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

"It's not time for you to relax yet, Satomi Sho. My battle phase isn't over yet—activating a quick-attack spell: 'Magic Hat'!"

"If I have a Spellcaster monster on my field, up to 4 in total, select up to 3 Spell/Trap monsters from my Deck and shuffle them face-down with any Normal Monster that has 0 ATK and DEF, along with any monsters I control."

As Yuki placed the chosen card face down on the duel disk, four black top hats with question mark patterns descended from the sky, covering "Dark Magician Girl." After a dazzling series of elusive steps, they lined up again, and no one could tell which hat was hiding "Dark Magician Girl."

Unlike the OCG version of the Trap Card, it is far superior in terms of convenience, except that it requires a Spellcaster monster to activate.

It can even be used in conjunction with card attacks.

"Then I activate the Quick-Play Spell: 'Dark Magic's Ritual.' Fusion Summon 'Dark Magician Girl' and 'Chocolate Magician Girl' from my hand! Appear, 'Super Magician - Dark Magician Master and Apprentice!'"

"Super Archmage - Dark Magician Apprentice, Level 8/Dark/Mage/Fusion" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 2300"

Spiral magic erupted, this time performed by the "Dark Magician's" only disciple in a magical ritual. Guided by the power of the ritual, the "Dark Magician's" figure appeared, standing alongside the "Dark Magician Girl."

Meanwhile, having lost all the targets they needed to hide from, the remaining three top hats used to confuse the situation self-destructed.

A new magic surged forth from it.

"When all monsters affected by the effect of 'Magic Hat' leave the field, destroy the Spell/Trap Card used to set those monsters. At that moment, the Trap Card sent to the Graveyard, 'Magician's Protection,' activates its effect! Revive the Spellcaster-Type monster 'Coincidence Magical Girl' in the Graveyard!"

"Chocolate Magical Girl, Level 4/Water/Mage" "ATK: 1600/DEF: 1000"

A magical girl wearing a conical magic hat, with hearts adorning her forehead and chest, floated down to the ground and stood beside Yuki.

"Hey, you wouldn't be thinking of...!"

Upon seeing the new monster appear on Yuki's field, Satomi Sho's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a step back.

"When a Spell/Trap Card's effect is activated, the effect of 'Dark Magician and His Apprentice' allows me to draw 1 card from my Deck. If that card is a Quick-Play Spell/Trap Card, I can Set it on the field."

Yuki glanced at the card she had drawn, but didn't put it into the Duel Disk. She continued, "Since these two monsters were Special Summoned during the Battle Phase, they can continue to attack. 'Chocolate Magic Girl' attacks directly! Chocolate Magic!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

[Sho Satomi's LP: 7000→5400]

Aside from the strength of the Feel and the monster, the damage dealt to duelists in Dark Duel seems to be determined to some extent by the numerical value of the damage, especially since this is a direct attack.

The "Chocolate Magic Girl's" relentless attack inflicted even greater pain on Satomi Sho, and a second scream erupted from his mouth.

"Next comes the attack from the 'Grand Magus - Black Magician and Apprentice': Black Magic Double Shot!"

"Damn it! Don't think you can do whatever you want, you bastard!"

Press the attack while the momentum is on!

After "Chocolate Magic Girl" finished off the attack, Yuki planned to have "Dark Magician Master and Apprentice" further reduce the opponent's health. But at this moment, perhaps having been mentally prepared and having developed some resistance, Satomi Sho seemed to have recovered from the previous round of attacks in time.

"Activate the Trap Card: 'Defense Barrier'!"

"Reset the damage from this battle to 0, and draw 1 card from your deck!"

The void transformed into a shield, blocking the black magic cannon fire that was attacking Inami Sho, and temporarily preventing him from being beaten a third time in a short period of time.

You Xi didn't feel regretful; the results he had achieved so far were enough to satisfy him.

"Main Phase 2, the effect of 'Chocolate Magical Girl' activates. Discard 1 Spellcaster monster, draw 1 card from your Deck. Set 1 card, and my turn ends."

With a last shred of goodwill, Yuki advised, "Stop, Satomi Sho. It's not too late to back down now; you're no match for me."

