Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 201: Sacred Beast Selekt
Under the overflowing energy and arcs of electricity from the duel disk, the card special effects expanded rapidly, but under the tremors of the earth, it made people doubt whether it was really a pure "visual projection".

But soon, no one cared about that stuff anymore.

Huge pillars quickly emerged from beneath the crumbling earth, eventually supporting a sarcophagus that resembled the interior structure of a pyramid, revealing its true nature to everyone.
"The Royal Temple."

Gazing at the emerging palace, You Ming couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

It's a very powerful card in terms of actual card effects, but in the original game, it existed as a field magic, and if I remember correctly, it also had two supporting cards that hadn't been turned into O-type cards yet, and it's estimated that they will never be turned into actual cards in this lifetime!
"Then I open the remaining two covered cards—"Celeket's Crest" and "The Holy Grail of the Sealed Soul."

With the activation of Gaika, two holy objects appeared in front of the huge temple.

The eyeball-like carving was then embedded into the Holy Grail, and the huge golden cup slowly stood on the sacred sarcophagus.

"When these two sacred objects gather in the royal temple, the sacred beasts guarding this royal temple will respond to my call no matter where they are!"

'Gululu'

With a sound like liquid surging, thick poisonous mist overflowed from the golden holy grail. At the same time, the golden cup and the emblem inlaid on it were also dissolved together.

Eventually, the thick liquid reconstructed into the massive body of a giant scorpion:

"Show yourself, the embodiment of my loyalty—"Sacred Beast Sereket"!"

"Sacred Beast Sereket (lv6)"

"Attribute/Earth"

"Race/Angel"

"atk/2500 def/2000"

Named after the ancient Egyptian goddess, the guardian beast let out a ferocious roar.

"Two specialized magic cards and one dedicated field magic card?"

Facing the thick fog that seemed to be about to spray onto his face, You Ming simply waved his hand to dispel the poisonous gas.

"Although the procedures are very complicated, it is still a remarkable special recruitment method in this era."

After all, not to mention that the card 'Royal Temple' itself is very versatile, just using two cards to directly recruit a monster with 2500 damage is also quite flexible in this era.

but……

"Don't forget that its current attack power is still inferior to that of the Chaos Warrior."

"Of course, I understand this, but I also hope you understand that this royal temple is not only the guardian of Selekt, but also its habitat, its nest, and its home!"

Having said that, Lishid couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Therefore, it will also provide assistance to Seleket!"

'Rumble'

"Now, I'll set the last card in my hand to the backfield. When 'Royal Temple' is on the field, the Temple Guardian can activate the trap directly during the turn it's set!"

A unique radiance flashed, and then, pitch-black chains suddenly spread from all directions.

"The card I activated is 'Dark Curse'."

'Shua La'

In an instant, the chains were wrapped around the body of the "super warrior". At the same time, the ancient warrior soul also whimpered in pain.

"Monsters bound by "Dark Curse" cannot change their display, cannot attack, and their attack power will be reduced by 700!"

Super Warrior

"atk/3000→2300"

"This makes its attack power lower than Sereket's."

Watching this scene, Lishid shouted.

"Go ahead, holy beast - tear that ancient warrior into pieces!" Excited by the sight of prey, the giant scorpion holy beast named after the Egyptian goddess pounced forward, biting the warrior with its teeth that seemed to still be dripping with saliva, and the warrior was shattered in an instant.

At the same time, the aftermath of the explosion further splashed onto the duelist's body.

[Youming LP: 4000 → 3800]

"Then, the Sereket will gain half the power of the monster it devoured (original)!"

"Sacred Beast Sereket"

"atk/2500→4000"

"So he raised his attack power to 4000 in one go?"

Naturally, Isis knew the effect of this card, and she was also well aware that Lishid's deck was built around this holy beast.

It can be said that in previous duels, the monster's long waiting time meant Lishid's victory. No duelist had enough ability to face a giant beast whose strength would continue to increase with the battle.

But what now?
She couldn't help but look at the other side of the battlefield. The young man in black didn't retreat at all.

There was no fear, no uneasiness. Facing the giant beast that had expanded and even mutated, his attitude was like treating a kitten:
"Come to think of it, I remember that the real card should increase its power by 500 points and be banished..."

Looking at the 'Scorpion Angel' that had now grown a humanoid body and looked like a warrior, You Ming couldn't help but touch his chin.

"But... for you, I think each has its own merits—Monster effect activated."

Following the casual announcement, the monster fragments and broken armor on the ground emitted a blazing glow.

"When [Super Warrior] is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 [Dark Knight - Gaia] from your Deck."

Then, the fragments formed a passage, and the knight on his warhorse returned.

"Show yourself, 'Sprinting Dark Knight - Gaia'."

"Gaia (lv7)"

Attribute/Light

Race/Warrior

"atk/2300 def/2100"

"Sure enough, even after being destroyed, he can still easily summon such a high-level monster..."

For a moment, Isis didn't even know what to say.

Judging from the situation on the field, it was clear that Lishid had the advantage in both dimensions, but she had a hunch.

No, it wasn't really a premonition, but simply something all duelists should know:

That level of attack power is nothing but an illusion.

And now...

"End of round."

The one who was forced into a desperate situation was Lishid himself!
"My turn, draw a card... Anyway, let's put this all to an end."

Then, a certain light shone on the field. In the light, the armor fell apart, reflecting the warrior's face that could only be described as compassionate.

"During the Main Phase, I activate this card I previously set—"Reincarnated Super Warrior." By this card's effect, the "Holy Warrior" on the field will be reincarnated into this guy, ignoring the summoning conditions."

In that brilliant light, the duelists turned over the cards they drew and displayed them in front of everyone.

"Chaos Warrior - Messenger of Creation."

“It’s that card!”
