After drawing the cards to start the round, the Maze Brothers looked at each other and simultaneously fixed their gazes on the graveyard area of the duel arena where the cards were stored.
"We're almost ready, brother!"
"It's time to let the two little ghosts feel the terror from the elemental demon."
"——Equip the magic card and activate [Premature Burial]!"
[Premature Burial Equipment Magic Card Effect: Pay 800 Life Points, select 1 monster in your Graveyard to activate. The selected monster is Special Summoned in face-up Attack Position and equipped with this card. When this card is destroyed, the equipped monster is destroyed.]
Labyrinth Brothers LP: 4000 → 3200
It is equivalent to the equipment version of [Resurrection of the Dead]. After the numbers representing the health points jump, the Maze Brothers draw monster cards from the graveyard.
"Do you want to revive the destroyed [maze wall]?" You Ling threatened: "Don't waste your time. No matter how many times you revive the maze wall, I will use the Heavenly Knight to destroy it!"
"No, no, no, the monster I want to resurrect is not the maze wall, nor the shadow of the wall, but the elemental demon monster sleeping in the cemetery!"
Aisha asked curiously, "Elemental Demon God? Where did the other monsters come from in the cemetery across the street? Labyrinth Brothers, didn't you only summon two monsters from the beginning to the end?"
Yu Ling responded and explained, "I see, it's a hand card that is discarded as a condition when activating a card effect."
Whether it is the first magic card [Reduce Cost] or the subsequent magic card [Wave to the Dead], it is necessary to discard 1 card in the hand as a prerequisite.
This means that there are two cards of unknown origin in the graveyard of the Labyrinth Brothers. The Elemental Demon mentioned earlier must be among them.
In a two-player duel, the graveyard is universal. Even if the monster card in the graveyard of a teammate is resurrected, this operation is allowed.
“Hehehe, open your eyes and watch carefully. The monster I am going to revive is the one that forced the Duel King into a desperate situation! Special Summon [Wind Demon God - Shuuga]!”
[Wind Demon - Shuga ★★★★★★★ (7*) Wind] [Mage Clan/Effect ATK: 2400 DEF: 2200]
The Wind Demon that descended in the storm is at level 7, and its attack power is comparable to that of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
It just looks like a green ball with two arms, which is very abstract.
Aisha: "Such a unique little thing is the monster that pushed the Duel King to his death?"
"It's not over yet, I'm going to activate the trap card that my brother covered last turn!"
The Trap Card that was covered by the bald man with the word "迷" in the last round was uncovered by the bald man with the word "宫" in this round.
"——Perpetual Trap [The Voice of the Living Dead]!"
[Call of the Living Dead Continuous Trap Card Effect: Select 1 monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon it as an attack.]
Following the equipment card version of resurrection of the dead, the Maze Brothers launched the trap card version of resurrection of the dead, continuing to resurrect monsters from the graveyard.
It seems that the two cards discarded by the Maze Brothers through magic cards are high-star monsters that are prepared to be resurrected and summoned from the graveyard.
Use the graveyard resurrection method to avoid the need to consume sacrifices for high-star monsters.
Using this tactic, it is not difficult to see that the Maze Brothers are not duelists who only rely on the maze to talk nonsense.
"Resurrect, the second elemental demon! - [Water Demon Sgar]!"
[Water Demon God Sgar ★★★★★★★ (7*) Water] [Aqua/Effect ATK: 2500 DEF: 2400]
The water elemental demon with legs has an attack power 100 points higher than that of the wind demon.
But a monster summon of this level alone cannot compete with the 3800 attack points of the Heavenly Knight.
"Finally, I Normal Summon [Worm of the Labyrinth], and then activate the Spell Card [Sacrifice Doll]!"
[Sacrifice Doll Magic Card Effect: Activate by sacrificing 1 monster on your field. Special Summon 1 Level 7 monster that can be Normal Summoned from your hand. The Special Summoned Monster cannot attack this turn.]
The worm stayed on the field for only one second before being sacrificed, guiding the lightning of the last card in the hand of the Maze Brothers.
"The third demon god - [Thunder Demon God Sanga] has arrived!"
[Thunder Demon God Sanga ★★★★★★★ (7*) Thunder] [Thunder Tribe/Effect ATK: 2600 DEF: 2200]
The three demons gathered together, and each of them looked strange and bizarre. The reason was...
"Now, the three invincible demons are all present on the field. Combine them and become the three elemental demons!"
The reason is that the three demon gods with strange shapes are used to merge.
After being placed in the order of thunder as the head, wind as the body, and water as the feet, the three originally independent cards become a complete monster.
Yes, that's right, it's the super high star card that You Ling saw in the High Elf Research Society, which he called a card that even dogs wouldn't use.
"The Trinity of Demons, Special Summon! - [Guardian of the Gate]!"
[Guardian of the Gate ★★★★★★★★★★★ (11 stars) Dark]
[Warrior / Special Summon / Effect ATK: 3750 DEF: 3400]
With a level of up to 11 stars, the combined form of the three demons is located on the ruins of the maze.
You Ling was surprised and stammered, "This, this, this... is it?"
The Maze Brothers spent a lot of time trying to create a monster like this.
The monster formed by the fusion of three level 7 demons has a final attack power that is not even as high as the Heavenly Knight formed by the fusion of the three Poker Knights.
Then you might as well not fit in.
Chapter 81: The Legend of the Black Dragon and the Devil
[Gate Guardian ATK: 3750]
[Heavenly Knight ATK: 3800]
Aixia: "Mr. You Ling, it seems that we are stronger."
You read it right. If you remove the word 'seems', it means we are stronger.
“Hahahahaha, you’re scared, right? We are the strongest demon god of the Trinity!”
