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

The card was opened, revealing a six-pointed star and the Eye of Horus. Light emanating from Horus shone on the "Sacred Dragon," causing it to freeze in place.

"Target 1 monster on the field, negate its effects, and reduce its ATK by 500."

"Sacred Dragon - Nine Divine Dragons, ATK: 3000→2500"

Even the trap card that "Dark End Dragon" couldn't force out successfully silenced "Sacred Dragon". Fortunately, the subsequent release of "Sacred Dragon" was not cost, otherwise Yuki would have been in real trouble.

"But this means the Chaos Dragon will enter the graveyard!"

The failure of "Holy Dragon" did not make the Blue Princess feel resentful, since she had already achieved her true goal.

Banish 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard, Special Summon "Chaos Dragon - Chaos Ruler" from your Graveyard, and banish it after it is revived by this effect. Then activate the Spell Card: "Dimensional Fusion"!

Pay 2000 Life Points to Special Summon as many banished monsters as possible to the field!

[Blue Princess LP: 8000 → 6000]

What fell from the Blue Princess's hand was yet another extremely rare and valuable Rhea Card, whose power was undoubtedly at the level of a forbidden card.

Dimensional fluctuations distorted, and four dragon shadows slowly emerged beside the "Chaos Demon Dragon" and the "Nine Divine Dragons." These were the "Dark Steel Dragon," "Largerstone Dragon," "Galaxy Sea Serpent," and "Carbon Dragon" that had been previously excluded by Yuki and the Blue Princess.

Yuki waved his hand and said, "But this effect isn't just for you. I can also summon back as many of the excluded monsters as possible. Return, 'Serpent-Eyed Flame Dragon' and 'Destroyer Swordsman'."

"Serpent-Eyed Flame Dragon, DEF: 2500"

"Destroyer Swordsman, Level 7/Earth/Warrior" "ATK: 2600/DEF: 2300"

The Fiery Stone Dragon emerged from the earth, with a dragon-slaying warrior standing atop its head.

Compared to the Blue Princess's lineup, Yuki can pull back very few monsters. However, in terms of quality, just one "Destroyer Swordsman" is enough to be worth many others.

"The effect of 'Destroyer of Destruction': Gains 500 ATK for each Dragon monster your opponent controls and has in their Graveyard. Now you have a total of 13 Dragon monsters in your Graveyard and on your field, gaining 6500 ATK!"

"Swordsman of Destruction, ATK: 2600→9100"

His combat power surged by over 9000 in one go, just a hair's breadth away from breaking the 10,000 mark. If this strike were to land on the Blue Princess herself, it would definitely kill her instantly.

But the Blue Princess remained unfazed, declaring, "Merely decent attack power is useless! Watch me take you down in a flash! I'll use 'Galaxy Serpent' to level up my 8-star 'Chaos Dragon,' and Synchro Summon 'Ballad of Flowers.' Once per turn, 'Ballad of Flowers' effect activates, destroying 'Giant Dragon's Glow.'"

The rose-flower sword flew past, and "Giant Dragon Shining" instantly collapsed.

At the same time, Dark Steel Dragon spread its wings, and a radiant golden light re-emerged on Blue Princess's field.

"The effect of 'Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon': Resurrect from the graveyard, 'Giant Dragon's Glow'! Immediately use its effect to banish 'Destroyer Swordsman' and increase attack power by 700!"

"Giant Dragon Shines, ATK: 2800 → 3500"

The golden "Giant Dragon" was resurrected for the fourth time, and its golden light enveloped the dragon-slaying warrior, instantly turning him into a stone statue.

Now, Yuki only has the offensive "Radiant Spirit" and the defensive "Serpent's Eye" to protect him.

But this meager defense was hardly a concern for the Blue Princess, who was in excellent condition.

"Release 'Carbon Dragon,' then perform a Superior Summon 'Electric Tail Dragon.' Next, use the 6-star 'Cyber ​​Tail Dragon' and 'Lattice Dragon' to stack light. O Dragon of Light, answer the call, and issue the King's Decree! Xyz Summon, Rank 6, 'Sacred Dragon King - Atem Dragon King!'"

"Sacred Dragon King - Atem Dragon King, Rank 6/Light/Dragon/Xyz" "ATK: 2400/DEF: 2100"

With six overlapping dragon souls, a colossal, dark purple dragon clad in golden armor emerged from the Supercharged Vortex.

