Checkmate!
Heart Gone With The Wind held his breath. In the countless duels since he came into contact with this game, he has never looked forward to victory as he was today.
Different opponents have different weights of victory.
But just as Gyzarus spread his wings and countless red spikes scattered like a rain of flowers, Yuei Vu also raised his arms.
"Quick-Play Spell – Emergency Provisions." The cover card in front of him flipped open, "Send any number of other Spell/Trap Cards I control to the Graveyard; gain 1000 LP for each card sent to the Graveyard this way. "
He draws two cards from the Duel Disk.
"I sent the Equip Spell 'Excalibur' and the Continuous Spell 'Mirage of Nightmare' to the GY, and restore 2000 LP."
The two cards dissipated from the field with a faint golden glow, turning into warm and soft light surrounding Yuei Vu's body. One of the two swords in the hands of the Dark Magician Girl disappeared at the same time, and her boosted power was also weakened.
[Yuei Vu, LP 600 → LP 2600]
[Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight, ATK 5200 → ATK 2600]
"Then according to Gyzarus's effect, destroy the Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight!"
Although he was a little disappointed that he lost the opportunity to defeat the opponent, the things Heart Gone With The Wind wanted to do remained the same. The spikes shot by the Gladiator Beast Gyzarus all focused in the same direction, the huge body of the legendary dragon was pierced, and countless cracks were burned out of the scales.
The girl on the dragon's back tried her best to resist with her sword, but finally, she couldn't completely defend herself against such a dense attack and disappeared from the field in a cloud of smoke under the sweeping rain of flowers.
"Battle!" Heart Gone With The Wind waved his hand, "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus, direct attack!"
Gyzarus soared into the sky. He spread his wings and flew away from the ground, his scarlet pupils shone with a strange dark light. The metal wings sprayed out a trajectory like an airplane engine, pushing its body into a piercing afterimage, and exploded at Yuei Vu's face with a loud noise soaring into the sky!
[Yuei Vu, LP 2600 → LP 200]
Yuei Vu crossed his arms to protect his face. After the virtual shock was over, he looked up at Heart Gone With The Wind, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Not bad."
"You too." Heart Gone With The Wind said seriously.
Yuei Vu even began to feel a little bit, as if he had some sense of déjà vu from playing cards with this guy in his previous life.
He quite enjoyed the duel.
"I'm going to end this turn like this." Heart Gone With The Wind said, "However, at the end of the Battle Phase, the effect of Gyzarus was also activated.
At the end of the Battle Phase, if this card battled, I can return it to the Extra Deck; Special Summon 2 'Gladiator Beast' monsters from my Deck, except 'Gladiator Beast Bestiari'."
While speaking, Gyzarus, who had his arms around him on the field, dissipated into countless golden light spots and returned to the deck.
"Then according to Gyzarus's effect, I Special Summon 'Gladiator Beast Hoplomus' in Defense Position!" He opened the deck and picked out two cards, "The other is Gladiator Beast Vespasianus!"
The sea dragon-style gladiator beast that had just left the field this round returned to the field again, holding a golden long sword across the field.
The newly-appeared beast, Hoplomus, was a rhinoceros-like gladiator. He wore what could almost be said to be bulky golden armor, and when his footsteps landed it sounded like a warhammer knocking down, his figure was as majestic as a tall and straight mountain.
[Gladiator Beast Vespasius, ATK 2300]
[Gladiator Beast Hoplomus, DEF 2100]
"The effect of Vespasius – As long as this monster is Special Summoned by the effect of a 'Gladiator Beast' monster, the ATK of all my monsters will increase by 500."
[Gladiator Beast Vespasius, ATK 2300 → ATK 2800]
"Then comes the effect of Hoplomus." He continued, "If this card was Special Summoned by the effect of a 'Gladiator Beast' monster, its original DEF becomes 2400."
[Gladiator Beast Hoplomus, DEF 2100 → DEF 2400]
A monster with an attack power of 2800 and a monster with a defense power of 2400. It was indeed a relatively stable lineup.
If he survived this turn Heart Gone With The Wind could fuse "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus" again in the next turn and get another chance to defeat the opponent with Gyzarus's powerful ability!
…Of course, the premise was that there was a next turn.
"My turn, draw." Yuei Vu drew a card from his hand, "Summon the 'Berry Magician Girl'!"
The magic circle was unscrewed, and there was a burst of warm-toned spell effects. A magic girl with a pacifier in her mouth and a lollipop-like staff appeared on Yuei Vu's field.
