[Dark Game, LP2100 → LP6100]
The god's furious attack was completely absorbed as energy, allowing King to escape being instantly killed by the god.
He looked at Seto Kaiba with some concern, only to see that the president was indeed capable, and also had a way to deal with the situation.
"Activate the effect of [Damage Reduction] in your Graveyard and banish this card!"
Kaiba, the company president, swiped a card that popped out of his graveyard: "This turn, the effect damage I receive is halved!"
"Following this chain effect, I open the face-down card, a continuous trap, [Goddess's Blessing]!"
"Recover 3000 base points. When this card leaves the field, you gain 3000 base points."
harm!"
This card's effect is similar to borrowing lives; once you leave the field, the borrowed lives are immediately cleared, which is quite interesting.
Moreover, the goddess on this card is the "Goddess of Reversal," which was one of the monsters Kaiba used to throw at others.
Seto Kaiba, LP500→LP3500
The terrifying destructive force struck President Kaiba's body, but this ruthless man, who had survived jumping from a plane at a great height, quickly staggered to his feet.
Seto Kaiba, LP3500→LP1500
"Heh, is it blocked?"
Kagura wasn't too surprised and waved her hand again: "Can you stop them a second time?"
"I'm freeing my two [Sheep Tokens] on the field again! Activate the effect of [Obelisk the Tormentor]!"
"Destroy all monsters on your opponent's field and inflict 4000 damage!"
"Holy Hand. Critical Strike!"
The Colossus once again grabbed the two lambs and crushed them with a snap. Terrifying power surged into his body again, and the moves belonging to the God of Destruction were brewing once more.
The onlookers turned pale: "What? This effect doesn't only occur once per round?"
Kagura is incredibly powerful right now. She has summoned four gods in this duel, and all the damage from the monster battles is absorbed by that big eye. She also recovers a large amount of health every turn.
Each god requires a great deal of resources and skill to solve, and if there is even the slightest mistake, they will be instantly killed, just like Jonouchi before.
The god's wrath struck swiftly, and Wang Yang let out a painful groan, kneeling on one knee.
[Dark Game, LP6100 → LP2100]
But he didn't have time to worry about himself; his eyes widened in panic as he looked to his side: "Seahorse!"
President Kaiba's forehead was beaded with cold sweat when he suddenly unleashed astonishing potential: "Open the face-down card, a trap card!"
Thunderclap!
"You can discard 1 card from your hand, then target 1 card on the field; destroy that card!"
"I choose your Continuous Trap, [Dimensional Guardian]!"
Kaiba's president sent a card from his hand to the graveyard, and Kaiba Keihei couldn't help but shout, "But this card won't let you survive this turn!"
But President Kaiba clearly didn't think that way. He gave a cold, almost clenched laugh: "Heh, my target isn't that [Dimensional Guardian] card at all, but—"
"That card I just discarded as a cost!"
Kaiba, the company president, shouted, "The card I just discarded was [Skullface Ladybug]!"
"When this card is sent to the Graveyard, I recover 1000 Life Points!"
Seto Kaiba, LP1500→LP2500
"Then, based on the [Damage Reduction] effect, the damage dealt this turn is halved!"
Seto Kaiba, LP2500→LP500
Looking at President Kaiba, who was panting heavily but remained remarkably steadfast, Kagura couldn't help but feel immense admiration.
Well, you still need to do something, President Kaiba.
Kaiba Keihei exclaimed in surprise, "Brother! That's amazing!"
He actually came up with this roundabout way to survive; no wonder he's the older brother!
But Kagura gave a cold snort: "What a tenacious life. Obelisk the Tormentor cannot fight during the turn this effect is activated."
"But that doesn't mean you'll survive this round, Seto Kaiba."
The president of Kaiba Corporation had veins bulging on his forehead: "What do you mean?"
Kagura pointed to his field, and President Kaiba looked in the same direction, only to see a large eye embedded in a blue-purple spiky chestnut staring back at him.
Kagura revealed a sinister smile: "I still have monsters on my field that I can attack."
Seto Kaiba: ————
Dark Game: ————
The people behind him: ————
The president of Kaiba almost ground his teeth to powder. What are you trying to do, kid?
Kagura waved her hand: "Enter battle phase!"
