The Immortal Monster
Lightforce Sword, which could randomly remove a card in the opponent's hand from the game, and seal it until the opponent's 4th Standby Phase, was also a classic card.
This card was commonly used in Yami Yugi in animation. Originally, Yuei Vu got this card not long after his rebirth, but it was completely useless at that time. He didn't expect it to be useful after so long.
It stood to reason that in a normal duel, after activating Lightforce Sword, the player needed to randomly pick a card from the opposing player's hand facing away from him.
However, in the original animation, when Yami Yugi fought against Kaiba, the president laughed and posed, holding up the "Obelisk the Tormentor" in his hand, saying that he was going to summon the god.
So Yugi made a decisive decision, directly opened Lightforce Sword, and said that "I want to seal the card you are holding up to show off". So the president's Obelisk was nailed to the floor for three turns…
His performance gave Yuei Vu a revelation. At that time, he was startled "OMG, it can still be used like this!"
Could it be possible to wait for the opponent to raise the key card to show off to activate?
As we all knew, in the animation, whenever an important character played cards, before summoning the trump card or launching the key card, it was necessary to pose and shout lines. So here Yuei Vu imitated Yugi's operations, waiting for the moment when Dartz was posing, and used Lightforce Sword to directly nail "The Seal of Orichalcos" to the wall behind.
Dartz didn't feel so good about this.
Now it wouldn't be strange for him to give up playing cards, rush up and play with Yuei Vu by his fists…
Well, of course, as a high-end villain, he couldn't do such an indecent thing. Dartz just snorted, but didn't say much, just had a gloomy face: "I'll set two more cards and end my turn."
There are two extra set cards at Dartz's feet.
"Then at the end of the turn, I continue to discard the extra cards in my hand until the number of cards in my hand becomes six."
"My turn, draw!"
Yuei Vu drew the card, and his eyes first fell on the lingering Orichalcos Gigas on Dartz's field.
Although under Yuei Vu's continuous interference, Dartz's tactics lacked the two key cards The Seal of Orichalcos and Orichalcos Kyutora, this unkillable Gigas was also a bit annoying.
At first, the attack power of this thing was only 400, which was not worth mentioning at all. However, its attack power has soared to 2400 points at this moment, and the threat was getting bigger and bigger.
If he couldn't solve this thing, there was no point in summoning more monsters.
But now Yuei Vu had a countermeasure.
"Activate Quick-Play Spell – Dedication through Light and Darkness!"
The card in Yuei Vu's hand was inserted into the Duel Disk, and the spell card appeared in front of him. The picture drawn on the card was a more powerful mage who mastered the power of chaos and was upgraded from the Dark Magician.
"Take the 'Dark Magician' on the field as a sacrifice!"
Yuei Vu pulled out the deck, picked out the cards, and at the same time, a mass of dark magic power absorbed his Dark Magician into it.
"Appear! The top magician who masters the power of chaos and is proficient in the most advanced magic—Dark Magician of Chaos!"
The pitch-black magic power erupted like flames, and a slender magician in strong attire came to the field, his staff whirling like a windmill in his hand, and his black hair fluttering behind him.
[Dark Magician of Chaos, ATK 2800]
Dartz seems to understand his intention: "Dark Magician of Chaos is the highest level of existence even among all magicians. He can completely wipe out the target he attacks from existence, even destroying the soul…"
"Exactly." Yuei Vu explained, "The effect of the Dark Magician of Chaos – The monsters destroyed by him through battles are not sent to the graveyard, but are directly removed from the game."
"Orichalcos Gigas can only be resurrected from the graveyard infinitely. What if it is directly banished? Even it can't come back to the field again… It is indeed a beautiful response. But! Things won't be that easy–
— Open the set card! Trap Card – Destruction Ring! "
A ring with a lit fuse was projected, which was put on the thick finger of the ugly giant on the Dartz field.
"Destruction Ring's effect – Destroy 1 face-up monster on my side of the field to inflict 1000 points of damage to both players' Life Points." Dartz sneered, pointing to the monster in front of him.
"I destroyed the 'Orichalcos Gigas' on my own field!"
Dark Magician Girl who floated beside Yuei Vu and acted as a guardian was surprised: "He destroys his own monster?"
"Orichalcos Gigas will continue to be resurrected." Yuei Vu narrowed his eyes, "But if he is resurrected again, his attack power will reach 2900."
Dark Magician Girl was surprised: "Ah! That's it! If that's the case, master… the Dark Magician of Chaos will not be able to defeat it!"
The prerequisite for the Dark Magician of Chaos to banish the opponent's monster was that it must be destroyed in battle first. If the opponent's attack power exceeded his own, the ultimate magician was obviously helpless.
