"Send 'Nightmare Mirage Tube' to the graveyard to recover 1000 Life Points!"
[Overlord, LP2200 → LP3200]
"As expected, it's still the same old trick." Yugen smiled faintly.
The blade of the Magic Guide Warrior once again sliced through empty air, seemingly to no avail, but he was quite satisfied with it. The effect of the Magic Guide Warrior was basically meant to eliminate the potential threat of that backfield card. Although it struck empty, it confirmed the Cover Card was indeed Emergency Food, and with the backfield cleared, his mission was considered accomplished.
"Ritual Magic 'Super Warrior Ceremony'!"
Yugen raised the magic in his hand high.
"Sacrifice monsters with a total Level of eight from your hand or field to perform a Ritual Summon of the 'Chaos Warrior' Ritual Monster in your hand!"
He then revealed a Monster Card in his hand.
"Banish 'Magical Warrior - Destructors' from the field and 'Pioneer Knight' from the hand from the game, Ritual Summon!
One soul guides the light, another guides the darkness; the gate of chaos opens here. The legendary warrior—
—Chaos Warrior, summon!"
The souls of light and darkness dissipated in the storm of chaos, and a pillar of chaotic light seemed to descend from beyond the heavens as the mightiest warrior appeared in the vortex!
[Chaos Warrior, Attack Power 3000]
The golden eyes of the Overlord flickered subtly: "This elf..."
It seemed he too sensed an extraordinary quality in the Chaos Warrior that ordinary elves did not possess.
"But even so, its Attack Power is insufficient to defeat the current Evil Blade Demon." The Overlord said.
"When 'Pioneer Knight' is used as Ritual Material, the Chaos Warrior gains an additional effect," Yugen explained, "Once per turn, banish one monster on the opponent's field from the game. Banish the Evil Blade Demon directly!
Dimensional Opening Slash!"
The chaotic sword slashed forth, twisting the very fabric of space, and even the continuously strengthened Evil Blade Demon was powerless before the dimensional rift, merely letting out a scream as it was sucked in.
Moreover, after activating the Dimensional Opening Slash obtained through the effect of 'Pioneer Knight', it did not result in the self-restriction seen with Great Opening. This turn, it can still attack normally.
"Thus, the Fallen Evil Claw cannot protect your Evil Blade Demon anymore. The 'Power Frame' equipped on the Evil Blade Demon and the 'Fallen Evil Claw' will be destroyed together."
Yugen waved his hand.
"Chaos Warrior, direct attack on the Overlord."
With the field cleared by the Dimensional Slash, the Chaos Warrior's sword swung directly at the Overlord. No obstacles remained as the domineering Sword Qi threatened to cleave the heavens and the earth, sweeping over the Otherworldly Ruler like a torrent.
[Overlord, LP3200 → LP200]
Reduced to a flickering candle in the wind by a single slash, the Overlord merely lowered his head, his face hidden in the shadow, expression unreadable.
Yugen: "Set two cards, end turn."
A few seconds of silence followed. The Overlord kept his head down, initially without response.
Several seconds later, he slowly raised his hand.
"... Draw a card."
The Overlord raised his head, his golden eyes seemingly more terrifying than before, now appearing as if golden flames were burning within them.
"I underestimated you, warrior of the Otherworld," he said coldly, "So from now on, I will show my true power."
"Oh?" Yugen replied, "You mean to say that Lord Overlord has not been serious until now?"
The Overlord did not answer, instead silently responding with the cards in his hand.
"Effect of 'Evil Heart Hero: Dark Star Golden Demon' in hand. Discard this card from the hand to add a card with 'Dark Fusion' mentioned in its name from the deck to the hand."
This was evidently the darkened version of "Elemental Hero Golden Captain." The Golden Captain's effect allows discarding from hand to search for Skyscraper.
The Overlord revealed a card searched from the deck.
"Add the Magic Card 'Dark Divine Call' to the hand."
The Overlord raised his voice.
"Magic Card 'Dark Divine Call' activate.
Banish Fusion Material Monsters from hand and graveyard from the game for a Dark Fusion Summon of a Demon Race Fusion Monster."
He drew two cards from the graveyard.
"Banish 'Evil Heart Hero: Dark Star Golden Demon' and 'Evil Heart Hero: Wild Wind Demon' from the graveyard from the game!
The Fusion requirement is 'Evil Heart Hero' plus any Monster of 5 Stars or higher. Descend, my strongest Evil Heart, embodiment of the Dark Hero, with the power of ruination to flatten all dimensions—
—Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, summon!"
The overwhelming and terrifying power seemed as if the immense darkness emanating from the Overlord materialized into the form of a monster, descending as the mightiest Dark Hero!
[Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, Attack Power 3000]
"Evil Blade Death Demon cannot be destroyed by any means!" The Overlord exclaimed, "Moreover, the effect of Evil Blade Death Demon! Once per turn, destroy all monsters on the opponent's field with Attack Power below this card's Attack Power!"
The Overlord commanded sternly.
"Ultimate Annihilation!"
Evil Blade Death Demon roared, an infinite darkness surged forth like a tsunami. Even the Chaos Warrior was defenseless, obliterated and shattered beneath the terrifying torrent.
"Moreover, Evil Blade Death Demon's Attack Power increases by 200 for each monster destroyed!"
[Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 3200]
"You've unleashed the Death Demon." Yugen squinted, "Impressive, Lord Overlord.
Then activate the Cover Card, Trap Card 'Revive Combination'." Yugen stated, "When a single monster on your field is destroyed by a card effect, that monster can be Special Summoned onto your field.
Revive 'Chaos Warrior' in Defense Position on the field."
[Chaos Warrior, Defense Power 2500]
"You think that can stop me? It's far from over, this turn I'll show you the true darkness."
The Overlord declared.
"Activate the Magic Card 'Dark Fusion' again! From the hand, fuse 'Magnetic Warrior: Electromagnetic Martial God' and another 'Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Demon'!
The Fusion requirement is a combination of a Demon Race monster and a Rock Race. Fusion Summon—
—Evil Heart Hero: Dark Earth Demon!!!"
[Evil Heart Hero: Dark Earth Demon, Attack Power ?]
"Dark Earth Demon's Attack Power is the combined original Attack Power of the Fusion Material Monsters!" The Overlord stated.
[Magnetic Warrior: Electromagnetic Martial God, Attack Power 3500]
[Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Demon, Attack Power 2600]
"Thus, the current Attack Power of Dark Earth Demon is..."
[Evil Heart Hero: Dark Earth Demon, Attack Power 6100]
"Attack Power sixty-one hundred." Yugen nodded seriously, "Terrifying indeed."
But the Overlord continued his maneuvers: "Activate the Magic Card 'Dark Divine Call' once again!
Banish 'Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Demon' and 'Evil Heart Hero: Lightning Giant Demon' from the graveyard from the game!
The Fusion condition is 'Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Demon' plus a Demon Race Monster of 6 Stars or higher. Dark Fusion—
—Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Demon King, summon!!!"
[Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Demon King, Attack Power 3500]
