Chapter 458: Red-Eyes

"My turn, draw."

Fujiki You Xuan swept a glance at the card he drew, and suddenly looked at Dark Atticus with a smile.

"You seem to call yourself... Darkness, right?"

Dark Atticus crossed his arms and looked at him coldly but ignored him.

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon is indeed a powerful monster, and it is also a super rare card." Fujiki You Xuan said. "It became famous all over the world in the hands of the legendary duelist Joey Wheeler back in Battle City."

"Heh, are you afraid of the power of my Red-Eyes?" Dark Atticus sneered. "Then it's not too late to beg for mercy now."

"No. I mean, can you really be worthy of the power of Red-Eyes?"

Fujiki You Xuan smiled and pointed to Red-Eyes.

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon is indeed a treasure of the dueling world, but it is not something that everyone can control. For a chosen duelist, it can naturally develop the possibilities of the black dragon and open up the road to victory.

But for a third-rate mediocrity, it is just an ordinary bone that only has 2400 attack power as Seven Stars, so what is there to be afraid of?"

However, Fujiki You Xuan always felt that Atticus and Alexis, this pair of siblings, were interesting. First of all, the character's appearance looks like Joey's child at first glance, and the trump card is even Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

If it weren't for the fact that it was less than ten years between DM and GX, and the time didn't match, it would almost make people suspect whether these two were the children lost by Joey and Mai.

Dark Atticus heard his sarcasm but didn't get angry: "Interesting, want to say I can't control the power of Red-Eyes... You are the first one to say that to me."

"Wearing a half-mask and playing Cos doesn't mean you have become the master of the Black Dragon."

Fujiki You Xuan said indifferently, raised his hand.

"Activate the effect of 'Guardian Sphinx' flipped over by Red-Eyes' attack. This card can become face-down Defense Position once per turn.

Therefore, set 'Guardian Sphinx' again."

The huge human face statue was covered face-down again, turning into a card.

Fujiki You Xuan waved his hand again.

"Then Flip Summon 'Guardian Sphinx'."

The human face statue that had just been covered by its own effect flipped, and soon appeared majestically on the field again. An invisible wave was released on the field, sweeping toward the black dragon on Dark Atticus's field.

"The effect of Guardian Sphinx, when this card is Flip Summoned successfully, all monsters on the opponent's field return to the owner's hand.

Return 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' to the hand!"

Dark Atticus's expression tightened.

"Full field return effect... but it's not that easy!" He shouted. "Activate Counter Trap 'Kings' Consonance'!

If there is a Level 7 or higher Normal Monster on your field, negate the activation of a Spell, Trap, or the Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon of a monster, and destroy it!"

He pointed to Fujiki You Xuan's field.

"Negate and destroy the Flip Summon of Guardian Sphinx!"

The Black Dragon King roared, releasing the aura of the dragon race's overlord. That domineering wave immediately blasted the human face statue on Fujiki You Xuan's field into powder.

The black dragon stood proudly on the field, head held high, looking very proud.

"Heh, Sphinx's return tactic, indeed insidious, but it has been seen through by the King!" Dark Atticus shouted proudly. "In this way, can you still arrogantly say that I don't have the power to control the Black Dragon?"

"... Activate Spell Card 'Adversity's Treasure'. If the opponent has a Special Summoned monster and you have no monsters on your field, draw two cards from the deck." (Original card)

Fujiki You Xuan drew two cards, and then quickly played another one.

"Set a monster in face-down Defense Position."

Dark Atticus saw this operation and sneered lightly: "Defense again, have you only had the room for defense under the pressure of the true King?"

Fujiki You Xuan ignored it, and then a card in the graveyard withdrew.

"The effect of 'AD Changer' in the graveyard. Banish this card from the graveyard to change the battle position of a monster on the field."

Fujiki You Xuan pointed to his field.

"Flip the set monster on the field."

The set monster flipped, and a bald guard appeared, wearing a black robe, with a round belly exposed, and a fierce face with flesh.

【Gravekeeper's Guard, ATK 1000】

"The effect of Gravekeeper's Guard, when flipped, return an opponent's monster to the owner's hand.

Return 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' to the hand."

Couldn't avoid the first day, couldn't avoid the fifteenth day, Red-Eyes, although domineeringly countered the human face statue's poison hand, still couldn't escape the fate of being returned. The black dragon neighed helplessly, and finally turned into a golden light and flew back to its master's hand.

Dark Atticus's smile disappeared instantly.

"Then 'Gravekeeper's Guard', direct attack.

Thousand-Blade Slash!"

Fujiki You Xuan's order fell, and the guard had already stepped forward, the heavy long halberd in his hand slashing down. The white blade turned into silver light and slashed down from his head, Atticus groaned, retreated half a step while covering his heart.

【Dark Atticus, LP 4000 -> LP 3000】

He gritted his teeth and looked at the burly guard: "Gravekeeper clan..."

Dark Atticus frowned under the black dragon mask, but didn't know if he remembered anything.

Atticus Rhodes had also been to that Gravekeeper's ruin before Fujiki You Xuan and others, and had also dueled and won against the Gravekeeper Chief. That was likely the first dark duel Atticus experienced in his life.

Fujiki You Xuan got half of the ring from the Gravekeeper Chief, and the other half was in Atticus's hands. Only when the two pieces were put together could they exert their complete power.

"Set three cards, turn end."

Fujiki You Xuan set the cards again, and the backfield area had been set like a copper wall and iron wall, looking from afar as if it was emitting ominous dark energy.

He chuckled and said again: "It seems that your control of the Black Dragon doesn't seem to have changed anything."

Dark Atticus gritted his teeth, hummed heavily, and then straightened his waist again.

"My turn, draw!" Dark Atticus said. "Activate Spell Card 'Cards of the Red Stone'.

Send a Level 7 'Red-Eyes' monster from your hand to the graveyard, draw two cards from the deck. Then you can send a Level 7 Red-Eyes monster from the deck to the graveyard."

Dark Atticus showed the Red-Eyes that had just been returned to his hand.

"Discard the 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' that was just returned to the hand, draw two cards. Then send the other 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' from the deck to the graveyard!"

It seems that Atticus not only holds the famous Red-Eyes, but even has a second machine in his hand. However, Fujiki You Xuan was not surprised. Just like Kaiser's Cyber End Dragon, Red-Eyes was also the second one that Atticus clearly used in the anime.

After drawing the card, his movements paused slightly, frowning and thinking for a moment, seemingly hesitant.

However, only a moment later, he seemed to have made up his mind and finalized the subsequent tactics.

Then he pulled three cards from the remaining hand cards.

"Set three cards on the field."

He set three cards, then slowly pulled out another card from his hand.

"Then Normal Summon this guy from your hand, summon 'Armageddon Knight'!"
