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

Yugi Muto didn't understand the meaning of the card, but he roughly understood that the monsters hadn't entered the banished zone.

If we were to speculate, it's highly likely that Bakula's grave was replaced in this form, and those who entered the grave before and after him will appear behind him in spirit form...

What is the purpose of doing this?

It's most likely used to create combos with certain specific cards, right?

Yugi Muto shook his head vigorously, trying to stay alert and avoid falling into Bakura's rhythm.

"My turn! Draw a card!!"

Yugi Muto shouted, but at that moment, Bakura laughed again.

"Wait!" Bakula chuckled. "At that very moment, the Necromancer's effect activated!"

"When your opponent enters the Main Phase, as long as this card is on the field, you will Special Summon a Necromancer!"

"The Special Summoned Undead Soldier activates its effect, Special Summoning another Undead Soldier!!"

In an instant, three of those seemingly insignificant monsters appeared on the field.

These monsters, though having zero attack and defense, are still quite troublesome.

"The Silent Swordsman's effect!!" Yugi Muto shouted, "Since my turn has begun, his level will reach Lv5!! His attack power will reach 3500!!"

"Attack signal summon - Silent Magician Lv0!!"

[Silent Magician Lv0]

【Four stars】

[Light Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1000/1000]

"Whoosh—"

Yugi Muto waved his arm and shouted, "Silence Magician Lv0, Silent Swordsman Lv4, and Cotton Candy! Attack the three undead soldiers!!"

"Bang bang ————————————————"

Under the continuous attacks of the Silent Magician and Cotton Candy, the two undead soldiers were shattered!

But when the Silent Swordsman's greatsword was about to strike the undead soldier's head, it suddenly stopped.

"What?!" Yugi Muto exclaimed in surprise, "Why? Why can't I attack?!"

"Heh heh heh~" Bakula laughed as he lifted a stone slab. "Perpetual Trap Card - Narrow Corridor!!"

"Because of this card, the opponent can only declare an attack with a maximum of two monsters per turn."

"I'm sorry~"

"Now no matter how many monsters you summon, they won't be able to break through my defenses!"

"At the same time, the two defeated undead soldiers will reappear in ghost form~~"

Yugi Muto frowned deeply.

Is this really a combo...?

If the Undead Soldier can Special Summon two Undead Soldiers every turn, then combined with the effect of this Continuous Trap Card, it will be impossible for it to deal damage to Bakura!

"My turn, draw a card!" Bakula smiled smugly, looking as if victory was assured.

With a solemn expression, Yugi Muto announced, "The moment you draw the card, the effect of the Silent Magician activates, increasing its level by one and its attack power by five hundred!!"

"Tch~" Bakula sneered, "Are you still messing around with those weaklings that look incredibly pathetic?"

"I've drawn a pretty good card!"

"I'm going to activate a Continuous Spell Card from my hand—Deathmatch!!"

"While this card is on the field, each duelist must, during their End Phase, send the monster ghosts remaining on the field and the total number of cards from both players' decks to the Graveyard!!"

Yugi Muto's eyes widened immediately.

So, that's how those monster ghosts are used!

Bakura has amassed a considerable number of monster ghosts, and with this card's effect, a significant number of cards will be sent to the graveyard each turn!

Before long, the exhausted deck will bring a defeat that is tantamount to death!

"Ha!!" Jonouchi remained optimistic. "But then you'd still have to discard cards from your deck anyway! That's a completely unworkable strategy! Because the person activating this card has to bear its power first, and in the end, you'll definitely lose your deck before the game even starts!!"

"Hahahahaha!!!" Bakula laughed loudly, "You really are a mediocre talent!!"

"What?!" Jonouchi was furious, but he didn't know what he had said wrong.

Bakura spread his hands and laughed, "Listen up, this card's effect is to send cards to the Graveyard, but I don't have a Graveyard at all, so how can I trigger this effect?"

"Could it be..." Kong Que Wu's eyes widened, "that only games have to suffer such negative effects?!"

Jonouchi was stunned: "How could this be?! Does that mean we'll lose the game in just a few rounds?!"

"Hahahaha!" Bakula laughed loudly, "That's right! That's exactly it!!"

"The outcome of this duel was already decided the moment the container chose that red box!!"

"You can no longer defeat me, and the king's name will be buried forever in this tomb!!"

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

"Rumble rumble rumble ————————————————"

One explosion after another rang out from near the ruined village!

Hiding in the basement, Bakura summoned the spirits of the nearby dead and launched an attack on the royal city's army!

