After Jūda received the card from Kotō, he walked opposite Kagemaru and said, "Kagemaru, I will definitely crush your ambition." Kagemaru replied, "We'll see after the duel." Jūda and Kagemaru both activated their Duel Disks, and the DUEL began.\Jūda: "I take the first turn. My turn, draw a card, summon Clayman in defense position, set a card face-down, end my turn."\Kagemaru: "It seems in front of the Three Egyptian Gods you only have defense. My turn, draw a card, I set three trap cards."\ After saying this, he placed the three cards onto the Duel Disk.\Banjou couldn't help but say, "Has this man really dueled before?" Shou asked puzzledly, "Why?" Misawa: "When setting cards, there's no need to say whether they are trap cards or magic cards, right?"\Kagemaru: "This is a condition required to summon the illusory monsters."\Jūda: "Right, summoning an illusory monster does require conditions. This is similar to the summoning condition that Kotō gave me for the illusory monster." Kagemaru, seeing the curious looks on everyone around, said, "Since you all are so curious, let me show you the form of the illusory monster."\"I offer the three trap cards as tributes, come forth! First illusory monster, {Divine Flame King Yuria}!""Three Trap Cards transformed into three beams of light, converging behind the forest. Immediately after, a massive pillar of fire shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption! As the pillar of fire dissipated, a gigantic monster resembling a Sky Dragon appeared on Yumaru's field. Asuka and Caesar Shark Island both exclaimed in surprise, 'Is this the Phantom Demon?' When Divine Flame King appeared on the scene, the originally clear sky darkened, looking like the end of the world.\ Yumaru was very satisfied with everyone's reactions and proudly said, 'See that? This is the true form of the Phantom Demon. Now let me show you the power of Divine Flame King—Trap Destruction!' Julia opened her mouth wide, and with a 'hiss,' a strong sound wave attacked Judai, destroying Judai's Gecka. Moreover, Trap Cards were ineffective against the Phantom Demon, and Magic Cards only worked during the turn they were activated. The attack of [Divine Flame King Julia] is determined by the Trap Cards in the graveyard. There are three Trap Cards in my graveyard, so [Divine Flame King Julia]'s attack is 3000!"\ Yumaru opened his eyes and said, 'Burn that trash, Divine High-Energy!' Julia expelled a scorching pillar of fire, destroying the Clay Figures on Judai's field. At the same time, a pained expression appeared on Judai's face. The turn ended."\ Sho worriedly said from the side, 'Big brother, are you okay?' Asuka asked Hudo, 'Hudo, what is really going on?' Hudo replied, 'These are the rules of Dark Game; the pain in duels is real pain.' Caesar, hearing Hudo and Asuka's conversation, said, 'This situation is pretty bad; starting off against a 3000 attack monster right away.' Hudo replied, 'Don't worry, Judai has the best luck among us, and in the next turn, he will reverse the situation.' Hudo thought to himself, 'With me helping Judai draw the right cards, could he fail? Judai's luck has always been that good anyway.'\ Judai said, 'My turn. Draw.' Judai looked at the card he drew, then at the cards in his hand, and froze. This hand is perfect for summoning Lord Thunder Emperor. In an instant, Judai's expression became very serious as he set three Magic Cards."\ Shark Island said, 'Setting three Magic Cards? Could it be–' Hudo, watching the scene, laughed: 'Here it comes.'\ Judai exclaimed, 'I use the three Magic Cards set on the field as tributes. Appear! [Lord Thunder Emperor Hamon] [ATK 4000]!""Three spell cards transformed into ice crystals, gathering into an iceberg. The iceberg shattered, ice crystals flying everywhere, and a yellow monster with enormous wings stood up—[Thunder Emperor Hamon] had awakened!" Asuka said, "So this is the spell demon that Hodou took away..." At that moment, the elf of Manzamine called out anxiously from the side, "Big brother, something's wrong!" Manzamine turned his head and saw the elf's expression was very haggard. Worried, he asked, "Manzamine, what's wrong with you?!" Seeing this, everyone else also took out their decks, revealing shocked expressions.
Kagemaru chuckled: "Did you notice? This duel entered a dark duel from the moment the spell demon appeared! Apart from Jaden, whose duel is ongoing, your elf powers are being devoured by the spell demon."
Jaden: "I won't let you succeed. Thunder Emperor attacks Shining Flame Emperor, Lost Thunder Roar!" After a rumble of thunder, Shining Flame Emperor disappears from the field, then Thunder Emperor's effect activates: when it destroys a monster in battle, it inflicts 1000 points of damage to the opponent!" He set a card and ended his turn.
(Kagemaru LP 2000, Jaden LP 4000)
Kagemaru: "Is that your strength? It's my turn. Draw a card and activate Shining Flame Emperor's effect: discard a trap card from my hand and revive: Shining Flame Emperor."
Caesar: "Does it really have this effect? Not only revived but increased in attack too?"
Hodou: "Don't worry, both cards have the same attack, and Thunder Emperor's effect is still there."
Asuka: "Exactly."
Kagemaru: "Is that so? Activate the Spell Card Field Spell 'Lost Paradise.' When Shining Flame Emperor Yuria, Thunder Emperor Hamon, and Spell Demon King Labiell, one or more of them exist on the field, once per turn, you can add 2 cards from your deck to your hand. Then, activate the Normal Spell 'Martyr of the Spell Demon,' thank you, Jaden. If it weren't for you summoning Thunder Emperor, I wouldn't be able to summon the strongest spell demon so quickly. When Shining Flame Emperor Yuria and Thunder Emperor Hamon are on the field, send 2 cards from your hand to the graveyard to Special Summon three Spell Demon Martyrs!"
Three ugly monsters appeared, but their attack was zero!
Kagemaru: "Use the three Spell Demon Martyrs as tributes, rise! Appear in your strongest form! The strongest spell demon, [Spell Demon King Labiell]!"[Attack 4000 Defense 4000]"\ In the sky filled with dark clouds, a blue beam of light descended, connecting to the ground, creating a strong airflow that forced us to resist fiercely. The ground cracked, and a huge blue figure appeared; it was [Phantom Demon Emperor Rabieru] (Attack 4000)! The effect of Paradise Lost activated, drawing two cards, and looking at the two Phantoms before him, Jidai immediately felt twice the pressure.\ 'This is bad, at this rate, doesn't Jidai lose?' shouted Sho. Caesar: "That's right. There are no other cards on the field, Divine Flame Emperor and Descending Thunder Emperor are gone, and Phantom Demon Emperor is making a direct attack. Jidai, how are you going to get through this crisis?"\ Kagemaru: "Although I really want to deal with you this turn, since Yulia was successfully special summoned, as long as there is a monster on my field, Yulia cannot attack. I activate the Equip Spell Demon Axe on Phantom Demon Emperor (Attack 5000) to attack Descending Thunder Emperor (Attack 4000)." Jidai (LP 3000).
