Chapter 918: The Complete Form
Chapter 918: The Complete Form
"My turn, draw!"
You Xuan inserted a card into the Set Position slot.
"Spell Card, 'Higher Rank Draw'. Sacrifice a Level 8 or higher monster on my field to draw two cards from my Deck."
You Xuan pointed to the Steel Giant, a gift from Yuebel.
"I sacrifice 'Torture Giant' and draw two cards from my Deck."
The Torture Giant was enveloped in a golden light, slowly disintegrating bit by bit until it completely dissolved into countless points of light, gathering above You Xuan's Deck.
You Xuan drew two cards.
"Hmph, it's rare for me to give you a monster," Yuebel grunted, "and you don't even appreciate it."
You Xuan smiled, unbothered.
"I activate the Spell Card, 'Gladiator Training Ground'. Add one 'Gladiator Beast' with 4 or less stars from my Deck to my hand."
You Xuan drew the card that automatically popped out of his Deck.
"At the end of the last turn, 'Gladiator Beast - Fish Fighter' automatically returned to my Deck, and now I add it to my hand again."
Yuebel frowned, "That thing again."
The monster summoned by the Gladiator Beast's effect, although a weaker monster, was still an annoying one with card-destroying abilities.
Well, it wasn't something to be afraid of.
Yuebel glanced at his own majestic and powerful dragon body and coldly snorted.
Still want to keep blowing things up?
Fine, bring it on.
But after destroying the shell of the Abhorrent Knight, his opponent would realize that they had personally unleashed the strongest and most terrifying demon.
Relying on card destruction to get rid of me, Yuebel? Preposterous.
I, Yuebel, having returned from the heavens, fear nothing more than being blown up.
"The effect of 'Slave Tiger' in my hand activates," You Xuan said, "When there is a monster with 'Gladiator Beast' in its name on my field, this card can be Special Summoned.
Since I have 'Gladiator Beast: Augusti' on my field, Slave Tiger can be Special Summoned from my hand.
Come forth, Slave Tiger!"
The small-brained axe, despite not having the words 'Gladiator Beast' in its description, always seemed to be working overtime. It appeared on the field, looking rather listless, with its small claws covering its mouth as it yawned lazily.
[Slave Tiger, ATK 600]
"Then, I sacrifice Slave Tiger, return Gladiator Beast: Augusti to my Deck, and Special Summon a Gladiator Beast from my Deck," You Xuan declared.
You Xuan sacrificed 'Slave Tiger' and returned 'Gladiator Beast: Augusti' to his Deck.
The small-brained axe lazily waved its claws and yawned again, then dissolved into golden light.
It seemed to have a rather unenthusiastic work ethic.
Augusti was then enveloped in a glow and flew back to You Xuan's Deck.
"Return Augusti to the Deck, and then Special Summon..."
You Xuan put the card back into his Deck, which automatically shuffled in the Duel Disk. Another card popped out, which You Xuan took and smiled lightly.
"Special Summon 'Gladiator Beast: Augusti'!"
Yuebel: "?"
Return to the Deck and then summon again?
Amidst the dark storm, a sturdy and dark armor emerged. The king of birds and beasts stood tall, gazing down upon all with authority, brandishing a great sword and exuding an aura of majesty.
[Gladiator Beast: Augusti, ATK 2600]
"When Gladiator Beast: Augusti is Special Summoned using the effect of a Gladiator Beast, you can Special Summon a Gladiator Beast monster from your hand," You Xuan explained, "Although Slave Tiger is not a Gladiator Beast, when it's Special Summoned using Slave Tiger's effect, it can be treated as a Gladiator Beast Special Summoned by a Gladiator Beast's effect!"
This is the advantage of temporary workers; you can't call them part of the main team, but their work can still be counted as the main team's achievements.
"Thus, the effect of Ogustu, Special Summon a 'Gladiator Beast' monster from your hand."
"The Gladiator Beast in your hand," Ubell said, "is the one you just searched for?"
"Yes," Xuan nodded, holding the Gladiator Beast between his index and middle fingers.
"Special Summon 'Gladiator Beast: Yutou'!"
A vortex of water erupted, and the image of the fish-type Gladiator Warrior materialized on the field once more, its back adorned with a low-rumbling water turbine.
(A one-shot, one-chapter, one-volume, one-ring, one-hundred-and-sixty-nine-chapter novel, coming soon!)
【Gladiator Beast: Yutou, ATK 800】
"And once again, the effect of Gladiator Beast: Yutou," Xuan announced, "When Yutou is Special Summoned by the effect of a Gladiator Beast, destroy one monster on the field."
"Destroy 'Ubell, the Knight of Abhorrence'!"
Yutou's turbines spun at full speed, and high-pressure water jets sprayed forth, covering Ubell's face once more.
A repeat performance.
Even the Demon Dragon couldn't withstand the impact of these high-pressure water jets, and its chest, where the single eye was located, exploded, emitting a dull, muffled blast.
Of course, the Knight of Abhorrence still possessed Ubell's original abilities, making it indestructible in battle, immune to battle damage, and capable of reflecting damage.
However, the prerequisite was that her opponent had to engage in a direct confrontation.
But Xuan seemed to have no intention of battling. The two consecutive blasts from Yutou had already cost Ubell two of her lives.
"I must thank you."
Ubell's voice, even more distorted and deep, echoed through the smoke.
Then, in the spot where the Demon Dragon had been destroyed, a massive monster appeared—a creature even larger than the dragon!
Two sinuous, twisted necks supported a colossal dragon head, adorned with enormous, unmatched scales. The eyes, like candles in the underworld, seemed to peer into the deepest darkness of one's heart.
This grotesque form seemed out of place in this world, a fusion of demon and dragon. Its sturdy body was covered in hard bone plates, and its legs were adorned with enormous, single eyes. The three eyes on its chest formed a triangular structure, and within them was an indescribable sadness and resentment.
When this form appeared in the anime, even Ubell, the Duelist herself, seemed to merge with the back of this colossal dragon, reminiscent of Malik riding on the head of Winged Dragon of Ra in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series.
However, in this instance, Ubell remained standing on the ground, wearing her Duel Disk, possibly due to her incomplete state.
"Thanks to you unlocking the second seal, my ultimate, perfect final form has arrived."
Ubell's voice resonated with a deep, masculine tone.
Simultaneously inflicting damage and destruction, this was the ultimate monster born from the darkness of Ubell's heart, a sadness that had reached its extreme!
"If I truly become unnecessary, if even the place I belong no longer exists, then there's no point in this world continuing to exist!"
Ubell's voice grew hoarse.
"Let everything be destroyed!"
