Chapter 309 The Evil God Descends, the Child's Play is Over (Combined Chapter)
"What I'm going to steal is the 'Silent Dead' from the Seahorse Graveyard!"
The sly tomb raider, wielding a Luoyang shovel, immediately burrowed into Seto Kaiba's grave and pulled out a card.
The president of Kaiba Corporation had veins throbbing on his forehead: "You bastard!"
Jonouchi chuckled, "I activate the effect of [Silent Dead]! Special Summon a Normal Monster from my Graveyard in Defense Position!"
"Rise, Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my graveyard!"
The black dragon roared and burst forth from the graveyard, its imposing presence making the city seem even more majestic.
[Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Defense 2000]
"Next up is this card!"
Jonouchi draws a card from his hand: "Legendary Dragon! [Hermes' Claw]!"
Wang Yang looked at Jonouchi with some surprise, his face showing approval: "Jonouchi—I didn't expect you to be the first to send out the legendary dragon?"
Seto Kaiba gritted his teeth in resentment: "Mediocre—"
Jonouchi shouted triumphantly, "[Hermes' Claw], merge with [Red-Eyes Black Dragon]!"
One of the three legendary dragons appeared, roared, and the two dragons merged, transforming into a...
sword.
"Fusion Summon, appear! Level 7 [Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword]!"
Its appearance is very abstract, and its symbolic meaning is somewhat similar to the hook sword of the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] floating on the field.
[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2400, Fusion Monster.]
This is also the ability of the legendary dragon in Jonouchi's possession: to turn monsters into equipment.
Just like Yami Yugi's effect is to fuse with the Dark Magic deck, and Kaiba's effect is to turn Trap Cards into powerful monsters, each Legendary Dragon has a different effect.
Jonouchi rubbed his nose and grinned smugly: "When I activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword], and successfully Special Summon it, I equip this card as an Equip Card to another monster on the field, increasing its ATK by 1000!"
It's worth mentioning that this card's effect of becoming an equipment is a mandatory effect; if you don't have any monsters on your field, you can activate it even if you equip it to an opponent's monster.
This card will not become an Equip Card unless neither player has any other monsters on their field.
"I'm equipping my [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon] on the field!"
The Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword and the Red-Eyes Dark Dragon stared at each other in silence.
No, have you considered how a dragon would wield a sword?
In the end, the two variants of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon reconciled, and the Red-Eyes Dark Dragon opened its mouth and bit down on the Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword.
[Red-Eyes Dark Dragon, Attack Power 2700 → Attack Power 3700]
"Attack power 3700?"
Honda exclaimed in surprise, "Jonouchi has become quite formidable!"
"It's not over yet!"
Jonouchi shouted triumphantly, "Monsters equipped with the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword] gain 500 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster on both players' fields and in their Graveyards!"
"I have [Dark Dragon] and [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon] on my field, [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] in my graveyard, [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] on Kaiba's field, and three White Dragons in his graveyard!"
"There are eight dragons in total, so the attack power of [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon] will increase by 4000 points!"
[Red-Eyes Dark Dragon, Attack Power 3700 → Attack Power 7700]
"Attack power 7700!?"
Honda's voice trembled slightly; "This, is this really the level of attack power that Jonouchi could achieve?"
King Yu excitedly pumped his fist; "Well done, Jonouchi! Bring Kagura back with us!"
Kaiba's president: "Mediocre... Ha, he's just borrowing my favor."
Jonouchi was in high spirits and didn't care about what the club president said. He shouted with a somewhat exaggerated expression, "See, Kagura? I've grown up incredibly fast while you were away!"
"So, it's my turn to defeat you this time! Initiate the battle!"
Jonouchi extended a finger, pointing it at Kagura Kiryu: "First, the [Dark Dragon]! Attack Kagura directly!"
The skeletal dragon, now fused with a demon, opened its mouth and spewed out black flames, the scorching flames attacking Kagura.
Kagura's face was illuminated by the firelight, but her expression remained unchanged. She waved her hand to activate the last face-down card in the back row: "Continuous Trap, [Eternal Soul] activated!"
A stone tablet radiating ancient energy slowly rose, its pale blue glow depicting a simple image of the Black Magician.
"The Eternal Soul is an ancient stone tablet inscribed with the image of the Dark Magician, possessing the ability to provide the Dark Magician with a source of power."
