Yu-Gi-Oh!: From Casual Gamer to Soulful Player

After summoning [Dark Magician Girl], the game's power increased significantly.

Although she wasn't the real Tamashi in the game, she could completely excite him.

"And then there's this card, 'The Sage's Jewel'!" The game's action intensified. "While 'Dark Magician Girl' is on the field, this card can be used to Special Summon her master, the most powerful mage among all those who study dark magic—'Dark Magician'!"

When the Dark Magician was placed on the field, Hyoga could feel a gaze falling on him and the New Water Mage.

In 【New Water Mage】, there also seems to be an elven power that has been activated, pushing back the power that 【Dark Mage】 has expanded.

The two cards happened to be placed in the same array, and now they're on top.

After his initial surprise, Hyoga was overjoyed.

Because just now, Hyoga didn't control [New Water Magician]; the power within it was activated by this card itself.

So does this mean that there is a possibility of the birth or resurrection of a new Water Mage?

Water Demon, are you coming back?

Hyoga was so excited that he froze.

However, this led Jonouchi to mistakenly believe that he was afraid because he saw the game continuously summoning the Dark Mage's apprentice.

Jonouchi laughed loudly, "If you're scared, just admit defeat!"

Hyoga snapped out of his daze and looked at Jonouchi with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean I surrendered? Is it because these two magicians can destroy my monster? Or do they dare to attack? If Duel Monsters is just about having the highest attack power, then why didn't he surrender immediately when he saw Seto Kaiba summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon during their battle?"

Jonouchi was rendered speechless and then dragged away by Honda.

Yugi glanced at Jonouchi and Honda's battle, noting it wasn't too intense, then looked back at Hyoga. "Guest, you know about my battle with Kaiba-kun, right?"

His current black mage and apprentice were indeed unable to pass the new water mage's defense, and the round ended there.

"No need to call me a guest! Just call me Hyoga!" Hyoga drew his card for this turn, then his eyes lit up as he placed it face-down on the field. "Not many people know about this, and I happen to be one of them. So today I've come to see if you truly possess the strength to defeat Seto Kaiba."

Just as Yugi was about to draw a card, he stopped upon hearing this. "Kaiba-kun is very strong. Although I defeated him, it was mostly due to luck. As for skill..."

Hyoga chuckled lightly, "Who says luck isn't a part of skill? In Duel Monsters, luck still plays a major role. Take this card you're about to draw, for example! It should help you defeat my new Water Spellcaster!"

I didn't quite understand the game, but I still drew that card.

In the eyes of the glacier, a golden light flashed, and the game placed it on the field.

Magic Card - [Heavenly Treasure Card]

Depend on!

Although he had a general idea, Hyoga still found it incredible.

The reason Hyoga said that was because when he placed his hand on the deck during the game, he clearly felt that his luck was being suppressed.

It's important to understand that the one on the other side of the glacier is still the young pharaoh, not the Pharaoh himself.

At least 10 stars of luck!

Just as Hyoga can now overpower Kaiba with greater "momentum", the game can also use "luck" to suppress Hyoga.

Indeed, all three abilities of the Soul must be developed comprehensively.

If any one of them is missing, the opponent could turn the tide with a single card!

Hyoga and Yugi both drew six cards at the same time, and then Hyoga saw Yugi place a card.

[Gundora the Destroyer, Attack 0]

This is the only remaining card in the game's deck that can directly destroy [New Water Magician]!

The game uses the Dark Mage's apprentice as a sacrifice to put [Destroyer Dragon - Gundora] on the field.

The soul power that was previously dominated by [Luck] has now shifted to [Skill].

The effect of Destroyer Dragon Gundra is to pay half of your LP and destroy all other cards on the field!

Indiscriminate destruction, clearing the area completely.

Although the Destroyer Dragon will eventually be sent to the graveyard, the game still has five cards in hand, so what can't we do!

Regarding this effect, Hyoga said he has an old man.

"Game, I know how to disrupt Dragon Steel Dora's effects, so of course I can't let him activate it. Rather than letting you pay half your LP to clear the field, I'd rather pay half to stop your action!"

"Open the face-down card! Speed ​​3, Counter Trap 'Divine Declaration'! In the name of God, I declare your summoning of the Destroyer Dragon, Gundora, null and void!"

At this moment, the game seemed to truly see the shadow of a god emerging behind Hyoga.

The Soul Power, which had previously dominated the game, is now being suppressed!

The Destroyer Dragon Gundra, which had just appeared on the field, was immediately sent to the graveyard.

Meanwhile, the dark mage and his apprentice, who were sacrificed, will never return.

Only the game itself has opened its doors wide!

The game felt immense pressure.

This feeling even exceeded the pressure the seahorse had put on him at the time.

That was a completely different kind of pressure.

The game player looked at the five cards in his hand, pondering a way to counterattack.

But just then, Hyoga sighed and put down his cards. "Looks like this game isn't going to end! We'll continue this battle another time!"

Hyoga reached into his pocket and pulled a letter, handing it to Yugi. "Mr. Yugi Muto, on behalf of the International Illusion Society, I cordially invite you to participate in the Duel Kingdom Tournament, scheduled for three months from now. You can find out more details during the finals of the Japan National Tournament!"

The game is a bit confusing right now... Why did it suddenly stop?

But looking at the letter that was handed to him, Yugi didn't know whether he should accept it or not.

He had already decided to go with Kaiba-kun...

"Don't worry, Seto Kaiba will be there too! If you don't believe me, you'll see him in ten seconds!"

After Hyoga shoved the envelope into Yugi's hand, he quickly packed away his deck, counting, "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five..."

When the count reached five, Glacier disappeared in front of the game and his friends as if performing magic.

Five seconds later, a figure burst through the door, shouting, "Kisama!"

Domino City is, after all, the headquarters of the Kaiba Corporation. Even with all the disguises and delays, it's already quite an achievement that Kaiba has only now found him.

Unfortunately, by the time Kaiba entered the game room, Hyoga had already left.

With the abilities of a magician, it would be strange if Hyoga could be captured by Kaiba, who is still just a mortal!

The first thing the seahorse saw upon entering was a game where the player was holding an invitation.

Sure enough, Game→ accepted his invitation to participate in the Duel King tournament.

"Game, now that you've participated in this competition, I'll strive to become the Duel King as quickly as possible. I'll be waiting for your challenge!"

After saying that, the seahorse walked out of the game room.

Only the game and its entourage remained completely bewildered.

What exactly is going on?
