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

[Attack/Defense: 2300/1800]

"Enter battle phase!" the Lava Giant announced. "Red Sun Bird! Attack the Steel Demon Zoa! Due to the terrain effect, the Red Sun Bird's attack power will be increased by sixty percent!!"

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

Red Sunbird, Attack Power: 2300 → 3680

Yu Che remained unmoved, merely smiling faintly: "However, due to the effect of the Metallization Magic Reflection Armor, when Steel Demon Zoa is attacked, its attack power will increase by half the opponent's monster's attack power! In the end, it's your own monster that will be destroyed!"

Facing the incoming flames, the Steel Demon Zoa advanced instead of retreating, standing upright.

The metal armor, imbued with magic, absorbed most of the Red Sunbird's attack and converted it into its own energy!

In just a moment, the Steel Demon Zoa's attack power successfully surpassed that of his opponent!

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

Steel Demon Zoa, Attack Power: 3000 → 4840

However, just as the two monsters were about to clash, the Lava Giant unleashed another spell card: "Activate, Contract! Halve the attack power of Steel Demon Zoa!!"

"Ha, I knew you'd use something like this."

Yuche was perfectly aware of the Lava Giant's intentions. No matter how rudimentary the Duel AI was, it would never allow a monster to launch a meaningless suicidal attack.

So when the Red Sunbird launched its attack on the Steel Demon Zoa, Yuzuru knew that this AI would use some other cards.

"Activate the Spell Card - One Against All!"

"Until the end of the round, Steel Demon Zoa's attack power increases by 1500!!"

"boom!!!!!!!"

In the end, the Lava Giant's attack was easily neutralized.

A deafening explosion followed, and the brightly feathered Red Sunbird fell into the lava and turned to ashes.

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

Lava Giant, LP: 6760→6520

At this point in the duel, Youche didn't find the AI ​​particularly difficult.

If the other duelists can't defeat this lava giant, it just means they're too weak.

With a series of low growls, the lava giant ended its turn.

You Che smiled slightly and said, "Since it's not very interesting anyway, I'll just end this duel now!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

Chapter 61 Dungeon

Is this duel about to end?

Upon hearing this, Seto Kaiba secretly pondered to himself.

The Lava Giant still has over 6,000 LP. To end the battle under these circumstances, the only option is to gather all five monsters and launch a full-scale attack.

"My turn! Draw!" Youche swung his card and said, "Activate the Spell Card - Pot of Greed! Draw two cards from my deck!"

"Activate the Spell Card Double Summon again!"

"I can perform two Normal Summonings this turn!"

"Attack signal summoned! Evil Ninja!"

A heavy white mist rose, and the mysterious ninja who had been used countless times by Youche reappeared.

[Evil and cruel]

[Two stars]

[Dark Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 400/800]

"Attack again to summon! Demon Frog!!"

"Croak~~~"

A clear croaking sound rang out, and a black frog covered in red stripes flew out of the card.

【Devil Frog】

【Samsung】

[Water Attribute/Aquarium]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/800]

At this moment, Youche has gathered four monsters, and just one more is enough to launch a full-scale offensive.

But at that moment, the Duel AI, Lava Giant, seemed to realize this as well. It actually activated an astonishing magic card: "The instant you summon the Demon Frog, I activate Time Goddess's Mischief, skipping the current turn and turning it into my Battle Phase!"

Traveling speed: ? ? ?

What the heck?!

A prank by the goddess of time?!

The animated version of this card is extremely overpowered, with no prerequisites or restrictions, allowing you to skip the current turn and proceed directly to your next battle phase.

Having forcibly seized the turn, the Lava Giant launched its insidious counterattack: "Activate the Spell Card Monster Resurrection to revive the Red Sunbird from the Graveyard!"

【Red Sunbird】

【Six Star】

[Fire Attribute/Bird Beast Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2300/1800]

"Red Sun Bird! Attack the evil ninja!!"

You Che's face darkened.

I originally wanted to collect all five monsters, which is why I brought up the Evil Ninja card.

But who knew that the seemingly simple-minded lava giant on the other side was actually so treacherous?

Did they choose such a vicious tactic when they wanted to launch a full-scale attack?

The attack power of the evil ninja is only 400. With the field buff, the red sun bird can kill the wandering bird in one blow!

Seto Kaiba chuckled to himself in the audience.

Just as the Red Sun Bird was about to launch its attack, You Che directly used the same method against it.

He flipped over the face-down cards on the field and shouted, "Spell Card - Double Spell! Discard one Spell Card from your hand and activate one Spell Card from your opponent's Graveyard!"

"What I'm going to use is your Time Goddess Prank card!!"

"With the effect of this card, your turn will be skipped, and it's my turn again!"

A dramatic scene unfolded.

The goddess of time smiled once more, and the rounds began to change.

Seto Kaiba paused slightly, and his smile faded.

Yu Che said, "Although I can't perform normal summons during the battle phase, I can still activate spell and trap cards!"

"Spell Card activated - Monster Resurrection!"

"Resurrect Armed Dragon - Thunder Lv3 from the Graveyard!"

【Armed Dragon - Lightning Lv3】

【Samsung】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/900]

"I now have five Attack Position monsters on my field!"

"Therefore, I can launch a general attack!"

"If you cannot neutralize this attack, then I have won this duel!"

With a wave of his arm, You Che caused all five monsters on the field to simultaneously charge up their attacks!

With a deafening roar, the five beams merged into one, piercing straight through the lava giant's body!

With a mournful cry, its battered body fell into the lava, sparks flying as the golden treasure chest opened.

Youche stepped off the dueling platform and took out the precious Red-Eyes Black Dragon from the box.

Seto Kaiba sneered and said sarcastically, "What a boring battle. And you almost lost a duel of this level."

You Che smiled and replied, "You should be glad I didn't lose to this AI."

Seto Kaiba knew exactly what this guy meant, and immediately snorted coldly.

While Yusuke was adjusting his deck, Seto Kaiba, standing to the side, was deep in thought.

If he can defeat Youche here, he will not only gain entry to the castle, but also restore the reputation of KC Company.

but……

Is now the best time?

I don't seem to understand the meaning of "the heart of the card" yet.

Seto Kaiba gently closed his eyes, and suddenly, the face of his younger brother, Keihei Kaiba, appeared in his mind.

Thinking of Guiping being imprisoned in that cold, dark dungeon...

Thinking of the suffering he endured while I was away...

Seto Kaiba clenched his fists and clenched his teeth.

perhaps……

I still don't understand the "soul of the card"!
