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

However, while self-discipline is strong, it also has forces to match it.

"Crimson Resonator's second effect activated!"

[If you control only 1 Dragon-Type DARK Synchro Monster other than this card: Special Summon up to 2 "Resonator" monsters from your hand or Deck, except "Crimson Resonator".]

Special Summon "Horizon Resonator" and "Synchro Resonator" from your Deck.

"Vision Resonator, Level 2/Adjustment, DEF: 400"

"Synchron Clone Resonator, Rank 1/Tuner, DEF: 100"

The Crimson Resonator struck the tuning fork again, but this time not to synchronize with the tuner. Instead, it used the clear, penetrating power of the tuning fork as a signal to summon two companions of its own kind.

Then the second synchronized light shone.

"The 'Visionary Resonator' has tuned 'Crimson Rising Dragon', and the majesty of the king is now revealed! Behold the earth-shattering power! Synchro Summon! 'True Crimson Demon'!"

The tuning fork made a pleasant sound, accompanying the earth-shaking roar of the dragon.

The emerald green star ring was tinged with crimson light by the "Crimson Lotus Rising Dragon." Moments later, the flames on its entire body were shattered, and a dark red dragon, identical to the original "Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon," roared and descended.

"True Crimson Demon, Level 8/Dark/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

"True Crimson Demon"...

Looking at the familiar back of the giant dragon standing in front of her, it would be impossible for Izayoi Yuki not to have mixed feelings.

In a real incident five years ago, she was so traumatized that she awakened the guardian spirit "Crimson Dragon" on the spot.

For duelists, their Guardian Spirit is undoubtedly the closest and most trusted presence. In Izayoi Yuki's heart, only the "Black Rose Dragon," left behind by her mother to accompany her, can be compared to it. However, the Crimson Dragon incident shows that the "Crimson Dragon" is not as simple as a Guardian Spirit, which makes her unsure how to face the "Crimson Dragon."

However, after so many days, this knot in her heart has been relieved a lot, and she also understands that she should take action when necessary, so she did not hesitate or waver in her actions.

"When 'Vision Resonator' enters the Graveyard, search for 1 'Crimson Dragon' related Spell/Trap Card. Then, use a Level 1 'Synchro Resonator' and 'True Crimson Dragon' to Synchro Summon 'Crimson Dragon Abyss'. Unleash your fury, O Demon Lord liberated from the darkness of the abyss! Synchro Summon! Synchro Summon 'Crimson Dragon Abyss'."

"Crimson Lotus Demon of the Jade Dragon, Level 9/Dark/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

As its body passed through the Star-Adjusting Ring, the "Crimson Lotus Demon" underwent a further sublimation and evolution. Its physique became even larger and more imposing, and the axe blades on its two arms gleamed coldly.

Seeing Izayoi Yuki summon "Crimson Demon" and "Abyss" in succession, the people in the audience were surprisingly calm.

This is helpful for the D Alliance's publicity and Yuki's influence. Although the relationship between "Guren" and "Guren Demon Dragon" is complicated, most people can still face Izayoi Yuki with a relatively calm attitude, and will not treat her like Uzumaki Naruto. After all, apart from a very few insiders, no one knows that Guren is not completely dead. Most people still think that Guren has been destroyed by Yuki.

Since the evil god Crimson Lotus is already dead, there is no problem with Izayoi Yuki using the "Crimson Lotus Demon" deck. In fact, many people sympathize with her for suffering an undeserved misfortune.

After "Crimson Lotus Demon Abyss" appeared, Izayoi Yuki's subsequent actions were quite similar to Crimson Lotus's.

This is an inevitable consequence of similar deck types.

"Both 'Synchro Resonator' and 'Crimson Dragon' have a 'Last Word' effect: Special Summon 'Crimson Dragon' from your Extra Deck, then recycle 'Vision Resonator' from your Graveyard."

As the crimson flames burned, the original "Crimson Dragon" emerged from the fire. Izayoi Yuki then inserted the retrieved magic cards into the Spell & Trap slots of the Duel Disk.

"Then activate the Continuous Spell: 'Crimson Hell Land,' using its effect to add 'Crimson Dragon's Jar' from your Deck to your hand and activate it. This card's effect is: if 'Crimson Dragon' is on the field, draw 2 cards from your Deck. Then, use the Level 2 'Crimson Resonator' to Level up the Level 8 'Crimson Dragon,' Synchro Summoning 'Dragon's Lament of the Underworld'!"

"Netherworld Turbid Dragon's Lament, Level 10/Dark/Dragon/Synchronization" "ATK: 4000/DEF: 4000"

The final Synchro Light burst forth, but this time it summoned not the evolved form of "Crimson Dragon," but another heavyweight Dark Dragonmon.

