"The most powerful demon in history… you really dare to say that."
But Yuei Vu wasn't careless at all.
Cerulean Skyfire was obviously one of the support cards exclusive to the three Sacred Beasts – those ancient stone tablets that sealed their power.
The power of these supporting cards should not be underestimated. They could directly increase the strength of the three Sacred Beasts by a large margin, so there was no room for carelessness.
"My turn, draw!" Yuei Vu said, "Spell Card ‘Graceful Charity'! Draw 3 cards, then discard 2 cards.
Then I summoned the ‘Keeper of Dragon Magic’ in defense position! "
The knight in armor heroically appeared on the stage, with his spear sweeping and his cloak flying.
[Keeper of Dragon Magic, DEF 1300]
"Keeper of Dragon Magic's effect is activated." Yuei Vu said, "If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: I can discard 1 card; add 1 ‘Polymerization' Normal Spell Card or ‘Fusion' Normal Spell Card from my Deck to my hand."
The card automatically popped out from the bottom of the deck, and he pulled it out into his hand."I added the Spell Card ‘Spiral Fusion' to my hand." Yuei Vu said, playing the card directly, "Activate the Spell Card ‘Spiral Fusion'!"
Kagemaru narrowed his eyes: "Spiral Fusion? Is it Gaia's special fusion card?"
Spiral Fusion, a special fusion card for "Gaia the Dragon Champion". The attack power of Gaia the Dragon Champion summoned by this card would be increased by 2600 – that is, it had a super high attack power of up to 5200, and could even attack monsters twice in one turn. An outbreak of terror!
"Found a way to conquer Hamon in an instant? Look like you are the first-generation Duel King after all." Kagemaru said, "But it's no use! Now I'll let you see part of the true power of Sacred Beast!"
He waved his hand.
"The effect of the Continuous Spell ‘Cerulean Skyfire' is activated!" Kagemaru shouted, "Once per turn, while I control an Attack Position ‘Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder', I can negate any Spell/Trap effect activated by the opponent! "
The Lord of Striking Thunder roared in a deep voice, and the rolling thunder sounded like a trial. The blue electric light shined outside the broken dome of the building, cutting the sky into two halves, shooting straight down, and splitting the "Spiral Fusion" into ashes!
Kagemaru was right, this was the true power of Hamon.
The ability to negate card effects is the most powerful effect in the entire game system. It was an ability that even the Three Egyptian Gods (animation effects) did not have!
Although there was no support card like "Cerulean Skyfire" in the animation, Yuei Vu could understand that these cards should originally be part of the Sacred Beast's own power and could be seen as an extension of their own effects.
Even when Yuei Vu faced Hamon in this state, he couldn't help but feel real pressure.
"Hamon is the Sacred Beast who is proficient in Spells among the three Sacred Beasts." Kagemaru sneered, "Spells will not work in front of him."
After a pause, he added: "However, after using the effect of ‘Cerulean Skyfire', ‘Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder' will change to Defense Position."
[Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, ATK 4000 → DEF 4000]
According to Kagemaru's explanation in the anime, the three Sacred Beasts had resistance similar to that of Egyptian Gods. Like Egyptian Gods, they were unaffected by trap card effects, and only "Spell Cards activated this round" were effective against Sacred Beasts.
Of course, it was the same as the three Egyptian Gods. These resistances were not written on the card and were equivalent to the default common characteristics of god-level monsters.
However, Yuei Vu speculated that the resistance of Sacred Beast, which was "unaffected by trap effects and only accepts Spell Cards activated this round", should not conflict with the magic traps supported by the three of them.
After all, these support cards were originally equivalent to the extension of the Sacred Beast's own effects and were part of their power. If they did not accept the influence of these effects, wouldn't it be equivalent to negating themselves?
So Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder still had to accept the "switching into the Defense Position" effect of "Cerulean Skyfire"…
Therefore, the resistance of the three Sacred Beasts should not include their series of support cards by visual inspection.
