This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

The combat damage inflicted during this time was enough to instantly kill him even at full health!

Now that his attack has been declared, and relying on the strength of his monsters' defenses, his deck has almost no cards that can neutralize attacks, this attack... is tantamount to him throwing away his own victory!!

"boom-"

An explosion rang out, and the harpy girl launched a magnificent counterattack, annihilating the vile overlord of the dark demon realm!

The card shattered, the light dissipated, and the high combat damage depleted the Duelist Hunter's remaining LP.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Fierce Night

You Shuo's appearance was perfectly timed.

If everything unfolds as originally planned, then Mai the Peacock will ultimately be defeated by the Duelist Hunter and lose all her Star Chips.

Before offering his advice, You Shuo actually considered it carefully.

He could indeed wait until Kong Quewu loses before helping her win the star back, but if he did that, Kong Quewu might not know what to do and would probably feel ashamed and withdraw from the competition.

Along the way, You Shuo has really helped Kong Que Wu a lot.

Given Kong Quewu's personality, she might not be able to handle too much kindness from others.

You Shuo never intended to simply collect the dark energy from Kong Quewu.

How could he not accept such a top-tier blonde beauty as a duelist?!

As for Masaki Kyoko, it's not easy for her to make a move right now because of her personality. However, since Peacock Mai is unaware of many things, Yu Shuo can go all out during the Duel Kingdom Tournament.

But then again.

Although You Shuo exercised some control over the assistance provided, Kong Quewu still felt uneasy.

Stepping off the dueling platform, she frowned and handed over all the Star Chips she had just won from the Duelist Hunter to You Shuo.

You Shuo waved his hand and refused, saying, "Wu, I want to win my own star. This is yours."

Before the peacock dance could respond, a cold, stern voice came from the darkness not far away.

It was a tall man carrying a white briefcase—Seto Kaiba!

He sneered at You Shuo and said, "You Shuo, I suggest you take those stars, because you will soon be defeated by me. Without those star chips, you will completely lose your qualification to participate."

Yu Shuo looked at Seto Kaiba, who was walking out of the darkness.

This guy...

It arrived earlier than I expected...

Seto Kaiba placed the suitcase on a large rock beside him and took out a deck of cards from it: "Yushuo, I lost to you in our last duel."

"And now, I'm going to win back everything I've lost!"

"bring it on!"

"I'll wager five stars on you in this duel!!"

Yu Shuo looked at Seto Kaiba, pondering to himself.

In the original story, because Yugi Muto defeated Seto Kaiba, the five giants of the KC Group made a condition to Pegasus: Yugi Muto must lose the match. Pegasus then handed this task over to the reluctant Seto Kaiba.

In this world, in this part of the story, Yugi Muto's role is replaced by Yu Shuo.

At this time, Seto Kaiba comes to visit, presumably for the same reason as in the original story: to save the KC Group and his younger brother, Keihei Kaiba.

Seto Kaiba is a guy who won't give up until he gets what he wants.

You Shuo knew that if he didn't agree, the man would keep pestering him.

Left with no other choice, You Shuo stretched his wrists and prepared to step onto the dueling platform: "Wu, I've brought back the water and firewood; they're over at the camp."

Peacock Dance said, "What are you talking about? How could I possibly go to rest by myself?"

Seto Kaiba said impatiently, "Save this boring game of make-believe for after you lose to me! Yuuki, I've found a way to defeat Armed Dragon! Give it your all and fight back!"

"duel!!!!!"

Seto Kaiba, LP: 2000

[Yu Shuo, LP: 2000]

"My first strike! Draw a card!"

Seto Kaiba swung his strong arm and shouted in a deep voice.

"Attack signal summoned! Bloodthirsty Orc!"

"roar------"

The dueling platform flashed with light, and a violent, rough roar followed!

The cards that appeared on the battlefield transformed into a teleportation array, and a strong orc wielding a sharp axe stepped into the arena, his eyes gradually revealing boundless killing intent!

Bloodstained Orcs

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Beast Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1900/1200]

[Description: A Warcraftian who commits heinous acts and finds pleasure in them. His axe is often stained with blood.]

Mai couldn't help but exclaim, "It only has four stars but 1900 attack power. It's no wonder that it's Seto Kaiba's powerful offensive deck."

After setting two cards face down, Seto Kaiba aloofly ended his turn.

Looking at Seto Kaiba's cards on the field, Yu Shuo could guess what this guy was planning.

Seto Kaiba has a tactic that everyone in the world knows he's going to use: the Death Deck to destroy viruses.

In the Duel Kingdom era, the effect of the Death Deck Destruction Virus is different. The effect is that when an opponent's monster attacks a DARK monster with 1000 or less ATK on your field, you can tribute the attacked monster to send all monsters in your opponent's hand, deck, and field with 1500 or more ATK to the Graveyard.

