Tenma Tsukiko: "All my Equip Cards in the Graveyard are Summoned as monsters!"
[United We Stand, ATK 500]
[Axe of Despair, ATK 500]
[Gemini Elf, ATK 500]
[Mage Power, ATK 500]
Manjoume and Asuka were both shocked. This bizarre effect was something they had never seen before.
Four humanoid figures appeared on Tsukiko's field, all like flickering entities constructed purely from energy. Some held swords, some held axes, and others held staffs, instantly filling Tsukiko's entire field.
"'Armed Reincarnation's' subsequent effect: Equip Cards summoned by this effect can be treated as equipped monsters and gain the respective effects of those Equip Cards!"
Tsukiko continued.
"United We Stand's effect: The equipped monster's ATK increases by 800 for each monster on my field! I have five monsters on my field, so its ATK increases by 4000!"
[United We Stand, ATK 500 â ATK 4500]
"Axe of Despair: The equipped monster's ATK increases by 1000!"
[Axe of Despair, ATK 500 â ATK 1500]
"Gemini Elf: The equipped monster's ATK increases by 300!"
[Gemini Elf, ATK 500 â ATK 800]
"Mage Power: The equipped monster's ATK increases by 500 for each Spell/Trap Card on your field," Yoko said. "Since Equip Cards on the field are treated as both monsters and Spell Cards, I have 4 Spell/Trap Cards on my field. Mage Power's ATK increases by another 2000!"
[Mage Power, ATK 500 â ATK 2500]
"It's not over yet. Next, I activate the Magic Card 'Powerful Rebirth'!" Tsukiko said. "Until the end of this turn, all Equip Monsters on my field increase the ATK of other monsters of the same Type by 500!" (Original card)
This was also a card Tsukiko used in the manga. Armed Reincarnation combined with Powerful Rebirth was his common combo for an One-Turn Kill.
"I have four Equip Monsters on my field. Each one gives an additional 500 ATK to the other three monsters of the same Type. So each Equip Card gains 1500 ATK from the other three of its kind!"
[United We Stand, ATK 4500 â ATK 6000]
[Mage Power, ATK 2500 â ATK 4000]
[Axe of Despair, ATK 1500 â ATK 3000]
[Gemini Elf, ATK 800 â ATK 2300]
Manjoume and Asuka's expressions both changed: "Suddenly so many powerful monsters!"
"Monsters with 6000 and 4000 ATK," Manjoume said in a deep voice. "And it's only his second turn. Is this the strength of a legendary duelist?"
"Battle!" Tsukiko said. "'United We Stand,' attack 'Blade Knight'!"
United We Stand, with its 6000 ATK, would be an instant kill with one direct hit!
"Then I activate my Set card, Trap Card 'Monster Reborn'!" Yugen said. "I return one monster on my field to my hand, then Special Summon a monster with Level 4 or lower from my hand.
I return 'Blade Knight' to my hand."
Blade Knight transformed into a golden light, narrowly retreating under the heavy pressure.
"Then I Special Summon 'Apprentice Magician' in Defense Position!"
[Apprentice Magician, DEF 800]
"Using monster substitution to defend? Then continue to attack 'Apprentice Magician'!"
United We Stand delivered a punch, and Apprentice Magician exploded into smithereens.
And as expected, Yugen, according to the card's effect, had another golden light fly out from his Deck.
"Apprentice Magician's effect: When this card is destroyed by battle, I can set one Spellcaster-Type monster with Level 2 or lower from my Deck in face-down Defense Position on the field. I set a second 'Apprentice Magician'."
Tsukiko frowned: "Then first, use 'Chiron the Mage' to destroy the second Apprentice Magician."
The red light from the staff destroyed the face-down monster, but then another golden light flew out.
"Then I set the third 'Apprentice Magician' face-down."
"But this way, you'll have exhausted all the 'Apprentice Magicians' in your Deck."
Tenma Tsukiko smiled.
"I still have three monsters on my field that haven't attacked. As long as one attack gets through, it'll be over."
Yugen nodded: "It seems that's indeed the case."
