"Then I'll set a card face down, and the turn is over."
Kagura inserts her last card into the Duel Disk.
"My turn, draw a card!"
Just as Rafael drew his card, Kagura shouted:
"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Arc Light Valiant Dragon]!"
"During the Standby Phase of the next turn after this card is sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon any Level 7 or 8 Dragon monster from your Graveyard other than this card!"
"Come forth! [Giant Dragon. Shine]!"
Except for the white skin on its belly, the giant dragon, whose entire body was shimmering with gold, appeared on the field with a dazzling light that blinded the two men.
【Giant Dragon. Shining, Level 8, Light Attribute, Dragon Type, ATK 2800, Effect Monster】
"Another high-ranking dragon!?"
Rafiru looked at the four high-level dragons on the opposing team's field, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
In terms of powerful and fast attacks alone, this guy is probably even better than that Duel King.
"It's not over yet! The dazzling dragon will bring joyful magic!"
Kagura unleashes her full power in this disgusting attack: "After this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, you can banish 1 monster from your opponent's field or Graveyard!"
"And this card's attack power will increase by 100 times the level of the card it banishes!"
"I choose your [Support Guard]!"
A black hole in another dimension opened under the pull of dimensional gravity, and the red-haired demon was released out of the game by the immense suction.
"You bastard!"
Rafiru's face darkened further; [Support Guardian] was an important part of his Guardian deck.
Without this card, each monster would be unable to equip its own exclusive trap.
"The level of [Support Guard] is 4, so the attack power of my [Giant Dragon. Shine] increases by 400!"
[Giant Dragon. Shine, Attack Power 2800 → Attack Power 3200]
"Attack power 3200, once again summoning a monster with attack power exceeding that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon—"
Raphael could feel the immense pressure emanating from this person, almost comparable to Yugi Muto using the [Orichalcos Barrier].
He held up one of the two cards he had just drawn using the effect of [Guardian's Treasure Card].
"I activate the Spell Card, 'The Magic Book in the Pot' (original card), and both players draw three cards from their decks."
Rafael and Kagura simultaneously drew three cards from their decks.
Kagura glanced at the card and chuckled, "Oh, thank you so much, I'm out of cards anyway."
"You're such a kind person, Mr. Rafael."
Rafael's forehead veins bulged. It was clearly just a normal side effect of drawing cards, but the way the man in black described it made his blood pressure skyrocket.
Why is this person so strong, yet mentally ill?
Rafiru decided to ignore this madman and continue:
"Next, I activate [Pot of Greed] and draw two cards from my deck!"
"Then activate another [Ashaka Record] (original card) and draw two cards from your deck!"
"If any cards were used in this duel, then those cards are excluded!"
After replenishing his hand, Rafiru continued:
"Open the card! [Long Lan Returns]!"
The last card at his feet was opened:
"Target one of your or your opponent's banished monsters; Special Summon that monster to your field!"
"However, the monster Special Summoned by this effect returns to its owner's hand during the End Phase."
"Come forth! Resurrect from another world! [Support Guard]!"
The red-haired, blue-skinned demon was pulled out of the other world by its master, and it gasped for breath in fright.
[Support Guard, Defense Strength 2200]
"Then activate the equipment spell! [Goddess's Holy Sword], equip it on [Support Guardian]! Attack power increased by 300!"
(Original effect)
[Support Guard, Attack Power 500 → Attack Power 800]
Kagura suddenly smiled: "I see. [The Holy Sword of the Goddess], according to my investigation of you, the one you are going to summon next is your goddess, [Guardian Aetos], right?"
"So what!"
Rafael had a sudden, uneasy feeling, and sure enough, he heard the sinister-looking man in black robes chuckle.
"Heh, but according to the data, [Guardian Aetos], your trump card, can only be summoned if [Goddess's Holy Sword] is on the field."
"In other words, once this Equip Card is destroyed, this monster will never be able to appear again."
Rafael was startled and instinctively asked, "What are you going to do?"
Kagura waved her hand and said, "At this moment, I activate the effect of [Loading Barrel Raging Dragon]!"
"Once per turn, target 1 monster on my field and 1 card on your opponent's field, and destroy those cards!"
"Furthermore, this effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn!"
Rafiru took two steps back in surprise: "What?! Such a powerful effect?"
