With only 800 LP left, the situation on the field was also at a disadvantage. But the veteran Shogun didn't panic at all. On the contrary, he felt a little…excited?
He couldn't remember clearly, when was the last time he fought against someone like this with all his strength.
Too many years and too many things happened, and he has almost forgotten this kind of excitement.
The purple-red pupils seemed to be on fire, and the aura of the whole person changed, with black and invisible flames swaying around his body.
"Very good." He said in a deep voice, "Being able to defeat me and my warriors in the ceremony, you have proved your strength, human warrior.
But that's all! The word 'defeat' is not in my dictionary. Although it is exciting, this duel…will still be my victory! "
The Shogun raised the Duel Disk and drew the card as if he was standing at the forefront of thousands of troops, ready to take the lead and draw his sword out of its sheath.
"My turn, draw!"
Shien pulled out the card vigorously, and the invisible power burst out at that moment as if leaving a black wave in the air.
"First of all, I want to use this Spell Card again!" The card appeared in front of Shien, "Continuous Spell Card – Six Samurai United! Whenever a Six Samurai monster is summoned, place a Bushido Counter on this card.
Then open the set card: Trap Card – Return of the Six Samurai! Target 1 'Six Samurai' monster in my GY; Special Summon that target! "
A wave of darkness was released from the Duel Disk's GY area, and a card was ejected from it and flew into Shien's hand in a whirl.
"Resurrect from the underworld, The Six Samurai – Irou!"
The darkness erupted like a wave, and the warrior in black returned to the field half-kneeling, on one knee, with a long knife in his hand.
[The Six Samurai – Irou, ATK 1700 → ATK 1900] (enhanced by the effect of The A. Forces)
"At this moment, open the set card!" A set card was also flipped at Yuei Vu's feet, "Trap Card – Dark Renewal!"
The trap was opened, and a strange black mist rose from the ground, and the red coffin slowly rose from the black mist.
"This trap can only be activated when the opponent Normal or Special Summons 1 or more monsters," Yuei Vu said, "Use one of the monsters summoned by the opponent and 1 Spellcaster monster on my field as sacrifices, send both monsters to the GY to Special Summon 1 DARK Spellcaster monster from my Deck or GY!"
I will sacrifice the "The Six Samurai – Irou" you summoned and the "Dark Magician of Chaos" on my field, and resurrect the 'Dark Magician' from the graveyard in the defense position! "
As soon as the warrior in black returned to the field, he was captured by invisible magic power. It seemed to be tightly held by invisible hands. The Dark Magician of Chaos and the warrior turned into beams of light respectively and flew into the coffin on the ground.
Bloody mist erupted, and a beam of black light burst out from the coffin. The mage in the red robe fell back to the ground with a vertical leap.
[Dark Magician, DEF 2100]
The Dark Magician Girl blinked her eyes aside, with a big question mark on her little head.
Why does Master want to sacrifice the more powerful Dark Magician of Chaos? To call back the teacher's appearance before his transformation?
"Hm, then I'll normal summon 'Chamberlain of the Six Samurai' in attack position!"
What appeared on the stage was a scarred warrior wearing mechanical prosthetics instead of two severed arms. But the robotic arm was still clutching a sharp long knife.
[Chamberlain of the Six Samurai, ATK 200 → ATK 400] (enhanced by the effect of The A. Forces)
"Next, when there is a Six Samurai monster on the field, the 'Grandmaster of the Six Samurai' can be Special Summoned from the hand!"
The second Grandmaster was placed on the Duel Disk, and the one-eyed old man who had just left the stage returned to the stage again with a horizontal sword in his chest.
[Grandmaster of the Six Samurai, ATK 2100 → ATK 2500]
"It's not over, and because there are two Six Samurai on the field, I will special summon myself from the hand again——
——Great Shogun Shien! "
A scarlet storm rolled up between the venues, and the Shogun in red armor returned to the venue, with a chilling air, as if returning from the underworld.
Yuei Vu: "…"
Why don't you play your cards according to the routine? In the anime, doesn't everyone carry only one soul card by default?
You …. you actually stuffed a second copy of yourself in the deck?
[Great Shogun Shien, ATK 2500 → ATK 3100]
[Chamberlain of the Six Samurai, ATK 400 → ATK 800]
[Grandmaster of the Six Samurai, ATK 2500 → ATK 2700]
"Too…too strong." The Dark Magician Girl on the side exclaimed.
At the same time, she was feeling a little depressed.
When will my dueling skills be as good as his?
