The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

The next moment, the chosen card was suddenly flipped open.

A monster card appeared in Pegasus's eyes, and then the cartoon harpy girl instantly kicked the card.

boom!

Pegasus stared in disbelief at the scene before him. "How could it be a monster card? Why?"

Seeing the other person's surprised expression, Yuqi burst out laughing. "Heh, the way I shifted my gaze earlier was just an act to make you focus your attention on this card."

"This monster card, Toy Magician, can be used as a Spell Card, moving it face-down from your hand to the Spell & Trap Zone. And during the turn this face-down monster is destroyed by your opponent's card and sent to the Graveyard, it is Special Summoned to your field during the End Phase."

I was on guard against the opponent's cartoon harpy girl from the very beginning of the game.

He then pressed the button on the duel disk and said, "It's not over yet, this card is my counter card..."

"Activate the face-down card, the Continuous Trap [Soul Barrier]! As long as I control a monster, I will not take damage from battle!"

Pegasus: ......

This tactical mindset is so dirty!

Young people don't play cards ethically! Come on, try to cheat! Come on, try to ambush me, a 24-year-old veteran player!

His face instantly contorted with pain. "Unbelievable! I never expected to fall for such a trick. Your dueling style is so different from that of the other gamer."

Pegasus would rather play cards with Wang Yang than engage in scheming and backstabbing in a game.

"But, I am not without ways to break through."

After calming down a bit, he inserted another card into the duel disk.

"I activate the Spell Card [Preparation for the Ritual] from my hand."

Choose 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck, and then choose 1 Ritual Monster from your Deck or Graveyard whose name is listed on that Ritual Spell Card. Add those 2 cards to your hand.

[Pegasus J. Crawford's hand: 3 → 2]

"I added the Ritual Spell 'Ritual of Illusion' and its corresponding Ritual Monster 'Ritual Monster' from my deck to my hand."

Seeing Pegasus retrieve the two cards that had left a deep impression on Yugi, he couldn't help but warn Yugi with concern: "The Demon of Sacrifice, a monster with the powerful ability to absorb the opponent's monsters. Be careful, AIBO!"

"Ah."

Then they heard the other side say, "【Cartoon Harpie】cannot attack during the turn she enters the field, therefore I activate this Ritual Spell 【Ritual of Illusion】 and offer 【Cartoon Harpie】 as a sacrifice."

The moment the words were spoken, a golden pot engraved with the Eye of Horus appeared on the field.

Then a powerful suction force pulled the cartoon harpy girl inside.

"Summon the fantasy monster, [The Demon of Sacrifice]!"

The golden pot transformed into a legless, alien demon with the Eye of Horus, its wings resembling shields unfurling behind it. Its lower body seemed to throb with a heart, but it was empty, as if its heart had been ripped out.

[Demon of Sacrifice: Attack Power 0]

"Game boy~, let's recall the power of the [Sacrifice Demon] one more time. The [Sacrifice Demon's] special ability, Dark Eye Magic activated!"

Once per turn, you can target 1 monster your opponent controls; equip that monster to this card as an Equip Card (only 1 monster can be equipped to this card).

Pegasus pointed at the blue knight, "Absorb the [Guard Knight]!"

At this moment, you can see the eyes of the Demon of Sacrifice shining an evil light on the knight. At the same time, a powerful suction force suddenly arises from the opening in its lower body, and the guard knight is uncontrollably sucked in. Then the wings of the Demon of Sacrifice close, turning into a shield to protect its body, and the knight's figure is embedded in the wings.

[Demon of Sacrifice: Attack 0 → 1900, Defense 0 → 1000]

"The ATK of [Sacrifice Demon] becomes the ATK of the monsters equipped to this card by its effect. In this way, all of You's monsters will be destroyed by me this turn."

So he waved his hand and said, "[Sacrifice Demon], attack [King's Knight]!"

The demon's exposed eyeballs instantly emitted a beam of evil light that struck the king's knight.

boom--!

"[King's Knight] Destroyed!"

"But because of the effect of the [Soul Barrier], I am not harmed."

Then Yugi pressed the face-down button again and shouted, "Then at this very moment, I activate the Trap Card [Magic Hat]!"

This effect can only be activated during your opponent's Battle Phase. Select 2 Spell/Trap Cards from your Deck. Treat those 2 cards as Normal Monsters (0 ATK/0 DEF), shuffle them together with 1 monster from your Main Monster Zone, and set them face-down in Defense Position. Cards Special Summoned from your Deck by this effect cannot exist outside of the Battle Phase and are destroyed at the end of the Battle Phase.

"Oh no! It's this card that I've been ripped off with before!?"

Although the game uses the latest version of the effects, it still caused Pegasus some trouble.

The game quickly shuffles the two selected cards and the monster together, placing the three cards in a row on the Duel Disk.

A huge top hat covered the Queen and the Knight, and then in the blink of an eye, the top hat transformed into three.

"Alright, choose now, Pegasus. Without the Millennium Item, you can only guess one."

This time, I didn't reveal any weaknesses to my opponent.

"Another one-in-three chance..."

Bekas was a little troubled, so he just pointed randomly.

"【Demon of Sacrifice】Attack the one wearing the middle hat..."

As soon as he gave the order to attack, the demon of sacrifice unleashed a beam of evil light from its exposed eyeballs, aiming at the top hat in the center.

boom--!

The top hat was instantly shattered, but the monster was not inside.

