Chapter 1308: Super-Magical Ripple Slash

The dazzling golden light, as if even the most extreme darkness in the world would be cut into pieces by this sword-like brilliance. Then the golden puzzle seemed to burn, Yugi Mutou closed his eyes instinctively, and the next second his momentum changed drastically, as if he had changed into another person.

Substitute, log in!

The legendary nameless Pharaoh, the king who stood at the peak of the duel world three thousand years ago, the other Yugi slowly opened his eyes, his eyes slashing at Victor like sharp swords.

For some reason, just being swept by the gaze of these eyes, Victor felt a chill in his heart instinctively, and his breathing seemed to slow down by half a beat.

This person is the legendary Pharaoh, Victor thought to himself.

The Dark Yugi did not directly move against the opponent after appearing, but raised his eyes to look at Fujiki You Xuan's direction in the high place, and smiled at him: "Thank you, stranger."

Fujiki You Xuan took back the Millennium Puzzle that was almost taken away from Max, and even saved Rebecca who was used by the enemy. The two Yugis and Fujiki You Xuan were just passing acquaintances, but they already owed him a big favor.

But Fujiki You Xuan just waved his hand indifferently and said casually: "Well, it's just a small effort, not worth mentioning. You guys just clean up that arrogant jumping clown on the opposite side."

Dark Yugi smiled confidently: "Exactly my intention."

Victor saw the opponent's contemptuous attitude, and couldn't help but feel angry, snorted and said: "The King who arrived late is too late. Even if it is the legendary Pharaoh, what else can you do in such a situation..."

"Don't get it wrong." Dark Yugi said coldly, "It's not me who is going to clean you up."

Victor: "?"

"This is my AIBO's (partner's) duel, not mine. He doesn't need me at all." Dark Yugi said lightly, "This guy is very strong, stronger than anyone imagined. Because I am the partner who is inseparable from him, I understand this better than anyone else."

The phantom of the surface Yugi appeared behind him, his eyes a little moved: "Another me..."

"It's okay, you can win, an enemy of this level is not your opponent at all." Dark Yugi smiled at him, "What you lack is just the confidence to win. Believe in your own strength, believe in your own cards, and you will never lose to anyone. I know."

"Another me..." Surface Yugi took a deep breath and closed his eyes lightly.

The Millennium Puzzle flashed with light again. After the brilliance, the personality had been exchanged again, and it became the surface Yugi.

Surface Yugi opened his eyes again, full of determination.

"I understand, another me. I won't let you down, and I will become an independent duelist... no," he had already put on the Millennium Puzzle again, and subconsciously clenched the chain of the puzzle, "I will become... a Duel King who can stand on his own!"

Dark Yugi smiled, just watching silently from behind, without speaking.

Yes, you won't lose to anyone.

And sooner or later, even I...

"..."

"My turn, draw!" Yugi raised the card in his hand high, "Activate the Spell Card 'Card of Sanctity'! Both sides draw cards from the Deck until they have six cards in their hands!"

Victor drew six cards with him, and said disdainfully: "Drawing cards is quite powerful, but even if you draw more cards with such a primitive deck..."

"Activate the Spell Card 'Monster Reborn'!" Yugi said, "This card can revive a monster from the Graveyard, I want to revive 'Dark Magician' from the Graveyard!"

The huge resurrection symbol appeared in mid-air, then turned into green light energy and disintegrated, re-condensing into a dark green hexagram magic circle.

The emerald staff flew out from the hexagram magic circle while spinning, and the black-robed magician with a slender figure flew out in the surging magic storm, the staff spinning like a windmill in his hand.

【Dark Magician, ATK 2500】

The only monster "Marshmallon" on Yugi's field in the last turn was stolen by the opponent, so Victor couldn't destroy the monster in battle with Crimson Blader. Therefore, the summoning suppression Yugi received on this side was lifted.

Victor: "Heh, finally summoned the ace back? But vanilla is vanilla, what difference can it make to the situation even if you call this thing back?"

"Of course it's different!" Yugi said firmly, "Dark Magician... this card is a symbol of the bond between me and another me! No matter when, our bond will never be cut off, and as long as this bond is there, I will absolutely never lose!"

Yes, it must never be cut off.

Yugi's eyes were firm.

Even if one day in the near future, we have to be separated by heaven and man...

They had never seriously talked about this, but deep down, they actually knew that this day would come sooner or later.

Dark Yugi is the Pharaoh of three thousand years ago, a person who should have passed away long ago. The dead should return to the Underworld, the soul should find peace, and separation is inevitable.

