Yu-Gi-Oh!: Ultimate Duelist

"The card I chose is - [Queen of the Universe], come out, Special Summon [Queen of the Universe] in Attack Position (ATK 2900/DEF 2450)."

As Ji Changming summoned his two ace monsters onto the stage, the audience was suddenly in an uproar. They felt incredible, as if they saw a miracle happen.

"It's actually possible to summon two high-level, high-star monsters in one round." An audience member exclaimed.

"The attack power of these two monsters is too strong. This round may really decide the outcome." Another audience member analyzed.

"Why are there cards that summon monsters from the graveyard?" someone asked in confusion.

"You're not surprised by this. It's not like we haven't seen people summoning monsters from graveyards on the Internet before." A viewer familiar with the rules responded.

"I know this, but the Internet is the Internet and reality is reality. I have never seen anyone use such cards in real life." Another audience member sighed.

"It's because this kind of card is too rare, so not many people have it." Someone explained.

"Who are the two sides in this battle? They have been able to summon powerful monsters continuously until now. On the contrary, for ordinary people like us, it is even a question whether we can summon such monsters, not to mention whether we have them." An audience member said enviously.

"Doesn't this just show how powerful they are?" Another audience member nodded in agreement.

"I have to say this humbly. The covered card on the opposite field has been covered from the beginning to now. I always feel there is something wrong." said a careful audience.

"It seems to be true, but I don't know if it's a powerful card or just for the sake of mystery." The audience nearby echoed.

……

At this time, Xu Ming sneered, "Activate the Trap Card on my field - [Spider Web]. Its effect is: Remove 1 Insect-Type monster in your Graveyard from play, select 1 monster on your opponent's field, and activate. Destroy the selected monster."

"I banish the [Vampire Flea] from the Graveyard to destroy the [Queen of the Universe] on your field."

Ji Changming breathed a sigh of relief, then said in a relaxed tone, "Oh, you're willing to use the cover card on the field?"

Xu Ming snorted coldly, "These should be the two strongest monsters in your deck. If you don't use them now, are you saving them for the New Year?"

Ji Changming laughed and said, "Yes, these are the two strongest monsters in my deck, but you used them on the wrong targets."

Xu Ming was shocked and said, "Could it be that the [Black Chaos Magician], whose attack power is even lower, has any special abilities?"

Ji Changming said: "No, these two monsters don't have any other special abilities."

Before Xu Ming could ask further, Ji Changming continued, "But the magic card I just activated - [Swing of Memories] has a huge side effect, which is - the monster special summoned by this effect is destroyed at the end phase of this turn.

"If you had just chosen [Magician of Black Chaos], my [Queen of the Universe] would also have been destroyed after this turn."

"Now, if I have no monsters on the field and no cards in hand, I'm going to lose no matter what card I draw next turn."

After hearing this, Xu Ming opened his eyes wide and said with an annoyed look, "I didn't expect the side effects of your magic card to be so severe. I hate it."

Ji Changming continued, "It's too late to say anything now. Let's enter the battle phase. I will use the [Black Chaos Magician] (Attack 2800/Defense 2600) on the field to attack the [Poseidon Rhinoceros Beetle] (Attack 2500/Defense 2300) on your field."

"With the destruction of [Poseidon's Solo] on your field, you will take 300 points of damage."

Xu Ming's health dropped to 2200 points.

Ji Changming ended this round.

Xu Ming drew a card and said cautiously, "I summon a monster face down in Defense Position, then change [Beetle Armor Knight] (ATK 1900/DEF 1500) to Defense Position, then cover a card. This ends the turn."

Ji Changming's mouth twitched: "Another card has been covered? But I won't back down."

"My turn, draw a card."

"Activate the Spell Card - [Curtain of Black Magic]. Its effect is: During the turn this card is activated, you cannot Normal Summon, Flip Summon, or Special Summon monsters other than by the effects of this card. Pay half your Life Points to activate. Special Summon 1 [Dark Magician] from your Deck."

"I pay half my health and Special Summon [Black Magician] (ATK 2500/DEF 2100) in Attack Position."

Ji Changming's health also dropped to 350 points.

Xu Ming's eyes widened, and he said with envy, "I didn't expect that there would be a card that summons powerful monsters by reducing your health points? This is truly an amazing strategy. But look at your health points now. Whether it's reduced by half or two-thirds, it doesn't seem to make much difference. After all, there's not much left, and you're always on the verge of danger."

Ji Changming had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a determination and confidence.

He said slowly, "The monsters I use are all from the Magician Clan. Magician Clan monsters are naturally closely connected to magic. They are naturally more adept at using Magic Cards than monsters from other races. The power of magic can be maximized in our hands, something that monsters from other races cannot achieve."

"Next, enter the Battle Phase. Use the [Dark Magician] on my field to attack the face-down Defense Position monster on your field."

Soon, the monster in defense position on Xu Ming's field revealed its true form - [Locust Army] (Attack 1000/Defense 500), and was then destroyed directly.

Ji Changming continued, "Use the [Black Chaos Magician] (ATK 2800/DEF 2600) on my field to attack the [Beetle Armored Knight] (ATK 1900/DEF 1500) on your field."

At this moment, Xu Ming laughed heartily and said, "Haha, you've been fooled. Activate the Trap Card - [Explosive Armor]. Its effect is: When your opponent's monster declares an attack, you can activate this card by targeting 1 attacking monster, and that attacking monster is destroyed."

"So, destroy the [Black Chaos Magician] on your field."

"Damn it, it's another trap card." Ji Changming was heartbroken as he watched the monsters on his field being destroyed. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still furious when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

Fortunately, there was still a powerful monster on the field, so he still had the advantage, and then he ended the round.
