Welcome to the Duel Academy where Yu-Gi-Oh appears

Although the deck he is using now only has one card from each family, it is actually more flexible than the Subterranean Tribe.

It's just that he hasn't been able to fully master it yet.

During the five days of survival in the wilderness, Ryuen Sho also experienced the life of a wandering duelist and finally got used to the deck in his hand.

At least, I won't get stuck and die inexplicably anymore.

"On my turn, I Normal Summon [Counterattack Spirit Spiral]. When this card is Normal Summoned, I can add 1 [Counterattack Spirit] monster other than a Warrior-Type monster from my deck to my hand."

"I add [Counterattack Spirit Heavy Borg] to my hand, then activate its effect. Target 1 [Counterattack Spirit] monster on your side of the field (other than a Machine-Type monster), return it to your hand, and Special Summon this card from your hand."

"Versus, Vanquish, the duel begins! Arrows confirmed, direct the fight—[Vision of the Fighting God]."

[Fighting God's Illusion (L1) Dark] [Link/Rock Tribe/Effect ATK: 0↓]

"Activate the effect of [Fighting God's Illusion], and add 1 [Counter Fighting Spirit] monster from your Graveyard to your hand."

After a round of combos, Ryuen Sho actually has one more card in his hand than at the beginning of the round.

[VS] can also be translated as [VS] or [Soul of Conquest]. Its design prototype is a fighting game similar to The King of Fighters, and it even has a special fighting game design concept map.

The feature of this series is that different effects are applied by showing the monster attributes of your hand to your opponent, simulating the pressing of different button combinations to release different moves in fighting games.

The monsters in the deck are equivalent to the characters selected in a fighting game, and the monsters in the main family have three attributes: earth, fire, and dark, which correspond to the basic buttons of the fighting game.

Those monsters can achieve different combos by displaying the attributes of the monsters in their hands to activate effects.

Just like in the same fighting game, some people can only press buttons randomly, while others can perform various combos very coolly. In the same way, the strength of using [VS] is also different in the hands of different drivers.

"Four cards covered, end of turn."

Then, some people directly exposed the fact that they were probably not masters of fighting.

After all, after he covered the cards like this, it was obvious that the cards left in his hand were Spiral and Heavy Borg.

"My turn, draw a card."

"Activate [Fighting God's Illusion] and I can Special Summon [Counter Fighting Spirit Spiral] from my hand."

The Fighting God's Phantom can retrieve the [Counter Fighting Spirit] monster in the Graveyard or special recruit the [Counter Fighting Spirit] monster in the hand. This effect can be activated during the main phase of both sides' turns and is very powerful.

"Special Summon Spiral, then activate its effect to add [Counter Fighting Spirit, Dr. Crazy Love] from your deck to your hand."

"I activate Heavy Borg's effect and Special Summon Spiral to the field. Then I reveal Dark-attribute Dr. Crazy Love in my hand and draw a card from my deck."

[Counter-Fighting Spirit Heavy Borg (7*) Dark] [Machine Type/Effect ATK:2500 DEF:1500]

[VS] All cards have the ability to summon during the opponent's turn. The Earth, Fire, and Dark attributes each have a four-star lower-level card, each with a summon-related effect during their turn. The Fire attribute also has a five-star and a six-star card, each with a different Special Summon effect, which can be summoned during the opponent's turn if the conditions are met.

Even the Dragon Emperor Varius of the Star could be Special Summoned during both players' turns by returning a [Fighting Spirit] of a different race. However, none of the characters available in the original family had the same race.

Seeing that Ryuen Sho had finished his moves, Kagemaru finally resumed his maneuvers and began his own turn.

"Activate [Angel's Charity], draw three and throw away two."

Normally summons [Chaos Summoner], activates its effect, and can be activated by releasing this card. Special summon any one of the three Phantoms from your hand, ignoring the summoning conditions.

"Come on, [Divine Flame Emperor Uriah]."

[Flame Emperor Uriya (10 Stars) Flame] [Flame Tribe/Special Summon/Effect ATK: 0→1000 DEF: 0]

The attack power of the Flame God will increase by the number of Continuous Trap Cards in his Graveyard × 1000.

"Activate the effect of Uriya, targeting 1 Magic or Trap card on your opponent's field, destroying it. In response to this effect, you cannot activate Magic or Trap."

Uriah spewed out flames from his mouth, shattering a trap card on Ryuen Sho's field.

"To activate this, banish [Chaos Summoner] from your Graveyard and add 1 [Paradise Lost] from your Deck to your Hand."

"Then I activated the field [Lost Paradise], the continuous magic [Lost Paradise Thunderbolt], and [Seven Spirits Gate]."

"And because of the effect of [Seven Spirits Gate], I added [Thunder King Hamon] to my hand."

"Next, I will cover two magic cards."

Kagemaru's words made Ryuuen frown.

"Doesn't this guy know how to duel? How could he tell others what kind of cards he's covering?"