Its body, over ten meters tall, blocked out the sunlight, casting a deep shadow around the girl. Pale bone armor and a ferocious, demonic face on its chest spoke of its savage terror. It was one of the cards seized from Makoto, and now, temporarily, it had become one of Izayoi Yuki's subordinates.

"Set 3 cards face down, my turn is over."

After summoning "Netherworld Turbid Dragon's Lament", Izayoi Yuki seemed to have nothing else to do, so she sealed the back row and announced the turn rotation.

Then, after listening to the story for a long time, Kaiba Mashiro couldn't wait to draw a card from his deck.

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

A small hand pulled out a card, the rabbit ears and scarf on her head swaying in the wind. The black-haired, blue-eyed loli glanced at the card she had just drawn and confidently said, "Hmph, summoning 'Crimson Demon Abyss' right from the start, and having three face-down cards is indeed quite good. But these things can't stop me. Now I'll show you the power of 'Blue-Eyes'! Izayoi—reveal 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from your hand, Special Summon 'Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon' from your hand!"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Level 8/Light/Dragon" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

Kaiba Mashiro picked out two cards from his hand, revealing one and placing the other on the Duel Disk.

"Roar--!"

A white light coalesced behind Kaiba Mashiro, transforming into a giant dragon with sharp lines. Fine arcs of electricity spread across the dragon's body, and its roar was majestic and powerful, its aura and intensity on par with Izayoi Yuki's dragon beast.

Previously, "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" could only be used as a substitute for the real thing by Mashiro Kaiba. Now that "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" has returned, it can finally make its appearance in a proper way.

"The effect of 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' activates once per turn. At the cost of being unable to attack this turn, destroy 1 monster on the field. And the monster to destroy is, of course, 'Eye Dragon Crimson Abyss'!"

"Then activate the effect of 'Crimson Lotus Demon - Abyss'."

Upon hearing Mashiro Kaiba's words, Yuki Izayoi calmly declared, "Once per turn, until the end of the turn, negate the effect of 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'."

Just as the "Blue-Eyed White Dragon" was about to open its mouth and spew out white light, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire from the "Crimson Lotus Demon" came knocking first.

The light and the karmic fire clashed, but in the end, the crimson lotus flame, which had gained the upper hand, prevailed and suppressed the attack.

"It's alright, this is just bait. Spell Card: 'Dragon's Wings' activated!"

【Dragon's Wings (Normal Spell): Select 1 Level 5 or higher Dragon monster you control and return it to its owner's hand. Destroy all Spell/Trap Cards on the field.】

From the very beginning, Mashiro Kaiba knew that the effects of "Sub-White Dragon" would be negated, after all, it was an open and aboveboard scheme.

Her real purpose was to activate this spell card later.

"Return 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to my hand, then destroy all your Spell/Trap Cards. That will wipe out all your face-down cards!"

As they spoke, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon spread its enormous wings, whipping up gusts of increasingly fierce wind. In the howling wind, Geka, who was standing at Izayoi Yuki's feet, began to lose his footing, in danger of being blown away at any moment.

Then one of the cards actually got hyped up.

Trap Card: "False Trap" activated.

[False Trap (Normal Trap): This effect can be activated when your opponent activates the effect of a Spell/Trap/Effect Monster that destroys a Trap Card on your field. This card is destroyed instead; your other Trap Cards are not destroyed. If a Set card is destroyed, reveal all of those cards.]

"The other two face-down cards I used were 'Demon Golem' and 'Synchronize Call,' both of which are Trap Cards. I'm using this card to replace their destruction."

"But your magic card still can't escape!"

As Mashiro Kaiba's voice faded, the gale transformed into countless invisible wind blades, slicing the cards "Crimson Hell Land" and "False Trap" into fragments.

Kaiba Mashiro was slightly disappointed that he couldn't completely neutralize Izayoi Yuki's back row in one go. However, it was good enough that he managed to deal with that troublesome "Crimson Hell Earth," and the contents of the remaining two face-down cards were now clear. Let's continue!

"Spell Card: 'Bargain Shopping', Send 1 Level 8 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to the Graveyard, Draw 2 cards from your Deck. Then activate the effect of 'Dragon Ruler - Dragon Dictator'. Send 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from your Deck to the Graveyard, Special Summon this card."

"Dragon Ruler - Dragon Dictator, Level 4/Dark/Mage" "ATK: 1200/DEF: 1100"

As Kaiba Mashiro moved, the "Dragon Dictator," who looked exactly like the "Dragon Ruler" except that he was holding a flute shaped like a blue-eyed white dragon, appeared and immediately began to play a long flute tune.

