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

"I want to resurrect Balrog, whom you just defeated!!!"

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

The flames bursting forth from hell shattered both of Seto Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragons on the field. A demon awakened from the graveyard lashed out with a whip made of flames, its eyes, radiating demonic light, fixed intently on Seto Kaiba.

【Barulok】

【Four stars】

[Fire Attribute/Demon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1000/1000]

"What?!" Seto Kaiba's expression changed drastically.

There are actually such powerful magic cards?!

Did those disgusting demon monsters just come back to life like that?

"It's not over yet, Kaiba!" Ameruda continued, "Spell Card activated—Fire Whip!!"

"Special Summon the monster destroyed this turn to my field. All monsters Special Summoned by this effect are considered FIRE monsters!!"

"Your two blue-eyed white dragons are now mine!!"

"Due to Balrog's effect, this card's ATK increases by the number of FIRE monsters on the field. Combined with the effect of Orichalcos Barrier, its final ATK is 3000!!"

"But because of the negative effects of Eagle Claw Dragon Flame, I cannot enter the battle phase this turn, so you have one last turn, Kaiba."

"Heh, Seto Kaiba, you're about to be dealt a fatal blow by the monster you trust most. That's not a pleasant feeling, is it?"

"A duelist with such immense mental strength as yours is perfectly suited to be a sacrifice to the new god, and your blood will atone for all your past sins!!"

In an instant, three monsters appeared on Ameruda's field. Two blue-eyed white dragons with flames all over their bodies let out low roars. Affected by the Orichalcos barrier, their attack power increased, and a dark green six-pointed star pattern was engraved on their foreheads.

Seto Kaiba, who already had one foot in hell, stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before him.

hateful……

Blue-Eyes Dragon has been destroyed, and the God Cards are no longer in my possession...

Is there absolutely no way to bring someone back to life?

I absolutely cannot admit to something like this!!

Seto Kaiba gritted his teeth and placed his hand on the deck. Just then, a strange light shone and drew his soul into it.

Suddenly, he seemed to have entered a completely unknown new world. He found himself in a vast, ancient palace, in the center of which stood three giant crystal dragon statues!

Seemingly drawn by some force, Seto Kaiba flew to one of the giant dragon statues, only to find a sharp sword stuck in its throat!

"What's going on?! Do I have to pull out the sword...?" Seto Kaiba was somewhat bewildered, and at the same time, influenced by some unknown factor, he subconsciously blurted out the dragon's name and used all his strength to pull out the sharp sword that was stuck in the dragon's throat, "Critius!!"

"Whoosh——————————————————"

The moment he drew his sword, a dazzling light enveloped Seto Kaiba once again, and in his daze, he found himself back in the battle with Ameruda.

At that moment, he had already drawn the card he was about to draw. Looking down, he saw that it was a card with only an image and no text. The image printed on it was the very dragon he had just saved!

"The key to our survival lies in this card!!" Seto Kaiba shouted from the brink of despair. "Go! Fang of Critius!!"

"With this card's special ability, I can summon a Fusion Monster that combines with the Trap Card - Deck Destruction Virus!!"

"Death Virus Dragon!!!"

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

【Death Virus Dragon】

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1900/1500]

"Activate the effect of Death Virus Dragon to destroy all monsters on the field with an ATK of 1500 or higher!!" Seto Kaiba roared triumphantly. "After destroying your Demon and my two Blue-Eyes monsters, I'll launch a direct attack!!"

"I have won this duel, Ameruda!!"

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

The terrifying virus splashed outwards, rapidly corroding the three monsters on Ameruda's field like strong acid. Then, the ferocious roaring Death Virus Dragon unleashed a dragon flame, mercilessly blasting towards the enemy!

Faced with this sudden reversal, Ameruda, who had no chance of winning, could only try to bring the battle to a draw. He flipped up a face-down card and shouted back, "Quick-Play Spell Card - Madness Infection!!"

"Half of the damage taken from the monster battle will be transferred to the opponent!!"

"Seto Kaiba, you just wait and see, I will definitely avenge myself on you!!"

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

As the Death Virus Dragon launched its attack, a shockwave reflected back and struck Seto Kaiba himself.

