Chapter 256: Is It Really Not a Dark Duel?
"Lava Demon, return to hand!"

"Tsk, this thing again"

Amerda frowned. His mentality seemed to have changed a little since the duel.

"Then cover a card and the turn is over."

"By the way, 'Magic Sky Fortress-Giglat' has another effect, right?" You Xuan smiled, "I have studied the cards of legendary duelists like you, senior, carefully."

The implication is, don't try to get away with it by talking nonsense.

Amerda hesitated for two seconds, then said helplessly.

"Magic Sky Fortress - Zigrat, at the end of the turn, you must Special Summon a Robot Token in Defense Position on your side of the field.

Tokens cannot attack, but when you have a token on the field, your opponent can only attack robot tokens. "

[Robot derivative, defense 0]

"Ah, this is the defensive effect that even my brother found difficult back then." Keipi was quickly reminded of his long-lost memories by this scene.

Derivatives will be summoned every round to act as shields. In this way, even if the opponent manages to summon a big monster with attack power higher than the Magic Fortress, they must first destroy the derivatives before attacking the fortress.

Coupled with the fortress's own resistance to magic traps, it is indeed difficult to solve in this slow game environment.

But now this excellent ability has become a burden.

As we all know, if there is only one monster on the field, the Lava Golem cannot eat it. So the effect of automatically replenishing a monster at the end of the phase is really considerate.
"Then I draw cards on my turn." You Xuan smiled, "First, I use the quick-attack magic 'Handbook Kill'. Both parties discard two cards from their hands, and then draw two cards."

You Xuan drew a card, paused, and then slowly showed a card in his hand.

"Well, I think you should know what's going to happen next.
I sacrificed the Robot Token and the Magic Sky Fortress-Giglat on my predecessor's field, and once again rose from the abyss.

——Lava Demon, summon!"

The invincible Magic Sky Fortress was melted in an instant, and the robots also dissipated in the lava. The burning giant stood up, exuding a breath of destruction.

[Lava Demon, attack power 3000]

The giant turned around and gave Amerda another silly smile.

It's like saying, what a coincidence, buddy, we meet again.

Ameruda: “.”

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt like hitting someone.

"Then activate the Continuous Trap 'Brainwash Removal'!" You Xuan said, "As long as this card exists, control of all monsters on both sides' fields will return to their original owners.

Therefore, the Lava Golem returns to its original owner, which is me."

So the Lava Demon patted his buttocks, stood up, and swaggered back to You Xuan's field. Before leaving, he even seemed to bow to his opponent.

It probably means "thank you for the treat".

Ameruda: “.”

After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but say, "Well, I see, this thing is really your soul."

Brainwash removal plus lava demon, eat up all the food and then jump back immediately, there is even an exclusive combo.
"I can't Normal Summon other monsters during the turn when Lava Golem is summoned." You Xuan said, "Then it's Lava Golem's direct attack."

The Lava Demon roared and blasted out a "Mysterious Flame", which was another fatal blow.

"It's not that easy." Amerda said solemnly, "Activate the face card, the Trap Card 'Dimensional Prison'! The attacking monster is immediately removed from the game!

Remove Lava Golem from the game!"

When Tiehanhan punched into the dimensional crack and was sucked away, Ameruda calmed down. He took a deep breath and reflected that he seemed a little excited when he spoke just now.

However, it is not easy to maintain a normal state of mind when facing such a thing as an opponent.

"Then cover a card and the turn is over."

"Then on my turn, draw a card." Amerda said, "Activate the magic card 'Treasure of Buried Spells'! Remove the three magic cards 'Magic Void Fit', 'Toy Machine Box', and 'Scrap Trader' from the graveyard from play, and draw two cards!" (Original card)
Amerda replenished his hand again and continued, "Then there's the Spell Card 'Weapon Hole'! Send a card from the top of your deck to the Graveyard, and you can add an Equipment Spell from your deck or Graveyard to your hand."

He drew the top card from the deck and sent it to the graveyard, and then a card in the graveyard was retired.

