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

Chapter 126

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Rafiru's hand cards: 1→3]

Without even looking, Rafael played the top card, saying, "First, I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed], and draw two cards from my deck."

At this moment, Yugi hurriedly shouted, "We've been waiting for you! The instant you activate your magic card, the effect of [Super Magician - Dark Magician and Apprentice] will activate, draw one card from your deck!"

"Hmph, so you've got the other legendary dragon yet...?"

""Fallen!" ! ""乴

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 3→4]

[Rafiru's hand cards: 3→4]

Looking at the newly drawn card, Rafael murmured, "It seems fate is tilting in my favor..."

He first placed the two cards in his left hand, then flipped the face-down cards on the Duel Disk.

"Since the seal of the [Dark Seal Sword] has been lifted, I will reverse the summoning of the [Weapon Summoner]."

With the flip of the card, the Weapon Summoner reappeared on his field.

[Weapon Summoner: Attack Power 1600 → 2100]

"And once again activate the special effect of [Weapon Summoner] to add [Guardian Alma] from the deck to your hand."

[Rafiru's hand cards: 4→5]

After placing the retrieved card in your left hand, rotate another monster card.

"Then I changed [Guardian Grall] to Defense Position."

[Guardian Grall: Defense 1000]

"This way I can activate the Equip Spell [Obstruction Star]. This card is equipped to a monster during the turn my monster changes from Attack Position to Defense Position."

[Rafiru's hand cards: 5→4]

"At the same time, select one monster that your opponent controls. That monster cannot attack or change its battle position."

"I chose [Grand Archmage - Dark Magician and Apprentice]".

Rafiru's preparations were thus completed.

"I will change [Guardian Desceth] to Attack Position and then tribute all other monsters on my field except for it."

Bang bang——!

The two monsters exploded on their own.

The game was immediately taken aback. "How could this be? You actually sent the monster to the graveyard yourself. This is not like you at all."

Rafael ignored the other party's reaction and continued, "Because two monsters were sent to the graveyard, [Guardian Desceth]'s attack power has increased by 1000 points."

[Guardian Desceth: Attack Power 3500 → 4500]

"Its attack power surpasses that of the [Spell Dragon]."

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

"Not only that, because [Guardian Grall] was destroyed, the equipment magic [Obstruction Star] was sent to the graveyard. According to the effect of [Obstruction Star], the selected monsters are excluded."

"Disappear, [Grand Archmage - Dark Magician and Apprentice]!"

As soon as Rafael finished speaking, a hole opened up beneath the feet of the black magician and his apprentice, emanating a powerful suction force.

"ah!"

The two, master and apprentice, were uncontrollably sucked in.

"Dark Magician Girl!!"

Unfortunately, it was too late; the game couldn't stop it.

"Feel sorry......"

Seeing this, the black magician girl shook her head to tell him not to worry.

The two, master and apprentice, were then sucked in and disappeared from the game's view.

Now, only the Cursed Dragon and Dexterus remain facing off on the field.

Rafiru then pointed to the box at his feet and said, "Next up is the effect of [Work Box] once per turn. This time, I've chosen these two cards."

—【Meteor Bow - Blazing Flame】, 【Twin Swords of Light - Thunderclap】.

One card grants the equipped monster the effect of direct attack, while the other card grants the equipped monster the ability to attack multiple times.

Either card has the ability to instantly kill the game, provided that there are no trap cards in the back row.

After the game confirmed the information, [Meteor Bow - Blazing Flame] disappeared on its own.

"The card I left behind is [Twin Blades of Light - Thunderclap]. Therefore, in exchange for sending one card from my hand to the graveyard, I equip this card. [Guardian Desceth]'s ATK is reduced by 500 points, and it can attack twice in the same battle."

Two rapiers appeared before the fallen angel, then merged into the scythe, making it even sharper.

[Guardian Desceth: Attack Power 4500 → 4000]

[Rafiru's hand cards: 4→3]

"And because [Guardian Alma] was sent to the graveyard, her attack power increases by another 500 points."

[Guardian Desceth: Attack Power 4000 → 4500]

After finishing, Rafael waved his hand and shouted sharply, "I will pierce through the darkness in your heart, Desceth, and cast all hatred upon it!"

"A forbidden requiem against the [Spell Dragon]!"

Desceth gripped his scythe tightly with both hands, ready to strike.

The game player quickly pressed the button, "Don't forget my face-down card, the Trap Card [Divine Shield - Mirror Force -]!"

