Chapter 52 Death Guardian

"I see, I'm quite good at it."

The masked sorcerer glanced at the two magicians who were standing on the left and right of Yugenchang like guardians, and snorted coldly.

“But after obtaining the power of evolution granted by my God, I am now invincible.

My turn, draw a card! "

After the sorcerer draws a new card, he reveals it immediately.

"Then first, I'll use the quick attack magic 'Whirlwind' to destroy the Gaifuka in your backfield!"

A black whirlwind rolled up, sweeping towards Gaika in the backcourt with lightning.

"The effect of Silent Magician." You Xuan interrupted, "Once per turn, the activation of magic cards is negated."

The storm came to an abrupt end and dissipated along with the thunder under the protection of the white magic circle.

"Tsk, you have such an ability. Then activate the magic card 'Pot of Greed' and draw two more cards from your deck."

The sorcerer drew a card, then drew two more cards from his hand.

"Magic Card 'Sacrificial Doll'. Tribute a monster on your field to Special Summon a monster that can be Normal Summoned from your hand!

I will send the monsters on my field to the Graveyard, and then Special Summon this card!"

The monster covering the field flipped over, revealing a red, eerie dog. Its body dissolved in a storm of shadows, forming the image of some sort of summoning array.

"Level 7, Holy Night Dragon, summon!"

A storm of holy fire erupted from the summoning circle, and a giant dragon spread its wings and flew out onto the field.

[Holy Night Dragon, attack power 2500]

The goblin brothers in the back began to shout again: "Master of Spells is awesome!"

"Summoning such a powerful monster in an instant, that kid doesn't stand a chance!"

"."

The Masked Sorcerer also snorted proudly, "You are very cautious. You didn't attack the monster I covered last round. Are you on guard against the flip effect?

But it didn't work. The monster I covered was 'Demon Dog - Hakki Dog'. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can add a Demon-Type, Level 8 monster from your deck to your hand.

Although you didn't attack it, sacrificing it to the grave through the 'Sacrificial Doll' can also trigger this effect."

The masked sorcerer drew the demon he had searched for from the deck and smiled grimly.

"The demon I want to search for is this card. After receiving the blessing of my God, I evolved into my most ferocious and evil form.

——Masked Monster·Death Guardian!"

You Xuan: “.”

So this thing is your evolved form?

This is also a monster that has appeared in DM, and has been used by the Light and Dark Masked Brothers and Malik. An eight-star demon with an attack power of 3,300. It can only be Special Summoned by using two monsters on the field, including at least one [Masked Sorcerer - Cursed Maw] and [Melgidor Tetrapandora], as a sacrifice.

"And I haven't Normal Summoned yet this turn." The sorcerer smiled grimly and raised his voice, "So next, I will Normal Summon myself!
[Masked Sorcerer - Cursed Throat], summon! "

Sure enough, when he put the card in his hand on the duel disk, a clone-like image appeared on the sorcerer's body and separated directly to the open space in the front court.

[Masked Sorcerer-Curse Throat, Attack Power 1500]

Secret: I summon myself!
The scene looked a bit weird, but You Xuan was calm. He knew that this was a part of the Yu-Gi-Oh tradition that had to be appreciated, and there was something even weirder to come.

"Sheep creatures summoned by Scapegoat cannot be sacrificed for higher summons, but can be sacrificed for other effects."

The sorcerer clasped his fingers together, as if chanting some spell, and then shouted loudly.

"So, I sacrificed a 'Sheep Token' plus myself!"

Advanced Secret: I sacrifice myself!

The sorcerer's clone and a sheep derivative disappeared, as if they were swallowed by a rapidly expanding ball of darkness. A vortex of chaos erupted, and sharp claws split the darkness, and a curious demon with three masks emerged from the chaos.

[Masked Monster-Death Guardian, attack power 3300]

The goblin minions became restless again: "It appears, the strongest form of the Spell Master's evolution!"

Some minions even taunted You Xuan directly: "Ha, you are already a dead man, it's too late to surrender now!"

"It's not over yet! Next is the Spell Card 'Treasure of Buried Spells'. Banish 'Pot of Greed', 'Sacrificial Doll' and 'Whirlwind' from the Graveyard, and draw two more cards from your Deck!"

