Chapter 91

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Rafael's hand cards: 1→3]

Without even looking, Rafael played the top card, "First, I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed], draw two cards from my deck."

At this moment, Yugi hurriedly shouted, "I've been waiting for you! The instant you activate your Spell Card, the effect of [Super Magician - Dark Magician and Apprentice] will activate, draw one card from your deck!"

"Hmph, so you've got the other Legendary Dragon yet...?"

""Fallen!!""

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→4]

[Rafael's hand cards: 3→4]

Looking at the newly drawn card, Rafael murmured, "It seems fate is tilting in my favor..."

He first placed the two cards in his left hand, then flipped the face-down cards on the Duel Disk.

"Since the seal on the [Dark King's Seal Sword] has been lifted, I will Flip Summon the [Summoner of the Weapon] in reverse."

With the flip of the card, the Summoner of the Weapon reappeared on his field.

[Summoner of the Weapon: Attack Power 1600 → 2100]

"And once again activate the special effect of [Summoner of the Weapon], adding [Guardian Alma] from the deck to your hand."

[Rafael's hand cards: 4→5]

After placing the retrieved card in your left hand, rotate another monster card.

"Then I will switch [Guardian Grall] to Defense Position."

[Guardian Grall: Defense 1000]

"This way I can activate the Equip Spell [Obstructing Star]. This card is equipped to a monster during the turn your monster changes from Attack Position to Defense Position."

[Rafael's hand cards: 5 → 4]

"At the same time, select one monster that your opponent controls. That monster cannot attack or change its battle position."

"I've chosen [Grand Archmage - Dark Magician and Apprentice]."

Rafael's preparations were now complete.

"I will change [Guardian Desceth] to Attack Position, and then I will Tribute all other monsters on my field except for it."

Bang bang--!

The two monsters exploded on their own.

The Yugi was immediately taken aback. "How could this be? You actually sent the monster to the graveyard yourself? This isn't like you at all."

Rafael ignored the other's reaction and continued, "Because two monsters were sent to the graveyard, [Guardian Desceth]'s attack power has increased by 1000 points."

[Guardian Desceth: Attack Power 3500 → 4500]

"Its attack power surpasses that of the [Spellbinding Dragon]."

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"Not only that, because [Guardian Grall] was destroyed, the Equip Spell [Obstructing Star] was sent to the graveyard. According to the effect of [Obstructing Star], the selected monsters are excluded."

"Disappear, [Grand Magus - Dark Magician and Apprentice]!"

As soon as Rafael finished speaking, a hole opened up beneath the feet of the Dark Magician and his apprentice, emanating a powerful suction force.

"Ah!"

The two, master and apprentice, were uncontrollably sucked in.

"Dark Magician Girl!!"

Unfortunately, it was too late; the Yugi couldn't stop it.

"Feel sorry..."

Seeing this, the Dark Magician Girl shook her head to tell him not to worry.

The two, master and apprentice, were then sucked in and disappeared from the Yugi's view.

Now only the Spellbinding Dragon and Dexterus remain facing off on the Yugi.

Rafael then pointed to the box at his feet and said, "Next up is the effect of [Tool Box] once per turn. This time, I've chosen these two cards."

--[Meteor Bow - Blazing Flame],[Twin Swords of Light - Thunderclap].

One card grants the equipped monster the ability to attack directly, while the other card grants the equipped monster the ability to attack multiple times.

Either card has the ability to instantly kill the Yugi, provided that there are no Trap Card in Yugi back row.

After the Yugi confirmed the information, [Meteor Bow - Blazing Flame] disappeared on its own.

"The card I left behind is [Twin Blades of Light - Thunderclap], so in exchange for sending one card from my hand to the graveyard, I equip this card. [Guardian Desceth]'s ATK is reduced by 500, and it can attack twice in the same battle."

Two rapiers appeared before the Fallen Angel, then merged into the scythe, making it even sharper.

[Guardian Desceth: Attack Power 4500 → 4000]

[Rafael's hand cards: 4 → 3]

"And because [Guardian Alma] was sent to the graveyard, her attack power increases by another 500 points."

[Guardian Desceth: Attack Power 4000 → 4500]

After finishing, Rafael waved his hand and shouted sharply, "I will pierce through the darkness in your heart, Desces, and cast all hatred upon it!"

"Attacking the [Spellbinding Dragon], Forbidden Requiem!"

Desceth gripped his scythe tightly with both hands, ready to strike.

The Yugi quickly pressed the button, "Don't forget my face-down card, the Trap Card [Divine Shield - Mirror Force -]!"

