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

Dark Bakura never expected the game to start so casually.

At the game's command, the female swordsman raised her blue longsword and slashed at the card on the Dark Baku field.

Seeing this, the latter quickly waved his hand and shouted, "Now! Activate the effect of the field spell [Dark Sanctuary]!"

Activate when the opponent's monster declares an attack. Flip a coin once. If the coin is on the table, negate the attack and inflict damage to the opponent's monster equal to half of that monster's ATK.

The Silent Magician's weapon had to remain temporarily above the card, awaiting the outcome of its effect.

Ding--!

A coin was tossed out and fell quickly.

Finally, the side that was revealed was—the inside.

Dark Baku clicked his tongue. "Tsk, what a lucky guy..."

So the Silent Magic Swordsman raised his longsword again, ready to strike.

At the same time, the face-down card was flipped over, revealing the monster's appearance.

It was a yellowish-green, humanoid demonic insect with two horns on its head.

[Mimicry Man-Eating Insect: Defense 600]

Clang——! !

The man-eating insects that had just appeared immediately blocked the longsword with their claws.

【Muto Games: LP4000→3900】

Dark Bakura looked displeased. "I didn't expect to waste the effect so soon..."

"At this moment, the special effect of the forced reversal of the [Mimicry Man-Eating Insect] activates!"

If this card is flipped face-up, target 1 monster on the field. If that monster is destroyed, this card gains ATK equal to that monster's original ATK. After that, you can change this card's Type to the same as the destroyed monster's original Type.

"The monster to be destroyed is, of course, the [Silent Magic Swordsman]."

No sooner had the words left her mouth than the man-eating insect snatched the sword from the female swordsman's hand and swung it back at her.

boom--!

The Silent Magic Swordsman was instantly killed, and after absorbing her power, a pair of white wings mimicked the back of the man-eating worm.

[Mimicry Man-Eating Insect: Attack Power 450→950, Insect Race→Angel Race]

Seeing this, Dark Bakura said with great dissatisfaction, "Tch, what pathetic stats..."

There's nothing we can do about it. The game knows the effects too well and has already anticipated this, so they deliberately use monsters with low attack power to achieve the desired effect.

At that moment, the game announced loudly: "The moment [Silent Magic Swordsman] is destroyed, another special effect of its activates!"

If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or an opponent's card effect, you can target 1 LIGHT [LV] monster in your Graveyard; add that monster to your hand.

"The monster that returned to my hand is, of course, [Silent Swordsman LV3]."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→5]

Jonouchi: "As expected of a game, you saw through Bakura's trap at a glance and even turned the tables on the enemy monster's effect."

Dark Bakura said coldly, "Even if the reversal effect of [Mimicry Man-Eating Insect] is wasted, it won't be so easy for you, Yugi, to defeat this monster."

"Because the [Mimicry Man-Eating Insect] has another effect..."

This card on the field cannot be destroyed by battle or by the effects of monsters of the same type as this card.

The game shrugged, indicating that it didn't matter.

After all, he specifically used angelic monsters to exchange for the effect, so he wasn't afraid of such resistance.

It simply means it won't be destroyed by the effects of Fairy-Type monsters, which is completely irrelevant to Yugi's deck, which doesn't have many Fairy-Type monsters.

So he inserted the two cards from his hand into the duel disk without any psychological pressure.

"Finally, I'll set two more cards face down, and the turn ends."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→3]

The game also ended its turn very quickly.

Dark Bakura sneered, "Hmph~, what a passive way to play..."

The next second, he pressed the button to cover the card.

"Then, during your end phase, open your face-down card and activate the Continuous Trap [Spirit Disk]!"

As the card was opened, a board with letters on it appeared on the field, with a pointer held in hand on it.

Then the indicator moved slightly and selected the first letter – “D”.

A ghost then appeared, and the will-o'-the-wisp below displayed the letter "D".

"And at the end of each opponent's turn, place one [Death Message] from your hand or deck onto the field."

"Using the effect of [Spirit Disk], I place [Death Message "E"] from my deck onto the field."

As soon as Dark Bakura inserted the card into the Duel Disk, the indicator moved again, placing it above the letter "E," which then appeared to the right of the letter "D."

At this point, the game's turn is completely over.

Yamibakura grinned, "Now it's my turn!"

I caught a chill and have a bit of a cold.

Chapter 227

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 3 → 4]

After glancing at his hand, Dark Bakura first placed another card onto the Duel Disk. "Let's go! I summon [Dead Knight] in Attack Position!"

