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

"I'll attack first!" Yang Hong shouted, pulling out a few dark cards from his deck. "Bai Chu, I'm going to use the dark power I just got to torture you. If I don't let you kneel down and beg me to give you a quick death, I'm being soft-hearted.

First, I activate the effect of a monster in my hand, [Evil Eye of Princess of Flower Disaster], and by discarding this card from my hand, I can Special Summon 1 Insect-Type, Plant-Type, or Reptile-Type monster from my hand.

I choose to Special Summon Monster, [Sword Master_Sauron] (Dark/★4/Reptile/Effect/1000/1000)"

Although his race is reptilian, what Yang Hong appeared on the field was a red-haired warrior holding a fiery red sword. A fire snake in the shape of flames was wrapped around the sword. It was not inappropriate to call him the "Swordsman of Fire". Only his exposed feet were the animal feet of a reptile similar to a lizard or turtle.

"This monster... is a little bit strange?"

"Open your eyes and look carefully, Bai Chu, this is my dear friend, Yu Man's [Martial God] deck discarded its hypocritical and useless mask and revealed its true appearance, the [Flying Sword] deck.

We were brothers who stood together and supported each other, but your appearance changed everything and caused me to part ways with him. Today we say goodbye forever."

Yang Hong stroked the card, as if recalling the past of an old friend, "However, our decks are still connected, and we can work together to defeat you, the source of all evil, Bai Chu!"

Bai Chu shouted, "Shut up! Yu Man has lived an upright life and hates evil. How could I be in league with a rat like you?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Yang Hong waved his hand and said, "When [Sword Master] is summoned, special summoned, or released, the effect is activated! I can add 1 [Sword Master] magic/trap card from my deck to my hand.

I choose to add a Ritual Magic Card, [Sword Ritual], from my deck to my hand.

"Ritual magic card? Is his deck mainly based on ritual summoning tactics?" Bai Chu looked down at the record of the previous duel that popped up on the duel disk. "But in the duel between him and Yu Man just now, he didn't use any cards related to ritual summoning at all..."

"After that, I Normal Summon a monster, [Lamia] (Dark/★4/Reptile-Type/Effect/1300/1500). If this card is Normal Summoned/Special Summoned successfully, you can add 1 Reptile-Type/Level 8 monster from your deck to your hand.

I choose, and add a Ritual Monster, [Budu Soul Sword], from my deck to my hand. "

Bai Chu was shocked: "You have collected all the ritual magic cards and ritual monsters so quickly?"

"That's right, Bai Chu, come and witness the ceremony of the birth of the great new king! I activate the ritual magic card, [Sword Ritual]. The following two cards with the same effect can each be used once per turn.

1. This card can Tribute Reptile-Type Monsters from your hand or field whose total Level is the same as the Ritual Summoned Monster, and Ritual Summon Reptile-Type Ritual Monster from your Deck.

Second, you can release up to 2 Reptile-Type monsters from your hand, deck, or field whose total level is the same as the monster you Ritual Summon, and Ritual Summon 1 Reptile-Type Ritual Monster from your hand."

Bai Chu's eyes widened. "Can I choose a ritual offering from my deck? Or a ritual monster from my deck? What kind of rogue effect is this?"

"Now, I'm going to use the second effect," Yang Hong took out two cards from the deck: "I will release the two 2-star monsters in the deck, [Yujianzun_Kusanagi] and [Yadoshi] as sacrifices, and ritual summon! Come out, [Budu Mikyouken] (Dark/★2/Reptile/Ritual/Effect/4/8)"

[Yu Jian Ming_Zuo Shi] used a sword to split the tent where the two were, and saw that the outside world had been covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a monster with red hair poked its head out from the clouds, spewing flames towards the ground.

"It's on fire! It's on fire! Where does the fire come from?"

"It's fire from the sky!"

The soldiers, not knowing what was going on, were training when they saw a huge fire coming towards them. There was no escape from it. Many people were immediately killed in the fire, and screams and wails were heard everywhere.

[Sword Controlling_Sausage] threw the red sword in his hand and stabbed it into the clouds. The monster then cried out in pain and fell from the sky. It looked like a lizard with a red shell on its back. In the center of the shell was inserted the sword thrown by [Sword Controlling_Sausage], so it obeyed his orders.

"Defense strength 3400... It's a very hard shell. But, do you plan to use it to block my attacks?"

