"Certain victory? Nameless Pharaoh, are you actually trying to say I'm arrogant?" Rafael looked at the 【Chaos之魔导】Chaos Magician on Yugi's Field in Defense Position, then reached out and pointed at his 【守护者-艾托斯】Guardian Eatos. "My Guardian Eatos's ATK is currently as high as 4000 Points. Can other Duel Monsters achieve that?"

"Not only that, Eatos, equipped with 【守护者之力】Guardian Power, can remove Spell Counters instead of being Destroyed. If you want to defeat me and take 【神炎皇-乌利亚】Uria, Lord of Searing Flames from my Hand, he is the one you must overcome."

"Can you surpass me, Nameless Pharaoh?"

As Rafael spoke, he Set the Card in his Hand. "I Set my last Hand Card. End Turn."

[Rafael: 2000LP, Hand 0]
Guardian Eatos (Guardian Power) [ATK4000]
[Set Card] X2

Yugi heard this and frowned.

In the previous few Turns, after Summoning that Guardian Eatos, Rafael suddenly became serious. Not only did he consecutively Destroy and Send to Graveyard Yugi's Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, which had originally held the advantage on the Field, but he also used Guardian Eatos's Effect to Banish Yugi's Monsters in the Graveyard one by one, increasing Guardian Eatos's ATK.

After Yugi spent resources and finally Destroyed Guardian Eatos with difficulty, Rafael Revived it again and equipped it with 【守护者之力】Guardian Power.

Because I didn't know its effects, Yugi didn't expect 【守护者之力】Guardian Power to actually have virtually infinite Destruction Resistance. After several rounds of offense and defense, Yugi's resources were almost exhausted, but he had managed to stack the number of Spell Counters on Guardian Power to three.

[Yugi: 400LP, Hand 3]
Chaos Magician [DEF2100]
[Set Card]

He looked down at his Hand. They were 【次元融合】Dimension Fusion, 【神秘的中华锅】Mystical Wok, and 【复活的祭坛】Altar of Rebirth. Dimension Fusion can Special Summon all Banished Monsters of both players back to the Field, but it has the Restriction that it can only be Activated by Paying 2000LP. With Yugi's current 400 Life Points, he doesn't have enough to Activate this Card.

However, if he used Mystical Wok to Tribute the Chaos Magician on his Field, there would be a possibility of Activating it. But in that case, he would have to find a possibility among the Banished Monsters that would be enough to defeat Rafael's Guardian Eatos.

"If it's just fantasy, I can't verify if my prediction for the future can be realized. In that case, I'll place my hope for Victory on this next Draw." Yugi's gaze met Rafael's. Rafael, full of confidence in his Monster and Set Defense, felt the fiercely burning fighting spirit in Yugi's gaze. "Guardian Eatos, you will be defeated by me and my Deck!"

"My Turn, Draw!"

After drawing the Card in his Hand, Yugi flipped it over. Seeing the Card he drew, he couldn't help but smile. "Then in this Turn, I will surpass Guardian Eatos!"

"Activate Spell Card 【黑魔术的继承】Dark Magic Inheritance! Banish two Spell Cards from my Graveyard—【禁忌的圣衣】Forbidden Dress and 【魔术师的救出】Magician's Rescue! Then, I add one Spell/Trap Card that lists 'Dark Magician' or 'Dark Magician Girl' in its Card Name from my Deck to my Hand."

After inserting the Card he had just drawn into the Spell & Trap Zone, Yugi wasn't in a hurry to Search for a Card from his Deck. Instead, he reached out and pointed at the Chaos Magician on his Field. "However, before that, I will Activate a Chain to Chaos Magician's Effect!"

"Although 【守护者之力】Guardian Power can continuously protect Guardian Eatos from being Destroyed as long as it has Spell Counters, it itself shouldn't have resistance, right?" The corner of Yugi's mouth curved up as he said confidently, "A dragon's inverse scale is the hardest scale on its body, but Destroying it will consequently expose its biggest weakness!"

Chaos Magician gathered the scattered mystical power from Dark Magic Inheritance, turning it into a magical arrow. As Yugi's hand swung forward, it pointed directly at the 【守护者之力】Guardian Power equipped onto Guardian Eatos!

