Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

Although it made a grand entrance, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that Kaiba had just Special Summoned from the Graveyard was forced to switch to Defense Position due to the effect of the opponent's monster, and stood guard next to Kaiba along with another Blue-Eyes monster.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon] [ATK3000→DEF2500]

"You actually managed to survive using that method, Seto Kaiba. You've escaped with your life, but you won't be so lucky next turn." The mysterious man sneered as he played a card from his hand. "Set one card face down, and my turn ends."

"On my next turn, [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman] will attack again, and your Life Points are already as fragile as a candle in the wind!"

Chapter 876 Fatal Five-Hit Combo (without error)

[?: 5000LP, 0 cards in hand]

【Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman】【ATK4800】

[GaiK] X2

"Although my brother managed to survive just now, as long as that [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman] is still there, the dragon monsters that make up the majority of his deck can't activate their effects or attack. It's like he activated a one-sided [Skill Drain].

Keihei had a serious expression on his face, but when he turned to look at Ameruda and Hayato beside him, he found that the two of them had already stood up and were stretching their legs, as if they had already seen that the duel was over and were preparing to walk out.

“We understand how worried you are about Kaiba, Minami Rika. I know you’re anxious, but don’t worry.” Hayato pulled out a chocolate bar from somewhere and handed it to Keihei, saying casually, “The result of the duel is obvious, it’s over.”

"To say that the opponent's base score is 'a candle flickering in the wind' is such a pity. I thought I would see Seto Kaiba suffer a defeat." Amelda also had a regretful expression, just like Hayato, as if she could already see her opponent's defeat.

"That reason sounds so unreliable..." Keihei said with a flat face, but still took the chocolate bar from Hayato's hand. "And how many times do I have to say it, it's Keihei. Minami Rika sounds like a woman's name."

"Well, don't worry about the details. A man named Camus can be a real man too."

After the mysterious man finished his turn, it was Kaiba's turn. Seeing Kaiba place his finger on his deck, the man spoke again: "Although you used a card that wasn't in the intelligence, I still believe that Seto Kaiba's deck is still a Dragon-type monster deck with 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' as the main element. Even if you have monsters of other types, it's impossible for them to surpass 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'."

"However, even if it is Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes Double Burst Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, or even True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, no dragon-type monster can be a match for my Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman. You think you can create a chance to defeat me with just one draw? There is less than 1% chance."

Upon hearing the man's words, Kaiba snorted coldly and drew a card directly from his deck, saying, "You talk too much nonsense. Is data all you have in your head? Duel Monsters aren't something that can be encompassed by data; there are variables involved."

"That variable is my will as a duelist, and the response of my deck to me. If you can't even see through this, you're just a third-rate duelist with a fourth-rate deck."

"My turn, draw a card." Kaiba glanced at the card he had drawn, a cold smile playing on his lips. "As long as there's a chance of winning, even if it's only 1% or less, it doesn't matter, because for a true duelist, everything is inevitable!"

"I activate the spell card [Death-Slaying Treasure Card] and draw cards until I have 5 cards in my hand. However, powerful cards often come with great risks. During my fifth standby phase after this card is activated, I need to discard all my cards."

With the mysterious man's "You call this a price?" expression on his face, Kaiba drew five cards in one go and immediately played one of them. "Next, I will use this card, [Fusion], to select the third [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] in my hand and the two [Blue-Eyes White Dragons] on the field as fusion materials."

"The supreme, most powerful, and most benevolent ultimate dragon has descended here!"

"Fusion Summoning! My glory, my soul!"

"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"

The power of [Fusion] was released and swept towards Kaiba's field and hand. Three [Blue-Eyes White Dragons] flew up together and circled around Kaiba, their souls breaking free from the shackles of gravity and rising into the air.

Seeing this, the mysterious man sneered, "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon? Although it's a legendary monster with an attack power of 4500, my Dragon Destroyer Swordsman's attack power will increase by another 2000 because you've added more Dragon-type monsters to the field and graveyard!"

