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

"Wait! The Dragon Card?" Yugi took out the Eye of Timaeus from his deck. "Kaiba got it too? I thought only Jonouchi and I had obtained the power of the Nameless Dragon."

Jonouchi was taken aback: "The nameless dragon? It seems... in that vague memory, there were three crystal dragons in total. Could the third one belong to Seto Kaiba?!"

"Alright," said Peacock Dance, "we don't have much time to discuss this. If we don't hurry, it'll be troublesome if that guy causes trouble!"

With time running out, everyone took advantage of the lull in the demon elves' sweep to get into their vehicles and rush to the nearest airport.

At the same time, shortly after hanging up the phone, an alarm sounded on the plane piloted by Seto Kaiba.

Seeing the control panel displaying an error, Seto Kaiba's gaze turned cold. He switched from manual to automatic driving, slammed the cockpit door shut, and strode towards the passenger cabin.

"Brother!!" Kaiba Keihei, who was trapped in the cockpit and had no idea what was happening, called out immediately.

Seto Kaiba put on his Duel Disk and walked into the cabin: "Hide inside, the enemy has appeared."

"Thump—thump—"

The piercing alarm blared throughout the plane, and the bright red warning lights flashed incessantly. A familiar figure sat in the last seat, coldly staring at Seto Kaiba.

“We meet again, Kaiba.” Amelda stood up and unfolded the Duel Disk. “During our last duel, you said that I, as the older brother, was incompetent for failing to save my younger brother.”

"Now, I'm going to see if you, who said such things, really have the power to save your own brother!!"

"Seto Kaiba, the Doma Organization has planted a bomb on this passenger plane, and the detonation device is connected to the Duel Disk in my hand."

"Starting five minutes from now, one bomb will be detonated every minute. After ten minutes, all the bombs will destroy the plane!!"

"And to stop all of this, you must defeat me with the cards you have!!"

Seto Kaiba snorted and glared at Ameruda with disgust.

His trip was not actually going directly to Atlantis Island. The final destination of the passenger plane was an airport not far from the KC Group headquarters.

Seto Kaiba couldn't possibly take his younger brother Keihei Kaiba to fight Daz, so he planned to settle Keihei in after landing before piloting the Blue-Eyes White Dragon jet to fight the enemy himself.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's intelligence network and operations once again exceeded his expectations. The spare passenger plane, which should have been full of fleeing passengers, only had one ruthless and desperate criminal on board.

"Trying to provoke me, Ameruda?" Seto Kaiba unfolded his Duel Disk, stepped forward, and said coldly, "In that case, I'll defeat you as quickly as possible!!"

"Before this battle begins, there's something I need to make clear to you!!"

"That means all those who use Guiping as a bargaining chip will ultimately meet a terrible end!!"

"Come on!! Let's duel!!!"

"Whoosh——————————————————"

Seizing the initiative, Seto Kaiba swiftly unleashed his card, summoning his ace monster—Blue-Eyes White Dragon—right in the very first turn!

Ameruda, who had never intended to let them go, showed no mercy. As soon as the turn began, determined to bury the Kaiba brothers in the sky, he played the Field Spell Card that symbolized death—Orichalcos Barrier!

An energy several times stronger than before exploded outwards, and a six-pointed star magic array descended from the sky, imprisoning the two people inside the doomed passenger plane.

Chapter 242 Joint Offensive! Dark Armed Dragon and the Bone King!

As night gradually fell, the terrifying serpent's eyes surveyed everything on earth from the pitch-black sky. Hordes of demonic elves swept through the cities, attacking anyone indiscriminately. As the serpent god's power slowly manifested, the remaining three musketeers of Doma also set out to intercept the group heading to Atlantis Island.

On the dilapidated highway, several wrecked cars attracted everyone's attention. Clearly, this road to the airport was not safe, and they didn't know whether elves or assassins were waiting for them ahead.

"I really have a bad feeling about this..." Kyoko murmured, rubbing her arms in the car.

Wang Yang also said, "That's right, I can also feel that there seems to be a dark force stirring around us."

"Tsk, we have to go faster!" Ryuji Otogi gritted his teeth as he drove the car. "The whole world is in chaos right now, we must defeat Doma as soon as possible!!"

As he spoke, he pressed down on the accelerator and sped forward. But just as they were about to cross an intersection, an extremely blinding motorcycle headlight shone from ahead. Otogi Ryuuji, blinded by the light, had to brake suddenly, and the others, including Kongzaku Mai, also stopped.

In the deep darkness of night, only half a streetlamp flickered faintly at this intersection; the rest of the light came from the cars of the crowd and from the eerie snake eye in the sky.

"What's going on?!" Jonouchi jumped out from behind Mai's carriage, ready to unleash his Duel Disk. Upon seeing the Doma Organization's Duel Disk on the arm of the person blocking his path, he roared angrily, "Damn it!! It really was you! What did you do to Baron?!"

A deep, powerful voice came from the shadows, and the muscular blond man slowly walked out, saying, "Thanks to you, he has become a sacrifice to the new god."

"What?!" Jonouchi was about to rush forward, yelling, "You bastards!!"

Rafael snorted coldly, ignoring the enraged Jonouchi, and pointed at Yugi, saying, "My target is none other than you, the nameless Pharaoh."

“Now the Serpent God has descended, and no one except you people knows the location of our Doma organization’s temple.”

