Welcome to the Duelist Arena!

[XYZ/Effect: 8-star monster × 2

Each of the ② and ③ effects of this card name can be used once per turn.

①: This card with a "Photon" card as XYZ material will not be destroyed by the effect.

②: When the opponent's monster's effect is activated, you can activate it by removing 1 XYZ material from this card. That effect has no effect. If the removed XYZ material is a "Galaxy" card, destroy that card again.

③: It can only be activated during the opponent's turn. Select 1 "Photon" card or "Galaxy" card from the deck and add it to your hand or overlap it under this card as XYZ material. 】

"This is the monster you added to the extra deck through your skills, Galaxy Eyes Prince, but why is it in defense position?"

Yu Dou blinked, somewhat incomprehensible. Although the appearance of the Galaxy Eye Prince was indeed shocking, the defensive expression was meaningless, right?

"Hmph! The negative effect of the Galaxy Magus is that the XYZ monster that uses its own effect to super-summon has its attack power reduced by 2000 points. Therefore, the Galaxy Eyes Prince's attack power is only 500 points. There is no point in maintaining the attack position."

Yuto fell into silence. He suddenly wanted to complain. If it didn't make sense, what did Kaito mean when he said the offensive was more than that? Could it be that this guy was planning to continue summoning?

"That's right, just as you thought, I will continue to summon you!"

"What?!"

"Magic card, Galaxy's Alms (original version), activate! If there is a Galaxy XYZ monster on my field, I can activate it by discarding a card from my hand, and draw two cards from the deck! I discard the Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon from my hand , draw two cards! Then activate the quick-attack magic card, Galaxy Reborn (original card)! Select a Galaxy monster in my graveyard to special summon, and this card becomes an equipment for it. Of course, it is Galaxy! Eyes photon dragon!”

In the speechless gazes of the audience, an object that looked like a dart appeared in Kaito's hand again, and was thrown into the sky by Kaito who was riding a surfboard.

"O the Milky Way shining in the darkness, turn into the light of hope and reside in me! The incarnation of light, come here! Appear! Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon!!!"

"roar!!!"

Following the sound of Kaito chanting while raising his right hand, the continuously rotating dart-shaped object also gathered gorgeous light in the air, condensing into a body surrounded by glow, and transformed into a body with the Milky Way shining in its eyes, and began to roar. The giant dragon, the Milky Way Eyes Photon Dragon!

Chapter 30 The power of the Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon

[Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon (original version): special summon/effect monster, eight stars, light attribute, dragon type, attack power: 3000, defense power: 2500]

[Effect (original version): This card cannot be normally summoned. You can free 2 monsters with an attack power of 2000 or more to be specially summoned. When this card battles, you can remove 1 opponent's monster that is battling this time and this card from the game. At this time, if the opponent's monster to be eliminated is an XYZ monster, all those XYZ materials are sent to the graveyard. Monsters excluded by this effect are Special Summoned on the field at the end of the battle phase. At this time, the attack power of this card increases by the number of XYZ materials sent to the graveyard due to the effect of this card x 500. 】

"Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon, is this your trump card?"

Yu Dou looked at the Galaxy-Eyed Photon Dragon in front of him with a strange look on his face, and made a reasonable guess. After all, the Yanyan Tuhui Ant is an unqualified monster that doesn't even have a summoning word, and although the Galaxy-Eyed Photon Dragon has a summoning word, It is a monster that is added to the extra deck through skills, so naturally the ace can only be the Galaxy-Eyed Photon Dragon, which also has a summon word, but why does this ace have only 1500 attack points?

And when it comes to summoning words, is there something wrong with it? Isn't the Galaxy Eye Prince a monster that you added to the extra deck through your skills? Under such a premise, why does the Milky Way Eyes Prince have a summons word? Is it possible that during that hour in the special space, in addition to adjusting your deck, selecting skills, and practicing surfing, Kaito, you also specially set aside a part of your time to think about the summoning words of the Galaxy Eye Prince? Isn’t this a bit too much!

"Hmph! The negative effect of Galaxy Rebirth is that the attack power of the monster specially summoned by this card is halved, and at the end of my turn if that monster failed to inflict combat damage to the opponent, that monster will be destroyed!"

"I see."

A flash of understanding flashed in Yu Dou's eyes. Since this is the effect, then only the Galaxy-Eye Photon Dragon does not have the effect of the Minotaur like the Galaxy-Eye Wave Dragon. So it should be difficult for the Galaxy-Eye Photon Dragon to avoid being destroyed in this round. .

