"My turn, draw!"
The moment You Xuan drew a card, a dazzling blaze erupted from the Graveyard on the Duel Disk, and a burning firebird soared into the sky.
As if the serene heavens were torn apart, countless scorching particles gathered into a physical form, dancing and swirling in the air, like flames infused with life.
The rising flames unleashed powerful energy, gradually revealing a majestic outline. The golden divine bird, its feathers shimmering with brilliant light, its eyes like burning stars, appeared noble yet full of majesty.
"When 'Phoenix God of Nephthys' is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard during my next Standby Phase. Therefore, 'Phoenix God of Nephthys' revives!" You Xuan declared.
[Phoenix God of Nephthys, ATK 2400]
"Furthermore, if Special Summoned successfully by this effect, all Spell and Trap Cards on both fields are destroyed!"
The spectators gasped: "It can clear the backrow upon revival!?"
"The combination of 'Silent Magician' and 'Nephthys' has compressed the field-clearing advantage of Pegasus-sama's 'Sacred Beast King' to its absolute minimum."
The speaker was a woman with a black hair clip, the card professor Tiramook, who had dueled Yugi in a side story, and one of Pegasus J. Crawford's elite subordinates, using a Vampire deck.
"Pegasus-sama has utilized Sacred Beast King's destructive power to its fullest, yet it has been effortlessly resolved. No, not only that, this young man can even constantly find opportunities to counterattack while defending."
The experts nodded in agreement.
Indeed. Although Pegasus seemed to be on a relentless offensive, he had squandered most of his Life Points for the sake of attacking, while the opponent's Life Points remained untouched.
"Is he really a Duel Academy student?"
Tiramook frowned.
"To be honest, he's already stronger than many of our card professors."
Kak Dixon: "..."
"Is Phoenix God's field-clearing effect paving the way for a subsequent offensive?" Pegasus said in a deep voice. "But it won't be that easy.
I activate my Set Card, Continuous Trap - Fiendish Chain!
An evil chain binds one monster on the field. That monster cannot attack, and its effects are negated!"
Evil green chains shot out from the Trap Card, coiling around and binding the body of the Phoenix God. The golden divine bird struggled desperately, but the flames on its body finally dimmed, and the scene instantly turned into some kind of strange bondage play.
"Phoenix God's effect is negated, and my backrow is preserved," Pegasus said.
"Then, entering the Main Phase." You Xuan revealed another card from his hand. "I activate the Spell Card 'Dark Hole'!
All monsters on both fields are destroyed!"
A dark celestial body appeared, like a rift in the galaxy releasing boundless gravity, indiscriminately seeking to annihilate everything on the field.
Pegasus frowned: "Destroying my defenses while also freeing 'Phoenix God of Nephthys' from 'Fiendish Chain's'束缚 (bondage), so that it can clear my backrow again next turn to pave the way for an attack?
Good calculation, but..."
He raised his hand, flipping another Set Card.
"I activate my Set Card, Counter Trap - Magic Jammer!
When an opponent's Spell Card is activated, negate that Spell Card's activation and destroy it. However, the opponent can discard one Spell Card from their hand to negate this card's effect."
You Xuan: "I will not discard a Spell Card."
"Then 'Dark Hole's' activation is negated!"
The dark vortex instantly vanished, and the storm and gravity also dissipated. The field returned to silence.
You Xuan: "Then I will Normal Summon 'Man-Eater Bug' in Attack Position."
[Man-Eater Bug, ATK 450]
"Man-Eater Bug attacks the face-down 'Sacred Beast King Barbaros'!"
Seeing the small, grinning Man-Eater Bug hopping towards the opponent's field, attacking the face-down monster with a headbutt, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats.
Oh no, the tomato is attacking!
Although Sacred Beast King Barbaros had an ATK of 3000, its DEF was an embarrassing 1200. Now, it was actually going to suffer the humiliation of being headbutted by a tomato.
But Pegasus J. Crawford did not allow the attack to pass: "I activate my Set Card! Counter Trap - Negate Attack!
Negate the opponent's attack, and forcibly end the Battle Phase!"
A countering vortex opened, and the little tomato crashed headfirst into the center of the storm, only to be left spinning in confusion. After finally taking the initiative to attack, it still failed to get a kill. The little tomato retreated dejectedly.
"Then I'll Set one card and end my turn."
"My turn, draw!"
Pegasus played the card he drew.
"I activate 'Pot of Greed'! I draw two more cards."
After drawing, he immediately played one of the cards he just drew.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Magical Planter'. I send one Continuous Spell Card on the field to the Graveyard, and draw two cards from my Deck." (Anime effect)
This card's name is "Magical Planter", but when it became a real card, it was changed to activate by "sending a Continuous Trap from the field to the Graveyard." However, at this time, Pegasus's field had both a Continuous Spell and a Continuous Trap, so there was actually no difference.
"I send the Continuous Spell 'Treasures of the Underworld' to the Graveyard and draw two cards from my Deck."
Pegasus drew cards from his Deck again.
After drawing, Pegasus paused, then smiled faintly: "My premonition was correct. There's a reason Seto Kaiba took a liking to you. You are truly a duelist worthy of my full effort.
So, in this duel, I will also hold nothing back. Here, I summon my evolved strongest monster!"
The card professors seemed to understand something upon hearing this, their faces changing.
"Is Pegasus-sama really going to... use 'that'?"
Tiramook crossed her arms over her chest: "Things seem to be getting more and more interesting."
Pegasus J. Crawford has revealed a card in his hand.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Polymerization'!
I fuse 'Sacred Beast King Barbaros' from the field with 'Sacred Machine King Ur' from my hand!"
Sacred Machine King Ur appeared on the field, and both it and Sacred Beast King transformed into a beam of golden light, merging into the vortex of Fusion. A powerful light erupted, and dazzling energy materialized into the form of a sacred beast: a spiral spear, and red armor gleaming with a cold metallic light.
The King of Sacred Beasts donned crimson metal armor, arriving with an even more unstoppable presence!
Beast God Machine King Barbaros Ur, Fusion Summon!
This was also Pegasus J. Crawford's strongest ace monster summoned in the original story during his final battle after he was freed from the Evil God's control with Yugi's help. In the original, it was a Fusion Monster, but in the real card game, its effect was changed, making it an Effect Monster.
[Beast God Machine King Barbaros Ur, ATK 3800]
"It really appeared, Pegasus-sama's strongest monster."
The card professors stirred.
It seemed that even they hadn't seen Pegasus J. Crawford duel at full power in many years.
"Then, I Normal Summon 'Seraphim Cavalry' from my hand!" (Original card)
[Seraphim Cavalry, ATK 1600]
This was also one of the monsters Pegasus used in the original. However, it was just a 4-star Fairy-Type monster whose effect was to increase the ATK of other Fairy-Type monsters on its controller's field by 300, nothing special.
"Continuous Trap 'Blood Compensation' activates its effect!" Pegasus said, "I pay 500 Life Points to gain an additional Normal Summon!"
[Pegasus, LP 1500 → LP 1000]
"By paying 500 Life Points, I Tribute 'Seraphim Cavalry'—
—Level 6, 'Twin-Headed Behemoth', Summon!"
[Twin-Headed Behemoth, ATK 1700]
"This turn, I will launch the decisive all-out attack!" Pegasus shouted. "If you can take it, then show me what you've got!"
