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

"Because this card carries a special meaning, even if it's just a mortal card with no effect, I will definitely bring it to every duel!"

"I will not lose confidence because the Armored Dragon was defeated. On the contrary, I am even more determined to defeat the Black Flame Dragon with the Armored Dragon!!"

Scenes from his past life, playing Yu-Gi-Oh! with his cousin, replayed in Youche's mind.

Ultimately, those memories stopped at an airport, on a card that had been treasured for many years and given as a farewell gift...

"Whoosh————————————"

Yu Che's right hand swept across the top of the deck, and the card he drew was none other than "Armed Dragon Lv3"!

"Hahahaha!" Seto Kaiba laughed wildly. "You want to defeat the Black Flame Dragon again with Armed Dragon? Stop dreaming! The only way to defeat the Black Flame Dragon of Horus is to summon Armed Dragon Lv10! And you, are you going to evolve from a weak Lv3 to Lv10 bit by bit?!"

You Che only replied with two words: "That's right."

Seto Kaiba suddenly froze.

"My turn begins!" Yugi summons the Heart Card he brought from his past life. "Defense Position Summon! Armed Dragon Lv3!"

A young, golden dragon emerges from the card, standing in the enormous shadow of the two monsters, appearing incredibly small and helpless.

However, the young Armored Dragon showed no fear. It turned its head in a way that only Youche could see, revealing a confident smile with small tears in the corners of its eyes.

【Armed Dragon Lv3】

【Samsung】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/900]

"Put a card on it."

"Round over!"

"What...!" Seto Kaiba's expression was somewhat resentful. "How ridiculous and foolish! Since you still intend to put up a last stand, then I will crush your last hope!"

"The Armored Dragon Lv3 must survive one turn to evolve. Before that, I'll crush it!!"

"My turn!!"

"Horus the Black Flame Dragon! Attack Armored Dragon Lv3!!!"

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

The earth-shattering black dragon flames once again engulfed the entire battlefield!

In that instant, Yu Che shouted, "Although my Spell Cards are banned, I still have Trap Cards! Activate—Messenger of Peace! This turn, my monsters cannot be destroyed by battle, and I will not take any battle damage!"

"Boom!!!!!"

The young Armored Dragon successfully blocked an attack from the Black Flame Dragon.

Seto Kaiba, whose hand was running low on cards, glared at her and clicked his tongue, "Damn it... turn over!"

"So, during this preparation phase, Armed Dragon Lv3 will evolve into Armed Dragon Lv5!" Yuzuru drew a card and announced loudly, "Come on! Armed Dragon Lv5! Attack Position!"

【Armed Dragon Lv5】

【Five stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2400/1700]

"Defense readiness summon! Blade Fly!!"

"As long as this card is on the field, all WIND monsters gain 500 ATK!!"

"Armed Dragon Lv5! Attack on Jera!!"

【Blade Fly】

[Two stars]

[Wind Attribute/Insect Race]

[Attack/Defense: 600/700]

"Beep beep beep beep————"

Armed Dragon Lv5, Attack Power: 2400 → 2900

"What?!" Seto Kaiba's expression changed drastically.

He knew very well the evolution condition for Armed Dragon Lv7, which was to destroy one of the opponent's monsters in battle.

Now, with the support of that disgusting monster, Armed Dragon Lv5 is just enough to defeat Jera!

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

The first counterattack from the Armored Dragons has begun!

The raging storm and flames blasted that terrifying demon down into hell!

As the card shattered, Seto Kaiba's LP also decreased slightly.

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

Seto Kaiba, LP: 800→700

At the end of the turn, Yuzuru announced: "Because Armed Dragon Lv5 destroyed a monster in battle this turn, it will evolve again! It will become Armed Dragon Lv7!!"

The Armored Dragon, which was previously defeated by Horus' Black Flame Dragon, has returned to the battlefield!

This time, however, its attack power has surpassed that of the others!

【Armed Dragon Lv7】

【Seven Stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2800/1000]

Armed Dragon Lv7, Attack Power: 2800 → 3300

"Tsk!" Seto Kaiba was already getting annoyed. "A disgusting monster like a fly! As long as it's defeated, the Black Flame Dragon of Horus will still be a monster superior to the Armored Dragon!!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Pot of Greed!"

Draw two cards!

"Horus the Black Flame Dragon!!"

"Attack the blade flies!!!"

Chapter 78 This card draw is inevitable!

The Blade Fly is just an insignificant monster, but it gave the previously defeated Armed Dragon Lv7 the power to defeat Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv8!

Amidst Seto Kaiba's roar, Horus the Black Flame Dragon once again spread its wings, soared into the sky, and unleashed a raging inferno!

"Bang!"

As the sound of the card shattering rang out, the Blade Fly was instantly defeated!

After losing its buffs, the Armed Dragon Lv7's attack power reverted to its original value.

"Beep beep beep beep————"

Armed Dragon Lv7, Attack Power: 3300 → 2800

"Yakusha!" Seto Kaiba stared coldly at his opponent's ace and shouted, "After losing Blade Fly, your Armed Dragon Lv7 is no match for Horus Black Flame Dragon!"

"In the next round, I will crush your last hope with a merciless attack!"

"Set two cards face down! End of turn!"

"And at the start of your turn, activate the Trap Card—Seal of Time!!"

"Skip your gacha phase directly!!"

"Come on! Let me see! Without any new cards, what can you do against Horus the Black Flame Dragon's ultimate lockdown?!"

Unlike previous evolutions, Armed Dragon Lv7 must have the Armed Dragon Lv10 card in hand before it can evolve into Armed Dragon Lv10.

After several previous duels, the Armed Dragon Spirit has absorbed enough energy to ensure that you can draw the Armed Dragon series cards you want at any time.

Looking into Seto Kaiba's eyes, Yuzuru seemed to sense a hidden fear beneath that anger.

This guy must be afraid of drawing Armed Dragon Lv10, which is why he played a trap card like Seal of Time that seals card draw.

"Ha," Youche sneered, "Defense position summon! Dead Guardian! End turn!"

"clang----------"

The undead warriors, armed with white armor, leaped out of the card and then crashed down!

[Zombie Guardian]

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 0/1900]

"What a pointless struggle..." Seto Kaiba glanced at the cards he had drawn and scoffed, "Simply piling on defensive monsters is completely useless!"

"Draw a card!!"

"Horus' Black Flame Dragon Lv8!!"

"Attack on Armored Dragon Lv7!!!"

Dark purple flames swept in once again, engulfing everything!

Just as the raging flames were about to engulf the Armored Dragon, the Undead Guardian suddenly stepped forward, crossing its arms to block the Lv7 Armored Dragon!

"boom!!!!!!!"

Horus's Black Flame Dragon's attack finally landed on the Undead Guardian!

Even as it was engulfed in flames, it launched a counterattack against its enemies in its last moments before dying!
