What flew out of Dartz's deck was a huge green statue.
It's quite huge but didn't look that threatening. Its appearance was a bit like the kind of statue that was enshrined in a temple, and it looked so weird.
"The attack power of Orichalcos Shunoros is equal to the total amount of battle damage reduced to 0 by the effect of the 'Orichalcos Kyutora' that Summoned this card." Dartz said, "So now the attack power of Shunoros is…"
[Orichalcos Shunoros, ATK 6350 → ATK 6850] (enhanced by the Field Spell's effect)
It has already exceeded the attack power value of the Obelisk, but Yuei Vu didn't show much surprise.
With only 6350 attack power, this was the result of Yuei Vu knowing the opponent's monster effect in advance and not letting Kyutora absorb excess damage.
Outside, Yugi and others were completely unprepared since this was the first time they faced Dartz, thus they let Orichalcos Kyutora absorb more than 20,000 points of damage. As soon as Shunoros jumped onto the field, his attack power was over 20,000, and the long string of numbers looked a little scary.
"Then, when Shunoros was successfully special summoned," Dartz continued, "From the hand or deck, I can Special Summon two specific monsters.
Special Summon the left hand of Shunoros – Orichalcos Aristeros – in defense position!"
As soon as the words fell, the left arm of the giant statue had been automatically disassembled. The arm floated out of nowhere and lay in front of Yuei Vu.
[Orichalcos Aristeros, DEF 0]
"Special Summon the right hand of Shunoros – Orichalcos Dexia – in attack position!"
This time, the statue's right hand was automatically disassembled, and it clenched its fist and floated to the field in the monster area in front of it.
[Orichalcos Dexia, ATK 0 → ATK 500]
The summoning of Shunoros was within Yuei Vu's expectation – after all, as long as the damage-absorbing eye left the field, this statue would automatically pop out of the deck, and it was difficult to stop the summoning of this thing.
However, even the Tormentor HERO Obelisk's fist of destruction was prevented, which was a bit unexpected for him. That old fox Dartz was indeed not on the same level as the opponents Yuei Vu has defeated so far.
Now Dartz's LP was 10600, while Yuei Vu only had 700. Looking at the LP alone, it seemed to be an absolutely unfavorable situation.
Yuei Vu noticed that the silent lady on the side seemed to be a little worried.
She looked hesitant to speak, like a little girl who was too shy to speak in front of strangers.
"It's okay, don't worry." Yuei Vu smiled and comforted her, "The duel is not over yet."
The Silent Magician hesitated for a moment, then nodded earnestly following her expression, as if to express her trust in him.
Yuei Vu was a little surprised. As far as the first meeting was concerned, she was willing to trust him so much. As a spirit, from the moment she entrusted her soul card to the duelist, this meant that they were already of one mind.
If Yuei Vu lost in this duel, the Silent Magician would also be severely injured. At worst, she might even be directly swallowed by the evil god.
…Could it be that this is also because my Charm is too high?
But also because of this, Yuei Vu couldn't lose this duel.
"Set a card, I end my turn."
"My turn." Dartz said, "Because of the effect of Gigas, I can't draw cards. But this turn I want to activate this card. This is the symbol of Orichalcos's ultimate power, to which even Gods can't compare!"
The black Duel Disk's field area popped up. Dartz took the "Orichalcos Deuteros" in the field area and replaced it with a new Field Spell card.
"Come on, Orichalcos' third barrier! Orichalcos Tritos!"
Dark green light blasted down from the sky. It was like a waterfall hanging down from the sky. A new layer of the barrier was opened on the original two, turning slowly like a clock dial.
The atmosphere on the field instantly became more depressing. The entire area seemed to be dominated by the power of the evil god, and the air was heavy and turbid.
Fortunately, with Obelisk present, the Egyptian God's aura resisted most of the pressure brought by this new barrier. Otherwise, Yuei Vu was not even sure whether he could continue to fight.
There was no doubt that this layer of Orichalcos barrier still inherited the effects of the previous two.
"The third layer of the Orichalcos barrier, Orichalcos Tritos, is also the final barrier," Dartz said. "Of course, this layer also inherits all the abilities of two previous barriers.
So I activate the effect of the second barrier first – Once per turn, I can gain 500 Life Points for each monster I control.
I have four monsters on the field: Orichalcos Shunoros, Orichalcos Aristeros, Orichalcos Dexia, and Orichalcos Gigas. So I restore 2000 LP. "
[Dartz, LP 10600 → LP 12600]
"Then let's fight directly." Dartz waved his hand, "Orichalcos Dexia, attack Obelisk!"
[Orichalcos Dexia, ATK 500]
The arm that floated in the air shot out under the remote control of the statue and flew towards the giant soldier through the air.
We all knew that those with 0 attack power were all monsters among monsters. Although the attack power of this arm has increased to 500 due to the effect of the barrier, making the value of fashion drop a lot, it did not affect the fact that it had 0 original ATK.
"The effect of Orichalcos Dexia!" Dartz said, "When this card battles with the opponent's monster, the ATK of this card becomes equal to either that Attack Position monster's ATK or that Defense Position monster's DEF, + 300 points until the end of the Damage Step!"
[Orichalcos Dexia, ATK 500 → ATK 4300]
The attack power instantly surpassed that of the Obelisk!
But Yuei Vu has already prepared for it: "Counter Trap – Negate Attack! When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Target the attacking monster; negate the attack, then end the Battle Phase!"
He remembered the effect of Orichalcos' third barrier, which should be that all monsters on Dartz's field would not be affected by the effects of Spell and Trap Cards. So in principle, Negate Attack could not negate Dexia's attack, but the Battle Phase could still be forcibly ended.
"It's useless." Dartz raised his hand, "The effect of Orichalcos Tritos! It can negate the activation and destroy any Spell and Trap Card effects that affect my monsters!"
Yuei Vu was a little surprised.
Negate the activation? Is it not just "unaffected by Spell and Trap Card effects"?
Well, after all, this thing didn't have a real-life version, and it was not fully explained in the animation. So it was not easy to verify such details.
At this moment, Orichalcos Tritos had responded. The sacred green light rippling in the space concentrated in one place, suppressing the whirlwind released by Yuei Vu's trap card, and Negate Attack was quickly shattered under that divine power.
If even the activation of the trap was disabled, of course, the Battle Phase could not be forcibly ended.
"Orichalcos's final barrier has no blind spot! The battle continues!" Dartz shouted, "Go, Dexia, destroy the god!"
The statue's right hand flew arrogantly in front of the Obelisk as if it was about to slap him. The God of Destruction was very furious, but there was nothing he can do at the moment because in terms of the attack power, this damned palm is indeed stronger now…
But Yuei Vu had another move: "The effect of the 'Electromagnetic Turtle' in the GY is activated! Once per Duel, during the opponent's Battle Phase: Banish this card from my GY; end the Battle Phase!"
The hand of the statue failed to slap Obelisk's face, as the magnetic barrier released by Electromagnetic Turtle blocked the attack, and when the two sides collided, countless blue arcs were aroused in midair.
"Electromagnetic Turtle…Is it the card you discarded to the GY in the last turn?" Dartz said lightly, "You didn't use this card when I attacked with the Mirror Knight before… The calculation is far enough."
He glanced at the huge Egyptian God on Yuei Vu's field and smiled slightly: "Well, since that's the case, let's keep this Egyptian God around for a while.
Set a card, I end my turn."
