Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1685 Self-Destruction
"The effect of the White Blade Beast Fighter Medal has ended!" Barrett shouted. "800 points of damage!"

The white-bladed medals floating in mid-air suddenly began to glow, then started to spin, transforming into beams of light that shot straight toward the location of the game.

However, Yami Yugi remained calm and showed no sign of panic. He simply revealed one card in his hand: "Then discard 'Winged Cotton Ball' from your hand. Its effect is activated."

The turn this card is discarded from your hand, all effect damage you take during that turn becomes 0.

The damage from the Beast Fighter Medal was completely absorbed by this small, snow-white cotton ball, failing to deal any damage whatsoever.

Yu Ma praised, "Beautiful! You avoided a fatal blow!"

"Don't get too cocky," Barrett said in a deep voice. "The follow-up effect of the 'White Blade Beast Fighter Medal' that was just sent to the grave can further increase the attack power of the Beast Fighter by 100 points based on the number of medal tokens."

Therefore, I'm increasing the attack power of 'Beast Fighter - Predator Leopard' by another 800 points!

[Beast Fighter - Predator Leopard, Attack Power 1600 → Attack Power 2400]

The cheetah's increased attack power instantly reversed the situation once again.

"This is not good," Astral said calmly. "The attack power of 'Fantasy Black Mage' on the game's side has been reduced to 1700 due to the 'Iron Chain Beast Fighter Medal'."

“Right, right! If the leopard's attack succeeds, it will directly deal 700 points of combat damage,” Yuma said. “Then Mr. Game, with only 800 HP, is still in danger.”

"That's it."

Despite saying that, Xingguang still wore a faint smile on his face. The other seafood kings also looked relaxed and watching the show, none of them showing any displeasure.

Anyway, Mr. Game will definitely have a way.

"Fight!" Barrett declared. "Beast Fighter - Predator Leopard, let's put an end to this battle!"

His strong arm cleaved down like a sharp blade.

"You are a worthy opponent, and you deserve to become my new medal!"
Beast Fighter - Predator Leopard, attack 'Dark Magician of Fantasy'!

The predatory leopard gripped its sword and slashed sharply. A surge of transparent sword energy pierced through the black-robed mage, its momentum undiminished as it continued its trajectory towards the game player.

“Illusionary Dark Mages affected by the ‘Red Lock Beast Fighter Medal’ cannot be destroyed in battle,” Barrett said. “However, battle damage must still be calculated.”

"Beat this wound, and let it become a medal of honor for me!"

Dark Game remained expressionless, calmly drawing the legendary monster card from his hand.

"Chestnut ball!"

As one card was sent to the graveyard, the tiny Kuriboh seemed to squeeze out of the card art and onto the field, shouting "Kuri!" twice and spreading its little arms to block the game.

The domineering sword energy struck the small chestnut ball head-on, and the chestnut ball instantly turned into a phantom and vanished. But even as it disappeared, a fierce expression remained on its round face.

Barrett's expression changed slightly: "Could that be... that small monster from before?"

He recognized it. This was the foolish elf who had dared to stand in his way before the game and the others appeared.

At this crucial moment, the most important sword strike was actually blocked by this thing?
"Not some weakling, Kuriboh is my most important partner. It always has been, and it always will be," Yami Yugi shouted. "Kuriboh's effect is that when the opponent attacks, it is discarded from their hand, reducing the damage of a battle to 0."

The Kuriboh he was using this time wasn't the one he usually used. This time, he was using the very Kuriboh he had recently rescued from the clutches of his enemies. The Kuriboh that had already left the field reappeared, waving its little paws angrily and barking "Kuri-Kuri" at Barrett.

“Don’t worry,” Dark Game glanced at it, its tone softening, “I will protect this shop, which holds the most important memories for you and your master. I will even protect this town and its surviving inhabitants.”

Dark Game turned back, his eyes filled with determination.

"We will protect them to the very end."

"It's just a temporary rebuff for this round, don't get too cocky," Barrett said coldly. "The outcome of this duel will not change, just as the fate of this town will remain the same."

This world already belongs to Lord Zack, including everyone within it. Those who dare defy the will of the world itself will only face death.

"No, the world doesn't belong to anyone. Every person, every card, has its own will, and no one can take that away," Yami Yugi shouted. "Those who only think about possession and enslavement are not worthy of being called kings!"

Such a false king, I will defeat him!

The watch behind him flickered with a knowing look: "Another me."

The Omote Game is the one who understands the Dark Game best; there's no need for him to say anything, he has already guessed what the Dark Game is thinking.

Ever since learning about his past life, Yami Yugi has been worried that his past life contained some kind of character setting that he could not accept.

The image he fears most is probably someone like Zach.

A pervert who sees rule as his own power, regards the people as ants, and satisfies his possessiveness through enslavement and tyranny.

Therefore, this duel, and their entire battle against Zack, holds special significance for Dark Game in some respects.

Seemingly sensing his thoughts, the game player comforted him, saying, "We will win, the other me, as always."

Hearing AIBO's gentle words, Yami Yugi's serious expression seemed to relax a little, and he smiled: "Yes, as always."

Barrett didn't say anything more, his face still cold, but he glanced at the other card in his hand.

"Set one card face down, turn over." Barrett inserted the card into the Duel Disk.

The last card he just set was the trap card "Honorary Beast Fighter Medal".

Medal of Honor is a card that can be activated when a Beast Fighter Fusion Monster on your field is targeted for an attack.

You can destroy the attacked Beast Fighter monster and Special Summon a set of Fusion Material Monsters used to Summon that monster from your Graveyard to your field.

More importantly, both sides must then take damage equal to the combined ATK of the monsters Special Summoned by this effect.

This is his last trump card. If he is defeated, he can at least choose to self-destruct. With the remaining health of both sides, as long as he self-destructs the "Beast Fighter - Predator Leopard" on the field, he can strive for a mutual destruction result.

Barrett made up his mind.

Even if he couldn't achieve final victory, he would at least try to trade one for one, even if it meant sacrificing his own life to eliminate the dangerous duelist on the other side for the academy.
