"Similar to the effect of [Skilled White Magician], could it be used to summon [Dark Magician]!?"

The president wondered to himself.

"Then I set two more cards, and I have two more face-down cards on my field, and the attack power of [Skilled Dark Magician] increases again."

[Skilled Dark Magician: Attack Power 2400 → 3400]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→2]

"Tsk! Attack power reached 3400!? I should have known better than to use the attack attack..."

Dark Bakura couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Battle has begun! I'm attacking the lurking figure in the painting with [Skilled Zhong ∵￠qＵN:※Lingba…'�Chirp—↑Black Magician]!"

Following the King's attack command, the skilled black magician released a black sphere at the Lurker and shattered it.

"Ughhhh—!"

Dark Baku cried out in pain.

【Bakura Ryo: LP4000→1800】

"Ouch, that really hurts..."

Dark Bakura dared not continue his reckless behavior.

"My turn is over."

Wang Yang also ended his turn.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Bakura's hand cards: 5 → 6]

This time, Yami Bakura learned her lesson.

"I summon [Earthbound Spirit] from my hand in defense position."

A demon's hands and a head crawled out from his field.

[Earthbound Spirit: Defense 2000]

Then he picked up his three cards.

"Then activate the perpetual spell [Dark Gate]."

Each player can only use one monster to attack during the battle phase.

"Because you activated the Spell Card, the Spell Counters of [Skilled Dark Magician] have increased."

As Wang Yang finished speaking, the black sphere on the other shoulder of the skilled black magician also lit up.

[The Skilled Black Magician: Magic Counter 1 → 2]

Seeing the increase in magic indicators, Dark Bakura frowned.

"Hmm!? I see..."

He muttered to himself, as if he had received some message.

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

Dark Bakura ended his turn by face-down his remaining two cards.

[Bakura's hand cards: 6 → 2]

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Spirit Disc

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]

King Yu put away the card he had just drawn, and then slapped another card from his hand onto the duel disk.

"I summon [Magic Knight Defender] from my hand in defense position."

A mage holding a giant shield in his left hand was projected and stood guard in front of Yugi.

[Magic Knight Defender: Defense 2000]

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→2]

"The effect of [Magic Knight Defender] is activated."

If this card is successfully Summoned, activate this effect. Place 1 Spell Counter on this card (maximum 1).

The indicator on the Defender's Shield lit up.

[Magic Knight Defender: Magic Indicator 0→1]

"Battle has begun! I'm attacking the Earthbound Spirit with [Skilled Black Magician]."

The skilled black magician released another black ball.

At this moment, Wang Yang flipped open one of his cards.

"And at this very moment, activate the trap card [Magician's Circle]."

This effect can be activated when either player declares an attack by a Spellcaster monster. Each player Special Summons 1 Spellcaster monster with 2000 or less ATK from their Deck in Attack Position.

Dark Baku immediately opened the cover card.

"At this very moment, I activate the trap card [Explosive Armor]!"

When an opponent's monster declares an attack, you can target 1 attacking monster to activate this effect. Destroy that attacking monster.

The trap card emitted a beam of light towards the skilled black magician.

"It's no use! I'll use the effect of [Magic Knight Defender]!"

Once per turn, if a Spellcaster monster on the field is destroyed, you can remove that number of Spell Counters from your field instead.

The defender immediately stepped in front of the skilled dark magician, blocking the beam of light.

[Magic Knight Defender: Magic Indicator 1→0]

"Tsk! Did they anticipate my card-giving...?"

Seeing this scene, Yami Bakura couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Then Wang Yang picked out a card from the deck.

"And based on the effect of [Magician's Circle], I Special Summon [Dark Magic Refiner] from my Deck in Attack Position."

The Black Magic Refiner then projected itself in front of him.

[Dark Magic Refiner: Attack Power 1200]

"Then I will Special Summon [White-Clad Phantom Thief] from my Deck."

A phantom thief dressed in a blue suit, disguised as a man in white, appears.

[The White-Clad Phantom Thief; Attack Power 1000]

"Since I have one less trap card on the field, the attack power of [Skilled Dark Magician] has decreased."

[Skilled Dark Magician: Attack Power 3400 → 2900]

At the same time, the skilled black magician's attack landed, shattering the earthbound spirit.

There's no rule for turning back into combat right now, so you can only keep attacking the Earthbound Spirit.

"Then activate the effect of [Dark Magic Refiner] to change this card to Defense Position and place a Spell Counter on [Magic Knight Defender]."

The defender added a magic indicator.

[Dark Magic Refiner: Defense 1800]

[Magic Knight Defender: Magic Indicator 0→1]

"Finally, set one card face down. My turn is over."

King Yoshihiro finished his turn after setting down another card.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→1]

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

At that moment, Yami Bakura suddenly laughed.

“What are you laughing at!?”

Wang Yang asked, frowning.

At this moment, another face-down card on the Dark Baku field was revealed.

"Game, let me show you the terror of my supernatural deck! Activate the Continuous Trap [Spirit Disk]!"

When this card and all four types of "Death Message" cards are on your field, you win the Duel.

: Activate this effect during your opponent's End Phase. Add 1 "Death Message" card from your hand or Deck to your Spell & Trap Zone in the order "D" "E" "A" "T" "H".

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

A "D" appeared on the field for Dark Bakura.

"Next, based on the effect of the [Spirit Disk], place [Death Message "E"] from the deck."

He placed a Continuous Spell on his Duel Disk, and then an "E" appeared on his field.

"D" "E" "A" "T" "H", DEATH! So that means 'death'!? If I activate this effect three more times, I'll lose, but..."

After a moment's thought, King Yu looked at the perpetual magic [Dark Gate] opposite him.

"One spell and trap zone is occupied, so we can't collect the remaining [Message of Death] cards..."

Just as he was thinking this, the game started playing.

"Don't be careless, there's another me! Do you think Bakura didn't expect this? He must have prepared a cooperation card."

Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Yugi quickly reminded him that he remembered there was a combo card called "Dark Sanctuary," but he didn't know what the effect of that card would be here.

“AIBO… I understand. In other words, the best way to break this tactic is to directly destroy the [Spirit Disk].

Then Wang Yang looked at the skilled black magician.

"I need to draw that card within the next three rounds..."

He seemed to have thought of something.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dark Sanctuary

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Bakura's hand cards: 2 → 3]

Upon seeing the card drawn, Dark Bakura immediately smiled.

"Hehehehe... I've already drawn the key card in the game!"

He slammed the card directly onto the duel disk.

"I summon [Demon Dog Eight Demon Dog] from my hand in defense position."

A large, black demonic hound covered in red stripes appeared on his field.
