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

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2100]

Yu Che continued to wave his cards and shouted, "It's not over yet!! Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card - Rush! This turn, Dark Magician's ATK will increase by 700!!"

"Activate the Spell Card again—Double Attack!!"

"Discard one card from your hand. This turn, Dark Magician can attack twice!!"

"Beep beep beep beep——————————"

Dark Magician, Attack Power: 2500 → 3200

An eight-star monster was thrown into the graveyard by Yuche, and then the monster turned into energy on the Black Magician's Staff.

Yu Che announced loudly, "Enter battle phase!! Dark Magician!! Attack Gravity Dragon and Triceratops!!!"

"Bang bang ————————————"

A powerful surge of dark magic energy erupted, instantly pulverizing both monsters!

Since there were no face cards to use as traps, Makino Soichiro could only watch helplessly as his monster was destroyed.

The aftershocks of the explosion rippled towards him, causing some combat damage. Although the damage wasn't high, it was still considerable for someone with only 2500 LP.

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Soichiro Makino, LP: 2500→1700→1350

"What a pity!!"

Jonouchi, who had just lost a duel, was not too discouraged. At this moment, he was feeling sorry for Yuzuriha:

"Just one hundred points of damage short!!"

"Otherwise, Youche could have used that Continuous Spell Card to finish them off!!"

"Huh?" Honda, an outsider, asked, "But isn't half of the Dark Magician's attack power now over 1350?"

At this moment, Wang Yang also came to the audience and explained: "No, the effect of Rush to increase attack power is before the end of the turn, while the effect of Summoning Exosome is at the end of the turn. So when Yu-Che activated that card's effect, Dark Magician's attack power had already dropped back to its original value."

After hearing this, several dueling enthusiasts who were not very familiar with the topic suddenly understood.

After crushing the opponent's monster, Yusuke sets a face-down card and ends the turn.

He did not choose to unleash the Dark Magician because it would be too risky to do so without being able to kill his opponent.

After several rounds, he was almost certain that Makino Souichirou, who had used a series of dragon monsters, would use the Five Divine Dragons as his trump card, and what he had to do next was to prevent the appearance of that terrifying giant dragon!

Chapter 273 Dark Horus Dragon

Having discovered the truth, Seto Kaiba begins secretly planning the capture of Sieg Lloyd. He doesn't know who provided the crucial evidence, but he must immediately plan this operation so that the tournament can proceed normally.

In the final match of the round of 16, Soichiro Makino, the mastermind who secretly betrayed Sieg Lloyd, was secretly smiling as he pretended to adjust his sleeves and secretly pressed a button on his watch.

Nothing unusual happened in the park, but Makino Soichiro had already achieved half of his goal.

"Whoosh——————————————"

He drew his card, glanced at the back row of the game, then slammed down a magic card, saying:

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Angel's Charity, draw three cards from your Deck, and then send two of them to the Graveyard!"

"Next, activate this—Dragon Mirror!!"

"This card can be used as materials from monsters on your field and in your graveyard to Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type monster from your Extra Deck!!"

A golden mirror exuding an evil aura appeared from the light, and at that moment, everyone in the audience held their breath.

"The Mirror of the Dragon?!"

"Could it be that guy is going to summon the Five Divine Dragons?!"

"Very likely! With a monster on the field, in the graveyard, and the two cards he just discarded from his hand, he's probably already collected all the materials!"

"The Five Divine Dragons have an attack power of 5,000, and the Dark Magician has an attack power of 2,500... You Che only has 1800 health points, he can't withstand it at all!!"

On the battlefield, Youche's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, everything this guy did was paving the way for the Five Divine Dragons!!

He wanted to summon the five dragons at this moment and then defeat himself through the "Beat Down" tactic, but unfortunately, his own face-down card had been prepared for a long time!

"Trap Card activated—Spell Interference Array!!" Yu Che shouted, revealing a face-down card. "Discard one card from your hand to negate and destroy the activation of Dragon Mirror!!"

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

A dark golden magic circle appeared out of thin air, instantly breaking Makino Souichirou's spell. The shattered golden dragon mirror transformed into wisps of purple energy that floated upwards, and the faintly visible dragon figure also faded away with the wind...

