Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

And Ghosh, being quite perceptive, extended an invitation to Youma:

"Hey, Yuma, I was so excited watching you duel with that guy Soleva last time. I'm really looking forward to a duel with you, so don't disappoint me!"

Yuma responded excitedly:

"I couldn't be happier! Let's—"

"Duel!" ×2

Chapter 451 Passionate Resonance

As Ghosh and Yuma entered the venue, they were immediately confronted by an uphill slope with an exaggerated gradient.

Perhaps because the roller coaster on Youma's side was packed with three people, this serious overloading caused the roller coaster to lack power, so that Ghosh, who arrived a step later than Youma, actually reached the top of the hill before Youma.

"Then I'll take the first strike! Draw a card!"

After adding the top card of his deck to his hand, Ghosh immediately drew one from his hand and slammed it onto his D-card panel, which blazed like flames.

"I Normal Summon [Heroic Challenger Double Spearman] (original) from my hand!"

As the card was drawn, a warrior clad in silver armor and wielding two spears appeared on Ghosh's field. However, with the appearance of this monster, a boulder fell from the rock wall above Ghosh's head, striking him and reducing his LP from 4000 to 3800.

"This is……"

Faced with Yuma's astonishment, Ghosh, who didn't want to take advantage of Yuma, immediately gritted his teeth and explained to Yuma:

"In this [Dangerous Canyon] area, whenever someone attacks a monster in a Status Summon or Special Summon, or launches an attack, they will take 200 damage."

"why is it like this……"

Upon hearing this news, Yuma couldn't help but show a hint of distress on his face. His LP had been through a fierce battle with Iron Man and the torment of trap cards along the way. Although he had a [Healing God Dean Kate] to help him recover, he only had 1500 points left.

Under the effect of [Dangerous Canyon], 1500 LP is simply not enough to support him in making many summons and attacks!

Meanwhile, Yuma was even more curious as to why Shark, IV, and Ghosh all seemed to have the same LP, always at 4000 points. Had they never encountered any other opponents?

Just as Yuma was wondering about this, Ghosh began his next move:

"When this [Heroic Challenger Double Lance Soldier] is used as Xyz Material for an Xyz Monster with [Heroic Champion] in its name, one can be used as two Materials!"

Now, I'm treating my Level 4 [Double Spearman] on the field as two and stacking them! I'm building a stacking network using one monster! Xyz Summon!

"Appear, [Heroic Champion, King of the Archers] (original)!"

As the [Double Spearman] split into two orbs of light and disappeared into the Xyz Summoning channel, the warrior riding a steed and drawing a shortbow from his arm armor arrived on Gorsh's field with 2100 attack power.

So, the instant it appeared, a jet of air shot out from the roller coaster beneath Ghosh's feet, hitting Ghosh directly in the face and further reducing Ghosh's LP to 3600 points.

Ghosh, however, remained unmoved, picked up two cards from his hand, and slammed them onto his D-card panel once more:

"Finally, I'll set two cards face down, and the turn ends!"

"He wasn't afraid of the effects of this field at all, and still summoned the monster in attack stance so decisively? Why?"

Starlight stared in astonishment at Ghosh, who had summoned [King of the Archers] in Attack Position. After all, if he were facing the effect of [Dangerous Canyon], he would have Special Summoned [King of the Archers] in Defense Position instead of taking 200 points of effect damage.

However, Yuma actually nodded in approval of what Ghosh had done:

"Astral body, although summoning [King of the Archers] in defense position does indeed prevent him from taking 200 points of effect damage, I could sense from his aura just now that he craves a thrilling duel, so he disdains to fight in such a conservative... perhaps cowardly way for him."

However, after hearing Yuma explain Gorsh's reasons for making that choice, the Astral Body shook its head in silence:

"I'm sorry, Yuma, I can't understand this way of dueling."

"It's alright, Astral, you don't need to apologize. I remember the old man telling me before that every person, and every deck, has its own unique style. Different styles are inherently difficult to understand each other."

but……"

His gaze shifted from the astral body to Ghosn, and Yuma's brow furrowed deeply. The same flame of passion that burned within Ghosn's eyes now blazed fiercely in Yuma's own.

“I can feel and understand his desire, so, Astral Body, in my upcoming duel, I may also make many choices that seem unwise to you.”

"Yes, go for it, Yuma! Whatever duel you choose, I believe in you."

Having gained the astral body's trust, Yuma nodded firmly:

"Alright, it's time to go! My turn, draw a card!"

The card that Yuma drew with the trust of the Astral Sphere immediately caused a slight smile to appear on Yuma's lips.

"Very good! Then..."

Instead of adding the card to his hand, Yuma immediately placed it on his D deck:

"I Normal Summon [Hopeful Royal Onomatopoeia Utopia] from my hand!"

As the little Platinum Warrior appeared, a boulder, just like before, fell from the cliff next to Yuma, reducing Yuma's LP to 1300 points.

At that very moment, one of Ghosh's cover cards on the field opened up:

"Now's the time! Take this trap card! [Hero's Gift] (Original)!"

"Oops!"

Just as Astral thought that Gorsh was going to take advantage of the reduced LP of Yuma to further reduce Yuma's LP with a trap card, he heard Gorsh's voice:

"This card can only be activated when the opponent's LP is below 2000! It restores the opponent's LP to 4000, and at the same time, I can draw two cards from my deck!"

