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

The alluring queen, not yet skilled in manipulating magic, was about to strike the weak succulent frog when she discovered that her target had already been drawn into a vortex by the fused light.

The three frogs croaked and jumped together. In the shimmering light, a thunderous "burp" rang out, making everyone's eardrums ache!

"Boom!!!!"

A giant green frog, standing four meters tall, descended from the sky. From its appearance, it seemed like a kind and gentle monster. But judging from its terrifying size, the Three Dead Frog's destructive power was definitely comparable to some dragon monsters!

Three dead frogs

[Aquarium/Water Element]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2000]

"belch--------"

After appearing, the three dead frogs opened their huge mouths and exhaled puffs of emerald green poisonous gas.

Upon seeing this colossal creature, Kong Que Wu's pupils constricted: "Tsk!"

“Since the Three Dead Frogs have disappeared, the effect of the Enchantress Queen has also failed,” Yu Che said. “And since the Three Dead Frogs are a Level 8 monster, you have no way to control them.”

"At the same time, the effect of Three Dead Frogs is that this card's attack power is increased by 500 times the number of Dead Frogs in the graveyard."

"There is a Yellow Springs Frog in my graveyard, so the attack power of the three dead frogs will reach 3000!!"

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

Three Dead Frogs, Attack Power: 2500 → 3000

"What a disgusting monster..." Mai Kongju frowned. "Set two cards face down! End turn!"

At this point, the Enchantress Lv3 is merely a monster with an attack power of 500, and it exists only in the form of an attack.

If the three dead frogs launch an attack, the Peacock Dance will suffer combat damage that is simply unbearable.

Although Yuche knew very well that there must be a troublesome face-down card in the back row of the Peacock Dance deck, without knowing the back row options for the time being, he knew that if he didn't step on the trap, it would always be a trap.

It was Youche's turn again. He waved his arm and issued the attack command: "Enter battle phase! Three Dead Frogs! Attack the Enchantress Lv3!!"

"Croak!!!!!"

The extremely rough croaking of frogs rang out once again like thunder!

The emerald green poison gas slowly spread outwards from the three dead frogs!

On the surface, it seems like a harmless attack, but as soon as the alluring queen comes into contact with the deadly gas, she will be instantly dissolved, leaving not even bones behind!

Facing Yu Che's aggressive attack, Mai Kongque shouted, "Trap Card activated - Enemy Attack Alert!"

"When your opponent's monster declares an attack, Special Summon 1 monster from your hand. As long as the monster Special Summoned by this effect is on the field, your opponent cannot target other monsters for attacks!"

"Special Summon in Defense Position!! Queen's Royal Guard!!!"

"Whoosh————————————"

Three sharp knightly swords were drawn at the same time, and the royal knights who swore to serve the queen to the death appeared out of thin air and stood in front of the alluring queen!

The Queen's Guard

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1700/1200]

The attack of the three dead frogs ultimately failed to defeat the enchanting queen. As the sound of cards shattering rang out, the queen's guards, who appeared in time, perished in the poison gas.

"Set one card face down, end the turn," the composed Yuche announced.

Without plundering an opponent's monster, the Enchantress is unable to evolve.

Youche hardly needs to do anything; a Three Dead Frogs with an attack power of 3000 is enough to quell the current situation.

“Three Dead Frogs…” Mai Kongque’s expression turned serious. She drew a card and shouted, “Since there are no monsters that the Queen of Enchantment can take, then I will create one myself!”

"My turn! Attack position summon! Harpie!"

Pure white feathers drifted down slowly, and a young eagle-like girl with gorgeous golden hair flew out of the card.

【Hawk Girl】

[Two stars]

[Wind Attribute/Bird Beast Race]

[Attack/Defense: 500/500]

"Activate the Spell Card - Purple Flame Spy!"

"This round, we'll transfer control of the Harpie to our opponent!"

"Activate the effect of the Enchanting Queen Lv3 again, and equip this card with the Harpie Girl on your field as an Equip Card!"

The alluring queen finally had the opportunity to practice her magic. With a gentle wave of her staff, a crimson energy enveloped the harpy girl's entire body.

As the staff slowly moved, the lost harpy girl joined the ranks of the alluring queen.

"I'm changing my Enchantress Lv3 to Defense Position!" said Mai Peacock. "With her current attack power, she can't defeat your Three Dead Frogs, so after setting one card, my turn ends!"

Do you already have an equipment card?

You Che's gaze sharpened slightly.

When an equipment card is available, the Enchantress can not only evolve during the preparation phase, but also use an equipment card to replace herself being destroyed in battle.

