This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

At this moment, You Shuo's LP is 900, while Pegasus, who has activated Blood Compensation twice, has 1000. If you only look at the health points, the difference between the two is not much.

"Set three cards face down, end your turn!" Pegasus sneered. "You little devil, even if you barely survive this turn, I can still launch a full-scale attack next turn with five monsters!"

After the start of the round, You Shuo immediately played the card he had drawn, which turned out to be a magic card - Heavenly Treasure Card!

After replenishing his hand, You Shuo replied with a smile, "You don't have that chance, Pegasus. This turn, I will defeat your monsters one by one!"

"Hmph!" Pegasus scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous. Cartoon monsters are invincible. You have no chance of defeating my cartoon army!"

"Then let's give it a try!" You Shuo said with a smile, but Pegasus suddenly had a bad feeling.

"My turn!" You Shuo swung the card in his hand and shouted, "Activate the Spell Card - Defense Seal, change the Pot Demon on your field to Attack Position!"

A defensive blockade?!

What exactly is You Shuo Boy planning to do?!

Pegasus's gaze flickered. He instinctively tried to use the Millennium Eye again, but he could see nothing in You Shuo's mind.

The cautious Pegasus did not hesitate and decisively revealed the card he had just placed face down: "While you activate Defense Seal, I activate the Trap Card - Mermaid's Tears!"

"As long as there is a Mermaid Monster on my field, I can negate and destroy one effect activated against a monster!!"

"You Shuo Boy, your tactic of attacking my weakest monster has been foiled!!"

However, You Shuo smiled and said, "The defensive seal was just a test of your card. Now that you have activated Mermaid's Tears, I can rest assured!"

"Nani?!" Pegasus exclaimed in surprise.

You Shuo drew another card from his hand and shouted, "Activate the Spell Card - Tomb Raider! Select one card from your Graveyard and activate it immediately!"

"The card I want to choose is - Dragon's Sealing Jar!!"

"Under this card's effect, your Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon will be sealed away!!"

A strange magic pot appeared on the battlefield of Yushuo, but just as the Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon was sucked into the pot, it was released by the pot demon on Pegasus's field.

"Hehehe!" Pegasus laughed contemptuously. "You Shuo Boy, have you forgotten my Pot Demon on my field? As long as it's on my field, you can't seal my Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon!"

You Shuo said, "Of course I remember, but you should also know that my deck must have cards that can temporarily steal the opponent's monsters, right?"

Pegasus's expression changed drastically.

Is it... psychological manipulation or a change of heart?!

If the Pot Demon is taken away, then the most powerful Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon on the field will become Yushuo's monster!

"Shh-"

As yet another card appeared, Pegasus witnessed the scene he least wanted to see.

That card was a mental manipulation technique!

You can gain control of your opponent's monster in one turn!

The Pot Demon walked onto Yushuo's field like a puppet and began playing its magic flute again. Under the control of the flute's sound, the Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon jumped onto Yushuo's battlefield without hesitation and became Pegasus's enemy.

“Tsk…” Pegasus gritted his teeth.

He has a cartoon mermaid in attack mode on his field, with an attack power of only 1400...

"Enter battle phase!" You Shuo announced. "Blue-Eyes Cartoon Dragon, attack Cartoon Mermaid!!"

The adorable blue-eyed cartoon dragon took a deep breath, and its belly and cheeks immediately swelled up like a ball.

Pegasus immediately flipped up his face-down card and shouted, "Before you launch your attack, I'm going to use the Spell Card—Copycat! This card can copy one card from your graveyard!"

"The card I want to choose is—Forced Transfer!"

"Now, you and I must choose one of our monsters to exchange control!"

"If you hand over Blue-Eyes Totoro, this attack will be nullified, and if you hand over Pot Demon, Blue-Eyes Totoro will return to my field!"

"No matter what, your attack will fail!"

You Shuo smirked: "In that case, in response to your forced transfer, I will activate the magic card—Monster Reborn!"

"Resurrect the Twins from your graveyard in Attack Position and bring them to my field!"

"And when the forced transfer settlement occurs, I choose to give the Twin Spirits to you~"

As Anka's cross rose from the ground, the twin elves who hadn't transformed into cartoon form were resurrected, and then they swapped positions with the cartoon mermaid on Pegasus's field.

【Twin Spirits】

【Four stars】

[Earth Attribute/Mage Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1900/900]

After the magic card's glow faded, You Shuo said, "In this way, the situation remains the same; Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon will attack Toon Twins."

"With only 1000 LP, whether you take 1100 combat damage or 1600 combat damage, the result is the same."

"Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon!! Attack!!!"

Chapter Ninety-Five: The Shattered Cartoon Kingdom

"call out--"

A burst of colorful dragon breath suddenly exploded onto Pegasus's field!

Upon seeing this, everyone in the group, including Jonouchi, cheered.

"Yosh! You Shuo won!"

Boom!!!

The entire duel arena trembled from Blue-Eyes Totoro's attack, but when the dazzling colorful fireworks faded, Pegasus's LP remained completely untouched.