Unfortunately, his opponent had no interest in accepting his goodwill.

"Stop? What a joke! Don't be naive, Izumi Yuuki. Do you think dark duels are child's play? This death match won't stop until a winner is decided. Besides, who said I'm no match for you? I'm stronger than you now! My turn!!"

With a ferocious expression, as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him to pieces, Satomi Sho drew his card for this turn.

Then he slammed it onto his dueling disk.

"Summon 'Machine Soldier' ​​in Attack Position! If you successfully summon it while there are no other monsters on your field, Special Summon 1 'Machine' monster from your hand. Then chain to activate the Trap Card: 'Machine Force Supercritical'!!"

"Destroy 1 Machine-Type monster you control, and Special Summon a different 'Machine' monster from your Deck. Come forth, 'Machine Demonized Warehouse Soldier'!!"

"Mech-Enchanted Warehouse Soldier, Level 4/Dark/Mechanical" "ATK: 1600/DEF: 1500"

The original "Mech Soldier" was immediately enveloped and corrupted by dark energy the moment it appeared. In its demonized state, it was just as ferocious and dangerous as the previous "Mech Unclassified Reserve Soldier".

After the corrupted version of the "mecha soldier" appeared, the three "mecha" monsters gathered behind Satomi Sho almost simultaneously!

Chapter 77 Dump Trucks!

The three-body "mecha" monsters descended on Satomi Sho almost simultaneously, though there was a slight order to their arrival.

"Based on the effect of 'Mech Soldier,' Special Summon 'Mech Metal Claw Soldier' ​​from your hand!"

"Mech Metal Claw Soldier, Level 9/Ground/Mechanical" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 0"

The first entity to appear was a large robot with a yellow shell, which could be seen to be a higher-level individual of the "Mecha Mechanical Frame".

"C1, The effect of "Supply Force" is always active. Draw 1 card from your deck.

Next, at C2, if "Mech Metal Claw Soldier" is successfully Summoned or Special Summoned, I can reveal 3 Machine-Type EARTH monsters from my Deck to my opponent, who can then randomly add 1 of them to my hand. At C3, "Mech Demon Warehouse Soldier" also has a field effect that can be activated, and I can Special Summon 1 "Mech" monster from my Graveyard.

Finally, C4! Resurrect once more, "Mech Colonel"!!

With the combination of "Mech Soldiers" and "Supercritical Mech Forces", the instantaneous chain reaction was stacked to a very high value.

In addition to the "Mech Metal Claw Soldier", the "Mech Colonel" and the "Mech Unclassified Reserve Soldier" emerged from the ground, making the pressure of Satomi Sho's mech army rise layer by layer.

"You summoned four 'Mech' monsters at once... because you activated the effect of a Spell/Trap Card, 'Super Magician: Dark Magician's Apprentice'. I draw one card and set it face-down."

Yu Xi's expression was solemn. Putting everything else aside, the very existence of these monsters was indeed quite stressful.

Moreover, he also had a vague idea.

Since Satomi Sho's subordinates used to summon "Mech Forces/Armed Forces" have all turned into corrupted versions, then perhaps...

"The second effect of 'Mech Demonized Warehouse Soldier' ​​is activated!"

Satomi Sho was completely unconcerned about Yuki's actions. After dealing with the search effect of "Mech Metal Claw Soldier," he declared again, "Once per turn, choose any 'Mech' monster other than this card and return 1 Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls to their hand. I choose 'Mech Unclassified Reserve Soldier' ​​and your face-down card from last turn!"

"Then activate this face-down card, Quick-Play Spell: Dark Magician Enhancement!"

Youxi lightly tapped the button and lifted the cover before the mech legion cleared the mines.

"Based on the number of 'Dark Magician' and 'Dark Magician Girl' in either player's Graveyard, if you have 1 or more of these cards, 1 DARK Spellcaster monster you control gains 1000 ATK until the end of this turn."

"That's only 1000 points!"

Kno dismissed it with disdain, not taking the "Black Magician and His Apprentice" with their attack power increased to 3800 seriously, nor did he intend to use the "Mech Colonel" effect to eliminate the powerful enemy in advance.

