Yu-Gi-Oh!: Worldwide Mix, the Ultimate Necromancer Duel

"Therefore, my optimal solution is to prioritize summoning my monsters, getting past your comfort zone. Once my board is mostly formed and I can handle potential counter-attacks, then I'll deal with your biggest threat—the enhanced [Cyber ​​Ice Blade]!"

These words fell clearly, like an icicle piercing the silence.

Asuka Tenjouin's eyes suddenly narrowed, as if some kind of cognition deep in her pupils had been shattered and then re-ignited by an even more dazzling light!

She stared blankly at You Chen, her rosy lips slightly parted. The composure and calmness that belonged to a top student on her beautiful face was now completely replaced by an almost subversive shock.

She never expected that... this seemingly casual young man who had just happened to pass by was actually so meticulous, deep, and calculating!

Not only did they have a thorough understanding of the effects of her trump card monster, but they also accurately predicted and ruthlessly exploited her psychological tendencies, tactical choices, and even her brief moments of waiting for the right opportunity in different situations!

Indeed, her considerations were exactly as You Chen had said!

She waited calmly, waiting for the opponent to gather all three monsters, thus triggering the hidden ultimate effect of the Ice Blade Hand.

"If your opponent controls three or more monsters, negate the effects of any Spell/Trap/Monster effects activated by your opponent!"

That would have been the perfect opportunity to seal the victory and make the final call.

Unexpectedly, this waiting based on her absolute confidence in her strength, and this composure that she believed she had in control of the rhythm, became a shield in the eyes of the other party, allowing them to pass safely and act recklessly!

Junko and Momoe completely abandoned their previous disdain and teasing. They looked at each other, their wide eyes revealing deep astonishment and disbelief.

Only then did they belatedly realize that beneath the calm surface of this seemingly invincible duel, which Asuka appeared to be bullying bystanders, lay a sophisticated and dangerous psychological game and tactical counter-strategy that sent chills down their spines from the very beginning!

This passerby... is definitely not simple! He might even be a monster!

"Here we go!" You Chen's offensive didn't stop at all. He revealed another card in his hand with a smooth and natural movement: "I reveal [Masked Hero Fountain] from my hand!"

A blue hero card, depicting a figure appearing and disappearing amidst ripples of water, appeared in the air, spreading out in circles of waves.

"Reveal this card from your hand to your opponent, then Special Summon 1 'Hero' monster from your hand in Defense Position!"

"What I specially summon is—the hero who leads the winds of heroism and rides the skies, [Elemental Hero Sky Warrior]!"

【Elemental Heroes: Sky Knight】

Wind attribute / 4-star / Warrior race

Attack: 1800 / Defense: 300

"And activate the effect of [Elemental HERO Sky Knight]!" You Chen's voice suddenly rose.

"When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, activate one of the following two effects!"

His gaze, like a drawn sword, instantly pierced the two still enigmatic face-down cards in Asuka's back row:

"●Destroy your opponent's Spell/Trap Cards, up to the number of other HERO Monsters you control!"

"At this moment, besides Sky Knight, I also have Solid Knight and Shadow Mist Lady on my field, a total of two other 'Hero' monsters! Therefore, I can destroy yours—"

He swung his arm forcefully, his fingertips seemingly unleashing invisible shockwaves, his voice resolute and decisive, like a judgment:

"Those two face-down cards!!"

"What?!" Asuka's pupils contracted sharply, and she exclaimed in shock. She instinctively tried to move, but the power of the duel's rules had already descended.

"Asuka!" Yu Chen announced loudly, a calm smile playing on his lips, as if he had already seen through everything and was in complete control. His voice echoed clearly in the air, which trembled slightly from the energy surge, carrying an undeniable declaration:

"Warm-up exercises are over..."

"The real game—"

"This is just the beginning!"

You Chen's words were like pulling a trigger.

Skywalker's thrusters suddenly spewed out a torrent of hot air as he crossed his arms in front of his chest and then swung them outwards with a powerful motion!

Two condensed, tangible heroic storms, carrying an aura of tearing and purification, roared out like precision-guided missiles, tracing dazzling trajectories as they shot directly at Asuka's two face-down cards in the back row!

"Bang! Bang!"

Two crisp sounds, almost simultaneously!

The card phantoms covering the storm shattered like fragile glass the moment they were touched, turning into specks of light and dissipating, forcing them to reveal their true forms.

One of them is a trap card depicting an exploding armor pattern – [Exploding Armor].

The other card is a trap card depicting a sudden crack in the ground that creates a pit – [Pitfall].

You Chen's gaze swept over the afterimages of the two broken cards, and he almost couldn't help but laugh.

Wow! What a classic combination!

One was one of the causal weapons that was said to be impossible to activate, and the other was an ancient pit that was specifically designed to trap low-star monsters... He actually predicted it.

In just a moment, the balance of power reversed!

This was completely unexpected for Tenjouin Asuka. Her icy blue eyes re-examined Yu Chen, the surprise and shock in her gaze fading, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and seriousness.

She finally realized that she was not facing a challenger who could be easily dealt with, but a formidable enemy who she had to go all out for and who might even have to risk everything to deal with.

Without a second thought, You Chen had already sketched out the formula for victory in his mind.

His two fingers moved like lightning, already gripping the next key card, raising it high, the card surface shimmering with an unusual luster in the morning light.

"Next! I'll activate a Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand—"

"【Mask Transformation】!!"

As the card was snapped open, strange energy ripples spread outwards.

"You can target 1 'HEATK' monster you control. Determine that monster's Attribute and send it to the Graveyard. If this effect causes that monster to leave the field, Special Summon 1 'Masked HEAT' monster with the same Attribute from your Extra Deck!"

"Drink it—!"

Then, [Elemental Hero Sky Knight] let out a clear and melodious roar, and the vast air currents surrounding him suddenly became violent!

He's wearing a mask!

Sky Knight's figure became blurred in the gale, and pure and powerful wind energy enveloped him into a blue cocoon of light.

The cocoon of light trembled violently, as if something faster and sharper was about to break out of it!

"The brave warrior who rides the skies, here you cast aside your old form, don your mask, and become one with the divine wind!"

You Chen spread his arms as if welcoming the approaching storm, his voice like a command amidst the suddenly intensified howling wind:

"Descend, Level Eight—"

"Kamen Rider Kamikaze!!!"

"boom--!!!"

The cyan cocoon of light exploded with a deafening roar! A hurricane ten times more powerful than before burst out in all directions from the point of impact!

Amid Junko and Momoe's exclamations, a brand new figure tore through the gale and stood proudly!

Kamen Rider Kamikaze

Wind attribute/8-star/Warrior race/Fusion

Attack: 2700 / Defense: 1900
