"Activate the Spell Card 'Sacred Sword of Seven Stars'." Yuei Vu said, "Banish 1 Level 7 monster from my hand or face-up on my field; draw 2 cards.
I banish the Level 7 'Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight' in my hand, and draw cards from the deck. "
After adding two cards to the hand, he took out another card.
"Activate the Spell Card 'Tribute Doll' from the hand." Yuei Vu said, "Tribute 1 monster; Special Summon 1 Level 7 monster from your hand that can be Normal Summoned/Set. It cannot attack this turn.
I tribute 'Sangan' to summon 'Charging Gaia the Fierce Knight'! "
The figure of Sangan disappeared, turning into a beam of light and flying into the black void. There was the sound of galloping horseshoes, the spiraling red spear pierced the darkness, and the dark knight rushed out with a pitch-black steed on his hips.
[Charging Gaia the Fierce Knight, ATK 2300]
"Gaia the Fierce Knight…is this his ace spirit?" Mahad thought.
"The effect of Sangan!" The phantom of the "Sangan" that had just been sacrificed quickly appeared in front of Yuei Vu, "If this card is sent from the field to the GY: Add 1 monster with 1500 or less ATK from my Deck to my hand.
I add the 'Beginning Knight' to my hand. "
A card popped out of the deck automatically, was pulled out by Yuei Vu, and returned to his hand, then the deck was quickly shuffled.
"Activate Spell Card 'Pre-Preparation of Rites'." Yuei Vu continued, "Add 1 Ritual Spell from my Deck to my hand, and add 1 Ritual Monster from my Deck or GY to my hand whose name is mentioned on that Ritual Spell.
I add the Ritual Spell 'Black Luster Ritual' and the Ritual Monster 'Black Luster Soldier' from the deck to my hand. "
Another two cards popped out of the deck, and were drawn out by Yuei Vu respectively, and the deck was shuffled again.
Priest Mahad's eyelids twitched, and for a brief moment, he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Did he just say…Black Luster Soldier!?
Countless people have heard his legend, but no one has ever seen his true appearance. The only thing they knew was that he was the strongest warrior standing at the apex of the spirit world.
If it followed the normal development three thousand years ago, then the legendary Black Luster Soldier was finally convinced by Yami Yugi and willingly became the loyal servant of the Pharaoh.
But in this memory world, the strongest warrior was now Yuei Vu's spirit.
"Ritual Spell 'Black Luster Ritual'!" Yuei Vu directly activated the magic with a wave of his big hand, "By Tributing monsters from my hand or field whose total Levels equal 8 or more, perform a Ritual Summon!
Using the level 7 'Charging Gaia the Fierce Knight' on the field and the level 4 'Beginning Knight' in the hand as sacrifices! "
The deep black altar and the staggered long swords reflected the dancing flames. The two knights both settled down, a golden light and a dark light intersected with each other in mid-air, one left and one right respectively fell into the altar.
"One soul guides the light, one soul guides the darkness, and the gate of chaos opens here.
Ritual Summon! Come, Black Luster Soldier! "
The interweaving of light and darkness penetrated into the depths of chaos in this sacred ceremony. The warrior's soul was revived, like a golden meteor breaking out from the depths of the chaos, carrying an unparalleled warrior, the golden light was like a torrent washing over his dark blue armor and golden patterns.
[Black Luster Soldier, ATK 3000]
Mahad's face changed slightly.
Is it really a Black Luster Soldier?
That Black Luster Soldier!?
And the Black Luster Soldier appearing here was not a Normie. The Black Luster Soldier summoned by using the "Beginning Knight" as a ritual material had the powerful effect of being able to banish any monster on the field once a turn and attack again when he defeated the opponent's monster.
A legendary warrior truly worthy of his "strongest" title!
"Even such a powerful fighter is willing to be used by you… No wonder Priest Seto is no match for you." Mahad quickly calmed down, and he couldn't help but feel more admiration for this "friend of the Pharaoh".
But his title as the "Strongest Magician" was not a joke. With a serious expression on his face, he waved his hand and opened the slab: "The moment your Black Luster Soldier stepped on this field, he already triggered my trap!
The trap he triggered was, 'Void Trap Hole'! "
Void Trap Hole: When your opponent Special Summons a monster(s) with 2000 or more ATK: Negate the effects of 1 of those monsters with 2000 or more ATK, and if you do, destroy it.
A hole opened under the Black Luster Soldier's feet. The warrior stepped into the air and immediately fell from the pit into purgatory, and instantly dissipated into golden powder.
