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

[Silent Swordsman LV5: Attack Power 2300 → 500]

"Furthermore, once the target of the effect is lost, the effect of [Death Magic Box] will no longer be processed, and control of [Macaron Marshmallow] will not be transferred."

Seeing this, the game simply shrugged indifferently.

This was something he had anticipated.

He then revealed another card in his hand and said, "In that case, I will Special Summon this monster from my hand by sending two monsters from my hand or field to the Graveyard."

"I send the [Silent Swordsman LV5] on the field and one monster from my hand to the Graveyard as the price..."

"Appear, [Destroyer Dragon Gandora - Brilliant Flash]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light shot out from beneath the game's feet, revealing a jet-black dragon covered in red gems.

【Gandora the Destroyer - Blazing Flash: Attack Power 0】

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→3]

Upon seeing the giant dragon appear, Dark Bakura's pupils contracted, and his voice trembled.

"What?! It's a brand new Destroyer Dragon Gandora?!"

Jonouchi immediately perked up: "Yosh! So there are other kinds of Gandora games! We're definitely going to win this time!"

At this point, the game continues: "The attack power of [Destroyer Dragon Gandora - Blazing Flash] is determined by the number of cards banished. For each card banished, this monster's attack power increases by 300 points."

"Now there are a total of three cards excluded from both sides, so the total attack power has increased by 900 points."

【Gandora the Destroyer - Blazing Flash: Attack Power 0 → 900】

He then swung his arm and shouted, "And I'll activate the special effect of [Destroyer Dragon Gandora - Blazing Flash] again!"

"Once per turn, by paying half of your Life Points, activate the effect corresponding to the type of [Gandora] monster in your Graveyard."

【Muto Games: LP1700→850】

"My graveyard only contains [Destroyer Dragon Gandora], so I'll use the effect of [Destroyer Dragon Gandora - Brilliant Flash] to destroy all cards on the field except this one!"

Dark Bakura's expression changed drastically: "What did you say?!"

Before he could react, the game commanded: "Go! [Destroyer Dragon Gandora - Brilliant Flash], special magic attack—!!"

Under his command, the gems all over the black dragon's body suddenly emitted a large amount of red light.

Boom boom boom——! ! !

Under the bombardment of the Destruction Dragon, the cards on the field were instantly shattered, and the eerie space created by the Dark Sanctuary was also torn apart.

When the light faded, Dark Bakura found his field empty, while Yugi's field still contained monsters.

"Tsk! All my preparations have been wasted again..."

Dark Bakura wonders if he'll ever be able to collect all the spirit discs in his possession.

Just then, the game announced loudly: "At this moment, the effect of the destroyed [Macaron Marshmallow] activates, Special Summoning two more [Macaron Marshmallow] cards from the Deck!"

The macaron marshmallow, which had been blown to pieces, reformed and split into two, appearing on the field.

[Macaron Marshmallow: Defense 200] ×2

The next moment, Dark Bakura made his move again.

He revealed a card from his hand and shouted, "Well, since you activated your effect, I'm activating the monster effect of [Evil Spirit of Resentment] from my hand!"

When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap/Monster effect, you can send this card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, then target 1 Level 8 Fiend monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster. The effects of the monster Special Summoned by this effect are negated.

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 4 → 3]

"Come back, [Cursed Doll Nicolofia]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the cursed doll reappeared on the field.

【Cursed Doll Nicolofia: Attack Power 2800】

Chapter 233 The Ruler of Darkness - Zorc

Looking at the cursed doll in front of him, Dark Bakura said coldly, "Hmph, although the effect of [Destroyer Dragon Gandora - Blazing Flash] destroyed all my setups, my monster still has higher attack power now."

"Is that really true?"

"What......"

Under Bakura's questioning gaze, Yugi revealed his second magic card.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed' from my hand."

You can activate this effect by banishing the top 10 cards of your deck face down. Draw 2 cards from your deck.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→2]

Apricot: "Ten sheets?! Isn't that too high a price to pay?"

Jonouchi shook his head and smiled, "No, this is fine..."

As he said this, Yugi took ten cards from the deck in one go and then drew two more.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→4]

"Because ten more cards were banished, the total attack power of [Destroyer Dragon Gandora - Brilliant Flash] increased by 3000 points due to its effect."

【Gandora the Destroyer - Blazing Flash: Attack Power 900 → 3900】

Dark Bakura's eyes widened in surprise. "3900 attack power...that surpasses all the monsters on my field..."

At that moment, Yugi swung his hand and shouted, "Go! [Destruction Dragon Gandora - Brilliant Flash] Attack [Cursed Doll Nicolofia]!"

The gems on Lie Guang Shan's body once again released a large amount of red light.

Boom boom boom boom——! ! !

The barrage of beams rapidly approached the cursed doll.