"【Orichalcos Kidara】Directly attacks Seto Kaiba!"
The big-eyed monster with an attack power of 1000 isn't particularly powerful, but it's deadly enough. President Kaiba is clearly out of options.
He was extremely unwilling, and his angry eyes seemed to pierce through Kagura's body.
But he was clearly powerless to do anything, and just as he was about to be humiliatingly killed by a trash monster, King Yu intervened in time: "Counterattack Trap, [Attack Nullification] activated!"
"When an opponent's monster declares an attack, target that attacking monster and negate the attack. Then, end the Battle Phase!"
The classic trap saved President Kaiba from disaster, but it's impossible to hear a thank you from this person now.
President Kaiba snorted coldly, raising his head arrogantly: "Mind your own business! I don't need your help!"
Wang Yang clearly understood Kaiba's temperament and didn't react at all.
On Kagura's Duel Disk, the words "Main Stage Two" began to appear.
"Did you manage to dodge it?"
Kagura's gaze was deep as she looked at the disheveled King and the president duo.
"Heh, but you won't be so lucky next time."
He drew three cards and inserted them into the duel disk: "Set three cards face down, end your turn!"
His current strategy is to consistently summon a powerful card each turn, then use [Orichalcos Chidara] to absorb damage and set cards, making it incredibly reliable.
Just look at how Wang Yang and the president are; they're really going all out today, taking on all sorts of powerful monsters that they don't even usually encounter when fighting random players.
But with the president's current health bar, he definitely won't last much longer. This round should be the time for the two of them to unleash their power.
Sure enough, King Yu placed his fingers on the Duel Disk, closed his eyes, and seemed to be sensing the cards' responses.
A moment later, he slowly drew a card: "My turn, draw!"
Kagura: ————This aura———— Could it be that they've printed another card?
Just as Kagura predicted, Yugi pulled out a trump card: "Spell Card, [Spiral Fusion] activated!"
"Send the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Dragon Fusion Monster Card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck!"
"Furthermore! If this effect Special Summons [Dragon Knight Gaia], that monster gains 2600 ATK and can attack the monster up to twice during the same Battle Phase!"
"I send [Dark Knight Gaia] and [Cursed Dragon] from my hand to the Graveyard! Fusion Summon!"
"The fusion requirements are: [Dark Knight Gaia] monster + Level 5 Dragon-Type monster!"
"A righteous knight soaring through the skies, comprehending the true essence of magic amidst the swift winds!"
"Fusion Summon! Come forth! [Dragon Sorcerer Knight. Gaia]!"
The difference from the original version isn't too significant; it's just that the benevolent Gaia riding the dragon's monster descends from the sky. As a veteran fighter, Gaia has finally found his most useful disguise.
【Dragon Knight Gaia, Level 7, Wind Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2600, Fusion Monster.】
Kagura: !?
Are you serious? How come you've even brought out Dragon Demon Gaia after all this time?
Are you really treating me like a boss to be defeated?
"While this card is in the Monster Zone, its name is treated as [Dragon Knight Gaia]!"
Yami Yugi shouted, "Therefore, this card's ATK increases by 2600, and it can attack monsters twice!"
[Dragon Knight Gaia, Attack Power 2600 → Attack Power 5200]
"Attack power 5200?"
Honda excitedly made a face: "Great! It surpasses the 4500 attack power of [Obelisk the Colossus]!"
"Entering battle phase!"
King Yu shouted, "[Dragon Knight Gaia], attack [Obelisk the Tormentor]!"
"Spiral Shot!"
The knight riding the cursed dragon soaring through the sky raised his lance, dodged the giant soldier's furious iron fist, and pierced the core of the god.
Soon, this invincible god let out a painful wail and vanished into specks of light.
Kagura: "But! As long as [Orichalcos Kitara] is on the field in Attack Position, it will absorb all damage from any monster's battle!"
The large eyes, reflecting a green six-pointed star, emitted an attractive force, absorbing all the impact before slowly closing.
But Yugi revealed a confident smile: "Once per turn, when [Dragon Spell Knight Gaia] destroys an opponent's monster by battle, this card gains 2600 ATK!"
[Dragon Knight Gaia, Attack Power 5200 → Attack Power 7800]
"Attack power 7800!?"
