How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

Yuto: "If there is a [Golden Chest of Light] on the field, I can Special Summon [Black Magician - Black Magician] from my hand!"

The golden cabinet of light, which was originally only the size of a small box, trembled and slowly grew larger, eventually standing up to be about the size of the King's Coffin.

Then its lid opened, and the black magician lying inside walked out.

The Black Magician

[Magician/Dark]

[Attack power: 2500]

At this moment, the passage connecting the ferry crossing to the underworld also changed.

"At this moment, the effect of the field spell [The Magician's Rescue] activates!"

If I successfully Normal or Special Summon "Dark Magician" or "Dark Magician Girl", target that monster and Special Summon 1 "Dark Magician" or "Dark Magician Girl" from my Graveyard with a different name than that monster!

"Since [Black Magician - Black Magician] is in the Monster Zone, its card name is treated as [Black Magician], so I Special Summon [Black Magician Girl] from my Graveyard!"

A large hole was opened in the center of the passage by dark purple magic, and a fair hand could be vaguely seen reaching out from it, waving around as if searching for something to grab onto.

According to the procedure, the black magician, who couldn't bear to see his disciple in such a shameful state, should have stepped in to pull her up. However, as the golden edge of the circular magic circle lit up, he had to postpone his plans.

"Chain activation of the effect of [Dark Magician Circle]! If [Dark Magician] is Summoned or Special Summoned on the field, you can target 1 card on your opponent's field and banish that card!"

Yudou hesitated between the King's Coffin and the Four-Headed Demon before finally choosing the King's Coffin.

The effect that prevents your "Horus" monsters from being destroyed by card effects that don't target you is too troublesome.

"I will banish your Continuous Spell [Coffin of the King] from the field!"

"Hahaha! Not a bad choice, but still too naive! Yu Lian, activate the effect of your [Dark Magic Circle] on the field and activate the effect of [Sacred Dragon - Nine Divine Dragons]!"

Osmandis laughed loudly, commanding the towering crimson-purple dragon to absorb an overpowered material into its body, and then raised his hand to physically suppress the spatial rift that appeared on his field.

"Once per turn, when your opponent activates a Spell/Trap/Monster effect that targets any remaining cards on your field or in your Graveyard, or any remaining banished cards, detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, negate that activation, and destroy it!"

As they spoke, Saint-Carved Heavenly Dragon's other hand also descended, this time landing on You Du's field, directly smashing the black magic array beneath his feet to pieces, leaving only the larger outer ring magic array.

Only then did the black magician reach out and pull his disciple out of the graveyard. Because it had taken some time, the black magician girl, whose arm was getting a little sore, had switched hands and reached out from the graveyard.

Black Magic Girl

[Magician/Dark]

[Attack power: 2000→2300]

Then, a familiar nebula-like vortex appeared in the center of the arena between the two, and Yuuto spoke expressionlessly:

"I will stack the Level 6 monsters on the field, [Magician's Apprentice - Dark Magician Girl] and [Dark Magician Girl]! I will create a stacking network with these two monsters! XYZ Summon!"

Under the unexpected gazes of Osmandis and Misaya of the Linglong Pavilion, the black magic girl on the ferry field and her golden coffin vest transformed into two dark purple orbs of light and flew into the ferry.

"Come on! Rank 6! [Eye-Catching Magic Girl]!"

Osmandis: "?"

Reiryukan Misaya: "???"

What the heck is this?!

Clearly, this was unlike any card name they had ever seen, and the unusually unconventional card name surprised them.

Of course, it's also possible that they didn't expect that Yuto's deck could perform Xyz Summon in addition to Ritual Summon and Fusion Summon?

But putting aside the card name, the Magical Girl's appearance is actually still that of the Dark Magician Girl, just with a new black robe... and maybe she's even wearing some makeup?

【Eye-Stealing Magic Girl】

【Level 6】

[Mage/Xyz/Dark]

[Attack power: 2400]

However unexpectedly, after witnessing Yutaka's unprecedented Xyz Summoning, Osmandis didn't believe that Yutaka was just showing off to him.

"I activate the monster effect of [Eye-Staring☆Magic Girl]!" Before his thoughts had even settled, Yuuto had already begun to confirm his guess with his actions.

“1回合1次，把这张卡1个超量素材取除，将1张手卡从游戏中除外发动！选择对手场上1只怪兽直到这个回合的结束阶段为止得到其控制权！”

"I choose to gain control of [Horus's Blessing - Kebshanaf] on the field!"

With a wave of her wand, the magician used her most proficient technique—hypnosis, no… brainwashing, uh… hot girl magic!

Kebshanaf, with a bird's head on his back, charged over from Osmandis's field.

"Roar? Then I'll activate the effect of [Celestial Holy Seal]!" Faced with Yu Du's actions, Osmandis, who was not going to sit idly by and wait for death, quickly responded.

"If this card is in the Extra Monster Zone, you can Tribute 1 monster from your hand or field once during your opponent's turn to return 1 face-up card on the field to your hand!"

"I release the [Celestial Saint Seal]! Return the [Eye-Catching Magical Girl] from your field to your hand!"

Osmandis paused strangely, as if recalling the pronunciation of "Youdu" from earlier, and then repeated it verbatim.

Yudo tried his best to keep his face expressionless.

Chapter 239 Two Words!

In the sky, the ten spheres simulating celestial motion ceased their regular operation and began to move to the left and right from the night sky high above.

