Chapter 18 Declaration of Victory
"Then let's move on to the main phase of my turn."

Ryuzaki ran his fingertips lightly over his refilled hand and sneered.

"You were very arrogant in the previous rounds, kid. But this is it. This round of the duel ends here!"

He showed three cards in one breath: "I'm going to activate the magic card 'Fusion'!
Merge the 'Sprint Raptor' and 'Brutal Pterosaur' in your hand! "

Magic cards emerged, and the dinosaur figure was released from his hand onto the field, being sucked into the fused black vortex. Pitch-black lightning was released from it, striking down gorgeously on the field, exploding into streams of black smoke.

"The Lord of the Abyss and Hell awakens from the endless abyss of darkness. Fusion Summoning -

——Level 6, Hellhorn Dragon!” (Animation Card)
[Hellhorn Dragon, attack power 2000]

This is an unrealized animated card. It is one of the new trump cards of Dinosaur Ryuzaki in DM after his Red-Eyes and Evil Knight Dragon were taken away one after another.

"It's not over yet!"

Ryuzaki continued.

"Then activate the Spell Card 'Resurrection of the Dead'! Use this card to revive the powerful dinosaur sleeping in my graveyard!"

The sacred mark of Sisu appeared in mid-air, and a card popped out from the graveyard area of ​​the duel disk with golden light.

"I resurrected this card from the graveyard, the absolute king of dinosaurs—

——Dark Terror Beast!”

The pitch-black dinosaur emerged from the vortex of the underworld with a roar, raised its head and roared, and its huge tail lashed the ground, exploding a cloud of dust into the sky.

[Dark Terror Beast, Attack Power 2600]

"Huh? Dark Terror Beast?" The commentator Xiaodu was surprised, "When did this kind of monster appear?"

"When we first used Angel's Charity," said commentator Sasaki. "It turns out that we had planned everything from the beginning. After being defeated in that situation, we were able to organize such a powerful counterattack immediately this round.
As expected of a legendary duelist."

"I see. That's really impressive. But why didn't you revive the Triangle Dragon?" The commentator Xiaodu asked curiously, "The Triangle Dragon should have a higher attack power."

Commentator Sasaki smiled mysteriously: "Haha, because Ryuzaki seems to have the means to win, you will know when you see it."

Two more big monsters appeared, and Long Qi laughed triumphantly again: "How about the power of my dinosaurs! The ultimate strong attack, the absolute power suppression to crush the opponent, this is my duel now!

I am different now, and I am stronger than ever before!"

However, when You Xuan looked at the dark beast, he had only one thought in his mind.

Ryuuzaki, why are you using the card of Tendai's younger brother Kenzan?
His only impression of this dinosaur was that it was Kenzan's trump card when he first appeared in the anime, and once put Judai in a tough fight. But of course, in the end, it was defeated by the God Dog, and then Kenzan was taken in as Judai's younger brother.

"Then I activated the Spell Card 'Attack Block' from my hand!
This card can forcibly change a monster in Attack Position on your opponent's field to Defense Status! "

Ryuzaki waved his hand and pointed at the mecha fortress on the Yugen Field.

"I put the 'Mecha Unit Fortress' into defense mode!"

[Mecha Unit Fortress, Attack Power 2500 → Defense Power 1600]

"I see." You Xuan understood, "Dark Terror Beast is a card that can attack the player directly without attacking monsters on the opponent's field. (Animation effect)

That’s the idea.”

"Wow, I've seen a lot, newbie." Long Qi wiped his nose and chuckled, "Yes, this is my tactic.

And the 'Hellhorn Dragon' on my field can also attack the opponent directly only during the turn it is fusion summoned! "

The audience was suddenly in an uproar again.

"Two consecutive direct attacks with 2600 ATK and 2000 ATK! And they can ignore the opponent's monsters!" The commentator Xiaodu exclaimed, "Isn't this a direct OTK (one-time kill)!?"

"Yes, this is Ryuzaki's tactic." Sasaki said, "It is indeed an absolute suppression of power. This strength is really amazing."

A flying dragon hits my face, and two of them are fired in a row. How can I lose?
"Go ahead, first up is the Dark Terror! Use its monster effect to bypass the Mecha Fortress and attack the player directly!"

The dark beast roared and rushed forward with a rumble, stirring up a thick dust curtain behind its swinging tail. It passed over the mecha fortress and tried to bite You Xuan.

"Then open the face card and activate the trap - Temptation of the Earthbound Spirit!" You Xuan raised his hand, "Activate when the opponent's monster declares an attack. The target of the attack can be re-selected by yourself."

He pointed to the mecha on his field.

"I designate the 'Mecha Unit Fortress' as the target of the 'Dark Terror Beast'."

"Tsk." Ryuzaki curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "Using this little trick to avoid being OTK?
But the attack power is still higher than that of the Dark Terrorbeast! Then, Dark Terrorbeast, get rid of that annoying mecha first! "

[Mecha Troops·Fortress, Defense Strength 1600]

The fortress that was being transferred to defense was naturally no match for the fierce dark dinosaur. The beast roared and rushed over, tearing the huge fortress into pieces in a few bites, and the parts flew and exploded with black smoke. In just a moment, it turned into scrap metal with a series of loud explosions.

"what?"

The commentator Xiaodu was stunned.

"Strange, the mechanical skeleton's effect didn't work?"

