# Chapter 263: Overpowered Trap Resistance, Vulnerable to Magic
In the previous Turn, the Man-Eater Bug, which had been successfully Destroyed by the Effect of the Man-Eater Bug that Hayato had entrusted to Yugi Mutou, Revived once again. Furthermore, because of the change in the number of Trap Cards in Haga's Graveyard, its ATK had increased to a staggering 5000!
[Uria, Lord of Searing Flames][ATK 5000]
"It even has a Revive Effect?" Yugi Mutou frowned.
Its ability to increase its ATK based on the number of Trap Cards in the Graveyard, its Protection against Trap Cards, and its ability to clear Trap Cards once per Turn – now a fourth ability, "discard a Trap Card to Revive from the Graveyard," had appeared. This Uria, Lord of Searing Flames wasn't just imposing; it completely surpassed ordinary Duel Monsters in every aspect.
Its winding dragon form reminded Yugi Mutou of the Three Egyptian God Cards he had seen on the Stone Tablet at the Egyptian Artifacts Traveling Exhibition Hall, specifically Slifer the Sky Dragon. He wondered which was stronger, this Monster or the Egyptian God Cards.
Thanks to the Effect of Card of Safe Return, Haga drew three Cards from his Deck, then sneered lightly. "On the Turn that Uria, Lord of Searing Flames is Special Summoned from the Graveyard using its Effect, if I have another Monster on my Field, it Cannot Attack. To avoid wasting its powerful Power, I won't perform a Normal Summon for now."
"So first, I Activate the Effect of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames! Once per Turn, Destroy all Trap Cards on your Field! Trap Destruction!"
Lightning burst forth, sweeping towards the two Set Cards in Yugi Mutou's Backrow under Haga's command. Under the effect of the lightning, the two Cards were forced open, revealing their true forms. One was Dark Burning Magic, which Yugi Mutou had Set Card in the Backrow last Turn using the Effect of Bond Between Teacher and Student. The other was also a Quick-Play Spell Card, Trap Booster.
"The same move won't work on a Duelist, Haga," Yugi Mutou said with a smile. "Having seen the Effect of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames once, even if I sent it to the Graveyard, did you think I would Set Card Trap Cards on the Field again?"
"Tch, in that case, I'll Attack Dark Magician with Uria, Lord of Searing Flames!" Haga reached out and pointed at Dark Magician, clearly annoyed. "Super Flame Wave! Take down your Ace Monster! Let's see you try to be cocky now!"
"At your Attack Declaration, I Activate my Set Card Quick-Play Spell Card, Dark Burning Magic! If I have both Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl on my Field, I can Destroy all Cards on your Field!" Watching Uria, Lord of Searing Flames open its massive mouth, about to Attack again, Yugi Mutou calmly flipped his Set Card.
The combined Attack of Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl reappeared. This time, however, both attacked simultaneously. A giant Magic Orb pushed back against the Flames that Uria, Lord of Searing Flames had just begun to spit out. With a loud boom, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, which had only just Revived, was blasted back into the Graveyard once more.
"Damn it, you Destroyed my Uria, Lord of Searing Flames again!"
Haga looked at his Field, shrouded in Smoke and Dust, and said with a displeased look. Besides Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, Card of Safe Return was also Destroyed by Dark Burning Magic. He had just Activated it this Turn, and it had only taken Effect once.
"Again and again, Spellcaster Type Monsters are so annoying. Why won't they just obediently die?"
Looking at Haga's Field, shrouded in Smoke and Dust, Yugi Mutou said in a deep voice, "If you don't believe me, just keep attacking, Haga. No matter how many times, my Monsters and I will completely block your Attacks and counterattack!"
"Stop boasting, Yugi Mutou!" Haga impatiently Discarded a Card from his Hand. "You only Destroyed Uria, Lord of Searing Flames for the second time! Its Revive Effect is unlimited!"
"Return, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames!"
As Haga Discarded another Trap Card, the ATK of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames increased again.
[Uria, Lord of Searing Flames][ATK 5000 → 6000]
"Its ATK has already surpassed Five-Headed Dragon, which has the highest base ATK," Yugi Mutou said calmly, watching Uria, Lord of Searing Flames Revive from the Graveyard once more. "However, your Battle Phase is over. Even though it returned to the Field as if unharmed, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames cannot Attack again, having missed its timing."
"Hmph, since I cannot Attack, I'll just Summon a Monster then." Haga "Tch"ed in displeasure and played a Card from his Hand. "Summon Atomic Firefly in Defense Position. Then I'll Set Card two Cards. My Turn ends."
[Haga: 300LP, Hand 3]
[Uria, Lord of Searing Flames][ATK 6000]
[Atomic Firefly][DEF 200]
[Set Card]X2
Yugi Mutou looked at the Atomic Firefly in Defense Position with a hint of meaning. If he remembered correctly, that Monster seemed to have an Effect that inflicted 1000 Damage to the destroyer when it was Destroyed by Battle. He didn't know why, but Haga had actually chosen to Summon it in Face-Up Defense Position.
Based on Haga's usual tactics, he should have Summoned it in Face-Down Defense Position to try and trick someone.
"My Turn, Drawing Cards." Regardless, Yugi Mutou wasn't someone who would hesitate because of a Face-up Card. His Turn had arrived, and his offensive was about to begin its Combo/Play. "Spell Card, Pot of Greed! I draw two Cards from my Deck."
"Then I Activate the Effect of Thousand Knives, which I just drew," Yugi Mutou showed the Spell Card he had just drawn. "If I have Dark Magician on my Field, I can directly target and Destroy one Monster on your Field!"
"The target I designate is, of course, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames! Go, Dark Magician!"
Behind Dark Magician on Yugi Mutou's Field, countless sharp blades emerged from the void, floating in the air without any support. As Dark Magician raised his hand and swung it forward, Thousand Knives flew out rapidly like the King's Treasure, easily Destroying Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, which had no Magic Resistance, and sent it into the Graveyard.
"Then, I enter my Battle Phase!"
Yugi Mutou raised his hand, pointing at the Atomic Firefly on Haga's Field. "Although Destroying this Monster by Battle will inflict Damage to me, this is a necessary Sacrifice for victory!"
"Dark Magician Girl, Attack Atomic Firefly! Dark Magician Burst Stream!"
"Boom!"
The Magic Orb undoubtedly Destroyed the Atomic Firefly, which had only 200 DEF. While this inflicted 1000 Damage to Yugi Mutou's Life Points, only the last Trap Card remained as an obstacle between Haga and Yugi Mutou.
