Happy new year!!!
-----------
Seeing Yuei Vu take that troublesome "Prohibition" back into his hand, Dartz couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Damn, this thing again?
Calm down, I am the BOSS, I can't be angry…
"My turn, the last turn!"
It's Dartz's turn to play cards again. The behind-the-scenes boss was also full of confidence as if he was sure that he could win this turn.
Yuei Vu had only 600 LP left, while Dartz's HP was fully recovered in one breath… It was impossible to say that Yuei Vu did not feel pressure at all.
As previously mentioned, when facing a duelist with a high Rank and/or having a high level of dark power, the opponent would feel extra pressure.
Just like when more and more people face Yuei Vu, they would feel a kind of aura "from the Duel King", which was precise because his duelist's Rank was steadily rising, and his own aura brought the suppressive power onto the opponent was getting stronger and stronger, so it would give people psychological pressure during the match.
Dartz's Rank as a duelist must have started at 10 stars at least, maybe even higher. In the animation, Yugi and Kaiba were somewhat suppressed in the first round against Dartz, which was enough to show how terrifying this guy was as a duelist. At least he was not weaker than Yugi or Kaiba at the current stage.
But thinking of this, Yuei Vu turned around and thought about Dartz's performance so far in this battle, and suddenly felt that something was wrong...
However, he didn't have time to think about it now, as Dartz's words quickly dragged his senses back to the duel.
"It's still because of the side effect of Orichalcos Gigas, I can't draw cards normally when it exists on the field." Dartz said casually, and drew a card in his hand, "But it's not necessary anymore, the components I want to use have already been collected in my hands.
Activate Spell Card – Terraforming! "
The Spell card appeared in front of Dartz, and the artwork was an Earth-like planet in the boundless universe, and the central area was undergoing terraforming under a spreading blue wave.
"This card allows me to choose a Field Spell Card from the deck and add it to my hand." Dartz said, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "But which card do I want to take, shouldn't I need to say more?"
Sure enough, Dartz's goal was to launch "The Seal of Orichalcos".
Prohibition could only ban cards that have not yet been activated. If The Seal of Orichalcos had already appeared on the field, even Prohibition couldn't stop it.
This Field Spell Card was the key to the operation of Dartz's entire deck. In his tactics, there were other two Field Spell Cards with more powerful effects: "Orichalcos Deuteros" and "Orichalcos Tritos". However, they could be activated only when the first barrier was deployed.
Moreover, the first layer of the barrier itself was also a mass-produced card in Doma. All high-level believers had at least one copy in their hands, so there was no reason Dartz would not put the full three copies into his deck.
And needless to say, Dartz would definitely bring "Terraforming" into the deck. This Spell Card could retrieve any Field Spell from the deck, a must-have divine card for any deck that relied on Field Spell Cards.
Now in Dartz's deck, a copy of "The Seal of Orichalcos" was thrown to the GY by Yuei Vu's Mind Crush, and another piece was nailed to the wall by Lightforce Sword. Only one last copy lay in his thick deck.
What he wanted to retrieve now was naturally that card.
Dartz pulled out the deck: "According to the effect of Terraforming, I added the last 'The Seal of Orichalcos' to my hand."
Finally! This time it's really coming!
Although Dartz pretended to be calm and in control on the surface, in fact, his heart jumped a lot.
He never expected that this game would be so suffocating. The duel was almost finished, but he hasn't even had any chance to play the first barrier yet!
Because The Seal of Orichalcos was the key to the deck, it had absolute resistance that could not be stopped once it was activated, so he hardly considered the possibility that the barrier was not on the field.
However, what he didn't expect was that after the whole duel, he didn't even have a chance to activate the barrier…
…but that's all!
Can you have the guts to try to stop me again?
Yuei Vu couldn't telepathically hear Dartz's strange request, but of course, he was not ambiguous here.
Yes I can!
"Open the set card!" Yuei Vu waved his arm again, and immediately flipped a set card beside him, "Counter Trap – Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell!
When a Spell Card is activated: Discard 1 Spell Card; negate the activation and destroy it!
Moreover, the opponent cannot activate Spell Cards with that name for the rest of this Duel! "
Dartz's eyelids twitched for a moment, and he froze when he was preparing to find a Field Spell in his deck.
A mass of dark and chaotic power enveloped the "Terraforming" just launched by Dartz, eroded and shattered the magic power of the spell card, and finally, the card surface turned into golden dust and dissipated.
Dartz: "…"
Glancing at another copy of "Terraforming" in his hand, the last king of Atlantis, the representative of the god Orichalcos, the person in power behind the super organization Doma, couldn't help but fell into deep contemplation.
…Shall I consider giving up playing cards and changing into beating people with fists?
This was indeed a very tempting idea, but in the end, Dartz suppressed it.
It's not because he was a principled and upright villain like Marik. In the original animation, he could even do the scandal of catching hostages halfway through a game of cards. If beating people could solve the problem, he wouldn't play cards honestly.
