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

Is the duel about to be lost?

You Che looked at his hand. Apart from a series of useless cards that offered no help in the current battle, he only had one card left: Eliminate…

and many more! !

A glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in You Che's eyes.

My current hand contains Demon Lord, Wisdom of the Demon, and Red-Eyes Black Dragon. If I activate Hand Destroy, all three monsters will be sent to the Graveyard.

If we can draw Dark Armed Dragon again, we can rely on this card's powerful destructive force to achieve a comeback!

only……

Can the Armed Dragon Spirit still help me draw that Victory Card at this point?

"Trying to rely on the power of the elves again?" Pegasus sneered. "I know you have a Dark Armed Dragon in your deck. If you draw that card, you might have a slight chance to turn the tide."

"But, Youche Boy, why do you think today's competition format was arranged this way?"

"Whether it's creating derivative cards or helping duelists draw the cards they want, card spirits consume a huge amount of energy."

"After a full day of dueling, your Armored Dragon is severely depleted, although the intense duel with Game Boy has replenished it considerably."

"But in this dark duel that is currently underway, your spirit is protecting you every single second!"

"After so many rounds, your poor Armed Dragon is completely exhausted. You want it to help you draw cards under these circumstances?"

"Heh, You Che, you really are a ruthless master~"

Every word Pegasus uttered was like a vicious lash.

Youche looked at the armed dragon spirit in front of him and saw that it was no longer as spirited as before.

Dark duels constantly drain the duelists' mental energy; without the help of the spirits, Yuzuru would have fallen long ago.

The immense pressure gradually weakened the Armed Dragon, rendering it unable to assist Youche any longer.

As for those tadpole spirits and frog spirits...

Their power is too weak; they can't even speak, so they can't possibly bear the pressure of a dark duel for even a second for Youche.

Looking at the vortex behind the deck, Youche gritted his teeth.

Now, we really can only rely on luck!

Without the help of the Armed Dragon, I must draw that card!!

"Spell Card activated - Hand Elimination!!"

"Whoosh——————————"

Desperate, Youche discarded all his cards and started drawing new ones.

However, as each card was drawn, Youche's heart sank little by little.

No, no... still no!

When only one card remained to be drawn, Youche's hands were trembling uncontrollably.

and so……

Has he been able to get to where he is today entirely thanks to the power of the Armed Dragon?

Perhaps the reason he defeated insects and moths, and even the dinosaur Ryuzaki, was due to his experience as a card dealer in his previous life...

He can defeat Kaiba and fight to a draw with Yugi, but all of this is due to his bond with the Spirits.

Without the Armored Dragon, will he ultimately be unable to defeat Pegasus before him?

You Che's hand rested on the deck, but he hesitated to draw the card, unsure of what fate awaited him.

Pegasus laughed coldly, as if watching a trapped beast; as the father of Duel Monsters, his eyes held only mockery and ridicule.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the space of the Dark Duel.

Youche was taken aback.

That was... the King's voice?!

"Play the card, draw a card!"

In the chaotic darkness, it seemed as if golden light flashed from ancient building blocks.

Wang Yang's voice also came along with that beam of light.

"Yu Che, do not be afraid. For a true duelist, every draw is inevitable!"

"Your card has always protected you, and now it's your turn to protect it!"

"You once said that Armed Dragon is to you what Blue-Eyes White Dragon is to your grandfather, so that card must be of great significance to you!"

"Then protect it with your will and strength as a duelist!!"

"Yuchi, muster your courage and draw the final card of reversal!!!"

Chapter 98 The Soul Regains Its Freedom

Upon hearing Wang Yang's voice, Youche, whose heart had been wavering, was stunned.

Has the duel over there ended?

Pegasus couldn't help but frown. From the moment he entered the Dark Game, he had focused more of his attention on the duel at hand.

However, the power of the game was clearly much stronger than he had imagined.

