Chapter 243 Rafiru, Did You Howl? (Combined Chapter)
"This card"
Rafael's expression changed: "You're willing to destroy your own deck just to activate this card?"
Kagura's tone was uncertain: "Death is the ultimate destination of everything. No matter who it is, everyone will eventually face absolute death."
"Right now, I'm just a ghost flipping through cards."
"I send a card from my hand to the graveyard. Activate: [One-Hit Kill! Iaijutsu Draw]!"
Kagura sends a card to the graveyard: "You have three cards on your field, so I'm sending three cards from my deck to the graveyard!"
He then counted three more cards from the top of the deck and sent them to the graveyard:
"Now, the moment to reveal your destiny, Rafael!"
"If I draw another [One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw], all three cards on your field will be destroyed! And you will take 6000 damage!"
"If the card I draw is not 'One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw', then I will return the number of cards sent to the Graveyard to the Deck."
"I have 31 cards left in my deck, and I have 2 copies of the remaining card 'One-Hit Kill! Iaijutsu Draw,' which is a 1 in 15 chance."
Kagura's calm tone seemed to carry a hint of judgment:
"So, are you ready to accept your fate?"
Rafael couldn't help but swallow hard. This guy—
"Draw a card!"
The card flew through the air, like the footsteps of death on patrol.
Kagura glanced at the card she had drawn, chuckled, and slowly flipped it over:
"Heh, the card I drew is—"
"Hehe, it's the [Evil Dragon], it's not so easy to draw after all."
Kagura suddenly reverted to her usual comedic style.
Rafiru: —
The steady, burly man couldn't help but clench his fist.
You son of a bitch.
Then what are you pretending for?!
He thought he was going to be killed again, damn it, what a moron.
Kagura wasn't embarrassed at all, since he was wearing a mask and no one could recognize him; even his card deck and voice were different.
Some people seem to be wearing masks, but in reality, they've taken them off.
"Based on the effect of 【One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw】, I will return three cards from the Graveyard to the Deck."
Kagura picked out three cards from the graveyard, inserted them into the deck, and then shuffled them.
While shuffling the cards, he couldn't resist teasing, "How was it? Were you scared? Did your heart race just now?"
"That's right, I'll bring a smile to your face with a duel!"
Rafiru's face was terribly gloomy. It was only because he didn't like to talk that he probably would have already started cursing.
"Don't be like that, cheer up. It's no fun to always look so gloomy."
Kagura put the card back into the deck and continued her actions: "Just now, the card I sent from my hand to the graveyard was [Compensation Treasure Card]. I drew two cards from my deck."
This [Iaijutsu draw] not only didn't cost him a card, but actually made him a profit.
"Next, I'll Special Summon the card I just drew, [Evil Dragon]!"
"Come forth, [Evil Dragon]!"
That's right, Kagura is playing a Dragon deck today.
All of them are rare cards from the International Illusion Society.
A ferocious and cruel dragon appeared in the dueling arena and let out a loud roar.
[Evil Dragon, Level 5, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2000, Effect Monster]
"Summon a level 5 monster directly?"
Rafiru raised an eyebrow.
"【Evil Dragon】Can be Special Summoned from your hand when there are only monsters on your opponent's field."
Kagura explained, "The original ATK and DEF of this card Special Summoned by this effect are halved."
[Evil Dragon, Attack Power 2000 → Attack Power 1000]
"Then I will sacrifice this card to Tribute Summon [Strong Wind Dragon]!"
A giant green dragon with enormous wings, imbued with wind attributes, appeared, its flapping wings creating a fierce wind.
[Strong Wind Dragon, Level 6, Wind Attribute, Dragon Type, Attack Power 2400, Effect Monster]
"【Strong Wind Dragon】When a Dragon-Type monster is Tributed for a High-Level Summon, its ATK increases by half the original ATK of the Tributed monster!"
"The original attack power of the [Evil Dragon] is 2000, so the attack power of the Strong Wind Dragon increases by 1000 points!"
[Strong Wind Dragon, Attack Power 2400 → Attack Power 3400]
This strategy is also a common one used by Jack Atlas in Yu-Gi-Oh! Part 3: [Evil Dragon] + [Strong Wind Dragon], a single sacrifice can create a high-level monster with an attack power of 3400.
"A monster with an attack power of 3400 right off the bat?"
Rafiru was somewhat surprised, and his eyes instantly turned sharp.
Oh no, we underestimated this comedian! Being crazy doesn't mean he's weak. This guy is a master at taking down dozens of members.
