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

"My attack isn't over yet, game!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Spell Removal!!"

"I need to check the face-down card on your field. If it's a spell card, destroy it immediately!!"

"Bang!"

A surge of magical energy erupted, forcibly revealing Yugi's face-down card in the back row, and that card turned out to be a trap that could very well turn the tide of battle—Magic Cylinder!

In this era, the effect of this card is: when you control a Spellcaster monster and your opponent's monster attacks, you can activate this effect to negate that attack and inflict damage on your opponent equal to that monster's ATK.

You Che's gaze sharpened.

Luckily, I checked it beforehand, otherwise with my current LP, I wouldn't have been able to withstand the damage from this card's effect.

"Because I activated another spell card, the attack power of Magic Puppet has increased by 200 again!!" Yu Che said. "Remove the two magic counters from Magic Puppet and destroy the Chaos Dark Magician!!"

The sinister laughter echoed once more. The crimson robe was lifted, and the two dark purple magic gems adorning it shattered, transforming into threads of puppet energy that tightly bound the Chaos Black Mage!

As the sound of cards shattering rang out, only one Dark Magician remained on Yugi's field, capable only of defense.

Everyone looked up at the dueling platform, their faces filled with tension.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yu Che resolutely decided to launch an attack despite the trap card—Magic Cylinder: "Enter Battle Phase!! Dark Magician Attack Dark Magician!!!"

Wang Yang subconsciously gritted his teeth.

Since You Che dared to attack like this, it means he must have a way to deal with the magic cylinder.

But right now I only have this one face-down card, so even if it's just to block one of my opponent's attacks, I have no choice but to activate it!

"Then my trap card has been triggered too!" Amidst the raging wind, Yugi shouted, "Magic Cylinder activated! Nullify the Dark Magician's attack and deal 2500 effect damage in return!!"

"boom--------------"

Colorful flashes of light burst forth from the ruptured nozzle, but were quickly blocked by a constantly rotating green wheel.

Seeing the card activated by Yusuke, Seto Kaiba couldn't help but snort and laugh, "This guy..."

"As you activated the Spell Cylinder, I activated the Spell Card—Defense Wheel!!" Yuzuriha swung the card, neutralizing all the damage from Yugi's counterattack. "This card can reduce effect damage from Trap Cards to zero!!"

"At the same time, because another magic card is activated, the attack power of the Magic Manipulation Puppet increases by 200, which is exactly higher than the Dark Magician's defense power!!"

"Magic Manipulation Doll!! Attack!!!"

Thousands of puppet threads, radiating an eerie glow, trembled once more. Under the control of the magical puppeteer, a puppet with a mournful expression leaped out and slew the king-like dark mage with a single strike!

Amidst the shifting light, fragments of the cards drifted in the raging wind.

The third confrontation between the Black Demons resulted in a victory for Youche and Hemoti.

Yuche inserts a card into the Duel Disk: "Set one card face down, end your turn!"

At the top of the Duel Tower, the howling wind seemed to intensify.

Wang Yang's long hair was constantly being blown about, and as he looked at You Che, his gaze became increasingly resolute and ardent:

"I'm very pleased that the duel has reached this level."

"However, the Dark Magician is my trump card, and he will not fall so easily!!"

"The magic card I retrieved last round using the Chaos Dark Magician was—Soul Intertwined!!"

"This round, I will use your monster as a sacrifice for the resurrection of the Dark Magician!!"

"Draw a card!! Activate the Spell Card - Spider Silk!!"

"Add the card you used from the coffin in your last turn to your hand, then activate Awaken from the coffin!!"

"Force your opponent to draw two cards, then add Dark Magician to your hand from the Graveyard!!"

"Then, activate Soul Interchange, sacrificing the Dark Mage and the magic-manipulating puppet as offerings, and summon the Dark Mage!!!"

But at that moment, a face-down card was revealed from the field, prematurely turning the monster chosen by Yugi into a tribute.

"Game, if I let you summon Dark Magician like this, then I'm afraid I'll lose!" As the card lit up, the roar of the Armed Dragon also came from the light, and Yuzuru said, "Let the battle between Dark Magicians end here! Quick-Play Spell Card activated—Disrupt Mixed Match!!"

"Send Disruptive Muscle from your hand to the Graveyard, and add Disruptive Powder from the Graveyard and Armed Dragon Raiden Lv7 from the Graveyard to your hand!!"

"After that, sacrifice the Dark Magician and Magic Manipulation Puppet on my field to summon Armed Dragon Raiden Lv7!!"

"Since all the monsters offered as sacrifices have disappeared, you will no longer be able to perform a high-level summon of the Dark Magician through Soul Exchange!!"

