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

"So I'm going to activate the effect of the Trap Card again: 'Memories of the Destroyer Sword'!"

[You can activate this effect by banishing this card from your Graveyard. Banish the Fusion Material Monsters specified by "Dragon Destroyer - Swordsman of Destruction" from your Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 1 of those Fusion Monsters from your Extra Deck.]

"The 'Memories of the Destruction Sword'? A card discarded by 'Dial Erasure'!"

You Xi realized what was going on in an instant, but it was too late.

“That’s correct. You weren’t the only one who could take advantage of that opportunity, Yu Xi.”

Atem chuckled softly, then said seriously, "Excluding the 'Swordsman of Destruction' and 'Destruction Sword - Magic Destruction Sword' from the graveyard, Fusion Summon! Birth, the strongest dragon slayer, 'Swordsman of Dragon Destruction - Swordsman of Destruction'!!"

"Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman, Level 8/Light/Warrior/Fusion" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 2500"

"【Destroyer Swordsman】+Dragon Monster"

Last time it was the deck, this time it's the graveyard.

The fusion effects are explosive. Bathed in the power of the dragon, the "Destruction Swordsman" who jumped out of the graveyard has been transformed into a brand new form.

That was a different kind of absolute stance against dragons, unlike "Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Paladin".

A terrifying pressure emanated from him, instantly immobilizing all of Yu Xi's monsters.

"The ATK and DEF of 'Dragon Destroyer Swordsman' increase by 1000 for each Dragon-Type monster on your opponent's field or in their Graveyard. Also, all Dragon-Type monsters on your opponent's field are changed to Defense Position and cannot have their effects activated."

Atem stood calmly behind the "Swordsman of Dragon Destruction".

"What a pity, Yuuki. If you can't attack, the effect of 'Illusionary Magician' is useless, and with 'Broken Dragon' and 'Dragon Destroyer Swordsman' on your field, all the monster effects on your field will be sealed."

"You're really impressive, Mr. Atum."

You Xi smiled helplessly.

"I was hoping that this attack would at least force out any 'Super Electromagnetic Turtle' you might have."

However, Atum's tactics were different from what he had imagined.

In that case, we'll just have to look for another opportunity.

"Set 3 cards to the back row, end the turn."

"During my End Phase, I activate the second effect of 'Ace Knight,' returning 'Queen Knight' to the Deck and this card to my hand. Then it's my turn—draw!"

After the rounds changed and Yushi covered most of his hand, Atum regained control of the duel.

After glancing at the card he had drawn, he immediately said, "Watch out, Yuuki. This turn, I'm going to launch my full-scale attack. I'll activate the ① effect of 'Eternal Soul,' adding 'Dark Magician' from my deck to my hand, and then immediately activate this spell card!"

"When you control 'Dark Magician', destroy all Spell & Trap Cards on your opponent's field!"

Chapter 99 The Call of God!

Using a Continuous Trap, Atem directly retrieved the Spell Card exclusive to "Dark Magician".

Similar to the "Black Burst Magic" that Yuki once used, it can unleash power comparable to "Harpie's Feather Duster" under certain conditions.

Dark magic exploded from the tip of the "Black Magician's" staff, blasting towards Yuki's position.

Under this magic missile, Yuki's monsters will not be harmed, but Gaika will not be spared.

Having lost those face-down cards, Yushi, with only one card left in his hand, is clearly no match for Atem, and the battle will be over at this stage.

But just as the pitch-black magic missile was about to crash down from the sky and bring Yuki annihilation, a mirror held by a fairy suddenly appeared in front of the magic missile.

The collision between the magic missile and the crystal-clear mirror did not result in the expected explosion. Instead, the magic missile was completely sucked into the mirror as if it had been submerged in water.

Meanwhile, the "Dark Magician" card was also reflected in the mirror.

"This is……"

Seeing this familiar yet unbelievable scene, Atum raised an eyebrow slightly and quickly understood what was going on.

"Trap Card activated—'Mirror of the Spirits'!"

In front of Yuki, a face-down card had appeared out of nowhere. It was this card that stopped the black magic attack that could have ended everything.

"Based on this card's effect, I can negate the effects of Normal Spells or Quick-Play Spells. Therefore, 'Dark Magician' will fail to activate and cannot destroy my backrow."

Similar to "Thief Chestnut", this version of "Mirror of Spirits" also possesses far greater power than its counterpart in the OCG.

The negation of spell cards is only one aspect; more important than the "negation" is the subsequent "absorption."

"Furthermore, 'Mirror of the Spirits' can remain on the field, and you can send it to the Graveyard at any time to directly use the power of the spell cards it negated."

Atum, in place of Yuxi, explained the effects that were left unmentioned in the latter part.

"It has now absorbed 'Dark Magic,' which means you can unleash this power at any time to destroy all the Spell & Trap Cards on my field."

"exactly."

Yu Xi said, "Eternal Soul has a guaranteed effect that destroys all monsters on your field after leaving the field, so the current 'Mirror of Spirits' can also be used as 'Lightning Strike'."