Hanoi's High Power was then unleashed, and a layer of colorful light enveloped the Spellbinding Dragon.

"It's no use, I already have a solution!"

"Counter Trap [Trap Interference Formation]: During the Battle Phase, negate and destroy the activation of one Trap Card!"

"Not good!!"

Desceston smashed through the light barrier, swung his scythe at the dragon's neck, and instantly beheaded it.

Bang bang bang--!

The dragon and the Dark Magician were shattered one after another.

"Mmm!!"

[Yugi Muto: LP2000→1200]

One more blow and the Yugi is over, but things are unlikely to be that simple.

The next moment, Yugi immediately shouted, "The other ability of the destroyed [Spellbinding Dragon] has been activated!"

If this card is destroyed, you can target 1 Spellcaster monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that Spellcaster monster.

"Rise, [Chaos Magician]!"

A beam of light instantly erupted beneath his feet, and as the light faded, the Chaos Magician appeared.

[Chaos Magician: Defense 2100]

"[The Chaos Magician], a powerful monster with the ability to directly destroy cards..."

"Then I forfeit Dexter's second attack. Round over."

Rafael simply chose to end the round.

Just kidding, with the [Seal of the Light Spirit Sword] around, how could a second attack possibly succeed?

With the Yugi's current remaining life points, there's just enough time to activate one more effect, which would trigger the Chaos Magician's effect and destroy a card.

It's not just because of Lacaza; more importantly, we can't let the Yugi figure out Desceth's hidden abilities too early, to prevent him from targeting Rafael's backcourt.

Chapter 127 Cutting Through the Darkness

"It's my turn again, time to draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→5]

After glancing at the card in his right hand, Yugi put it down without hesitation and played another card from his hand, saying, "I activate the Spell Card [Wormhole] from my hand."

Choose 1 monster you control and banish it until your next Standby Phase. When banished, the monster's Monster Zone slot cannot be used.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5 → 4]

Yugi pointed to the Chaos Magician in front of him and said, "The one I'm banishing is, of course, the only monster on my field, [Chaos Magician]."

"And because Spell Card was activated, the special effect of [Chaos Magician] was activated, destroying [Guardian Desceth]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chaos Magician summoned his wand, which floated in front of him.

A small magic circle reappeared, then released a blue light bullet, while the Chaos Magician vanished.

Bang--!

The light beam struck Desceth instantly and caused an explosion.

After the smoke cleared, its figure remained unharmed on Rafael's field.

"What?! What's going on?"

The Yugi's eyes widened in astonishment as it stared at the scene before it.

At this moment, Rafael raised his left hand and said, "When Desceth is destroyed, one card must be discarded as a replacement."

As he spoke, one of the cards in his hand was erased.

[Rafael's hand cards: 3 → 2]

"And because the monster card [Guardian Cester] was sent to the Graveyard, Dexter's ATK increases by 500 points."

[Guardian Desceth: Attack Power 4500 → 5000]

Upon seeing this, the Yugi player subconsciously frowned, "The substitution effect...?"

"This is troublesome, AIBO."

"Yes, but don't worry, we still have a chance." Qiu

The Yugi then places a card from its hand onto the Duel Disk, saying, "I summon [Magician of Black Chaos] from my hand."

After a flash of light on the card, a black-furred Kuriboh appeared, wearing a yellow headscarf, an eyepatch over its left eye, and a thief-like appearance.

[Magician of Black Chaos: Attack Power 1000] 4

"Flip one more card over, and my turn is over."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→2] Five

Although the Yugi has ended his turn, he still has things to do before the next turn.

"During the final phase, the special effect of [Magician of Black Chaos] activates!"

You can activate this effect by Tributing this card during the End Phase of the turn this card is summoned. Reveal the top 5 cards of your Deck. You can add 1 Spell/ Trap Card from them to your hand. Send the rest of your cards to the Graveyard.

"Trying to try your luck and get [Electromagnetic Turtle] sent to the graveyard!?"

This is the only Yugi plan Rafael can think of for now.

"Got it! By offering [Magician of Black Chaos] as a sacrifice, corruption has occurred!"

Five cards were drawn in one round of the Yugi.

After unfolding and confirming it, his pupils suddenly contracted; it was the card he needed.

He then picked out one of the cards and quietly put the rest into the graveyard.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]

"Looks like you didn't get the card you were hoping for."

"Then I'll take this battle!"

As he spoke, Rafael eagerly drew two cards from his deck.