"I choose to destroy the [Tyrant Dragon] and your [Support Guard]!"
【Tyrant Dragon】is currently the most useless monster in Kagura Arena, with the lowest attack power, making it more suitable as cannon fodder.
[Reloading Barrel Raging Dragon] The barrel at the tail was reloaded, and with a "bang," a large hole appeared in the red-haired demon's chest, turning into a speck of light and dissipating.
Meanwhile, the [Goddess's Holy Sword] equipped on it was also destroyed and entered the graveyard.
But Rafiru gritted his teeth and did not give in.
"You're very strong! I don't know who you are! But you are indeed very strong!"
At this moment, it seemed as if illusory flames were igniting behind Rafael:
"But don't underestimate the bond between me and the monster!!!"
Kagura: —
How dare you, a villain, say such a thing?
"I activate the Spell Card! [Soul Replenishment]!"
Rafael roared, "Special Summon any number of monsters from your Graveyard. Each monster summoned costs 500 Coins!"
Add some health!
"Furthermore, the monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack during the turn it is summoned! (Original effect)"
This effect is countless times stronger than the physical card version. The physical card version requires 1000 LP to revive each one, and cannot enter the battle phase during that turn.
Even so, this card was eventually banned and placed in the blacklist.
"I resurrect [Guardian Grall] and [Support Guardian]!"
[Rafiru, LP2800→LP1800]
"Come on! [Guardian Grall] [Support Guard]!"
The dinosaur man and the red-haired devil have returned, and there are no more monsters in Rafael's graveyard.
"Even at the cost of my own life points, I will clear the monsters from the graveyard."
Kagura clapped her hands: "That's so touching! A man with principles is the best, so I should definitely help you laugh!"
Rafiru ignored it and drew another card from his hand:
"Spell Card, [Weapon Hole]: You can activate this effect by sending the top card of your Deck to the Graveyard! Add 1 Equip Spell Card from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand!"
"After this card is activated, it cannot be Normal Summoned this turn!"
"I'm adding the [Goddess's Holy Sword] from the graveyard to my hand!"
Rafael retrieves the card that popped out of the graveyard and immediately inserts it into the Duel Disk:
"I then activated [Goddess's Holy Sword] to re-equip [Support Guard]!"
[Support Guard, Attack Power 500 → Attack Power 800]
"Next, while I control [Goddess's Holy Sword] and have no monsters in my Graveyard, this card can be Special Summoned from my hand!"
"Come forth! [Guardian Aetos]!"
An eagle flies across the sky, and a blonde beauty wearing an eagle headdress and striped wild clothing looks beautiful and wild, with a unique aesthetic.
[Guardian Ethos, Level 8, Wind Attribute, Angel Race, ATK 2500, Effect Monster.]
"Oh? So it has appeared after all? Your strongest spirit, the goddess who brings you victory."
Kagura's tone remained slow and leisurely, seemingly without any sense of tension.
"Ha, now's the only time you can say such arrogant things!"
Rafael waved his hand and said, "First, the effect of [Support Guardian] will transfer [Goddess's Holy Sword] to [Guardian]."
[Aetos!]
The holy sword, which was pinned to the ground, flew up automatically and fell into its master's hands.
[Guardian: Aetos, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 2800]
"Then I cast another spell, [Soul Liberation]!"
"You can activate this effect by targeting a maximum of 5 cards in your or your opponent's Graveyard, and banishing those cards!"
Rafael carefully recalled the cards in Kagura's graveyard: "I will remove [Mental Collapse], [Dragon's Mirror], and [Treasure Card of Burial Incantation] from your graveyard!"
The three cards were removed from the graveyard, and Kagura pulled them out and put them in her pocket.
He seemed to understand why Rafael had chosen those cards.
"Next, I activate the effect of [Guardian Aetos]!"
Rafiru shouted:
"Once per turn, destroy the 'Goddess's Holy Sword' equipped on this card, and banish monster cards one by one from your opponent's Graveyard until a non-monster card appears!"
"Until the end of this turn, [Guardian Aetos] gains its ATK equal to the combined ATK of all monsters banished this turn!"
"The Soul of the Holy Sword!"
Kagura's arm seemed to be drawn by some force, lifting the Duel Disk.