Then, even if it is to let the other self not worry about him and rest assured to go on the road, he must prove himself. Prove that even with his own strength, it is enough to keep the title of "Duel King" they built together.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Fusion'!" Yugi said, "Fuse 'Buster Blader' in my hand and 'Dark Magician' on the field! Fusion Summon—"

"—Dark Paladin!"

The fusion of Yugi's two major aces, Dark Magician and Buster Blader. The magic sword dedicated to Dragon-type, combining the characteristics of a mage and a swordsman, not only has high beauty, but also served as the final killing task every time it appeared in the anime, and has never been defeated until the end.

【Dark Paladin, ATK 2900】

"Dark Paladin's ATK increases by 500 points for each Dragon-type monster on both sides' fields and Graveyards!" Yugi said, "Although the Dragon-type monsters in your Graveyard have all been banished from the game, you still have 'Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos' on the field, Dark Paladin's ATK increases by 500!"

【Dark Paladin, ATK 2900 → ATK 3400】

Victor: "That's only 3400 ATK..."

"Next, activate the Spell Card 'Diffusion Wave-Motion'!" Yugi said, "Pay 1000 Life Points, select one Spellcaster-type monster on my field, and it can attack all monsters on the opponent's field this turn!"

【Yugi, LP 1200 → LP 200】

Victor: "Heh, primitive. I said it, stacking ATK and additional attacks, this kind of outdated means that worships battle..."

"Nani!?"

The Academy cadre with a slightly slow reaction suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Wait, although ATK is not important, but 4900 ATK attacking five times...

Dracossack will take 1300 damage when attacked, Big Eye will take 1300 damage when attacked, Crimson Blader will take 1100 damage when attacked, Blaster, Dragon Ruler of Infernos will take another 1100 damage when attacked...

Total damage 4800!

【Victor, LP 4800】

Victor, who quickly completed the mental calculation, had a distorted expression and was shocked in his heart, but only full of anger erupted like a volcano, and a voice in the bottom of his heart was screaming—

—This is impossible!

The invincible Victor Rex, an Academy commander-level cadre, holding a Dragon Ruler deck that is invincible, would actually lose to a primitive!

Using a pile of vanilla monsters, using such an ancient card pile in a museum, I would lose to this kind of thing!?

Fujiki You Xuan also showed an interested expression.

All are ancient old cards, classic COMBO, but they reveal a simple beauty of the Great Dao in a different way.

The move is not old, just good to use.

However, one thing made him a bit surprised. This COMBO gave Fujiki You Xuan the feeling that it was more like Atum's ultimate move than the surface Yugi's, and Fujiki You Xuan felt that this card play was a bit too sunny for the surface Yugi...

But thinking about it, it's not impossible to understand. After all, strictly speaking, the surface Yugi is still using Atum's deck, and his own dueling style is probably still in the stage of exploration and thinking, and hasn't taken shape yet.

Thinking of this, Fujiki You Xuan couldn't help but support his chin.

I don't know if I can give the surface Yugi some exploration inspiration in advance. Fujiki You Xuan felt that his own development ideas were probably more suitable for Yugi's predecessor...

"Dark Paladin!" Yugi said, "Super-Magical Ripple Slash!!!"

The magic swordsman raised his staff, the diffused wave turned into thousands of split crescent sword energy, the magic sword energy surged out, and instantly dismembered Victor's all-star luxury lineup!

Victor: "What a joke, ah ah ah—"

【Victor, LP 4800 → LP 0】 ===== CHAPTER 1309 =====

These are all ancient, old-school cards, a classic combo, yet they possess a uniquely simple aesthetic of the Dao being found in the mundane.

A trick doesn't have to be new; as long as it works, that's all that matters.

However, one thing did surprise him. This combo felt more like Yami Yugi's signature move to Fujiki You Xuan than Yugi Muto's; as for Yugi Muto, Fujiki You Xuan felt this play was a bit too "sunny."

But upon second thought, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible. After all, strictly speaking, Yugi Muto was still using Yami Yugi's deck, and his own dueling style was likely still in the stage of exploration and contemplation, not yet fully formed.

Thinking of this, Fujiki You Xuan couldn't help but rest his chin in his hand.

He wondered if he could provide Yugi Muto with some early inspiration for his exploration; Fujiki You Xuan felt that the line of thought he had pioneered was probably quite suitable for Yugi-senpai.

"Magician of Black Chaos - Dark Paladin!" Yugi declared. "Magical Wave Slash!!!"

The Magician raised the staff in his hand, and the diffusing waves transformed into thousands of crescent-shaped sword auras. The magical sword energy surged out, instantly dismembering Victor's entire all-star luxury lineup!

Victor: "Are you kidding me—"
