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

Those duelists who are already familiar with this tournament know very well that it is the light of evolution exclusively for Lv series monsters!

As the light gradually faded, the originally short warrior transformed into a dashing swordsman, his lightsaber splitting in two to become a pair of two-handed swords!

[Mysterious Swordsman Lv4]

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1900/1600]

"Yosh!" Jonouchi exclaimed excitedly, "Thanks to Yusuke's help! The Mysterious Swordsman can evolve into its next form at the end of the turn when it destroys a monster in battle! Hmph~ Ryuzaki the Dinosaur, it seems you're not far from defeat."

Seeing Jonouchi's performance, Yugi and the others were very pleased.

Kyoko was about to greet them, but the game stopped her.

"Huh? Why didn't you tell Jonouchi we were watching the game?"

The game gently said, "Look how confident Jonouchi is now! He always thought that he won the duel because of my help, but even now that I'm not here, he still performs very well."

"I think that winning a duel on his own would be of great significance to Jonouchi, wouldn't it?"

"So I want to wait until the duel is over before I go to Jonouchi, even though I didn't originally intend to give him any advice."

Apricot nodded knowingly, and even her cheers subsided slightly.

But Honda, standing to the side, didn't think so. As Jonouchi's best friend, they always joked around: "Does this count as winning the duel independently? Even though the game didn't help him, this guy still benefited a lot from Yuzuriha's help, didn't he?"

Facing the mysterious swordsman who had evolved into its fourth level form, Dinosaur Ryuzaki coldly said, "So what if you've evolved? You still can't break through my Evil Knight Dragon!"

"That's not necessarily true, Ryuzaki the Dinosaur." Yuche played a card and said, "As long as you keep turning your monsters face down in defense position, no matter how strong they are, they will eventually be defeated by the Mysterious Swordsman's sword!"

"It's my turn. I'm going to activate this card—Dark Seal Sword!!"

“Shuashuashua!!!!”

Three jet-black demonic swords descended from the sky, sealing away the battlefield of the dinosaur Ryuzaki!

A chilling aura permeated the wilderness, forcing all the monsters to cower beneath the cards!

With a flash of light, the Evil Knight Dragon, which had been in face-up Defense Form, suddenly transformed into its face-down form?!

When everyone saw the Dark Guardian Sword, they were all stunned.

The game is particularly relatable to this card, as his grandfather, Sugoroku Muto, possessed two powerful "Guardian Sword" spell cards: one was this "Guardian Sword of Darkness," and the other was "Guardian Sword of Light."

The game that inherited his grandfather's deck received the "Radiance" version, while the "Darkness" version was given to Yusuke by Sugoroku Muto as a thank you gift.

Like the previous "God of Healing, Dean Kate," this is one of the five cards that "remain unchanged in the face of all changes."

Youche said, "The effect of Dark Guardian Sword is that when this card is activated, it changes all monsters on your opponent's field to face-down Defense Position! For two turns, all monsters on your opponent's field cannot change their battle position!"

"Let's seize this opportunity and launch an attack on the evil knight dragon, Jonouchi!"

"Defense Position Summon - Armored Dragon Lv3!"

"Set one card face down, end your turn!"

【Armed Dragon Lv3】

【Samsung】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/900]

"Ha! A beautiful combo!" Jonouchi exclaimed proudly. "Dinosaur Ryuzaki! Just watch as yet another of your ace cards is defeated!"

"My turn! Let's get straight to the battle!"

"Mysterious Swordsman Lv4! Attack the Evil Knight Dragon!!"

"Activate its effect, bypass damage calculation, and destroy that monster directly!!!"

"Bang!"

Brilliant swordsmanship once again graced the battlefield, card fragments fluttered in the air, and the intense impact caused the dinosaur Ryuzaki to let out a scream.

"Ugh!!!"

"Beep beep beep beep————"

Ryuzaki Dinosaur, LP: 4080→3375

It was another perfect joint attack.

