Necro's hands trembled: My turn... Draw! He glanced at the card he had drawn, then suddenly let out a piercing laugh: Activate the Field Spell Card Necromancer's Illusion! This card can be activated from your hand, and while this card is on the field, all Phantom Knights monsters gain 500 ATK!
The entire mine suddenly transformed into a gloomy graveyard, with translucent ghosts drifting around. Then, the Spell Card Monster Reborn was activated! Special Summon Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin from the Graveyard! The knight riding a skeletal warhorse returned once more, his ATK increased to 2900.
Stack the Cursed Javelin and the Rusty Moonblade Axe! Necro's voice distorted, "Xyz Summon! Phantom Knights Undead Greatsword!"
A greatsword, wreathed in vengeful spirits, appears, with an attack power of 3500. The Undead Greatsword's effect! Removes one Xyz Material, allowing you to attack twice this turn! It points at Yugi's Shadow Overlord; battle! The Undead Greatsword attacks the Shadow Overlord!
3500 vs. 4000, Necro's HP drops to 2500, but the Undead Greatsword remains intact due to the Necromancer's Illusion effect. A second direct attack! Yuuki's HP drops to 3500.
Set one card face down, end of turn. Necro, panting heavily, thinks, "Next turn will be your death!"
Yuki looked at his remaining three cards, among which the Evil Hero Chaos Demon King - End Form was radiating scorching heat. My turn, draw. The new card he drew was Evil Shadow - End.
When he held both cards at the same time, a sudden change occurred—the two cards flew out automatically, spun and merged above the Duel Disk, forming a brand new card: Evil Heart's End Revelation.
"Ritual Spell: Evil Heart's End Revelation!" Yuuki's voice echoed through the mine. He offered his hand and the DARK monsters on the field as tributes to perform a ritual summon—
Dark energy formed a giant cocoon, from which emerged an unprecedented being—the Evil Heart End Dragon: Origin of Chaos, with an attack power of ?, its entire body covered in flowing dark gold armor.
The effect of the End Dragon! Yuki's voice seemed to come from the void. This card's attack power is equal to the difference between the two players' life points × 3! Currently, the difference is 1000, and the attack power is 3000.
It's not over yet! Activate the effect of Evil Shadow: End in the Graveyard! Banish this card to double the ATK of End Dragon! ATK soars to 6000.
Battle! The Final Dragon attacks the Undead Greatsword! An absolute crushing force of 6000 against 3500, Necro's health points drop to zero. All the crystal bottles shatter simultaneously, the orbs of light inside scattering and returning to their original owners.
Necro's skull mask shattered in two, revealing an aged and withered face: Impossible... My necromantic power actually... His body began to turn to ash, but you couldn't stop it... Lord Dark Night has awakened... The seven seals have...
Before he could finish speaking, his body completely vanished, leaving only the peculiar duel disk. When Yuki picked it up, he felt a familiar energy fluctuation—it shared the same origin as Alcard's power of creation, but was far more sinister.
Lord Dark Night? Seven seals? Asuka recorded this information; it seems we have a new lead.
Xiaoye used her magic wand to probe for residual energy in the air: these Phantom Knights cards... their power comes from a sealed entity.
Looking at his newly evolved Evil Heroes deck, Yuki realized he was being drawn into a battle spanning millennia. The Chaos Code's choice of him was no accident; the clash between Evil Heroes and the Phantom Knights had only just begun.
As the three emerged from the mine, the sky over Grayrock City unexpectedly cleared. Sunlight shone on Yuuki's card deck, making the dark gold patterns shimmer with a mysterious light. Whatever awaited them ahead, the evil heroes were ready to meet a new challenge.
Chapter 300 The Descends of the Evil God
Yuki stood in the center of the ruins of an ancient temple, holding the Three Evil Gods card deck he had just acquired. He had found it in a sealed underground ruin while exploring clues about Lord Dark Night. The deck emitted an ominous purple light, and each card seemed to tremble slightly as if it were alive.
Are you sure you want to use this deck? Sayo grabbed Yuki's sleeve worriedly; I could feel it was filled with dark energy.
Asuka is adjusting the holographic recorder: According to the murals in the ruins, these three evil god cards caused a devastating catastrophe a thousand years ago. But if it were you... perhaps you could control them.
