Crimson Devil ritual



The Crimson Devil ritual was a Duel performed by the Familiar in an attempt to resurrect his master. If the opponent lost, their body would become host to the Crimson Devil, Scar-Red Nova.

Prior events
The Crimson Devil was sealed away by the Legendary Signer, through the Burning Soul ability.

10,000 years later the Crimson Devil's servant, the Familiar, planned to lure Jack Atlas into the ritual. He did this by implanting a dream in Greiger, where he saw Jack Atlas die, by relying on power. This prompted Greiger to invite Jack Atlas to the Nazca region in the hope of overcoming this. Greiger got Jack to Turbo Duel against Max. However, the Familiar possessed Max and changed his Deck. The Duel was halted when it became clear the Crimson Devil was at work.

Angry over the result of the Duel, Jack went to a village, where he met a the Familiar possessing a villager and accompanied by the Crimson Devil in the form of a flame. The Familiar identified itself and offered Jack to join the Devil's side, where he could get power he desires, saying that they would be waiting at the Earthbound Immortal Shrine.

At the shrine the Familiar took Jack to a hidden chamber and told him that he must win the ritual Duel in order to get the power. He did not mention until after the Duel started and Yusei Fudo, Greiger and Max appeared that Jack would relinquish his body to the Crimson Devil should he lose.

The Duel
The Familiar used Jack's reliance on power against him with a "Yomi" lock combo, focused on stalling and burning. This quickly lowered Jack's Life Points, while his remained untouched.

Jack developed new tactics to counter the "Yomi" lock, lowering the Familiar's Life Points significantly.

With the Duel almost over, the Crimson Devil started to break through the wall behind its statue, causing the chamber to fall apart. Enraged at Jack's new tactics, the Familiar abandoned his lock strategy and Summoned "Wicked King of Yomi - Mictlan Coatl". However, Jack performed the "Burning Soul" ability and absorbed the Devil's power and Summoned "Scar-Red Nova Dragon". "Scar-Red Nova Dragon" destroyed "Wicked King of Yomi - Mictlan Coatl" defeating the Familiar.

The Familiar was crushed by the Crimson Devil's statue falling over. The Crimson Dragon saved the others as the shrine fell apart.
