The Black Magician descends once again, and the magic circle in midair is synchronously activated. The engravings on the magic ring glow brilliantly, and the circle spins rapidly, the surging magic power burgeoning like blades and spears shooting out.
Black Magic Circle, once per turn, when "Black Magician" descends onto the field, it can banish any card on the field from the game.
It can to some extent foresee and even influence the trajectory of the future, using powerful magic power to interfere with space, erasing any existence to void with time-space magic. This is the "Black Magic Circle", the spell of the highest echelon in the Black Magic faction!
The boundless magic power surged like a flood breaking the dam, carrying dust and debris from the space, launching an assault towards Doomking Balerdroch.
The undead king roared as if demonstrating its might, the gleam of the ruby highlighting its skeletal frame conspicuously, but all that was nothing more than impotent rage.
Doomking Balerdroch is the absolute king among the Undead-Type, with powerful authority to negate any Undead-Type monster's special abilities other than its own.
And when the field magic "Zombie World" is present, all monsters on both sides of the field and in the graveyard transform into Undead-Type.
In other words, under this combination, Doomking Balerdroch possesses the supreme authority to negate the special abilities of any monster.
Yet, in the face of this high-order Black Magic power, it is powerless.
The reason is simple: This power comes from the Continuous Magic "Black Magic Circle", and not from the Black Magician's own monster effect. Although Doomking has the formidable ability to negate any monster effect, that premise requires the presence of effects to begin with.
The Black Magician...is a Normal Monster, with no effects at all.
The spells it utilizes all derive from the exclusive magic traps of the Black Magician, and do not fall within the scope of monster effects. Even the mighty Doomking is helpless against it.
The surging Black Magic encompassed the entire field, space distorted, dimensions shifted, Doomking Balerdroch was struck brutally by the torrent of Black Magic, its form becoming a phantom, twisting in the center of the domain, letting out a deep and unwilling roar before vanishing from the field.
The Dark Grand Priest seemed to hear the grinding of his own teeth, the sound excessively harsh beneath the mask.
The magic circle ceased spinning, the surging storm of magic paused briefly. The Black Magician, arms crossed, lightly floated back in front of the Pharaoh, his expression as calm as an ancient well, yet still maintaining that untouchable inviolable essence.
The Dark Grand Priest had not yet conceded: "Then Quick-Play Magic - Burial from Another Dimension! Return the banished 'Necroworld Banshee', 'Mezuki', and 'Doomking Balerdroch' back to my grave!"
Burial from Another Dimension, Quick-Play Magic, allows the selection of up to three monsters banished from the game to return to the graveyard.
Doomking Balerdroch has the undead ability to be revived from the graveyard each turn, potentially reemerging the next round. Coupled with Balerdroch's own powerful special abilities, it should be able to blockade the opponent's actions.
Of course, the Dark Grand Priest no longer dared underestimate the master-servant pairing of the Pharaoh and Mahad. He would not naively think this would be enough to withstand their offensive.
The Dark Grand Priest, through the Millennium Eyes, glanced at another stone tablet in his hand, his gaze turning chilling.
This stone tablet is where he has entrusted his true core for a reversal strike!
"Set two stone tablets, my turn ends."
Come on, hit me, Pharaoh! The Grand Priest said inwardly.
The moment you launch an attack will be the moment of your demise!
Yugi's gaze lingered briefly on the set cards in the Grand Priest's back row, then remarked expressionlessly, "My turn, draw card."
"At this moment, the power of Balerdroch awakens as well!" the Dark Grand Priest shouted, "Awaken from your slumber. Doomking Balerdroch!"
Doomking Balerdroch, when there is a card in the field area, this card in the graveyard can be specially summoned in defense position during both players' preparation phase.
The dark miasma dyed the world ink-black, the white bone armor-clad undead king returned to the field with the thunderous cracking of the earth, the deathly pressure suffocating.
[Doomking Balerdroch, Defense 2000]
Among the surrounding priests, someone couldn't help but remark, "How evil, how powerful is this creature! Is it truly immortal?"
And the effect of "Pot of Avarice" activated, allowing the Dark Grand Priest to gain a new stone tablet again.
"This is the dark power I obtained from Hell!" the Dark Grand Priest shouted, "Without the protection of deities, you cannot win, no matter what!"
But neither Yugi nor the spirit Mahad paid any heed. The Black Mage Staff waved lightly, and that aura of death was isolated by the domain of Black Magic, not invading in the slightest.
Glancing at the drawn card, Yugi looked up and said to the Black Magician, "Mahad, I need to borrow your body."
"It's fine." The Black Magician nodded, "As long as it is for the Pharaoh, I am willing to offer my body as many times as needed."
Yugi nodded, then swiftly revealed a card: "Quick-Play Magic - Magical Dimension! When there is a Spellcaster-Type on your field, you can sacrifice one of your monsters to specially summon a Spellcaster-Type monster from your hand."
"In the domain of 'Zombie World', any follower will transform into an undead!" the Dark Grand Priest shouted.
"The effect of 'Eternal Soul'!" Yugi raised a hand and pointed to the monument standing tall behind him, "The Black Magician is immune to all magic, trap, and monster effects.
