"Then let's continue dealing with the effect of 'Dimensional Mirror,' summon it via Attack Up and deal 2600 damage. Then activate the Quick-Play Spell: 'Dimensional Magic'!"

First, reduce Logan's LP to 800, then Yu Xi flips over the second face-down card.

"Based on this card's effect, Tribute 'Dimensional Mirror' to Special Summon 'Dark Forest Witch' from your hand (Spellcaster class). Then destroy 'Rain of Lightning Slasher Bird'!"

The "Dimensional Mirror," which transformed from a trap into a monster, disappeared from the field and was replaced by the Three-Eyed Witch, a favorite of Yuki.

The explosive light also engulfed "Black Feather's" Synchro Monster at the same time the witch appeared, sending it to the underworld before it could fully unleash its power.

"It's just cleverness; it can't really stop me."

Logan watched indifferently as Yu Xi finished her skillful maneuver, then said, "Use the 4-star 'South Wind Oster' to adjust the star level of the 3-star 'Hot Wind Kibli,' then Synchro Summon 'Black Feather Bird Trainer - Dark Eagle Craftsman Joe'!"

"Blackfeather Bird Trainer - Dark Eagle Craftsman Joe, Level 7/Dark/Bird/Synchro" "ATK: 2600/DEF: 2000"

Another Synchro Light flashed, reducing the number of monsters on Logan's field to a minimum, and a tribal warrior with a head full of red feathers as hair appeared from the light.

"Remove 'Shatsu of the Storm' from the Graveyard and recover 'Vata the Rogue.' Activate the effect of 'Blackwing Bird Trainer': Once per turn, Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher Winged Beast Monster from the Graveyard. The one to revive, of course, is 'Rainbow Bird of the Storm.'"

With a loud shout, the "Black Feather Bird Trainer" slammed his fist into the floor, sending countless black feathers flying as the warrior capable of cutting through lightning was summoned back.

However, Yu Xi was no stranger to "Black Feather Bird Trainer," so he certainly wouldn't be completely unprepared for this card.

"This resurrection will not succeed; the effect of 'Golden Coffin of Light' is activated!"

Yu Xi gestured to the golden cabinet in front of him and said in a deep voice, "If the opponent Special Summons a monster from the Graveyard, discard 1 Spell Card from your hand, target 1 of those monsters, and send that monster to the Graveyard!"

At the end of Yu-Gi-Oh! DM, Ryota uses the "Sealed Golden Chest" effect from the anime to send the resurrected "Sky Dragon" back to the graveyard. The scene shown here is a recreation of that moment.

Absorbing the power of Yuki's magic card, a dazzling light shot out from the Eye of Horus in the "Golden Chest of Light".

The newly resurrected "Rain of Lightning Slasher Bird" was enveloped in light, gradually dissolving and collapsing until it disappeared completely.

"However, the fact that a monster was Special Summoned from the Graveyard remains unchanged. The effect of 'Feast of Survival' allows me to draw 1 more card from my Deck."

Using the sustain provided by the banned cards, Logan replenished his hand with new cards from his deck.

The monster, which had been painstakingly revived, was destroyed, but this didn't shake Logan's resolve: "Although 'Rain of Lightning Slasher Bird' failed, you have very few face-down cards left. I've achieved half of my goal; now it's time for the real action. I'll activate the effect of 'Earthbound Prisoner Stone Sweeper' from my hand, discarding this card and adding any Level 3 or lower Fiend Tuners from my Deck to my hand. I choose 'Earthbound Prisoner Line Walker.'"

"Then activate the Spell Card: 'Earthbound Rescue' (Anime)! If there is a Field Spell Card on the field, add 1 'Earthbound' monster and 1 Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. Recycle 'Stone Sweeper' and 'Earthbound Fusion,' then activate 'Earthbound Fusion' to Fusion Summon 'Stone Sweeper' and 'Line Walker'! Born from the resentment of the earth, 'Earthbound Earthbound Enchantress'!"

Chapter 228 This is the Crimson King!

Fusion Summon! "Earthbound Earth-Painted Demoness!"

"Earthbound Earth-Painted Female Spirit, Level 6/Dark/Demon/Fusion" "ATK: 2000/DEF: 1000"

"[Earthbound] + Dark attribute monster"

Using the power of the un-O-ified anime cards, Logan reclaims his original Fusion Magic, and a familiar Fusion effect appears in the sky above him.

