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

Dark Magician

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2100]

“However, the Dark Magician’s attack power is only 2500…” Leon said, looking at the ace monster, “while the witch Trud’s attack power is 3000.”

"Hmph~" Wang Yang revealed a smug smile, "But things will soon be different!"

"Activate Faceless Necromancer!!"

"Special Summon four monsters from your opponent's Graveyard to their field in Defense Position!!"

"And for every monster that is destroyed, the witch Trud's attack power will decrease by 600!!"

"Activate the Spell Card again—Spreading Wave!!"

"Pay 1000 Life Points to allow Spellcaster monsters of level 7 or higher to attack all of your opponent's monsters this turn!!"

"Go!! Dark Magician!!!"

"Drink up!"

Dark purple magical energy flared at the tip of the Dark Magician's staff. With a loud shout, the Dark Magician swung his staff forward, shattering the monsters on Leon's field into pieces. At the same time, the witch Trud's attack power plummeted at an alarming rate!

When the other four monsters were all defeated, the witch Trud's attack power was reduced to only 600 points!

At Yugi's command, the Dark Magician unleashed a devastating attack, ending the battle!

"boom!!!!!!!!"

Amidst the smoke of the explosion, Leon coughed a few times. When the dust settled, he looked back at his opponent.

Although he lost this duel, it was more meaningful to him than any of his previous battles.

"Yoshi!!"

"Well done!! Game!!"

"This way, the game qualifies for the finals!!"

"So, the final match will be a hit-and-run game!!"

"Huh? Wait a minute, the situation over there with Youche... doesn't seem too good..."

In the arena, only one final battle remains.

After deflecting Youche's attack, Kongque Wu laughed proudly, "Hmph hmph hmph~"

"Youche, do you have any way to destroy my monster now?"

"If you can't do that, then the Amazon archer will defeat you with high effect damage next round!!"

Looking at the primitive monster wielding a bow and arrow, Yuzuru closed his eyes briefly, pondering. Soon, he looked back at the battlefield and announced, "Set two cards face down!! End of turn!!"

Upon seeing this, everyone gasped in surprise and became worried for You Che.

Peacock Dance smirked: "Then get ready to take this!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Heavenly Treasure Card!"

"Both duelists now draw six cards from their hands!!"

"Use the magic card again—Monster Resurrection!"

"Resurrect the Harpy in Cyber ​​Bodysuit from the graveyard, and then Normal Summon—Amazon Chain Bearer!!"

"Activate the effect of Amazon Archer, sacrifice two monsters on my field to deal 1200 damage to the opponent!!!"

Chapter 281 Amazon's Crossbows

At the end of both duels, the same monster card appeared—Dark Magician!

Wang Yang's side ended the battle first, while Yu Che was about to face a potentially fatal attack!

The cold-eyed Amazon archer rested his hand on his longbow, waiting for the arrow to arrive so he could slay his enemy.

Meanwhile, the black mage Hermote, clad in red robes and with white hair, stood guard at the front of the formation, coldly staring at the enemy.

"My turn!" Peacock Dance shouted, and countless golden lights descended from the sky. With her hand fully replenished, she began her attack on Youche, "Attack position summon—Amazon Chain Keeper!!"

"Splash splash ...

A cold chain was stuck in the ground, and an agile Amazon warrior leaped out of the jungle. Judging from her attire and weapons, the Amazon trainee who had just been defeated by the Dark Mage seemed to be her apprentice.

[Amazon's Chains]

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1500/1300]

"Next, I activate the Spell Card—Monster Reborn!!" Mai continued, "Special Summon Harpie: Cyber ​​Bodysuit from the Graveyard!!"

The earth shattered, and the silver-white Anka Cross slowly rose!

This holy light brought hope to the Peacock Dance, but for You Che, it was the chilling defeat!

Everyone present stared wide-eyed, wondering what method the Duel King Yu Che planned to use to stop the Amazon Archer's effect!

Just as the Harpy was about to return to the battlefield, Yu Che suddenly flipped open the cover, blocking the increasingly bright holy light:

"Counter Trap Card - Divine Judgment!"