However, although Yuei Vu himself was not very strong, he had a lot of powerful duel monster spirits by his side, including the three Egyptian Gods — normally, Egyptian Gods would not listen to their mortal masters, but Dartz knew that if he really wanted to use power play, Egyptian Gods would definitely not stand idly by.
In any case, playing cards was the best solution to the problem.
So even though he was very angry and aggrieved by being tricked, he temporarily suppressed his impulse and continued to fight honestly…
"Hmph." Dartz snorted displeasedly, but he still did not lose his kingly demeanor, "The last struggle? But even so, it can't change anything.
I said this turn is the last turn! "
Although in the end he failed to lay out the barrier and play the expected tactics, and because of this, none of the ace monsters could jump out, he still had countermeasures.
Anyway, what Yuei Vu left was only 600LP, which was like a candle in the wind!
"I summon 'Orichalcos Malevolence' in attack position!"
A demon covered with hot lava appeared on the Dartz field, its wings were shining with fiery golden lights, and its body was covered with red-hot rocks.
[Orichalcos Malevolence, ATK 1500]
"Then this card can give you the final blow!" Dartz waved his arm, and the card was inserted into the duel plate, "Activate Spell Card – Thunder Crash! Destroy all monsters I control, and inflict 300 damage to the opponent for each monster destroyed!"
Golden lightning fell from the sky, like a sharp arrow piercing through Orichalcos Malevolence and Gigas at the same time, turning the two monsters into a ball of black smoke.
"There are two destroyed monsters," Dartz sneered, "so the total damage is 600 points!"
[Yuei Vu, LP 600]
The lightning which pierced through the two monsters continued unabated, and rushed straight at Yuei Vu, like an arrow piercing the world!
"If you eat this damage…Master!"
When the Dark Magician girl exclaimed, she instinctively stood in front of Yuei Vu, as if she wanted to take the blow for him with her petite body.
Yuei Vu simply waved his arm: "Trap Card – Damage Diet! After this card is activated, all damage I received this turn will be halved!"
The lightning blasted down and exploded violently on Yuei Vu's side.
The materialized Dark Magician Girl shared part of the shock for the master, and both master and servant were blown away.
The girl sitting on the ground with her legs bent outwards touched her head, straightened her big hat, and turned her head quickly: "Master, are you alright?"
"…It's okay." Yuei Vu took a breath, "There is still life left, it's a small problem."
[Yuei Vu, LP 600 → LP 300]
That being said, the impact of this level was really no joke.
It was already a bit strenuous to withstand the pressure of Dartz, and the LP was reduced to only 300. If there was no spirit helping him share it, Yuei Vu felt that even with his current physical strength, he might not be able to bear it.
"It's a good thing you can take this blow." Dartz smiled lightly, "But you haven't forgotten the effect of 'Orichalcos Gigas', have you?"
Yuei Vu frowned tightly.
"Gigas will return from hell no matter how many times, and he will be even stronger!" Dartz shouted, "Gigas, who was destroyed by the effect of 'Thunder Crash', will be resurrected from the graveyard!"
The giant spirit with red eyes returned to the field again, its muscles seemed to swell again, and black mist lingered all over its body.
[Orichalcos Gigas, ATK 2900 → ATK 3400]
"By the effect of Card of Safe Return, I will draw three more cards." Dartz said lightly, "Of course, the same is true for your side."
Yuei Vu also drew three cards silently.
"But of course, it doesn't matter anymore." Dartz continued, "Honestly speaking, it's beyond my expectation that you can reach this point. Knowing so I'm a little bit interested…
…but Duel King Yuei Vu, your path stops here. Compared to those secrets about you, I still prefer to completely remove you from this world right now.
Battle! Orichalcos Gigas, attack Dark Magician of Chaos! Let's draw the finale to this duel! "
[Orichalcos Gigas, ATK 3400]
[Dark Magician of Chaos, ATK 2800]
[Yuei Vu, LP 300]
With red eyes, the giant spirit waved an iron chain, and launched a desperate sprint toward the magician!
"Oops… Oh crap, if you get hit now, your LP will be…" The Dark Magician Girl jumped up in a panic and tried to stand in front of her master, "Master!"
"Open the set card!" Another trap opened in front of Yuei Vu, "Quick-Play Spell- Command Silencer! Cancel the opponent's attack declaration and draw a card from the deck!" (Animation card)
That's right, it's an animation card from President Kaiba!
With Yuei Vu's current status in Kaiba Corp, as long as it was not the only exclusive card designated by the president like Blue-Eyes White Dragon, he would have no problem getting the cards he wanted.
The command was eliminated, and the attack of the giant spirit was abruptly terminated. The huge iron chain was blown back by the invisible sound waves released by the silencer, and the giant spirit returned to Dartz's field in disgrace.
Dartz frowned tightly, and it seemed that he had no next move for the time being.
Yuei Vu smiled: "You said to end me in this turn, but it doesn't look so smooth."
"It's really annoying to deal with." Dartz said indifferently, "I end my turn. At the End Phase, discard the extra cards in my hand until the number of cards in my hand becomes six."