Honda's facial expressions were so exaggerated: "This is truly a game!"
Wang Yang continued, "This monster summoned using [Spiral Fusion] can attack twice!"
"Attack continues! [Dragon Knight Gaia] attacks [Orichalcos Chidara]! Spiral Shot!"
The terrifying spearhead hurtled towards the prickly chestnut like a falling meteor, but Kagura calmly waved her hand, flipping the face-down card on the field: "Trap Card! [Attack Invincibility] Activated!"
"During the Battle Phase, you can activate 1 of the following effects: Select 1 monster on the field that cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects during this Battle Phase."
"Or, during this phase of combat, the combat damage I take against myself becomes 0."
"I choose the first effect: to prevent my [Orichalcos Chidara] from being destroyed in battle!"
Unfortunately, God doesn't fall for traps, not even traps activated by his own side. Otherwise, this card could have saved the Titan.
The terrifying gunshot pierced the prickly chestnut hard, but nothing happened.
"As long as [Orichalcos Kidara] is on the field in Attack Position, it will absorb any damage caused by a monster's battle."
Kagura recited the sentence like a villain who loves to repeat important lines, then gave a mocking sneer: "Heh, looks like your plan has failed."
Wang Yang suddenly revealed a confident smile: "That's not necessarily true!"
"Entering Main Phase Two!"
"I activate the effect of [Dragon Knight Gaia]!"
"Once per turn, during both players' Main Phases! Target 1 card on the field other than this card. This card loses 2600 ATK, and the targeted card is destroyed!"
"I reduce [Dragon Knight Gaia]'s ATK by 2600! Destroy [Orichalcos Chidara] on your field!"
The cursed dragon that Wang Yang was riding immediately opened its mouth and launched a magical attack on its master, who had already begun studying magic, demonstrating its dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
This effect is very powerful. It allows you to target and destroy any card during the opponent's second turn. This card originally has 2600 attack power, which means it guarantees at least one destruction.
With the added effect of [Spiral Fusion], it becomes two explosions, and since this card destroys an opponent's monster once in battle, it becomes three explosions.
That's what makes this monster so powerful.
Kagura could actually let the opponent destroy this card at will, and then immediately play [Orichalcos Sinoros] to give Yugi a surprise.
However, [Orichalcos] has no resistance. If it gets destroyed by Yugi's [Dragon Knight Gaia] effect next turn while it's with Kaiba, that would be a huge loss.
It would be a waste not to use this much attack power I've accumulated.
Thinking of this, Kagura decided to protect [Orichalcos Kidara] one more time: "Open the face card, Trap Card!"
【The darkness of scapegoating!】
"You can activate this effect only when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap/Monster effect that destroys a card on the field! Negate that effect!"
"After that, send one Level 3 or lower DARK monster from your Deck to the Graveyard."
The president of Kaiba was taken aback: "My card?"
That's right, this is the card that President Kaiba used in the dark side of the dimension. He once used this card to block the "Thousand Blades" from Virtual King.
A terrifying black smoke enveloped the body of [Orichalcos Kidara] on the field, and Kagura sent the cards that were automatically popped from her deck to the graveyard.
Soon, a three-eyed little monster appeared with a grin, blocking the magical attack from Gaia.
Wang Yang subconsciously felt that the monster looked somewhat familiar, when he heard Kagura say, "Next, activate the effect of the [Three-Eyed Monster] sent to the Graveyard, and add 1 monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand!"
"I'm adding the [Anka Kuriboh] with 300 ATK from my deck to my hand!"
As mentioned before, this card is an elf that somehow ended up in Kagura's deck and started mooching off her, and now Kagura has raised it as a pet.
The card popped out automatically, and Kagura drew it out. A slightly purple phantom with beautiful big eyes, Kuriboh, jumped out happily.
According to the Peacock Dance, Kuriboh also has a gender, and the ordinary Kuriboh in the game is a boy.
But Kagura, this [Anka Kuriboh], is clearly a little girl, dressed in sparkling Egyptian gold jewelry, with fluttering eyelashes.
This [Kuri-ko] was very outgoing and, regardless of the occasion, happily rubbed against Kagura's face, almost ruining the villainous aura that Kagura had painstakingly cultivated.
