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

"Gain control of one face-up Spell Card on the field, and activate its effect!"

"Shift the target of the attack and sealing to Demon Zoa!!"

This is also an anime card that only existed during the DM era!

Under the glow of magic, the demon Zoa knelt on one knee, crossed his arms in front of him, and assumed a defensive stance.

However, this was not unexpected for You Che.

There must be cards in the back row of the King to protect the Silencer!

Looking at his opponent's last two face-down cards, Yugi continued his offensive: "So, Yugi, how do you plan to deal with this card?"

"Spell Card Activated - Dark Seal Sword!"

"Change all monsters on your opponent's field to face-down Defense Position!"

"This card will remain on the field for two turns. As long as this card is on the field, no monster your opponent can change its battle position!"

"Swish!! Swish!! Swish!!!"

Three jet-black demonic swords descended from the sky, and the reflection of a giant skull hung in the air above the battlefield of King Yu!

Under the powerful sealing force, even the Silent Magician with a power of twelve stars was forced to switch to the back defense position.

Wang Yang's expression changed slightly.

"Attack Position Summon - Hunter Death!" Yu Che exclaimed. "Entering the Battle Phase, Hunter Death is a monster that can attack Spell & Trap Cards!"

"Spell and Trap Cards attacked by it will be unable to activate and will be destroyed directly!"

【Card Hunter Reaper】

【Five stars】

[Dark Attribute/Demon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1380/1930]

Yuzuru pointed to one of Yugi's face-down cards and shouted, "Hunter Death! Attack the face-down card on the far right!!"

"Whoosh——————————"

As Death's scythe swung down, a trap card shattered!

That's a "Meteor Shower" that can give your monsters the "Defense Penetration" ability.

"What is Yugi doing?" Jonouchi was dumbfounded. "If he uses the Hunter card Death to attack the Silent Magician, Yugi's ace will be destroyed! Right now, his Demon Zoa is in defense position and can't launch an attack at all!"

"Baka!" Kyoko couldn't help but complain, "Which side are you on anyway?!"

Jonouchi scratched the back of his head and said, "But this decision is really unusual!"

Jōnei is right; the yuche strategy does indeed seem to lack rationality.

However, he still has eight cards in his hand. In this era where spell cards can usually be activated during the battle phase, the possibilities are endless.

"After the Hunter Death's attack, I activate the Spell Card - Monster Resurrection!" Yugi targets Yugi's graveyard, "Resurrecting Chaos Warrior to my field!"

"Chaos Warrior! Attack the Silent Mage!!"

The sacred Anka Cross bursts forth from the earth, and the Chaos Warrior who had previously fallen in battle reappears, but this time, he has become Yugi's enemy!

Chaos Warrior

[Eight Stars]

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2500]

"Drink it!"

The Chaos Warrior swung his giant blade and launched an attack directly at the Silent Magician, who was in a defensive stance due to the Dark Guardian Sword!

Despite the Silent Magician's high attack power of 7000, her weak defense made her completely unable to withstand the Chaos Warrior's attacks!

"Boom!!!!"

Despite the cards being shattered, Youche ultimately managed to launch a brilliant counterattack.

"Set two cards face down," said Youche. "End turn."

The tide of battle has turned.

With only one face-down card left on the field, Yugi must face three monsters from his opponent!

The Chaos Warrior, known as a legendary warrior...

The demon Zoa, with astonishing attack power...

And the Hunter card Deathbringer, which can destroy one Spell/Trap card each turn...

Wang Yang's expression changed from relaxed and confident to serious and earnest. He looked at the card he had drawn, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

The timing was perfect!

"My turn!" Yugi swept the card between his fingers, and a monster imbued with a powerful soul appeared in a dazzling light. "Attack Position Summon! Dark Magician!!"

"Whoosh——————————————"

A rift opened up spacetime, and in the void, a tall wizard dressed in a purple robe slowly emerged.

The staff in his hand was almost indistinguishable from a spear, and as a mage, he had a strong physique that resembled that of a warrior.

Unlike ordinary monsters, this card also seems to contain a spirit. After the Dark Magician appeared, his gaze seemed to sweep across the battlefield.

Upon seeing that his opponents were merely three monsters before him, he smirked slightly, his expression both disdainful and confident.

Dark Magician

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2100]

This is the ultimate trump card of the King!

After summoning Dark Magician, a spell card was also swung from Yugi's hand: "When Dark Magician is on my field, I can activate this card - Thousand Blades!"

"Destroy the Chaos Warriors that rightfully belong to me!!"

"And Youcha, you will suffer effect damage equal to 30% of the Chaos Warrior's attack power due to this effect being destroyed!!"

“Swish, swish, swish————————”

Countless throwing knives shot out from the darkness, instantly defeating the unsuspecting warriors!

"Boom!!!!!"

Amidst the sound of cards shattering, Yugi's LP plummeted, but Yugi's offensive was clearly not over.

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Cruise control, LP: 1800→900

"It's not over yet, Yuzuru! Enter battle phase!" Wang Yang shouted. "Dark Magician! Attack the Reaper Hunter!!"

At his command, the proud dark mage leaped into the air!

With a sudden swing of the dark blue staff, a dark spell was unleashed!

Chapter 88 The Shield of Counterattack! Legendary Warrior and the Strongest Mage!

After several rounds of fierce fighting, Yugi finally summoned his ultimate trump card - Dark Magician!

As soon as this legendary monster appeared, it used a storm of flying knives to destroy the Chaos Warrior that had been taken away by Youche.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his wand and unleashed a terrifying magical attack on the enemy's Hunter Death!

"He's here! The game's ace—Dark Magician!" Jonouchi shouted in celebration.

Honda looked at the magician who was about to launch an attack and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... that the duel is going to end like this?!"

“It won’t be that easy,” Bakura Ryo, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, though it was unclear whether he was his true self or the demon residing in the Millennium Wisdom Wheel. “Yusho still has two face-down cards on the field. It won’t be so easy for Yugi to end the duel this turn.”

Sure enough, just as the Dark Magician was about to launch his attack, a Trap Card was also revealed from the back row of the Yo-Clock.

That was one of the most versatile cards of the current era—Attack Nullification!

"Bang!"

The Dark Magician's attack was ultimately neutralized by Yu Che.

On the surface, Yugi's Dark Magician seems to have a stronger presence; however, when it's Yugi's turn, the Demon Zoa, who had taken a break after switching to defense position, will begin its counterattack.

As a demon-type monster with extremely high attack power, Demon Zoa's attack power is even 100 points higher than that of the Dark Magician!

After setting two more face-down cards, Yugi ended his turn.

Yu Che looked at the bright-eyed "Mahad" and smiled slightly: "Yu Game, you have finally summoned your ace."

"However, the current situation doesn't seem to warrant the deployment of my Armored Dragon!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Convert Demon Zoa to attack stance!!"

"roar--------"

A violent growl sounded, and the demon Zoa lowered his crossed arms and slowly stood up.

With its formidable offensive power, it showed no fear of the archmage before it.

"Entering the battle phase directly! Card Hunter Death, attack your central face-down card!" Yu Che announced loudly. "The attacked Spell & Trap Card will be unable to activate and will be destroyed immediately!!"

The drifting black mist began to spread, and the Grim Reaper, wielding a scythe, resumed its hunt.

However, this time, it wasn't so lucky.

Just as the scythe in its hand was about to fall, the dark mage suddenly swung his staff and shattered it into pieces!

"Bang!"