"Return the equipment spell 'Premature Burial' in the graveyard to your hand." Amerda said, "Then activate it again!
Pay 800 HP to revive the monster in your graveyard in attack mode! "

[Ameruda, LP 2400 → LP 1600]

He pulled out the Graveyard Exit card and held it high.

"Come again, Magic Sky Fortress-Giglat!!!"

The shadow of steel covered the sky, and the Magic Sky Fortress that had melted in the lava reappeared in the air!

[Magic Sky Fortress-Giglat, attack power 2500]

You Xuan: "You called out again so soon."

"A direct attack from the Magic Sky Fortress!" Ameruda shouted, "The fortress is not affected by any trap effects. It's over!"

"That may not be the case." You Xuan smiled, "Quick Attack Magic 'Command Silencer'. Cancel the opponent's attack declaration and draw a card from the deck." (Original card)
The sound waves spread, sweeping across the huge fortress. The gun barrel that the fortress had just raised sank again, as if it was not so easy to raise it again.

"It's Kaiba's card again."

Amerda frowned and glanced at Kaiba beside him with some displeasure.

Keiping was quite happy: "Youxuan has become proficient in using our cards."

"Then I'll cover two more cards, and the turn is over."

Ameruda said unhappily.

"And at the end of the turn, the effect of Magic Sky Fortress Special Summon a 'Robot Token' on the field."

[Robot derivative, defense 0]

"Then it's my turn, draw a card."

You Xuan drew a card, paused for a moment, and looked up at the huge Magic Sky Fortress in the sky.

"Giglat, it's indeed a formidable monster. Well, as a thank you to Mr. Amerda for letting me see a monster of this level, I have to show some real skills here."

Ameruda concentrated.

Does this mean that you are finally going to show your real cards?

"I activate the Spell Card 'Super Warrior Sprout'," You Xuan said, "until the total level reaches eight stars, send Light and Dark attribute monsters from your hand and deck to the Graveyard respectively, and Ritual Summon the 'Chaos Warrior' monster!"

"As expected." Amerda narrowed his eyes, "I have heard through the duel intelligence I have collected that you and the Kaiba Group have developed the strongest form of Chaos Warriors that possesses both the power of Kaikai and the power of Darkness.

It would be a headache if you summoned a guy like that."

His expression froze and he chuckled.

“But will it be that easy?
Activate the face-up card to counter the trap - Bribe of the Demon Palace! Negate and destroy the activation of magic and traps, and the opponent can draw a card from the deck. "The activation of Super Warrior Germination is invalidated, and the storm of chaos comes to an abrupt end.

"Ah!" Guiping said with some regret, "The Chaos Warrior's appearance failed."

"Then, the card discarded by 'Notebook Slash' in the last turn, the effect of the ritual magic 'Ceremony of the Super Warrior' is activated!" You Xuan said.

This again involves Ameruda's blind spot in knowledge: "Launch ritual magic from a cemetery!?"

What about selecting ritual materials from the deck, ritual summoning ritual monsters in the graveyard, and now there is even ritual magic activated from the graveyard?
Has the Chaos Warriors' cutting-edge research developed so many fancy ritual components?

"Critique of the Super Warrior: Remove this card from the Graveyard, as well as one Light and one Dark monster from the game. You can Special Summon a Chaos Warrior Ritual Monster from your hand, ignoring the summoning conditions."

You Xuan drew out the two cards that had been withdrawn from the graveyard.

"Exclude the light-attributed 'Magic General Store' and the dark-attributed 'Artificial Human - Psychic Returner' in the graveyard from the game!
One soul leads the light, one soul leads the darkness, the door of chaos opens here -

—Chaos Warriors, summoning! "

The souls of light and darkness swirled and sank into the vortex. The sword light cut through the chaos. The legendary warrior descended here!

[Chaos Warrior, Attack Power 3000]

"It's still not that easy." Amerda shouted in a deep voice, "Counter Trap - God's Declaration!"

You Xuan’s eyelids twitched.

It’s okay now that the old man has moved out.

"Pay half of your life points to negate and destroy the activation of magic traps or summoned monsters!"