The labyrinth brothers laughed wildly in unison, their devilish laughter echoing in the underground space.
"Oh, yes, yes, I was indeed scared."
You Ling had seen the effects of the Gate Guardian God's card.
It's just a blank slate with only star rating and attack power.
You Ling couldn't help but be shocked by the opponent's intelligence, as he exhausted all the resources to summon such a monster.
But as cautious as You Ling was, he did not completely let down his guard.
If you put yourself in their shoes, if these two brothers were really so stupid, how could they have forced the so-called duel king into a desperate situation?
One of the duel kings mentioned by the Maze Brothers must be Yugi Muto.
It's just that because it was so long ago, You Ling has forgotten the plot of the animation he watched in his childhood, and only remembers the more famous Kouhu Maze.
"I'm ending this round."
The Maze Brothers came to an end, and control of the double duel fell into the hands of Kevin, who was in the last position.
"My turn, draw a card!"
After drawing the card, Kevin couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Heavenly Knight with an attack power of 3800 points on the field.
"Aishakalos' strongest monster is really powerful, the strongest heavenly knight."
Each of the three demons on the opposite side is comparable to or even surpasses the level of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
However, the attack power of the three demon gods combined at that level still did not surpass the heavenly level. The potential of the three knights of poker can be said to have been fully utilized by this method of fusion.
"Please lend me your strongest power this round, Aisha. Use it to break through the opponent's guardian!"
In a two-player duel, since you can revive monsters in your teammates' graveyards, it is undoubtedly possible to use your teammates to summon monsters on the field to fight.
The declaration entered the battle phase of this round, and Kevin directly used the Heavenly Knight to attack the Guardian of the Gate.
"Let's take down the strongest monster on the other side! ——『Heavenly Holy Cross Slash』!"
The sacred sword slashed twice in the air, drawing a cross of blade light and slashing towards the guardian of the gate after it merged.
"Haha, I got fooled!"
The Maze Brothers sneered sinisterly.
"When you attack, the effect of the Gate Guardian activates!"
The bad premonition came true, and You Ling immediately retorted: "A blank monster like the Gate Guardian will never have any effect!"
"Little girl, what are you talking about?"
This time it was the Maze Brothers who were confident and didn't feel guilty at all about their nonsense just now.
"How could a Gate Guardian who has perfectly inherited the power of the three elemental demons have no effect? Watch carefully!"
The Maze Brothers picked up the card of the Guardian of the Door on the table and displayed it openly.
[The attack power of the monster attacking this card becomes 0. This effect can be used 3 times as long as this card is face-up.]
This time, it was really written on the card.
Unlike the blank Gate Guardian that You Ling had seen in the High Elf Research Society before, the combined Gate Guardian in the hands of the Labyrinth Brothers inherited the power of the Thunder, Wind and Water Demons respectively, and can reduce the attack power of the opponent's monsters.
And because of the fusion of the power of the three demons, this effect can even be used three times.
"Why, this is different from the card I saw?"
You Ling looked at Rovik behind him with puzzled eyes.
Since these are replica cards made by the Brown family industry, he should know something.
As a result, Rovik just shrugged helplessly, saying that he had no idea why the guardian of the gate on the opposite side was stronger.
Perhaps because they are in different worlds, the specific powers of the card elves also vary.
As an 11-star monster formed by the fusion of three demons, this effect is truly in line with the strength of [Guardian of the Gate].
Labyrinth Brothers Roaring Declaration Effect, "Blow up the water barrier and reduce the attack power of the Heavenly Knight to 0, Guardian of the Gate!"
Although the Celestial Knight can negate the effect that targets this card by discarding the card in his hand, there is no way to counter the effect of the Demon God that does not target.
In the end, the duelist who does not choose an opponent is better.
[Heavenly Knight ATK: 3800 → 0]
"Haha, it's over."
The sneer of success was reflected in the insidious counter-attack tactics of the Maze Brothers.
Aisha & Kevin LP: 3700
After the absorption shield is restored, You Ling and Kevin's health points are 3700 points
However, after the attack power is reduced to 0, this time the battle cannot be stopped, and will cause combat damage to the two people equal to 3750 attack points of the Guardian of the Gate.
Aisha: "If the battle damage is established, I will lose the duel!"
"How can I be defeated because of this effect?"
You Ling uncovered the Trap Card that was covered in the previous round, temporarily changing the attack, and the change was drastic.
"——Activate the Trap Card [Unique Strategy]! I discard the [Devil Summon] in my hand and reduce the attack power of [Gate Guardian] by an amount equal to that of [Devil Summon]!"
The Demon Summoning, which has 100 attack points higher than Red-Eyes Black Dragon, is weakened by 2500 points after being discarded with the help of the effect of Conspiracy.
[Gate Guardian ATK: 3750 → 1250]
If it were an ordinary monster, after being weakened by the thunder summoned by the devil, its attack power would most likely become 0.
But it is undeniable that the attack power of the Gate Guardian after the fusion is 3750 points, which is indeed not low.
Even though he was weakened by the Demon Summoning, he still managed to destroy the Heavenly Knight by counterattacking with the combined power of the triple elements.
【Heavenly Knight】Destruction
Aisha & Kevin LP: 3700 → 2450
Fortunately, You Ling gave up the demon summoning at the critical moment, barely allowing himself and Kevin to maintain their health during this crisis.
The question is, how to attack next?
Even the Heavenly Knight can't do it. Even if the attack power of the Gate Guardian is weakened, the remaining 2 times of reducing the opponent's monster's attack power to 0 still exists.
"——Activate Magic Card [Pot of Greed]!"
After the battle phase ended, Kevin calmly threw the cards onto the table.
