Chapter 1017: Silent Magician Zero
Chapter 1017: Silent Magician Zero
Level 13!
It felt like breaking through a barrier and entering a whole new realm. To many, it might seem that the Duel Monster World’s limit was only Level 12, and any higher levels would be beyond the rules and thus impossible.
But that wasn’t the case.
Level 12, like 5000 Attack Points, was merely the apparent ceiling.
Just as the Emperor Dragon’s 5000 Attack Points were once considered the highest possible on any monster card, with the evolution of the game, the Emperor Dragon has gradually become a mere "common card, not even worth the wall."
While the base Attack Point limit is 5000, it’s not difficult to exceed this with card effects and the monster’s own abilities. With the right buffs, achieving infinite Attack Points is entirely within the rules; 5000 is just the base limit.
The same applies to levels. Level 12 is the highest level that can be printed on a card, but it’s not the upper limit allowed by the rules. With enough effects to boost the level, even a Level 100 king would be recognized by the rules.
"Silent Magician Zero’s effect, Attack Points increase again with the level upgrade!"
[Silent Magician Zero, Attack Points 4000 → Attack Points 5500]
Silent, who had evolved back into her mature form, calmly twirled her staff, and an invisible aura radiated from her, creating a transparent vortex of magical energy.
"Wow, the evolved Silent is so cool!" Jou exclaimed, "She’s beautiful and powerful, and she even suppressed Yeshen!"
Yubel sneered, "So what?"
Jou laughed, "Ahaha, of course Yubel is amazing too."
Yubel: "I don’t need your insincere flattery."
She crossed her arms and looked away, sulking.
Jou: "."
On the other side, Divine Incarnate grunted heavily and glanced at Annihilator. "Useless trash, you can’t even handle a magician."
"You wasted the evolution chance for nothing; you’re completely useless!"
Annihilator was resentful but thought, _You act like you two aren’t afraid of magic either._ Magic effects are a weakness for divine beings. Except for the Winged Dragon of Ra in its Phoenix form, which has "immunity to all card effects", both high and low-tier gods must endure the effects of Magic Cards for one turn.
_It’s not just me who’s weak against magic, so why are you only scolding me?_
Of course, he had to nod and agree, saying, "Yes, big brother, you’re right. I failed to live up to your expectations."
There was no choice; he was the weakest of the three, and after losing the team battle, he was the only one to blame.
"Trash!"
Divine Incarnate cursed again, his gaze on Youxuan growing even colder.
The Winged Dragon of Ra, the Golden Cabinet, and now this Silent Magician’s sprite. He was starting to see more and more of the Pharaoh and his partner in this person.
Could it be that detestable Pharaoh duo again?
No, that’s impossible.
The Pharaoh is long gone; it has to be that way.
They won’t fail again; they can’t. They can’t live forever in the shadow of the Pharaoh and the Godlike Deity.
This battle is a last stand for the three of them. They can’t afford to lose again!
"My turn, Draw!"
Yeshen roared, and the act of drawing a card stirred a whirlwind of darkness, the aura expanding like a Mount Tai shadow, oppressing the entire field.
But before he could make any move, Youxuan snapped her fingers.
"The moment you drew a card, Silent Magician Zero’s effect was already activated!
Every time your opponent draws a card, Silent Magician Zero’s level increases by one star!"
[Silent Magician Zero, Level 13 → Level 14]
[Silent Magician Zero, Attack Power 5500 → Attack Power 6000]
Attack Power of 6000.
Yeshen gritted his teeth.
At this rate, this guy’s Attack Power would automatically increase every turn. And if he used cards that accelerated drawing or even just replaced cards in his hand, it would easily cause another significant boost to this thing’s Attack Power.
"I activate the Magic Card, 'Banishment of the Fallen Angel'!" Yeshen declared. "This card can only be activated once per turn, allowing me to add any 'Fallen Angel' card from my deck to my hand!"
This card could search for any card, not just any monster, meaning both monsters and traps were within its range. It was a powerful search tool that could be used to set up, enhance resistance, or clear the field.
Youxuan, of course, wasn’t about to let him go through with it so easily: "Silent!"
Silent, already on high alert, was ready to act. The moment Youxuan gave the order, the golden staff in Silent’s hand extended, and a vortex of white light shot out, striking the Magic Card Yeshen had activated in his backfield. The binding spell immediately enveloped the Magic Card, chaining it down, and the golden glow that had been emanating from the card quickly faded.
Yeshen’s expression darkened. "Does this Silent Magician inherit the abilities of the 'True Silent' form as well?"
"And even more so", Youxuan smiled. "When Silent Magician Zero is on the field and the Golden Cabinet is present, once per turn, when the opponent activates a Magic Card, the activation is negated!
And after that, Silent Magician Zero’s level increases by one star!"
A stream of white energy was extracted from the Magic Card in Yeshen’s backfield, flowing into Silent’s body like a flood of magic power.
Silent Magician’s strength increased once again, the magic surging like a transparent force field exploding outward.
[Silent Magician Zero, Level 14 → Level 15]
[Silent Magician Zero, Attack Power 6000 → Attack Power 6500]
Level 15, Attack Power 6500!
Unlike the previous "True Silent Magician" form, where the Attack Power was determined by the number of cards in the controller’s hand—meaning maintaining high attack pressure required holding cards, and using cards would sacrifice Attack Power—Silent Magician Zero was different. Her Attack Power increased based on her level, and once a level was gained, it wouldn’t automatically decrease. As long as she stayed on the field, her power would only grow as the duel progressed.
Yeshen couldn’t let this spirit continue unchecked.
With the Golden Cabinet and Silent on the field, even Yeshen began to feel the pressure.
"I activate the Magic Card, 'Altar of the Fallen Angel'!"
Youxuan raised an eyebrow.
This again.
Previously, "Fallen Angel Mostima" had copied the effect of the Altar from the graveyard, and the Altar was then shuffled back into the deck. It seemed he had drawn it again.
However, since then, he had drawn many more cards. Even without considering the influence of fate, it wasn’t surprising that he would draw it again.
Yeshen glared at Silent.
"This turn, I will make this troublesome magician retreat!"
