Chapter 297 The Fate of the Legendary Dragon, [The Combined Demonic Dragon Timaeus] (Combined Chapter)
"Entering Main Phase Two!"
Kagura sends a card into the Duel Disk: "I activate the effect of [Resurrect Kuriboh] in my hand! At the end of both players' Battle Phases, discard this card from your hand and Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard that was destroyed by battle this turn!"
"Rise again! [Magic Valkyrie]!"
A magician girl who bears a striking resemblance to the "Black Magician Girl" appears in the game, holding a long staff and poised to unleash her power.
[Valkyrie Magician, Attack Power 1600]
Kagura held up a card in her hand and inserted it into the Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card, [Thousand Blades]!"
"This card can only be activated while [Dark Magician] is on the field. Destroy one monster you control!"
'
"I will destroy your [Mirror Knight Summon]!"
Countless throwing knives appeared from mid-air, piercing the main body of the hexagonal crystal pillar and shattering it into glass shards.
"In that case, your shield can't regenerate!"
Dartz chuckled lightly: "Heh, so you've found a way to deal with this, haven't you?"
"My turn isn't over yet!"
Kagura then placed a card on the Duel Disk: "I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn yet, so I Normal Summon [Magic Knight: Defender]!"
A knight appeared, wielding a shield taller than a person and holding a pitifully small short sword in his other hand, wearing magical armor. In the center of the shield was a magical indicator light.
[Magic Knight: Defender, Level 4, Light Attribute, Mage Type, ATK 1600, Effect Monster.]
When the [Magic Knight: Defender] is successfully summoned, a magic counter can be placed on this monster!
[Magic Knight: Defender, Counter 0→1]
"Ha, so you've got the stance in the air? But this round is over! No matter how clever the setup, it's useless now!"
Kagura chuckled, "That's not necessarily true!"
"Isn't there one more card that can let me continue this turn?"
Dartz curled his lips into a cold smile: "There is indeed such a card, but unfortunately, it's in my... graveyard..."
As Darzelle uttered the last two words, she vaguely realized something: "Wait, you don't mean you're going to...?"
'
Kagura smiled gently: "There's nothing I can do. That's just how I am. I have nothing, not even a wife. I can only use other people's."
"Spell Card! [Spider Silk] (Original Card)! Add one Spell Card from your opponent's Graveyard that was used in the previous turn to your hand!"
"I have added the Spell Card 'Ambush in the Dark' (original card) from your Graveyard to my hand."
The cards in Dartz's graveyard popped out on their own, drawn by an unseen force, and came into Kagura's hand.
Dartz: ————
Although it was just an ordinary card, hearing Kagura's outrageous remarks about borrowing someone else's wife, Dartz inexplicably felt a sense of shame and anger, as if he had been cuckolded.
That bastard—no, calm down, he's the villain, I need to be elegant.
Kagura held up the card and inserted it into the Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card, 'Ambush in the Dark' (Original Card)!"
"This card allows me to enter the battle phase again!"
Kagura did not immediately declare an attack; he was still unprepared.
He drew one of his three cards and inserted it into the Duel Disk: "Continuous Spell, [Treasure Card of Lamentation] (Original Card) activated!"
"If your monster attacks but fails to destroy your opponent's monster, you can draw 1 card!"
This card was used when ZONE beat him up before. Later, Kagura remembered that the president had also used it, so she got one from Kaiba Corporation.
"Entering the battle phase once again!"
Kagura waved her hand: "[Magic Knight: Defender], attack the first [Mirror Knight Derivative]!"
Dartz: "[Mirror Knight Derivative] When attacking an opponent while holding a shield marker, its attack power becomes the same as the opponent's!"
[Mirror Knight derivative, attack power 500 → 1600]
The knight with the shield charged forward. His short sword couldn't reach his opponent, so he simply smashed the shield with his own. The Mirror Knight slashed with his sword but couldn't budge the shield. He could only raise his shield as well to block the impact.
Dartz sneered, "I'll remove a shield marker, granting immunity to damage in this battle!"
The mirrored shield in the Mirror Knight's hand shattered with a crack.
Kagura continued, "Then I'll activate the effect of [Magic Knight: Defender]. Once per turn, when a Spellcaster monster on the field is destroyed! Remove the same number of Spell Counters from this card instead!"