Once they all formed a line from top to bottom, creating an extremely rare ten-star alignment, they plummeted down like the legendary Sword of Damocles hanging over people's heads.

"—!"

The buzzing sound that followed the loud bang instantly filled their ears!

After the smoke and dust from the explosion cleared, the glamorous magician had disappeared from the spot, and in her place stood a white-robed mage who looked like a child.

"Ok?"

Osmandis was puzzled, but soon understood what had happened after Youdu explained it to him.

“After you activated the effect of [Celestial Mark of the Celestial Sphere], I chain-activated this card from my hand!” Yuuto flipped the card in his hand over to show it to Osmandis.

"Quick Attack Magic [Dimensional Magic]!"

The image depicts a coffin resembling Anubis, tightly bound by chains and a frame.

This made Osmandis somewhat unhappy.

He found himself seeing all sorts of tombs and coffins all day long.

"This card can only be activated if you control a Spellcaster monster. Target 1 monster on your field, Tribute that monster, Special Summon 1 Spellcaster monster from your hand, and then destroy 1 monster on the field!"

Yuu Watari slowly explained the card's effect: "I release [Eye-Catching Magical Girl] on the field and Special Summon [Silent Magician Zero] from my hand!"

The Silent Magician - Zero

【4 stars】

[Mage/Light]

[Attack power: 1000]

Now that Osmandis has used up almost all of his available effects on the field, he has no way to stop Yuwatari's card from destroying the field!

The small, silent magician on the field waved his staff, briefly returning to his tall, adult form. The massive burst of magical power directly engulfed [Horus's Vanguard - Habi] on Osmandis's field.

Horus monsters have various effects that can be activated when other cards leave the field. For example, Kebshanaf's effect is that the opponent cannot target "Horus" monsters on the field for attacks or effects during this turn.

The presence of the King's Coffin can protect them from being destroyed by AOE effects, so it's best to eliminate it first.

Seeing this, Osmandis had no choice but to change the target of the effect of [Celestial Mark], bounced [Black Magician - Black Magician] back to Yuuto's hand.

Afterwards, the chain effect was dealt with one by one. Hapi was destroyed, the Black Magician returned to Yuto's hand, the ten spheres in the sky disappeared, and Kebshanaf arrived on Yuto's field.

Horus's Blessing - Kebushenaf

[Attack power: 2500]

"The effect of [Celestial Holy Mark] is activated!"

Even after seeing that he now only had two monsters left on his field after this chain of offense and defense, Osmandis did not panic at all and calmly continued to deal with the effect of [Celestial Mark].

"If this card is Tributed, you may Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand or Deck with its ATK and DEF reduced to 0!"

"I Special Summon [Saint-Ciel Dragon - Ossiron] from my Deck in Defense Position!"

【Sacred Dragon - Ossi Dragon】

【7 stars】

【Dragon/Light】

[Defense: 700 → 0]

The addition of a shield to block damage is not important to Yudo. After exhausting all of Osmandis's means of blocking, he can now confidently pull out his trump card.

Hmph, today I'm going to show you all what we're made of, so you'll know that our Dark Magician deck can not only master Ritual, Fusion, and Xyz, but we can even play with Link!

Now, he wields forbidden power!

"Open! The future loop to victory!" On the ground, the blue loop was suddenly opened, and the eight arrows around it were dark, just waiting for Youdu to light them up.

"Arrow confirmed! ↙↘! I'm setting the link arrows for [Magician Twin Souls] and [Silent Magician Zero] on the field! Link Summon!"

The two monsters that were called out transformed into hurricanes, and with a force as if shouting "Smash them!", they blasted into the two arrows.

"Come out! L-ink2! [Plant-eating Crassula anaconda]!"

A greenish-blue vine, resembling a snake, crawled out from the opened connection circuit. Its body was thick and covered with layers of leaves, like corn kernels.

The leaves on its head open like flower petals, revealing the snake's head inside, which is filled with tiny, sharp teeth.

"The monster effect of [Predatory Plant Blue Lock Dragon Anaconda] is activated!" The blue snake on the field begins to emit a magenta glow, and at the same time, Yuwatari's Life Points begin to decrease.

[Yoto LP: 4000 → 2000]

"Pay 2000 Life Points to send one 'Fusion' Normal/Quick-Play Spell Card from your Deck to the Graveyard. This effect becomes the same as the effect of that Spell Card when it was activated!"

However, as a trade-off, once this effect is activated, I cannot Special Summon monsters until the end of the turn!

"I send [Red-Eyes Fusion] from my deck to the graveyard! Activating its effect, I use 1 [Dark Magician] and 1 [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] as Fusion Materials from my deck! Fusion Summon!"

A crimson vortex appeared behind Youdu, swallowing the dark purple mage and the jet-black dragon. A being that combined the powers of the two was about to be born from it.

"My strongest servant! At this moment, merge with that black dragon with the crimson eyes, and show the world the power of miracles and bonds with your strongest form!"

"Come before me! Level 8! [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight]!"

The black dragon transformed into black and gold armor, replacing the black magician's robes. A pair of dragon wings and a spiked dragon tail, also encased in armor, remained behind him, while crimson gems adorned various parts of his body.

The staff that was originally in his hand was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a sharp cleaver with distinct segments like a dragon bone, and barbs on the blade and back, making him look like a demon king from a fantasy story.
