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

Like priests serving a king, they kneel on the ground, offering their endless and eternal loyalty to their king.

"Guardian Priest Mahad, Level 7/Light/Mage" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100"

"The Guardian Priest Mahad... is he a monster from the same source as the Dark Magician?"

Even though the names are different, their almost identical appearances and attack and defense stats make it easy to associate them. Ranpo Jounouchi stared at the new ace that Yuki had called out, and felt a powerful force that was different from other monsters.

I wonder what kind of effect this monster will have.

But it doesn't matter, as long as we get rid of it before Yu Xi can use its effects.

"If 'Guardian Priest Mahad' is successfully Special Summoned, activate the Trap Card: 'Lightning Strike'!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Jonouchi Ranpo immediately used his last card.

"Discard 'Golden Cat' from your hand, then destroy 1 card on the field. The one to destroy, of course, is 'Guardian Priest Mahad'!"

"It's no use, Jonouchi-kun. Chain 'Lightning Strike', the effect of 'Guardian Priestess Mana' in the Graveyard activates."

Upon hearing this, Youxi's expression remained unchanged; he simply took out a card from the graveyard.

"When a monster you control becomes the target of an effect on your opponent's field, this card is Special Summoned from your Graveyard. Also, as long as this card is on the field, Level 7 or higher Spellcaster monsters cannot be destroyed by card effects."

With the destruction of the "Dark Magician of Fantasy", the "Guardian Priestess Mana" naturally returned to the graveyard as well.

At this moment, at Yu Xi's shout, Mana, dressed as an Egyptian priest, returned to his position and casually cast a magical barrier of light to deflect all the incoming lightning.

Unlike the time with the "Chaos Wizard," this time "Mana" truly unleashed its power, causing the chaotic procession within the city to return empty-handed.

What this means is self-evident.

"Now you've used up all your face cards, Jonouchi-kun, so you can't stop me anymore."

Having lost all remaining hesitation and considering his hand, Yuuki quickly arrived at the optimal solution, declaring, "I activate the Spell Card: 'Spider Silk.' This card's effect is to add 1 card that your opponent sent to the Graveyard last turn to my hand. I choose 'Dragon's Mirror.'"

"Why take the 'Dragon's Mirror' instead of the 'Fate's Decree'?"

Yuki's choice surprised Jounouchi Ranpo.

By any measure, the "Fate's Treasure" is far more useful than the "Dragon's Mirror." With a bit of luck, you might just be able to draw six cards like he did just now.

"That was an option, but it's no longer necessary. I already have the key cards to turn the tide in my hand."

As the spider silk penetrates deeper into the graveyard of the city's chaotic wanderings, a card is pulled out from it, and the game, holding it in his hand, plays it without hesitation.

"Spell Card activated 'Dragon's Mirror'! This card's effect probably needs no explanation, Jonouchi. I banish 'Dark Magician' and 'Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman' from my Graveyard to Fusion Summon! Descend, 'Dragon Magician Dark Magician'!"

"Dragon Magic Knight Dark Mage, Level 8/Dark/Dragon/Fusion" "ATK: 2900/DEF: 2400"

"[Dark Magician] + Dragon/Warrior monster of 7 stars or higher"

The scene that was just shown in the last round is repeated. The "Cursed Dragon", whose body is covered with magical armor, flies out from the mirror that symbolizes another world and stands opposite the dragons on Jonouchi Ranpo's side.

As a high-level monster, "Cursed Dragon" only has the advantage of needing one less tribute than "Red-Eyes Black Dragon". It is usually used as a fusion material to summon "Dragon Knight Gaia" series monsters.

But this time, riding on the back of the "Cursed Dragon" is not the "Cursed Dragon's" eternal good partner, "Dark Knight Gaia," but Yuki's soul servant—"Black Magician."

This is the second puzzle piece that Yu Xi needs to win, followed by the last one.

"Activate the Equip Spell Card: 'Sword in the Stone,' equip this card to 'Guardian Priest Mahad,' doubling its ATK. Then proceed to the Battle Phase!"

You Xi pointed towards the chaotic battleground within the city.

"Go! Guardian Priest Mahad, attack the Demon Dragon Dark Dragon!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, "Guardian Priest Mahad" leaped into the sky.

Magic gathered beneath its feet, forming an invisible platform to support it. Despite possessing the legendary Broken Steel Sword, it did not transform into a berserker to engage the dragon in physical combat. Instead, it raised it high as a magic staff, its entire body's magic surging from the sword's tip, unfolding into an incomparably dazzling magic circle in the sky.

After its attack power was doubled by the "Sword in the Stone", the current "Guardian Priest" has a combat power of about 5000 points, which is far beyond the power that the "Dark Demon Dragon" can resist.

But they were not afraid of the chaos within the city.

"That's not enough to beat me, Yu Xi! Don't forget, my current health is more than 50 times yours!"

After significantly replenishing his health using the effect of "Rainbow Life", Ranpo Jounouchi has not suffered any damage since then, and his LP remains above 9000.