"Not only that, the effect of [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman] means that even the ultimate dragon [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] can't attack me!"

Before the holy light gathered by the fusion summon had dissipated, the mysterious figure on the field, [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman], made another move. The gem on the longsword in his hand lit up, and his attack power increased sharply. At the same time, he suppressed the [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] that had just appeared in an instant.

【Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman】【ATK4800→6800】

[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] [ATK4500→DEF3800]

"Hmph, even if you draw five cards in one go, it only increases the attack power of my [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman]. You even arrogantly didn't summon [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] but [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]. The price for looking down on me is your defeat, Seto Kaiba!"

Hearing the mysterious man say this, Guiping was also somewhat unable to understand Kaiba's actions.

Although Kaiba did draw Blue-Eyes White Dragon, why summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to increase the number of Dragon monsters on the field and in the graveyard when there's no way to destroy Dragon Destroyer - Destroyer? Isn't that just strengthening the opponent's monsters for nothing?

But when Keipai looked at Kaiba, he saw him drawing a card from his hand. Suddenly, he remembered that his brother had a monster that could only be summoned using Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon as a springboard. Could that be—

"Defeat? Hmph, too bad. Although Kobayashi Hayato and Muto Yugi are still keeping me in check and making me feel frustrated, I have no intention of losing to anyone else except those two."

“Even a mediocre talent like Jonouchi Katsuya is no exception, let alone someone like you who's just a nobody.” Holding the card above his head, Kaiba proclaimed, “Dragon of the Heavens, etched in time, this moment is the ultimate moment!”

"Shine like a shooting star! The most glorious and powerful dragon is born here!"

"Release [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] to Special Summon [Blue-Eyes Light Dragon] from my hand!"

As Kaiba placed the card in his hand onto the Duel Disk with what appeared to be force but was actually quite gentle, the wings of his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which was in Defense Position and had already been folded up due to its Defense Position, curled up even more tightly to cover its body. At the same time, its three heads drooped down, and cracks appeared all over its body.

From the crack, a faint light was emanating, as if the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was about to molt and evolve into a completely new form.

Up until the release of [Blue-Eyes Double Burst Dragon] and [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], the mysterious man seemed to have been gathering relevant information, since Kaiba had officially used these cards in public. However, the name [Blue-Eyes Light Dragon] was something the mysterious man had never heard of before.

Just like when he heard the card name "Blue-Eyes Girl" before, a very obvious look of panic appeared on his face, and he began to mutter to himself: "Another card I don't know about, damn it, this wasn't in my calculations!"

"No, so what if I've never heard of it? In the end, it's just a dragon monster. Now that I've summoned the [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman], there's nothing to be afraid of!"

While reassuring himself, the mysterious man looked at the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, whose aura seemed most unique compared to other Blue-Eyes monsters. After a moment's thought, he decisively pressed the face-down button on his Duel Disk. "...Even so, I have a strange feeling that I absolutely cannot let that monster appear!"

"Then, to chain that monster's Special Summon, I'll activate my face-down card, the Trap Card 'Destruction Sword Flash'!"

Just as the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon was about to descend, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman moved once again, sheathing his sword at his waist, and then suddenly drew his sword, unleashing a huge sword aura that swept towards Kaiba's field!

"【Destruction Sword Flash】Can only be activated if I control a Fusion Monster that requires 【Destruction Swordsman】as Fusion Material. Its effect is to banish all monsters on my opponent's field!"

As the massive slash advanced, the mysterious man said smugly, "Monsters that are outside my plans have no need to appear. If you hinder my plans or that person's plans, I will eliminate you!"

"You're next, Seto Kaiba!"

Although the "Destruction Sword Flash" had not yet fully taken effect, removing the "Blue-Eyes Girl" and the "Blue-Eyes Light Dragon" that had not yet appeared on the field from Kaiba's field, the person believed that Kaiba would never have any means of counterattack.

