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

[Jet Gauntlets/Armor: Attack Power 0]

[Active Protective Armor: Defense 1500]

Just as Baron was preparing to combine his armor, Yugi quickly opened the face-down card at that moment.

"At this very moment, the trap card [Dark Demon Resurrection Coffin] is activated!"

When your opponent successfully Normal or Special Summons a monster, you can target that monster and 1 Spellcaster monster you control; send those two monsters to the Graveyard. After that, you can Special Summon 1 DARK Spellcaster monster from your Deck or Graveyard.

"Nani!?"

Before Baron could react, a deep red coffin appeared, and then the coffin lid opened automatically.

"Absorb the Mage's Robe and the Big Bang Fist Armor!"

Two beams of energy shot out from the coffin to the sides, dragging them into the coffin.

"Rise, Dark Magician!"

As soon as the game finished speaking, the coffin lid reopened, and the figure of the Black Magician jumped out from inside.

[Dark Magician: Attack Power 2500]

Chapter 184 End of the Second Match

Seeing his most effective weapon removed, leaving him with only three pieces of armor, Baron's expression darkened; he was somewhat resentful.

"Damn it, I've been tricked!"

But he couldn't care less about that now.

"Phoenix Gravity!"

As soon as he finished shouting, three pieces of armor were successively placed on Baron's upper body.

After equipping himself, Baron continued to play his last remaining card, "It's not over yet, I'll activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] from my hand and Special Summon [Big Bang Armor] from my Graveyard!"

Just as the resurrection of the dead was about to take effect.

next moment.

boom!

The deceased suddenly exploded without warning.

"Nani!?"

Baron stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

At this moment, Yuuki took a card from the graveyard and explained, "When you activated [Monster Reborn], I activated the effect of the Trap Card [Magician's Guide] from the graveyard."

If you control a "Dark Magician," you can banish this card from your Graveyard and target 1 face-up Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls to activate this effect. Negate that card's effect until the end of the turn. This effect cannot be activated the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard.

The magician's guide: Got it!

The change came so suddenly that Baron was stunned and didn't know how to speak.

The game then continued, "And because Baron has zero cards in his hand, the attack power of [Heavenly Knight] is reduced by 1000 points."

[Celestial Gold Knight: Attack Power 2500 → 1500]

"Okay, you can continue."

The game player gestured to the other player, indicating that the other player should continue.

“Oh, oh…”

Baron Ba finally came to his senses, and Qi hurriedly asked Lu, "Lu, by the way, when did [Magician's Guide] go to the graveyard? I don't remember you ever using this trap card?"

"Yes, I only have one chance to send a trap card to the graveyard."

Baron thought for a moment, then suddenly had a look of realization on his face, "It was around that time..."

Following the other person's words, the game continued, "When I activated the effect of [Magician's Robe] to summon [Dark Magician], I discarded a Spell Card or Trap Card at that time, and [Magician's Guiding Array] was the card that was placed in the graveyard at that time."

Baron: "Hiss... Game, you actually thought that far ahead, saving the card for a crucial moment to deliver the fatal blow..."

Then he changed the subject, "But even though my spell card was negated, I was still able to activate the effect of Armored Monster."

"Can you stop my attack now?"

As he spoke, he raised his right fist, preparing to attack.

"Battle begins! I'm attacking with [Explosive Heart-Piercing Armor]..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Yugi took another card from the graveyard. "Baron, have you forgotten that I have other cards in my graveyard?"

"During the opponent's battle phase, this battle phase ends by removing the [Super Electromagnetic Turtle] from the graveyard!"

The defensive card was prepared to prevent Baron from attacking his body at close range. The game is only being used now, since it's almost over anyway, so there's no point in not using it.

Baron, who was suddenly interrupted, froze in his punching motion.

"..."

He did forget, because he had kept the game unused and overlooked it.

He had no choice but to lower his right hand. "Then my turn is over."

Although he could only end his turn, he still said defiantly, "Don't be so smug. With the special effect of [Active Protective Armor], even if you activate the effect of [Celestial Knight] and destroy all my armored monsters, I won't take any damage."

"The listed Vadokana!"

"Nani!?"

Seeing Baron echo the game's lines, Yuuki shook his head slightly, thinking, "When AIBO said those words, it meant that the victory of the duel already belonged to AIBO."

