Chapter 122
The Dark Magician vanished from the field in an instant.
"Degeneration!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→2]
[Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Knight: Attack Power 3600 → 3700]
"That concludes my turn."
After drawing the cards, the Yugi stops.
"What a clever scheme, Yugi. You forced out my face-down cards while preventing the weakened [Dark Magician] from facing my attacks, leaving me with nowhere to strike."
"But I will not give up!"
With a determined look in her eyes, Wu drew a card from her deck.
"My turn!"
[Mai Hand Cards: 1→2]
Looking at the card in her hand, her eyes narrowed, then she calmly placed it in her left hand.
She pointed to the Trap Card at her feet and said, "First of all, the Continuous Trap [Mirror Wall] requires 2000 life points to maintain this card's existence, but I choose not to pay them."
Bang!
The card shattered instantly, and the mirror wall on the field also disintegrated.
She then spun the two cards on the Duel Disk, "Next, change [Harpie Harpist] and [Harpie Perfumer] to Defense Position."
The two Harpie Lady then assumed a defensive stance.
[Harpie Harpist: Defense 600]
5 [Harpie Perfumer: Defense 1300]
Next, Mai inserts the cards she draws this turn into the Duel Disk, saying, "Finally, I'll set one more card face down, and end my turn."
[Mai Hand Cards: 2→1]
6. [Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Knight: Attack Power 3700 → 3800]
Since Yugi had plenty of cards in hand, exchanging Phoenix Formation for an effect wouldn't make much sense, so she temporarily ended her turn.
As for the face card, the Yugi doesn't seem to have any problems yet, so we'll leave it for now.
4. "It's my turn again, time to draw a card!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]
Jiao glanced at the card in his hand and then immediately Yugi it, "Activate the Spell Card [Dark Burst] from your hand!"
You can target 1 Dark Attribute Monster with 1500 or less ATK in your Graveyard; add that Dark Attribute Monster to your hand.
Group [Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→2]
[Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Knight: Attack Power 3800 → 3900]
"The card that returns to my hand is of course [Magician's Souls], and through its effect, I send [Chaos Sorcerer] from my deck and myself to the Graveyard, Special Summoning a monster from the Graveyard."
"Come on, [Dark Magician Girl]!"
Buzz--!
After a flash of light, the Dark Magician Girl appeared in a cute form.
[Dark Magician Girl: Attack Power 2000]
"Hehe~☆!"
The girl gave a sweet wink after appearing on stage, then turned and waved to the audience.
"""Oh--!!!"""
Upon seeing her captivating expression, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
This is not only because it is an extremely rare card held by the King of Games, but also because she is very cute.
Dark Magician Girl is the cutest in the world!
Especially for those teenage otaku, seeing their goddess in person makes them incredibly excited, like they've been injected with adrenaline, constantly calling her "wife."
Seeing that the audience's attention had been drawn to the Dark Magician Girl, Mai's eye twitched.
Mai: I'm not even as attractive as a two-dimensional character!?
It took quite a while for the audience to calm down.
The Yugi then continued, "Due to the effect of [Dark Magician Girl], for each [Dark Magician] present in the graveyard, attack power increases by 300 points."
[Dark Magician Girl: Attack Power 2000 → 2300]
He then launched an immediate attack. "Go! First, use [Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Knight] to attack [Harpie's Pet Dragon - Holy Flame]!"
The master charged forward on his warhorse, thrusting the spiral spear infused with the power of the Black Demon.
Bang--!!
The pet dragon was instantly destroyed and disappeared from the field.
[Mai: LP3200→1800]
"What?! My health points have actually decreased...?"
"Could it be!?"
Seeing her health points plummet, Mai immediately understood what was happening.
Yugi nodded, confirming her guess, "That's right, when [Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Knight] attacks a defense monster, it will Piercing Damage on the opponent."
"What a terrifying monster... Not only can it draw power from Spell and Trap Card in the Graveyard, but it can also negate card effects, and finally, it even has a piercing effect."
However, Wu changed the subject, staring at Geka at her feet, and said, "But I'm not entirely without options..."
But before that, she had other things to do.
"When [Harpie's Pet Dragon - Holy Flame] was destroyed and sent to the graveyard, its other special effect was triggered."
This effect can be activated when this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard. Send 1 Winged Beast-Type WIND monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.
"I'm sending the second [Harpie Harpist] to the cemetery."
After throwing the card into the grave, she did nothing further.
The Yugi continued, "The battle continues. Since [Harpie Harpist]'s effect can only be used once per turn, I'll attack [Harpie Harpist] with [Dark Magician Girl] again! Dark Magic Burst Break!"
