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

The light blade sliced ​​through the spirit disk and was instantly severed, and the will-o'-the-wisp displaying the two letters also dissipated.

Dark Bakura clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Tch! Another effect of the [Summoning Disc] is that when you or any [Death Message] leaves the field, the [Summoning Disc] and the [Death Message] are both sent to the Graveyard."

At the same time, after the magic warrior consumed the magic indicator, the light on the sword also dissipated.

[Magic Warrior Destroyer: Magic Counter 1→0, Attack Power 1900→1600]

"Finally, I'll set one more card face down, and the turn ends."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→3]

Since the Silent Swordsman LV7's attack power is insufficient to destroy the opponent's monsters, and its effect seals all spell cards on the field.

If the game cannot launch an attack in this turn, then the turn must be ended.

Seeing that he so decisively announced the end, Yami Bakura didn't hold back.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 0 → 1]

After drawing the cards, Dark Bakura first took three cards from the graveyard.

He said with a sneer, "I'll activate the other effect of the Spell Card [Dark Mysticism] from the Graveyard first."

You can activate this effect by banishing this card from your Graveyard. Choose any number (maximum 1 of each of the same name) of "Spirit Disk" and "Death Message" cards from your hand and Graveyard and return them to the bottom of your Deck in any order. Then, draw the number of cards you returned from your Deck. This effect cannot be activated the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard.

"Add the [Spirit Disk] and [Death Message "E"] from your Graveyard to your Deck, then draw two more cards."

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 1 → 3]

Immediately afterwards, Dark Bakura pressed the button on the Duel Disk and shouted, "I'm opening the face-down card again, activating the Trap Card [Heaven and Earth Reversal]!"

Add the bottom card of your deck to your hand. Then, choose 1 card from your deck and place it at the bottom of your deck.

Upon hearing this, Game raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

This was a truly unusual effect; it was the first time he had ever heard of such a card.

At this moment, Jonouchi worriedly said, "Oh no, the one at the bottom of the deck must be the [Summoning Disc] that was taken back by [Dark Mysticism]."

Anzu: "I finally managed to destroy this card, and now it's being recycled again?"

Dark Bakura laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! You're right. I'm now using the effect of [Heaven and Earth Reversal] to add the card [Spirit Disk], which is at the bottom of the deck, to my hand."

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 3 → 4]

The subsequent effects of Heaven and Earth Return were not very important, so he casually placed a useless card from his deck at the bottom of the deck.

After that, he placed a card from his hand onto the duel disk, saying, "I summon [Evil Spirit of Annihilation] in Attack Position."

Suddenly, a ghostly aura appeared on Dark Bakura's field, and a demonic spirit appeared, holding a scimitar and gripping a shield.

【Evil Spirit of Annihilation: Attack Power 1600】

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 4 → 3]

"Change [Dark Doll Nicolofia] to attack stance..."

[Dark Doll Nicolofia: Attack Power 2200]

After doing all that, he waved his arm and commanded, "Go! First, use [Evil Spirit of Annihilation] to attack [Magic Warrior Destroyer]!"

The evil spirit floated in front of the magic warrior and swung its sword.

boom--!

The latter was instantly cleaved in two.

"Then, [Cursed Doll Nicolopia] attacks [Silent Swordsman LV7], using Nen Eye Kill!"

The cursed doll's eyes once again emitted an evil light as it struck the Silent Swordsman.

At the same moment, the game's expression turned serious as it shouted, "Fight back, [Silent Swordsman LV7]!"

The Silent Swordsman also swung his sword, the sword energy slashing in the opposite direction of the opponent's attack.

Bang bang—!

The two monsters perished together.

Seeing this, Dark Bakura chuckled and said, "Heh, in this way, Yugi, you won't have any monsters on your field."

"The battle continues. [Dark Doll Nicolofia] attacks you directly with Nen Eye Kill!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another doll's eyes also emitted an evil light, shooting towards the game.

"Uh......"

【Muto Games: LP3900→1700】

""game!""

The two people behind him changed their expressions drastically.

"Hmph, what's wrong? Is this all there is to the game?"

Dark Bakura looked relaxed. "You can't beat me in a duel like this!"

game:"......"

While he remained silent, Dark Bakura inserted two cards into the Duel Disk.

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

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 3 → 1]

"Don't think that's all. Don't forget the effect of the [Cursed Doll Nicolopia] that was destroyed this turn. During the End Phase, this monster is revived and destroys face-down cards on your field with its effect."

The cursed doll is resurrected on the field.

【Cursed Doll Nicolofia: Attack Power 2800】

The card at the player's feet was destroyed.

However, at that moment, the corners of the game's mouth suddenly turned up, revealing a strange smile.

Chapter 230 The Spirit Disc Reactivates

"Ha, Bakura, you've been tricked!"

Upon hearing this, Dark Bakura frowned. "What's so funny?"

But the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted, "What?!"

He was taken aback by what he saw.

At that moment, the cards that had been shattered on the field reformed and then lifted up.

