Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1682 Beast Fighting Machine

"Duel!" x2
[Game, LP 4000]

Barrett, LP 4000

"Go for it, Mr. Game!" Jaden shouted from behind.

Yu Xuan also remembered this guy named Barrett; he was a character who appeared in "Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V," a high-ranking academy executive, and his strength wasn't bad.

Just then, Yugi Muto's deck had just completed its new generation upgrade. Although he had sparred and exchanged ideas with his teammates before, this was his first time actually playing it in a match.

Today, we'll have this college cadre act as our gaming partner.

"I'll go first!" Yami Yugi gained the initiative.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten You Xuan's reminder that in this dimension, you couldn't draw cards on the first move. Although he had memorized the rules, this kind of dry starting hand still felt like something was missing.
"Then summon this card,"

Yami Yugi looked up and immediately played one of the newly printed cards.

"Summon the 'Magician's Robe'!"

A monster of the Spellcaster class. However, both its appearance and class clearly indicate that this card is a derivative of the Dark Magician series.

The summoned magician looks basically like the robes of a dark magician, but there is no physical clothing. It is as if the robes have come to life and stand on the field out of thin air. The face under the magician's hat is blank, and the elusive image looks like a spirit constructed of magic.

[Magician's Robe, Attack Power 700]

Yami Yugi: "Then add one more face-down card, and the turn ends."

"A magician deck, huh?" Barrett said. "Then it's my turn. Draw!"

The burly man drew cards and quickly scanned the six cards in his starting hand, seemingly forming a strategy in his mind immediately.

"Activate the Continuous Spell 'Beast Fighter Fusion Device'!" (Anime Card)
Beast Fighter is the exclusive series used by Barret in the anime, so naturally none of the family members have actual cards. The spell card appears in the back row, followed by a heavy mechanical device appearing on the field, its steel top spewing steam in all directions.

"The effect of the Beast Fighter Fusion Device is that once per turn, you can send the materials needed for a 'Beast Fighter' Fusion Monster from your hand or field to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon!" Barrett said.

Dark Game understood: "A unique fusion that can be used once per turn?"

"Exactly."

Barrett then held up two cards with his fingers.

"I send 'Dark Panther Warrior' and 'Dark Sentinel' from my hand to the Graveyard as Fusion Materials for a Fusion Summon!"

Barrett tossed two monster cards into the air. The two cards magically materialized in mid-air into a leopard swordsman with black fur and a dark sentinel resembling a drone. The two monsters were drawn into a fusion vortex and sucked into the mechanical device in Barrett's back row.

"The fusion conditions are: a Beast Warrior race below four stars plus a Machine race below four stars. Fusion Summon!" Barrett said. "Appear! Beast Fighter - Predator Leopard!"

A boiler-like hum emanated from the heavy device, steam billowing from its top. Then, a burst of golden light erupted, and the modified warrior—half-panther, half-machine—the same panther hunter who had wreaked havoc in town before the duel began, reappeared.

【Beast Fighter - Predator Leopard, Attack Power 1600】

"Beast Fighter - Predatory Leopard's effect activates! Once per turn, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of this card's ATK!" Barrett said. "Predatory Leopard's ATK is 1600, so take half of its ATK, which is 800 points of damage!"

The predatory leopard roared, spreading its arms wide. A flash of red light appeared on the mechanical core of its chest, and a dark red laser shot out, striking Yugi head-on. [Dark Yugi, LP4000 → LP3200]

“Then let’s fight!” Barrett said. “Use ‘Beast Fighter: Predator Leopard’ to attack ‘Magician’s Robe’!”

The predatory leopard leaped forward, its cloak billowing in the wind, and swung its sword in a slash.

"So when you declare your attack, the monster effect of Magician's Robe also activates," Yami Yugi said. "During your opponent's turn, you can send one Spell/Trap Card from your hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 'Dark Magician' from your Deck!"

As he spoke, he sent one of his cards into the graveyard.

Seemingly drawing power from the discarded magic trap, the transparent magic was absorbed into the robe. Magic instantly surged across the ethereal robe, as if every line of its body was pulsating with magic.

The vortex of the magic circle opened, and a tall, slender magician wearing the same robes leaped out, his emerald staff twirling nimbly twice in his hand before being firmly grasped in his palm.

[Dark Magician, Attack Power 2500]

"Did you summon the ace using a monster effect?" Barrett asked. "The battle reversal occurred because the number of monsters on the field changed. However..."

He glanced at the two monsters on the field and quickly made a decision.

"I will not fight back, but continue the attack. Use the Predator Panther to attack the 'Magician's Robe'!"

Although the Dark Magician appeared, his robes, with an attack power of only 800, were merely for show. If destroyed, they could still inflict significant damage on the opponent.

But Dark Game merely twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, as if this attack was entirely within his calculations.

"Then at this moment, activate the face-down card, the Trap Card 'Try Switch'!" Yami Yugi said, "When a monster on your field is targeted for an attack, you can swap two monsters on your field to attack another monster on your field!"

Barrett's expression changed slightly: "What?"

Dark Game points to the Dark Magician: "Make the Predator Leopard's target the Dark Magician!"

As the predatory leopard slashed halfway through its attack, it suddenly seemed to experience a moment of dizziness, losing its sense of direction. It then swung its blade at the black magician.

The master craftsman naturally wouldn't give him a friendly look, and without saying a word, he suddenly unleashed his right palm. A surge of surging black magic power erupted, and the opponent's slash was instantly shattered into dust by the vortex of black magic power halfway through its trajectory. The half-beast, half-machine body also exploded.

[Barrett, LP4000 → LP3100]

Barrett staggered back half a step under the torrent of dark magic, his face not looking too good.

"So that's how it is, you were lying in ambush here," Barrett said coldly. "Then let's just say you have a slight advantage this round."

But at that very moment, the monster effect of the Predator Panther also activated. The Predator Panther's other monster effect states: "If this card is destroyed by battle, you can Special Summon one set of Fusion Materials used when Fusioning this card from your Graveyard."

Barrett reveals the two cards that were discarded from the graveyard.

"I Special Summon 'Dark Panther Warrior' and 'Dark Sentinel' from the Graveyard!"

[The jet-black leopard warrior, attack power 2000]

[Dark Sentinel, Attack Power 1500]
