Chapter 1307: The Returned Puzzle

The resurrection vortex leading to the Graveyard opened, as if the King of the Underworld had opened his bloody mouth. Endless death aura permeated from the pitch-black vortex, and the cone-shaped giant object returned from the world of death, opened its huge single eye again, and released soul-shaking fluctuations from its eye.

【NO. 11 Big Eye, ATK 2600】

Yugi was startled: "Oh no, this eye again, its ability is..."

"Exactly! Activate the effect of NO. 11 Big Eye!" Victor pulled his throat and let out a frantic laugh, "Once per turn, detach one Xyz Material, and I can take control of a monster on the opponent's field... well, I don't have extra monster zones on my field for now, but it doesn't matter!"

As he spoke, he revealed another hand card: "Activate the Spell Card 'Token Harvest Festival', this card can destroy all tokens existing on the field, and I recover 800 Life Points for each one."

"I destroy the remaining Mecha Phantom Beast Tokens on my field and recover 800 Life Points!"

【Victor, LP 4000 → LP 4800】

In this way, the last monster zone was vacated!

Victor: "Then I detach one Xyz Material of Big Eye, no matter what that face-down monster of yours is, bring it to me!"

The Big Eye that had just been revived absorbed the last Xyz Material circling around it into that opened single eye, and that eye instantly burst out with eerie purple light, locking onto the face-down monster on Yugi's field. The back of the covered card seemed to flash with purple light fleetingly, and then the face-down monster dissipated, re-aggregated, and soon returned to the opponent's field.

"Let me see what it is... Ho, it's actually 'Marshmallon'." Victor checked the monster he stole and laughed loudly, "As expected of the Duel King of the old era, even if you use all old antique card piles, you are still quite tenacious."

Marshmallon, this card cannot be destroyed by battle, and if attacked in face-down state, it can also reflect 1000 damage to the opponent.

Yugi gritted his teeth. Even Marshmallon's defensive line was resolved...

"Facing me, your response and formation are already beautiful. But I also said, no matter how much you struggle, it's meaningless!" Victor said, "Because the gap between us is such an insurmountable chasm! It's a gap spanning several generations!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand again and said: "Battle! Use Crimson Blader to attack directly!"

There was no more obstacle, Yugi's front and back rows had been completely cleared, Crimson Blader had no obstacles, and the heat wave of sword energy slashed directly at Yugi.

Yugi's small body was blown away by the sword energy heat wave, his body couldn't help but roll twice in the storm, and he fell heavily to the ground.

【Yugi, LP 4000 → LP 1200】

Yugi got up panting, holding his left arm. That arm seemed to have been injured in the impact just now.

"This kind of impact, sure enough..." Yugi gritted his teeth, "It's real damage like a Shadow Duel."

"Ho, as expected of the first-generation King, do you also know about Shadow Duels?" Victor smiled, "But this is not a Shadow Duel, well, it's not wrong to understand it that way. In short, it's something similar to a Shadow Duel."

"The final blow, goodbye Duel King!" Victor's eyes were already full of beast-like excitement, "Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos, attack directly!"

The fatal blow, as if endless flames gathered into a vortex in the dragon's mouth, the burning flames formed a scorching tornado, releasing the final blow!

Yugi faced the curtain of heat that seemed endless, struggled to support his body, and used his trembling hand to draw another card from his hand.

"Discard Kuriboh from my hand!" Yugi said, "Make one battle damage 0!"

"Kuri Kuri!"

Kuriboh jumped out from his hand, opened a pair of small short hands and stood firmly in the field. The flame impact erupted on the fluffy little ball, and the flames washed away in all directions, failing to cause half a point of damage.

"What? Actually blocked it?" Victor frowned.

Although his field was now completely filled with monster zones and the lineup was incomparably luxurious, in fact, the only monsters that could attack were the two just now.

NO. 11 Big Eye cannot attack in the turn it used the control-stealing effect. Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack cannot attack in the turn it used the card-destroying effect. Besides that, there was only the "Marshmallon" stolen in face-down state on the field.

But if Dracossack and Big Eye don't use effects, they can't break through the defense line of Marshmallon plus Mirror Force. So although it seems that Yugi's formation was completely resolved, in a sense, he actually took this turn's offensive. "Hiss... fine, since you are so tenacious, what's the harm in letting you live one more turn?" Victor said, "Turn end. But it's just surviving for one more turn. Next turn, my Dragon Rulers will definitely end your legend."

Yugi panted, feeling his vision was already a bit scattered.

His physical strength was not good, and the impact of directly receiving real damage was not small for his body and spirit—and now there was no Millennium Puzzle to help him share it. At this time, he was still standing not because of external help, but entirely because of his tough mental strength.

"My... my turn..."

He tried to raise his hand to draw a card, but his footsteps swayed, and he almost couldn't stand firm.

At this moment, a voice came from the high place of this abandoned venue.

"Oh... it's actually Dragon Rulers, no wonder you are so confident."

Both looked up, only to see Fujiki You Xuan sitting on the railing of the high passage with his feet suspended, smiling and looking at the dueling arena below.

Victor frowned: "Who are you?"

Fujiki You Xuan didn't answer, just casually picked up the chain in his hand, the Millennium Puzzle that emitted divine golden light.

"Using something cross-generational like Dragon Rulers, and still using such despicable means to steal the Millennium Puzzle, I am suddenly curious about what kind of cowards and soft eggs your Academy is..."

Yugi's pupils contracted, and his consciousness seemed to be clear for a few points.

His Millennium Puzzle!

Victor also said gloomily: "That thing... should have been handed over to the responding Max. What did you do to Max?"

"Oh, that guy who used Wind-Up. He is quite powerful, wiping out my five cards from the start."

Fujiki You Xuan was expressionless, his tone was so casual that he was calm.

"I killed him in the second move."

Victor: "?"

What is this person saying? Why do I seem to not understand?

Judging from the first half of the sentence, it was obvious that Max should have gotten the first move. And Max's Wind-Up COMBO was indeed played, successfully wiping out the opponent's hand.

That is to say, the opponent killed Max in the second move without hand cards?

How is this possible? Are you also playing Dragon Rulers?

How could anyone in this dimension and this era win against their Academy cadre?

"My personal opinion, no matter what tactics or means are used in a duel, as long as you can win, it's fine. There is no such thing as despicable in decks and tactics. But if it's an off-board move, that's another matter... So although it's a bit late, let me make this duel a little fairer."

As he spoke, he threw the Millennium Puzzle directly.

"Mr. Yugi, catch."

Without him saying, Yugi had already jumped instinctively, took his Puzzle in mid-air.
