"If 'Ironclad Dragon' is successfully Special Summoned, destroy all other cards in the same column as this card. Destroy 'Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon' first, so 'Abyssal White Dragon's' effect can proceed smoothly!"

Covered in explosive tags set up by the "Ghost Rabbit," the circular wings unleashed a surging tide of destructive energy forward, tearing everything apart and wiping out the dragons on the Izayoi Snowfield.

— Destroyed by "Sky Tyrant Dragon Soaring".

— Destroyed "Yan Demon Dragon Crimson Lotus Demon Burial".

“I actually did it…”

Izayoi Yuki's expression betrayed her surprise and shock.

To be honest, she never expected that her battle would end with the annihilation of all the monsters.

Kaiba Mashiro laughed smugly and boasted, "Haha, see that, Izayoi! My 'Abyss Eye' is amazing, isn't it! This light is no less powerful than your 'Crimson Demon'!"

No, I think what's impressive is your luck with gacha pulls.

Izayoi Yuki thought with a hint of helplessness.

Kaiba Mashiro's ability to achieve this strategy owes much to the abundance of hand traps she has created. First came "Nibiru," then "Ernest," "Abyss Eye," "Ghost Rabbit," and finally "Iron Rider Dragon."

If any one of those cards were missing, Mashiro Kaiba would never have achieved what he has today.

However, having already used G to draw so many cards, it's understandable that I ended up with these unlucky draws.

It seems that luck is indeed not on her side this time.

"However, the duel won't end there. 'Soaring Dragon of the Sky' has a follow-up effect: when this card is destroyed by your opponent and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon one set of Synchro Materials used from the Graveyard, negating their effects. Come back, 'Vision Resonator' and 'Crimson Dragon'!"

The remaining particles of light on the battlefield gathered together and were ignited by the flames, causing the demon's adjustment and the dark red demon dragon to reappear from the flames.

This time, however, it appears in a defensive stance.

The Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon has returned to Mashiro Kaiba's grave, which Izayoi Yuki had previously confirmed contained the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Even though we are still in the battle phase, there's not much point in sending the Crimson Dragon over there.

For Izayoi Yuki, the most important task now is no longer to attack, but to survive the fierce counterattack that is bound to come in the next round.

"Set two cards face down in the back row, end the round."

"Let this be the final round of this duel! Draw a card!"

Kaiba Mashiro, who had pulled off a spectacular comeback during Izayoi Yuki's turn, was clearly in high spirits. Without even looking, she drew a card and put it into the Spell & Trap Gauge.

"Activate the Spell Card: 'Preparation for the Ritual,' add one corresponding Ritual Spell and Ritual Monster from your Deck to your hand, and activate the Ritual Spell: 'Descent of the White Dragon'! Tribute the Level 4 'Iron Knight Dragon: Genesis' from the field to Ritual Summon 'Paladin of the White Dragon'!!"

"White Dragon Paladin, Rank 4/Light/Dragon/Ritual" "ATK: 1900/DEF: 1200"

The figure of "Iron Dragon" disappeared, and a knight riding a silver dragon appeared on the field in its place.

This is a ritual monster exclusively for the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon," and it only has one effect.

"Tribute 'The Paladin of the White Dragon' to Special Summon 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from your Deck!"

The knight raised his sword high, and a white beam of light descended from the sky, engulfing it.

Having absorbed the vast amount of light element, the blue-eyed dragon roared and descended once more.

"Roar--!"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK: 3000"

"The Blue-Eyes White Dragon Special Summoned using this effect cannot declare an attack."

It was expected that Mashiro Kaiba would summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon again, but this alone was not enough to threaten Yuki Izayoi.

"There's no need to attack; the Blue-Eyes White Dragon has other offensive methods."

After summoning "Blue-Eyes," Kaiba Mashiro still had 8 cards in her hand. She retrieved a card from the graveyard, replenishing her hand to 9: "Activate Field Spell: 'Fusion Regeneration Agency,' replacing 'Soul of Light.' Then banish 'Soul of Light,' which was sent to the graveyard, and use its last effect to add 'Explosive Gale of Destruction' from the deck to my hand."

