[Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] [ATK2050→4100]

"The attack power has doubled?!" Marufuji Sho's eyes widened in surprise, "And it's 4000 points higher than the 4100 points of [Cyber ​​End Dragon]!?"

"It's almost as good as the legendary [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], and Tenjouin-san has only used one card, so he still has five cards in his hand." Maeda Hayato did not miss this opportunity to gain experience, and quickly recorded the effects of the Ritual Monster in front of him, "It will definitely be useful next time!"

"The power of [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] is called 'Power of the Guardian'. In order to protect [law], he can exert an extremely powerful force."

Asuka explained, "As long as there is [Silent Prayer - Justice] on my field or in the graveyard, his attack power increases by 2050 points. And when there is [Silent Prayer - Justice] on my field and the opponent activates the effect of magic, trap, or monster, the most powerful third effect of [Silent Guardian - Guardian of Law] can be activated, which will negate the activation and destroy it!"

"The chain continues. This can only be activated when [Silent Prayer - Reason] is summoned or special summoned. From my deck, I place a [Silent] Continuous Magic/Continuous Trap Card face-up in my Magic and Trap Zone. The card I choose to place on the field is this one, the Continuous Trap Card [Silent Prayer - Reason]."

After [Silent Voice Barrier], another card was placed on Asuka's backcourt, located on the left and right sides of her magic trap area, giving people the feeling that she would start "Pendulum Summoning" at the next moment. And this set of "Red and Green Array" is naturally not just for show. Asuka immediately activated the "Red Array", which is the effect of the continuous trap card [Silent Voice Awe].

"[Silent Voice] has a card name effect that allows it to be used only once per turn. During both players' Main Phases, choose one of its two effects to activate. I chose the first effect. From my hand or graveyard, return a Warrior-type or Dragon-type Light attribute Ritual Monster or a Ritual Magic Card to my deck, and then select a [Silent Voice] monster from my deck to add to my hand or Special Summon it."

Selecting a card in front of her, Asuka said, "I return this Ritual Magic Card [Silent Prayer] from my hand to my deck, and Special Summon [Silent Dragon Sage - Origin Dragon] from my deck!"

  Holding a thick magic book in his hand, an old man with long flowing white hair and a dragon horn on his forehead appeared on Asuka's field and took a defensive stance. From the shape of his dragon horns, it was not difficult for Judai and the others to guess that, just like [Saphira, the Silent Dragon Sage] was the human form of [Saphira, the Dragon Goddess], this [Saphira, the Silent Dragon Sage] was also the human form of [Ancient Saint Dai - Shilong]!

【Dragon/Effect】

[2600/2800]

At this point, four monsters have been summoned on Asuka's field, and after some consumption, she still has four cards in her hand, including the second [Silent Dragon Hyun Ji - Saphira] and [Ancient Saint Dai - The Beginning Dragon] which can be used as a hand trap.

"Finally, I activate this card, the Magic Card [Compassionate Mechanical Angel]." After playing a Magic Card, Asuka showed the last card in her hand, "You can activate this card only by releasing a Ritual Monster [Cyber ​​Angel] in my hand. I released this [Cyber ​​Angel - Skanda-] in my hand."

"Draw two cards from my deck, then choose a card from my hand and return it to the bottom of my deck. After activating this card, I cannot Special Summon non-Ritual Monsters until the end of this turn."

Asuka drew two cards from the deck, put one back in, and said, "But rather than changing the cards, my main goal is to liberate the [Electrified Angel - Skanda-]."

"This card can only be activated when it is released. Increase the attack and defense of all Ritual Monsters on my field by 1000 points. At this moment, the only Ritual Monster on my field is [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law], and increase its attack by another 1000 points, making its attack power 5100 points!"

[Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] [ATK4100→5100]

At this point, even Manjomu in the audience opened his eyes wide, "Actually, it's 5100 points!? That's even higher than the attack power of my [Five Divine Dragons]!"

"It can perform a three-color counter attack once per turn, its attack power can be increased by 4000 points, and with the help of the back field cards, it also gains resistance against being targeted by effects." Even Jonouchi couldn't help but complain, "Although it doesn't have resistance that won't be destroyed by effects, it's a bit too similar to [Super Magic Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragoon], isn't it?"

