Chapter 122 Isis's [Gravekeeper] Deck
Wang Yang's eyes flickered, filled with disbelief:
"Can this person really see into the future?"
Jonouchi shouted, "Hey, hey, this is ridiculous! Isn't this cheating?"
"Kaiba, she cheated in the competition you organized! You need to do something about it!"
Kaiba's president snorted and watched the duel with his arms crossed, showing no intention of paying any attention.
On the contrary, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
Good heavens! Let me see how you break through this woman's tactics!
The duel continues in the high-speed moving arena.
Isis continued her actions, using two fingers to draw one of her cards:
"I activate the effect of the card I searched in the previous turn, [The Gravekeeper]."
"Send this card from your hand to the Graveyard, and add 1 [Royal Valley of the Sleeping King] from your Deck to your hand."
She sent the card to the graveyard, removed the deck once more, skillfully unfolded it, and drew a card without even looking at it.
Field magic, [Valley of Royal Sleep].
This card was once a must-have in newspaper (revenge on society) decks, and even now, due to its ability to block the graveyard, it can easily defeat many mainstream decks.
The [Dark Magician] deck is also very reliant on the graveyard. If the opponent uses this card, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for Kagura Kiryu.
However, Isis did not activate the card.
She simply added it to her hand, then used her fingertips to draw another card from her hand and showed it to Kagura Kiryu:
"Activate the Spell Card, [Heavenly Treasure Card] (Original Card)."
"Based on the effect of this card, both players draw cards until they have six cards left in their hand."
Activating [Heavenly Treasure Card] at this point would be a clear card disadvantage. Kagura, unaware of her opponent's intentions, could only follow suit and draw cards.
Isis counted the cards one by one from the top of the deck, drawing out the corresponding number of cards.
With a flick of her finger, several cards unfolded nimbly, and then she smiled gently:
"Everything is proceeding in the way prophesied."
"I activate the magic card I just drew, [Dial Erasure]."
Both players discard all their cards to the graveyard, and then draw the corresponding number of cards.
Kagura Kirito suddenly realized something, and looked at the dark-skinned older sister Isis in shock, her eyelids twitching wildly:
"The number of graveyard cards is increasing rapidly, could it be...?"
"Um."
Isis nodded gently and smiled:
"It's the card you guessed, the super rare card [Reversal of the Realm and the Underworld]."
Kagura Kiryu didn't expect the other party to admit it so directly.
【The Reversal Between the Real World and the Underworld】, a card that almost ruined Yu-Gi-Oh!, turning the game into a game of rock-paper-scissors.
If there are 15 or more cards in the graveyard, you must pay 1000 Life Points to activate this effect.
Both players flip the cards in their graveyards and decks.
Yes, you heard right, it's reversed.
This means that as long as you fill your graveyard with 15 or more cards first, you can activate this card immediately during your opponent's turn.
Both players swap their decks and graveyards. At the start of the opponent's turn, their graveyard contains 0 cards; after the swap, their deck contains 0.
Then the opponent will lose directly because they have no cards to draw.
As a result, Konami changed the card "Return" so that it could only be activated when both players had 15 or more cards in their graveyards, effectively removing it from the meta.
Isis smiled gently:
"And at this moment, because of the recent erasure of the journal, I already have the cards in my graveyard—"
"Ten cards."
"and--
Isis drew a card from her hand and placed it face down on the field:
"This card is the one called 'Reversal of the Real World and the Underworld'."
"Just as predicted, this card came into my hand on my second turn."
"From this point on, everything is following the predicted trajectory."
Malik leaned against the railing and chuckled to himself:
"Hehehe, that's really scary, sister."
It was a double torment of tactics and psychology. Ha, no wonder he shares the same bloodline with him.
"Keep it up, Kiryu Kagura!"
Malik's eyes widened suddenly, the whites of his eyes becoming bloodshot:
"I'm waiting to take my revenge on you myself!"