Kagura said calmly, "You can only activate one of its effects per turn. I'll activate its second effect to Special Summon 1 Dark Magician from my hand or Graveyard."
"I Special Summon the Dark Magician from the Graveyard! Come, my servant!"
This monster was one of the five cards sent to the graveyard from the previous "Needle Worm's Nest" expansion. Kagura never used it because the side effects of "Eternal Soul" being removed from the field were too strong.
Now that there are no monsters on the field, it's the perfect time to use this card.
A black magician in a pure black robe and gray skin appeared kneeling on one knee, respectfully bowing to Kagura Kiryu, who exuded a kingly aura. He then slowly stood up to face the enemy, his hands crossed in a defensive posture, his expression solemn but calm.
Just like the King and the "Black Magician" that Mahad transformed into, the "Black Magician" born from Kagura's heart also showed her respect and loyalty to him from the bottom of her heart.
[Dark Magician, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Magician Type, Defense 2100, Normal Monster.]
"Has he arrived? The Dark Magician!"
The three combatants, gazing at the familiar monster, felt a moment of disorientation. It held so many unforgettable memories, but now, they were true enemies, fighting for the sake of the entire world.
Jonouchi gritted his teeth: "Continue the attack! [Dark Dragon], attack [Black Magician]!"
The Dark Dragon's attack power was a full 3200 points, which was clearly beyond the ability of the Dark Magician to defend against. The magician quickly turned into specks of light, and the elf entered the stone slab to recuperate.
"Then comes the [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon]! It attacks Kagura directly!"
"Black Flame Bullet!!!"
With slightly red eyes, Shironuchi shouted loudly.
The darkened dragon opened its mouth, and the black dragon sword it held was also burning with black flames. As it spewed out black flames, the black dragon sword rushed out with the force.
The Dragon Sword, like an arrow about to pierce the Demon King's heart, pierced through the flames and hurtled towards Kagura.
If this sword strikes, Kagura's health will be instantly depleted.
"Kagura!"
Kyoko couldn't help but cry out in worry, and the others also had extremely complicated feelings. Although they knew that this was also to save Kagura, it was still—heartbreaking.
However, just half a second before the shot was hit, a slight smile suddenly appeared on Kagura's calm lips.
A phantom suddenly appeared, firmly blocking the black dragon sword that was charging up, isolating all the damage at a distance not far from Kagura.
Jonouchi looked over in surprise and saw that it was a small kite with big eyes. Then Kagura's slightly amused voice came from behind: "The effect of the [Kite Machine] in the graveyard: When the opponent attacks directly, banish this card from the graveyard, and the damage you take from that battle becomes 0."
The cards in the graveyard had already popped out. Jonouchi gritted his teeth, thinking, "Damn machine! If it weren't for this..."
Meanwhile, Wang Yang and the president suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! No wonder there's this 'Kite Machine' card among the five cards in 'Bitter Choice'. They had already prepared a backup plan all along."
"Continue with your turn."
The barely perceptible smile in Kagura's voice had vanished, and she looked coldly at Jonouchi: "If you don't continue, I'll begin my turn."
Jonouchi looked at his hand and shoved all three cards into the Duel Disk: "I'm setting three cards face down. Turn over."
.
The three cards were covered up, and everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard.
Jonouchi declared the end of the turn. According to the order, the next turn will be Kagura's turn, which means that Kagura and Kiryu will gain the right to attack.
Despite being outnumbered three to one and having an overwhelming advantage, everyone still felt a sense of unease, as if they were the weaker party.
Whether it's the impenetrable defense line from the beginning or Kagura's solo defeat of the powerful Dartz, it's clear that not only have they grown, but Kagura herself has as well.
"My turn, draw a card."
Kagura drew a card, glanced at it calmly, and then said, "Activate the effect of [Psycho-Helmet] (original card) in the Graveyard. While this card is in the Graveyard, activate it during your Standby Phase and Special Summon it from the Graveyard in Attack Position."
I Special Summon three Psychic Helmets from the Graveyard.
Three blue-gray mechanical helmets appeared on the field, and President Kaiba's expression gradually turned serious: "Tsk, was the last [Psycho-Helmet] discarded to the graveyard as a COST for [Rainbow Life]?"
