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

Garuda Dharma King: 4000 LP

"I'll go first, draw a card!"

Garuda Dharma King seized the initiative.

"I usually summon the [Flame King Beast Kirin]."

Despite being called a Qilin, it is merely a white-furred unicorn.

"I activate the Field Spell 【Teostra's Isle】, and simultaneously activate its effect—this effect can only be activated during your Main Phase. Destroy 1 monster from your hand or field, and add 1 'Teostra' monster from your Deck to your hand. I destroy 【Teostra Beast Kirin】 on the field, and add 【Teostra Beast Yasha】 from my Deck to my hand."

A solitary island replaced the barrier, and Changyan and Garuda Dharma King fought at the foot of a volcano.

"Activate the effect of [Flame King Beast Kirin] - Also, if this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can send 1 FIRE monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. I send [Flame King Beast Phoenix] to the Graveyard."

They sent their elder brother to the grave right off the bat. Impressive.

It wasn't sarcasm, but praise.

"【Teostramon Yasha】's effect—If a face-up "Teostra" monster you control is destroyed by a card effect, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand. Because it combines hand effects and destruction effects, it can be activated simultaneously."

Yaksha, this name should be familiar to many people.

However, this Yaksha refers to a demon in Indian legends, one of the eight classes of gods and dragons in Buddhism. Although it looks a bit fierce, its attire is quite impressive.

Garuda Dharma King was afraid that Chang Yan would think he had violated the rules, so he made a special explanation.

Haha, back when I played Magician, the Silver and Gold and Cosmic Reading combos were practically worn out by now...

"Activate the effect of [Soul of Vengeance and Inferno] in my hand - If you control a FIRE monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this Special Summon is successful, destroy 1 FIRE monster you control. I choose to destroy [Teammon Yasha].

Karmic fire, originally referring to the Buddhist concept of how evil deeds harm the body like fire, also refers to the fire that burns sinners in the "eight hot hells."

The sinner's soul, filled with endless resentment, was sealed in a magical artifact, where intense red lotus flames continuously burned his soul, trying to consume all his sins.

But can sins be burned away so easily?

After countless years of burning, this resentful soul has become one with the karmic fire, and in its madness, it no longer recognizes its own family and has begun to brutally beat its own allies.

The karmic fire splashed onto the Yaksha. Who in this world is innocent?

The yaksha roared, trying to dispel the karmic fire, but the flames clung to him like a leech, and soon burned him to ashes.

"Amitabha Buddha, if that Crimson Lotus Hell truly exists in the future, I fear this humble monk will also suffer the torment of being burned alive by karmic fire. [Teostra Yaksha]'s effect activated—If this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can destroy 1 card from your hand or field. You can only use this effect of 'Teostra Yaksha' once per turn. I destroy [Teostra Ganesh] from my hand."

The Yaksha, its soul like a raging fire, roared and madly crashed into Garuda Dharma King's hand, shattering a humanoid elephant into pieces.

"【Termantasy Beast Ganesh】Effect—If this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can target 1 FIRE Beast/Beast-Warrior/Winged Beast monster in your Graveyard other than 'Termantasy Beast Ganesh'; Special Summon that monster. Negate the effects of that Special Summoned monster, and destroy it during the End Phase."

"Rebirth from the ashes, [Flame King Divine Beast Roc Immortal Phoenix]!"

“pong——”

The volcano erupted.

Beneath the lava of Okita, a majestic and beautiful bird takes flight.

Flames burned on its back, like decorative crest feathers, and its wings, red on the outside and green on the inside, fluttered like those of a peacock or a cattail leaf.

Like a peacock, like a phoenix.

It looks really impressive.

And all of them are effects that cause destruction, which seems similar to the True Dragon Emperor and Dinosaur decks.

"Set one card face down, then activate the Spell Card 'Heavenly Treasure Card' - all players draw cards from their decks until each player has 6 cards in their hand."

puff--!

As the saying goes, he almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

This...this...this is outrageous!

Back then, you didn't conquer Doma with skill, but with a lucky draw, right?

"Hmm, it seems this humble monk has broken the precept against greed. Then, I will set two more cards face down and end the turn. At this time, the [Flame King Beast Ganesha] that was Special Summoned to the field by the effect of [Flame King Beast Ganesha] will be destroyed."

