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

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Reverse Summoning, Evil Ninja!"

In the thick fog, a white-clad ninja wielding a silver dagger quietly appeared. Facing the bloodthirsty orcs whose attack power far surpassed his own, there was no fear in his eyes, only killing intent!

[Evil and cruel]

[Two stars]

[Dark Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 400/800]

Seto Kaiba had watched Yuzuriha's duel video and knew that this monster's ability was simply to allow the controller to draw a card when it was in attack position and being attacked.

During its own turn, this monster is no different from a mere mortal without any special abilities.

Is Yu Che planning to launch a counterattack with this monster that only has 400 attack power?

Seto Kaiba just found it laughable.

But the next second, as a card was swung out of Yuzuru's hand, Seto Kaiba's expression changed instantly.

"Activate the Spell Card - Forced Transfer!" Yu Che announced loudly. "Both duelists choose one monster from their field, and then control of those two monsters is exchanged!"

"We each have only one monster on our field, so under the effect of this card, the Bloodthirsty Beastman will belong to me, and the Evil Ninja will be under your control!"

"What?!" Seto Kaiba exclaimed angrily, "They actually traded my Blood Demon Beastman for such trash!"

Under the rhythmic glow of magic, the evil ninja and the bloodthirsty orc walked towards their respective battlefields, switching sides.

"Attack signal summon—Magic Hand!" Yu Che continued to slap down cards, saying, "Entering the battle phase directly! Bloodthirsty Beastman, attack the Evil Ninja!"

[Magic Hand]

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 800/1600]

A colorful toy box appeared from the dazzling light, and before anyone could see its values, the Bloodthirsty Orc roared and prepared to charge.

Standing below the stage, Jonouchi, a novice duelist, couldn't help but exclaim, "What a brilliant tactic! First, he trades a low-attack monster with the opponent's high-attack monster, and then launches an attack. It seems Kaiba is going to lose!"

“No, it’s not that simple within the castle,” King said calmly. “Kaiba still has face-down cards on his field; he won’t let Yugi succeed so easily.”

Sure enough, just as Yusuke was about to launch an attack, Seto Kaiba flipped up his face-down card and shouted, "Trying to hurt me with my card? You're dreaming!"

"The instant you enter the battle phase, I activate the trap card—Switch!"

"Move the evil ninja to the adjacent monster area, and your attack will miss!"

In the DM era, monster attacks could generally be considered as attacks launched towards a specific area, so it was common for attacks to miss due to certain effects.

But there was still one monster on the field, and although Magician only had 800 attack power, he still chose to let it attack: "Then let my other monster attack the Ninja! Go! Magician!"

"Hahahaha!" Seto Kaiba burst into laughter. "What a ridiculous tactic! Yuzuriha!"

"Have you even forgotten the effects of your own monster?!"

"When the evil ninja is in attack position and is under attack, I can draw one card from my deck!"

"Although you will deal 400 combat damage to me, next turn, the Magic Hand in attack position will become my breakthrough point to deal massive damage to you!"

"Your foolish attack has truly disappointed me!"

After saying that, Seto Kaiba used his evil ninja ability to draw a card from his deck.

Seeing this, Yu Che smiled and said, "No, Kaiba, this attack is not funny, because you will soon pay the price for your card draw!"

"What?!" Seto Kaiba was taken aback.

You Che announced loudly, "The Magic Hand effect is activated!"

"This card can only be activated once while it is face-up on the field. When your opponent adds a card from their deck to their hand by means other than drawing a card, send those cards to the graveyard and inflict 800 Life Points damage to your opponent!"

"Under the effect of this card, you will not only have to discard the card you drew through the Evil Ninja, but you will also have to suffer additional effect damage!"

"Finally, combined with the combat damage inflicted on you, your LP will be reduced by 1200 points!"

Chapter 18: A Powerful Double Strike! The Stealth Warrior's Revenge!

"Boom!!!!"

"Beep beep beep beep————"

Seto Kaiba, LP: 2000→800

Just as Seto Kaiba was triumphantly drawing cards from his deck, Magic Hand suddenly activated its effect, detonating the cards in his hand! At the same time, the evil ninja in attack position was also destroyed!

Two completely different attacks combined, and with just one strike, they inflicted a lot of damage on Seto Kaiba!

