"Damn, you can actually duel in the ruins?!"
Upon reaching the ancient dueling grounds, Yugen and the Tomb Guardian stood side by side, while Judai looked on with frustration.
Why does it seem like Yugen always gets ahead of me when there are cards...
"Still, for Yugen to bargain with the opponent in that situation..." Marufuji Shou couldn't help but say.
Hayato nodded, "Indeed, he seems calm no matter what. I almost peed myself just now..."
Daidoji, holding a cat, also looked at Yugen speechlessly for a moment.
He increasingly felt that this student is not only a genius but also appears confident in everything.
This situation was clearly something I planned secretly, and I'm the one who deliberately led everyone to the specified location.
But why does it now feel like everything is unfolding according to Yugen's script...
"Duel!" x2
[Yugen, LP 4000]
[Tomb Guardian, LP 4000]
"I'll take the first move, drawing a card." The Tomb Guardian said in a deep voice, directly drawing two cards, then covering a monster in face-down defense position, and covering a card in the backfield. Turn ends."
"Then it's my turn, draw a card."
Yugen revealed the card he drew directly.
"Magic Card 'Angel's Charity', draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from the hand."
Yugen drew cards and sent two cards from his hand to the grave.
"One of the discarded cards is 'Card of Compensation', which allows me to draw two cards from the deck when sent from the hand to the grave." (original card)
"Hmph, accumulating graveyard resources right from the start, huh." The Tomb Guardian sneered, "In the land of eternal rest, any attempt towards the deceased is unforgivable."
Yugen could roughly guess his thoughts, probably like this—
——I'm playing the deck dedicated to the grave.
The Tomb Guard card deck gave him this confidence.
But Yugen just smiled, "Next, summon 'Abyss Soldiers'."
[Abyss Soldiers, Attack Power 1800]
"Abyss Soldiers effect, once per turn, discard a Water Attribute monster from hand, choose a card on the field and return it to the owner's hand."
Yugen sent a card from his hand to the grave.
"I'll send the Water Attribute monster 'Assassin Snake' to the grave, and return the cover card in the backfield to the hand."
The Abyss Soldiers swung their tridents, a stream of water burst forth, enveloping the opponent's backfield cover card.
"Then chain-activate this cover card, Trap Card 'Needle Insect's Nest'." The Tomb Guardian said, "Send the top five cards from the deck to the grave."
The Tomb Guardian sent his five cards to the grave sequentially, Yugen squinted at him.
Who was it just now that said my actions of sending to the grave were desecrating the deceased?
You mean tomb raiding spells death, unless it's us tomb guardians doing it?
"Then 'Abyss Soldiers', attack the covered monster." Yugen said.
The Abyss Soldiers flew forward, trident thrusting ahead.
[Tomb Guardian Summoner, Defense Power 1500]
The golden trident pierced the chest, the Summoner staggered back two steps, and with a bang, exploded.
When the Tomb Guardian Summoner is sent from the field to the grave, add a 'Tomb Guardian' monster with 1500 or lesser defense power to your hand from the deck."
The Tomb Guardian's deck glowed with a golden light, seemingly conducting a deck search.
"That won't do," Yugen pulled out another card from his hand, "I'll discard 'Skeleton King' from hand.
When a magic, trap, or monster effect activates in the opponent's grave, discard this card from the hand to negate the effect."
The ghost of the Tomb Guardian Summoner appeared on the field, ready to chant spells, but then the shadow of the Skeleton King emerged. The summoning technique was immediately locked and could only retreat weakly.
"This is indeed the sacred Valley of the Tomb Guardians." Yugen said sternly, "Disturbing the deceased, desecrating the sacred tomb guarding is unforgivable."
Tomb Guardian: "?"
Although it sounds somewhat reasonable, didn't you just steal my lines?
"As one who has a sacred duty to watch over the tombs, would it not be fitting to face stricter punishment than others for such acts of self-theft?" Yugen said, drawing two more cards, "Set three in the backfield, end of turn."
Tomb Guardian: "..."
How does it suddenly feel like he's taken the moral high ground?
"Hmph, then my turn, draw a card."
The Tomb Guardian drew a card heavily.
It's like saying, fine, I can't argue with you, let's see the real skills on the cards.
"Activate Magic Card 'Pot of Greed', draw two more cards from the deck." The Tomb Guardian drew, "Next is this card.
Magic Card - Earth Split! Destroy the monster with the lowest attack power on the opponent's field!"
The ground cracked open, a massive chasm suddenly opened under the Abyss Soldiers' feet. Soldiers slipped, fell into the abyss, and shattered into pieces.
"Only 'Abyss Soldiers' on the field, hence Abyss Soldiers destroyed." The Tomb Guardian said, "Then Normal Summon 'Tomb Guardian Priest'."
[Tomb Guardian Priest, Attack Power 500]
"Priest successfully summoned, can special summon a four-star 'Tomb Guardian' monster from the grave." The Tomb Guardian waved his arm, "Revive from the grave! Tomb Guardian Heretics!"
[Tomb Guardian Heretics, Attack Power 1800]
"Then activate Magic Card 'Double Summon', two normal summons this turn." The Tomb Guardian clenched his fist, "Therefore, sacrifice 'Tomb Guardian Priest' as a tribute!
With sacred power penalize the judgment one——
——Summon Tomb Guardian Grand Priest!"
[Tomb Guardian Grand Priest, Attack Power 2000]
"Eh?" Hayato exclaimed, "Only needs one sacrifice for an eight-star monster?"
"Though Tomb Guardian Grand Priest is an eight-star monster, using 'Tomb Guardian' monsters only requires one sacrifice for an upper-level summon." The Tomb Guardian said, "Moreover, the Priest gains power from the grave servants!
For each 'Tomb Guardian' monster in the grave, the Grand Priest gains 200 attack power!
Besides the summoned 'Tomb Guardian Heretics', my grave contains two 'Tomb Guardian' monsters sent by 'Needle Insect's Nest', plus the sacrificed 'Tomb Guardian Priest', and 'Tomb Guardian Summoner' destroyed last turn, totaling four cards.
Thus, Grand Priest's attack power increases by 800!"
[Tomb Guardian Grand Priest, Attack Power 2000→Attack Power 2800]
"Next, this card!"
The Tomb Guardian took a deep breath, solemnly drawing another card from his hand, then raising it high.
"The forbidden sacred land of the Royal Family that we've guarded for generations——
——Field SpellCard - Royal Valley of Eternal Rest, activate!"
As the Magic Card entered the field district, time seemed to freeze.
The surrounding scene changed abruptly, everything seemed to freeze into an eternal painting. The valley was surrounded by dense ancient forests, mist lingering between the treetops, like a transparent veil over the sacred forbidden land.
"Finally, the Royal Valley of Eternal Rest has appeared." Yugen chuckled, eyes glinting.
This is it.
The divine artifact he must acquire.
