Chapter 55 - Chapter 53: Silent Double Strike

"Attack power is actually 3500!?"

The Masked Sorcerer exclaimed.

Back when the curator revealed the Silent Magician, he mysteriously mentioned the LV series, naturally Silent Magician LV4 and LV8 are included. It's just that Yugen didn't really use them before.

"Tch, so that's it, the power of this elf... is actually stronger than my strongest form, the Death Guardian Master. Is this your ace card?" The Curse Master snorted.

But there's still a chance.

He glanced at the last card he held in his hand.

[Trap Card - Support Fire.

Effect: When the opponent's monster attacks your own monster, the attacked monster's attack power increases by the attack power value of another face-up monster on your field.]

The Curse Master remained calm, covering this last card in his hand.

"I set a card, turn over."

In the next turn, the opponent will undoubtedly attack with the Silent Magician. At that moment, activate Support Fire, adding the Holy Night Dragon's attack power to the Masked Demon Beast, the Masked Demon Beast's attack power can instantly rise to 6600.

The Silent Magician's attack will be countered, inflicting a massive 3100 damage to the opponent instantly. And at this point, the opponent's life points are like a candle in the wind, remaining at just 2700 points, a single blow will determine the victory!

This is his reversal move.

In this duel, he, the Masked Sorcerer, will win.

His heart already coldly laughing with satisfaction, but the icy mask covered his expression.

"My turn, draw a card."

Yugen drew a card, then calmly drew out a card from his hand and took off the "Deceitful Mage" on his Duel Disc.

"I will use 'Deceitful Mage' as a tribute..."

"Hmm?" The Curse Master frowned under his mask.

Going for an upper-level summon?

But a single tribute can only summon monsters of level five to six. And right now, all the monsters standing on the field, from both sides, are heavy hitters with over 3000 attack points, any low-level weakling couldn't possibly intervene in this situation...

...Nani!?

As he sees the Deceitful Mage transforming into light dots and dissipating, followed by the mechanical body emerging from the circle of sacrifice, electric currents flowing, and red mechanical eyes, the Curse Master's eyes bulged straight away.

Artificial Human Soga!?

[Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, Attack Power 2400]

"It's actually a trap lock... Ugh..."

The Curse Master's expression under his mask twisted instantly, looking toward his own back row, clenching his teeth.

An absolute trap breaker, even in the Elf Realm it's a well-known red pit killer. The appearance of this monster immediately changed the situation, turning his reversal trap into a piece of waste paper.

"How could this be... Did you see through my tactics?!" The Curse Master exclaimed in shock.

"Who knows." Yugen shrugged.

If it were his previous life, he would have just laughed, indicating that no, buddy, it's just your bad luck, I just happened to draw this.

But this is the world of Yu-Gi-Oh.

Of course, it's not that he intentionally aimed for the "Artificial Human Soga" card. Calling whatever comes is the skill of the King, ordinary duelists can't do it.

However, before drawing a card, he did pay extra attention to his opponent's back row, and for a moment birthed the thought "could get a wind?".

Then, even though he didn't draw wind, this showed up.

Although it seems like there's still a gap from the echelon of mixing various axis within a card deck, and various 502-style small combos, but with the help of the elves' strength, the duel's trajectory can be influenced to a certain subtle extent.

Of course, this is metaphysics, not necessarily effective, and it's related to the opponent, which is said as "Destiny Power".

"Next, from the hand, I activate the Magic Card 'Original Force'." Yugen continued, "Choose two face-up monsters on the field. Until the end of the turn phase, one chosen monster's attack power is halved, while the other's attack power is increased by that value.

I choose to reduce your 'Masked Demon Beast - Death Guardian Master''s attack power by half, and increase that value on the 'Silent Magician'."

[Masked Demon Beast - Death Guardian Master, Attack Power 3300 → Attack Power 1650]

[Silent Magician LV8, Attack Power 3500 → Attack Power 5150]

"Attack power... 5150!?"

The goblin lackeys are scared so much they've gone weak at the knees.

This is not a virtual projection of the real world, but a battle between truly existing entities, elves. Every point of force on the elves' bodies is genuine, faced with the current Silent Magician LV8, even the wave movements spread from her inadvertently radiating magic power's repercussions make these lower-level goblins scared out of their wits.

"And it's not over, then it's the Magic Card 'Diffusing Fluctuation'." Yugen flicked his hand, "When the opponent has monsters on the field, pay 1000 life points, pick a level seven or above Mage Race monster on your field.

This turn, only the selected monster must as much as possible make an attack on all monsters existing on the opponent's field once."

Mage Race special card, one of Dark Game Atum's favorite slashing finishes, in Duel City, it was this card that annihilated the President's Blue-Eyes family combo, completing the decisive blow.

[Yugen, LP 2700 → LP 1700]

Masked Sorcerer: "!?"

Over 5000 attack power yet with AOE?

The goblins turned even more, those with bad moods turned white, and the smarter ones had already turned to prepare and run...

"Battle."

Directly announcing entering the battle phase, Yugen swept his hand first locking on the actual body of the Curse Master, on his so-called strongest evolved posture.

"Silent Magician LV8, attack 'Masked Demon Beast - Death Guardian Master'."

The Silent Magician soared into the sky, spinning, the flowing white light condensed into a vortex at the tip of the magic staff, like a column of white waves. The demon's chest was penetrated with a roaring boom, uttering a sharp wail, and then blasting into golden light fragments.

"Aaah!"

Seemingly related to his own counterpart on the field, the Masked Sorcerer suffered this hit and let out a tragic scream, the magic power's residue shook his whole body spinning backward, even the mask on his face cracked open.

[Masked Sorcerer, LP 4000 → LP 500]

But he couldn't be bothered with the intense pain, as his whole body spun in the magic storm while suddenly bursting into laughter.

"Gotcha, brat, this is my actual counter move!

'Masked Demon Beast - Death Guardian Master' when destroyed, the hidden effect activates! Equip the Magic Card 'Mask of Last Words' from your deck to a monster on opponent's field!"

A ray of golden light flew out from the deck, transformed into a hideous mask rushing toward the Silent Magician's face!

"'Mask of Last Words' can only reach its true purpose when equipped through the effect of 'Masked Demon Beast - Death Guardian Master'!"

The Curse Master yelled grimly in mid-air.

"As the last words of the Death Guardian Master, I can gain control of the equipped monster! So come, your Silent Magician will belong to me..."

"Kida."

Yugen's words fell. That hideous mask didn't even reach the Silent Magician's face, and as it crashed into a layer of white magic array it was smashed into fragments with a snap.

"Nani!?" The Curse Master screamed.

"'Diffusion Fluctuation's other effect, selected Mage's battle destroyed monster effect cannot activate... But before this, LV8 Silent Magician herself possesses the highest rank resistance against any magic, she is impervious to any magic card effects from an opponent."

"How... could this be?" The Curse Master's face beneath the mask twisted.

Could it be that this guy, this human's duel... completely surpasses me!?

The Curse Master watched that infinitely grand White Robe Elf, feeling the surging magic storm, at this moment feeling as if his consciousness was swallowed by immense fear.

"'Mask of Last Words' is invalid to Silent Magician, battle continues.

Silent Magician LV8's attack, second shot, attack 'Holy Night Dragon'——

——Silent Magic Burst!"

The magnificent White Robe Mage stepped onto the magic array, drifting elegantly, magic staff once again waved down, surging white light blasted forth, demolishing the Holy Night Dragon along with the swirling Masked Sorcerer in the storm, the prolonged scream was cut short.

[Masked Sorcerer, LP 500→LP 0]
