Yu-Gi-Oh!: From Casual Gamer to Soulful Player

The Water Mage not only printed cards himself, but also taught Hyoga how to do it.

Although Hyoga's printing process was bumpy and costly, he wasn't printing equipment or magic cards.

However, for some unknown reason, many of the magic cards in Glacier Seal are related to "the dead," "destruction," and "resurrection."

I don't know if it's related to the fact that he's a time traveler.

It's also possible that he's too insecure.

"Kisama! My turn, draw a card!"

Jera's warriors drew cards while hurling insults at Hyoga.

Seeing his level 8 monster on the opponent's field, it was already a sign of his good temper that he didn't turn his Duel Disk back into a longsword.

However, overall, he still has five cards in his hand, and the possibility of a comeback is very high.

Seeing the card he had just drawn, Jera's warrior's eyes lit up, but when he looked at Hyoga, he said in a low voice, "Set one monster face-down, then set another card face-down, end your turn!"

There must be some kind of conspiracy.

Hyoga thought so, but he couldn't figure out what the conspiracy might be.

Alright, let's draw cards first!

"My turn, draw a card!"

Hyoga couldn't help but smile when he saw the new card he had drawn.

The other party discovered this.

But it doesn't matter!

Hyoga didn't activate any cards, but simply said, "Millennium Primal Man, attack! Hmm... Millennium Axe Chop!"

The ancient man pulled out a large axe from among the weapons behind him and swung it directly at the monster covering him.

Hyoga watched as the opponent's two face-down cards showed no sign of being revealed, allowing the Millennium Man to destroy the monster he had face-down.

After the monster flipped over, Hyoga had just realized it was a creature resembling a large-mouthed mantis when it was destroyed.

At that moment, Jera's warrior's arrogant voice rang out, "Hmph, activate the Flip Effect of 'Man-Eating Worm'! Destroy one monster on the field! Return to my graveyard, Millennium Primal Man!"

A gigantic, ethereal insect descended from the sky, swallowed the ancient man whole, and then fell into the ground, disappearing from sight.

Hyoga watched this scene, scratched his cheek, and looked on with curiosity.

However, he wasn't curious about the fall of the ancient humans, but rather about the [Man-Eating Insect].

It's an effects monster!

This is the first time I've seen this.

All the monsters the glacier encountered along the way were ordinary monsters.

The first one is the "man-eating insect".

I wonder if I can get one of those cards if I beat him?

"In that case, I'll set a monster face down, then set a card in the back row, and end my turn."

Axe King's duels, which are basically just simple, straightforward exchanges of blows.

"Hmph, my turn to draw cards!" Jera's warrior roared with laughter, "Millennium Colossus, summon!"

[Millennial Colossus, Attack Power 2000]

"The colossus of a thousand years, attack..."

"Wait a minute," Hyoga interrupted quickly, "My trap card was already activated when you summoned the Millennium Colossus!"

"Trap Hole: If a monster with an ATK of 1000 or higher is summoned via Flip Summon, it is destroyed immediately!"

"Go and keep company with the ancient people!"

Just as the colossal statue was about to move, another hole opened beneath its feet, allowing it, already enormous, to fall unimpeded into the cemetery.

Gerald's warriors had bulging veins all over their heads.

However, the reason he was so angry was not only because the monsters he summoned had not launched a single attack, but also because he had also set a [Trap Hole] card.

However, Hyoga did not normally summon any monsters. Millennium Man was Special Summoned by Monster Reborn, which does not activate Trap Hole.

Meanwhile, Hyoga summons another monster, which is now facing down on the field!

"My turn is over!"

Hyoga smiled and said, "What did you do this round? Just let it pass like that?"

At this moment, Jera's number of cards on the field and in his hand are exactly the same as before the start of the turn, as if he hadn't drawn any cards and had passed the turn empty.

Simple trash talk successfully angered Jera's warriors once again!

The other side's mentality isn't good either!

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Set a monster face-down, then set another card face-down. End your turn!"

Hyoga figured it out. Under the current rules of duels, if the opponent has no monsters on the field, they are invincible. If he summons monsters directly, he might be vulnerable to spells and traps. So it's better to play defensively and send the opponent's monsters to the graveyard one by one. If he has five monsters on the field first, he's guaranteed to win!

After all, the monsters his opponent has summoned in Attack Position so far all have an attack power of over 2000, and Hyoga's own deck doesn't have any monsters that can match that.

Gerald's warriors also saw through Glacier's scheme and became anxious.

But after drawing another card, he suddenly burst into laughter, "It's here! The ultimate evil power is now in my hands!"

"Activate the Spell Card: Monster Resurrection! Return, Millennium Primal Man!"

This 8-star monster has returned to the field once again... it must be exhausted.

"It's not over yet. If that's all, how can it be considered the ultimate evil power?"

Hyoga scratched his face. "I didn't say anything, did I?"

Jera's warriors were now in a frenzy. "Ritual magic, 'Jera's Ritual' activated! Using the millennia-old natives on the field as offerings, a ritual summoning, the absolute evil demon..."

"Jera!!"

A surge of dark power erupted from the magic cards in the hands of Jera's warriors, entangling the Millennium Primal.

The ancient man felt intense pain and roared incessantly, but to no avail; the ritual of the duel left him no way to escape.

Gradually, the bodies of the ancient humans began to shatter, and a ferocious demon, whose entire body seemed to consist only of bones, flew out from within.

[Jera, Attack Power 2800]

After such a performance, only 50 points of attack power were gained. Doesn't that seem meaningless?

This is not the case.

Under the current duel rules, both Fusion and Ritual Summoning methods can only be used to summon monsters on the field, not monsters from your hand.

Moreover, at this point, neither the Fusion nor Ritual Summoning resulted in any actual cards; they simply summoned the corresponding monsters.

For example, on the current Duel Disk of Zera's Warrior, "Millennium Man" and "Zera's Ritual" are still there, but the card "Zera" is not present.

But [Jera] has already made his appearance on the field.

In addition, the most crucial thing is that after [Jera] was summoned, Jera's warriors also underwent a major change.

The warriors of Jera resonated with Jera in some way, and Hyoga could feel an extremely strong soul power surging from the warriors of Jera.

It's as if the protagonist summoned their own Tamashi, making the subsequent battles even more powerful.

So, this won't do...

"Trap Card activated!"

"Torrent Burial!"
