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

Chapter 276 The Disruptive Nemesis—The Harpy

In an instant...

Five-headed dragons?!

Seto Kaiba's performance amazed the entire audience. His precise control over the cards thrilled everyone present, eliciting continuous cheers.

"Idiot!!" Sieg Lloyd roared, "Valkyrie Brunhilde's attack power increases with the number of Dragon-type monsters on the field!!"

"When you summoned five dragon monsters, her attack power also increased from 1800 to 3300!!"

"Such attack power is unmatched by any of your monsters!!"

"And since you can no longer activate spell cards, you also have no means to increase the monster's combat power!!"

"Beep beep beep beep——————————"

Valkyrie Brunhilde, Attack Power: 1800 → 3300

As the five giant dragons roared, the sword in the hands of the majestic Valkyrie also shone brightly, its sharp holy light transforming into razor-sharp sword energy, slicing down any enemy who dared to invade!

"Idiot? Are you introducing yourself?" Seto Kaiba scoffed disdainfully.

“What did you say?” Sieg Lloyd’s face darkened.

Seto Kaiba sneered, "You can't even calculate this kind of killing move properly? You dare call yourself a genius?"

"Fighting against trash like you makes me want to vomit!!"

"If this fight isn't ended quickly, my suit will probably turn as ugly as your face!!"

"Whoosh——————————————————"

Seto Kaiba pointed arrogantly and shouted:

"Entering battle phase!!"

"Emerald Dragon!!"

"Attack Valkyrie Brunhilde!!"

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

A storm of emerald crystals erupted from between the dragon's jaws. Facing the enemy's fierce attack, Valkyrie Brunhilde swung her sword, unleashing a beam of holy light that successfully countered her opponent!

"Boom!!!!!"

The card shattered, and a powerful shockwave rushed toward Seto Kaiba, but he paid no heed.

The slight combat damage didn't deplete his LP; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit to continue the assault!

"It's not over yet!!" Seto Kaiba continued, "Due to the absence of one Dragon-type monster on the field, Valkyrie Brunhilde's attack power has decreased by 300!!"

"I choose to attack with Blue-Eyes White Dragon. If the attack power is equal, both monsters will be destroyed simultaneously!!"

"Explosive Gale Bullet of Destruction!!!"

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

A beam of silvery-white light suddenly shot out, and a strong gale transformed into a raging tornado. Valkyrie Brunhilde fought with all her might, slashing at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon once more, but this time, not only the enemy disappeared, but she herself also vanished.

The magnificent armor shattered, and the silver-white holy sword broke in two.

At this moment, Sieg Lloyd has no monsters on his field, only one Continuous Spell Card - Spellbinder!

He found this one and only card utterly ridiculous; if it weren't for it, Seto Kaiba wouldn't have had the LP to pay for his magic cards...

Upon closer reflection, Sieg Lloyd realized he didn't seem to have a better option, since he hadn't used any life points to revive the monster in that situation.

Ultimately, Seto Kaiba proved to be the superior fighter in this duel...

The monster that served as a shield shattered into pieces, and Seto Kaiba coldly issued his final ultimatum.

The remaining monsters launched an attack, unleashing massive damage that completely ended the farce!

The duel came to an end, and amidst the cheers of countless spectators, Seto Kaiba waved his hand, ordering his men to take Sieg Lloyd away.

"Heh~" Sieg Lloyd chuckled smugly just before leaving the dueling arena. "You think that's all, Kaiba? You may have won the duel, but I was always the one who held the lead."

Several burly men in suits escorted him away, and Sieg Lloyd glanced at his brother Leon as he passed through the crowd.

Brother...did you lose...?

Leon's eyes were filled with conflict and sadness.

What should he do next?

Using that card could destroy the entire dueling world...

But if they don't use it, the brother's goal cannot be achieved, and the Lloyd family will fall into decline and depravity...

Looking at the deck on the Duel Disk, Leon bit his lip, making an incredibly difficult decision.

At this point, only one match remained in the quarterfinals, namely Vivian Wang versus Peacock Dance.

That magic card called "Soaring Dragon Dance" is no ordinary card. The short-term boost to combat power is just a minor matter; the four Dragon-type monster cards that ended up in the graveyard are the truly terrifying thing!

Peacock Dance blocked Vivian Wang's powerful attack, but the woman in the cheongsam then used various means to activate the graveyard resources, and the ghosts of the dragons shrouded the entire duel arena. The situation seemed to be turning against Peacock Dance.

