Chapter 110

"Spell Card 'Nephthys's Hope,' choose 'Phoenix God of Nephthys' on my field and 'Silent Magician' on your field to destroy!"

"This move again." Yugi frowned, "My Mudballman was..."

"Silent Magician, effect activate." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Once per turn, when a Spell card is activated, negate that activation!"

Silent Magician's staff swirled, milky-white magic fluctuations bloomed, and it seemed like transparent chains bound the magic power in the opponent's back row, and the Spell card exploded into fragments with a pop.

"Ha, as expected of Fujiki You Xuan." Yugi made a V gesture towards him, "There are countermeasures for both front-row and back-row attacks..."

Xie Er narrowed his eyes and sized up Silent Magician and Fujiki You Xuan.

"There is such a tricky ability. Is that your spirit?"

"That's right, spirits are our partners fighting together." Yugi said, "You guy who uses power to enslave your own monsters won't understand."

"Heh, and why do you think I wouldn't understand." Xie Er said coldly, "And why do you think I haven't believed before?"

Yugi was stunned: "What?"

"Not just me. There's also my family, for generations, we have all believed. We call ourselves the messengers of the 'Phoenix,' we pass down the Phoenix card from generation to generation, and believe that the Phoenix God will protect us."

Fujiki You Xuan originally thought that it hasn't been long since Pegasus discovered Duel Monsters, how can you still have ancestral cards?

However, he immediately remembered that the Nordic Three Polar Gods in 5DS also seemed to be ancestral cards. In this way, it is estimated that before Pegasus invented the card-making technology, what they preserved were stone tablets, which is not impossible.

"However, in fact, it is not so." Xie Er continued, "One day disaster suddenly descended, and the enemy invaded our village. I watched with my own eyes as my clansmen were slaughtered, and my friends died tragically in front of me.

But in the end, the Phoenix God did not appear. The so-called companions, the so-called guardians, are nothing more than self-deceiving rhetoric. Only the power held in one's own hands is absolute."

Yugi pondered for a moment.

"Did you have such an experience..."

"It's all in the past. That kind of thing, it doesn't matter." Xie Er said lightly, "The Phoenix God abandoned us and left. In order to gain power, to gain the power to protect everyone, I found a new way out."

"Orichalcos?" Fujiki You Xuan asked.

"Not bad. And they gave me a chance, a new power gained by signing a contract with the devil." Xie Er raised his volume and shouted, "As long as I can gain power, so what if I sell my soul to the devil?

I activate the Spell Card 'Card of Sanctity' from my hand!

Both players draw cards from the deck until they have six cards in their hand!" (Anime effect)

Fujiki You Xuan: "!"

Woc, how did you secretly play such an incredible thing while setting the atmosphere?

He wanted to say, buddy, is this what you got in exchange for selling your soul?

Then tell me where you bought it, I want it too...

Fujiki You Xuan looked at Yugi solemnly: "Yugi! This duel, no matter what, must be won!"

"Ah? Oh, of course." Yugi nodded.

At the same time, he felt a bit strange that Fujiki You Xuan's morale seemed to be instantly higher than just now, I don't know why...

Sure enough, he should be the same as himself, not agreeing with the opponent's approach, right?

Fujiki You Xuan is indeed an upright duelist...

After replenishing his hand, he immediately drew another card from his hand. But this time the movement was much slower, as if performing some solemn ritual.

"This is the absolute power I gained from the devil!" Xie Er shouted, "Activate the Spell Card 'Advanced Ritual Art' from my hand!

By Tributing Normal Monsters from the deck as ritual sacrifices, perform a Ritual Summon for a Ritual Monster with a total level equal to the sacrifice monsters!"

He pulled out two cards searched from the deck.

"I Tribute two Level 4 'Flying Mantis' from the deck, Ritual Summon!

Wrap the world in the flames of the end, and grind everything into dust—"

"—Demise, King of Armageddon, descend!!!"

The ritual magic circle burned with the blue flames of destruction, and the moment the dark currents erupted, it was like the arrival of the end of the world. What appeared from it was a pitch-black giant, covered in armor of destruction, holding a heavy axe, and the moment it descended, it was like accompanying endless pressure.

The legendary Ruin Demon King who only appears when a world comes to an end, Demise, King of Armageddon.

【Demise, King of Armageddon, ATK 2400 → ATK 2900】

"Haaa!!!"