"So, Yuki, do you want to use this card's effect now?" Atum asked Yuki. "I have four monsters on the field. Using it now could yield great results."

"……Do not."

After thinking for a few seconds, You Xi shook his head.

"I will use this card when the time is right."

Even if Atum were to completely destroy the board at this moment, he would still have a full seven cards in his hand, allowing him to quickly regroup. Rather than seeking immediate gains, Yuxi preferred to use these restrained mines to hinder Atum's offensive strategy.

"Is that so? Since you're not going to use it, Yu Xi, then I'll continue with my turn."

Atum draws one card from his full hand and plays it.

"—I activate the Spell Card 'Wormhole' from my hand."

[Wormhole (Normal Spell): Select 1 monster you control and banish it until your opponent's next Standby Phase. When banished, the selected monster's Monster Zone cannot be used.]

"Use this card's effect to send 'Destroyer Dragon' to another dimension."

An irresistible suction force was released from the magic card, and the Tyrannosaurus Beast that it captured was completely swallowed by the card.

Yu Xi: "Using 'Wormhole' to avoid the side effects of trap cards?"

The "Destroyer of the Swordsman" Special Summoned by the effect of "Destroyer of the Swordsman's Cradle" would normally be destroyed at the end of Atem's turn, but this debuff was removed after it was banished by "Wormhole".

"But as 'Destroyer of Orders' leaves the field, the Types of all the monsters on my field will revert to their original state. 'Dragon Destroyer' will lose ATK and will no longer be able to restrict my monster effects."

The "Illusionary Magician" has regained her power and once again become Yuuki's strongest shield on the field. Simple combat alone will not be enough to overcome this obstacle.

However, Atum didn't seem to care about this.

"That level of defense is no match for you. Now, it's time for the main character to make his appearance—I'm going to offer up the three monsters on the field as sacrifices!"

"What?! Three monsters as sacrifices?!"

Upon hearing this, You Xi's pupils suddenly contracted.

The summoning conditions are so familiar that they immediately bring to mind some special being.

"Is it coming so soon?!"

"After all, this is a trial of the gods, Yuki. If the protagonist doesn't appear, how can it be considered a trial?"

Atum laughed and raised his arm, golden lightning coiling around "Dragon Destroyer Swordsman," "Black Magician," and "Magician's Staff," as thunder roared into the sky.

Behind him, the eyes of the deity enshrined in the three massive stone slabs shone brightly.

Accompanied by a burst of lightning, an immense pressure suddenly enveloped the entire area.

"Whoa! What's that?! Something's coming!"

"When the sky roars with chaos, gather the ancient grimoires from within the chain, their power limitless! When good and evil collide, begin the ritual to summon the judge of hell! Descend—"

Goosebumps rose all over his body, and the Black Witch's shocked and panicked screams rang in his ears. Yu Xi couldn't help but squint as his eyes were stung by the intense lightning.

As the strong wind blew, the lightning gradually dissipated, and the entity that existed within it revealed its form.

Its body was crimson, with two mouths, one above the other, and a deep blue crystal embedded in the top of its forehead. Sharp claws slammed into the stone floor, creating arcs of electricity.

"—Summoning the Sky Dragon of Osiris!"

"Osiris the Sky Dragon, Level 10 / Divine / Mythical Beast" "ATK: X000 / DEF: X1000"

"This card's Normal Summon cannot be negated; it must be Tributed with 3 monsters to be Tribute Summoned."

"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!"

Diabelstar, who had finally transformed from the Black Dragon Girl back into the Black Witch, stared blankly at the crimson dragon god behind Atum, her lips twitching, and she couldn't help but utter a curse.

Did You Xi call her out to go head-to-head with this kind of thing? What a joke.

"The attack and defense of 'Sky Dragon Osiris' are tied to my hand."

Atum slightly raised his left hand, indicating that he had plenty of cards in his hand.

"Now I have 5 cards in my hand, so its attack power becomes 5000. In addition, the three Egyptian God cards share common resistances: they cannot be targeted by card effects, cannot be destroyed or banished by card effects other than monsters, and are only affected by spell cards activated this turn and monster effects of level 10 or higher for 1 turn."

"Therefore, even the departure of 'Eternal Soul' couldn't affect 'Osiris' in the slightest. What a pity, Yuuki. If you had decisively used 'Mirror of the Spirit' to reflect 'Dark Magic' back then, I wouldn't have been able to gather the offerings needed to summon the god."

It is much weaker than all resistances, but it can still be considered a powerful resistance.

The sudden appearance of "Osiris the Sky Dragon" completely disrupted Yuki's plans.

Chapter 100 The Dark Witch: I've Endured Too Much

--outside world.

A golden circular array radiated light, enveloping Yuxi at the center, while Father Anderson presided over the ritual outside.

Xing Yewu looked down at her phone, her expression slightly surprised.

"Fifteen minutes have passed already. You Xijun has been holding on for so long."