The earth-binding power coalesced within it, transforming into a completely new form.

A monster with golden stripes spreading across its body, huge curved horns extending from its forehead, and its forelimbs bound by chains appeared on the battlefield.

After Yuki completely suppressed the power of "Black Feather", it was "Earth Binding" that began to wreak havoc.

"When 'Earthbound Fairy' is Special Summoned, its effect activates: Add 1 'Earthbound' monster from your Deck to your hand. Then immediately use its ② effect: Target 1 DARK Synchro Monster you control; that monster can attack directly this turn. The monster we'll be targeting here is, of course, 'Blackwing Bird Trainer'!"

By bypassing the front-line barriers and directly slapping the player in the face, that's Logan's true killing move.

In this way, there is no need to worry about reducing the number of monsters on the opponent's field, and because Yuki has more monsters, it is also difficult to use hand traps such as "Kuriboo" and "Quick-Play Scarecrow" to stop the attack.

"Now let us receive the wrath of the Great Khajiit Empire, and enter the battle phase..."

Logan stretched out his hand, pointing at Yuki himself across from him, about to give his monster the order to kill.

But before that, several swords of light descended from the sky, blocking his monster's path.

Trap Card: "Light-Sealing Sword" activated!

Yu Xi said, "Ban this card from the graveyard from the game. This turn, your opponent's monsters cannot attack directly."

"The 'Sword of Light'... a card sent to the Graveyard by 'Fountain of Mana'?" Logan immediately remembered where Yuki's Graveyard card came from. "Then I'll activate a Quick-Play Spell: 'Dimensional Explosion'!"

"Return the Fusion Monster 'Geo-Grooze' to your Deck, then Special Summon up to 2 banished monsters from both players' fields. Come back, 'Geo-Grooze Squid' and 'Geo-Grooze Squid'!"

"...I will Special Summon 'Gandora the Destroyer - Forbidden' back."

The dimensional hole was opened, and with the sacrifice of the "Ground Painting Monster," Logan and Yuxi gained a new monster on their field.

Of course, Yu Xi's side still has the "upper hand" in terms of numbers, and this is the backup plan that Logan prepared in case the "Black Feather Bird Trainer" failed to attack.

"Activate the effect of 'Ground Squid' to add a new Field Spell from your Deck to your hand. Then activate the effect of 'Ground Sprite'."

[You can activate this effect during your or your opponent's Battle Phase. Banish monsters from your hand, field, or Graveyard as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon 1 "Earthbound" Fusion Monster.]

"Except for the 'Ground-Painted Spirit' and the 'Ground-Painted Squid,' supreme demon, descend from the earth's resentment! Fusion Summon, 'Earthbound Ringed Ground-Painted Winged Hound Demon'!!"

"Earthbound Winged Hound Demon, Level 10/Dark/Demon/Fusion" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 1800"

"[Earthbound] Fusion Monster + [Earthbound] Synchro Monster"

At Logan's announcement, the two "Earthbound" monsters, who had just returned from another dimension, were once again devoured by the power of fusion.

The flames of the underworld burst forth, and emerging from them was a winged demon with goat horns and crimson markings all over its body.

The intensity of the Feel waves it emits is far more terrifying than other "Earthbound" monsters. The only one that can rival it is probably "Earthbound God Veraco Chalaska".

"Since you used 'Light-Sealing Spirit Sword' to stop 'Black Feather Bird Trainer,' it means your face-down card isn't something like 'Magic Cylinder' or 'Shield.' 'Earth-Painting Winged Hound Demon' attacks 'Silent Swordsman Zero'! [Fire Hell]!"

Logan gave the order to attack, and the "Earth-Painting Winged Hound Demon" roared, stirring up a fierce wind.

A scorching crimson flame formed a spiraling tornado in front of its mouth, sweeping towards its target.

"Silent Swordsman Zero" raised its sword to meet the attack. Its attack power was equal to that of "Earth-Painting Winged Dog Demon". It was nothing more than a fight to the death, so it was not afraid.

But as soon as the sword touched the flame, "Silent Swordsman Zero" changed his expression.

"During damage calculation, the effect of 'Ground-Winged Hound Demon' activates, reducing the opponent's monster's ATK and DEF to 0."

