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

Daz grinned maliciously: "What? Still want to continue? Do you really have the guts to take my Orichalcos Sinoros down with your Armored Dragon Lightning Lv10?!"

Yu Che set down the card and said, "No, I didn't need to do that at all. After losing its left and right arms, that monster's resistance has completely disappeared!!"

"I choose to face down my card and then end my turn!!"

"And during your draw phase, activate the effect of Armed Dragon Raiden Lv10, discard one card from your hand to destroy Orichalcos Sinoros, and increase Armed Dragon Raiden Lv10's ATK by 1000!!!"

This was almost a perfect solution, but the moment the effect of the control was activated, Daz couldn't help but burst into wild laughter: "Hahahahahahaha!!"

"As Gudu's messenger, you're just as stupid as it is, Youche!!"

"When my turn comes, the spell cards in my hand can be activated!!"

"Therefore, when you activate the effect of Armed Dragon Lightning Lv10, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card - Offering to the Dead!!"

"At the cost of skipping the next turn's draw phase, I will directly destroy Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv10!!!"

Countless beams of death light swept towards Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv10, while Daz's laughter echoed continuously within the barrier. But suddenly, he noticed Youche's eyes—a... fearless sneer?!

"Daz, since I dared to risk keeping your monster until this turn, I must have a way to prevent any accidents!" Yuzuru played the trap card he had set up in the previous round and shouted, "When Armed Dragon Lightning Lv10 is destroyed, I activate Terror Strike!!"

"Eliminate the two monsters from the graveyard and reduce Orichalcos's attack power to zero!!"

"I know exactly why you didn't dare activate the effects of your left and right arms last time, because once you activated the ability of those two monsters to increase their attack power, Orichalcos Sinos's attack power would become zero!!"

"However, Orichalcos Sinolos has a negative effect: it is destroyed when its attack power reaches zero!!"

"Although Armed Dragon was destroyed by your spell card, in response, I will also erase your ace card!!"

"Disappear!! Orichalcos Sinolos!!!"

Chapter 252 The Alliance of the Wanderer and the King: Infinite Loop

Relying on its information advantage, Yuche once again used targeted attacks to defeat Daz's monster.

A deafening explosion resounded, and the moment Orichalcos's attack power dropped to zero, the massive orbium golem shattered into countless fragments.

"Bang!"

As he watched the light dissipate, Daz's eyes flashed with coldness and hatred:

"Are they playing these little tricks again?"

"In that case, I will completely seal off your magical traps!!"

"Field Spell Card activated—Orichalcos Torritos!!!"

"Smack!!!!!"

Daz roared and slammed down a card emitting an eerie blue light. The entire temple began to tremble, and a third light pattern appeared amidst the intense radiance!

This card has successfully activated the third effect of the Orichalcos Barrier!

Upon entering its ultimate state, the Orichalcos Barrier shed its ancient emerald color and transformed into a sinister and terrifying azure. The six-pointed star pattern at the center of the evolved magic circle also began to change. When everything was ready, the terrifying dark pressure swept over everything, and even Yugi and Yugi were unable to withstand it for a time.

"Tsk..." Wang Yang frowned, his face turning pale. "The dark energy of the barrier has become even stronger..."

As he spoke, the millennium-old building blocks on his chest shone with a golden light, wiping away most of his stress and pain.

Meanwhile, Youche, with the blessing of Sleeping Giant Gudu, gradually adapted to the pressure that could almost destroy a person's will.

"Hehehe~" Daz laughed contemptuously, having expected this. "This is the ultimate form of the Orichalcos Barrier! It's quite an achievement that you can withstand this kind of pressure."

"However, how will you deal with the duel that follows?!"

"The moment the Orichalcos Triple Barrier appears, the monsters on my field will gain an additional ability: they will be immune to all of my opponent's spells and traps!!"

"You Che, it's completely impossible for you to pull those tricks anymore!!"

"Spell Card activated—Soul Replenishment!!" Daz swung the card, launching his counterattack against the two. "With this card, I Special Summon dead monsters from the Graveyard back to the field. For each monster resurrected, I pay 500 LP as a price!!"

"However, I also have the Orichalcos Triple Barrier on my field. As long as I activate the second layer's effect, this damage will be nothing at all!!!"

“Ping————————————————————”

A faint light of soul emanated from Daz's body and slowly burned across the battlefield. Soon, the dead monsters were resurrected on the battlefield once again.

Monsters emerged from the burning flames. Apart from Orichalcos Sinos, which could not be revived, and its left and right arms, all the monsters that had died in battle returned to the field, including the two monsters Orichalcos Diablos that were sacrificed by Ritual Spell Cards.

【Orichalcos Diablos】

【Four stars】

[Fire Attribute/Fire Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 1500/0]

Daz smirked and said, "Heh, although Mirror Knight's Call has returned to the battlefield, its ability to summon Mirror Knights can only be activated when a Ritual Spell Card is used. You've managed to escape unscathed~"

"Don't joke around, Daz," Yugi said coldly. "Even if you can summon Mirror Knight, you won't be able to enter the battle phase this turn due to the Soul Replenishment effect."

“That’s true,” Daz scoffed, “but don’t think that just because your monsters can’t be attacked, they’ll be safe!”

"Continuous Spell Card activated - Twin Archer Centaur!!"

