Chapter 420

"Attack of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!"

Kaiba shouted loudly.

"Attack 'Torture Token'!!!"

【Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, ATK 4800】

【Torture Token, ATK 0】

The token summoned by Torture Golem must exist in Attack Position, which seemed to have become a major flaw on You Xuan's field. The attack of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon would end this entire match.

But Kaiba frowned slightly.

Could it really be this simple?

This guy in front of him, would he really just...

As expected. The moment the destructive strike of Shining Dragon was launched, a strong electromagnetic spark burst out. A powerful invisible repulsive force bounced back the light bomb and body launched by Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, and the white light that seemed to pierce through space also flew into the sky, not knowing where it went.

"Eh?" Mokuba was shocked. "But Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon can choose not to accept any effects, why would the attack be..."

Kaiba caught a glimpse of the fleeting shadow of a turtle-like monster on You Xuan's field and snorted softly.

"That guy's monster again, huh..."

"Electromagnetic Turtle in the Graveyard."

You Xuan revealed the card ejected from the Graveyard.

"During the opponent's turn, banish this card from the Graveyard to forcibly end the Battle Phase," You Xuan smiled. "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon doesn't accept card effects, but this is not an effect that acts on the monster."

"Even a monster that surpasses the gods cannot change the rules of the duel. Forcibly ending the Battle Phase naturally makes the attack invalid."

Kaiba smiled slightly.

It was the same situation back then.

"..."

Kaiba: "Obelisk the Tormentor, tear Slifer the Sky Dragon to shreds!"

"The effect of Electromagnetic Turtle in the Graveyard..."

"Muda! The effect of a small-fry monster is useless against a god!"

"I know, but it's not an effect against a god," Dark Yugi said. "Electromagnetic Turtle can forcibly end the Battle Phase, so even a god's attack is meaningless!"

"..."

It was always that annoying attitude, but precisely because of that, that person was so important to him.

For Kaiba, the duel with that person was always full of strategy and spirit, a battle on the brink of the limit, no matter how many times, it could always push him to a new limit.

That person's existence itself would make his whole body boil with blood.

This is also why he couldn't forgive that guy for so many years, after arrogantly taking victory from his hands, he just walked away with the posture of a winner.

And at this moment, with this duel, he actually felt more and more vaguely that he saw a shadow of that guy on the young man in front of him.

Is it an illusion?

It doesn't matter anymore.

The only thing that matters is that this is exactly the kind of battle he has been pursuing for many years, the kind he identifies with.

"I set two more cards, turn end."

Kaiba swept his arm, and two more face-down cards fell.

The situation was indeed very unfavorable for You Xuan.

The deck Kaiba used had indeed surpassed the environment of this entire generation, and now he had even pulled out a big killer like 'Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon'.

"Fully-resistant Ultimate Dragon and Shining Dragon, things like these keep popping out one after another, not even a single turn of buffer, the President really doesn't let anyone rest..."

You Xuan smiled helplessly.

Well, the outcome of this duel didn't matter anymore. He was just testing his own limits, and he hadn't cared about winning or losing for a long time.

No fear of defeat, nor obsession with victory. Just as Judai often said, just immerse yourself in the duel with all your might, and live in this moment as much as you can.

"My turn, draw!"

At that moment, the Sealing Vessel seemed to flash. The Eye of Horus flashed with golden light.

Kaiba's pupils contracted slightly.

That feeling of 'power', this aura that makes one's blood boil...

"During the Standby Phase of this turn, the effect of 'TakeOver5' in the Graveyard activates. Banish this card and the card with the same name in the Deck from the game, and draw another card from the Deck."

The Spell Card disappeared in the flickering golden light, and You Xuan drew another card.

"But during the Standby Phase, Lava Golem also has side effects," Kaiba said coldly.

You Xuan nodded: "I know. During the Standby Phase, the controller takes 1000 points of damage."

【You Xuan, LP 1850 -> LP 850】

The 'dullard' made a vague sound, hanging its head as if expressing frustration. But You Xuan didn't care, just smiled slightly: "Small problem."

Following that, he revealed another card in his hand.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Tribute Draw'," You Xuan said. "Tribute the Level 8 'Lava Golem' on the field to draw two cards from the Deck."

Lava Golem melted and dissipated, entering his Graveyard. You Xuan drew two cards.

Then he slowly pulled out one of the cards he drew.

"Then I activate this card..."

He raised his arm, and the image of a green card fell onto the field.

"Spell Card 'Fusion Birth'!" (Original card)

Judai almost jumped up.

"Ah! It's the same card as mine!"

"Oh?" Kaiba said. "Want to use Fusion at this time?"

"'Fusion Birth', send five cards from the top of the Deck to the Graveyard," You Xuan said. "If there happen to be fusion material monsters that meet the fusion conditions among them, then I can perform a Fusion Summon for the corresponding Fusion Monster!"

"If you can draw them," Kaiba chuckled.

You Xuan nodded: "If I can draw them."

Marufuji Ryo muttered: "Have you completely entrusted the outcome to the draw..."

It's really rare for this guy... But after all, the opponent is that Kaiba Seto.

It means that it has reached the point where it's hard to win without relying on such means, right?

Having said that...

Kaiba narrowed his eyes, maintaining a chuckle.

Come on, show me, Fujiki You Xuan.

Your glorious moment as a duelist.

"Draw!"

Five cards in hand at once.

Two of them immediately burst into golden light, turning into images of monsters and flying into the air. A majestic warrior in blue armor holding a heavy sword, and a dragon warrior wearing armor.

"Among the cards I drew, there are these two."

You Xuan said.

"'Buster Blader', and the Dragon-Type monster 'Troop Dragon'!"

"'Buster Blader'!?" Mokuba exclaimed.

Following that, he immediately thought, oh right. After defeating Gozaburo, Buster Blader was handed over to You Xuan. With brother as the opponent, there's no reason for You Xuan not to bring this...

This is the real final killer for the White Dragon.

And similarly, it is also a derivative series of cards used by Atem.

"The fusion condition is 'Buster Blader' plus any Dragon-Type monster," You Xuan said. "Fuse Buster Blader and 'Troop Dragon'!"

"The ultimate Dragon-Destroying Swordsman, open up the future with that dragon-slaying blade—"

"—Dark Paladin, summon!!!"

Having obtained the power of the Dragon-Type and completed the final evolution, the ultimate Buster Blader! Thick armor, a dragon-slaying greatsword in hand, eyes flashing with sharp light like rubies.

The swordsman descended, facing the god-like White Dragon, hand on the hilt, not afraid at all.

【Dark Paladin, ATK 2800】

This card was exclusively developed by Gozaburo's ghost to counter Kaiba, and others were seeing it for the first time, all shocked by the swordsman's astonishing aura for a moment.

"So cool!" Judai was shocked. "When did You Xuan quietly get such a powerful monster?"

"The effect of Dark Paladin," You Xuan said. "First, as long as this card is on the field, all Dragon-Type monsters on the opponent's field are changed to Defense Position, and their monster effects cannot be activated!"

Once this was said, the onlookers were even more shocked.

Nani?

What kind of 'Dragon-Type must die' effect is this!?

The cards with the President will naturally be long, and the next decisive battle will also be long.

But these are the last two, and the competition will naturally return to the rhythm of one match per day after it ends.
