Chapter 117
At this moment, Pegasus pretended to wipe away imaginary cold sweat, "Phew~, that was close. You can't relax for a second during a duel with Yugi boy ~."
"Defense power is 2200 points... [Queen's Knight]'s attack power is insufficient... Therefore, I will end this phase of the battle."
Although the Yugi's attack was blocked, Pegasus's disadvantage remained unchanged.
He then inserted the card in his hand into the Duel Disk, saying, "It's not over yet. I'll just set one last card face down, and then the turn ends."
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1 → 0]
After an extra card appeared at his feet, he immediately ended the round.
But there are still things to do in the Yugi before Pegasus's turn arrives.
"During my End Phase, I activate the effect of the Spell Card [Ace Number] from my Graveyard."
"This card has the same effect as [Riryoku]: add this card to your hand by sending the Light Attribute Warrior-type- Type monster [Jack's Knight] back to the Deck."
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 0→1]
Chapter 163 The Copycat
"My turn!"
[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand cards: 1→2]
Pegasus's right eye lit up as he looked at the card he had just drawn. "Nice~, I drew a good card."
He first put down that card, then picked up another card from his hand and slammed it onto the Duel Disk.
"First, I summon [Toon Gemini Elf] from my hand in Defense Position."
After a flash of light, two cartoonish fairies were projected out.
[Toon Gemini Elf: Defense 900]
"Hehe~~!"
Two cartoon sprites winked at the Yugi, giving him goosebumps.
King couldn't help but shake his head, "I really don't understand Pegasus's aesthetic sense..."
"Yes~."
After agreeing, the Yugi continued to stare at Pegasus.
The next moment, the latter played the card he had drawn that turn.
"Then I activate the Spell Card [Copycat] from my hand."
If you control [Toon World] or a Toon monster, you can target 1 card in your opponent's Graveyard. If that card is a monster, Special Summon that monster to your field. If that card is a Spell/ Trap Card, Set that card to your field.
[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 2 → 0]
"Copycat, trying to copy cards from my graveyard... Could it be?!"
Upon seeing the setup on the other side, the Yugi immediately realized something and its eyes widened in surprise.
At this moment, a cartoon black cat appeared on the field, transforming at will as if it were a slime.
The cartoon black cat stretched its body and circled around to Pegasus's ear.
"@#!#%&*￥..."
The black cat seemed to be whispering something to Pegasus.
"Nice! That's a great idea!"
"Yugi boy said it wants to become the [Mirage of Nightmare] in You's graveyard."
"Really!"
This was probably not Pegasus's idea to copy the cat, but rather Pegasus's own.
Pegasus said, waving his finger, "And I have two Spellcaster monsters on my field. You should know what that means, right?"
"Hmm..."
"Alright, go ahead!"
Meow--!
At his command, the cloned cat instantly transformed into the selected card and was placed at his feet.
"Alright, open this card, activate the Spell Card [Mirage of Nightmare]!"
"I have two Spellcaster monsters on my field, therefore I gain control of [Dark Magician] through the effect of [Mirage of Nightmare]."
Two magic doors reappeared, but this time Pegasus was manipulating them.
A pair of black cat paws reached out from the magic door on this side of the Yugi and grabbed the Dark Magician.
"Mmm..."
The Dark Magician struggled incessantly, trying to break free of control, but to no avail.
"The Dark Magician!"
They could only watch helplessly as the Yugi was dragged inside.
They passed through the gate and arrived in front of Pegasus.
[Dark Magician: Defense 2100]
Pegasus: They exchange Minotaur forms as a gesture of goodwill.
Yugi & King:...
Dark Magician & Toon Dark Magician:...
Monsters that gain control through the Magic Gate cannot be destroyed in battle; the current situation is that neither side can defeat the other.
"Have they strengthened their defenses and chosen to switch from offense to defense...?"
The Yugi is starting to get a bit tricky.
"What should we do, AIBO?"
"There's not much we can do, we can only wait and see what we get in the next round."
While they were discussing, Pegasus had already spun a card on the Duel Disk.
"I am changing [Faceless Illusion Magician] to Attack Position."
[Faceless Illusion Magician: Attack Power 1200]
"Do you wish to resurrect the [Relinquished]!?"
