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

Page 82

"As long as this card is on the field, all of my monsters will become immortal Toon Monsters!"

"At this moment, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, possessing boundless power, will become an even more invincible being!"

"Come on!! Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon!!!"

"Bang!"

Brilliant fireworks exploded on the battlefield, and a thick, colorful comic book flew out of thin air. The pages flipped rapidly until they stopped, and a romantic cartoon castle popped out of the book.

Thanks to this comic book, the originally domineering and majestic Blue-Eyes White Dragon has been transformed into an adorable cartoon baby, playfully sticking out its tongue at its opponent.

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2500]

"Kaiba...this is definitely not the real you..."

The one fighting now is the gentle Yugi Muto, not Yugi. He looks into Seto Kaiba's dull eyes, and his desire to win grows stronger.

"Kaiba, I never expected our first duel would take this form..."

"But don't worry, for the sake of the dignity of fellow duelists, I will definitely win this duel!"

"I will also rescue you from Pegasus's clutches!!"

"My turn! Draw a card!!"

"Whoosh——————————————"

As he drew his card, Youche, his expression grave, realized the unfavorable situation.

The tactics he and Wang Yang discussed could only be effective the first time they were used, and only if Pegasus was careless.

At the start of the duel, Pegasus was playing around and not taking it too seriously. So after briefly sensing Yuche's thoughts with his Millennium Eye, he turned his attention to the other side.

That's why he didn't pay too much attention to "Compensation for the Left Wrist" and "High-Speed Chanting" in Yuche's hand, thus giving Yuche the opportunity to reclaim Horus's Black Flame Dragon.

However, now that the Millennium Eye has lost its effectiveness, Pegasus has become doubly serious. Relying on the Blue-Eyes White Dragon he obtained from Seto Kaiba, he easily crushed the Yu-Chi tactics.

However, those who are skilled at maneuvering will pay a heavy price for the combo they activated in the previous round.

In this turn, Yuzuriha is not only running out of hand cards, but also unable to activate any spell cards.

Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon...

Attack power of three thousand...

While continuing to have the card spirits block Pegasus's mind-reading ability, Youche calmly pondered the situation.

You currently have one monster card in your hand and one face-down card left over from the last turn on the field.

Although that face-down card is a spell card and cannot be activated this turn, the effect of High Speed Incantation will disappear when Pegasus's turn begins.

We should have no problem defending against this guy's next attack.

"Defense Position Summoning - Demon Zoa!"

"Round over!"

"Smack!"

As the card fell, the monster, exuding a dark aura, roared and appeared.

After so many days of competition, this monster gifted by Sugoroku Muto can now be considered one of Yuzuriha's trump cards.

【Demon Zoa】

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Demon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2600/1900]

The duel was taking place simultaneously on both sides.

Having just finished Yugi Muto's turn, Pegasus turned his attention back to Yugi's field.

Demon Zoa...

And a face-down card...

Pegasus closed his eyes, recalling the information he had received through the Millennium Eye.

The last time he used his mind to probe Youche, he saw the combo that summoned the Black Flame Dragon of Horus and the cards in Youche's hand.

After activating Pot of Greed, the cards in Youche's hand are: Foolish Burial, Level Adjustment, Left Arm Compensation, High Speed Cast, Forced Transfer, Attack Nullification, and Forbidden Cloth.

At first, Pegasus thought that after forcibly summoning the Black Flame Dragon of Horus, Yuche would definitely try his best to protect the monster.

Therefore, the most likely outcomes for the three face-down cards at that time were: attack nullification, high-speed casting, and forbidden Cloth.

But to his surprise, Youche changed his strategy while he was trying to understand the game's mind, choosing to use the Left Wrist's Compensation, High-Speed Chanting, and an unknown card.

When he tried to use Mind Reading again, Youche's inner world was already guarded by countless frog spirits.

Judging from the result of Horus Black Dragon and Blue-Eyes White Dragon being destroyed together in the last round, Yuche did not expect that there was Blue-Eyes White Dragon in his deck, so he would not have thought that he would destroy Black Dragon by battle.

Therefore, the mysterious face-down card on the field was not rendered powerless, otherwise Black Flame Dragon would not have been destroyed by Blue-Eyes White Dragon in battle. So the card that could stop the attack should have been banished from the duel by the Left Arm's Compensation.

Based on the information above, it can be inferred that the only face-down card available at this time is likely either Forced Transfer or one of the Forbidden Cloths.

Since Yuche at the time believed that he did not have a monster with attack power exceeding that of Horus the Black Flame Dragon, he would definitely try to find a way to counter the ability to destroy effects.

and so……

At this moment, the only face-down card on the field for the Wandering Boy must be "Forbidden Cloth"!

As for why Yuche didn't use this card when Dragon's Sealing Jar was activated?

The reason is very simple: the forbidden Cloths only prevent monsters from being destroyed by effects and from becoming targets of effects, while the activation of the Dragon Seal Jar targets all Dragon monsters on the field and does not select a target at all.

Even though Yuzuru activated the forbidden Saint Cloth at that time, he could not change the result of Horus's Black Flame Dragon being sealed. Therefore, he chose to use the compensation of his left arm and a high-speed chanting combo to break the Dragon Clan's sealing pot.

“Hmph~ You cheating boy~” Pegasus revealed a smug smile, “In your eyes, I am just a despicable duelist who cheats by relying on the Millennium Eye.”

"But I must tell you that even though the Millennium Eye is now meaningless, I can still see through all your tactics with my absolutely meticulous thinking!"

"Youche Boy~"

"Your final card is undoubtedly a forbidden Saint Cloth!"

"You thought that, protected by that card, I couldn't activate any effects on Demon Zoa, and therefore couldn't harm you by changing its form to start a battle or directly destroying it through effects?"

"But~ have you forgotten that I have a Continuous Trap Card on my field—Blood Sacrifice~"

"As long as this card is on the field, both duelists can make an extra Normal Summon by paying 500 LP!"

"I now have three monsters on my field. If I summon two more monsters this turn, I can launch a full-scale attack on you!"

"And with your forbidden Saint Cloth, you are utterly powerless to stop my onslaught~"

"Looks like the duel's going to end rather abruptly, Youche Boy~"

Ultimately, it was your own cleverness that got you into this mess.

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of Jonouchi and the others, who were watching the battle from both sides, changed drastically.

"Wait! Is Yu Che going to lose?!"

"This, how is this possible..."

"This is terrifying... Even without the Millennium Eye, could Pegasus have done this much?!"

"Don't be fooled by that guy! Pegasus was able to analyze all this because he saw the cards in the player's hand through the Millennium Eye!"

"Is there any point in saying all this? Youche is already...in grave danger!!"

"Hehehe~" Pegasus's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Then, Wandering Boy~ I can finally control your powerful, armed dragon spirit~ and slowly uncover all the secrets in your heart~"

"My turn~ Draw a card!"

"Attack signal summons ~Mermaid~"

"Under the effects of the Cartoon Kingdom, she will transform into an adorable cartoon mermaid~"

A flash of light appeared, and a large, pale blue seashell floated out of the card. The seashell gently opened, revealing a lovely mermaid princess smiling as she held a bow and arrow in her arms.

Pegasus waved his arm and chuckled, "Activate Blood Compensation again, pay 500 LP, and summon an additional one~"

"Cartoon twin spirits ~also an attack symbol~"

As the stage lights shone down, two elven girls dressed in gorgeous gowns gracefully stepped out of the cards.

"Heh heh heh~" Pegasus chuckled smugly, "That's enough~ You nimble boy~"