"What's wrong? Weren't you feeling pretty smug just now?" Vivian Wang, now in control, retorted. "If you can't win, why not just admit defeat? It's not the first time for you, is it, you blonde?"

Kong Quewu's face darkened, her eyes filled with anger.

She didn't care about the boring nickname, but she was furious at Vivian Wong for trampling on her dueling dignity.

Vivian Wong had obviously investigated her beforehand and knew that she had surrendered in the Duel Kingdom tournament, but in fact, that kind of surrender and retreating without a fight are two completely different things!

"Ha!" Kong Quewu sneered, "You think you're so great just because you've gained a little advantage?"

"It's not that I lack the strength to retaliate; I'm simply gathering the power for a fatal blow!!"

"Now, I've drawn that card!!"

"Let me show you, a duelist who wields dragons, the power of the phoenix!!"

"My turn!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Kaleidoscope: Magnificent Clone!!"

"Duplicate my Harpy Girl into three!!"

"And with this, I activate this spell card—Harpie Lady: Phoenix Formation!!!"

"This effect can only be activated when there are three or more Harpie Girls on my field. Destroy the monsters on your opponent's field equal to the number of Harpie Girls on your field!!"

"After that, inflict LP damage equal to the highest ATK value of the opponent's monsters!!"

"You have three monsters on your field, and this card can destroy them all!!"

"At the same time, after that monster with 2800 attack power is destroyed, your LP will be completely depleted!!!"

"What?!" Vivian Wang exclaimed in shock.

She thought her Sky Soaring Dragon Dance was powerful enough, but the Phoenix Formation card played by Peacock Dance seemed to be no weaker than her own card!

Destroying monsters also inflicts damage to the opponent's life points...

I...lost?!

"Liao——————————————————"

A piercing, sharp cry rang out, and the three harpy women simultaneously soared into the sky, transforming into a fiery phoenix. The phoenix's fiery breath descended, shattering all of Vivian Wang's cards on the field. The embers of destruction scattered towards her, emptying her remaining LP.

"Yoshi!!" Jonouchi exclaimed excitedly, "We won! We won!!"

Kyoko grinned mischievously, "Why are you so enthusiastic now? You were acting all nonchalant just now."

Jonouchi snorted, "Mai's one of our own, of course we should cheer her on!"

"However, I wish I could make it to the semifinals too."

"That way, all four finalists will be people everyone knows."

Upon hearing what Jonouchi said, everyone realized that three of the four finalists seemed to be their own people, leaving only the mysterious little boy—Leon.

The thought of the little boy brought worry to the faces of Yugi Muto, Rebecca, and Keihei Kaiba.

Seto Kaiba said that this duel would pit Yugi Muto against Leon.

Although the dueling world will not be affected whether Leon uses that terrible card or not, if he, who is still young, really does such a thing, he will probably have a knot in his heart for the future.

Some people said they wanted to try to persuade Leon.

But after Zig Lloyd was arrested, the little boy disappeared without a trace.

Everyone was conflicted about the child.

They could clearly sense that Leon truly loved dueling, and no one wanted such a talented duelist to bear such immense guilt at such a young age.

Before long, the semi-finals officially began.

This round of competition will determine the final champion, who will not only receive a huge prize from the KC Group but also the title of Duel King!

As agreed before the match, Wang Yang's opponent was Leon, while Yu Che would fight against Mai.

After a period of rest, You Che's mental strength has recovered somewhat, but he still needs to be careful when facing the Peacock Dance, which is in full swing.

"Ah, those were the days~" Mai flexed her wrists and laughed lightly, "It must have been a long time since our last duel~"

You Che nodded: "Speaking of which, that all goes back to the Duel Kingdom."

Peacock Mai smirked: "Hmph~ Although everyone knows each other's tactics, no one will take this duel lightly. After all, I, Peacock Mai, also want to win the title of Duel King!"

Yu Che unfolded his deck and replied, "Then let's go!!"

"duel!!!!"

Cruiser, LP: 4000

Peacock Dance, LP: 4000

"My first move! Draw!" Yu Che's first card in his hand was a Field Spell Card. "Activate Field Spell - Disruptive Land!!"

"Activate the Spell Card Angel's Charity again, draw three cards from your deck, and then discard two more."

"Next, activate the effect of Disruption Land to send one Disruption card from your hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 Disruption Monster from the Graveyard."

"I choose to discard the Disruption Spell and take this opportunity to add one Disruption Yellow, one Disruption Green, and one Disruption Black from my deck to my hand."
