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

You Chen's gaze fell on the two face-down cards, and his mind raced through the possibilities.

He was guarding against two possibilities: being attacked from the pier, or dying upon landing, or dying at any moment after landing.

The most representative form of death upon landing is the rapids burial.

They even went so far as to execute nine generations of their family.

A single hair can affect the whole body.

"So——"

You Chen raised his hand, his voice drawn out.

"Prepare to advance to the combat tier."

He deliberately emphasized the word "advanced" and focused his gaze on the person opposite him.

These words were spoken to Daichi Misawa.

The hunter is most sensitive when waiting for the prey to step into the trap. Just hearing a certain word will make him blurt it out.

really.

"What's wrong?"

Daichi Misawa blurted out, his tone full of astonishment.

"You have over a dozen cards in your hand, and you're not summoning them?"

His expression changed as soon as he said it.

You Chen smiled.

The smile was understated, even somewhat gentle, but to Daichi Misawa, it was like a dull knife slowly cutting into his nerves.

"Hmm?" You Chen tilted his head. "You seem to really want me to summon you?"

Daichi Misawa's expression froze on his face.

At that moment, he realized he had overreacted.

She also realized that You Chen had already guessed something.

You Chen did not continue speaking.

Verification complete.

It's a devastating card like Torrent Tribute. Otherwise, Daichi Misawa wouldn't be in such a hurry. He'd love to summon as many as possible to maximize the card's value.

Unless Misawa Daichi could perfectly execute a subconscious reaction in that instant.

But he's a top student, not a movie star.

Daichi Misawa was secretly alarmed, realizing that Yu Chen seemed to have seen through his thoughts.

How is that possible?

How did he guess that Torrent Tribute was a card that came out of nowhere?

Surely they couldn't have been that experienced? Out of countless foreseeable dangers, how could they have managed to anticipate this particular move?

For You Chen, there are essentially two types of card-covering: defense and offense.

He has to consider either attacking the target's trap, dying upon landing, or being able to clear the field at any time after landing.

Once you think about it this way, there aren't many issues left to consider.

You Chen withdrew his gaze and no longer hesitated.

"Advanced to combat level".

This is the real entry into the battle stage. Just now, it was Xu Huang who fired the first shot. If Misawa Daichi's eyesight had been normal, he might have summoned another monster to suppress the card.

However, after testing it out, it was no longer needed.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the tall figure on the field.

"[The Captain Charging into Battle] - Direct Attack!"

[The captain who charged into battle] leaped high into the air, his long sword flashing with a sharp light, and slashed down at Misawa Daichi!

The sword flashed, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Misawa Daichi stared at the approaching sword, his pupils suddenly shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

Then he laughed.

That smile is the smile of someone who has been driven to the brink of despair and finally has their chance to turn the tide.

"Wandering Dust Lord!!"

His voice boomed, filled with the exhilaration of finally getting to this moment.

"As expected of you!"

"But—you didn't expect this, did you? I'm on the fifth floor!"

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

"I have another trick up my sleeve! Torapkadohacido!!"

"Activate [Ripple Shield - Wave Power]!"

The moment the card was flipped over, a light blue ripple spread out from him, turning the entire arena into a calm lake, yet concealing deadly intent.

"This effect can only be activated when the opponent's monster declares a direct attack!"

Daichi Misawa's voice grew louder and louder, each word sounding like it was being roared from his chest.

"All Attack Position monsters on your opponent's field—return them to their owners' Deck!"

Ripples surged and swept over the four monsters in the arena like a tidal wave.

"At this moment! I will destroy every monster on your field!!"

Once touched by a ripple, all cards are sent back to the deck.

The arena where the dust once lingered will be completely empty.

Misawa Daichi seemed to already see himself turning the tables in the next round.

however--

You Chen raised an eyebrow slightly as he watched the ripples rushing towards him.

Then he laughed too.

"powerful."

He spoke, his tone so sincere it sounded like he was praising someone.

"That's too strong."

Daichi Misawa's smile froze on his face.

Not right.

"but--"

You Chen's voice trailed off.

He picked up the two cards with two fingers and slowly raised them to his chest.

Is that really the case?

Daichi Misawa's pupils suddenly contracted to almost nothing.

"What?!"

His voice was distorted, and he seemed incredulous.

"No...is this step still within your scope of consideration?"

He stared intently at the two cards in You Chen's hand, his mind a complete mess.

"Wait a minute! How did you take out two cards?!"

You Chen did not answer.

He simply tossed the two cards aside.

The two cards traced two graceful arcs in the air, landing face up on the duel disk.

"At this moment—"

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it struck the heart of Misawa like a heavy hammer.

"I'll give you a good lesson."

"What is meant by the power of a hand pit?"

"Activate the effect of [Proclaimer of Purple Light]!"

"When your opponent activates a Trap Card, you can send this card and one Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect."

You Chen's voice was calm as still water, yet it sounded like the pronouncement of death.

"That activation—failed and destroyed."

The [Proclaimer of Purple Light] emitted a dazzling purple light, like the light of judgment, shooting straight towards the oncoming rippled protective shield.

The two forces collided in mid-air.

The purple light tore through the aquamarine ripples, like tearing open a thin sheet of paper.

The corrugated protective cover shattered on the spot.

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

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He thought he was on the fifth floor.

He thought he had predicted all of You Chen's moves.

The torrent burial is just a smokescreen; the real killer move is the ripple shield.

After You Chen cautiously probed the area and thought it was safe before launching an attack, he wiped out all the monsters in one fell swoop.

perfect.

Perfectly clothed.

But little did they know—

You Chen was waiting for him in the atmosphere.

"You just made a prediction."

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

"But I anticipated your prediction."

Daichi Misawa swayed.

"ah--!"

The captain's longsword had already landed on him.

-1200LP!

Health counter jumps: 2400 → 1200.

Misawa Daichi staggered a step, and before he could regain his balance, he saw the Dark Manticore pounce on him.

The jet-black claws tore through the air.

-2300LP!

"Whoa—!"

Health: 1200 → 0.

Zero.

At that moment, Misawa Daichi immediately realized the vast difference in strength between the two sides.

Like a chasm.

"I lost."

Daichi Misawa was completely convinced of his defeat.

You Chen simply smiled and said, "It's just luck."

"Now, you'll be handing over your deck to me."

Misawa Daichi was quickly eliminated, and the news was broadcast throughout the entire duel area.