"roar----------------"

[Attack/Defense: 2400/1700]

"Hmph~" Yugi smirked, "Summoned another trump card? Then let this duel end in a decisive battle between Armed Dragon and Dark Magician!!"

"However, since you have summoned the advanced form of the Armed Dragon, I will retaliate with an even stronger form of the Dark Magician!!"

"Spell Card Activation - Fusion!!"

"Use Dark Magician and Destroyer Swordsman from your hand as materials!!"

"Fusion Summoning - Super Magic Swordsman Dark Paladin!!!"

The three cards were drawn together, and within the fused radiance, the mournful cry of a dragon seemed to echo. A dazzling, cold light pierced the chaos, and a dark mage warrior wielding a long blade made a dashing entrance!

As the monster appeared, Seto Kaiba's pupils suddenly contracted.

Clearly, he knew perfectly well that the monster summoned at the end of the game was the natural enemy of dragon monsters!

【Super Magic Swordsman: Dark Paladin】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2900/2400]

"Beep beep beep beep——————————"

Super Magic Swordsman Dark Paladin, Attack Power: 2900 → 3400

"The attack power of Dark Paladin, the Super Magical Swordsman, increases based on the number of Dragon-Type monsters on the field!!" King Yu said. "Since there is one Dragon-Type monster on the field, the attack power of Dark Paladin, the Super Magical Swordsman, increases by 500!!"

"According to the rules of Duel City, Fusion Summoned monsters cannot attack on their first turn after being summoned!"

"But once this card is activated, this restriction will no longer exist!!"

"Spell Card Activated - Quick Play!!"

"Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Paladin!! Attack Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv7!!!"

"Whoosh——————————————"

A dark purple sword aura flashed out, sweeping fiercely towards Youche's trump card!

With a series of booming sounds, the newly appeared armed dragon was instantly defeated!

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Cruise control, LP: 800→200

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that there's a rule that fused monsters can't attack..." Jonouchi said, staring wide-eyed as if waking from a dream.

"Baka..." Mai Peacock stared intently at the stage, "You don't even have a single Fusion Monster in your deck, how could you possibly remember something like this?"

"Huh?!" Jonouchi raised an eyebrow, about to say something, but was interrupted by Otogi Ryuji.

“We don’t have many cards left. The trump cards other than Armed Dragon require a lot of cards to summon, so it’s hard to summon them. But if we continue to use Armed Dragon, we probably won’t be able to beat the game!” Yugi Ryuji analyzed nervously.

After breaking through the opponent's control with his ace, Yuuki set up two face-down cards, ending his turn.

Although the situation was not much different from what others had said, he did not believe that Youche was without any means of dealing with it at this point.

Armed Dragon Lightning Lv10 has indeed been destroyed twice, but he still has Armed Dragon Lv10 in his deck that he previously recovered with Pot of Greed, so he still can't be careless.

Looking at the two cards he had just set up, Yugi's expression turned serious. As long as he could withstand this round of Yugi's counterattack, victory in this duel would be secured!

"My turn!! Draw a card!!"

"Whoosh—"

A silvery arc of light swept through the gale, and Yu Che slammed the card that had snatched into his hand directly onto the Duel Disk. Accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar, the Armed Dragon Raiden Lv7, which had just been defeated, was revived on the field.

"Spell Card activated—Pot of Greed!!"

"Draw two cards from your deck!!"

"Activate the Spell Card again—Live Water!!"

"This ability can only be activated when there are no monsters on my field. Special Summon 1 monster from my Graveyard in Attack Position!!"

"As a trade-off, I cannot activate any monster effects other than those summoned by this effect until the end of this turn!!"

"Come back, Armored Dragon Thunder Lv7!!!"

Clear, spring-like water poured from a pale golden pot, and the scorched earth, nourished by this holy water, returned to its original state at a visible speed. Faint golden currents flickered in the water. Once all the water in the pot had been poured out, the reborn armed dragon once again stood before the enemy.

【Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv7】

【Seven Stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2800/1000]

"Activate the effect of Armed Dragon Lightning Lv7!!" Yu Che shouted. "Discard 1 monster card from your hand, send it to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 Armed Dragon monster of Level 10 or lower from your hand or Deck!!"

"Although Armed Dragon Thunder Lv10 can no longer be summoned, my deck still contains another form of the strongest Armed Dragon!!"

"Send Disruptive Powder from your hand to the graveyard, come on, Armed Dragon Lv10!!!"

"roar----------------"

In order to evolve to its highest form, Armed Dragon Raiden Lv7 had no choice but to dissipate the lightning all over its body. The powerful golden current spread out in all directions, but as it dissipated, it stirred up an even more violent storm!