[Ameruda, LP 1600 → LP 800]

"The activation of the 'Super Warrior's Ritual' is invalid! Therefore, the summoning of the Chaos Warrior is also invalid!" Amerda smiled, "It's better to keep the Chaos Warrior in hand."

The sacred light fell, and the shadow of the old man appeared on the field. He stretched out a hand majestically, as if to say, you can't do that.

As a result, the image of the Chaos Warrior disappeared before it could fully materialize and land on the ground.

"You've stopped it like this, that's amazing!"

You Xuan smiled slightly, and then drew out two cards returned from the graveyard.

"Then I will remove these two cards in the graveyard, the light attribute 'Angel O7' and the dark attribute 'Artificial Human - Psychic Shocker' from the game!"

Ameruda: “!”

Again?

"The souls of light and darkness are sacrificed in the field of chaos, calling for the arrival of legendary warriors!"

You Xuan raised his arms.

“The world is opening up!
Level 8, Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation, Summoning! "

The souls of light and darkness were sacrificed again, and the storm of chaos rose again. The blades of light and darkness slashed through the void, and the Chaos Warriors seemed to descend from the other side of the starry sky!
[Chaos Warrior-Emissary of Creation Attack Power 3000]

You didn’t expect that I’m here again with a different avatar!

"Well," Amerda said in a deep voice, "Even so, it couldn't stop the Chaos Warriors from coming."

But he quickly said: "However, the messenger of the opening can only choose the effect of continuous attack, or can only choose to eliminate a monster.

I have Magic Sky Fortress and a token that acts as a shield on the field, so even the Envoy of Opening cannot break through this turn."

You Xuan smiled slightly and showed another card.

"The Spell Card 'Primal Seed'. 'Chaos Warrior - Messenger of the Opening' can only be activated if it is on the field, and you can add two cards removed from play to your hand."

Amerda's heart seemed to skip a beat.

The exclusive magic of the messenger of the opening
Recycling cards removed from play?

Masaka (maybe)
"I removed these two cards from the game."

You Xuan showed two cards.

"Man-in-arms - Psychic Shocker, and Lava Demon, return to hand."

Amerda instantly put on a mask of pain.

Ahhhhh!
really!

It's this guy again!
He immediately realized what was going to happen next.

But what if we realize it?

There was nothing more he could do.

He was like a puppet who saw clearly that he was pulling the strings. In the torrent of this duel, he was ruthlessly swept into the abyss of despair, but there was nothing he could do.
"I didn't Normal Summon this turn." You Xuan smiled, "Therefore, I'll sacrifice Mr. Amerda's Tamashi 'Magic Sky Fortress - Gigrat' and 'Robot Token' to Special Summon this powerful monster to your field.

Rise once again from the abyss, the power of destruction and rebirth——

——Level 8, Lava Demon!"

The invincible Magic Sky Fortress has a knife-blocking derivative and is not affected by any magic trap effect. However, in front of the even more invincible Lava Demon, it is as powerless as a little lamb.

Once again, the Lava Demon was wiped out in an instant. He jumped out onto the field of Amerda and once again gave the latter a silly smile.

Scored three times.

Hello, bye.

After eating and drinking and saying hello, the Lava Demon patted his butt and returned to the playground.

[Lava Demon, attack power 3000]

"Of course, the perpetual trap 'Brainwash Removal' is still on the field." You Xuan explained, "So if the Lava Demon is successfully summoned, it will immediately return to the field of its original owner, which is me."

Ameruda: “.”

"Well, Lava Demon," Yugen said politely, "attack Mr. Amerda directly."

The Lava Demon roared.

Wandering mysterious flame!

At the last moment before being engulfed by Tiehanhan's flames, Ameruda looked up at the sky with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He had told You Xuan before that he didn't need to worry as it was just a friendly competition and not a dark duel, so he didn't need to be too pressured.

But now he suddenly felt a little self-doubt.

Is it really not a dark duel?
Why did he feel a little painful when playing this card?
[Ameruda, LP 800 → LP 0]
