Chapter 172
Atem is in big trouble now.
Chapter 244 Soul Servant
Everyone was amazed by the sight before them.
"Wow! Kaiba can still borrow Atem's God Cards even though he doesn't have any God cards in his own deck!"
"As expected of my elder brother!"
"..."
At this moment, Kaiba continued, "It's not over yet. The effect of [B- Destruction Dragon], which was sent to the graveyard as a sacrifice, has activated again."
"Add another Ally monster [Z-Metal Tracks] from your Deck to your hand."
[Seto Kaiba cards: 2→3]
After retrieving the card, Seto Kaiba immediately launched an attack.
"Take this, Atem! [Obelisk the Tormentor] attacks [Guardian Priestess Mana], God Hand Crusher--!!"
The giant clenched his fist and swung it with all his might, blasting it towards the goddess.
Boom--!!
Divine power surged through Mana's body.
"Ah--!!"
The priestess was reduced to dust amidst screams.
As she disappeared from the field, Atem remained unmoved. "Then [Guardian Priestess Mana]'s special effect activates."
If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect, you can activate this effect. Special Summon 1 [Dark Magician Girl] from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard.
The next moment, King's thumb swept across the deck, and without even looking, he pulled out a card from a certain position and slapped it onto the Duel Disk.
Buzz--!!
With a flash of light, the figure of the Dark Magician Girl was projected.
[Dark Magician Girl: Attack Power 2000]
Compared to the Dark Magician Girl in the Yugi, the one on King's side lacked spirit and seemed to be just a simple image.
In fact, Atem is currently using only a reissue card, lacking the Elf Possession ability, while the original girl remains with the Yugi.
King respected her wishes, so he had no choice but to use the replica card.
"[Dark Magician Girl]'s attack power increases by 300 points for each [Dark Magician] present in the graveyard."
[Dark Magician Girl: Attack Power 2000 → 2300]
The Kaiba sneered, "Hmph, you're really troublesome..."
"Then I'll activate the effect of [True Light] again, and apply the Quick-Play Spell [Ultimate Fusion] from my deck to the field."
After setting a card on the field, he inserts a card from his hand into the Duel Disk.
"I'll set one more card face down, end of turn."
The remaining two were simply thrown into the cemetery.
"And in the end phase, due to the negative effect of [Card of Demise], all of your hand cards are sent to the graveyard."
[Seto Kaiba cards: 2 → 0]
This way, the entire backcourt of the Kaiba was covered.
But Atem is not afraid of his opponent at all, because he still has the ability to draw amazing numbers.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Atem's hand: 0 → 1]
Without even glancing at it, he inserted it directly into the Duel Disk. "Quick-Play Spell [Soul Servant] activated!"
Choose 1 card from your hand, deck, or graveyard that has the name of either [Dark Magician] or [Dark Magician Girl] listed in its name, other than [Soul Servant Dark Magician, and place it on top of your deck.
[Atem's Hand: 1 → 0]
"Using this card's effect, I've placed [Dark Magical Circle] on top of my deck."
Upon hearing the card name, President Kaiba frowned.
"Dark Magical Circle... Spell Card with the powerful effect of banishing cards from the field..."
As he thought of this, Atem took out the card he had just placed in the graveyard.
"Then I'll activate another effect of [Soul Servant] from the graveyard."
You can activate this effect by banishing this card from your Graveyard during your Main Phase. Draw the number of [Guardian Priest] monsters, [Dark Magician] monsters, and [Dark Magician Girl] of each type from both players' fields and Graveyards.
"I have [Guardian Priest Mahad], [Guardian Priestess Mana], [Dark Magician], and [Dark Magician Girl] on my field and in my graveyard, so there are four of them in total. Therefore, I draw four cards from my deck."
[Atem's hand: 0 → 4]
Seeing this, the Kaiba snorted coldly, "Hmph, do you think you can draw Spell Card that can replenish four cards in one go under these circumstances?"
"But against Obelisk, who has 4000 attack power, your monsters can't win!"
Upon hearing this, Atem smiled confidently.
Is that really the case?
Kaiba: "What?!"
Atem then revealed his second Spell Card.
"I activate the Spell Card [Dark Magic Missile Barrage] from my hand!"
You can target 1 [Dark Magician] on your field. That monster's ATK increases by the combined ATK of all [Dark Magician Girl] on both players' fields and in their Graveyards until the end of this turn.
[Atem's hand: 4 → 3]
"My chosen target is [Dragon Knight Dark Magician], its attack power increases the attack power of [Dark Magician Girl] on the field by 2300 points."
"Therefore, the [Dragon Knight Dark Magician]'s attack power will increase to..."
The Kaiba gritted its teeth and replied, "Attack power 5300 points..."
This attack power is just enough to deplete the Obelisk the Tormentor's health in a battle.
In that case, he couldn't just sit idly by.
He quickly pressed the button on the face-down card and shouted, "Open the face-down card, Quick-Play Spell [Book of Moon]!"
