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

Golden lightning descended from the sky, blasting that incredibly disgusting magic card into pieces.

At this moment, the Armored Dragon's attack power increased again, reaching an astonishing six thousand points!

"Damn it! Malik is too cunning!" Jonouchi said indignantly. "With him doing this, Yuzuriha won't dare to attack at all!"

“Yes,” Honda added, “if one of the cards turns out to be a nasty trap, then the Wandering Card Spirit will be finished…”

“Although Armed Dragon’s attack power can destroy all other cards on the field once it reaches 10,000, it’s still…” Ryuji Otogi clenched his fists tightly, “…reaching that level is just too difficult…”

Keihei Kaiba couldn't help but look at Seto Kaiba beside him: "Brother! This is completely underhanded; let's end this duel!!"

However, Seto Kaiba did not respond, but simply gazed silently at the battlefield.

At this moment, Malik was still smiling smugly.

Perhaps in the last round, he completely benefited from his underhanded tactics, but this round is different. The card he set down is a trap card - Destruction Healing, which can destroy one monster on your field and restore LP equal to its attack power.

With this card, even if Yuzuru dares to attack, he can sacrifice Masked Beast Death Guardian to recover a large amount of LP while avoiding the attack.

Looking at the anxious crowd, Malik's smile grew even more arrogant and excited.

He knew exactly what cards were left in his deck, and there was a high chance he would get a resurrection card next turn!

If the Winged Dragon of Ra reappears in the graveyard, he can crush the Wanderer and his minions of sprites!

"My turn, draw a card!!" Yu Che shouted, "Activate the effect of the Continuous Spell Card - Armed Dragon's Thunder, increasing the ATK of Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv10 to 7000!!"

Dark Marik laughed confidently, looking like he had victory in the bag: "Oh? You want to activate Armed Dragon's strongest effect and destroy all the cards on the field?"

"But it seems you don't have the time, Youche~"

"I can tell you, next turn, I'll draw a card that can revive the Winged Dragon of Ra!!"

"By then, you won't need to guess what my face-down cards are anymore. You'll only need to consider one question: will you die first, or will your card spirit die first?!"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!!"

Chapter 184 Alternating Desperate Situation

Armed Dragon Lightning Lv10 also has a most powerful ultimate ability: when this card's ATK reaches 10,000 or more, it can destroy all other cards on the field once per turn!

If this effect can be successfully activated, then Yuche can ignore Malik's face-down card and deliver a fatal blow.

but……

It will take at least another turn for the Armed Dragon to activate that effect.

At this moment, the guy who was grinning sinisterly had issued his final ultimatum.

If Yugi cannot end the duel this turn, then Malik will revive Ra Winged Dragon once more!

"Don't be fooled by him! Yuzuri!" Jonouchi, who had reached his limit with Malik, shouted. "That guy still has several cards in his deck; there's no way he could draw a card with revival abilities all at once!"

“No, even if he can’t draw that card directly, Malik should have a way to add it to his hand,” Seto Kaiba suddenly said, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness.

The scene that Youche is facing now is the same as the one he faced before. It was the scene of his first duel with Youche. At that time, Youche, who had less than ten cards left in his deck, calmly declared his victory. The reason that made him so confident was his accurate grasp of the remaining cards in his deck.

Although given Malik's personality, he might very well be bluffing, Yu Che simply couldn't afford to gamble.

With a solemn expression, You Che closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before suddenly opening them and playing a card: "Spell Card Activation - Monster Recycle! Return all cards on my field and in my hand to the deck, then draw five more cards!!"

"What?!" Otogi Ryuji was stunned. "We finally raised Armed Dragon's attack power to such a high level, and now we're just going to recycle it like this?"

“There was no way,” Wang Yang explained. “Yuche probably wanted to activate the Armed Dragon effect, but what Malik said and the state of his deck left Yuche with no choice.”

“But this is good, at least Yuche has replenished a lot of his hand.” Mai said nervously. “If I remember correctly, Yuche’s deck should have some monsters that don’t have spirit host. He probably wants to use those cards to defeat Malik, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, You Che, having drawn his cards again, shouted loudly:

"Activate the Magic Card - Magic Hammer!"

"Return this card and the two cards in your hand to your deck, then draw three cards!!"

"Activate the angels' charity!!"

"Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two cards from your hand!!"

"Next up is this card—Monster Resurrection!!"

"Special Summon Homunculus - Psychic Shocker from the Graveyard!!!"

The silver Anka Cross burst forth from the ground, and the previously defeated androids returned to the battlefield.

Since the Dark Rebirth card has been destroyed, Yuzuru can now use this card without any worries.

Amidst the shattered earth, a rusty android crawled out with a low growl. Bathed in holy light, the rust rapidly faded, giving it a new lease on life!