"Activate the effect of 'Dragon Dictator', discard 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon', and Special Summon 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from your Graveyard."

"It's now!"

However, at the same moment the flute music started, Izayoi Yuki also grabbed one of her own cards.

"The chain effect of 'Dragon's Dictator' and 'Druid Scale Worm of the Abyss' activates! Banish 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from your Graveyard, and Special Summon this card from your hand."

"What!? The 'Beast of the Abyss'!"

Chapter 258 Blue-Eyed Girl and Ultimate Fusion (4k5 combined)

"What?! It's actually a 'Beast of the Abyss'!"

Kaiba Mashiro looked astonished, clearly caught off guard by Izayoi Yuki's move.

"Ah oh."

Seeing this, Wendy and Saki from the Starstriker team exchanged a glance: "Now Mashiro/Miss Mashiro is in trouble."

"Beasts of the Abyss," like "Dragon's Lament of the Underworld," is also a product of genuine "friendship offerings." You should have realized this long ago when Yuki didn't use them in either of the two duels in Group A.

Indeed, compared to Yuki, Izayoi Yuki, who is in Group B, is more suitable to use this "surprise weapon".

The Dragon Soul of Light was forced to surge from Kaiba Mashiro's graveyard and merge into Izayoi Yuki's card. Then, a dimensional rift was torn open, and a demonic dragon born from the abyss descended upon this world, roaring ferociously.

"Druid Scale Worm, Abyssal Beast, Level 6/Dark/Dragon" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000"

"Because 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' was banished, the effect of 'Dragon Ruler - Dragon Dictator' was wasted."

"Tch. You actually kept something like this hidden away, how despicable! Do you even consider yourself a true duelist?"

What Wendy and Saki can understand, the "sharp-witted" Mashiro Kaiba can certainly understand as well.

Kaiba Mashiro, whose Blue-Eyes revival process was successfully interrupted, looked indignant and kept complaining that the "Abyss Beast" card was too effective against her deck.

"This has nothing to do with whether it's real or not. Rather, a qualified duelist should prepare countermeasure cards in advance based on information about their opponent."

Unlike Yuki, who obtained the Millennium Puzzle, even after being purified by the D Alliance, the "Abyssal Beast" was still not a power that Izayoi Yuki could fully control. However, as long as she didn't use an "Abyssal Beast" of level 8 or higher, there wouldn't be much of a problem. And she remained unmoved by Kaiba Mashiro's few words, which were not particularly offensive.

"More importantly, now that your 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' has failed to be resurrected, is there anything else you need to do?"

"Of course there are! Don't think that just because you've excluded my favored eye you're guaranteed victory!"

The bunny-eared girl, despite being hit by a card in her hand, wasn't discouraged; instead, it ignited an even stronger fighting spirit. She grabbed a card from her hand and placed it onto the duel disk—

"Attack signal summons 'Blue-Eyed Sage'!"

"Blue-eyed Sage, Level 1/Light/Adjustment" "ATK: 0/DEF: 1500"

As Kaiba Shiro made his move, the pure white light condensed into a human figure.

The man had silver-white hair, around which white currents danced.

When "The Sage with Blue Eyes" is successfully summoned, add 1 Level 1 LIGHT Tuner from your Deck to your hand, then activate the Field Spell: "Hall of Light!"

The surrounding environment drastically changed, transforming into a hall adorned with numerous colossal dragon statues. The clear sunlight shone down, making the entire hall appear incredibly sacred. And in the center of this hall, a stunningly beautiful young woman with a gentle demeanor slowly appeared.

"The effect of 'Hall of Light': While this card is on the field, except for one Normal Summon, I may Summon one more Level 1 LIGHT Tuner. Come forth, 'Blue-Eyed Girl'!"

"Blue-eyed girl, Level 1/Light/Mage/Adjuster" "ATK: 0/DEF: 0"

"The girl with blue eyes..."

Yuuki looked at the silver-haired girl who appeared in front of Kaiba Mashiro with a strange expression.

In the DM anime, Seto Kaiba's past life, Seth, loved Kisara, a girl who was the abode of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon." The "Blue-Eyes Girl" looked exactly like Kisara, essentially his reincarnation as a spirit. However, it's unclear what grudge the Konami artists held against Kisara, but the Kisara depicted in the cards didn't capture the fragility and beauty of the original; instead, she looked more like an old woman.

This monster must also be one of Lai Ren Ge's cards, right? That means...

Seemingly sensing Yukina's curious gaze, the "blue-eyed girl" was summoned.

As Yu Xi thought of this, she suddenly noticed that after the "blue-eyed girl" was summoned, she seemed to sense her gaze and looked in this direction.
