We must go! Su Yuqing's eyes were filled with tears; she couldn't let down the country that had sacrificed itself for her!
You Ji gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran with Su Yuqing into the depths of the tunnel. The Galaxy Eye Light Dragon in their hands emitted a dazzling blue light, illuminating the path ahead, as if guiding them to the next stop of their destiny.
Chapter 309 Flash Sword Princess Activation
Yuki stood in the center of the abandoned industrial area, the night wind whistling through the rusty metal pipes. His Duel Disk was already unfolded, and the deck contained the Sky Striker deck he had been practicing day and night all week—completely different from his usual Xyz Spell decks, this was a competitive deck that required extremely high skill.
"So you've come." A hoarse voice came from the shadows. A man in a black robe stepped out slowly, his face covered by a mask engraved with eerie runes. "Are you ready to hand over your soul, little one?"
Yuki took a deep breath and assembled the cards into the Duel Disk: I accept your Dark Duel, but you will be the loser.
The man in black robes let out a piercing laugh and unfurled his dueling disk. This disk was unlike any other; its surface flowed with dark red energy, as if it were alive. The stakes had been agreed upon—the loser's soul would forever belong to the victor.
As the duel disks were activated, the surrounding air suddenly became viscous. Yuki felt a chill run from his feet up his spine; this was no ordinary duel—he could sense some supernatural force forming a barrier. The abandoned machinery around them began to twist and deform, gradually forming a closed duel arena, and the moon overhead turned blood red.
DUEL!
"I'll go first!" The man in black robes seized the initiative, drew a card, and activated the field spell "Conqueror of the Golden City!"
The entire venue instantly transformed into an ancient golden palace, its walls inlaid with countless gems that emitted an eerie glow.
Next, Normal Summon the Golden Lord, the Golden Kingdom Lich! The black-robed man slammed a card onto the Duel Disk, and a skeleton mage in a golden robe appeared on the field, his scepter emitting an ominous black mist.
Yuki kept a close eye on his opponent's moves. The Golden Kingdom deck is known for its powerful resource suppression and disruption capabilities, making it even more dangerous in the Dark Game.
Set two cards in the back row, end the turn. The black-robed man grinned sinisterly, "Let's see what your Sky Striker Princess can do, little one."
My turn, draw! Yuuki glanced at his hand: Sky Striker - Black Widow Anchor, Sky Striker Activation - Flash, Sky Striker Princess - Zero, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, and Effect Veiler. A decent starting hand.
First, activate the spell card Sky Striker Activation - Sky Striker! Yuuki plays a key card, adding Sky Striker Rhythm - Blazing Inferno from his deck to his hand!
A golden light shot out from the deck, and Yuuki precisely retrieved the card he needed. The black-robed man sneered: Is this all the preparation you've got?
Yuki ignored him and continued his actions: Normal Summon Sky Striker - Zero! A blue-haired girl wearing high-tech armor appeared on the field, her light blade gleaming coldly.
"Zero's effect activates!" Yuuki shouted, "Tribute her and Special Summon Sky Striker Princess Shizuku from the Extra Deck!"
Zero's armor reformed and transformed in mid-air, becoming a purple warrior wielding dual blades. The black-robed figure revealed a face-down card: Trap Card "Elixir of Immortality from the Golden City" activated! When your opponent Special Summons a monster, you can destroy that monster and restore 1000 Life Points!
A golden light shot towards Shizuku, but Yuuki was prepared: Quick-Play Magic Sky Slayer - Black Widow Anchor activated! Negate your trap effect and banish that card!
The mechanical spider leaped from the void, tearing the black-robed man's trap card to shreds with its sharp limbs and carrying him away. Shizuku was able to enter the fray safely, her attack power displayed as 1500.
"Well done," the man in black sneered, "but it's far from enough."
Battle phase! Yuuki orders Shizuku to attack directly!
The purple warrior transformed into a streak of light, charging towards the black-robed man, his twin blades slicing through his body. The black-robed man groaned, his health dropping to 2500 points. Even more unsettling, Yuki saw a real bloodstain appear on his opponent's face—the damage from the Dark Duel was real!
The round ended. Yuuki set up two cards in the back row, watching his opponent warily.
My turn, draw a card! The man in black glanced at the newly drawn card and let out a piercing laugh. "Let me show you true terror!" He activated the effect of the Golden Lord, Special Summoning a second Golden Lord from his hand!
Another skeleton mage appeared on the field, and the black-robed man continued his attack: Stack two level 5 Golden Lords on top of each other! Xyz Summon! Descend, No. 84 Pain-Inducing Spider!
A giant mechanical spider appeared on the field, covered in spikes, with an attack power of 2500.
"Activate Pain-Inducing Spider's effect!" the black-robed man shouted. "Remove one Xyz Material! This turn it can attack twice!"