"Moreover, AIBO already has the conditions to guarantee victory..."

As Wang Yang was thinking this, the game had already drawn a card from the deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→4]

Without even glancing at the card drawn, the player immediately picked up another card from their hand and held it high.

"I activate the spell card 'Eye of Timaeus' from my hand!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→3]

Roar--!

With a roar, a giant, dark green dragon appeared, and another legendary dragon materialized.

"There's a second legendary dragon!?"

Looking at the giant dragon, Baron felt uneasy.

The game continues, "Using the effect of [Eye of Timaeus], ​​a [Dark Magician] monster can be directly fused and summoned."

"Merge, Timaeus, Dark Magician!"

The moment the game's sound ended, the figures of the dragon and the black magician overlapped, forming a fusion vortex that emitted a powerful light.

"Show yourself, [Super Magic Warrior - Chaos Ruler]!"

As the light faded, a mage warrior wearing the armor of a Chaos Warrior and a large cloak emerged from the light.

【Super Magic Warrior - Chaos Ruler: Attack Power 3000】

As soon as the warrior appeared, Yugi waved his arm and shouted, "The special effect of the [Super Magician Warrior - Chaos Controller] summoned through Fusion Summoning is activated!"

Special Summon a LIGHT or DARK monster from your Graveyard.

"Rise again, [Dark Magician]!"

Om-!

As the light flashed, the Black Magician was projected out once more.

[Dark Magician: Attack Power 2500]

"Now I have both Light and Dark attribute monsters on my field..."

Hearing the game's words, Baron became increasingly uneasy.

Just then, Yugi pointed at the Magic Warrior and continued, "I activate another special ability of [Super Magic Warrior - Chaos Ruler], by sacrificing one LIGHT and one DARK monster on my field to banish all monsters on my opponent's field."

"What did you say!?"

Although Baron's eyes were covered by his helmet, the game still allowed players to vaguely see his panicked expression.

"By destroying the effect, you can indeed activate the [Active Protective Armor] effect, making you immune to all damage."

"Then I won't destroy it, I'll just eliminate it directly."

"..."

At this point, Baron realized that he had been completely defeated.

"Offering the Light-attribute [Celestial Golden Knight] and the Dark-attribute [Black Magician] as sacrifices, [Super Magician Warrior - Chaos Controller] attacks Baron!"

As soon as the game finished speaking, the two monsters transformed into light and dark energy and poured it into the Chaos Blade of the Super Magician Warrior.

Then, he swung his sword, and a stream of chaotic light shot towards Balong.

boom--! !

Baron and his armor were submerged.

[Balong: LP1300→0]

Chapter 185 Katsuya Jonouchi VS Tenma Yako

After the light faded, Baron's figure reappeared, and it could be seen that he was no longer covered by armor.

"Ha... I've lost..."

Baron's expression showed no sign of defeat; he looked quite relaxed.

"A fine duel, Baron."

"Ok!"

"But I really wanted to duel Jonouchi, it's just a bit of a shame."

Baron prefers fighting Jonouchi to Yugi, since both of them are straightforward people.

Jonouchi will respond to Baron's fighting spirit and play cards (fight) with him, unlike in the game where he is kept at bay throughout the entire match.

Thinking back to his last battle with Jonouchi, Baron felt his blood boil. It was just a pity that he was eliminated from the game early and didn't get to meet Jonouchi here.

Having already lost, he decided not to stay any longer and get in the way, so he simply slipped away.

"I'm leaving, Yugi. Please say goodbye to Jonouchi for me. I'll fight him again next time I have the chance."

He waved his hand, turned around, and left amidst the applause of the audience.

"Oh well."

After watching Baron leave, Yu also turned and left, returning to the lounge.

......

"Yosh! It's my turn next!"

Jonouchi's voice echoed in the lounge.

"Good luck, Jonouchi-kun."

The second match in the quarterfinals will be Jonouchi's game.

"Oh! Leave it to me!"

After responding to their encouragement during the game, Jonouchi left the lounge.

He ran into his opponent in the corridor.

"Your name is Tianma Yexing, right?"

"Um!?"

The man in the purple coat, with long green hair and sharp eyes, turned around to look at Jonouchi behind him and the group of gamers watching from behind.

"Let's have a good duel."
