...
...Why does my master keep staring at me?
Because of the appearance of "Skyscraper" and "Beloved Hero" on the field, the attack power of the Dark Magician Knight further increased.
[Super Magician Knight - Dark Magician Knight, Attack Power 5700 → 5900]
Of course, this slight increase had become negligible.
Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman also inherited the effect of Flame Wingman, the fusion material, capable of inflicting damage equal to the original attack value of the destroyed monster.
If this strike goes through, the battle will be won!
"Continue the battle, and this will be the final blow!"
At least, that's what Youyu sincerely hoped.
"Use the Magic Card - Quick Attack, to empower Shining Flare Wingman to attack 'Dark Magician Knight'!" Youyu issued the final offensive command of the duel, "Flashing Flame Shot!"
[Super Magician Knight - Dark Magician Knight, Attack Power 5900 → 6000]
The Hero received the order and launched a rapid charge!
The metallic hero's figure transformed into an afterimage, dragging a transparent white flash behind like a bullet exiting the chamber, screeching towards the Magic Knight.
In the face of the overwhelming charge of the high-tech warrior, the loyal servant of the magic side wasn't outshone, igniting black flames all over, and charged with a spear.
Light and dark forces clashed fiercely, light and darkness intertwined and erupted, powerful energy released, the sound seemed about to shatter eardrums, and the light effects were blinding.
"How... how is it?" Jonouchi struggled to force his eyes open, wanting to confirm the situation on the field.
This question concerned everyone present.
What was the outcome of the duel?
Did Yugi... lose?
The terrifying energy of the two collided and gradually dispersed, the smoke gradually dispersed, and the image on the dueling arena returned.
The first to capture everyone's attention from the smoke was the Shining Flare Wingman, glowing with holy light and carrying grand effects. Everyone immediately noticed that this handsome hero was still intact on Youyu's side, and Youyu behind him looked safe as well.
[Youyu, LP 500]
Jonouchi was shocked: "Then... did Yugi lose???"
"No... that's not right." President Haima couldn't maintain his calm, his eyes wide open, as if eager to climb on stage to check the situation personally.
Soon after, Yugi appeared, also intact... even the Dark Magician Knight on his field remained.
[Yugi, LP 2000]
"It's truly a pity, that was indeed a great opportunity." Yugi acknowledged with a smile as a card bounced from his duel disc grave zone, "But at the moment the battle happened, I used the effect of 'Electromagnetic Turtle' in the grave!
This card in the graveyard allows the player to forcibly end the battle phase once at their will!"
"Electromagnetic Turtle... so that's it." Haima retracted his neck, which was stretched like a giraffe, crossed his arms, and resumed a calm demeanor, "Discarded from the hand as a cost for the 'Dark Magician Knight's effect earlier?
Hmm, calculated quite far ahead, preparing for such a move even when the 'Dark Magician Knight' held absolute advantage in attack power.
But it is Yugi after all, it's natural to go this far..."
"I see, as expected of Yugi-san." Youyu gently closed his eyes, smiled slightly, and then opened his eyes abruptly.
But, it's all right!
Today we'll also demonstrate what true top decking is!
Youyu raised his hand, holding his last card.
"Magic Card - Raid from the Dark, activate!" (Animation Card)
"Nani!?" Everyone was simultaneously astonished.
This round already had too many reversals, the intense exchange of attack and defense was dazzling, the unexpected developments keeping everyone in awe.
Among them, Marik is undoubtedly the most familiar with this card.
In the original anime, it was Dark Marik who used this card in the finals against Yugi, granting the Phoenix Form of the Sun God a second chance to attack.
Since Marik had consciously given his entire card deck to Youyu after the competition, naturally, this card now belonged to Youyu as well.
"Raid from the Dark is a card used at the end of the battle phase!" The reformed Marik explained helpfully, "It allows a monster summoned this turn to attack again after restarting the battle phase!"
"It can attack again!?"
Anzu couldn't help but shout in worry: "Yugi!"
"Battle again!" Youyu shouted, "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman, Flashing Flame Assault! This time, let's thoroughly defeat the Dark Magician Knight!"
[Super Magician Knight - Dark Magician Knight, Attack Power 6000 → 6100]
Due to the activation of "Raid from the Dark," Dark Magician Knight's attack power continued to rise.
Attack power of 6100, normally perceived as an insurmountable, virtually meaningless level of strength, yet at this moment it seemed utterly inconsequential in the face of Shining Flare Wingman.
[Shining Flare Wingman, Attack Power 7000]
This time, Yugi had no means to counter the attack. Shining Flare Wingman's charge tore through the magic power unleashed by the Dark Magician Knight, knocking away the spiral lance, which spun rapidly in the air.