The Dark Magician Girl waved her wand, and a red magic bullet was launched.
Bang--!!
The harpist was instantly blown to bits.
Chapter 171 The It's a Trap!
Seeing that Harpie Harpist had been eliminated, Mai's expression remained unchanged. Instead, she calmly said, "At this moment, the effect of the Continuous Spell [Allure of Darkness] activates."
You can activate this effect when your [Harpie Lady] or [Harpie Lady Sisters] is destroyed by battle. Special Summon 1 [Harpie] monster from your Deck whose original name is different from that monster's.
"I Special Summon [Harpie Lady 1] from my Deck."
After the flash of light, a Harpie Lady was projected onto the screen.
[Harpie Lady 1: Attack Power 1300]
Seeing this, King muttered, "They didn't choose their ace monster [the Harpie's Pet Dragon]...?"
As the biggest strength of the Harpie deck, he was a little surprised that Mai wasn't summoned.
"That's normal. After all, no matter how much it's improved, its attack power can't reach that of [Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Knight]."
Hearing what the Yugi said, King nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Mai pointed to the newly summoned monster and continued, "The card name of [Harpie Lady 1] is treated as [Harpie Lady] according to the rules, and as long as this monster is on the field, all WIND monsters on the field gain 300 ATK."
[Harpie Lady 1: Attack Power 1300 → 1600]
[Harpie Oracle: Attack Power 1300 → 1600]
[Harpie Perfumer: Attack Power 1400 → 1700]
Seeing Yugi, Yugi shrugged indifferently, "The monster's attack power has increased, but Mai, you're still far from that level of improvement."
"Really?"
Wu narrowed her eyes, as if she had something in mind.
Even though it's not yet apparent in the Yugi, that doesn't stop him from doing what he wants.
He then inserted a card into the Duel Disk, declaring, "Activate the Spell Card [Summoner's Art] from my hand!"
You can activate this effect by returning 1 Level 6 monster from your hand or face-up monsters on your field to the bottom of its owner's Deck. Draw 2 cards.
"I'm returning [Dark Magician Girl] to my deck."
He tucked the card into the bottom of his deck and, as before, opted for a quick strike to escape.
The Dark Magician Girl then waved gently, as if saying "goodbye," which she actually did, but only Yugi and King could hear it.
She then left the field amidst the groans of the audience.
After she disappeared, the Yugi proceeded to draw two cards from the top.
"Degeneration!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]
"Furthermore, due to the addition of a Spell Card to the Graveyard, the ATK of [Super Magical Knight - Dark Magician Knight] continues to increase."
[Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Knight: Attack Power 3900 → 4000]
"That concludes my turn."
Just as he announced the end, Wu clicked her tongue, "Tsk, the monster's attack power has finally increased to 4000 points, the same as the God Cards..."
But she remained calm and said, "When you declare the end of this turn, I will activate the monster effect of [Harpie Harpist].
You can activate this effect during the End Phase of the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard. Add 1 Level 4 Winged Beast monster with 1500 or less ATK from your Deck to your hand.
"I'm adding the second [Harpie Perfumer Don] from my deck to my hand."
[Mai Hand Cards: 1→2]
After receiving the deck, the dancer draws a card from it.
"Next is my turn, draw a card!"
[Mai Hand Cards: 2→3]
After just one glance, she played the card in her hand without hesitation, "Activate the Spell Card [Feather Duster's Blessing] from my hand!"
If you control two or more Winged Beast monsters with different original card names, you can activate this effect by paying 600 Life Points. Draw two cards from your Deck.
[Mai: LP1800→1200]
"I have three Winged Beast Monsters on my field with different original card names, so I draw two cards using this card's effect."
"Degeneration!"
[Mai Hand Cards: 3→4]
She glanced at the two cards she had just received, and a slight smile played on her lips. "Here they are..."
She then inserted one of the cards into the Duel Disk, "Spell Card [Kaleidoscope - Magnificent Clone -] activated!"
This effect can only be activated if there is a [Harpie Lady] on the field. Special Summon 1 [Harpie Lady] or 1 [Harpie Lady Sisters] from your hand or Deck.
[Mai Hand Cards: 4 → 3]
"I Special Summon a monster from my Deck in Attack Position."
"Come on, [the Harpie Lady Sisters]!"
As soon as she finished speaking, three armored Harpie Lady appeared in front of her.
[The Harpie Lady Sisters: Attack Power 1950 → 2250]
Immediately afterwards, she placed another card from her hand onto the Duel Disk, "I summon [Harpie Perfumer] in Attack Position."