[Berry Magician Girl, ATK 400]
"The effect of Berry Magician Girl – If this card is Normal Summoned: I can add 1 'Magician Girl' monster from my Deck to my hand." Yuei Vu drew a card from the deck, "I add the 'Chocolate Magician Girl' to the hand. "
"The next is Quick-Play Spell – Illusion Magic." Yuei Vu played the second card, "Tribute 1 Spellcaster monster; add up to 2 copies of 'Dark Magician' from my Deck and/or GY to my hand."
The magic girl with a pacifier in her mouth blinked her big watery eyes, and her figure quickly disappeared under the light effect of the spell.
Two Dark Magician cards both popped out from the Duel Disk's GY area and were taken back by Yuei Vu.
"Spell Card – Ancient Rules." An ancient yellowed picture scroll appeared in front of Yuei Vu, "This card allows me to Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher Normal Monster from my hand.
Come back to the field again, Dark Magician! "
The blood-colored magic power erupted, and the mage's law enforcement staff flew out, with his arms embracing the green staff and hanging in mid-air, his robe fluttering gently.
[Dark Magician, ATK 2500]
"It's a Dark Magician again…" Heart Gone With The Wind's heart moved slightly, and his eyes turned to the three cards left in Yuei Vu's hand.
Two of the three cards were equivalent to being exposed. One of them was the Dark Magician who was retrieved through Illusion Magic, and the other was the Chocolate Magician Girl who was retrieved through the effect of Berry Magician Girl.
Yuei Vu's Normal Summon opportunity has already been used up, and these two cards were temporarily useless.
That was to say, there was only one card that may come in handy.
…
... Can you still OTK me with just one card?
The answer to that card would soon be revealed.
"Spell Card – Magical Stone Excavation." The last card appeared in front of Yuei Vu, "Discard two cards, and return a Spell Card in my GY to my hand."
Heart Gone With The Wind's eyelids jumped.
Taking back a Spell Card in the graveyard…
All the cards in Yuei Vu's hand were sent to the tomb, and the key card that determined the outcome was quickly exchanged from the GY area!
"Activate Spell Card – The Eye of Timaeus!"
The players next to him started chattering again, shouting some incomprehensible words like "scoring twice".
As if the dragon chant came from the distant void, the huge blue dragon shadow reappeared like an illusion, with a majestic flash in its one eye!
"The effect of the Eye of Timaeus – Target 1 'Dark Magician' monster on my field; Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck that mentions that monster on the field as material, using it as the Fusion Material.
I target the Dark Magician!
Using the power of the legendary dragon as a medium, the Dark Magician will become an invincible knight——
——Arrival! Dark Cavalry! "
The Dark Magician and the phantom of the dragon merged with each other, and the howling of the horse came from the surging magic storm! The pitch-black steed galloped through the magic circle surrounded by layers, and on the horseback was a knight in black magic armor. He held a red spiral spear, and the dark magic power overflowed from under him.
That's right, it was the ace monster that was printed on the scene when Yugi played against Yuei Vu in the finals of Battle City.
It wasn't until the end of the Doma arc that he finally drew the Dark Magician's exclusive trump card from the card pool!
[Dark Cavalry, ATK 2800]
"The effect of Dark Cavalry." Yuei Vu said, "This card gains 100 ATK for each Spell/Trap on the field and in the GYs."
All the cards from the duel between the two sides have emerged from the graveyard. Among them were every Spell and Trap cards they used in this game, as well as the cards that were discarded to the graveyard by both sides in the first turn.
There were twenty-five Spell and Trap cards in total!
"Therefore, the attack power of the Dark Cavalry has increased by 2500!"
[Dark Cavalry, ATK 2800 → ATK 5300]
A group of players next to him started to stand on the spot, and even Heart Gone With The Wind who was in the field closed his pupils slightly, looking up at the magic knight with a domineering aura straddling a horse.
...A handsomeness that cracked the sky!
As a player, the focus was different from that of an NPC. If it was a local NPC here, they might be amazed at the super high attack power higher than the legendary "Five-Headed Dragon". What players paid more attention to is that this monster was very handsome and stylish…
Yuei Vu continued, "When the Dark Cavalry attacks a Defense Position monster, it can inflict piercing battle damage!"
Of course, judging from the current situation, no matter which monster was attacked, the ending would be the same.
"Battle!" Yuei Vu said, "Dark Cavalry, attack the 'Gladiator Beast Hoplomus'! Black Spiral Strike!"
The horse galloped in the air! It stepped on a magic circle of black magic, and the sound of horseshoes echoed clearly in midair! The cavalry sprinted with a stern momentum, and the spiral spears attached to the power of contempt and penetrating everything!
The heavy armor of the rhinoceros was pierced, and the spear air of the black magic pierced out. Hoplomus's body exploded, and the aftermath of the black magic continued unabated as if sweeping away thousands of troops!
[Heart Gone With The Wind, LP 1200 → LP 0]