"At the same moment, the power of the new magician has also been triggered."
Mahad pointed in front of him, and another stone slab was flipped quickly.
"Show yourself, Magician of Dark Illusion!!!"
The slab dissipated out of thin air, replaced by a huge black magic circle. The mage in a black robe flew out of the magic circle with a green staff in his hand. Both his shape and figure resembled the "Dark Magician" of later generations, except that the face of the mage robe was pitch black.
[Magician of Dark Illusion, ATK 2100]
Magician of Dark Illusion: During your opponent's turn, if you activate a Spell/Trap Card or effect (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand.
This magician spirit looked like the one summoned by Mahad to fight Bakura in the original animation. It's just that according to the card effect, the Magician of Dark Illusion needed to cooperate with the "Dark Magician" to exert his full strength. Now without the Dark Magician, his power would naturally have to be discounted.
Mana, who was secretly watching the battle in the dark, admired her master very much: "As expected of Master, he is amazing! Master eliminated such a powerful fighter in one fell swoop, and even summoned the ace magician… "
However, Yuei Vu was not at all annoyed by the ace monster being pitted, and just continued: "Then the effect of 'Charging Gaia the Fierce Knight' is activated.
If this card is Tributed: I can add 1 'Black Luster Soldier' monster from my Deck to my hand. "
Draw out a card that popped up from the deck again, and Yuei Vu showed it briefly: "I added the 'Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning' to my hand."
"The Envoy of the Beginning…"
This name made Mahad secretly feel a little bad. But the Black Luster Soldier was already a legendary warrior, and it was impossible for others to see his various vests.
"Then I banish the LIGHT-attribute 'Beginning Knight' and the DARK-attribute 'Sangan' from the GY!
The souls of light and darkness are sacrificed in the gateway to chaos, where the legendary strongest warrior descends——
——Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning! ! ! "
A whirlpool of chaos suddenly appeared in the clear sky, and dark clouds enveloped the palace.
The golden thunder pierced through the clouds and landed straight on the floor tiles… No, it was not thunder, but an incomparable sword light that opened up the world!
The sword energy broke through space, bringing the vision of the beginning of heaven and earth! The golden light shot out from behind the clouds like arrows piercing the clouds, and the swordsman in the blue armor slowly fell to the ground with the majesty like a god descending from the sky.
[Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning, ATK 3000]
"Next is the effect of the 'Beginning Knight'. If this card is banished from the Graveyard: I can add 1 Ritual Spell Card from the deck to my hand."
Yuei Vu said slowly and drew a card from the deck again.
"I add the Ritual Spell 'Super Soldier Ritual' to my hand." Yuei Vu showed the card and added it to his hand, "Let's continue the battle. 'Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning', attack Maha Vailo!"
The Black Luster Soldier flew forward, and the long sword was held out like a silver dragon. In an instant, the momentum of the sword burst out layers upon layers of endless sword shadows, like forming a boundless wave!
Maha Vailo was just a low-level mage, how could he resist this kind of power? In just a moment, the endless sword light pierced his body full of holes and made him explode on the spot.
[Mahad, LP 4000 → LP 2550]
The domineering chaotic sword energy and the impact of the explosion caused Mahad to sway back half a step, the Millennium Ring on his chest fluttered violently, and the metal parts rubbed against each other crisply.
"The effect of 'Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning' is activated." Yuei Vu said, "If this attacking card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, it can make a second attack in a row."
Mahad's eyelids moved.
This warrior is so powerful!?
The Black Luster Soldier succeeded with a single strike of the sword, and kept moving. With a whirl of footsteps, he dodged in front of the dark magician.
The Magician of Dark Illusion raised his staff, and released a magic circle from the tip of the staff to try to resist, but saw the Black Luster Soldier handed out his long sword, and the sword came out like a dragon, twisting the green magic circle into pieces with one blow. Immediately following a flash of sword light, the long sword was lifted up, and the magic staff was also lifted into the air immediately.
As the saying goes "A mage in close combat is the meat on the cutting board". This saying may not be very applicable today, but it is still very appropriate in the current situation.
The Black Luster Soldier's long sword turned again, and boundless sword light swept out again, tearing the mage apart in the blink of an eye, and was blown to pieces under the vertical and horizontal sword energy.
[Mahad, LP 2550 → LP 1650]
"Set two cards, I end my turn." Yuei Vu said.
Mahad took two steps back, stood still, and looked up at Yuei Vu with solemn eyes.
He has realized.
This man…
… was simply unfathomable!