With this card's effect, Yuma's LP was restored to 4000 points, and Ghosh's finger pressed against the deck, drawing a card.

However, this action only exacerbated the astral body's confusion:

"Why did he need to restore Yuma's LP? He could have won by using this Field Spell Card to further reduce Yuma's LP..."

"That's because he not only wanted to win, he wanted a fair duel."

Answering the astral body's question, Yuma also turned his burning gaze to Ghosh.

"For him, having an advantage on LP, even if he wins, wouldn't be very interesting, right? Since he's going to do it this way, I'll play along to the end!"

As he spoke, Yuma revealed another card in his hand, which appeared before everyone's eyes:

"Next, I activate the Spell Card [Onomatopoeia Link] from my hand! This card requires one card from my hand to be sent to the Graveyard to activate! I choose to send [I-I-I-Defense] from my hand to the Graveyard!"

After sending both cards to the graveyard, Yuma continued.

"Then, I can add one of each of the following monsters from my deck: [Swish Lala], [Goblin Goblin], [Rumble Rumble Rumble], and [Rage Rage Rage], for a total of up to two monsters to my hand!"

I've chosen to add [Angry Dwarf - Rumble Gloves] and [Sweeping Boss - My Coat] to my hand!

Instead of adding the two cards that popped out of the deck to his hand, Yuma immediately activated the effect of [Onomatopoeia Utopia]:

"Then, I activate the effect of [Onomatopoeia]! Once per turn during my Main Phase, Special Summon up to one [Shrug], one [GagGagGag], one [RumbleRumble], and one [RageRageRage] monster from my hand in Defense Position!"

Come on, [rumble rumble gloves], [my coat]!

If it weren't for the limitations of the effect itself, Yuma wouldn't mind Special Summoning these two monsters in Attack Position, even if they took 200 points of effect damage.

Upon seeing these two strange creatures in the horse racing area, Ghosh immediately grinned:

"Well done! Now this is what a duel should be! In that case, I'll activate the effect of [King of the Archers] on the field!"

If your opponent successfully Special Summons a Level 4 or lower monster, you can detach one of its Xyz Materials and destroy that Special Summoned monster!

Chapter 452 The Shaking of Obsession

"And the monster I'm going to destroy is this one!"

With a flick of his finger, Ghosh identified the unfortunate monster he had chosen to destroy.

"[Shua Lala Bancho - Me Me Me Jacket]!"

As [My Coat] was chosen, [King of the Archers] immediately drew his bow and shot a glowing arrow into the sky. The glowing arrow then shattered into a rain of light that fell and enveloped [My Coat].

"Well--"

Raising his hand to shield himself from the blast of the exploding [my jacket], Yuma couldn't help but sigh.

"What excellent taste!"

That's certainly a good eye. If Ghosh had chosen to destroy [Rumble Gloves], the [Rumble Gloves] that went to the graveyard could still be resurrected from the graveyard by its own effect because of the presence of [Sound Utopia] on the field.

In that case, the effect of [King of the Archers] is, to some extent, a complete waste.

However, even though Ghosh made the right choice, Yuma wasn't too unwilling. After all, he had made up his mind to have a good fight with Ghosh. So, facing the [Heroic Archer King] with an attack power of only 2100 points, the two remaining monsters were enough!

So, Youma immediately raised his hand and began to chant:

"Now, I'll stack my Level 4 [Soundscape Utopia] and [Rumble Glove] on my field! I'll build a stacking network with two monsters! Xyz Summon!"

Appear, white wings that carry hope! [No. 39]! Messenger of Light, [Hope, the Emperor of Hope]!

As the two monsters rose into orbs of light, opening the channel for Xyz Summoning, the platinum-colored warrior slowly descended, surrounded by particles.

Of course, after [Hope Royal Hope] descended in an attack stance, Yuma's LP dropped from the newly recovered 4000 points to 3800 points.

After [Hope of the Emperor] appeared, Yuma looked at his hand and realized he had no cards left to continue his combo. He then pointed to [King of the Archers] on the field and said:

"Then, let the battle begin! [Hope Emperor], attack [King of the Archers]!"

Even though an electric current surged through Yuma's body when the attack command was given, causing his LP to drop to 3600 points, which was comparable to Ghosh's.

However, after giving the order, Yuma glanced at the field of Gosh and noticed there seemed to be another card that hadn't been activated yet, and couldn't help but frown:

"Will that card... activate now?"

However, no, [Hope Royal Hope]'s sword easily broke through [King of the Archers], causing Ghosh's LP to drop further to 3200 points, which relieved Yuma.

At the same time, Yuma seemed to feel a long-lost sense of ease. It seemed that ever since he met Soleva, he had started to pay attention to the effects that might be triggered in the back row, hand, and even the graveyard.

Although he had to learn to care in order to win the duel, a duel where he had to care about these things all the time was not easy.

Now that the attack was over, Yuma didn't have much to do. He immediately drew one of his three cards and attached it to his D-plate:

"So finally, I'll set one card face down, and the turn ends."

"Well then, it's my turn again, time to draw a card!"

His finger touched the top of the deck, drawing a card once more. But this time, the draw made Ghosh pause slightly.

"This monster card... I remember now, it's a card that Soreva gave me. I'm so stupid, I don't even like his stuff, why did I still bring the card he gave me..."

Although he was complaining, Ghosh's hand holding the card was trembling.