Yuji frowned. The Pain-Increasing Spider's attack power was enough to deplete his health in two attacks; he had to find a way to deal with it.
Fight! Pain-increasing spiders attack Shizuku! The black-robed man gave the order, and the mechanical spiders' spikes rained down on the purple warrior.
Activate Trap Slash Technique - Rekindled Flames! Yuuki responds swiftly, returning Shizuku to the Extra Deck and Special Summoning Sky Slash Princess - Soten!
The purple-haired warrior instantly transformed into a red-haired dual-wielder, dodging the first wave of attacks. But the black-robed man grinned maliciously: "Second attack! Pain-Increasing Spider attacks Sa Tian!"
Activate the second face-down card—Sky Striker - Tiger Shark Cannon! Yuuki responds again, destroying your Pain-Inducing Spider!
The tiger-headed turret emerged from the void, blasting the mechanical spider to pieces with a single shot. The black-robed man's face darkened: End of turn. You were lucky, but you won't be so lucky next time.
My turn, draw a card! Yuuki glanced at the newly drawn card—Sky Blade Organization - Re-Operation—and immediately had a plan.
Activate the Spell Card Sky Striker Mechanics - Re-Operation! Yuuki plays a card, retrieves Sky Striker from the Graveyard and activates Sky Striker Mechanics - Black Widow Anchor!
After recovering the resources, Yuuki activated Flash Slash again: He added Sky Slash Technique - Phantom Mist Sword from his deck to his hand!
Next, Normal Summon Ash Blossom! Yuuki plays this Hand Trap Monster, and a cute gray-haired girl appears on the field, setting a Link Mark on Ash Blossom and the Soten on the field!
Two beams of light converged, and Yuuki loudly announced: Link Summon! Sky Striker - Zeke!
A blond heavy gunner appears in the extra monster zone with an attack power of 1500.
Zeke's effect activates! Yuuki continues his actions, retrieving Sky Striker - Zero from the graveyard and adding it to his hand! Then, Normal Summon Zero!
The blue-haired girl reappears, and Yuuki quickly releases her - Moon Chair Three 〨t Feed O 陾「〥思VII。I咝: Special Summon Sky Striker Princess - Ryouri!
Zero transforms into an orange-haired archer, and Yuuki now has two Sky Striker Princesses on his field.
Battle phase! Yuuki gives the order, Zeke attacks directly!
The blonde girl unleashed her powerful attack, reducing the black-robed man's life points to 1000. Just as Ryouri was about to launch an attack, the black-robed man suddenly revealed his face-down card: the Trap Card Tomb Raider of the Golden City activated! Banish Sky Striker - Zero from your Graveyard, and my battle damage this turn becomes 0!
A golden wall blocked Liao Li's arrows, and You Ji could only end his turn: Set a card in the back row, end turn.
My turn, draw! The man in black robes laughed triumphantly upon seeing his newly drawn card. Game over! Activate the spell Pot of Greed! Return the two Golden Lords and Pain-Inducing Spider from the Graveyard to the Deck, draw two cards!
After replenishing his hand, the man in black robes launches a fierce attack: Activating the effect of Conqueror of the Golden City! Special Summon Guardian of the Golden City from the Deck!
A warrior clad in golden armor appeared on the field, with an attack power of 1800.
Next, Normal Summon Thieves of the Golden Land! The black-robed man continues, stacking two Level 4 monsters! Xyz Summon! No. 41 Mudsommon!
A giant Sandman appears on the field, with an attack power of 2100.
The effect of Mudslewy Beast activates! The Black Robe announces: Remove one Xyz Material, change all monsters on your field to Defense Position, and they cannot change their position!
The Sandman released hypnotic gas, forcing Yuuki's Sky Striker Princesses into a defensive stance.
"Fight! Guardians attack Zeke!" The man in black robes gave the order, and the golden-armored warrior slashed at the blonde girl with his sword.
Activate Zeke's effect! Yuuki immediately responds, freeing her. You can only attack once this turn!
Zeke vanished in a speck of light, and the black-robed man roared angrily: "Damn Sky Striker! Then attack directly with Mudstalker!"
The Sandman's giant hand slammed down on Yuki, and he felt a sharp pain spread throughout his body, causing his health points to plummet to 1900. Even more terrifying, a real wound appeared on his left arm, and blood dripped down his arm.
The round is over. The man in black said smugly, "The next round will be your death!"
Yuki gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and looked at his hand. His life points were nearly depleted, with only Ryouri in defense position on the field, a Phantom Mist Sword in his back row, and the Effect Veiler and the newly drawn Flash Blade Technique - Eagle Advance in his hand. The situation was critical, but he hadn't lost yet.
