With only 800 LP left, the situation on the field was also at a disadvantage. But the veteran Shogun didnât panic at all. On the contrary, he felt a littleâŚexcited?
He couldnât remember clearly, when was the last time he fought against someone like this with all his strength.
Too many years and too many things happened, and he has almost forgotten this kind of excitement.
The purple-red pupils seemed to be on fire, and the aura of the whole person changed, with black and invisible flames swaying around his body.
âVery good.â He said in a deep voice, âBeing able to defeat me and my warriors in the ceremony, you have proved your strength, human warrior.
But thatâs all! The word âdefeatâ is not in my dictionary. Although it is exciting, this duelâŚwill still be my victory! â
The Shogun raised the Duel Disk and drew the card as if he was standing at the forefront of thousands of troops, ready to take the lead and draw his sword out of its sheath.
âMy turn, draw!â
Shien pulled out the card vigorously, and the invisible power burst out at that moment as if leaving a black wave in the air.
âFirst of all, I want to use this Spell Card again!â The card appeared in front of Shien, âContinuous Spell Card â Six Samurai United! Whenever a Six Samurai monster is summoned, place a Bushido Counter on this card.
Then open the set card: Trap Card â Return of the Six Samurai! Target 1 âSix Samuraiâ monster in my GY; Special Summon that target! â
A wave of darkness was released from the Duel Diskâs GY area, and a card was ejected from it and flew into Shienâs hand in a whirl.
âResurrect from the underworld, The Six Samurai â Irou!â
The darkness erupted like a wave, and the warrior in black returned to the field half-kneeling, on one knee, with a long knife in his hand.
[The Six Samurai â Irou, ATK 1700 â ATK 1900] (enhanced by the effect of The A. Forces)
âAt this moment, open the set card!â A set card was also flipped at Yuei Vuâs feet, âTrap Card â Dark Renewal!â
The trap was opened, and a strange black mist rose from the ground, and the red coffin slowly rose from the black mist.
âThis trap can only be activated when the opponent Normal or Special Summons 1 or more monsters,â Yuei Vu said, âUse one of the monsters summoned by the opponent and 1 Spellcaster monster on my field as sacrifices, send both monsters to the GY to Special Summon 1 DARK Spellcaster monster from my Deck or GY!â
I will sacrifice the âThe Six Samurai â Irouâ you summoned and the âDark Magician of Chaosâ on my field, and resurrect the âDark Magicianâ from the graveyard in the defense position! â
As soon as the warrior in black returned to the field, he was captured by invisible magic power. It seemed to be tightly held by invisible hands. The Dark Magician of Chaos and the warrior turned into beams of light respectively and flew into the coffin on the ground.
Bloody mist erupted, and a beam of black light burst out from the coffin. The mage in the red robe fell back to the ground with a vertical leap.
[Dark Magician, DEF 2100]
The Dark Magician Girl blinked her eyes aside, with a big question mark on her little head.
Why does Master want to sacrifice the more powerful Dark Magician of Chaos? To call back the teacherâs appearance before his transformation?
âHm, then Iâll normal summon âChamberlain of the Six Samuraiâ in attack position!â
What appeared on the stage was a scarred warrior wearing mechanical prosthetics instead of two severed arms. But the robotic arm was still clutching a sharp long knife.
[Chamberlain of the Six Samurai, ATK 200 â ATK 400] (enhanced by the effect of The A. Forces)
âNext, when there is a Six Samurai monster on the field, the âGrandmaster of the Six Samuraiâ can be Special Summoned from the hand!â
The second Grandmaster was placed on the Duel Disk, and the one-eyed old man who had just left the stage returned to the stage again with a horizontal sword in his chest.
ăGrandmaster of the Six Samurai, ATK 2100 â ATK 2500ă
âItâs not over, and because there are two Six Samurai on the field, I will special summon myself from the hand againââ
ââGreat Shogun Shien! â
A scarlet storm rolled up between the venues, and the Shogun in red armor returned to the venue, with a chilling air, as if returning from the underworld.
Yuei Vu: ââŚâ
Why donât you play your cards according to the routine? In the anime, doesnât everyone carry only one soul card by default?
You âŚ. you actually stuffed a second copy of yourself in the deck?
ăGreat Shogun Shien, ATK 2500 â ATK 3100ă
[Chamberlain of the Six Samurai, ATK 400 â ATK 800]
[Grandmaster of the Six Samurai, ATK 2500 â ATK 2700]
âTooâŚtoo strong.â The Dark Magician Girl on the side exclaimed.
At the same time, she was feeling a little depressed.
When will my dueling skills be as good as his?
I feel stupid every time I fight with my master. I was instantly killed without even having a chance to play a few cards.