It stands to reason that You Xuan's mecha fortress is now equipped with the "Mecha Corps·Mechanical Skeleton", and the skeleton should have the effect of being able to withstand one destruction on behalf of the equipped monster.

Why didn't it start?
Ryuzaki also vaguely felt that something was wrong, and that premonition immediately came true.

"At this moment, another effect of 'Mecha Unit Fortress' is activated."

You Xuan showed the fortress card again before sending it to the grave.

"If this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you may destroy a card on your opponent's field. The card I want to destroy is, of course, this one."

He pointed at the dragon on Ryugasaki's field that hadn't yet launched an attack.

"Hellhorn dragon!"

Before the fortress exploded, it fired its main gun for the last time, exploding like a barrel. The last shot, the last shot before death, hit the head of the Hellhorn Dragon on the Ryuzaki field. The dragon howled miserably and was blown to pieces by the power of modern artillery fire. "Damn it." Ryuzaki gritted his teeth.

"Pretty pretty pretty!"

The commentator Xiaodu stood up from his seat and unconsciously began to give thumbs up to You Xuan.

“With just one attack and defense, he not only blocked Ryuzaki’s second attack, but also destroyed his fusion trump card!

Ryuki's two-hit face-riding combo was easily defused by Youxuan. At this point, Youxuan's health was still 4,000 points, completely unscathed!
The legendary duelist's continuous and fierce attacks have yet to break through his defense even a little bit!"

“It was totally unexpected.”

Commentator Sasaki also said.

"Fujiki Yugen. What an incredible newcomer. Even if someone told me now that this is actually a professional player wearing a human skin mask, I would believe it."

It is unbelievable to say that he is a newcomer, as he could fight the legendary Ryuzaki to such an extent.

"Then put two cards on the field, and the turn is over."

The attack was unsuccessful again, and Ryuzaki was a little depressed. But fortunately, he had regained the advantage on the field.

The Dark Terror Beast has a powerful attack power of 2,600, and although the opponent defended the attack, the field was cleared. Moreover, he has a very powerful backcourt in this round, so it should be stable.

"Pick the card."

After drawing the card, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Well, what a shame. It looks like you may not get a next turn."

Ryuzaki: “!”

Not only him, but all the commentators and audience were shocked by this shocking statement.

What did they just hear?

A victory declaration?

"What an astonishing development!"

The commentator Xiaodu's entire upper body was almost sticking out of the table.

"Contestant Yugen declared victory over Ryuuzaki, the legendary Ryuuzaki!"

If he had said this at the beginning of the game, the whole audience might have been shocked and some might have laughed at this newcomer for being ignorant of the world and becoming too arrogant after winning a few games.

But after seeing his dominance in the duel in the last few rounds, few people feel this way anymore.

There was no sense of arrogance, and even when he was speaking, there was no sense of expansion or complacency. And this was the scariest part.

When he said this, his emotions were almost unchanged. It was as if he was just announcing a fact that was about to happen, without provocation or sarcasm, but just casually stating the result he already knew would definitely happen.

Long Qi was also shocked. He thought that his past experiences had tempered his iron mentality, but he never expected that the moment he heard those words, his legs and feet trembled uncontrollably and he almost fell down.

It was not only because of that moment just now, he thought that if he lost here, his journey to return as a king after years of seclusion would be interrupted in a mere secondary arena, losing to a newcomer with a blank resume.
Not only that.

Moreover, when he heard these words, he felt as if he had been convinced by the other party.

It was as if somewhere in his heart he couldn't help but believe this declaration.

Believe that you will win this round.

"What did you say?" Long Qi tried hard to shake off those thoughts.

impossible.

He has a big monster on the field and defense in the backfield, so the opponent can't get through.

Yes, it's definitely just bluffing.

"The effect of 'Mecha Troops Fortress' in the graveyard."

You Xuan calmly took the monster card that was withdrawn from the Duel Disk Graveyard area.

"This card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by discarding Machine-Type monsters in your hand with a total Level of 8 or higher."

He drew two cards.

"I will send my level 3 Mechanical-type Card Gunner and another level 7 Mechanical Unit Fortress to the Graveyard, and revive the Mechanical Unit Fortress in the Graveyard."

Two cards were sent to the graveyard in succession, and a storm of metal rolled up on the field. The fortress rose into the air again with the roar of its engines, and its guns and cannons were set up again.

[Mecha Troops·Fortress, Attack Power 2500]

"The effect of self-resurrection, is this the source of his confidence?" Ryuzaki narrowed his eyes and thought quickly in his mind, "So it seems that he has a card that can assist in combat."

The fortress's attack power is only 100 less than his Dark Terrorbeast, so it can be easily broken through with just some equipment.

Ryuzaki had to skip the next two card drawing phases because of the effect of "Reckless Greed" he activated. In other words, even if he survived this turn, he would be doomed if he failed to save his "Dark Terror Beast".

but
"Open Gaika!"

Trap flip in the backfield by Ryuuzaki.

"Trap Card - Enma's Judgment! It can directly destroy the opponent's special summoned monster!"

A black vortex opened up under his feet, and the mecha fortress that had returned to the scene was blown to pieces with a loud bang before it could even stand firm.

Ryuzaki laughed: "Hahaha! Using traps is not your specialty! So, can you still assert that you can kill me in this round!?"
