Chapter 1397: Beast-Warrior Machine

"Duel!" x2

【Yugi, LP 4000】

【Barrett, LP 4000】

"Come on, Mr. Yugi!" Judai shouted from behind.

Fujiki You Xuan also had an impression of this guy named Barrett; he was a character who appeared in "Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V", a high-level executive of the Academy, and his strength was not bad.

It just so happened that Muto Yugi's deck had just completed its new-generation upgrade. Although he had already had exchanges and discussions with his teammates before, today was the first time he was going into actual combat.

Today, let this Academy executive be a sparring partner for Yugi.

"I'll go first!" Dark Yugi took the first move.

Of course, he didn't forget Fujiki You Xuan's reminder that he couldn't draw cards in the first turn in this dimension. Although he had already remembered the rules, he still felt like something was missing from such a dry start...

"Then I summon this card,"

Dark Yugi looked up and played one of the newly printed cards directly.

"Summon 'Magician's Robe'!"

A Spellcaster-type monster. But whether from the image or the race, it could be clearly seen that this card belonged to the Dark Magician series of derivative cards.

The summoned magician looked basically like the robe of the Dark Magician, but it wasn't physically worn, just standing on the field out of thin air like a robe that had become a spirit. The face under the magician's hat was blank, and the flickering image looked like a spirit constructed of magic power.

【Magician's Robe, ATK 700】

Dark Yugi: "Then add a set card, turn end."

"A Spellcaster deck, huh." Barrett said, "Then it's my turn, draw!"

The big man drew a card, quickly scanned the six cards in his starting hand, and a tactic seemed to form in his mind immediately.

"Activate the Continuous Spell 'Beast-Warrior Machine Fusion Device'!" (Anime card)

Beast-Warrior Machine was the exclusive series used by Barrett in the anime, and the whole family naturally had no physical cards. The Spell card appeared in the back row, followed by a heavy mechanical device appearing on the field, the steel top spraying steam in all directions.

"The effect of Beast-Warrior Machine Fusion Device is that once per turn, I can send the materials needed for a 'Beast-Warrior Machine' Fusion Monster from my hand or field to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon for a Beast-Warrior Machine Fusion Monster!" Barrett said.

Dark Yugi understood: "An exclusive Fusion that can be used once every turn?"

"Exactly."

Barrett took out two cards from his hand and revealed them.

"I send 'Dark Panther Warrior' and 'Dark Sentinel' from my hand to the Graveyard as Fusion Materials to perform a Fusion Summon!"

Barrett threw two monster cards into mid-air. The two cards actually transformed into a Panther Warrior with black fur and a Dark Sentinel that looked like a drone in the air. The two monsters were sucked into the fusion vortex and both were sucked into the mechanical device in Barrett's back row.

"The fusion condition is a Level 4 or lower Beast-Warrior-type plus a Level 4 or lower Machine-type, Fusion Summon!" Barrett said, "Appear! Beast-Warrior Machine - Predator Panther!"

The heavy device made a boiler-like humming sound, and steam sprayed from the top. Following that, golden light exploded, and the modified warrior—half black panther, half machine—the Panther Predator who had attacked wildly in the town before the duel started—appeared again.

【Beast-Warrior Machine - Predator Panther, ATK 1600】

"The effect of Beast-Warrior Machine - Predator Panther activates! Once per turn, inflict damage to the opponent equal to half of this card's ATK!" Barrett said, "Predator Panther's ATK is 1600, so take 800 points of damage, which is half of its ATK!"

Predator Panther roared and opened its arms. The red core on its mechanical chest flashed, and dark red laser shot out, hitting Yugi head-on. 【Dark Yugi, LP 4000 → LP 3200】

"Then direct battle!" Barrett said, "Use 'Beast-Warrior Machine - Predator Panther' to attack 'Magician's Robe'!"

Predator Panther flew forward immediately, its cloak fluttering in the wind, waving its sword to slash.

"Then when you declare an attack, the monster effect of Magician's Robe also activates," Dark Yugi said. "During the opponent's turn, send one Spell or Trap card from my hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon 'Dark Magician' from my Deck!"

He said, having already sent a card from his hand to the Graveyard.

It seemed to have absorbed power from the discarded Spell/Trap, and the transparent magic power was sucked into the robe. Magic power surged on the ethereal robe, as if magic power was rolling through every line of its body.

The vortex of the magic circle opened, and the slender magician wearing the same robe flew out, the emerald staff rotating flexibly in his hand twice, and then was firmly grasped in his palm.

【Dark Magician, ATK 2500】

"Summoned the trump card with a monster effect?" Barrett said, "Because the number of monsters on the field changed, a replay occurred. However..."

He glanced at the two monsters on Yugi's field and quickly made a decision.

"I won't replay, the attack continues. Use Predator Panther to attack 'Magician's Robe'!"

Although Dark Magician appeared, the robe with only 800 ATK was still in Attack Position. Destroying it would still cause great damage to the opponent.

But Dark Yugi just pulled the corner of his mouth, as if this attack was completely within his calculation.

"Then at this moment, I activate the set card, Trap card 'Shift'!" Dark Yugi said, "When a monster on my field is selected as an attack target, I can swap two monsters on my field, changing the attack target to another monster on my field!"

Barrett's face changed slightly: "Nani?"

Dark Yugi pointed at Dark Magician: "Change Predator Panther's attack target to Dark Magician!"

Predator Panther slashed halfway, and his eyes seemed to be in a trance for a while, unable to distinguish the direction, and slashed at Dark Magician.

The master naturally wouldn't give him a good look, and immediately stretched out his right palm. Surging dark magic power surged out, and the opponent's slash was shattered into slag under the dark magic vortex halfway, and the half-beast, half-mechanical body also exploded.

【Barrett, LP 4000 → LP 3100】

Barrett staggered back half a step against the dark magic torrent, his face not looking very good.

"So that's it, you set an ambush for me here." Barrett said coldly, "Then this turn can be considered your slight victory.

But at this moment, the monster effect of Predator Panther also activates. Predator Panther's other monster effect: when this card is destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon a set of Fusion Materials used to fuse this card from my Graveyard."

Barrett revealed the two cards that exited the Graveyard.

"I Special Summon 'Dark Panther Warrior' and 'Dark Sentinel' from my Graveyard!"