Perhaps this is all a facade!
"fighting!"
The man in black robes waved his hand and said, "[Strong Wind Dragon], attack [Support Guard]!"
A hurricane blew up, and the emerald green dragon swung its muscular arms, smashing the red-haired demon to pieces with a single blow.
"【Strong Wind Dragon】When attacking a Defense Position monster, it can inflict damage exceeding the monster's defense!"
Kagura continued, "[Strong Wind Dragon] has an attack power of 3400, and [Support Guard] has a defense power of 2200, so it deals 1200 damage to you!"
[Rafiru, LP4000→LP2800]
The blond, muscular man lowered his raised arm: "To inflict such massive damage right from the start! Then I'll activate my face-down card, the trap card [Return to Front]!"
Rafael shouted, "Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard in Defense Position! Revive it! [Support Guard]!"
The red-haired demon was resurrected once more, spreading his arms to shield his master from harm.
"Just as the intelligence report said, he is someone who would never send a monster to the graveyard."

Kagura said with a hint of teasing, "Oh dear, if you insist on this, someone might find a flaw in your strategy."
"I don't need your reminder," Rafael said calmly. "Continue your turn."
"Okay, of course, no problem."
Kagura pretended to draw two cards:
"I set two cards face down, and my turn is over."
Kagura swiftly set down two cards, looking incredibly cool. "My turn! Based on the effect of [Guardian's Treasure Card], I draw two cards from my deck!"
Rafael drew two cards, glanced at them, and used one:
"I activate the Spell Card, [Ashaka Record] (original card), and draw two cards from my deck."
If any of the cards you draw are cards that have been used in this duel, you must banish them!
The duel had only just begun, so naturally no cards that Rafael had used had been drawn yet.
"Then I stamp a card!"
Rafael inserted a card into the Doma-made Duel Disk and then said:
"Then I activated the equipment spell, [Gravity Axe], and equipped it to [Support Guardian], increasing its attack power by 500!"
[Support Guard, Attack Power 500 → Attack Power 1000]
"When I have [Gravity Axe] on my field and this is the only card in my hand, I can Special Summon this card!"
"Come on! Guardian Grall!"
The familiar muscular, pale green lizardman appears, roaring fiercely as the ugliest monster in the Raferum Card set.
[Guardian Grall, Level 5, Earth Attribute, Dinosaur Race, Attack Power 2500, Effect Monster.]
"Next, activate the effect of [Support Guardian]! Equip [Gravity Axe] to [Guardian Grall]!"
The axe in the support guard's hand disappeared and then reappeared in the hand of the muscular dinosaur.
[Guardian Grall, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 3000.]
"Amazing!"
Kagura clapped her hands: "But a monster with an attack power only at the level of Blue-Eyes White Dragon can't defeat the [Strong Wind Dragon] with an attack power of 3400."
Rafiru sneered, "You don't need to remind me!"
"I reveal my face-down card, the Spell Card, [Heavenly Treasure Card]. Both players draw cards from their decks until they have six cards in their hand!"
Rafael draws six directly, Kagura draws three.
Rafiru opened the six cards he had drawn, glanced at them, and his expression suddenly changed.
Is it time to use this card?
"I don't know who you are!"
Rafiru held up a card: "But making an enemy of Doma was your biggest mistake!"
"I'm going to activate this card!"
"Wait a moment!"
Kagura suddenly clicked the duel disk, and a card at her feet opened:
"Open the card, [Mental Breakdown]!"
"Declare 1 card name. If the declared card is in the opponent's hand, the opponent discards all cards in their hand!"
"If the declared card is not in your opponent's hand, discard one random card from your hand!"
Kagura's lips suddenly curled up: "Alright, let the greatest entertainment duelist guess which card you've raised."
"Um--"
He pondered pretentiously, "Could it be... the [Orichalcos Barrier]?"
Rafiru:
The veins on his forehead bulged; that bastard.
Rafiru, humiliated, displayed the card he had held up before sending it to the graveyard.
"Wow, I didn't expect to guess right, that's great!"
The despicable man in black robes suddenly asked in an innocent tone, "How about it, want to laugh now?"
Rafiru: —
He was almost laughing out of anger.
Alright, alright, you'll smile, right? Rafiru will remember that.
"Equipment Magic! [Orichalcos Sword] (Original Card)!"
"You can activate this effect by discarding one card from your hand. Equip this card to your [Strong Wind Dragon]! Negate that monster's effects!"
A sword, seemingly the best in the village, pierced the green foot of the [Strong Wind Dragon], and its power immediately diminished due to the pain in its foot.
