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

"Spell Card activated!! Attack blocked!!"

"This card can change one Attack Position monster your opponent controls to Defense Position!!"

"My target is—Cloud Monster: Cirrus Cloud!!!"

"What?!" Doma's expression changed drastically, and the other assassins were also greatly shocked. "Why? How does Youche know the effects of Cloud Demon Monsters?! This deck was clearly derived from Card Spirits!!"

The magical light descended, forcing the monsters of the Doma assassins into a defensive stance. Just as the gray-white magical cloud was about to descend to the ground for defense, it suddenly turned into countless splashes of water and disappeared into the battlefield.

Seeing this, a surprised Hermoti stopped flipping through his magic book: "What... what exactly is going on?"

You Che remained silent, coldly staring at his opponent. The remnants of the card spirits around him urged him to end the duel as soon as possible.

Cloud monsters are a type of monster that cannot be destroyed in battle.

However, they also have a fatal weakness: they are destroyed when they become defensive.

The combo designed by the Doma Assassin utilizes the Orichalcos Barrier to enhance the attack power of the Cloud Monster, allowing it to suppress the opponent with stronger combat power and battle destruction resistance. At the same time, the Cirrus Cloud, protected in the back field, has the special ability to remove fog indicators and destroy the monster.

Therefore, in a regular duel, without knowing this information, many duelists would be unable to destroy the Cloud Demon even if they summoned a monster with higher attack power. And when the next turn began, the newly summoned ace would be destroyed by the Cloud Demon - Cirrus Cloud.

In the DM era, such tactics were not considered weak. However, unfortunately, the duelist this Doma assassin encountered was none other than Yu Che, a time traveler!

"Tsk!!" The assassin Doma's face was extremely gloomy.

The Cloud Monster Cirrus Cloud, with its three fog indicators, was key to his early-game tactics, but he never expected it to be so easily destroyed by Yuzha!

"It's not over yet," Yugi continued his offensive, "Activating the Spell Card—Rough Man's Expectation!!"

"If you have no monsters on your field, you can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from your Deck!!"

"The monster I want to Special Summon is—V. Jet Tiger!!"

"Sizzle————————————————"

Two streaks of gray-white exhaust swept across the battlefield, and at the same time, a metallic tiger roar resounded as a golden mechanical tiger descended into the battlefield.

【V·Jet Tiger】

【Four stars】

[Light Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1600/1800]

"Activate the Spell Card again—Licensed Resurrection!" Yu Che shouted. "Target one Machine-Type monster on my field, and equip it with one Union Monster from my Deck!!"

"Come on, Wing Launcher!!"

"Exclude V Jet Tiger and Wing Catapult from the duel!!"

"Summoning!! VW Power Tiger!!!"

Golden electricity surged across the battlefield as the two mechanical monsters rapidly assembled, perfectly transforming into a powerful mechanical combat unit.

【VW·Strong Tiger】

【Six Star】

[Light Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2000/2100]

Yu Che said, "Activate the effect of VW Tiger, discard one card from your hand, and change the face-up of one monster your opponent controls!!"

"I choose to change Cloud Monster Storm Dragon to Defense Position. However, like Cloud Monster Cirrus Cloud, it will be destroyed due to its own effect!!!"

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle"

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

The intense ionic current formed a huge net that completely covered the Cloud Demon Storm Dragon. Under the irresistible force, the Cloud Demon Storm Dragon was also forced to change its shape. As it fell to the ground, the originally surging water vapor and mist also instantly dissipated.

Seeing yet another of his monsters destroyed, the Doma Assassin roared in fury, "Impossible!! How could you possibly know the abilities of my monsters!!"

Youche didn't want to waste words with that guy. Under the guidance of Sleeping Giant Gudu, he had to deal with the guy in front of him as soon as possible and then go to save those weak card spirits.

"Entering battle phase!!"

"Activate Quick-Play Spell Card - Limit Removed!!"

"This turn, the ATK of all Machine-Type monsters on my field is doubled!!"

"Go!! VW Power Tiger!!"

"Direct attack!!!"

A magic card lit up, and in an instant, VW·Strong Tiger entered overload mode, its attack power increasing to 4000!

Upon seeing this, the assassin Doma turned deathly pale.

He hadn't expected that Youche would try to take him down in the first round.

"Tsk!!" Facing the oncoming barrage of fire, the Doma Assassin was forced to reveal his face-down card and shouted, "Continuous Trap Card activated—Call of the Dead!!"

"Special Summon Cloud Monster Cirrus from the Graveyard in Attack Position!!"

"Simultaneously chain another Continuous Trap Card—Soul Barrier!!"

