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

"Now it's my turn, draw a card!"

Daichi Misawa's voice echoed in the dueling arena, carrying a stubborn refusal to admit defeat.

He stared intently at the card that had been drawn, his gaze shifting from tense to frozen, and then from frozen to bursting with dazzling light.

"As expected of Pegasus!"

His voice was trembling.

"We even have this rare card!"

He suddenly raised his head, looked at You Chen, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"This will be my moment of triumph!"

He pulled out a card and slammed it hard onto the duel disk.

"Normal Summon - [Mega Hammerhead]!"

Roar--!

A dinosaur with a hammer-shaped head leaped out of the light, its two feet stomping the ground, causing the entire arena to tremble slightly. The enormous hammerhead gleamed with a metallic sheen, and it was clear that being hit by it would be extremely painful.

Super Hammerhead Dragon

Earth Attribute/Four-Star/Dinosaur Race

Attack: 1500

"Next, stamp a card!"

Daichi Misawa slams a card down in the back of the table, face down.

Then he held up his last card, his smile growing even brighter.

"Activate the final card—the Spell Card [Life-Slaying Treasure Card]!"

The moment the card was flipped over, a dazzling light descended from the sky, enveloping the land of Misawa.

"You draw cards from your Deck until you have 5 cards in your hand. At the start of your 5th Standby Phase after this card is activated, send all cards from your hand to the Graveyard."

He reached out and pressed his hand on the top of the deck, drawing five cards in quick succession!

The hand is instantly filled.

"Let's have a showdown of treasure cards!"

Misawa Daichi looked at Yu Chen, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

You Chen looked at him and couldn't help but laugh.

Even when Axe Kings clash, the attacks can be this intense?

To be honest, it was a bit of a surprise.

But honestly, compared to the era of storytelling that followed, this era of the Axe King is actually quite comfortable.

Simple and unpretentious.

It was even located in the capital.

Misawa Daichi's operations are still ongoing.

"Next, activate the Spell Card—[Angel's Charity]!"

Three more cards were drawn, and two were discarded.

"Not enough!"

Daichi Misawa's voice grew louder and louder.

"I activate the Spell Card from my hand—[Premature Burial]!"

The moment the card was revealed, a beam of light shot towards the graveyard.

"Pay 800 Life Points, then target 1 monster in your Graveyard! Special Summon that monster in Attack Position, and equip this card to it!"

-800LP!

Health: 4000 → 3200.

"I will resurrect the [Heroic Challenger Warhammer Soldier] from the graveyard!"

A burst of light erupted, and a warrior clad in heavy armor, wielding a massive hammer, leaped from the graveyard and landed with a resounding crash. With the hammer in hand, his imposing presence was awe-inspiring.

[Heroic Challenger Warhammer Soldier]

Earth Attribute/Six-Star/Warrior Race

Attack: 2100

You Chen raised an eyebrow.

Banned cards are flying everywhere.

The "Life-Slaying Treasure" has arrived.

This card is even more overpowered than the [Heavenly Treasure Card] – it has almost no side effects and allows you to draw five cards in one turn.

"Advanced to Battle Rank!!"

Daichi Misawa waved his hand, pointing at the [Dark Scorpion Lion] on the field.

"[Super Hammerhead Dragon] attacks [Dark Manticore]!"

The hammerheaded dinosaur roared as it charged out, its massive hammerhead rising high before crashing down on the manticore!

boom--!

The manticore was smashed to pieces.

But at the same moment, the Super Hammerhead Dragon shattered!

-800LP!

Misawa Daichi had to endure the damage from the attack difference, gritting his teeth, with only 2400 LP left in his health!

"Activate the effect of [Super Hammerhead Dragon]!" Daichi Misawa's voice rang out at the opportune moment. "Any opponent's monster that battled this card and was not destroyed, bounce back to its owner's hand at the end of the Damage Step!"

You Chen looked down and saw that the Dark Manticore, which should have gone to the graveyard, had not disappeared. Instead, it turned into a beam of light and flew directly back into his hand.

They turned the tables.

Misawa Daichi paid no attention; his gaze had already been locked on his next target.

"[Heroic Challenger Warhammer Soldier] Attacks [Kicker]!"

The heavily armored warrior leaped high into the air, gripping his hammer with both hands, his muscles taut, using all his strength—

boom--!!!

The hammer slams down!

The [Kicker] was instantly crushed!

-200LP!

Youchen's HP: 4000 → 3800.

"It's not over yet!"

Daichi Misawa's voice grew increasingly excited.

"The effect of 【Heroic Challenger Warhammer Soldier】! When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, you can equip the destroyed monster to this card as an Equip Card!"

He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Youchen's grave.

"I'm going to equip your [Kicker] from the graveyard onto the [Heroic Challenger Warhammer Soldier]!"

"Furthermore, this card's ATK increases by the ATK of the equipped monster!"

He looked at You Chen and finally revealed a long-lost smile.

Everything is finally moving in a positive direction.

however--

Is that really the case?

You Chen's voice rang out, neither hurried nor slow.

Daichi Misawa's smile froze on his face.

My heart skipped a beat.

You Chen stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of his own grave.

"Activate the effect of the Equip Card [Dark Dragon Claw]!"

His voice was as calm as still water.

"If an equipped monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect if this card is also sent to the Graveyard."

He paused.

"Special Summon that monster to your field, and re-equip this card."

Daichi Misawa's pupils suddenly contracted.

"so--"

You Chen's lips curled up slightly.

"Want to equip my monster? Not so easy."

The graveyard glowed, and the [Kicker] that had just been destroyed leaped out of the graveyard once more, landing steadily on the Playground.

Its arms were still tightly gripped by the Dark Dragon Clan's claws.

Daichi Misawa opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Of the two monsters he painstakingly defeated, one returned to his hand, and the other revived on the spot.

He wasted his time.

All that effort was for nothing.

"and--"

You Chen's voice rang out again.

He pointed to the Continuous Spell Card in the back row.

"The effect of 【Survival Treasure】: When a monster in your Graveyard is successfully Special Summoned, you must draw three cards from your Deck."

(The animation effect is drawing three cards, and it's mandatory. I forgot to include the animation effect in the previous chapter, so I've already fixed it.)

He paused.

"[Kicker] was successfully Special Summoned!"

He reached out and pressed his hand on the top of the deck, drawing three cards.

Draw three cards.

The three cards are added to the hand in turn.

My hand size has been replenished again, now boasting an astonishing ten cards.

Misawa Daichi stood still, looking at the calm and collected man opposite him, at the monsters that had once again filled his field, and at the thick stack of cards in his hand.

He suddenly remembered a sentence.

There are some people whose limits you never know.

Because every time you think you've seen through something, he pulls out something new and tells you—

This is just the beginning.

Daichi Misawa felt increasingly hopeless as the battle progressed.
