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

Just before launching the attack, the dinosaur Ryuzaki hesitated.

Looking at the seemingly weak monster on the field and the two mysterious face-down cards, Ryuzaki Dinosaur couldn't help but think of the recent national tournament.

then……

He attacked the insect moth under similar circumstances, which ultimately led to his defeat...

Do we have to make the same mistake twice...?

For him, a useless "Goddess of Reversal" card meant nothing, but as the national runner-up, it would be too embarrassing to lose to an amateur in front of everyone.

"Tsk..." Ryuzaki the Dinosaur gritted his teeth and said, "Defense Position Summon, Dinosaur Man! End Turn!"

【Dinosaur Man】

【Samsung】

[Earth Attribute/Dinosaur Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1000/850]

Seeing this scene, not only the onlookers, but even You Che was stunned.

What the onlookers didn't understand was why the dinosaur Ryuzaki didn't attack under these circumstances.

To You Che's surprise, this guy was actually more intelligent than he appeared in the anime.

In Duel Kingdom, where the limit is only 2000 LP, any mistake can be fatal.

Having learned from his previous mistake in the national tournament, Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, did not launch an attack rashly...

You Che couldn't help but frown.

If that's the case, then things have reached a stalemate...

Duelists of this era may have become more aware of the back row, but most still rarely include cards like "Whirlwind" or "Great Storm" that can clear the back row...

As long as he has cards in his backcourt, Dinosaur Ryuzaki won't attack, but Dinosaur Ryuzaki doesn't seem to have the ability to clear his backcourt...

This……

The scene was slightly awkward.

Just as You Che was deep in thought, an incredibly miraculous scene unfolded on the battlefield, something that You Che himself had not anticipated!

The moment his turn began, the young Armored Dragon Lv3 actually started roaring!

It spread its wings, bathed in the summoned storm, and lit up with a dazzling light!

It actually completed an evolution!

It has transformed into an even more powerful Armored Dragon Lv5!

【Armed Dragon Lv5】

【Five stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2400/1700]

This sudden change shocked everyone.

Yuzuru knows the effect of Armed Dragon Lv3: during his Standby Phase, he can Special Summon Armed Dragon Lv5 from his hand or Deck by sending this card to the Graveyard.

But the problem is...

He doesn't have the Armed Dragon Lv5 card either!

The reason he put Armed Dragon Lv3 into his deck was simply because this card was slightly stronger than those junk cards with less than 1000 attack power. It was a last resort, but he didn't expect it to play such a role.

You Che blinked blankly.

perhaps……

This situation only made some sense during the Duel Kingdom era.

After all, Yugi used Fusion multiple times without knowing what monster it would create, which shows that there was no Extra Deck or physical cards for Fusion Monsters at that time.

In this ancient era of dueling, nothing is impossible as long as it seems plausible...

Dinosaur Ryuzaki stared blankly at the suddenly evolved monster, speechless for a moment: "It...it evolved? It's actually a monster that can evolve!"

You Che smiled and shook his head. Everything that had happened was somewhat unexpected, but in any case, this duel should come to an end.

"Entering the battle phase!" Yu Che shouted. "Armed Dragon Lv5! Attack Brachiosaurus! At the same time, use the Quick-Play Spell Card! Rush! Increase Armed Dragon Lv5's ATK by 700!!"

"Roar!!!!!"

Armed Dragon, Attack Power: 2400 → 3100

Everyone present was once again stunned.

"3100?!"

"Its attack power is even higher than that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"Could it be... that the national runner-up is going to lose?!"

"boom----------"

The terrifying dragon breath shattered the enemy with overwhelming force!

The intense simulated impact caused the dinosaur Ryuzaki to scream incoherently.

"what!!!!!"

"Beep beep..."

Ryuzaki Dinosaur, LP: 950→50

"Tsk!" Ryuzaki the dinosaur gritted his teeth. "I haven't lost yet! Not yet! The charge effect only lasts for one turn! Next turn its attack power will go back to 2400!"

"I've already drawn the Dark Dragon Claw, as long as... as long as I draw that card!"

"Victory in this duel still belongs to me!"

However, You Che shook his head: "No, the duel is over."

"N-N-what?" Dinosaur Ryuzaki refused to believe it, thinking that Yuzuru no longer had any means to harm him.

You Che smiled faintly and tossed a monster card from his hand: "The combat power of Armed Dragon Lv5 is far more than this."

"He also possesses a special ability!"

"Discard one monster card from your hand and destroy one monster on your opponent's field whose ATK is lower than that monster card's ATK!"

"What I discarded was the Lizard Knight, with an attack power of 1150, which is just over your Dinosaur Man! So I can destroy it!"

"And according to the duel rules, you will suffer damage equal to 30% of the dinosaur man's attack power!"

"You lost, Ryuzaki the Dinosaur!!"

Chapter 7 Card Spirits

"boom!!!!!"

As a card fell from Youche's fingers, a deafening explosion instantly rang out on the battlefield!

Having just completed an attack, the Armored Dragon Lv5 did not rest for a moment. It opened its jaws and unleashed another burst of dragon breath towards the enemy battlefield!

Tremors, explosions, smoke!

When the thick smoke cleared, Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, collapsed to the ground in disbelief, his last remaining LP completely wiped out.

"How...how is this possible..." Ryuzaki the Dinosaur stared wide-eyed, muttering to himself, "I actually lost to a complete novice...tsk! No! I lost to that card! If I also had that kind of monster that can evolve, I definitely wouldn't have lost!"

The stunned audience remained speechless for a while before slowly coming to their senses.

"The national runner-up... actually lost?"

"What kind of monster is that? It's incredibly powerful!"

"Who is this person? Is he also a contestant in the national competition?"

"Never seen this before... He's probably a rising star duelist who's suddenly emerged..."

"Sizzle————————"

The ladder to the dueling arena descended, and Yu Che strode toward Dinosaur Ryuzaki, holding his deck in one hand and extending the other towards him: "As agreed, you have to give me that Reversal Goddess card."

Ryuzaki the Dinosaur looked extremely ugly, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could not deny it and had no choice but to return the stolen card to the child.

"You, what's your name!" Dinosaur Ryuzaki demanded through gritted teeth.

You Che calmly replied, "You Che."

"Ha! I'll remember you! You made me look so foolish this time. When the Duel Kingdom Tournament comes, I'll make you pay double!" Dinosaur Ryuzaki said angrily, then turned and walked away.

Duel Kingdom Tournament...

I wonder if Pegasus will send me an invitation.

However, I have already defeated the national runner-up, so I should be considered a duelist who is qualified to participate, right?

As Yu Che watched the departing figure of the dinosaur Ryuzaki, he thought to himself.

"Big brother, you're amazing! You even managed to defeat the national runner-up!"

"Big brother! Thank you so much! This card is really important to me!"

The two children looked at the cart with gratitude.

“It’s nothing,” You Che said with a smile. “You still have one card with the insect moth, right? I’ll go and win it back for you.”

"No, no, no!" one of the children quickly waved his hand and said, "We just picked up the card you accidentally dropped. We're already very grateful that you won a card back for us!"

You Che smiled and didn't insist too much.

Since they said it's not necessary, then it's not necessary.

Moreover, as a transmigrator who had just arrived in this world, he didn't even have a cell phone. Even if he really defeated the insect moth, he wouldn't be able to contact the two children again.

After returning the borrowed deck, Yuche left the card shop with his only card – "Armed Dragon Lv3".

It was already noon.
