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

Chapter 79 Whose place is cleaner now?!

You Chen simply smiled without saying a word.

On Marufuji Ryo's field, five monsters stood side by side.

There are still three cards left in my hand.

As expected of Caesar.

The pressure was immediately maximized.

Anyone else would have panicked in this situation, but You Chen maintained his smile throughout.

"Not only that."

Marufuji Ryo's voice rang out again, breaking the silence in the hall.

"This effect can only be activated if the card 【Raphael the Hero of the Skyfang Gang】 is Special Summoned."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the hero who had just entered the field.

"Remove from the top of your Deck the same number of different types of 'Fang' monsters you control, except for 'Raphael the Hero of the Fang'."

He paused.

"There are currently four types on the field: Bit, Helma, Sier, and Bravo."

"So I can flip over four cards, choose one to add to my hand, and return the rest to my deck."

He deftly flipped over the top four cards of the deck, glanced at them, and selected one to add to his hand.

Put the remaining three cards back into the deck and gently shuffle them.

All in one go.

"then--

Marufuji Ryo raised his hand, his voice suddenly rising in pitch.

"Advanced to Battle Level!"

His finger pointed to the only remaining [Mech Fortress] in the arena.

"【Raphael, the Hero of the Skyfang Corps】—Attack the 【Mech Fortress】!"

With a roar, hero Raphael gripped his greatsword and leaped into the air. The massive sword, wreathed in a sharp flash of light, slammed into the heavy armor of the mech fortress!

boom-!!

Metal fragments flew everywhere.

The mech fortress shattered instantly.

—800LP!

Youchen's health counter jumped: 4000 → 3200.

Marufuji Ryo withdrew his hand and looked at Yu Chen with a scrutinizing gaze.

But You Chen smiled.

That smile stirred something within Marufuji Ryo.

"So what?"

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

"If this card [Mech Fortress] is destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard"

His voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"Target 1 card on your opponent's field; destroy that card."

He reached out and pointed directly at Raphael, the hero who had just been rampaging on the field.

"So, I'm also taking your card, 'Raphael the Hero of the Empty Fangs,' with me!"

'

As soon as the words were spoken, a cannonball roared out from the shattered remains of the [Mech Fortress], heading straight for the hero Raphael!

The shells pierced the air, their killing intent palpable.

Marufuji Ryo, however, remained unmoved.

He picked up a card with two fingers and flicked it lightly.

"I forgot to tell you, [Raphael, the Hero of the Empty Fang Clan] has another effect."

His voice was as calm as still water.

"When your opponent activates a monster's effect, you can discard 1 'Empty Fang Bunch' card from your hand to activate this effect."

The card in his hand fell into the graveyard.

"That activation—ineffective."

The shell exploded in mid-air, vanishing into nothingness.

Hero Raphael is unharmed.

The effect of the Dust of Wandering has been nullified.

A low gasp of surprise rippled through the hall.

The duelists watching from the corner couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Caesar is Caesar—"

"This suppressive power—"

"You Chen is completely under your thumb!"

Yugi Muto stood to the side, his eyes unblinking.

He saw things in greater detail.

Youchen's expression is not quite right.

That kind of smile didn't seem like a smile of someone who had suffered a loss.

Marufuji Ryo gave Yu Chen no chance to catch his breath.

"【Bravo, the Fighter of the Skyfang Clan】—Attack the 【Mech Skeleton】!"

Bravo leaped out, his blade wreathed in scorching flames, and slashed down fiercely!

The mecha's mechanical skeleton was instantly pulverized!

On Youchen's field, only one [Mech Fortress] remains.

Marufuji Ryo withdrew his hand and his gaze fell on Yu Chen.

"Lord Youchen".

His voice was deep.

"And what about you then?"

The hall was so quiet that you could hear the candlelight flickering.

Everyone stared at You Chen.

Then-

You Chen smiled.

That smile was exactly the same as before.

"If we say one..."

His voice was light and airy, like a pebble dropped into a calm lake.

"Was that interaction just now something I did on purpose?"

Marufuji Ryo frowned.

He paused, startled.

"If we didn't do that..."

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

"How do I bait out the effect of your [Hero Raphael of the Empty Fangs]?"

His voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Activate the effect of [Mech Colonel] in the graveyard!"

The card popped out of the graveyard and he grabbed it.

"This effect can be activated if this card is in your Graveyard and a face-up Machine-Type EARTH monster on your field other than 'Colonel Mech' is destroyed by battle or card effect."

He slammed the card down.

"This card—Special Summon!"

A burst of light!

A colossal figure slowly rose from the light. It was a super-heavy mecha behemoth, its armor as thick as a mountain, its cannons as thick as pillars, and the ground trembled with every step it took.

[Mecha Colonel]

Earth Attribute/Ten-Star/Mechanical Race Attack Power: 3000

A colossal, heavily armored mech has arrived!

Marufuji Ryo's pupils contracted slightly.

You Chen's counterattack has only just begun.

"Not only that!"

You Chen's voice grew faster and faster.

"Activate the [Mech Colonel] effect!"

He waved his hand.

"During your or your opponent's turn, you can target 1 Machine-Type monster you control; this effect can be activated!"

He pointed to the giant beast that had just appeared.

"I've chosen—the [Mech Colonel] himself!"

"Then-"

His finger pointed toward Ryo Marufuji's field.

"Destroy all monsters on your opponent's field with an ATK lower than or equal to that value!"

Ryo Marufuji on the field—

Fighter Bravo, attack power 1900.

Advisor Sir, attack power 1600.

Swordsman Bit, Attack Power 1200.

Helmsman Herma has a defense rating of 2000, but an attack rating of only 0.

All of these are below 3000.

[Mech Colonel] The giant cannon on his chest began to charge, and a blinding light gathered at the muzzle.

"Super Electromagnetic Cannon - Fire!!"

boom-!!!

A thick beam of energy roared out, sweeping across the entire area where Marufuji Ryo was located!

Bravo is crushed!

Screw it!

Bit crusher!

Herma shattered!

The four monsters were instantly annihilated!

The smoke and dust cleared.

On Marufuji Ryo's field, only the lone hero Raphael remained.

It stood there, sword in hand, but its aura had completely changed.

You Chen withdrew his hand and looked at Caesar, who was usually calm but now finally showed a look of surprise.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Caesar".

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Now, whose place is cleaner?"

The contest between Yu Chen and Marufuji Ryo has been going on since the very beginning, and it continues to this day!

The other duelists present realized that what they initially thought was You Chen's disadvantage had now been reversed.

The situation reversed in an instant!

Everyone present couldn't help but marvel at it.