The game explains: "The effect of the Perpetual Trap [Mirror Force Activation] is activated."

You can activate this effect if this Set card is destroyed by your opponent's card effect and sent to the Graveyard. Target this card in your Graveyard and 1 "Divine Shield - Mirror Force -" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard; Set both cards to your field. This effect can also be activated the turn a Set card is set.

Dark Bakura's pupils trembled as he exclaimed in shock, "It's actually a card used to obtain [Holy Shield - Mirror Force -]?!"

The game then inserted the Hanno Exalted Power, which had been taken from the deck long ago, into the Duel Disk.

The revelation of the Holy Rebellion and the activation that appeared on the field were covered up together.

In this way, Dark Bakura can no longer launch attacks at will, and even after the Cursed Doll replaces Holy Reversal, it cannot destroy this activation card, thus having a natural counter effect.

"But don't think that having [Holy Shield - Mirror Force -] means you can rest easy. Don't forget that even if I can't attack, I can still end the duel with the power of [Summoning Disc]."

"Dark Bakura said with a disdainful look."

Indeed, the situation regarding the game is not optimistic.

However, it's still a long way from collecting all the letters.

In that case, the game boldly began its own turn.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→4]

After only glancing at his hand, he revealed it without hesitation, "I'll activate the Spell Card [Monster Resurrection] from my hand to Special Summon [Witch of the Dark Forest] from my Graveyard."

The moment the card was struck onto the Duel Disk, the Witch of the Black Forest appeared amidst a burst of light.

【Witch of the Dark Forest: Attack Power 1100】

"Then, by offering up the [Witch of the Black Forest], we can summon the [Silent Swordsman LV5]."

The witch who had just appeared on the game field disappeared, and then the figure of the Silent Swordsman reappeared.

[Silent Swordsman LV5: Attack Power 2300]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→2]

The game then added, "And the special effect of the [Witch of the Black Forest] that was sent to the graveyard is activated again, adding [Gandora the Destroyer Dragon] from the deck to your hand."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]

Jonouchi immediately perked up: "Yosh! With the effect of this ace monster, Bakura's plan will be useless!"

Kyoko: "Go for it, game!"

Dark Bakura was well aware of this, and clicked his tongue inwardly: "Tch, a monster that can destroy and banish all cards on the field, it certainly has a lot of annoying tricks..."

As he was thinking this, Yugi pressed the face-down button, "Open face-down card, Continuous Trap [Mirror Force Activation] activated."

He then inserted the second Spell Card into the Duel Disk, saying, "By sending the Continuous Trap Card 'Mirror Force Activation' to the Graveyard as a price, I activate the Spell Card 'Magic Flowerpot'."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→4]

After glancing at the two cards, the game revealed a third magic card.

"It's not over yet. I'll activate the spell card [Interdimensional Fusion] from my hand!"

You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls and 1 Warrior-Type monster you control; equip that monster to that opponent's face-up monster as an Equip Card, and battle damage inflicted on your opponent from battles involving that monster until the end of this turn becomes 0. If the equipped monster is destroyed by battle or card effect, destroy the monster equipped to it by this card's effect instead.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→3]

"The monster I chose is of course [Cursed Doll Nicolopia], and I will use the effect of [Cross Dimension] to equip this monster as an Equip Card to [Silent Swordsman LV5]."

"What......"

Under the shocked gaze of Dark Bakura, the Silent Swordsman opened his arms.

drink--!!

A powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the Silent Swordsman, and the cursed puppet was uncontrollably drawn towards him, turning into a ball of energy that merged into the former's body.

Then the game finally dared to launch an attack: "Battle begins! I attack [Silent Swordsman LV5] against [Dark Doll Nicolofia], Silence Sword!"

At his command, the Silent Swordsman raised his greatsword and charged straight at the dark doll, ready to unleash a strike.

Seeing this, Dark Bakura quickly waved his hand and shouted, "Too inexperienced! Activate the effect of the field spell [Dark Sanctuary], flip a coin!"

Ding--!

A coin is tossed and falls quickly—the watch.

"Hahaha, according to the effect of [Dark Sanctuary], the attack of [Silent Swordsman LV5] is nullified, and you will still suffer half the damage from this monster!"

As soon as Dark Baku finished speaking, a wisp of ghostly energy suddenly appeared in front of the Silent Swordsman, seemingly about to block its attack.

However, the next moment, Yugi shouted: "It's useless! [Silent Swordsman LV5] is unaffected by spell card effects, and the effect of [Dark Sanctuary] is nullified!"

Without further hesitation, the Silent Swordsman swung his greatsword.

boom--! !

The dark doll was instantly cleaved in two.

As he watched his monster being destroyed, Dark Bakura's smile froze.

"Damn it! Did they even consider that?"

"But because of the effect of cross-border integration, I will not be harmed."

The game shrugged, not really caring about that.

Now that he's dealt with the Dark Doll and the Cursed Doll, he can launch an attack at any time.

Finally, he inserted a card from his hand into the duel disk.
