Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1484 Angel of Light

[Light Angel Staff, Defense 400]

"The effect of 'Light Angel's Staff' is activated!" Drub said. "The effect of 'Staff' is that when this card is successfully summoned, you can add one 'Light Angel' monster other than 'Light Angel's Staff' from your deck to your hand."

Drube's deck performed an automatic search, and a card emitting a golden light popped out and was drawn into his hand.

"I added 'Light Angel - Throne' to my hand from my deck."

After revealing the monster he had searched for, Drubey added it to his hand, then swung his hand to set a backseat card.

"Set one card face down, and the turn ends."

Yu Gen: "A monster with only 400 defense points actually went into battle in defense position. They're really being cautious."

Druby remained silent, only cautiously observing him.

This choice isn't surprising, or rather, it aligns more with reality. In the anime, the character only has 4000 health points, practically paper-thin. From a real-life card perspective, such low health makes them vulnerable to OTK (One-Turn Kill) attacks.

Therefore, even if you summon a high-level monster in the first turn, it's safer to use it in defense position. It's more like how Jaden used to occasionally start by summoning Winged Beast in attack position and then passing without any backrow monsters – that's truly impressive.

“My turn, draw a card,” You Xuan said. “I will activate the quick-play spell ‘Hand Card Destroyer’ from my hand. Both players will discard two cards from their hands and then draw two cards from their decks.”

Druby silently discarded two cards from his hand into the graveyard, then drew two cards. Yu Xuan did the same.

"Then activate the effect of the Quick-Play Spell 'Silence Magic Blast' that was just discarded from the graveyard!" Yu Xuan said. "Silence Magic Blast from the graveyard is banished from the game, allowing you to add a 'Silence Magician' monster from your deck to your hand."

The image of a magic card appeared above his head, flashing past before quickly dissipating. But the dissipated light gathered in You Xuan's hand, transforming into a new card.

Yu Xuan briefly showed the card: "I added 'True Silent Magician' to my hand."

Drube: "Silent Magician, a Spellcaster deck?"

"A magician? No, no, no, this is the king's deck." You Xuan smiled.

Druby frowned, not understanding what he meant. But You Xuan had no intention of explaining.

"Then, you can usually summon the 'Black Forest Witch'!"

It's a classic old monster, a long-standing monster in both the Yu-Gi-Oh! series and Yu-Gi-Oh!.

The purple-haired witch appeared on the field, her eyes gently closed, her fingers clasped together as if in prayer. Her long hair flowed freely, and her slender, petite body was wrapped in a large black robe.

"The 'True Silent Magician' in your hand cannot be Normal Summoned; it can only be Special Summoned by Tributing Spellcaster monsters on your field."

Yu Xuan picked up the monster card that had just been placed on the Duel Disk.

"I'm freeing the 'Black Forest Witch' from the field!"
The silent wings that carry hope, the magician of light, appear here—

—A true silent magician!

The witch disintegrated and vanished into specks of light, the scattered particles reforming. With flowing silver hair and a face seemingly veiled in frost, her shapely legs were faintly visible beneath her blue and white robes. The magician descended slowly like a fairy.

[True Silent Magician, Attack Power 1000]

"The Silent Magician." Drubey sensed the elf's extraordinary nature as well. "Is this your trump card?"

"That's it."

You Xuan smiled. "But that's not all. Following what was just sent to the cemetery, the Black Forest Witch's effect also activated."

Sending the Black Forest Witch to the Graveyard allows you to add monsters with 1500 or less DEF from your Deck to your hand.

The witch who had already left the stage reappeared on Youxuan's field. This time, her figure was transparent like a ghost, but her face remained as calm as before. However, her red lips were slightly parted, as if she were softly chanting a spell.

“I’m adding this card from my deck,” Yu Xuan said, “to my hand: ‘Tricolor Gadgets’ with 1100 defense.”

You Xuan showed off the three-colored parts and then added them to his hand.

That is one of the key starting points that can connect to the Light of the Golden Cabinet deck.

Yu Xuan added the small part to his hand and said, "Also, the monster effect of 'True Silent Magician' increases this card's attack by 500 points based on the number of cards in my hand."

As he spoke, he waved his cards, and each card in his hand seemed to glow with a soft white light, which transformed into energy and flowed into the body of the Silent Magician on the field.

"I now have 5 cards in my hand, therefore the Silent Magician's attack power increases by 2500."

[True Silent Magician, Attack Power 1000 → Attack Power 3500]

Drube: "Three thousand five hundred attack power in the first round!?"

You Xuan said, "True Silent Magician, attack 'Light Angel Staff'!"

The Silent Magician raised her staff, and white light converged on its tip from all directions, creating waves that ruffled her robes. A torrent of incandescent light poured forth, striking the Celestial Staff head-on.

The central sphere of the Staff of Heaven began to crack from the point of impact, and cracks quickly spread all over its body. White light shot out from all the cracks until the entire Staff of Heaven exploded into fragments.

"It seems that choosing the defensive stance for the Heavenly Staff was a wise decision," You Xuan chuckled. "Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of damage."

The Light Angel Staff has an attack power of 1800, and although its defense power is only 400, if it is summoned by Drube in attack position, it will suffer a massive 1700 damage in the first round.

"Activate the face-down card!" Drubey exclaimed. "Trap Card 'Time Machine'!"

A thick purple mist filled the arena, and when it dissipated, a heavy black metal object emerged. The gate opened, and the energy released from it was like time reversing. The Staff of the Light, which had been shattered into pieces, was sucked back into it and pieced together like a rewind, restoring it to its original state in a moment.

[Light Angel Staff, Defense 400]

"Time Machine allows monsters destroyed in battle to be Special Summoned back to the field in their original battle position," Drubey said. "And at that moment, the effect of Archangel's Staff also activates again!"

When the Light Angel Staff is successfully Normal or Special Summoned, you can add one 'Light Angel' monster from your Deck to your hand.

Drubel then drew another card that had been automatically retrieved from the deck and displayed it.

"I've added 'Radiant Angel Libra' to my hand from my deck!"

"I see. This face-down card isn't just for defense; it can also trigger a search effect again, expanding the advantage," You Xuan said.

“It’s not over yet,” Drube said. “Also, the effect of ‘Light Angel - Throne,’ which was retrieved from my hand last turn, has also activated!”

If you successfully Normal or Special Summon a 'Radiant Angel' monster, you can Special Summon Radiant Angel from your hand!

Come, 'Light Angel Throne'!
