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

[Attack/Defense: 2400/2000]

"Put a card in the stamp!"

"Round over!"

No one could remain unperturbed by this opening.

Jonouchi stared wide-eyed and exclaimed, "Hey! He summoned two such powerful monsters right off the bat? Yuzuriha... does he have to be so fierce?"

Honda was equally stunned: "I don't know, but no matter how you look at it, Yuche has already gained the upper hand, and the situation seems unfavorable for the game!"

Despite facing two top-tier monsters, King Yu showed no panic whatsoever, instead revealing a delighted smile: "Well done, Yuzuriha!"

"It's this kind of duel that makes people fight with all their might!"

"Then my turn begins!"

"Defense Position Summon - Kuriboh!"

"Curry~ Curry~~"

A cute chirping sound came, and a fluffy, spherical monster flew into the battlefield. Compared to the two powerful dark-attribute monsters, it was really too weak.

"What?!" Jonouchi couldn't understand Yugi's actions. "He's actually using Kuriboh to deal with Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Devil Zoa? There's no way he can win!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang simply smiled confidently: "You're wrong, Jonouchi. The significance of the Kuriboh is not offense, but defense!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Multiply!"

"Under this card's effect, Kuriboh will split into countless smaller ones!!"

The tiny Kuriboh waved its claws and continued to chirp "Kuri Kuri!" A faint light emanated from its body, and Kuriboh derivatives floated out of thin air, quickly covering Yugi's battlefield.

Wang Yang smiled and said, "Although Kuriboh has very low attack power, it is a very special monster."

"When Kuriboh is attacked or affected by an effect, it will self-destruct, reducing all damage to zero."

"In other words, Yuzuriha, no matter how you attack Kuriboh, even if you use effect destruction, my LP won't be deducted at all!"

"My turn is over! Your turn!"

During the Duel Kingdom era, Kuriboh had two additional effects besides being used as a hand trap. One was what Yugi just mentioned, and the other was the vaguely described "Mecha-Gun."

In the original anime, Yugi used Kuriboh's "machine-based" properties to destroy all the eyes of the Millennium Sacrifice God, thus turning the tide of the battle. As for the underlying principles, that remains unknown.

Looking at the Kuriboh that was still splitting apart on the field, Yu Che couldn't help but gasp, but with the addition of a card, his eyes brightened again:

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Since my attacks are ineffective against you, I'll set a card face down and end my turn."

"However, at the start of your turn, I'm going to activate the trap card—Battle Frenzy!"

"Change all monsters on your field to Attack Position. You cannot change their battle position this turn."

"Furthermore, during this turn, all your attackable monsters must launch an attack!"

"In the game, Kuribohs can indeed negate all damage when attacked, but it's different when they attack first!"

"Whether you attack the Red-Eyes Black Dragon or the Demon Zoa, you will suffer high levels of Life Points damage!!"

"Smack!"

The moment the trap card was activated, countless Kuribohs transformed into attack stances as if injected with adrenaline. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they launched an offensive even when facing monsters many times stronger than themselves.

With the appearance of the Battle Maniac card, Yugi's original tactics could no longer be activated.

He originally planned to summon the Catapult Turtle in the second round and then launch the Kuriboh as a cannonball.

The effect of the Catapult Turtle is that, once per turn, you can tribute one of your monsters to inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of that monster's ATK.

With Kuriboh's protection, Yuzuriha doesn't need to worry about Yuzuriha's attacks at all. He only needs to sacrifice one Kuriboh each turn to gradually wear Yuzuriha down.

But now, he has to abandon that idea.

"A good response!" Wang Yang praised. "However, I have a Ritual Spell Card that can resolve this situation."

"As the competition has progressed to this point, the wonderful uses of ritual summoning are no longer a secret."

"Offering all Kuribohs on my field as sacrifices, I ritually summon—Chaos Warrior!!"

"Come forth! The strongest warrior of legend!!"

The chaotic light engulfed countless angry Kuribohs, and after absorbing enough powerful energy, a long-haired warrior clad in dark purple armor and wielding a shield and sword leaped into the arena!

Despite being affected by the Battle Frenzy effect, he has an attack power comparable to Blue-Eyes White Dragon and is not afraid of any monster on the field!

