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

Chapter 225 Was the Entertainment Duel Really Wrong?

"Golden Tooth Wolf summoned successfully, effect activated!"

Ellipse's voice carried a hint of eager excitement: "All Entertainment Partner Monsters on your field gain 200 ATK until the end of the turn!"

Golden-Toothed Wolf, attack power increased!

Orange-yellow energy surged around the Golden-Toothed Wolf, causing its attack power to jump rapidly.

[Entertainment Partner Golden Tooth Wolf, ATK1800→2000]

"Battle! Attack the fossilized pachycephalosaurus with your entertainment companion, the Golden-Toothed Wolf!"

Ellipse raised its hand, pointing directly at the Pachycephalosaurus, its eyes blazing with a desperate light. "Even if our attack power is the same, I'll take you down with me!"

He had thought it through clearly: the card that blocked P was nothing more than this small fry with an attack power of only 1200.

You can just defeat it with a lower-level monster.

"Once this blockade ends, I'll be able to teach him the true meaning of a smile through a genuine entertainment duel."

He thought to himself silently.

"Sorry, you want to die together with me? Not so easy."

A mocking smile curled at the corner of You Ming's lips as he flipped over a face-down card in the back row. "Activate Trap Card—Phantom Sword!"

A pale golden magic circle unfolded in front of the Pachycephalosaurus, and a greatsword gleaming with an eerie light appeared out of thin air, firmly attaching itself to the Pachycephalosaurus's fossil armor.

"Attack power is even?"

Yuya's pupils contracted slightly, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Even so, we'll be destroyed together!"

No, you're mistaken.

You Ming shook his head, his tone slightly mocking, "The Phantom Sword's effects go beyond this."

The monster equipped with this card can send itself to the Graveyard to negate one destruction.

"What?!" Yuya's expression changed drastically.

"In other words, it's only your Golden Tooth Wolf that will be destroyed."

Yu Ming said, "The Phantom Sword will bear the fate of destruction for the Pachycephalosaurus, while your monster will dissipate alone."

"Damn it! I will never let you succeed!"

Yuya suddenly realized what was happening, turned around and sprinted towards the depths of the arena, his eyes behind his goggles fixed on the ground.

"Action cards! Where are the action cards?!"

His entertainment duels always involve the reversal of action cards. At this moment, only by finding an action card can he break this inevitable defeat!

"Oh? Running around again?"

You Ming scoffed, took off, and instantly gave chase. "What a pity, this futile struggle is completely useless."

The two moved swiftly through the warehouse, the gravel crunching under their feet.

Yuya shouted as he ran, "Shut up! This is a real action duel!"

Racing across the arena, searching for survival in dire straits—that's the kind of duel that brings smiles!

"A smile?"

You Ming's voice came from behind, filled with undisguised sarcasm, "You're running around like a stray dog ​​just for an uncertain action card, and you call that bringing smiles? I just find it laughable."

"Found it!"

Yuya suddenly caught a glimpse of golden light emanating from behind a piece of rubble—it was an action card!

He suddenly accelerated and lunged forward. Just as his fingertips were about to touch the card, You Ming suddenly sped up and delivered a sharp elbow strike to his side waist!

"what!"

Yuya screamed and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a pile of rubble.

A surge of heat rose in my chest, and I almost vomited blood.

You Ming bent down and picked up the action card, playing with it in his hand, a playful smile playing on his lips: "Were you looking for this? Too bad, it's mine now."

Just then, the Golden Fang Wolf on the field charged uncontrollably toward the Pachycephalosaurus, and the two monsters, each with an attack power of 2000, collided with a deafening roar!

The orange-yellow energy exploded with the yellowish-brown fossil energy, and the Golden-Toothed Wolf was instantly shattered into dust.

The phantom sword on the Pachycephalosaurus flashed with light, taking all the impact for it, and the greatsword shattered into pieces.

[Pachycephalosaurus fossil dinosaur, ATK2000→1200]

"You've gone too far!"

Yuya clutched his side, glaring angrily at Yuming: "The fun of action duels lies in fair competition."

Your rude interference is not how duelists should behave!

"What do duelists look like?"

Yu Ming looked down at the action card in his hand, his eyes full of disdain. "In my opinion, the way a duelist should act is to do everything possible to win."

So-called fair competition is nothing but self-comfort for naive people like you.

He raised his hand and revealed an action card: "Activate Action Spell - Power Crystal!"

Choose one of my monsters, and its ATK increases by 800!

Red light entered the Pachycephalosaurus's body, and its fossil armor gleamed with a metallic sheen.

Attack power surged again, returning to 2000!

[Pachycephalosaurus fossil dinosaur, ATK1200→2000]

You Ming was secretly annoyed: I was still a step too late. If I had gotten this card earlier, I could have ended the duel right away.

It seems that the unpredictability of action duels is indeed a bit troublesome.

Shingo Sawatari, who was watching the battle, put away his usual arrogant demeanor, his brows furrowed, and his tone was serious: "His attack power has returned to 2000, and he can also lock special summons. Yuya only has 500 LP left. This is really going to be tough —"

Although Kongenzaka remained resolute, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his voice tinged with worry: "I believe in Yuya! His entertainment duel will definitely create a miracle and defeat this guy who only cares about winning and losing!"

But at this moment, Yuya was far less resolute than they had imagined.

He slumped onto the pile of rubble, the pain in his side and the frustration in his heart intertwined, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

After failing to find the action card multiple times, he was also repeatedly and rudely interfered with by Youming.

His prized entertainment duels appeared utterly pale and powerless in the face of his opponent's absolute strength and pragmatic tactics.

Why————

He muttered to himself, his eyes vacant, "Was my entertainment duel, my approach, really wrong?"

He recalled all the details of the duel—he wanted to use an entertaining duel to bring smiles, and he wanted You Ming to understand the true meaning of dueling.

In the end, instead of getting a smile from the other party, he was driven to the brink of collapse and almost swore.

"Is it really true that entertainment duels can't affect others?" He closed his eyes, and the image of his father, You Sheng, appeared in his mind.

"Laugh when you feel like crying!"

The father's voice was gentle yet firm, "Since we're going to duel anyway, let's make the duel even more enjoyable and infect everyone with our smiles!"

"Father----"

Yuya's eyes reddened slightly. "But how can I be happy in this situation?"

My smile can't move anyone at all, and I can barely hold on to it myself.

Yu Ming's philosophy was like a heavy hammer, striking hard against the beliefs he had upheld for many years.

Is the essence of a duel really just about determining victory or defeat?

Is a smile really just a meaningless burden?

Confusion overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

He looked at the menacing Pachycephalosaurus and Thunder King on the field, and at You Ming's cold face.

For the first time, he had deep doubts about his entertainment duel.
