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

"Tragodia's attack and defense are calculated as 600 times the number of cards in your hand, therefore its current defense is 2400."

"That's still no match for 'Magnificent Rose.' 'Magnificent Rose' attacks 'Tragodia,' a rose whip!"

"Gorgeous Rose" swung its arms, and the thorny vines surrounding it suddenly began to dance rapidly, lashing "Tragodia" like whips and turning it into a pile of fragments.

— "Tragodia" destroyed.

Originally, when a Plant-type monster destroys an opponent's monster, the second effect of "Fairy Ring" would be triggered, dealing LP damage to the opponent based on the destroyed monster's ATK. However, "Tragodia's" original ATK is 0, so this effect cannot be triggered. As the first vine destroyed the Lobster Demon, another vine attacked from the side, violently lashing out at Midgrafa's arm.

"My attack isn't over yet! Now, activate the effect of 'Gorgeous Rose'! During the Battle Phase after this attack, banish 1 Plant-Type monster from your Graveyard, halve this card's ATK, and you can attack again this turn!"

"Gorgeous Rose, ATK: 3700→1850"

[Grafa LP: 3400 → 1550]

In the second round, Grafa's base score was reduced to 2000 points by Izayoi Yuki, but this remarkable result did not make the girl very happy or satisfied.

She had originally planned to kill her opponent in one fell swoop, but her opponent's unexpected trap prevented her from doing so.

Despite being subjected to continuous and fierce attacks, and despite the fact that the impact of the Dark Duel would be materialized, Grafa did not utter a single cry of pain.

He even had the mood to laugh and say, "Unfortunately, you were still just a little short. Little girl, this was your only chance to defeat me in this duel, but you failed to seize it."

"Save those pointless boasts for after you beat me."

Izayoi Yuki put one of her cards into the Duel Disk and announced the turn: "I set one card face down. End of turn."

"Of course I'll win. Because a weak monster like you can't possibly fight me. Let me tell you that now, little girl. What exactly is this so-called power? My turn, draw a card."

Grafana casually drew cards from her deck, and the number of cards in her hand that had been reduced due to Special Summoning "Tragodia" was restored to 5.

He showed one of the cards.

"Activate the effect of 'Gatekeeper of the Dark Realms': Discard this card, add the Field Spell Card 'Gate to the Dark Realms' from your Deck to your hand, and activate it."

The ground shook violently, and with a deafening roar, a massive door rose up behind Grafa.

The door had not yet been opened, but Izayoi Yuki could already sense the terrifying darkness hidden within it.

"As long as 'Dark Gate' is on the field, Fiend-Type monsters gain 300 ATK and DEF. Then, the effect of 'Dark Gate' activates."

Once per turn, you can banish 1 Fiend-Type monster from your Graveyard, then discard 1 Fiend-Type monster from your hand. After that, draw 1 card from your Deck.

It may seem like a mediocre one-for-one exchange and draw effect, but when combined with Grafa's deck, it becomes a completely different story.

"Exclude 'Gatekeeper of the Dark Realm' from your Graveyard, send 'Dragon God Grafa of the Dark Realm' to the Graveyard, and draw 1 card. At this moment, the effects of 'Gatekeeper' and 'Dragon God Grafa' activate."

Just as Grafa placed the card in his graveyard, a terrifying dark power erupted from it, transforming into the form of a demonic dragon shadow that lunged towards Izayoi Yuki's position.

"If 'Dragon God' is discarded to the Graveyard by a card effect, you can destroy 1 card on your opponent's field. Destroy that face-down card!"

"Chain activation of the trap card: 'Return to the Front'!"

As the demonic dragon shadow attacked, the white-haired girl waved her hand in advance and flipped open the cover.

Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position.

The light of resurrection emanated from the trap card, fell to the ground, and transformed into the shape of "Dandelion Lion." In the end, Grafa's "Dragon God" was rendered useless.

But Grafa didn't care about that.

"So this is what a face-down card is. But adding more tanks is pointless, little girl. Next, let's deal with the effect of 'Gatekeeper'. If it's banished, and I have a 'Dark Realm' card on my field, this card can be Special Summoned to my field."

"Makoto, the gatekeeper of the Dark Realm, Level 4/Dark/Demon" "ATK: 1000/DEF: 1800"

The gate behind Grafa slowly opened, and amidst the rising mist, a grey demon holding a shield wall leaped out. But just a second later, a fleeting demonic dragon shadow took its place.

"Then return 'Gatekeeper of the Dark Realm' to your hand, and Special Summon 'Dragon God Grafa of the Dark Realm' from your Graveyard in Attack Position."

「暗黑界的龙神 格拉法，等级8/暗/恶魔」「ATK：2700→3000/DEF：1800→2100」

"You summoned a high-level monster with an attack power of 3000 with almost no effort or resources?"

Looking at the demonic dragon that shared the same name as Grafa 1 and whose breath emitted thick white vapor, Izayoi Yuki frowned slightly.

Although its stats aren't particularly outstanding in any aspect, its card-bombing ability and almost unconditional revival ability are quite troublesome. We need to find a way to deal with this monster.

"I guess you're thinking about how to deal with my 'Dragon God,' aren't you, little girl? But let me tell you, you don't need to bother, because you're about to die here."

Grafa slowly pinched the leftmost card in his hand with his fingers and put it into the slot of his Duel Disk.

"Everything in the world, even the world itself, will perish. Use this card to herald your doomsday—activate the Quick-Play Spell: 'Ascension to the Dark Realm'!"

