Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 272 The Second Evil God, Desktop Cleaning Master

Chapter 272 The Second Evil God, the Desktop Cleaning Master (Combined Chapter)

"Entering combat phase."

Kagura pointed at the demon dog on the Pegasus nightclub:

"【The Magician of Chaos】, attack【Cassimoral】!"

"Destruction Curse - Ultimate Death Curse!"

The Chaos Black Magician, whose attack power is doubled, has a whopping 5600 points. If Pegasus Night Walk takes this hit, his health will be completely depleted.

But Pegasus Night clearly has a follow-up: "[Casimoral]'s effect."

"At the start of your opponent's Battle Phase, you can activate this effect by Tributing this Normal Summoned card. This turn, your opponent's monsters cannot attack directly!"

It's clearly not the beginning of the battle yet, but the timeline in anime is inherently ambiguous.

Furthermore, Kagura felt that the demon dog's figure on the opponent's field had become illusory from the start of the battle.

He then discovered that Tianma Yexing had somehow learned Crab Brother's secret technique of silently releasing effects, and had actually quietly removed the card and sent it to the graveyard at the start of the battle phase.

This is also the hardship of playing cards in anime. In the performance, duelists may be deceived by the special effects, not knowing that the demon dog is actually in a spirit state.

However, Kagura quietly observed the reactions of the people around her and found that they did not have any discussions about this operation, such as "Holy crap, he violated the rules."

Instead, he had an expression that said, "Wow, I never thought you could do that."

Kagura: —

This world is truly amazing; its ways of thinking are so strange. It's as if he's opened the door to a new world.

But whatever, since that's what everyone thinks, Kagura can't really say anything.

The duel must continue.

Kagura glanced at the field where Pegasus Night Walk was playing. Apart from a face-down card and a continuous spell, it was empty and she couldn't attack directly.

"I end my battle phase, set two cards face down, and my turn ends."

Two brand-new trap cards were placed face down, and then Tianma Yexing opened his own face-down card:

"Open the face-down card, reveal the Continuous Trap [Divine Grace]. As long as this card is in the Spell & Trap Zone, you recover 500 Life Points every time you draw a card!"

Then he looked at the [Chaos Black Magician] on the Kagura stage with a mocking smile:

"You haven't forgotten the fate of monsters that take the effect of [Cassimoral]!"

"【The Magician of Chaos】Destroy! And inflict half of its original attack damage! That is, 1400 points!"

Dark power corrupted the body of the [Chaos Dark Magician], and with a muffled groan, his body exploded into specks of light.

Kagura crossed her arms to shield herself from the impact.

[Kagura Kiryu, LP4100→LP2700]

[The Dark Magician of Chaos] enters Kagura's graveyard and then immediately pops out.

Kagura drew the card and put it in her pocket: "When [Chaos Dark Magician] leaves the field, banish this card."

Tenma Ye placed his finger on the deck: "My turn, draw!"

The card was drawn, and Pegasus Night Walk pointed to the trap on his field: "Because I drew a card, the effect of [Divine Grace] was triggered, restoring 500 life points!"

[Nighttime Journey, LP1200→LP1700]

Then, without even looking at the card he had drawn, he directly revealed his only card from the previous turn:

"I activate the Spell Card [Monster Recycle], returning all cards on my field and in my hand to the Deck for shuffling, and then draw 5 cards from my Deck. (Original effect)"

Tianma Yexing puts his two stickers and one card from his hand into his deck, shuffles them, and then draws five cards at once.

Kagura: ... 6.

Is it possible to get a replacement card like this?

Having obtained the five cards, Tianma Yexing examined them carefully, a strange smile appearing on his lips.

"It's finally here, the second evil god."

Kagura assumed a ready stance, but Tenma Yagyō did not immediately summon the evil god. Instead, he directly drew four cards and placed them face down.

"I set four cards face down, end of turn."

The turn ended at lightning speed, catching Kagura completely off guard, but Kagura immediately replied:

"Before the end of your turn, I reveal a face-down card: the Continuous Trap [Eternal Soul]."

A stone tablet with ancient fluorescent lines slowly rose from behind him, forming a simple image of the "Black Magician" using minimalist line drawings.

"I activate the effect of [Eternal Soul] to Special Summon 1 [Dark Magician] from my hand and Graveyard!"

"Come forth, Dark Magician of the graveyard!"

The stone slab emitted a faint glow, and the phantom of the [Black Magician] appeared silently, gradually materializing.

