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

Upon seeing the monster, Youche was stunned.

This guy isn't using a "trap card deck"?!

Could it be because I possess Horus the Black Dragon and the Homunculus Psychic Shocker that I specifically changed my deck?

Lishid's face was as cold as ice. He continued to wave cards, saying, "Activate the Spell Card - Magic Hammer! Shuffle this card and the rest of your hand into the deck! Then draw the same number of cards!"

The Magic Hammer is a rare and valuable card in this era. Once successfully released, it returns to the deck and can be used again the next time it is drawn.

However, due to the card's rarity, even during the DM era when Pot of Greed and Angel's Charity were commonplace, the Magic Hammer was still an extremely rare and valuable card.

“Swish, swish, swish————————”

Lishid drew his card and continued, "Activate the Magic Hammer again! Draw a card! Then activate the effect of the Pot Demon!"

"Discard a Pot of Greed!"

"Draw three cards!!"

Upon seeing this, You Che's expression immediately changed.

Is this guy using a knock-off Exodia deck?!

If that's really the case, with this card-drawing efficiency, Lishid will be able to collect all five pieces of flesh and achieve a special victory very soon!

However, Lishid's next move dispelled his concerns:

"Activate the Spell Card again—Infinite Handbook!"

"As long as this card is face-up on the field, neither player has any hand restrictions!"

"Then activate the Spell Card - Double Summon!"

"Use the pot demon as a sacrifice!"

"Superior Summoning! Fiery Mukamka!"

The card was snapped, and a spherical, dragon-headed rock monster with a completely crimson body appeared on the battlefield!

【The Passionate Mukamka】

【Five stars】

[Earth/Rock type]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/600]

"Due to the effect of the exhilarating Mukamka!"

"For every card I have in my hand, its attack power increases by 400!"

"I now have six cards in my hand!"

"Therefore, the attack power of the excited Mukamka increases by 2400!!"

"Roar!!!!"

With a roar of excitement, Mukamka's body began to swell rapidly, and as flames engulfed its entire body, it grew to twice its original size!

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

The Fierce Mukamka, Attack Power: 1200 → 3600

Is it this monster?

Yuzuru had used this card before, but that was back in the Duel Kingdom era. Due to later rule changes, this monster required a tribute to be Tribute Summoned, so he stopped putting this card in his deck.

After completing a somewhat odd-looking combo, Lishid ended his turn.

Chapter 123 The Immortal Sand Monster

Lishid's first turn looked a bit odd, but in this era, it was already considered a very strong starting hand.

With six cards remaining in his hand, he played a Continuous Spell Card and summoned a monster with 3600 ATK on the field.

This opening alone is enough to suppress the vast majority of duelists.

However, for Youche, Lishid's plan was nothing but a paper tiger.

Although the furious Mukamka's attack power was terrifying, Lishid did not set up any magical traps for defense.

This means that he can easily dismantle the monster.

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Whoosh——————————"

Youche draws a card and then quickly launches an attack:

"Activate the Spell Card - Angel's Blessing!"

Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two!

"Since Disruption Magic was sent to the graveyard, I can add Disruption Yellow, Disruption Green, and Disruption Black from my deck to my hand!!"

A bright red curtain was drawn, and three disruptive monsters made a grand entrance from a bamboo basket like magicians, scattering colorful paper strips in all directions and shining dazzling lights on them.

"And then there's this card—Fusion!!"

"Use the three Disruptor Monsters in your hand as material!!"

"Fusion Summon - Disruptor King!!!"

A card is swiped across the Duel Disk and knocked down, sending three Disruptor Monsters to the Graveyard, while a deep roar emanates from the colorful light!

A pale white behemoth draped in a bright pink cloak made its entrance in a strange pose, turning its two antennae-like eyes to focus its gaze on the ugly rock fire toad opposite it!

[Disruptor King]

【Six Star】

[Light Attribute/Beast Race]

[Attack/Defense: 0/3000]

The moment the Disruptor King descended, three bright red X's appeared from Lishid's field, sealing off his three monster zones!

Seeing this, Lishid was secretly startled.

The King of Disruption?!

This monster doesn't seem to be mentioned in the intelligence reports...

It has defensive capabilities on par with Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack power, and can also seal the opponent's summoning area.

As the strongest rare card hunter in the Ghoul Gang, Lishid knew very well that this card had never appeared on the market before.

He knew a little about the Card Spirits, and although he couldn't see them, he was pretty sure that the three Disruptive Monsters were cards with spirits residing in them.

Lishid's gaze turned slightly cold, and his expression became even more cautious.

"You want to summon this kind of monster for defense?" Lishid said coldly. "But with this monster's defensive capabilities, it's still too much of a strain to stop the furious Mukamka."

The sky grew increasingly dark.

You Che, who was eager to participate in the finals, was secretly anxious. He did not want to waste too much time here, lest his spot in the top eight be taken away by someone else.

But when he looked at the rare card hunter, Lishid, draped in a wide black robe, Yu Che's somewhat anxious heart gradually calmed down.

In the original story, Rishid was also one of the top eight contestants, and Malik was able to participate in the Duel City finals through him.

Since Lishid is here, it seems there's no need for me to worry about not making it into the quarterfinals.

Conversely, if Rishid is defeated, Rishid's position in the anime storyline will be replaced by Rishid himself.

"call……"

You Che let out a soft breath and began to re-examine the tactics he had just devised.

Now, his hand contains Disruptive Mandala and Disruptive Triangle Hurricane.

In his haste, he had planned to revive three Disruptors with Disruptor Mandala in this round, and then use Disruptor Triangle Hurricane to finish off the Furious Mukamka.

However, after calming down, he realized that this was not a good idea.

Because he has no way to damage Lishid this turn, if he rashly plays this combo, not only will he fail to reduce Lishid's LP, but he may also be able to turn the tide next turn with Lishid holding six cards in his hand.

"Set three cards face down, end your turn!"

Ultimately, You Che decided to wait and see.

"Is that all? You rascal," Lishid said coldly. "Then it's my turn to attack!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Inner defense indicates that a monster has been summoned!"

"Entering battle phase!!"

"Furious Mukamka! Attack the King of Disruption!!"

After drawing a card and summoning a monster, Rishid still has six cards in his hand, so the attack power of Furious Mukamka remains unchanged.

"call------------"

Two plumes of white smoke billowed from the nostrils of the rock fire toad. It opened its massive mouth, inhaling the surrounding storm into its belly, and then unleashed a torrent of flames at the Disruptive King!

Seeing this, Yu Che decisively flipped the face-down card and shouted, "The instant you launch your attack, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card - Fusion Deactivation!"

"Return Disruptor King to the Extra Deck, and Special Summon Disruptor Yellow, Disruptor Green, and Disruptor Black from the Graveyard!!"

"Since the attacked monster has disappeared, the Furious Mukamka Attack is nullified!!!"

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!"

The explosive flames burst open in front of Youche, but a second before being attacked, the Disruption King disintegrated into three different colored beams of light, avoiding the attack.

The three disruptive monsters—yellow, green, and black—jumped onto the battlefield, their expressions arrogant and smug.

"Did you dodge it..." Lishid's expression remained unchanged, his voice still hoarse and cold, "However, after the Disruption King disappears, my monster zone will no longer be restricted."

"In that case..."

"Then I can launch an even more powerful attack on you!"

"Spell Card activated—Black Hole! Destroy all monsters on the field!"