One dead frog is not enough to drive Peacock Dance to the brink of defeat; we must add another monster!

"Peacock Dance, now that you've summoned your Lv monster, it's time for my true ace to be revealed." Yu Che waved the card in his hand, and a powerful dragon monster appeared—Armed Dragon Lv5!

"Attack Status Summon! Armored Dragon Lv5!"

"Activate his effect to send the starving refugees from your hand to the Graveyard and destroy all monsters on your field with ATK less than 600!"

"roar----------"

The ferocious, armed dragon roared, took a step forward, and mercilessly unleashed its dragon breath at the alluring queen!

Compared to the destructive power of a Lv10 Armed Dragon, this level of attack is far inferior, but it is enough to defeat the Queen of Charm, who is only level 3!

Now, the Enchantress Queen is Mai's only hope. To save this monster, she activates her face-down card without reservation: "Spell Card activated! Forbidden Cloth! This turn, the Enchantress Queen Lv3's ATK is reduced by 600 and cannot be destroyed by card effects!!"

"Boom..."

The Saint Cloth that descended from the sky blocked the effect of Armored Dragon, but Yu Che's attack had only just begun: "Then let's enter the battle phase! Armored Dragon Lv5 attacks Enchantress Lv3!!"

Peacock Dance gritted her teeth and played her last trap card: "The moment you attack, I activate Precision Defense!"

"You can activate this effect when your opponent's monster declares an attack. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position. The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot be destroyed by effects or battle this turn!"

"Rise again!! The Queen's Royal Guard!!"

The Queen's Guard

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1700/1200]

"At the same time, due to the effectiveness of the Queen's Guard!"

"As long as this card is on the field, you cannot target the Enchantress as an attack!!"

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

The knights who had previously died in battle reappeared and fought desperately to protect their queen.

Because of the presence of the Queen's Guard, Yuche can only attack this card, but because of Precision Defense, this card cannot be destroyed by battle...

This offensive was ultimately withstood by the Peacock Dance.

Yuzuru seems to have realized the crisis. This turn, Armed Dragon Lv5 failed to destroy a monster in battle, so it cannot evolve into its Level 7 form. Next turn, Peacock Dance will allow the evolved Enchantress Lv5 to steal Armed Dragon!

tsk...

It was expected that the ace of the peacock dance wouldn't be ruined by the effect.

Because the Peacock Dance team will definitely prepare counter cards in advance.

But is there really no way to fight it?

"I'm sorry, Youche." After struggling for two rounds, Peacock Dance finally smiled. "Your offensive was fierce, but the alluring queen has finally completed her evolution!"

"My turn begins!"

"When the effect of Enchantress Lv3 is triggered, during your Standby Phase, if this card has an Equip Card that is equipped by its own effect, it can evolve into Enchantress Lv5!!"

The crimson energy that had been floating between the staffs split in two, and the young, alluring queen underwent a transformation at that moment, becoming an even more powerful magician!

She looked at the armed dragon opposite her with an imposing gaze, as if she had already decided that it had become her prey.

【The Enchanting Queen Lv5】

【Five stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1000/1000]

"Activate the effect of Enchantress Lv5!" Mai Kongjaku shouted. "Equip one of your opponent's Level 5 or lower monsters to this card as an Equip Card! My target is—Armed Dragon Lv5!"

"Not so easy!" You Che exclaimed. "Spell Card activated—Level Up! Evolve Armed Dragon to Lv7!!"

"This is the moment I've been waiting for!" A sly glint flashed in Mai's eyes. "If we blindly pursue evolution, the Enchantress Queen simply won't be able to keep up with the Armored Dragon's speed! So, I prepared this card in advance—Level Down! Turn the Armored Dragon Lv7 back into Armored Dragon Lv5!!"

"You! Your trump card will ultimately become the slave of the alluring queen!!"

A dazzling light of evolution flashed by!

An unprecedented sense of powerlessness washed over the Armored Dragon. Just as it was about to transform into an even more powerful form, it was pulled back into the mire by an invisible force...

Finally, the Armored Dragon Lv5, who had lost his mind, slowly walked towards the alluring queen and gradually lowered his head.

Seeing this, Jonouchi said with some concern, "But... it should be alright, right? The Enchantress Queen has very low attack power and is no match for the Three Dead Frogs."

Wang Yang gazed at the battlefield for a long time before saying, "I'm afraid not. Look at the expression on Kong Que Wu's face; she clearly already has the means to defeat the Three Dead Frogs."