He simply continued with the actions he had initially taken.

"Even if you activate the card, the effect of 'Mech Demon Warehouse Soldier' ​​will still apply, bouncing 'Mech Unclassified Reserve Soldier' ​​back to my hand. If added to my hand, the effect of 'Mech Unclassified Reserve Soldier' ​​activates, Special Summoning 'Mech Forces: Destruction Force' from my hand to the Graveyard!"

Sure enough, there was this card...

Currently, in the "Mech" series, it is considered one of the strongest acees, alongside "Mech Colonel".

"Manifest! Roaring Circuit! Summoning conditions: 2 monsters of the same attribute or race. Set the link marker with 'Unclassified Mech Soldier' ​​and 'Enchanted Mech Warehouse Soldier'. Circuit Link Summon: L-ink2, 'Alliance Transport Vehicle'!!"

"Alliance Transport Vehicle, L-ink2/Optical/Mechanical/Connection" "↓→, ATK: 1000"

A sharp siren rang out from the Gate of Connection, and a large truck loaded with a yellow hangar slowly drove out of the gate. It was the L-ink2, a forbidden card from the OCG and quite precious in this world.

"Send the Level 8 'Machine Cannon' from your hand to the Graveyard to revive 'Machine Fortress,' then banish Machine-Type monsters from your Graveyard with a combined Level of 12 or higher. Unleash a devastating attack! Bring endless destruction to this land—'Machine Force: Destruction Force'!!"

"Mech Force - Destruction Armed Forces, Level 10/Dark/Mechanical" "ATK: 4600/DEF: 4100"

A burst of black energy erupted, forming a massive tornado.

Amidst the tornado, a colossal mechanical form, unlike any of the previous "mechs," slowly emerged.

Its dark shell, wreathed in jet-black demonic flames, and covered in terrifying weapons for slaughter—it had the same dual-dimensional panels as the "Mech Force - Armed Force" that Yu Xi had seen once before, but it was clearly far superior to the big, dumb guy with just a head.

"Hahaha! Feel the terror this power brings, then despair! Izumi Yuuki! I activate the effect of 'Alliance Transport Truck': Once per turn, equip 1 monster of the same Attribute or Type from your Deck to 1 monster you control; the equipped monster gains 1000 ATK. I choose 'Destruction Force,' equipping it with 'Gasoline Man'!"

"Mech Force - Destroy Armed Forces, ATK: 4600→5600"

The hangar opened, and the robots that flew out became parts of the "Destruction Force," further enhancing its already high attack power. Moreover, "Gasoline Man" could break through when the equipped monster was destroyed, essentially gaining a destruction resistance.

So, everything was ready.

"Die, Izumi Yuuki! This attack will send you to your maker! [Mech Force - Destruction Armed Force] Attack, Massacre Annihilation Cannon!!"

Satomi Sho roared loudly, aiming his strongest trump card at "Chocolate Magic Girl".

The energy that could destroy everything roared within the cannon barrel, about to burst forth.

"Well come."

Upon hearing Satomi Sho's impromptu attack command, Yuuki's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She waved her hand and said, "The 'Dark Magician's Apprentice' trap card can be activated this turn. The moment you launch your attack, I will reveal the face-down card!"

"Trap Card activated—'Sand Shield - Dust Power-'!!"

"All attack position monsters on the opponent's field are changed to face-down defense position and cannot change their position themselves."

One of the trap cards in a series similar to "Divine Shield - Mirror Force -", it is a loot obtained after multiple duels using Divine Shield. Although it cannot destroy or remove any monster, sometimes destruction is not the best solution.

"Mech Colonel", "Mech Fortress" and "Mech Force: Destruction Force" can all regenerate themselves continuously, so simple destruction is not very meaningful.

In that case, as long as they are covered, not only will Satomi Sho be unable to use them to launch an attack, but the monsters left on the field will also have their deployment restricted.

"You got Fooled!"

However, Satomi Sho showed no panic at having stepped into a trap; instead, he grinned maliciously and said, "At this moment, the effect of 'Mech Force - Destruction Armed Forces' activates!"