This effect is much stronger than the OCG version; even with the limitations of the activation conditions, it is enough to destroy everything in this era.

The Bloodthirsty Orc has an attack power of 1900, which is indeed unsuitable for activating the Death Deck Destruction Virus.

However, Yu Shuo knew very well that Seto Kaiba's other face-down card must be Contraction, with the aim of halving the attack power of Blood Demon Beastman, thereby successfully triggering the deck's combo disruption.

Seto Kaiba squinted his eyes.

He, with his aloof demeanor, had already planned everything out in his mind.

Ordinary monsters cannot defeat the Bloodthirsty Orcs.

The field they were on was a grassland, a suitable field for Beast Warrior monsters. Moreover, it was nighttime, and in this competition, nighttime was also a field factor, providing a suitable field for all Dark-attribute monsters.

Monsters with low attack power will be suppressed, while monsters with high attack power will become the button to activate the Death Deck Destruction Virus.

Seto Kaiba sneered inwardly.

In his view, he had the upper hand in the battle from the very beginning.

You Shuo thought for a moment, then slowly drew a card from the deck.

He knew that the Death Deck Destroyer virus was somewhat troublesome, but he wasn't without a solution.

"My turn, draw a card!"

You Shuo said loudly.

"Attack signal summons - Flame Swordsman".

"Ritual Spell Card activated—The Treant's Ritual!"

"Sacrifice the Swordsman of Flame."

"Ritual Summoning—"

"Elven Sorcerer - Treant!!"

【Elven Sorcerer - Treant】

【Samsung】

[Light Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1200/1400]

"Activate the Spell Card again—Magic Wand—Equip it to the Elf Wizard, Treant!"

"Battle begins! Elven Sorcerer Treant launches attack on the Bloodthirsty Orc!"

"With the blessing of the Magic Wand, the Elf Sorcerer - Treant's attack power increases by fifty percent, and he can unleash a Holy Light attack that counters Dark attributes!"

"For this attack, the Elf Mage Treant will receive a 30% attack power bonus!"

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Fury of Revenge

The Magic Wand and the Treant Sorcerer – this is You Shuo's classic combo.

Under the cover of night, the sacred staff surged with a dazzling light, and in just one second, the elven mage Treant's attack power soared to a level that surpassed that of the Bloodthirsty Orc!

Upon seeing this, Seto Kaiba's eyes immediately lit up.

"coming!"

Although he hasn't found a monster that can defeat Armed Dragon, he has come up with a tactic that can crush and shatter Yushuo: the Death Deck Destruction Virus!

Now that You Shuo has rashly launched an attack, it's time for him to press the trap switch!

Hahahaha!

Seto Kaiba burst into laughter.

"You've fallen for my trap, You Shuo!"

"The instant you attack, I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card - Contraction!"

The peacock dance was startled.

shrink?!

It can reduce a monster's attack power to half...

In that case, You Shuo's monster will be defeated!

However, Seto Kaiba abruptly changed his tone: "However, my target is the Bloodthirsty Beastman on my field!"

Peacock Dance exclaimed in surprise again: "What?!"

Seto Kaiba then flipped over his second face-down card and said in a deep voice, "Next, I'll activate another face-down card - Death Deck Destruction Virus!"

"Since my Bloodthirsty Beastman with less than 1000 ATK and the DARK attribute has been attacked, I can use this card to sacrifice the Bloodthirsty Beastman!"

"Thus, you will crush all monsters with an ATK greater than 1500 that are on your field, in your hand, or in your deck!!"

The Peacock Dance was stunned when the terrifying effect appeared.

Seto Kaiba laughed arrogantly, "Hahahahahaha!"

"Without the main offensive monsters, all I have left to deal with is that Armed Dragon!"

"You Shuo, just watch your monsters get crushed!!"

But the next second, the elven mage, Treant, vanished in a flash of light?!

The battle was forcibly canceled because the attacking monster disappeared.

In this peculiar era, due to the somewhat ambiguous rules, Seto Kaiba's Death Deck Destruction Virus immediately faded into obscurity...

Seto Kaiba's eyes widened in shock: "How could this be?!"

You Shuo said, "In the rules of Duel Kingdom, the effects of Spell Cards can be activated at any time."

"When you activated the Death Deck Destruction Virus, I used the effect of the Magic Wand to Tribute the Elf Wizard Treant and draw two cards from my deck."

"The attack failed because the attacking monster disappeared."

"Correspondingly, your trap cards, which can only be used in battle, also no longer have the opportunity to activate their effects."

Despite being a seasoned card player, You Shuo would never arrogantly reject any ambiguity in the rules.

As players, it's common practice to utilize the rules from various angles.

The dueling rules during the Duel Kingdom era clearly stated that "the battle is canceled when either of the monsters in the battle disappears."

The Death Deck Destruction Virus can only be activated when a monster on your field that meets the conditions is forced to battle, so there is nothing wrong with this operation.