You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; change that monster to face-down Defense Position.
"What?!"
Seeing Atem's surprised expression, Kaiba felt a secret thrill.
"Hahahaha, the [Eternal Soul] effect only protected the [Dark Magician], the [Dark Magician Girl] wasn't protected at all!"
"Since [Dark Magician Girl] is now face-down, it cannot provide attack power to [Dark Magician] through the effects of Spell Card; therefore, [Dragon Knight Dark Magician]'s attack power remains unchanged."
Since that's the case, Atem seized the moment and shouted, "Then at this instant, I will unleash the monster of [Guardian Priestess Mana] from the graveyard!"
This card can be Special Summoned when it is in your hand or Graveyard, or when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap/Monster effect targeting only 1 Spellcaster monster you control.
Buzz--!!
With a flash of light, the priestess's figure reappeared.
[Guardian Priestess Mana: Attack Power 2000]
Then the figure of the Dark Magician Girl disappeared from his sight, turning into a face-down card placed on his front field.
Then Atem revealed his third Spell Card, "Next, I'll activate Continuous Spell [Dark Magical Circle] from my hand."
[Atem's hand: 3 → 2]
Chapter 245 The True Name
"Due to the activation of [Dark Magical Circle], I can now confirm the three cards on the top of my deck."
As soon as Atem finished speaking, President Kaiba quickly added, "Then activate the effect of the Continuous Trap [True Light], Special Summon [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from the Graveyard."
Buzz--!!
After a flash of light, White Bride's figure reappeared on his field.
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon: Defense 2500]
Upon seeing this, Atem silently drew three cards from his deck to confirm it.
He then showed one of the cards and said, "Using the effect of [Dark Magical Circle], I added [Thousand Blades], which has the card name [Dark Magician], to my hand, and then put the remaining cards back into the deck in my preferred order."
[Atem's hand: 2 → 3]
Then Atem proclaimed, "I will activate the effect of [Eternal Soul] once more, Special Summoning a [Dark Magician] from my Graveyard."
Then Mahad reappeared.
[Dark Magician: Attack Power 2500]
"And because [Dark Magician] was Special Summoned, the effect of [Dark Magical Circle] is activated, banishing one card from your opponent's field."
Upon hearing this, Kaiba quickly replied, "As long as [True Light] is on the field, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] will not be targeted by the opponent's effect."
"Then I'll exclude [True Light]."
This card is causing the damage, so Atem has to eliminate it first.
As for the other two face-down cards, they are not suitable to be stepped on because they can be activated at any time.
Under his command, Mahad waved his wand, releasing a magical energy blast with the aid of a magic circle, which struck the stone slab behind the Kaiba.
Boom--!!
The White Bride stone slab was instantly blasted into dust.
That wasn't all; Atem revealed another Spell Card.
"I will activate the Spell Card [True Name] from my hand again."
You can activate this effect by declaring 1 card name. Reveal the top card of your Deck. If it is the card you declared, add that card to your hand. You can also add 1 Divine monster from your Deck to your hand or Special Summon it. Otherwise, send the revealed card to the Graveyard.
[Atem's hand: 3 → 2]
Upon hearing this effect, Kaiba sneered, "Heh, I see. They use the [Dark Magical Circle] to ensure that the card drawn is predetermined, thus guaranteeing that they can successfully obtain the God Cards."
Atem nodded and continued, "My declared card is [Gravekeeper's Treasure], which adds the top card of my four-card deck and [Slifer the Sky Dragon] from my deck to my hand."
[Atem's Hand: 2 → 4]
"That's quite something, Atem. But this combination alone isn't enough to defeat Obelisk."
President Kaiba crossed his arms, looking completely at ease.
Atem ignored them and inserted the Spell Card into the Duel Disk, "Continuous Spell [Gravekeeper's Treasure] activated..."
[Atem's hand: 4 → 3]
Seeing that he had activated the card, Kaiba immediately pressed the button to close the card.
"Open the face-down card, Quick-Play Spell [Ultimate Fusion], return three Polymerization Materials from the Graveyard to the Deck, Fusion Summon Fusion Monster using [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] as its material."
"I will Polymerization three monsters: [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from my graveyard, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon], and [Destruction God Vasak] which can replace one Polymerization Material."
The three monsters transformed into three streams of energy, merging into one and releasing a blinding light.
"Fusion Summon! Descend, [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Alternative Dragon]!"
Roar--!!
The roar of a dragon echoed within the temple's space as the Ultimate Dragon appeared before everyone.
[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Alternative Dragon: Attack Power 4500]
Summon the Ultimate Dragon in advance to avoid being suppressed by the Slifer the Sky Dragon's Thunder Bullets.
At this moment, Atem raised the God Cards in his hand and shouted, "Then I will offer up the three monsters on the field, [Dark Magician], [Dark Magician Girl], and [Guardian Priestess Mana], as tributes to summon the judge of the underworld, [Slifer the Sky Dragon]!"
