The High Priest of Darkness who took a black magic attack with his body took a few breaths, then quickly adjusted and stood up again.
This level of pain is nothing compared to what I've sacrificed over the years!
I must put Seto on the throne no matter what!
Even if I have to kill all the current priests, I won't hesitate!
"My turn!"
The High Priest of Darkness flicked his sleeves, and the skin of the hand protruding from under his robe had turned black, and the nails on his five fingers were as sharp as daggers. At the same time, another stone slab fell in front of him.
"Use the spell 'Card Destruction' to replace all the stone slabs on both sides!"
Card Destruction (Spell Card): Both players discard as many cards as possible from their hands, and then each player draws the same number of cards they discarded.
The stone slabs turned into golden light spots and disappeared in front of the High Priest of Darkness, and were quickly replaced by three new stone slabs.
He quickly clicked on one of the stone slabs. The stone slab flipped over, moved forward two inches clumsily, and landed in the S/T area.
"Activate Spell 'Card of Safe Return'!"
Card of Safe Return (Continuous Spell): when a monster is resurrected in the graveyard of both players, you will draw three cards. (anime effect)
"Then the special ability of the monster 'Mezuki' sleeping in the cemetery will be activated! It can banish itself and wake up the undead!"
Mezuki: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 Zombie monster in your GY; Special Summon that target.
"Regenerate, undead monster!" The High Priest of Darkness raised his zombie-like arm, "Shadow Ghoul!"
Green claws protruded from the black whirlpool, and the twisted monster swayed out and crawled out. What appeared to be red eyes were densely scattered all over the body, making one's scalp numb.
[Shadow Ghoul, ATK 1600]
According to the effect of the "Card of Safe Return", three stone slabs fell in front of the High Priest of Darkness at the same time.
"The spell 'Silent Doom'!" Reciting the spell again, the high priest formed a seal with his twisted and deformed hands, "Resurrect the sleeping monsters in the cemetery again!"
Silent Doom (Spell Card): Target 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon it in face-up Defense Position, but it cannot attack.
"Dark Assailant, resurrect!"
What came onto the field was a skeletal head wearing green armor, holding a dark kunai between his fingers.
[Dark Assailant, DEF 1200]
This action once again triggered the "Card of Safe Return" effect, bringing three new usable slabs.
"In this way, the preparations are complete." The High Priest of Darkness smiled coldly, "Pharaoh, Mahad… you are more difficult to deal with than I expected.
But you have no idea what I saw! That deepest darkness, the demon that awakened from the darkness where the seven Millennium Items were born, is so powerful that you simply cannot imagine it! "
Are you talking about Bakura? Yugi thought to himself.
"Look, this is the power of the devil given to me by that existence!" The High Priest of Darkness raised his voice, "The Shadow Ghoul and the Dark Assailant, the souls of the two undead will be sacrificed, calling for the immortal King——
——Doomking Balerdroch, come! ! ! "
The sudden burst of darkness swallowed up the two monsters like a gushing volcano. The two undead monsters screamed, their bodies were shattered in the dark torrent, and their souls turned into two beams of light and shot into the deep black vortex.
The dark energy swirled up into the air, ferocious monsters rose from the ground, scarlet flashes illuminated the gloomy space, and the roar of the Undead King seemed to destroy the entire secret room!
[Doomking Balerdroch, ATK 2800]
Yugi's expression became serious: "Isn't it Bakura's monster?"
The High Priest of Darkness waved his hand, and his broad sleeves swept past.
"The undead monster in the cemetery 'Necroworld Banshee' has activated its special ability!"
The stone slab flew out from the dark vortex of the cemetery, and what was projected from it was a beautiful but pale-skinned zombie girl, with long pointed ears like an elf and a head of loose white hair.
"Exile the Necroworld Banshee that exists on my field or in the cemetery, and call for the arrival of the undead world!" The High Priest of Darkness raised his arms, "Come on, Zombie World!"
Necroworld Banshee: You can banish this card from your field or GY; activate 1 "Zombie World" directly from your hand or Deck. This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn.
The dark mist descended, and all life was drained away in an instant. The undead are lingering, the souls of injustice are wandering, countless undead are haunting the surrounding darkness, and countless pairs of cold eyes are watching this duel.