The first move didn't work, but Yuei Vu's turn continued.
"Then the second effect of ‘Keeper of Dragon Magic' is activated." Yuei Vu said, "Once per turn, I can reveal 1 Fusion Monster in my Extra Deck; Special Summon 1 of the Fusion Materials mentioned on that monster from my GY in face-down Defense Position."
He revealed a Fusion Monster.
"I reveal the ‘Dark Cavalry' and special summon the ‘Dark Magician' in the graveyard as a fusion material in the face-down defense position!"
The complex magic circle flickered briefly, and the black-robed mage flew out, spinning lightly, and landed on the field, turning into a covered card.
Kagemaru's expression remained unchanged: "Is it Dark Magician this time? A mage known as a top magician is indeed a very powerful monster. But in front of the power of the Sacred Beast…"
Before he finished speaking, Yuei Vu continued: "Quick-Play Spell – Dedication through Light and Darkness! Tribute 1 ‘Dark Magician', Special Summon 1 ‘Dark Magician of Chaos' from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard!
The Dark Magician evolved into the ultimate mage that transcends time and space in the chaos——
——Dark Magician of Chaos! "
The whirlpool of black magic engulfed the black-robed mage, and the torrent of magic turned into a whirlpool. The mage in black attire seemed to have arrived from the other side of time and space!
[Dark Magician of Chaos, ATK 2800]
"The effect of Dark Magician of Chaos is to add a Spell Card from my graveyard to my hand when summoned." (old version effect)
A card popped up in the Duel Disk's tomb area, and was drawn out by Yuei Vu and returned to his hand.
"I take the Spell Card ‘Spiral Fusion' back into my hand!"
Kagemaru's expression changed slightly.
How could he recover the Spell revoked by Hamon so easily?
"Spell Card ‘Spiral Fusion'!" Yuei Vu took back the card in his hand and inserted it into the Duel Disk again, "I fuse the ‘Curse of Dragonfire' and ‘Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight' in the hand!
Fusion Summon!——
——Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion! ! ! "
With the fusion of knight and dragon, an unparalleled powerful existence emerged from the vortex of fusion. A storm of energy erupted, and the Dark Knight rode a golden dragon with distinct skeletons, diving down from high altitude like a bomber!
[Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion, ATK 2600]
"The name of ‘Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion' can be treated as ‘Gaia the Dragon Champion'." Yuei Vu said, "So according to the effect of ‘Spiral Fusion', his attack power increases by 2600!"
[Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion, ATK 2600 → ATK 5200]
"Then there is the effect of ‘Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion'." Yuei Vu shouted, "If this card is Special Summoned, add 1 ‘Spiral Spear Strike' from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand."
Yuei Vu picked out the Spell Card that popped up from the deck with his fingers and quickly shuffled the deck. He displayed the card briefly, then quickly inserted it into the Duel Disk.
"The Continuous Spell ‘Spiral Spear Strike' is activated!"
Yuei Vu waved his hand, and a green Spell Card appeared in front of him.
The magic effect was activated, and the power of the knight poured into the Dark Knight's body. The spear in Gaia's hand swept across, the tip of the spear pointed diagonally at the ground, and the transparent airwaves were like invisible waves.
"When ‘Spiral Spear Strike' exists on the field, if a ‘Gaia The Fierce Knight', ‘Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight', or ‘Gaia the Dragon Champion' on my field attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to the opponent!"
To put it simply, it was a support spell dedicated to "Gaia". It could enchant the knight's spear of various forms of "Gaia" to gain the ability to penetrate the defense.
In just one turn, Keeper of Dragon Magic, Dark Magician of Chaos, and Gaia the Dragon Champion with an attack power of 5200 and piercing ability have been summoned on Yuei Vu's field. The lineup was luxurious enough to make most duelists lose their fighting spirit!
Even Kagemaru's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
"Duel King Yuei Vu… Sure enough, I still underestimated you a little?"
