Chapter 86
At that moment, Rafael quickly drew the three cards from the top of his deck.
After checking it once, he put it in his pocket.
"That completes my preparations..."
With that, he inserted the equipment card into the Duel Disk.
"Equip Spell [Gravity Axe - Roar]!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an ancient double-edged axe appeared on the field, and the Summoner of the Weapon took the axe with both hands.
[Summoner of the Weapon: Attack Power 2100 → 2600]
"And [Guardian Grall] is Special Summoned under the guidance of [Gravity Axe - Roar]."
A flash of light, and the robust dinosaur-man reappeared.
[Guardian·Glar: Attack Power 2500→3000]
[Rafael's hand cards: 2 → 0]
Seeing the scene before him, President Kaiba smiled with interest. "Hmph, as Yugi opponent, they're not bad."
"Yugi..."
Unlike the President's confidence in the Yugi, his cheerleading teammates were subconsciously worried about Yugi.
In their view, one monster alone could not withstand two attacks.
At this moment, Rafael waved his arm and shouted, "Go! [Summoner of the Weapon], attack [Macaron Marshmallon]!"
At his command, the Summoner of the Weapon charged forward with a giant axe, cleaving it down at the Macaron Marshmallon.
But just as it was split in two, the two Marshmallon transformed back into two that remained on the field of the Yugi.
[Macaron Marshmallon: Defense 200] ×2
"What?! What's going on?"
Rafael stared in astonishment at the scene before him.
Chapter 119 Guardian Dragon Magician
In response to Rafael's question, Yugi explained, "Destroyed [Macaron Marshmallon] can split and revive."
"If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect, Special Summon up to two [Macaron Marshmallon] cards other than yourself from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard."
"However, the effect of this card name can only be used once per turn."
Rafael snorted coldly, "Hmph, a monster that can keep splitting and resurrecting, huh? As a shield monster, it's quite excellent. It's really troublesome."
"But once I have more than three monsters, [Macaron Marshmallon] can't handle it."
So he raised his arm and shouted, "Go! [Guardian Grall] Attack! Decisive assault!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Grall rushed over and threw a punch at a Macaron Marshmallon.
Bang--!
Now there's only one Macaron Marshmallon left on the Yugi.
"Reduce my offerings...?"
He shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
"Now it's my turn, draw a card!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→7]
Looking at the card he drew, Yugi's eyes narrowed. "Here it comes!"
"I didn't expect to get it so quickly, but now is not the time to use it, AIBO."
"Yes, I know."
After responding, the Yugi player put down the card.
He then picked up a card from his left hand and slammed it onto the Duel Disk, saying, "I summon [Guardian Dragon Magician] in Defense Position."
Buzz--!
With a flash of light, a warrior wielding a long spear and clad in dragon armor was projected.
[Guardian Dragon Magician: Defense 1300]
[SoUSuO:■∝si§°0≯Goto Game Hand Card: 7→6]
"Activate the ability the moment [Guardian Dragon Magician] appears!"
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can discard 1 card from your hand to activate this effect. Add 1 [Polymerization] Normal Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
"I discard [Dark Magician] and add [Magical Fusion] from my deck to my hand."
You might find this strange, since [Magical Fusion] isn't a [Polymerization] Spell Card, so why can it be searched?
The reason for this is that the spelling of this card is Magicalize Fusion, which means "magical Polymerization," so it can be searched by the effects of Dragon Magician.
At this point, after Yugi out a card, he continued, "Next, I'll activate another ability of [Guardian Dragon Magician]."
You can activate this effect by revealing 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to your opponent. Special Defense Position 1 Polymerization Material Monster from your Graveyard, face-down in Defense Position, along with the name of that monster.
He pulled out a Fusion Monster and showed it to Rafael, saying, "The card I chose is [Super Magician Warrior - Chaos Ruler], and this card has [Dark Magician] written on it."
"Therefore, the monster I must resurrect is of course [the Dark Magician]."
With that, Yugi retrieved the Dark Magician he had just thrown into the graveyard and placed it face down on the Duel Disk.
"That concludes my turn."
After doing all this, the Yugi will choose to end the round immediately.
"Aren't you going to attack...?"
Rafael frowned slightly as he looked at the Yugi's setup.
Judging from the initial setup, I thought the Yugi was going to be about offense, but it turns out they're just strengthening their defense.
So he was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Since you're not coming over, then I'll launch the attack."