[Dark Magician, Attack Power 2500]

"My turn, draw a card!"

Kagura drew a card, glanced at it, and inserted it directly into the Duel Disk:

"Quick-Play Spell, [Whirlwind], destroy one Spell/Trap Card on the field!"

"I'll destroy your second card from the left!"

Placing four traps right off the bat—that's so underhanded; there must be something fishy going on, or some kind of method to help summon evil gods.

Let's eliminate one of them first.

A whirlwind arose, sweeping towards the face-down card chosen by Kagura, but Tenma Yagyō clicked the Duel Disk instead:

"At this very moment, open the face-down card, and unleash the Trap Card [Pandora's Treasure] (original card)!"

"You can only activate one card with this name per turn! When your opponent activates an effect that targets a card in your Spell & Trap Zone, you can transfer that target to this card!"

The whirlwind was immediately redirected, blowing towards [Pandora's Treasure] and destroying it.

Pegasus at Night: "After that, draw two cards from your deck!"

The addition of cards, which also protected the cover card, made things even more suspicious.

Kagura detected a problem, so she continued:

"I activate the effect of [Eternal Soul]. I can choose one of two effects per turn; I choose the second one."

"Add 1 copy of either 'Dark Magician' or 'Thousand Blades' from your deck to your hand!"

Kagura opens her deck and draws a card:

"I'm adding [Dark Magician] to my hand."

Next, he inserted the retrieved card into the Duel Disk:

"Then I immediately activated this card, the Spell Card [Dark Magician]!"

"You can only activate this effect if you control [Dark Magician]! Destroy all Spell & Trap Cards on your opponent's field!"

"Perfect!"

Rei Yosaki gave a NICE gesture: "That way, no matter what tricks or schemes they have up their sleeves, it's useless!"

However, Pegasus Night Walker, already a powerful duelist, became the host of an evil god, and his dueling power advanced to a terrifying level.

So he still has another trick up his sleeve:

"Activate the face card to counter the trap [Magic Interference Array]!"

"When a Spell Card is activated, you can discard 1 card from your hand to activate this effect; negate that activation and destroy it!"

Having just replenished his hand with two more cards, Tianma Yexing naturally had cards to pay for his COST, so he simply discarded one card.

The Dark Magician was already gathering magic power, but now that his special skill has been interrupted, he is naturally very unhappy.

Kagura seemed to be deep in thought; it seemed that those cards were indeed very important to Pegasus Night Parade.

"Then I'll enter the battle phase!"

Kagura waved her hand: "[Dark Magician], attack Pegasus Night Walk directly!"

The Black Magician, with a cold face, channeled his grief and anger into power, intending to pry open Pegasus's skull with his staff.

At this moment, Tenma Yoru suddenly revealed a cold smile: "Heh, you finally fell for their trap, Kagura Kiryu!"

Kagura was startled. What? Could this kid really have some amazing plan?

With a wave of his hand, Tianma Yexingqi flipped open a card at his feet:

"Open the face-down card, the trap card, [Trap in the Dark]!"

"When your Life Points are below 3000, you can pay 1000 Life Points to target 1 Normal Trap Card in your Graveyard other than this card's name to activate this effect."

"This card's effect becomes the same as that Normal Trap Card in the Graveyard! After that, that Trap Card in the Graveyard is banished!"

Tianma Yexing laughed heartily: "I'll pay 1000 life points to copy the card—."

"[Explosive Armor]!"

Kagura Kiryu: —

【A Trap in the Dark】isn't this just a copy of that?

For a moment, Kagura felt utterly ridiculous for having just struggled with thin air.

Imagine a future world war where one side has deployed its planet-destroying cannons, while the other side pulls out a wooden stick.

After being on guard for a long time, thinking it was some kind of powerful weapon, I repeatedly tested it and confirmed that it really was just a wooden stick.

It has a kind of subtle feeling, like the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

[Nighttime Journey, LP1700→LP700]

The traps that were exposed on the field immediately transformed into the appearance of [Explosive Armor].

"The effect of [Explosive Armor] is to destroy the monster when it attacks it!"

Pegasus shouted in the night, "I will destroy the Magician on the field!"

A moment later, nothing happened with the Dark Magician, and the card remained undamaged until its effects were fully resolved.

Why?

Tenma Yagyō looked completely bewildered, while Kagura sighed:

"I forgot to tell you, this is the effect of [Eternal Soul]. As long as this card is on the field, [Dark Magician] is unaffected by any of your opponent's effects."

