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

Destroy two cards on the field!

"The cards I'm going to crush are—the Red Oni and the White Bone King!!!"

"Squeak—"

The heavy coffin slowly opened, and the Bone King, reeking of decay and stench, awoke from within and slowly walked towards Youche. Meanwhile, the coffin left on Antid's field suddenly exploded, blasting the two monsters he had just summoned to smithereens!

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

Antide's face was deathly pale.

The Bone King's resurrection ability can only be used when it is destroyed in battle. In other words, when his hand is almost empty, he can only end his turn with an empty field.

"Tsk... Set one card face down, end your turn!"

“Then it’s my turn!” Yu Che said. “Since your goal is to take away Armed Dragon, your deck must have a lot of cards that can take control. So before I deliver the final blow, I’m going to activate the effect of Dark Armed Dragon! Banish one DARK monster from the Graveyard from the Duel and destroy your last face-down card!!”

But just as Yuzuru activated his effect, Antidote sneered as he flipped up the face-down card: "Don't get too cocky, Yuzuru! Although this card is destined to be destroyed, its effect can still be triggered!!"

"Open your eyes wide and watch carefully, this is the ultimate card of mutual destruction—Destruction Wheel!!"

"After the Destruction Wheel shattered the Dark Armed Dragon, you and I, who both suffered 2800 effect damage, will have our base points wiped out!!"

"In this duel, neither of us will emerge victorious!"

“But Antid,” however, Yu Che revealed a card in his hand and said, “this turn, I just happened to draw a quick-play spell card—I Am a Shield!!”

"This card allows you to sacrifice 1500 LP of Duelist to protect one of your monsters. As long as Dark Armed Dragon is not destroyed, Destroyer Wheel cannot deal any damage!!"

"As I said, Armed Dragon is a Heart Card that is of utmost importance to me, so I will do everything in my power to protect it!!"

"Only a blatant thief like you would destroy it for any purpose!!"

"The duel is over!!"

"Dark Armed Dragon!! Direct Attack!!!"

Chapter 228 The Fang of Critius and Seto Kaiba

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion echoed from the top floor of the KC Building, shattering the eerie Orichalcos barrier. Since the final battle ended in a draw, neither Amelda nor Seto Kaiba were sealed by the barrier.

Using the rapidly dissipating smoke, Ameruda quickly retreated to the edge of the building and used the equipment he had prepared in advance to swing onto the building opposite.

"Boom..."

After landing lightly and smoothly, Ameruda quickly untied the ropes and picked up the sniper rifle he had previously used to assassinate Seto Kaiba. As he lowered the scope and aimed it at the meeting room on the seventeenth floor of the KC Building, a scene that surprised him appeared on the crosshairs.

"What...!"

Ameruda murmured in surprise.

"That guy Youche actually cracked Antid's tactics and regained control of the Armed Dragon in the first place?!"

"Based on this timeline, Lord Daz simply doesn't have enough time to generate three cards..."

Before the words were finished, another explosion echoed within the emerald green Orichalcos barrier.

With no other options, Antidote was forced to use the Trap Card - Destruction Wheel, hoping to drag the duel to a draw. But just as Dark Armed Dragon was about to explode and disintegrate, Yuzuriha sacrificed his own life points to shield Armed Dragon from the fatal destruction!

Since the monster couldn't be destroyed, the Destruction Wheel's effect damage couldn't be triggered. If Yugi launches an attack next, Antid will have his soul sealed due to defeat!

"Tsk! You Che... is he really that strong?!"

Ameruda gritted his teeth.

Currently, although the Doma organization has taken control of the entire KC building, if Antid really becomes a sacrifice to the new god, even Lord Daz cannot save him.

Looking at the bullet pendant made of special crystal on his chest, Ameruda frowned.

To escape the punishment of the Orichalcos barrier, besides forcibly bringing the duel to a draw, another way is to use the crystal known as "Orichalcos" to destroy it from the outside.

Almost every member of the Doma organization carries such a crystal just in case. The two pendants that Youche found on Rafiru's servant were also made of orchardite.

As Yu Che was about to enter the battle, Ameruda, with a solemn expression, took the orthogonal bullet off his necklace. But just before he was about to insert the bullet into the magazine, Ameruda hesitated.

This rescue tactic is ultimately a provocation against the Orichalcos Barrier...

No matter who it is or how far away they are, they will suffer a powerful backlash from the barrier using orogen!

It's possible that not only will we fail to rescue Antidote, but we might also perish here...

"Click————————"

Hesitantly, the bullet was already chambered, but facing the emerald green light array barrier in the distance, Ameruda still did not have the courage to pull the trigger.

"What are you doing, Ameruda!" At that moment, Baron, who had arrived on his motorcycle, took off his helmet and ran over. After observing the situation on the other side through binoculars, he questioned sharply, "If you don't take action now, Antid will die in there!"

“I know!” Ameruda’s fingertips trembled slightly.

"If you're too scared, leave it to me. Don't waste any more time!" Baron said, preparing to snatch the sniper rifle from Ameruda's hand. "To you, Antid is just a teammate. But ever since I joined the Doma organization, he's taken care of me like a brother. If you're too scared to save him, then I will!"

Like an older brother...?

