It was a black dragon covered in jet-black steel armor, with dark red lines wrapped around its body, like surging magic power shuttling through established circuits. Its long tail of pitch-black steel slapped the floor, and every breath from its metal mouth was accompanied by dark red-black flames.
[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, ATK 2800]
And the operation of Jonouchi was not over yet.
"The effect of the Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon!" Jonouchi said, "Once per turn, I can Special Summon 1 Dragon monster from my hand or GY!
I Special Summon ‘The Black Stone of Legend'! "
A crack opened in the rock beneath the two of them, and a small black stone emerged from the ground. Its surface was wrapped with lava-like red lines, and it looked like a dragon egg that had not yet hatched.
[The Black Stone of Legend, ATK 0]
"The effect of ‘The Black Stone of Legend' is activated!" Jonouchi said, "Tribute this card; Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower ‘Red-Eyes' monster from the deck!
Come on, the trembling red eyes, the Demon King——
——Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning! ! ! "The thunder of the black stone fell, the scarlet eyes were lit up from the diffuse black mist, and the demon's body broke out of the darkness! It was a demon with eyes like a black dragon, covered in skeletal armor. The lines of the armor were like white ribs that had been disassembled and assembled into the shape of armor, and the dragon's bone wings spread out behind him.
It looked like a combination of "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" and "Summoned Skull".
[Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning, ATK 2500]
"Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning is a Gemini monster," Jonouchi said, "this card can be Normal Summoned again to gain new special effects!
I activate Spell Card – Double Summon! In this turn, I can conduct the second Normal Summon! "
"Jonouchi is so strong." Yugi on the side couldn't help but praise, "He is indeed different from what he used to be."
"Hehe." Jonouchi rubbed his nose, feeling a little proud.
Indeed, Jonouchi, who became a legendary duelist, has never relaxed at all. He must be a completely different person now than when he was in Battle City.
Yuei Vu also recognized this new Red-Eyes monster.
The destructive power of this thing was still a bit fierce. It could destroy all monsters on the opponent's field with with DEF lower than its ATK. A powerful field-clearing weapon.
The key was that Yuei Vu was playing a Monarch deck this time, and for the Monarch deck, the ATK and DEF were all fixed – the DEF of all the Monarchs was only 1000.
This was a bit bad.
But – it didn't matter!
"At this moment, I activate the effect of the ‘Ehther the Heavenly Monarch' in my hand!" Yuei Vu showed a card in his hand, "During the opponent's Main Phase, I can banish 1 ‘Monarch' Spell/Trap Card from my Graveyard; immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon this card!"
Both Yugi and Jonouchi looked surprised.
"A Monarch who can be Tribute Summoned during the opponent's turn?"
They have never heard of such a Monarch!
"I banish the Trap Card ‘The Prime Monarch' and Tribute Summon ‘Ehther the Heavenly Monarch'." Yuei Vu said, "Also, although ‘Ehther the Heavenly Monarch' is a Level 8 monster, I can Tribute Summon this card by Tributing 1 Tribute Summoned monster.
So I offered ‘Zaborg the Thunder Monarch’ as a sacrifice, Tribute Summon——
——Ehther the Heavenly Monarch! "
The brand new superior Monarch, who was wearing a long robe, bathed in divine light, holding a long golden scepter, exuding indescribable majesty.
[Ehther the Heavenly Monarch, ATK 2800]
"Tribute Summon in the opponent's turn…" Jonouchi quickly realized the problem, "The attack power of Ehther the Heavenly Monarch is 2800, which means it can defeat Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning…
…No, not just that. All monsters in the Monarch series have powerful special abilities when they are Tribute Summoned…"
"Exactly. If you realize this, Jonouchi, you have indeed become stronger." Yuei Vu smiled, "The effect of the Ehther the Heavenly Monarch!
