Chapter 784: The Evolution of Red-Eyes
Chapter 784: The Evolution of Red-Eyes
"Is your luck running out?"
Joey closed his eyes lightly.
He let out a hum, a strange laugh that was even a little chilling.
"Oh? What's so funny?" asked Bercas, narrowing his eyes.
"No, it's nothing." Joey chuckled lightly, "I just suddenly felt that, Bercas, you..."
He lifted his head, his eyes carrying a hint of disdain.
"Without the Millennium Eye, you're indeed just a second-rate Duelist."
"What did you say?"
Bercas' face instantly turned red with anger.
But he controlled it well and immediately returned to his usual self.
"Is that so, Boy? It seems you've gained some ability now. But let's see if you have the strength to match this confidence of yours.
I'll Set two cards."
He drew two more cards and waved his hand to Set them.
"End my turn."
"As you wish, let me show you the power of this old man.
My turn, draw!"
Joey drew a card, but his action paused as he glanced at his opponent's back row.
There were three Set cards, one of which was the "Holy Shield - Reflective Force" that failed to activate last turn.
Bercas might have thought that Joey had forgotten about it, but unfortunately, Joey had a good memory.
In any case, he had to find a way to deal with Reflective Force first. Without Malevolent Devil Dragon, he no longer had a way to counter traps, so he had to be cautious in his attacks.
"Activate the Spell Card, 'Angel's Grace'."
Joey placed the card on the Duel Disk.
"Draw three cards from your Deck, then discard two cards from your hand."
He currently had no means to bypass traps.
"Please, my Deck, give me some strength."
Joey drew a card.
"I'll Set three cards in the back row." Joey said, "Then, I activate the Spell Card, 'Notebook Annihilation'! Both players discard their entire hand, then draw the same number of cards from their Decks!"
Three more Set cards appeared in Joey's back row. Then he discarded his hand and drew more cards from his Deck.
Bercas also drew a card and hummed, "Trying to find a breakthrough by drawing cards?"
"Not yet," Joey said, "Notebook Annihilation discarded the Spell Card, 'Skyfall Treasure'. I can draw two more cards from my Deck."
After drawing a large number of cards, Joey smiled.
"As grandpa said, no matter when, as long as you believe, the Deck will always respond."
Joey's grandfather was not his own grandfather but Yugi's grandfather, the famous Millennium hostage, and Joey's Dueling mentor, Sugoroku Mutou.
"Normal Summon 'Red-Eyes Iron Knight - Kiyafried'!"
Iron Knight Kiyafried, a popular monster Joey often used in the early days, had once enjoyed considerable popularity due to its decent 1800 ATK and cool design.
And this Red-Eyes Iron Knight was Iron Knight Kiyafried's new form. Over the years, Iron Knight had also ridden the wave of Red-Eyes' popularity and became part of the series as a noble Red-Eyes monster.
[Red-Eyes Iron Knight - Kiyafried, ATK 1800]
"Then, I'll activate the effect of 'Black Steel Dragon' in my hand," Joey said, "During your Main Phase, you can select a 'Red-Eyes' monster on your field and equip the Black Steel Dragon in your hand or on the field to that monster."
"To a Red-Eyes monster," Bercas said, "I see, so Iron Knight Kiyafried has also evolved to become a part of the Red-Eyes family?"
"That's right. So, equip Black Steel Dragon to Red-Eyes Iron Knight! The equipped monster gains 600 ATK!"
Joey smiled.
"But you shouldn't have forgotten about Iron Knight's original effect, should you, President Bercas?"
"Iron Knight Kiyafried is a monster that cannot be equipped with any cards." Bercas, as the father of Duel Monsters, had this level of knowledge, "Any equipment cards equipped to Iron Knight will be destroyed."
"That's right. Red-Eyes Iron Knight also inherits a similar effect, but it's even more powerful!
Red-Eyes Iron Knight can activate this effect once per turn when it has an equipment card equipped to it.
