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

As Yuki declared, the indigo-colored Kuriboh let out a squeal and collided with the other four Kuribohs. From the rising smoke, a giant Kuriboh with a single horn on its forehead appeared on the field, replacing the five Kuribohs.

This is another combined form of the Kuriboh brothers that Atum did not use in his last duel.

But just a second after it appeared, it was immediately broken down by Yuki back into the original five Kuriboh brothers.

"Babylonian Kuriboh gains 300 ATK for each Kuriboh monster on my field or in my Graveyard, thus increasing its ATK to 3000. I then activate its second effect to return this card to my hand during my Main Phase and Battle Phase, Special Summoning Kuriboh Brothers from my Graveyard."

Yu Xi waved his arm, and a square door with eight arrows opened in the sky.

"Reveal, circuit that guides miracles! The summoning condition is 2 monsters, including those of the DARK attribute. Set a Link Marker with Kuriboh and Kuriboh, then Link Summon: L-ink2, 'Dark Spirit Master of Shadows'!"

"Dark, the Shadow Spirit Master, Dark Mage/Link" "L-in2/ATK: 1850"

"↙↘, 2 monsters, including a DARK attribute monster."

The Kuribohs, whose names were called by Yuki, transformed into dark tornadoes and soared into the sky, illuminating the corresponding arrows. In the shimmering light, the black-haired mage, who had gained the power of connection, descended from the door.

Immediately afterwards, two more Link Summoning Gates opened, and new Link Monsters emerged from them.

"Use a 1-star 'Kuriboku Bead' circuit to summon 'Link Kuriboh,' then finally set arrows with 'Kuriboku Maru' and 'Kuriboku Bun' of the same race and attribute to link and summon! L-ink2, 'Alliance Transport Vehicle'!"

"Connect the chestnut ball, ↓, L-ink1/ATK: 300"

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

The cards summoned by Yuuki later can be considered familiar faces in a sense. The former was used by the Black Witch in their duel, while the latter was a card from Satomi Sho's deck.

These past few days, Izayoi Yuki has been processing the rewards for Yuki related to the Satomi Sho incident. At the time, he didn't choose the "Mecha Colonel" from the list, but rather this "Alliance Transport Vehicle".

It seems that "Colonel Mech" is much stronger than "Alliance Transporter," but for Yuki, the value of "Alliance Transporter" is far greater than that of "Colonel Mech," which is limited to the Ground Mech deck.

Such as now.

[This dark duelist named Grafa uses the "Dark World" deck, so...]

"I activate the field spell: the effect of Chaos Field!"

"Once per turn, remove 3 Spell Counters from this card and add 1 Ritual Spell from your Deck to your hand. Because the Kuriboh brothers have been frequently sent to the Graveyard, 'Chaos Field' already has 6 counters. Remove 3 of them and search for 'Chaos Form'."

"Then activate the Spell Card: Chaos Mode!"

【Chaos Form (Ritual Spell): Required for the summoning of a "Chaos" Ritual Monster. ①: Until the total Levels become the same as the Ritual Summoned monster, Tribute monsters from your hand or field, or banish "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" or "Dark Magician" from your Graveyard as an alternative to Tribute, and Ritual Summon 1 "Chaos" Ritual Monster from your hand.】

It is obvious that this is a ritual magic exclusive to the "Chaos" series, and the effect description even includes the name "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

If it weren't for the fact that he is currently insignificant and his words carry little weight, thus failing to attract the attention of higher-ups and potentially even backfiring, You Xi would have honestly considered whether he could use this opportunity to directly approach the top executive of Shanghai Ma Company.

Of course, that matter has nothing to do with the present for the time being.

The important thing is that this card can complete the last piece of the puzzle in my current formation.

"I release my 7-star 'Dark Knight Gaia' from my hand, Ritual Summon! Descend here, 'Magician of Chaos'!!"

"Chaos Magician, Level 7/Dark/Mage/Ritual" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100"

"[Chaos Form] Descends"

"This card's name is treated as [Dark Magician] as long as it exists on the field or in the Graveyard."

The gates of chaos opened, and bathed in the energy of chaos, the "Black Magician," transformed into a completely new form, gracefully landed. A power far greater than his usual self surged within him.

"Then activate the 'Alliance Transport Vehicle' effect!"

“1回合1次，以自己场上的1只怪兽为对象，从卡组把与之同属性或同种族的1只怪兽当作上升1000攻击力的装备卡给它装备。我将「破坏剑-魔法破坏之剑」装备给「混沌之魔术师」。”

"The Magician of Chaos, ATK: 2500→3500"

The hangar of the "Alliance Transport Vehicle" opened, and a flash of sword light flew out. The little dragon raised by the "Swordsman of Destruction" delivered a dragon-slaying blade to the "Magician of Chaos," adding to its ferocious aura.

At this point, Yu Xi's hand was almost empty, with only two cards remaining, including the "Babylonian Chestnut" that she had just returned to her hand.

He inserted the other card besides "Babylonian Chestnut" into his back row slot.

"I set one spell or trap to the board, and my turn ends."

"So this is your first turn?"

Grafa, who had been silent since Yuxi activated "Flashing Five Stars", spoke up at this moment.

His gaze, hidden beneath his mask, swept over the four monsters on Yuki's field, and he commented with disappointment, "Just as I thought, your strength is only at that little girl's level. Weak, weak, really too weak. It seems this duel can be ended in an instant as well."

"My turn, draw a card."

Grafa drew his card, glanced at it casually, and then played one of the cards from his original hand.

That's a card, just like the "Transformation Jar," capable of instantly unleashing the full power of the "Dark Realm."

