Chapter 413

VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon, Summon!

President Kaiba was a man of few words and ruthless actions, starting directly with the strongest form of the five-part Dragon Catapult Cannon combination.

And his offensive was still continuing.

"'VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon', effect activate!" Kaiba shouted. "Once per turn, I can banish any one card on the opponent's field from the game.

That eyesore of a wall monster, get off the field!"

The Dragon Catapult Cannon's electromagnetic weapon activated, roaring out of the muzzle like a blue thunder dragon. The electromagnetic shock, having broken free from its restraints, surpassed the speed of sound, tearing through everything and leaving behind trails of distorted light and shadow.

There was no deafening explosion, nor was there a spectacular scene of fire filling the sky. But space seemed to distort at that moment, and that lonely set card was destroyed by high temperature and electromagnetic force in an extremely short time, evaporating the creature covered beneath it along with the smallest specks of dust.

The image of Winged Kuriboh flashed briefly on the field, then faded into a phantom and dissipated.

"Ah, it's Winged Kuriboh," Yugi couldn't help but say.

His spirit also floated out to the side: "Kuri-kuri."

The tone sounded as if it felt regretful that its clone hadn't been able to play a role.

"Winged Kuriboh originally has the ability to negate any battle damage in the turn it is destroyed, and it works whether it's destroyed by battle or by a card's effect."

Yugi said regretfully.

"But if it's banished from the game, there's nothing that can be done."

Winged Kuriboh drooped its wings, expressing frustration: "Kuri."

"Kaiba Seto, he really is as terrifying a duelist as the rumors say," Marufuji Ryo also said. "Instantly clearing both the front and back rows, and even bypassing such a powerful defensive ability as Winged Kuriboh's."

He paused as he spoke, his brows furrowing tightly.

Sure enough, compared to this, he, who also advocated for strong attacks, still had a long way to go.

He looked at You Xuan at the same time, his gaze flickering.

With that Kaiba Seto as an opponent, Fujiki You Xuan... could he still successfully carry out his duel?

"Just this level is not enough!" Kaiba shouted. "'VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon', direct attack!"

Following the commander's order, the Dragon Catapult Cannon went all out. All weapons entered a state of full-power output simultaneously, and beams of dazzling light cut through the sky like falling stars, vaporizing everything in their path under the high temperature.

But just as that shot was about to hit, in front of You Xuan's field, a reliable figure appeared that was familiar yet strange to the President.

"Kuri-kuri!"

The golden spherical barrier steadily blocked the Dragon Catapult Cannon's fire.

Kuriboh Sphere!

"Discard 'Kuriboh' from my hand, effect activate," You Xuan said. "Discard it when the opponent's monster declares an attack, and change the attacking monster to Defense Position."

The mighty Dragon Catapult Cannon instantly went silent, its fire extinguished, and it crouched down, having no follow-up for the moment.

【VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon, ATK 3000 → DEF 2800】

Mokuba felt regretful: "Ah, Brother's perfect attack, it actually still didn't get through."

What else was there to say?

One could only say that Kuriboh is awesome.

"Hmph, in the end, you're still relying on small-fry monsters," Kaiba sneered. "Then I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Super Rejuvenation'.

Based on the number of Dragon-type monsters I used as offerings and discarded from my hand this turn, I draw cards from the deck during the End Phase."

You Xuan: "The President discarded cards this turn using the effects of 'Graceful Charity', 'XYZ-Dragon Cannon', and 'Trade-In'."

"Correct, a total of three Dragons were discarded," Kaiba said coldly. "Therefore, at the end of the turn, I can draw three cards from the deck."

He waved his arm, and blue data streams converged into the images of cards on his field.

"I set one card, turn end.

And upon entering the End Phase, I draw three cards!"

He drew three cards again.

"Come on, You Xuan! If you have grown into a duelist worthy of this stage, then prove it to me!"

You Xuan: "."

He couldn't understand why the President could be so full of energy at any time. And he wasn't young anymore, yet he was always full of "crush, destroy," "the winds of battle are howling," and so on, without fearing social death.

He really had spirit.

". My turn, draw."

You Xuan drew a card, scanned it once, and played it directly.

"Then I also activate the spell card 'Graceful Charity', draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from my hand."

After drawing, he slowly pulled one from his hand.

"I can feel it. It seems the President really was firing on all cylinders from the start of this duel. Then it seems I can't help but respond a little bit on my side."

A dark glint seemed to flash briefly in his eyes.

"Then... next, I'll have to rely on your power again."

He held up the card in his hand, and before it even fell to the field, an invisible cyclone seemed to whip up.

"Banish the Light-attribute 'Sacred Magician' and the Dark-attribute 'Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch' from the Graveyard!

The souls of Light and Dark are sacrificed to the field of Chaos, the legendary warrior descends here!

Heaven and Earth open—

——Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, Summon!!!"

On one side was Light, on the other was Dark, and two souls transformed into intersecting beams of light that flew into mid-air. The aura of Chaos erupted on the field, the swords of Light and Dark split space open, and the heavily armored knight, holding sword and shield, descended in the storm of Chaos!

【Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, ATK 3000】

"Heh, so it has appeared, the legendary warrior."

Kaiba's mouth curled upward.

Before his eyes, the image of an old friend seemed to flash briefly again.

That was his rival, who had also once commanded the Black Luster Soldier, and the moment he created a miracle by fusing his Black Luster Soldier and the Ultimate Dragon.

". Dragon Master Knight, did you know of this monster's existence from the beginning, Yugi?"

"If you believe it exists, it exists, Kaiba."

"."

The past was like smoke; ten years had passed, yet the voice and appearance of his old friend had not faded in the slightest in his memory.

Kaiba closed his eyes gently and returned to reality.

"Whether you have now become a duelist capable of commanding this guy," he said calmly, "let me confirm it myself."

You Xuan waved his hand: "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, attack 'VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon'!"

【VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon, DEF 2800】

Thanks to the invincible Kuriboh Sphere, the Dragon Catapult Cannon had already been changed to Defense Position.

The blade of Chaos slashed out, the sword aura of Light and Dark surged, and with one strike, it cut the Dragon Catapult Cannon in two. The huge mech immediately exploded, shattering into pieces along with the expanding fireball.

"At this moment, Envoy of the Beginning's effect," You Xuan said. "When it destroys an opponent's monster by battle, it has one chance to continue attacking.

Direct attack on President Kaiba!

Space-Time Piercing Blade - Beginning Double Slash!"
