Chapter 910 Lacking Form, Not Focused on Intent
"Dark Magician, attack **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**!"
"Dark Magic Attack!"
Empowered by the power provided by **Dark Magician Girl**, the skilled Magician completed several magic circles while wielding his wand, drawing mystical power from the surrounding atmosphere and converting it into three energy balls, ready to fire.
"He's actually using **Dark Magician** to attack **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**? Monsters with equal ATK battling will destroy each other."
Kaiba frowned, somewhat puzzled. Although he tried to maintain an expressionless face, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. Waving a hand forward, he ordered, "Let him witness your power, **Blue-Eyes**! We'll attack back too!"
"Hyper Burst Stream!"
The blow that had previously destroyed **Dark Magician** recurred. The moment the triple light cannon spell formula drawn by **Dark Magician** was completed, **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** also timely spat out three dragon breaths. The six beams clashed precisely, and the aftermath alone caused the Deck beneath everyone's feet to tremble non-stop.
After all, whether it was **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** or **Dark Magician**, their ATK had already reached a staggering 4500 points at this moment. Even **Obelisk the Tormentor**'s normal ATK is only 4000 points; they had surpassed God!
'With both having 4500 ATK, my **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** has the advantage!' Kaiba thought with a cold laugh, looking at the two monsters on the Field engaged in a beam struggle. 'The effect of **Toughness! Invincible! Strongest!** doesn't just grant **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** immunity to being affected by effects, it also has...'
"During damage calculation when my DARK Spellcaster-Type monster, **Dark Magician**, on the Field battles an opponent's monster,"
Just as Kaiba was thinking this, Atem suddenly drew a card from his Hand, revealed it to Kaiba for a moment, and sent it to the Graveyard, saying, "By sending this **Apprentice Illusion Magician** from my Hand to the Graveyard, I activate its effect!"
Behind **Dark Magician**, who was originally evenly matched with **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**, a new magician girl appeared. Compared to **Dark Magician Girl**, this newly appeared girl's skin seemed a bit darker, a dark-skinned, red-eyed look that really appealed to a certain unnamed Duel King's tastes.
"I told you, didn't I, Kaiba? My puzzle of victory is complete!"
Atem pointed a finger at **Dark Magician** on the Field. The **Apprentice Illusion Magician** who had just appeared transferred mystical power to **Dark Magician** just like **Dark Magician Girl** had before, supporting his ongoing attack. "Because of **Apprentice Illusion Magician**'s effect, only during this damage calculation, **Dark Magician**'s ATK/DEF increase by 2000!"
**Dark Magician** [ATK 4500 → 6500]
"Bury **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**, **Dark Magician**!"
Having obtained the aid of **Apprentice Illusion Magician**'s mystical power, the energy cannons released from **Dark Magician**'s three magic circles immediately became much thicker. Even if **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** was breathing with full power, it could only see the energy convergence point gradually approaching it.
However, **Dark Magician** did not have the patience to wait for **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** to be destroyed bit by bit. Tapping his foot, the Space Transfer spell formula that opened on the Ground swallowed him, and through the spell formula's exit, he instantly transferred behind the completely undefended **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**.
Afterwards, the enhanced emerald green wand, infused with a large amount of mystical power, fiercely smashed onto the back of **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**'s head, causing the breath it was maintaining to have an instant of stagnation. And without the White Dragon Breath's obstruction, the energy cannons instantly hit the three-headed White Dragon that hadn't recovered yet!
"Boom!"
"Strength erupts like falling river tides, energy retracts like settling autumn down." Falling back onto Atem's Field, **Dark Magician** said calmly, performing a staff flourish with the staff in his Hand and putting it behind his back, quite boastfully. "A hundred kinds of magic, this is staff technique."
Atem looked at **Dark Magician** and smiled, shaking his head. His gaze turned towards **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**'s position. **Dark Magician**'s attack just now did indeed hit it, and Atem was certain that until the moment **Dark Magician**'s attack kicked up dust and enveloped Kaiba's Field, Kaiba had not activated that Trap Card in his Spell/Trap Zone.
However, he did not relax at all; instead, an inexplicable sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger.
At this moment, Kaiba suddenly spoke up, "Increasing ATK at the last moment, you truly caught me off guard. Worthy of being my opponent."
"But, wanting to destroy my **Blue-Eyes** just like that, isn't that a bit too naive, Yugi!"
As Kaiba's voice suddenly rose a notch, a pair of wide dragon wings suddenly stretched out from that patch of smoke and dust. With a stretch, they stirred up a hurricane, sweeping away the dust and revealing the unharmed **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**?!
