"Attack power... eight thousand eight hundred!?" Principal Samejima exclaimed.
In comparison, even the Five-Headed Dragon's combat power is trash!
[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, Attack Power 8800]
[Dark Cavalry, Attack Power 5100]
The attack command was reissued after the Battle Recall, and the battle is inevitable. The Magic Knight charged at full speed, the mechanical fist struck down with full force, and sparks flew from the mechanical joints of the arm...
Boom!!!
With such a level of attack power, the stereoscopic image effects generated are naturally quite impressive. The enormous shockwave was like a tsunami along the coast, engulfing everything with light effects and smoke. The visibility on the field was reduced to the minimum, and even the aftermath caused Principal Samejima's bald head to ache.
"What's... going on?" He squinted his eyes.
[Youyu, LP 1900]
Principal Samejima was dumbfounded.
Youyu's Life Points remained unchanged, and the black iron cavalry still stood before him. The Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem retreated to its original position, and the arm it had just swung had already shattered under the strain, exposing a multitude of broken circuits.
Not just the principal, Cronos was also surprised: "What's going on? Why is everything fine, Norne?"
"By banishing 'Necro Gardna' from the graveyard, I nullified one attack from the opponent's monster." Youyu smiled.

"How can this be?" Cronos said, as if a defeated rooster, "Even with this, it couldn't be taken down..."
"Though it's regrettable it didn't work, it was still a very beautiful attack, Professor Cronos." Youyu said.
"Indeed, though said... the situation is still very disadvantageous for Professor Cronos." Principal Samejima began his analysis, "The 'Limiter Removal' is a strong card that can instantly boost the explosive power of Machine-Type monsters, but that force also carries corresponding risks.
Forcing the boost of the mechanical power and amplifying output, the result will inevitably lead to overload of the machine itself."
Indeed, the monster enhanced by the effect of 'Limiter Removal' must be destroyed at the end phase of the turn.
If Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem is destroyed, Cronos would have to face the next turn in an open field state. That would almost be tantamount to a death sentence.
Cronos gritted his teeth for a moment, quickly took the next step: "Then I activate the Quick-Play Magic 'Trap Booster'! According to this effect, I can activate a Trap Card from my hand." (Animation Card)
He flung a Trap Card.
"Activate Trap Card 'Jogging - Cross Dimension'!" Cronos declared, "Banish one 'Ancient Gear' monster on your field from the game! The monster banished by this effect will return to the field in the next turn's standby phase, with its attack power doubled!"
He pointed to the magnificent steel giant on his field.
"I banished 'Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem' from the game, Norne!"
The dimensional space twisted, the shape of the ultimate giant flickered, its crimson mechanical eyes flashing like they were faulty indicator lights. In just a moment, the giant disappeared from the field without a trace.
"Beautiful!" Principal Samejima nodded, "This way the side effect of 'Limiter Removal' is avoided, and the attack power of the ultimate giant will be doubled in the next turn!"
"Set a card facedown, turn ends, Norne!"
But this way, the field and grave combined, three more Magic Trap Cards were added, further boosting the attack power of Dark Cavalry.
[Dark Cavalry, Attack Power 5400]
"My turn, draw." Youyu said.
"In this instant, the effect of the Trap Card 'Jogging - Cross Dimension' activates, 'Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem' returns to the field, and its attack power doubles, Norne!"
The dimension twisted, as if the space was torn from the outside by a monstrous force. The towering metal giant descended with heavy footsteps, its metal feet crushing the floor, its form seemingly twice as massive as before.
[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, Attack Power 8800]
An attack power of eight thousand eight hundred, this number not only sounds nice, but hitting it down won't be so easy, at least not with the current attack power of the cavalry.
Since that's the case...
"Magic Card - Monster Recovery!" Youyu said, "Shuffle all cards from your hand and on the field back into the deck, then draw five cards."