Both sides' LPs were simultaneously cleared, and under the intense, blinding light, Ameluda seized the opportunity to escape.

Seto Kaiba didn't give chase, because there were more important things waiting for him. He had to save his younger brother, Keihei Kaiba, and Yuzuriha and the others, who were likely also surrounded by enemies.

"Boom—Boom—"

A burst of darkness and a bolt of lightning—two dragon breaths composed of different elements—blasted Antid's two bone kings to smithereens.

Since Armed Dragon Thunder Lv7's effect has already been activated once this turn, Yuzuru can only wait until the next turn to evolve it into its highest form.

By placing two face-down cards, the player completed a counterattack and ended the turn.

At this moment, Antid's immortality formation has been completely broken, and without Lady White Bone, the skeletons on his field no longer have any resistance.

"Yoshi!!"

"Well done! You've got to the chase!!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Antid, whose expression was somewhat serious, frowned.

It seems that Youche is even stronger than I imagined...

My own Bone deck has always focused on fast attacks and board control, but judging from the current situation, it seems that Youche, which has gradually gained the upper hand, will no longer be easily restricted by Bone.

"Tsk... Am I really just going to run away like this...?"

Antid looked at the card in his hand; it was a card meant to ensure mutual destruction in case of emergency.

Almost every member of the Doma organization includes a similar card in their deck to prevent themselves from being harmed by the energy of the Orichalcos barrier.

"No! Absolutely not!!"

"No matter what, I must take back the Armored Dragon!!"

"Even though Lord Daz has successfully completed the remake, even if there were ten thousand powerful ten-star monsters, they still couldn't compare to that three-star card!!"

"Because... that's a promise I made to someone else that I haven't yet fulfilled!!"

His dark purple cloak billowed as Antid drew a card and shouted:

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I can't activate a spell card this turn due to the effect of the high-speed incantation, but I still have the trap cards I set earlier that I can activate!!"

"Continuous Trap Card - Limited Resurrection: This card can revive one monster with 1000 or less ATK from your Graveyard in Attack Position!!"

"I will use this card to summon the Bone King once more!!"

"Click click click click——————————"

The shattered skulls on the ground rose up again and pieced together once more to form that tall and terrifying skeletal monster!

The White Bone King

One star

[Dark Attribute/Undead]

Attack/Defense: ? /0

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Bone King, Attack Power: 0 → 2500

"I haven't performed a Normal Summon yet this turn!" Antid continued, waving his cards. "I'll sacrifice my two Skeletons on the field to Tribute Summon—Red Oni!!"

"At the same time, the effect of the Red Oni is triggered. When this card is successfully summoned, you can send any number of cards from your hand to the Graveyard and return the corresponding number of cards on the field to their owner's hand!!"

"I choose to discard a card from my hand to return Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv7 to your hand!!"

"Furthermore, because the number of skeletons in my graveyard has increased by two, the Skeleton King's attack power will increase by another 2000!!"

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

A terrifying roar echoed through the devastated, empty room. A crimson demon wielding a spiked iron club leaped from the shadows and struck back a lightning-shaped armed dragon with a single blow.

【Red Ghost】

【Seven Stars】

[Earth Attribute/Undead]

[Attack/Defense: 2800/2100]

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Red Oni, Attack Power: 2800 → 3300

The light of Orichalcos descended once more, and Antid's monsters all reached an extremely exaggerated level of combat power.

"Enter battle phase!!" Antid shouted. "Red Oni!! Attack Dark Armed Dragon!! White Bone King!! Attack directly!!!"

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

The ferocious undead demon roared again, and at this moment, everyone was extremely tense.

The Bone King's attack power is currently 4500. Once the Dark Armed Dragon is destroyed, the Bone King can directly wipe out the basic magic of the Wanderer!

At this critical moment, Yu Che flipped over the two face-down cards in quick succession: "Don't be too hasty, Antid!!"

"When you enter the Battle Phase, I activate the Trap Card - Grave Robber, and choose one card from your opponent's Graveyard!!"

"The card I choose is the Bone King from your Graveyard! Summon that card to my field in Defense Position!!"

"At the same time, since a Zombie monster from your opponent's graveyard has been successfully summoned onto my field, I can activate the Trap Card I previously stole from you—King's Graveyard Trap Card!!"