"He's not nervous at all, meaning he still has a way," Tsukiko felt somewhat anticipation. He waved his hand and continued to command, "Then 'Gemini Elf' attacks the third 'Apprentice Magician'."
The sword light fell, and the set monster was destroyed again. However, another golden beam of light immediately flew out.
"Then this time, I set 'Old Vindictive Magician,' a Level 2 DARK monster, face-down on the field."
Tsukiko said: "Use 'Axe of Despair' to attack!"
The energy-constructed humanoid figure, holding an axe, brought it down with the force of splitting a mountain. The set monster was instantly split open. Before retreating, the old magician desperately swung his staff, and a beam of curse light shot out from it.
"'Old Vindictive Magician,' Flip Effect activate," Yugen said. "When flipped, I can choose one monster on your opponent's field and destroy it.
I destroy 'Mage Power,' which is being used as a monster!"
The curse light pierced through the transparent energy humanoid. The only remaining Equip Monster on Tsukiko's field that had not yet declared an attack, "Mage Power," instantly shattered and dissipated.
"He defended against even that... Impressive. This way, I truly have no more monsters to attack with."
Tsukiko drew two cards from his hand.
"Then I set two more cards. Turn end," he smiled faintly. "No wonder Yoko spoke so highly of you."
"Then, the moment the End Phase begins, I activate my Set card. Trap Card 'Judgment of the Pharaoh'." Yugen said. "If the number of cards on your opponent's field is greater than the combined total of cards in your hand and on your field, draw cards from your Deck equal to that difference."
Tsukiko said: "I have four monsters and two Set cards on my field."
"And I have two cards in my hand, and only 'Judgment of the Pharaoh' on my field," Yugen said. "Therefore, I draw three cards."
Yugen drew three cards in one go, and the image of the Set Trap Card gradually faded and disappeared.
"Then it's my turn, draw."
Yugen drew another card.
"I Summon 'Prayer of Nephthys' in Defense Position."
[Prayer of Nephthys, DEF 2000]
"Prayer of Nephthys's effect: Once per turn, I can destroy one card in my hand to add one 'Nephthys' monster, except 'Prayer of Nephthys', from my Deck to my hand.
Therefore, I destroy one card in my hand to add 'Disciple of Nephthys' from my Deck to my hand."
After searching his Deck, Yugen then drew two more cards.
"Then I set two more cards. Turn end."
Is he mainly focused on consolidating his defenses?
Tenma Tsukiko studied his Set cards in the back row, then looked at the defending Prayer Girl on Yugen's field.
He destroyed a card from his hand to activate a search effect.
The destroyed card in hand...
Tsukiko was thoughtful.
"...My turn, draw," Tsukiko said. "I activate the Magic Card 'Pot of Greed'! I draw two more cards from my Deck."
Tsukiko frowned slightly. There should undoubtedly be defensive measures among the Set cards in the back row, but he currently had no back-row removal cards in hand.
As a duelist, at this point, his only option was to charge forward and attack.
"Battle!" Tsukiko said. "First, 'United We Stand,' attack 'Prayer of Nephthys'!"
The effect of the Magic Card 'Powerful Rebirth' from the previous turn only lasted for one turn, and the number of monsters on the field had changed to four. United We Stand's effect now gave it an ATK increase of 800 for each monster on his field, which was 3200 ATK.
Adding the Equip Monster's base 500 ATK, its ATK changed to 3700.
[United We Stand, ATK 3700]
"I activate the Trap Card 'Waboku'!" Yugen said. "This turn, my monsters cannot be destroyed by battle, and any battle damage I would take becomes 0."
United We Stand's punch was about to land, but the heavy blow simply struck a transparent barrier, achieving nothing.
"I see, a truly defensive Trap. Then there's no point in battling. So my Battle Phase ends, but my turn continues."
Tsukiko drew another card from his hand.
"I Tribute 'Gemini Elf,' which is being used as a monster on my field, to Tribute Summonâ"
"âLevel 5, 'Catapult Turtle'!"
"Hm?"
Yugen raised an eyebrow.
It seems another incredible card has appeared?