"During your Main Phase, choose one monster from each player's field and guess the coin's head or tail. If you guess correctly, destroy the monster your opponent controls and inflict LP damage equal to that monster's ATK. If you guess incorrectly, destroy the monster you control and inflict LP damage equal to that monster's ATK."

"Youcha, although I said I would deal with you, this troublesome guy, first, but you don't have any monsters on your field anymore. In that case, let Dark Magician and Orichalcos be the two ends of the scale!!"

A divine radiance descended upon the center of the battlefield, and a two-bodied centaur, each body wielding a bow and arrow, flew down. One bow was aimed at Daz's own monster, which possessed the ability to revive infinitely, while the other was aimed at Yugi's ace on the field.

The Dark Magician's attack power is as high as 2500...

If Daz succeeds in destroying it, not only will Yugi suffer a lot of damage, but he will also lose an ace.

Daz sneered and pointed to the silver coin above the head of the twin-arched centaur, "I choose, heads!!"

"bite------------------"

The silver coin was launched high into the air from the center of the "balance scales," spun rapidly several times in the air, and then fell back down. A reflection swept across it, and what was finally revealed was the symbol that represented the reverse side!

Wang Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Daz, "Hmph, then only your own monster will be destroyed. Orichalcos Giant's attack power will increase by 500 due to its own effect, and under the blessing of the Orichalcos Barrier, its attack power will increase by another 500 points. Daz, prepare to reap what you sow!!"

"Whoosh————————————————"

The taut bowstring shrieked, and the arrow, radiating divine light, shattered the Orichalcos giant in one blow. The destructive energy did not dissipate after the card disappeared; instead, it transformed into a powerful shockwave that blasted towards Daz!

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

Under the triple barrier of Orichalcos, the impact on anyone would be hundreds of times greater than before, yet even so, the damage of up to 1400 only caused Daz to bleed slightly from the corner of his mouth.

"Beep beep beep beep——————————"

Daz, LP: 8500 → 7100

After the explosion, the shattered cards reformed, and the Orichalcos roared and revived, its attack power increasing slightly.

Daz wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed, "This damage is nothing to me. Besides, when the Orichalcos is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, his resurrection ability will be triggered!"

"Since it has been resurrected twice, its attack power will reach 1900!!"

"If I cannot enter the combat phase, then my turn ends after I set two cards face down."

"Right now, I have four shield monsters in my front row. You must destroy them before you can attack my Orichalcos Vessel in my back row. But no matter how you attack, it's useless because the Orichalcos Vessel will store all the damage I take. Before long, I can summon a new Puppet!"

"At the same time, the Orichalcos Triple Barrier has given our monsters resistance to magic traps. As a result, the Dark Magician, who is good at using magic, has entered a period of decline, and the Armed Dragon, which has powerful effect destruction capabilities, has also been sacrificed one by one in the last turn."

"Pharaoh, Youcha, even now, do you still firmly believe you can defeat me?!"

An immense sense of oppression and a raging wind swept in at once.

It was Wang Yang's turn again, and he looked solemnly at the bizarre monster that kept regenerating.

With something like this stationed in the front, it's almost impossible to break through Daz's defense. However, with the resistance provided by the triple barrier, sacrificing it again or destroying the Orichalcum artifact in the back is extremely difficult!

hateful……

If only the God Cards were usable, with Ra's Winged Dragon in its phoenix form, those monsters could be easily burned to ashes!

Wang Yang gritted his teeth, thinking of the thousand-year-old stone slab frozen in ice, and how he had stepped into Daz's trap from that moment on. The anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.

But suddenly, in the instant he recalled those three God Cards, a familiar yet audacious thought surged into Yugi's mind.

Wait a moment?!

Infinite rebirth?!

In his memory, the roar of the Sky Dragon of Osiris kept echoing, and it seemed that Yugi had found a way to break the deadlock!

"Yuz!!" Yugi drew a card and shouted to the side, "We must combine all our power to defeat Daz!!"

"I don't have many cards left, so you'll be the one to lead the attack!!"

"My turn, I activate the Spell Card - Pot of Greed!!"

Draw two cards from your deck!

"Put two cards on the counter!!"

"Offering the Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl as sacrifices, I hereby summon—Pluto Dragon, the God of Judgment!!!"

A chaotic black aura enveloped the battlefield, and the two mages voluntarily sacrificed all their power, causing an even more powerful monster to descend!

Amidst the faint rumble of thunder, a towering dragonman emerged from an array woven from dark clouds and lightning. Stepping onto the battlefield, it coldly swept its crimson eyes across the enemy.

Pluto - God of Judgment

[Eight Stars]

[Dark Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2800/2500]

After summoning the monster, Yugi immediately ended his turn.

Watching this maneuver, Youche couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

What...what is the purpose of this?!

Pluto Dragon Judgment God is a monster more suited for Special Summoning because it possesses powerful abilities when Special Summoned using its own power. However, by summoning it in this way, not only was the more agile Dark Magician apprentice sacrificed, but Pluto Dragon Judgment God also became a blank card...

Just as Yuche was puzzled, King revealed the face-down card he had just set up and said, "During Yuche's draw phase, I activated the Continuous Trap Card - Coffin Seller. The effect of this card is that each time an opponent's monster is sent to the Graveyard, it inflicts 300 LP damage to the opponent!!"

I see!!

All doubts suddenly vanished at that moment!