"Although it's certainly not as easy to summon as Red-Eyes Dragoon, which supports Red-Eyes Fusion, but as a ritual monster, Guardian of the Silent Voice - Guardian of the Law doesn't have any self-restraint. If it weren't for the last card, Mechanical Angel of Mercy, it wouldn't even have a ritual monster self-restraint this turn." Yugi couldn't help but exclaim, "What a sharp card."

Rebecca, who was standing by, felt something was a little strange after hearing this: "At this time, according to your usual practice, Darling, shouldn't you be praising the duelist? Why are you only praising the card itself this time?"

"Because he's just a kid." Hayato said mysteriously, leaving Rebecca in suspense. "You'll know when you read on. Although [Silence] is a very powerful deck, the strength of the cards is not the key to winning a duel. It all depends on the user."

"I remember when I first entered school, I was one of the bystanders of the duel between you, Judai, and Manjyoumu." Without hearing the voices from the audience, Asuka looked at the [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] on her field whose attack power broke through the 5000 mark, and couldn't help but recall the past, "Judai, you fought a very beautiful and exciting duel at that time."

"But, I am different from Manjyoume. With Manjyoume! My [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] has grown to be stronger than his [Five Divine Dragons] at that time, and it also has extra resistance. Let's try to overcome this barrier that is blocking your path to victory, Judai!"

"Put two cards on the back, my turn is over!" Asuka put the two cards on the backcourt and said seriously, "Come on me from the front!"

[Silent Dragon Sage - Beginning Dragon] [DEF2800]

[Silent Prayer-Reason] [DEF2050]

  [The Proclaimer's Divine Shaman] [DEF300] [Silent Voice Barrier] [Silent Voice Aura] [Cover] X2

As Asuka declared the end of her turn, the level of [The Proclaimer's Divine Shaman] on his field also dropped back to its original level, but she didn't care about that. The main reason why she used the pass point on [The Proclaimer's Divine Shaman] was not to raise its level as a sacrifice for the ritual summon, but just to pile up the [Three Holy Rulers] in the graveyard.

The effect of that card is that it can release Angel-type monsters on Asuka's field during both parties' Main Phases to Special Summon itself from the hand or graveyard, and different effects can be applied depending on the number of monsters released. [Silent Barrier] protects the Light attribute monsters on Asuka's field from becoming the target of the opponent's effects, but it is powerless when encountering cards such as [Earth Cut] or [Earth Shatter] that do not take targets. [Three Holy Rulers] is prepared for the occasions when such cards appear.

The Angel-Type monsters on your field that are affected by the effects of cards that do not target will be released, and then Asuka can revive a high-level [Three Holy Rulers] from the Graveyard. She can even use the effect of [The Proclaimer's Divine Shaman] when it is released to Special Summon [Silent Prayer - Reason] from the deck and place a [Silent] Continuous Magic/Continuous Trap Card.

In addition, the [Silent Dragon Sage - Beginning Dragon] on her field can hide back to the hand at two speeds when the opponent's effect is activated, and then Special Summon Warrior-Type and Dragon-Type Light Ritual Monsters from the hand and deck, such as his own other form [Ancient Saint Dai - Beginning Dragon]. In addition to being used as a hand trap, it can also chain the special summon of the opponent's monster to invalidate it and banish it.

  In addition to the three-color counter of [Guardian of Silence - Guardian of Law], the other effect of the continuous trap card [Glory of Silence] that has not been used, the second effect of the ritual magic card [Prayer of Silence] in the graveyard, and the two face-down cards in her backfield, Asuka thinks that she has done everything to perfection and given it her all!

Even Judai probably couldn't do it easily.

"It's my turn, draw a card." Judai took a card from the deck and added it to his hand. He looked at the six cards in front of him and chose one of them. "Since Asuka, you used the gift from Hayato teacher, [The Proclaimer's Divine Shaman]. Then, it would be more appropriate for me to use this card as well, right?"

"Liberate the [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] and [Dragon Sage of Silent Voice - Origin Dragon] on the opponent's field, and give this powerful monster to you!" Judai laughed heartily, "Come out, [Lava Devil]!"

Even a powerful card like [Super Magic Dragoon - Red-Eyes Dragoon] can hardly avoid the fate of becoming turtle feed, let alone [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] which relies on the effects of other cards combined to achieve the effect of a low-profile "Red Daddy"?

  As the lava erupted, the card played by Judai forcibly appeared on Asuka's field, and appeared after engulfing the two superior monsters [Guardian of the Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] and [Dragon Sage of the Silent Voice - First Dragon] with lava!