"And at this moment, the ability of the 'Doomking Balerdroch' is also triggered!" The High Priest of Darkness shouted, "Except for itself, when other undead abilities are activated, it can destroy any servant on the field or in the graveyard, then banish them from this game!"
Doomking Balerdroch: Once per turn, when a Zombie monster, except "Doomking Balerdroch", activates its effect, banish 1 monster from the field or GY.
"After all, you're just a soul that didn't stay die."
The High Priest of Darkness shouted coldly and pointed his finger as if he had locked onto the majestic black-robed mage with an irresistible command.
"Disappear for me, Mahad!"
The brilliance of the ruby shines, and a strange light breaks through the sky! The Dark Magician sealed his wand in front of his chest and faced the mighty stream of light with no fear on his face.
"Open the set card!" Yugi shouted, raising his voice, "Continuous Trap 'Eternal Soul'!"
The trap flipped, and the magic power erupted in it like burning black flames! The dark flames seemed to be intertwined into a huge magic circle, and the dark stone slabs stood up from the ground as if they were standing tall against the sky. The image of the magician was clearly engraved on the stone slab as if silently telling a story to future generations.
A monument.
The inscription flashed with light blue light, and the stone slab shimmered. The magic power surged, the Dark Magician's staff swiped, and several magic circles disappeared in an instant, and the magic power inspired was like being ordered by an irresistible command!
The attack of the Undead King was shattered the moment it hit the magic circle, and the red light was bounced around by the overbearing power of black magic.
"How is that possible!?" The High Priest of Darkness was stunned again.
"'Eternal Soul' is the Dark Magician's exclusive trap, which can unlock the Dark Magician's further power." Yugi said solemnly, "As long as this card exists, the 'Dark Magician' on my field is unaffected by the opponent's card effects!"
The High Priest of Darkness was shocked and angry.
"Mahad…Although I have known for a long time that you have sealed your strength, are you actually so strong?"
Unaffected by any spells, traps, or special abilities of monsters… Judging from this magic immunity alone, even gods could not compare to it!
The Dark Magician crossed his arms and said calmly: "I said that I will become the Pharaoh's sword and remove any obstacles for him, no matter who is standing in front of him."
"Don't get carried away, Mahad!" The High Priest of Darkness said solemnly, "No matter how superb your spells are, you are still no match for the Undead King in terms of combat prowess.
Come on, Doomking Balerdroch! Tear him to pieces! "
The Undead King seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. After receiving the order, he shouted loudly and immediately began to prepare for the second round of offensive.
The High Priest of Darkness was right. Even with endless weird magics and invincible spell resistance, the Dark Magician's own attack power was only 2500 after all, which was a big shortcoming.
Doomking Balerdroch's domineering torrent of destruction was unleashed, and the Dark Magician's defensive array only lasted for a moment before bursting. He groaned, and his whole body was swallowed up by the torrent of death energy and turned into ashes in an instant.
[Yami Yugi, LP 3000 → LP 2700]
"Hahahaha, goodbye to Mahad!" The High Priest of Darkness laughed heartily.
Yami Yugi was expressionless and said coldly: "The subsequent effects of the Continuous Trap 'Eternal Soul'."
"!?"
The High Priest of Darkness's laughter stopped abruptly.
What? Does this thing have another effect?
"Once per turn, I can special summon 1 'Dark Magician' from my hand or graveyard." Yugi said, "Dark Magician, resurrect!"
The lines engraved on the monument were lit up one by one, clearly outlining the outline of the magician. The magic circle then opened, and a torrent of magic power surged. The black-robed mage crossed his arms and rushed straight out. The staff spun half a circle in mid-air and accurately fell back into his hand.
The High Priest of Darkness gradually lost control of his emotions: "Mahad! Why don't you just die obediently!?"
"I said it." The Dark Magician said coldly, "I will guard Pharaoh's side forever, no matter how many times I fall, I will stand up again!"
"Then at this moment, the effect of the Continuous Spell 'Dark Magical Circle' is also triggered. Once per turn, when 'Dark Magician' is Normal or Special Summoned to my field, a card on the opponent's field will be banished."
With a wave of his hand, Yami Yugi pointed directly at the ferocious and arrogant undead king,
"Disappear under the power of black magic, Doomking Balerdroch!"
High Priest of Darkness: "!!!"
