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

Chapter 45: The Proto-Dragon, the Ancient Dragon, and the Black Magician

"Furthermore, because the total number of Magic Trap Cards has increased by three, Dark Magician Rider's attack power has increased by 200."

[Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Cavalry, Attack Power 3800 → Attack Power 4100]

"Tch, has its attack power increased?"

Mitarashi Shiryo gave a nonchalant snort.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the effect of the Magic Hammer I just drew! Shuffle this card and any other cards from my hand back into the deck, then draw a card! (Original card)"

He changed his hand, looked at his cards, and said, "I'll also activate the effect of Pot of Greed and draw two cards."

"And then there's the effect of the Spider Silk in my hand! (Original card)"

Mitarai Shira chuckled and said, "Add one of the opponent's spell cards from the previous turn to their hand."

"I choose the Summoner's Arts from your graveyard!"

"Can I borrow this really useful card?"

A card from Kagura Kiryu's graveyard popped out and automatically flew into Mitarashi Shira's hand.

"Then I use the Summoner's Art! I add the Level 6 Normal Monster, Fire Hellhound, from my deck to my hand."

A card pops out of Mitarashi Shira's Duel Disk deck. After he draws it, the deck is automatically shuffled.

Kagura Kiryu was a little envious.

It's an automatic washing and cutting duel disk.

"Then I activate the effect of the Fusion Gate, banishing Flame Hellhound and High-Tech Wolf from my hand!"

"The fusion condition is two Normal Monsters!"

Mitarai Shira shouted maniacally, "Fusion Summon! Level 9!"

"Protodragon, Ancient Dragon!"

The two monsters were drawn into the vortex of fusion and became a towering dragon.

[Ancient Dragon, Level 9, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2700, Fusion Monster]

Kagura Kiryu exclaimed, "You even have the Primordial Dragon. It seems that Akama Zero has really given you a lot of good stuff."

"Hahaha, that's right! This is the strongest trump card Professor Akama gave me!"

Mitarai Shirai laughed heartily, then suddenly realized something was wrong, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead:

"Wait, I've always called you Professor Akaba. How did you know Professor Akaba's real name?"

Kiryu Kagura didn't answer, but simply reminded him, "You have an extra spell card in your graveyard, so Dark Magician Rider's attack power has increased by 100."

[Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Cavalry, Attack Power 4100 → Attack Power 4200]

"Heh, 4200 attack power? That's impressive."

Mitarai Shira's attention was diverted, and he suddenly revealed a malicious smile: "But if you die, even the most powerful monster is useless!"

"Let me show you what winning cards my remaining three are!"

"First up, the first one! Equip the magic, Demon Axe! Increases the monster's attack power by 1000!"

"I'm equipping the Proto-Dragon and Elder Dragons!"

[Ancient Dragon, Attack Power 2700 → Attack Power 3700]

"Then comes the second Equip Spell Card! The Mask of Ferocity! Equip it to a monster that gains 1000 ATK and loses 1000 DEF! Equip it to Ancient Dragon again!"

[Ancient Dragon, Attack Power 3700 → Attack Power 4700]

"Then comes the third spell card! Quick-Play! Grants Ancient Dragon the ability to attack this turn!"

Kiryu Kagura: "Because we have three more magic cards, the Dark Magician Rider's attack power has increased by 300!"

[Super Magic Knight - Dark Magician Cavalry, Attack Power 4200 → Attack Power 4500]

"It's pointless! Hahahaha, submit to the might of the Proto-Dragon!"

"Battle! The Primordial Dragon attacks Princess Blizzard! Primordial Roar!"

The progenitor dragon opened its massive mouth, gathering its breath.

【Blizzard Princess, Attack Power 2800】

[Ancient Dragon, Attack Power 4700]

【Kagura Kiryu: L1900】

4700-2800 1900 =

If this attack succeeds, it will completely deplete Kagura Kiryu's health points.

Of course, true duelists are always three steps ahead and cannot be unprepared.

"Open the face card, perpetual trap, soul barrier."

A face-down card appears at Kagura Kiryu's feet: "As long as I have a monster on my field, it will deal 0 damage to me in battle."

Princess Blizzard stretched out her arm to block the enraged Proto-Dragon, but her attack power was no match for its opponent, and she was forced to retreat.

Mitarashi Shirai clicked his tongue and, having no cards left in his hand, declared the end of his turn.

"It's my turn. Draw a card."

Kagura Kiryu looked at the card he had drawn and chuckled.

"Then let me show you the latest form of the Dark Magician I've acquired."

Mitarai Shira is on guard; what is the latest form of the Black Magician?

"First, I activate the Spell Card, Angel's Charity."

Draw three cards, then discard two to the graveyard.

He drew cards, then picked out two to discard.

"I activate the Spell Card, Preparation for the Ritual."

"Add one Ritual Monster of Level 7 or lower from your Deck to your hand."

Kiryu Kagura draws a card from his deck and shows it to his opponent: "I add the Level 7 Chaos Magician to my hand."

"Then, still the effect of Ritual Preparation, after adding a Ritual Monster to my hand, I can add one Ritual Spell Card from my Deck to my hand."

Mitarai Shira: "When did ritual magic appear in the graveyard? Wait, was the effect of the angel's charity discarded?"

A card pops out of Kagura Kiryu's graveyard: "I add the Spell Card, Chaos Type, to my hand."

He inserted the card into the Duel Disk: "I activate Ritual Spell, Chaos Mode!"

Five metallic wings, imbued with chaotic magic, unfurled, condensing in the center a purplish-black magic ball containing the power of "chaos".

"This card can be used as a Ritual Summoning of a Tribute Monster instead of banishing Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Dark Magician from the Graveyard!"

"I'll exclude the dark magician in the cemetery!"

"A completely new form evolved by the highest-ranking magician after being affected by chaos!"

"Ritual Summoning!"

"Level 7! The Magician of Chaos!"

The dark magician's phantom spirit entered the ritual gate, adorned in a dark blue-black magician's robes and an upgraded wand.

A new incantation appeared on his face, and his mage robes became even more magnificent.

[Chaos Magician, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 2500, Ritual Monster]

That's right, this is another disguise for the Dark Magician, even the panel is exactly the same.

Mitarashi Shirai realized that Kagura Kiryu's hand had grown to three cards from the normal draw, and now he had two left.

In other words, through this series of actions by the opponent, they summoned a ritual monster that would otherwise cost a huge amount of resources, using only one card from their hand, just like playing it directly on the field.

"Was the dark magician in the cemetery another one thrown down by the angels as alms?"

"That's right."

Kagura Kiryu continued, "Then I activate the magic card! Soul Servant!"

He inserted a card into his Duel Disk: "I can place any card from my hand, deck, or graveyard that has 'Dark Magician' or 'Dark Magician Girl' listed as it on top of my deck!"
