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

At the very center of the purplish-red card is a person with a dignified and sharp face.

With hair as bright as stars, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and a golden eye ornament on his forehead that makes him look even more majestic, and an inverted pyramid hanging on his chest—these features are very familiar to those who know DM, and they all point to a unique individual.

It was Atum, who reigned over the Egyptian dynasty in the name of Pharaoh three thousand years ago!

“That card…”

Logan's voice was filled with doubt and unease. He sensed something extremely unusual and dangerous about the trap card that Yuxi had activated.

"The effect of 'Pharaoh's Judgment' is to pay half of your Life Points, and apply effects based on the Spell Cards in my Graveyard."

Yu Xi said in a deep voice, "When I have 'Unity UNI TY' in my graveyard, until the end of the turn, the effects of Spell & Trap Cards on my opponent's field are negated, they cannot be activated or Set, and their effects cannot be activated and are negated!"

"What did you say!?"

The most ruthless and brutal suppression and blockade against Spell & Trap Cards is rightfully called "Pharaoh's Punishment," and the so-called true "Wrath of the King" is probably only at this level.

Logan was clearly caught off guard by this move.

"When did the card 'Unity UNI TY' go to the Graveyard?"

“There was only one chance.” Yu Xi gestured to the Continuous Spell Card in her back row. “When I sent ‘Rain of Lightning Slash Bird’ back to the Graveyard, the Spell Card I discarded was ‘Unity UNI TY’!”

"Back then...!"

Logan realized what was happening, but it was too late to cut his losses: "Discard 'Misty Wood,' and for each monster you Special Summon this turn, I will recover Life Points equal to that monster's ATK. Then activate the Continuous Trap: 'Dark Dimension Liberation'!"

【Dark Dimension Liberation (Continuous Trap): You can activate this card by targeting 1 of your banished DARK monsters. Special Summon that monster. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster and banish it. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card.】

"Based on this card's effect, Special Summon the banished 'Blackwing Strike Dragon' back in Defense Position."

"Pharaoh's Judgment" can only completely suppress spell traps after it officially takes effect; spell traps activated before that can continue to be applied.

The dimensional hole opened, and a giant dragon with black wings flew out and coiled above Logan's head, filling the void left by the departure of "Earthbound God Veracocha Raska".

"Then the chain reverses, and because of 'Pharaoh's Judgment,' all my backrow Spell & Trap effects are nullified. But during the Preparation Phase, your monster 'Silent Swordsman Zero' will be forced to activate its effect and level up. At that moment, 'Blackwing Assault Dragon' will gain a Blackfeather Counter and inflict 700 damage to you!"

"what……"

[Yu Xi's LP: 10001 → 301]

The effect of "Silent Swordsman Zero" is guaranteed to trigger, which inevitably made him a traitor. The feather arrow from "Blackwing Assault Dragon" pierced through Yuki's body, severely reducing his health.

...Fortunately, Youxi had restored his health with "Extraordinary Food" beforehand, otherwise the outcome would have been decided at this moment.

Even so, he is now in great danger.

"You only have 301 LP left. Although you're no longer under the pressure of 'Clockwork,' if you activate just one more monster effect, 'Blackwing Strike Dragon' will burn all your LP. And if you try to Special Summon 'Radiant Prince Paradios,' not only do I have 'Lower Moon Archer Bird' in my Graveyard, but 'Mitsuki' will restore my LP when you successfully Special Summon a monster."

Logan said, "Don't even think about using 'Gandora Forbidden's' effect to clear the field. If 'Earthbound Griffin' is destroyed by your opponent, it can inflict damage equal to 300 times the number of 'Earthbound' monsters on your opponent's field or in their Graveyard. The moment 'Gandora's' effect activates, your defeat will be sealed!"

"However, you still have 'Blackfeather Bird Trainer' in attack stance on your field; it's not 'Earth-Painting Winged Hound Demon.'"

Yu Xi said, "The difference between the attack power of my three monsters and your remaining life points far exceeds yours. Even if I don't activate any monster effects, I can still defeat you!"

"You can try it."

Yu Xi's reminder only earned her a cold response from Logan, which made Yu Xi frown.

Even if "Blackwing Bird Trainer" is on the field in attack position, it doesn't matter... Does this mean I have hand traps in my hand?

In his memory, the "Blackwing" family did indeed have a hand trap card called "Blackwing - Kart of the Moon Shadow," but discarding that card would only increase the attack power of "Blackwing" monsters by a maximum of 1400 points. It was okay to contend with "Silent Swordsman Zero," but it was not enough against the current "Gandora Forbidden" and "Silent Magician Zero."

Of course, it's also possible that Logan is just bluffing.

To be honest, it was difficult for Youxi to tell from Logan's face which possibility it was.

"However, it doesn't matter. From the very beginning of this round, I never intended to use any 'forbidden' effects or attacks."

Youxi glanced at the card he had just drawn. With this card, he already held the key to victory in his hands.

Mr. Jonouchi, now...

I need to borrow your strength.

Yu Xi murmured to herself, then without further hesitation or waiting, inserted the card into the Duel Disk—

"During the Main Phase, I activate the Spell Card from my hand: 'Red-Eyes Fusion'!"

【Red-Eyes Fusion (Normal Spell): Send the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Fusion Monster Card from your hand, Deck, or field to the Graveyard, then Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster that used a "Red-Eyes" monster as Fusion Material from your Extra Deck. The name of the monster Special Summoned by this effect is treated as "Red-Eyes Black Dragon".】

This is a Fusion Spell exclusive to the "Red-Eyes" deck. Yuki borrowed this card from Ranpo Jonouchi before the operation officially began.

Theoretically, this card and his deck have absolutely no connection whatsoever.