Chaos Warrior

[Eight Stars]

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2500]

With a wave of his arm, King Yu commanded, "Chaos Warriors! Attack Red-Eyes Black Dragon!!"

"Tap tap tap tap————————"

The Chaos Warrior, filled with boundless fighting spirit, charged forward and suddenly leaped up when he was ten steps away from the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, unleashing a devastating slash!

"But the instant you attack, I activate the Trap Card—Metall Magic Reflect Armor!" Yuzuru shouted. "Under this card's effect, Red-Eyes Black Dragon will transform into Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon, and when attacked, it can absorb half of the attacking monster's attack power!"

"Hmph~" Wang Yang smirked, "But I expected this! He summoned both the Demon Zoa and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon at the same time, but only chose to set one card face down as a defense!"

"Then that card is very likely Metallized Magic Reflect Armor, which can be used by both monsters!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Trap Disarm! Destroy the Metallized Magic Reflection Armor!"

"Chaos Warrior! Defeat Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon!!"

Metallized Magic Reflection Armor is a type of Equip Card. When Yugi destroys this card, the monsters in the game no longer have the ability to absorb the opponent's monster's attack power.

Without any special effects, the Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon is no match for the Chaos Warrior.

A cold glint swept across, and with a roar, its dragon head was severed!

"boom!!!!!!"

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

After completing a round of attacks, Wang Yang said, "Set two cards face down, end of turn."

The first round of combat ended with You Che suffering combat injuries, but his condition was not affected in the slightest.

"My turn! Draw!" Youche quickly gathered his thoughts and launched a counterattack. "Activate the Spell Card - Angel's Charity, draw three cards, and then discard two cards from my hand!"

"Then activate the Spell Card - Foolish Burial, and send Evil Spirits from the Deck to the Graveyard!"

Can evil spirits and suffering cease?!

A sharp glint flashed in Wang Yang's eyes; he quickly realized what combo You Che was about to unleash.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Evil Spirit's Bitterness Cessation should only have one purpose: to pave the way for summoning the Death Frog!"

Having seen through everything, King Yu revealed the magic card he had prepared long ago.

"You Che, you want to summon three death frogs and then activate the Death Chorus, right?"

"But before that, I need to activate the magic card—Soul Liberation!"

"Select up to five cards from both players' graveyards to banish from the game!!"

In this era of monster resurrection, Soul Liberation is the best counter card because there are very few cards that can recover resources from the banished zone. As long as you can banish the opponent's trump card, it is equivalent to cutting off the enemy's arm!

Under the effect of Soul Release, all cards in the graveyard are revealed.

Among them were two evil spirits suffering from pain!

The other one was thrown down through the charity of the angels.

Upon seeing this, Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters, couldn't help but clap his hands lightly, expressing his immense appreciation for Yugi's judgment.

Once the game is activated, the Death Frog will be summoned. Depending on the monster's effect, all three Death Frogs will appear together, at which point the devastating Death Chorus will occur.

When the two Tadpole Monsters and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon were sent to the banished zone, Yu Che looked somewhat shocked.

Is Wang Yang's judgment really that sharp?

However, considering that King Yu had seen his previous duels, it's not necessarily anything special that he would know his tactics inside and out.

You Che laughed easily, "Since you've cracked the magic card combo, I'll just go for a direct attack!"

"Enter battle phase!"

"Demon Zoa attacks Chaos Warrior! In that instant, I activate the Spell Card - One Against All!"

"Increases Demon Zoa's attack power by 1500 until the end of the turn!!"

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

Encouraged by the magic card, the demon Zoa roared to the sky, its fighting power surging. It crossed its arms in front of it and then swung them around!

A dark purple energy shot out and blasted towards the Chaos Warrior!

At this moment, the Demon Zoa's attack power reached 4100, which the Chaos Warrior could not stop at all!

But Wang Yang showed no fear in the face of such an attack: "In that case, you've stepped into my trap!"

"Continuous Trap Card activated - Binding of the Hexagram!!"

"Makes the demon Zoa unable to attack and unable to change its form!!"

A six-pointed star magic circle suddenly lit up, attempting to bind the demon Zoya to the spot.

But just then, a spell card that Yugi had just activated flew out of the graveyard and blasted the trap card he had activated into pieces!

"What?!" Wang Yang exclaimed in surprise.
