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

Page 123

You Che was slightly taken aback.

The Great Cold Wave in the DM era had no restrictions on the timing of its activation, making it far superior to the OCG version.

In the anime, Masaki Kyoko, who is jokingly referred to by many viewers as the "Invincible Legend," encountered this card. Her opponent was using a Penguin deck, and he first used Penguin Sword to increase the attack power of his ace monster, and then used this Great Cold Wave to completely restrict Kyoko's subsequent actions.

Looking at the chilling air descending from the sky and about to freeze the entire battlefield, Youche decisively flipped over a face-down card to initiate a chain.

In this round, Kamano Daigo has not yet performed a normal summon. If Yuche does not prepare in advance, he will be in great danger under the restriction of the Great Cold Wave.

"The instant you unleash the Great Cold Wave, I play the Trap Card—Messenger of Peace!" Yu Che proclaimed. "This turn, my monsters cannot be destroyed by battle! At the same time, all effect damage I take becomes zero!"

Just before the overwhelming chill descended, three nuns, symbols of peace, slowly walked across the battlefield, chanting a harmonious hymn.

Seeing this, Kamano Daigo couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's meaningless, just keep moving."

"This card can protect you temporarily, but in your next turn you won't be able to activate spells or traps, or even set them!"

"When my turn comes again, all I need to do is destroy your only face-down card, and the mighty Lord of Oz will be able to deliver a fatal blow to you!"

My turn is over!

"Yuche, if you want to turn the tide, you have no choice but to summon a monster with an attack power higher than OZ Lord without using any Spell/Trap Cards!"

"But unfortunately, the highest attack power of a normally summoned monster is only 3000 points! That's far from enough to be my trump card!"

Kamano Daigo's combo, though simple, is very effective.

The strategy involves using aggressive monsters to establish a presence on the field, and then sealing magic traps with a powerful frost wave. This is a typical aggressive playstyle.

In the next turn, Yuche can only try to counterattack using monster effects.

While Dark Armed Dragon has the ability to destroy cards on the field, it requires a DARK monster in the graveyard to do so.

Are we going to summon a dark-attribute monster to attack Lord OZ and then self-destruct?

The sheer amount of combat damage alone was far beyond what Youche could withstand at this moment.

Looking at the cards in his hand, Youche's gaze finally settled on Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv3. This monster can be summoned by discarding a monster from your hand to summon a Level 5 Armed Dragon.

If he draws a DARK monster next, he can use Armed Dragon Raiden Lv3 to fill the graveyard, and then use the effect of Dark Armed Dragon to destroy OZ Lord.

but……

Does his deck still contain any DARK monsters?

Currently, his deck only contains two monsters that meet the requirements: Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Dark Magician.

Because there is no bond between him and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, it's impossible to just start using him whenever you want.

The dark mage who was just subdued from Pandora is capable, but considering that he has already expended too much energy, Youche decided to let him rest properly for this battle.

After thinking for a while, Youche decided to take a look at the cards he would draw next.

Even if you can't defeat OZ this turn, you can still hold off Daigo Kamano's attacks with the cards you set last turn.

After all, Daigo Kamano didn't have many cards left after fusing with OZ Lord.

"Whoosh————————————"

With a flick of his wrist, You Che drew a card from the duel disk, and upon closer inspection, he was stunned.

The card I drew...

It's a dark magician?!

I didn't summon the Dark Magician Spirit just now. Was it really just luck? Or did the white-haired Dark Magician spirit consume its own energy and come into my hands?

You Che was somewhat bewildered, but the card spirit—the white-haired black magician—did not offer any explanation; he simply remained silent, residing within the cards.

"What's wrong, Yuzuriha?" Kamano Daigo chuckled. "Judging from your expression, the card you drew doesn't seem too good."

You Che smiled back, revealed the cards in his hand, and said, "No, the cards I drew this turn are just right!"

Upon seeing that the card was just a Dark Magician, Daigo Kamano smiled and shook his head: "It's useless. The attack power of the Dark Magician is still far inferior to that of the Lord of OZ."

You Che said, "If it's just about attack power, the Dark Magician would indeed have a hard time doing anything in this situation. However, he's a Dark-attribute monster!"

Dark attribute monster?

Kamano Daigo was startled.