"I cover a card and enter the battle phase! Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon attacks the Phantom Knights Broken Sword! Photon Blast Bullet of Destruction!!"

"Nani?! You actually let the Galaxy-Eyed Photon Dragon, which has less attack power than the Phantom Knights' Broken Sword, attack the Phantom Knights' Broken Sword?!"

"Too naive! You should wait until you see the power of the Galaxy-Eye Photon Dragon before deciding whether to say this! The special effect of the Galaxy-Eye Photon Dragon is activated. When the Galaxy Eye is fighting, the person who is fighting can be Exclude the two monsters! I will exclude the Galaxy Eyed Photon Dragon and the Phantom Knights Broken Sword! This way, your field will be empty! Come on, Ant Rock Earth Glow Ant, attack directly!"

Seeing the Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon, Phantom Knights Broken Sword disappearing from the field into light spots, and the Ant Rock Earth and Glow Ant rushing towards him again, Yu Dou didn't panic at all, and instead smiled.

"That's really unlucky. A direct attack by Yanyantu Huiyi is not feasible!"

"What?!"

"The special effect of Phantom Knights Broken Sword can only be activated when this card holding the XYZ material leaves the field. The XYZ material of this card is Special Summoned on my field, and the monster specially summoned by this effect changes its level. Four! The Phantom Knights Broken Sword that was taken out by your Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon happened to have two XYZ materials. Therefore, I made the Phantom Knights Broken Gloves and Phantom Knights Silent Boots special in defense mode. Summon, your ant rock earth glow ant cannot cross these two guarding monsters to launch a direct attack on me!"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

"What?!"

"Why do you think I summoned the Galaxy Eyes Prince? This card does not exist simply to activate Galaxy's charity! Chain the special effects of your Phantom Knights Broken Sword, Galaxy Eyes Prince's The special effect is activated once per turn. When the opponent's monster's effect is activated, it can only be activated by removing an XYZ material from this card. If the removed XYZ material is a Galaxy card, destroy that card again! ! Of course, the one I want to remove is the only XYZ material Galaxy Magus of the Galaxy Eye Prince. However, your Phantom Knights Broken Sword is no longer on the field, so there is no way to destroy it anymore! The monster effect is invalid! Go ahead, Galaxy Eyes Photon Suppressor!"

As Kaito shouted, the Galaxy-Eyed Prince in a defensive posture also raised the shield in his hand, letting the only XYZ material around him blend into the shield, releasing light from the shield, and dispersed the Phantom Knights who were preparing to resurrect their companions. The phantom of the Broken Sword forcibly suppressed its effect.

"It's actually a monster effect specially designed to deal with monster effects!"

"Ha! In this way, there will really be no monsters on your field! Ant Rock Earth and Hui Ant, attack directly!!"

"How can you succeed! The trap card, Phantom Knights Lost Armor, is activated! It can only be activated by targeting a monster on the opponent's field. The attack power of that monster is reduced by 600 points! After that, this card becomes A normal monster with an attack power of 600 is Special Summoned in attack position on my field, and this turn, the Phantom Knights monsters on my field will not be destroyed by battle! Decrease the attack power of Ant Rock by 600 points to 1500. Then, I special summon the normal monster Phantom Knights Lost Armguard in attack position. This card is of course a Phantom Knights monster, so your Ant Rock Earth Radiant Ant cannot destroy this card!"

"However, I still have to accept the harm to you! Keep attacking, Yanyantu Huiyi!!"

As Kaito roared, the weakened ant Iwatsuchi also changed his target and continued to attack.

Relying on its own effect, the Lost Armguard of the Phantom Knights naturally blocked another attack, but the spilled aftermath inevitably hit Yu Dou, causing Yu Dou's health to drop by 900 points, and even almost This caused Yuto to fly off the surfboard, and it took him a while to stabilize his body.

"Huh, it's really thrilling. Such a high-speed duel is really difficult."

Yu Dou said happily. If the experience given by the arena hadn't greatly improved his mastery of surfboards, he would have fallen directly by now. I really don't know the world where duelists engage in such thrilling duels every day. What a world it is.

Chapter 31 The counterattack begins, the dark rebellious XYZ dragon arrives!

"Ha! It seems that your luck is quite good, but can you maintain this luck in the future! I just ended the battle phase. At this moment, the special effect of the Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon was activated. This round, because of the Galaxy Eyes Monsters removed by Zilong's effect return to the field at the end of the battle!"

Kaito held up the card of Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon and explained, and the figures of Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon and Phantom Knights Broken Sword also reappeared on the field.