To be honest, the name of this monster is quite ridiculous; it's hard to imagine what it would look like if Yugi were to actually transform into a monster. However, its effects are not to be underestimated.

"Atem Dragon King's effect activated! Once per turn, detach 1 material to Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type monster from your Deck with 0 ATK and 0 DEF. After this effect is activated, this card cannot attack this turn. Special Summon 'Rabbit Dragon,' then banish 'Carbon Dragon,' and Special Summon 'Galaxy Serpent' from your Deck. The Level 2 'Galaxy Serpent' adjusts the Level 8 'Rabbit Dragon's' level."

"So be it, so supreme overlord of heaven and earth! Use your might to crush the weak! Synchro Summon! Level 10, 'Three-Headed Dragon King'!"

"Three-Headed Dragon King, Level 10 / Fire / Dragon / Synchro" "ATK: 3000 / DEF: 2800"

"One or more Dragon-type monsters (excluding those with adjustments)"

No less imposing in size than the "Nine Divine Dragons," the enormous three-headed demonic dragon raised its head and unleashed a powerful roar on the vast sea. The roar was awe-inspiring, even prompting the rest of the dragon horde to join in with thunderous shouts.

Youxi felt the intensity of the Blue Princess's murderous intent more deeply than he could have imagined.

"The effect of 'Three-Headed Dragon King' activates! When a Synchro Summon is successfully performed, destroy up to 2 cards on your field, and you can attack for the number of times you destroyed cards in addition to your Normal Attack. Destroy 'Atem Dragon King,' allowing her to attack twice this turn. Then activate the Spell Card: 'Treasure Card of Destiny'!"

The Blue Princess played a card, and that card was no weaker than the "Super Regeneration Ability" card.

"Pay 1000 Life Points, then target 1 monster you control. That monster gains 1000 ATK until the end of your opponent's turn, and when it destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can check the cards at the bottom of your Deck. If that card is a Dragon, Dinosaur, or Seadramon monster, for every 1000 ATK it gains, I recover 1000 Life Points and draw 1 card."

It goes without saying who Blue Princess's effect is meant for.

"Three-Headed Dragon King, ATK: 3000→4000"

[Blue Princess LP: 6000 → 5000]

"Have you washed your neck yet? I'm about to attack. Initiating combat!"

With her long, azure hair fluttering in the sea breeze, the Blue Princess pointed forward, causing the dragons to assume a poised and ready stance.

And naturally, the first to launch an attack was that monster.

"—The Three-Headed Dragon King attacks Lena, the Radiant Light Spirit! [Trident Destruction]!"

[Yu Xi's LP: 7900 → 5750]

The dragon's breath, hotter than magma, erupted from the three dragon heads, instantly vaporizing the "Radiant Light Spirit Envoy" who couldn't resist it, and deducting a large amount of LP from Yu Xi's base score.

"Because the monster was destroyed in battle, the effect of 'Treasure Card of Destiny' applies. I've confirmed that the card at the bottom of my deck is a Counter Trap: 'Sacred Mark of Reflection.' I'm placing it at the top of my deck."

"I also need to activate the effect of 'Radiant Light Spirit Envoy'."

Yuki also said, "If this Link Summoned card is destroyed by the opponent, add 1 LIGHT monster with 1500 or less DEF from your Deck to your hand."

"The Three-Headed Dragon King's second attack—annihilate the Serpent-Eyed Flame Dragon!"

The Blue Princess didn't react to the effect, allowing Yuki to successfully retrieve the card. Yuki then promptly placed the card into the back row of the Duel Disk.

"When you declare an attack, activate the effect of 'Rainbow Kuriboh' in your hand! Equip this card as an Equip Card to 'Three-Headed Dragon King', preventing the equipped monster from attacking!"

After stopping the "Three-Headed Dragon King's" attack, the Blue Princess could no longer use the "Treasure Card of Destiny" to draw cards, and the next draw was clearly a trap card draw, which was quite advantageous for Yuki.

Of course, the Blue Princess wouldn't let Yu Xi succeed.

"The effects of 'Banana Baroness' need no further explanation, right? Use its effect to nullify and destroy 'Rainbow Kuriboh'!"

With a flash of sword light, "Rainbow Kuriboh" was cleaved in two. The unstoppable scorching dragon breath fell, turning the fire-attribute Serpent Flame Dragon into a giant kebab.

