Can I become the Yu-Gi-Oh by summoning the Flame Swordsman?

"Duel!" "Duel!"

"I'll attack first." Bai Chu was the first to draw a card, taking the initiative. "Come on, I'll use the 7-level [Pendulum Swordsman of Flame] to set it to the Pendulum area.

By activating its Pendulum effect, you can destroy this card, select 1 Level 4 or lower "Flame Swordsman" monster other than a card with the same name from your Deck or Graveyard, and add it to your hand.

I choose to add 1 [Flame Guardian Swordsman] from the deck to my hand and Normal Summon it. Come out, [Flame Guardian Swordsman] (Flame/★4/Warrior/Effect/1800/1600)

When [Flame Guardian Swordsman] is successfully summoned, the effect is activated. You can select 1 "Chained Shield" from your deck and set it on your field. After that, this card changes to Defense Position.

Finally, I cover two cards and the turn ends."

"You are really a brat who only knows how to talk on paper. Watch out, it's my turn, draw a card!" Ye Xu said disdainfully: "First, I summon a monster, [Shadow Ghoul] (Dark/★4/Demon/Effect/1800/0)

Activate the effect of [Shadow Ghoul], and once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can change this card's ATK to 1, and Special Summon 1 "Shadow" monster with 0 ATK from your hand.

I choose to Special Summon Monster, [Shadow Wanderer] (Dark/★4/Demon/Effect/0/500)"

Bai Chu instantly became alert: "There are two level 4 monsters coming..."

"Brat, open your eyes and watch! I stacked the level 4 [Shadow Ghoul] and [Shadow Wanderer] to build a stacked light network. The rebellious fangs from the dark darkness that resist the power of stupidity, descend here! Xyz Summon! Tier 4, [Dark Rebellious Xyz Dragon] (Dark/☆4/Dragon/Xyz/Effect/2500/2000)"

As the excessive vortex spread, dense dark clouds spread from above the clouds, countless purple-black lightning fell from the sky, and everyone's vision darkened at this moment.

A loud dragon roar reached everyone's ears, and then a black dragon with a particularly prominent chin swooped down from the sky, carrying purple-black lightning that kept crackling and blasting the air along the way, and landed steadily on Ye Xu's field at an invisible speed.

"The attack power is only 2500?" Bai Chu exclaimed: "This monster, whose ability is not outstanding, actually has such a destructive momentum, which is really abnormal.

However, it is impossible to break through my defense with momentum alone. Although the defense of [Flame Guardian Swordsman] is only 1600, I can cover it with 1 [Chain Spike Shield] through its effect.

Normally, the Trap Card, [Chained Shield], becomes an Equipment Card for a monster after being activated, increasing the equipped monster's attack by 500. And when the equipped monster fights in Defense Position, its defense can be increased by the same amount as its attack.

Therefore, when [Flame Guardian Swordsman] fights, his attack power is 2300 and his defense power is 3900, far exceeding the attack power of [Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon], and he is not afraid of your monster at all."

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Xu said disapprovingly: "Then, I will activate the effect of [Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon], which can remove 2 Xyz materials from this card, select 1 face-up monster on the opponent's field, and the attack power of that monster will be halved, and then the attack power of this card will be increased by that amount.

Go, [Dark Rebellion Ultra Dragon], rebel unleashed! "

The wings behind [Dark Rebellious Overdrive Dragon] spread out, and countless purple-black lightning accumulated behind it. As [Dark Rebellious Overdrive Dragon] roared with all its might, the purple-black lightning broke through the air like a poisonous snake coming out of a cave, and headed straight towards Bai Chu's field.

"Do we need to take away half of the attack power of [Flame Guardian Swordsman]?" Bai Chu calculated: "The attack power of [Flame Guardian Swordsman] is 1800. After half of it is taken away, if the two monsters fight again, the defense power of [Flame Guardian Swordsman] is 3000, while the attack power of [Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon] is 3400, so it will be exceeded.

However, I won't let that happen. I activate the monster effect of [Flame Guardian Swordsman], and once per turn, when the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster targeting this card is activated, you can negate that effect and send 1 Warrior-Type monster from your deck to the Graveyard.

I choose to send 1 Warrior-Type monster from my deck to the Graveyard and negate the effect of [Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon].

"Even if my monster's effect is negated, it's useless!" Ye Xu was not moved at all. "I also chain the effect of [Flame Guardian Swordsman] and activate the Quick Attack Spell Card, [Wind].

This card can only be activated after Chain 3. You can destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field. If the effects of the same card are activated multiple times in the same chain, this card cannot be activated. I choose to destroy the [Chained Spike Shield] that is currently covering it.

"A feint to the east and attack in the west?" Bai Chu frowned, staring at an unknown gust of cold wind that blew away the cover card on his field.

Without the [Chained Shield], [Guardian Swordsman of Fire] would not be a match for [Dark Rebellious Xyz Dragon].

"Entering my battle phase, I attack [Flame Guardian Swordsman] (DEF2500) with [Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon] (ATK1600), and Rebellion Lightning Defiance!"

[Dark Rebellious Xyz Dragon] spread its wings again, summoning powerful thunder to continuously bombard Bai Chu's field. [Guardian Swordsman of Flame] opened his arms and used his body to protect Bai Chu, but he himself died in the thunder.

"Because [Flame Guardian Swordsman] is in defense mode, I cannot take combat damage."

"Humph, this is just a small test, brat. When I use my full strength, you will be in trouble." Ye Xu said confidently: "My combat phase is over, and three cards are covered. The turn is over."

"Can I wait until you can use your full strength?" Bai Chu also sneered. "The effect of your [Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon] failed to activate, and the attack power is still only 2500. Now you don't even have Xyz materials. Next, I will avenge [Flame Guardian Swordsman]. It's my turn, draw a card!"

"Wait, brat." Ye Xu laughed and said, "At this moment, I activate the monster effect of [Shadow Wanderer] in the graveyard. If this card is sent to the graveyard, during the next opponent's standby phase, I can Special Summon 1 [Shadow] monster from my deck other than a card with the same name.

According to this effect, I choose to Special Summon a monster in Attack Position, [Shadow Will-O'-the-Wisp] (Dark/★1/Demon-Type/Effect/0/0)

When [Shadow Will-O'-Wisp] is successfully summoned or Special Summoned, you can select 1 "Shadow" monster on your field or in your Graveyard other than this card, and change this card's Level to the same as that monster's Level. Therefore, [Shadow Will-O'-Wisp]'s Level becomes 4*.

"A monster with 0 attack power in attack position? Is it deliberately luring me to attack?" Bai Chu immediately became alert and looked at Ye Xu's three face-up cards. "And he even specially raised its level to 4 stars. Is he preparing for another Xyz Summon next time?"

"You little brat, I'll tell you something. If a [Shadow Will-O'-Wisp] is in face-up attack position on the field and is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, it will destroy the monster that destroyed this card. What do you think? Be careful when making your choice."
