"Oh? You actually know about the Overlord."
Yugen paused slightly, speaking casually.
"Are you also an elf from the Overlord Dominator Dimension?"
But the Queen snorted pridefully at this moment.
"I am the most loyal subordinate of Lord Evil God, not dominated by anyone else."
Yugen stroked his chin and nodded: "So, you're from another dimension. Then may I ask, what does your Lord Evil God look like?
And, why are you interested in this useless and ineffective elf?"
The eye widened in protest: "Hey! Who are you calling useless? I'm still listening!"
The Queen sneered: "I have no obligation to answer your questions."
Yugen nodded: "Understood. You're not high-ranking enough to have met your so-called Lord Evil God, nor are you privy to why you need this elf."
This seemed to hit a nerve, and the Queen suddenly bristled.
"Who do you think you're calling unqualified?"
"Let me tell you, even in the entire Descent Sect, I am one of the top figures! There aren't more than three people in the whole sect who make me yield.
The reason I don't know is simply because there's no need. These irrelevant details do not affect the execution of a task, nor our loyalty to Lord Evil God!"
The eye narrowed thoughtfully for two seconds, then suddenly said slowly.
"Suddenly, it seems that being an Evil God's dog isn't an easy life either..."
"Indeed." Yugen agreed, "Not knowing what your object of worship even looks like, that's pretty unique."
An elf and his master bantered, causing the Queen's demeanor to fluctuate violently, and she said with a dark face: "Are you here to duel or to chit-chat?"
Yugen smiled nonchalantly: "Then the effect of Dark Realm Trade, both sides draw a card from the Card Deck, then send a card from the hand to the graveyard."
Both drew cards, subsequently swapping a card in their hand.
"But the monster I just discarded is this one."
Yugen revealed his hand.
"Dark Realm's Vanguard: Becky. When this card is discarded from the hand to the graveyard by a card's effect, it is Special Summoned."
With that, he played the monster on the Duel Disc. The 3D projection activated, and a dark, menacing image of a soldier in bone-like armor wielded a spear appeared on the field.
[Dark Realm's Vanguard: Becky, Attack Power 1600]
"Then, I Normal Summon 'Dark World Hunter: Brau'."
The Dark Realm warrior that appeared in the projection system wore silver-white armor, carrying a bow and arrow that seemed slightly small for its stature.
[Dark World Hunter: Brau, Attack Power 1400]
"Summoning two monsters instantly," the Queen said solemnly, "Are you planning to launch an immediate offensive against me?"
Yugen said: "Dark Realm's Vanguard: Becky, attack 'Charming Queen LV3'."
Becky thrust his spear fiercely, the sharp silvery light pierced straight forward. Such a formidable spear, its launch was as if to pierce through a dragon; at this moment, the Queen was merely LV3, and her petite frame seemed unlikely to withstand the might of such a powerful lance.
"Activate the Cover Card, Trap Card 'Opponent's Entry!'"
The Queen activated from the back field.
"Select an opponent's monster on the field, and from the hand, Special Summon a monster of the same level as the chosen monster!"
Yugen: "My field has both a Three-Star and a Four-Star Dark Realm."
"I choose the Level Four 'Dark Realm's Vanguard: Becky'!"
The Queen declared.
"From the hand, Special Summon the Level Four 'Queen's Guard'!"
True to its strange name, what was summoned on the Duel Disc was a troop clad in Royal Guard uniforms; each member wielded a long sword, standing in front of the Queen to glare fiercely at the Vanguard Becky who was charging at her.
Becky was indeed intimidated by this posture, momentarily stepping back with the spear, not daring to advance.
"The effect of the Queen's Guard," the Queen said proudly, "As long as this card is on the field, monsters with 'Charming Queen' in their name on your field cannot be selected as attack targets."
She paused briefly, and smiled with satisfaction.
"My guards would never allow the noble Queen to be attacked."
As if to express their loyalty, the guards stepped forward in unison, raising their heads high and drawing their swords.
"The Queen's majesty does not allow offense!"
The eye widened: "So loyal, just like your relationship with that Evil God."
"You just go ahead and yap while you can," the Queen said coldly, "because soon you won't have that chance."
Yugen: "If I can't attack the Queen, then the battle reverts, I won't attack now."
With that, he drew another card from his hand.
"Cover a card in the back field, ending the turn."
The Queen: "My turn, draw."
The Queen drew a card, then immediately revealed the card she had drawn: "Magic Card 'Pot of Magic Book', both sides draw three cards from their decks." (Original Card)
Both immediately replenished cards with a violent draw. The Queen drew, then raised her head, a hint of a dangerous smile in her eyes.
"Charming Queen LV3, activate effect!" the Queen declared, "Once per turn, select one monster on the opponent's field that is below Level Three, absorb it as an Equipment Card for the Charming Queen!"
On Yugen's field, Brau's expression changed drastically, instinctively pointing to himself.
Below Level Three, does that mean me?
"Absorb Dark World Hunter: Brau!"
As the words fell, the Dark World Hunter was cursing while being absorbed by a charming golden glow, becoming equipment in Yugen's rear field, precisely at the Magic Trap slot behind the Charming Queen.
The Queen: "Next, activate the Magic Card 'Turn Leap'!"
The image of the Magic Card floated in her back field. At that moment, the entire field seemed to freeze over. A giant clock face appeared in the background, its hands frantically spinning.
"Turn Leap can negate all effects on the chain where it was activated and maintain both sides' field states, advancing the turn count by three!" (Original Card)
Such an unscientific effect is clearly unique to the animation. It's the magic used by Muto Yuugi in DM with the LV series, allowing his Silent Knight to rapidly grow to a High Star as turns increased in the animation.
"A card that makes LV monsters rapidly grow." Yugen noted.
"Exactly." The Charming Queen smiled, "Charming Queen LV3 can evolve and upgrade during your preparation phase if it has an Equipment Card on it!
Therefore, Charming Queen LV3 is sent to the graveyard to upgrade to LV5!"
The figure of the Charming Queen rapidly matured, becoming taller and more elegant, the coldness on her face making her seem more authoritative by nature.