Yuuki gently stroked the Evil God, Source of Fear, at the top of his deck. Since obtaining the Chaos Code, he had discovered he could resonate with various dark decks. This time, he was heading to the Dark Night Duel Tournament—an underground event that gathered the nation's strongest dark duelists. This was the fastest way to find Lord Dark Night.
The Dark Night Duel Arena is built inside a volcano, surrounded by churning lava, with only a few iron chain bridges connecting it to a central platform. The audience consists of masked dark duelists, and the air is thick with the smells of sulfur and blood.
The next challenger is San Si Lin Qi @栮弍似"*Basi! The host's hoarse voice echoed throughout the venue, the guy who calls himself the Shadow!
Yuki stepped onto the platform, his black robes fluttering in the hot wind. His opponent was a man dressed as a mummy, his entire body wrapped in bandages, who called himself the Death Priest and used an Undead deck.
Another one sent to their death. The Death Priest's voice seemed to come from a grave: "I will turn your soul into new mummy cards!"
DUEL!
First move is mine! The Death Priest seizes the initiative and activates the Spell Card Undead World! Then, he Normal Summons Pyramid Turtle in Attack Position! A skeleton turtle carrying a pyramid appears, with ~ATK 1200.
Three cards are covered, end of turn. The Death Priest doesn't seem like much of a threat on the field, but Yuuki knows that Undead decks are best at graveyard resurrection tactics.
My turn, draw a card. Yuuki looked at the Evil God Annihilator, Evil God's Ritual, Evil God's Descent, and two unknown traps in his hand. He decided to test his opponent first: activate the spell card Evil God's Ritual! Send Evil God Annihilator from his hand to the graveyard, and add Evil God - Source of Fear from his deck to his hand.
The Death Priest sneered: Foolish! You actually took the initiative to discard your trump card!
Yuuki ignored him: He then activated the Continuous Spell "Descent of the Evil God!" Once per turn, you can Special Summon one Evil God Monster from your hand. He raised the card that emitted a purple glow, "Descent, Evil God, Source of Fear!"
The entire dueling arena suddenly trembled violently, and a gigantic black shadow composed of countless screaming faces emerged from the void, its attack power displayed as 4000. Terrified screams erupted from the audience, and several cowardly duelists fainted on the spot.
The effect of Source of Fear activates! Yuki's voice deepened. If this card is successfully Special Summoned, your opponent must randomly discard two cards from their hand!
The Death Priest's hand automatically produced two cards, which were torn to shreds by an unseen force. Damn it... but my undead world remains, and you can't stop my resurrection tactics!
Battle Phase! The Source of Fear attacks the Pyramid Turtle! A crushing defeat of 4000 against 1200, the Death Priest's health drops to 7200, and the Pyramid Turtle is destroyed and sent to the graveyard.
"Pyramid Turtle's effect!" the Death Priest shouted. "When destroyed by battle, you can Special Summon one Zombie-Type monster with 2000 or less ATK from your Deck! I summon Vampire Lord!"
A vampire dressed in noble attire appears, with an attack power of 2000. End of turn. Yuki said calmly.
My turn, draw a card! The Death Priest glanced at his hand, a sinister smile spreading across his face, and activated the Spell Card Book of the Living! Special Summon Pyramid Turtle from your Graveyard and banish Evil God Annihilator from your Graveyard!
In Yuuki's graveyard, the card of Annihilator was consumed by purple flames. Then, the Trap Card Zombie Roar was activated! This turn, my Zombie monsters gain 1000 ATK!
The Vampire Lord's attack power has increased to 3000. Battle! The Vampire Lord attacks the Source of Fear! The Death Priest laughs wildly, "Under the influence of the Undead World, your evil god cannot unleash its full power!"
Unleashing the quick-attack magic, Evil God's Intimidation! Yuki immediately responded, "This turn, my Evil God Monster is unaffected by the opponent's magic traps!" The Source of Fear's attack power instantly soared to 5000, turning the tables and killing the Vampire Lord.
The Death Priest's life points dropped to 5200, but he remained calm: He activated the Trap Card Resurrect! Special Summoning Vampire Lord from the Graveyard! Then, he activated the second Book of the Living to Special Summon Pyramid Turtle!
Stack the two monsters on top of each other! The Death Priest shouts, Xyz Summon! No. 22 Unruly! A zombie giant wrapped in chains appears, with an attack power of 4500.