【Artificial Human - Telekinetic Power Shocker】

【Six Star】

[Dark Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2400/1500]

When the monster appeared, the spectators were stunned at first, and then they all showed joyful smiles.

Android Telekinesis is a monster capable of locking down all Trap Cards on the field!!

Its appearance directly thwarted Malik's scheme using the Dark Duel!

No matter what card Malik sets next, any trap card will be destroyed. Even if Malik destroys the android, it doesn't matter, because it's just an ordinary monster card with no life inside!

"Sizzle—Boom—"

A crimson laser swept across the battlefield, and the destructive healing potion that Malik had placed in the previous round was blasted into fragments with a shattering sound.

"Tsk!" Malik's expression was somewhat displeased. He had originally intended to use this card to recover his Life Points and then unleash the power of Ra's Winged Dragon, but now that he had no means of recovery, even if he revived the God Card, it would be completely meaningless. "Trying to use this method to forcibly delay time?"

"But when it's my turn, I can easily crush your disgusting scrap metal with Masked Beast - Death Guardian!!"

Yu Che ignored him and continued playing cards, saying, "Spell Card activated—Level Tuner! Force your opponent to draw two cards, and Special Summon 1 Level-5 monster from my Graveyard without conditions!!"

"What?!" Malik's expression changed drastically. "It's...that card?! You still have that card?!"

The moment they saw the level adjustment, most of the spectators immediately realized what monster Yu Che was going to revive!

That was the powerful dragon race capable of achieving a complete blockade with the android psychic—the Black Flame Dragon of Horus!

“Shuashua——————————————”

Two cards flew out of the Duel Disk one after another. Malik held the cards that popped out and gripped the Millennium Staff tightly in his hand.

Whether it's the android or the Black Flame Dragon of Horus, their attack power is below that of the Masked Beast Death Guardian, so I can indeed break this blockade by launching an attack.

but……

Since Youche acted this way, it's impossible that he didn't consider the combat power of the Masked Beast - Death Guardian!

With all spell and trap cards sealed, it's impossible for me to revive Ra's Winged Dragon!!

That guy Youche, he actually had this kind of plan in mind!!

"Rumble rumble rumble ——————————————"

Hellfire, a tapestry of black and red, erupted from the shattered ground! As it surged forth, it coalesced into a dark purple demonic flame!

A dazzling, silver-red dragon spread its wings amidst the demonic flames. The moment it appeared, another seal descended from the sky, blocking all of the opponent's magic!

Horus' Black Flame Dragon Lv8

[Eight Stars]

[Fire Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/1800]

"Is it Horus..." Seto Kaiba's eyes lit up slightly. When he saw the monster card again, he suddenly felt a strange sense of emotion.

Looking at the remaining cards in his hand, Youche quickly pondered.

Horus and the androids' attack power is insufficient to defeat Masked Beast Death Guardian, but with the help of other cards, blocking Malik's next attack should not be difficult.

Due to the recent rank adjustment, Malik, forced to draw cards, is one step closer to destruction. As long as this blockade is maintained as much as possible, he will be defeated within three rounds because he has run out of cards!

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

Looking at the two monsters that had sealed away his trap and spell cards respectively, Malik, whose deck only had two cards left, sneered viciously:

"You Che, are you planning to drag me down like this?"

"Let's see if you wear me down first, or if I'll destroy you with the God Card first!!"

"My turn! Draw a card!!"

"Enter the battle phase immediately!!"

"Masked Beast - Death Guardian attacks Horus' Black Flame Dragon!!"

"Bang!"

Malik roared, and the ferocious Masked Monster immediately shot out three tentacles, which entangled the monsters on the field!

But at the same time, Yuzuru revealed the face-down card he had set up earlier and announced, "The instant you attack, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card - Command Silencer!!"

"You can only activate this effect when your opponent declares an attack. Negate that attack, and your opponent draws one card from their Deck!!"

"Buzz————————————————"

In an instant, the masked monster's attack was neutralized, and its intertwined tentacles broke apart in the sound waves.

With another card added to his hand, Malik's deck suddenly had zero cards left.

Seeing this, the onlookers were so excited they almost wanted to cheer.

Malik has entered the battle phase but has failed to defeat the wandering monster. In the next main phase, he is completely helpless as he cannot activate any magic traps!

Yuzuriha only needs to end his turn immediately after drawing cards, and Malik will lose because his deck is exhausted!

Ultimately, the seeds of the surviving treasure card and the seeds of the regenerating slime's actions exploded!

The duel ended in victory for Youche, and none of his card sprites were harmed!

However, just as everyone was celebrating, Dark Malik suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahahahaha!!"

"What are you laughing at!" Jonouchi, who had been holding back all along, finally had a chance to taunt. "Are you going crazy because you're about to lose the duel?"
