His "Scrubbed Raid" went up in smoke. Antinomy shielded himself from the impact, his heart pounding.
"Its synergy with traps—blocking the opponent with a wall of traps, drawing strength from your own traps, while simultaneously being able to completely forbid the opponent from using their traps..."
He muttered to himself.
"What is this kind of monster?"
Kira grinned. "It’s not a monster—it’s a Sacred Beast!"
Even though it wasn’t technically a "God" card, saying the line still had an unforgettable impact.
Uria, evidently rather proud, let out a majestic cry.
What does it mean to be called a "Sacred Beast"?
The name "Uria" comes from "Uriel," one of Christianity’s four highest archangels. The name "Uria" means "God’s light," or "God’s fire"—and its standing among the Sacred Beasts is not low either.
Antinomy still didn’t know that Uria not only dominates enemy traps, but possesses the generic Sacred Beast ability of absolute trap immunity—it is totally unaffected by any trap effect, period.
Essentially—"I can trap you, but you can’t trap me." The perfect anti-meta Sacred Beast.
That’s why, between the three Sacred Beasts, Kira prefers Uria over Hamon or Raviel.
Uria’s fiery core ignited—energy pulsing from its throat to its jaws, each scale glowing as all liquid fire within its body surged up toward its head.
The instant its jaws opened, hurricane flames coiled outwards, warping even gravity along their path.
Antinomy gritted his teeth. "At this moment, I discard ’D.D. Crow’ from my hand! Its effect: banish one card from your graveyard, even during your opponent’s turn.
I banish one of your six trap cards from your graveyard!"
A crow swooped from Kira’s graveyard, snatching a trap card and flapping away into the rift of another dimension.
"Uria loses 1000 ATK!"
[Uria, ATK 6000 → 5000]
Kira raised an eyebrow but continued, "But Uria still has more attack than you—attack, continue!"
Tech Genus Blade Blaster immediately threw up a quantum shield—hexagonal honeycomb barriers came up in thousandths of a second. But Uria’s flames melted the defense instantly—the shield crumbling, the armor and skeleton of Blade Blaster melted into streams of liquid metal, then vanished as blazing ashes.
"UURRRAAAGHH!"
[Antinomy LP: 3200 → 1500]
His delta eagle shuddered from the impact—Antinomy almost losing control for a moment. His Speed Counter, which had been at 8, dropped to 7 after losing over 2000 damage.
Kira reflected internally, "He used Crow to reduce damage by 1000."
But maybe it wasn’t the 1000 LP that mattered, but saving that extra Speed Counter. After all, in Riding Duels of the Speed World 1 era, if Antinomy had taken over 1000 more damage, his Speed would have dropped by another counter.
Antinomy gasped, "So this is Sacred Beast power..."
The Three Egyptian Gods, the Three Wicked Gods, the Three Sacred Beasts—for sure, all the legendary monsters of dueling history possess terrifying power.
But—
Antinomy: "At this moment, Tech Genus Blade Blaster’s further effect activates!
When destroyed in battle, if its synchro materials used for its summoning exist in the graveyard, I can Special Summon them back to the field!"
Twin beams shot from the grave to either side of his Duel Runner.
"Special Summon from the graveyard: ’T.G. Hyper Librarian’!
’T.G. Wonder Magician’!"
[T.G. Hyper Librarian, ATK 2400]
[T.G. Wonder Magician, ATK 1900]
