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

"My turn, draw a card!"

Hyoga added the card to his hand and then began to ponder.

Good guy!

Hyoga currently has two face-down cards and three cards in his hand, but he doesn't actually have a single card that can destroy Kaiba's back row card.

Was I influenced by the seahorse's "luck"? But what surged just now was "momentum," not "luck"!

However, reflecting on his previous duels, Hyoga felt that there must be some deeper connection between "momentum," "skill," and "luck," but Hyoga had not yet figured it out.

That makes sense when you think about it. After all, they are all abilities of the soul, and they are inherently one. It was Hyoga who, through enlightenment, forcibly separated and quantified the three.

"Defend the inner side against a monster! Then... attack!" Hyoga pointed at the [Dragon Ruler] opposite him. "Although the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is stronger, let's still destroy this warrior who can summon dragons!"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Destructive Shot of White Light!"

The blue-eyed white dragon opened its mouth wide, and a beam of white light shot out rapidly.

However, the attack did not land on the [Dragon Ruler], but was instead sucked into a vortex that suddenly appeared in front of it.

Kaiba's expression was arrogant at this moment, "Trap Card [Attack Nullification], ending your Battle Phase immediately!"

That's really a survival card! Although I have one too.

Hyoga inserts another card into the Spell & Trap Zone. "Then I'll set a card face down, end my turn!"

Now, Glacier only has one card left in his hand: [Millennium Primal Man], which both sides know about.

Let's see what tricks the seahorse has up its sleeve now.

However, when he had no cards in hand earlier, he pulled out a [Heavenly Treasure Card]. Kaiba wouldn't...

"My turn, draw a card... Hahahaha!" Kaiba's sudden burst of laughter revealed his outcome. "I activate the spell card 'Life-Slaying Treasure Card' to draw up to five cards in my hand, but during my standby phase five turns later, I will have to pay the huge price of sending all my cards to the graveyard."

Sure enough, that guy really is a killer.

Hyoga felt that if he didn't complain about the "huge cost" of this card at this moment, wouldn't he be out of place?

Looking at the five gleaming cards that Kaiba drew again, Hyoga felt that Kaiba's "momentum" was about to break through.

"Using the spell card 'Dragon Summoning Flute,' I summon... both 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons' in my hand simultaneously!"

Another dragon-summoning flute appeared before the Dragon Ruler, and the ancient dragon's roar resounded once more. Two white dragons simultaneously emerged from behind Seto Kaiba and roared out.

All I can say is that you're truly amazing, Seahorse!

Four blue-eyed white dragons gathered together, just like they had been at the Haima Group headquarters before.

The blue-eyed white dragon of the glacier showed no signs of being at a disadvantage when facing three of its own kind.

"Bātōru!" the seahorse roared, pointing at Hyōga's Blue-Eyes White Dragon. "This time, we'll utterly annihilate that vengeful remnant!"

This time, instead of all three firing simultaneously, one of the Blue-Eyes White Dragons, which wasn't equipped with the [Gigantify] ability, charged directly at Hyoga's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, intending to perish together with him.

But the glacier certainly wouldn't allow that to happen.

"Trap Card 'Attack Nullification' activated!"

I also have a stand-in that looks exactly the same!

The red vortex blocked all of the seahorse's attacks.

But Kaiba was not discouraged. He put both of his cards into the spell/trap zone and ended his turn.

Now that they've switched sides, the seahorse team has completely gained the upper hand.

Their momentum is overwhelming!

It would be so embarrassing to lose!

Hyoga pondered for a moment, then drew out the card.

As expected, it wasn't a "treasure card from heaven"; his own "luck" couldn't completely suppress the seahorse.

However, looking at the [Swamp Demon King] in his hand, Hyoga had a very bold idea.

If you're not lucky, you can be lucky!

However, before Hyoga could finish thinking, Kaiba on the other side had already eagerly flipped over his face-down card.

"Trap Card 'Destruction Wheel' activated! Destroy one monster on the field, and both monsters take damage equal to its ATK."

The seahorse then pointed at Hyoga's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, "What I'm going to destroy is your Blue-Eyes White Dragon, of course!"

Haima, LP3050

[Glacier, LP2000]

If the sabotage is successful, Seahorse can still retain its LP, but Hyoga will lose.

The remaining matching [Defense Wheel] doesn't need to be activated.

Glacier was speechless.

Is Kaiba possessed now? Why is he targeting my Blue-Eyes White Dragon?

Hyoga seems to have forgotten that Kaiba's reason for tearing up the fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon was that his deck could only hold three copies, and the fourth copy might fall into the hands of his opponent and cause trouble for him.

Now that the situation he anticipated has occurred, that's why he's so anxious about the seahorse.

But it was this impatience that gave Hyoga the chance to escape defeat.

"Then I'll chain-activate the Trap Card 'Forced Escape Device'! Returning my 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to my hand! This negates the activation of 'Destruction Wheel' which has lost its target!"

Before the Destruction Wheel, laden with grenades, could be placed around the neck of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, a mechanical device launched the dragon into the air, then returned to its original form as a card, falling into Hyoga's hand. However, Hyoga scratched his head as he sent the "Forced Escape Device" to the graveyard… When did this card get into my deck again… Oh well, never mind, the duel is the priority.

"President Kaiba, you're too impatient!" Hyoga looked at Kaiba with a half-smile. "If you destroy my cards again during the battle phase, I won't be able to win this turn."

"Hmph!" Kaiba sneered as his technique was countered once again. "You clown! So what if it isn't? I still have three Blue-Eyes White Dragons on the field. You can't summon your Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Millennium Man. Wait until my turn..."

