Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

They were naturally extremely excited to see You Yang again.

With a smile on his face, You Yang waved to the audience around him as a greeting, and then stepped onto the towering competition platform.

And then his opponent appeared before him.

He was a young man who looked exceptionally clean and tidy.

He was wearing a pure white, well-tailored high-necked trench coat, spotless white gloves, and not a speck of dust on his body.

His hair was a smooth, silvery color, like moonlight, and he always wore a gentle yet aloof smile.

"Gu Ning! Gu Ning! Gu Ning!!!"

Off the field, a deafening roar of cheers erupted for the young man named Gu Ning.

Apart from a few dark horses like You Yang, most of the duelists who have made it this far are already star players who have gained a lot of audience support.

[The duel begins!]

At the referee's command, both players simultaneously inserted their Duel Disks into their respective decks!

The virtual coin was tossed high into the air, tracing a graceful arc before finally falling to the ground.

Looking at the handsome face displayed above, You Yang's face turned a little green.

How come I lost again while guessing the coin?

"I choose to attack first."

Gu Ning's gentle voice, like a spring breeze, rang out, and You Yang had no choice but to draw five initial cards from his deck.

"My turn."

"I activate the magic card from my hand—[Reinforcements]!"

"Based on its effect, I can add one Level 4 or lower Warrior monster from my deck to my hand."

"I choose to add [Enter the Demon - Northern River II] to my hand from the deck."

Gu Ning sent one of his cards to the graveyard, then drew another card from his deck.

Looking at the "Reinforcements" sign that Gu Ning had sent to the cemetery, You Yang's gaze was somewhat fiery.

[Reinforcements] Ah!

You can directly search your deck for any Warrior-Type monster of level 4 or lower.

There is no limit to once per round.

There are an enormous number of powerful Warrior-type monsters of level 4 or lower in Yu-Gi-Oh!

If only he could get his hands on it. But for You Yang, it was just a dream.

These powerful and versatile magic cards are extremely expensive, and he can't afford them right now.

We can only hope to get two in the future.

Chapter 120 Double Lockdown! Summoning of five-star and above is prohibited!

Gu Ning did not summon the monster he had just retrieved. Instead, he drew another card from his hand and calmly inserted it into the Duel Disk.

"Next, I activate my second spell card—[Rough Man's Expectations]!"

A beam of pure light shot out from the card, tearing open a massive spatial portal in the empty space in front of Gu Ning.

"This can only be activated if you have no monsters on your field."

Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from your Deck.

"I choose to Special Summon [Demon's Bloodstone] from my deck!"

As Gu Ning slapped down the card that automatically popped up from the deck, a tall warrior wielding a cyan longsword and whose body was made of hard cyan stone slowly walked out of the spatial portal with heavy steps!

【Entering the Demon - Bloodstone】【★4】【Rock Race/Dark】【Attack: 1950 / Defense: 650】

You Yang clicked his tongue.

A four-star normal monster has an attack power of 1950 points, which is considered a very powerful monster in this world.

However, in the real Yu-Gi-Oh! game, mere attack power is far from enough!

"Next, I usually summon [Entering the Demon - Hokurikusa]!"

Gu Ning then slapped down another card in her hand.

A fallen warrior clad in heavy black armor appeared silently on his field, kneeling on one knee. He slowly raised his once proud head.

He was once, perhaps, a constellation knight of unparalleled glory and brilliance, one of the brightest stars in the night sky.

But at this moment, his armor was covered with ominous, dark red patterns that spread like a virus and kept writhing.

Through the gaps in the helmet, what shone through was no longer that resolute gaze like the stars, but a pair of scarlet eyes filled with hatred and madness!

[Entering the Demon Realm - Kitagawa II] [★4] [Dark/Warrior/Effect] [Attack: 1750 / Defense: 550]

"The special ability of [Entering the Demon Realm: Hohenzoller] is activated!"

"The turn this card is successfully summoned, in addition to your Normal Summon, you may summon 1 monster with 'Entangle' in its name, once per turn."

After Gu Ning finished speaking, he did not perform a normal summon as everyone expected. Instead, he slowly picked up the two cards from the Duel Disk.

A torrent of data suddenly surged up before him!

A pure white halo, belonging to the connection summon, then appeared!

"Appear."

His voice was still gentle, but now it carried a strange chill.

"The circuit that leads to despair and the spread of plague!"

