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

When Tianma Yexing asked this question, he finally came to his senses.

So Jonouchi ignored what the other person said, closed his eyes, and placed his fingers on the deck.

"I'm betting on this card!"

He suddenly opened his eyes and forcefully pulled out the card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 3→4]

He looked at the card and his eyes lit up immediately. "It's here!"

"Hmm? This reaction, could it be...?"

Seeing the expression on Jonouchi's face after drawing the card, Yagyou suddenly realized something.

The next moment, Jonouchi grabbed the card with his right hand and then grabbed another card from his hand, raising it high.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Hermo's Claw' from my hand!"

"Merge the Spellcaster monster [Time Magician] in your hand with the Legendary Dragon to create a brand new Equip Card."

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 4→2]

Roar--! !

With a roar, a brown dragon appeared in the sky, along with the Time Magician.

Immediately afterwards, their figures overlapped and merged into one, forming a vortex.

"Appear, [Time Magic Hammer]!"

The moment the sound faded, the center of the fusion released a blinding golden light, and a golden hammer appeared.

The hammer's head is shaped like a clock, with a pair of tiny wings floating on it, constantly flapping, making it look as ridiculous as a toy hammer.

However, Nightwalker dared not underestimate it. He had heard of the legendary dragon from Pegasus, and the fact that only the chosen duelist could use such a rare card was enough to warrant his attention.

If we're talking about cards that can defeat evil gods, these monsters summoned by legendary dragons are definitely among them.

Before anyone knew it, the Phoenix Sword Saint had already sheathed his greatsword.

Jonouchi then pointed forward and said, "Using the special effect of the [Time Magic Hammer], equip yourself as an equipment card to Phoenix Sword Saint."

Phoenix Sword Saint took the hammer with his free right hand.

[Phoenix Sword Saint Kia Fried: Attack Power 1400]

Although the attack power remained unchanged, it was enough for Jonouchi.

"Then I summoned the Gemini Monster [Phoenix Sword Saint Gia Freed] again, turning it into an Effect Monster and gaining its effect."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flames on Phoenix Sword Saint's body burned even more fiercely.

He then inserted his third card into the Duel Disk and said, "It's not over yet. I'll equip the Warrior monster with the Equip Spell 'Strongest Shield' from my hand."

The following effects apply to the equipped monster's display form. II.

●Attack Statement: The equipped monster's ATK increases by that original DEF value. (Old)

●Defense indicator: The equipped monster's Defense is increased by that original Attack value.

"The Phoenix Sword Saint has 2200 DEF. With the effect of the Equip Card, this monster's ATK will increase by that amount."

"However, under the influence of the [Source of Fear from the Evil God], the upgrade effect of equipment is halved, so the Phoenix Sword Saint's actual attack power only increases by 1100 points."

[Phoenix Sword Saint Kia Fried: Attack Power 1400 → 2500]

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 2→1]

At this moment, Yagami continued, "It's not just that. Since Mr. Jonouchi has two more cards on the field, the attack power of [Evil God Annihilator] also needs to be increased to 2500 points."

[Evil God Destroyer: Attack Power 1500 → 2500]

"In this way, the Phoenix Sword Saint's attack power will only be exactly the same as the Annihilator's attack power; at most, they will perish together."

That being said, what Nightwalker was actually more worried about was the effect of the equipment born from the power of the legendary dragon.

The fact that equipping the hammer didn't increase attack power indicates that the equipment card hides a very troublesome, unknown effect.

Soon, Jonouchi, having made ample preparations, launched his attack. "Go! [Phoenix Sword Saint Gia Fried], attack [Evil God Annihilator]! Time Magic Hammer!"

Under his command, the Phoenix Sword Saint leaped high into the air, transforming into a fiery phoenix, and soared through the sky, raising his hammer as if to strike the evil dragon.

Seeing this, Ye Xing quickly flipped open the face-down card and shouted, "Open the face-down card, activate the trap card [Hate Bomb]!"

When one of your Fiend-Type monsters is targeted for an attack, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 Attacker Monster and the targeted monster. Destroy both the Attacker Monster and the targeted monster, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed Attacker Monster's original ATK.

If this passes, the castle will be utterly defeated.

But the next second.

Boom!

Two crisp sounds suddenly rang out.

"Nani!?"

The sudden change left Ye Xing stunned.

Because the trap card that had just been activated was destroyed before it could take effect.

At this moment, Jonouchi explained, "The special ability of [Phoenix Sword Saint Gia Fried] has been activated!"