Yuto fell into silence. Without the XYZ material, the Phantom Knights Broken Sword could not activate its effect. It was completely equivalent to a normal monster with an attack power of 2000. On the contrary, the attack power of the Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon was one breath. Raised to 4000?

"Because it returned to the field after being eliminated, Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon's status has been reset, and it is no longer affected by the Rebirth of the Galaxy. Its attack power has returned to its original 3000 points, and it will not be destroyed because it did not cause combat damage. ! In addition, the true power of Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon is also revealed. When the monster except Galaxy Eye is a super monster, it absorbs the power of its XYZ materials. For each XYZ material, Galaxy Eye's attack power increases by 500 points! Your Phantom Knights Broken Sword is excluded and holds two XYZ materials, so the Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon's attack power increases by 1000 points to 4000! However, since there is no main phase 2 in the high-speed duel, I just ended the battle phase! It means the round is over, you have escaped! The round is over!”

[Kaito: Hand: 1 → 2 → 1 → 3 → 0 → 2 → 0, HP: 4000]

"Escaped? Maybe that's true, but now it's my turn to counterattack! My turn, draw a card!"

"Don't talk too early, let me play a little more before you counterattack!"

"What?!"

"Another effect of Galaxy-Eyes Photon can only be activated during the opponent's turn. Select a Photon Card or Galaxy Card from the deck and add it to the hand or overlap it under this card as XYZ material! I activate this effect and use Photon Chestnut from the deck as XYZ material and overlap it under Galaxy-Eyes Photon!"

"There is such an effect!"

Yuto's face changed immediately. After using this effect to replenish XYZ materials, Galaxy-Eyes Photon can invalidate the monster effect again. Although the XYZ material is a Photon Monster instead of a Galaxy Monster, and therefore cannot destroy the monster whose monster effect is invalidated, it is troublesome enough to just invalidate the monster effect!

However, after taking a look at the card he just drew, Yuto was slightly relieved. With this card, he is not completely without a chance.

"That's the effect. Now, it's your turn. Let me see your counterattack!"

"Huh, since you said so, I'll do as you wish! Go ahead. I'll summon the Phantom Knights Dust Robe in attack mode, and then I'll activate the skills that every duelist can have in a high-speed duel!"

"Is it finally here? Let me see what effect the skill you chose is!"

Kaito's eyes narrowed slightly. He has been on guard against Yuto's skills for a long time.

"Exclusive skill, Phantom Knights Rank! Activate! This skill can only be used after the second round, and can only be used twice in a duel! Once per round, select up to two Phantom Knights monsters with levels on your side of the field. During this round, if you use these two Phantom Knights monsters as XYZ materials for Xyz Summoning, their levels can be regarded as any value between 2 and 4! I activate this effect with Phantom Knights Dust-Stained Robe and Phantom Knights Lost Armguard on my field!"

Hearing this effect, Kaito fell into deep thought. It was just a skill to adjust the level? Is there no more powerful skills in Yuto's skill pool?

Yuto was helpless. Of course, he had cards in his skill pool that could add cards to the deck out of thin air like Kaito, but in a high-speed duel where the rhythm was much faster than a normal duel, he would hardly have the opportunity to use those skills, at least those skills that added trap cards to the deck. As for the skill "Mutual Counterattack and Mutual Growth" related to Pendulum Summoning, it was because he was not particularly familiar with Pendulum Summoning. Although Pendulum Summoning could indeed be a surprise move, when facing a strong enemy like Kaito, rashly using unfamiliar power would be more likely to be fatal, so he chose the skill "Phantom Knights' Rank" which could speed up the rhythm.

After taking a breath, Yuto refocused his attention on the duel.

"According to the skill effects of the Phantom Knights' rank, I used Phantom Knights' Dust Robe and Phantom Knights' Lost Armguard as level 2 monsters. Then, I stacked up the level 2 Phantom Knights' Dust Robe and Phantom Knights' Lost Armguard! The cursed rebellious spear that pierced through the bodies of tens of thousands of warriors and entangled death! Come! Xyz Summon! Show up, level 2! Phantom Knights' Cursed Javelin!!"

In Youdou's call, two streams of purple light rushed into the golden vortex, causing a monster that didn't look particularly strong, an undead warrior holding a gun and a shield, Phantom Knights' Cursed Javelin, to descend beside it.

[Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin: XYZ/Effect Monster, Level 2, Dark Attribute, Warrior-Type, Attack: 1600, Defense: 0]

[XYZ/Effect (Original Version): 2 Level 2 Monsters x 2

①: Once per turn, remove 1 XYZ Material from this card and target 1 monster on the opponent's field. The monster's Attack becomes 0 and the effect is negated. This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn. 】

"Attack power, 1600, is this the trump card you plan to use to counterattack me? What effect will it have?"

