Chapter 783: The Arrival of Sacrificial Demon
"It's my turn, drawing a card."
Bercas stood up straight, his expression now completely serious.
"I activate the Spell Card, Skyfall Treasure."
Bercas revealed the drawn card.
"Both players draw cards until they have six cards in their hand."
Both players drew cards from their decks.
"Next, I activate the Ritual Spell, Ritual Preparations!" Bercas declared, "From your deck, select one Ritual Spell Card, and then choose a Ritual Monster from your deck or graveyard whose name is described on that Ritual Spell Card. Add both cards to your hand."
"A Ritual Spell?" Joey quickly made a connection, "Masaka (Could it be)..."
"Indeed, it's that Masaka."
Bercas' cold laughter, he pulled out his deck, which was mounted on the Duel Disk, and quickly selected a card to add to his hand.
Indeed, as the father of Duel Monsters and CEO of Fantasy International, Bercas surprisingly still used the old-fashioned Duel Disk, without the automatic search and shuffling functions of Kaiba Corporation's new model.
However, Bercas was a nostalgic person by nature. In fact, during the era when Duel Disks were prevalent, as seen in the Light of the Golden Pyramid movie, Bercas never used a Duel Disk and insisted on using his old, cumbersome Duel Field equipment. He was even ridiculed by Kaiba for being an old-fashioned relic.
Even the current Duel Disk was something he had only recently started using.
"I add the Ritual Spell, Fantasy Ritual, and the Ritual Monster described on it, Sacrificial Demon, to my hand."
"So, Sacrificial Demon is about to make an appearance?" Joey prepared himself.
Sacrificial Demon, a monster that had once given Yugi a hard time and left a deep psychological shadow on the young audience—Joey couldn't forget about it.
He knew this was one of Bercas' most prized possessions, a trump card he only revealed when facing opponents he deemed even his Cartoon characters might struggle against.
"I activate the Ritual Spell, Fantasy Ritual! By offering monsters from my hand or field with a total Level of 1 or higher as a Tribute, I Ritual Summon Sacrificial Demon from my hand! I Tribute the Cartoon Black Mage on my field!"
The Cartoon Black Mage covered her eyes in fear, and then she was engulfed by a swirling darkness.
Green light pierced through the dark mist, as if a massive, mysterious altar stood in the void. Sharp claws like blades in the abyss, a massive body adorned with a single glowing green eye, as if peering from another dimension, exuding an indescribable terror.

"It's here, Sacrificial Demon," Joey clenched his teeth, "The monster that once left Yugi helpless..."
"Hahaha, good, it seems you still remember that fear." Bercas laughed, "Let me refresh your memory!
The effect of Sacrificial Demon allows me to absorb one of your opponent's monsters as an Equip Card once per turn, gaining its ATK and DEF!"
Bercas waved his hand triumphantly.
"Your bond of friendship, Demon Tyrant · Malevolent Devil Dragon, will be mine!"
Sacrificial Demon's green eyes slowly opened, followed by a surging darkness. The formality or about the duel, feel free to ask.
As the flames reignited, they appeared on the opponent's field.
The Demon Tyrant · Malevolent Devil Dragon had already been absorbed into the Sacrificial Demon's body.
[Sacrificial Demon, ATK 0 → ATK 3200]
"Oh, look at that, such a beautiful figure!" Bercas taunted with a mocking smile, "Your friendship's crystallization is indeed remarkable."
A twitch formed at the corner of City Within's mouth.
"You damn Bercas!"
Just you wait, I'll show you.
"Battle!" Bercas said with a mischievous grin, "To die at the hands of the embodiment of your friendship is a fitting end, City Within Boy.
Sacrificial Demon, direct attack on City Within Boy!"
The Sacrificial Demon released another cloud of black mist, as if an invisible hand was enveloping the Malevolent Devil Dragon. The Demon Dragon moved like a puppet, mechanically waving its claws, and a burning fireball headed straight for City Within.
"But the Sacrificial Demon can only absorb attack points and not the monster."
As the fireball was about to hit, the raging flames were clearly reflected in City Within's pupils. At the critical moment, he pressed the button on the back of his Duel Disk.
"Activating a Set Trap Card, 'Super Z Vitality Enhancer'! When I take battle damage of 2000 or more, during damage calculation, I recover 4000 Life Points!"
[City Within, LP 2000 → LP 6000]
The erupting flames followed immediately. The damage, converted to a certain extent into real harm, nearly blew City Within off the ground, sending him spinning through the air and landing heavily, his body smoking and disheveled.

[City Within, LP 6000 → LP 2800]
Such an exaggerated blowback effect would have left a normal person severely injured if not killed outright.
However, as is well known, those who duel regularly have physical qualities that surpass ordinary people, not to mention someone like City Within, who, in his prime, could physically withstand the Dark Duel and fight alongside Baron in armor.
After being blown into the air and spinning for so long, he only stayed down for three seconds before quickly regaining his footing and wiping the corner of his mouth.
"You damn Bercas, that really hurt!"
"Your mental state is impressive, City Within Boy."
Bercas smiled with a hint of amusement.
"You may have indeed improved a lot, but unfortunately, it doesn't change anything."
City Within furrowed his brows.
"What do you mean?"
"It means that, although you're called a legendary Duelist, you're actually insignificant."
Bercas spoke calmly.
"People call you a legend, but when they talk about you, they only mention 'the best friend of the original Duel King.'"
"But if you take off that filter, you should know that you're just an ordinary person."
Half of Bercas's face was hidden beneath his long hair, and the other half was shaded, giving him a somewhat eerie appearance.
"You're an insignificant person who, due to various coincidences, is always drawn into the world of the extraordinary. But even so, it doesn't mean you've become like them."
"You've survived countless battles between gods and demons up until now, relying only on luck. But luck eventually runs out, and when that day comes, what will you do?"
