"I special summon the Leo Wizard in Attack Position from my card deck!"
Tenma Yako slammed the card onto his Duel Disc. A dark magic array appeared on the ground, and a wizard draped in a black robe with a tawny face and a cynical gaze slowly floated out of the array, with a long tail extending from beneath his robe.
[Leo Wizard, Attack Power 1350]
The reactions of others were normal, but a few players exploded in excitement.
"Damn, Leo Wizard! Divine Card!"
"Hiss ~ Terrifying, this person actually has such a Divine Card in hand!"
Then Jonouchi looked puzzled: "Huh? Isn't this just a five-star normal... monster card? What's so special about it?"
"You just don't get it." The local player Nora Tatsu stated, saying he wouldn't feel sleepy when talking about this, "The Leo Wizard is an ancient ancestor in the Duel Monster Realm!
Normally, at the top of Duel Monsters are the Three Egyptian God Cards, but a uniquely superior ultimate deity, a genuine mythical beast whose forbidden name we dare not speak of, is this 'Leo Wizard!'"
Jonouchi was bamboozled into a daze: "Really?"
"Of course." Zaina Escape also chimed in, "But this is a taboo in the Duel Monster Realm, those who get it get it, and those who don't won't understand even if we tell them. Better not to say. Don't ask me why, the stakes are too high..."
Nora Tatsu and Zaina Escape glanced at each other at this point and laughed as if they had communicated a secret code.
Jonouchi: "???"
Jonouchi began to doubt whether it was his own intelligence or these two guys' intelligence that was off, why could he understand nothing?
Here, Tenma Yako actually played the legendary Divine Card "Leo Wizard", which Youyu really didn't expect. But is this thing useful?
"At this moment, the Set Card on my field has also been activated."
Tenma Yako pressed a button on his Duel Disc, gesturing at his feet, a deep green magic card had already flipped open.
"Quick-Play Magic - Inferno Reckless Summon!" Yako waved his arm, "Can activate when there is a monster on the opponent's field, and when your own monster with an Attack Power of 1500 or lower is successfully special summoned.
Special summon as many of the same name card as possible from the card deck!"
Yako pointed to his own field: "Come forth! I special summon the other two 'Leo Wizard' from the card deck!"
Two beams of golden light flew out from his card deck, transforming into two more legendary beasts "Leo Wizard" appearing in front of him.
[Leo Wizard, Attack Power 1350] x2
A few players couldn't contain themselves, each crazily taking screenshots.
"Exploded, exploded, three legendary beasts!"
"Tenma Yako is invincible, at this moment he has already gained power equal to the Creator God..."
Jonouchi continued to doubt his own intelligence...
It turns out to be "Inferno Reckless Summon", Youyu indeed did not expect this move. But he did not forget, this card also has a side effect.
"Inferno Reckless Summon, a powerful card that can instantly gather the power of three monsters on the field." Youyu smiled, "I don't know what you're planning to do, but you haven't forgotten the side effects of this card, right?"
"Ah, I know." Yako said lightly, "When I use this effect for special summoning, the opposing player can also choose one of their own monsters on the field, and special summon as many of the same name card as possible from their hand, deck, or graveyard."
Heh, Youyu thought if he wasn't knowledgeable and had seen countless cards, he might have been fooled by you.
"So I will choose my 'Magician' on the field." Youyu declared, "According to the effect of 'Inferno Reckless Summon', I special summon a second 'Magician' from the deck!"
A black magic array opened, and a second red-robed magician wielding an emerald magic staff flew out. He spun once in mid-air, and as he landed, his magic staff swept horizontally in mid-air, unleashing an invisible magic power like a blast wave from in front of him.
"And my Battle Phase hasn't ended yet." Youyu raised his hand, "Because a new 'Magician' was specially summoned during battle, so it can still attack this turn!
Go, Magician! Attack 'Leo Wizard'!"
The newly appeared Magician leapt into the air, pointing his magic staff forward, and the surging magic turned into a solid impact, roaring as it blasted down.
Tenma Yako slightly squinted his eyes, slowly raising his arm: "Calculated... Activate Set Card, Continuous Trap - Ultimate Offering!"
Tenma Yako's second Set Card flipped open, and the projected image stood on the field.
Youyu was secretly surprised.
It turned out to be the Ultimate Offering?
This card is one of the more famous Divine Cards among the early released cards, noted for its simple and crude performance and its high versatility in multiple decks, it was banned since 2014.
"Continuous Trap - Ultimate Offering, can activate its effect during my main phase, or during the opponent's battle phase." Tenma Yako explained, "I can pay 500 LP to use this trap's effect to normal summon a monster from my hand."
[Tenma Yako, LP 4000 → LP 3500]
Tenma Yako slowly drew a card from his hand, raising it high.
"I pay 500 LP, activating Ultimate Offering's effect! Using the three 'Leo Wizard' on the field as tribute..."
Three monsters as tribute!?
Youyu's heart tightened.
Could it be... an Evil God!?
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! DM manga spin-off, it's stated that Pegasus, who created the Three Egyptian God Cards, designed the Three Evil God Cards corresponding to the Egyptian Gods as a countermeasure because he feared the power he had created.
Evil Gods have divine abilities on par with Egyptian Gods, having equal rank and powerful effects, each with the terrifying ability to dominate a duel instantly.
And the master who used these three Evil Gods in the manga was Tenma Yako, Pegasus' adopted son right before Youyu!
... But fortunately, it was a false alarm, apparently not an Evil God.
Here, what Tenma Yako is summoning is his trump card other than the Evil Gods.
"I offer three monsters as tribute for a normal summon—
—Beast King Barbaros!"
With a magnificent momentum, the powerful half-human, half-beast monster made a grand entrance!
He had a mane of lion-like golden hair, a large golden beard, his upper body muscular and bare, while his lower body resembled some kind of dark beast.
He held a spiral lance and shield, descending with golden electric light spreading across the entire field. The electric current swiftly spread to Youyu's field, sweeping beneath Elemental Hero Sparkman and the two Magicians.
The three monsters groaned miserably, shattering with a boom under the ravaging electric current, an explosive smoke screen engulfed Youyu's half of the field.
In an instant, just the impact from his descent swept Youyu's entire field empty.
[Beast King Barbaros, Attack Power 3000]
"What's going on!?" The bystander Honda looked astonished, "Why did all the monsters on Youyu's side get wiped out?"
"Beast King Barbaros's special effect." Tenma Yako calmly explained, "This monster can be summoned by offering three tributes. When summoned this way, all cards on the opponent's field are destroyed."
"All cards destroyed!?" Honda expressed surprise, "That's too overpowered, isn't it?"
"No, requiring three tributes to summon is akin to summoning an Egyptian God, it's not that easy." Yugi furrowed his brow, said, "Rather, managing to gather three tributes during the opponent's turn and successfully summon like this, Tenma Yako is indeed very strong."
"That's right." Jonouchi also said, "This guy, it seems he can already manipulate his trump card monster at will, skillfully utilizing various card linkages and effects. I can feel it; this guy isn't ordinarily strong."
Actually, this is to be expected.
As the final boss of the Yu-Gi-Oh! R spin-off manga, and a potential master of the Three Evil God Cards, Tenma Yako certainly isn't an ordinary figure.
Youyu hadn't thought he could win with a half-hearted attitude from the start anyway.
"Then I'll set a card and end my turn."
