Of course, since this is just a normal duel, the holograms won't actually harm the players.
It's just that Youyu got bonked on the head by the candy-like magic staff of Toon Dark Magician Girl, and the scene looked quite funny...
"I set two cards and end my turn." Pegasus crossed his arms and smiled, "Alright, it's your turn, Youyu Boy~"
The members of the Industrial Illusions began to chatter again.
"As expected of President Pegasus, he quickly gained the upper hand."
"President Pegasus's Toon Monsters are still as strong as ever. With this advantage, even the Duel King might have trouble handling it..."
"My turn, draw!" Youyu declared, "When there's a Six Samurai monster on my field, I can Special Summon this card directly from my hand... Come forth! Grandmaster of the Six Samurai!"
The Six Samurai master wielding a jet-black blade appeared instantly, expertly twirling the sword in mid-air.
[Grandmaster of the Six Samurai, ATK 2100]
"At this moment, Continuous Magic - Shien's Dojo activates!" Youyu exclaimed, "Each time a Six Samurai monster is summoned, I place a Bushido Counter on this card. With Grandmaster's appearance, Shien's Dojo now has three counters."
In the central part of the dojo, the third sword was swiftly inserted into the weapon rack, as if indicating something.
Pegasus raised an eyebrow, paying slight attention to the three inserted swords in the dojo's center.
"Next is this card. When I have two or more Six Samurai monsters on the field, it can be Special Summoned directly..."
Youyu took the card from his hand and slammed it onto the Duel Disc.
As the hologram activated, a faint blood-red mist seemed to erupt from the center. The domineering aura swept across the entire field, with dust swirling as if making way for an arriving king.
"He who commands all samurai, unbeatable in battle across the world, the General——
——Great Shogun Shien!"
A dark red pillar of light surged up, and the General, clad in red armor and a black cloak, brought a scorching gale upon his entrance, his cape billowing majestically like waves behind him.
[Great Shogun Shien, ATK 2500]
This card immediately captured everyone's attention upon its appearance.
It wasn't just because of the monster's strength, but the kingly dominance, the commanding presence made this General standing on the field give an instinctive sense of oppression.
The players were equally excited.
Of course, no one would be unfamiliar with Shien, but this was their first time seeing the holographic projection of Great Shogun Shien in a game.
"What? How did I never realize, Shien is so handsome?"
"No kidding. Think about it, Shien is a 7-star with 2500 attack! A textbook protagonist ace monster template! The coolness factor must be maxed out..."
"Stop with the jokes, just say how much money is needed to get it..."
While others only thought Shien was imposing and powerful, it was President Pegasus, the Father of Duel Monsters, who noticed something peculiar.
"Oh? This monster..." Pegasus remarked with interest, "Is it a Duel Monster Spirit?"
"As expected of President Pegasus." Youyu smiled, "That's right, this is a General I encountered during a previous visit to the Spirit Realm. This 'Six Samurai' series also comes from the Spirit Realm."
"The Duel Monster Spirit Realm huh... If there's ever a chance, I'd like to see it for myself."
"Then let's continue!"
Youyu waved a hand, and golden light shone from the surface of the Continuous Magic card beside him.
"The effect of 'Shien's Dojo'!" Youyu pulled this card, sending it to the graveyard, "I send 'Shien's Dojo' with three Bushido Counters to the graveyard to Special Summon a Six Samurai monster of level 3 or lower from the deck!
The monster I choose to summon is... this card."
Youyu opened his deck, found the desired card, and revealed it to Pegasus.
"Level 3, The Six Samurai - Kamon!"
A burst of flames heralded the summon of a new Six Samurai warrior from the deck. From his armor and appearance to the burning dynamite in his hand, he looked like a dynamite fanatic.
"Five monsters filling the field in an instant!" The NPCs of Industrial Illusions were astonished, "What incredible swarming capability! To fill the whole field so effortlessly?"
For duelists of this era, this was nearly impossible. Whether in a favorable or adverse situation, it was seldom that anyone managed to fill five Monster Zones by the duel's end, let alone within one or two turns.
This newly summoned warrior was specifically chosen by Youyu.
"The effect of The Six Samurai - Kamon!" Youyu announced, "When there's another Six Samurai on my field, I can destroy one face-up Magic Trap Card.
The card I want to destroy is, of course... 'Toon Kingdom'!"
The 'Toon Kingdom' on Pegasus's field was the core of his Toon Deck, and its destruction would significantly weaken his strategy.
But unfortunately, it wasn't going to be that simple.
"Ha! At this moment, you've triggered my trap!" Pegasus laughed heartily, "I've activated the Set Card! Counter Trap - Recall!
This card can negate the activation of a monster effect and destroy it. Afterwards, the opposing player draws one card!"
A bizarre black mist emerged from the ground, opening up a massive blood-red vortex with an irresistible suction that grabbed the newly summoned The Six Samurai - Kamon. The warrior hadn't even stood firm before he was pulled into the vortex, dissipating into countless sparkling golden dust.
