Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Meanwhile, the "Silent Swordsman LV7" that had withstood the scorching flames in the previous round and steadily protected Yu Xi let out a painful scream, and was eventually burned to ashes by the raging flames.

"This is the power of the 'Flame King'..."

Chapter 253 Fierce Clash

When they were transported here, the OCG environment of Yuki's world was dominated by "Flame King".

However, due to his studies and other reasons, You Xi never actually fought him; he had only heard of his great reputation.

Now, he finally understood from his own experience why the once weak and insignificant "Flame King" was able to do this.

Being able to unleash five monsters in one go during the opponent's turn, even if most of them are low-level monsters, is still a considerable number. And these monsters aren't just for show.

"When either 'Flame King Beast Ganesh' or 'Flame King Beast Hanuman' has an effect that negates the activation of a monster or Spell/Trap Card and destroys one FIRE monster in your hand or on the field. And, I probably don't need to say anything more, Yuuki. Besides these two, you'll also have to face my Continuous Spell."

Having roughly understood that both sides had a great deal of information about each other's decks, Yan Xiao, standing leisurely behind his group of monsters, spoke without any concealment.

His backrow card, "Sanctuary of the Fiery King," not only searches for "Island of the Fiery King," but also has another effect: when the opponent successfully Special Summons a monster, you can use a "Fiery King" monster on your field as material to Summon 1 FIRE Xyz Monster. "Fiery King Phoenix - Eternal Flame" is a full set of 3 cards in the Flame Sky deck.

After the "Silent Swordsman LV7" is eliminated, the "Sanctuary of the Flame King" can function normally.

This means that after one strange effect and one demonic trap, Yu Xi will have to face another "black hole" clearing.

This match may not be as spectacular as some other decks or show matches, but it certainly deserves to win.

However, Youxi was not intimidated by this grim situation.

"Even so, there's still a way to deal with it. Go back to the Main Phase, activate the effect of 'Super Warrior's Soul' in the Graveyard, banish this card from the Graveyard, and add 'Dark Knight' from your Deck to your hand. Then discard 1 card from your hand to Special Summon 'Apprentice Magician of Fantasy'."

"Apprentice Fantasy Mage, Level 6/Dark/Mage" "ATK: 2000/DEF: 1700"

Being interrupted before officially entering the battle phase allowed Yuki to continue her main phase.

He slapped a card onto the duel disk, and a dark-skinned magical girl resembling Malik appeared playfully. (Tong)

"If 'Apprentice Magician of Fantasy' is successfully Special Summoned, you can add 1 'Dark Magician' from your Deck to your hand. Then, banish 'DARK Knight of Twilight' and 'LIGHT Silent Swordsman LV7' from your Graveyard to Special Summon 'Chaos Wizard'!"

"Chaos Wizard, Level 6/Dark/Mage" "ATK: 2300/DEF: 2000"

The souls of light and darkness created a chaotic field, from which a mage clad in dark robes and with an exceptionally sinister laugh descended.

“This monster…” Yan Xiao frowned.

Yu Xi said in a deep voice, "According to the effect of 'Knight of the Night,' if a monster is banished from the game, I can add 1 Ritual Monster from my Deck to my hand. Then, I can activate the effect of 'Chaos Wizard' once per turn, banishing 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. During the turn this effect is activated, it cannot attack. Banish 'Flame King Beast Ganesha'!"

"Then activate the effect of 'Flame King Ganesha'."

Seeing the "Chaos Wizard" cross his arms and unleash chaos magic in their direction, Yan Xiao spoke up at the right moment, using a wall of exploding flames to stop the attack.

"Destroy 'Flame Queen' to negate its effect. Then, because the monster is destroyed by the effect, Special Summon 'True Flame King' from your hand, and add 1 'Flame King' Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

"It's not over yet!"

The failure of "Chaos Wizard" was expected. Yu Xi remained calm and immediately launched his next move.

"Using two Level 6 monsters on the field to construct a network of overlapping light, the girl of yesteryear will grow into a powerful witch! Xyz Summon, Rank 6, 'Eye-Catching Magical Girl'!"

"Eye-Catching Magical Girl, Rank 6/Dark/Magician/Xyz" "ATK: 2400/DEF: 1000"

"2 six-star mage-type monsters"

As the nebula vortex unfolded, the "Apprentice Magician of Fantasy" and the "Chaos Wizard" transformed into purplish-black energy beams that surged into it. Amidst the explosive nebula effects, a mature woman in a jet-black magic robe appeared before everyone.

