Celestial Sword

"Shining Shoot!!!"

Like a silver bullet tearing through the night, the hero wrapped in high-tech armor swooped down at high speed, and the spread wings behind him dragged two long fluorescent trails!

If this blow is completed, it would be the checkmate!

Rafael gritted his teeth but still did not give up: "Activate the Spell Card from the GY – Rescuer from the Grave!" (animation card)

Passers-by were surprised again: "Activate a Spell Card from the graveyard!?"

"This card can only be used when an opponent's monster declares an attack while this card is in my Graveyard!" Rafael said, "I can remove from play 5 cards from my Graveyard to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase!"

The image of the Spell Card appeared behind him, along with four other cards—it seemed that all of them were discarded and sent to the graveyard in the first turn.

The five cards dissipated under the golden light one after another as if an invisible shield was protecting Rafael. The Shining Flare Wingman slammed into it with an indomitable momentum, and with a "boom" explosion, the strong light and smoke exploded. However, when the light faded away, the invisible barrier still stood firm.

"Oh? There are even gravetrap?"

Do you dare to believe you will meet a gravetrap of the DM era? And it was the kind that forced the end of the Battle Phase.

Yuei Vu could feel the depth of Rafael's obsession with "Never send monsters to the GY"…

The Battle Phase ended forcibly, and the display on the Duel Disk automatically switched to the Main Phase 2. Yuei Vu thought for a while, and drew three cards from his hand: "Set three cards, I end my turn."

"Rafael can even defend against such a sure-kill blow. He is really no slouch." Yami Yugi nodded slightly with his arms folded beside him.

"Well, Yuei Vu-san didn't relax his countermeasures either. He must have his own considerations!"

Watching Yuei Vu's three set cards in the back row, Yugi Muto had an expression of "I understand best".

At this time, more and more passers-by came to watch, and the attention of this duel instantly surpassed that of the duels in all other areas in the park.

"Both of them are so strong! It's almost a final match."

"In a battle of this level, anyone who is not paying attention will be bombarded and killed, right?"

"…"

Rafael didn't care about the audience's comments at all, and just continued to focus: "My turn, draw! The first is the Spell Card – Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw two more cards.

Then I activate 'Gravity Axe – Grarl' again, and equipped it to Guardian Grarl. "

Gravity fluctuations covered the entire field, and the ax that was blown back to the hand last time fell from the sky again. The lizardman Grarl grabbed the axe, raised his head, and roared towards the sky.

[Guardian Grarl, ATK 2500 → ATK 3000]

Rafael took out a card in his hand, paused slightly, and cast a serious look at Yuei Vu.

"Yuei Vu, you are one of the strongest opponents I have ever met, there is no doubt about it." He said slowly, "Freed from the shackles of fate that bound me, now I have completed my transformation. What I need is a hearty duel to prove myself and find a new direction for my own future.

And you are the best match for it. So let me pour out everything I have now, and once again call on my most loyal partner to fight side by side! "

He inserted that card into the Duel Disk: "Activate Equip Spell – Celestial Sword – Eatos, and equip it to the 'Backup Gardna'!"

A holy light shot down from the sky, carrying a shining sword that descended from the sky and plunged into the floor.

"Then when there is 'Celestial Sword – Eatos' on my field, and there are no monsters in the graveyard…" Rafael raised a card high and raised his voice, "Once again, come to the field and fight with me! Guardian Eatos!!!"

The spirit descended from the sky and descended on the field with a goddess-like holy light. She wore a falcon-like headdress on her head, and she spread huge wings behind her, and countless white feathers scattered in the sky like snow.

The moment the wings spread out, it seemed that she dominated the field with overwhelming force in an instant!

[Guardian Eatos, ATK 2500]

"Appeared," Yami Yugi said, "Rafael's ace monster!"

Yugi Muto: "Hmm! This is the powerful monster that defeated another me!"

Yami Yugi: "…"

Rafael continued: "Then by the effect of 'Backup Gardna', I transfer the 'Celestial Sword – Eatos' from it to 'Guardian Eatos'.

With the effect of 'Celestial Sword – Eatos', Guardian Eatos' attack power increases by 300. " (animation effect)

The sword stuck on the floor suddenly popped out as if on a spring, and flew back to Eatos's hand in a whirl. Eatos swept across with the hilt of the sword lightly, and the blade rolled up an invisible whirlwind in the air.