"Impossible! It wasn't destroyed?!" Joey Wheeler, who was originally seeing Atem gain a certain advantage, directly suppressing Kaiba's **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** in the domain of "ATK" which has always been Kaiba's advantage, was already prepared to celebrate by opening champagne halfway through. But he didn't expect what he waited for was instead the reality that **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** wasn't destroyed at all.
"Clearly **Dark Magician**'s ATK should be higher after being increased a second time, why would that be?" Joey Wheeler looked again at Kaiba's **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**, confirming that its ATK had not changed because Kaiba also played any card.
**True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** [ATK 4500]
Seeing the crowd Off-field place their line of sight on his own Back Row because of Joey Wheeler's words, Kaiba said with a cold snort, "I did not activate the card in my Spell/Trap Zone. The reason **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** wasn't battle destroyed by **Dark Magician**'s attack is because of the effect of **Toughness! Invincible! Strongest!** I activated before. Besides not being influenced by other card effects besides itself, **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** also possesses resistance to not being battle destroyed!"
As everyone knows, the most useless resistance is battle destruction immunity, but the best removal method to use is battle destruction. After **Toughness! Invincible! Strongest!** granted **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** genuine full resistance, the first thing Atem thought of was to defeat the opponent using battle destruction. But he didn't expect Kaiba actually held back such a move.
The monsters on his Field in Attack Position were **Dark Magician** and **Magician of Chaos**, two monsters. Originally in Atem's plan, after **Dark Magician** broke through head-on against **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**, it would be **Magician of Chaos**'s direct attack; that 2800 ATK would be completely sufficient to clear Kaiba's Life Points.
"It cannot be battle destroyed, but Kaiba, you still need to bear the excess battle damage."
Hearing Atem's words, Kaiba gave a cold laugh, "Merely 2000 damage, fundamentally insignificant. But Yugi, the effect of **Toughness! Invincible! Strongest!** has not ended here."
"The monster battling **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** will be destroyed at the end of the Damage Step!"
"Nani!?"
Atem fundamentally had no time to make any reaction. Only to see Kaiba point a finger towards **Dark Magician**. A lightning bolt was released from **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** and fell, instantly destroying **Dark Magician**. And Kaiba also received that 2000 battle damage.
"Ugh!"
【Kaiba Seto】: 4000 → 2000 LP
【Dark Magician Girl】: [2000/1700 → 2300/1700]
"Dark Magician!" Seeing that **Dark Magician** was destroyed just like that, Atem was also powerless.
**Toughness! Invincible! Strongest!**'s effect is applied after the Damage Calculation Step ends. Cards that can be activated at this point in time can be said to be very few. Not to mention, **Toughness! Invincible! Strongest!** fundamentally had already finished being activated before. What is being applied at this moment is just its continuous effect; Atem fundamentally cannot chain to its card activation.
And Off-field, Keipei also commented upon seeing this, "Hmph hmph, it seems Atem was too eager for victory. Because he wanted to suppress his Brother who was originally evenly matched, instead, he was countered by his Brother who grabbed the opportunity."
"If it were me, I would only use **Dark Magician** to attack **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**, and then leave behind the **Apprentice Illusion Magician** that increases ATK for **Magician of Chaos** to use." Speaking logically, Keipei summarized proudly, "In addition to probing out **Toughness! Invincible! Strongest!**'s effect, I could also counter back in the next turn. The stakes would just be **Dark Magician** being destroyed."
"This is a necessary sacrifice!"
Hearing Keipei's words, Hayato also noticed the others immediately looked towards him. He said with a frown, "Hey, what are you looking at me for? Could it be that you think I taught him to be like this?"
"What else?" "Unforgivable, Bei... Hayato." "The influence on teenagers is immeasurable." "You really are something, Brother-in-law."
"Go away!" Waving his hand annoyed, Hayato looked back at the Field and said to Keipei, "You can tell just by looking that your Duel Monsters, Endou Mamoru, was just learned by watching replays. Even though you've followed Kaiba to watch Top Duelists duel so many times, you are merely lacking form and intent."
Keipei did not correct Hayato who called his name wrong again, and said somewhat strangely, "Is something wrong, Brother Hayato?"
"Duel Monsters is not just a game where you can decide the long-term result by measuring temporary gains and losses. Sometimes, a choice that seems like a loss in the moment, a True Duelist can grab this fleeting opportunity and convert it into subsequent advantage."
