When a card game club is pulled into the Yu-Gi-Oh! world by the system

"Open the face down card, Continuous Trap [Eternal Soul] - One of this card's effects, which can only be used once per turn, choose one of two effects to activate."

●Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" from your hand or Graveyard.

● Add 1 "Dark Magician" or "Thousand Blades" from your deck to your hand.

"Special Summon 1 'Dark Magician' from your Graveyard. As long as this card is in your Spell & Trap Zone, 'Dark Magician' monsters in your Monster Zone are unaffected by your opponent's monster effects."

"Continuous Spell [Dark Magician Circle] - If you Normal or Special Summon 'Dark Magician' to your field, you can target 1 card your opponent controls. Banish that card. Banish Continuous Spell [Gladiator Repulsion Wave]."

That's how the AI ​​is designed; it will prioritize dealing with these kinds of problems.

The massive stone slab rose, and another dark magician leaped out, activating a dark magic circle. The power of magic tore through the dimensions, banishing the gladiator beast Vespasianus, which was unleashing its immense fighting spirit, to another dimension.

"Normal Summon 'Gladiator Beast Gunfight,' then activate the effect of the card 'Slave Tiger' in your hand—If you control a 'Gladiator Beast' monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand."

Sword Fighting Beast Gun Fighting

Star rating: 4

Attribute: Wind

Race: Birds and Beasts

Attack: 1500

Defense: 800

Gunslinger flapped his green wings, warily watching the three seemingly powerful mages on the opposing side.

The slave tiger, tamed by the gladiators, leaped out, its eyes now completely bloodshot.

"Activate another effect of [Slave Tiger]—You can Tribute this card to target 1 'Gladiator Beast' monster you control; return that 'Gladiator Beast' monster to its owner's Deck, and Special Summon 1 'Gladiator Beast' monster from your Deck. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is treated as if it were Special Summoned by the effect of a 'Gladiator Beast' monster."

"Special Summon [Gladiator Beast Augustus]!"

The slave tiger roared, and then the gun bucket that was still flying in the sky fell down and returned to the deck, because a big shot was coming.

Octavian Augustus, the first emperor of the Roman Empire.

Gladiator Augustus

Star rating: 8

Attribute: Dark

Race: Birds and Beasts

Attack: 2600

Defense: 1000

Here it comes, here it comes, the crucial operating point of the Gladiator Beast race, the ACE among ACEs.

The black armor was decorated with white patterns and was also adorned with bright red rubies.

Although it is a bird-beast, its incredibly thick and heavy tail doesn't look like what a bird-beast should have. A pair of sharp claws are attached to its wings, easily leading one to believe that this gladiator beast has four pairs of arms.

"Activate the effect of [Gladiator Beast Augustus] - When this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a "Gladiator Beast" monster: Special Summon 1 "Gladiator Beast" monster from your hand in Defense Position. The monster Special Summoned by this effect returns to its owner's Deck during the End Phase."

"The second Gladiator Beast Gunner in my hand to be Special Summoned".

The green-clad bird-beast warriors reappeared, respectfully landing behind Augustus.

"[Gladiator Beast Gunfight] effect activated—If this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a "Gladiator Beast" monster, target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field. Destroy that card."

"Destroy your perpetual trap [Eternal Soul]!"

The effect of 【Eternal Soul】 is very powerful, but it also has a significant side effect: if this face-up card leaves the field, all monsters on your field will be destroyed.

All that hard work to put on a show, and then it all vanishes in a single whirlwind. There's nowhere to even cry.

However, it is an expert-level AI, so we were prepared for it long ago.

"Open the face-down card, Quick-Play Spell [Dark Magician Enhancement] - This card applies different effects depending on the number of 'Dark Magician' and 'Dark Magician Girl' on either player's field or in their Graveyard."

"There are currently 2 Dark Magicians on the field. Therefore, this turn, you cannot activate the effects of your opponent's Spell/Trap Monsters in response to the activation of your own Spell/Trap Cards. Your Spell/Trap Cards will not be destroyed by your opponent's effects."

Chapter 270 Glory Belongs to the Sword Fighting Beast!

Thanks to the reader for pointing out the issue, there was a slight problem with the chapter about the fallen angels, but I won't modify it since it doesn't affect the game.

I suddenly realized that all the swapping and the extra money I'd spend would probably be enough to buy me a brand new (for me) PC with pretty good specs...

------

"It's a card designed to prevent damage... This is troublesome."

Normally, spell and trap cards wouldn't be destroyed this turn, and then [Eternal Spirit] would protect [Dark Magician] on the field...

This is troublesome...

The protective effect of Eternal Soul is so powerful; it seems I won't be able to deal with the opponent's monsters this turn. At most, I can take down one [Cosmic Sage].

