Chapter 961: Fallen Angel
Chapter 961: Fallen Angel
Fallen Angel.
This deck made its debut in the manga version of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, used by Hinoki, a teacher at Duel Academy.
Although You Xuan had limited interactions with Teacher Hinoki, he knew that she was a reclusive master in her own right. She didn't seek fame or fortune in Dueling, and instead of proving herself in tournaments, she preferred a quiet life as a teacher at Duel Academy, content with her role.
However, her younger brother, Hinata, was ambitious and had embarked on a professional career early on. He made a name for himself in Dueling arenas worldwide and even claimed the title of World Champion, earning the moniker "Heroic Deck Master."
But the manga later revealed that although Hinata had won the World Championship, his older sister, Hinoki, was actually the more powerful Duelist between the siblings. In their private duels, Hinata had lost more often than he had won, proving that he wasn't superior to his sister.
Hinoki's strength as a Duelist was undoubtedly exceptional, but the power of her deck was also a significant factor. Even after becoming a real-life card, the Fallen Angel deck still held immense potential and couldn't be underestimated.
Now, as this deck appeared in the hands of the Abyss God, You Xuan speculated that the deck's completion might even surpass Hinoki's. Even without considering the Abyss God's unique cards, the Fallen Angel deck alone warranted a cautious approach.
The Abyss God had already drawn two cards. Although the number of cards in his hand remained unchanged at six, two Fallen Angel resources had been sent to the graveyard.
Without hesitation, the Abyss God utilized the resources in the graveyard for his next move.
"I activate the Magic Card, 'Fallen Angel's Sanctuary'!"
The Abyss God waved his hand, and a golden wave emerged, revealing a Magic Card in front of him.
"Fallen Angel's Sanctuary can only be activated once per turn.
However, this card allows me to Special Summon any Fallen Angel monster from my graveyard in Defense Position!"
Obviously, he already had two Fallen Angels in his graveyard, and he selected one to place on the Duel Disk.
"Special Summon, 'Fallen Angel Sobek'!"
Despite its angelic name, a dark, inky storm erupted upon its Summoning. Red feathers filled the air, and beneath the wings, a dark cylindrical body appeared. It was the embodiment of the Sin of Pride, the heaviest of all sins.
[Fallen Angel Sobek, DEF 2400]
"The effect of Fallen Angel Sobek!" the Abyss God proclaimed, "When this card is Special Summoned from the graveyard, I can Special Summon any other Angel-Type monster from my graveyard, except for 'Fallen Angel Sobek.'
So, I Special Summon another Angel from my graveyard..."
There was only one Angel left in his graveyard, which he had just drawn into his hand.
"Fallen Angel Ishtarr, descend!"
Dark, polluted feathers fell like raindrops, and a female angel with a captivating figure and graceful curves descended slowly. Her hair was purple, and her eyes were red, as if a dim filter had been cast over her face.
[Fallen Angel Ishtarr, ATK 2500]
Malik commented, "Right from the start, you have two powerful high-level monsters."
You Xuan wasn't surprised. He knew that the Fallen Angel deck was designed this way, with most of its cards being high-level monsters, leaving little room for lower-level creatures.
The Fallen Angel deck's strength lay in its ability to instantly Special Summon numerous high-level monsters to exert pressure, along with its powerful resource management and capacity to disrupt opponents' actions outside their turns, making it truly formidable.
"They say that although you are human, you are quite unique."
The Abyss God spoke in a stiff tone.
"I want to see just how unique you are."
As he spoke, he signaled for an attack.
"Fallen Angel Ishtarr, attack the face-down Defense Position monster!"
The female Fallen Angel lightly flapped her wings, and her body rose into the air amidst a transparent cyclone.
As the wings flapped, countless black feathers shot out like hidden weapons, piercing through the face-down monsters in Yu Xuan's back row with a loud clatter.
The blonde magician, dressed in blue, knelt on a horizontally placed card, holding a staff across her chest, emitting a barrier. The Fallen Angel's bombardment pierced through the formation, blasting both the magician and the formation.
【Trainee Magician, DEF 800】
"The effect of the Trainee Magician monster," Yu Xuan explained, "When this card is destroyed in battle, Special Summon a Level 2 or lower Spellcaster-Type monster from your Deck in face-down Defense Position."
Another magician, also a cold and beautiful woman, flew out from Yu Xuan's Deck, holding a staff horizontally in front of her. After a brief image, she quickly became a face-down card.
【Sacred Magician, DEF 400】
Yeshen said, "The resurrected Sobek is in Defense Position and cannot attack this turn. So, my Battle Phase ends."
His expression remained stern as he played another card from his hand.
"I Set a card, and my turn ends."
Yu Xuan: "My turn, I draw a card."
After drawing a card, he immediately flipped the face-down monster on the field.
"I Flip Summon 'Sacred Magician'!"
【Sacred Magician, ATK 300】
The purple-haired magician stood tall on the field, eyes closed, chanting a spell. Black incantations floated from her staff, outlining the silhouette of a green card in mid-air.
"When Sacred Magician is flipped face-up, add a Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand."
Yu Xuan revealed the Spell Card recovered from the Graveyard.
"I add the Spell Card 'Jar of Greed' from my Graveyard to my hand."
Yu Xuan played the recovered Spell Card immediately.
"Spell Card 'Jar of Greed', draw 2 more cards from your Deck."
This was the strength of the Sacred Magician, and also the reason why this seemingly weak 1-star magician was so powerful in the early game. In the early environment, both field clearing and card advantage heavily relied on powerful Spells, with the ability to reverse the situation with a single card, were numerous. This card's power to recover Spells made it exceptionally strong.
"Then, I Tribute the Spellcaster-Type 'Sacred Magician'!
With hopes entrusted to the wings of silence, the Light Magician appears—
—Champion Silent Magician, Summon!"
The magician was surrounded by pure white light, and a transparent formation rose from her feet to above her head. Her silver hair danced in the white light, and her white robe shimmered like snow, accentuating her translucent skin. The staff glowed with fluorescent dots.
【Champion Silent Magician, ATK 1000】
"The ATK of Champion Silent Magician increases based on the number of cards in my hand," Yu Xuan explained, "I currently have seven cards in my hand, and each card increases the ATK of Silent Magician by 500 points.
Therefore, Silent Magician's ATK increases by 3500!"
【Champion Silent Magician, ATK 1000 → ATK 4500】
Malik exclaimed, "It seems Mr. Yu Xuan is also quite formidable, sister."
Isis nodded, "Although he Summoned an Advanced Level monster on the first turn, this level of suppression is not enough to defeat a Duel King."
"Next, I remove from play the Light Attribute 'Sacred Magician' and the Dark Attribute 'Trainee Magician' from the game!"
Yu Xuan raised his arm and chanted, causing Malik and his sister to show surprise on their faces.
"I Tribute the souls of Light and Darkness to the field of Chaos, summoning the legendary warrior to descend! Opening the Heavens and the Earth—
—Chaos Warrior: The Opener's Messenger, Summon!"