Looking at the dark armed dragon on the battlefield, he immediately realized You Che's idea. Clearly, he wanted to use the Dark Magician as a cannonball for the dark armed dragon to destroy the Lord of OZ!

but……

With spell and trap cards sealed away, could he really get the Dark Magician into the graveyard?!

Kamano Daigo still harbored a sliver of hope.

But when a dragon monster covered in lightning was summoned by Youche, his last remaining hope was completely shattered!

"My turn!" Yu Che announced, "Attack Position Summon - Armed Dragon Thunder Lv3!"

【Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv3】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/900]

"What?!" Kamano Daigo, who knew about this monster, broke out in a cold sweat.

Yu Che swung down the Dark Magician he had just drawn: "Activate the effect of Armed Dragon Lightning Lv3. This card can be sent to the Graveyard by discarding 1 monster from your hand, and then Special Summon 1 Level 5 or lower Armed Dragon monster from your hand or Deck!!"

"At the same time that Armed Dragon Raiden Lv5 appears, Dark Armed Dragon can also activate its effect again because an additional DARK monster has appeared in the Graveyard!!"

"The Great Cold Wave can only seal magical traps, but it cannot restrain the Dark Armed Dragon!!"

"Exterminate the Dark Magician in the graveyard and destroy the Lord of OZ!!"

"Dark Armed Dragon!! Direct Attack!!!"

"Boom—Boom—"

Two powerful streams of dark energy were unleashed from the left and right claws of the Dark Armed Dragon. As the dense black energy exploded across the battlefield, the colossal Lord of OZ suddenly knelt down and shattered into countless fragments!

Immediately afterward, another burst of dark energy blasted out and struck Kamano Daigo!

With no magic traps left, he had no choice but to accept the outcome of his LP being wiped out.

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

Daigo Kamano, LP: 800→0

The aftershocks of the simulated impact gradually dissipated.

Defeated Daigo Kamano shook his head and smiled, looking slightly frustrated: "In the end, I still couldn't get the Red-Eyes Black Dragon..."

You Che asked with some curiosity, "Why are you so obsessed with the Red-Eyes Black Dragon?"

Daigo Kamano retrieved the duel disk from his arm and smiled amicably: "It's nothing, just a promise I made to my son."

"You Che, I have lost this duel."

"These two crystal cards and the rare card are yours."

With that, Kamano Daigo stepped forward and kept the bet they had made earlier.

The entire series of Dark Lord and Raging Death Dragon, along with their accompanying spell cards, were handed over to Yu Che. However, he was more interested in the two crystal cards than these rare cards.

He has collected all seven crystal cards, one more than the competition's requirement.

Now, Yuzuru can go to the finals of the Duel City tournament as one of the top eight.

However, just as Yuche was about to insert six crystal cards into the Duel Disk to generate a projection map, countless rare card hunters surrounded him from all directions.

Kamano Daigo's expression changed drastically: "What are you guys trying to do?"

A member of the ghoul gang chuckled evilly, "It's nothing~ I was originally planning to let you go, but after seeing that OZ Master card, I changed my mind~"

Daigo Kamano frowned, instinctively shielding his deck in the Duel Disk with his hand: "You guys..."

At this moment, Lishid, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly walked over. The wide black robe and hood concealed the terrifying scars on his face. He spoke to You Che in a hoarse, low voice:

"Your opponent is me, You Che."

"I had no intention of stopping you from reaching the finals, but someone beat me to it."

"I must fight you in accordance with Lord Malik's will."

"And in this battle, I want you to wager all your crystal cards and armed dragons!"

As dusk fell, the deep red sunset sank behind the distant buildings.

Realizing that it was getting late, You Che didn't want to waste any more time. Since the only solution to the current situation was a duel, he had no choice but to accept the challenge.

“Sure, but what are you going to wager?” Youche unfolded the Duel Disk he had already retrieved and placed the Berserker Death Dragon he had just won into his deck.

Lishid's gaze turned cold, and he said, "You'll know when you win."

"duel!!!!"

Lishid, LP: 4000

Cruiser, LP: 4000

A horde of ghouls separated Yusuke and Daigo Kamano, and as the streets grew darker, two battles began simultaneously!

"Whoosh————————————"

"My first move! Draw!" With a cold expression, Lishid seized the initiative with astonishing speed and shouted, "Defense position summon! Pot Demon!"

The card was photographed, and a bizarre, muscular god appeared posing with the Pot of Greed on his head!