"Destroy that Equip Spell Card, then select and destroy a Magic or Trap Card in your opponent's Spell & Trap Zone!"
Jounouchi pointed at Bercas' Trap Card that had been face-down since the previous turn and had yet to be activated.
"Destroy your face-down Trap Card, 'Holy Shield - Reflective Force'!"
The Black Steel Dragon, which had just been equipped to the Iron Knight, suddenly exploded with a loud boom. The Iron Knight swung his blade, and the resulting sword energy sliced Bercas' face-down card in two, revealing it to be the Reflective Force.
"Tsk."
Bercas clicked his tongue.
What a waste, the Supreme Shield never got to show its full potential in the end.
"Furthermore, the 'Black Steel Dragon' that was destroyed by the Iron Knight's effect has something to say." Jounouchi smiled, "When the Black Steel Dragon is sent from the field to the Graveyard, add a 'Red-Eyes' monster from your Deck to your hand."
Jounouchi searched his Deck and drew a Red-Eyes card, showing it to Bercas.

"I add 'Red-Eyes Abyssal Dragon' from my Deck to my hand!"
"The Iron Knight and the Black Steel Dragon destroyed my Reflective Force, dismantling my defenses, and their destruction effects also triggered a search and retrieval." Bercas' expression turned solemn.
Although he verbally dismissed Jounouchi as a mere mortal with beginner's luck, there was also an element of trash-talking, a normal psychological tactic during a Duel. In his heart, he was not taking Jounouchi's displayed strength in this Duel lightly.
"Red-Eyes Abyssal Dragon cannot be Normal Summoned. It must first be Special Summoned by Tributing 1 'Red-Eyes' monster from your hand or field."
Jounouchi explained.
"So I Tribute 'Red-Eyes Iron Knight'...
...Red-Eyes Abyssal Dragon, Summon!!"
The soaring flames devoured the knight of steel, and from the endless blaze emerged a dragon's roar that seemed to pierce the heavens. The hall was shrouded in thick smoke, and the flickering firelight seemed to dance in the sky. The lava river churned as if stirred by an invisible giant hand, and from the roar, a pitch-black dragon emerged, each scale seemingly tempered by lava, its crimson eyes filled with ill omen and wildness.
[Red-Eyes Abyssal Dragon, ATK 2400]
"Another Red-Eyes subspecies?" Bercas asked, "But with an ATK of only 2400, it's not enough to defeat the Sacrifice Demon, which has gained the power of the Malevolent Devil Dragon."
"Hmph, you're so arrogant even after stealing someone else's monster."
Jounouchi scoffed.
"Then watch closely, the ultimate evolution of my Red-Eyes! Battle! 'Red-Eyes Abyssal Dragon' attacks 'Sacrifice Demon'!"
Bercas' heart skipped a beat.
Using a monster with low ATK to attack
There's a catch!
At that moment, the dragon's breath erupted from the Abyssal Dragon's mouth, transforming into a ball of raging fire that charged towards Bercas.
The Sacrifice Demon opened its green eyes, and from the swirling mist, the NTR'd Malevolent Devil Dragon emerged to counter the attack.
The Abyssal Dragon was no match for it and was knocked back with a single strike.
[Jounouchi: LP 2800 → LP 2000]
Jounouchi raised his arm to block, but he laughed.
"Just as planned."
Bercas: "What?"
"The effect of Red-Eyes Abyssal Dragon. When this card is destroyed in battle or by an opponent's card effect, you can Special Summon a Level 7 or lower Level 'Red-Eyes' monster from your Graveyard.
The monster I will Special Summon is the one I sent back to the Graveyard at the beginning of this turn with 'Angel's Grace'."
He removed a card from his Graveyard and showed it to Bercas.
"Red-Eyes Black Dragon!" Jounouchi declared, "And when the Special Summon target of Red-Eyes Abyssal Dragon's effect is 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon', its original ATK becomes double!"
Bercas: "!"
