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

He didn't want to give Yuche, who had zero cards in his hand, the chance to replenish his hand, but it seemed there was no other way at the moment.

but……

Antide's eyes turned cold as he glanced at the two face-down cards in the backcourt.

If you can draw that card, you can activate this combo!

"Spell Card Activated - Heavenly Treasure Card!!" Antid finally chose to play this card. "Both duelists replenish their hands to six cards!!"

A shower of golden light poured down, and among countless gold coins, both players' hands were completely replenished.

As cards were drawn into his hand, Antid's gaze grew increasingly serious. But when the last card appeared, a look of excitement spread across his face: "Hehehe, I actually got it!"

Everyone was taken aback, with a bad feeling, wondering what kind of tactics Antid would use next.

"Whoosh——————————————————"

Antid revealed the card and shouted loudly:

"Activate the Continuous Trap Card - Cry of the Dead!!"

"Special Summon Bone King from the Graveyard in Attack Position!!"

"Activate the Spell Card again—Book of the Living: Forbidden Spell—to revive the second Bone King from your Graveyard and banish the Armed Dragon Lv5 from your Graveyard from the Duel!!"

"Because there is a skeleton in our graveyard, their original attack power is 1000!!"

"With the added effect of the Orichalcos barrier, its final attack power is 1500!!!"

The White Bone King

One star

[Dark Attribute/Undead]

Attack/Defense: ? /0

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

White Bone King, Attack Power: ? → 1500

Then Antidote swung his card, saying, "I'll activate the Spell Card again—Mystic Eye of Intimidation!! Target one Zombie monster on my field with 2000 or less ATK. This turn, that monster can attack directly!!"

"What?!" Honda exclaimed in shock. "After resurrecting two monsters from the graveyard, the White Bone King's attack power is just below 2000. Does that mean it will bypass Armed Dragon Lv7 and directly inflict combat damage on Yuzuriha?"

“It’s not over yet!” Antid’s eyes turned cold as he flipped over the last face-down card. “Last turn, I didn’t activate this card in order to summon Dark Armed Dragon.”

"And now, Yuzuriha, this card will bring you an even more terrifying darkness!!"

"Trap Card activated - Leisurely Burial!!"

"If I send a monster from my Deck to the Graveyard, I cannot activate the effects of cards sent to the Graveyard by this effect, or the effects of cards with the same name!!"

"The monster I've chosen to send to the graveyard is a skeleton!!"

"Due to the increased number of bones in the graveyard, my Bone King's attack power will be increased to 2500!!"

"Using the effect of the Intimidating Eye, this attack will bypass your trump card and directly damage you!!!"

"Entering battle phase!! Bone King!! Direct attack!!!"

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

A terrifying howl emanated from the Bone King's mouth. It spread its arms, enjoying the evil power that the graveyard bestowed upon it. It slowly floated into the air, its wide robes billowing in the gale.

Suddenly, it brought its two sinister bone hands together, unleashing a burst of dark purple light that struck You Che directly!

"boom!!!!!!!!!"

"Beep beep beep beep——————————"

Cruise control, LP: 4000→1500

"Youche!!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Amidst the billowing smoke, You Che coughed violently before slowly straightening up.

He is no longer as fragile as before. With the protection of the elf and the Sleeping Giant Gudu, his physique is much stronger than before, and he can withstand even dark duels without the help of external forces.

This terrifying attack caused the others' expressions to change drastically.

Standing upright again amidst the thick smoke, You Che said calmly, "It's useless. You have no chance of winning unless you destroy the Armed Dragon. Your Dark Armed Dragon will be unusable for the next three rounds, and relying solely on the Bone King will absolutely not be enough to stop the Armed Dragon's offensive."

"Is that so? You, Yuzuru." After ending the battle phase, Antid once again inserted the card into the Duel Disk and sneered, "Then let's see if you break down my defense first, or if you die under this card first."

"Ban 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon - Dark Spirit Luna from your hand!!"

"Although the Skeleton King's attack power will drop to 1500 due to the loss of one skeleton in the graveyard, Dark Spirit Luna is a monster with a special effect: it can deal 500 damage to the opponent each time we have a Standby Phase!!"

Luna, the Dark Elf

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Demon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1600/1200]

The moment she heard about this special effect, the perceptive Peacock Dance instantly realized something: "500 per round, and only 1500 LP is left in the Whirlwind... Could it be?!"

"Heh heh!" Antid slammed down a spell card and announced loudly, "That's right, the card I'm about to activate is—the Quick-Play Spell Card—Time Leap!!"

"This card will advance the turn count by three consecutive turns, and each time I pass through my preparation phase, Dark Elf Luna will deal 500 damage to you!!"

"In other words, under the effect of Time Leap, Dark Elf Luna will deal a total of 1500 points of effect damage to you!!"