"It's this guy!"

Upon seeing the "Magic Girl" appear, Ranpo Jonouchi, who was watching from the audience, immediately shouted out.

He had seen Yuki use this Xyz Monster during a private duel with him before. Naturally, Yan Xiao would know this as well.

"Looks like I have no choice but to use this move. If 'Eye-Catching☆Magic Girl' is successfully Special Summoned, the effect of 'Teostra's Sanctuary' will activate! Construct a network of overlapping light with 'Teostra's Divine Beast Roc Phoenix' and 'Sacred Teostra's Roc Phoenix,' and soar once more, 'Teostra's Divine Roc Phoenix - Eternal Flame'!"

Golden flames raged and burned, and the giant birds with the same name and the same origin merged a second time in the nebula vortex and were reborn.

The super-sized divine bird unleashed light and heat without restraint, burning everything around it to ashes.

"If 'Eye God' is successfully Xyz Summoned, all other monsters on the field are destroyed!"

Faced with this golden flame, "Eye-Staring Magical Girl" didn't fare much better than "Isolde" and the others; both were reduced to ashes the instant they came into contact with the flame.

"But in doing so, you've dispelled your own 'Teammon Hanuman'."

After using "Chaos Wizard" and "Apprentice Magician of Illusion" to force out Yanxiao's interference twice, Youxi was finally able to proceed normally.

He will flip the cards retrieved using "Knight of the Night" to reveal them.

"Activate the effect of 'Chaotic Fantasy Magician': Add 'Magician's Wand' from your Deck to your hand, and return 1 card to the top of your Deck. Normal Summon 'Magician's Wand', and add 'Dark Magician's Ritual' from your Deck to your hand. Then activate 'Dark Magician's Ritual': Perform a Fusion Summon using 'Dark Magician' as material, using this card's effect."

"Judging from this... they're probably going to fuse with that monster. Let's activate the Continuous Trap: 'Flame Cannon Magazine'!"

Yan Xiao tapped the Duel Disk with his finger, and the face-down card beneath his feet immediately stood up.

【Flaming Cannon Magazine (Continuous Trap): This effect can only be activated during your or your opponent's Main Phase. Send 1 "Volcano" card from your hand to the Graveyard, and draw 1 card from your Deck.】

Discard "Volcano Bomb" from your hand and draw 1 card from your deck.

"The 'Dark Magician' and the 'Magician's Staff' fuse, a fusion summoning, be born! 'Grand Magister - Dark Magician and Apprentice'!"

"Super Archmage - Dark Magician Apprentice, Level 8/Dark/Mage/Fusion" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 2300"

Yu Xi and Yan Xiao's operation declarations rang out one after another, and the fused light bloomed in front of Yu Xi.

The "Magician's Staff," which was originally a monster made from the "Black Magician's" staff, explodes again into a ball of magic, and is reconstructed into a pretty magical girl in the fused spiral effect.

The authentic "Black Magician Girl" stands side by side with her respected master.

"Then activate the ritual magic: 'Sprout of a Super Warrior'!"

Just as the "Dark Magician and His Apprentice" had secured their positions, Yuki played another card from his hand: "This card is a Ritual Spell specifically for the 'Chaos Soldier' ​​Ritual Monster. After dedicating enough Levels, it can Ritual Summon the 'Chaos Soldier' ​​monster."

"But you only have one 'Silent Swordsman Zero' left in your hand, right?"

Yan Xiao reminded him, "That monster is only a 4-star level. The ritual monster for 'Chaos Warrior' requires at least 8-star monsters as offerings, but that's not enough unless you also offer 'Dark Magician and Apprentice' as offerings."

But doing that would be putting the cart before the horse.

It would be better to just use the "Black Magic Ritual" to fuse with other powerful trump cards.

For example, "Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Rider"

"No, this ritual magic is a bit special."

Yuki replied, "Until the total level reaches 8 stars, I can use one LIGHT monster from my hand and one DARK monster from my deck as ritual materials."

"Send the Level 4 LIGHT 'Silent Swordsman Zero' and the Level 4 DARK 'Chaos Messenger' from the deck to the Graveyard for Ritual Summoning! Transcend your primal form, awaken your true power, descend upon this land—'Super Warrior Chaos Warrior'!"