Hayato looked at the position where **Dark Magician** was destroyed and said meaningfully, "Watch closely, Natsuki Rei, that's how **Dark Magician** is used!"
On the Field, looking at his **Dark Magician** being destroyed, Atem suddenly said to Kaiba, "The 'Toughness' of not being influenced by other card effects, the 'Invincible' of not being battle destroyed, and the 'Strongest' of destroying the opponent's monster after battle. Kaiba, your **Blue-Eyes** is indeed very strong."
Although he didn't know what he was suddenly saying this for, it didn't hinder Kaiba from receiving the opponent's praise. After all, the person opposite him was not those other third-rate Duelists with fourth-rate Decks, but "Yugi", the opponent he must defeat, whom he regards as his destiny!
"Hmph, I don't need your acknowledgement. Because **Blue-Eyes** is inherently the strongest, invincible, perfect card in the world!"
"That's right, **Blue-Eyes** is too strong." Atem smiled, glanced at the last card in his Hand, and played it. "But, **Dark Magician** will not lose to your **Blue-Eyes**. His sacrifice will pioneer the Future for me!"
"My Battle Phase ends. Then I activate Spell Card **Soul Servant**. From my Hand, Deck, or Graveyard, select any one card that is 'Dark Magician', or 1 card that lists 'Dark Magician' or 'Dark Magician Girl' in its text, except **Soul Servant**, and place it on the Top of Deck."
"Then I activate the effect of **Soul Servant** in the Graveyard. By banishing it from the Graveyard, I draw cards from the Top of Deck equal to the number of 'Dark Magician' and 'Dark Magician Girl' on Both Fields and Graveyards."
Searching one card from the Deck and placing it on the Top of Deck, Atem then used the effect to draw it along with another card, replenishing his Hand. Looking at **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** on Kaiba's Field, Atem thought for a moment and immediately had an idea.
"I activate Spell Card **Dark Magical Circle**. As this card's activation resolves, I confirm the Top 3 Cards of my Deck. If among them there is a Spell/Trap Card that lists 'Dark Magician' in its text, or 'Dark Magician' itself, I reveal that card to the opponent and add it to my Hand. The remaining cards are returned in any order."
Although it is said to be a confirmation, actually, the three cards on top of the Deck plus the other card he drew into his Hand were exactly the cards returned before by **Dimensional Conjurer**'s effect. He couldn't be clearer about what cards he himself returned. He directly took out one of them and showed it to Kaiba, saying:
"I add **Eternal Soul** to my Hand."
Although he only revealed it for a moment, when Kaiba glimpsed the card art of the card Atem revealed, he raised an eyebrow and subconsciously glanced towards the card in his own Spell/Trap Zone, revealing an expression of interest.
Glancing at the cards in his own Hand, Atem yet without hesitation set two of them, only leaving the last card in his Hand. "I set two cards. My Turn ends."
【Atem】: 4000 LP, Hand: 1
Magician of Chaos: [ATK 2800]
【Dark Magician Girl】: [DEF 1700]
Magician's Rod: [DEF 100]
Dark Magical Circle: [Set Card] [Set Card]
"My Turn, draw." Drew a card from the Deck, Kaiba had a cold and arrogant expression, looking at the monsters on Atem's Field and saying, "It seems it's already ended, Yugi. You couldn't resolve **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** in the last turn, it's already impossible to defeat me!"
"Sore wa dou kana?" Hearing Kaiba's words, Atem just smiled. "**True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** with the blessing of **Toughness! Invincible! Strongest!** is an almost invincible monster, Kaiba. I agree with this point as well. From her, I saw the same quality as you, making the radiance radiate in an instant to its fullest."
"This is the advantage your **Blue-Eyes** is proud of, but it is the biggest flaw. Because unlike other cards, the time **Toughness! Invincible! Strongest!** can grant protection for the instantaneous shine is really too short! In the instant my Turn ends and your Turn arrives, the resistance on its body has already disappeared!"
"Flip face-up Set Card, Continuous Trap Card **Eternal Soul**! Special Summon **Dark Magician** from my Graveyard! Then because of **Dark Magical Circle**'s effect, if I Summon/Special Summon **Dark Magician**, I activate by targeting the **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon** on your Field, banish it!"
"Dark Magician, attack **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**!"
"Dark Magic Attack!"
Empowered by the power provided by **Dark Magician Girl**, the skilled Magician completed several magic circles while wielding his wand, drawing mystical power from the surrounding atmosphere and converting it into three energy balls, ready to fire.
"He's actually using **Dark Magician** to attack **True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**? Monsters with equal ATK battling will destroy each other."