However, just like how the attack from [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman], which almost made the mysterious man think he could secure the victory, was blocked by [Blue-Eyes Girl], this time when the trap card he activated swept across the ball of light that was about to transform into [Blue-Eyes Light Dragon], the slash actually passed right through it!?

"Hmph, you think you can use that kind of card to strip Blue-Eyes from me again? Fool, it's too early to be dreaming." Kaiba sneered. "Blue-Eyes Light Dragon allows me to freely choose whether to accept the card's effect. Its power surpasses even that of a god. You think you can banish it with just a mere Trap Card?"

"My formula for victory is far more perfect than you can imagine!"

The slash swept past Blue-Eyes Girl, banishing it from Kaiba's field. Kaiba, his eyes blazing with fury, coldly removed the Blue-Eyes Girl card from his Duel Disk, and Blue-Eyes Light Dragon had already arrived.

[Blue-Eyes Light Dragon] [10☆/Light]

[Dragon/Special Summon/Effect]

[3000/2500]

"Blue-Eyes Light Dragon is the embodiment of pure light power, and is not affected by any resistance effects. Furthermore, light will act as a bond, connecting the power of every dragon monster in my graveyard." Kaiba waved his hand and said, "Because of Blue-Eyes Light Dragon's effect, her attack power will increase by 300 points for every dragon monster in my graveyard."

[Blue-Eyes Light Dragon] [ATK3000→4200]

"Wow, it's still in attack stance!? It can even withstand the power of a god, the legendary invincible 'Three Egyptian Gods' wielded by the Duel King Hayato Kobayashi? Is this Seto Kaiba's true power?"

The mysterious man gritted his teeth, still stubbornly insisting, "However, it's only a mere 4200 points of attack power. Because the number of your dragon monsters has increased again, the attack power of [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman] will also be increased!"

【Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman】【ATK6800→7800】

"Attack power of 4200 points versus attack power of 7800 points, the attack power is in my favor!"

Hearing this, the seahorse smiled coldly: "You want me to attack you with Blue-Eyes Light Dragon? You're not qualified. Besides, I never said that Blue-Eyes Light Dragon's ability to contend with gods comes from its resistance."

"I'll repeat myself, it's pointless if I can't hit it. I'm going to activate the effect of [Blue-Eyes Light Dragon], and forcibly destroy any card on the field by sacrificing it!"

Pointing forward, Kaiba declared, "I will destroy the [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman]!"

"Tch, no way! I'm going to chain-activate a face-down card, the second [Forbidden Cloth], reducing the attack of [Dragon Destroyer Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman] by 600 points, so it won't be affected by—"

"Muda muda muda, the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon is the strongest and invincible dragon. Even without overwhelming attack and defense, its effects have the highest priority. Even gods cannot withstand it. The Blue-Eyes Light Dragon's effect is to negate all resistances and force destruction. Do you dare to disobey me, who possesses the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon!?"

"Shining New Star!"

As the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon spectacularly self-destructed, the power she released instantly swept across the entire field and enveloped everything. Despite donning the Energy Cloth immediately, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman on the Mysterious Man's field was utterly powerless to resist and was obliterated and destroyed, sent to the graveyard.

The light faded, and there were no cards left on either side's field.

"That kind of underhanded effect, it's infuriating!" The mysterious man was furious as he watched his carefully planned and accumulated advantages vanish in an instant. "The plan is completely ruined!"

"But my base score is 5000 points. So what if all my cards are destroyed? Does that mean my opponent can defeat me in one turn with the last two cards in their hand?"

Then, he saw the card that the seahorse had played.

"If I have the Spell Card [Guidance of Light] on my field and there are three or more [Blue-Eyes] in my Graveyard, I can activate this effect. Special Summon one of those [Blue-Eyes] to my field and equip it with [Guidance of Light]."