The effect of "Don't Rashly Use Power"! Removes one overpowered material, allowing you to attack twice this turn! The Death Priest laughs wildly, battle begins! "Don't Rashly Use Power" attacks the Source of Fear!
4500对4000,游纪的生命值降至9500。第二次直接攻击!4500的伤害将游纪生命值压到5000。
0 ······Requesting flowers·· ····
The round is over. The Death Priest says smugly, "Next round will be your doom!"
Yuki looked at his last two cards: My turn, draw. He drew the Evil God - Avatar of God. As soon as he held the card, the entire deck suddenly vibrated in unison.
Activate the magic card Dark Realm Deal! Yuuki begins to operate, discarding the Evil God - Avatar of God from his hand, and draws two cards! The newly drawn cards are Cradle of the Evil God and Evil God - Annihilator.
Next, activate the Continuous Spell: Cradle of Evil Gods! Once per turn, you can Special Summon one Evil God Monster from your Graveyard! Yuuki's voice becomes ethereal: Return from the darkness, Evil God Annihilator!
..... ...... ....
A gigantic sphere composed of pure darkness descends, its surface constantly revealing distorted faces. Its attack power is displayed as ?. The effect of Annihilator! This card's attack power equals the monster with the highest attack power on the field +1000! Currently, Unruly's attack power is 4500, therefore Annihilator's attack power is 5500.
The second effect of the Annihilator activates! Yuuki waves his hand, once per turn, you can destroy one monster on the field! I choose your Unruly Ken!
A beam of light shot from the dark sphere, instantly disintegrating the zombie giant into basic particles. Battle! The Annihilator attacks directly! Its attack power of 5500 reduces the Death Priest's health to zero.
After the duel ended, the Death Priest's bandages began to unwrap themselves, revealing a shriveled corpse beneath—he was already a true mummy. A commotion erupted in the audience, and several referees rushed onto the platform to investigate.
Shadow has won! The host's voice trembled slightly. The next round will begin in half an hour!
In the lounge, Asuka was analyzing data: the energy fluctuations of the Three Evil Gods deck were similar to those of the Phantom Knights, both pointing to the same source. She pulled up an ancient star chart, and according to calculations, when the power of the seven dark decks gathered, a certain seal would be broken.
Saya used her magic wand to heal Yuki from the soul damage caused by the duel: her next opponent was Blood Rose, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Night, who was using a vampire deck.
Yuki closed his eyes to meditate, sensing the ripples the Three Evil Gods card deck was creating in his mind. These evil god cards seemed to possess their own will, attempting to communicate with him. Most strangely, he could understand their whispers—they were warning him about the truth concerning the Lord of Night.
Chapter 301 Vampire Blood Rose
The second round of the duel took place on the blood pool platform. Glass jars filled with blood floated all around, and the ground was paved with bones. Yuki's opponent was a bewitching woman in a blood-red dress, with faint blue veins visible beneath her pale skin.
Cute little guy~ Blood Rose licked her sharp canines, your blood smells... very special.
DUEL!
First strike is mine! Blood Rose's movements are as graceful as a dance as she activates the field spell Vampire Empire! Then, she normally summons Vampire Grace in attack position!
A noblewoman carrying a red umbrella appears, with an attack power of 2000. Grace's effect: Add Vampire Domain from the deck to your hand. She continues to expand, setting three cards face-down, and ends her turn.
Yuki scanned his opponent's field: a monster with 2000 ATK, a Field Spell, and three face-down cards. A typical Vampire Control opening; those face-down cards were likely interference cards like Vampire Domination or Vampire Transformation.
My turn, draw a card. Yuuki's hand consists of Evil God Abaddon, Evil God Awakening, Evil God's Eye, and two traps. He decides to test the waters first: activate the spell card Evil God Awakening! Add one Evil God card from the deck to my hand. I choose Evil God: Source of Fear.
Then, Normal Summon Evil God's Eye, Defense Position. A giant eyeball appears on the field, its pupil reflecting the image of Blood Rose. Evil God's Eye's effect! Once per turn, you can view one face-down card from your opponent! He chose the middle one, the Vampire's support card "897".
Cover three cards, turn ends. Yuuki's defensive setup is complete.