"Yosh!!" Jonouchi exclaimed excitedly, "That guy doesn't have many cards left. As long as we stop him from summoning the Five Divine Dragons, Yuzuriha will win!!"

Everyone looked relieved.

From the very beginning of the duel, everyone could see that the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated. His reasoning in the duel and his analysis of the player's habits were both superb.

The Five Divine Dragons themselves have no resistance to magic traps, so they shouldn't be difficult monsters to deal with. However, since this duelist has done this, it's highly likely that he has a sure-fire way to win and can stop any of Youche's backup plans.

But now that the Five Divine Dragons' debut has been nipped in the bud, it will be difficult for him to implement the tactic of winning with high attack power.

Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

But when his ace was shattered, Makino Soichiro simply shook his head and laughed: "Tsk tsk tsk, Duel King, is your judgment limited to this?"

Youche was taken aback.

Makino Soichiro smiled and said, "I know you've already guessed my identity, and I also know you'll try to target the Five Divine Dragons and the Dragon Mirror."

"But didn't you notice?"

"The monsters I use aren't just dragons; they all share another characteristic: they're all dark-attribute!!"

"To put it bluntly, summoning the five divine dragons was just a ploy to trick you into revealing your face-down card, and now you've fallen for it!!"

"Then this duel should end!!"

These words caused everyone's expression to change drastically.

In the arena where thousands watched, Makino Souichirou waved his card and said proudly:

"Spell Card activated—Monster Resurrection!!"

"Special Summon Dark Horus Dragon from the Graveyard!!"

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

The shattered earth rapidly cracked, each fissure radiating a terrifying purple light. In an instant, as if a solar eclipse had occurred, the entire dueling arena was shrouded in a dreadful darkness!

Amidst the eerie blue flames, Horus, a dark form that is half dragon and half bird, roared as it crawled out of the ground. It crushed the silver-white Anka Cross with a single claw and stared at its opponent with murderous intent through its demonic eyes!

Dark Horus Dragon

[Eight Stars]

[Dark Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/1800]

"What?!"

The terrifying monster made Wang Yang and the others gasp in shock.

They vividly remembered Horus's power—a terrifying monster capable of sealing all of an enemy's spell cards. Almost none of them had ever seen this dark form of Horus Dragon, but judging from the connection between Armed Dragon and Dark Armed Dragon, this monster's destructive power must be extraordinary!

"Summon in Attack Position—Dark Dragon King." Makino Souichirou sneered, "Without any face-down cards, are you ready to die, Yuzuriha?"

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

Another dark-attribute dragon flew out, roaring fiercely incessantly!

Dark Dragon King

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1500/800]

Standing behind the two demonic dragons, Makino Souichirou shouted, "Dark Horus Dragon!! Attack the Black Magician!! Dark Dragon King!! Direct Attack!!!"

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

A burst of dark purple demonic flames descended from the sky, and the billowing demonic energy instantly engulfed the Black Mage!

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

With no cards left in his back row, once Dark Magician is destroyed, he will be killed by a direct attack from the Dark Dragon King!

Just as the group was feeling hopeless, Tactics, wielding a golden gun and shield, leaped out from the graveyard and blocked some of the Dark Mage's attacks!

"When I activated the Magic Interference Array, I sent this Shield Warrior to the Graveyard!" Yu Che said. "While this card is in the Graveyard, you can banish it from the Duel to prevent one of your monsters from being destroyed by battle during a single battle!!"

This sudden reversal gave Jonouchi and the others a glimmer of hope.

But Makino Souichirou didn't seem to care at all: "But you still have to suffer the damage from the battle~"

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

Before the words were even finished, a simulated shockwave of 500 points hurtled towards the game!

Having experienced countless battles, he naturally wouldn't take these 500 seriously. Moreover, as long as the Dark Magician wasn't destroyed, the Dark Dragon King wouldn't be able to launch any further attacks.

In Yu Che's view, Makino Soichiro's offensive was limited to this.

But the moment that demonic flame blasted against his body, You Che felt as if his heart was about to explode. The powerful impact was more terrifying than any duel he had ever experienced before!

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Cruise control, LP: 1800→1300

"Ughhhhh!!!"

Even with the power of the Sleeping Giant Gudu, Youche couldn't help but let out a scream.