"Tsk! Damn it..." Seto Kaiba gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It's such a disgusting trick!"

You Che simply smiled faintly: "Place two cards face down, end the turn."

"Hmph!" Seto Kaiba suddenly sneered and said, "But if we don't do it this way, the duel will be completely meaningless."

"Although it dealt me ​​over a thousand damage, your Magic Hand only has an attack power of 800. This weak monster has become the reason for your defeat!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Attack is called, vengeful stealth warrior!"

"Drink it!"

A furious roar filled with intense resentment echoed from the darkness, and an evil warrior wielding a golden greatsword slowly appeared with a ferocious expression!

The Stealth Warrior of Vengeance

【Six Star】

[Dark Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2000/1600]

Upon seeing the monster, You Che was momentarily stunned.

He vaguely remembered this card. In the OCG, it was just a vanilla monster, but in the original work, it was an effect monster with special abilities.

As long as there are monsters destroyed in battle in the graveyard, the Vengeful Stealth Warrior will gain 400 attack power.

but……

Since the evil ninja is his own monster, even if it is destroyed, it will enter his own graveyard. Why would Seto Kaiba summon this monster when he cannot activate its special effect?

"Ha!" Seto Kaiba sneered, "The counterattack will begin with my own monster!"

"Battle! Vengeful stealth warriors! Attack the bloodthirsty orcs!"

"Roar!!!!!"

The two powerful monsters simultaneously unleashed deafening battle roars. The "Revengeful Stealth Warrior" had slightly higher attack power than the "Bloody Beastman," so the "Bloody Beastman" was destined to be destroyed in the end.

However, in order to stop Seto Kaiba's attack, and to prevent the "Bloody Beastman" from increasing the "Revengeful Stealth Warrior's" attack power after its death, Yuzuru decided to use the pre-prepared face-down card:

"Trap Card activated - Reinforcements!"

"Increase the Bloodthirsty Orcs' attack power by 500 until the end of this round!"

"roar--------"

The Bloodthirsty Orc roared, its size rapidly increasing as its axe was engulfed in flames!

Bloodthirsty Orc, Attack Power: 1900 → 2400

"A pointless resistance!" Seto Kaiba flipped up his face-down card in the back row. "Spell Card - Shrink! Halve the attack power of the Blood Demon Beast!"

With the effect of yet another magic card, the once towering, bloodthirsty orc suddenly became incredibly small, standing in the shadow of that golden greatsword, making all its exaggerated muscles seem meaningless.

Bloodthirsty Orc, Attack Power: 2400 → 1200

You Che frowned slightly.

The contraction of this era, doesn't it mean that the original attack power has been halved?

"Boom!!!!"

The sound of a card shattering rang out, and the Bloodthirsty Orc was slain with a single sword strike!

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

Cruise control, LP: 2000→1200

"Hehehe, it's not over yet, Yuzuru!" Seto Kaiba sneered, "Because the Blood Demon Beastman was destroyed in the battle and entered my graveyard, the Vengeful Stealth Warrior can absorb its resentment and increase its attack power by 20%!"

The vengeful stealth warrior, attack power: 2000 → 2400

"Whoosh—"

Seto Kaiba swung his powerful arm and shouted, "Activate the Magic Card again—Double Attack!"

"Discard one monster card from your hand, then target one monster on your field with a lower Level than the discarded monster. That monster can attack twice this turn!"

"What?!" Wang Yang and Jonouchi were both stunned when they saw the card.

They thought that Yuzuru had gained the upper hand with his brilliant combos, but it was clear that Seto Kaiba's offensive was even more ferocious than they had imagined!

This combo was clearly aimed at a "one-shot kill"!

This guy actually plans to defeat Youche in one round!

"You're already trembling like this before the Blue-Eyes White Dragon has even made its appearance!" Seto Kaiba shouted. "It seems that Armored Dragon is just a waste and a waste of your time!"

"Discard Diamond Dragon from your hand! The vengeful Stealth Warrior attacks Magic Hand!"

Let's end this unequal duel!

"Double kill!!"

"Whoosh——————————"

The greatsword, wreathed in dark, undead energy, slashed down at the weak "magic hand"!

This 2400-damage attack is enough to wipe out the remaining LP of the game!
