This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

Of course, even if we advance the times just a little further, to the era of Duel City, this kind of approach probably wouldn't exist.

"Shuashua-"

You Shuo drew two cards into his hand.

Seto Kaiba's teeth itched with rage: "Damn it... so this is how they do it...?"

Peacock Dance breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

You Shuo said, "It's not over yet, seahorse."

"My battle phase is not over yet. I activate the Spell Card - Monster Resurrection!"

"Special Summon the Flame Swordsman from the Graveyard!!"

A holy light shone forth, and under the divine magic, a swordsman engulfed in flames was resurrected from the graveyard.

【Flame Swordsman】

【Four stars】

[Fire Attribute/Fire Clan]

Attack/Defense: 1700/1100

[Description: Legend has it that an unfortunate swordsman fell into a volcano and thus gained the ability to unleash flames.]

"Kaiba, your Death Deck Destruction Virus has lost its effect due to the battle cancellation, but your Contraction will not, because your Contraction has no activation conditions."

You Shuo pointed and said loudly.

"In addition, since our battleground is a grassland, the Flame Swordsman will receive a 30% attack power bonus!"

"The Swordsman of Flames!!"

"Attack the Bloodthirsty Orcs!!"

"Swish la la la la—"

The burst of flames swept across, severing the head of the bloodthirsty orc!

A shattering sound rang out, and under the intense impact, Seto Kaiba's LP plummeted.

"Beep beep beep—"

Seto Kaiba, LP: 2000→1040

"Set one card face down, end the turn."

You Shuo looked at Seto Kaiba with a calm gaze and a faint smile.

Under the night breeze, LP and Seto Kaiba, who was at a complete disadvantage, were somewhat annoyed.

But at the same time, his inner fighting spirit was also completely ignited.

"Hmph... This is interesting..."

"If you don't fight back, then this battle for revenge is meaningless!"

Seto Kaiba swung his arm, drawing cards from the deck.

"Then... let me show you the fury of revenge!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Attack signal summons—"

"The vengeful stealth warrior!!!"

From the surging black mist, a demonic sword slowly appeared, followed by a burly and strong warrior who firmly grasped the sword.

The Stealth Warrior of Vengeance

【Six Star】

[Dark Attribute/Warrior Race]

Attack/Defense: 2000/1600

[Description: A monster harboring the resentment of its killed comrades.]

Seto Kaiba sneered, "A vengeful stealth warrior possesses a strong desire for revenge."

"If I had a monster defeated in the turn this monster was summoned, its attack power will increase by 20%!"

"Furthermore, since the current terrain is dark and grassland, the attack power of the vengeful stealth warrior, which is of the dark attribute, will be increased by another 30% due to the terrain advantage!"

"You Shuo, take this hit properly!"

"The vengeful stealth warrior!!!"

"Launch the attack!!!"

At Seto Kaiba's command, the vengeful stealth warrior charged forward, his demonic sword drawing upon endless dark power as he slashed heavily at the Flame Swordsman on the field!

Faced with this terrifyingly powerful attack, You Shuo decisively flipped up his face-down card: "Spell Card - Attack Seal!"

"Change your vengeful stealth warrior to defensive stance!"

"In that case, this attack will be rendered ineffective!"

Seto Kaiba scoffed, "Still trying to run away?!"

"Since my vengeful stealth warrior has changed to a defensive stance..."

"Then I'll defeat you with an even stronger monster!"

"Spell Card Activated - Angel's Charity!"

Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two!

"Then activate the Spell Card - Spider Silk, and gain the Spell Card - Monster Reborn that you sent to the Graveyard last turn!"

"And relying on this 'Resurrection of the Dead' technique, I've revived the monster that was just slumbering in the graveyard..."

"Come on stage!!"

"Minotaur!!!"

Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Minotaur

【Cowboy】

【Four stars】

[Earth/Beast Warrior Race]

Attack/Defense: 1700/1000

[Description: A bull-shaped monster with incredible strength. It sweeps away everything in its path with a single swing of its axe.]

Mai looked towards the battlefield and could tell that Seto Kaiba wanted to launch a counterattack using Minotaur.

but……

The Minotaur's attack power is 1700, and the Flame Swordsman's attack power is also 1700.