"This card's effect is: as long as there is a monster on my field, all battle damage I receive becomes zero!!!"

"Youche, according to the rules of the duel, your attack will bounce back!!"

"But even if you choose to continue attacking, with the soul barrier in place, you absolutely cannot harm me!!!"

"Splash splash——————————————————"

The dissipated clouds condensed again on the battlefield, and at the same time, a semi-transparent dark gray barrier rose up to protect the Doma assassins.

This is considered a very classic tactic.

Cloud monsters cannot be destroyed by battle as long as they are in attack position, and as long as there is a monster on the field, Soul Barrier can make the duelist immune to battle damage.

Once this combo is formed, it can block the vast majority of attacks.

The smug Doma assassin sneered as he looked at the monster on the field. Due to the removal of the restriction, VW Tiger would be destroyed at the end of this turn!

Now that I've blocked that guy Youche's attack, I can launch a powerful and lethal counterattack in the next round.

"Come on, make your choice now!"

"Should we continue with that pointless attack or give up this opportunity?"

"But no matter which one it is, your defeat is already predetermined!!"

However, You Che calmly replied, "It's not time for me to make a real choice yet."

"Nani?" The Doma assassin was taken aback.

"Whoosh——————————————"

A card flashed in his hand, and he exclaimed, "Quick-Play Spell Card activated—Spell Card [Monster Resurrection]!!"

"Special Summon 1 monster from your or your opponent's Graveyard. This turn, the monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack, and its effects cannot be activated!!"

"And the monster I'm going to resurrect is the Machine-type monster that was just sent to the graveyard by VW Power Tiger—Android Psycho-Shocker!!!"

The assassin Doma's expression changed drastically.

It's... a fast-paced version of Monster Resurrection?!

While adjusting the rules of the next-generation Duel City, Seto Kaiba, who had just acquired the right to create cards, designed this special card.

Due to its powerful abilities, this Quick-Play Monster Resurrection card has become an extremely rare and highly sought-after card!

And how did Yu Che manage to get his hands on a card like that?!

Is this... the special privilege of the King of Duel?!

In a holy glow, the android Psychic Shocker, imbued with an aura of despair, was resurrected from the graveyard, and the instant it appeared, all the trap cards on Doma Assassin's field were blasted to pieces!

Although the monsters resurrected by the Quick-Play version of Monster Reborn cannot activate their effects, the ability of Android Psychic Shocker is passive; as long as this card is on the field, all Trap Cards on the field will be negated and destroyed!

"Boom boom boom!"

Two explosions rang out in succession, and as the cries of the undead ceased, the Cloud Demon - Cirrus Cloud was shattered once again.

At this moment, only one Doma Assassin with an Orichalcos Barrier remained on the field, and he could only withstand the direct attack of VW·Strong Tiger.

This attack, however, possessed a power of 4000, enough to instantly kill it!

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!"

A deafening cannon shot rang out, and a laser beam swept out, blasting the Doma assassin's body away.

The light from the Orichalcos barrier quickly receded, and in the blink of an eye, the soul of the Doma assassin was sealed within the card.

You Che's gaze swept over the remaining Doma assassins.

He had thought these guys would retreat without a fight, but after the leader of the Doma assassins fell, they still cautiously surrounded him.

Time was running out. You Che waved his duel disk and coldly shouted, "Stop wasting time! If you're going to fight, then fight together!"

"duel!!!!"

valley.

Honda drove Ryuji Oga's jeep, carrying Jonouchi and Kyoko, towards the place where Yoshihiro was dueling.

Although they were dissatisfied with what Rebecca had concealed, the most important thing now was to support the game as soon as possible and prevent him from falling into the Doma organization's trap.

Thinking that the game could be dangerous at any moment, Honda gritted his teeth and accelerated.

What they didn't expect was that the ones truly about to fall into the trap weren't the King Yu in the midst of his duel, but rather those who had rushed to his aid!

As they approached a relatively wide cliff, a sudden loud crash came from directly ahead, and a huge boulder fell, completely blocking their path.

Honda was startled and immediately slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a dangerous stop beside the cliff.

The three looked solemnly at the boulder, where a red-haired duelist stood. He wore black goggles, and the dark purple blade-shaped dueling disk on his arm symbolized his identity.

"Damn it!!" Honda gritted his teeth. "It seems Doma's goal isn't the game, but us..."

The red-haired duelist leaped nimbly off the boulder, landing lightly on the ground. He smiled seemingly in a friendly manner, but his eyes held a chilling killing intent.

"Heh, I'm not interested in you two small fry~"

"I've come here only for that treacherous coward—Jounouchi!!"
