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

"Without face-down cards and without monster protection, you're beyond saving!"

Jonouchi, however, laughed and retorted, "No, I still have a chance."

"what?"

Ryuzaki the dinosaur looked at him like he was an idiot.

At this moment, Jonouchi spoke up and explained, "Take a closer look at my hand."

"Um!?"

Upon closer inspection, Dinosaur Ryuzaki discovered that his opponent had two cards in their hand.

"Wait, why do you have an extra card in your hand? Did you cheat?"

he shouted in frustration.

In response, Jonouchi shook his head and replied, "That's because of the effect of the face-down card [Card Gunner] that you destroyed and sent to the graveyard. At the same time you activated [Little Winged Dragon], I also drew a card using the ability of [Card Gunner]."

"Therefore, I can turn my last card face down and end the turn."

They managed to hold out for a while within the city.

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 2→1]

Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Unlimited Dinosaurs' Fierce Attack

"To still have a face card left in this situation, that's quite troublesome, Jonouchi."

"However, your crisis is not over yet. If I can draw a card like [Whirlwind] next, then the victory of this duel will be mine."

As he spoke, Ryuzaki the dinosaur drew out a card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Dinosaur Ryuzaki Hand Cards: 0 → 1]

After glancing at it, he inserted the card into the Duel Disk without hesitation: "I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed' from my hand and draw two cards from my Deck."

[Dinosaur Ryuzaki Hand Cards: 1 → 2]

Seeing the other side draw two more cards, Jonouchi subconsciously swallowed, and the others felt their hearts leap into their throats.

"Tsk..."

Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, clicked his tongue.

Judging from his reaction, he didn't draw a card that could solve the problem.

"call......"

The tension within the castle eased slightly.

"You bastard who walks all the way to dog shit!"

This is what annoyed Ryuzaki the dinosaur: why couldn't he share some of his good luck?

He glared angrily at Jonouchi.

Then he looked back at his hand, picked up a card and played it, "Summon [Dinosaur Base]".

After a flash of light beneath their feet, a triangular, prism-shaped battle vehicle with massive tracks slowly rose up behind the dinosaur Ryuzaki.

[Dinosaur Base: Attack Power 0 → 500]

[Dinosaur Ryuzaki: 2→1]

Ryuzaki the Dinosaur raised his right hand and shouted, "The special ability of [Dinosaur Base] is activated!"

This effect can only be activated during your Main Phase. Send the Fusion Material Monsters, including this card on the field, from your hand or field to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck.

"I will fuse the [Dinosaur Base] and the [Superconducting Terror Beast] to summon the [Dinosaur Chariot]!"

A door on the side of the dinosaur's base was opened, and the superconducting dinosaur jumped in.

Then, a brown dinosaur with legs converted into a war machine flew out of the passage.

boom--!

Then the dinosaur base exploded on its own.

Ryuzaki Dinosaur continued, "The ATK of [Dinosaur Tank] is increased by the original ATK value of the Dinosaur-Type monster that was used as Fusion Material for this card."

【Dinosaur Tank: ? → 3800】

"Doesn't this mean the attack power hasn't changed at all? Or does it have some other effect?"

Jonouchi sensed that this monster's effects were likely more than just that.

"Let's go! I'll attack with the [Dinosaur Tank]!"

The dinosaur Ryuzaki launched an attack without hesitation.

So the dinosaur tank came right over.

Then, Jonouchi quickly clicked the button to open his card.

"I activate the trap card [Guardian Barrier]."

This effect can only be activated during the battle damage calculation during your opponent's turn. The battle damage you suffered during that battle becomes 0, and you draw 1 card from your deck.

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 1→2]

The dinosaur tank crashed into an unseen wall.

"Damn it, it dodged it again!"

Ryuzaki the dinosaur is absolutely fed up.

The others were also worried for Jonouchi, fearing that he might accidentally cause a car accident.

Dinosaur Ryuzaki had no choice but to face down his hand, "and then face down another card to end the turn."

[Dinosaur Ryuzaki Hand Cards: 1 → 0]

"Truly tenacious, no wonder she's someone Mai has her eye on..."

"That's probably why he was chosen. Although he doesn't have the powerful dueling skills of Yugi Muto, his tenacious character that refuses to give up will allow him to go further."

The people downstairs didn't hear the comments from the two people upstairs.

