Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1605 Eternal Fire
Guardian Grall, summon!
Grall looks like a mutated giant lizard, standing upright with muscles as solid as rock, its upper body wrapped in iron chains, and its powerful jaws seem capable of crushing any obstacle.

[Guardian - Grall, Attack Power 2500]

"Then activate the effect of 'Support Guardian'!" Rafael spread his five fingers and slashed out with his palm again. "Support Guardian can transfer the Equip Card equipped to itself to any target monster on the field that meets the correct Equip conditions."

Therefore, I transferred the equipment magic 'Gravity Axe - Grail' from 'Support Guardian' to 'Guardian Grail'!

The heavy gravity battle axe flew out of the blue-green demon's hand and, as if drawn by gravity, automatically came into the hand of the guardian, Grall.

Grasping the gravity battle axe, Gras was instantly at ease. The chains binding his upper body rattled and danced, automatically winding up his arms and wrapping around the axe handle. With each swing of the axe blade, Gras's strength surged.

[Guardian - Grall, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 3000]

This is Rafiru's usual tactic. First, summon backup guardians and equip them.

Each Equip Spell in his Guardian Deck corresponds to a Guardian Monster. When the Equip Spell is on the field, the corresponding Guardian can be Special Summoned. Then, through the effect of "Support Guardian," the Equip Spell can be transferred to the newly summoned Guardian to unleash its maximum power.

This is the basic idea behind Rafael's Guardian deck.

"A monster with an attack power of three thousand right off the bat, that's pretty impressive," You Xuan said with a smile.

Rafael: "Let's fight! Use Guardian Grall to attack the monsters covering the inside!"

Grall stepped forward, leaping into the air. His battle axe cleaved through the air, the monster flipping to reveal a yellow-clad diver. The axe cleaved the diver in two, the oxygen tank behind him sliced ​​in two by the powerful blade.

[Deep-sea diver, defense 1100]

“The effect of Deep Sea Diver is activated,” Yu Xuan said. “When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, at the end of this Battle Phase, I can select one monster from my Deck and place it on top of my Deck.”

Yu Xuan's deck performed an automatic search, a monster card popped out, and he drew it into his hand.

"I'm placing this card on top of my deck—Infernal Demon!"

After showing it, he put the card back on top of the deck.

Rafael could never have heard of "Infernal Flame," nor did he know he was facing a world champion deck that transcended generations. But for a duelist like him, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

"Two cards are face down, the turn is over," Rafiru said.

"My turn then."

When it was You Xuan's turn again, he pointed to the perpetual spell "Guardian's Talisman" on the field.

"The effect of the Guardian's Treasure Card is that I can draw two cards from my deck during each draw phase."

You Xuan drew two cards in one go.

And naturally, both sides knew that the card at the top of the deck was the one he had just put back into the deck last turn.

The moment he drew the card, one of the two cards in You Xuan's hand lit up with a golden light. He flipped his hand and showed the card.

"When you draw 'Infernal Demon' from your hand with zero cards in your hand, you can Special Summon it directly."

"I Special Summon 'Infernal Demon'!" A dark vortex opened in the sky, and a domineering demon slowly descended from the darkness.

[Eternal Flame Demon, Attack Power 1800]

"The effect of Infernal Fiend: When this card is Special Summoned, you can add one card with 'Infernal' in its name from your Deck to your hand." (Animation effect)

The physical card also had a restriction: "This effect can only be processed when you have 0 cards in your hand." However, the anime did not have this condition; it only limited it to "You can only Special Summon it when you draw it with 0 cards in your hand."

Therefore, if it's a physical card of Infernal Demon, it cannot be used in combination with "Guardian's Treasure". This is because Guardian's Treasure allows the player to draw two cards in one turn. Although Infernal Demon can be Special Summoned if the condition of "0 cards in hand" is met when drawing cards, its effect cannot be activated after it is Special Summoned because the hand is no longer 0 cards.

Yu Xuan then revealed another card he had drawn from his deck: "I added the Continuous Spell 'Eternal Fireball' to my hand from my deck."

Yu Xuan displayed the cards that popped out of the deck.

“Next, I’ll set a card to the back row.” He set another card in his hand, then revealed the Continuous Spell he had just searched. “Activate the Continuous Spell ‘Infernal Cannon’!”

A green image of a magic card appeared, and at the same time, a wave of data rolled across the field, gathering and transforming into a cannon that landed as if shrouded in infernal crimson flames.

You Xuan: "Then immediately activate the effect of the 'Eternal Fire Cannon' spell!"

Send an activated 'Infernal Cannon' from the Spell & Trap Zone to the Graveyard. I can then target up to two 'Infernal' monsters from the Graveyard, and Special Summon those monsters to the field!

As he spoke, he immediately drew the Infernal Cannon he had just activated and inserted it into the Duel Disk's graveyard from the back slot. A burst of flames erupted from the graveyard, and two new cards were spat out as the flames surged.

"I resurrected the monsters 'Infernal Flame Guardian' and 'Infernal Flame Beetle' from the graveyard using the effect of 'Infernal Flame Cannon'!"

The core of the Eternal Flame Guardian is a white skull, as if it were burning, and the whole thing looks like a blue shield, blocking Youxuan's field.

[Eternal Flame Guardian, Defense 1700]

The Eternal Fire Beetle is a pitch-black beetle with serrated, sharp pincers like a stag beetle, and its black armor is as hard as steel.

[Eternal Flame Beetle, Attack Power 1200]

Yu Xuan: "Then the monster effect of 'Infernal Beetle' activates. If you have 0 Infernal Beetles in your hand, you can Tribute this card to Special Summon up to two more 'Infernal Beetles' from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard!" (Animation effect)

The physical card was changed to only be Special Summoned from the Deck, weakening its sustainability. In contrast, the original anime version of Infernal Beetle, even after being used once, could still be resurrected from the Graveyard, and the resurrected beetle could be Tributed to split into two and resurrect the same card from the Graveyard.

At this moment, Youxuan's beetle had split into two, like mirror images, one on the left and one on the right, each occupying a monster slot.