"By order of Lord Daz, we must stop you before the Serpent God completely destroys this world."

“Nameless Pharaoh, there is still an unfinished battle between us. Let us finish this duel at the very end of this world.”

Wang Yu stepped out of the car with a cold expression, throwing off the coat he was wearing. His strong arm muscles were particularly well-defined under the headlights. The Duel Disk, which was ready to be set up, automatically unfolded. As he walked toward Rafael, he said to the others, "Leave this to me. You guys hurry up and chase after Kaiba."

Before he could finish speaking, a tall figure suddenly emerged from the shadows. The Doma assassins who had surged from all sides completely surrounded the crossroads. Youche looked at the man and saw that his figure was like a giant clothes rack. His wide black cloak was constantly being blown by the wind, and it vaguely outlined his thin body.

“Antied…” Youche recognized the guy. He was one of the four swordsmen of Doma who had appeared in the KC Group before. His favorite deck was the Bone deck.

The expressions on everyone's faces turned serious.

Right now, they have no choice but to fight.

Neither Rafael nor Antid could choose a two-on-two format. Therefore, this duel, just like the initial Orichalcos incident, was two simultaneous one-on-one battles!

"duel!!!!"

A loud shout pierced the night as the four men drew their cards almost simultaneously.

In this duel with Antid, Youche gained the upper hand!

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Whoosh————————————————"

A silver arc of light swept across as Youche looked at the card he had just drawn into his hand.

In the last duel, Antid failed to take Armored Dragon, so in Yuzuru's view, his goal remains unchanged. Therefore, Yuzuru does not intend to fight him with Armored Dragon right away, but instead chooses Yuyu, who must rely on other effects.

Without the help of other cards, even if Antid takes away Yoyo, he cannot enhance his own combat power. However, once he takes control of the Armed Dragon, the situation will be completely different.

"Defense Position Summon—Yoyo!!" Yugi summoned the monster and announced, "Set three cards face down, End Turn!!"

The Duel Disk flashed, and a sweet-smelling tofu-shaped angel slowly floated out, assuming a defensive stance. At the same time, three face-down cards appeared behind it.

【long】

[Light Attribute/Angel Race]

[Attack/Defense: 300/100]

"It's... Yuuyu?" Yuuto Ryuuji said with some surprise. "Even though you got the first strike, you still chose to defend with a monster with lower combat power?"

After a moment of thought, Peacock Dance explained, "It seems that Youche doesn't want his opponent to take away his Armored Dragon again, so he chose this starting position."

However, after hearing everyone's words, Antid only gave a few sinister laughs and said, "Is that so? Youche, so that's what you think?"

"But unfortunately, as your Yoyo system gradually became complete, my deck also gained new power!!"

"Ever since I temporarily controlled your Armed Dragon in the last duel, Lord Daz has bestowed these two cards upon me. Now, I'll show you what the true fighting power of the Armed Dragon is all about!!"

"My turn!! Draw a card!!"

"I activate the effect of Dark Warrior Grepha from my hand. This card can be Special Summoned by discarding one Level 5 or higher DARK monster from my hand. I choose to discard Ushioni from my hand!!"

"Come forth!! Dark Warrior Grefa!!!"

The moment the card was played, a storm of dark energy suddenly arose, and an evil warrior wielding a dark longsword emerged from the black wind with a sinister grin. Within his sword resided the undead spirit of a demon.

Dark Warrior Grefa

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1700/1600]

Five stars or higher?!

The astute strategist noticed Antid's tactical differences in an instant.

This guy previously used the Bone deck, but in this era, there are no monsters of level 5 or higher in the Bone series. This means that Antid's deck construction may have changed.

And considering what he just said...

Could it be that his trump card is something else?!

“Heh,” Antid continued to throw cards from his hand, “I’ll activate Dark Warrior Grefa’s second effect again. Once per turn, you can discard one DARK monster from your hand and send another DARK monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.”

"Thanks to this effect, I now have three monsters in my graveyard, so I can Special Summon this monster!!"

"Appear now!! The ultimate dragon from the darkness!!"

"Dark Armed Dragon!!!"

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

A deafening roar suddenly erupted in the darkness. To everyone's astonishment, a gigantic dragon claw tore through the night, forcefully emerging from the void. The dark aura from the graveyard rapidly coalesced on its body, transforming into armor that radiated an evil light.

After making its appearance, it slowly opened its eyes and stared intently at the enemy with its dark dragon pupils.

Dark Armed Dragon

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2800/1000]

Everyone watched this scene in shock.

"What?! It's actually a Dark Armored Dragon?!"

"Isn't the Armed Dragon a monster that only the Wanderer possesses?"

"Wait, 2800 plus 1700... plus the destruction of three cards in a row, could this guy be trying to OTK (One-Turn Kill)?!"

Standing behind the proud, armed dragon, Antid sneered smugly, "Besides the effects you see, the Orichalcos Barrier has another ability for the Doma Organization."

"That is the Dark Form, which can create monsters affected by the Orichalcos Barrier!!"

"During the last duel, Armored Dragon was under my control, so after being affected by the Orichalcos Barrier, Lord Daz was able to create the true form of Armored Dragon!!"

"You, who have always used the lightning form, simply do not understand that only the Armored Dragon in its dark form possesses truly terrifying power!!"
