Chapter 17 The Oppression of the Black Magician and His Apprentice
"What a beautiful monster!"
Everyone was immediately drawn to the black magician girl, who was even more playful and adorable than the heroine of a shoujo manga.
Kyoko covered her face, her eyes sparkling: "Like a doll, so cute."
In the anime, Kyoko Masaki and the Dark Magician Girl had a bond during the Noa arc, playing cards together. Kyoko even considered the Dark Magician Girl to be her favorite monster at one point.
Of course, according to the storyline, this should be the first time that Masaki Kyoko has met the Dark Magician Girl, but that doesn't seem to stop Kyoko from falling in love with her at first sight. Perhaps this is a bond that transcends time.
"The Dark Magician Girl is the only disciple who inherited the power of the Dark Magician; therefore, for every Dark Magician card in the graveyard, the Dark Magician Girl's attack power increases by 300 points."
Kiryu Kagura pointed at the Dark Magician Girl: "Therefore, the Dark Magician Girl's attack power has increased by 300 points!"
[Dark Magician Girl, Attack Power 2000 → Attack Power 2300]
"A high-level monster with an attack power of 2300?"
"I'm surprised," the castle owner exclaimed.
Kagura Kiryu smiled and took out another card: "Not only that, I'll activate the Equip Spell Card, the Spellbook of Magic."
"This is an equipment magic card exclusively for Dark Magicians and their apprentices. It can only be equipped by Dark Magicians and Dark Magician Girls, increasing their attack power by 700 points!"
[Dark Magician Girl, Attack Power 2300 → Attack Power 3000]
"Attack power 3000?"
Jonouchi gasped, "Its attack power is comparable to Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon!?"
He glanced at the four tokens on his field and felt a little relieved: "However, even if you summon a high-level monster, I can at least get through this turn using these walls."
"That's not necessarily true."
Kiryu Kagura took out a card from his hand and inserted it into the Duel Disk. "Spell Card, Sage's Jewel. This can be activated if you control Dark Magician Girl. Special Summon 1 Dark Magician from your Deck and Graveyard!"
He took out his deck and placed the second Dark Magician on the Duel Disk.
"I summon the second Dark Magician!"
[Dark Magician, Attack Power 2500]
The Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl stood on the field, the renowned master and apprentice exuding a terrifying aura.
"Then, I activate my last card besides Magic Kuriboh, the Heavenly Treasure Card!"
"Both players draw six cards from their decks. Draw!"
Kagura Kiryu and Jonouchi simultaneously replenished their hands with six cards each. He looked at his hand and his eyes lit up.
"Is this what they call the bond with the deck?"
Kagura Kiryu felt a mysterious sensation when the black magician and his apprentice stood on the dueling field.
It seemed that every flow of blood and every heartbeat became clearer.
Is this what it feels like to have "dueling power" surging?
It's as if you can draw cards at will every time.
He took out a card from his hand and inserted it into the duel disk:
"I unleash a quick-attack spell! Black Burst Mage!"
Kiryu Kagura smiled slightly: "This card can only be activated if there is a card on my field whose original name is Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl."
His fingers traced the monsters on Jonouchi's field one by one: "Destroy all the cards on your opponent's field!"
"What?"
Not only those in the castle, but everyone else present besides the game couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Destroy everything?"
Bombing the entire arena? Is that even possible?
Honda exclaimed in shock, "A card this powerful? Isn't that cheating?"
Xiao Biao glanced at his deck with a slightly guilty look. It contained his ace monster, Destroyer Dragon Gandora.
(Gandora the Destroyer, Level 8, DARK, Dragon, ATK 0, Effect Monster.)
(This card cannot be Special Summoned. Pay half of your Life Points to destroy and banish all cards on the field except this card. Gain 300 ATK from the destroyed monster. During the End Phase of this turn, send this card to the Graveyard.)
He coughed lightly and said seriously, "It is indeed a powerful card, but this card requires both the Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl to be present at the same time to activate, which is a very demanding condition."
"Compared to the power of the card, the power of Kagura herself, who can skillfully use this card, is even more astonishing!"
That's true. The same deck can have vastly different performance levels depending on who uses it. At least Kagura Kiryu has never had a bad hand when using high-level Spellcaster monsters.
This is a manifestation of powerful dueling abilities in anime.
Take Yugi for example. In the anime, he could turn the tide of battle with a deck full of ordinary cards, like the one used by the kid. What did he rely on? A lucky draw, of course.
There's a saying that goes, "For true duelists, everything is inevitable; they can even create their own gacha pulls."
"Then, at this very moment, open the card!"
Jonouchi's expression turned serious: "Intimidating Roar! This turn, the opponent cannot declare an attack!"
"So that's one of your tricks?"
Kagura Kiryu chuckled: "Jonouchi isn't so easy to defeat after all."
To be honest, he seriously suspected that the card was just printed by Jonouchi, after all, he was just calculating the damage results with a serious expression.
Well, there's a tiny, but very small chance that it was intentionally staged by Jonouchi, since everyone knows that the God of Gamblers isn't good at acting.
"But all the cards on the field must still be destroyed!"
The Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl raised their staffs, crossed them, and unleashed a torrent of magic that swept across all the cards on the field.
The four scapegoat derivatives were destroyed, turning into specks of light and disappearing.
"Since I can't attack, I'll face down 3 cards. My turn is over."
Kiryu Kagura inserts three cards from her hand into the Spell & Trap Zone of the Duel Disk in sequence.
Three face-down cards were placed one after another to fill Kagura Kiryu's back row, creating a very imposing atmosphere.
Adding to the initial face-down card, Kagura Kiryu now has a total of four face-down cards in her back row, filling the field with a chilling, hellish atmosphere.
Within the castle, 4 blocks in the backcourt, please advise.
"Is it possible to use a trap tactic?"
Jonouchi felt a chill run down his spine. The opponent still had a Dark Magician Girl with 3000 attack power and a Dark Magician with 2500 attack power on the field. Was there really no way to defeat them?
His hand rested on the deck, but he hesitated, unable to draw the card.
He didn't have any cards in his hand that could handle the situation, so this draw would determine the outcome of the duel.
But what if...
"Within the castle!"
Little cousin shouted, "Shizuka is watching!"
"Even if you lose, it's okay. Show your dueling prowess!"
Jōnouchi awoke instantly, glancing at Shizuka, who was looking at him with worry in her eyes, and his heart trembled.
"Thanks, game!"
Jonouchi rallied, saying, "You're right. Whether it's for Shizuka or for a duelist's pride, I can't give up!"
He looked at Kagura Kiryu: "Kagura, you're strong, really strong! I've only ever felt this kind of overwhelming pressure from Yugi!"
"However, I, Jonouchi, am not the kind of duelist who cowers in fear! Just watch as I, Jonouchi, pull off my own unique card draw!"
Kagura Kiryu: ...
So, is all this preparation for a lucky draw to take me away with a single card?
"My turn, draw a card!"
The card traced a beautiful arc through the air, and the illusory figure of Yami Yugi beside Little Watch closed his eyes briefly, chuckling softly, "Jonnouchi..."
"It has become stronger."