With his confidence greatly boosted, Jonouchi ended his turn.

If Ryuzaki the dinosaur was in an advantageous position just now, he is definitely at a disadvantage now.

However, as a top-tier duelist who has already honed his skills in the Duel Kingdom for some time, how could he possibly lack powerful Level 5 monsters?!

Moreover, Ryuzaki's Level 5 monsters are more powerful and unique than the regular ones!

"Let's get this ridiculous entertainment over with!" Dinosaur Ryuzaki drew a card, deciding to summon his true ace. "Let me show you ignorant fools just how terrifying a dinosaur's true power can be!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Silent Dead! Revive the Two-Headed Dinosaur King from the Graveyard!"

The Two-Headed Dinosaur King

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Dinosaur Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1600/1200]

"Attack again to summon! Corpse Dragon!"

【Corpse Dragon】

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Dinosaur Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1600/1200]

"Activate the Magic Card Fusion!"

"Summon! Ancient Brachiosaurus Lv6!!"

Amidst the swirling, merging light, a five-meter-tall Brachiosaurus emerged from a sudden surge of giant waves. Its entire body was blue, and its powerful muscles were covered by impenetrable skin!

Yuzuru encountered this card during his first duel with the dinosaur Ryuzaki.

But it is completely different now than before!

【Ancient Brachiosaurus Lv6】

【Six Star】

[Water Attribute/Dinosaur Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2200/2000]

A Level 5 monster from the Fusion series?!

Everyone was extremely surprised.

You Che couldn't help but frown.

When he first entered the wilderness, he saw a lot of new Lv cards on the merchant NPC's shelf. Most of them were simple monsters with similar card art that were grouped into a series and then some special effects were added.

At the time, he was wondering if he would encounter cards that weren't available in the OCG.

And now, he has encountered it.

Clearly, this monster named "Ancient Brachiosaurus Lv6" is based on the blank fusion monster "Brachiosaurus".

"Hehehe~" Dinosaur Ryuzaki said smugly, "Are you starting to get scared? But this is just the beginning!"

"Activate the spell card and increase its level!"

"Evolve the Ancient Brachiosaurus Lv6 into the Ancient Brachiosaurus Lv8!!"

In the Light of Evolution, even more powerful dinosaurs appeared!

This time, it's a Level 5 monster modeled after the mortal monster, "Frost Wrist Dragon"!

【Ancient Brachiosaurus Lv8】

[Eight Stars]

[Water Attribute/Dinosaur Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2600/2400]

"Hmph~" Dinosaur Ryuzaki looked every bit the victor, "Ancient Brachiosaurus Lv8 is an extremely special Fusion Series Lv Monster with incredibly powerful effects!"

"This card can transform the field into an additional ice field by attacking it!!"

"The reason I call it 'extra' is because the terrain will retain its original effects. In other words, after my ace strikes, this place will not only be a wasteland, but also an ice field!"

"As a water-attribute dinosaur-type monster, the Ancient Brachiosaurus Lv8 will receive bonuses from both terrains, increasing its attack and defense by 60% during battle!!"

"Well, now you've seen how terrifying dinosaurs are!"

"I don't need any fancy abilities; I can crush you ants into ashes with sheer power!"

"Come forth, Ancient Brachiosaurus! Let the era of dueling truly begin!!"

Chapter 46 Air Superiority! The Judgment Eagle's Dive Strike!

"Boom!!!!!"

Under the command of the dinosaur Ryuzaki, the ancient Brachiosaurus Lv8 stomped on the ground, cracking the earth and covering the wilderness with a blanket of ice and snow!

Although it was just a scene generated by virtual projection, the Ice Age-like scene made everyone present feel as if they were there, and they subconsciously rubbed their arms.

Location: Wilderness → Wilderness & Icefield

"After changing the field, I activate the Spell Card - Heavenly Treasure!" Dinosaur Ryuzaki proclaimed. "All duelists, replenish your hands to six cards!"

"Put three cards on the card!"

"Round over!"
