Charming Queen LV5, summon!
"Now that I've leveled up to LV5, the Charming Power of the Queen has also been enhanced!"
The Queen laughed.
"Now the Charming Queen can charm any monster below five stars to my side!
Once per turn, she can absorb an enemy's monster below five stars as equipment.
I will absorb 'Dark Realm's Vanguard: Becky'!"
Then the remaining Dark Realm warrior on Yugen's field was also bewildered by the golden light of charm, his gaze becoming dazed. Soon, he stumbled, seemingly drunk and uncontrollable, towards the opposing half of the field, finally stopping behind the Queen.
"You've turned all my Dark Realm against me, huh." Yugen sighed, "That's too much."
By the way, why does it feel like there are more Minotaurs lately...
However, the Charming Queen's effect can only remove enemy monsters through charm but cannot absorb their Attack Power or effects.
This is also why, although this series came out early, it has never been favored in the physical card environment by players.
"Battle!" the Queen ordered loudly, "Charming Queen LV5, direct attack on that guy!"
Her Majesty's eyes flashed red, and then she gripped a golden magic staff in her hand. A beam of golden light shot through the air, directly blasting Yugen, causing a real shock that made Yugen stagger back two steps, and the area where he stood erupted in black smoke.
[Yugen, LP4000 → LP3000]
"Eh!? You let their attack through?" Eye exclaimed, "Isn't this bad? At this rate, I'll be captured by the opponent soon!"
"Seems so."
Yugen nodded.
"You'd better start packing your bags."
Eye: "..."
The Queen laughed heartily: "You can see reality. Continue attacking!"
She waved her arm, her presence like Her Majesty the Queen wielding a whip.
"And the Queen's Guard, continue direct attacks!"
The warriors of the Personal Guard received Her Majesty's orders, shouting in unison, drew their swords. The cold glint of blades flashed and they slashed toward Yugen's location.
However, just as the sword light was about to hit, Yugen's mouth suddenly curved into a sinister arc.
He showed a dangerous smile.
Queen: "!?"
The next moment, she saw in amazement that her loyal guards, her pride of toadies, suddenly turned savagely and charged at her with bloodshot eyes, shouting.
Queen, horrified: "What do you think you're doing? Rebel?"
"I activated the Trap Card 'Chaos Foil'." Yugen pointed to the trap in the back field, laughing, "This card can only be activated during the same Battle Phase when declaring a second direct attack.
It makes the monster declaring the second attack battle the monster that declared the first attack."
Queen: "!"
The first attack was her Charming Queen LV5, and the second was the Personal Guard...
So what it means is, the battle now is between the Personal Guard attacking their own Queen?
At that moment, the chaotic swords of the Personal Guard had already struck the Queen, and she let out a sharp scream.
[Queen, LP4000 → LP3300]
"You scoundrel, you actually used my own guard against me..."
The Queen, with a cold face, said quietly.
"But the Queen with an equipped state isn't Immortal! If the Charming Queen is destroyed in battle, she can use the equipped monster instead of destruction.
So the one destroyed is your 'Dark Realm's Vanguard: Becky'!"
The Becky in the back field silently exploded with a boom, taking the place of the Queen in being destroyed and leaving the field.
But even though the monster is invincible, the battle damage can't be avoided. Her Majesty the Queen had to bear the brunt of the damage impact herself.
Of course, the physical damage isn't the most critical.
The crucial point is, she was actually slashed by her own toady team!
Such a great shame and humiliation, if she can't avenge this fight, wouldn't it tarnish her name as the Charming Queen?
"Your Majesty!"
The guards hurriedly dropped their swords, looking incredibly panicked.
"Are you alright?"
It seemed they were ready to commit seppuku to atone for their crimes at her command.
The Queen snorted heavily, waved them off, and didn't want to say anything.
"Set a card, end of turn."
"My turn, draw."
Yugen glanced at the card he drew, then revealed it.
"Magic Card 'Angel's Charity', draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from your hand."
Angel's Charity is also one of the early Dark Realm Divine Artifacts. Although it was a commonly used Magic Card that everyone carried during that time, if we need to say who was most affected after it got banned, Dark Realm would surely be at the top of the list.
Yugen discarded two cards. As expected, one of the cards just discarded into the graveyard immediately reacted.
"Dark Mage: Snow's effect." Yugen said, "If this card is discarded to the graveyard by a card effect from the hand, add a 'Dark Realm' Card from the Deck to the hand.
I add this card from the deck..."
Yugen revealed the Magic Card in his hand.
"Adding the Field Spell 'Gate of the Dark Realm' to my hand."
"Then activate the Field Spell 'Gate of the Dark Realm'!"
The Field Spell was placed into the Duel Disc, and a pitch-black domain erupted centered on him, engulfing the entire field in an instant. The duel field seemed to fall into a dark abyss, and at the center of the abyss stood a towering gate, as if sealing some terrifying creature.
"Gate of the Dark Realm, increases the Attack Power and Defense Power of face-up Demon Race monsters on the field by 300,"
Yugen said.
"And once per turn, banish a Demon Race monster from the graveyard, choose a Demon Race monster from the hand to discard, then draw one card from the deck."
Yugen revealed a Demon Race card from the graveyard.
"I banish the 'Dark World Hunter: Brau' from the graveyard to activate the effect.
Discarding a card from my hand, then draw one card."
Soon after, the card he had just discarded to the graveyard immediately reacted. A cloud of dark energy erupted from the Duel Disc, condensed on the field, and gradually formed into a hulking humanoid figure.
"The card I just discarded was 'Dark Realm's Ghost God: Celtic'," Yugen stated, "If Celtic is discarded to the graveyard by card effect, it's Special Summoned. Come forth—
—Dark Realm's Ghost God: Celtic!"
[Dark Realm's Ghost God: Celtic, Attack Power 2400]
"Then I'll Normal Summon 'Dark Realm's Mad King: Blom'."
[Dark Realm's Mad King: Blom, Attack Power 1800]
"Time to battle." Yugen said, "While the Personal Guard is on the field, they can't attack the Charming Queen, so let's start with the Personal Guard.
Dark Realm's Mad King: Blom, attack 'Queen's Guard'!"
