"Enter battle phase!!" You Che shouted loudly, "Dark Knight Gaia! Launch direct attack!!"

Like a powerful gust of wind, Dark Knight Gaia charged forward with his spear, but at the same time, Yugi revealed his last face-down card and shouted, "The instant you attack, I activate the magic card—Monster Resurrection!!"

"Special Summon Dark Magician from the Graveyard!!"

"You Che, let this duel become a battle between the Dark Demons!!"

"Dark Magician!! Defeat!! Dark Knight Gaia!!!"

Chapter 199 Fierce Battle Between the Dark Demons

In an instant, the four gods who had ruled the battlefield vanished into nothingness. Under the scattered divine light, Youche pointed at Wang Yang and launched a direct attack!

The monster Dark Knight Gaia, which sacrificed two God Cards, Sleeping Giant Gudu and Ra Winged Dragon, swept towards King Gaia like a dark whirlwind.

Just as his spear was about to fall, a beam of holy light burst forth from the ground. It was the Dark Mage, carrying a staff, returning from the graveyard. Seeing the enemy's attack approaching, the awakened Dark Mage suddenly opened his eyes, pointed his staff forward, and shattered the Dark Knight Gaia completely!

Dark Magician

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Cruise control, LP: 1800→1600

Since Duel City does not have an attack rollback rule, when the opponent summons a monster during a direct attack, the attack will directly target that monster.

As Dark Knight Gaia shattered, Yuche's LP also decreased slightly.

For a moment, only two solitary mages remained atop the once majestic Duel Tower—one clad in a dark blue robe, his eyes revealing composure and contemplation; the other, dressed in bright red with a full head of white hair, his eyes radiating hostility and aggression.

Below the dueling platform, the shocked crowd stared blankly at the scene.

"What?! All four God Cards have been defeated?!"

"Now, only the Dark Mage remains of the game and the game itself..."

"So, this battle has turned into a confrontation between dark mages?"

"In that case, Yugi is clearly at a great disadvantage, since he used Dark Magician from the very beginning of the duel!"

However, Seto Kaiba disagreed with this view; beneath his slightly cynical smile lay anticipation for what was to come.

"Dark magic, to put it simply, is the combination of monsters and magical traps."

"Yuche, which always uses Armed Dragon as its trump card, does indeed often rely on the monster's own abilities as its core."

"However, since he can use the Disruption System so skillfully, it means he has the same ability to control Dark Magic."

"Wait a minute!" Jonouchi exclaimed. "Why didn't the game just use Monster Resurrection to revive Obelisk the Tormentor? The God Card is clearly stronger than the Dark Magician!"

"Stop talking nonsense and just watch quietly, you mediocre guy!" Seto Kaiba sneered. "The revived God Card can only last for one turn. After blocking the attack of Dark Knight Gaia, Yuzuriha still has 100 LP left."

"But after that, there are no main characters available in the game. Do you, a mediocre talent, want to fly onto the field and become his monster?"

"Tsk!!" Jonouchi was quite annoyed by the choking, but Seto Kaiba's words made sense. He had only estimated the damage, which was why he asked the question. Since the resurrection god could not directly defeat Yuzuriha, it was obviously more important to summon the Dark Magician.

After obtaining the Sleeping Giant Gudu, the white-haired black mage under Youche's command, Hemoti, also fully recovered from the severe injuries caused by the divine punishment.

This was his second time facing Mahathir.

Although he did not know the specific bond between Mahad and the Pharaoh, he knew very well that his opponent was named "Mahad," the supreme legendary dark mage in the elven world!

Last time, he had just fought the Dark Mage when he was sacrificed by the underground duelist Pandora.

This time, however, his duelist is now Youche, and he's going to go all out!

Youche and the card spirit Hermon exchanged a glance. After confirming their tactics through telepathic communication, Youche resolutely shouted, "Dark Magician!! Attack the Dark Magician!!!"

"Drink up!"

A dark red afterimage flashed by, and with her white hair fluttering, Hermoti leaped high into the air, unleashing an explosive energy ball from above!

Wang Yang's gaze sharpened. He hadn't expected Yu Che to choose a suicidal strategy under these circumstances. Without any face-down cards, he could only rely on his own cards.

