Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

Axelia frowned in pain as she watched the familiar yet unfamiliar cards flash by, her mind reverberating.

Seeing her distressed expression, Albus felt a pang of sadness himself and froze in his tracks.

Luo Bai saw this but remained silent.

He always kept the distinction between duels and feelings.

At least you can see clearly when you're just observing.

Hubert smiled without saying a word, his thoughts unknown.

The underworld is a very ironic place.

“I…” Albus gritted his teeth and said, “I will return the following cards from my graveyard to my deck: [Albus's Fallen Heir], [Ice Sword Dragon], [Demon Knight], [Branded Dragon], [Traitorous Dragon], [Iron-Body Dragon], and [Guiding Saintess].

The card phantoms flashed through the void one by one, then converged together.

"This is the end of the story..."

Fusion Summon!

"Descend, [White Cardinal Dragon]!"

White Cardinal Dragon

The earth trembled violently as a golden-haired, white-armored mechanical dragon broke free of its restraints and let out a deafening roar.

“Wow—that’s terrifying.” Huber turned to look at Luo Bai, his gaze playful. “Seeing this far.”

Chapter 638 The Sixth Level (The End)

“The dragon that brought about the end…” Execia stared at the dragon, fragmented images flashing through her mind, her gaze becoming unfocused.

"We have to win." Luo Bai and Albus were still on their guard.

Before the intelligent referee announces the outcome, nothing is certain.

Axelia also has an unknown face card.

【King's Mark】 can control this face-down card, but the problem is that 【King's Mark】 must be activated before attacking, otherwise it will be counter-damaged by 【Pain】.

After opening the [King's Mark] card, there's no way to deal with it anymore.

Albus, panting, stared at the only card in his hand, his gaze hardening.

"Activate the effect of the card [Black-Clad Dragon, White Realm Dragon] in your hand."

"Send [Albus's Fallen Child] from your deck to the graveyard, return this card to your deck, and then draw a card!"

"please..."

He took a deep breath, pressed his fingertips to the top of the deck, and the whole world seemed to freeze. His heart raced and his breathing became rapid.

"Draw a card!"

A ray of golden light streaked across the dimly lit dueling room.

At that moment, the entire venue fell silent.

The duelists and the voyeurs all had their eyes on the new card Albus had just drawn.

"A [Whirlwind] would be fine too," Luo Bai thought to himself.

Albus slowly glanced away, and the moment he saw Katu, his eyes widened and his heart stopped.

"This card is..."

The Necromancer's deck is not fixed; its essence is not magic cards but "spirit cards," which are all phantom fragments of stories and memories, even if they have long forgotten them.

"What did we draw?" Luo Bai and the others frowned.

What card did you draw that caused such a strong reaction? You can't even hold the card properly?

"Activate the effect of [Brand of Judgment] from the graveyard," Albus said, regaining his composure. "Ban this card and add [White Brand] from the graveyard to your hand."

"Advance to the combat rank!"

As soon as the declaration was made, the entire hall fell silent.

"【White Cardinal Dragon】can attack each of your opponent's monsters once. When declaring an attack, you must send 1 card from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard."

"Send the [Branded Dragon] to the grave, [White Cardinal Dragon] attacks [Ubel Elf]!"

The White Cardinal Dragon spewed forth raging flames, its mechanical body emitting a tremendous roar, and spread its wings that blotted out the sky, slashing down its dragon claws at the Hubel Elf.

“But…” Acricia said in a trembling voice, “[Nightmare of Pain] will reflect the damage back to you.”

"Open the card." Albus waved his hand, his voice firm, "[The Radiant King's Mark]!"

"Target [White Cardinal Dragon], negate the effects of all face-up cards on the field except that monster until the end of this turn!"

Burn it!

In an instant, a torrent of flames swept across the entire battlefield.

The thorns were burned to ashes, and the demon howled in agony.

All the Guardians, Dragons, Elves of the Nightmare, Yama, Nightmare of Pain, and Nightmare Throne on the field are rendered ineffective.