In the graveyard area, his cards are excluded one by one:
[Tyrant Dragon] [Limited Dragon. Schwarzschild Dragon] [Folk Art Dragon] [Arc Light Valiant Dragon] [Storm Dragon] [Evil Dragon].
The spirits of these dragons appeared beside Kagura, seemingly rebuking him.
"Oh dear, I don't have a single card left for these gravesites."
Kagura continued speaking nonchalantly, seemingly in a teasing tone.
Rafiru's expression was grave: "Look, these are the dragons who perished in your graveyard! You carelessly buried them here for the sake of victory!"
"Now you will face their wrath!"
Kagura chuckled and even held up one finger to count the monsters:
"Attack power 2900, attack power 2000, attack power 400, attack power 2400, attack power 2400, attack power 2000, total 12100."
"That's right! The total is 12100!"
Rafael roared, "All of this attack power will be added to [Guardian Aetos]!"
[Guardian Aetos, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 14600]
"Attack power 14600! That's impressive!"
Kagura praised him without any reservations, completely unconcerned whether the incredibly powerful sword strike was about to hit her.
"it's over!"
Rafael roared, "[Guardian Aetos]! Attack [Loading Barrel Raging Dragon]!"
"The forbidden truth!"
The forty-meter-long greatsword pressed down with a world-destroying force. Kagura marveled at the spectacular scene while clicking the duel disk.
"Open the cover card, the perpetual trap [Soul Barrier]."
"As long as you control a monster, battle damage to the controller of this card becomes 0."
The purple mechanical dragon was destroyed by this attack, turning into specks of light and dissipating. The remaining attack was firmly blocked by a barrier, without causing any damage.
"Pfft, it actually blocked it! Always trying to be clever!"
Rafael activated his last card immediately:
"Magic Card! [Heavenly Treasure Card]: Both players draw six cards each! Draw cards from your deck!"
It seems that Rafael had this card in his hands for a long time, but he didn't activate it too early in order not to give Kagura resources.
Rafael draws six, Kagura draws three.
Kagura held six full cards, her heart filled with gratitude for her old friend Rafael.
What a kind person! He gave me a whole hand of cards.
"Then change [Guardian Grall] to Defense Position, and then Set three cards! End turn!"
Rafiru placed three cards directly on top, making it look even more sinister.
[Guardian Aetos, Attack Power 14600 → Attack Power 2500]
"My turn, draw a card!"
Kagura drew a card and then said, "Based on the effect of my [Future Fusion] on the field, I will perform a Fusion Summon: [Five Emperor Dragons]!"
A colossal dragon clan with five different heads and a height of tens of meters appeared, exuding a kingly aura.
This is utter trash that doesn't even qualify as a wall, 【Five Emperors Dragon】.
[Five Emperors Dragon, Level 12, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 5000, Fusion Monster.]
"Then activate the effect of [Plague Dragon]: Once per turn, destroy one 1-star monster on the field with ATK equal to or less than this card's ATK!"
"I destroyed [Guardian Aetos]!"
A purple dragon's breath erupted, and Raphiel, seeing his goddess about to be destroyed, immediately flipped over a card:
"Open the face-down card to counter the Trap [Destruction Interference]! Discard one card from your hand to negate and destroy the activations of cards that have effects that destroy monsters on the field!"
"I will nullify and destroy the Plague Dragon!"
The counterattack barrier reflected the attack, which returned and struck the Plague Dragon, causing a loud explosion.
"Oh no, the Plague Dragon has been destroyed."
"Its final effect is about to kick in."
All the monsters on the field seemed to have weakened, and Kagura explained, "[Plague Dragon]'s special effect: When this card is destroyed by battle or card effect, all monsters on the field lose 1000 ATK!"
"What?!"
Rafael looked at the monsters on his field and noticed that their attack power had changed.
[Support Guard, Attack Power 500 → Attack Power 0]
[Guardian - Grall, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 1500]
[Guardian Aetos, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 1500]
[Guardian - Grall, Attack Power 1600 → Attack Power 600]
[Spiral Dragon/Nuclear Ball Dragon, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 1500]
[Giant Dragon. Shine, Attack Power 3200 → Attack Power 2200]
[Five Emperor Dragons, Attack Power 5000 → Attack Power 4000]
This is the effect of [Plague Dragon], a map-wide attack that doesn't even spare Kagura's monsters.
In terms of treachery, he's on par with the traitor Long.