[Guardian Eatos, ATK 2500 → ATK 2800]

"Then the effect of Guardian Eatos will be activated!" Rafael swiped his arm and shouted, "By destroying a 'Celestial Sword – Eatos' on my field, Guardian Eatos can remove from play all monster cards whose ATK is not 0 from the opponent's Graveyard, then have this card gain ATK equal to the combined ATK of the monsters removed until the end of the turn!"

The goddess held the long sword horizontally, her white and slender hands lightly slid across the sword, and the blade of the sword seemed to be covered with a layer of faint white light.

She held up the long sword in her hand, pointing the blade straight to the sky, releasing boundless suction like a magnet. Yuei Vu suddenly felt that the Duel Disk seemed to be under constant control, one card after another was absorbed from the GY area, and the souls of the heroes turned into golden beams of light and flew towards the holy sword held high by Eatos.

Among the souls that merged into the blade one after another, one could still see the "Necro Gardna" who has never appeared in this duel…

"Necro Gardna, huh? Did you discard it in the second turn?" Rafael smiled, "This card can only negate my attack once in the GY, and it is a pretty safe line of defense. As expected of the Duel King, your defense is really thoughtful.

But it's a pity that my Eatos' ability has to go one step further!

Eatos, absorb the power of all the monsters in the graveyard! "

[Guardian Eatos, ATK 2500 → ATK 10700]

The passers-by immediately exploded.

More than 10,000 attack power!

What does this mean?

It means that even if two legendary Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragons combine their forces, they can only be killed in seconds!

And not only that!

"Because all the Elemental HEROes in your GY have been removed from the game, the attack power of the 'Shining Flare Wingman' has dropped!" Rafael shouted.

[Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman, ATK 4000 → ATK 2500]

"Quick-Play Spell – Tornado!" Rafael continued, "This card can only be activated when there are 3 or more cards in the opponent's Spell & Trap Card Zone. Destroy 1 card in the opponent's Spell & Trap Card Zone."

"Choose one of the three?" Yugi Muto said, "If you can choose the key defensive card…"

Yami Yugi crossed his arms and nodded slightly: "But if it's a true duelist like Rafael, he will definitely be able to select the key card!"

Yuei Vu couldn't help being speechless after hearing this.

It has nothing to do with being a true duelist, isn't it just a matter of luck…

However, Rafael did not disappoint the game: "The one I want to destroy with the effect of 'Tornado' is… that card!"

He pointed to the set card on Yuei Vu's left.

The white tornado received the order, and immediately rushed out like a hungry wolf. The storm couldn't help but grab the set card, rolled the card high into the air, turned it over, and tore it into pieces.

At this moment, everyone clearly saw that the shredded card was a "Mirror Force".

"That's amazing!" Yugi Muto was surprised, "He actually chose the key trap all at once…"

But Rafael's operation was not over yet: "I activate 'Guardian Shield' again to equip to the 'Backup Gardna'! The equipped monster's defense power increases by 300, and when a 'Guardian' monster I control would be destroyed, the 'Guardian Shield' can be destroyed instead." (animation card)

Yuei Vu narrowed his eyes: "It's really watertight…"

"With you as the opponent, it is natural to show the best state." Rafael smiled, and then said solemnly, "Battle! Guardian Eatos, attack the 'Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman'!"

Eatos raised her sword.

That was the Celestial Sword that has absorbed the power of countless souls and was capable of cutting everything. It was reflected in the value of this card game, which was a crushing-level attack power of more than 10,000.

With a single strike, as if the sky and the earth opened up, the space itself suppressed the body of the shining hero from all directions, making him unable to move.

Even if the gods were here, it would be extremely difficult to withstand the power of this sword.

This blow was enough to determine the outcome!

However, at this moment, Yuei Vu waved his arm and shouted: "Open the set card: Trap Card – Mirror Force!"

"What!?" x10086

Seeing that the set card was opened, and the blue radiance of the sacred shield covered Yuei Vu's field, everyone was shocked.

"Could it be that the Duel King… set two copies of Mirror Force!?"

"No…not right."

Rafael found at a glance that the location where the Mirror Force was opened was exactly in the area to the left of Yuei Vu.

This was the Mirror Force that should have been blown off by him!

But obviously, this card was not destroyed by his Tornado. Instead, it seemed that the set card in the middle of Yuyu's field disappeared instead.

Yuei Vu popped out the card in the GY area and turned it over: "Trap Card – Fake Trap. When the opponent activates a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster's effect that would destroy a Trap Card I control, this card can be destroyed instead."

Rafael was stunned: "Using that card to be destroyed in place of the 'Mirror Force'!?"