My turn, draw a card! The newly drawn card is Sky Striker Organization - Re-battle Preparation, Yuuki's eyes lit up.
Prepare for another battle with magic! Yuuki plays a key card, retrieving Sky Striker - Black Widow Anchor and Sky Striker Activation - Sky Striker from the graveyard!
After recovering the resources, Yuki immediately activated Flash: Add Sky Slash - Lightning Splash from the deck to his hand!
Next, activate the effect of Sky Striker Rageblade - Reignition in the Graveyard! Yuuki continues his actions, banishing it and Lightning Splash from his hand to Special Summon Sky Striker Rageblade - Soten from the Extra Deck!
The red-haired dual-wielder returns, and Yuuki quickly releases her: Special Summon Sky Striker Princess - Shizuku!
Shizuku's effect activates! Yuuki shouts, "Reclaim Sky Striker Princess Zero from the Graveyard and add her to my hand!" Then, Normal Summon Zero!
The blue-haired girl makes her third appearance, and Yuuki releases her: Special Summon Sky Striker - Zeke!
Zeke's effect: Reclaim Zero from the graveyard! Yuuki's actions were fluid and seamless; then, he normally summoned Zero!
The fourth summoning of Zero?! The man in black robes took a step back in shock.
Release Zero, Special Summon Sky Striker Princess - Ryouri! Yuuki now has three Sky Striker Princesses on his field: Shizuku, Zeke, and Ryouri.
Set the link markers for the three Sky Striker Princesses! Yuuki raises his right hand, linking and summoning! Sky Striker Princess - Hibiki!
A green-haired spearman appears in the extra monster zone with an attack power of 3000.
Hibiki's effect activated! Yuuki announces, "Retrieve Sky Blade from the graveyard and activate - Flash Slash!" Then, activate Magic Eagle Advance! Hibiki can attack directly this turn!
"Don't even think about it!" the black-robed man roared, activating the effect of Mudstalker! Remove the last Xyz Material, putting all your monsters into Defense Position!
A chain of quick-attack spells, Sky Striker Rageblade - Lightning Splash! Yuuki reacts swiftly, returning Hibiki to the Extra Deck and Special Summoning Sky Striker Princess - Soten!
The green-haired warrior transformed back into a red-haired gunslinger, escaping the effects of the sleep demon.
Battle level 0, Japanese doctor deleted 882 stages! Yu Ji gave the order, and Sa Tian attacked directly!
The twin pistols unleashed scorching energy blasts, reducing the black-robed man's life points to 700. Just then, Yuki felt an unusual vibration emanating from the Duel Disk—the Sky Striker Princesses seemed to be responding to his will, their cards radiating a dazzling golden light.
This is... Yuki looked at the card in his hand in surprise.
Source Resonance?! The black-robed man retreated in horror. Impossible! How could Flash Blade Princess possibly...?
Saten's hidden effect activated! Yuki sensed the information from the card: when the difference in life points reaches 2000 or more, a second attack can be launched!
What?! The black-robed man turned pale; the Flash Blade Princess had no effect whatsoever!
This is the power of bonds! Yuuki loudly proclaims, "Second attack! Saten, finish him off!"
The red-haired girl combined her two pistols and fired a beam of light that pierced the heavens and earth. The black-robed man let out a shrill scream, and the moment his health points reached zero, the entire dark barrier began to collapse.
The mask shattered, revealing a distorted face beneath: No... my soul... Ahhh!
As Yu Ji watched the black-robed man's body gradually transform into two billion black mists, he suddenly reached out his hand: "In the name of a true duelist, I refuse to take your soul!"
A golden light shot out from Yuki's deck, purifying the dark energy from the black-robed man. The black-robed man fell to the ground, transforming back into an ordinary middle-aged man, staring blankly at his hands: I...I'm...
The forces of darkness have left you. Yuuki, put away your Duel Disk and never play such a dangerous game again.
The man knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly: Thank you... thank you...
Yuki turned and left the abandoned factory as the sun rose above the horizon. He glanced at his Sky Striker deck; the girls on the cards seemed to smile at him.
Thank you, my new friends.
Chapter 310 Saiyan Card Deck
A screeching sound of brakes ripped through the night, followed by a deafening clang of metal twisting. Yuki felt himself being tossed into the air like a rag doll, the world spinning before his eyes. In his last moments of consciousness, he saw his meticulously assembled Saiyan-themed card deck scatter from his backpack, the cards shimmering strangely in the headlights.
No... my match
The darkness swallowed everything.
Hey, wake up! Don't block the way!
A rough sound, accompanied by the light tap of a shoe, jolted Yuki awake from his unconsciousness. He opened his eyes abruptly, the blinding sunlight causing him to instinctively raise his hand to shield his eyes. Wait, sunlight? Didn't the car accident happen at night?
