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

"Next, let's advance directly to the battle stage!"

You Chen's voice boomed across the empty amusement park, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression.

He pointed.

"[The captain charging into battle], attack directly!"

The captain leaped high into the air, his longsword flashing with a sharp light, and slashed down at Misawa Daichi!

Daichi Misawa's pupils suddenly contracted.

But he didn't panic.

"Wait!"

He suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the card that had been lying quietly in the back of the court.

"Open the face-down card! Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card—[Rebellion]!"

The moment the card was flipped over, an eerie red light enveloped the entire arena.

"During your or your opponent's Battle Phase, you can target 1 monster your opponent controls!" Daichi Misawa's voice was fast and urgent. "Control of that monster transfers to you until the end of the Battle Phase! This turn, your monsters other than the targeted monster cannot attack!"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to another monster in the mortal realm.

"I've chosen—your [Kicker] on the field!"

With a flash of red light, the figure of [Kick Killer] disappeared from Youchen's field and reappeared on Sanze Daichi's field the next second.

The captain's sword missed its mark, landing on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

You Chen's attack was perfectly evaded.

He withdrew his hand, looked at the top student opposite him whose forehead was already sweating, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

It must be said that Daichi Misawa is indeed quite capable.

They balance offense and defense, and every move is meticulously planned.

They're a bit difficult to deal with.

"No wonder he's a top student."

You Chen's voice was devoid of emotion, but Misawa Daichi inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.

"but--"

You Chen paused for a moment.

"My turn is not over yet."

Daichi Misawa was stunned.

It's not over yet?

The attack has failed, what else can be done?

You Chen ignored his question, drew a card from his hand, and placed it in the back row.

"I activate the Continuous Spell Card from my hand—[Treasure Card of Survival]!"

The moment the card fell, a magic card emitting a pale golden light appeared in the back row.

A person is kneeling on the ground, with three cards floating above their head.

"The effect of this card is that when a monster in your Graveyard is successfully Special Summoned, you can draw one card from your Deck."

Misawa Daichi seemed to realize something was wrong, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Special Summon Graveyard Monster?

What does he mean?

You Chen didn't leave him puzzled for long.

He pointed to his own grave.

"So, in the final stage—"

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it was like a blunt knife, slowly cutting open the nerves of Misawa Daichi.

"I can activate the effect of the Graveyard [Dark Manticore]."

"During the End Phase of the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can send 1 Beast-Warrior-Winged-Beast monster from your hand or field to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Special Summon this card from the Graveyard."

You Chen drew a card from his hand and revealed it.

It is another one of the [Dark Manticore].

"I choose to send this card, [Dark Manticore], from my hand to the graveyard."

The card was sent to the cemetery.

"Then, resurrect the first [Dark Manticore] from the graveyard!"

The light in the cemetery surged, and a jet-black scorpion-tailed lion leaped out of the light and landed on the field of wandering dust.

At the same time, the [Survival Treasure] flashed with light.

"【Survival Treasure】effect activated, Special Summon successful, draw 1 card."

You Chen drew a card from the top of his deck, and without even looking at it, added it directly to his hand.

Then he laughed.

"It's not over yet."

He pointed to the cemetery again.

"The resurrected [Dark Manticore] is on the field now, right? So—"

He reached out his hand to the manticore that had just been resurrected on the field.

"I'll send it to the graveyard to activate the effect of another [Dark Manticore] in the graveyard!"

The manticore on the field turned into specks of light and vanished, falling into the graveyard.

The light in the cemetery surged again, and a second manticore leaped out.

"Special Summon successful. [Survival Treasure Card] effect: Draw one more card."

Another card acquired.

Daichi Misawa stood rooted to the spot, completely motionless as if struck by lightning.

He understood.

Infinite loop.

Two Dark Manticores, one on the field and one in the graveyard, can revive each other. Each revival triggers the Treasure of Survival, allowing you to draw one card.

If he wants, he can keep looping until he drains the entire deck!

Misawa Daichi suddenly remembered the painful choice he had just made.

At first, Misawa Daichi didn't know the effect of [Dark Manticore], but he recognized the other equipment cards.

So out of the five cards, two are equipment cards and one is a low-level monster.

Therefore, both logically and emotionally, the high-star monster should be given to You Chen.

However, this was exactly what You Chen wanted.

But actually, it doesn't matter to You Chen. Whether or not he has this card, it won't affect his attack.

It's just that this will make the pace faster.

You Chen drew six cards and then stopped.

He didn't continue drawing—at the end of the turn, if you have more than six cards in your hand, you have to discard them. Drawing too many cards would be a waste.

He stopped, looked at the pale-faced academic genius opposite him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"The effect of the rebellion drama disappears at the end of the battle phase."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of [Kick Killer] disappeared from the field of Misawa Daichi and returned to Yu Chen's side.

At this moment, on You Chen's field—

[The captain who charges into battle].

[The Kick Killer].

【The Dark Manticore】.

Three monsters stood side by side.

Six cards in hand.

A [Survival Treasure Card] is in the back row.

Meanwhile, Misawa Daichi only had two cards left in his hand.

Two.

Misawa Daichi immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

……

In the monitoring room.

The lighting was dim, with only a few large screens emitting a faint glow.

Bekas sat in a large leather sofa, legs crossed, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand. The scarlet liquid rippled gently in the glass, reflecting his ambiguous smile.

His gaze swept across the screens.

Then, his gaze settled on a certain screen.

Wandering dust.

Pegasus narrowed his eyes slightly, his thousand-year-old eye, hidden by his bangs, staring intently at the figure through the gaps in his hair.

"interesting……"

He muttered to himself.

He saw the whole sequence of actions clearly.

During the end phase of the turn, two monsters can revive each other to trigger a card draw.

This kind of chain is not based on luck or brute force.

It requires brains.

It is in such a short time that the cards were selected and combined to form a perfect chain.

Pegasus took a sip of red wine, his smile deepening.

"This guy's name is You Chen?"

He put down his wine glass, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Wandering Dust Boy..."

His voice was very soft, echoing softly in the dimly lit monitoring room.

"That's interesting."