But Yuei Vu has already thought of it: "Activate a Quick-Play Spell from the hand – My Body as a Shield! This card can only be activated when a Spell/Trap Card or monster effect that would destroy a monster(s) on the field is activated! Pay 1500 LP, negate the activation, and destroy that card!"
The ring on Orichalcos Gigas's hand instantly shattered, turning into a bolt of lightning and hitting Yuei Vu's body.
With Dartz's level of strength, the materialization of the three-dimensional images in this duel between the two sides was already equivalent to a very high level of Shadow Game. The impact of 1,500 health points still hurt a little bit. This blow made Yuei Vufei take a few steps back, kneeling on the ground, with black smoke all over his body.
[Yuei Vu, LP 2100 → LP 600]
"Master…Master!" Dark Magician Girl was at a loss for what to do with worry.
"It's okay." Yuei Vu smiled, stood up, and looked at Dartz coldly, "But because of the effect of 'My Body as a Shield', Gigas' attack power remains the same!
Battle! Dark Magician of Chaos, attack Orichalcos Gigas! "
The staff in the magician's hand was spinning. The torrent of magic power blasted out with a roar that pierced through the air, and it contained an impact that could wipe out the soul and blast toward the giant spirit on Dartz's field.
The dark magic power was like an endless river. It seemed to dye the whole world into a pitch-black color. Orichalcos Gigas was engulfed by the deep chaos, its result was inevitable!
"Heh, as expected of the current Duel King, the tactics are indeed meticulous enough." Dartz smiled lightly, followed by a cold look, and said in a deep voice, "But! It's still a step short to say that it's perfect.
Open the set card! Trap Card – Destruct Potion! "
With a wave of Dartz's arm, the cover in front of him was opened. The majestic darkness was released from the face of the trap card, turning into a huge claw and pinching Orichalcos Gigas on Dartz's own field, pinching it into pieces before the magician of chaos attacked!
When the majestic and tyrannical chaotic magic power hit, he was powerlessly thrown into the air.
"What!?" Yuei Vu was surprised.
"Destruct Potion can destroy a monster on my field." Dartz explained with a sneer, "Then I gain Life Points equal to its ATK."
[Dartz, LP 1800 → LP 4200]
Dark Magician Girl couldn't help being frustrated: "Ah? What's the matter? The life value recovered to 4200 in one go… Isn't it all in vain so far?"
"It's not just that." Dartz smiled, "As I said, Orichalcos Gigas will be resurrected no matter how many times it falls. Come back to the field and become stronger! Orichalcos Gigas!"
The vortex of the underworld opened up, and the giant spirit dragging a heavy chain in its hand returned to the field with a low roar.
[Orichalcos Gigas, ATK 2400 → ATK 2900]
Yuei Vu frowned.
Sure enough, this guy was indeed a boss who has the courage to challenge Yami Yugi and Kaiba at the same time. It was quite difficult to deal with him.
In order to maximize the regeneration ability of Orichalcos Gigas, Dartz would naturally prepare a lot of cards specially used for self-destruction in the deck.
Let Gigas self-destruct not only refreshed the number of resurrections to increase its attack power but also be used to avoid the opponent's attacks and effects through self-destruction.
It really made sense. No matter if Gigas was destroyed by battle or effect, it would regenerate infinitely, of course, Dartz himself could think of its only weakness. Whether it was removed from the game or bounced back into the deck, this monster could be solved.
So Dartz's response here was somewhat similar to Yuei Vu's usual "Mask Change". When Dartz's own Gigas becomes the target of the opponent's effect, he could launch a trap to blow up his own monster first, and make the opponent's effect lose the target, and then let Gigas revive by its own effect.
In this way, not only it dodged the opponent's effect, but it also refreshed the number of resurrections to further increase the attack power, making it more difficult to deal with.
"When Gigas is resurrected again, the effect of 'Card of Safe Return' is activated, and I will draw three more cards…Of course, this is the same for you."
Dartz drew three cards and added them to his hand.
Yuei Vu didn't say a word but also drew three cards.
"However, because of the resurrection of Gigas, a battle replay will occur." Dartz said lightly, "How about it, do you want to continue attacking?"
[Dark Magician of Chaos, ATK 2800]
[Orichalcos Gigas, ATK 2900]
There was obviously no point in continuing to attack, as it was already impossible to defeat Gigas with the magician's attack power. Yuei Vu ignored him and drew three cards from his hand.
"Set three cards, and I end my turn."
"Is there nothing you can do?" Dartz looked at the extra set cards on the field and chuckled, "It seems that you can only go so far after all."
"At the moment the turn ends, the effect of 'Dark Magician of Chaos' is activated. At the end of the turn, I can add a Spell Card from the graveyard back to my hand."
Yuei Vu explained blankly, then a card popped up in the GY area. He turned it over and showed it to Dartz.
"I take the Continuous Spell Card 'Prohibition' back to my hand."
Dartz's facial muscles twitched undetectably…
