The card player needs to win easily

The corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.

"As a reward! Let me show you the final effect of the 'Winged Dragon of the Sun God'."

"Jounouchi—this will leave you burdened with the most painful suffering in the world, wandering in hell!"

“This smile…”

A chill ran through Jonouchi's body.

Being targeted by something - due to human... no, it's the instinct of being a living being.

A foreshadowing of death, a threat to survival.

sun.

"The effect of "Sun God's Winged Dragon" is activated!"

"I lose a thousand basic points. After that, I will burn all the monsters on your field!"

"All your monsters—all of them will be sent to the graveyard!"

"Send to the Graveyard... The third effect is to clear my board!"

Jonouchi swallowed.

But then he realized something was wrong.

"But, Malik! I'll also return your 'Apollo Winged Dragon' to my deck!"

"And your deck will make it almost impossible for you to kill the enemy the next time you draw a card, and you've already cleared out the graveyard resources yourself!"

"But, next turn, I can draw two cards, plus another card in the Graveyard that can be drawn from the 'Inner and Outer' card... In other words, if I can use these resources to clear your Life Points, I can win this Duel!"

"Hey, hey...did you forget?"

Dark Malik pointed at the Sun God on his field, who had already accumulated energy.

And... on Jonouchi's body, the line connecting to the "Dream Collapse Unicorn".

"This is a dark game...which means, poor mortal, you will directly suffer the wrath of the gods!"

"Look here... the phoenix leading to death is about to begin its dance!"

Duel City Part 1: Chapter 74 "Death in Jonouchi"

A pillar of fire shot up into the sky and went straight down.

It was exactly the same scene as when Lishid was defeated.

But this time, the impact was particularly strong.

The bewildered Jonouchi, at the moment when the flames fell, which were not at all like his imagination, realized the consequences of the Phoenix's dance.

A cry of despair, a cry so cruel and devastating that one would never want to hear again, reaching the limits of human endurance.

Before Jonouchi could realize it, his body shouted it out for him.

“—Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!”

Every inch of skin was burning.

The sensory assault never ceased, repeatedly stimulating Jonouchi's brain—and because the fire wasn't real, there wasn't even a chance for all of his senses to fail.

“Ughhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

"Hahahahaha! Burn it! Phoenix! Burn the source of his spirit!"

"Let him be trapped in the darkness of death forever, and drive away all his consciousness!"

Laughing wildly, grinning grimly.

Dark Malik's malice was revealed in the flames.

“Inside the city—Malik!!!”

"Ha! Pharaoh, just watch your friend die like this—hahahahahaha!"

The strong wind on the duel boat lifted up An Malik's cloak.

The thousand-year-old staff continues to emit light - representing the light of punishment for darkness.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

pain.

Muscle and bone are melting away.

Jonouchi could almost feel his own nerve cells falling off—

"Brother, if this continues, something might really go wrong in the city!"

Trojan Horse had already seen that something was wrong with this duel.

Such an impact is definitely not something that a virtual system can cause.

"Do not."

This duel cannot stop.

Haima has absolute confidence that the virtual imaging system it developed will not have any problems.

This is an almost completely independent operating system with no possibility of intrusion from the outside.

Pain perception must be controlled within the acceptable range for the human body.

(It allowed me to see the full effect of "Winged Dragon of the Sun God"... As a Duelist without a God Card, it barely met the standard.)

"No, if this continues, Jonouchi might actually die!"

Yami Yugi, fully aware of Yami Yugi, didn't mind Kaiba's inaction - in fact, if Kaiba did intervene, it wouldn't have made any difference.

The Dark Game cannot end unless one side wins.

However, this also means that Yami Yugi can only watch helplessly like this—

The projected flames raised clouds of dust.

The hoarse voices in the city gradually subsided.

His vocal cords couldn't hold up any longer.

"Ahh...ahhh..."

The sound was completely muffled in the smoke.

The flames falling from the sky gradually became smaller - but this process alone lasted for dozens of seconds.

"The pain of being burned directly by the sun is nothing more than this...it's pleasurable."

Yamalik put down the duel disk.

"That's enough, Sun God's Winged Dragon, please stop your anger."

The golden phoenix is reborn from the flames.

Then, it turned into a sphere and disappeared into the sky.

"The duel is over. He is dead."

"I can even see his soul floating into the sky with a wisp of white smoke—"

"Jounouchi isn't dead yet!"

Even though he refuted Yami Malik's conclusion, Yami Yugi's heart was filled with despair.

In this level of dark game, the probability of survival...

Almost zero.

"Damn it... this bastard."

Siren clenched her phone.

To be precise - these remaining things were what Jonouchi had exchanged for endless pain.

"Referee, please quickly declare this duel over—"

The smoke and dust cleared.

A figure wearing a blue and white striped shirt appeared... Jonouchi.

He was still standing.

Even as his skin cooled from its reddening color and gradually turned pale, he still stood.

"...!"

If you just look at him like this, anyone would question - is he really still conscious?

His head drooped, his hands hanging in front of him...but his fingers were still moving slightly.

"Within the city! Within the city!"

Yami Yugi desperately called out his best friend's name.

This seemed to have some effect... The originally trembling fingers gradually lifted up and placed on the duel disk.

“…He’s still alive?!”

This was confirmed again.

An Malik simply couldn't believe that there was such a person who could survive the wrath of God.

"..."

"..."

The scene was eerily silent.

Even Yugi, who was eager to know the current situation in Jonouchi, didn't dare to speak.

Finally, after a few long seconds, Jonouchi placed his hand back on the duel disk.

"…My turn is over."

“How is it possible, how is it possible—!”

Cold sweat broke out.