I always feel that the master has not started, yet I canât bear his full length. I have always felt guiltyâŚ
Restored this luxurious lineup, Shien glanced at the shining Masked HERO on Yuei Vuâs field and snorted.
âBy banishing the monsters in the GY, he can reduce the opponentâs attack power. He is indeed a very powerful and troublesome hero. If I attack rashly, I can be defeatedâŚâ
âNot bad.â Yuei Vu said lightly, âBecause of the increase in the number of your monsters, Kogaâs attack power has also increased.â
[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 2500 â ATK 4000]
""
The Dark Magician Girl clenched her small fists: âIf the attack power is 4000, itâs not so easy to defeat!â
After all, Kogaâs attack power is about equal to twice mine now!
âIt is indeed a very powerful hero.â Shien said, âbut a duel is a strategic competition between the two sides. The competition is not only about the strength of the subordinates but also the strategy of the commander. As long as the commander who is the backbone falls, no matter how strong your fighters are, they provide no threat.â
As he said that, he waved his arm and activated the Continuous Spell Card on his field.
âI send the Continuous Spell Card âShienâs Dojoâ to the graveyard to activate its effect! From my deck, Special Summon 1 âSix Samuraiâ or âShienâ Effect Monster, whose Level is less than or equal to the number of âBushido Countersâ placed on this card!â
âThe effect of âShienâs Dojoâ will place 1 Bushido Counter every time Six Samurai monsters are summoned,â Yuei Vu said, âthen there are a total of three Bushido Counters placed on this card now.â
âThatâs right, so I can special summon a Six Samurai monster whose level is 3 or lower from the deck.â
Shien sent the Spell Card to the GY, and the surrounding buildings immediately sank to the ground with rumbling noises. The dojo gave out a low roar, and the surging energy interweaved in the center of the open space, calling for new warriors to come.
âCome on, my most loyal warrior!â Shien pulled out the warrior he wanted to call, âThe Six Samurai â Yariza!â
The one who was summoned from the dojo was a warrior in blue and black armor holding a long spear. The black rope at the end of the gun handle was connected to the armor around his waist.
[The Six Samurai â Yariza, ATK 1000]
The Six Samurai â Yariza, whose prototype was Maeda Toshiie, a famous military Shogun in the Sengoku period, a retainer of the Oda family, known as âYari no Matazaâ.
âAt this moment, there are three Six Samurai monsters on my field.â Shien said, holding up a card in his hand, âLet me show you the real power of the Six Samurai!
Activate the Spell Card from the hand: Six Strike â Triple Impact!
This card can only be activated by selecting one of the three effects when there are 3 or more face-up âSix Samuraiâ monsters on my field: âDestroy all face-up monsters on the opponentâs fieldâ; âDestroy all face-up Spell/Trap Cards on the opponentâs fieldâ; or âDestroy all set Spell/Trap Cards on the opponentâs field. â
Shien narrowed his eyes, and his sharp eyes fell straight on the Masked HERO Koga whose attack power was now as high as 4500.
âFirst of all, of course, we have to get rid of that troublesome hero,â he waved his arm, âThe effect I chose is to destroy all the monsters on the opponentâs field!
As the card was inserted, the Spell Card emerged, and the three warriors of the Six Samurai formed a special formation, and launched a devastating charge toward Yuei Vuâs field from different angles!
If this blow was successful, Yuei Vuâs field would be directly cleared, and it was equal to his whole body being exposed naked in front of the four warriors!
Of course, Yuei Vu would not let this happen, he waved his arm: âActivate the Trap Card from the GY â Magician Navigation!â
Shien was startled: âActivate trap card in the GY?â
A black vortex opened up on the ground, and trap cards swirled out from the GY. They burned all their strength in mid-air and opened up a huge magic circle barrier.
âMagician Navigation can only be activated from GY when there is a âDark Magicianâ on my field!â Yuei Vu said, âI can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 face-up Spell/Trap the opponent controls; negate its effects until the end of this turn!
I will negate the effect of your Six Strike â Triple Impact! â
The three soldiers of the Six Samurai rushed forward aggressively, only to see the Dark Magician sweep his staff, and the huge magic circle immediately blocked their way. Their saber light only splashed the slightest sparks on the magic circle, completely unable to shake its defense.
Helpless, the three warriors had no choice but to return in vain and bowed themselves in front of the Shogun apologetically to plead guilty.
âI see⌠Thatâs why you sacrificed the more powerful âDark Magician of Chaosâ to resurrect the Dark Magician. Even this move was blocked⌠You are really good, I havenât seen such an excellent fighter like you for a long time,â Shien nodded approvingly, âBut itâs not over yet! Enter the Battle Phase!
