This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

"The Diamond Dragon's defense is higher than that of the Armored Dragon Lv5."

"Seahorse, your attack has been blocked."

"In addition, you will suffer 400 points of combat damage."

With a wave of his hand, Seto Kaiba unleashed a hidden face-down card: "Hmph, is that so?!"

"I've wanted to activate this card for a long time, and now I finally have the chance to use it!"

"Continuous Trap Card - Defense Ban!"

"As long as this card is on the field, all monsters on your opponent's field must be changed to Attack Position!"

In the Duel Kingdom era, due to the unique rules that prohibited monsters from directly attacking players, some cards were completely different from those in later eras to prevent the emergence of passive tactics.

In the OCG era, the spell card "Defense Ban" has become a permanent, everlasting trap in this era. Once it appears, it is very difficult for the opponent to keep defending and huddling indefinitely.

Under the effect of the defensive seal, the Diamond Dragon was forcibly switched to attack mode.

The Armored Dragon Lv5's dragon breath blasted the Diamond Dragon to pieces!

"Bang------------------"

Under the intense impact, You Shuo's LP decreased.

"Beep beep beep-------"

[You Shuo, LP: 2000→1700]

Seeing this, the peacock dancers in the audience were somewhat astonished.

"Intense...too intense..."

"Is this what a battle between the top Duel Monsters players looks like...?"

"Although Seto Kaiba lost to Yuuki once, the outcome of this duel is still unclear..."

Seto Kaiba sneered, "It's not over yet, Yu Shuo~"

"Activate the effect of Armed Dragon Lv5: Send one monster from your hand to the Graveyard, and destroy one monster your opponent controls whose ATK is lower than the discarded monster!!"

"I'm discarding Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand!"

"Crush the vengeful stealthy warrior!!"

"Boom—"

As the card was dropped, another devastating storm of dragon breath swept across the field, and the sound of an explosion rang out again, completely pulverizing both monsters on the field.

At this moment, You Shuo's idea of ​​achieving victory through a general attack was completely shattered.

At the same time, due to the rules of the Duel Kingdom Tournament, You Shuo will suffer backlash damage equal to 30% of the attack power of the vengeful stealth warrior.

"Beep beep beep—"

[You Shuo, LP: 1700 → 1100]

Seto Kaiba finally experienced this exhilarating feeling.

The last time I had the same feeling was when I first used Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Hehehe..."

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Seto Kaiba laughed heartily.

"You Shuo, it seems the Armored Dragon is more effective with me than with you."

"This card is more suitable for an aggressive duelist like me who controls dragons!"

"You Shuo, if you have the guts, accept my next suggestion—"

"In this battle, besides the five-star chips, I also want you to bet this Armored Dragon Lv3!"

"Of course, since you're at a disadvantage right now, if you win, you can get a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from me!"

Subconsciously, Seto Kaiba already believed that Armed Dragon Lv3 was stronger than Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

However, in terms of market value, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is still far more valuable than the Armored Dragon Lv3.

This might be because Armed Dragon Lv3 is still a relatively unknown card among players. However, regardless of the reason, Seto Kaiba felt that the bet he proposed was fair and worthwhile.

Peacock Dance's pupils constricted: "Betting on the Blue-Eyed White Dragon?!"

After hearing Seto Kaiba's words, Yu Shuo did not rush to agree, but said calmly, "Kaiba, from the moment you made Blue-Eyes White Dragon sacrifice itself in order to defeat my monster, you could not possibly win this duel."

"because…"

"You have completely lost the soul of the cards."

Seto Kaiba found it utterly ridiculous: "Hahahahahahaha!"

"Stop saying such foolish things!"

"The soul of the cards?"

"If that's the case, then aren't you the same as the elven sorcerer - the Treant - who sacrificed himself in the first round?!"

You Shuo said, "They're different, seahorses."

"We should express our sincere gratitude and remorse to the monsters that were sacrificed."

"And you, not only do you not feel grateful for the sacrifice of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon."

"They even proposed using the Blue-Eyes White Dragon as a wager later on."

"Seahorse".

"I accept your bet!"

"Because you have no chance of winning this duel."

Even though I'm at a disadvantage right now!