Wang Yang's expression also darkened: "Three monsters that were resurrected in the graveyard during the preparation phase?"
He vaguely sensed something, and his bad premonition grew stronger.
Kagura held up the card she had drawn: "Spell Card, [Pot of Greed], draw two cards from your deck."
Two cards were drawn from the deck, and the expressions of Yugi, the president, and Jonouchi suddenly changed. What was this terrifying aura that sent chills down their spines?
Kagura inserts a card into the Duel Disk: "Continuous Spell Card, [Treasure of the Underworld]: When you Tribute Summon two or more monsters, you draw two cards from your Deck."
"Preparation complete, next—"
Kagura glanced indifferently at the three unpleasant faces, held the card between her fingertips, and raised it high: "I offer the three [Psychic Helmets] on the field as sacrifices for a Superior Summon!"
The three helmets vanished as offerings, and a chaotic rift tore open in the sky, from which a gigantic hand emerged, emanating a chilling aura.
"Awaken the fear in people's hearts! Descend! My new servant, [Evil God. Source of Fear]!"
The arm gripped the wall of the Atlantis ruins, and its entire body emerged from the gap, revealing a green-skinned, muscular demon hundreds of meters tall. The skeletal wings and white bone arm armor behind it added to its terrifying appearance.
On its ferocious head, two white bone horns twisted and grew, with sharp teeth protruding. It looked more like a demon than any other demon, extremely standard.
[Evil God. Source of Fear, Level 10, God Attribute, Evil God Beast Race, Attack Power 4000, Effect Monster.]
"Evil God————"
Everyone's legs trembled uncontrollably, as if they were locked alone in a pitch-black house when they were children. The unknown fear that a monster might be lurking in the darkness at any moment sent chills down their spines and made them inexplicably panicked.
"What kind of monster is this? It's even more terrifying than a phantom god!"
The God of Gamblers, terrified of all supernatural phenomena, felt his legs go weak and almost wanted to collapse to the ground. This overwhelming, inexplicable fear eroded everyone's hearts, making them almost lose the courage to continue their hostility.
Rafiru gritted his teeth and shouted, "This is an evil god! The [Evil God: Source of Fear] awakens the deepest, most primal fears within people. You must overcome it with all your might!"
Kagura chuckled and placed her finger on the deck: "I activate the effect of [Treasure of the Underworld], drawing two cards from the deck."
Kagura pulled out two cards and looked at the three of them with a hint of disdain: "Heh, is that all?"
"Let me tell you, the special effect of [Evil God, Source of Fear] is that as long as this card is on the field, the ATK and DEF of all monsters on the field are halved!"
"What?!"
Wang Yang looked at the monsters on the field in shock. All the monsters were crouching or lying on the ground, looking extremely weak.
[Magnetic Warrior. Electromagnetic War God, Attack Power 3500 → Attack Power 1750]
[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Attack Power 4500 → Attack Power 2250]
[Dark Dragon, Attack Power 3200 → Attack Power 1600]
[Red-Eyes Dark Dragon, Attack Power 7700 → Attack Power 3850]
"Such a powerful effect!?"
King Yu's gaze was extremely solemn, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. With just one card, he had reversed the situation, turning the monster with the highest attack power on the field into [Evil God: Source of Fear].
"Then let's make you even more desperate."
Kagura gave a mocking sneer: "【Evil God. Source of Fear】As an evil god beast race, it has the same resistance as the phantom god."
"Unaffected by Trap Cards, non-forced exit monster effects only last for one turn and cannot be affected by Level 10 monsters."
The following are the monster effects!
"What?!"
Jōnei was shocked and took two steps back: "How are we supposed to fight like this?"
He was filled with regret. He should have equipped the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword] to the [Dark Dragon], which would have given it an attack power of 8200, or even 4100 if the power was halved.
This would exceed the 4000 attack power of [Evil God. Source of Fear].
But he soon had no chance to regret it; Kagura continued casting: "Field spell, [Orichalcum Barrier]!"
The card slots in the arena popped open, and as the cards were inserted, a terrifying aura was released around him.
Kagura's eyes flashed red, and a six-pointed star appeared on her forehead.
He curled his lips into a wicked smile: "Challengers, time for playing house is over!"
"From this moment forward, it's the ultimate game where life and death are at stake!"
