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

"Smack!"

The moment the card fell, another halo of light composed of runes descended, adding another layer of protection to the original Orichalcos barrier!

The oppressive feeling, more than twice as strong as before, made You Che and Wang Yang gasp for breath.

After the double barrier was completed, the light of the Orichalcos barrier changed from an eerie emerald color to a pale blue-green.

Daz continued, "Activate the effect of Orichalcos Double Barrier once per turn, restoring LP to our side by an amount equal to the number of monsters on our field multiplied by 500!!"

"I have ten monsters on my field, so I will immediately recover 5,000 LP!!!"

Streams of blue-green light surged from the monsters and poured into Daz's body. He enjoyed the exhilarating feeling, and his heterochromatic eyes revealed an even more terrifying madness.

"Beep beep beep beep————————————"

Daz, LP: 3500 → 8500

After completing these steps, Daz ended his turn.

With a grave expression, King Yu gritted his teeth, drew a card, and shouted, "Daz, your effects are indeed powerful!!"

"However, no matter how terrifying your evil power is, I and my cards will utterly destroy you!!"

"My turn, draw a card!!"

"Magic Card - The Treasure Card from Heaven!!"

"All duelists, replenish your hands to six cards!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Double Spell, discard one card from your hand, and copy Soul Crossing from the Graveyard!!"

"Through the effect of Soul Intertwining, you can sacrifice Mirror Knight and Orichalcos on your field!!"

"Superior Summoning—Dark Magician!!!"

Dark Magician

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2100]

"Activate the Spell Card again—Spreading Wave!!" King Yu shouted. "Paying 1000 Life Points, this card allows one Level 7 or higher Spellcaster monster on my field to attack each of my opponent's monsters once this turn!!"

"Go!! Dark Magician!!"

"Destroy all the enemies!!!"

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Wang Yang, LP: 4000→3000

"Drink up!"

The summoned dark mage swung his staff like a spear, then roared and unleashed a devastating wave of destruction upon the enemy!

However, faced with this offensive, Daz calmly sneered, "Finally starting to get anxious? But, nameless Pharaoh, you're still too naive after only living for three thousand years!!"

"The second effect of Orichalcos Double Barrier - When an opponent's monster launches an attack, send one monster on your field to the Graveyard to negate that attack, and destroy the attacking monster!!"

"Sacrifice a Mirror Knight derivative to destroy the Dark Magician!!!"

"Bang—"

This was a destruction that approached the power of the rules. The terrifying barrier suddenly emitted a bright light, and after sacrificing a mirror image, it directly blasted the Dark Mage into pieces.

"Hmph!" Wang Yang said coldly, "Since the last round, I've already had a general understanding of the strength of your cards!!"

"Summoning monsters without setting up magical traps is a mistake Jonouchi would make as a beginner. As Daz's leader, your duel shouldn't be this rudimentary!!"

"Since you've used all your areas to summon monsters, you must have additional card effects to deal with the enemy's attacks!!"

"Therefore, this destruction was entirely within my expectations!!"

"Due to the effect of the spread effect, monsters other than the targeted monster cannot attack during the turn this card is activated, so I will end the Battle Phase immediately!!"

"And in the second main phase, I will sacrifice the Chaos Warrior to perform a superior summoning—Dark Magician Girl!!"

Dark Magician Girl

【Six Star】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2000/1700]

"I'll activate the Spell Card again—Monster Reborn! Special Summon Dark Magician from my Graveyard!!" Yugi played his ace and shouted, "Finally, this card!!"

"Black Blast Magic!!!"

"If both Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl are on my field at the same time, destroy all cards on my opponent's field!!!"

"despair------------"

The two wands intertwined, and the dark purple black magic energy was amplified to its extreme in an instant. With a deafening roar, all the destructive power was unleashed, and the exploding magic energy instantly engulfed Daz's entire battlefield!

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

The ground trembled violently amidst the explosion.

But both King and Yuzuru knew very well that such an attack could not seriously damage Daz.

Although the Mirror Knight's summons has left the battlefield, the shield tokens it bestowed upon the remaining six Mirror Knights still exist, and those tokens will protect these mirror images from the damage they just suffered.

Amidst the billowing smoke, Daz's fearless, contemptuous laugh echoed, and at the same time, three enormous figures replaced the shattered Orichalcos weapon.

