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

[Dark Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2500/2100]

"Although Dark Magician can't attack, adding these two cards changes everything!" Yugi shouted. "Attack Position Summon! Sacred Spirit!"

"Activate the Spell Card again—Cross Spell!!"

"This round, the Holy Elf and the Dark Mage will be considered as one monster with an attack power of 3000!!"

"Youche, due to the effect of Soul Relay, you will fail immediately if Armed Dragon Lightning Lv10 is destroyed!!"

"And this attack will end the duel immediately!!!"

"Go! Dark Mage! Holy Elf!!"

A divine light descended, and a serene elven mage descended upon the battlefield, hands clasped in prayer.

【Holy Elf】

【Four stars】

[Light Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 800/2000]

When the King unleashed the cross magic, the two mages stood together. Their powers merged, breaking the restriction that prevented them from attacking due to the silence of the dead, and making their attack power equal to that of Armed Dragon Lightning Lv10!

Dark Mage/Holy Elf, Attack Power: 3000

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

The magic of light and darkness intertwined at this moment! A chaotic beam of light swept across the battlefield like a dazzling neon!

Faced with such an offensive, Armed Dragon Thunder Lv10's eyes flashed with a hint of contempt. It suddenly swung its sharp claws and summoned another dragon lightning bolt that descended from the sky!

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!"

The moment the two attacks collided, the entire battlefield was filled with smoke!

Despite the billowing smoke in front of him, Wang Yang kept his eyes wide open, staring into the obscured distance.

Did it succeed?!

Did you defeat the Armed Dragon?!

Below the stage, the crowd looked at the slowly dissipating dust, their eyes once again filled with shock.

"What?!"

"The Armored Dragon didn't fall!"

"How is this possible! Did Yu Che activate some kind of magic card?!"

"No! The card he just drew is still in his hand!"

Wang Yang exclaimed in shock, "This...how could this be?!"

If Armed Dragon Raiden were a monster from this era, then perhaps this situation wouldn't have occurred.

Armed Dragon is a card that Yuzuru brought here from the previous world. Its attack power and effect far surpass those of monsters in this era.

"This is the effect of Armed Dragon Lightning Lv10," Yuche explained. "When this card's ATK is greater than 100, it has the ability to not be destroyed by battle!"

"Therefore, with equal attack power, the only monsters that were eliminated were your Dark Magician and the Holy Spirit!"

"Game, your turn should be over by now, right?"

"Because of the temporary truce effect, I cannot deal any damage to you this turn. So, after activating a spell card—Pot of Greed, I will end my turn."

"However, when it's your turn again, at the very moment you draw your card!!"

"I'm going to activate the other ability of Armed Dragon Thunder Lv10!!"

"When this card's ATK exceeds 1000, during your opponent's turn, discard one card from your hand, destroy one other card on the field, and this card's ATK increases by 1000!!"

"The card I'm going to destroy is your Demon Summoning!!"

"Due to the rules of the Duel Kingdom, you will suffer backlash damage equal to 30% of that monster's attack power!!!"

Everyone: !!!

Is this the power of Armed Dragon Thunder Lv10?!

Could it really be that terrifying?!

The opponent can destroy one card each turn...

It can also increase one's own combat power?!

If the ability to be immune to battle and the ability to destroy cards are abilities possessed when the monster's attack power is above 100 and 1000 respectively, then does this monster also possess some special abilities when its attack power is above 1 and 10?

But if it were to increase its attack power to 10,000 through its own effects, what terrifying special effects would it possess?!

At this moment, the king was clearly in dire straits!

However, the effect of Armed Dragon Raiden Lv10 can only be activated at the earliest when drawing a card.

In other words, Yugi has one last card left!

If he can draw the crucial card Chain Armed Dragon - Lightning, then he can turn the tide before he suffers backlash damage!

A card...

Only one card available!!

Wang Yang looked at the dark vortex on the back of the deck, his soul seemingly being drawn into the void.

Am I... going to lose?

He had never lost a game before, but this time, he could clearly feel that he was standing on the edge of defeat!

The fear of defeat was unprecedented, and at this moment, even the hand that King Yu reached for the deck seemed to begin to tremble.

But at that moment, in his inner world, another, slightly smaller hand reached out.

Wang Yang was taken aback and turned his head to look. He saw his partner, Yugi Muto, who was smiling gently at the moment.

“Partner…” Wang Yang murmured in astonishment, but the warmth from the depths of his heart gave him the courage to continue drawing cards, even though he was on the verge of despair!

Perhaps, Youche is fighting alongside his spirit.

However, he was never alone!

What's visible yet invisible is the unwavering understanding and friendship between him and his partner!

"I have one last chance with a card before Armed Dragon's effect activates!"

Finally, Yugi placed his hand on the deck. Filled with conviction and carrying his partner's will, he drew the last card of the duel and played it!

As Yugi raised the magic card in his hand, a deep black singularity appeared out of thin air in the sky above the battlefield!

In the blink of an eye, that singularity transformed into a vortex capable of devouring everything. Under its irresistible power, all the monsters on the battlefield were swallowed up within it!

"Spell Card Activated!! Black Hole!!"

"Destroy all the monsters on the field!!!"

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

In an instant, the battlefield fell silent!

The invincible Armed Dragon and the three remaining monsters on the field were simultaneously annihilated!

Yugi was defeated because he lost Armed Dragon Thunder Lv10, and King Yugi also lost all his LP due to the high backlash damage!

Pegasus and the referee stood by, stunned and bewildered.

After a long while, the referee hurriedly waved his flag and loudly announced:

"This duel ends in a draw!!"

draw?!

No one present had anticipated this outcome.

Perhaps the two should have another duel to determine who is superior.

After such an intense and fierce battle, both Youche and Wang Yang were exhausted.

Jonouchi, Kyoko, and the others all looked at Pegasus, waiting for him to give an explanation.

However, facing the gazes of the crowd, Pegasus, who had just recovered from his daze, calmly clapped his hands.

"Slap—slap—slap—"

"Wonderful!" Pegasus exclaimed in his peculiar accent, "What an absolutely brilliant duel!"

"To Game Boy and Gaming Boy, I express my heartfelt gratitude—your existence has elevated Duel Monsters to a higher level!"

I hereby declare!

"Yusei Boy and Yugi Boy will jointly win the highest honor in Duel Monsters, but the title of 'King of Duel' will be temporarily reserved until a true champion emerges in the next tournament!!"

Jonouchi couldn't help but complain, "What the hell! Can't there be two Duel Kings at the same time?!"

Pegasus chuckled and shook his head: "No~No~No~Yellow-haired boy~"

"There can only be one King. If two people become the Duel King, then the title loses its true meaning."

"However, although the title of Duel King will be retained, I'm willing to give both Yugi Boy and Game Boy a chance each~"

"This afternoon, they can all challenge me using their Glory Cards~"

"Until then, please enjoy your last meal in the castle."

We will treat everyone with the utmost sincerity!

Jonouchi was stunned for a moment: "What?! Yellow-haired boy?! You bastard!!"

Compared to Jonouchi, Kyoko's focus was much more crucial: "One challenge opportunity each? Could it be... Pegasus is going to fight two against one?"

Pegasus, who got up and left, ignored the crowd in the arena and instead gently tidied his long hair while revealing a strange smile.

hum~

One against two?

That's something only a blindly confident fool would do.