Kagura Kiryu's expression gradually became serious, while Isis maintained her slow and deliberate pace.
"I activate the Spell Card, [Monster Resurrection]."
Isis inserts the card into the Duel Disk, and the Resurrection Symbol flashes in the Duel Arena.
"I resurrect the [Gravekeeper Summoner] in the graveyard."
A bald tomb guardian resembling Lishid was resurrected from the graveyard and struck a fighting pose.
[The Summoner Guardian, Attack Power 1200]
Isis held a card between her fingertips and raised her arm high:
"Then, I unleash the [Gravekeeper Summoner]! Superior Summon!"
"【Gravekeeper】The highest-ranking monster, the ultimate imitation of a phantom god, Level 10, 【Gravekeeper Saniwa】!"
She slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, and the [Gravekeeper Summoner] vanished as a sacrifice.
Instead, there is a blond Egyptian man sitting on a throne, holding a staff similar to a thousand-year-old tin staff, with an arrogant smile on his face.
On the wall behind him were engraved illusory stone tablets emitting three colors: blue, yellow, and red, seemingly in imitation.
[The Tomb Guardian, Level 10, DARK, Spellcaster, ATK 2000, Effect Monster.]
Peacock Dance was shocked: "A level 10 monster? That's the same level as a god!"
Dark Game shook his head, his expression turning serious:
"Furthermore, the gods will not accept effects activated by monsters of a lower level than themselves."
"If this monster has any special effects, it can also influence the gods."
Isis closed her eyes and explained:
"【The Guardian of the Grave】is an extreme imitator of the Three Egyptian Gods."
"Therefore, the entire card can also be Tributed by Tributing three monsters or Tributing one 'Gravekeeper' monster."
"Furthermore, this card can also activate one of its three effects based on the number of [Gravekeeper] monsters used as tribute."
"This card gains 100 Levels from any Gravekeeper monster that was Tributed."
Destroy all face-down monsters on the opponent's field.
The attack and defense of all monsters on the opponent's field decrease by 2000.
This card has a very interesting design. According to the rules, it should be summoned by sacrificing two monsters.
But they insist on imitating the Phantom God by requiring three sacrifices or the life of a [Gravekeeper] clansman.
Furthermore, its three effects correspond in order to [Ra the Winged Dragon of Ra], [Obelisk the Titan], and [Osiris the Sky Dragon].
It's just a severely censored version. Isis stretches out her arm and points to the monster on the field, Kagura and Kiryu:
"I choose the third effect: reduce the ATK and DEF of all monsters on your opponent's field by 2000."
The guardian of the tomb grinned and waved his staff, a plume of black smoke billowing out.
On the field, Kagura Kiryu's Twin Spirits collapsed to their seats, their legs giving way, while the Dark Magician knelt on one knee, supporting himself with his staff.
[Twin Spirits, Attack Power 1900 → Attack Power 0]
[Dark Magician, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 500]
"Oh no, all the monsters in Kagura have turned into weaklings."
Apart from the president and Malik, everyone else in the crowd looked worried.
Isis continued, "Then there's the effect of [Gravekeeper Summoner]."
"When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, I can add a Gravekeeper monster with 1500 or less DEF from my Deck to my hand."
"I chose the [Gravekeeper Spirit Mage] with 1500 defense."
"The battle has begun."
Isis's tone was very gentle, but it was not hard to hear the unwavering determination within:
"The Gravekeeper attacks the Twin Spirits!"
The [Gravekeeper] remained seated, merely raising his staff, and an evil cursed power surged towards the [Twin Spirits].
Isis closed her eyes and said, "Now, use your last card."
Kagura Kiryu gritted his teeth, then suddenly smiled: "As you wish."
He reached out and tapped the duel disk:
"Open the face-down card, a trap card, [half-damage, doesn't break]!"
"Choose a monster; it cannot be destroyed by battle this turn, and the damage it deals is halved!"
"I choose the Twin Elf!"