A card named after the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon's" attack was searched and added to Kaiba Mashiro's hand. This card possesses power similar to the Dark Magician's "Dark Magician," except that the latter destroys Spell & Trap cards, while this one—

"Activate the Spell Card: 'Explosive Gale of Destruction'! If 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' is on the field, destroy all monster cards on your opponent's field!"

Blue and white light bullets rained down, covering the entire field.

In the raging storm, both the "Crimson Dragon" and the "Vision Resonator" were completely destroyed.

"If a card on the field is destroyed, 'Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon' is revived."

Beside the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, a mechanized Blue-Eyes White Dragon roared in. Although the Blue-Eyes White Dragon could not attack, the Jet Dragon did not have this restriction, and the two monsters were both Level 8 monsters of the same rank, so they could easily stack high-rank Xyz Monsters.

Izayoi Yuki had no doubt that, given the wealth of the Kaiba family, she wouldn't even have a single useful Tier 8 Xyz card.

That also determined what to do.

"If 'Vision Resonator' is sent to the Graveyard, search for Spell & Trap cards related to 'Crimson Dragon.' Then, if you successfully Special Summon a monster on your field, activate the effect of the Continuous Spell Card 'Rebrand'."

Izayoi Yukimichi: "I may Special Summon 1 'Beast of the Abyss' monster from my Graveyard. Revive 'Beast of the Abyss Druid Scale Worm,' followed by a Continuous Trap: 'Cry of the Living Dead.' Based on this card's effect, Special Summon 'Crimson Demon Dragon: Abyss' in Attack Position."

The card was lifted, and a demonic dragon equipped with axe blades on its arms returned from hell, dark red flames burning quietly on its body, waiting for the moment to suddenly attack.

"Trying to suppress me with 'Crimson Lotus Demon: Abyss'? Hmph, don't underestimate me, Izayoi. This thing isn't even a stumbling block."

Disregarding Izayoi Yuki's recalled ace, Kaiba Mashiro slapped a card onto his Duel Disk.

"I haven't performed a normal summon this turn yet. I summon 'Half-Dragon Maid - Dormitory Dragon Girl' in Attack Position!"

"A half-dragon maid?"

Seeing the Dragon Maid appear in front of Kaiba Mashiro, Izayoi Yuki suddenly realized that so far in the duel, Kaiba Mashiro had only used the power of "Blue Eyes". And the other pillar of her deck, "Half-Dragon Maid", had not yet truly appeared.

Judging from this situation...

"If 'Dormitory Dragon Girl' is successfully Summoned or Special Summoned, you can add 1 'Half-Dragon Maid' Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

"This will trigger the effects of 'Crimson Lotus Demon: Abyss'!"

Izayoi Yuki interrupted abruptly, knowing that if Kaiba Mashiro successfully summoned the "Radiant Dragon Girl" of the Tricolor Yasushi, it wouldn't be a good thing for her.

We must stop them here no matter what.

"Once per turn, negate the effect of 'Dormitory Dragon Girl' until the end of the turn."

A dark red flame shot out, transforming into a giant claw in mid-air and seizing the dragon maid in the bedroom. The latter let out a painful groan, forced to stop her maid duties for the day.

"This way, it's impossible to negate the effects of other cards."

Dormitory Dragon Girl's defeat was inevitable, and Kaiba Mashiro immediately began her next move: "Activate the effect of 'Ancient White Stone' in the graveyard, banish this card from the game, and return 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the graveyard to your hand."

"When a Light or Dark monster is banished, the ① effect of 'Rebrand' is triggered."

Forced to surrender "Crimson Demon: Abyss," Izayoi Yukimichi said, "Return 'Ancient White Stone' to the deck, and I'll draw one card from my deck."

"Because only one turn has passed, the effect of 'Death Deck Virus' is still active!" The bunny-eared loli gave Izayoi Yuki no chance to exploit the situation, pressing forward relentlessly. "If you draw a monster with 1500 or more ATK, that card will be destroyed."

"The item I drew is the 'Work Train Red Signal,' which has an attack power of 1000 and cannot be destroyed by viruses."