After several bloody battles, the royal city's guards suffered heavy casualties, but their sacrifices largely preserved the priests' strength.

When the group arrived at the basement, there were very few guards left, and the surrounding skeletons had all been scattered on the ground and completely turned into fragments.

With the determination to eliminate Bakura, the group quickly entered the basement. In the dimly lit space, they saw two huge stone slabs, one standing upright against the wall and the other lying flat on the ground.

Priest Mahad noticed the upright stone slab: "That must be the stone slab that houses Diaband's energy!"

“That’s right,” said the attendant Simon, “and that’s where the Millennium Artifacts are kept, the ritual stone tablet that resurrected the Demon King!!”

"Hmph!" Priest Seth sneered. "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Just destroy them! Come on!! Garest!!"

With a wave of the Millennium Scepter, golden light instantly filled the basement. But just as the monster was about to be summoned, the light of the Millennium Scepter suddenly dimmed, and Garest, who appeared, seemed to have lost a significant amount of his fighting strength.

"What?!" Priest Seth exclaimed in shock. "How could this be?!"

At the same time, the priests clearly felt their souls diminishing, and what was diminishing was not just energy, but the upper limit of their energy!

Their strength is rapidly diminishing!

Wang Yang also sensed this strange situation. When he came to his senses and looked at the sand table, he was shocked to find that most of the Pharaoh statue in the Valley of the Kings' Sleep had been destroyed!

"Bakura!!" King Yu roared, "Is this what you did?!"

On the opposite side of the sand table, Bakura, legs crossed, smugly said, "Don't get so excited, Pharaoh~"

"Since it's a game, any reasonable means are normal."

"A large part of the power of the royal city comes from the statues of the pharaohs throughout history."

So I destroyed them~

"I was worried that we wouldn't have enough time, but now it seems that everything is just right~"

"You sacrificed countless guards just to preserve those few souls, but now that your souls have been weakened, I no longer need to fear you."

"And my chess piece, which I had placed long before the duel began, has just arrived!!"

"Come!! Infuse all those souls into me!!!"

In the dimly lit basement, Bakura appeared, holding the Millennium Eye in his hand, his power surging!

Wang Yang stared at this scene in shock. He didn't know where this power came from; it simply didn't make any sense.

But then, a familiar figure appeared in the sand table—it was none other than Seto Kaiba!

"Seahorse?! He's here too!" Wang Yang gritted his teeth.

Bakura chuckled evilly, "Before this dark RPG game began, I made a special trip to Seto Kaiba and not only took away the Destruction Blast Gale Bullet, but also gave him one of the Millennium Items—the Millennium Eye."

"As expected, President Kaiba has now begun to believe in these so-called supernatural phenomena~"

"He arrived at the Valley of Royal Sleep and used the Millennium Eye to enter this world~"

"And when the Millennium Eye comes into contact with this dark RPG game, those who possess the Millennium Eye in the game will also gain extraordinary power~"

"From the very beginning, Akhenaten and the Millennium Eye have been on my side. That's why I was so eager to take the Millennium Eye from Pegasus during the Duel Kingdom!"

"Damn it!!" Wang Yang roared, "But even so, our strength is greater!!"

"Come on!! The Three Egyptian Gods!!"

"Obelisk the Colossus!!!"

In the cramped basement, Wang Yang called upon the name of God once more, but this time, he did not succeed.

Because his soul power has been weakened, he must level up several more times before he has enough power to summon the god.

Finally, with a heavy heart, King Yu summoned the most powerful demon sealed within the Pharaoh's temple—the Summoning of the Demon!

At the same time, the priests all made their moves, summoning their strongest spirits, but due to their depleted power, those spirits were not at their strongest.

"Not worth mentioning!!" Bakula roared, "Diabund!! Clone!!"

"Use the Destructive Explosion Gale Bullet again!!"

"A triple offensive combined is enough to defeat all of you scum!!"

"Rumble rumble rumble rumble ————————————"

Amidst deafening explosions, everyone's spirits were defeated one after another. In the critical moment, to save everyone, Kisara transformed into a white dragon!!

Her power did not come from the royal city, so it was not restricted in any way. However, her combat experience was too poor, and coupled with the fact that she was fighting three against one, she was quickly defeated by the combined attack of the three Diabands.

The injured Kisara collapsed into the arms of the priest Seth, who himself was also covered in wounds.

Bakula roared with laughter, "Hahahaha!! It seems we can annihilate you all right here!! Diaband, kill the Pharaoh!!"

Wang Yang gritted his teeth and used the item he had obtained earlier: "Guardian God—Hassan!!!"