"It's not over yet! My counterattack is more than that! Upgrade magic - Phantom Knights' Attack (original version), activate!"

"What?! Upgrade magic?!"

"You can only activate it by targeting an XYZ monster on my field. An XYZ monster with a higher rank than that monster is superimposed on the target monster and Special Summoned from the Extra Deck as an XYZ Summon! I activate this effect targeting Rank 3 Phantom Knights Broken Sword, and Special Summon a Rank 4 XYZ monster from the Extra Deck on Phantom Knights Broken Sword! In the dark night, the rebellious fangs that resist the power of stupidity! Descend! Upgrade! Xyz transformation! Show up, Rank 4! Dark Rebellious XYZ Dragon!!!"

Chapter 32 3000 vs. 2500, a different development

Amid Yuto's loud shout, accompanied by thunder and lightning, a dark dragon with fangs on its chin, a dimensional dragon with summoning mode in its name, Dark Rebellious XYZ Dragon, descended.

[Dark Rebellious XYZ Dragon: XYZ/Effect Monster, Level 4, Dark Attribute, Dragon Family, Attack Power: 2500, Defense Power: 2000]

[XYZ/Effect (Original Version): 4-Star Monster × 2

①: Remove 1 super material from this card and activate it by targeting 1 monster of level 5 or above on the opponent's field. By the end of this turn, that monster's attack power is reduced to half, and that value increases the attack power of this card. 】

"Upgrade magic?! Can you actually use this method to upgrade and summon XYZ monsters? It seems completely different from the way we use Hope Emperor Hope to summon Hope Emperor Hope!"

In the auditorium, area Z4, looking at Yuto's performance, Yuma, who had never seen level-up magic, couldn't help but feel that it was an eye-opener.

Astral, on the other hand, was deep in thought, upgrading magic. He didn't seem to have any impression of this kind of thing at all. Was it an existence that disappeared from his memory along with the No. card?

"Secret Rebel XYZ Dragon, if I guessed correctly, this should be your trump card! Do you plan to use this to counterattack me?"

Seeing the iconic 2500 attack power of Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon, Kaito also inexplicably thought of Hope Emperor Hope who also had 2500 attack power, and his expression became serious.

"That's right! The Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon, this is my trump card and the clarion call for counterattack! The second effect of the Upgrade Magic - Phantom Knights' Attack. The first effect of this card is the Phantom Knights XYZ monster. Or Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon can be activated when it is targeted. This card is overlapped under the monster specially summoned by the first effect as XYZ material. Therefore, I overlapped this card under Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon as XYZ material! "

Following Yu Dou's explanation, the number of purple light balls surrounding Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon increased from one to two.

"Then, the special effect of the Phantom Knights' cursed javelin is activated! Once per turn, remove one of the XYZ materials from this card and target a monster on the opponent's field to activate it. The attack power of that monster becomes 0. , the effect is invalidated! I remove one of the XYZ materials of the Phantom Knights' Cursed Javelin and activate this effect on the Galaxy Eye Prince on your field!"

"Hey! You know that the effect of Galaxy Eye Prince can negate monster effects, but you still choose to activate this effect? ​​In other words, this effect is just a bait, and the real trump card is the secretly rebellious XYZ Dragon! But, now I , but there is no other choice! The effect of the Chain Phantom Knights Curse Javelin, the special effect of the Galaxy Eye Prince is activated! I removed the only XYZ material photon chestnut of the Galaxy Eye Prince, and invalidated the effect of the Phantom Knights Curse Javelin. ! Photon suppression!"

After the words fell, the Galaxy Eyes Prince raised his shield again and released light, which offset the beam released by the Phantom Knights holding their spears high with a cursed expression.

Seeing this, You Dou also smiled: "Although you guessed my purpose, the result has not changed! In this way, your Galaxy Eyes Prince will no longer be able to hinder me! Next, let you See the power of the ace! The special effect of Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon is activated! Remove one XYZ material of this card and target a level 5 or higher monster on the opponent's field. Until the end of this turn, that monster's The attack power of Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon increases by that amount! I activate this effect twice in succession on the level 8 Galaxy Eyed Photon Dragon on your field!"

As Yu Dou shouted, the two purple light balls surrounding the Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon quickly merged into the gems on the Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon's body, causing the Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon to unfold its mechanical-half wings and release countless pink and purple. The arc of electricity tangled towards the Galaxy-Eyed Photon Dragon.