Marufuji Sho couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't notice that the atmosphere around him was gradually becoming serious.

"Because of [Thunderbolt], I can sacrifice the continuous spell [Thunderbolt] and the two set spells to Special Summon [Hammon the Thunder King] in my hand."

[Thunder King Hamon (10 Stars) Light] [Thunder Tribe/Special Summon/Effect ATK:4000 DEF:4000]

"I activate [Refined Fusion] in the Graveyard, shuffle it into the Deck, and then I draw a card."

"Then activate [Seven Spirits Gate], once per turn, while you have a Level 1 monster on your side of the field, select 1 Continuous Spell Card from your Graveyard and add it to your hand."

"I will return [Lost Joy Thunderbolt] to my hand and activate it again."

"Open the face-up card [Conqueror's Spirit Triple Burst], and activate this effect by targeting 1 [Counter-Fighting Spirit] monster you control. Special Summon up to 2 [Counter-Fighting Spirit] monsters from your hand with different Attributes from that monster (up to 1 card with the same name), negating their effects. Afterwards, you can return all of your targeted monsters, as well as all cards on the opponent's field opposite the monster Special Summoned by this effect, to the owner's hand. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect are returned to their owner's hand during the End Phase."

Ryuuen opened a face-down card, not realizing that his hand was Dark + Fire, and that he could only Special Summon one monster at most.

But Yingmaru ignored this and directly launched [Lost Joy Thunderbolt].

Once per turn, while you control [Hammon the Thunder King] in Attack Position, negate the effects of your opponent's Spell or Trap Cards. Then, select 1 [Hammon the Thunder King] you control and change it to Defense Position.

"Tsk, open the cover card [Countering Fighting Spirit Spiral Flow Tsuji Wind]."

"I can target 1 [Counterfighting Spirit] monster on my field and change its display."

"After that, you can select a number of face-up monsters on your opponent's field, up to the number of types of [Counterfighting Spirit] monsters you control, and change them to face-down Defense Position."

What's interesting about the [VS] deck is that since it's more about stacking moves, most of its cards target its own monsters to activate their effects, which also makes the non-target resistance given to the Phantom by [Lost Paradise] useless.

The Thunder Emperor and the Divine Flame Emperor were thus turned to the inside.

"Hmph, you're quite interesting. My turn is over."

"Your turn is over, so it's my turn. Draw a card and activate Heavy Borg's effect. I reveal my Dark-attribute [Dr. Crazy Love] and draw a card."

"Then activate [Fighting God's Illusion], and I Special Summon Spiral on the grid opposite the Thunder King. Using Spiral's effect, I add [Counter Fighting Spirit Dragon] from my deck to my hand."

"Then reveal the Dark-attribute Dr. Crazy Love and the Fire-attribute Drake in your hand, and activate the effect of Spiral to destroy all other monsters in the same column as this card."

"Dragon's effect: When you reveal your hand to activate the effect of a [Counter Fighting Spirit] card, you can Special Summon this card from your hand."

Dragon Boy, sounded the clarion call for counterattack.

Chapter 63: Challenge in Progress

Normally summons [Counterfighting Spirit, Dr. Crazy Love], and activates its effect to add [Counterfighting Spirit Continue] to your hand.

Ryuen Sho smiled slightly, switched the Heavy Borg back to attack position, and waved his hand to enter the battle phase.

The Divine Flame Emperor's defense was 0, and the Thunder Emperor was blown away by the spiral when he was already on the inside and outside.

At this moment, there are four monsters on Ryuuen's field besides the [Illusion of the Fighting God], which is enough to completely clear Yingmaru's LP.

[Counter Fighting Spirit Dragon (5*) Flame] [Phantom Dragon/Effect ATK:2400 DEF:2100]

[Counter-Fighting Spirit Heavy Borg (7*) Dark] [Machine Type/Effect ATK:2500 DEF:1500]

[Counter Fighting Spirit Dr. Crazy Love (4*) Dark] [Demon/Effect ATK:1200 DEF:2000]

[Counter Fighting Spirit Spiral (4*) Flame] [Warrior/Effect ATK:1800 DEF:1500]

"Dr. Crazy Love attacks the Divine Flame Emperor on the inside, Heavy Borg and Spiral attack directly, go ahead—Triple Explosion!"

Ryuen Sho pumped his fist and roared passionately.

However, things did not develop as he expected.

Shadow Maru:lp:4000→lp1500

At this moment, Spiral was staring solemnly at a pure white statue in front of Yingmaru, clenching his fists in hesitation.

[Emperor of the True Source (5*) Light/Continuous Trap] [Angel/Normal ATK:1000 DEF:2400]

"If this card is in your Graveyard, you can activate this by banishing 1 [Emperor] Magic or Trap Card in your Graveyard, and Special Summon this card to your Monster Zone in Defense Position as a Normal Monster."

"I banished [Emperor's Whirl] from the graveyard and activated its effect."

Kagemaru said with a smile, showing the card that popped out of the Duel Disk.

