Chapter 341: The Situation is Urgent, I'll Directly Use the Eight-Part Light Wheel
Ending his Battle Phase, Yugi thought for a moment after looking at his hand, then set two cards face-down. "I set two cards face-down and end my turn."
With Yugi's declaration, 【Ojama Knight】 was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, with 【Ojama Yellow】 and 【Ojama Black】 disappearing along with it.
Yugi: 3000 LP, Hand: 1
Dark Magician [ATK 2500]
Dark Magician Girl [ATK 2000]
Set Cards x3
After one round of offense and defense, it was Hayato's turn again.
The disadvantage of Yugi choosing not to defeat 【Armed Dragon LV10】 last turn, instead opting for the shortcut of attacking the two decoys Hayato had on the field—【Ojama Yellow】 and 【Ojama Black】—now became apparent.
If Yugi didn't have defensive measures prepared this turn, Hayato only needed to use 【Armed Dragon LV10】's effect to destroy both Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl on his field at once, and then he could attack directly to wipe out Yugi's remaining 3000 Life Points.
The pressure was now on Yugi's side.
"My turn, draw."
Hayato drew a card, glanced at it, and then discarded it. "I activate the effect of 【Armed Dragon LV10】 on my field! Once per turn, I discard one card from my hand to destroy all face-up monsters on my opponent's field!"
"And because the card I discarded was 【Ojama Pink】, its effect activates when sent from the hand or field to the Graveyard. Both players draw one card, then each chooses one card to discard."
Due to the "later activation resolves first" rule of Duel Monsters, 【Ojama Pink】's effect was processed before 【Armed Dragon LV10】's. Hayato drew one card, then sent 【Ojama Blue】, which had been added to his hand by the effect of 【Ojamatch】 earlier, to the Graveyard. Yugi discarded Tricky Elf Swordsman.
"When I discard an 【Ojama】 card using 【Ojama Pink】's effect, it has a follow-up effect to resolve." Hayato said, casually pointing a finger at an empty space on Yugi's field. "Designate one unused Monster Zone on the opponent's field; it cannot be used until the End Phase."
"Now, let's resume resolving 【Armed Dragon LV10】's effect. Things are urgent now, let's use its power to take out Yugi's monsters!"
Following Hayato's command, perhaps energized by the discarded 【Ojama Pink】, several serrated blades on 【Armed Dragon LV10】's abdomen began to spin rapidly. 【Armed Dragon LV10】 grabbed a spinning blade in each hand, treating them like saw discs, and threw them out!
Seeing that his Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl were about to be struck by the saw discs, Yugi didn't hesitate any longer, immediately activating his face-down card. "I activate my Set Card!"
"Quick-Play Spell Card, Dark Burning Magic!"
Facing the deadly incoming attack, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl exchanged glances, understanding each other's intentions implicitly. Undaunted by the approaching threat of death, they simultaneously raised their staves, combining their efforts to conjure a sphere of magical energy before pushing it towards Hayato's field.
The saw discs and the magic sphere grazed past each other, neither hitting the other initially. Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl were struck, instantly destroyed, and sent to the Graveyard. Meanwhile, 【Armed Dragon LV10】 on Hayato's field was hit by the master and apprentice's dying counterattack, engulfed and crushed by magical energy.
"This card can only be activated when I control monsters whose original names are Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. Dark Burning Magic can destroy all cards on my opponent's field."
Only then did Yugi calmly explain.
Hayato sighed helplessly. "You really refuse to lose out even a little, Yugi."
"But don't forget, Yugi. I haven't Normal Summoned yet this turn."
As he spoke, Hayato summoned a card from his hand. "I summon 【V-Tiger Jet】 in Attack Position!"
A mechanical aircraft modeled after a tiger appeared on Hayato's field. It circled the spacious tower top once, scouting the surrounding terrain, and firmly locked onto Yugi.
【V-Tiger Jet】 [Level 4 / LIGHT]
[Machine / Normal]
[ATK 1600 / DEF 1800]
Hayato glanced at the remaining card in his hand; it was Limiter Removal, which he had just acquired through the effect of 【Ojama Pink】.
If he used Limiter Removal, although 【V-Tiger Jet】 on his field would be destroyed at the end of his turn, for this turn only, 【V-Tiger Jet】's attack points would double, soaring to a full 3200 points. A single blow would be enough to wipe out Yugi's remaining Life Points.
But could Yugi be dealt with that easily?
With two Set Cards on the field and one card in hand, Hayato wasn't certain of victory until Yugi's resources were completely depleted. Before that, it was better to chip away at Yugi's health first.
"【V-Tiger Jet】, attack Yugi directly! Cyclone Assault!"
Facing the attacking 【V-Tiger Jet】, Yugi hesitated and thought for a moment. His hand contained Kuriboh, which had the effect of reducing battle damage to zero upon being discarded. Although he could use it now, Yugi felt it would be better to save it for later. For now, he would sacrifice some Life Points.
Yugi: 3000 -> 1400 LP
【V-Tiger Jet】's attack went through, but Hayato was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't bait out Yugi's Set Cards or hand card. Setting Limiter Removal face-down, Hayato declared, "My turn ends here."
Hayato: 4000 LP, Hand: 0
【V-Tiger Jet】 [ATK 1600]
Set Card
In the audience stands, Joey Wheeler saw that Hayato's offensive had temporarily concluded and couldn't help but unclench the fists he had been gripping tightly since just now, discovering his palms were covered in sweat.
"Both sides are incredibly strong duelists. Yugi and Hayato's duel is just like walking a tightrope; it feels like one wrong step could send either falling." Mai Valentine couldn't help but remark with emotion.
"Hmph, a duel of this level can only be called a 'warm-up'. If they can't even survive the probing stage, Hayato and Yugi aren't worthy of being considered my rivals." Kaiba's gaze remained fixed on the field, speaking without turning his head. "Are you about to get serious, Yugi?"
With his Life Points reduced to only 1400, Yugi placed his fingers on his Duel Disk, yet a smile full of interest appeared on his face. "This duel is really thrilling, Hayato."
"My passion has been completely awakened. Here I come, Hayato!"
Saying this, Yugi drew his card and barely looked at it before placing it directly into the Spell & Trap Card Zone on his Duel Disk to activate it. "Spell Card, Card of Sanctity!"
