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

But this is good, this is the result Youxi wanted.

"The effect of 'Electromagnetic Warrior' activates! If destroyed by an opponent's card effect, Special Summon 3 banished 'Electromagnetic Warrior' lower-level cards to my field. The effect of 'Electromagnetic Warrior β' activates again, adding 'Magnetite Warrior β' from my Deck to my hand."

"Then, set a Link Mark with two monsters of the same attribute, 'Electromagnetic Stone Warrior Gamma' and 'Mikage Shishi,' and use Circuit Combination! Link Summon, L-ink2, 'Alliance Transport Vehicle'!"

"Alliance Transport Vehicle, L-ink2/Optical/Mechanical/Connection" "↓→, ATK: 1000"

With a rumble of engines, the ground train carrying several hangars emerged from the connecting gate.

Immediately afterwards, the special effects scene of the "Electromagnetic God's" descent was recreated on Yuki's field.

"Activate the effect of 'Magnet Warrior Delta' which was sent to the Graveyard, banish 3 other 'Magnet Warriors' of Level 4 or lower from your Graveyard, and Special Summon 'Magnet Warrior Electromagnetic Warrior' from your hand or Deck, ignoring all conditions!!"

"Magnetic Warrior Electromagnetic God of War, ATK: 3500"

Not even for a moment did the "Electromagnetic God" feel discouraged by his defeat. The one who rushed to the battlefield immediately was the original Magnet Combined Warrior, who was also the "Electromagnetic God's" good brother.

Yuki had summoned it in a battle with Izayoi Yuki before, and now he would also use its power to break through the high attack suppression of "Cyber ​​Dragon Triumph".

"Activate the effect of 'Alliance Transporter' to equip 'Brick Dragon' from your deck as an Equip Card that increases ATK by 1000 to 'Electromagnetic Warrior'."

Perhaps because of the card "Brick Man" in Yugi Muto's deck, "Brick Dragon" was also included in the Yugi Muto style card series. The hangar on the back of the Alliance vehicle was opened, and the dragon made of various colored bricks transformed into a second sword, which was held in the hand of "Electromagnetic Warrior".

This raises the attack power of "Electromagnetic War God" to 45000, which is useless even if "Electronic Dragon Triumph" increases the attack of "Infinite".

"I attack 'Electromagnetic War God' with 'Electro-Dragon: Infinite', [Magnet Sword]!"

Beneath its simple and unadorned name lies a sword strike that sends the air whistling through the air.

The "Electromagnetic Warrior" unleashed a fierce sword strike without mercy at the "Electro Dragon Infinite," whose attack power had dropped back to 2100 after losing its materials. The strike successfully cleaved through the alloy armor, and the resulting explosion immediately engulfed the Xyz Dragon.

Akabane Ryo's LP: 5900 → 3500

"Shouldn't we activate the 'Triumph' effect?"

"Cyber ​​Dragon Infinity" was defeated, successfully inflicting a large amount of damage on Akabane Ryo, but Yuki did not feel much joy.

After all... Akabane Ryo's expression never changed from beginning to end.

"Because there is no need to initiate it."

Akabane Ryo said in a deep voice, "The 'Infinity' mission is complete, so leaving here won't have any impact. Conversely, as long as you retain the 'Triumphant' effect, your remaining monsters will no longer be able to defeat my remaining monsters."

"...You're really quite calm, senior."

Yuki had to admit that if he were in Akabane Ryo's position, he would probably have made the same choice.

Although doing so will significantly reduce your life points, it allows you to retain the most monsters, which is very advantageous for counterattacks in the next turn.

While he seemed to have achieved good results in this round, he hadn't actually caused any serious damage to Akabane Ryo.

"Now, let's move on to Main Phase 2. I'll stack the remaining two 3-star 'Electromagnetic Stone Warriors' on the field to Light, then Xyz Summon, Rank 3, 'Iron Giant'!"

"Iron Giant, Tier 3/Ground/Rock/Xyz" "ATK: 1300/2000"

"Rock-type Level 3 Monster x2"

The nebula vortex unfolded, and out emerged a colossal steel giant.

The giant stood like a fortress in front of Yu Xi, protecting him from behind.

"Set one card face-down to the back row, end the turn."

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

The third round of the battle finally returned to Akabane Ryo's rhythm.

He drew a card from his deck, and at the same time, Yuki declared, "During the preparation phase, I'm going to activate the effect of 'Steel Giant' immediately!"

[While this card is face-up on the field, it is unaffected by the effects of other monsters. Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. This card gains 1000 DEF until the End Phase, and this turn, any effect damage you take from your opponent's cards becomes 0. This effect can be activated during your opponent's turn.]

"Temporarily increase the 'Iron Giant's' defense to 3000, and grant me immunity to your effect damage this turn!"

The increase in defense is negligible, since a 3000 or 4000 stat on the back doesn't make much difference in front of "Cyber ​​Dragon".

The key point is the description of the subsequent effects.

"So you've avoided a future defeat due to effects like burning blood? But you've gone to unnecessary trouble, Yuuki. I never intended to defeat you that way."

Akabane Ryo glanced at the card he had drawn, then tapped his Duel Disk, and a face-down card in the back row popped up.

"Continuous Trap Card activated: 'DNA Modification Surgery' activated! Based on this card's effect, I declare myself a Machine-Type monster, changing the Type of all monsters on the field to Machine-Type."

"They've all turned into machines... Oh no!"