"Tsk, both the card I threw at the beginning and the magic used as a sacrifice have their effects. I'm curious what the last unknown object in your graveyard is."

Ryuen Sho snorted coldly and ended his turn by placing two cards.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network. The three cards you placed are [Counter-Fighting Spirit Dragon Emperor's Spear] and [Counter-Fighting Spirit Continued Level], right?"

Kagemaru's words made Ryuuen frown slightly.

He was certainly right, but he had another cover card.

Since he pulled all the fighting spirits he could into the field at once, he lost the right to use his moves at will.

“发动【七精之解门】，1回合1次，扔掉1张手牌可以发动。从自己的墓地挑选1只攻击力和守备力为0的恶魔族怪兽特殊召唤。”

"The card you're curious about is the one I threw into the graveyard first. Come on—[Phantom Summoning God]."

A strangely shaped skeleton, possessing some of the characteristics of the three phantom demons, slowly crawled out of the cemetery.

"You can activate this effect by releasing this card. Add any one of [Uriah, the Divine Flame Emperor], [Hammon, the Thunder Emperor], or [Rabiel, the Phantom Demon Emperor] from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand. Then, you can Special Summon a Level 1 Fire-Type, Thunder-Type, or Demon-Type monster with the same ATK and DEF from your hand, ignoring the summoning conditions. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack directly this turn."

"Look carefully, this is the final and strongest phantom demon."

"Descend here, [Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel]!"

"Then I activate the effect of [Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel - Heaven's Ravage Fist] in my hand. You can discard this card from your hand and target 1 [Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel] you control. During this turn, that monster's ATK is doubled, and it can attack all opponent's monsters once each."

[Phantom Demon Emperor Rabbiel (10th level) Dark] [Demon/Special Summon/Effect ATK:4000→8000 DEF:4000]

"Open the face card [Curse of the Hexagram], and you can select 1 monster on your opponent's field to activate it."

"The selected monster cannot attack or change its position. When the selected monster is destroyed, this card is destroyed."

The hexagram is also known as the Seal of Solomon and is closely related to mysticism. The prototype of the Demon King Rabbi Al is Raphael, one of the Four Archangels. This scene is quite strange.

"You're getting impatient, Ryuuen-san."

Kagemaru smiled and shook his head.

"Banish the [Phantom Summoning God] in the Graveyard, and then I can add 1 [Dimensional Fusion Kill] from the Deck to my hand."

"Then I activate the effect of [Dimensional Fusion Kill], banishing the Fusion Material Monsters determined by the Phantom Fusion Monster Card from my hand, field, or graveyard, and Special Summoning 1 of that Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck, ignoring the summoning conditions."

"Battle Damage to yourself caused by a battle with a monster Special Summoned by this effect becomes 0."

"When you have [Uriah, the Divine Flame Emperor], [Hammon, the Thunder Emperor], or [Rabiel, the Phantom Demon Emperor] on your field, your opponent cannot activate the effect of this card."

In the demon's shadow, the Divine Flame Emperor and the Thunder Emperor of the cemetery slowly appeared on both sides of the Phantom Demon Emperor. Then the three of them turned into points of light, entangled with each other, and revealed a new and terrifying appearance.

[Chaos Phantom Amitel (12th level) Dark] [Demon/Fusion/Effect ATK: 0→10000 DEF: 0]

With Amitel's Dimension Slash, the spiral broke into two sections, and Ryuen Sho's health value also became 0.

I lost. I'm sorry that I couldn't satisfy Lord Phantom Demon.

Ryuen Sho closed his eyes helplessly and accepted his defeat.

"Don't be discouraged, kid. There are only a few people who can see this guy."

Yingmaru patted Ryuen's shoulder and said meaningfully.

From the moment Rabbi Al entered the scene, the outcome would not have changed.

Even if Ryuen Sho used [Curse of the Hexagram] to stop Kagemaru's attack during the battle phase, he could still use [Dimensional Fusion Kill] to summon another Ultimate Phantom Demon.

[Chaos Phantom Amitel - Void Phantom Luo Shengmen]

[①: As long as this card exists in the Monster Zone, its card name is treated as Chaos Phantom Amitair.]

[②: Once per turn, you can activate this card during your Main Phase. Control of this card transfers to your opponent.]

[③: Activate during the End Phase of the turn this card transfers control. Banish all cards you control. Afterwards, this card's original owner can Special Summon 1 Chaos Phantom Amitair from their Extra Deck, ignoring the Summoning Conditions.]

Long Yuan waved his hand and jumped directly off the altar which brought him only shame and failure.

However, he may fail, but he will never be defeated. No matter how many times he loses, he will win in the end.

With this thought in mind, Ryuen Sho clenched his fists. At the same time, he became the biggest loser in this special exam.

The next person to challenge Kagemaru was Marufuji Ryo. Unlike Ryuen Sho, Marufuji Ryo had not even seen the Chaos Phantom Demon.