But all of this changed after the real transportation captain dedicated himself to the project.

The moment he officially obtained the "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", a powerful card in his mental space was officially unlocked and awakened.

"Based on this card's effect, I send 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' and 'Dark Magician' from my deck to the Graveyard. At the moment the dragon of possibility collides with the power of magic, a supreme warrior surpassing all will be born! Fusion Summon, proof of friendship, 'Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight'!!"

"Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight, Level 8/Dark/Mage/Fusion" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

"[Dark Magician] + [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] or a Dragon-type Effect Monster"

Crimson flames exploded, and the cold-faced master was bathed in the flames, reborn amidst the roar of the crimson-eyed dragon.

It was clad in black dragon armor, with scarlet jewels scattered all over it. Its ferocious and majestic dragon wings spread out behind it, allowing it to hover high in the sky and look down on everything on the earth.

An even stronger fluctuation of Feel also emanates from it.

That was a power that was absolutely no less than that of any monster.

Logan LP: 800 → 3800

"It's actually 'Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight'!?"

First came "Pharaoh's Judgment," followed by "Super Magical Dragon Knight." The two cards that Yuki pulled out in one go this turn greatly alarmed Logan, and sounded the loudest alarm in his mind.

The self-restriction of "Red-Eyes Fusion" is extremely severe, meaning that Yuuki won't be able to summon any monsters afterward, making any future expansions virtually impossible. However, this also means that the monsters summoned by Yuuki at such a huge cost are worth doing so.

What is it——

"The effect of 'Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight' is activated!"

Yu Xi didn't keep Logan waiting long, saying, "During the Main Phase, you can choose one monster your opponent controls and destroy it, inflicting damage equal to that monster's original ATK. What I'm going to destroy is 'Blackwing Assault Dragon,' [Super Magical Soul Slash]!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Logan LP: 3800 → 600

The blade, burning with flames, flashed past, slicing through the neck of the "Blackwing Assault Dragon" as easily as cutting through butter. The explosive flames instantly engulfed Logan, causing him to let out the loudest scream he had ever heard.

Although the damage dealt by "Silent Magician Zero" was stronger, Logan was suffering more pain from "Super Magical Dragon Knight" at this moment.

Large, dark blue flames burst forth from his body.

And it's not over yet.

"The number of times this effect of 'Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight' can be activated depends on the number of Normal Monsters in the Fusion Material you use."

Yu Xi held up two fingers and said, "This time, its fusion materials are the monsters 'Dark Magician' and 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon,' so it can be used twice."

"What?! It can be used twice?! That won't do."

Logan, still severely injured, swung his arm violently: "Before you activate this effect, activate the effect of 'Blackwing - Lower Moon Light Bowbird'! If you control a 'Blackwing' Synchro Monster, banish this card from your Graveyard, then destroy 1 card your opponent controls. Destroy 'Red-Eyes Dragon Knight'!"

"it's useless!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xi calmly replied, "Red-Eyes Dragon Knight cannot be targeted by effects, nor can it be destroyed by effects. Therefore, Lower Moon Light Bowbird cannot target Dragon Mage, and even if it could, it could not destroy it."

Logan's final graveyard interference is nothing compared to Red Daddy's.

In the end, it can only destroy other monster cards.

Even so, Yu Xi did not intend to let Logan succeed.

"The effect of 'Silent Swordsman Zero' activates! Negate the activation of opponent's monster effects targeting 'Golden Chest of Light' and related monsters, and increase its Level by 1. Then, the effect of 'Dragon Spellcaster' activates again, destroying 'Earthbound Winged Hound Demon', followed by [Super Magical Soul Slash]!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Logan LP: 600 → 0

Chapter 230, the final stage (refreshed)

Under the blazing sun, the slash unleashed by "Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight" shattered "Earthbound Ring Earth-Winged Hound Demon" without any hindrance.

Carrying Yu Xi's will and Feel, as well as Red Dad's own Feel power, the detonated flames and impact force bombarded Logan, sending him flying.

As Logan was blasted away by the attack of the Crimson Flame, the dark blue flames on his body scattered as if they had encountered their natural enemy. The bird-face mask on his face shattered instantly, revealing Logan's pale and pained face inside.

An angry shriek rang out, and the phantom of the Vulture Land God emerged from Logan, who was flying backward, glaring angrily at Yuxi, as if he wanted to do something else.

But as the "Super Magical Dragon Knight" slammed his longsword into the ground and let out a cold snort, the Earthbound God phantom, without the support and reliance of a duelist, suddenly became unstable and swayed before disappearing.

"Haha, it seems that the so-called god is just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

The Dark Witch, who hadn't gotten a chance to participate in the duel, couldn't help but laugh at this scene.

However, Yuki doesn't have the time to agree with the Black Witch right now.

When the Earthbound God of the Vulture disappeared and the azure flames that formed the Dark Duel Barrier vanished, he knew that Logan should have recovered from the Earthbound God's control.

Therefore, without even bothering to put away the Duel Disk, he immediately rushed towards Logan as the monsters, including Red Daddy, disappeared on their own and became alert to their surroundings.

"Uncle Logan, are you alright?"

"Cough...cough cough...Idiot, do I look like someone who's alright?"

As soon as You Xi uttered her worried words, she was met with an unfriendly reply.

Logan managed to lift his head. Although his face was very pale and weak, his eyes were incredibly bright, no longer showing the cold indifference he had shown before.

He looked at the boy who had just beaten him until he vomited blood, a smile spreading across his face: "You little rascal, it's only been a few days, and you've gotten so strong. But... you did a good job this time!"

Normally, being beaten so badly by a junior would make him feel ashamed, and he might even be "angry and embarrassed".

But this time it's different.

It's a great thing that You Xi was able to defeat me so quickly.