The phoenix-like bird let out a penetrating cry, then transformed into a wisp of fire and vanished.

"My turn, draw a card."

Common saying: Number of cards in hand: 7

At that moment, the flying sparks suddenly became active.

"At this moment, activate this face-down card, the Continuous Trap [Kick Fire] - Once per turn, when a face-up FIRE monster you control is destroyed by a card effect, place 1 counter on this card for each destroyed monster. During both players' Standby Phases, you can send this card to the Graveyard to inflict damage to your opponent equal to 1000 times the number of counters on this card."

!!!

Master, you are amazing!

I originally thought you were skilled and had amazing draws, but it turns out you're playing a damage-dealing deck!

With only 4000 LP of health, how could you possibly whittle it down?

Chang Yan felt an urge to spit out the mouthful of blood he had just swallowed...

Chapter 118 [Heterochromatic Gravity Dragon]

"This card was made from the soul of a vicious murderer I encountered years ago. When I was chasing him, I was still in a dark state. When I saw him trying to escape, I panicked and lit a wooden puppet next to me and threw it at him. It hit him right in the face. When I got there, he was already on the verge of death from the fire, so I sealed his soul away. Later, Pegasus made it into a card."

Garuda Dharma King sometimes acts like Lord Dazi, sometimes like a demon; it's hard to understand his current mental state.

But it turns out you also have a connection with Pegasus?

"Following the effect of [Fire King Divine Beast Roc Phoenix] - If this card is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon this card from the Graveyard during the next Standby Phase. And when this card is Special Summoned, destroy all monsters on the field except this card! Fire King Phoenix!"

With a roar from Garuda Dharma King, the flames gradually converged—

"——————!"

The penetrating bird song rang out again, but this time the sound was even more oppressive than before.

The resurrection effect is disrupted, and there's also a devastating effect that shakes the entire field. It has to be said that this effect is incredibly powerful.

A towering flame erupted violently from the Roc Phoenix's body. The resentful souls entangled with the karmic fire let out a mournful roar of unwillingness before being completely purified by the flames, leaving not even a trace behind.

"The effect of [Kick Fire] is to place a counter."

A small fireball appeared on the card.

"Activate the effect of the card 'Ritual of the Demon God - Grail Slime' - You can activate this effect by revealing this card in your hand to your opponent. Discard 1 card from your hand, and Special Summon 1 'Ritual of the Demon God' monster from your Deck. However, if your Ritual Monster's Special Summon fails this turn after activation, you lose 2500 Life Points."

"A Ritual Monster that can activate its effect from your hand? And it costs you 2500 Life Points? Are you serious? I still have two face-down cards on my field!"

Garuda Dharma King's eyes also turned serious. With only 4000 LP, losing 2500 LP would leave him with only 1500. If he could accumulate one more counter or if the Garuda Phoenix successfully attacked, he would win directly.

"Master, there's no need to worry. I'm still young and don't want to die young. I'll discard a card from my hand and then Special Summon [Demon Ritual - Candle Doll] from my Deck."

A gooey, green slime lay lazily in a cup, like it was soaking in a hot spring, while the cup spirit was getting so angry it could barely contain itself.

With a casual flick of the slime's wrist, a candle spirit came running over, all excited and eager.

"0 ATK? Then open the face-down card, the Trap Card 'Burning Sea'—This can only be activated if you control a Level 7 or higher WATER or FIRE monster. The following effects of the attributes of monsters you control apply. I control a Level 8 FIRE monster, 'Flame King Phoenix,' therefore it gains this effect—"

Waves surged on the sea next to the island.

"Destroy 1 monster on the field. After that, if you have 1 or more cards in your hand, discard 1 of them to the Graveyard. I choose to destroy 'Demon Ritual - Candle Doll' on your field."

Flames burned on the sea. Then they spread to the land, burning the candle spirit alive.

"Muda! The Special Summon of [Demon Ritual - Candle Doll] has been successful. Activate its effect—If this card is successfully Special Summoned from the Deck, you can activate this effect. Add 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. However, as long as this card is in the Monster Zone, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck. I add the Ritual Spell [Demon Ritual's Birth] to my hand, and then activate this card immediately!"

"【Birth of the Demon Ritual】is used to Ritual Summon 1 Ritual Monster from your hand by Tributing all "Demon Ritual" monsters in your hand or on the field until their total Levels equal the Level of the monster to be Ritual Summoned."