"It's not your turn anymore!" Hyoga declared in victory. "Now I've met all the conditions for victory!"

"President Kaiba, you said you have three Blue-Eyes White Dragons on the field? Then why do I only see one?"

"Flip Summon 'Penguin Soldier'! Based on its effect, return your two Blue-Eyes White Dragons with 3000 ATK to your hand!"

Despite being level 8 monsters, the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons, which had no resistance, returned to their duelists' hands just like Hyoga's Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Kisama!" the seahorse roared again.

"See, you're in such a hurry! Wait until I've finished this move before you get impatient! Because now, you won't have Blue-Eyes White Dragon on your field!"

"Open the face-down card, Quick-Play Spell 'Enemy Controller'! I'll use 'Penguin Soldier' ​​as cost to bring your last Blue-Eyes White Dragon to my field!"

Let me examine your dragon's body!

Although the Blue-Eyes White Dragon has changed control, it is still on Kaiba's field due to its [Gigantify] ability, so its attack power remains at 1500.

If only this could be transformed into a 6000-power monster, that would be fantastic.

This time, the seahorse's defenses were truly breached.

Compared to having his fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the opponent's field to challenge him, it was even more unacceptable for Kaiba to have his own Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the opposing field.

However, Hyoga wanted to tell him that the most unacceptable thing was yet to come!

Hyoga showed his hand to Kaiba, who was eager to charge, and said, "I'll continue to activate the effect of 'Swamp Demon King' in my hand, discarding it from my hand to the graveyard, and directly drawing a 'Fusion' from my deck!"

"Now, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived!"

Hyoga's "momentum" is increasing rapidly, while Kaiba's "momentum" is decreasing rapidly because all three Blue-Eyes White Dragons have left his field.

With the tides turning and the tides rising, the glacier's "momentum" has already overwhelmed the seahorse!

Therefore, the power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in Hyoga's hands has already surpassed that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon with 1500 attack power that is still on the field.

"I activate 'Fusion'!" Hyoga revealed the 'Fusion' card and the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to Kaiba, "I'll fuse the two 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons' in my hand and on the field!"

You're so happy!

Under Kaiba's incredulous gaze, Hyoga's Blue-Eyes White Dragon reappeared on the field, grabbed the other Blue-Eyes White Dragon that was still trying to resist, and dragged her into the magical vortex created by [Fusion].

Hyoga had previously tried creating a fusion card of Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

However, even with the support of the Swamp Demon King, the fusion could not be successfully completed with only one Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

But now, don't we have the power of two blue-eyed white dragons?

As the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons entered the vortex of fusion, a purple Fusion Monster Card gradually took shape in Hyoga's hand!

"Ichi-yo! Fusion Summon, Blue-Eyes... Twin Burst Dragons!"

The fusion vortex was suddenly burst open, and a blue-eyed monster with two heads descended!

[Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, 10-star, Attack Power 3000]

The seahorse stared at the monster, muttering, "Blue-Eyes Twin... Burst Dragon?"

Guiping was also stunned at this moment!

After the bull took away my brother's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it was also fused with his!

In the expert rules of the Ice Age, there is no strange rule that a Fusion Monster cannot attack in the turn it is Fusion Summoned. This 10-star monster can attack directly.

"Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, let that guy called the Dragon Ruler see if you can be ruled by him!"

"A devastating burst of white light!"

Of the two heads of the Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, the one that was particularly excited opened its huge mouth and destroyed the Dragon Ruler with a single shot!

The remaining force was all poured onto the seahorse.

[Haima, LP3050→1250]

When the white light faded, the seahorse was kneeling on the field, clutching his chest, seemingly in considerable pain.

But seeing that its LP (Limited Amount) had not yet reached zero, the seahorse still struggled.

"Oh, right! I forgot to mention!" Hyoga looked at Kaiba with his usual half-smile, "The Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon has two effects. First, it can't be destroyed in battle, and second, it can attack twice per turn!"

"Come on, second head, it's your turn to attack! Destructive bursts of white light, double blast!"

The consciousness of this head naturally comes from the blue-eyed white dragon of the seahorse.

Despite her strong resistance, under the stronger control of the other head, she opened her mouth wide and attacked the seahorse!

Although this beam of light was extremely small, incomparable to the previous one, the seahorse was still blasted away solidly.

She fainted after landing on the magic circle.

[Haima, LP1250→0]

"Brother..." Keihei wanted to jump off the plane, but with Kaiba's defeat and the completion of the duel ceremony, the agreement within it had begun to take effect. He also fainted and lost all his memories from catching up with Hyoga until now.

Seeing this, Hyoga reached out and helped Kaiba back to his seat at the back of the fighter jet, and removed his deck.

However, Hyoga isn't the kind of bad guy who randomly takes other people's cards. He's doing this only to reclaim his Duel Disks.

Hyoga put Kaiba's deck back into his pocket and then sealed the Duel Disk back into the card... This was originally Hyoga's spare Duel Disk, which he had just taken out of a card with a sealing effect.

"President Kaiba, I'll take back the weapon! I'll let you recall this memory when you set foot on the land of Duel Kingdom! I can't let my momentary whim ruin all the preparations the International Fantasy Club has put in so long!"

Using magic to transfer the fighter jet to the ground, Hyoga rode on the back of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and continued flying into the distance... The plane from the International Fantasy Society to pick him up and take him back to headquarters had been waiting for a long time!

However, looking at the Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon in his hand, Hyoga felt very satisfied; he could only let it be delayed for now.

Thank you so much, President Kaiba!

Hmm? Why does he seem more like a villain now?