"You Che, you've already lost!!!"

Everyone: !!!

Time flies...

This isn't a particularly powerful card, but it can be combined with other cards to create unexpected tactics.

Yugi and Yugi Muto often use this card to launch unique offensives.

And now, Antid actually used this card as a means to end the game?!

First came a direct attack with 2500 attack power, followed by 1500 effect damage. This was a perfectly calculated OTK (One-Turn Kill) kill!

Magical light shone across the battlefield. Just as the time-traveling technique was about to kill Youche, Youche suddenly flipped open the cover card, and a divine light descended, directly shattering Antid's time-traveling technique.

"Counter Trap Card activated! Divine Judgment!!" Yu Che shouted, "Pay half of your LP to negate and destroy the effect of Time Leap!!!"

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Cruise control, LP: 1500→750

"Bang!"

The shattered cards scattered in the holy light, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Youche had successfully countered the opponent's combo.

However, even after blocking this round, Youche only had 750 health points left.

Antid summoned the Dark Elf Luna knowing the effects of Armed Dragon Lv7, which means he had a countermeasure. If Yuche cannot quickly dismantle his board, the threat of death will soon be upon him again...

Chapter 244 Antidote's Promise

In just a few rounds, the duel between Yugi and Antidote had already reached a fever pitch, while on the other side of the battlefield, the battle between Yugi and Rafael was equally intense.

A sudden, loud explosion rang out on the other side, startling everyone who was caught off guard. Smoke billowed around Wang Yang, and the powerful impact turned his face deathly pale.

"How is it, nameless Pharaoh?" Rafiru said coldly under the cover of night. "You seem to be in a very anxious mood, but the more anxious you are, the less hope you have of defeating me. In the end, this anxiety will completely devour you, and your fate will be the same as everyone else in this world."

As they were talking, endless bat demons flew down from the sky, and a series of screams came from the distance of the city.

Enduring the pain coursing through his body, Wang Yang gritted his teeth and roared angrily, "Now... countless souls have already been stolen..."

"Even your partner—Baron—has now become a sacrifice to Orichalcos!!"

"Are you really completely unmoved?!"

Rafiru's expression remained cold as he replied indifferently, "I've said it before: if there were only humans in this world, nothing could be accomplished. That's why fate exists."

"In order to understand one's destiny, one must accept it and dedicate oneself to it."

“I also want to know about the existence of fate…” Rafiru said, gently closing his eyes, then slowly opening them again, “That’s why I’m so willing to offer up my body and soul so generously.”

"Tsk!" King Yu shook his head and questioned, "Why...why must duelists like you submit to Daz's so-called destiny! Our souls are definitely not meant for such things!!"

“Further words are useless, Pharaoh,” Rafael said obsessively. “Destiny has begun to work, and the era has begun to shift to the next phase…”

"And no one can stop the wheels of this era!"

"Soon, Lord Daz will open the great gate of destiny, and then all the answers will be known."

Listening to Rafael's words, Yugi clenched his fists tightly. Through the last duel, he realized that Rafael was actually a true duelist, but what he couldn't understand was why such a tenacious person would believe Daz's pointless rhetoric.

Rafael's obstinacy fueled Yugi's growing rage, and faced with a world slowly veerging towards destruction, he had to end this duel as quickly as possible!

"Rafael... since fate is indeed a shackle, then I will sever it through a duel!!" Yugi roared coldly, waving a card from his hand. "This world will absolutely not perish!!"

"My turn!! Draw a card!!"

"Continuous Spell Card activated—Yomi Tengyo!!!"

"Snap—"

The moment the card struck, the Orichalcos barrier where the two were located was immediately shrouded in a thick aura of darkness. Then, both Yugi and Rafael vanished from everyone's sight.

The moment the black mist dissipated, a powerful burst of energy exploded between the two battlefields, attempting to destroy all the monsters on both sides!

Wang Yang shouted, "The effect of the Underworld Wheel destroys all monsters on the field, and then banishes all monsters from both players' decks from the Duel! After that, each player can Special Summon one monster from their Graveyard each turn, regardless of the conditions!!"

However, just as that energy descended from the sky and struck the battlefield, something unexpected happened to Yugi. Despite the destructive effect, only his own Dark Magician Girl was destroyed, while Raphiel's ace on the field—Guardian Desses—still stood proudly.

Rafiru said, "The effect of Guardian Desses can revive a card on the battlefield by discarding one card from your hand."

"What...!" King Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Rafael, as far as I know, you only have monster cards in your hand, right?"

"In the previous duel, you were determined to protect the monster and prevent it from going to the graveyard no matter what."

"But now, you're sacrificing a crucial monster card for that monster already corrupted by the Orichalcos barrier?!"

Rafael said coldly, "That's not my idea, it's Desce's idea."

Everyone was taken aback.