【Ascension to the Dark Realm (Quick-Play Spell): Can only be activated during both players' Main Phases. Banish the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Fiend-Type Fusion Monster Card from your field or Graveyard, then Fusion Summon 1 of those Fusion Monsters from your Extra Deck. If a "Dark Realm" monster is Fusion Summoned, you can also discard monsters from your hand as Fusion Material.】

"I will fuse the 'Dark Realm Demon God Raine,' 'Dark Realm Mentor Serulli,' and 'Dark Realm Sorcerer Snow' from my graveyard with the four 'Dark Realm' monsters I possess."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Izayoi Yuki's expression changed slightly: "They actually used seven monsters as fusion materials!?"

"It's too late for regrets now, little girl. Your soul will become its sacrifice—Lord of the Abyss, open your eyes from the deepest darkness and show the world the path to destruction! Fusion Summon!"

"—Be born! [Chaos King of the Dark Realm - Karales]!!"

Grafa opened his arms, and boundless dark power surged and concentrated into the gates of the "Dark Realm Gate," where the demon king, who had been sleeping since ancient times, opened his eyes.

An immense pressure and aura instantly dominated the battlefield!

Chapter 111 Yuki Arrives at the Battlefield

"Kaleras, the Chaos King of the Dark Realm, Level 12/Dark/Demon/Fusion" "AT佞K: ?/DEF: ?"

"【Dark Realm Demon God Raine】+ 2 or more Demon-type monsters"

As Grafa activated the Fusion Magic Card, the seven dark demon souls merged into one in the "Dark Gate," and an unprecedentedly terrifying demon king was awakened, descending upon the battlefield with a deafening roar.

"How is this possible? It was a fusion summon using seven monsters...!"

That was a monster that Izayoi Yuki had never seen before.

She felt a terrifying aura emanating from him, a sense of oppressive power that sent shivers down her spine—a feeling she had only experienced once before, five years ago.

"This is the power possessed by a high-ranking member of [Doomsday Bell], without even the need for a god's intervention, little girl. You will meet your death under the terrifying power of the 'Chaos King,' the effect of 'Chaos King Calelas of the Dark Realm' activated!"

Against the backdrop of "Chaos King," Grafana's voice, hidden beneath the mask, became even deeper and more terrifying, its hidden malice spilling out with the monster's every move.

"If Fusion Summoned, destroy all cards on your opponent's field. [Darkest Redemption]!"

"What!?"

Endless darkness concentrated in the palm of the "Chaos King," forming a small black hole. The immense suction force emanating from the black hole captured all the monsters on the Izayoi Snowfield and sucked them into the black hole.

In the blink of an eye, Izayoi Yuki had no cards left, leaving the front and back of the field completely empty.

"Chaos King Kalles' original attack and defense are calculated as 1000 times the number of fusion materials, so it's currently 7000. With the effect of 'Dark Gate,' it rises to 7300. Combined with 'Dark Dragon God Grafa,' the total attack on the field is 10300. That concludes the explanation."

"Not always!"

Izayoi Yuki did not give up. Even if her field was cleared, it did not mean that she could not keep any monsters on her field.

"Because it was destroyed and sent to the graveyard, the effect of 'Dandelion Lion' activates! Special Summon 2 Wool Tokens to my field in Defense Position."

This provides a shield to block attacks.

"it's useless."

Grafa sneered and said, "Naive, little girl. Do you think I didn't consider your 'Dandelion Lion'?"

“When using monsters from my hand as Fusion Material, ‘Dark Realm Ascension’ discards them. Therefore, when ‘Chaos King’s’ effect is activated, the effects of my other ‘Dark Realm’ monsters are also activated at the same time.”

"Apart from 'The Gatekeeper of the Dark World,' these monsters can be Special Summoned to my field if they are discarded by card effects. Appear, my servants!"

「暗黑界的军神 希尔瓦，等级5/暗/恶魔」「ATK：2300→2600/DEF：1400→1700」

「暗黑界的武神 高尔德，等级5/暗/恶魔」「ATK：2300→2600/DEF：1400→1700」

「暗黑界的尖兵 贝基，等级4/暗/恶魔」「ATK：1600→1900/DEF：1300→1600」

Three dark forces flew out from the "Dark Realm Gate" and transformed into three demons on the Grafa field, completely filling the space in front of Grafa.

Faced with this demonic army composed of 5 monsters, the mere 2 cotton wool derivatives are no match.

Is this the end?

Izayoi Yukino gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do about it.

In the previous rounds, she had exhausted all her power in order to kill in one turn, and had not been able to keep any trump cards for later.

Damn it, she's still too weak...

"Now I'll send you on your way, little girl. Now sink into eternal slumber."

Grapha, having swept away the cotton wool derivatives with just two random "Dark Realm" monsters, raised his hand, and a massive Feel roared from his Fusion Ace.

"A direct attack from the 'Dragon God of the Dark Realm' and 'Chaos King Kalles,' [Apocalypse of the Apocalypse]!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

[Izayoi Yuki LP: 8000→0]

A violent surge of energy erupted, violently hurling the girl away. Her previously maxed-out basic points were instantly wiped out.

The duel ended in victory in just the third round.

The strength of the [Doomsday Bell] executives is evident, completely incomparable to the dark duelists that Izayoi Yuki has fought before.

Grafa looked at the girl who had fallen to the ground and commented, "Although she's known as the ace of the Public Security Bureau, she's still far inferior to Logan Hawke, nicknamed 'Storm Raven.' She dares to cause trouble for me with this little bit of skill? She's truly ignorant of her own limitations."