As long as Guardian Power is Destroyed, Guardian Eatos's troublesome Battle/Effect Destruction Resistance will disappear along with it, and its ATK will also drop back down to 2500 Points. Even if he doesn't use other Monsters, just Chaos Magician can result in Mutual Destruction with it.

"Tsk, did you see through it? Not bad discernment."

Rafael found that Yugi had actually found one of Guardian Eatos's weaknesses and couldn't help but frown. "But if the same move is used too many times, how could others not guard against it? Your use of Chaos Magician's once per Turn effect to Destroy a Card was completely within my calculations!"

"Flip Set Card, 【突破技能】Breakthrough Skill!"

Seeing that the flying magical arrow was about to destroy 【守护者之力】Guardian Power under the Control of Chaos Magician, Guardian Eatos's figure suddenly disappeared from Rafael's Field.

At the same time, Chaos Magician, focused on controlling the magical arrow, was momentarily stunned by the disappearance of its target and completely failed to notice Guardian Eatos, who had somehow appeared beside it.

The sword edge slashed past. Although Chaos Magician made an avoidance movement the moment Guardian Eatos acted, Chaos Magician's Staff, used to block the Attack, was cut off by a single sword strike.

Guardian Eatos successfully landed a blow and was kicked back to Rafael's Field by Chaos Magician, who remembered it was actually a melee Mage. But its goal was already achieved. Although Chaos Magician, having lost the assistance of its wand, still possessed powerful mystical power, it could no longer freely use powerful spells like before. Even the patterns on its robe were no longer vibrant.

Yugi clicked his tongue, somewhat annoyed.

He had originally thought that if he were to Activate Dimension Fusion, Tributing Chaos Magician would be inevitable. In that case, he would have to consider how he could fully utilize Chaos Magician's Power.

Although Mystical Wok is also a Spell Card that can trigger Chaos Magician's Effect, if the Tribute Target is Chaos Magician, he wouldn't be able to Activate this Effect in the Graveyard situation. So Yugi thought of using Dark Magic Inheritance to unleash Chaos Magician's last bit of residual heat.

However, Yugi wasn't overly disappointed by this. If Guardian Power could be easily broken, that would be underestimating Rafael, who had been entangled with him for several Turns. That the Opponent would set up defensive Cards was also within expectations.

"Because Chaos Magician's Effect was Negated, Dark Magic Inheritance re-resolves. I add one Card from my Deck to my Hand." After Yugi Searched out a Card from his Deck, he drew out 【神秘的中华锅】Mystical Wok. "Since Chaos Magician cannot defeat Guardian Eatos, then let's switch Opponents."

"Activate Spell Card Mystical Wok! I Tribute the Chaos Magician on my Field, then I Recover Life Points equal to Chaos Magician's ATK Value, which is 2500 Points!"

见游戏居然将自己的怪兽解放,拉菲鲁不屑地冷哼一声,却没有说什么。

明明在之前的很长一段时间里,决斗怪兽的圈子中有许多人跟自己一样都不太愿意将喜爱的怪兽随意送入墓地,而是会在对战之中想办法将它们保存下来。

但是似乎是从决斗都市、或是更早之前,突然就开始流行起了“XXX,我好喜欢你啊,为了你,我要将你分解掉”“与其被你破坏,我还不如将我的XXX炒了吃”“为了大义牺牲吧,XXX!”之类的为了胜利、所以将自己的怪兽用各种手段破坏的决斗风格。

怎么想,都是小林隼人那个家伙的问题,身为决斗王居然将决斗者们的风格带偏到这种错误的道路上,那位大人的想法是对的,这个世界果然出了问题!

拉菲鲁的心情越想越糟糕,看向游戏的眼神也逐渐变得不太好了。

暗游戏倒是不知道拉菲鲁的想法,在他看来,将自己的怪兽送入墓地之中没有什么不对的。

表游戏经常使用【栗子球】之类的卡片,甚至常有【增殖】+【机雷化】这种量产自爆部队的同归于尽操作;

城之内的怪兽一个个的都很擅长在被破坏后“很有骨气”地从墓地里返场,拿到异常适合在场上和墓地里反复横跳的【真红眼黑龙】后城之内的“诈尸”行为更是变本加厉;

隼人就更不用说了,甚至就连海马,在虐菜的时候也经常会有使用【破坏轮】+【防御轮】的combo。

被其所认可的决斗者们都能接受、甚至都有加入这种操作之中,也难怪暗游戏不觉得把怪兽送入墓地有什么不对。甚至就连他自己,卡组中也固定加入【超电磁龟】甚至【弹射龟】这些需要送入墓地和需要把其他怪兽送入墓地的卡片。

[Yugi: 400→2900LP]

His Life Points, which had originally almost hit rock bottom and could be Cleared with just one Sparks, recovered to 2900 Points. With ample Life Points, Yugi didn't linger his gaze on this Value for too long. Instead, he drew out a Card and played it onto the Field.