"Activate the Spell Card: 'Hand Elimination'. Both players discard all cards from their hands and then draw cards from their decks equal to the number of cards discarded."

"Oops!"

Izayoi Yuki's expression changed slightly. Having just experienced a duel with Grafa, she knew very well what this magic card meant.

"My hand consists entirely of 'Dark Realm' monsters. I discard them to the Graveyard and draw 5 more cards. At that moment, all the effects of the 'Dark Realm' monsters will activate."

Because of the mask, his expression was not visible, but anyone could imagine how arrogant Grafa's expression was at that moment.

"Prepare to fall into the abyss of despair just like your little girlfriend, kid... huh?"

Then, the next second, Grafa's voice suddenly became puzzled.

"What's going on? Why isn't my 'Dark Realm' monster activating its effect?"

Chapter 113 We Are All People of the Underworld (Part 2)

"What's going on? Why isn't my 'Dark Realm' monster activating its effect?"

Grafa's puzzled voice rang out.

His gravesite was completely silent; the dark power that should have surged forth in response to him remained motionless. Coupled with Grafa's arrogant declaration earlier, the scene became extremely awkward.

The silence was broken only when You Xi spoke up.

"That's because of the effect of the 'Destruction Sword - Magic Destruction Sword'."

"The 'Destruction Sword - Magic Destruction Sword'? Which card is that?!"

Grafa suddenly raised his head and looked across at the other side.

Their gaze fell upon the dragon-slaying blade in the hands of the "Magician of Chaos".

Yuki continued, "When 'Destruction Sword - Magic Destruction Sword' is used as an Equip Card, your opponent cannot activate the effects of monsters in their Graveyard. Therefore, your 'Dark World' monsters naturally cannot activate their effects because of your discarding card."

"So that's it."

Izayoi Yuki suddenly realized, "So that's why Izumi summoned 'Alliance Transporter' and equipped 'Magician of Chaos' with that card. Maybe that will work..."

The most distinctive feature of the "Dark Realm" deck is its ability to continuously trigger effects when cards are discarded from the hand to the graveyard, thus bringing various positive benefits to the user. Although issues such as how to discard cards must be considered, and a failed activation can lead to a deadly hand, its power is undeniable.

But now, that power has been sealed away.

This means that the biggest threat to Yuuki has disappeared, and he has created a situation that is absolutely advantageous to himself. If this can be maintained, the winds of victory will surely blow in Izumi's favor!

"Tsk! Always trying to be clever."

Yuxi's move clearly displeased Grafa, who impatiently cursed, "Did you think you could win against me with such tricks? Activate a Continuous Spell from your hand: 'Sign of Survival'!"

"As long as this card is on the field, whenever I Special Summon a monster from my Graveyard, I can draw one card from my Deck."

He casually slapped a forbidden card out of his hand; no wonder he's a villain of the [Doomsday Bell] rank, able to pull out even a card like this. However, "Dark World" is indeed the most suitable deck to unleash its power.

But before Grafa could officially enjoy the benefits of this Continuous Magic Card, a magical blade struck first.

"But that's not all my clever tricks are! When a Spell/Trap Card's effect activates, the effect of 'Chaos Magician' activates! I can choose 1 card on the field to destroy!"

The "Survival Treasure Card" was torn apart by the blade, preventing Grafa from using it to draw cards.

"But that effect can only be used once per turn, and then it cannot be activated again."

The bombing of the "Survival Treasure" did not anger Grafa; after being tricked by Yuxi at first, he quickly regained his composure.

"During Attack Position, summon 'Bege, the Vanguard of the Dark Realm,' then return any 'Bege' of 7 stars or lower to your hand, and Special Summon 'Rain, the Demon King of the Dark Realm' from your Graveyard."

"Rain, the Demon King of the Dark Realm, Level 8/Dark/Demon" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 1800"

The "vanguard" appeared for less than a second before turning into black mist and reforming into a terrifying demon with the title of "Demon King".

With an attack power of 3000, it can't even pass one level in "The Magician of Chaos," but it can still surpass other monsters in Yuki.

"The Special Summon effect of 'Demon King' does not form a chain, and even your 'Sword of Magic Destruction' cannot prevent its revival. Return 'Demon King' to your hand, and Special Summon 'Dragon God Grapha of the Dark Realm' from your Graveyard."

"Grafa, the Dragon God of the Dark Realm, ATK: 2700"

Using the same operational logic, replacing "Demon King" with Demon Dragon Shadow restored Grafa's hand to 5 cards.

"Activate the Spell Card: 'Discount Shopping', discard the Level 8 'Demon King', and draw 2 cards from your Deck. Then, 'Dragon God of the Dark World' attacks 'Alliance Transport'!"

Grafa, having drawn a second card, didn't seem to have drawn one that could break the deadlock, and immediately declared to enter the battle phase.

His target is the "Alliance Transport Vehicle" on the field of Yuxi - "Dark" has a dying message, "Chaos Magician" can't be defeated for the time being, only "Alliance Transport Vehicle" has low attack power and high threat, so it must be eliminated first.

But Yu Xi had, of course, prepared countermeasures for this.

"The moment you attack, the effect of 'Link Kuriboh' activates! Tribute this card; until the end of this turn, reduce the attacking monster's ATK to 0!"

"Krikri!"

"Connecting Kuriboh" let out a cute cry, then leaped up and charged towards the demon dragon that was trying to unleash its dark dragon breath. It rammed its head into the "Dragon God's" chin, forcing the dragon breath back down.

"Grafa, the Dragon God of the Dark Realm, ATK: 2700→0"

With its attack power reduced to 0, "Dragon God" instantly became the weakest character on the field, and launching another attack would be tantamount to suicide.

Of course, Grafa wouldn't do something so foolish.
