This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

This is a relatively complex process in Duel Monsters, which may be difficult for the average player to understand. However, for top-level professional players, Ryuzaki Dinosaur has mastered the use of this mechanism to the extreme.

Now, he was about to give a textbook-perfect demonstration of this operation.

"Let's go!!"

"The Two-Headed Dinosaur King!!"

"Double Dinosaur Stomp!!!"

"Splash—"

A dark blue giant shadow flashed, and the two-headed dinosaur king leaped into the air and flew into the sky!

Immediately afterwards, it used its two huge dragon claws to stomp down on You Shuo's two monsters at the same time!

"Bam—"

Smoke and fire rose in a fierce battle.

Dinosaur Ryuzaki burst into laughter: "Hahahaha!"

"You definitely won't be able to handle this move, right?"

"30% restraint, 30% of the field's strength, both monsters defeated..."

"In the end, you'll only have less than 200 LPs left!"

"To crush an opponent with a single attack—that's the power of the dinosaur race!!"

Amidst the billowing smoke, all the spectators stared in disbelief.

Some fast calculators have already arrived at the answer.

Although You Shuo's LP will not be cleared, only a trace will remain, like a candle flickering in the wind.

however……

A cold wind blew by, and everyone looked closely, only to find that You Shuo's LP was still 2000 points!

Furthermore, all the monsters on his field were unharmed.

[Yu Shuo, LP: 2000]

The dinosaur Ryuzaki was terrified.

"How is that possible?!"

A clear holy light descended, enveloping You Shuo's battlefield.

A sacred song rang out, and several messengers emerged from the holy light.

“Trap Card – Messenger of Peace,” You Shuo said. “This turn, my monsters will not be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage I take will be zero.”

"Dinosaur Ryuzaki, you lost a match in the national tournament, haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

"No matter how strong your dinosaur monsters are, they won't have a good ending if they keep attacking like this without any regard for the consequences."

Ryuzaki the dinosaur gritted his teeth: "None of your business! You've never beaten me, so you have no right to lecture me! Round over!"

Looking at the empty backstage area of ​​Dinosaur Ryuzaki, You Shuo couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

This guy, like the early Joey Wheeler, is a complete brute.

Magic traps are almost never used; monster cards are used to overpower opponents.

After drawing a card from the deck, You Shuo added another face-down card to the back row and easily used the Flame Sword Master to cut off the head of the Two-Headed Dinosaur King.

"Flame Swordsman Attack!"

"With fire attribute advantage, the Two-Headed Dinosaur King will lose its field advantage!"

"Fiery Sword Slash!!!"

"Shh——"

A flash of flame, and the two heads of the two-headed dinosaur king fell to the ground together.

Amidst the exploding flames, Ryuzaki's LP decreased once again.

After the attack, You Shuo summoned another monster.

At this moment, You Shuo had gathered three monsters on his field.

The dinosaur Ryuzaki is in a very dangerous situation.

In the Duel Kingdom era, summoning three monsters in one turn was difficult, but summoning two monsters in one turn was quite common in professional battles.

It's possible that You Shuo will launch a full-scale attack with five monsters next turn.

Dinosaur Ryuzaki felt immense pressure. He knew that under the current circumstances, the dinosaur monsters were unable to unleash their full power.

To win...

You can only summon that card!

That legendary dragon, second only to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in rarity—

A true red-eyed black dragon!

Chapter Forty-Five: The True Red-Eyed Black Dragon

"Even the dinosaurs wouldn't do..."

"We can only rely on that monster..."

Despite being at a huge disadvantage, Ryuzaki the Dinosaur gritted his teeth and drew cards from his deck.

"You Shuo, I admit you have some ability."

"But that's where it ends!"

"Next, I'll show you the super rare monster that I traded my entire fortune for!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Attack indicates a summon--"

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon!!!"

"Shh-"

The moment the card was swung, a deafening dragon roar shook the entire arena, even more astonishing than the previous roar of the two-headed dinosaur king!

A dark red column of molten lava rose from the ground, and amidst the endless flames, a gigantic obsidian-like dragon flapped its wings and flew out!

"Roar!!!!!!!!"

【Red-Eyed Black Dragon】

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Dragon Race]

Attack/Defense: 2400/2000

[Description: A black dragon with crimson eyes. Its furious black flames will incinerate anything that enters its gaze.]

The moment this monster appeared, all the spectators were stunned.

"It's...it's actually a real red-eyed black dragon?!"

"This is an extremely rare dragon monster, second only to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

"So scary... such a strong aura!!"

Hearing the comments from the audience, Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, smirked: "Heh heh, scared now, huh~"

"Dragon monsters are impossible to subdue!"

"2400 attack power may not be enough to crush you."

"But with this card, things are different!"

"Spell Card - Dark Dragon Claw!"

"This card can only be equipped to DARK-attribute Dragon monsters, and it increases the equipped monster's ATK by 600 points!"

A cold gleam appeared from the claws of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. In just an instant, its attack power reached a terrifying level comparable to that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

"Beep beep beep—"

[Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Attack Power: 2400→3000]

Seeing the classic, powerful monster summoned by the dinosaur Ryuzaki, You Shuo seemed to be deep in thought.

Is it a real red-eyed black dragon...?

Regardless of its strength, the price of this card is simply outrageous.

Plus……

"You Shuo, there's an elf in that card."

Suddenly, You Shuo's card spirit—the Tree Spirit—speaked.

You Shuo fixed his gaze on the pitch-black dragon that appeared through the 3D projection.

really……

Unlike conventional 3D projections, this black dragon has many lifelike differences.

Of course, these differences can only be seen by a few people who can communicate with elves.

"A black dragon with spirits..."

"That would be completely different!"

You Shuo quickly recalled.

"It seems that's indeed the case."

"In the original work, this Red-Eyes Black Dragon was won by Jonouchi Katsuya."

"And in the later duel, it resonated with the bond between Katsuya Jonouchi and Yoshihiro."

"It is indeed a card containing a spirit..."

Recalling all this, You Shuo began to consider taking the true red-eyed black dragon into his possession.

At the same time, the smug little dinosaur Ryuzaki arrogantly said:

"Hum~"

"Dragon monsters are not subject to restraint."

"And ordinary dragon monsters do not possess special stealth abilities."

"However, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon are exceptions!"

"When there are three Blue-Eyes White Dragons on the field, you can launch an all-out attack that leads to victory."

"But the Red-Eyes Black Dragon is a king of one-on-one combat!"

"After this card destroys a monster by battle, it can destroy another of your opponent's monsters. This destruction is considered a battle destruction!"

"Let's go!!"

"Red-Eyed Black Dragon!!"

"Attack Magic Gentleman J!!"

"And it will also shatter the Flame Swordsman!!"

Faced with the rolling black flame bullets, You Shuo pressed down the card he was about to activate.

To get the dinosaur Ryuzaki to consider gambling, the only way is to first give him the upper hand.

"Boom—"

The exploding black flame bullet blasted the two monsters on the field into dust.

Amidst the drifting debris, You Shuo's LP rapidly decreased.

"Beep beep beep—"

[You Shuo, LP: 2000→500]

The hidden trait of Red-Eyes Black Dragon is somewhat similar to that of Great Moth, both being special combat destructions that do not involve damage calculation.