I feel stupid every time I fight with my master. I was instantly killed without even having a chance to play a few cards.
I always feel that the master has not started, yet I can't bear his full length. I have always felt guilty…
Restored this luxurious lineup, Shien glanced at the shining Masked HERO on Yuei Vu's field and snorted.
"By banishing the monsters in the GY, he can reduce the opponent's attack power. He is indeed a very powerful and troublesome hero. If I attack rashly, I can be defeated…"
"Not bad." Yuei Vu said lightly, "Because of the increase in the number of your monsters, Koga's attack power has also increased."
[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 2500 → ATK 4000]
The Dark Magician Girl clenched her small fists: "If the attack power is 4000, it's not so easy to defeat!"
After all, Koga's attack power is about equal to twice mine now!
"It is indeed a very powerful hero." Shien said, "but a duel is a strategic competition between the two sides. The competition is not only about the strength of the subordinates but also the strategy of the commander. As long as the commander who is the backbone falls, no matter how strong your fighters are, they provide no threat."
As he said that, he waved his arm and activated the Continuous Spell Card on his field.
"I send the Continuous Spell Card 'Shien's Dojo' to the graveyard to activate its effect! From my deck, Special Summon 1 'Six Samurai' or 'Shien' Effect Monster, whose Level is less than or equal to the number of 'Bushido Counters' placed on this card!"
"The effect of 'Shien's Dojo' will place 1 Bushido Counter every time Six Samurai monsters are summoned," Yuei Vu said, "then there are a total of three Bushido Counters placed on this card now."
"That's right, so I can special summon a Six Samurai monster whose level is 3 or lower from the deck."
Shien sent the Spell Card to the GY, and the surrounding buildings immediately sank to the ground with rumbling noises. The dojo gave out a low roar, and the surging energy interweaved in the center of the open space, calling for new warriors to come.
"Come on, my most loyal warrior!" Shien pulled out the warrior he wanted to call, "The Six Samurai – Yariza!"
The one who was summoned from the dojo was a warrior in blue and black armor holding a long spear. The black rope at the end of the gun handle was connected to the armor around his waist.
[The Six Samurai – Yariza, ATK 1000]
The Six Samurai – Yariza, whose prototype was Maeda Toshiie, a famous military Shogun in the Sengoku period, a retainer of the Oda family, known as "Yari no Mataza".
"At this moment, there are three Six Samurai monsters on my field." Shien said, holding up a card in his hand, "Let me show you the real power of the Six Samurai!
Activate the Spell Card from the hand: Six Strike – Triple Impact!
This card can only be activated by selecting one of the three effects when there are 3 or more face-up 'Six Samurai' monsters on my field: 'Destroy all face-up monsters on the opponent's field'; 'Destroy all face-up Spell/Trap Cards on the opponent's field'; or 'Destroy all set Spell/Trap Cards on the opponent's field. "
Shien narrowed his eyes, and his sharp eyes fell straight on the Masked HERO Koga whose attack power was now as high as 4500.
"First of all, of course, we have to get rid of that troublesome hero," he waved his arm, "The effect I chose is to destroy all the monsters on the opponent's field!
As the card was inserted, the Spell Card emerged, and the three warriors of the Six Samurai formed a special formation, and launched a devastating charge toward Yuei Vu's field from different angles!
If this blow was successful, Yuei Vu's field would be directly cleared, and it was equal to his whole body being exposed naked in front of the four warriors!
Of course, Yuei Vu would not let this happen, he waved his arm: "Activate the Trap Card from the GY – Magician Navigation!"
Shien was startled: "Activate trap card in the GY?"
A black vortex opened up on the ground, and trap cards swirled out from the GY. They burned all their strength in mid-air and opened up a huge magic circle barrier.
"Magician Navigation can only be activated from GY when there is a 'Dark Magician' on my field!" Yuei Vu said, "I can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 face-up Spell/Trap the opponent controls; negate its effects until the end of this turn!
I will negate the effect of your Six Strike – Triple Impact! "
The three soldiers of the Six Samurai rushed forward aggressively, only to see the Dark Magician sweep his staff, and the huge magic circle immediately blocked their way. Their saber light only splashed the slightest sparks on the magic circle, completely unable to shake its defense.
Helpless, the three warriors had no choice but to return in vain and bowed themselves in front of the Shogun apologetically to plead guilty.
"I see… That's why you sacrificed the more powerful 'Dark Magician of Chaos' to resurrect the Dark Magician. Even this move was blocked… You are really good, I haven't seen such an excellent fighter like you for a long time," Shien nodded approvingly, "But it's not over yet! Enter the Battle Phase!