The magic indicator light on the giant shield knight's shield went out, both monsters were destroyed, and they were at peace.
Kagura placed her finger on the Duel Disk: "When I activate the effect of 'Lamenting Treasure Card,' and my attack declaration fails to destroy my opponent's monster by battle, I draw one card from my Deck!"
As soon as Kagura placed her finger on the deck, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
This card seems to have a faint warmth to it; it's not a card of the gods, but something strange.
Kagura's mind raced, and she pulled out the card. Dartz's brow twitched suddenly; he vaguely sensed the presence of a mortal enemy.
Kagura flipped the card over in front of her, revealing a giant dragon that looked somewhat like a green lizard, roaring angrily.
【O hero from another world—may I, the legendary dragon Timaeus, lend you my strength!】
Kagura: ?
It turns out the legendary dragon himself stepped in to help with the cheat? Sorry about that.
Perhaps seeing how hard it was working to beat Daz, the old dog felt embarrassed and pretended not to see, so it specially diverted some of its strength from Wang Yang to help.
At the same time, Wang Yang and his group, who were rushing towards the large corporation controlled by Doma not far away, changed their expressions. He, Kaiba, and Jonouchi simultaneously took out three Legendary Dragon cards, and the three cards flashed, seemingly responding to something.
"Timaeus, what exactly are you trying to tell me?"
Wang Yang looked at the legendary dragon that flashed the brightest in his hand, his tone somewhat bewildered.
Kagura looked at the card in her hand and realized it was a quick-play spell, the latest enhancement card for the Dark Magic deck, "Timaeus's Eye".
Kagura: ————
Is that the so-called most humorous reinforcement that successfully made the Dark Magician component in the Dark Magician deck increasingly less pure?
You might as well not have come at all.
Oh well, something is better than nothing.
"My battle isn't over yet!"
Kagura inserted the card into the Duel Disk and continued to command: "[Magic Valkyrie], attack the first [Mirror Knight Token]!"
The magician girl raised her small staff and swung it at the knight's helmet, denting it and turning it into a pile of light spots.
Dartz: "Because Orichalcos Kitara is present, all damage from monster battles is reduced to i0."
'
The blue-green, spiky chestnut with its big, open eyes emitted an absorptive light wave, drawing all the impact into its body.
"Hehehe, as long as this card is here, you can't harm me!"
Darz remained outwardly calm, but tears streamed down her face.
Finally, finally it caused damage! Damn it, does this bastard even know the true effects of [Orichalcos Chidara]?
Kagura ignored her and continued, "[Dark Magician], attack the second [Mirror Knight Derivative]!"
The Dark Magician raised his magic wand, and a burst of dark, lightning-like magic shot towards the Mirror Knight Derivative.
Dartz: "Attack power is now the same!"
[Mirror Knight derivative, Attack Power 500 → Attack Power 2500]
Kagura's graveyard immediately pops up a card: "At this moment, I activate the effect of [Sacrifice Kuriboh] in my graveyard. When one of my monsters is destroyed by battle, I banish this card from my graveyard instead."
Curry, Curry!
A somewhat shy, mechanically-like chestnut ball covered its face and went to another dimension.
Dartz: "Then I'll remove a shield marker instead of destroying it!"
The two monsters were at peace again. Kagura placed her finger on the Duel Disk: "It's still the effect of [Lamentation Card]: Draw one card from your Deck!"
Kagura pulled out the card, glanced at it, and thought, "Tsk, it's the Pot of Greed."
Why did they have to come now? They're useless during the battle phase.
Kagura added the card to her hand and continued, "My turn isn't over yet. At this very moment, I unleash a quick-play spell from my hand! [Baptism of Light and Darkness]!"
"Tribute 1 [Dark Magician] from your field, then Special Summon 1 [Chaos Dark Magician] from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard!"
The figure of the "Black Magician" vanished in specks of light, leaving behind a figure dressed in a black bodysuit, and...
A magician who looks seven-tenths like the real thing appears from among them.
[Chaos Dark Magician, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Mage Race, ATK 2800, Effect Monster.]
"When the [Chaos Dark Magician] is successfully Summoned or Special Summoned, add one Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand! (Old effect)"
"I add the [Survival Treasure] from the graveyard to my hand."
The card pops out of the graveyard, and Kagura adds it to her hand.
