Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1488 The Legend of the Ruins

"The effect of Time Silence - Turn Silence - nullifies the effect of Fallen Angel Nobunaga!"

As You Xuan spoke, a transparent clock appeared on the field, its hands spinning rapidly with the passage of time. A faint layer of starlight protection descended upon the Silent Magician as time went on, while a contrasting energy fluctuation enveloped the Fallen Angel Noble Demon, causing the energy emanating from the latter to dim.

"Tch, so you actually turned the tables and nullified the effects of the Noble Demon." Drube scoffed. "But the power of the Valian is far beyond what someone like you can withstand."

Battle phase!

With that, Drubey swung his arm and shouted sharply.

"CNO.102 Fallen Angel Noble Demon, attack 'Silent Magician LV8'!"

Like surging lightning, it gathered from all directions to the tip of the fallen angel's staff. The purplish-black lightning, like living lightning tearing through space, transformed into a thunderous strike. A constantly churning ball of dark purple energy condensed at the tip of the staff, and the domineering energy transformed into a torrent of thunder that exploded towards the silence. The projected light effects along the way made it seem as if even the ground was being overturned, bursting out transparent shockwaves.

“Interesting.” Although You Xuan knew that his opponent was hiding a trick, he still calmly said, “Then, Silent Magician, prepare to fight.”

The magic of the Silent Explosion gathered into a sphere on her staff, and a spiraling ball of light shot out, trailing a storm. The once invincible power of Chaos Number was instantly suppressed, pushed back by the wave of white magic.

Drube: "At this moment, unleash the quick-play spell 'Strike from the Blind Spot' from your hand!"
This card's effect is: You can choose one face-up Defense Position monster your opponent controls and one face-up Attack Position monster you control; your monster's ATK increases by the opponent's Defense Position monster's ATK until the end of this turn!

The image of a quick-play spell was projected onto the field. The card featured "Great General Shien" from the classic Six Samurai series, with a "white-clad ninja" appearing behind him.

But then, the ninja's hand flashed with cold light as he suddenly attacked, launching a sneak attack on General Zi Yan from behind.

At this moment, there was a "three-colored gadget" indicating defense on the field. The flowing energy was drawn from the body of the red, yellow and green gear and absorbed into the body of the fallen angel.

[Three-color gadget, Defense 1100]

【CNO.102 Fallen Angel of Light - Noble Demon, Attack Power 2900 → Attack Power 4000】

Obelisk-class attack power!

The fallen angel of light, initially suppressed by the tide of silence, suddenly surged ahead. The fluctuations of light magic were rebounded by the chaotic lightning, and the point of contact between the light and dark energies seemed to boil. The chaotic fluctuations tore apart the sphere of light from the silent magic's explosion with devastating force, the magical sphere exploding like a light bulb. The violent energy was pushed back onto the silent magician, exploding into a white ball of light with a deafening roar.

[Yu Xuan, LP4000 → LP3500]

The silence that followed the explosion vanished from the field, but immediately transformed into a ghostly, elven form that floated to You Xuan's side, its expression somewhat regretful, as if lamenting its departure.

"It's nothing." You Xuan smiled at her and said, "As expected of one of the Seven Emperors of the Balian, you've got some skills."

Drubey let out a soft breath.

Fortunately. Although the effect of his trump card "Fallen Angel - Noble Demon" was unexpectedly countered, he managed to perfectly resolve the situation. He now has the upper hand on the board, and overall he is quite satisfied with his handling of this turn.

"Battle phase over. Now I'll set two cards face down."

Druby drew two cards from his hand and placed them face down on the field. Just as he was about to enter the end phase of his turn, he suddenly stopped, his pupils contracting as if struck by lightning.

"What!?"

His body suddenly convulsed, and he involuntarily knelt on the ground, unable to move as if in a spasm.

You Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

What's going on here? Are they trying to scam someone by feigning illness after losing a card game?
Let me make this clear first: I, You, didn't use any underhanded tactics to make the other side forfeit due to a heart attack. You Xuan seemed to realize something, looking deeper into the ruins, and suddenly felt that the energy fluctuations emanating from the ruins seemed to have become stronger, as if he had guessed something.

It's probably because the duel on Yuma's side reached a crucial point, triggering the resonance between the legend sealed in this ruin and Drube.

After all, this is the site of Drube, and the legend of Drube is sealed here.

Legend has it that long, long ago, there was a hero in this country who rode a celestial horse and led a group of knights to protect the peace of the country, and he was deeply loved by the people.

One day, the hero rode his celestial steed back to visit his homeland. While the hero was away, the knights seized the throne and overthrew the king.

Upon hearing this, the hero rushed back to try and persuade his former comrades, hoping they would remember the bond they had formed fighting together and the shared sense of justice they once held in their hearts.

But his former comrades-in-arms wouldn't listen and turned their swords against him. The hero couldn't bring himself to attack his companions, so he offered no resistance.

His pegasus tried to protect him, taking a blow for him and dying. But the hero couldn't abandon his pegasus to survive alone, so in the end, he died alongside his pegasus.

"Ahhh-"

Drubey knelt down, clutching his head as if suffering a splitting headache.

"Why? Why was this legend suddenly implanted into my mind?"

"And why does this legend evoke such a deep sense of unease in me? What exactly is this soul-stirring tremor?"

The pain was excruciating. And he soon realized that it was not just a headache, but a profound sorrow that seemed to come from the depths of his heart, no, from his soul, as if he were completely empathizing with the protagonist of this legendary story.

"This ruin seems to be trying to tell me something?" Drubey wondered.

You Xuan: "My turn, draw a card."

Yu Xuan drew a card, which also brought Drube's thoughts back to the duel at hand.

He shook his head.

Oh right, they're still in the middle of a duel.

No matter what's wrong with this ruin, once we get the ruin's number, we can study it slowly when we get back.

First, we need to focus on the duel and resolve this immediate problem before rushing in to take back NO.

“Activate the Spell Card ‘Book of Magic in a Pot’ from your hand,” Yu Xuan said. “Both players draw three cards from their decks.”

The classic Professor Chronos's Pot was projected onto the field, its large, green, mocking face grinning to reveal a mouthful of yellow teeth. Energy emanating from the top of the pot conjured a magic book that floated in mid-air, its pages turning automatically with a rustling sound.
However, as both players drew three cards from their decks, the large jar and the magic book immediately shattered with a crack, turning into a pile of fragments.

After drawing the card, Youxuan glanced at one of the two cards he had drawn, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

He casually showed one of the cards.

"One of the cards I drew was this one. The Demon's Light, come!"