— Destroyed by "Snake-Eyed Flame Dragon".

"The effect of 'Treasure Card of Destiny' applies again. This time, the card revealed is 'Sacred Dragon Nephrodite,' with 2000 ATK. Therefore, I recover 2000 Life Points and draw 2 more cards."

[Blue Princess LP: 5000 → 7000]

By perfectly utilizing the value of "Three-Headed Dragon King," the Blue Princess not only replenished her hand with two cards but also cleared the field for Yuki—now there are no monsters in the front row that can protect Yuki.

On the Blue Princess's side, there are still a total of 4 monsters to attack.

"That's it! 'Sacred Dragon - Nine Divine Dragons' attacks directly, [Nine Breaths of the Divine Dragon]!"

"Ahhh!"

[Yu Xi's LP: 5750 → 3250]

A burst of golden-red light erupted, striking You Xi directly and sending him flying.

Fortunately, his skills in the game world were much better than in reality, and he landed steadily with just a simple somersault.

At the same time he landed, he started his card-covering action.

"In that case, the effect of 'Baroness of Flowers' has been used. Activate the Trap Card: 'Dark Frontier'!"

【Dark Boundary (Normal Trap): You can activate this effect when you take damage from battle or card effects. Special Summon 1 DARK Spellcaster monster from your Deck with ATK equal to or less than the amount of damage you took.】

"I have taken 2500 damage, therefore I can now Special Summon monsters with ATK of 2500 or less. Come forth, 'Witch of the Black Forest'!"

"The Witch of the Black Forest, DEF: 1200"

Magic surged from the purple card, forming the outline of a three-eyed witch.

This monster is one of Yuki's favorite monsters, and it can be used in conjunction with the strongest survival combo in his deck in times like these.

Unaware of this, the Blue Princess obviously couldn't stop her attack.

"Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon attacks, followed by [Infernal Black Flame Burial]! Then comes a direct attack from [Baroness of Flowers]!"

Black and red flames erupted from the mouth of "Dark Steel Dragon," instantly obliterating "Witch." Upon seeing this, Yuki said, "When 'Witch of the Black Forest' is sent from the field to the Graveyard, add 1 monster with 1500 or less DEF from your Deck to your hand."

"Then, when you declare a direct attack, the effects of 'Rainbow Kuriboh' in my Graveyard and 'Anka Kuriboh' in my hand activate! Special Summon 'Rainbow Kuriboh' and 'Witch of the Dark Forest' in Defense Position."

"Krikrik!"

With two overlapping cute cries, two new shields appeared on Yuki's field. This would trigger the effect of his "Survival Treasure Card" in the back row, replenishing his hand with two new cards.

"Ugh! Why are there more and more monsters the more we fight them?"

At that moment, although they didn't know each other at all, the Blue Princess suddenly felt the pain that Grafa had felt back then.

No matter how I attack, I see no results; all I see is my opponent constantly gaining cards under my attacks. It's almost as if I'm aiding the enemy.

For the Blue Princess, who has a bit less patience and is determined to win this battle, it's fair to say she's mentally exhausted.

Should we continue the attack?

Yu Xi asked the Blue Princess, who replied defiantly, "Of course we'll attack! 'Giant Dragon's Glow' attacks 'Rainbow Chestnut,' followed by 'Golden Might'!"

Instead of choosing the meaningless "Witch of the Black Forest," the golden dragon, under the command of the blue princess, emitted golden light and crushed the cute, rainbow-topped sphere in one fell swoop.

— "Rainbow Kuriboh" destroyed.

At this point, the Blue Princess's monsters had finished their attacks.

"Don't think you're all set just because you've withstood this attack. My power is far from over. Entering Main Phase 2, I'll combine the circuits of 'Giant Dragon's Glow' and 'Sacred Dragon - Nine Dragons' to Link Summon a second 'Sacred Mark of the Celestial Sphere,' then Set 2 cards. End this turn."

"No, I never thought about that. The next round is the key to victory."

Looking at the sulking Blue Princess, Yuki said, "At the end of your turn, the 'Black Forest Witch,' resurrected by 'Anka Kuriboh,' goes to the Graveyard, and I then add 'Silver Parts' to my hand from my Deck."

"Now it's my turn, draw a card!"