"I'm sorry, Pegasus. Your attack was ineffective, so your battle is over."

"And at this very moment, the effect of the Trap Card 'Magician's Protection,' which was sent to the Graveyard by the effect of 'Magician's Hat,' activates, Special Summoning the Spellcaster-Type monster 'Dark Magician' from the Graveyard!"

As soon as the game was finished, the remaining two top hats disappeared, revealing a face-down card and a Dark Magician on the field.

[Dark Magician: Attack Power 2500]

"Beautiful~, what a perfect combination!"

"Let my turn end here."

At the same time, a miniature magician appears in the game arena.

[Toy Magician: Attack Power 1600]

Chapter 162 The Miracle of the Magic Gate

After Toy Magician appears, Yugi says, "During your End Phase, you destroyed the Special Summon of Toy Magician on my field."

"At the same time, I activate the effect of the Trap Card [Wild Card] from the Graveyard."

During your or your opponent's End Phase, you can target 1 Warrior-Type LIGHT monster in your Graveyard; return that monster to your Deck, and add this card from your Graveyard to your hand.

Pegasus, with a serious expression, said to the game, "Another card obtained through the effect of [Magic Hat]!?"

"Yes, so I sent [King Knight] back to the deck and recycled [Ace Wild Card]."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 0→1]

After that, the next round of the game begins.

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 1→2]

After a quick glance at the card, he inserted it into the Duel Disk without hesitation. "Activate the Spell Card [Miracle Magic Gate]!"

This effect can only be activated if you control 2 or more Spellcaster monsters. Select 1 Attack Position monster your opponent controls and change it to Defense Position. Then, gain control of that monster. A monster gained control by this effect cannot be destroyed by battle.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→1]

Two gates appeared on the field, and then a pair of hands reached out from the gate in front of Pegasus.

Pegasus then exaggeratedly clutched his head, exclaiming, "No! You're cruelly taking away my adorable monster!"

"But~, as long as [Toon Kingdom] exists on the field, your Toon monsters cannot be targeted by your opponent's effects~, you can only choose [Sacrifice Demon]~!"

Watching the other party's performance, Yuqi gently shook his head and denied, "Solvador Kana!"

"Why?"

The game then said to him, "I'm sorry, the effect of [Miracle Magic Gate] is not targeted, so [Cartoon Kingdom] cannot protect your monster."

Wang Yang would definitely understand the game analogy, since the former had taught him.

But Pegasus, this old-fashioned man, didn't quite understand what he meant. "What? Why aren't you looking for a partner?"

Since the other party didn't understand, the game explained it to him briefly: "Since [Miracle Magic Gate] does not require selecting a monster to activate, the 'select' action is an effect processing, not an activation condition, so its effect is an effect that does not target."

"So there's such a difference? I've learned something new!"

"In this way, I can use the effect of [Miracle Magic Gate] to change [Cartoon Dark Magician] to Defense Position and take control of it."

In an instant, the hand inside the magic door grabbed the cartoon dark magician and dragged him inside, and the monster passed through the door and arrived in front of the game.

[Cartoon Dark Magician: Defense 2100]

After removing the cartoon Dark Magician, Pegasus no longer has any space to hinder his game.

So after flipping the face-down cards on the Duel Disk, the game immediately launches an attack.

[Queen's Knight: Attack Power 1500]

He waved his arm and shouted, "Battle begins! [Dark Magician] Attack [Sacrificial Demon]! Dark Magician!"

The dark magician then flung his wand away, launching a jet of dark magical energy.

The next moment, Pegasus hurriedly shouted, "Shield of Sacrifice!"

The black magician's attack struck the guard knight who was embedded in the sacrificial demon.

boom--!

The guard knight, who served as a shield, then exploded.

[Demon of Sacrifice: Attack 1900 → 0, Defense 1000 → 0]

[Beccas J. Crawford: LP4000→3400]

"By using the ability of Sacrifice Shield, the Guardian Knight equipped with this card's effect becomes immune to the battle destruction of Sacrifice Demon."

"And when you take damage due to the [Demon of Sacrifice] in battle, it will deal the same amount of effect damage to You."

【Muto Games: LP4000→3400】

Listening to Pegasus's four words, Yugi didn't care at all. "But the effects of [Sanma of the Sanma Festival] are no longer applicable after it no longer has a monster as an Equip Card."

"Therefore, I will continue to attack the Sacrifice Demon with the Toy Magician!"

The toy magician then waved his cane, and a beam of light shot towards the other side.

boom--!

Under the light, the sacrificial demon was instantly pierced and shattered.

[Beccas J. Crawford: LP3400→1800]

"Beautiful, AIBO! After one more hit, Pegasus's health will be as fragile as a candle in the wind!"

Everyone says the commentators are dead, so it's not good for Wang Yang to make such random predictions.

Before the game could even issue the attack command.

The next instant, Pegasus slammed a card onto the duel disk.

"No way~, I won't let you continue attacking, Game Boy!"

"The moment [Sacrifice Demon] is destroyed, I Special Summon [Faceless Illusion Magician] from my hand in Defense Position."

This effect can be activated if this card is in your hand or Graveyard, and a face-up "Eye of the Reaper" Fusion Monster or "Reaper of the Reaper" on your field is destroyed by battle or effect. Special Summon this card.

Om-!

A strange magician without a face appeared in front of Pegasus. It could be seen that the magician had three heads, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the heads of two puppets were actually attached to its shoulders.