Logan coldly stated, "No matter how high your monster's attack power is, it's meaningless before the 'Earth-Painting Winged Hound Demon.' This single strike will send you to true hell!"

"Sorry, Uncle Logan, I'm not interested in hell or anything like that."

The poisonous flames from the netherworld invaded the body of "Silent Swordsman Zero," causing him pain and rendering him unable to maintain his normal combat strength. Faced with such a perilous situation, Yuki still maintained his composure to the very end.

Even in such a perilous situation, there are ways to break free.

As for what this method is... the answer has already been laid out.

"During the damage calculation phase, the effect of the Spell Card 'Time Silence' in the Graveyard activates!"

[When a monster with the card name "Golden Chest of Light" battles, you can banish this card from your Graveyard to activate this effect. End that Battle Phase.]

Besides boosting the attack power of "Silent Swordsman Zero" and "Silent Magician Zero", "Time Silence" is also a powerful trump card for survival.

Naturally, "Silent Swordsman Zero" is also a monster related to "Golden Chest of Light".

"Excluding 'Time Silence,' this battle phase ends. Since the battle phase has ended, the battle between 'Silent Swordsman Zero' and 'Earth-Painting Winged Dog Demon' is invalid!"

"Click".

It sounded like the ticking of a clock.

Neither the flames of the "Earth-Painting Winged Dog Demon" nor the phantom of "Silent Swordsman Zero" passing through the flames caused any damage to "Silent Swordsman Zero".

As if time had been erased, the fact of the battle became a lie, and only the fact that the battle phase had ended remained.

"That magic card actually has this kind of effect..."

"I'm not going to give up so easily."

Yu Xi looked at Logan with a determined gaze and said, "I won't fall like this before I rescue Xue."

"Doing this will only lead to deeper despair."

Having his attacks repeatedly thwarted, Logan, in this state, gradually became more talkative, saying, "I activate the effect of 'Earthbound Fusion' ② in my Graveyard, banishing this card, and Special Summon 1 'Earthbound' monster from my Graveyard. Revive 'Earthbound Griffin'."

"When this monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, the effect of 'Survival Treasure Card' activates, and you draw 1 card. Then, you activate the effect of 'Griffin' to revive 'Earthbound Prisoner Line Walker' from your Graveyard, draw another card, and if 'Line Walker' is Special Summoned, add 'Otherworld Resonance Synchro Fusion' from your Deck to your hand."

"Then activate 'Angel's Charity,' draw 3 cards from your deck, then discard 2. Set 2 cards face down, and end your turn."

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

In the next turn, Yuki drew a card from her deck. Then, taking advantage of this moment, Logan said, "During my draw phase, the effect of 'Earthbound Griffin' activates, reviving 1 'Earthbound' monster from my Graveyard. I choose 'Earthbound God Veracocha Raska'."

The "Griffin of the Ground" stomped heavily on the ground, and ghostly flames rose from the cracked earth, coalescing into the form of a vulture-like land-bound god.

This is its third appearance, and it will once again bring endless killing intent.

If "Veracocha Lasca" is successfully Special Summoned, the effect of "Senju" draws 1, and simultaneously activates the Trap Card "Jibaku Liberation"!

[Earthbound Liberation (Normal Trap): When a Level 6 or higher monster is Normal or Special Summoned to the field, you can Tribute 1 Level 10 "Earthbound" monster you control to activate this effect. Destroy all monsters your opponent controls, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the combined original ATK of the destroyed monsters.]

"I release 'Earthbound God Veracocha Raska' to destroy all the monsters on your field."

The card stands upright, and the enormous hand in the card image gives people a sense of boundless oppression.

This sense of oppression was not merely superficial. When the Vulture Land God transformed into flames and infused it with power, a truly gigantic hand burst forth from the earth and pressed down on Yuxi's position.

Yuki has four monsters on the field, three of which have inflated attack power. But regardless of the inflated attack power, their combined attack power is enough to KO him on the spot.

Logan's murderous intent was relentless, not even allowing a moment's respite.

It was so cold it sent chills down my spine.

but--

“I told you, I won’t give up here, Uncle Logan!”

Yuki reached for the button on the duel disk and pressed it sharply—

"Chain your trap cards, activate your Ambush cards! 'Pharaoh's Judgment'!"

Chapter 229 Red Daddy is here!

The cover that Yu Xi lifted was slightly unusual.