"Infant chewing infant —"
With its muscular physique and a height of five meters, Baby Dragon emitted a powerful voice befitting a macho man.
[Strong Wind Dragon, Attack Power 3400 → Attack Power 2400]
Rafael: "The card I just discarded was also a [Compensation Treasure Card]. Draw two cards from your deck!"
"Then I activated the equipment spell, [Butterfly Dagger], equipping it to [Support Guardian], increasing its attack power by 300!"
The red-haired demon held the small sword that could be used to pick his teeth, looking completely bewildered.
[Support Guard, Attack Power 500 → Attack Power 800]
Yes, this vicious forbidden card, equipped with the magic [Butterfly Dagger], is Raferu's signature card.
Kagura touched his chin. So this is where it is. No wonder he had never seen this card in the Kaiba Group's card collection.
Very good, there should be quite a lot in Doma's warehouse. I didn't search carefully enough. I really should become a real skinflint.
Rafael had no idea what the man in black opposite him was thinking, and simply continued his actions:
"This card can be Normal/Special Summoned while you control [Butterfly Dagger]!"
"Come on! [Guardian Alma]!"
A pretty girl with red hair and scantily clad clothes nimbly leaped onto the dueling arena. She looked like a thief from a game. [Guardian Alma, Level 3, Wind Attribute, Angel Race, ATK 1300, Effect Monster.]
A card pops out of Rafiru's graveyard:
"【Guardian Alma】Summon/Special Summon. After successful summoning, equip 1 Equip Card from your Graveyard to this card!"
"I equip this card with the Equip Card 'Guardian's Shield' from my Graveyard!"
A small shield flew out of the graveyard and was caught steadily by the red-haired girl.
[Guardian Alma, Defense 1200 → Defense 1500]
"Then activate the [Support Guard] effect and equip [Butterfly Dagger] to [Guardian Alma]!"
The red-haired girl took her signature weapon from the red-haired demon and practiced it smoothly for a few moments.
[Guardian Alma, Attack Power 1300 → Attack Power 1600]
"Entering battle phase!"
Rafael roared, "[Guardian Grall]! Attack [Strong Wind Dragon]!"
"The Hero's Severing Strike!"
The dinosaur-like muscular man wielded his gravity axe, clearly aspiring to be a dragon-slaying axe or something.
The Wind Dragon, whose foot was pierced by the sword, was unable to dodge the attack and was unfortunately cut down and forced to leave the field.
[Kagura Kiryu, LP4000→LP3400]
Kagura cried out in anguish:
"Damn it, how dare they bully my Longlong!"
[Strong Wind Dragon] said pitifully, "You're right, boss! Avenge me! Let them know how powerful you are!"
"Then I'll just have to abandon it!"
Strong Wind Dragon: ?
"Open the face card, a perpetual trap, [Blood Compensation]!"
At Kagura's feet, a blood-stained card was opened:
"Pay 500 Life Points to Normal Summon a monster! This effect can only be activated during your Main Phase and your opponent's Battle Phase!"
"I pay 500 LP to Summon one card from my hand face down!"
[Kagura Kiryu, LP3400→LP2900]
"Then, [Guardian Grall], attack that monster that's covered up!"
"A passionate thunderclap!"
The red-haired girl brandished her short sword and charged toward the card. The card flipped over, revealing an adorable, pinkish little dragon that looked a bit like a salamander.
[Kodomo Dragon, Level 3, Earth-type, Dragon-type, Defense 200, Effect Monster.]
The girl showed no interest in cute creatures whatsoever and simply chopped the baby dragon to pieces with a single blow.
"Oh dear, oh dear, how cruel."
Kagura shook her head: "How could we kill such a cute baby? That wouldn't pass the review."
"Look, even the father has come to avenge his son."
A frenzied dragon appeared, its head adorned with an emerald dragon pearl, its body towering over ten meters tall, its body entirely crimson, and its wings enormous. It was clearly the king of the dragon race in some region.
Tyrant Dragon, Level 8, Fire Attribute, Dragon Type, Attack Power 2900, Effect Monster
Rafiru asked, somewhat puzzled, "How did this monster appear?"
Kagura: "Of course, it's because you killed someone's son that they're here for revenge."
Seeing that Rafael hadn't uttered a single word of news, Kagura sighed:
"He really has no sense of humor. Okay, actually it's the effect of [Kodomo Little Dragon]."
"You can activate this effect when this card is sent to the Graveyard; Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster from your hand."
