Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 82 The Royal Family's Sacred Beast

"Open the cover card!"

Lishid unveils his final act: "Counter-Trap, [Anubis's Judgment]."

"You can activate this effect when your opponent activates a Spell Card that destroys a Spell or Trap Card on the field. Discard one card from your hand to negate that effect!"

"Furthermore! It can destroy one monster on your opponent's field and inflict damage equal to that monster's attack power!"

Lishid showed a rare hint of a smile and raised his scepter, which appeared to be made of tin alloy, once more:

"Kagura Kiryu, you've finally fallen into my trap."

Lishid held up his four cards and sent one of them to the graveyard:

"I choose to destroy your 'Black Magician' on the field!"

"And what I just discarded was the magic card 'Compensation Treasure Card' (comic card), so I'm drawing two cards from my deck!"

The white mist transformed into the form of Anubis, tearing at the Black Magician like a hound, swallowing him whole. The Black Magician raised his hand to shield himself, but it still dissipated into specks of light.

Behind Kagura Kiryu, the [Black Magician] transformed back into a spirit, filled with remorse:

"I'm sorry, Master, my cultivation is still not strong enough."

Kagura Kiryu waved his hand: "It's alright, I have plenty of health, I can handle it."

Lishid: "I inflict damage equal to the [Dark Magician]'s attack power! That is, 2500!"

Anubis also rushed over, and the white mist pierced through Kagura Kiryu's body. Kagura Kiryu subconsciously raised his hand to shield himself.

[Kagura Kiryu: LP5000→LP2500]

"Kagura!"

Several friends gasped in surprise, and Wang Yang even broke out in a sweat: "They actually managed to take away half of Kagura's health in one go!"

"That Malik is incredibly cunning!"

"They actually used psychology, deliberately using [Light of Protection] to lure Kagura into using a spell card that destroys the back row!"

The phantom of the little table also appeared behind King: "As expected of a duelist who uses trap tactics, his ability to set traps is simply terrifying."

"Chicken-chan, Jonouchi, Honda, Shizuka..."

Xiao Biao's expression was full of worry: "There are only eighteen minutes left. Is that really enough time?"

"aibo, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Wang Yang said with a serious expression, "There will be enough time. That's Kagura, after all."

"He helped us when he was working for the thief Keith, which allowed us to meet again."

"What we need to do now is trust him."

"Let our hearts reach into his heart."

With a determined look in his eyes, Yami Yugi said, "Aibo, you have to believe in our bond."

"As long as our bond exists, we can overcome anything in this world! Miracles will happen!"

Tears welled up in Xiao Biao's eyes, and he nodded sharply, "I understand, it was my fault. Thank you, my other self!"

Unnamed passerby, Otogi Ryuuji: ......

what about me?

In short, somehow, with the blessing of the King of Nonsense's friendship, Kagura Kiryu inexplicably felt a warm current flowing down his back.

Kagura Kiryu: ?

What's going on? Why does the deck feel like it's getting hot?

He glanced at his hand and found it inexplicably terrible; he didn't have a single monster he could play.

What's going on today?

Is your bond depleted?

"Then I'll set two more cards face down, and the turn is over."

Two card backs appear on the duel field.

Lishid placed his fingers on the deck and shouted:

"Now, we are only one step away from liberating the guardian beasts within the Royal Temple!"

"Awaken, my deck! Add the components of my victory to my hand!"

"Draw a card!"

Lishid's card flashed through the air in a silver arc.

Clearly, as Lishid chanted those incomprehensible words, his deck responded to him, drawing an incredible card.

Lishid added the card to his hand, held up his six cards, and shouted:

"Now, I have all the components!"

"Let's begin the ritual to release the sealed divine beast!"

Lishid draws a card from his hand and inserts it into the Duel Disk; "Spell Card, [The Holy Grail of Souls]! (Original Card)"

A green spell card appears on the field. It's not a continuous spell, but it's miraculously present on the field.

Lishid drew another card and inserted it into the Duel Disk; "Spell Card, [Crest of Serket]! (Original Card)"

"When you have three cards on your field at the same time: [Royal Temple], [Sealed Grail], and [Crest of Serket], the guardian beast of the temple will appear!"

"Come out, level 6."

"The silence of the guardian temple devours all invading enemies, [Sacred Beast Serket]!"

The bricks of the Royal Temple shattered, and a giant scorpion, deep purple in color, bearing the mark of the Millennium Eye and with a mouthful of worm-like teeth, crawled out.

That "sacred" face made everyone feel physically uncomfortable.

[Sacred Beast Serket, Level 6, Earth Attribute, Angel Race, Attack Power 2500, Effect Monster.]

That's right, this thing belongs to the Angel race.

As is well known, when Konami is unsure which race a monster should be classified into, they will simply write "angel" as the race.

"Next, I'll set a card face down, and then, based on the effect of [Royal Temple], I can activate it immediately!"

"Trap Card [Trap Nullification] activated!"

"After this card is activated, the effects of any Trap Cards will be negated for the rest of this turn!"

Yosaki Mio felt like she was being restrained; "Oh no, this round, my brother won't be able to use traps to defeat the opponent."

"That's right! [Sacred Beast Serket] attacks [Evil Knight Dragon]!"

【Sacred Beast Serket】opened its sharp teeth, quickly approached, opened its huge mouth, and cruelly bit off the head of 【Evil Knight Dragon】.

Kyoko was so shocked by this scene that she covered her mouth, her face turning pale. She was hugged by Mai: "Eaten...ate it?"

"Click, click..."

The [Holy Beast Serket] ate the [Evil Knight Dragon] like it was a spicy snack, and its body changed, becoming slender and resembling the [Evil Knight Dragon].

Lishid: "[Sacred Beast Serket]'s special ability: Monsters destroyed by battle by this card are banished!"

"Furthermore, this card gains half of that monster's ATK and is added to it! (Original Card)"

The [Evil Knight Dragon] popped up from Kagura Kiryu's grave, and he immediately put it in his pocket.

"The attack power of the Evil Knight Dragon is 2350."

Lishid shouted, "That's right! That's why the [Sacred Beast Serket]'s attack power has increased by half, which is 1175!"

[Sacred Beast Serket, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 3675]

The president crossed his arms and sneered, "A monster with an attack power of 3675, does that surpass my [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]?"

"But this guy isn't so easy to defeat."

"Kagura! Stop fooling around! It's time to get serious!"