After a flash of light, the Ghost Rider riding a black horse appeared.

[Necromancer Knight: Attack Power 1900]

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 4 → 3]

Then, with a wave of his arm, he shouted, "[Death Knight] Attack the defending monster!"

The Death Knight charged forward on his black horse, wielding his longsword and slicing the macaron marshmallow in two.

The game quickly said, "At this moment, the special effect of [Macaron Marshmallow] activates, splitting it into two!"

"Hmph, useless. [Death Knight] special ability activated!"

When a monster's effect is activated, you can Tribute this card to activate it. Negate that activation and destroy it.

The Death Knight, who hadn't left yet, swung his sword again.

Bang Bang Bang!

This sword completely shattered the two unformed macaron-shaped marshmallows, and then exploded itself.

After finishing, Dark Bakura inserted another card into the Duel Disk.

"Cover a card and the turn ends."

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 3 → 2]

Dark Bakura ended his turn without any hesitation.

"It's my turn again, time to draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→4]

The game begins by placing down the card you just drew, and then revealing one card from your hand.

"I summon [Silent Swordsman LV3] from my hand in attack position."

Om-! !

The moment the card was slammed onto the Duel Disk, a flash of light appeared, and a smaller version of the Silent Swordsman was projected.

[Silent Swordsman LV3: Attack Power 1000]

He then removed that card, replaced it with another card, and said, "And by offering a Warrior-Type monster on the field as a tribute, I Special Summon 'Silent Swordsman' from my hand."

Thus, the low-level Silent Swordsman suddenly grew into an adult form.

[Silent Swordsman: Attack Power 1000]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→2]

"That concludes my turn."

The game rounds end much faster.

Seeing this, Dark Baku sneered, "Hey, game! Are you already helpless?"

"If you don't quickly deal with my [Summoning Disc] on the field, you're doomed to lose this duel."

"The effect of [Spirit Disk] is activated, placing [Death Message] on the field."

"And at this very moment, according to the effect of the area magic [Dark Sanctuary]..."

If the effect of your [Spirit Disk] causes the [Death Message] card to appear, you can Special Summon that card as a Normal Monster (Fiend/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0). Cards Special Summoned by this effect are not affected by the effects of cards other than [Spirit Disk], and cannot be targeted for attacks (attacks from your opponent become direct attacks against you only if you control a monster affected by this effect).

"I summon [Death Message "A"] as a monster!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the indicator on the psychic compass moved again, preparing to point to the letter "A".

However, just as the indicator was about to be selected, it suddenly froze and remained motionless.

Seeing this, Dark Bakura's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "What?!?"

As if struck by a thought, Dark Bakura quickly looked across at the other side.

really......

Before anyone knew it, a face-down card had been revealed on the field.

He pointed to the trap card beside him and explained, "I'm sorry, Bakura. The moment you activated [Summoning Disc], I activated the Continuous Trap [Royal Announcement]."

"Announcing the effect of this card negates all Trap Cards on the field except for the user, therefore the effect of [Spirit Disk] cannot be activated."

Upon hearing this, Dark Bakura couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Tch, annoying move..."

Clearly, this is one of the cards targeted by the game.

Jonouchi exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Game! In that case, Bakura won't be able to collect all the [Information of Death] in a short time!"

At this moment, Yamibakura angrily drew out a card.

Do you think that kind of tactic will work on me?

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 2 → 3]

Before 8 could even check the card, the game suddenly announced loudly: "Each time during the preparation phase for both players, the special effect of [Silent Swordsman] is activated, increasing its own attack power by 500 points."

5. [Silent Swordsman: Attack Power 1000 → 1500]

7 Dark Bakura muttered, "The [Silent Swordsman] can automatically strengthen itself every turn, what a troublesome monster..."

Liu looked at his hand for this turn and then inserted it into the Duel Disk without hesitation.

6. "Then I'll start by activating the quick-play spell [Whirlwind] from my hand to destroy [Royal Announcement] on the field!"

[Dark Baku Ryo Hand Cards: 3 → 2]

As soon as the card was revealed, a tornado suddenly swept across the field, heading straight for the game.

Seeing this, Yugi quickly waved his hand and shouted, "I won't let you succeed! [Silent Swordsman] activates another ability!"

"Once per turn, negate the activation of a Spell Card."

Dark Baku's pupils trembled. "Such large sacs?!"

The Silent Swordsman swung his greatsword and cleaved the tornado in two with a single strike.

His plans have now completely fallen through.