Kaiba retrieved the card "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" from his graveyard and placed it on the field, sneering, "My other monsters cannot attack except those equipped with 'Guide to Light.' And if there is a 'Blue-Eyes' monster in my graveyard, the equipped monster can attack up to the number of 'Blue-Eyes' monsters in my graveyard during a Battle Phase."

The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon reappeared on Kaiba Stadium, and behind it, the phantoms of the three Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, and Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon appeared one by one.

"Attack, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Hyper Burst Stream!"

"One in a row!" "Two in a row!" "Three in a row!" "Four in a row!" "Five in a row!"

"Shattered! Crushed! Cheers!"

Chapter 877 One more look and it will explode

"Hmph, yet another victory with no suspense."

Putting away its card, Kaiba arrogantly raised its head and looked down through its nostrils at the mysterious figure who was slumped forward in dejection after Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's "Fatal Five-Hit Combo".

"Damn it, this is not the outcome I planned at all! Why did I still fail to defeat you, Seto Kaiba, even though I included so many cards in my deck that countered you?!"

"You bastard, you're not even looking at me properly!" The man looked up and found that the seahorse wouldn't even bother to glance at him, and he was furious.

While Kaiba certainly had a blast using Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in this duel, he still felt somewhat unsatisfied deep down.

The duel he wanted had to be one where both sides went all out, scheming and solving the puzzles left by each other, and finally ending the duel with a devastating offensive after a series of entanglements. Only that kind of duel could satisfy him.

As for the uninvited guy who was his opponent this time, although he said he had filled up his card with cards, he only drew one "Destroyer Swordsman" card from beginning to end. It can be seen that he is not a real duelist at all. After all, real duelists do not rely on data. Selectively, Kaiba forgot that he had actually used Hayato and Yugi's duel data to simulate duels quite a lot before.

Furthermore, the targeted nature of "Destroyer Swordsman" is honestly just so-so. It only increases attack power, negates monster effects, and blocks attacks. In Kaiba's personal experience, it is not comparable to the various insidious methods that Hayato has used, such as "Mental Collapse" destroying "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in the hand, and "Family Destruction" chaining and destroying "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", etc.

Turning around, the seahorse's voice was full of contempt and disdain: "Hmph, I have never had the habit of remembering the names of losers. Being defeated by me once means that you can never beat me again. My genius mind only contains the future, not the space for losers to get in my way."

“Normally, I might have investigated where you came from, this guy who inexplicably stopped me, but I don’t have time right now. This unsatisfying duel has already wasted quite a bit of my time. Now, I’m going to find Keipai.”

As he spoke, the seahorse strode away, not even glancing back at the mysterious man he had defeated, as if looking at him again would cause an explosion.

But precisely because the seahorse didn't even bother to look at him again and even made sarcastic remarks, the mysterious man, who had been gritting his teeth, angrily stood up and was about to pounce on the seahorse: "How can someone like you be so narrow-minded! I will correct you!"

Seahorse frowned, immediately preparing to deliver a stylish spinning back kick when his opponent rushed behind him. However, to his surprise, the man stopped after taking only two steps. This wasn't because he was afraid of Seahorse, but because someone grabbed his raised hand.

Suddenly, a person dressed in a black robe and hood, whose face was obscured except for his chin, appeared and silently grabbed the other person's hand. The guy who was fighting the seahorse tried to shake him off several times but couldn't.

The seahorse turned around in surprise, because he hadn't noticed where this suddenly appearing creature had been standing. Where did it come from? And what about its size...?

Although the black cloth obscured the exact figure and face of the person on the other side, the height was undeniable. The second person who appeared was slightly taller. Kaiba estimated that he was at least 1.95 meters tall, about the same height as Kobayashi Hayato.

"Who is that guy!?" Not only Kaiba, but Hayato and the others who were hiding in the shadows were also very surprised that someone had suddenly appeared. Where had this person been before? If he hadn't just arrived, could he have been hiding somewhere like them?
