The effect of the Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond is that once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can send 1 face-up "Gem-Knight" monster from your field to the Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 "Gem-Knight" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its summoning conditions.
On the field, Brilliant Diamond covered herself with a cloak.
When the cloak was lifted again, the person inside had become Radiant Diamond, wielding a giant seven-colored gem sword.
White Crystal Captain, with a new disguise, returned to the stage!
“As the Gem-Knight King, Radiant Diamond has the ability to gain the power of his companions in the Graveyard. This card’s ATK increases by 100 x the number of “Gem” monsters in your Graveyard.”
In You Xuan’s Graveyard were Gem Armadillo x2, Gem-Knight Lapis x3, Gem-Knight Jade, Gem-Knight Obsidian x2, Gem-Knight White Crystal, Gem-Knight Emerald, Gem-Knight Amethyst, Gem-Knight Brilliant Diamond.
Except for Gem-Knight Blue Topaz, which was excluded by Gem-Knight Fusion, You Xuan’s Graveyard had twelve Gem monsters in total.
Gem-Knight King Radiant Diamond ATK: 2900→4100
“4100 ATK!”
The Rare Card Hunter swallowed nervously, as if he had seen a monster. He tried to remain calm and said: “But don’t forget, according to the rules, Fusion Summoned monsters cannot attack this turn, even if you… ”
“Of course, I haven’t forgotten the rules. As for whether they’ll work or not, you can feel it yourself. Battle Phase!”
You Xuan didn’t bother with explanations, directly entering the Battle Phase and commanding Gem-Knight King Radiant Diamond to attack.
Radiant Diamond’s seven-colored gem-encrusted long sword shone brightly. With the swing of the sword, the seven-colored glow surged like a tidal wave, directly engulfing the Rare Card Hunter.
“Why, how is this possible!”
The Rare Card Hunter, swallowed by the seven-colored glow, suffered a heavy blow.
He lost control of his body, falling backward and crashing heavily against the wall of the street, his Duel Disk’s cards scattering across the ground.
【Rare Card Hunter LP 4000→LP 0】
Of course, Radiant Diamond could attack directly. It wasn’t You Xuan making things up or breaking the duel rules. He didn’t have that kind of power.
Even Kaiba, who had established the Duel City Grand Tournament’s rules, wouldn’t break his own rules during a duel.
The effect of Gem-Knight Lady Brilliant Diamond is to release a “Gem-Knight” monster on the field and Special Summon a “Gem-Knight” Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck.
Note that this is a Special Summon, not a Fusion Summon.
Therefore, this Special Summon is not considered a normal appearance or a Fusion Summon.
The principle is the same as when you use “Call of the Haunted” to summon a monster from the Graveyard. You can attack with it in the same turn.
The Rare Card Hunter, who couldn’t understand even this basic point, clearly didn’t look closely at the effect of his own monster. Or, perhaps, he just didn’t understand the game rules well enough.
You Xuan didn’t bother explaining further. He directly attacked the player and ended the battle.
“According to the Duel City Grand Tournament’s card betting rules, your rare cards are mine.”
You Xuan walked towards the Rare Card Hunter, who was lying on the ground unconscious, and pulled his deck from his Duel Disk.
You Xuan had no sympathy for the evil organization, Gurus, so he held back no punches during the battle.
The power of card spirits erupted, manifesting as physical damage.
However, You Xuan’s power wasn’t very strong, unlike those who wielded the Millennium Items.
Ability users also had different levels of strength. The strong ones, like those who possessed Millennium Items, could directly seal people into cards, shattering their hearts and minds. Some even had the power to transcend the boundaries of time and space, crossing dimensions and fusing worlds.
The weak ones could only inflict physical damage, with limited destructive power.
Without a doubt, the most valuable cards in the Rare Card Hunter’s deck were the Exodia pieces.
He had a full set of three for each of the five sealed pieces. Looking at these cards, You Xuan felt that the truly useful card was Dark Magician.
In his cards, there were The Tricky and Black Forest Witch.
Both cards could search for pieces when they were sent to the Graveyard. This made him think about building a special victory deck.
“They are all fake cards, useless.”
However, when he placed these cards in his Duel Disk, it issued an alarm, ejecting all the cards.
Unidentified pirated cards could not be added to his Duel Disk.
“You call yourself a Rare Card Hunter, but you don’t even have a single rare card? Shame on you!”
You Xuan simply tore up the scraps of paper. The Gurus’ Duel Disks were probably specially treated to identify these fake cards.
But these things were useless to him. Returning them to Gurus and aiding them in their evil deeds was out of the question. It was better to just tear them up.
Seeing You Xuan tear up his deck with disdain, the Rare Card Hunter, lying on the ground, nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
“Damn it! Don’t think that the duel is over just because you won. He has a lot of rare cards on him. Go and snatch them!”
The Rare Card Hunter let out a hysterical roar.
In the dimly lit street, men in black robes emerged from the shadows on both sides. Clearly, these were also Gurus members lying in ambush.
You Xuan remembered that in the original plot, Joey had been defeated by the Rare Card Hunter and, despite being knocked out, didn’t become unconscious.
He was beaten up by several Gurus members, who forcibly stole his Red-Eyes Black Dragon. It was just like this situation.
They used fake cards, regardless of whether they won or lost. If they wanted rare cards, they’d use force to take them. The Gurus’ despicable methods were evident.
“Good. After confirming their actions firsthand, I have no qualms about fighting back.”
Faced with being surrounded, You Xuan didn’t show any panic.
White Crystal Captain had already lent him his power.
This was a battle with no suspense whatsoever. With the power of card spirits, You Xuan transformed into a street fighter.
The Gurus’ thugs couldn’t withstand a single blow from him.
He literally punched them out one by one.
“Monster, monster!”
Seeing his comrades knocked out one by one, the Rare Card Hunter, lying on the ground, tried to crawl away. You Xuan was approaching him step by step.
Suddenly, the Rare Card Hunter stopped his pathetic crawling. He stood up again, in a strange and awkward movement, as if lifted by an invisible hand.
His eyes were now rolled back, and a golden light appeared on his forehead, forming the shape of an eye.
“Hmm? Remote mental control.”
Seeing the changes in the Rare Card Hunter, You Xuan stopped in his tracks.
“Not bad. You can actually see through my methods. You have some skill after all. It’s worth meeting you this way.”
A young man’s voice, different from the Rare Card Hunter’s, emerged from him.