When a Spell/Trap Card targeting a monster on the field is activated, you can send 1 face-up Equip Card you control to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it.

"I sent the equipment card [Strongest Shield] to the graveyard to negate [Hate Bomb]."

As he said this, Nightwalker noticed that his backcourt equipment was gone.

"But in this way, the Annihilator's attack power surpasses that of the Phoenix Sword Saint."

[Phoenix Sword Saint Kia Fried: Attack Power 2500 → 1400]

[Evil God Destroyer: Attack Power 2500 → 2000]

"Fight back against it, Annihilator!"

However, at this moment, the evil dragon did not respond to Nightwalker's commands at all.

"...The Annihilator?"

While he was still wondering, the Phoenix Sword Saint's hammer finally fell.

Strangely, the hammer didn't hit the evil dragon, but instead smashed down on the ground.

boom--!

After the hammer struck the ground, a strange, enormous hole appeared centered on the point of impact.

Chapter 192

"This is......"

Tianma Yexing stared in astonishment at the strange cave before him.

The next second, a ball of light floated out of the cave and hit the evil dragon on the head.

Then a glowing number appeared above his head—

— “3”.

Ye Xing: "???"

What is that number?

This inexplicable situation left him completely baffled.

Just then, Jonouchi continued, "When the Phoenix Sword Saint is fighting, the special ability of the Time Magic Hammer is activated!"

You can activate this effect at the start of the Damage Step when a monster equipped to this card battles an opponent's monster using this card's effect. Roll 1 die. That opponent's monster is banished until the Standby Phase following the number of turns that rolled.

"That number represents the value of the dice roll. For the next three rounds, [Evil God Annihilator] will be temporarily excluded from the game."

"Large breasts!?"

Before Ye Xing could react, the void in the field suddenly erupted with a powerful suction force.

Roar--! !

The evil dragon, drawn by the numbers, was uncontrollably sucked into the void.

"The eraser was..."

Soon, the enormous body of the evil dragon disappeared into the cave before his very eyes.

After finishing, Jonouchi inserted his last card into the Duel Disk, saying, "I'll set one more card face down, end of turn."

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 1→0]

Jonouchi: "Hoo~~!"

He finally turned the situation around and breathed a sigh of relief.

The next tense part is traveling at night.

Staring at the Time Hammer in the Phoenix Sword Saint's hand, Nightwalker felt unprecedented pressure.

"As expected of a legendary dragon, its power easily changed the situation."

"But I won't give up now..."

As he spoke, he immediately drew a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Pegasus Night Walk Cards: 0 → 1]

After glancing at his hand, Ye Xing's lips involuntarily curled into a smile. "Alright, this card..."

Seeing Ye Xing's expression, Jonouchi immediately reacted, "Oops! You can't use that card..."

As he spoke, he quickly tapped the card on the floor.

"Open the face-down card, the Trap Card [Knock Off] is activated!"

This effect is activated during the opponent's Draw Phase. One card drawn by the opponent during their Draw Phase is discarded and sent to the Graveyard.

"Nani!?"

Nightwalker, who had just been tricked, shuddered, his hand trembling, and the card almost slipped from his grasp.

Night Walker: Holy crap!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

The city has resorted to such underhanded tactics, which will only delay the outcome of the battle.

Night Walk reluctantly put the Quick-Play Spell card, whose artwork depicted eight arrows shooting at the card, into the Graveyard.

[Pegasus Night Walk Cards: 1 → 0]

"What a pity. If this [Demon-Sealing Arrow] hadn't been destroyed, I could have won by now..."

This card can seal Spell and Trap effects for one turn, but it can only be activated at the start of the Battle Phase, so it's a real shame that Jonouchi had to destroy it.

At that moment, Jonouchi grinned and said, "Hehe~, I won't let you reverse the advantage I finally gained..."

Looking at the other person's bright smile, Ye Xing felt a little heartbroken, but the duel had to continue.

After regaining his composure, he immediately waved his hand and commanded, "Go! [Source of Evil God's Fear], attack [Sheep Derivative], terrifying kill!"

The terrifying giant swung its massive fist again, striking a small sheep.

boom--! !

The divine fist instantly shattered a sheep.

After the terrifying giant retracted its arm, Nightwalker declared that his turn was over.

Then Jonouchi couldn't wait to draw a card from his deck.

"Finally, it's my turn to fight back..."

"My turn, draw a card!"