Dartz looked at the monster and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "The effect of this monster is—"
Kagura snapped her fingers: "That's right!! [Chaos Dark Magician] can banish monsters destroyed by battle from this card!"
"【Chaos Dark Magician】! Attack 【Orichalcos Chikas】!"
The magician, adorned with red clasps, swooped down towards the brown giant, but Dartz sneered, "Ha, did you think I wouldn't be prepared for this?"
Dartz taps the Duel Disk, revealing the only face-down card: "Trap Card, [Destructive Healing]!"
"Target 1 monster you control; destroy that monster, and you gain Life Points equal to the destroyed monster's ATK!"
"I will destroy [Orichalcos Chikas]!"
The brown giant let out a painful howl, followed by a crackling sound of electricity, and then exploded with a loud bang.
【DAZ, LP7000→LP9400】
"Hmph, rise again in even greater glory! [Orichalcos Chigas]!"
The brown giant, panting heavily, revived, its attack power increasing once again.
[Orichalcos Chikas, Attack Power 2400 → Attack Power 2900]
"Then comes the effect of [Survival's Treasure]: Draw three cards from your deck!"
Dartz added three more cards to his hand and chuckled at Kagura: "Now [Kijas]'s attack power surpasses your [Chaos Dark Magician]. What are you going to do now?"
Kagura clicked her tongue, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Attack rewind! [Chaos Black Magician] attacks the third Mirror Knight!"
Dartz chuckled: "Attack power is now the same!"
[Mirror Knight derivative, Attack Power 500 → Attack Power 2800]
The two monsters collided, and Kagura coldly watched as the [Chaos Black Magician] turned into specks of light and dissipated.
At the same time, Dartz's third [Mirror Knight Derivative]'s shield also shattered.
Kagura placed her finger on the Duel Disk: "It's still the effect of [Lamentation Card]: When our monster declares an attack but fails to destroy the opponent's monster, draw one card from your Deck!"
Dartz: "I see, so you're betting everything on this gacha pull?"
Kagura pulled out the card, looked at it, and a smile appeared on her lips.
In that case, the sacrifice of the [Chaos Black Magician] wasn't in vain.
He placed the card in his hand, raised another card, and continued: "Next, I activate a Quick-Play Spell! [Timaeus's Eye]!"
A surge of legendary power emanated, and the figure of a giant green dragon appeared behind Kagura, its gaze fixed on Dartz, letting out an angry roar.
Dartz's Orichalcos barrier began to tremble, as if it had encountered some kind of natural enemy.
Dartz stumbled back two steps in shock, looking at his old rival from ten thousand years ago: "How is this possible? The legendary dragon Timaeus! How could you possibly wield his power?!"
Kagura chuckled: "Heh, perhaps they came here specifically to help me, the enemy of my enemy, because they saw me righteously attacking you."
Dartz felt it was absurd. Logically, the power of the legendary dragon should only be lent to those with pure hearts and a sense of justice, but Kagura Kiryu—
When Dartz thought about how this guy had usurped power, indiscriminately killed innocent people, and stolen children's cards, he felt that reality was extremely absurd. This feeling even briefly surpassed the surprise of seeing the legendary dragon.
Could it be that—the legendary dragon, in these ten thousand years, has also abandoned its principles and become as shameless as I am?
Kagura, not delving into Dartz's inner thoughts, continued, "The effect of 'Timaeus's Eye' is to return 1 'Dark Magician' or 'Dark Magician Girl' from your field or Graveyard to your Deck as Fusion Material, and then Fusion Summon one Fusion Monster with that card's name listed as its name using the effect of 'Timaeus's Eye'!"
"I return the [Dark Magician] from my graveyard to my deck and Fusion Summon it!"
"Come forth! The latest form of the legendary dragon combined with black magic!"
A brand new card flew out of Kagura's deck; it looked freshly printed and still warm.
"The fusion condition is either a [Dark Magician] or a [Dark Magician Girl] + a Dragon/Mage type monster!"
"Descend! Level 10! [Merged Dragon Timaeus]!"
The green lizard dragon roared, donning brand-new armor that was jet black with faint red edges, exuding an aura of dominance tinged with darkness.
【Fusion Dragon Timaeus, Level 10, Light Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2800, Fusion Monster.】
