Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

"Armed Dragon Lv3!!"

"Smack!"

The moment the card was struck, a tender dragon's roar echoed across the battlefield, and a young dragon beast clad in metal armor proudly flew out!

The duelists cheered upon seeing this.

Unexpectedly, the first card Yu-Che played in the Duel City tournament was Armed Dragon!

【Armed Dragon Lv3】

【Samsung】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/900]

"Put two cards on the slap."

"End of round."

Super Power Field frowned.

Did they summon an armed dragon right from the start?

Although we don't know exactly what card Yuzuru set up, it must have been to protect Armed Dragon so that it could evolve to level 5!

If you can't defeat Armed Dragon Lv3 this turn, then next turn you'll have a Normal Summoned monster in addition to the powerful Armed Dragon Lv5, which is undoubtedly a disadvantage for you.

"Big brother, hang in there! We'll be there in five minutes!"

The voice coming from his earpiece calmed Superpower Field's mind slightly. After taking a deep breath, he began his turn.

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Whoosh——————————————"

As a card was drawn from the deck, Super Power Field's eyes lit up.

Is this the card?!

This monster can not only defeat Armed Dragon Lv3, but can even block the attack of Armed Dragon Lv5!

Great, that's it!!

"Hmph~" Superpower Ryouba laughed smugly, "Yusho, through my superpower, I can clearly know that those two face-down cards of yours are used to upgrade Armed Dragon."

"However, even if that monster really does evolve, it won't make any difference!!"

"Come forth! Attack Position Summon! Mirror Mage - Limit Reflector!!"

A blinding light shone from the card, and a metal magic mirror rapidly transformed in everyone's eyes, eventually becoming a robot resembling a mage.

The mirror on its chest reflects an eerie, magical light, seemingly capable of retaliating against any attack!

【Mirror Master: Limit Reflector】

【Four stars】

[Light Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1700/1000]

It's this card?!

You Che was slightly taken aback.

He couldn't quite recall the monster's specific effects, and the animated version was definitely different from the OCG version.

But since the name contains the word "mirror," it's probably able to reflect effects or attacks, right?

With a wave of his arm, Super Ryoma pointed at Yuzuriha's ace: "Enter battle phase! Mirror Mage - Limit Reflector! Attack Armed Dragon Lv3!!"

"Sizzle——————————————"

A silvery-white light condensed from the chest of the mechanical monster, and a laser beam mixed with magical power shot out, blasting towards the roaming Armored Dragon Lv3!

"boom!!!!!!!!"

Explosions rang out, and plumes of smoke filled the battlefield.

Before the thick smoke had even cleared, the onlookers began to discuss it.

"Huh? The Armored Dragon was just taken down like that?"

"It shouldn't be that bad, that's Yu Che's trump card!"

However, when a cold wind blew by and all the smoke and haze was swept away, everyone was shocked to discover that the Armored Dragon Lv3 had indeed been destroyed in the battle!

In addition, Youche also suffered some combat damage, while the two cards in the back row remained face down.

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

Cruise control, LP: 4000→3500

Super Power Rokuma laughed smugly: "Heh, you defeated your monster so easily?"

"It seems the duel is indeed unfolding as predicted by the superpowers~"

"My turn ends after I place a card face down."

"You Che, now that you've lost your Armored Dragon, I'd like to see what kind of monster you can summon next!"

"Smack!"

With a card falling, the atmosphere in the Super Arena was no longer as tense as before.

The duelists watching from all sides were puzzled.

Even Ryuzaki, the runner-up in the national competition, frowned in confusion.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of passersby, You Che couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

For them, a lower base score is a disadvantage, but after so many years of experience in the real card environment, Yuche has long understood one thing - LP is just one type of resource.

As long as the duel is not over, the difference in the situation between the two sides cannot be judged simply by the amount of LP.

"Then during your end phase, I activate the Continuous Trap Card - Cry of the Dead!" On the eve of his counterattack, Yuzuru finally activated one of his two face-down cards: "Resurrect my Armed Dragon Lv3 in Attack Position!"

"During our Standby Phase, we activate the effect of Armed Dragon Lv3 to send this card from the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon Armed Dragon Lv5 from our Deck or hand!!"

Under the effect of that trap card, a wisp of a ghost floated out of the Wandering Graveyard and transformed into the ghost form of Armed Dragon Lv3 on the battlefield.

As a card was drawn from the deck, the young Armed Dragon Lv3 roared in the storm and evolved into a more powerful Lv5 form!

After Armed Dragon completed its evolution, the trap card that applied to Armed Dragon Lv3 was also reduced to fragments.

【Armed Dragon Lv5】

【Five stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2400/1700]

After witnessing this scene, everyone was stunned for a moment.

These casual observers, whose fighting skills were not particularly strong, seemed to have noticed something, but they didn't quite understand it.

The slightly stronger dinosaur, Ryuzaki, understood Yuzuru's idea: "I see! The best way to protect Armored Dragon Lv3 is not to protect it!"

"Huh? Don't you want to listen to what you're saying?" a dueling enthusiast next to him said disdainfully.

Ryuzaki shook his head and said, "If Armed Dragon Lv3 is kept on the field, the opponent will definitely try to destroy it. Even if it is protected once, it may not be able to protect it a second time."

"But if the Armored Dragon is sent to the graveyard, the opponent will lower their guard!"

"As long as you revive it at the start of your turn using cards like Call of the Dead or Monster Reborn, you can still evolve Armed Dragon from Lv3 to Lv5!"

Upon hearing this explanation, the spectators finally understood Youche's tactics.

"Then why not just summon an Armed Dragon in Defense Stance? That way you wouldn't take combat damage?" But someone still raised the question again.

Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, paused for a moment, then answered very sincerely, "I don't know..."

Despite having countermeasures in place, Psycho Ryoma was still somewhat surprised when he saw Armed Dragon Lv5 appear.

Is this the cry of the living dead?

These are cards updated in the Duel City version.

In the previous Duel Kingdom era, this was a powerful card that could revive all monsters in the graveyard and turn them into Zombie-type monsters, but it has now been balanced into a weaker version of Monster Reborn.

"Heh~" Superpowered Rokujo laughed, "So you summoned it after all?"

"If I remember correctly, Armed Dragon Lv5 can only evolve after defeating the opponent's monster in battle."

"So, Youche, what are you waiting for? Attack now!"

"Ha! Very well! Then so be it!" You Che laughed, waved the card in his hand, and shouted, "My turn! Activate the Spell Card - Monster Resurrection! Revive Armed Dragon Lv3 from the Graveyard!"

"I will now sacrifice my two Armored Dragons on the field for a Superior Summon!!"

"Revolver Dragon!!!"

This move instantly shocked everyone present.

Some of them were well aware of the Revolver Dragon's effects; if they were lucky, this monster could launch three attacks in a row!

With only one monster on the field in the Super Power Field, Yuzuriha might actually be able to end the duel this turn!!

The card fell, and a dragon wielding a revolver, entirely black and equipped with three heavy cannons, made a fierce appearance!

Super Power Field's expression changed; he hadn't expected Youche's fighting style to be so flexible.

It turns out he never intended for the Armored Dragon to evolve continuously from the very beginning!

The purpose of summoning the Armed Dragon is simply to accumulate offerings so that the Revolver Dragon can appear as quickly as possible!

[Revolver Dragon]

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2600/2200]

"Activate the Revolver Dragon's effect: Flip three coins; for each coin that lands heads up, it can attack once this turn!"