Tianma Yexing: —

Seeing that the Dark Magician was about to kill him with a single blow from his staff, Pegasus Nightwalker quickly revealed his last face-down card:

"Open the cover card, [Enemy Attack Alarm]!"

"You can activate this effect when your opponent declares an attack; Special Summon 1 monster from your hand! As long as the monster Special Summoned by this effect is face-up on your field, your opponent cannot target other monsters for attacks!"

"However, the monster Special Summoned by this effect returns to its owner's hand at the end of the Battle Phase!"

Tianma Yexing held up the card in his hand:

"Hahahaha, descend! Second evil god!"

"【Evil God. The Annihilator】!"

A rift tore open in the sky, and a huge, ugly, and ferocious dragon head emerged from it, followed by a slender body behind it.

This evil god is clearly modeled after the Sky Dragon of Osiris, with its two dragon claws displaying a bronze-like color, and its dragon body resembling the lower half of Medusa.

It flapped its demonic wings behind it, its lifeless eyes seeming to be sizing up some kind of prey, and illusory hellfire began to burn beneath it, accompanied by a background of lightning and thunder, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

[Evil God. Annihilator, Level 10, God Attribute, Evil God Beast Race, Attack Power: ?, Effect Monster.]

"A second evil god!?"

Everyone exclaimed in shock, "Wasn't it said that the evil god was unaffected by trap cards?"

Kagura isn't entirely sure about this either. One theory is that when this card is in your hand, it's still a card, and the trap card only affects the card, not the god, so its resistance hasn't taken effect yet.

Kagura didn't know how Pegasus Night Walk managed to do it, but when it was summoned to the field, the evil god's resistance definitely took effect.

Therefore, the effect of returning the [Enemy Attack Alert] card to the hand naturally does not affect the evil god.

Kagura always felt like she was being lied to.

Tianma Yexing shouted: "The attack and defense of [Evil God. Annihilator] are equal to the number of cards on the opponent's field x 100!"

0!

"You have four cards on the field, so [Evil God: Annihilator]'s attack is 4000!"

[Evil God. Annihilator, Attack Power 0 → Attack Power 4000]

"Attack power 4000!"

This was undoubtedly much higher than the [Black Magician] level, Kagura sighed.

"Since the number of monsters on the opponent's field has changed, triggering an attack rollback, I will not attack."

Kagura glanced at her hand and couldn't help but click her tongue.

This is really a difficult problem for me. Doesn't this mean that no operation is useful?

If I remember correctly, the original effect of [Evil God. Annihilator] is exactly the same as its name.

"Round over."

As Kagura's declaration round ended, Tenma Yagyō revealed a cold smile:

"Hehehe, like the evil god and the three Egyptian Gods, they must return to the graveyard at the end of the turn they are Special Summoned."

"However, at that very moment, the effect of [Evil God. Annihilator] was triggered!"

"When this card is sent to the Graveyard, send all cards on the field to the Graveyard!"

"Absolutely annihilate them!"

The power of the evil god spread throughout the entire field, sending the [Closed Forest] from the Pegasus Night Parade field and the [Magician's Wand] and [Eternal Soul] from the Kagura field, along with a face-down card, to the Graveyard.

This effect is much more powerful than the physical card. The physical card's effect can only be triggered when it is destroyed, and it only destroys all the cards on the field.

In the original version, the Obliterator could trigger a graveyard effect for the entire field, and even had the ability to send itself to the graveyard.

They're not even in the same league.

Kagura's [Dark Magician] was protected from the effects of the opponent's [Eternal Soul] during effect resolution and was not affected.

But this monster was clearly not spared either, as the [Eternal Soul] was also sent to the graveyard.

This card is also jokingly referred to by players as a coffin board because of its side effects.

Kagura: "The side effect of [Eternal Soul]: If this face-up card leaves the field, this effect is activated and all monsters on your field are destroyed."

Bang! The Dark Magician couldn't be saved either, and the field was immediately empty for both sides.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"The Duel King's arena was emptied?! In an instant?"

They even doubted whether they were dreaming. How could there be such an overpowered card in the world?

"Is this the evil god?"

A cold sweat silently seeped out from Dartz's back: "Ha, what an exaggerated effect. No wonder he dares to claim that he has surpassed the Three Phantom Gods."

Although both sides were cleared out, anyone with eyes could see that the next round would be a clash of titans.

Therefore, Kagura's choice to face Pegasus Night Walk in an empty arena would undoubtedly be fatal in a high-level duel.