Youxi realized something was wrong, but it was too late.

"Send all your Machine-Type monsters and my Cyber ​​Dragon to the Graveyard, let them merge and become the light of evolution! Fusion Summon! Chimera Fortress Dragon!!"

As soon as Akabane Ryo finished speaking, "Electronic Dragon," "Alliance Transport Vehicle," "Radiant Light Spirit Master Lena," "Silent Swordsman LV7," "Magnet Warrior Electromagnetic War God," and "Iron Giant Soldier" all shattered into a pile of steel parts.

Countless parts gathered behind him, forming a gigantic mechanical dragon.

Its body appears to be made of steel tires connected together, exuding an astonishing aura.

"Chimera Fortress Dragon, Level 8/Dark/Mechanical/Fusion" "ATK: 0/DEF: 0"

"[Cyber ​​Dragon] + 1 or more Machine-type monsters"

"Chimera Fortress Dragon can be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by sending the required Fusion Materials from the field to the Graveyard. This Special Summon does not require the participation of Fusion. Furthermore, its original ATK becomes 1000 times the number of Fusion Materials, which is 6000 points."

"...If 'Brick Dragon' is sent from the field to the Graveyard, its effect activates. Add up to 3 Rock-Type monsters from my Deck to my hand, up to a total of 8 Levels."

Akabane Ryo looked at Yuki's empty field and said in a deep voice, "Now that 'Silent Swordsman LV7' is off the field, I can use a Spell Card. Open the face-down card, activate the Normal Spell: 'Cyber ​​Emergency Call'!"

【Cyber ​​Emergency Call (Normal Spell): Add 1 "Cyber ​​Dragon" monster or a Machine-Type LIGHT monster that cannot be Normal Summoned from your Deck to your hand.】

As Yuki had previously guessed, Akabane Ryo's face-down cards did indeed contain magic cards.

But the true appearance of this magic card was not good news for him.

"I add 'Cyber ​​Dragon Next Star' to my hand and Summon it in Attack Position."

"Electronic Dragon - Next-Generation Star, Level 1/Light/Mechanical" "ATK: 200/DEF: 200"

Its body glowed with fluorescence, and wings extended from both sides, like a mechanical dragon that had traveled from a futuristic technological world, emerging from the car and hissing.

"If the effect of 'Cyber ​​Dragon Next Generation' is activated, and it is Normal or Special Summoned, Special Summon 1 Machine-Type monster with 2100 ATK or DEF from your Graveyard. After this effect is activated, I cannot Special Summon monsters that are not Machine-Type. Revive, 'Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite'!"

For the third time, Akabane Ryo summoned "Cyber ​​Dragon," powered by Xyz, back onto the field.

Those steel wings were slightly open, releasing a ferocity that no one could ignore.

"Cyber ​​Dragon Next Generation is in attack position. I will use the effect of 'Infinity' to absorb it as 'Infinity' material..."

"A chain reaction triggers a perpetual sustainability trap: 'The Rules of One Clan'!"

Yu Xi's voice rang out simultaneously with Akabane Ryo's, and his only cover card was raised at that moment.

Like the "DNA modification surgery," a certain regulation was imposed on the entire battlefield along with this card.

“Declare a race. As long as this card is on the field, monsters of the declared race cannot declare an attack. I want to declare a Machine-type monster, of course!” Yu Xi said.

"The Rules of One Clan... Is this a card specifically included in my deck?"

"After all, the senior students' decks are all very simple in terms of card types."

Regardless of the existence of "DNA modification surgery", Akabane Ryo's deck originally did not contain any monsters other than Machine-type.

This trap card, activated just before the "Infinite" suppression ability takes effect again, can seal away all of Akabane Ryo's attack possibilities.

"If the card you have in your hand is something like 'Whirlwind,' then I lose."

You Xi said, "I have no other means to block your attack. If you do, show it now."

"I really want to do that, but unfortunately, my luck with gacha pulls seems to be a bit worse than yours."

Akabane Ryo shook his head slightly. He didn't intend to use his only card; instead, he put it directly into the Duel Disk.

"I also set one card face down, end of turn."

"Then it's my turn again!"

Having successfully survived Akabane Ryo's aggressive attack, Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression remained somewhat grave.

Admittedly, Akabane Ryo didn't manage to draw the Break Queen card, but the current situation is extremely unfavorable for him; simply surviving is not enough.

But relying on the cards in hand won't break the deadlock; we'll have to wait and see how this card draw goes.

Even though she has experienced similar situations many times, Yu Xi still gets a little nervous now.

After all, this duel is crucial to whether Kiyosumi High School can stand out from the preliminaries and advance to the next round of the main tournament. The importance and nature of this duel are completely different from ordinary duels.

The sounds of monsters summoning and causing destruction could be faintly heard from not far away. Looking to the left and right, Izayoi Yuki and Hoshino Mai were both engaged in fierce battles, and it would probably take some time before a winner was decided.

Seemingly sensing their gaze, the girls turned to look back. Hoshinobu had a gentle smile on her lips, while Izayoi Yuki nodded slightly to her.

Neither of them spoke, but everything was understood without words.

...If the two girls were to be eliminated because of his own actions, Yu Xi would never be able to forgive himself.

However, there won't be any problems.

because……

"This is the deck I trust."

You Xi took a deep breath to calm her turbulent emotions.

His fingers returned to the deck, feeling the warm touch between his fingertips, and his hesitation vanished—

"My turn, draw a card!"