[Dark Magician] cannot be destroyed in battle, otherwise [Eternal Spirit] will be Special Summoned from the Graveyard next turn, and [Dark Magic Circle] can banish another one...

"Activate the effect of [Magician's Staff] in the Graveyard - If this card is in the Graveyard, and you activate the effect of a Spell/Trap Card during your opponent's turn, you can Tribute 1 Spellcaster monster you control to activate this effect; add this card from the Graveyard to your hand."

"Limit down a [Dark Magician] on the field and add this card to your hand."

Okay, now you don't have to worry about that problem anymore.

I feel like I can't win this game; it seems there's something wrong with my setup...

How can we compensate for the lack of special recruitment points...?

Want to join the [Sword Fighter Beast Shield Fighter] and [Rescue Cat] factions?

Should we add that regular monster, and then use [Rough Man's Expectation] and [Rescue Rabbit]?

Or could we add something like "fusion recruitment" to facilitate quick manual fusion?

Oh, maybe we could try using [Elemental HERO Prism], special summon it with [Hero Arrival], then manually summon one, and immediately summon Caesar to destroy two...

Cao Gonggong's hand cards: 2

Although it can't destroy your card, I now have a good card in my hand that can deal with your monster.

"Entering battle phase—[Gladiator Beast Augustus] attacks [Cosmic Sage]!"

Suddenly, Eunuch Cao used the monster with the lower attack power to attack the one with the higher attack power.

However, AI is cold-blooded and ruthless, and won't cry out in alarm.

The Roman emperor charged forward fearlessly. Having been through countless battles, he naturally wouldn't lower his guard or hold back just because his opponent was a woman. He spotted her weakness and struck directly.

A sharp and impeccable strike.

However, the cosmic sage on the other side was, after all, a former cosmic queen, and battles are never simply a clash of weapons.

The energy, radiating starlight, irrationally blocked Augustus's strike, forcing him to retreat step by step.

The difference in strength... is quite significant...

"At this time, activate the effect of [Gladiator Beast Vespasianus] in your hand—this effect can be activated at the start of the Damage Step when your [Gladiator Beast] monster battles another monster. Special Summon this card from your hand."

Titus Flavius ​​Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, the first emperor of the Flavian dynasty of the Roman Empire—you can try reading him quickly, it's a bit long-winded...

The Gladiator Beast Warrior of the Sea Dragon Clan, a powerful race born from the ocean, roared and joined the battle.

The immense battle aura erupted once more. Augustus, sensing this powerful battle aura, let out a long roar, his strength greatly increased, and he suddenly exerted his power, directly severing the stellar energy output by the cosmic sage.

"【Gladiator Beast Vespasianus】Effect: While this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a "Gladiator Beast" monster and is in the Monster Zone, monsters you control gain 500 ATK."

Gladiator Beast Vespasianus

Star rating: 7

Attribute: Water

Race: Sea Dragon

Attack power: 2300 → 2800

Defense: 0

【Gladiator Beast Augustus】Attack Power: 2600→3100

[Gladiator Beast Gunner] Attack Power: 1500 → 2000

"Ugh—!"

Taking advantage of the cosmic sage's weakness, Augustus pierced her heart with his sword, then swiftly withdrew it amidst her screams and leaped away to prevent her from launching a spectacular self-destruction.

AI LP used for training: 4000→3700

"【Gladiator Beast Vespasianus】Attack 【Dark Magician】!"

One sword, two swords, three swords, four swords...

Like a continuous, surging river, or like the endless, raging waves of a storm.

The dark magician struggled to maintain his protective shield against the raging swordplay, not daring to be distracted by a counterattack.

But my magic—

"Ping-a-ling!"

The magic shield was shattered by the sword strike. The gladiators and magicians had clashed countless times. The moment the shield was broken, the Sea Dragon Warrior lunged in, and like the previous Cosmic Sage, his sword pierced straight into the heart. He then kicked the opponent away and quickly moved off, giving them no chance to self-destruct, perish together, or be cursed.

"【Gladiator Beast Spear Fighting】Direct Attack!"

The green bird-beast warrior spread its wings and flew in the sky, firing two shots from the muskets on its arms, which landed on the AI's computer screen.

"Enter Main Phase 2, and then at the end of the Battle Phase, activate the effects of the monsters on my field—"

"【Gladiator Beast Gunfight】Activate its effect—At the end of the Battle Phase when this card battles, you can return this card to its owner's Deck to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 "Gladiator Beast" monster from your Deck, except "Gladiator Beast Gunfight".

"Special Summon [Gladiator Beast Sinful Fighter]!"

Gunbu went back to resupply, and a new soldier took his place.
