Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Yuki recalled the scene she saw when she first entered the alternate dimension: Izayoi Yuki was defeated by that fusion monster that looked completely different from the "Dark World".

As for its effects, Yuki was well aware of them even without Izayoi Yuki's reminder.

"It's too late to be on guard now. Let you experience the kind of doomsday your little girlfriend went through."

Grafa raised the card, and endless darkness surged into it, unleashing the deepest terror and malice.

"Activate 'Ascension to the Dark Realm'! Discard 'Dark Realm Demon King Raine' from your hand, and banish 5 'Dark Realm' cards from your Graveyard. Lord of the Abyss, open your eyes from the deepest darkness and proclaim the path to destruction for the world! Fusion Summon! Be born, 'Chaos King of the Dark Realm, Kalles'!!"

"Kaleras, the Chaos King of the Dark Realm, Level 12/Dark/Demon/Fusion" "ATK: ?/DEF: ?"

The fusion of six materials, with one less material than when dueling with Izayoi Yuki, still makes a powerful entrance.

The silver-white demon, capable of distorting even dimensions, silently descended, its powerful aura overwhelming the entire scene.

"Since only 6 materials were used for fusion, 'Kalles' originally had 6000 ATK and DEF. Then, if the Fusion Summon is successful, 'Kalles' effect activates, destroying all cards on the opponent's field."

Grafa waved his hand forward, and "Chaos King of the Dark World" raised his hand in unison, unleashing a dark power capable of distorting dimensions that slammed into Yuki's position!

"【Redemption from the Darkest Hour】!"

Chapter 116: The Endless Chestnut Balls for Curing Low Blood Pressure! (Second Update, 4kbps)

The enormous, destructive dark energy crashed down upon the absolute king of the dark realm, its astonishing force causing the white-haired girl to involuntarily recall her own experiences.

"Izumi-san...!"

If this continues, Yuki will also be left in an empty field, completely unprepared to face Grafa's attack!

—Yes, that's the correct way to put it.

"what happened?"

With blue flames flickering in his eyes, Grafa, who had fused and summoned the "Chaos King," uttered a question.

Even though the "Chaos King" successfully used [Redemption of Darkness], he felt no sense of it hitting him.

Upon closer inspection, after the chaotic energy turbulence gradually subsided, not a single card, whether it was "Dark Magic" or the spells and traps in Yuki's back row, was destroyed.

Such a bizarre scene is truly incomprehensible.

"What tricks have you been up to, kid?"

"As you activated the 'Earthbound' effect, I chained in this Quick-Play Spell: 'Dark Magician's Enhancement'."

In front of Yu Xi stood a card, depicting the black magician and his apprentice at the center of a magic circle, surrounded by extremely powerful magic.

This is also the card that Yuki used when he fought against Yuki, and it was thanks to it that Yuki escaped a calamity.

"This card's effect is based on the number of 'Dark Magician' and 'Dark Magician Girl' on either player's field or in their Graveyard. If there are 1 or more, 1 DARK Spellcaster monster I control gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn. If there are 2 or more, my opponent cannot chain my Spell/Trap Cards to activate their effects, and my Spell/Trap Cards cannot be destroyed by my opponent's effects."

"But that should only protect your backcourt."

Grafa said in a deep voice, "Why is even the 'Dark Magician' unharmed?"

"This brings us to the third effect."

Yu Xi raised his third finger and said, "When there are 3 or more, my DARK Spellcaster monsters will not be affected by the opponent's effects this turn."

"Unfortunately, 'Thief Kuriboh' helped me add 'Dark Magician Girl' to my deck, so 'Dark Magician' will gain all resistances this turn."

This is the truth behind why the "Chaos King" had no effect whatsoever.

The "Dark Magic Enhancement" with all three effects applies provides Yuki with an extremely strong layer of protection for both the front and back lines. Even the "Chaos King of the Dark World" cannot easily break through the dark magic's formation.

"So that's how you blocked my 'Chaos King' with this trick. But even so, it's still not enough. What are you going to do now, brat? Activate the second effect of 'Ascension to the Dark Realm'!"