Seeing this, Dark Bakura quickly discarded another card from his hand, "I won't let you succeed! I'll activate the monster effect of [Evil Spirit of Annihilation] from my hand again!"

At the start of the Damage Step when your opponent's monster attacks, you can send this card from your hand or field to the Graveyard, then target 1 Level 8 Fiend monster in your Graveyard; negate that monster's effect and Special Summon it, then the attack target is changed to that monster for damage calculation.

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 3 → 2]

"Rise, [Dark Doll Nicolofia]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the dark puppet reappeared on his field.

[Dark Doll Nicolofia: Defense 2800]

The next second, the dark doll stood in front of the cursed doll, taking the attack in its place.

Boom boom boom——! !

Under the relentless bombardment of the Blazing Lightning, the dark doll was instantly blasted to pieces.

After the attack of the Brilliant Flash ended, he continued, "Since the destroyed monster was in Defense Position, my Life Points were not damaged."

"Then, because the Dark Doll Nicolofia was destroyed, another effect of the Evil Spirit of Annihilation was activated."

This effect can be activated if this card is in your Graveyard and a Level 8 Fiend monster is destroyed and sent to your Graveyard. Add this card to your hand.

"And the [Evil Spirit of Resentment] has the same effect, so I also return this monster to my hand."

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 2 → 4]

After watching the other player reclaim the two cards, the game remained silent for a moment.

After thinking about it, I decided to play the next magic card.

He inserted another card into the Duel Disk and said, "Then I will activate the Spell Card [Wormhole] again, banishing [Destruction Dragon Gandora - Blazing Flash] from the field until my next Standby Phase."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→3]

In the blink of an eye, Lie Guangshan's figure vanished from the field.

Watching the black dragon disappear from the field, Dark Bakura clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"Tch, you figured it out?"

As for what he had seen through, he didn't say it directly.

Then, the game inserts another card into the Duel Disk, "and finally I set one card face down, and the turn ends."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→2]

After placing a face-down card, the game ends its turn without any further delay.

At the same time, Dark Bakura hurriedly shouted, "At the moment your turn ends, the monster effect of [Dark Doll Nicolopia] that was destroyed this turn will activate!"

During the End Phase of the turn this card in the Monster Zone is destroyed by your opponent and sent to the Graveyard, target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Equip this card in your Graveyard to that opponent's monster as an Equip Card.

The black doll, now manifesting as dark energy, attaches itself to the marshmallow-shaped pastry. 〇∝↑伍∧♂

"Control of the monster equipped with this effect is transferred to my field."

As soon as he finished speaking, the macaron that was possessed by the dark doll floated onto Dark Bakura's field.

Jonouchi: "Damn it, one [Macaron Marshmallow] isn't enough to stop all of Bakura's attacks..."

Meanwhile, Dark Bakura has already drawn a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 4 → 5]

After glancing at the card in his hand, he said while still holding the card, "Since it's my turn, the [Diaband Core] that was banished last turn returns to my field."

The next second, Diaband reappeared on Dark Bakura's field.

[Diabund Core: Attack Power 1800]

Then he revealed the card in his hand, "I activate the Ritual Spell [Contract with the Ruler of Darkness] from my hand by offering sacrifices of a total level of eight or higher."

"I offer up the Level 4 [Evil Spirit of Resentment] and the Level 6 [Puppet Master of the Dead] from my hand."

"Ritual summons! Come forth, [Zork, Ruler of Darkness]!"

Boom——! !

A bolt of black lightning struck, opening the passage to the abyss, from which thick black mist billowed out. After the mist dissipated, a malevolent creature from the underworld appeared before Dark Bakura.

【Zoc, the Ruler of Darkness: Attack Power 2700】

[Dark Baku Ryo's hand: 5 → 1]

game:"......"

That four-for-one trade by the opponent was a real loss.

Dark Bakura burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! [Dark Ruler - Zorc] is also a monster with special abilities, therefore I will activate this monster's effect!"

Once per turn, can only be activated during your Main Phase. Roll the dice once; the effect of the number rolled applies.

●1·2: Destroy all monsters on your opponent's field.

●3·4·5: Target and destroy 1 monster on your opponent's field.

●6: Destroy all monsters on your field.

Only the last effect is to destroy your own monster.

In other words, there's only a one in six chance of you losing on your own. If you're gambling on luck, it's worth the risk in the early stages of a duel.

However, for a character like Dark Bakura who possesses powerful dark forces, luck is not an issue at all.

Chapter 234 The Second Blazing Light Flash

Dark Bakura chuckled coldly, then conjured a demon die and tossed it into the air: "What will it be? Should we pray it turns into a six? Hahahaha!!"

Dark Bakura, his face contorted with madness, and Jonouchi, who was intently watching, both stared intently at the die.

Within the castle, they kept praying, "Byeong! Beyeong!"

Cluck cluck cluck—!
