As soon as the attack command was issued, the opposing player, a punk, opened his card.

"You've been tricked! Activate the Trap Card [Divine Protection - Mirror Force -]! You can activate this card when your opponent declares an attack. Destroy all Attack Position monsters on your opponent's field, and the game is over!"

The punk rocker laughed wildly, as if he could already see his victory.

"Trying to mess with my bug girl? Don't even think about it! Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card 'I Become a Shield'! When your opponent activates a card with the effect 'Destroy Monsters on the Field,' pay 1500 Life Points to negate its activation and destroy it! Hmm—"

Paying for health points also hurts a little.

A protective shield, as smooth as a mirror, blocked the attack of the [Atra Insect Trap]. Just as it was about to unleash a beam of destruction upon the insect girls, a humanoid phantom, identical to Chang Yan, appeared before them, deflecting the beam of destruction before shattering into pieces.

Wow, am I really going to die like this...?

"The battle continues, [Atra's Trap Demon], keep attacking!"

Under the furious expression of the Atla Worm Trap, several huge black pincers viciously stabbed at the punk. The incredibly realistic image almost made him fall to the ground in fright, but he still managed to react at the last moment before the attack hit him and opened another face-down card.

"Activate the Trap Card [Chained Boomerang] when your opponent declares an attack. Change that attacking monster to Defense Position."

The chelicerae stopped in mid-air, and a boomerang with a chain flew out, binding the enraged purple-haired girl and forcing her into a defensive stance.

"But I still have a second Trapculus. [Lanka's Trapculus] Attack directly."

Scythe-like pinkish-white limbs shot out swiftly from the suddenly appearing hole in the ground, venting the girl's fury.

"what--"

Shamate LP3050→1550

"Set two cards face down, end the turn."

"Damn it! My turn, draw a card! Alright, I activate [Monster Resurrection], revive, [Bloody Beastman]!"

This scene looks familiar.

As Chang Yan thought, he then ruthlessly opened the cover card.

"You can activate the Trap Card [Bottomless Trap Hole] when your opponent Normal, Flip, or Special Summons a monster with 1500 or more ATK. Destroy and banish that monster."

"What?! I summon a Bristly Rat in Defense position. End of turn."

"My turn, draw a card."

Uh, did I just have a stroke of bad luck?

Looking at the [Power of Unity] in his hand, Chang Yan revealed a subtle smile.

"I Normal Summon [Trynn's Trap Hole] and activate its effect! You can activate this effect when this card is successfully Summoned. Add 1 'Hole' Normal Trap Card or 'Trap Hole' Normal Trap Card from your Deck to your hand. I choose [Bottomless Trap Hole] to add to my hand."

The white-haired girl with dazed eyes stood there casually, as if she hadn't woken up properly.

"Then I activated the Equip Spell Card [Unity Power] and equipped it to [Lanca's Trap], because I had a total of 3 monsters on the field, so [Lanca's Trap]'s ATK increased by 2400 points."

[Lanka's Trap] Attack Power: 1500 → 3900

"3,3900 attack power!"

"It has already surpassed the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"incredible!"

The onlookers gasped in shock, while the punk rocker on the other side was completely dumbfounded.

3900 attack points, how do you fight like that?

A 2000-point attack might pique their curiosity, 3000 points is synonymous with power, and 3900 points is close to terror.

"Entering the combat phase, [Lanka's Trap] attacks [Hard-haired Rat]."

Accompanied by the cherry-haired girl's cold laughter, an even larger pinkish-white scythe-like limb tore through the earth, piercing the poor rat from the ground and instantly shattering it.

"【Atra's Trap Demon】Direct Attack!"

"Okay, take out the puzzle cards."

After putting away his deck, Chang Yan walked up to the punk rocker, his muscles already bulging as if ready to unleash their power.

"You bastard—"

Are we about to fight?

"That's awesome!"

The punk rocker raised his head and praised Chang Yan.

......

Oh no, another dueling-minded person.

"3900 attack power, this is the first time I've ever experienced this, haha. Here, these are two puzzle cards, and this is my deck."

The punk laughed heartily and generously handed the items to Chang Yan.

"Ah, thanks."

Flip, flip, flip...

"Then I'll take this card. Good luck to you too."

He added a [Force] to his hand, which was also a polite way of putting it.

When he put the six puzzle cards together, the system also issued a prompt.

[Ta-da! Congratulations, Changyan! Based on the time it took you to collect all the rewards and the intensity of the duel, you can choose two of the following four rewards.]

[1 - Gain the power of the Dark]

[2 - Obtain a card pack containing 4 cards]

[3 - Gain one opportunity to change your deck]

[4 - Obtain the effect of turning an OCG card into an animated version once]

Choose 2 out of 4? That's amazing!

Although you may not realize it, the duelists you faced were already quite good for this era.

What does "the power of darkness" mean?

[Dark Duel, Elven Power]

understood.

"I choose 1 and 3."

[You think I'll just give it to you because you say so? The reward will only be given when you enter the final arena. Remember, in the original work only the first 8 people could qualify for the duel, but I've slightly changed it, and the finalists now have 13 members.]

Adjustment?

"...Eunuch Cao, come on, I have something to tell you."

With a wave of his hand, Chang Yan made Eunuch Cao and him run to Lin Yu and the others.

"Go forth, D-HERO, rule over man, and decide destiny!"

"what--!"

Passerby LP: 0

Hearing Lin Yu's excited shout, Chang Yan's expression became somewhat subtle.

This...it seems he's also been infected with a dueling mentality.

"What is it, Changyan?"

"It's nothing, it's just..."