With the doubts resolved, Grafa's next offensive immediately followed.

"During my Main Phase, this card in my Graveyard returns to my hand. Then discard 1 'Dark Realms' monster; activate the effect of the discarded 'Dark Realms Demon God Kelett,' and Special Summon this card from my Graveyard."

"Kellert, the demon god of the dark world, Level 6/Dark/Demon" "ATK: 2400/DEF: 0"

Black mist surged from the graveyard, transforming into a silver-gray demon with two sharp horns on its head. What followed was a combo that Yu Xi and the others were already very familiar with.

"Return 'Demon God' to your hand, revive 'Dark Realm Demon King' from the graveyard, and then activate the last effect of 'Dark Realm Chaos King'."

[Once during your or your opponent's turn, you can target 1 face-up card on your field to activate this effect. Discard 1 card from your hand. This turn, your opponent cannot target the targeted face-up card with their effects.]

"Discard 'Blau the Hunter of the Dark Realms,' and apply the effect of 'Chaos King' to itself. When 'Blau' is discarded, I draw 1 card from my deck. Then activate the Field Spell: 'Dark Realms Gate,' increasing the ATK of all Fiend-Type monsters by 300, and immediately use its other effect."

A massive "Dark Gate" rose up behind Grafa, and the silver-grey demon that had just returned to his hand leaped out of the gate.

"Discard 'Oni God' from your hand, banish 'Blau' and draw 1 card. Then 'Oni God' on my field are revived in Attack Position, and we enter the Battle Phase."

Grafa, having gathered four "Dark Realm" demons on the field at once, loudly announced the battle order, and boiling malice immediately attacked Yu Xi.

"Although we failed just now, let me now let you experience the power of colorlessness once more—'Chaos King of the Dark Realm' attacks 'Black Magician'! [Apocalypse of the Apocalypse]!"

The dark power, no less formidable than it had been just seconds before, crashed down once more. Upon seeing this, Youxi waved his hand, and a rainbow light screen rose up.

"At this moment, I activate the Trap Card: 'Divine Shield - Mirror Force -'! Reflect your attack and destroy all Attack Position monsters on your field!"

"it's useless."

Grafa remained unperturbed by Yuxi's "Holy Counter," coldly retorting, "You're not the only one who can grant monsters resistance. I'll remove the counter-trap 'Dark Realm Punishment' from the graveyard to replace the destruction caused by 'Dark Realm' monsters."

"Punishment from the Dark Realm," this is a card sent to the graveyard by "Monster Gate"...

Youxi watched as a golden bolt of lightning shot out from the graveyard of Grafa, forming a curtain that blotted out the sky and blocked the reflected rainbow light.

Now that this powerful counterattack has failed, it's time for You Xi to taste the bitter fruit.

"The Chaos King of the Dark Realm continues his attack! Crush those ants on the other side!"

The colorless demon king clenched his hand, and the surging dark energy instantly tore through the rainbow light barrier, colliding with the "Black Magician's" magic.

With the help of "Dark Magician Enhancement," the "Dark Magician's" attack power rose to 3500. However, it was still too powerless against the "Chaos King of the Dark Realm" with 6300 attack power. After a muffled groan, it was completely engulfed by the raging dark energy.

—The "Black Magician" caused the destruction.

[Yu Xi's LP: 4000 → 1200]

"Ahhh!"

With a sharp drop in LP and Yuki's painful cries, Grafa launched another attack without giving any respite.

"Now no monster can save you. It's over, brat. 'Dragon God of the Dark Realm' attacks directly: Dark Dragon Breath!"

The names of the attack moves recited were unremarkable, but the threat they posed was real.

The pitch-black demonic dragon beast unleashed a breath of dragon fire, filled with curses and destructive power, aimed directly at Youxi. Given Youxi's current health, taking this attack would indeed mean certain death.

but--

"At the same time you declare your attack, I will activate the effect of 'Revived Kuriboh' in my graveyard!"

Yu Xi calmly reached her finger towards her grave, took out a card, and a cheerful "Krikri" sounded.