In the center stands a five-meter-tall bronze idol, flanked by two arms that float with mysterious energy. The moment this ancient and mysterious monster appeared, it brought a strong sense of oppression to Yuzuru and Wang Yang. Although its attack power was not high, the faint divine light emanating from its body sent chills down their spines.

【Orichalcos Sinolos】

[Ten Stars]

[Dark Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

"Beep beep beep beep——————————"

Orichalcos Sinolos, Attack Power: ? → 2100

“Hehehe~” Daz chuckled sinisterly, “This kind of attack power is not enough, but it is obvious that Yuzuru has a card that can perfectly deal with the Orichalcos.”

"In that case, we have no choice but to summon this magnificent statue."

"Orichalcos's effect: When this card leaves the field, Special Summon Orichalcos from your hand or Deck!!"

"Orichalcos's original attack power is equal to the damage absorbed by the Orichalcos Weapon!!"

"And if Orichalcos is successfully Special Summoned, Special Summon the Left Arm and Right Arm of Orichalcos from your hand or Deck!!"

"As long as these two monsters are on the field, Orichalcos will not be destroyed!!"

"Hehe, although these two statue arms are only three-star monsters with zero attack and defense, I still have four Mirror Knights in my front row who survived by abandoning their shields. As long as they exist, you will not be able to attack these puppets in the back row!!"

"Tsk..." Wang Yang frowned. "Set one card, end your turn!! Yu Che, I've already shattered those Mirror Knights' shields, now it's up to you, Armed Dragon!!"

"Alright!!" Yu Che waved his arm, continuing the offensive that Wang Yang had launched. "My turn, draw a card!"

"Activate the effect of Armed Dragon: Thunder Lv7! Discard 1 monster card from your hand and send it to the Graveyard to Special Summon Armed Dragon: Thunder Lv10 from your Deck!!!"

Armed Dragon raised its arms, drawing all the lightning towards itself. With a deafening roar, Armed Dragon·Lightning Lv7 absorbed all the power it received and evolved into its final form—Lv10!

As the blinding lightning gradually subsided, a towering golden dragon, comparable in stature to the divine puppet, stood proudly, its magnificent golden wings, large enough to cover half the barrier, unfurling in the storm!

【Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv10】

[Ten Stars]

[Wind/Thunder]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2000]

"Next, activate the Spell Card!" Yu Che shouted, "Armed Dragon's Thunder Strike!!"

"Target one Armed Dragon monster on your field, and Special Summon its name card from your Deck, ignoring all conditions!!"

"And the effect of Armed Dragon Lightning Lv10 is that as long as this card's ATK is 1 or higher, its card name is treated as Armed Dragon Lv10!!"

"Come on!! Armored Dragon Lv10!!"

"Although the monster Special Summoned by Armed Dragon's Thunder Strike cannot attack directly, with the destructive power of Armed Dragon Lv10, I can crush all the monsters on your field!!!"

【Armed Dragon Lv10】

[Ten Stars]

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2000]

Yu Che discarded a card from his hand and shouted, "Activate the effect of Armed Dragon Lv10! Discard one card from your hand and destroy all monsters on your opponent's field!!!"

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

The shattered cards transformed into energy and flew into the eyes of the Armed Dragon Lv10. A deafening roar echoed across the battlefield once more, followed by gusts of wind and a burst of exploding dragon breath that swept towards Daz!

"Useless! Swiftness!!" Daz sneered. "Orichalcos and its left and right arms won't be destroyed by this effect. You'll only end up destroying those Mirror Knights!!"

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

"Splash splash splash splash————————"

The sound of shattering glass rang out, and after the sweeping dragon breath subsided, only the statue remained.

Yu Che's gaze turned cold: "Then, I will crush your monster through battle!! Entering battle phase, Armed Dragon Lv10 attacks Sinoros's left arm!!!"

Daz shouted, "Activate the effect of the Orichalcos Double Barrier, send Sinolos's left arm into the graveyard, nullify this attack, and destroy Armed Dragon Lv10!!"

"Bang!"

"Continue the attack!!" Youche announced. "Dark Armed Dragon, attack Sinoros's right arm!!!"

"No difference!!" Daz waved his wide sleeves, "Release Sinoros's right arm, nullify and destroy the Dark Armed Dragon's attack!!!"

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

Two explosions rang out in quick succession, and in just an instant, Youche lost both of its giant dragons.