"Pay half of the LP to nullify and destroy the activation of Monster Resurrection!!"

"Dance, I don't need to control the Amazon archer's abilities."

"As long as you don't summon two monsters, the effect damage is meaningless to me!!"

"Bang!"

God's declaration shattered His holy light.

Peacock Dance frowned slightly and gave a faint, cold laugh:

"Hmph~ I knew you were hiding something in your game~"

"But activating Divine Judgment also reduced your health to below four hundred!!"

"Thanks to the treasure that just fell from the sky, I've gained more than just the resurrection of the dead; I also have other offensive methods!"

"Spell Card Activated—Amazon Curse Master!!"

"This turn, the original ATK of one Amazon monster on our field and one monster on the opponent's field are swapped!!"

"Under this card's effect, the Amazon Archer's attack power will become 2500, while the Dark Magician's attack power will be reduced to 1400!!"

"With the added effect of the Field Spell Card - Amazon Village, the Amazon Archer's attack power will eventually reach 2700!!"

"Entering battle phase!!"

"Amazonian Chain User, launch an attack on the Dark Magician!!!"

Ancient chants echoed through the primeval forest, and a strange witchcraft slowly unfolded, swapping the powers of the two targets.

With a "whoosh," a cold chain shot towards the weakened Dark Mage.

In the audience, Yuji couldn't help but exclaim, "Mai is really calm. Even in this situation, she still chose to use a monster with lower attack power to test the trap."

Wang Yang, who had just returned from the competition, nodded and said, "Mai is also a top-level duelist. Her understanding of dueling and her control over details are not weak. Now that the duel has reached a critical point, she will definitely not let her guard down."

Just as the sharp chain dart was about to hit the Dark Mage, a dazzling trap card was activated by Youche, and a high-speed swirling light kept swirling around him, as if it was overdrawing some kind of power!

"The instant you attack, I activate the Trap Card - High Speed ​​Chant!"

"At the cost of being unable to activate a Spell Card next turn, send one Spell Card from your hand to the Graveyard, and change that card's effect to be the same as that Spell Card!!"

This is an anime version of a trap card that Seto Kaiba frequently used in the original work. Due to its special ability, it was never made into a physical card in the OCG.

In the original story, when Seto Kaiba used this card, ordinary spell cards could also be chained, so the significance of this card was not that great.

But this world has entered the next generation of Duel City rules, and under the new system, this card, which was originally useless, has become extremely valuable.

"Whoosh——————————————"

Yu Che waved the magic card in his hand and announced, "With high-speed chanting, activate the title of Knight!!"

"Tribute one Dark Magician from your field to Special Summon one Dark Magician Knight from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard!!"

"At the same time, the effect of Dark Magician Knight is triggered: when this card is Special Summoned, target 1 card on the field and destroy that card!!"

On the battlefield, the dark mage began chanting the knight's oath. As he continued chanting, the staff in his hand gradually glowed and eventually transformed into a sharp longsword!

Black Magician Knight

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2100]

The form of this card originally came from the two-on-two duel between Yugi and Jonouchi, and was derived from the powerful Mahad.

However, during the Orichalcos incident, Mahad passed on this skill to Hemeti, who was a junior. After a period of practice, the somewhat talented Hemeti mastered the technique and created the same card.

Faced with the Peacock Dance's powerful attack, You Che actually chose to defend in this way?!

The crowd looked somewhat bewildered.

Although the appearance of the Dark Magician Knight can destroy a card on the field, how can he withstand the opponent's strong attack?

"Given the current situation, wouldn't it be better to destroy the Amazon Archer?" Jonouchi said thoughtfully. "Destroying the Amazon Chainsman is obviously pointless. Even if we destroy the Field Card, the Amazon Archer can still take down the Dark Magician Knight together."

However, Yu Qing's actions took Jonouchi somewhat by surprise. The card he chose to destroy was none other than the field card—Amazon Village!

"Bang!"

The arena shattered, and the battlefield of the duel returned to the stage of this grand tournament.

Kong Quewu frowned, as if she were bound by something.