"Whoosh—"

Faced with the enemy's attack, the arrogant Mahad raised his hand and swept it out. The moment his staff was swung, a burst of energy shot out, colliding with the enemy's attack!

"boom!!!!!!!!!!"

A violent but muffled explosion rang out, and two streams of dark magic energy stirred up an unusual impact. Amidst the surging energy, Hermoti and Mahad vanished as afterimages.

Both cards shattered simultaneously, ending the first round of the contest in a draw.

"Activate the Spell Card - Monster Recycling!" After the Battle Phase, Yuzuriha announced, "With this card, I will replenish my hand to five cards again!!"

"Due to the effect of time travel, I haven't performed a normal summon yet in this new turn. I'm summoning in defense position—Seal Master Akiharu!"

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

【Sealing Master: Mingqing】

Monster Recycling?

So that's the card. No wonder it was saved for this time.

As Wang Yang drew cards from his deck, he pondered silently.

Clearly, Yuzuru chose to let the two monsters perish together in order to preserve the Dark Magician in the graveyard.

The dark mages in the graveyard can not only be resurrected through various means, but may also appear as traps.

Wang Yang's lips curled up slightly.

You Che, I've already guessed part of what you're thinking.

Even if there really is a trap, I can step on it and get through it!

"My turn! Draw!" said King Yu. "I activate the Spell Card - Angel's Charity, draw three cards from my deck, and then discard two!"

"Since the cotton ball has been added to my hand, I can Special Summon it!!"

A clear light shone, and a pure and adorable plush angel appeared with a smile.

Cotton balls

Has a normal summon already been performed?!

Yugi immediately seized the opportunity, flipped up his face-down card and shouted, "Yugi, as you summon, I activate the Trap Card—Dark Demon Resurrection Coffin!!"

"When your opponent successfully summons a monster, send that monster and one monster you control to the Graveyard, and Special Summon—Dark Magician!!!"

"Bang!"

A heavy, dark gold coffin appeared out of thin air, the gems on its lid emitting a dark purple light, swallowing Yugi and the two monsters on the field!

Immediately afterwards, a "creak" was heard, and the white-haired black mage Hermoti was resurrected from the coffin and slowly opened his eyes.

"It's actually the Coffin of the Dark Demon's Resurrection?!" Jonouchi exclaimed. "What a waste of the game's superior summoning!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yang's smug laughter rang out: "Yusho, from the moment you caused two Dark Mages to perish together and set your cards face down, I knew you were very likely to activate this card!!"

"Therefore, the Tribute Summoning of Tongue Twister is merely a trap. When this Tribute Summoned monster is sent to the Graveyard, it is instead banished from the Duel, and I can draw two cards from my Deck!!!"

“Shuashua——————————————”

The Duel Disk automatically dispensed two cards, adding them to Yugi's hand. Combined with the Ten Divine Mirrors that sent Osiris the Sky Dragon to the graveyard in the previous turn, Yugi's hand was now quite full.

You Che looked at the demonic monster that had vanished into the rift with some surprise. He had never expected that it would be such a strange monster.

"Then, my counterattack begins! Yugi!" King Yugi proclaimed. "Spell Card activated—Silent Dead!"

"Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from the Graveyard in Defense Position. Monsters summoned in this way cannot attack!!"

"I want to resurrect the Dark Magician too!!"

"Next, I activate the spell card—Death Magic Box!!" Yugi revealed a spell card and said, "I'm transferring control of my Dark Magician to you, and I'll destroy the Dark Magician on your field!!"

The dark mage resurrected from the silent dead cannot attack, so even if control is gained, it is still more of a loss than a gain.

Rather than passively accepting a useless monster that could very well become a trap, Yuzuru decides to take the initiative and destroy the monster that is the King!

"Whoosh————————————"

The card was flipped open, and Yu Che retaliated: "Chain Spell Card - Thousand Knives!!"

"If I have a Dark Magician on my field, destroy one monster on my opponent's field!!"

"Yugi, as long as your monster is destroyed first, my Dark Magician will not be affected by the Box of Death!!"

"Hmph~" Wang Yang laughed smugly, "Then let's take a look at this card, Yu Che!"

"You used this card to set a trap for me before, and now I'm going to use it to retaliate!"