"Ugh, another failure."

Izayoi Yuki showed off the cards she had drawn. So far, "Death Deck Virus" had only worked once, and after that it was completely useless.

Even though Mashiro was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel frustrated after repeatedly encountering these situations.

"However, 'Work Train'? I remember that card's effect summons it to block attacks, so it can't stop me."

Kaiba Mashiro regained her confidence and said, "The duel continues! Activate the Spell Card: 'Rescue Light,' pay 800 Life Points, and return 1 banished LIGHT monster to your hand. I choose 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon,' followed by the Continuous Spell: 'Cluster Power'!"

【Seahorse True White LP: 1000→200】

With her base score dropping to the most dangerous critical point, a bright green card appeared in front of the bunny-eared loli.

In Katu, Yu Xi's beloved "Chaos Warrior" is riding on the back of a three-headed blue-eyed dragon, its blade glowing.

Upon seeing the familiar card, both Yuki and Izayoi Yuki were taken aback: "This card is..."

"As long as 'Cluster Power' is on the field, if a Ritual Fusion Summon using 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' or 'Dark Magician' as materials is successful, once per turn, you can banish 1 card from your opponent's field or Graveyard. Activate the effect of 'Fusion Regeneration Mechanism': once per turn, discard 1 card from your hand and add 1 'Fusion' card from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. Then activate the Spell Card: 'Fusion'!"

Mashiro Kaiba raises the card high, unleashing the power of spiral fusion combined with her Feel power.

"Fuse the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' on the field with the two 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons' in your hand! Fusion Summon, be born, the strongest and most magnificent ultimate dragon in history, 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon'!!"

"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Level 12/Light/Dragon/Fusion" "ATK: 4500/DEF: 3800"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon x3"

The original three white dragons collided in mid-air. In the extremely dazzling white light, a huge dragon beast with three dragon heads, just like the "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", but cleaner and more handsome, spread its wings.

The fierce winds swept in all directions, deeply imprinting his invincible figure in everyone's eyes, never to be forgotten.

"It has appeared! The ancestor of the Kaiba family, the first Duel King after the establishment of the D. League, the strongest trump card of the Kaiba clan! 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon'!"

The appearance of "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" easily ignited everyone's emotions.

Although everyone was excited from the start of the duel, the excitement at this moment was undoubtedly even greater. There are always some cards in this world that cannot be replaced, no matter how many more powerful cards are printed later; that's what we call nostalgia.

Yu Xi's world has its own sentiments, and this world... is no exception.

And if we're talking about who's the most excited, without a doubt, it's the bunny-eared loli who's personally controlling this ultimate dragon.

"Strong! Invincible! Strongest! With this strongest dragon, Izayoi, shatter your last struggle!"

Her little face flushed slightly and she was panting from excessive excitement. Kaiba Mashiro waved her little hand, guiding the magic card to unleash a beam of light that shattered the last obstacle.

"Since the Fusion Summon was successful, the effect of 'Cluster Power' is activated! Banish your remaining face-down card!"

"Chain-activated trap card: 'Forced Escape Device'!"

Just as the light was about to shatter the card, Izayoi Yuki flipped up her face down, revealing a technological device materializing beneath "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon".

"Based on this card's effect, select 1 monster on the field and return it to your hand. 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' is a Fusion Monster, so it is returned directly to the Extra Deck."

Izayoi Yuki's trap is undeniably insidious. "Crimson Demon Abyss" is merely a bait to attract firepower; this card is the real killer move.

"Sorry, Mashiro, although I don't know what you plan to do with the 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon,' the monster I painstakingly fused together needs to be sent back now."

"Hmph, just as I expected!"

But Mashiro, who had fallen into the trap, chuckled smugly.

The rabbit-ear scarf swayed lightly on her head, making it seem as if it were Izayoi Yuki, not the one caught in the trap.

"I knew I might encounter something like this; this card was prepared for this moment. Quick-Play Spell: Fusion Dispel, activated!"

Beside the loli, a bright green card appeared, and the power released from it enveloped the "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" that was locked in the trap, forcibly separating it.
