The card player needs to win easily

"Then activate another 'Dark Magic Formation' in your hand—add 'Timaeus the Synthetic Dragon' to your hand!"

"Activate the effect of "Eternal Soul" to Special Summon "Dark Magician"! Then activate "Super Mage - Dark Mage Apprentice" and "Magician's Rescue" to target "Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon" on your field with the effect of "Dark Magic Guide Formation" and Special Summon "Dark Magician Girl" in Attack Position!"

Do you really want to do this?

Kaiba took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision.

"Muto Yugi!"

"My basic score is now 7200."

What is this guy Kaiba talking about?

Jonouchi on the side glanced at Kaiba - his eyes were burning with something.

"Kaiba, what do you want to say?"

The chain is still on the seahorse side.

Yugi stopped thinking and looked at Kaiba, seeing the same gaze filled with determination.

"From now on, for every 2000 base points I lose, I will take a step back."

"I target "Guided Saint Quim" in the Graveyard and activate the effect of "Her's Brand"—I add this card to my hand, then banish monsters from my hand and on the field to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster!"

Four steps back…

"That's not—"

Everyone looked at the abyss three steps behind Kaiba.

"Seahorse Laito! (Chinese)"

The sirens on the city wall also heard the seahorse's declaration.

"You will be fined for using puns."

Liva complained.

"..."

Yugi's eyes widened.

He hadn't expected Kaiba to make such a sacrifice to win.

"Kaiba, what are you doing!?"

Jonouchi became angry after hearing Kaiba's speech.

This is simply an insult to the definition of a duelist in his mind!

Even if Kaiba's strength is far superior to his, Jonouchi would not agree with this approach!

"me--"

Yugi wants to activate the "Magician's Guide Gate" in the graveyard.

However, as someone who had the same experience as Kaiba, he now understood Kaiba's thoughts very well.

If Yugi lost standing there, he would definitely jump.

Likewise, he also saw a certain determination in Kaima Lairen's eyes.

"I--"

The game was groping for its own purpose, hesitant.

grandfather……

grandfather!

His grandfather, Muto Sugoroku, is still waiting for him.

Just like Kaiba's brother, Kaiba Mokuma.

"I banish "Dark Magic's Gate Formation" from the Graveyard and target "Brand of He" on your field to activate the effect of this card in the Graveyard! The effect of "Brand of He" on your field is negated!"

Masaki Anko saw the same determination in Yugi's eyes - a kind of determination that was unfamiliar and completely different from Yugi's usual gentleness.

"I stacked two Black Magicians!"

"[Dark Mage of Fantasy], Xyz Summon!"

Stars scattered, and a circular formation lingered around the blond magician.

"Once per turn, remove one Xyz Material and activate the effect of "Dark Magician of Illusion"! Special Summon a "Dark Magician" from your deck!"

"Enter the Battle Phase! Use "Dark Magician" to attack the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" on your field!"

"Activate the effect of 'Dark Magician of Fantasy'! When a Spellcaster-Type Normal monster declares an attack, target 'Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon' on your field and banish that card!"

Starlight burst out from the magician's right hand, illuminating the entire venue.

The strong fluctuations stimulated the white dragon so much that it howled and perished in another dimension.

"The Dark Magician's direct attack!"

Seahorse LP: 7200-4700

It seemed as if there was fire burning in the seahorse's eyes.

He took a step back.

"Next, let the Super Mage - Black Mage Apprentice attack!"

Seahorse LP: 4700-1900

Took a step back again.

"Game, stop it!"

Anko Masaki finally realized the current situation - Seto Kaiba was serious!

"For Grandpa—I'll use the Dark Magician Girl to launch a direct attack!"

Dark Game didn't stop.

He decisively and quickly launched an attack declaration.

"Yugi! Just like that, use your card to slit my throat!"

Kaiba roared, closing his eyes.

He took a half step back, his heels dangling over the edge.