“All of them…” Acricia looked around blankly.

Albus gritted his teeth, his gaze resolute: "Let's go!"

With a roar, the White Cardinal Dragon unleashed its inner flames and swung its dragon claws, causing the Yubel Elf to explode in a deafening crash.

"Send the [Scarf Dragon] to the grave, then attack the [Extremely Sad Demon Dragon]!"

The White Cardinal Dragon flapped its wings and charged toward the Extremely Sad Demon Dragon like a meteor. With a roar and a howl, the two dragons began to wrestle.

Finally, the extremely sorrowful dragon let out a mournful cry in the sea of ​​fire and collapsed powerlessly.

The powerful impact of the battle pierced through the duelist.

"Again!" Albus's voice was triumphant. "Send [Ice Sword Dragon] to the graveyard and attack [Ubel Phantom]!"

The White Cardinal Dragon turned and swung its claws at the Phantom. The Phantom deployed a golden barrier to defend itself, but the White Cardinal Dragon's power was too great, shattering it and killing it instantly.

Guardian Group LP: 18000→13500→9000→4500.

"It's not over yet..."

Albus, panting heavily, looked at the unfinished game on the field, his voice weary and trembling.

"Send the [Demon Knight] to the grave...attack [Destroyer God King Yama]!"

[White Cardinal Dragon] spewed out raging flames and rushed towards [Yama] (who was dripped with them). [Yama] used his arms to block, but the flames were too fierce and instantly engulfed him.

Flames rose all around Acrisia, creating a sea of ​​fire.

The two men gazed at each other across the fire.

Just like that year and that day.

Guardian Group LP: 4500 → 1000.

The two duelists have their basic scores back to the same level, each with 1,000 points remaining.

"【Hell Dragon】..." Albus took a deep breath and waved his hand forward, "Attack directly!"

Luo Bai stared at the unknown card opposite him, his pupils constricting as he murmured softly, "Can I pass...?"

[Hell Dragon] flapped its wings and pounced on Akrisia.

As the deadly attack came, Acyria simply stared at Albus, her gaze seeming to traverse hundreds of years, flashing back to a scene from the past.

“Open the cover card…” she gently waved her arm.

"[The Encounter with Teaching]".

The encounter with teaching

As soon as he finished speaking, two lines of text appeared before everyone.

●Special Summon 1 "Teach" monster or "Albus's Fallen" from your hand.

●Add 1 "Teach" monster or "Albus's Fallen Child" from your Graveyard to your hand or Special Summon it.

Albus stared at the two lines of text, his eyes trembling uncontrollably.

“I don’t have [Albus’s Fallen Heir],” Acycia said with a bitter smile. “Special Summon—”

"【The Saintess Who Teach. Acrisia】(Guardian)."

"【Acricia】's effect: Add 【Teaching Knight Friedrich】 to your hand."

"Oh no." Luo Bai's eyes darkened, turning ashen and lifeless.

The final blow was blocked. If [Akrysia] is destroyed, the [Yama] effect in the graveyard will be triggered.

Hubert turned his head and raised the corners of his mouth: "What a pity, so close."

"Quick-attack magic..." Albus's deep voice drew everyone's attention back.

"brand..."

His body trembled as he picked out a card from his hand and gently placed it on the duel disk.

"【Light of the Brand】..."

Acycia's eyes widened, her voice trembling: "[The Light of the Mark]..."

Light of Branding

Return the [True Flame Dragon] from the Graveyard to the Extra Deck.

"Special Summon 1 'The Fallen Child of Albus' from your Graveyard and 1 monster from your opponent's Graveyard to their field."

"Special Summon..."

"【Albus's Fallen Heir】and...【Akrysia】(Gong)."

The dragon-born boy and the blonde saintess gazed at each other across the fire, and the world seemed to stand still, silent.

"【Albus's Fall】effect."

"Discard the [White Mark] card from your hand and use [Albus's Fallen Heir] and [Acrecia (Guard)] as materials."