The Yugi allows you to see through your opponent's plans at a glance.
After changing his state, Pegasus immediately launched an attack. "Battle begins! [Faceless Illusion Magician] Attack [Queen's Knight]!"
The faceless magician then opened his palms, and between them, a seal of the Eye of Horus was summoned and pushed out.
The Yugi can only allow its own monster to take the attack.
Bang--!
The Queen's Knight raised her shield and deflected the enemy's attack.
"Fight back, [Queen's Knight]!"
"Drink--!"
The knight charged forward and cleaved the faceless magician in two with a single sword strike.
Bang!
[Pegasus J. Crawford: LP 1800 → 1500]
Then, at that very moment, Pegasus shouted, "Now! Activate the other ability of [Faceless Illusion Magician]!"
If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can target 1 [Eye of the Sacrifice] Fusion Monster or [Relinquished] in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster.
"Come back, [Relinquished]!"
The moment his voice fell, the Relinquished reappeared before his eyes.
[Relinquished: Defense 0]
"That concludes my combat phase."
"Then I'll activate the [Relinquished]'s special ability once more, Dark Eye Magic activated!"
"Absorb [Toon Dark Magician]!"
The Eye of Horus of the Relinquished immediately released an evil light, which shone on the Toon Dark Magician and locked onto him.
Then, the suction force generated from the opening in the lower body instantly pulled the Toon Dark Magician away and swallowed him, merging with his wings to form a shield to protect his body.
[Relinquished: Attack 0 → 2500, Defense 0 → 2100]
"That's how I got my monster back from You's field, finally turning the tide!"
"Let my turn end here."
Pegasus breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
This situation prompted King to sigh, "As expected of Pegasus, he's a truly formidable opponent."
"Yes, in any case, Mr. Pegasus is the Father of Dueling; it's still a long way off before we can defeat him."
After saying that, the Yugi draws a card from the deck.
"My turn! Draw a card!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→2]
After glancing at his hand, his spirits lifted. "Good, this card..."
With that, Yugi inserted the card in his hand into the Duel Disk, "Spell Card [Reinforcement of the Army] activated!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2 → 1]
"Add one Level 4 or lower Warrior-type monster [King's Knight] from your Deck to your hand."
Once he had the card in his hand, he kept slapping it onto the Duel Disk without stopping.
"Then summon [King's Knight] in Attack Position, and by its effect, Special Summon [Jack's Knight] from the Deck once more."
With a flash of light, two male knights reappeared on the field.
[King's Knight: Attack Power 1600]
[Jack's Knight: Attack Power 1900]
Chapter 164 I bestow this powerful card upon you
Once you have a row of monsters on your field, the Yugi immediately launches an attack.
"Battle has begun! All monsters, attack [Toon Gemini Elf]!"
The four monsters then charged towards the other monster together.
"Ho~, trying to nerf my deck...?"
"Then, as you wish, with the effect of [Toon Kingdom], banish the four cards on the deck and negate these four acts of destruction."
Two cartoon sprites suddenly disappeared into the cartoon castle, and the four monsters instantly vanished into the empty space. Only after escaping this ordeal did they cautiously return to the field.
This result was expected in the Yugi.
"Pegasus has seventeen cards left in his deck."
King, standing to the side, was counting the Yugi's progress.
"Seventeen cards!? Looks like we can't rely on destroying the deck to win..."
So, the Yugi continued by pressing the "face down" button, "Now I'll face down again, and the Trap Card [Riryoku] will activate!"
During your or your opponent's Main Phase and Battle Phase, you can send 1 Spell Card from your Deck to the Graveyard with all the names of [Queen's Knight], [Jack's Knight], and [King's Knight] listed. This effect becomes the same as the effect of that Spell Card when it was activated.
"Send [Quick Summon] from your deck to the graveyard, and copy the effect described on this card."
This effect can only be activated during your or your opponent's Main Phase and Battle Phase. Summon 1 Level 10 monster. If you control all of [Queen's Knight], [Jack's Knight], and [King's Knight], you can use the following effect instead.
● Add 1 DARK Attribute monsters) with? ATK from your Deck to your hand. Then, you can Summon 1 Level 10 monster.