Goodbye, Trojan horse.

However, the notification that the attack was successful did not come.

Kaiba Seto, who was already prepared, opened his eyes again and saw Yugi kneeling on the ground.

"I can't do it... I can't do it..."

On the side, the quick-attack magic "Illusion Magic" was activated.

"Dark Magician Girl" released the attack declaration on the field, and after switching personality, Yugi urgently activated "Illusion Magic" in his hand card just now, adding "Dark Magician" from the graveyard to his hand card, preventing the attack that would have pushed Kaiba off the cliff.

Something dripped onto the castle floor.

"game--"

Anko Masaki hurriedly ran to Yugi Muto and saw Yugi's eyes filled with tears.

The coldness and determination in it have disappeared.

"My turn is over..."

Yugi could barely hold his six-card hand.

"My turn."

Kaiba drew a card from his deck.

"Send 'Branded Conviction' from your deck to the graveyard to activate the effect of 'Black Dragon, White Dragon'. Return this card to the bottom of your deck, and draw a card."

"Discard Blue-Eyes White Dragon, activate Bargain Shopping, and draw two cards."

Kaiba, with a gloomy expression, planned to end this duel as quickly as possible.

Even Kaiba himself is unwilling to admit his own behavior.

This absolutely goes against the principles of being Seto Kaiba.

Banish "Branded Conviction" and activate its effect to return "Branded Fusion" from the Graveyard to your hand.

"I activate 'Brand Fusion', sending 'Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon' and 'Albus's Fallen Heir' from my deck to the graveyard, and Fusion Summon 'Branded Dragon White Dragon'."

"Use the effect of 'Branded Dragon White Dragon' to banish 'Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon' and 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from your hand, and Fusion Summon 'Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon'."

Banish "Abyss Blue-Eyes Dragon" and increase the ATK of all Level 1000 or higher Dragon-Type monsters on the field by points.

Under the Tyrant Dragon's bombardment of the entire field, Yugi's basic score was reset to zero—he didn't even activate the effect of the destruction of "Super Mage - Black Magician Apprentice".

"I can't do this—I can't do this no matter what! Pushing someone off a cliff like this..."

"I'm so scared... This kind of duel, with another me..."

The tears could not stop flowing.

Game LP: 7300-0

Duel Kingdom: Chapter 18: Soul Relay

(There are two games... that's not wrong...)

Masaki Anzi looked at the game in front of her with heartache.

"Yugi, if you can be so cruel as to let me fall into the abyss, victory will be yours."

Picking up the ten star chips in front of him, Kaiba turned his back.

"Yugi he didn't lose the game, Kaiba!"

"You are the one who lost the game!"

Masaki Kyoko stood up with an angry look on her face.

"Kaiba, you gave up your most important life!"

"Do you really have the courage to face yourself now?"

The wind from the high platform blew on Kaiba Seto's cloak.

He didn't look back, didn't even stop—

If he stopped, Kaiba wasn't even sure if he could keep moving.

Yugi Muto's voluntary failure, Anko Mazaki's anger, and the gazes of the two people on the city wall made Seto Kaiba feel like a huge rock was pressing down on him.

But Seto Kaiba couldn't stop.

He placed the ten-star chip in the hand of the staff who was monitoring the duel for Bekas and walked into the castle.

"game……"

Ignoring his companions' cries, Yugi just stared at the ground in silence.

"Yugi! Stop being silent! Don't you even care about Grandpa's life or death?"

Jonouchi couldn't bear to watch it anymore and lifted up the game.

“Is this the trolley problem?”

Liva, who always stood on a high place, looked at the group of people below.

Siren also looked at the peacock dance walking towards Yugi Muto from the stage, then turned around silently and left the city wall.

"What are you doing?"

Peacock Dance walked over and saw the gloves on Jonouchi's hands that were inlaid with star chips.

"Jounouchi, have you collected ten star chips yet?"

"Yes—but it's about to be halved."