All cards were recycled, naturally including the Dark Cavalry with an attack power of 5400 on the field. This means reshuffling the deck, attempting to deploy a lineup with new five cards to break through an attack power of 8800.
Watching the Dark Cavalry turn into a golden beam and return to the deck twice, Cronos couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
Giving up Dark Cavalry... is he planning to use another stronger strategy to attack?
Youyu soon provided the answer: "I banish the Light Attribute 'Arisen Gaia the Fierce Knight' and the Dark Attribute 'Dark Magician Girl' from the grave!"
"Banish Light and Dark Attribute monsters?" Principal Samejima quickly linked this to something, "This summon condition, could it be..."
"Heaven and earth open! Using the souls of light and darkness as sacrifices, descend into the chaos field, the legendary strongest warrior—
—Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning!!"
Heaven-piercing golden light, thunder roared from beyond the skies. The blue armored warrior landed forcefully, its elaborate armor and long sword glistening with a faint glow, its stern face seemingly cast from steel, mastering the wind and thunder around.
Open the heavens and earth Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning!
[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, Attack Power 3000]
"Oh! The legendary warrior!" Principal Samejima continued professional commentary, "The legendary strongest warrior has the pioneering power to sweep away any obstacles!"
Youyu waved his hand: "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning's effect, once per turn can banish a monster on the field from the game."
The warrior raised his sword, sword light slashed down, golden crescent-shaped brilliance spilled forth, bending space, its brewing was enough to split space into two halves, the chaos sword qi!
Chaos Dimension Slash!
"A direct banishing makes even the highest attack power meaningless!" Principal Samejima said, "Professor Cronos is in some danger now."
"Targeting 'Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem', Envoy of the Beginning effect activates..."
"Wait! But before your effect activates, this card has already activated, Norne!" Professor Cronos still had a countermeasure, "Quick-Play Magic - Forbidden Dress! Choose a monster on the field, that monster's attack power decreases by 600, but this turn it cannot be the target of effects, and will not be destroyed by effects.
The one I choose, of course, is 'Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem', Norne!"
[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, Attack Power 8800 → Attack Power 8200]
The protection from the 'Forbidden' series Magic Card blocked like a steel wall. The Chaos Warrior's action halted, the brewing 'Chaos Dimension Slash' could not continue to be unleashed.
If the effect continues, 'Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem' can't be chosen as the effect target, then with no other monsters to choose from on the field, it's the Chaos Warrior himself who would be counterattacked by the sword qi and banished to the dimension outside.
Youyu appreciated this teacher even more, finding him more and more as someone delayed by various plot twists and the harmonious image of a star.
To even dissolve the 'Chaos Dimension Slash', indeed not bad.
However...
"Then activate the Magic Card 'Fusion Recovery'." Youyu said, "Retrieve 'Dark Magician' and the Magic Card 'Fusion' sent to the graveyard as fusion material back to your hand."
"Uh?" Cronos was stunned, "But isn't 'Dark Magician' supposed to have already been banished by 'Necro Fusion'...?"
"That was the 'Dark Magician' used as fusion material for 'Dark Cavalry.' But did you forget? I have another 'Dark Magician' in my graveyard."
Youyu retrieved the 'Dark Magician' card from the graveyard section of the Duel Disc, waved it at Cronos, and smiled.
"This one was sent to the graveyard as fusion material for 'The Dark Magicians.'
Cronos exclaimed in surprise, "Mamma mia! Completely forgot such a thing existed in Norne!"
"Magic Card 'Fusion'! Fuse the 'Dark Magician' in your hand with the Warrior-Type 'Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning' on the field!"
The vortex of fusion appeared in mid-air, the magician and legendary warrior both lifted off the ground, transformed into beams of light shooting into the vortex, the surging waves like a flood bursting banks.
"The fusion requirement is, Dark Magician plus any Warrior-Type Monster, Fusion Summon!
The spells of Black Magic combine with the courage of the warrior, banish the darkness, Magic Knight, descend for the third time—
—Dark Cavalry, Summon!!!"