Seeing such a scene, Kaito's expression changed instantly. The current attack power of Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon is 4000. After Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon activates its effect twice in a row, Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon's attack power will be reduced to 1000. The attack power of the Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon will be increased to 5500. Although the Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon with increased attack power cannot attack the Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon due to the effect of the Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon itself, the Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon can attack the ants. Rock-soil ants!

Due to the effect of the Lost Arm Armor of the Phantom Knights, the attack power of the Ants has dropped from 2100 to 1500. If attacked by the Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon with an attack power of 5500, the Ants will not be destroyed by the battle. , Kaito's health points will also be cleared directly.

"The winner has been decided! Kaito, take the attack! This is the final blow! Entering the battle stage, Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon launches an attack on Ant Rock Earth and Glow Ant! Rebellious Disobedient Thunder!!!"

As Yu Dou roared, the Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon unfolded its wings wrapped in pink-purple arcs, raised its fangs on its chin that were also wrapped in pink-purple lightning, and crashed into the Yantu Huiyi at full speed.

In the audience, both Kaiba and Jack showed some subtle expressions. 3000 vs. 2500, and 2500 won. Why is this scene so familiar?

"Hahahahahaha!!"

However, at this time, Kaito leaned back and suddenly laughed wildly.

"What?!"

Yu Dou suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Really? You almost reversed the situation! Yuto, your strength is great, but compared to me, you are still far behind! Activate Trap Card, Photonize! Activate when the opponent's monster declares an attack, and invalidate the attack of an opponent's monster. The attack power of a face-up Light monster on my field will be increased by the attack power of that opponent's monster until my next End Phase! You dared to steal the attack power of Galaxy-Eyes, now, you have to double it back! I use the effect of Photonize to invalidate your Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon's attack, and then increase the attack power of Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon to On my Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon! Increase Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's attack power by 5500 points to 6500!"

"How could it be!"

"Not only that! At the end of your turn, Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon's effect will end, and Galaxy-Eyes's attack power will return! Next turn, you can enjoy 9500 points of attack power! Hahahahahaha!!!"

Dark Rebel XYZ Dragon's movements suddenly stopped amid Kaito's wild laughter, and the arcs all over his body turned into light streams, merging into the gem on Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's chest, making Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon shine even brighter.

In the audience, Kaiba and Jack's expressions gradually turned into astonishment. It was actually different from what they expected?

Hoshihara: Obviously different. How could Kaito be the same as you two? He has never lost to Yuma!

Kaiba, Jack:......

Chapter 33 The final gamble, the round table breaks

In the virtual city, amid Kaito's wild laughter, Yuto's face suddenly changed. He finally got the chance to kill, but Kaito played this trick on him. Was it just one move away? No, it's not over yet, he still has a chance!

"Gu! I'm ending my turn. At this moment, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon's effect ends, and its attack power returns to 2500! At the same time, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's attack power is also restored to 500!"

[Yuto: Hand: 1 → 2 → 0 HP: 3100]

"So, Yuto, this is your last turn! Are you ready to repent? My turn, draw a card! Ant Rock and Earth Radiant's effect is activated, I remove the last XYZ material of Ant Rock and Earth Radiant, restore Ant Rock and Earth Radiant's attack power to 1800, and then use Ant Rock and Earth Radiant to attack Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin!"

"Damn, there's no chance at all. As expected of Kaito! Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin's special effect, once per turn, can be activated by removing one XYZ material from this card, and can be activated by targeting a monster on the opponent's field, and that monster's ATK becomes 0 and the effect is negated! This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn! I remove the last XYZ material of Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin, activate this effect, negate the effect of Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, and reduce its ATK to 0! Cursed Spear!"

"It's useless! I knew you would do this, Quick-Play Magic Card, Galaxy Storm (original)! Activate! Select two face-up cards on the opponent's field, and until the end of this turn, the ATK of a Photon Monster on my field is halved, and the effect of the selected card is negated! Linking the effect of your Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin, I reduce Galaxy-Eyes Photon's ATK by half again, negating your Phantom Knights The effect of Cursed Javelin and Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon! "

"What? !"

Amidst Yuto's exclamation, Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin, which was about to throw a spear at Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, was once again suppressed by the light released by Galaxy-Eyes Photon's shield, giving him a feeling of a lifelong enemy.

"In this way, all your monster effects are invalid! Ant Rock Earth Brilliant Ant, continue to attack, destroy Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin! !"

Following Kaito's order, Ant Rock Earth Brilliant Ant also quickly pounced on Phantom Knights Cursed Javelin, tearing it into pieces, causing 200 points of damage to Yuto.

"Gu! ! !"

Encountering the impact, Yuto also groaned again, struggling to stabilize his surfboard.
