Chapter 388 The Road to Duel

Although one player was defeated in the first game, the insistence of Kaiba President did not cause any major impact on the game. After a short break, the second game of the quarterfinals soon arrived.

This time it was a civil war within the Duel Academy, and Judai-san happened to be facing Marufuji Ryo by sheer coincidence.

"Come to think of it, in this year's Duel City, three of the top eight are from Duel Academy." Keiping couldn't help but say, "There are quite a few professional players participating in the competition.
Are all students nowadays so outrageous? "

"Is it possible that today's professional players are not very good?" You Xuan said.

Keiping: “.”

You Xuan was not making this up. The animation performance of professional players in GX was not very good, but despite this stereotype, You Xuan still believed that seeing is believing, and he had never underestimated the professional circle of this world.

However, after testing it himself, he found that his previous stereotype was indeed reasonable.

Professional players are really not that good.

After all, as we all know, who among the best players in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh will go professional?
Marufuji Ryo is actually not in a very good condition now.

Being shaken about one's own path is very fatal to a duelist. Confusion will directly affect the performance in the duel. This is one of the reasons why he couldn't even beat passers-by in the original work after losing to Ed.

Although he doesn't feel the same blow of falling from the peak to hell as he did back then, his mentality has indeed been affected a lot.

However, at this moment, in the arena, as a duelist, all he could do was to temporarily put aside his doubts and force himself to devote himself to the duel in front of him.

"Come on, Caesar, let's fight again!" Judai said confidently, "I am different now than before!"

Marufuji Ryo, who seemed to be distracted, finally came to his senses, shook his head and forced himself to adjust his state, and unfolded the duel disk.

However, in reality, the duel did not go very well.

This is true for both parties.

"."

"Two turns have passed since the activation of the magic card 'Time Capsule'." Marufuji Ryo said, "In the preparation phase after two turns, add the card sealed in the 'Time Capsule' to your hand!"

“Oh, it’s coming.” Judai rubbed his nose, “But I can’t let you do that easily.

Activate the face-up card, the Trap Card 'Psychic Break'! I declare 'Power Combined', if you have that card in your hand you must discard it immediately!"

"Nani!?"

Marufuji Ryo was shocked.

"You actually knew that the card I added to my hand was a combination of power!?"

You Xuan, who was outside the venue, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

This feels just like when President Kaiba said to Atem in shock, "How did the damn game know that I was going to summon the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon?"
Marufuji Ryo has played cards for three years at Duel Academy and his tactics have never changed. The time capsule always retrieves his soul card "Power Binding". Even a slow-witted student like Judai has memorized it.

Marufuji Ryo looked at Judai with a dark face.

That look seemed to say, you have changed, your duels were not like this before.
Of course, this level of resistance could not stop Marufuji Ryo.

The duel between the two sides continued to be fierce, with the endless emergence of fusion heroes from the tenth generation, and Caesar's various electronic dragons jumping back and forth. The fight was fierce and chaotic.

"This year's Duel Academy is really strong." Keipi expressed similar sentiments more than once during the competition.

"Hmph, it's okay." said Kaiba.

His gaze lingered on Marufuji Ryo for a while.

Indeed, he seemed to see some shadows of his past self in this child. Such a similar style, the pursuit of extreme power and strong attack, once upon a time Kaiba also firmly believed that power was everything, this was true in reality, and even more so in duels.

But that was a long time ago. Now he has already passed that step and is moving towards a higher realm.

"Marufuji Ryo, that's interesting."

Kaiba crossed his arms and murmured, "Will you remain lost and stand still, or will you transform and become a truly powerful person?"

But even if the transformation occurs, it won’t happen today.

After a series of intense offensive and defensive exchanges, the final round finally arrived.

".The effect of 'Elemental Hero: Ionized Clamp Man'!" Judai said, "Discard a card from your hand to destroy an Attack Position monster on your opponent's field.

I discard a card from my hand, and destroy the Cyber ​​End Dragon on Caesar's field!"

The electric current on the metal hero's arm pierced like a javelin, piercing towards Marufuji Ryo's only "Electronic Terminator Dragon" on the field!

"Quick Attack Magic 'Forbidden Cloth'!" Marufuji Ryo shouted, "Reduce the attack power of 'Cyber ​​End Dragon' on the field by 600 points. It will not be targeted by card effects until the end of the turn, and it will not be destroyed by card effects!"

[Electronic End Dragon, attack power 4000 → attack power 3400]

The nearly invincible barrier was placed on the Electron Terminator, sacrificing 600 points of attack power in exchange for strong defensive resistance. The Ionized Clamp Man's electric current was forcibly deflected and failed to produce any effect.

"This way, Cyber ​​End Dragon won't be affected by most effects this round." Marufuji Ryo shouted, "If you can do it, defeat it head-on, Judai!"

But even if Judai did this, he was well prepared.

The card he had face down on the field was the key card in the graduation duel between Marufuji Ryo and Judai in the original work, the quick-attack magic "Duel Fusion". This card can increase the attack power of your monster by the attack power of the opponent's monster during battle.

In other words, no matter how high the attack power of the heroes that the Tenth Generation stacks up next, the Cyber ​​End Dragon will be able to overtake in one fell swoop, and this one blow will determine the victory!
"Caesar is so strong, he actually prepared such a level of defense." Judai said, "But if there is anything I have learned in the past semester, it is that there is no monster that cannot be defeated!
Look, Caesar, this is my evolution after these six months!"

"Come on, Judai!" Marufuji Ryo shouted, "Attack with all your strength!"

"Okay! First, activate the Spell Card 'Fusion Recycling' and recycle the Spell Cards 'Fusion' and 'Elemental Hero: Wilderness' from the Graveyard into your hand.

Then activate the magic card "Fusion" to fuse the "Elemental Hero: Necromancer" and "Elemental Hero: Wilderness" in your hand! Fusion Summon——

——Elemental Hero·Necromancer Shaman!!!"

[Elemental Hero: Necromancer Shaman, Attack Power 1900]

"Necromancer?" Marufuji Ryo was stunned.

This development was beyond his expectations. It didn't look like the high-attack hero like One Punch Man that the tenth generation OTK usually used.
"The effect of Necromancer." Judai smiled, "Sacrifice a monster on the opponent's field, and select a monster in the opponent's graveyard to Special Summon it on the field. (Original effect)

I sacrifice Cyber ​​End Dragon and Special Summon Cyber ​​Dragon from your Graveyard to the field!"

“Nani???”

Marufuji Ryo was shocked.

No, how the hell can you do this?!
He suddenly remembered the moment not long ago when his Cyber ​​Dragon was eaten by You Xuan's Chimera Fortress Dragon for free. This moment was just like that moment.
"Electric End Dragon cannot be selected as an effect target and cannot be destroyed, but Sacrifice is the activation cost of the Necromancer Shaman effect, which has no target selection and no destruction."

Judai laughed.

"Then 'Elemental Hero Ionization Clamp Man' and 'Elemental Hero Necromancer', attack Caesar together!"

"."

【Marufuji Ryo, LP 0】

The outcome was decided, Marufuji Ryo staggered back and fell to the ground, momentarily dazed.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Was it really wrong that I dueled?

　The next one will be longer.