After summoning the Masked Monster, the sorcerer's voice seemed to become sharp and distorted. "Then activate the equipment magic 'Reptile Rage' from your hand, and the equipped monster becomes a reptile type, and the attack power increases by 800.

I equip the 'Holy Night Dragon' and increase its attack power by 800!"

[Holy Night Dragon, attack power 2500 → attack power 3300]

"Hmm?" You Xuan frowned.

Night Dragon is Special Summoned by the effect of the Spell Card "Sacrificial Doll", and monsters summoned by this effect cannot attack during this turn.

"Heh, you must be wondering why I want to strengthen the Holy Night Dragon? The answer is this—"

The sorcerer played another card in his hand and shouted.

"Magic Card 'Cross Attack'!"

Magic cards appeared on his field with rolling golden light, and the golden light enveloped the Holy Night Dragon and the Masked Beast on his field.

"Cross Attack. You can select two monsters on your field with the same attack power. This turn, one of the selected monsters can attack directly, while the other monster cannot attack!"

The minions suddenly realized again.

"I see. By using equipment to increase the attack power of Holy Night Dragon to the same level as Masked Monster, it can attack directly!"

"Not only that, but the Holy Night Dragon summoned by the Sacrifice Doll cannot attack during this round, and they even took advantage of this."

"A direct attack with an attack power of 3,300. This blow will reduce the boy's health to as little as a candle in the wind!"

"This is the duel of the sorcerer-sama, too strong"

You Xuan: “.”

It’s really a combo with anime characteristics.

Although he now feels that he has mastered the art of drawing magic, and dares to try to be bolder in his construction, he is still not used to such acrobatic combos.
"The attack power of the 'Holy Night Dragon' on my field has been increased to the same as that of the 'Masked Monster - Death Guardian', so of course, I choose to sacrifice the attack of the Holy Night Dragon, and the Masked Monster can attack directly!"

The sorcerer laughed sharply.

"Use 'Masked Monster - Death Guardian' to attack directly! Feel the power of destruction!"

The huge demon rushed out, and its sharp claws suddenly struck You Xuan on the head.

But the next moment a miracle happened!

The Silent Magician actually jumped out and stood in front of You Xuan! She opened her arms and used her slender body to forcibly block the devil's claws, and then she turned into golden light and dissipated with a snap.

"What?" The sorcerer was shocked. "What's going on? Why did the monster jump out to block the knife?"

"Hehe, this is the bond between the duelist and the monster." You Xuan said righteously, "The power of the bond can bring about miracles. People like you won't understand."

Sorcerer: “???”

WTF?

He suddenly remembered that he had heard a rumor that a duel king from an unknown world had such terrifying power that he could even ignore the rules. Could it be that he had encountered the legendary
But then his eyes fell on a trap that had been opened in the opponent's backcourt at some point.

Trap Card - Temptation of Earthbound Spirit. When the opponent's monster declares an attack, you can choose the target again.

"Tsk, I was discovered." You Xuan curled his lips, "Yes, I re-designated the attack target of 'Masked Monster-Death Guardian' through the trap effect.

Therefore, your target of attack changed from me to Silent Magician. And because of the attack just now, I lost 1300 health points. "

[You Xuan, LP 4000→LP 2700]

The masked sorcerer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had a sharp eye and saw the backcourt. The good boy actually tried to deceive him, and he almost thought he had bumped into the legendary king of nonsense.
"It sounds nice, but you're just using your own monsters as walls." The masked sorcerer sneered.

You Xuan ignored him. Where the silent magician disappeared, a white magic circle appeared out of thin air. A wave of magic power burst out like a storm, swirling straight into the sky.

"What?" The masked sorcerer was shocked again, "Didn't she get knocked down?"

"No, you just unlocked her true power. When Silent Magician is destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, Special Summon a 'Silent Magician' monster other than yourself from your hand or deck, ignoring the summoning conditions.

From the intersection of chaos and order, a silent radiance blooms. The magician of light descends here.

——Silent Magician LV8!"

A transparent magic storm rolled up, white robes fluttered, and the white-robed wizard who had just left the stage came again, and the magical aura around him was even stronger than before.

Silent Magician LV8, summon!