The ritual was activated, and Xie Er couldn't help but let out a roar. The veins on his forehead bulged, ghostly blue flames shrouded his whole body, and echoed with the green light of Orichalcos on his body.

Yugi looked up at the giant of destruction for a moment, and pressed his heart involuntarily: "Wh... what's going on? This monster, why is there so much pressure..."

"That's not an ordinary monster." Fujiki You Xuan said, "That card possesses very powerful dark power."

"Yes, Demise is the Demon King of destruction, and it is precisely because of this power that I was able to repel strong enemies." Xie Er's eyes burned with blue flames, "And now, you will also perish under the flames of the end!

'Demise, King of Armageddon' effect activate! Pay 2000 Life Points, all cards on the field except him..."

He raised his right hand high and clenched his fist suddenly.

"... all destroyed!"

Yugi: "Such a powerful ability..."

"That's right, as long as I keep offering life force to Demise, he is invincible!"

Xie Er waved his hand.

"End of the world!"

【Xie Er, LP 5500 → LP 3500】

The Demon King of the end swung his battle axe. The extremely cold blue flames, like ghost fires from the Underworld, ruthlessly devoured everything in their path, as if to drag the entire world into the abyss of the end.

The Phoenix God was also unable to resist the tide of destruction, and after emitting a helpless wail, it was burned and retreated under the flames of destruction. The aftermath of the flames swept towards Fujiki You Xuan and Yugi's field, and Silent Magician and the face-down cards in the back row also dissipated and retreated under the indiscriminate flames of the end.

"Then 'Silent Magician' effect activate." Fujiki You Xuan said, "When she is destroyed by the opponent's effect, she can evolve into a new posture!"

Blooming silent radiance from the intersection of chaos and order, the magician of light, descends here—"

"—Silent Magician LV8!"

The magic power released after Silent retreated turned into a white magic circle, dazzling white radiance erupted, and the silver-haired magician who evolved into a higher posture stepped on the magic circle and descended again.

【Silent Magician LV8, ATK 3500】

Yugi's eyes lit up: "Fujiki You Xuan Nice! There's a follow-up after the follow-up."

Xie Er's breathing had begun to be a bit disordered, it seemed that two extraordinary powers being blessed on his body at the same time made his spirit a bit unable to bear it.

The King of Armageddon turned his head to look at him, and a dim blue light flashed briefly in his cold eyes.

A cold and hoarse voice sounded in Xie Er's ear.

"It seems you still need more power. Come, give me more life, and you can gain further power..."

"Tch, isn't it just life, just take it and shut up!"

Xie Er stood up swaying and shouted.

"Useless! Demise, King of Armageddon... effect activate again! Pay 2000 Life Points, all cards destroyed!

End of the world!!!"

Yugi: "Eh? There is no limit to the number of activations!?"

【Xie Er, LP 3500 → LP 1500】

Accepting the duelist's life as nourishment again, the King of Armageddon raised his battle axe, and the axe of world destruction fell again! The moment that blow landed, the endless blue flames swept like waves again. Silent Magician tried her best to resist, but the magic circle finally shattered under that power, and she had to retreat.

"In this way, your field is... blank."

Xie Er gasped for a moment, stabilizing his disordered breathing.

"Then next is this card in my hand..."

He revealed another card in his hand.

"'Doom Dozer,' can be Special Summoned by banishing two Insect-types from your Graveyard!

I banish two 'Flying Mantis' from the Graveyard, Special Summon 'Doom Dozer'!"

Obviously, the two cards he sent to the Graveyard from the deck as the cost for activating Advanced Ritual Art were not chosen randomly, but intentionally picked two Insect-types, just for the summoning condition of "Doom Dozer."

Summoning the King of Armageddon while precisely dumping cards from the deck, using the King of Armageddon to clear the field, and then using the dumped resources to jump out Doom Dozer, an OTK Combo that instantly settled the game!

【Doom Dozer, ATK 2800 → ATK 3300】

"This is the end, solve one of you within this turn."

Xie Er paused here, his gaze shifted between the two for a moment, as if deciding the priority target to defeat, and his gaze finally fell on Yugi.

Perhaps it was because he could feel a special quality from Yugi, or perhaps it was because the debate just now made him feel unhappy.

In short, obviously the BOSS hatred has come to Yugi-classmate now.

"Then let's start by defeating you. If the bond you call with monsters can summon miracles, then show me!"

Xie Er waved his hand.

"End!

Doom Dozer! Demise, King of Armageddon!

Direct attack!!!"