As he spoke, Rafael pulled out two cards.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Rafael's Hand Cards: 0 → 2]
After glancing at his hand, Rafael looked down at the box at his feet and said, "I'm activating the effect of the Continuous Spell [Tool Box] once again, selecting two Equip Spell from my deck."
As soon as he finished speaking, the box opened again and two cards flew out.
--[The Greatsword of Exorcism - Twilight], [The Guardian's Strength].
Bang--!
After the Yugi confirmed it, the [Guardian's Strength] shattered instantly, turning into fragments and disappearing.
[Rafael's hand cards: 2→3]
"The card that remains is [Greatsword of Exorcism - Twilight], which has the ability to negate the effect of an opponent's monster when the equipped monster destroys it by battle."
"The goal is probably to disable the [Macaron Marshmallon] effect, AIBO."
Both Yugi and King had seen through each other's intentions.
So, as Rafael added the card to his hand, Yugi immediately shouted, "The moment!"
"I activate the effect of the Trap Card [Solemn Judgment] from my Graveyard, banish this card from my Graveyard, and target [Macaron Marshmallon]."
"This round, the opponent can only choose [Macaron Marshmallon] as their attack target."
Seeing this, Rafael sneered and said, "Hmph, I was originally going to attack it anyway. Although I can't continue attacking after destroying it, of course I won't let it revive this time."
The Yugi shook its head and replied, "Too naive. My tactics are far more complex than that."
The next moment, he took a card from the graveyard and said, "I'll activate the effect of the Trap Card [High-Speed Draw] from the graveyard again."
If this card is in the Graveyard, during your opponent's Main Phase, you can target 1 monster you control; destroy that monster, and Set this card on your field. If this Set card leaves the field, banish it.
A face-down card appears in the back row of the Yugi.
"Trap Card that can be recycled? Another card sent to the graveyard by [Monster Reborn]... No, your purpose is..."
Rafael's pupils suddenly contracted; he immediately realized what the Yugi was about to do.
Seeing the other person's expression, the corners of Yugi's mouth involuntarily turned up.
"Looks like you guessed it... That's right, based on the effect of [High-Speed Draw], the monster I need to destroy is of course [Macaron Marshmallon]."
He said, pointing at the macarons.
"And the destroyed [Macaron Marshmallon] split and revived."
The Macaron Marshmallon then split into two again.
[Macaron Marshmallon: Defense 200] ×2
"Brilliant! This guy Yugi has made such perfect use of the graveyard cards, not only reviving two monsters but also sealing off the opponent's attacks."
"Game, it seems your skills haven't declined in the slightest. You truly are the only opponent I acknowledge."
Seto Kaiba said this with great pride, as if he himself were the one dueling.
In this round, Rafael could do nothing more.
So he gave up using the equipment card, then inserted a card into the Duel Disk, saying, "I'll set one more card face down, end of turn."
[Rafael's hand cards: 3 → 2]
Chapter 120 Super Magic Warrior - Chaos Ruler
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→7]
The Yugi puts down the card they just drew, then without thinking, picks up another card from their hand and inserts it into the Duel Disk.
"First, I activate the Continuous Spell [Dark King's Seal Sword] from my hand."
As part of the effect processing when this card is activated, if your opponent controls any face-up monsters, all of those monsters are changed to face-down Defense Position.
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 7→6]
"What!?"
Several jet-black demonic swords descended from the sky, sealing off Rafael and his monster.
The two monsters vanished uncontrollably, turning into two face-down cards, while the Equip Card in the back row disappeared as fragments.
"In this way, [Gravity Axe - Roar], which has lost its equipped target, is sent to the graveyard. Now I can change the monster's status at any time."
The Yugi then flips the face-down cards on the Duel Disk.
"Therefore, I will Flip Summon the [Dark Magician] in reverse!"
The face-down card in Yugi front row was immediately flipped over, and the Dark Magician appeared.
[Dark Magician: Attack Power 2500]
He then played his second Spell Card, "Target [Dark Magician], activate the Spell Card [Eye of Timaeus]!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6 → 5]
"They've arrived!? The Legendary Dragon..."
Under Rafael's tense expression, a dark green dragon appeared in the sky above the Yugi; the Legendary Dragon had reappeared.
Seto Kaiba crossed his arms, observing the dragon before him with great interest. "Hmph, so this is the Legendary Dragon from the Yugi? Let me see just how powerful it is..."
At this moment, Yugi pointed at the Dark Magician and said, "[Eye of Timaeus]'s effect is to Fusion Summon Monster that has that card name listed as Polymerization Material by Polymerization one [Dark Magician] Fusion Monster."