Upon hearing those two familiar words, Ameruda's eyes suddenly glazed over, and certain events from the past quickly surfaced in her mind.

That was the scene when I first joined the "Doma Swordsmen". When the high and mighty Lord Daz introduced me to the other members, he briefly mentioned the past of this tall and thin man.

“Ameruda, this is Antidote.”

“His experience is very similar to yours; you are both very responsible older brothers.”

"But your brothers, without exception, have been consumed by the darkness in people's hearts in this world..."

"I believe you will find common ground more, and support each other in the tasks to come."

When he first became the swordsman of Doma, he was indeed closest to Antid. But as time went on, their similar tragic experiences would always reappear in their minds when they met.

Gradually, the two, unwilling to recall the past, began to tacitly keep their distance from each other. After so many years, Ameruda had almost forgotten that the guy had once been a partner who was remarkably similar to herself...

"Ameruda!!"

What are you still hesitating for?!

"Youche has already launched a direct attack!!!"

Suddenly, Baron's loud shout pulled Ameruda back to reality from her memories.

"Antied!" Ameruda's eyes hardened instantly. This time, he resolutely pulled the trigger a second before the Dark Armored Dragon unleashed its breath. "Right now, I have nothing but revenge, but you have an unfulfilled promise to keep!!"

"Boom!!!!!!!!!"

The firing pin ignited the powder chamber at the tail of the orthoclase bullet, and a sudden explosion, crisper and louder than any other ammunition, rang out, even creating a brief sonic boom!

The bullet, imbued with immense energy, shot out at breakneck speed, shattering the Orichalcum barrier surrounding the two duelists the moment the Dark Armed Dragon launched its attack!

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

A powerful energy surged outwards, sending countless shards of glass and paper flying out of the empty windows. The people in the reception room scrambled to avoid the debris, and even the Doma assassins who had captured Wang Yang and his group were forced to retreat immediately.

"Uh-huh!!!"

The energy backlash from the barrier struck Ameruda like a heavy hammer. He groaned, spitting out blood as his body flew backward like a sandbag.

Just as he was about to be blasted off the building by the powerful energy, Baron, who was prepared, rushed out from the side and stopped the seriously injured Ameruda in a very dangerous situation.

In a corner of the rooftop of a high-rise building, Ameruda, his face covered in blood, was deathly pale.

Baron called for backup, saying to Ameruda:

"It's a success! Antid should be alright!"

"Ameruda, you should get some rest."

"Since your and Antid's mission has failed, my mission cannot afford to go wrong!"

The sound of ropes sliding came from nearby. Seeing the organization's rescuers arrive, Baron put his goggles back on and quickly disappeared from the rooftop.

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

The moment the Dark Armed Dragon launched its attack, an unprecedentedly powerful energy blasted everyone away!

The thick smoke and the constant flow of emerald green energy blinded everyone, but at the same time, it created their best chance to escape!

"clang------------"

Seto Kaiba kicked open the door to the previously sealed reception room, and amidst the billowing smoke, he anxiously called out, "Keipai! Keipai!!"

"I'm fine! Brother!!" Amid the chaos, Kaiba Keihei shouted back.

"KC Corporation has been completely overrun! Take everyone and get out of here with me!" As he gave the order, Seto Kaiba pressed the controller, and Isono, who was already prepared, flew the rescue helicopter to the window.

Led by the Kaiba brothers, the group quickly evacuated, and several Doma assassins who tried to stop them were killed by Seto Kaiba's well-trained henchmen.

"Yuche! Are you alright?!" Jonouchi pulled up Yuche, the last person to board the plane, and asked with concern.

Youche jumped onto the plane, stepping over the messy windowsill, and shook his head.

"Rumble rumble rumble ————————————————"

The roar of the propellers filled the air as everyone successfully evacuated.

Sitting in the helicopter, You Che, still shaken, gasped for breath as he recalled the scene that had just unfolded.

Orichalcos is incredibly powerful...

The moment that energy poured out, he felt as if his soul was being ripped away.

Fortunately, the energy didn't seem to be directed at him, nor at Antid, who was on the verge of defeat.

The energy was directed very purposefully in a certain direction outside the building.

“It seems someone forcibly broke the Orichalcos barrier.” Wang Yang, who had also noticed this, said, and the group communicated through their only communication device amidst the noisy propellers.

“Yes, and the rules that Orichalcos follows seem to be somewhat different,” Yu Che said. “The punishments of the Three Egyptian Gods are applied to everyone involved regardless of the reason, while the Orichalcos barrier seems to only punish those who break the barrier.”

"So, that guy isn't dead, he'll definitely come back for me..." Kaiba Keihei's eyes widened.

"Hmph!" Seto Kaiba said coldly, "Doma and his gang won't die in their own trap. While you were being held hostage, another duelist assassin also came after me. But just as I was about to defeat him, that guy escaped using some special methods!"

Seto Kaiba deliberately avoided mentioning the appearance of the mysterious card—the Fang of Critius.

In his view, this was a special circumstance caused by some inexplicable scientific reason, and at the same time, a gift and a generous present.

For so long, Youche and Youxi have always possessed some powers that he couldn't control, and now that he suddenly has such a new and unknown weapon, he can't openly reveal it to those two guys unless he defeats them first.