My turn~ Draw~ Blood Rose glanced at her hand, revealing a dangerous smile, and activated the Quick-Play Spell Vampire Desire! Special Summon Vampire Sheret from my hand! The second vampire appears, also with 2000 ATK.
Stack two vampires on top of each other~ Blood Rose's voice becomes sweet and cloying, Xyz Summon! Vampire Sherrera! An even more alluring female vampire appears, with an attack power of 2500.
Sherera's effect: Remove 1 Xyz Material and add Vampire Heiress from your Deck to your hand. She continues her actions, then activates the Spell Card Vampire Domain! Special Summon Vampire Heiress from your hand!
A little girl in a gorgeous dress appears, her attack power only 1600, but Yuuki knows this is the most dangerous part. "Thousand Gold's Effect~" Blood Rose chuckles, adding the Vampire Creator from her deck to her hand~
Battle Phase ~ Sherera attacks the Eye of the Evil God! 2500 attack power destroys the eyeball. Thousand Gold direct attack! 1600 damage reduces Yuki's HP to 8400.
Round over~ Blood Rose blew a kiss, your blood smells sweeter and sweeter~
Yuki felt dizzy from the loss of life points, but the Evil God deck was continuously replenishing his dark energy. My turn, draw a card. The new card I drew is Evil God's Descent.
Activate the Continuous Spell: Descent of the Evil God! Special Summon the Evil God, Source of Terror, from your hand! A colossal shadow descends once more, with 4000 ATK. Source of Terror's effect! Discard two random cards from your hand!
Blood Rose's two cards were torn to shreds. She frowned slightly: Ugh~ Those were the Creator cards I just got~
Battle! The Source of Fear attacks Sherrera! 4000 vs. 2500, Blood Rose's life points drop to 7500. Set one card face down, end turn.
My turn~ Draw a card~ Blood Rose looked at her remaining cards and suddenly revealed a sinister smile, activating the trap card Vampire's Domination! Gain control of your source of fear~
Purple chains entangled the shadowy figure, pulling it onto Blood Rose's field. Then, the effect of Vampire's Desire in the Graveyard was activated, returning this card to the hand.
Normal Summon Vampire Baby – A hideous bat-like baby appears with only 500 ATK. Then activate the Spell Card Vampire Conversion! Send the Princess and Baby on the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon Vampire Baron from your Deck!
A noble vampire riding a blood-red warhorse appears, with 2800 ATK. The Red Baron's effect—Blood Rose's voice becomes shrill—means this card can attack each monster once!
战斗!红男爵攻击恐惧之源!2800对4000,血蔷薇的生命值降至6300。谢列拉直接攻击!2500伤害将游纪生命值压到5900。
Round over~ Blood Rose licks her lips, ready to drain your blood in the next round~
Yuki's health was hanging by a thread, but his eyes remained calm. My turn, draw a card. The new card I drew is the Evil God Abaddon.
Activate the effect of the Awakening of the Evil God in the Graveyard! Banish this card and add Evil God: Avatar from your Deck to your hand! Yuuki's maneuver was fluid and seamless. He then activated the Spell Card Dark World's Deal! Discard Avatar: Avatar and draw two cards!
The new items I drew are Cradle of the Evil God and Evil God: Annihilator.
Unleash the Continuous Magic: Cradle of the Evil God! Special Summon Evil God: Annihilator from the Graveyard! The Dark Sphere descends once more, its ATK calculated based on the Red Baron's ATK as 3800.
The Annihilator's effect activates! Destroy Sheriera! Dark rays vaporize the female vampire. Battle! The Annihilator attacks the Red Baron! 3800 vs. 2800, Blood Rose's HP drops to 5300.
The round ends. Yuki now has an Annihilator with 3800 attack power on his field, turning the tide of the battle.
Blood Rose's expression finally turned serious: My turn~ Draw a card~ She glanced at the card she had drawn and suddenly let out a piercing laugh: Activate the Spell Card Vampire's Thirst! This turn, my Vampire Monster can attack twice!
The Red Baron attacks the Annihilator! 2800 vs 3800, her HP drops to 4700. Second direct attack! Yuuki's HP drops to 3100.
Activate the Trap Card "Evil God Rebirth"! Yuki has finally activated his face-down card, Special Summoning Evil God - Source of Fear from the Graveyard! The shadow descends once more, with 4000 ATK.
End of round~ Blood Rose's voice was a little weak, but next round...