"Super Warrior Chaos Warrior, Level 8/Earth/Warrior/Ritual" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

The souls of light and darkness merged into the artwork of the ritual magic card, a sharp, cold glint dazzling everyone's eyes. The next moment, a warrior in silver and red armor stood proudly before Yuki, silent and taciturn, his entire body and even his weapon exuding a formidable fighting spirit.

And at Youxi's command, he immediately raised his blade and aimed it at the golden divine bird burning wildly in the sky.

"The effect of 'Super Magus - Dark Magician Master and Apprentice' activates! When a Spell/Trap Card's effect is activated, I can draw 1 card from my Deck. If that card is a Quick-Play Spell or Trap Card, I can Set it on the field and activate it that turn. Then, I enter the Battle Phase again."

After glancing at the card he had drawn, Yu Xi placed it into the Duel Disk and exclaimed, "Super Warrior Chaos Warrior attacks 'Eternal Flame King Phoenix'! [Super Chaos Blade]!!"

An unparalleled blade of light rose from below, flying towards the divine bird, before crashing head-on into the blazing flames.

Yan Xiao's eyes were also filled with fighting spirit: "My trump card won't lose to you, You Xi! 'Flame God King' counterattacks, [The Ferocious Roar of Blazing Flames]!"

Accompanied by a loud bird song, "Ember King" flapped its wings and swooped down from the sky, heading straight for "Super Warrior Chaos Warrior".

The strongest warrior, whose blade light was so sharp it could cleave heaven and earth, showed no sign of backing down even when blocked by the golden flames. He raised his blade once more and clashed fiercely with the "Flame God King".

— Destroyed by "Eternal Flame - Great Roc Phoenix".

—Destruction by "Super Warrior Chaos Warrior".

If their attack power is equal, the result will be mutual destruction.

The clash between the strongest warrior and the God of Flames brought a breathtaking visual feast to many viewers. Amidst the golden flames flying all over the sky, a warrior who was slightly different from the "Super Warrior Chaos Warrior" but still showed the same style emerged from the flames.

"If 'Super Warrior Chaos Warrior' is destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon 1 'Dark Knight Gaia' monster from your Deck, hand, or Graveyard. Come forth, 'Dark Knight Gaia Warrior'!"

"Dark Knight Gaia Warrior, Level 8/Dark/Warrior" "ATK: 2600/DEF: 2100"

"Captain Yanxiao, you have no monsters on your field now. I'll attack directly with 'Dark Knight Gaia Warrior'!"

"No monsters? I don't think so."

Pressing their advantage, Youxi naturally wouldn't let Yanxiao's wide-open defense slip by. But facing the oncoming "Gaia," Yanxiao calmly swung his arm and flipped the card over.

Trap Card activated: "Volcanic Eruption!"

[Volcanic Eruption (Normal Trap): Add 1 "Volcano" monster from your Deck to your hand or Special Summon it, ignoring its Summoning conditions. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect return to your hand during the End Phase.]

"Arise from your deck and protect me! Special Summon 'Volcano Demon'!"

"Volcano Demon, Level 8/Fire/Demon" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 1800"

Just as its name suggests, it resembles a volcanic eruption.

A towering pillar of fire roared up behind Yan Xiao, spewing molten lava like rain in all directions. Amidst that apocalyptic rain of fire, a demon, its body engulfed in flames and its blood flowing with molten lava, made a terrifying entrance, howling as it entered the fray.

With Yan Xiao losing his trump card, it became the only barrier protecting him.

"It's the 'Volcano Demon'...!"

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at the Flame Demon before her, and Yu Xi immediately realized that something was wrong.

"The effect of 'Volcano Demon'! During your opponent's Battle Phase, all monsters on their field must attack it. Don't even think about running away, Yuuki!"

Amidst the demon's roar, the unexpected event caused the "Gaia Warrior," who had intended to cease attacking, to suddenly find herself unable to control her body, lunging straight at the "Volcano Demon." She was then grabbed by the latter's claws and melted and vaporized by the scorching molten lava.

—Destruction by "Dark Knight Gaia Warrior".

[Yu Xi's LP: 8000 → 7600]

"Alright, one taken care of. Next up, it's that guy's turn."

Not satisfied with killing the "Gaia Warrior", Yan Xiao's gaze fell on another monster of You Xi.

"Because of the effect of 'Volcano Demon,' let 'Super Magister - Black Magician and Apprentice' attack 'Volcano Demon'!"