Others were more focused on the duel between Jonouchi and his companions.

At this moment, another card was drawn from the castle.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 2→3]

Upon seeing the cards he drew, Jonouchi immediately inserted his Duel Disk, saying, "Alright, I'll also activate my Spell Card [Pot of Greed] and draw two cards from my deck."

As the manifested Pot of Greed shattered, two more cards were drawn from the castle.

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 3→4]

Then, I took a picture of one of them, and said, "I'll summon the Time Magician again."

After a flash of light on the card, a magician shaped like an alarm clock was projected.

[Time Magician: Attack Power 500]

[Jouchi Katsuya’s hand cards: 4→3]

"【Time Magician】!!"

The dinosaur Ryuzaki made a grinding sound.

In Duel Kingdom, he was defeated by Jonouchi using this monster, and ended up losing Red-Eyes Black Dragon as well.

Hey, do you remember how it worked?

"Is that even a question?!"

After all, the dinosaur Ryuzaki lost so badly back then, which was all thanks to it, so he felt very annoyed just thinking about it.

"That makes things easier. Let's go, Time Wheel!"

No sooner had the city gates finished speaking than the Time Magician summoned a roulette wheel with a pie chart bearing four skull symbols and two red symbols.

The two skull markers and one red marker occupy the same area.

When the arrow points to the red-marked area, it destroys all of the opponent's monsters; when it points to the skull, it destroys your own.

The actual effect of this is: once per turn, during your Main Phase. Flip a coin to guess which monster is face-up. If you guess correctly, destroy all monsters your opponent controls. If you guess incorrectly, destroy all monsters you control, and take damage equal to half the combined ATK of the destroyed face-up monsters.

That is, a 50/50 gamble.

Soon, the pointer on the roulette wheel began to spin.

"Hit it!"

It slowly came to a stop after spinning around several times.

The pointer stopped right in the middle of the red mark; such incredible luck!

"Excellent! Activate time magic to destroy the [Dinosaur Tank]."

Interfering with the time magic, the dinosaur tank gradually turned into a fossil.

boom--!

"Damn it, I guess I'm still just incredibly lucky!"

This wasn't enough to make Ryuzaki furious, but it was still very annoying to be constantly countered by Jonouchi's luck.

"But don't be too happy yet, the special ability of the destroyed [Dinosaur Tank] has activated!"

This effect can only be activated if this card is destroyed by your opponent. Special Summon 1 Dinosaur-Type monster from your Graveyard.

9. "Resurrect, [Infinite Dinosaurs]!"

4. The Infinite Dinosaur reappeared before him.

8. [Infinite Dinosaurs: Attack Power 3000 → 3500]

2. "Oh no, it's revived again..."

The pupils of those within the four cities contracted.

3. Dinosaur Ryuzaki continued to open the cover card, "It's not over yet, let me show you the power of [Infinite Dinosaur]!"

3. "I activate the trap card [Survival Instinct] again."

Remove any number of Dinosaur-Type monsters from your Graveyard from the game. For each Dinosaur-Type monster removed, you gain 400 Life Points.

5. "I will eliminate the remaining five dinosaur monsters and restore 2000 health points."

[Dinosaur Ryuzaki: LP3500→5500]

"Furthermore, due to the increase in the number of dinosaur-type monsters, the attack power of [Infinite Dinosaur] continues to rise."

[Infinite Dinosaur: Attack Power 3500 → 8500]

"Attack power... 8500 points!"

Looking at the Infinite Dinosaur with its attack power reaching 8500, Jonouchi broke out in a cold sweat.

Chapter Ninety-Eight Time Mage

"This is terrible, how am I going to deal with a monster with such high attack power?"

Looking at his hand, Jonouchi was starting to get anxious.

Because he still had a useless Dead Resurrection card and a card of unknown significance.

Although Monster Resurrection is very powerful, there aren't many good cards in my graveyard to revive.

The large monster in the opposite graveyard was also eliminated beforehand, leaving only one Dinosaur Base and one Fusion Monster created by fusing with the Dinosaur Base...

"Wait a minute, maybe we can do it this way!"

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Jōnei's mind.

He immediately inserted a card into the Duel Disk, saying, "I activate the Spell Card 'Monster Resurrection' from my hand to revive 'Dinosaur Base' from your Graveyard onto my field."
