Chapter 322

"My turn, draw!"

Yugi drew a card.

Destiny Board had two letters left, which meant he had two turns left to act.

That being said, he couldn't deal any damage to the opponent in any form this turn because of "One Day of Peace". So, he really only had the next turn to do something...

Thinking this, Yugi quickly scanned his hand.

Then a thought occurred to him.

No, it seems it's not that he can't do anything at all.

Although it seems he can't deal damage, that's not the only thing he can do. Destiny Board is a Continuous Trap, and every turn, a Continuous Spell representing a death message will fly out from the deck.

Only when five Traps and Spells are gathered on the field will the game be declared won.

Then maybe...

Yugi thought of something. He made up his mind and revealed a card in his hand: "Activate Spell card 'HERO's Legacy'! When there are two or more 'HERO' monsters level 4 or higher in my Graveyard, draw three cards from the deck!" (Original effect)

Yugi drew three cards.

"It's here!"

His eyes lit up, and he played a card from his hand.

"Spell card 'E - Emergency Call', I can add any 'Elemental HERO' from the deck to my hand!"

Yugi drew a card that popped out of the deck.

"I add 'Elemental HERO Avian' to my hand!

Then activate Spell card 'Polymerization'!"

The fusion vortex appeared, Avian's figure emerged on the field, and together with Wildheart, they turned into golden light and were drawn into the vortex. The two rays of light intertwined, and a transparent storm erupted, with feathers falling like heavy snow.

"Elemental HERO Wild Wingman, Fusion Summon!"

【Elemental HERO Wild Wingman, ATK 1900】

"Wild Wingman's effect, I can discard one card from my hand to destroy any Spell or Trap card on the field!"

Yugi drew a card from his hand and discarded it to the Graveyard.

"Destroy the Continuous Trap 'Destiny Board'!"

"I see, since you can't deal damage this turn, you're aiming for the back row." The Necro understood, "If Destiny Board is destroyed, all death messages will disappear.

And as long as 'Gravity Bind' is destroyed next, the attack lock will also be lifted..."

In that case, the situation would be reversed instantly. The reason the Necro had been able to use turtle-like defensive stalling tactics so unhurriedly was all based on the death countdown of Destiny Board.

Once Destiny Board was solved, he would lose his means of victory, and if he were chased and beaten by Yugi, it would naturally be very dangerous.

"Although Destiny Board and Death Messages are rule-based victories, they are ultimately just Spell and Trap cards. Once destroyed, everything will collapse... Hehe, did you think I would be unprepared for such an obvious weakness?"

The Necro laughed loudly.

"Activate face-down card, Counter Trap 'Divine Punishment'!"

"Ah?" Yugi was stunned.

He saw the Trap card flip over, and golden heavenly thunder descended from the black clouds, striking Wild Wingman on Yugi's field with a boom. The latter was instantly blasted into pieces by the lightning...

"Divine Punishment, by discarding one card from the hand, I can negate the activation of a monster effect and destroy it." The Necro laughed loudly, "What a pity. 'Elemental HERO Wild Wingman' can destroy the back row by discarding a card, and as long as there is enough ammunition, he can destroy any number of back row cards in one turn.

He is indeed the HERO most suitable for breaking this situation, and being able to summon this guy at this critical moment really shows you've got some skills. But it ends here; my duel is still superior."

He narrowed his eyes again, as if appreciating the sight of his prey struggling.

"Struggle with all your might. Only a defeat after struggling with all your might is more valuable, and the moment of defeat and death is more beautiful. Hehehe..."

"Wild Wingman couldn't get through either... then set one card, turn end."

Yugi felt a little regretful.

"Not bad. And the footsteps of death will not stop here."

The Necro laughed sinisterly again.

"In the End Phase of this turn, the effect of 'Destiny Board' activates again. Appear, the second-to-last Death Message!"

Another ghost floated out, holding a new letter.

The letter T.

With this, four letters D, E, A, T were gathered on the field, and only the final letter H remained until death. By the end of Yugi's next turn, the final letter would appear, and everything would truly be over.

"Eh?"

Yugi was stunned for a moment, and only then did he suddenly notice a blind spot.

"Wait, Destiny Board plus three Death Messages need to occupy four Spell and Trap zones, and you still have 'Gravity Bind' and face-down cards in your back row..."

As everyone knows, there are only five slots in the Spell and Trap zone, so the Necro's Spell and Trap slots should have been exceeded. This is actually another weakness of the "Destiny Board" system; in order to gather five death messages, one has to fill up the Spell and Trap zones, which will clog one's own slots.

"Heh, you're really slow, did you only notice now... Normally, yes. But as the chosen ones of God, our duels have already exceeded the constraints of common sense."

The Necro raised his voice and shouted.

"Another effect of 'The Seal of Orichalcos', the monster and Spell zones of the controller of the seal can be used interchangeably! My monsters can be summoned in the Spell and Trap zones, and Spell and Trap cards can also be activated in the monster zones!"

"Oh oh, so there's such an effect." Yugi was surprised, "Eh~ what an amazing ability, in that case, couldn't you summon ten monsters, or set ten Spell and Trap cards..."

"Suffer, struggle, and after struggling, feel despair, be swallowed by power! Hahahaha—"

The Necro laughed loudly.

"Then it's my turn again, draw!"

The Necro drew a card, then curled his lips.

"First, I activate this face-down card.

Continuous Trap - Safe Zone! This card can only be equipped to a monster in Attack Position, I equip it to 'Marshmallon' in Attack Position on my field!"

A layer of golden barrier like a shield field protected Marshmallon in the middle.

"Monsters protected by Safe Zone cannot be destroyed by battle or effects, and cannot be targeted by any effects!"

"Can't be destroyed by any means and can't be targeted either." Yugi said, "It's simply an impregnable wall, amazing."

"Not bad. Then I'll change 'Marshmallon' to Defense Position, and it becomes my strongest shield." The Necro sneered, "Now Marshmallon cannot be targeted by effects and cannot be destroyed; if you want to defeat me, you have to cross this absolute defense first.

Hehe, of course, before that, you only have this last turn left."

He paused and glanced at the cards in his hand.

"Well, although I feel it's almost foolproof, let me be a little more cautious..."

He drew that card from his hand and inserted it into the Duel Disk with a wave of his hand.

"Set one more card on the field, turn end."