Although the Minotaur, as a Beast Warrior, benefits from the attack power boost of the grasslands, the Flame Swordsman, being a Warrior-type monster, also possesses an advantage in terrain...

"Shh-"

Under Seto Kaiba's command, the minotaur charged forward, heading straight for the Flame Swordsman!

Just when Mai thought the two monsters would perish together, only one monster fell – the Flame Swordsman!

"Bam—"

The card shattered, and Seto Kaiba smiled coldly:

"Although you briefly gained control of the minotaur in the last battle, You Shuo, you shouldn't know about its special abilities, right?"

"Minotaur will not fight and destroy monsters with the same attack power."

"In the end, only your Flame Swordsman will be defeated!"

"Battle phase over, Spell Card - Heavenly Treasure Card!"

"Both players replenish their hands to six cards, then set three cards face down. My turn ends!"

Unmoved by Seto Kaiba's taunts, Yu Shuo calmly drew his card and smiled, "Your Minotaur wasn't destroyed? That's great."

Seto Kaiba frowned: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

You Shuo said, "Kaiba, your deck is a classic aggressive deck. In that situation just now, you couldn't possibly not summon a monster with higher attack power than the Minotaur, could you?"

Upon hearing this, Seto Kaiba's expression changed drastically, clearly indicating that Yu Shuo had seen through his plan.

You Shuo skillfully shuffled the cards in his hand and said elegantly, "Then why are you so persistent in summoning the Minotaur?"

"There is only one answer—that is, you want to use the Minotaur as material to fuse and summon the Minotaur Centaur used in the last battle."

"You already have a Tauren on your field, so the Centaur, which is the other material... I suppose you just threw it into the graveyard with Angel's Mercy?"

"As long as I take action, you can activate the Silent Dead to revive the Centaur from the graveyard, and then use Fusion to combine the two monsters together."

During the Duel Kingdom era, not only could you not see the effects of your opponent's cards, but you also could not view the cards in your opponent's graveyard at any time.

Yu Shuo could only guess at Seto Kaiba's thoughts.

But his guess was very accurate.

Seto Kaiba said sarcastically with a cold face, "So, what do you plan to do now?"

You Shuo finally stopped cutting the cards in his hand and easily played a card: "Magic Card - Hand Exchange!"

"Seto Kaiba, I bet you have that card in your possession—the Enemy Controller!"

"What I want is that card!"

The card exchange allows both players to reveal their hands and then choose one card from their opponent's hand to add to their own.

Seto Kaiba's eyes turned cold; he did indeed possess the enemy controller.

You Shuo chose this magic card.

But at the same time, Seto Kaiba's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he saw that Yu Shuo had a monster in his hand that had kept him tossing and turning since his last defeat—Armed Dragon Lv3!

Seto Kaiba revealed a sinister smile and declared loudly, "Then, the card I want is your Armed Dragon Lv3!!"

The cards have been exchanged between the two players.

You Shuo didn't react to the fact that his ace was taken away; he continued with his own actions.

"Attack signal summon - Chronospace Fighter V-Snake".

"Activate the magic card - Enemy Controller".

"Use the Chrono Fighter V-Shaped Serpent as a sacrifice to gain control of the Minotaur!"

Seto Kaiba shouted, "Wait a minute! You think you can just take my monster away so easily?!"

"The instant you summoned the Chrono Fighter V-Serpent!"

"I have already activated Geka—the Silent Dead!"

"Resurrect the Centaur from the graveyard, and then I can use Fusion to use the Minotaur as material a second before you get my monster!"

You Shuo smiled and said, "But Kaiba, the exchange of cards just now wasn't just to get your card, but also to see your cards."

"I use magic cards—in my hands."

"Declare the name of a card; if your opponent has that card in their hand, you must use it immediately!"

This is an animation card that has not been OCG-ified.

Seto Kaiba frowned slightly. He had a premonition of what was going to happen next, but he could only let things develop in an uncontrollable direction.

"The card I'm declaring is—Monster Resurrection!"

With Yushuo's declaration, Seto Kaiba had no choice but to play Monster Resurrection. Just as he was about to use this card to revive the monster in his graveyard, another of Yushuo's spell cards was revealed.

"In this instant, I use magic control!"

"When your opponent uses a spell card, gain control of that spell card."

"In this way, I can use this Resurrection of the Dead card."