With this cry as a signal, a large number of fluffy, adorable creatures suddenly crowded into his front area.

"I'll banish 'Resurrect Kuriboh' from the game, and Special Summon as many 'Kuriboh' monsters from my Graveyard as possible to my field. Come back, Kuriboh brothers!"

"Krikrik!"

Five Kuriboh monsters blocked the dragon's breath, creating a brand new barrier for Yuki.

The dragon breath of the "Dragon God of the Dark Realm" alone is no longer enough to overcome this obstacle.

This caused Grafa's blood pressure to rise, even though he was expecting victory.

"Another Kuriboh? When are you going to stop using all these Kuribohs?!"

"Of course, it will continue until I defeat you."

Yu Xi answered without hesitation. Because of the injuries he suffered from the three Dark Duels, his mind and body were not in good condition, but his eyes were very firm and bright.

"Until then, my Kuriboh, my monsters will always protect me. Because a monster has been resurrected from my Graveyard, the effect of 'Survival Treasure Card' has activated again, and I draw 1 card from my Deck. Alright, what are you going to do, Grafa? Want to keep attacking?"

"Of course, it's impossible to leave these materials for Link Summoning to you."

Grafa answered without hesitation and ordered the "Dragon God," whose actions had been temporarily suspended, to breathe dragon breath once more.

"Let's start with that guy who can summon 'Babylonian Chestnut'! Let's destroy 'Kurimaru'!"

The dark dragon breath effortlessly annihilated the indigo member of the Kuriboh brothers, and at the moment of its destruction, Yuki spoke once again amidst the cute "Krikri" cries.

"Then let me tell you, the Kuriboh family isn't as easy to deal with as you think. When Kuriboh is destroyed, the effects of this monster and Kuriboh will activate simultaneously!"

"I can Special Summon 1 'Kuriboh' monster from my Deck and add a Spell/Trap Card with 'Kuriboh' in its name to my hand. The one I want to Special Summon is 'Sacrifice Kuriboh'."

"Sacrifice Kuriboh, Level 1/Dark/Demon" "ATK: 300/DEF: 200"

"Krikrik!"

In place of the sacrificed "Kuriboo," the "Sacrifice Kuriboh," which looks almost identical to the original "Kuriboo," floats out of the card, maintaining Yuki's lineup of five Kuribohs on the field, and even adding a beginner card to his deck.

This scene, as seen by Grafa, was nothing short of a blatant provocation.

"Fine, very well! You've angered me, brat. Then let's see how long you can let these little guys last! 'Kellert, the Demon God of the Dark Realm,' attack! [Demon God's Wrath Thunder]!!"

"The answer is, you won't be able to destroy any of the next ones!"

Faced with the lightning strike from the "demon of the dark world," Yuki once again declares that he will activate the hidden power of the Kuriboh brothers.

"Next up to protect everyone is the 'Chestnut Squad,' effect activated!"

[Once per turn, if you control another "Kuriboh" monster, you can activate this effect when your opponent declares an attack. All monsters you control other than this card gain 0 ATK until the end of this turn, and negate that attack.]

This is a power that can only be used when other "Kuriboh" partners are gathered together, and it is difficult to unleash under normal circumstances, but this is the perfect time to meet the conditions.

And it's not just that.

"Then, chain 'Kuriboh' to activate the effect of 'Link Kuriboh' in the Graveyard, and Special Summon 'Sacrifice Kuriboh' from the Graveyard by sacrificing a Level 1 Kuriboh."

Regarding the reintroduction of L-ink1 Kuriboh into the Cyberse universe, Yuki explained, "Although its ATK will become 0 due to the effect of 'Kuriboh', 'Link Kuriboh' itself can Tribute itself to reduce the ATK of the opponent's attacking monster to 0, so it doesn't have much of an impact. Furthermore, if 'Sacrifice Kuriboh' is Tributed, I can draw 1 card from my Deck, plus 'Survival Treasure Card,' for a total of 2 cards."

"Krikrik!"

As the "Connecting Kuriboh" and "Sacrificial Kuriboh" exchanged positions, a chorus of chants from the Kuriboh family resounded.
