Chapter 610: The Unsealing Ritual Failed!?
"The Legendary Exodia Incarnate, descend!"
Priest Simon's voice sounded like a bell but was soon drowned out by the louder wind.
The entire treasure house was shaking, and golden air currents swirled in the space. An oversized golden magic array appeared behind the priest, and a golden body as golden as wheat emerged from the huge magic array with the sound of a pinging chain.
A huge figure got out of the magic circle, the lines of his body seemed unreal. He dragged eye-catching golden chains all over his body, and the friction of the chains gave off brilliant sparks of magic power.
[The Legendary Exodia Incarnate, ATK ?]
At that moment, even Bakura was almost frightened and ran away.
"Exodia!?" he exclaimed, "How!?"
Doesn't this thing require all five parts to be in the hand to unseal?
"No, it's not Exodia." Bakura quickly regained his senses.
Although it looked very similar in posture, and the oppressive force of the aura was also suffocating, it was still different from the real Exodia himself.
"The Legendary Exodia Incarnate is the afterimage of Exodia's power." Priest Simon said solemnly, "He possesses part of Exodia's power, and he draws magic power from the sealed parts sleeping in the cemetery!"
The Legendary Exodia Incarnate: Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing 1 "Forbidden One" monster, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card gains 1000 ATK for each "Forbidden One" monster in your Graveyard.
Now all five parts were sleeping in Simon's graveyard, so the attack power of The Legendary Exodia Incarnate would soar by 5,000 points in one breath!
[The Legendary Exodia Incarnate, ATK ? → ATK 5000]
"Attack power…5000!?" Bakura's expression was like biting his tongue after eating garlic.
"Die under the magic power of Exodia!" Simon shouted, "The Legendary Exodia Incarnate, attack Zombino!"
The golden Egyptian defender waved his arms, and the iron chain embellished with golden light flew in front of him. A magic circle emerged between his staggered palms. The magic circle rotated, and the burst of golden light was like a cannon bombardment!
The zombie boy was instantly annihilated under the magic bombardment and was turned into ashes without a chance to resist.
"Uhhhhh!!"
This bombardment came from the power of Exodia, even the Great Evil God couldn't stand the pain of the magic power hitting the body. Bakura was blown away with an exaggerated expression (commonly known as face art), and rolled several times on the ground like a rag.
[Bakura, LP 3700 → LP 700]
Bakura rolled a few times, and there was a muffled "bang" when the spine and a gilded pillar collided. He was lying on the ground and raised his hand before he could get up.
"Open the set card: Trap Card – The Grave of Enkindling!" Bakura shouted, "When a monster I control is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: Each player targets 1 monster in their GY; each player Special Summons their monster in Defense Position, but those monsters cannot change their battle positions!"
Simon frowned and quickly selected the stone slab to be revived from the cemetery.
"I resurrect the 'Witch of the Black Forest'."
Bakura said: "I choose 'Zombino'!"
The witch in a black robe and the zombie boy with an ax on his head each returned to their master's field, adopting defensive postures.
[Witch of the Black Forest, DEF 1200]
[Zombino, DEF 0]
"Set another slab, and this round ends."
Simon paused, followed by a sudden rise in tone, and raised his hand to point at the huge golden mage in front of him.
"The ability of The Legendary Exodia Incarnate is activated! The seal is lifted – the first level!"
The image of the golden right hand bound by the iron chain flashed briefly, and as the stone slab flew out of the black vortex underground, it returned to Simon.
"Nani?" Bakura's pupils shrank and he quickly figured out the situation, "So that's the case, no wonder it's called 'Exodia Incarnate'… This monster was made for the ceremony to lift the seal of Exodia, right?"
The Legendary Exodia Incarnate: Once per turn, during your End Phase: Add 1 "Forbidden One" monster from your Graveyard to your hand.
What Simon recovered from the cemetery here was the "Right Arm of the Forbidden One".
[The Legendary Exodia Incarnate, ATK 5000 → ATK 4000]
"I see, as the number of Exodia parts in the cemetery decreases, his power will also decrease." Bakura sneered, "As Exodia's seal is further lifted, the power of the incarnation will also become weaker…is that the case?"
Once I know the details, there is nothing to be afraid of.
All I have to do is win before the parts of Exodia are gathered!
"My turn!"
The LP value dropped sharply to only 700 in one breath, but Bakura remained stable and did not panic at all. He sneered, and hit a stone slab again.
"Activate the Spell Card from my hand – Monster Reborn! Resurrect a monster in the graveyard!"
Simon frowned: "There should be no monster in the cemetery that can defeat the 'The Legendary Exodia Incarnate'…"
But at this point, the old priest's words stopped.
Many cards were discarded through the trap card "Multiple Destruction", as well as the "Card Destruction" activated by Simon… Until now, a large amount of resources have been accumulated in the Bakura's GY, so it was not surprising that there was something sleeping in it.
Sure enough, Bakura's pupils suddenly dilated and he shouted loudly: "Resurrection from the underworld, swallowing up the heaven and earth and wiping out all things——
——The Wicked Eraser! ! ! "
The pitch-black frenzy surged, and the entire palace was suddenly as black as ink. The Wicked God's silver-white claws tore through the darkness, and his hideous and huge body came out. His flicking tail was like a long steel whip breaking the golden stone pillar.
The Wicked Eraser, summon!
The dark field full of evil aura opened up, and it collided with the magic domain of The Legendary Exodia Incarnate, and it seemed evenly matched for a while.
"This is… the Wicked God." Even the well-informed priest Simon was a little lost.
"Eraser's attack power is equal to the number of cards on the opponent's field x 1000 points. Now you have four cards in total on the field!"
[The Wicked Eraser, ATK 4000]
"The same attack power as The Legendary Exodia Incarnate." Simon looked solemn, "Do you want to die together?"
"Who wants to die together with you?" Bakura sneered, "Don't be too complacent, old guy! I want to activate this Spell Card from my hand, the secret of immortality, the forbidden book that records the forbidden spell – —
——Book of Life! "
It was a thick ancient book with a hard green cover, decorated with exquisite patterns, and the cover was engraved with various ancient patterns and shapes.
"The first effect of 'Book of Life' – I can Special Summon a Zombie monster from the GY. I resurrected 'Skull Conductor'!"
The uniformed zombie conductor revived on the field under the power of forbidden magic. His face was withered, but he grinned with a frightening smile and waved an ink-colored baton in his hand.
[Skull Conductor, ATK 2000]
"Then there is the follow-up effect recorded in the 'Book of Life'. This card can select a monster in the opponent's graveyard and remove it from the game!" The corner of Bakura's mouth raised, "The one I want to choose is of course this guy… ..
… 'Exodia the Forbidden One'! "
Simon: "!"
The old priest's face trembled, and sweat began to ooze from his forehead.
He knew exactly what that meant.
This meant that the head part of Exodia would be directly exiled from this game by this forbidden spell, and would no longer have anything to do with this game.
It also meant that he may never be able to complete the ritual of unsealing Exodia in this game.
Bakura raised his head and laughed.
"Farewell, Exodia!"