If this card is Tribute Summoned: I can send 2 ‘Monarch' Spell/Trap Cards with different names from my hand and/or Deck to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 monster with 2400 or more ATK and 1000 DEF from my Deck! "
"2400 or more ATK, 1000 DEF… It can summon any Monarch monster?!" Yugi said, "But Monarch monsters will only get the effect if they are Tribute Summoned…"
"That's not necessarily true." Yuei Vu smiled, "It's not like there are no Monarchs who can also trigger effects by Special Summons."
"Could it be that…he is a new Monarch?" Jonouchi realized the problem.
A card had automatically flown out of Yuei Vu's deck and was held lightly by Yuei Vu in his hand.
"The shining Monarch of light comes here –
——Kuraz the Light Monarch! ! ! "
The flow of light was like an erupting waterfall. A giant with a golden body appeared from behind the curtain of light. Countless crystal-clear golden light spots scattered one after another, and the golden cloak rose and fell in the wind.
[Kuraz the Light Monarch, ATK 2400]
"Light Monarch?" Jonouchi was shocked, "But among the Monarch of six attributes… isn't the LIGHT one ‘Thunder Monarch'?"
"When Kuraz the Light Monarch is Normal or Special Summoned: I can target up to 2 cards on the field; destroy those targets!" Yuei Vu waved his hand, "I will destroy the ‘Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning' and ‘Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon'!"
The Monarch of Light erupted with a golden light curtain all over his body, and a powerful and boundless impact erupted from his fists! The impact of the two spiral beams penetrated both the Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning, and they were shattered under the irresistible flow of golden light.
"It's amazing!" Yugi couldn't help but admire, "It was obviously Jonouchi's turn, but Yuei Vu defeated his two ace monster lineup in one fell swoop…"
"However, when ‘Kuraz the Light Monarch' uses an effect to destroy a card, the controller of the destroyed card can draw 1 card for each of the cards that were destroyed by this effect." Yuei Vu said, "I destroyed two of your cards, so you can draw 2 cards."
Jonouchi remained silent and drew two cards.
Immediately after he drew the card, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to see a new direction.
"Yoshi! Then I'm going to activate this Spell Card… ‘Monster Reborn'! Resurrect ‘Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning' in my graveyard!"
The dark vortex leading to the underworld opened, and the red-eyed demon flew out. Electricity was attached to his white rib armor, and lava-like flames flowed from his red eyes.
[Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning, ATK 2500]
"I resummon ‘Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning' to obtain new effects." Jonouchi said, "Once per turn, he can destroy all face-up monsters the opponent controls with DEF lower than his ATK!”
The demon exploded with all its strength, with endless golden lightning and roaring sounds, like a galloping army of thousands of horses!
Yuei Vu snapped his fingers: "Open the set card: Trap Card – The Monarchs Awaken! Target 1 face-up Tribute Summoned monster I control; its effects are negated, also it is unaffected by the effects of cards other than this card.
I use this effect to protect the ‘Ehther the Heavenly Monarch’ from being affected by the effect of Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning! "
Kuraz the Light Monarch and the Illusory Snatcher were instantly swallowed up by the lightning. The electric currents were like small golden snakes drilling in and out of the Monarch's body, disintegrating it into dust from the outside to the inside.
"I still can't stop it…" Yuei Vu looked at the two Monarchs who were reduced to ashes in the black smoke, "It's very powerful, Jonouchi."
"Hey, of course, you have to be careful." Jonouchi said proudly, "My current strength is not just that!
I sacrifice the "Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight" on the field and Specially Summon a card from my hand!
After a long period of evolution, the Black Dragon Soul has taken on a brand-new attitude——
——Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon! ! ! "
The rock broke open in an instant, and a beam of fire shot up into the sky like an explosion of magma, with a dark dragon wrapped in it!
Red fire flowed on its body, and its long and angular tail looked like it was made of steel. The black dragon spread its wings and slowly lowered, with dark red light flashing in its eyes!
Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon was summoned!
