Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

After planning his tactics, Ryoji Asuka's voice was hoarse with anger, and his eyes flashed with a crazed killing intent as he roared:

"Battle! Attack the fossil dinosaur Pachycephalosaurus with the [Saint-Scytherosaurus - Half-Dragon Geb]!"

You have thoroughly enraged me, enraged a sleeping dragon!

Half-dragon Geb swung his fist, and a golden energy wave shot towards the Pachycephalosaurus. Ryoji Asuka screamed inwardly:

We must win!

Once I destroy this dinosaur that blocks Special Summoning, I can unleash my deck and turn the tables on Yu Ming!

This time, I'm going to make You Ming pay the price!

"Today I'll show you what happens when you offend the Asuka family..."

But before he could finish speaking, a cold smile suddenly appeared on You Ming's lips.

He raised his hand and waved it towards the backstage area, his tone full of disdain: "I don't care about your long-winded nonsense. If you have any last words, go down and tell them to the King of Hell!"

Entering the damage calculation phase, activate the Trap Card [Phantom Sword]!

The third face-down card exploded into a streak of silver light, and an invisible, dark purple holy sword phantom enveloped the Pachycephalosaurus.

"Phantom Sword's effect activated: Target one monster on the field, and its ATK increases by 800!"

[Fossil Dinosaur - Pachycephalosaurus, ATK1200→2000]!

Looking at the Phantom Knights' signature card, You Ming finally smiled with a smug grin.

This Phantom Sword is one of the few successful card-printing results he achieved during his recent extensive card-printing practice.

He felt a sense of accomplishment after successfully applying it to his real-world deck.

But at this moment, Ryoji Asuka was in a dilemma.

Yu Ming deliberately waited until the damage phase of the battle phase to use this card, by which time he could no longer use "Sacred Mark of Annihilation" to forcibly erase that Pachycephalosaurus.

Because the Master Rules stipulate that during the damage determination phase, apart from cards with trigger-type effects such as Divine Judgment, other effects cannot be activated.

Only card effects that change attack or defense stats can be used.

The Holy Mark of Annihilation is clearly not within the scope of this effect.

But now his monster's attack power is no match for that of the Pachycephalosaurus.

If the fight continues like this, the result will definitely be a counterattack.

He still possesses the "Holy Mark of Reflection," which can unleash the Holy Mark Monster to nullify and destroy the Phantom Sword, but!

He was in a dilemma again...

If he really does that, then it's equivalent to him not doing anything to the Pachycephalosaurus card.

The special summon's lock-on effect still applies to the field.

He still had no solution to this situation.

Ryoji Asuka finds himself in a dead end.

Without 'counterattacking', the monster will be easily defeated.

Even after using it, the blockade on the field still couldn't solve the problem.

No solution!

"There's no other way, I'll activate the Counter Trap 'Reflection of the Holy Mark'! I'll release one Holy Mark monster on the field, negate the activation of the Trap Card, and destroy it."

The Pachycephalosaurus's bony armor instantly glowed with a silver halo, but its attack power surged and was shattered by the golden energy wave.

However, this beam of light was powered by the orange dragon.

[Pachycephalosaurus, ATK2000→1200]

The half-dragon, which could normally summon a new dragon-type normal monster after being liberated, was unable to do so under the pressure of the Pachycephalosaurus.

He raised his head and looked at You Ming's cold face, the anger in his eyes almost solidifying.

A hoarse curse escaped his throat, filled with endless resentment and venom: "You bastard! I'm not finished with you!"

The booming sound of their duel shook the walls of the entire floor, and the doors to rooms 3201 and 3202 were opened almost simultaneously.

Kanesaki Sou poked his head out with a melon seed in his mouth, while Kurosaki Ruri instantly gripped the Duel Disk and rushed out.

Liuli immediately spotted Asuka Ryoji opposite Youming, surrounded by the golden spiritual energy of the Holy Dragon.

The dragon-type spirit's aura surged, immediately making it seem as if You Ming was in a difficult battle.

Without saying a word, he turned around and went back into the house. When he came out again, he had his deck in his hand.

The duel disk flashed red, forcing a duel to begin: "You Ming, I'll help you!"

She never cared about winning or losing a duel; she only knew that whoever dared to lay a hand on You Ming was her enemy.

Even if it's two against one, we will never let You Ming get hurt in the slightest.

Yu Ming caught a glimpse of Liu Li's actions out of the corner of his eye and raised his hand to make a gesture to stop her.

With a flick of his fingertips, his tone carried undisguised contempt.

"No need, this weakling isn't worth the two of us working together. I can handle him by myself."

After saying that, he turned to look at Ryoji Asuka, whose face was ashen.

Her eyebrows rose even higher, full of provocation: "Is it over yet? If not, it's my turn."

Ryoji Asuka was trembling with anger as he looked at Yu Ming's Pachycephalosaurus and Raikou on the field.

One of my cards was completely blocked, and the special summon of the Holy Dragon was prevented, leaving me with no chance to even begin to play.

The frustration and anger in his heart almost consumed him, yet he was helpless.

He could only grit his teeth and say fiercely, "Set one card face down, end the turn!"

He didn't believe You Ming could maintain this blockade indefinitely. As long as he could hold out until he drew a removal card, he would make that kid pay the price!

You Ming gave him no chance to breathe: "My turn, draw a card."

Battle! The fossil dinosaur, Pachycephalosaurus, directly attacks the player!

As soon as the command was given, the Pachycephalosaurus let out a deep roar, its skull gleaming coldly.

With his limbs pushing off the ground, he charged towards Ryoji Asuka like a runaway heavy tank, accompanied by a howling gust of wind.

The shockwave from the impact sent the carpet flying through the corridor.

Seeing this, Jin Sencang, who was about to intervene, slowly lowered his hand that was halfway out.

He curled his lip, thinking to himself: This brat still has some sense of propriety.

He could see clearly that You Ming deliberately suppressed his energy, not unleashing the full power of the spirit, but only using the impact of its basic attack power.

The dueling chains used were not even at the level of a life-or-death struggle.

It may seem like a big show, but in reality, it won't cause any harm to anyone.

In Jin Sencang's view, his own child was the one who was being targeted for trouble.

Not killing them is already quite rational!

This lesson is nothing more than children playing around.

"You think I'm afraid of you?!"

Ryoji Asuka screamed hysterically, trying to brace himself to block the attack.

"Activating a Trap Card 'Side Effect?': The opponent randomly draws 1 to 3 cards, and I recover the equivalent number of cards x 2000 Life Points."

Three cards immediately popped out of You Ming's deck and landed in his hand before he could even react.

[Ryoji Asuka, LP900→6900]

"Oh?"

This card left You Ming completely bewildered.

Why would you issue such a card that harms the enemy?

The pachycephalosaurus's thick armor grazed his shoulder and slammed into the wall behind him with a loud "thud".

The wall was dented, and cracks spread outwards.

The powerful blast of air sent Ryoji Asuka flying, slamming him hard into a protrusion on the wall, a mouthful of metallic sweetness rushing to his throat.

[Ryoji Asuka, LP6900→5700]

He struggled to sit up, supporting himself on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, yet he forced a cold smile.

His eyes were sinister: "So this is all there is to Xinyuan, the number one place."
