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

"You Che, you keep saying you'll make me pay any price~"

"But with your skill level, how could you possibly do that?"

"As far as I know, those dark duels that require risking one's life can only be initiated with the Millennium Items, right?"

"In the end, even if you do beat me, you can't really do anything to me, right?"

With a gloomy expression, You Che slowly drew a card from the deck, then said coldly:

"That's right, I really can't initiate a Dark Duel."

"However, the people of the Doma organization left behind some good things."

"Even without the Millennium Item, thanks to that card, this battle will be no different from a duel in darkness!!"

"My turn!!"

"Set four cards face down, activate the Spell Card - Hand Exchange!!"

"Both duelists must reveal their hands, and then choose one card from their opponent's hand to add to their own!"

"Because I only have this last card left, you have no choice!!"

Insect Moth raised an eyebrow, puzzled as to what Yu Che was going to put in his hand. But as the mysterious card slowly flipped over, Insect Moth finally realized that it was the powerful Field Spell Card—Orichalcos Barrier!

As Yuche took the "offering to the dead" from Insect Moth's hands, the Orichalcos barrier also fell into Insect Moth's hands.

Holding the powerful card that Youche had looted from the group of Doma assassins, Insect Moth couldn't help but laugh excitedly: "What the heck~ Youche~ You actually gave me such a treasure~"

"I understand your thoughts, and I know the purpose of this card."

"Orichalcos's barrier activates, and the loser of this duel will have their soul stolen!"

"You don't want to activate this card yourself, so you're trying to lure me into doing so. But if I wait until my turn and discard it as a cost, you still can't do anything to me."

"You're wrong, Insect Moth!" You Che flipped over the card that had been face down and shouted, "Once that card is in your hand, you have no choice!"

"This duel must be a life-or-death battle!"

"Magic Card Activated—In Hand!!"

"Declare the name of a Spell Card. If your opponent has that card in their hand, force them to use it immediately!!"

"Insect/Moth, play that card! It's the Field Spell Card I just gave you—Orichalcos Barrier!!!"

"What?!" Insect Moth's expression changed. Before he could react, the card in his hand flew out automatically under the effect of the magic card and landed on the Duel Disk.

In an instant, a beam of emerald green light descended from the sky, and a strange six-pointed star magic circle appeared from the ground. As the initiator, the insect moth itself was also subjected to a powerful backlash. At the same time, light patterns symbolizing Orichalcos appeared on the foreheads of both him and his monster, and dark green light faintly shone in their eyes.

"Beep beep beep beep——————————"

Electric Blade Bug, Attack Power: 3400 → 3900

The insect-moth initially felt intense pain, but soon that pain transformed into a captivating pleasure. With a grim face, it chuckled coldly and mocked Youche, who was also trapped by the barrier:

"Heh heh heh~ Trying to kill me this way, you've got some nerve, You Che~"

"But with such powerful cards, how could I possibly lose to you so easily?!"

"In the past, you only relied on the power of card spirits to cheat your way to victory. Now, we are both duelists who wield card spirits!!"

"With the Orichalcohol barrier in place, the only one who will ultimately be cruelly sacrificed is you, the one who played with fire and got burned!!"

You Che did not respond. He had achieved his goal, and now he needed to punish this wicked fellow within this barrier.

"Whoosh——————————————"

Another pre-set card was revealed, and You Che announced in a loud voice:

"Activate the Spell Card - Heavenly Treasure Card!!"

"Both duelists now draw six cards from their hands!!"

"Then activate the magic card I just snatched from you—Offering to the Dead!!"

"Discard a card to destroy the Electric Blade Bug!!!"

The discarded cards transformed into countless bandages that shot towards the Insect Moth monster, but the prepared Insect Moth merely smiled disdainfully and inserted its cards into the Duel Disk.

"Hmph~ Useless! Maneuver!"

"Chain the effect of offering to the dead, activate the effect of the monster card Parasite Paranoid from your hand! Equip this card to Electric Blade Bug!!"

"Next, under the effect of the offering to the dead, the Electric Blade Bug equipped with Parasite will be destroyed, but at the same time the effect of Parasite will be triggered, and I can Special Summon a Level 7 or higher Insect-Type monster from my hand without any conditions!!"

"Before my beautiful and powerful new pet makes its debut, let this old buddy bring endless despair to the enemy!!"

"Go and destroy everything in your path, the perfect creation at the end of evolution!!"

"The ultimate, perfect-form giant moth!!!"

The parasite Paranoid, which was parasitizing the Electric Blade Insect, began to rapidly absorb nutrients from the corpse and used this energy to give birth to a new monster!

