Chapter 1193: Show Me Your Tamashi
Chapter 1193: Show Me Your Tamashi
"I send all three Continuous Traps, 'Triangular Barrier,' to the Graveyard!"
Youxuan raised his cards high.
"The Eternal Forge of the Abyss roars, the burning inferno pierces the heavens and earth, and the Elegy of the Phantom Devils begins! Rise—
—Mythical Flame Emperor Uria!!!"
The dome of the Apocalypse Altar turned blood red, and all the projections began to tremble violently. The three Continuous Traps were warped into spiraling pillars of fire, converging into a boiling lava vortex at the center of the field.
Burning claws tore through the magma, as if the flowing lava and obsidian formed the shell of a divine dragon. The red dragon, covered in scales, seemed to emerge from hell, shattering the earth. Its colossal head burst through the curtain of flames, its dark red body covered in lava cracks, and its eyes reflecting the burning hell in various forms.
The moment the Mythical Flame Emperor descended, the sky was filled with lava meteors raining down. The Dragon's wings of flame unfolded, and each flap was accompanied by a chain of explosions.
[Mythical Flame Emperor Uria, Attack Power?]
"Phantom Devil."
Yusei gritted his teeth, even the Dragon Mark on his hand seemed to sense the threat, warning him with a faint burning sensation.
Crow also said, "This pressure is no less intense than that of an Earthbound Immortal."
Yusei recalled the ace Goodwin had summoned during the battle with the Dark Signer Boma, which he had only glimpsed briefly that night.
Yeshen
The presence of that creature was no weaker than the Phantom Devil's, perhaps even stronger.
What other secrets and cards does this man have hidden?
The more he understood, the more he felt he was only seeing the tip of the iceberg of this person's true strength.
"The Mythical Flame Emperor Uria's Attack Power is determined by the number of Trap Cards in the Graveyard", Youxuan said. "I have three Continuous Traps, 'Triangular Barrier,' in my Graveyard.
Each one increases the Mythical Flame Emperor's Attack Power by 1000!"
[Mythical Flame Emperor Uria, Attack Power? → Attack Power 3000]
Crow: "Suddenly 3000 Attack Power?"
Youxuan: "Mythical Flame Emperor Uria's effect activates!
Once per turn, destroy all Trap Cards on your opponent's field, whether face-up or face-down!
Traps, be destroyed!"
The Mythical Flame Emperor roared, a sound wave exploding from its mouth and sweeping towards Crow's backfield.
"Such a powerful Trap suppression. But my Traps aren't afraid of this!"
Crow shouted.
"Activate the face-down card, Trap Card 'Black Wings Accelerate'!
When I have two or more 'Blackwing' monsters on the field, I can draw two cards!" (Original card)
Youxuan raised an eyebrow.
Black Wings Accelerate is a real card, but it's rather weak. In the real card game, you have to remove two 'Blackwing' Tuners from the field to draw two cards, which isn't very cost-effective. The original version is clearly much stronger.
"I have 'Blackwing - Armor Wing' and 'Blackwing - Gale of the Heavens' on the field, so I draw two cards!"
Crow drew two cards.
Youxuan didn't seem to mind; let Crow draw. But this left Crow with no backfield.
"Next, I activate the Field Spell 'Fallen Paradise'!"
The night sky split with jagged cracks, from which rusted bronze chains descended. Black trees shot up into the sky, their trunks adorned with grotesque green eyes.
Fallen Paradise is the Phantom Devil's strongest field, granting the controller an additional two card draw per turn. In the real card game, this field even enhances the Phantom Devil's resistance, making it immune to card effects and untargetable. The anime version doesn't have this resistance, but the Phantom Devil itself already has some inherent resistance.
"Fallen Paradise's effect, once per turn, if I have a Phantom Devil on the field, I can draw two cards."
Youxuan said.
"I have 'Mythical Flame Emperor Uria' on the field, so I draw two cards."
"Then, it's time for battle. 'Mythical Flame Emperor Uria,' attack 'Blackwing - Gale of the Heavens'!
Hyper Blaze Wave!"
The Mythical Flame Emperor's mouth opened, and the air was scorched into a twisted wave. A blinding red spot appeared in the depths of its throat.
Lava fountains burst from the dragon's cervical vertebrae, and a burning spiral torrent erupted from its mouth. Like the birth of a supernova, a pure white light disintegrated the Blackwing warrior into golden dust.
"Argh!"
[Crow/Jack/Yusei, LP 12000 → LP 11000]
The damage from the team Duel swept over all three of them, the violent flames searing their nerves and making them feel as if their souls were burning.
Crow: "So this is the real damage of a Darkness Duel."
In the original story, Crow had a Darkness Duel with Boma, but Boma was dealt with by Youxuan, so this was the first time Crow experienced a Duel that caused real damage.
Yusei looked at him with a complex expression. "The real damage of a Darkness Duel, Goodwin, you really..."
Yusei, known as the "bond master" among the Yu-Gi-Oh! generations, placed great importance on bonds and companions, which was the source of his strength. He had truly considered Goodwin a companion.
That's why he found it hard to believe that everything Goodwin had done was just an act, that he had been manipulating them all along for the sake of Yeshen's power.
"Of course", Youxuan continued his act. "This isn't just a bet on your lives, but on the fate of the world in a Darkness Duel.
Have you forgotten? When I win, the gates of the Underworld will open, and I will gain the power of the Underworld's ruler, reigning over this dimension!"
Well, he was just making it up. There were no gates to the Underworld, and no one would die regardless of the outcome of this Duel.
As for the real damage of the Darkness Duel...
It was just a touch to increase credibility.
"If you don't want to die and don't want this world to be destroyed, show me your true strength."
Youxuan said sternly.
"Place a card face-down, my turn ends."
Jack: "Don't get too cocky, Goodwin! Whether you were faking it before or have some schemes, I'll crush you with enough power!"
Well, Jack was a brute, but his philosophy wasn't entirely wrong, Youxuan had to admit.
"Sure, as long as you have the power to back it up."
Youxuan smiled and muttered to himself.
"So, Jack Atlas, do you have that power?"
Jack: "If there are monsters on the opponent's field and none on my field, I can Special Summon 'Malevolent Dragon' from my hand!"
[Malevolent Dragon, Attack Power 2000]
Youxuan: "?"
He was about to say, "Wait, you still have 'Blackwing - Armor Wing' on the field, so you have a monster..."
But then he remembered that the team Duel rules here seemed different from those in the previous world. The field was not entirely shared.
Just like in the classic battle where Paradox faced three Duel Kings, even when it was a teammate's turn, each player's monsters and backfield effects were still controlled by their respective controllers, and the current player couldn't use their teammate's cards freely.
So, it could be that in a "clear field", a teammate's monsters could protect each other, but they couldn't use each other's cards freely, and the field wasn't entirely shared.
"Fine, the details don't matter."
Youxuan shrugged and laughed.
"Then, show me your Tamashi."
