Chapter 323

"Good, then my turn, draw!"

Yugi's morale remained undiminished.

The Necro frowned.

Destiny Board was his favorite tactic, not only because it was easy to use, but also because he liked to watch his opponents being pushed to the brink step by step, from futile struggle to helpless despair in the face of visibly approaching death, gradually losing their minds until they fell into the abyss.

He enjoyed the process of his opponents struggling like this.

But today, this boy, even after reaching this point, his fighting spirit hadn't faded in the slightest... no, or should it be said that the more desperate the situation, the stronger his fighting spirit seemed to be?

After pondering for a moment, he really couldn't help but ask: "You guy... don't you feel afraid at all?"

"Ah?" Yugi was stunned, "Afraid of what?"

Afraid of what? Does he even need to ask?

The Necro felt more and more that this person's brain was abnormal: "Don't you know that people who lose a duel in this seal will lose their souls?"

"Oh, that." Yugi nodded, "If you're asking if I'm afraid of death, of course I am. How scary it is to die; if I die, I won't have a chance to duel anymore, right?"

The Necro: "..."

No, you seem to have gotten the point wrong...

"However, compared to that, I am currently having a white-hot duel with a legendary out-of-print deck." Yugi chuckled, "Doing something so interesting, I don't have time to be afraid, right?"

The Necro: "..."

What are you saying? Why can't I seem to understand?

He was now convinced that this person definitely had a problem with his brain.

This is already a level of card obsession that has reached the point of logical confusion, right?

"Besides, although you said I'd die if I lose, wouldn't it be fine if I just win?" Yugi said carelessly.

"Heh, a joke. This is already your last turn; the moment the turn ends and the Death Messages are gathered, it's your defeat. In this situation, how are you going to win?"

"I don't know." Yugi said frankly.

The Necro: "?"

"It's more interesting precisely because I don't know; even I don't know how to break this situation right now." Yugi's eyes showed excitement, "But that's what makes dueling fun. Who knows what will happen next?"

The Necro: "???"

No, the more you say that, the harder it is for me to understand...

"First, I'll leave it to this card, Spell card 'Fusion Birth'!" (Original card)

Yugi played the Spell card from his hand.

"Send the top five cards of the deck to the Graveyard; if there are Fusion Materials that exactly meet the conditions, I can use those materials to perform a Fusion Summon for a Fusion monster!"

The Necro frowned: "Leaving it entirely to luck..."

"It's not luck, it's skill. I'm still very confident in my ability to draw cards." Yugi was full of confidence, "Although I don't know what these five cards will turn up, I always believe in my deck!

Draw!"

Five draws in one breath.

Yugi's eyes lit up, and he immediately revealed two of them.

"'Elemental HERO Bubbleman', and the monster 'King of the Swamp' that has the ability to substitute for any Fusion Material!" Yugi said, "I use 'King of the Swamp' to substitute for 'Elemental HERO Avian', and fuse it with 'Elemental HERO Bubbleman'!

The wings that command the wind and the hero with the power of water, combine your powers—

—Elemental HERO Mariner, Fusion Summon!"

【Elemental HERO Mariner, ATK 1400】

"Mariner?" The Necro was puzzled.

A Fusion HERO with only 1400 ATK...

"I set one card from my hand to the back row." Yugi smiled, "The effect of 'Elemental HERO Mariner'. When Mariner has a card set in my Spell and Trap zone, this card can attack the opponent player directly."

The Necro realized: "I see. Since you can't defeat Marshmallon, you choose to bypass the front-line defense and attack me directly."

He paused, then chuckled: "However, Mariner's ATK is only 1400. Even if you attack directly, I still have 1100 Life Points left.

And as long as you can't defeat me this turn, it's your defeat..."

"I know. But the cards sent to the Graveyard by 'Fusion Birth' just now weren't just Bubbleman and King of the Swamp."

As Yugi spoke, a translucent HERO phantom appeared behind him.

Elemental HERO Necroshade.

"The one discarded just now was 'Elemental HERO Necroshade'. When this card is in the Graveyard, I have one chance to summon an 'Elemental HERO' high-level monster without Tributes."

Yugi played another monster card from his hand.

"Therefore, I Normal Summon 'Elemental HERO Bladedge' without Tributes!"

【Elemental HERO Bladedge, ATK 2600】

The Necro's expression changed slightly: "This guy's effect..."

"That's right, when Elemental HERO Bladedge attacks a Defense Position monster, it can deal piercing damage." Yugi said, "Even if the monster can't be destroyed, battle damage can still be calculated as usual!"

Marshmallon's DEF is 500, and Bladedge attacking Marshmallon will deal 2100 piercing damage. Plus Mariner's direct attack, the two attacks combined can deal a massive 3500 output in one breath.

【Necro, LP2500】

"I see, in that case, the output can indeed reach it. But did you forget something..."

The Necro narrowed his eyes.

"Whether it's Bladedge or Mariner, their levels are all 4 or higher. Under the restriction of 'Gravity Bind', they cannot attack."

"Of course I know." Yugi said, "Therefore, activate face-down card, Trap card 'Trap Stun'. In this way, within this turn, all Traps on the field except this card are negated."

"Hahahaha!" The Necro laughed loudly, "Beautiful, a very good struggle! In such a situation, to be able to make such a counterattack in the last turn... you're not bad, much stronger than I expected."

His expression looked even more ferocious and twisted under that wild laughter.

"Precisely because of this, you are an even more delicious prey!

Then, before 'Trap Stun' takes effect, chain this card and activate Trap card 'Providence'!

This card can only be activated during the opponent's Main Phase 1. Choose one monster on your field; as long as the chosen monster exists on the field, if the opponent attacks this turn, they can only target the chosen monster for an attack!"

"Eh?" Yugi was stunned.

Can only attack a specific monster, which means...

He looked at Marshmallon.

"Hahaha, not bad, so this turn, your 'Elemental HERO Mariner' cannot attack directly, it can only attack my 'Marshmallon'."

The Necro laughed sinisterly.

"And Mariner has no piercing effect when attacking a Defense Position monster, so I will ultimately only take 2100 points of piercing damage from Bladedge, and my Life Points will still have 400 left.

And you have no other means of attack."

This Trap card meant he was forced to defeat Marshmallon first.

"It's really hard for you to have struggled to this point, student Yugi. Relying only on the five blind draws from 'Fusion Birth' to create such a desperate counterattack situation in one breath... No wonder you said you were very confident in drawing cards, I can understand now.

You might indeed be the kind of duelist who possesses top-tier talent."

The Necro laughed gloomily.

"However, it's useless. All your struggles are meaningless, they just make the process of your despair more wonderful.

At the end of this turn, the Death Message of Destiny Board will be completed, you have no chance at all!"

Yugi: "Ah, that seems to be a bit troublesome indeed..."

"... That's not necessarily true."

A voice came from one side of the two. During the duel, both of them subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

The Necro's pupils contracted when he saw the person who came.

Fujiki You Xuan?