A strange light descended, and poisonous gas swirled around them.

In the eerie and terrifying swamp, an astonishing moth, over four meters tall, emerged from the corpses and landed on the battlefield. The light patterns of the Orichalcum barrier were then inscribed, amplifying its already terrifying attack power even further!

"Beep beep beep beep————————————"

Ultimate Perfect Form Great Moth, Attack Power: 3500 → 4000

"Hey~ This scene looks familiar, doesn't it, Yuzuru~" Insect Moth laughed smugly, "Everything here is practically the same as back in Duel Kingdom~"

"Thanks to the card you gave me, my Ultimate Perfect Form Great Moth's attack power has been increased to a full 4000!!"

"It seems this duel will soon be decided."

"You love to ramble on so much? Then I'll shut you up with an attack!!" Yu Che flipped up another card and shouted, "Activate the Spell Card - Swing of Memories! Special Summon 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard. The monster revived by this effect will be destroyed during the End Phase!!"

"I chose the lone, carefree creature that was just thrown into the cemetery as an offering to the dead!!"

"When a lone Yoyo exists in the Graveyard or on the field, it is treated as a Normal Monster and its card name changes to Yoyo!!"

"And because of the resurrection of the lone Yu-Yu, this Hellfire Summon can be activated, allowing me to Special Summon as many Yu-Yu as possible from my hand, deck, and graveyard!!"

"While you can enjoy this ability, you can't possibly have three copies of Ultimate Perfected Great Moth in your deck, Insect Feather Moth!!"

"In other words, I'm the only one who ultimately benefits from this effect!!"

"Come on!! Yoyos!!!"

[Attack/Defense: 300/100]

"Hmph~" The insect moth, whose words had been prophesied by Yu Che, could only watch helplessly as three more leisurely flew into the battlefield. But facing such a low-attack monster, he was completely fearless with his Ultimate Perfect Form Great Moth. "As a monster with extremely demanding summoning conditions, I only included one copy of the Ultimate Perfect Form Great Moth in my deck."

"But so what if you can summon four monsters in an instant?"

"In the end, a small fry is just a small fry!!"

"With a mere 300 points of attack power, you can't do anything at all!!"

Youche revealed the last card he had set aside at the start of his turn and coldly shouted, "Insect Moth, your actions have enraged all the card spirits!!"

"Now, prepare to face the fury of the Yoyos!!"

"Continuous Spell Card activated—Angry Yo-Yo!!"

"As long as there is a Yoyo on my field, if an Angel-Type monster is destroyed, all Yoyos on my field will have their ATK increased to 3000 until the end of this turn!!"

"3000?!" The insect moth was taken aback.

Although such attack power is still not enough to defeat the ultimate form of the giant moth, it is enough to do so when combined with some other magical traps!

Furthermore, once this card's effect is triggered, there will be not just one monster with 3000 ATK on the field, but four! It's equivalent to four Blue-Eyes White Dragons appearing in an instant!!

only……

What method does Youche plan to use to trigger this effect?!

Is it possible that we should have Youyou, whose current attack power is only 300, launch a suicide attack?

Thinking of this, the cunning insect, the feathered moth, couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.

In his view, Yuzuru, who was already blinded by anger, was very likely to do something reckless. And if Yuzuru did do that, he could activate the pre-prepared face-down card and end the duel directly!

"Hehehe~" The insect-moth gloated secretly, "A suicide attack will deal 3700 combat damage, and with this card, Yu Che is doomed, hahahahaha~"

However, the next second, something completely unexpected happened.

The way Yuyu was triggered to become enraged wasn't through battle, but through summoning—a normal summon!

"Normal Summon—Cloud Monster Cirrus Cloud in Defense Position!!" This card, also a loot of Yuche, was proclaimed loudly, "Cloud Monster Cirrus Cloud's effect: If this card is face-up in Defense Position, it will be destroyed immediately!!"

"And because the Cloud Demon - Cirrus Cloud is an Angel, the Wrathful Flow effect is triggered the moment it self-destructs!!"

"At this moment, all four of our Yo-Yo's on the field have their attack power increased to 3000 points!!!"

Chapter 238 The Last Nameless Dragon - Timaeus

On the cliffs of the island in the middle of the land, the duel between Yugi and Rafael continues.

Unlike the duels of the other members of the Doma Organization, Rafael did not play the Field Spell Card - Orichalcos Barrier at the start. Instead, just like Yugi did on the other side, he handed the Orichalcos Barrier to Yugi.

At this moment, the scorching sun shone through the clouds, and the duel became exceptionally intense and agonizing due to the unfolding of Raphiel's Guardian deck.
