With the first singularity being incinerated, a large number of Servant cards in Gudako's deck were forcibly sent to the Graveyard, suddenly increasing the number of Servant cards in the Graveyard by more than a dozen.
Although the Graveyard effects were sealed during the current turn, everything would get better as long as it became her turn. The expression on Gudako's face clearly betrayed her inner thoughts.
"Do you think it's over with this? You're too naive! The effect of [I's Seat, Molten Ore Furnace Naberius]! This card can be activated when there are 5 or more cards in the opponent's Graveyard. It can banish 5 cards from the opponent's Graveyard and Special Summon itself to the field in Attack Position!" Goetia had piled up cards in the opponent's Graveyard just to use the effect of his Demon God Pillar. It was lucky that Gudako had taken the first move, otherwise she would have been at a considerable disadvantage. "Now, say goodbye to your companions!"
As the Spirit Origins in the Graveyard dissipated, a massive black pillar rose from the ground. Although it was named [The 24th Pillar, Naberius], it was actually an integration of 8 Demon God Pillars stationed at the Molten Ore Furnace.
[Naberius]'s 11-Star Attack Power?
"[Naberius]'s effect! When this card is Special Summoned by its own effect, it gains 1000 Attack Power for each Servant card banished! And since all the cards I banished were Servants, [Naberius]'s Attack Power becomes 5000!"
[Naberius] Attack Power? → 5000
"It reached Romulus's Attack Power in an instant!" Gudako was shocked. At this point, [Romulus] could basically only be defeated by battle destruction. She had originally thought that a value of 5000 was already quite high.
"Hahahahaha, it's too early for you to be surprised! [Naberius]'s effect! Once per turn, by paying 1000 of the opponent's Life Points, draw two cards!" Goetia waved his hand grandly, activating an effect similar to Pot of Greed.
"Ugh!!!" The feeling of Life Points draining was not pleasant. Gudako clutched her chest and watched helplessly as her opponent added two more cards to his hand.
Fujimaru Ritsuka LP4000 → LP3000
"[II / Information Office Flauros]'s effect! When this card is added to the hand by the effect of a [Demon God Pillar] related Servant, it can be Special Summoned from the hand!" Another Demon God Pillar was simply summoned to the field.
[Flauros] 11-Star Attack Power?
"Another Attack Power that's not determined..." Gudako had a bad feeling. This kind of value could easily reach an extremely high number. Or it might have an annoying effect.
"A keen observation!" Goetia praised slightly. "[Flauros]'s effect: It gains Attack Power equal to the number of cards on the opponent's field multiplied by 1000! You have a total of four cards on your field, so [Flauros]'s Attack Power becomes 4000!"
[Flauros] Attack Power? → 4000
"It's not over yet! [Flauros]'s effect: While this card is on the field in face-up position, during my turn, the effects of the opponent's Spell and Trap Cards cannot be activated!"
"What!" Gudako's face turned pale. It was already a done deal that [Romulus] would be destroyed by battle. She could still rely on the cards in her Backrow to block the attack and hold out until the next turn. If Spell and Trap Cards were locked down!
"Yes, as long as I launch an attack, you're finished!" Goetia nodded with satisfaction. A mere Human Master was still too far beneath him. If it were a true Grand Deck, he might find it a bit troublesome, but even if Gudako just loved summoning Heroic Spirits, she couldn't reach the level of a Grand. "But, even if you're just an insect, you're the very last one. Even if you're disgusting, it's still worth commemorating. Then, let me show you some respect. [Flauros]'s effect: once per turn, destroy all cards on the opponent's Backrow!"
The Demon God Pillar's eye emitted a scorching beam, destroying all the cards in Gudako's Backrow.
[Romulus] Attack Power 5000 → 4000 [Flauros] Attack Power 4000 → 1000
Gudako's face grew even paler. Because the Spell Cards in her Backrow were destroyed, Romulus's Attack Power reverted to its original value, making it even more impossible to withstand the next attack.
"Finally, [III / Observation Office Forneus]'s effect: this card can be Normal Summoned without a Tribute, but on the turn it is summoned this way, its effect cannot be activated." The third Demon God Pillar was once again summoned to the field.
[Forneus] 11 Stars, Attack Power?
"This card's Attack Power becomes the number of cards in my hand * 1000. Since this effect doesn't need to be activated, [Forneus]'s Attack Power will still change!" Goetia summoned this card specifically to deal extra damage. The fact that its effect couldn't be activated didn't matter; being able to deal damage was enough.
[Forneus] Attack Power ? → 4000
"Now, enter the Battle Phase. The last Human Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka, say goodbye to this world!" Goetia waved his hand grandly and began his attack.
"First is [Naberius]'s attack! Romulus, you meddling fool, get back to the Throne of Heroes!"
"Dream on! I activate [Romulus]'s effect. By banishing one [Rome]-related card from the Graveyard as a substitute, [Romulus] will not be destroyed by battle!" She had to find a way to survive. If [Romulus] was destroyed, Gudako's remaining Life Points wouldn't be able to withstand the next hit. Since this was an effect activated on the field, not in the Graveyard, it wasn't affected by the restriction on activating effects from the Graveyard.
"Hahaha, I knew it wouldn't be that simple! Go ahead, check your Graveyard again. Are there any Roman Servants left?" Goetia understood the importance of Archetypes. Since [Romulus] was on the field, he was bound to have connections with other Roman Servants. "I have already banished all the Roman Servants! Your struggles are utterly futile!"
"That is fine. I don't necessarily need Servants!" Gudako selected that green card. "I activate [Impeachment of the Senate]!"
"A Spell Card can still activate? It seems I was too careless." Goetia snorted. To ensure [Naberius]'s stats, he had to banish five Servants to reach its maximum value, so the result didn't change. "Even so, you will still have to take these 1000 points of damage!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka LP 3000 → LP 2000
In just a single exchange, Gudako's Life Points were already halved. However, it now seemed likely that she could survive until her next turn.
"Now, [Forneus]'s attack!" This time, all the Roman cards in the Graveyard were exhausted. Gudako could only watch helplessly as the God Ancestor and [Forneus] perished together.
"Finally, [Flauros]'s attack!" Goetia was slightly dissatisfied. If he hadn't blasted the backrow, would it be over already?