"Arrow confirmed!"

"The summoning condition is—two 'Possessed' monsters!"

"I've set the [Demon-Entered Bloodstone] and [Demon-Entered Northern River] on the field as the connection markers!"

A dark red and a pitch-black stream of energy, like two corrupted souls, roared as they poured into the two ominous arrow marks above them!

"LINK Summon! LINK-2!"

"Let us take root here—[Invade the Source of Demons]!"

At the center of the Gate of Connection, a dense black miasma, like a plague outbreak, suddenly erupted!

Amidst the miasma, a gigantic and malevolent heart, composed of countless intertwined, twisted black tree roots and ferocious thorns, slowly descended onto the field, suspended by countless thick, rusty chains!

Its main body is that dark core that, like a living thing, constantly emits a "thump, thump" sound.

At the very center of the core, a crack filled with sharp teeth appeared, forming a hideous, malice-filled smile!

[Infiltrate the Source of Demons] [LINK-2 /↑↓] [Dark/Demon/Link/Effect] [Attack Power: 2000]

"Next, I activate the effect of [Arigino the Demon from the Other Shore] in my hand!"

"You can activate this effect if you have no Spell/Trap Cards on your field. Special Summon this card from your hand."

"I Special Summon it at the connection point below [Intrusion into the Source of Demons]!"

A silver-haired demon with huge dark red wings, a handsome face but a hint of evil, appeared on Gu Ning's field.

【Arigino, the Demon from the Other Shore】【★3】【Demon/Dark】【Attack: 1200 / Defense: 0】

"at this time!"

"The effect of [Arigino the Demon from the Other Shore] will activate!"

"If you control a monster other than a 'Otherworld' monster, this card will be destroyed."

Blue flames, like the fires of hell, suddenly ignited on the body of [Arikino, the demon from the other side], quickly engulfing its agile form.

Strangely, the burning remains of the [Demon Arigino of the Other Shore] did not dissipate with the wind. Instead, they turned into a black energy that was completely absorbed by the [Invading Source of Demons] in front of them!

Gu Ning immediately waved his hand and said:

"At this very moment! The effect of [Invading the Source of Demons] will activate!"

"Once per turn, this effect can be activated when a monster on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect and sent to the Graveyard."

Special Summon from your Deck a Level 4 or lower "Entangled" monster that has at most the number of monsters that caused the destruction.

"Just now, a monster was destroyed by a card effect, so I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower 'Entangled' monster from my Deck in Defense Position."

"Appear! [Demonic Twin Serpent Staff Wielder]!"

The Fallen Staff Wielder, wielding a golden scepter with twin serpents, possessing pure white wings, and clad in dark armor that is identical to that of [Entering the Demon - Northern River II], exuding an ominous aura, appeared silently!

[Demonic Twin-Serpent Staff Wielder] [★4] [Mage/Dark] [Attack: 1600 / Defense: 1550]

"I activate the effect of [Demonic Twin Serpent Staff Wielder] on the field!"

"You can banish 1 'Entangled' monster from your Graveyard, then target 1 'Entangled' monster in your Graveyard."

"Add that monster to your hand."

"I will remove [Enter the Demon - Bloodstone] from the graveyard and add [Enter the Demon - Northern River II] from the graveyard back to my hand!"

The Demonic Twin Serpent Staff Wielder gently waved the magnificent golden scepter in his hand, and two beams of light shot out from its tip.

A bright, star-like light disappeared into Gu Ning's graveyard area; a dark, twilight-like light returned a card to his hand!

After adding the [Entering the Demon - Beihe II] card to his hand, Gu Ning immediately revealed it and continued:

"The effects of the [Demonic Twin Serpent Staff] are not limited to this!"

"At this moment, the second effect of [Demonic Twin Serpent Staff Wielder] activates!"

"You can activate this card's ① effect during the Main Phase of the turn you apply it. Summon 1 'Entangle' monster."

"What I'm summoning is naturally the [Demon-Entered - Hohenzollern] that I just added to my hand!"

Gu Ning slammed the card down again, and the fallen warrior clad in heavy black armor reappeared on the field.

[Entering the Demon Realm - Kitagawa II] [★4] [Dark/Warrior/Effect] [Attack: 1750 / Defense: 550]

"The effect of 【Enter the Demon - Northern River Two】 is not limited to once per turn!"