"My development has just begun. White Cluster, by the effect of the monster [Yadoshi] sent to the Graveyard, if this card is sent to the Graveyard by an effect, you can Special Summon this card. If this card Special Summoned by this effect leaves the field, banish it.

Revive! [Yadoshi] (Water/★4/Reptile/Effect/500/600)"

Also, when [Sword Master_Kusanagi] is Summoned/Special Summoned, or Released, I can add 1 "Sword Master" card other than "Sword Master_Kusanagi" from my Graveyard/Exiled to my hand.

I choose to add the ritual magic card [Sword Ritual] from the graveyard to my hand and activate it!

This time, I will use the first effect, liberating the monster on the field to ritually summon the Ritual Monster in the deck.

I choose to release the Level 8 Ritual Monster, [Budu Gokun Sword] as a sacrifice!

The ancient evil god who descended on the waves that swallowed the sky, please enjoy the sacrifice and my heart, sign a contract with me to destroy the order, come out! [Tian Congyun Yujian] (Dark/★8/Reptile/Ritual/Effect/3200/800)"

The dark clouds in the sky were rolling violently, and snake heads appeared one after another from them. These strange giant snakes had a pair of golden horns on their heads. There were a total of eight heads spewing snake tongues in all directions, looking down at the earth arrogantly above the clouds.

"Hmm?" Bai Chu suddenly felt puzzled. "If your ultimate goal is to ritually summon this monster, then why don't you just take this card from the beginning and do it in one go? Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

"That's because - when the Ritual Monster [Budo Soul Sword] is released, the effect is activated! I can add 1 "Sword" card other than "Budo Soul Sword" from my deck to my hand. After that, I can Special Summon this card.

I choose to add a Normal Trap Card, [Sword Purification], from my deck to my hand, and revive [Budo Soul Sword].

"There are five monsters standing on the field, and two Ritual Monsters are gathered on the field... This guy is really powerful."

"White Cluster, the Ritual Summoning time is over, and now it's Link Summoning time. The summoning conditions are 2 monsters including Insect, Plant, and Reptile monsters.

I set the [Yadoshi] and [Lamia] on the field to the link mark, loop together, link summon! Come out, link2, [Leaf of the Warrior Skull] (Fire/Plant/Link/Effect/1600)

The effect of the monster of [Leaf of the Warrior Skull], once per turn, I can select 1 "Leaf of the Warrior" monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it in Defense Position. I choose to Special Summon [Leaf of the Warrior Evil Eye] in the Graveyard.

Next, the summoning conditions are 2 or more monsters including Insect-Type, Plant-Type, and Reptile-Type monsters. I will set the link monsters of link2 on the field, [Skull of the Warrior of the Flower Disaster] and [Evil Eye of the Princess of the Flower Disaster] to the link mark!

Link Summon, come out! link3, [Leaf of the Wrath of the Gods] (Wind/Insect/Link/Effect/2300)

When the Link Monster, [Skull of the Warrior of the Flower Disaster], is in the Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card by returning 1 Insect-Type, Plant-Type, or Reptile-Type monster on your field to the bottom of your Deck.

I choose to return [Sword Master_Saur] to the deck and revive [Leaf of the Warrior Skull] (ATK 1900).

Finally, there is the monster effect of [Buddha's Worshiper]. This card can banish 2 Insect-Type, Plant-Type, or Reptile-Type monsters from your Graveyard, and add 1 "Buddha" Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.

I chose to banish the monsters in the graveyard, [Evil Eye of Princess of Raven] and [Lamia], and add the Normal Trap Card [Raven's Great Wheel of Hunting Dance] from the deck to my hand.

When [Evil Eye of Princess of Disaster] in the Graveyard is banished, the effect is activated! At the end of this turn, you draw from your deck the number of Insect-Type, Plant-Type, and Reptile-Type monsters on your field.

In addition, when [Lamia] is banished, you can select 1 Reptile-Type monster on your field. I chose [Budo Soul Sword], and that monster cannot be destroyed by effects until the end of the next turn.

Finally, I cover 4 more cards and the turn ends.

According to the effect of [Evil Eyes of Princess of the Flower], I have a Reptile-type Ritual Monster, a Plant-type [Skull of the Flower Warrior], and an Insect-type [God of the Flower Worship] on my field, three monsters of different types, so I draw three cards from my deck! "