[Yugi: 2900→900LP]

"Hmm?" Even though Yugi's Life Points had just been sharply rising, they plummeted like a dive. Rafael was a bit surprised. "He didn't have any intention of keeping the Life Points gained from Tributing his own Monsters. He actually just used them lavishly like this."

"Oh Nameless Pharaoh, regarding the sacrifice of your own Monsters, don't you care at all?"

Listening to Rafael's words, Yugi felt a bit strange. If it were someone else, shouldn't they be focused on what Card he was going to use after spending so many Life Points? Why is this person actually asking if he cared about my own Monsters?

"I killed my way from Baicaoyuan to Sanwei Bookstore, chopping melons and dicing vegetables for three days, and didn't even blink. You ask me if my eyes are dry?"

Although he felt in his heart that this person Rafael might have some serious illness, Yugi's answer was still quite serious. "In your opinion, is it necessary to always talk about the sacrifice of Duel Monsters, Rafael? My idea is different from yours."

"Every single Monster that sacrifices in battle is contributing their power for me. As a Duelist, all I can do is remember their sacrifice and then make the most of that sacrifice." Yugi's gaze looked towards the Graveyard Zone on his Duel Disk.

【魔道化-利真】Magical Merchant, Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Chaos Magician... Monster after Monster, they all existed in his memory. Although only Chaos Magician remained in the Graveyard and the other Monsters had all been Banished, Yugi could feel that every single Monster was actually accompanying him in his hand.

"Just dwelling on the Monsters leaving and sacrifice changes nothing and is meaningless."

"Only winning this Duel is the best reward for the Monsters who trust me."

On Yugi's Spell/Trap Zone, the Dimension Fusion Card appeared. With the full 2000 Life Points Yugi offered as a cost, space shattered above Rafael and Yugi, revealing a Passage connecting the Monsters that were Banished one by one during this Duel.

"Moreover, speaking of 'squandering Life Points'..." Yugi's mouth curved up, revealing a confident smile. "Cards lose their meaning if they aren't used at the right time."

"According to Hayato, it seems to be something someone who disappeared from everyone's memory said. Although I don't quite understand what it means, I really agree with this sentence."

【AD变更者】Attack/Defense Changer was dragged out from the void with the help of Magical Merchant. Two Dark Magicians with completely identical expressions stood side by side, the two of them busy staring at each other. They completely failed to notice the plea for help from Dark Magician Girl beside them, who had only half crawled out from the void and gotten stuck at the waist, making it look like a scene from a doujinshi.

And on the other side, led by 【后援守护者】Backup Gardna, 【武器召唤师】Weapon Summoner, 【太阳之战士】Warrior of Sunlight, and 【太阳之守护者】Guardian of Sunlight, who had appeared in the previous battle, were not to be outdone and returned one by one from the Different Dimension to above the Field.

All the Monsters that had appeared in the previous Turn returned from the Banished Different Dimension World. This scene, like the Avengers assembling, was cast into Rafael's heart along with the words Yugi had said earlier.

"Just dwelling on leaving and sacrifice cannot change anything and has no meaning at all?..." His gaze glanced towards the Guardian Eatos on his own Field. Rafael couldn't help but have memories of the past stirred within him.

Rafael, whose heart was somewhat shaken, raised his hand and reached for the Green Gem Pendant on his chest. Feeling that warmth that shouldn't belong to a stone, Rafael forced his will to refocus.

"No, I am not immersed in the past. The painful past only made me realize more clearly that that Adult's idea has no errors at all." Looking up at the Monsters about to jump down from the Passage, Rafael pressed the Activate Set Card button on his Duel Disk. "Sorry, Nameless Pharaoh."

"'Guardian Eatos will be defeated by you.' You said that just now, didn't you? As punishment for blocking that Adult's plan, I will sever your hope!"