"How could this be?!" Jonouchi exclaimed in surprise. "We should have already won!"

As the smoke cleared, a spell card appeared on Pegasus's field—a temporary truce!

Under the effect of this card, both players will draw one card, and all damage received by both players will become zero at the end of You Shuo's next turn.

Looking at the card, You Shuo frowned slightly.

A temporary truce...?

I originally intended to defeat Pegasus in this round, but now it seems unlikely.

I just drew a trap card that can destroy the back row. According to the original strategy, as long as I destroy Toon Kingdom at the start of Pegasus' turn, he will lose due to the high backlash damage.

But now... this idea is obviously impossible to realize.

Will the Sacrifice Demon, as its "second form," eventually appear?

Since no summons have been made this turn, and the two monsters on his field will return to Pegasus's field at the end of the turn, Yu Shuo must play a monster card to avoid being forced to lose due to the duel rules.

After setting a card face down, You Shuo summoned a low-ATK monster in Defense Position and ended his turn.

The appearance of the Sacrifice Demon seems inevitable. That monster can increase its attack power by stealing the opponent's monster, while that monster has zero attack power, so there's no need to worry about it becoming a problem after being stolen.

"End of turn," You Shuo immediately activated the trap card he had just set, "but the moment you draw your card, I will unleash the Great Sandstorm to destroy Toon Kingdom and Blood Sacrifice on your field! At the same time, when Toon Kingdom leaves, all the monsters on your field that have turned into Toon forms will also be destroyed!!"

"Rumble, rumble—"

The sweeping storm wiped out all the cards on Pegasus's field!

If it weren't for that temporary truce, he would have already lost.

The grand scene was completely wiped out, and Pegasus's face turned extremely gloomy. The wind whipped his long silver hair up, and his dark golden Millennium Eyes shone with an unprecedented light at this moment!

"You Shuo, it seems I have no choice but to end this farcical entertainment!"

Pegasus's voice was incredibly cold, and at that moment his strange accent disappeared.

Streaks of dark energy spread outwards from behind him, gradually enveloping the entire battlefield!

The void and chaotic dark space turned this duel into a dark game that determined life and death!

Once completely enveloped by that strange energy, You Shuo could no longer hear any sounds from outside, and the urgent shouts of Cheng Nei and the others grew fainter and fainter!

The terrifying dark energy gradually made You Shuo feel suffocated.

This……

Just ...

The pressure of a dark duel...

You Shuo's originally straight back gradually bent down, and he could only barely stand up by supporting himself on the dueling platform in front of him.

Pegasus sneered, "You Shuo, have you seen it? This is the real Dark Game!"

"Without the divine artifact of a thousand years, you wouldn't even last a minute!"

"For mortals, I don't even need to do anything extra. As long as the dark barrier is set up, you mortals will collapse before the game even begins!"

"Hehehe..."

"You Shuo, give up struggling! You absolutely cannot leave here alive!"

Just then, countless dark energies surged out from behind You Shuo, and You Shuo, who had been having some difficulty breathing, gradually regained his normal expression and stood up straight again.

"What?!" Pegasus exclaimed in shock. "You...you also possess dark powers?!"

Pegasus's expression was extremely resentful, but his eyes quickly turned to excitement: "Hehe, but this is yet another surprise. I never expected you to bring me so many surprises!"

"I don't know how you did it~"

"But if I defeat you, I can take that power away!"

"Shh-"

With that, Pegasus swung his card and began his turn: "You Shuo! Since you still intend to persist, then I will defeat you with my true power!"

"Cartoons are just acrobatic tactics for entertainment; my true trump card is the Fantasy Demon, possessing absolutely terrifying power!!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Attack signal summoned! Faceless Dreamer!!"

"Snapped--"

As the card fell, Pegasus expended his mental energy to summon a terrifying, faceless monster in the Dark Duel!

As the sinister and terrifying magician slowly appeared, You Shuo realized that the true strength of this guy was only just beginning to be revealed!

Pegasus only uses the Toon deck when he's teasing his opponent; his real main deck is actually the Fantasy Demon!

An eerie purple aura emanated from the card, and a faceless magician appeared out of thin air. He spread his arms out and moved them rhythmically in an irregular manner, while the two puppets standing on his shoulders seemed to be blinking.

The Faceless Dreamer

“You Shuo!” Standing in the space of the Dark Duel, Pegasus, with a cold look in his eyes, said with a sneer, “You only have a weakling on your field who has no fighting ability!”

"Now, I'm going straight into battle!!"

"Faceless Dreamer!! Launch an attack!!"

"A hallucination of death!!!"

Suddenly, the eerie faceless dreamer revealed a sinister smile. He slapped his ten fingers open at You Shuo's monster, and with a "crack," the monster shattered like glass!

"Bam—"

Pegasus grinned wickedly, "Set two cards face down, end of turn! Your turn, You Shuo Boy!"

"My turn! Draw!" You Shuo announced. "Activate the spell card - Angel's Charity, draw three cards from the deck and then discard two!"

"Next, attack signal summon -- Crow Tengu!!"
