Ameluda said unhappily.
"And at the end of the turn, the effect of the Magic Sky Fortress activates, Special Summoning the 'Robot Derivative' on the field."
[Robot Derivative, Defense Power 0]
"Now, it's my turn, draw."
Yugen drew his card, paused slightly, and looked up at the gigantic Magic Sky Fortress in the sky.
"Jiglat is indeed a remarkable monster. As a token of gratitude for Ameluda-san showing me this level of monster, I must exhibit some real skill..."
Ameluda focused.
Does that mean he's finally going to reveal a decent trump card?
"I activate the Magic Card 'Super Warrior's Bud'." Yugen said, "Until the total level becomes eight-star, I send Light and Dark attribute monsters from my hand and deck to the graveyard to Ritual Summon the 'Chaos Warrior' monster!"
"As expected," Ameluda squinted, "I've heard from the collected duel intelligence about the Chaos Warrior's strongest form developed through your collaboration with the Kaiba Group, possessing both pioneering and dark powers.
If you summon that guy, it'll be troublesome...
He sneered with a stern look.
"But, will it be that easy?
Activate Cover Card, Counter Trap - Bribe of the Demon Palace! It negates and destroys the activation of a Magic or Trap, and the opponent can draw one card from the deck."
The activation of Super Warrior's Bud was negated, and the Chaos storm halted abruptly.
"Ah!" Keihei lamented, "The Chaos Warrior's summoning failed..."
"Then, the Ritual Magic 'Super Warrior Ceremony' discarded during 'Handwriting Destruction' last turn's effect activates!" Yugen said.
This was another aspect of Ameluda's knowledge gap: "Activating Ritual Magic from the graveyard!?"
Selecting Ritual materials from the deck, Ritual Summoning Ritual Monsters from the graveyard... Now, there's even Ritual Magic that can be activated from the graveyard?
Has Chaos Warrior's frontier research developed so many flamboyant Ritual components?
"Super Warrior Ceremony, banishing this card in the graveyard, along with one Light and one Dark attribute monster from the game, can Special Summon the 'Chaos Warrior' Ritual Monster in the hand, ignoring its summoning conditions."
Yugen drew two cards that had exited from the graveyard.
"Banish the Light attribute 'Magic-guided Grocer' and Dark attribute 'Artificial Human - Telekinesis Returner' from the game!
One soul guides the light, one soul guides the darkness, the gate of chaos opens here—
—Chaos Warrior, Summon!"
The souls of light and darkness spun and merged into the vortex, sword light cleaved through chaos, and the legendary warrior descended!
[Chaos Warrior, Attack Power 3000]
"It's still not that easy," Ameluda said with a stern voice, "Counter Trap - Divine Declaration!"
Yugen's eyelids twitched.
The Old Sage is even used, huh.
"Pay half of your Life Points to negate and destroy the activation of a Magic or Trap, or the summoning of a monster!"
[Ameluda, LP 1600→LP 800]
"Negate the activation of 'Super Warrior Ceremony'! Hence, the summoning of Chaos Warrior is also negated!" Ameluda smiled, "The Chaos Warrior is better off staying quietly in your hand."
Holy radiance descended, the phantom of the Old Sage appeared on the field, sternly reaching out a hand as if to say, "No can do."
Thus, the image of Chaos Warrior hadn't fully materialized before disappearing without landing.
"Even this got stopped, impressive..."
Yugen smiled slightly, then drew the two cards that returned from the graveyard again.
"Then, once again, banish these two cards from the graveyard... the Light attribute 'Angel O7', and the Dark attribute 'Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator' from the game!"
Ameluda: "!"
Here it comes again?
"The souls of light and darkness sacrifice to the Chaos Field, summoning the legendary warrior to descend again!"
Yugen raised his arm.
"Creation of Heaven and Earth!
Level eight, Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation, Summon!"
The souls of light and darkness were sacrificed again, the Chaos storm rose once more. The blade of light and darkness cleaved the void, and the Chaos Warrior descended as if from the ends of the starry sky!
[Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation, Attack Power 3000]
Did not expect, the master reappeared in a new guise!
"Uh," Ameluda said with a stern voice, "Even so, the descent of Chaos Warrior couldn't be stopped..."
But he soon said as well, "However, the Messenger of Creation can either choose the effect of continuous attack or the effect of banishing a monster.
With the Magic Sky Fortress and the Derivative serving as a shield on the field, it's impossible for the Messenger of Creation to break through in this turn..."
Yugen slightly smiled and revealed another card in his hand.
"The Magic Card 'Seed of Origin'. It can only be activated when 'Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation' is on the field, allowing you to add two cards banished from the game back to your hand."
Ameluda's heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.
The exclusive magic of the Messenger of Creation...
Recover cards banished from the game?
Masaka (Could it be)...
"I retrieve these two cards banished from the game."
Yugen revealed two cards.
"Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, and... Lava Demon God, return to the hand."
Ameluda instantly wore a mask of pain.
Ahhhh!
As expected!
This guy again!
He immediately realized what was going to happen next.
But realizing it, so what?
There was nothing more he could do.
He was like a puppet whose strings were seen clearly, helplessly being swept into the abyss of despair in the torrent of this duel...
"I didn't perform a Normal Summon this turn." Yugen smiled, "Therefore, I will use Ameluda-san's Tamashi 'Magic Sky Fortress Jiglat', and 'Robot Derivative' as sacrifices to Special Summon this powerful monster on your field.
Once again, rising from the abyss, the power of destruction and rebirth—
—Level eight, Lava Demon God!"
The invincible Magic Sky Fortress with the Derivative as a shield is unaffected by any Magic Trap effects. Yet, in front of the even more invincible Lava Demon God, it was as powerless as a little lamb.
Once again devoured in an instant, the Lava Demon God jumped out on Ameluda's field, showing a foolish smile towards him again.
Third time's the charm.
Hello, goodbye.
After eating his fill and saying farewell, the Lava Demon God patted its backside and returned to Yugen's field.
[Lava Demon God, Attack Power 3000]
"Of course, the Continuous Trap 'Mind Control Removal' is still on the field." Yugen explained, "So after the Lava Demon God is summoned successfully, it will immediately return to its original owner, which is my field."
Ameluda: "......"
"Then, Lava Demon God," Yugen said politely, "directly attack Ameluda-san."
The Lava Demon God let out a roar.
Wandering Profound Flame!
In his last moment before being engulfed by the iron fool's flames, Ameluda looked to the sky, a hint of doubt rising in his eyes.
He previously said to Yugen that there was no need to worry, it was just a friendly spar, not a Dark Duel, no pressure.
But now he suddenly felt a bit self-doubt.
Is it really not a Dark Duel?
Then why does this card game feel a bit painful...
[Ameluda, LP 800→LP 0]
