Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

So he gently patted Lilith's shoulder, signaling her not to be nervous, then stepped out from behind her, looked directly at Garru, and said calmly:

"Want to fight me?"

"Sure. But... this amount of money isn't enough."

He intended to use that [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] himself, so there was no way he could sell it.

Since the opponent wants to gamble, let's follow the duelist's rules—gamble with cards.

After all, truly valuable and rare cards are always in short supply!

If you want the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] in his possession, then offer something of equal value!

In a duel, You Yang never thought he would lose!

Upon hearing this, Garru didn't hesitate at all; in fact, a hint of excitement appeared on his face as he nodded and said:

"Okay! Great! Let's go!"

"If you beat me, you can take any card from our organization!"

In a duel, Garrut also doesn't believe he will lose!

Seeing that both sides were ready to fight, the duel was about to begin immediately.

The silver-haired boy standing nearby turned pale with fright and quickly tried to stop him.

"Hey hey!"

"Wait! Everyone!"

"Please don't fight here! This is my office!"

If these gods start fighting in his office, will he even be able to keep this place?

Finally, after the silver-haired boy's earnest pleas and guidance, the group moved to a professional dueling arena inside the guild.

The two stood on opposite sides of the dueling platform. As they inserted their decks into their dueling disks, a chilling aura instantly filled the air.

The duel begins now!

[The duel begins!]

[Youyang: LP 8000]

[Garru: LP 8000]

"First strike is mine!"

Seeing the virtual coin that had fallen to the ground display heads up, You Yang's gaze sharpened, and he quickly drew five cards from his deck.

Perfect, let him try out the power of this newly adjusted and brand-new hero deck!

"My turn!"

Looking at his hand, You Yang immediately drew a card and inserted it into the Spell & Trap Zone of the Duel Disk.

"Then, I will activate the magic card from my hand—[Reinforcements]!"

"Based on its effect, I can add one Level 4 or lower Warrior monster from my deck to my hand."

"I've chosen to add [Elemental HERO Skywalker] to my hand from my deck!"

Seeing You Yang attempt to search and expand, Garru reacted swiftly. A wild, wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips as he immediately drew a card from his hand and shouted:

"Want to search? Not so easy!"

"Chain the effect of your [reinforcements]!"

"I activate the effect of the monster card [Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring] from my hand!"

"When the effect of a Spell/Trap/Monster that includes any of the following effects is activated, you can discard this card from your hand to activate this effect. Negate that effect!"

"●The effect of adding a card from the deck to the hand."

"●The effect of Special Summoning a monster from the Deck."

"●The effect of sending cards from the deck to the graveyard."

"Give me a no!"

As Garruto sent his cards to the graveyard, a ghostly loli wearing a pink furisode kimono and cute animal ears emerged playfully from the void, barefoot.

She laughed, and cherry blossom petals rained down from her hands.

The pink cherry blossom rain instantly obscured and swallowed up the brilliance of the [reinforcements] on the Yuyang field!

"It's... [Ashes of Love]?"

Gazing at the pink cherry blossoms falling from the sky, a hint of surprise appeared on You Yang's usually calm face.

He had only been in Raleigh City for a short time, yet he had already encountered two duelists wielding hand traps.

Although the previous Ken Ford did not use it due to its expansion, and instead discarded it.

But the probability is indeed quite astonishing.

You Yang couldn't help but feel a bit amused, wondering if he would encounter a few more traps later on.

For example, [G of Proliferation] or [Spirit King's Wave]?

The dueling environment of this Free Federation is really something to look forward to.

But for now, let's focus on dealing with this person in front of us.

Compared to the astonishment on You Yang's face, Garru on the other side raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of wild beast's triumphant satisfaction at having successfully hunted something.

He had never actually seen a deck called "Elemental HERO" before, and he wasn't quite sure how important the [Elemental HERO Sky Knight] card that Youyang wanted to search for was to the operation of this deck.

However, his wild, instinctive instincts, honed in the wilderness, were frantically warning him—he absolutely could not let You Yang get that card!

That card is dangerous!

So without hesitation, he used up his only hand-shaped hole.

"Since the reinforcements were blocked by Ash Blossom Lily..."

You Yang quickly composed himself, his eyes becoming sharp.

Without hesitation, he slammed another magic card he had prepared beforehand onto the duel disk!

"Then, let's pay the price and have the hero step in!"

"I activate the Spell Card—[Hero's Arrival]!"

"If you have no face-up monsters on your field, you must pay half of your Life Points to activate this skill!"

Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Elemental HERO monster from your Deck!

[Youyang: LP 8000 → 4000]

As You Yang's health bar instantly halved, a fierce gust of wind rose from the ground!

"Howling winds, call upon the name of heroes!"

"I choose to Special Summon—Elemental HERO Skywalker—from my deck!"

Swish-!

A violent, azure whirlwind suddenly rose up over the sunny area, the air currents surging wildly, causing the hems of the two people's clothes to flutter loudly.

At the eye of the storm, the figure of a hero clad in streamlined blue body armor and with enormous mechanical wings spread out behind him quickly solidified.

With the roar of the turbo engine starting up, he instantly soared into the air from the center of the whirlwind, drawing a blue trail in the sky before landing steadily on Youyang's field, arms crossed, his cloak billowing in the wind.

【Elemental Hero - Sky Knight】【4-Star】

[Wind/Warrior Race] [Attack: 1800 / Defense: 300]

"It's that monster again..."

As the blue hero descended from the sky, Garru's smile gradually faded, replaced by a solemn expression.

Although the monster didn't seem too intimidating based on its stats, his beast-like intuition kept warning him—this monster was the core of Youyang's power!

You Yang waved his hand, pointing to the heroes on the field:

"Next, I'll activate the entrance effect of [Elemental Hero - Sky Knight]!"

"This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned!"

Add one "HERO" monster from your deck to your hand!

"I choose to add [Phantom Hero - The Solitary One] to my hand!"

Youyang's movements were fluid and graceful; he precisely drew a card from his deck, revealed it, and added it to his hand.

Without pausing, he immediately revealed the card he had just obtained:

"Immediately afterwards, I activated the effect of [Phantom Hero - The Solitary One] from my hand!"

You can activate this effect by discarding 1 "HERO" monster from your hand, other than this card.

Special Summon this card from your hand!

You Yang picked a card from his hand and sent it to the graveyard.

"I'm sending the [Elemental Hero - Liquid Knight] in my hand to the graveyard!"

"As a price, I will Special Summon [Phantom Hero: The Moralist]!"

A deep, dark purple light flashed across the field, and a heroic warrior clad in strangely designed, sharply styled dark purple armor slowly emerged from the shadows.

He wielded a giant energy blade, and the single-eye-like energy patterns on his armor emitted a faint red glow, giving off an oppressive aura that was both righteous and evil.

【Phantom Hero - The Solitary Moralist】【5 Stars】

[Dark/Warrior Race] [Attack: 1600 / Defense: 1800]

You Yang's attacks were relentless, like a tidal wave, and he continued operating without stopping:

"Next up is the entrance effect for [Phantom Hero - The Solitary Moralist]!"

"This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned."

"I will treat one 'Phantom HERO' monster from my Deck as a Continuous Trap Card and place it face-up in my Spell & Trap Zone!"

"Come forth! [Phantom Hero - Increased Man]!"