(I won’t post the pictures if you are familiar with them. This time I will post the works of the artists from Station B)

[Lava God][ATK3000]

Asuka watched helplessly as her two superior monsters disappeared in an instant and turned into Magma Fiend, a monster whose mere existence had a great negative effect. She felt her blood pressure rise sharply and even clenched her fists: "You really like this card as always, Judai."

"Of course, because Magma Golem is very compatible with my Hero deck. Even Hayato-sensei strongly recommended it. After all, it's not always possible to encounter a monster with 3000 attack points in attack position in front of me." Judai said with a smile, "I have to say that even the recommendation made by Hayato-sensei five years ago was many years ahead of the times in terms of understanding Duel Monsters."

"The release of [Lava Devil] is not an effect, and it will not be chained and invalidated if it does not select a target. In this case, the effects of [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] and [Silent Voice Dragon Sage - First Dragon] cannot be activated, right? They can only be sent to the graveyard as sacrifices."

Unable to refute Judai, Asuka looked at the Magma God who was just standing in front of her and not too much locked in the cage on his chest, and nodded helplessly, but said to Judai: "But Judai, you will not be able to perform a Normal Summon during the turn when Magma God is Special Summoned."

"Besides that - it doesn't matter if you free one of us, but don't forget the existence of this [Silent Voice] on my backfield!" Asuka waved her hand, "Chain [Lava Golem] Special Summon, I will activate its effect. Both teams will choose one to activate during their Main Phases. Since I don't have any Warrior-Type or Dragon-Type Light Ritual Monsters on my field right now, I can only choose the first effect!"

"I return a Warrior-Type or Dragon-Type Light Ritual Monster or a Ritual Magic Card from my hand or graveyard to my deck, and add a [Silent] monster from my deck to my hand or Special Summon it. I choose to return this Ritual Monster [Ancient Saint Dai - First Dragon] from my hand to the deck, and then Special Summon the second [Silent Dragon Sage - First Dragon]!"

"Add a chain, activate the face-up card on my backfield, the Normal Trap Card [Front Return], target [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law], and Special Summon it in Defense Position on my field!"

[Silent Dragon Sage - Beginning Dragon] [DEF2800]

[Guardian of Silent Voice-Guardian of Law] [DEF2500]

At the cost of losing the Normal Summoning ability, the two monsters that Judai had just released and sent to the graveyard returned to Asuka's field in an instant. Although [Guardian of the Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] lost the blessing of [Cyber ​​Angel - Skanda-] and changed to defense position, because [Silent Prayer - Reason] is still on Asuka's field, it can still use the three-color counter that can be used once per round to interfere with Judai's deployment.

Asuka only lost a cover card in the backfield and a card in her hand, but there was one more [Lava Goblin] on the field than before.

"I just thought I had successfully broken your defense, but in the blink of an eye it recovered. As expected of Asuka." Judai was not disappointed. He looked at the five remaining cards in his hand and played one. "In that case, let's use the trick that Professor Chronos taught me. Activate the magic card [Pot of Greed] and draw two cards from the deck."

Seeing the restricted card Judai played, Asuka said helplessly: "Let me decide when to give up the null effect? ​​Don't forget that I have also listened to Professor Chronos's class, Judai. Although I really don't want you to gain cards, in order to prevent the monsters on my field from being wiped out by cards like [Lightning Strike], I will not chain your [Pot of Greed] to activate the effect of [Guardian of Silence - Guardian of Law]."

"——Although I said that, I'm not without other cards to activate." With a wave of her hand, Asuka pointed to the [Silent Dragon Sage - First Dragon] on her field and said, "Link [Pot of Greed] to use the second effect of [Silent Dragon Sage - First Dragon]. When the opponent activates the effect of a card, I can activate it by returning this card on the field to my hand!"

"I Special Summon a Light Attribute Ritual Monster from my hand and deck. The monster Special Summoned by this effect returns to the deck at the end of the next turn. The monster I choose is this one. Come on, [Ancient Saint Dai - First Dragon]!"

At the same time as Judai drew the card, the body of [Silent Dragon Sage - Shilong] on Asuka's field was also shrouded in light. The wide robe dissipated, revealing the dragon scales underneath, and the white hair continued to extend and turned into flowing dragon whiskers.

Shedding his mortal body and transforming into a dragon? No, he just revealed his true form. The old [Silent Dragon Sage - Shilong] showed his true form here. The blue dragon drove the clouds and mist to surround himself, and he was high in the sky overlooking the earth!