Iâm going to attack with The Six Samurai â Yariza! â
The samurai in blue armor received the Shogunâs order without hesitation, and rushed out like a wild horse!
âEh? Attack with the monster with the lowest attack power?â The Dark Magician Girl was surprised.
Yuei Vu frowned: âThis guyâs special abilityâŚâ
Before the words fell, the blue warrior had already performed a strange movement technique, and disappeared out of thin air like a ghost!
âThatâs right, The Six Samurai â Yariza is a warrior with special abilities! When there are other Six Samurai on his side, he can directly attack the opposing player!â
Shien said, sneered, and waved his finger to the Continous Spell Card that was taking effect beside him.
âThen there is the effect of The A. Forces, you have not forgotten it, have you?â
âAll Warrior-Type monsters you control gain 200 ATK for each Warrior or Spellcaster-Type monster you control.â Yuei Vu frowned.
âThatâs right. I have four Warriors on the field, so the attack power of Yariza increased by 800!â
[The Six Samurai â Yariza, ATK 1000 â ATK 1800]
ăYuei Vu, LP 1800ă
âOops⌠Oh crap!â The Dark Magician Girl yelled, âIf this comes to pass, the masterâs LP willâŚâ
Yuei Vu didnât panic: âThe effect of Masked HERO Koga is activated! Banish âElemental HERO Liquid Soldierâ in the GY, and the attack power of The Six Samurai â Yariza will drop by Liquid Soldierâs ATK, which is 1400 points!â
Masked HERO Koga let out a low cry, and swung his knife to slice. The phantom of Liquid Soldier emerged in mid-air, turning into a stream of water and impacting Yariza, who was launching a sneak attack behind him.
[The Six Samurai â Yariza, ATK 1800 â ATK 400]
The left side of Yariza swayed, and the thrown flying spear missed its aim, and only passed Yuei Vuâs shoulder.
ăYuei Vu, LP 1800âLP 1400ă
âThatâs right, you can only do this, because this is the only way for you to survive Yarizaâs attack!â Shien raised his voice and shouted, âBut in this way, the effect of this troublesome Masked HERO cannot be used anymore!
Next is myself, Great Shogun Shien! Attack Masked HERO Koga! â
[Great Shogun Shien, ATK 3300]
[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 4500]
âUsing Shien, who has a lower attack powerâŚdoes he really have a backup?â Yuei Vu frowned.
âHmph, this is the level of arrangement that a commander should have. There will always be a backup!â Shien shouted, âOpen the set card! Trap Card â a trick!
Discard a monster card from your hand, until the end of the turn, the attack power of a monster on the field will be reduced by the discarded monsterâs attack power! â
Shien showed a card in his hand and quickly threw it into the graveyard.
âI discarded The Six Samurai â Yaichi from my hand until the end of the round, and Kogaâs attack power decreased by Yaichiâs attack power⌠that is 1300 points!â
[Masked HERO Koga, ATK 4500 â ATK 3200]
âAh!â The Dark Magician Girl exclaimed, âThe attack power has been overtakenâŚâ
Great Shogun Shien drew his blade out of its sheath, and the pitch-black blade sliced through the heroâs golden armor. The latter let out a miserable grunt, and exploded with a bang.
ăYuei Vu, LP 1400 â LP 1300ă
âNext is Grandmaster of the Six Samurai!â Shien shouted, âAttack the Dark Magician!â
The Grandmaster of the Six Samurai who appeared second also avenged the previous one. The Dark Magician who took a defensive posture was no match for this grandmaster at all. The magic circle he used to defend himself was easily shattered, and he was also shattered under the blade.
âThe last is Chamberlain of the Six Samurai!â Shien shouted, âAttack directly!â
[Chamberlain of the Six Samurai, ATK 1000]
The light of the knife flashed across Yuei Vuâs body. Yuei Vu swayed from the cold touch like a real blade piercing through his body and took half a step back.
ăYuei Vu, LP 1300 â LP 300ă
âIn this way, all my attacks will be over. Unfortunately, there is no way to completely reduce your LP to 0, butâŚâ
Shien drew the last two cards from his hand.
âFirst, Iâll set this card, and then activate the Spell Card â Card Destruction! Both players discard all the cards in their hands, and then draw the same number.â
After a pause, Shien snorted.
âOf course, I donât have any cards in my hand, so I wonât be affected. But the troublesome âForbidden Chaliceâ you got back in your hand last turn? Please discard it for me.â
Yuei Vu glanced at the cards in his hand, did not speak, and drew the same number after discarding them all.
âThis is the end of my turn.â Shien put down his hands, âCome on, this is my strongest lineup, my full power! If you can defeat it, come and try!â
