Chapter 1323: Death Scythe

Rafael's guardian spirit was smashed to pieces, leaving only feathers with holy light floating down. The blond burly man maintained the posture of reaching out, looking at the feathers floating in the sky, his eyes blurred for a while.

Then the outstretched hand was maintained for a few seconds before finally slowly drooping, as if the heart that had been hanging all along had finally died.

Rafael lowered his head and was gloomy for a few seconds.

"I... underestimated you." He said gloomily.

The next moment, the earth cracked.

As if from the deepest part of the underworld, pitch-black pure death energy gushed out from the crack. A magic claw emitting dark aura probed out from the crack, slammed onto the ground, and scratched cracks on the ground with five fingers.

The one that appeared from it was a demon.

Falling from light to darkness, falling from an angel to a demon. The saint Guardian Eatos transformed into this fallen form, wearing a terrifying white mask, messy blond hair, five fingers like sharp blades, and a burly body rising from the darkness, emitting a black evil aura like a god of death.

【Guardian Dreadscythe, ATK 2500】

"When Guardian Eatos is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, this card can be Special Summoned from my hand or deck." (Original effect)

Rafael said with a gloomy face, coldly.

"Guardian Dreadscythe, the new power Eatos gained. And when this card exists on my field in Attack Position, all other monsters existing on my field must be destroyed."

Boom! Boom!

Dreadscythe let out a cold cry, and the remaining Guardian Kay'est and Guardian Grarl on Rafael's field were also shattered by the invasion of the death god's aura.

Rafael, who had been incomparably obsessed with "not sending monsters to the graveyard", destroyed all his monsters with his own hands after this death-god-like guardian descended.

It simply seemed like a hint of the concept of "falling from light to darkness".

"Looks like it's finally released, the darkness in your heart." You Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Dreadscythe, "Eh, it's really rich, so rich that it has appeared as a concrete card, and can be observed directly with the naked eye."

Rafael raised his head gloomily: "I underestimated you, Fujiki You Xuan. I don't know where you came from, but you are indeed a terrifying opponent... but there won't be any more. I won't underestimate you again, and next I will use everything Lord Dartz gave me to beat you to a pulp."

As he said this, he raised his hand again, and another dark current flew out from his deck, gathered on the field, and transformed into a pitch-black sickle, and extended a long handle.

Rafael: "When Guardian Dreadscythe is successfully Special Summoned, equip the Equip Spell 'Reaper Scythe - Dreadscythe' from the deck to this card."

Dreadscythe reached out and grabbed the handle, the sickle was held upside down in his hand, looking more like a gloomy god of death.

"In the state of being equipped with the Reaper Scythe, the ATK of the equipped monster increases by 500 points for each monster in my graveyard." Rafael said, "There are three guardians in my graveyard now, so the ATK increases by 1500."

【Guardian Dreadscythe, ATK 4000】

"From refusing to send monsters to the graveyard to actively sending them to the graveyard, and then extracting the power of the deceased, this blackening is really thorough." You Xuan said lightly.

However, the animation of this sickle is not as powerful as the real card. The real card sickle can increase the ATK of the equipped monster by 500 for each monster in both graveyards, while the animation is limited to his own graveyard.

Rafael said coldly: "That kind of thing doesn't matter at all. I said, I have already faced and accepted the darkness in my heart. If this monster is the monster concretized by the darkness in my heart, then it is my destiny, and I fully accept this power." He inserted the remaining card in his hand into the Duel Disk back row.

"While Dreadscythe exists on the field, I cannot summon any monsters in any form, but I can still activate Spells. I want to activate the Continuous Spell 'Card of Safe Return' from my hand!"

(Animation effect)

A fake card-like DM original card, if it were placed in modern Yu-Gi-Oh, everyone would draw their whole deck to play cards in one turn, basically equivalent to everyone holding their whole deck to play cards.

"Then battle." Rafael said, "Guardian Dreadscythe, attack 'Infernity Death Dragon'!"

【Guardian Dreadscythe, ATK 4000】

【Infernity Death Dragon, ATK 3000】

By Tributing one monster on your field, you can add that monster's DEF to the ATK of another monster on your field!" (Anime card)

At the same time, another card in Rafael's hand was swallowed into the dark vortex, and disappeared as if annihilated in that chaos.

"Soul Barrier's effect, I have no battle damage." Rafael said, "Then discard a card from my hand, Dreadscythe revives from the graveyard."

The immortal god of death returned again, holding his huge sickle, and the death aura was even richer than just now.

"Because I discarded a monster card, Guardian Dreadscythe's ATK increases by 500." Rafael said, "Then the effect of 'Card of Safe Return' activates. I draw three cards from the deck!"

Rafael drew three more cards.

Of course, no matter how many cards he draws, what he can use is limited. Because during the period when Dreadscythe is on the field, he cannot summon any new monsters to the field at all.

【Guardian Dreadscythe, ATK 4000 → ATK 4500】

"I said, the darkness of the human heart is endless." Rafael said coldly, "People can never surpass the darkness in their own hearts, this is the truth of this world, it is Lord Dartz who let me understand this point. And Lord Dartz's guidance will let the world learn to accept that darkness, and then surpass the darkness, just like I obtained this power of Dreadscythe!"

As he said this, he drew another card he just drew into his hand by the power of "Card of Safe Return", and held it high. "I won't underestimate you again, and I won't hold back. I will release all the darkness in my heart, all my power here! Activate Field Spell—"

"—The Seal of Orichalcos!!!"

Another green light pillar rushed into the sky, and it seemed to merge with the light pillar that rushed into the sky behind the two. Behind the clouds in the sky, a hexagram magic circle seemed to descend, weaving a solemn barrier, covering the two sides of the battle in this layer of glass-like transparent green light.

Rafael let out a long roar, as if his body had completely absorbed the energy of the barrier. Red light lit up in his eyes, a hexagram mark appeared on his forehead, and the same mark appeared on the forehead of Guardian Dreadscythe as if connecting the master and the monster.

"The 'Guardian Dreadscythe' that has obtained the amplification of the Orichalcos barrier, its ATK increases by another 500 points!" Rafael said.

【Guardian Dreadscythe, ATK 4500 → ATK 5500】

"Guardian Dreadscythe, attack 'Infernity Death Dragon' again!"

"Oh?" You Xuan raised an eyebrow.

【You Xuan, LP 4000 → LP 3200】
