This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

"Once the slot machine fires, you've basically already won!"

You Shuo's gaze swept over the cards on the thief Keith's deck.

"really."

Slot machines...

The tactic of Thief Keith is most likely to use the Machine-type Equipment Card -7 to enhance the slot machine.

Each 7-card provides 700 points of attack and defense for the slot machine.

The hidden characteristics of slot machines will change depending on the number of 7 cards they have equipped and their attack or defense bonus.

Thief Keith's face cards are most likely 7 cards. If he manages to collect three 7 cards for the AM-7 slot machine, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Peacock Dance, having failed to launch an attack, can only hold onto one card and grit its teeth as it ends the turn.

The thief Keith urged Ghost Bone Tomb somewhat impatiently, "Alright, alright, hurry up and play that magic card."

The thief Keith had intended to use the Bone Tomb to draw fire, but the Peacock Dance suddenly disrupted his rhythm, and now he desperately needed the Bone Tomb to step forward.

Ghost Bone Tomb was taken aback by what the thief Keith said.

"That magic card?"

"What is it...?"

With a somewhat bewildered look, Oniguzuka drew a card from the deck.

When he saw the card, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but smile.

"Hee hee hee!"

"Uncle Keith is truly amazing!"

"So that's why they wouldn't let me summon undead monsters!"

Ghost Bone Tomb looked smug. The moment he saw the card he had just drawn, he understood how Thief Keith wanted him to play.

"My turn!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Share the Pain!"

"Release one of my monsters!"

"As a price, the opponent must also release a monster!"

With that, Oniguzu sent his Ground Dragon to the graveyard.

You Shuo knew that the Harpie was the core of the Peacock Dance, so he volunteered, "It's alright, Dance. I choose to sacrifice the Diamond Dragon!"

Two beams of light appeared, and the Crouching Dragon and the Diamond Dragon simultaneously vanished into the light.

Oniguzuka smirked: "Heh, my real purpose isn't to make you lose as many monsters as possible~"

"This is the card I really want to activate!"

"Perpetual Magic Card!"

"The Cry of the Living Dead!!"

"Resurrect all the monsters in my graveyard!"

"And turn them into undead monsters!"

"As a trade-off, their defense will become zero, but each time they revive, their attack power will increase by ten percent!"

"Snapped--"

As the card slammed down, the armored warriors Zanpakuto and Fujiryu, who had just died in battle, emerged from the shattered earth as zombies, their combat power enhanced.

【Armored Warrior Demon Slayer, Attack Power: 1500 → 1650】

[Lying Dragon, Attack Power: 1600 → 1760]

The Cry of the Living Dead was an absolutely powerful spell card during the Duel Kingdom era.

Its effect is not instantaneous. When the monsters on the Ghost Bone Tomb are destroyed, those monsters will revive and their attack power will be permanently increased again.

Because monsters that are resurrected as zombies retain their original characteristics and are stronger than pure undead monsters, that's why Thief Keith included so many seemingly meaningless monsters in the Tomb of the Dead deck.

Ghost Bone Mound grinned and said, "Next, I can summon my strongest undead trump card!"

"Attack Status Summon - Ghost King Pumpkin King!!"

"As long as this card is on the field, all other Zombie monsters on my field will gain 20% more ATK each turn!"

"Awaken! My undead army!"

【Ghost King - Pumpkin King】

【Six Star】

[Dark Attribute/Undead]

[Attack/Defense: 1800/2000]

"Beep beep beep---"

【Armored Warrior - Demon Slayer, Attack Power: 1650 → 1950】

[Lying Dragon, Attack Power: 1760 → 2080]

Chapter Fifty-One: The arena for the duel is a mountain!

"Hahahahaha!"

Ghost Bone Mound laughed smugly and arrogantly.

"Your Harpy Girl only has 1300 attack power!"

"let's go!"

"Armored Warrior - Demon Slayer!!"

"Slay that strange bird!!"

Ghost Bone Tomb was incredibly bloated; after suffering for so long, he was ready to have some fun.

But the moment he gave the order to attack, the thief Keith couldn't help but spit out, "Fool!"

"Swish—"

With a long sword reeking of decay drawn, Armored Warrior Zanki attacked the Harpie Girl. Thanks to the nutrients supplied by the Pumpkin King, its combat power reached a respectable 1950.

