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

It was the voice of Daichi Misawa.

You Chen turned his head and saw Misawa Daichi standing not far away with a smile on his face, holding a few cards he had just looted.

"That's quite a coincidence."

You Chen gave a casual reply, but his gaze swept around.

He was propelled there by the catapult; Misawa Daichi couldn't possibly keep up.

Otherwise, he would really suspect that this guy had been following him from the very beginning in order to duel him.

Without wasting any words, Misawa Daichi opened the Duel Disk and inserted his deck.

"Let's duel!"

His eyes sharpened, his smile faded, and he became serious.

"Ever since the start of the semester, I've wanted to have a duel with you."

He paused.

"You didn't agree before, but surely you can't refuse today, right?"

You Chen looked at him and did not refuse.

I came here specifically for a duel.

"Then so be it."

You Chen also opened the Duel Disk and inserted his deck.

"DUEL—!"

The two shouted at the same time, and the duel disks were activated in sync. Metal chains popped out from both sides of the disks, colliding, entangled, and locked in mid-air.

A forced duel is hereby established.

A coin is tossed into the air, flips, and falls.

reverse side.

Misawa Daichi goes first.

"Great! I'll go first!"

Daichi Misawa drew a card, his gaze quickly sweeping over his hand.

As a top student, he had absolute confidence in his deck—this Axe King deck, which he scavenged from the park, was well-rounded in both offense and defense, had a high margin for error, and was very suitable for this kind of unknown battlefield.

"First, I'll indicate a monster on my back side."

He snapped a card, face down, and landed it on the field.

"Then set both cards face down, and the turn ends."

The two cards fell face down one after the other, standing silently.

On Misawa Daichi's field, one monster card and two other cards were covered, a standard opening.

You Chen looked at the three cards on the back and raised an eyebrow slightly.

It's not clear what kind of strategy it is yet.

But since Misawa Daichi dared to take the initiative to challenge, he must have something special.

"My turn, draw a card."

You Chen reached out and pressed his hand on the top of the deck, drew a card, and glanced at his hand.

Then he pulled out a card and held it high.

"Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card—[Whirlwind]!"

The moment the card was played, a green whirlwind materialized out of thin air and roared towards Misawa Daichi's backcourt.

"I'll destroy the face-down card on your left!"

The whirlwind hit its target precisely.

The cover is flipped open—[Explosive Armor]!

You Chen: "..."

Armor explodes! Another armor explodes!

His lips twitched.

The [Explosive Armor] is truly a weapon that comes with its own taunting attribute.

Every time the cover is placed, it's almost always the first one to be targeted.

It's specifically designed to deceive those who are prone to misfortune.

Daichi Misawa frowned, but didn't seem to care too much. It was just a trap; once it was gone, it was gone.

But You Chen's next move changed his expression.

"then--"

You Chen pinched a card between two fingers and flipped it over.

"Activate the Spell Card—[Apostle of Annihilation]!"

The moment the card lit up, a beam of holy light descended from the sky, enveloping the monster guarding the inner side of the Misawa land.

"You can activate this effect by targeting 1 face-down monster on the field." Youchen's voice was unhurried. "Destroy and banish that face-down monster. If the banished monster is a Flip Monster, banish all cards of the same name from both players' Deck as well."

He paused, then looked at Misawa Daichi.

"You mentioned before that you've always wanted to learn my grotesque style?"

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"If this really is a dark and evil deck..."

"Then I'm sorry, we'll eliminate it."

Daichi Misawa's pupils contracted slightly.

The monster was forcibly flipped open by the holy light—

The tomb-guarding soldiers!

A standard Flip Effect Monster whose effect is to flip it over and bounce one of your opponent's monsters back into their hand.

Misawa Daichi's tactical strategy was instantly revealed—first use the [Grave Guardian] to hold the line, while preparing to clear the field, and then launch a surprise attack in the next turn.

Very good tactics.

The logic is clear and the steps are interconnected.

Unfortunately, he encountered You Chen.

"What a monster of reversals."

You Chen smiled.

The holy light exploded, and the [Gravekeeper] shattered instantly, turning into specks of light and dissipating. Not only that, another [Gravekeeper] in Misawa Daichi's deck was also forcibly ejected and banished along with it.

Both are gone.

Daichi Misawa's face twitched slightly.

His painstakingly designed defenses were breached by a single card before they even began.

"No wonder he's a top student."

You Chen's voice came through, carrying a hint of sincere admiration.

"This approach is flawless, even ahead of others. Axe King combines offense and defense, using Reversal Monster to slow down the pace, and then seizing the opportunity to finish the game in one fell swoop."

He paused.

"What a pity."

Daichi Misawa took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Nothing.

It's just a reverse monster.

He still has a chance.

Then he saw You Chen pull out another card.

"bring it on--"

You Chen held the card high, his smile widening.

"As expected of Misawa Daichi, his will is unwavering!"

"Let's take one then! A painful choice."

The card was played.

"Activate the Spell Card—[Bitter Choice]!"

Five cards flew out of Youchen's deck, hovering in mid-air, lined up in a row.

【Demon Axe】

【Dark Manticore】

【Dark Manticore】

【Claw of the Dark Dragon Clan】

【Soul Scissors】

Five cards, each gleaming with a different color in the sunlight.

"I choose five cards from my deck and show them to my opponent. My opponent chooses one of these cards to add to my hand and discards the rest to the graveyard."

You Chen looked at the land of Sanze, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Choose.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Daichi Misawa's forehead.

What to choose?

Neither option is correct.

The top student's brain was working at lightning speed, calculating every possibility.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and pointed to one of the cards.

"【Dark Manticore】".

You Chen raised an eyebrow.

The card flew into You Chen's hand, while the other four fell into the graveyard.

You Chen smiled.

"It doesn't matter what you choose."

He drew a card and slapped it onto the duel disk.

"I Normal Summon—[The Vanguard Captain]—from my hand!"

A figure landed on the field, clad in armor, wielding a long sword, exuding an imposing aura.

Attack power 1200.

"When the Captain is successfully Summoned, this effect activates—Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand!"

You Chen flipped over another card.

"Come forth, [Kick-Killer]!"

A lithe figure leaped out, his feet wrapped in bandages, his eyes sharp.

Attack power 1300.

"When the Striker is Special Summoned, its effect activates - Equip 1 Equip Spell Card from your Graveyard to itself."

You Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the cemetery.

"What I'm going to equip is—the [Dark Dragon Claw]!"

"The equipped monster gains 600 ATK and cannot be destroyed by the opponent's effects."

A black light flew out from the graveyard, transforming into sharp claws that gripped the arms of the assassin.

Attack power 1300 → 1900.

On the field, the captain stood with his sword, while the attacker's claws flashed.

In the graveyard, there lies a [Dark Manticore], ready to be resurrected at any time.

Misawa Daichi stood there, looking at the scene that had already taken shape opposite him, his face gradually turning pale.

He suddenly felt a pang of regret.

Why did you provoke him for no reason?
