The Chapter get Retranslated
"Then, it's my turn, draw!" You Xuan said. "I activate the Spell Card 'Trade-In'! By discarding a Level 8 monster from my hand, I draw two cards from my Deck."
You Xuan revealed a card in his hand.
"The card I'm discarding is this Level 8 'Black Luster Soldier'."
It wasn't Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, but the original Ritual Monster version of Black Luster Soldier that first appeared in Yugi Muto's hands.
You Xuan naturally didn't have this card before; he obtained it from the Black Luster Soldier research team at KaibaCorp headquarters this trip.
Pegasus's eyelid twitched.
"The legendary warrior?"
However, he also knew that ever since the development of Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, it had been regarded as an evolved form of Black Luster Soldier. The ancient vanilla Ritual Monster's collection value now far surpassed its utility. What could this card possibly do now?
"Discard 'Black Luster Soldier' and draw cards from the Deck."
You Xuan drew his cards, then leisurely said,
"Mr. Pegasus, I've felt your passion as a Duelist, and I thank you for granting me the honor of being the first Duelist to face the new form of the Beast King.
As a return gift,"
He slowly drew a card from his hand.
"I will now unveil a new form of Black Luster Soldier that no one has ever seen before."
The entire audience was startled by this.
A brand-new form of Black Luster Soldier?
Some quick-witted card professors immediately shifted their gaze to Mokuba beside them.
They had heard that KaibaCorp's top research team had been conducting relevant research.
Could they have actually achieved new results?
Mokuba quickly understood: "Are you going to try 'that' here?"
"Yes, I promised the team leader I would test it in a real battle as soon as possible and provide him with the data," You Xuan said. "There's no more suitable Duel than this, and no more suitable opponent.
I activate the Spell Card 'Reinforcement of the Army'! I add a Warrior-Type monster with 4 or less Stars from my Deck to my hand.
I add this card from my Deck to my hand—"
He drew a card automatically searched from his Deck.
"A Level 4 Warrior-Type, 'Beginning Knight'."
Pegasus held his breath, saying nothing.
It was just a 4-Star Warrior, but it gave him an ominous feeling.
"Then, I activate the Ritual Spell 'Super Soldier Synthesis'!"
You Xuan raised the Spell Card in his hand.
"This card allows me to Ritual Summon 'Black Luster Soldier' from my hand or Graveyard by sending a LIGHT or DARK Attribute monster from my hand to the Graveyard, then sending a monster of the opposite Attribute (LIGHT or DARK) from my Deck to the Graveyard as Ritual Material!"
At this description, everyone was greatly surprised.
Choosing materials from the Deck?
And it can even Ritual Summon monsters from the Graveyard?
"I use the LIGHT Attribute 'Beginning Knight' I just searched from my hand, and the DARK Attribute monster 'Twilight Knight' from my Deck, as Ritual Materials, to Ritual Summon!"
One of Light and one of Dark, one black and one white, the two young knights transformed into swirling currents of energy, merging as if pouring into a galaxy's vortex.
"One soul guides the light, one soul guides the darkness, the gate of chaos opens here—"
A chaotic storm erupted, sword light cleaving through heaven and earth. A pillar of light descended from the sky, and endless particles manifested the knight's form within the storm. The blade cleaved through the light curtain, the knight's armor reflecting starlight.
"—Black Luster Soldier, Summon!"
[Black Luster Soldier, ATK 3000]
An overwhelming pressure, even stronger than Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, made Pegasus momentarily recall the gods' descent in the past, whipping up a towering storm within the Duel Arena.
It was as if the moment this Black Luster Soldier appeared, the battlefield became his domain!
"But even so, Black Luster Soldier's ATK is only comparable to Beast King Barbaros," Pegasus said. "And he doesn't possess any special abilities that could surpass Beast King."
Because, as everyone knew, Black Luster Soldier was a vanilla monster, with no special effects.
Though he said this, Pegasus knew that deep down, he held a faint expectation.
He felt as though he could sense something different about this Black Luster Soldier.
"Black Luster Soldier, activate effect!" You Xuan waved his hand. "Once per turn, I can banish one monster on your field!"
"Nani!?"
Pegasus was shocked.
His expression was as if to say, "Are you trying to trick me because I don't know many cards? Isn't that thing of yours a vanilla monster?"
Or did it mean that even if it wasn't written on the card, it could still be used that way?
"Beginning Dimensional Slash!"
Immediately after, everyone saw Black Luster Soldier's sword light cleave, a powerful sword aura ripping open space. The massive Beast King Barbaros was irresistibly sucked into the dimensional rift of the slash.
Pegasus: "!"
Why was this happening?
But he was indeed a master of Industrial Illusions, and immediately guessed the key: "Those two Ritual Materials just now—"
He had a feeling just now; those two young swordsmen looked exactly like younger versions of Black Luster Soldier. There had to be something tricky about them.
"That's right," You Xuan smiled. "The effect of 'Beginning Knight'. A 'Black Luster Soldier' Ritual Summoned using this card as material gains additional effects.
One of them is 'Beginning Dimensional Slash', which allows me to banish one monster on your opponent's field once per turn."
"I see, it grants Black Luster Soldier the same type of ability as 'Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning'."
Pegasus smiled slightly.
"But even so, you haven't forgotten, have you?" Pegasus reminded him. "The card I took from your hand last turn with 'Card Exchange'."
You Xuan nodded: "'Kiteroid', when you take direct damage, you can discard it to the Graveyard to make the battle damage 0. While it is in the Graveyard, you can make one instance of direct attack damage 0 again."
"Correct," Pegasus chuckled. "How will you overcome this obstacle of your own making?"
You Xuan smiled.
"Black Luster Soldier, activate another effect."
Pegasus was shocked.
Your vanilla monster has a second effect?
He immediately reacted.
"The other card used as Ritual Material just now—"
"Indeed, 'Twilight Knight' also grants 'Black Luster Soldier' an additional effect when used as Ritual Material," You Xuan said. "Once per turn, I can randomly choose one card in your opponent's hand, and banish it until the End Phase of your next turn!"
Pegasus: "!"
Such a powerful ability!
"You only have one card left in your hand, and that is 'Kiteroid'," You Xuan said. "Therefore, I banish 'Kiteroid'!
Twilight Dimensional Slash!"
The sword qi of light and darkness slashed out again, but this time targeting a card in the hand! As the sword light swept past, the Kiteroid in Pegasus's hand evaporated into thin air, disappearing to the other side of the dimension.
"Battle."
You Xuan commanded.
"Black Luster Soldier, direct attack on Mr. Pegasus!"
Black Luster Soldier soared up, its light and dark blades cleaving out, transforming into a myriad of sword shadows filling the sky, rushing forward like ten thousand swords returning to their source.
Pegasus J. Crawford looked up, gazing at the shining knight and the magnificent, sky-filling sword shadows, momentarily entranced.
"This is Black Luster Soldier's new evolution..."