The moment his control over Seto Kaiba loosened, Yugi seized the opportunity and used a perfect combo to achieve victory.

"Tsk!" Pegasus's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "Yugi! You actually intend to use the power of the Millennium Puzzle to support Yugi?!"

Wang Yang's resolute voice echoed in the dark space.

"Roam! Draw a card!!"

At this moment, Youche's deck also shone with dazzling golden light!

With the help of the Millennium Puzzle, the mental pressure on Yuche is rapidly decreasing. The Armored Dragon Spirit, who has just caught a breath, lets out a roar at the last moment!

"Whoosh————————————"

The card, shimmering with golden light, was drawn with a swift motion!

You Che looked at the last card he had drawn through the elimination of his hand, his eyes reflecting a brilliant hue.

The Dark Armed Dragon has arrived!

*Smack!*

Yu Che slammed down the hopeful Reversal Card, and his powerful mental energy instantly created the image of the monster!

"Pagodas, I will use this card to break all your seals!!"

"When there are three monsters in my Graveyard, Special Summon—Dark Armed Dragon—from my hand!!!"

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

An angry dragon's roar reverberated throughout the dark space!

Armed Dragon Spirit flew out from the petrified Armed Dragon Lv5 and transformed into the Dark Form of Armed Dragon in another monster area!

Endless malevolent energy surged from the graveyard, and wisps of black mist coalesced into a colossal figure within this terrifying space!

Suddenly, the enormous dragon shadow stretched out its sharp claws and pierced through the black mist, as if tearing a coffin from a grave. The dark armed dragon pulled aside the dark energy in front of it and stepped into the battlefield with a bang!

Dark Armed Dragon

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2800/1000]

Large beads of sweat rolled down Pegasus's face, but a sliver of hope remained in his heart.

The power of the Dark Armed Dragon is indeed comparable to that of the Thousand-Eyed Sacrifice God, but even if it activates its effect to destroy the Thousand-Eyed Sacrifice God, it will only suffer a maximum of 900 LP damage and will still have 100 HP left.

The other monster on my field is Dark Eyes Illusionist with zero ATK. This monster is in Defense Position, so I won't take any damage whether it's destroyed by battle or by effect!

"Activate the effect of Dark Armed Dragon!" Standing in the shadow of Dark Armed Dragon, Yuzuru pointed at the fantasy monster covered in eyes and shouted, "Dispel one DARK monster from the Graveyard!"

"Destruction!! Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial God!!"

"Because it absorbed the Torture Giant, its attack power has reached 3,000, so you will suffer 900 points of backlash damage!!!"

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

The Dark Armored Dragon roared once more!

It gathered dark power and launched a fierce attack on the most evil monster!

An extreme black dragon breath burst forth in an instant, and one after another, the eyes of the Thousand-Eyed Sacrificial God exploded!

Finally, when the hideous monster disintegrated, the purple light that had shrouded the battlefield for so long also dissipated.

"Enter battle phase!"

"Dark Armed Dragon! Attack the Dark-Eyed Illusionist!!"

"Boom!!!!!"

Another incredibly powerful attack! A black flame swept across the battlefield, blasting yet another of Pegasus's monsters to smithereens!

"Click...click click..."

The petrification on the Lv5 Armored Dragon gradually shattered, and at this moment, it finally regained its freedom.

The appearance of the Dark Armed Dragon completely reversed the course of the battle!

At this point, Pegasus only had 100 LP left, and he had no cards left on the field or in his hand!

After placing a card face-down, Yuche ended his turn.

Pegasus, who had just been severely injured, slowly raised his head. His once neat long hair was now disheveled, and bright red blood was constantly seeping from his thousand-year-old eyes!

"It's not over yet...it's not over yet!" Pegasus roared frantically and unwillingly, "As long as we can resurrect the Thousand-Eyed Nash God!"

"I can seize the Dark Armored Dragon and shatter its Lv5 form!!"
