Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1676 VS Shadow Cloak

At this point, the initial setup is basically complete, but Hak's task is not yet finished.

“And finally, there’s this card,” Hack said, “the magic card ‘Preparation for the Ritual’!”
You can add one Level 7 or lower Ritual Monster from your Deck to your hand, and then add one Ritual Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand!

A Ritual Monster from Hack's deck popped out first; he drew it and revealed it.

"I added the Ritual Monster 'Spirit Robe of the Sky Spear Dragon' to my hand from my deck!"

Sky Spear Dragon's Shadow Robe: During either player's or player's turn, you can discard this card from your hand to the Graveyard, then select one Shadow Robe monster you control, preventing that monster from being destroyed by battle or card effects during the turn this card is activated.

With this, plus the Trident in his hand, his Shining Saberbird on the field effectively gains both target-targeting resistance and absolute destruction resistance.

In addition, with Shining Sword Bird's ability to negate Extra Monsters at Speed ​​2, the next turn is basically guaranteed.

“Furthermore, I will then retrieve the ritual spell ‘Shadow Robe Resurrection’ from the graveyard back into my hand.” Hack grinned sinisterly as he drew the ritual spell from the graveyard.

Clearly, this is also a further preparation for the next round.

With Trident Dragon and Ritual Spell in hand, he can summon Shadow Cloak Trident next turn to enter the kill rhythm. Furthermore, Resurrection is a Ritual Spell that can be summoned even if the target monster is in the Graveyard, so it doesn't matter if he throws Trident Dragon to the Graveyard next turn to protect Shining Saber Bird.

“The round is over,” Hack said.

An impenetrable formation. Hack sneered.

Come on, struggle with all your might, recognize the desperate situation you face, and then become my spoils.

"That's it? My turn then," You Xuan said. "Draw a card."

He slowly drew a card and first cast a spell.

"The spell card 'Angel's Charity' draws three cards from your deck, then discards two cards from your hand."

You Xuan draws three cards, then sends two cards from his hand to the graveyard.

“One of the cards sent to the graveyard is the spell card ‘Compensation Treasure Card’,” Yu Xuan said. “This card is sent from my hand to the graveyard, and I draw two cards from my deck.”

You Xuan drew two more cards.

“Next is this card in my hand.” Yu Xuan revealed a monster card, “Emblem Beast Two-Headed Serpent. This card can be Special Summoned from your hand by discarding one other ‘Emblem Beast’ monster from your hand.”

Yu Xuan sends another monster card to the graveyard, while simultaneously placing the Twin-Headed Serpent onto the Duel Disk.

"Special Summon 'Heral Beast Twin-Headed Serpent'!"

Although named a two-headed serpent, this emblem actually looks more like a dragon. There is a head at the head and a head at the tail, and the serpentine body is adorned with dragon wings.

"Next, activate the spell card 'Fire Dragon's Flame Bullet'," Yu Xuan said. "If you have a Dragon-type monster on your field, you can inflict 800 damage to your opponent."

Yes, the two-headed serpent not only looks like a dragon, but its species is also identified as dragon. Its two dragon mouths, one at the head and one at the tail, opened simultaneously, each spewing forth flames that rolled hot over Hack's body.

[Harker, LP4000 → LP3200]

“800 points of damage.” Hack nonchalantly extinguished the flames on his body. “If you think this will cause me even the slightest inconvenience…”

You Xuan laughed heartily: "Of course not. Don't be in such a hurry."

He then played another monster card from his hand.

"Normal Summon 'Heral Beast Abel Conway'!" It was still the emblem of a dragon. A transparent green emblem appeared on the field, and then the dragon's form materialized within it. A structure resembling white armor covered its dark red body, its features sharply defined and its appearance majestic.

"And when you successfully Summon a Level 4 monster to your field, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand," Yu Xuan said. "Special Summon 'Shadow Lizard'!"

A crawling shadow appeared on the ground, as if it had emerged from the earth and landed on the field. The shadow looked like a lizard, but it remained lying on the field, as if it were truly just a flat shadow.

Shadow Lizard, Attack Power 1100

“There are three four-star monsters. I see, an overload user?” Hack said.

As he spoke, his smile deepened. Now that they knew he was an over-user, there was nothing to fear; the Shining Sword Bird's effects could completely control the opponent's terminal.

"This card can also be Special Summoned from your hand when you control two or more Emblem Monsters."

You Xuan casually snapped a picture of another emblem.

"Special Summon 'Heral Beast Yell'!"

A magnificent-looking Herald Beast with a pair of dreamlike horns was summoned and appeared on the field.

【Emblem Beast - Wildling, Attack Power 1000】

There are now four four-star monsters.

Hack frowned slightly.

With four Level 4 monsters, you can only perform a maximum of two Xyz Summons. Meanwhile, the Shining Sword Bird Shadow Cloth can only remove the ATK and effect of one Xyz Monster at most.

But it didn't matter. He still had resistance to destruction and effects, so he only needed to erase the relatively more crucial Xyz Monster effect.

Sure enough, You Xuan immediately took action.

"Level 4 'Emblem Beast Yell' and Level 4 'Emblem Beast Abel Conway', stack them!" You Xuan said, "Use the two monsters to construct a stacking network and Xyz Summon!"
A breath of fresh air pierces this closed world, appear! I am the gunman!

Two beams of light intersected and crashed into the vortex of light, shooting into the sky and transforming into a masked gunman. He was dressed like a Western cowboy, his mask revealing only a pair of piercing eyes. His hands were on his holster, and although his face was not visible, he exuded a handsome aura.

[I'm a gunslinger, defense 2500]

Yuma was the first to exclaim in surprise: "It's me! It's me!"

"I-I-I" is a specialty of the Xyz Dimension, a small branch of Yuma's favorite onomatopoeic deck. Among them, "I-I-I Gunner" is also a monster used by Yuma in the anime, but it mostly appears in casual games—because in any important game, it's basically Hope attacking, and there's no chance for other Xyz monsters to appear.

However, onomatopoeia itself isn't particularly rare in the Xyz Dimension, so it wasn't difficult for Yuugen to acquire it. Yuma wasn't surprised that Yuugen also possessed Gaara, but rather that the other party had the same monster choice as him.

"It's rare to have an Xyz Summon, but it immediately went into Defense Position."

Hack Road.

"Oh? So you sensed the power of my Shadow Armor and chose to defend instead of facing its sharp edge directly?"

"defense?"

You Xuan smiled but didn't explain.

After all, there's no need for explanation; the other party will soon naturally change their naive mind.