"I will use my Level 7 [Demon Ritual - Grail Slime] from my hand as a Ritual Tribute—"

"O dragon with beautiful heterochromatic eyes, offer up the Holy Grail, the creation of the demon god, and transform it into the power to bind all things! Ritual Summon - Rank 7, [Heterochromatic Gravity Dragon]!"

Black scales covered the orange dragon's skin, and in the center of its wide claws was a blue crystal-like area from which blue gravity waves radiated downwards, making this heterochromatic-eyed dragon proudly float in the air.

"The effect of 【Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon】—When this card is Special Summoned: You can activate this effect. Return all Spell & Trap Cards on your opponent's field to their respective hands—"

"Wait, at this moment I opened my face-down card, the Trap Card 'Bottomless Trap Hole'—it can only be activated when the opponent Normal, Flip, or Special Summons a monster with 1500 or more ATK. Destroy and banish those monsters with 1500 or more ATK... Why can't I activate my Trap Card?"

Upon seeing that Chang Yan was about to perform a ritual summoning and summon a monster with powerful effects, Garuda Dharma King immediately opened his face card to trick him.

However, he was puzzled to find that he could not open the face-down cards and could only watch helplessly as all his Spell & Trap Cards were bounced back into his hand.

"Don't be so hasty before I finish speaking. When the effect of [Odd-Eyed Gravity Dragon] is activated, the opponent cannot activate the effects of Spell, Trap, or Monster in response to the activation of this effect."

Looking at the slightly puzzled Garuda Dharma King, Changyan shook his head helplessly before saying what he hadn't said earlier.

"Amitabha, I see. I was too impatient. Please come in."

"Next, I activate the effect of 'Birth of the Demonic Ritual' in my Graveyard—While this card is in the Graveyard, you can send 1 'Demonic Ritual' card other than 'Birth of the Demonic Ritual' to the Graveyard from your hand or face-up cards on your field to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 'Demonic Ritual' monster from your Deck, and add this card from your Graveyard to your hand. However, this effect can only be activated once per turn."

"Activating the effect of a Ritual Spell Card from the graveyard?!"

Like many others, the King of France was surprised by this magic card that could activate its effect from the graveyard.

However, as the saying goes, my heart is full of "MMP" right now.

He didn't have a single Ritual Spell Card or any minions from the Demon God Ritual in his starting hand; all he drew were Ritual Monsters. Chang Yan was so angry that he almost spat out the blood that had been gushing up and down on the spot.

Chapter 119 [Demon-shaped Pestle]

The commonly mentioned starting move is actually very clunky, really clunky.

If Garuda the Dharma King on the other side had any cards that could negate monster effects, Chang Yan would have been brutally defeated in a very frustrating way.

Fortunately, the [Odd-Eyes Gravity Dragon] was summoned and got rid of those troublesome face-down cards.

"I send another [Demon Ritual - Grail Slime] from my hand to the Graveyard, Special Summon [Demon Ritual - Feather Blade Pen] from my Deck, and then add this card to my hand."

Starting with two [Demon Ritual - Holy Grail Slime] and one [Demon Ritual Creator - Creation Altar] is truly something else.

"The effect of 【Magic Ritual - Feather Knife Pen】: If this card is Special Summoned from the Deck, you can target 1 Ritual Monster in your Graveyard; add that monster to your hand. I add the Ritual Monster 【Magic Ritual - Grail Slime】 to my hand."

The elusive quill spirit swiftly approached with incredibly graceful movements, simultaneously retrieving the slime from the graveyard.

As for the Creator...

Chang Yan only brought one card, to retrieve the Demon God Instrument monster, and then just drew it in his starting hand...

"Ritual Spell [Birth of the Demon God Ritual], I will offer the Level 10 [Creator of the Demon God Ritual - Creation Altar] from my hand as a ritual sacrifice—"

"O sealed ancient dragon, Heavenly Spear Dragon, with your fierce and ferocious eternal ice, relying on this forbidden technique passed down from ancient times, offer up the sacrifice of the demon god at this moment, and transform into the Shadow Spirit Holy Armor to reign supreme here! Ritual Summoning - Level 7, [Heavenly Spear Dragon Shadow Spirit Armor]!"