I'm going to attack with The Six Samurai – Yariza! "
The samurai in blue armor received the Shogun's order without hesitation, and rushed out like a wild horse!
"Eh? Attack with the monster with the lowest attack power?" The Dark Magician Girl was surprised.
Yuei Vu frowned: "This guy's special ability…"
Before the words fell, the blue warrior had already performed a strange movement technique, and disappeared out of thin air like a ghost!
"That's right, The Six Samurai – Yariza is a warrior with special abilities! When there are other Six Samurai on his side, he can directly attack the opposing player!"
Shien said, sneered, and waved his finger to the Continous Spell Card that was taking effect beside him.
"Then there is the effect of The A. Forces, you have not forgotten it, have you?"
"All Warrior-Type monsters you control gain 200 ATK for each Warrior or Spellcaster-Type monster you control." Yuei Vu frowned.
"That's right. I have four Warriors on the field, so the attack power of Yariza increased by 800!"
[The Six Samurai – Yariza, ATK 1000 → ATK 1800]
[Yuei Vu, LP 1800]
"Oops… Oh crap!" The Dark Magician Girl yelled, "If this comes to pass, the master's LP will…"
Yuei Vu didn't panic: "The effect of Masked HERO Koga is activated! Banish 'Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier' in the GY, and the attack power of The Six Samurai – Yariza will drop by Liquid Soldier's ATK, which is 1400 points!"
Masked HERO Koga let out a low cry, and swung his knife to slice. The phantom of Liquid Soldier emerged in mid-air, turning into a stream of water and impacting Yariza, who was launching a sneak attack behind him.
[The Six Samurai – Yariza, ATK 1800 → ATK 400]
The left side of Yariza swayed, and the thrown flying spear missed its aim, and only passed Yuei Vu's shoulder.
[Yuei Vu, LP 1800→LP 1400]
"That's right, you can only do this, because this is the only way for you to survive Yariza's attack!" Shien raised his voice and shouted, "But in this way, the effect of this troublesome Masked HERO cannot be used anymore!
Next is myself, Great Shogun Shien! Attack Masked HERO Koga! "
[Great Shogun Shien, ATK 3300]
[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 4500]
"Using Shien, who has a lower attack power…does he really have a backup?" Yuei Vu frowned.
"Hmph, this is the level of arrangement that a commander should have. There will always be a backup!" Shien shouted, "Open the set card! Trap Card – Nitwit Outwit!
Discard a monster, until the end of the turn, the attack power of a monster on the field will be reduced by the discarded monster's attack power! "
Shien showed a card in his hand and quickly threw it into the graveyard.
"I discarded The Six Samurai – Yaichi from my hand until the end of the round, and Koga's attack power decreased by Yaichi's attack power… that is 1300 points!"
[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 4500 → ATK 3200]
"Ah!" The Dark Magician Girl exclaimed, "The attack power has been overtaken…"
Great Shogun Shien drew his blade out of its sheath, and the pitch-black blade sliced through the hero's golden armor. The latter let out a miserable grunt, and exploded with a bang.
[Yuei Vu, LP 1400 → LP 1300]
"Next is Grandmaster of the Six Samurai!" Shien shouted, "Attack the Dark Magician!"
The Grandmaster of the Six Samurai who appeared second also avenged the previous one. The Dark Magician who took a defensive posture was no match for this grandmaster at all. The magic circle he used to defend himself was easily shattered, and he was also shattered under the blade.
"The last is Chamberlain of the Six Samurai!" Shien shouted, "Attack directly!"
[Chamberlain of the Six Samurai, ATK 1000]
The light of the knife flashed across Yuei Vu's body. Yuei Vu swayed from the cold touch like a real blade piercing through his body and took half a step back.
[Yuei Vu, LP 1300 → LP 300]
"In this way, all my attacks will be over. Unfortunately, there is no way to completely reduce your LP to 0, but…"
Shien drew the last two cards from his hand.
"First, I'll set this card, and then activate the Spell Card – Card Destruction! Both players discard all the cards in their hands, and then draw the same number."
After a pause, Shien snorted.
"Of course, I don't have any cards in my hand, so I won't be affected. But the troublesome 'Forbidden Chalice' you got back in your hand last turn? Please discard it for me."
Yuei Vu glanced at the cards in his hand, did not speak, and drew the same number after discarding them all.
"This is the end of my turn." Shien put down his hands, "Come on, this is my strongest lineup, my full power! If you can defeat it, come and try!"
