Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 276 Crimson's Counterattack

Chapter 276 Crimson's Counterattack
The pitch-black flames instantly swept across the dueling arena, and even a priest who had cultivated for three thousand years could not directly stop the roar from the grave or the pitch-black dragon breath that seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld.

By the time the magician realized what was happening, the flames rising from beneath the earth had already completely enveloped the duelist.

Yugi Muto's LP: 4000 → 1600

【Katsuya Jonouchi's LP: 2800→400】

In a dark game, this blow would be enough to severely injure the duelists, but this is a battle between friends.

Faced with that shock, the Pharaoh did not retreat, but instead embraced it all.

'boom'

As the black flames dissipated, the Pharaoh's lips curled into a smile:

“Well done, Jonouchi. I have fully accepted your resolve, but don’t forget that you were hurt along with me. Your wife’s situation is even worse than mine.”

"It doesn't matter……"

He gently stroked the other card that hadn't been flipped open, and then took a deep breath.

"I'm ready!"

"Is that so? Then I'll set a card in the back row and end this turn."

Then, the Pharaoh reached out his hand:

"Let me see, Jonouchi, let me see your strength."

"Of course you won't be disappointed."

Gently placing his hand on top of the deck, Jonouchi took a deep breath.

His fingers were trembling and his heart was shaking, but he knew that this was not fear or resentment.

That was excitement, that was resentment...

Just like the potential that a duelist unleashes when forced to the brink of life and death, he felt a surge of energy welling up inside him.

"I'd be unwilling to leave just like this—I'll draw a card!"

'Ding'

The moment the card left the deck, a crisp sound seemed to echo across the field.

Like dice falling to the ground, or a warrior honing his sword, in the end...

"The card I drew is... 'The Fate', and I'm going to activate it now!"

As is well known, the first generation had three great treasures.

Seto Kaiba's death, Yugi Muto's sudden appearance, and finally, the highly random nature of fate.

Of course, from the perspective of modern card players, its strength is probably the highest among the fancy card-drawing methods of the early generations.

Because its effect is as follows:
"Based on the effect of 'Fate's Decree,' I can roll a die, draw the number of cards represented by the result from my deck, and then banish the same number of cards from my deck."

“But Jonouchi, didn’t you just suffer a loss with dice before? Is it really okay to continue relying on dice now?”

"Honda, shut up! That's all I have in my deck, so what am I supposed to do?!"

Seeing his friend start to speak ill of him, Jonouchi, whose face was originally somewhat handsome, couldn't help but make a funny face.

But he quickly regained his composure.

"But that's precisely why I have to move forward... so I have to draw that card no matter what."

Then, the duelist looked up:
So, come on!

'patta'

A giant die fell from the sky and began to spin.

Of course, Jonouchi has always been very lucky, and if left to his own devices, he could indeed roll a good number.

However, duels are never that simple.

It is war, a way for duelists to fight with all their might.

'Boom'

Just as the dice were about to reveal the result, a phantom image resembling the sun appeared in the sky.

Immediately, the blazing sun's breath fell like heavenly fire.

"I've already said it, I will fight with all my might in this duel within the castle!"

"Yes, so I will show you everything about myself!"

'boom'

In the scorching heat of the fire, the dice were shattered, and the numbers on the remaining side were rapidly being erased.

But in the very next moment...

"Therefore, I absolutely must draw those cards!"

Black flames surged from the pure gold divine flames, directly triggering a fierce conflict.

'boom'

When the smoke and dust that had obscured our vision completely dissipated, the broken die was left with not a single complete face.

Even so, the last remaining black dot still stands:

"Since the number of faces is 3, I draw three cards from the deck and then remove three cards from the deck!"

‘Wow’

Perhaps it was the operation of the projection system, but the moment Jonouchi drew a card again, a wisp of light burst forth from his fingertips.

"Hmm? That's..." "Okay, coming!"

Immediately afterwards, the black fire that had been transmitted from beneath the earth burned upwards, directly enveloping the duelist's body.

"Hey, the castle is on fire?!"

"Shut up, Honda. Just you wait and see—I'm about to activate the 'Cry of the Living Dead' card—and revive 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon.'"

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon"

"atk/2400"

"Next, I'll activate the ritual magic—'Red-Eyes Reincarnation'!"

"Wait, Youming, that card..."

"calm down."

Gently comforting the shocked Yashiki-warashi, Yumei pursed his lips.

He wasn't surprised at all, since the card itself originated from Jonouchi, as did the ritual monster it summoned!
"Just like how you improve through games, I will also grow."

Meeting the Pharaoh's gaze, the duelist, seemingly burning with rage, slammed down the card:

"I will Tribute 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' on the field and 'Flame Swordsman' (originally a low-level Normal Monster) from my hand to Special Summon 'Red King' (original effect)."

In an instant, a jet-black flame swept out, and the crimson-eyed black dragon merged directly into the duelist's body, transforming into a sturdy suit of armor.

"True Crimson King (lv8)"

Attribute/Dark

"Race/Dragon"

"atk/2400 def/2100"

"The Crimson King..."

Looking at the warriors now clad in jet-black dragon armor, the Pharaoh quickly recovered from his surprise.

"Is that so? This is your power."

"That's right, I've already sworn an oath to become stronger together with this guy."

"However, don't forget that the monster's attack power is insufficient."

“That’s right, but there’s a lot of magical energy emanating from the field right now, and the ‘Crimson King’ has the ability to utilize it.”

"magic?"

"That's right, I activated two spell cards this turn."

"Could it be..."

"That's the activation condition for 'Crimson King's' effect: After using two Spell Cards in a turn, 'Crimson King' can use that power to destroy all other monsters except himself! (Original effect)"

"Complete destruction?!"

Finally, the Pharaoh's expression changed.

He looked up and saw a phantom image appear on the Crimson King, who was the duelist in disguise.

The flames were pitch black, and as the calamity swept across, the magician cavalry on the field finally could not hold on and collapsed completely.

"The battle is about to begin. Game, no matter what, this will be my final blow!"

Amidst the fragments of dark magic, Jonouchi slowly lowered the duel disk in his hand:

"I now command myself—the Crimson King—to launch a direct attack on you!"

'boom'

"You've really gotten stronger, Jonouchi."

Gazing at the approaching black dragon phantom, the Pharaoh couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Not only can they deploy tactics at will, but they can also counterattack even when faced with the pressure of the Phantom God, and they even possess such a powerful monster."

"another me……"

"But I also have my reasons for wanting to win."

With a sigh, the fist, wreathed in flames, was already upon him.

The declaration phase has ended, and the formal assessment phase has begun.

"The trap card was not activated."

Whispers rippled through the city.

"Could it be that……"

Are we going to win?
But before those immature thoughts could be put into words, a small figure stopped everything.

"that is……"

The little devil was just blinking his innocent eyes, but his tiny body completely blocked his fist.

That monster is familiar to almost everyone.

"Chestnut balls."