This is also the source of Ranpo's confidence within the castle.

Even if the "Dark Demon Dragon" is destroyed, it will only suffer a maximum of 1800 damage, which is negligible.

but--

"No, he's already a checkmate, Jonouchi-kun."

Things did not go as he had imagined.

Yuki explained, "The effect of 'Guardian Priest Mahad' is that when this card battles a DARK monster, its ATK is doubled during damage calculation. Since its ATK is currently 5000, that means it will become 10000."

"What? Attack power of 10000!?"

"Furthermore, this effect doesn't chain, meaning it won't be sealed by the 'Dark Demon Dragon.' Defeat the 'Dark Demon Dragon,' 'Mahad,' [Star Chart Chronicles]!!"

In the instant that Ranpo's pupils constricted within the castle, Yuki had already given the final order.

A shower of light crashed down, engulfing the demon dragon and tearing it apart completely with a combination of quantity and quality of magical radiance.

—Destroyed by "Dark Demon Dragon".

"Ahhhhh!!"

【Jouchi Ranpo LP: 9400 → 2600】

With a single strike, nearly 7000 points of combat damage were deducted from Jonouchi Ranpo's health. Such massive damage, combined with the impact of Feel, caused Jonouchi Ranpo to let out a cry of pain.

But this is not over yet.

Even with just that, it still wouldn't be enough to defeat Jonouchi Ranpo. He still has too many health points. Unless the attack power of "Guardian Priest Mahad" can be increased significantly, it's simply too difficult to achieve a decisive victory with combat damage alone.

That's why Yuki called out "Dragon Magic Black Knight" beforehand.

"The effect of 'Dragon Mage Black Knight' is activated!"

[Once per turn, when your monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK.]

The damage dealt to the destroyed monster is equal to its original attack power, plus the damage from the previous battle, which is roughly equivalent to a direct attack of 10,000 points from "Guardian Priest Mahad".

With Ranpo's remaining health, it was clear that he wouldn't be able to withstand another attack.

"This is the last one, Jonouchi-kun. [Explosive Magic Thrust]!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The magical dragon knight unleashed a storm of crimson and black flames, instantly piercing through the chaos within the city.

【Jouchi Ranpo LP: 2600 → 0】

——Winner: You Xi.

Calvin, leave slip

I haven't finished coding yet, so I'll take a day off to adjust my mindset.

Chapter 173 Giant Eye Get√! Buy the True Red Eye?

"Oh! You're back!"

"Welcome back."

Two distinct girlish voices, one lively and one calm, rang in Youxi's ears one after the other.

Looking around, You Xi realized that he had returned to the collection room inside "Chaos and the Pig-Slaughtering Knife".

The ones who had just called him were his two female companions.

A little to the side was his opponent, with whom he had fought a fierce and evenly matched duel.

"Are you done playing? You were pretty fast."

Shopkeeper Gao Wen, a cigarette dangling from his lips, enjoyed the pleasure of puffing away at a distance from the others. Upon seeing Yuki and Ranpo Jounouchi return, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I was thinking you'd have to drag it out a bit longer, but the outcome was decided much faster than I expected. So, who won?"

—No, judging from the situation, it seems there's no need to ask anymore.

Before Yuki could answer, Gao Wen could vaguely guess the answer from the different expressions and reactions of Yuki and Ranpo.

However, a certain blue-eyed loli didn't have such good eyesight.

"Is that even a question?"

With a rabbit-ear-shaped scarf swaying gently above her head, Mashiro, the seahorse with her arms crossed over her chest, said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Yuki would never lose to anyone other than me. It's obvious without even asking; he won the duel beautifully. Am I right, Yuki?"

"Ah... in terms of the outcome, that's certainly the case."

Yuuki felt a little embarrassed by Kaiba Mashiro's overly high praise; he didn't think he was that invincible. But at least this time, Kaiba Mashiro wasn't wrong.

He did indeed win the trial duel.

Seeing that the game gave an affirmative answer, Kaiba Mashiro happily said, "See, I told you it would be like this."

Xingye Wu's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Oh, so that means Xiaoxi has gained recognition from that 'No.' card?"

"Yes, the card is right here."

In Youxi's palm was a card with a black background and the card name was a line of gold-embossed numbers.

It's easy to tell who won and who lost from this point alone, but everyone's attention was focused on You Xi and the other person who suddenly returned to reality, so they didn't notice it immediately.

And the effect panel of the "Giant Eye," holding the number 11 "No." card, was no longer concealed like the Riddler's, displaying lines of text unique to this world, completely revealing its power to everyone.

This is the first "No." card that Yu Xi obtained.

Regardless of the effect of "Giant Eye", having this card means expanding the scope of tactics, which will likely open up more possibilities in future duels.

Furthermore, Yuki could also sense that "Giant Eye" was a good fit for his deck. He had excellent synergy with it.

but……

“Excuse me, Jonouchi.” Yuki looked at another boy wearing a flat cap who had seemed a little dazed since earlier. “This card should have been yours.”

"Nothing."