Seto Kaiba scoffed, "That's good, then. Enough with the nonsense!"

"Set one card face down, my turn is over, it's your turn!"

"However, before you draw your card, this Armed Dragon Lv5, which is destined to become my monster, will evolve once again!"

"Armed Dragon Lv7 reached!!!"

【Armed Dragon Lv7】

【Seven Stars】

[Wind Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2800/1000]

In the darkness of night, a fierce wind surged.

Armored Dragon Lv7 has arrived!

Although Armed Dragon Lv10 is the strongest form, it requires special evolution conditions.

In a sense, Seto Kaiba's Armed Dragon on the field has already reached a state of complete victory.

Peacock Dance looked at You Shuo, trying to understand the meaning behind the cards, and also wanting to know—

What methods does You Shuo intend to use to reverse this immense pressure...?

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Sealed Miracle

dark night.

Duel Kingdom Island.

Countless duelist hunters have been mobilized to hunt down the contestants on the island.

This was deliberately arranged by the tournament organizer, the father of Duel Monsters, Pegasus.

These Duelist Hunters generally possess powerful decks and considerable skill; if a participant relaxes their guard even slightly, they will be defeated instantly, losing all their Star Chips.

The one that Peacock Dance encountered before was a duelist hunter who earned bounties by hunting down contestants.

While Yuuki and Seto Kaiba were dueling, a clandestine battle was quietly unfolding on the other side of the island...

Yugi Muto, Katsuya Jonouchi, Kyoko Masaki, and Hiroto Honda all collapsed to the ground.

Before a neatly cut, broken tree root, a white-haired boy and a sharp-eyed black-haired boy were engaged in a fierce battle, enveloped by surging black energy.

This is a decisive battle where lives are at stake!

"Hehehe..."

The white-haired boy named "Bakura Ryo" smiled mysteriously.

"Game, your companions are now sleeping soundly in the graveyard~"

"Soon, the Grim Reaper in the cemetery will reap their souls."

"You only have one last chance."

Opposite him, Yami Yugi was frowning as he looked at the cards in his hand.

In this battle, Yugi, Katsuya Jonouchi, Hiro Honda, and Kyoko Masaki all became monster cards. And just as Bakura Ryo said earlier, when the Grim Reaper in the Graveyard kills them as monster cards sent to the Graveyard, their souls will be completely swallowed by darkness...

Dark Game is under immense pressure.

With his skill, he certainly wouldn't have been able to defeat all four of his companions.

However, Bakura used a very dirty deck.

He used the Shapeshifting Jar, which has a lot of draw and discard effects, to make both sides discard cards. In just a few turns, all the monster cards that housed the souls of their partners were buried in the graveyard.

"Is there only one round left...?"

Sweat dripped from An Yugi's forehead.

"It's impossible to revive them all in one round..."

"And if we defeat this guy..."

"It's impossible!!"

Bakura was very cunning. In the last turn, after summoning the monster, he used other cards to send that monster to the graveyard.

Right now, he has no monsters on his field.

Because the rules prohibit direct attacks, it is impossible for Dark Game to defeat it through combat.

Just as Yami Yugi was feeling utterly lost, the Millennium Puzzle hanging around his neck suddenly made a sound.

“Another me…”

"Another me!"

Yami Yugi was taken aback. He looked into his inner world and found that it was actually Ono Yugi communicating with him through the bond of the Millennium Item.

Despite the agonizing pain, the spirit of the character, corrupted by the graveyard, relentlessly conveys a single message: "Those five cards... those five cards are enough... as long as I collect those five cards... I'll definitely win..."

Upon hearing this, Yami Yugi's eyes trembled.

He realized what those five cards were...

He placed his hand on top of the deck and drew cards for the final turn.

"My turn, draw a card!!"

Seeing the card he had just drawn, Yami Yugi felt a glimmer of hope.

However, to turn the tide, the hope must be even stronger.

This card is Monster Rabbit Recycling.

Five draws...

Five cards...

If he can do that, he can save his companions!

Bakura grinned wickedly: "What's wrong? Did you draw a good card? But what kind of good card can help you turn defeat into victory?"

Yami Yugi ignored his words and decisively played the card: "Spell Card Activation - Monster Rabbit Recycle!!"