However, as this strike was unleashed, the Peacock Dance's card lit up decisively.

A dazzling colored screen displayed the attack, showing that the Armored Warrior - Demon Slayer's attack power had landed on its own mirror image.

"Splash—"

The mirror image shattered, and the combat power of Armored Warrior: Demon Slayer plummeted.

【Armored Warrior - Demon Slayer, Attack Power: 1950 → 975】

"What?!" Ghost Bone Tomb was shocked.

Peacock Dance said with a cold smile, "Perpetual Trap Card - Mirror of the Screen".

"When the opponent's monster launches an attack, nullify that monster's attack and reduce its attack power to half."

"Did you think you could defeat my Harpie just because your attack power increased a little?"

"Don't forget, the battlefield beneath our feet is—the mountain!"

"This is the territory of the Bird-Beast Clan!!"

Ghost Bone Tomb looked around and then realized what was going on with the location.

He was so nervous that he forgot about the special rules of the Duel Kingdom.

In mountainous terrain, dragon, bird, and thunder monsters gain terrain advantage.

Even if the Peacock Dancer only used an ordinary equipment card, she could easily have turned the tables and killed the Armored Warrior - Demon Slayer in that situation!

Cold sweat dripped from Ghost Bone Tomb's forehead.

"Too careless..."

"How could you forget about something like that..."

In the previous battle, the Diamond Dragon's attack was neutralized, while the AM-7 slot machine has a hidden ability - Steadfast, which prevents the opponent from gaining the type advantage or the field advantage attack power boost when attacked while in defense position...

These events caused Ghost Bone Tomb to overlook the protective power of the site.

But now, he has to be careful.

Oniguzuka snorted coldly: "But we still have the advantage. Set one card, end of turn!"

Another round has ended.

You Shuo now has to make a crucial decision.

The combo between Ghost Bone Tomb and Thief Keith is taking shape, and he must defeat one of them as soon as possible.

"The situation with the thief Keith is not easy to handle..."

"The LP in Ghost Bone Tomb is lower..."

You Shuo pondered.

"Then, it would be best to attack the Ghost Bone Tomb first..."

"After defeating him, I and Mai the Peacock will be able to go into rounds consecutively..."

"Shh-"

You Shuo announced loudly, "My turn, draw a card!"

"Elven Sorcerer - Treant!"

"Attack on Armored Warrior - Demon Slayer".

"With the blessing of the magical wand, the elven sorcerer Treant unleashed a holy light-attribute attack that was effective against the undead!"

"For this attack, the Elf Mage Treant will increase his attack power by thirty percent!"

The magic wand, radiating an eerie glow, lit up, and a white beam of holy light shot towards the undead monster whose fighting power had been weakened by the Mirror of the Silver Screen!

The peacock dancer cheered, "Beautiful! You Shuo!"

But Oni-Kudosaki, who looked exactly like a skeleton, gave a sinister smile: "I guessed it!"

"With Armored Warrior: Demon Slayer's attack power so low, how could you possibly resist attacking it?!"

"Spell Card Activated - Curse of Darkness!"

"Impairs your monster's movement and puts it at a disadvantage in all battles!"

"Fight back! Armored Warrior - Demon Slayer!!"

"This monster's hidden characteristic is that its attack power doubles when fighting against monsters it is at a disadvantage against!"

"Let's see who gets taken down!!!"

Ghost Bone Tomb finally pulled off a decent play.

Keith, the thief standing to the side, finally smiled and nodded.

The henchmen in the audience cheered continuously.

Kong Quewu's expression changed drastically: "What?!"

Everyone knows that the elven sorcerer Treant is You Shuo's trump card. If he is killed, You Shuo's combat power will be greatly reduced.

You Shuo looked at the Continuous Trap Card that had suddenly lit up.

A jet-black chain appeared and bound the elven sorcerer, Treant. At the same time, the armored warrior, Demon Slayer, roared ferociously and swung his rusty katana.

"The curse of darkness..."

Darkness's Curse is also a magic card in this era.

Furthermore, the effect is related to the unique mechanism of this era – restraint.

In the original story, Seto Kaiba used this card to defeat Pegasus' Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon.

You Shuo gently closed his eyes.