Hanno's sublime power was then unleashed, and a layer of colorful light enveloped the spell dragon.

"It's no use, I already have a solution!"

"Counter Trap [Trap Interference Array]: During the Battle Phase, negate the activation of one Trap Card and destroy it!"

"not good!!"

Desceston smashed through the light barrier and swung his scythe at the dragon's neck, instantly beheading it.

Bang Bang Bang!

The dragon and the black magician were shattered one after another.

"Yeah!!"

【Muto Games: LP2000→1200】

One more blow and the game is over, but things are unlikely to be that simple.

The next moment, Yugi immediately shouted, "The other ability of the destroyed [Spell Dragon] has been activated!"

If this card is destroyed, you can target 1 Spellcaster monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that Spellcaster monster.

"Rise, [Magician of Chaos]!"

A beam of light instantly erupted beneath his feet, and after the light dissipated, the Chaos Magician appeared.

[The Magician of Chaos: Defense 2100]

"【The Magician of Chaos】, a powerful monster with the ability to directly destroy cards..."

"Then I forfeit Dexter's second attack, round over."

Rafael simply chose to end the round.

Just kidding, with the [Light-Protecting Spirit-Sealing Sword] around, how could a second attack possibly succeed?

With the game's current remaining life points, there's just enough time to activate the effect once more, which would trigger the Chaos Magician's effect and destroy a card.

It's not just because of Lacaza, but more importantly, we can't let the game figure out Desceth's hidden effects too early, so as to prevent him from targeting Rafael's backcourt.

Chapter 127 Cutting Through the Darkness

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

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→5]

After glancing at the card in his right hand, Yugi put it down without hesitation and played another card from his hand, saying, "I activate the Spell Card [Wormhole] from my hand."

Choose 1 monster you control and banish it until your next Standby Phase. When banished, the selected monster's Monster Zone slot cannot be used.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→4]

Yugi pointed to the Chaos Magician in front of him and said, "The one I'm going to banish is, of course, the only monster on my field, the Chaos Magician."

"And because a Spell Card was activated, the special effect of [Chaos Magician] was activated, destroying [Guardian Desceth]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chaos Magician summoned his wand, which floated in front of him.

A small magic circle reappeared, then released a blue light bullet, while the Chaos Magician concealed himself.

boom--!

The light bullet struck Desceth instantly and caused an explosion.

After the smoke cleared, its figure remained unharmed on Rafiru's field.

"What?! What's going on?"

The game's eyes widened in astonishment as it stared at the scene before it.

At this moment, Rafael raised his left hand and said, "When Desses is destroyed, one card must be discarded in place of it."

As he spoke, a card in his hand was erased.

[Rafiru's hand cards: 3→2]

"And because the monster card [Guardian Cester] was sent to the Graveyard, Desceth's ATK increases by 500 points."

[Guardian Desceth: Attack Power 4500 → 5000]

Upon seeing this, the game player subconsciously frowned, "The substitution effect...?"

"This is troublesome, AIBO."

"Yes, but don't worry, we still have a chance." Qiu

The game then places a card from its hand onto the duel disk, saying, "I summon [Thief Kuriboh] from my hand."

After a flash of light on the card, a black-furred chestnut-shaped creature appeared, wearing a yellow headscarf, an eyepatch over its left eye, and dressed like a thief.

[Thief Chestnut: Attack Power 1000] 4

"I'll set one more card over the table, and my turn is over."

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4→2] Five

Although the game has ended his turn, he still has things to do before the next turn.

"During the final phase, the special effect of [Thief's Chestnut] activates!"

You can activate this effect by Tributing this card during the End Phase of the turn this card is summoned. Reveal the top 5 cards of your Deck. You can add 1 Spell/Trap Card from them to your hand. Send the rest of your cards to the Graveyard.

"Want to try your luck and have the [Super Electromagnetic Turtle] sent to the graveyard!?"

This is the only possible counter-strategy Rafael can think of for now.

"Go! By offering up [Thief Chestnut] as a sacrifice, fall!"

Five cards are drawn in one round of the game.

After unfolding and confirming it, his pupils suddenly contracted; it was the card he needed.

He then picked out one of the cards and quietly put the rest into the graveyard.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2→3]

"Looks like you didn't get the card you were hoping for."

"Then I'll take this battle!"

As he spoke, Rafiru eagerly drew two cards from his deck.
