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

"The arena for this duel will be—'The Castle'!"

"Here, all hidden rules will cease to exist!"

"Furthermore, Fusion and Ritual Summoning can use monsters from your hand as materials!"

"This kind of pure duel is more suitable for you who are about to fight to the death~"

"Hum~"

"Now, I'll give you thirty minutes."

"During this time, you can use the spare cards provided by the tournament to adjust your deck to its optimal state~"

"And in thirty minutes, you will have to fight each other without holding back!"

"Swimming Boy~ Seahorse Boy~"

You should thank me for giving you this opportunity!

"Cherish your last moments and use every means to strengthen your decks!"

Hehehehe~

Chapter 71 Fierce Battle! Seto Kaiba!

Finally, more than a month after being transported to another world, Card Master Youche faced his first "dark duel" in his life!

This is certainly not a dark game in the strict sense, because the duel arena is not shrouded in a terrifying dark mystery, nor does it involve the body gradually becoming mutilated as the Life Points decrease.

However, from the perspective of "risking one's life," the two are already quite similar.

On either side of the dueling platform, Yuzuriha and Seto Kaiba, who were about to become opponents, were actively adjusting their decks using the sideboard provided by Pegasus.

Because of the previously existing hidden rules, duelists' decks would contain some special cards added to adapt to those rules.

However, those cards are no longer necessary.

Under the rules of the castle arena, there are no shortcuts or luck; there is only pure card-based gameplay and a competitive battle where strength reigns supreme!

Looking at the group photo on the card in his arms, Seto Kaiba's gaze gradually sharpened from gentleness.

Keihei...

You have sacrificed so much to protect KC Company.

Your brother will definitely rescue you from Pegasus!

No matter who stands in his way, his fate will only be to be crushed to pieces!

Unfolding his deck one by one, Seto Kaiba gazed intently at each card, his eyes finally settling on one of the monster cards—Horus the Black Dragon Lv8!

Perhaps the meaning of "the soul of the card" has not yet been fully understood...

But with this Combo!

Let alone a chariot!

Even Pegasus could only end up as a pathetic loser!

After confirming that the deck was correct, Seto Kaiba put away the cards and gracefully stood up and stepped onto the dueling platform.

the other side.

Yu Che is selecting cards from his deck based on his memory of the original anime.

Seto Kaiba has a well-known tactic: "Death Deck Destruction Virus".

In the current era, this card's effect is extraordinary, and it is necessary to play one or two counter cards to deal with it.

Yuzuru also knows that Kaiba now has another Horus Black Dragon in his hand, and that monster has the powerful ability to seal magic cards.

Once he achieves the combo of "Horus the Black Dragon" and "Royal Announcement," then given the power of this guy's aggressive deck, I will be in an infinitely passive state.

Therefore, it's also necessary to include that card in the deck...

Relying on his understanding of his opponents, You Che's instinctive thinking as a card master began to come into play.

After rebuilding his deck, he looked at his backpack full of "Evil Spirits and Evil Suffering" and fell into deep thought.

Just as he had anticipated, the reproductive ability of these card sprites was terrifying. After only two duels, "Evil Soul Evil Suffering Stop" went from one to nearly a thousand.

Because Youche didn't have time to build a frog deck yet, he asked the Armed Dragon Spirit to communicate with the tadpole spirits and tell them not to synthesize higher-level frog cards yet, but only to generate copies.

It now seems that the communication with the Armed Dragon was effective; otherwise, his mental world would surely be filled with countless frog croaks by now.

You Che stared blankly at the countless "Evil Spirits and Bitterness Stops" in his backpack, when suddenly he had a brilliant idea.

After thinking for a moment, he added a few more cards to the deck...

Thirty minutes later, Pegasus snapped his fingers lightly.

The cameras in the castle all pointed their lenses at the dueling arena, starting a live broadcast of the match.

Under the watchful eyes of dueling enthusiasts worldwide, Yuzuriha and Seto Kaiba stepped onto the dueling ring to begin their duel to the death!

"duel!!!"

Seto Kaiba, LP: 2000

Cruiser, LP: 2000

"The first move will be decided by a coin toss!" The butler stepped onto the high platform on the side of the dueling arena, acting as the referee. "Both duelists, please choose heads or tails!"

"I choose to fight head-on!" Seto Kaiba said coldly, his fighting spirit undiminished. "However, no matter who attacks first, the outcome of this duel will be the same!"

Youche didn't say anything, but quietly placed the shuffled card decks that the staff had prepared into the corresponding area.

He had no expression at that moment; if there was one, it was only focus! Extreme focus!

From the moment he came into this world until now, he has never had a good impression of Seto Kaiba.

Perhaps this person seems quite charming in the animation, but when you actually spend time with him, you'll only feel speechless and annoyed.

During the dungeon battle, Yuzuru had already made up his mind that if Seto Kaiba threatened to kill himself, just like in the anime, he would not hesitate to let him jump off a building, into the sea, or into a volcano.

Now that things have come to the point where losing means certain death, he's even less likely to hold back.

Although the kind-hearted Yugi Muto might spare Yuzuru's life out of consideration for their friendship over the past few days and the fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon, entrusting one's life to someone else seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.

"bite----------"

The golden coin was bounced high into the air and finally caught by the white glove.

The referee removed his hand and announced, "Frontline! Seto Kaiba attacks first!"

After drawing his starting hand, the seasoned card player remained calm and composed.

"Ha! Then prepare to suffocate under the immense pressure of this relentless attack! Yuzuriha!!"

"My turn! Draw a card!!"

Seto Kaiba roared, and with a powerful sweep of his arm, he slammed down a magic card the instant he had drawn the card:

"Since the rules of the castle state that Fusion Summoning can use monsters from the hand as materials!"

"Then I'll just activate the Spell Card—Fusion!!"

"Summon!! Minotaur!!!"

“Shuashua————————”

With two monster cards thrown into the graveyard, the fusion of Minotaur and Centaur bursts forth in a dazzling display of light!

That was a half-ox, half-horse wielding a giant axe!

Extreme power and speed are displayed between exaggerated muscles!

Minotaur

【Six Star】

[Earth/Beast Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2000/1700]

"It's not over yet! I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn!"

"Come on! Enhanced Gargoyle! Attack stance!!"

Another monster appears, and a stone statue slowly flies out of the card. Suddenly, the stone coating cracks, and the nightmare, infused with dark power, awakens abruptly!

[Enhanced Gargoyle]

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Demon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1600/1200]

"Put a card in the stamp!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Heavenly Treasure Card!"

"Both sides will replenish their hands to six cards!"

"Put on two more cards!"

"My turn is over, Yuzuriha!" Seto Kaiba laughed proudly. "Can you feel it? This is the pressure my aggressive deck brings in the first turn!"

"No matter how much you struggle, you will never escape being crushed!!"

"Begin your ant-like resistance!!"

Hahahahahahahaha!!!

Chapter 72 Ultimate Combo! The Death Deck Destroyer Virus!

In this extremely ancient Duel Kingdom era, Seto Kaiba's opening move was indeed incredibly imposing.

Summon two powerful monsters in one turn, and set three cards to the back row, yet still manage to keep your hand size at four cards...

With his mind racing, Youche stared at the three face-down cards opposite him, deep in thought.

The current version of "Dead Destruction Virus" has a different effect than the one in the OCG. It can only be activated when an opponent's monster attacks a DARK monster with less than 1000 ATK. The attacked monster is used as a tribute to send all monsters with more than 1500 ATK in the opponent's deck and hand to the Graveyard.
