Chapter 111

Then, as if suddenly transformed, the gentle-natured boy adopted a serious expression and spoke in an unyielding tone, "Brother Yugi, you can't refuse my challenge!"

However, the Yugi noticed something else in the other player's eyes.

It sounded like sadness, guilt, as if there was some hidden reason behind it all.

This piqued the Yugi's curiosity; to find out what had happened to the opponent, they would have to accept the duel invitation.

"Alright, I accept this duel."

Not far from where the two began their duel, a pink-haired man in a purple suit was secretly watching them.

"Alright, let's begin, Rehn! Fight to the fullest to complete my plan!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Oh, it's starting, it's starting!"

"The second match of the King of Games has finally arrived!"

"But why is our opponent a little brat this time?"

"There's nothing we can do about it; after all, the rules of the competition don't allow you to refuse a challenge."

While the audience was engaged in heated discussion, the duel between the two began.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yugi Muto: LP4000]

[Rehn Wilson: LP4000]

"Let's go!"

After giving up the first turn in the Yugi, Rehn draws a card from his deck.

"I'll go first, draw a card!"

[Rehn Wilson's hand cards: 5→6]

After glancing at his hand, he slammed a card onto the Duel Disk.

"First, I summon [Iron Hans] from my hand."

After a flash of light, a middle-aged man with a long beard and holding an axe was projected onto the screen.

[Iron Hans: Attack Power 1200]

[Rehn Wilson's hand cards: 6→5]

"Then, when this monster appeared, its special effect activated!"

This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summon, or Special Summoned. Special Summon 1 [Iron Knight] from your Deck. If [Golden Castle of Stromberg] is not present in the Field Zone when this effect resolves, you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck until the end of this turn.

"[The Golden Castle of Stromberg]... So that's the deck it's from."

This card is a Field Spell, the core Field Spell for the Fairy Tale deck. The deck itself is not very strong, but it's still a fun deck.

At this moment, a cavalryman riding a fine horse and wearing iron armor appeared on the field in Rehn.

[Iron Knight: Attack power 1700 → 700]

"If [Iron Hans] is on your side of the field, [Iron Knight]'s attack power decreases by 1000 points."

After saying that, he inserted the other two cards into the Duel Disk.

"Finally, I'll set two more cards face down, and the turn ends."

Dove [Rehn Wilson's hand: 5 → 3]

Seeing how decisively the opponent ended the round, the Yugi thought, "Didn't they draw a field?"

Then he stared at the boy's feet, "Or is there a way to obtain the cards there?"

However, what he was more concerned about now was the other person's serious expression, but unfortunately, he couldn't tell what was going on yet.

"Now it's my turn, draw a card!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→6]

Upon seeing the cards he had just drawn in the Yugi, King said, "Let's go easy on AIBO a little."

Lin: "Okay, I understand."

Yugi has this plan in mind.

He put the card down, then picked up another card from his hand and inserted it into the Duel Disk. "First, I activate the Spell Card [Fusion Deployment] from my hand."

Reveal 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to your opponent; Special Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your hand or Deck whose card name is listed there.

Group [Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6→5]

"The card I'm about to show is [Super Magician - Dark Magician and Apprentice]. Special Summon one of the monsters described above."

"Come out, [Dark Magician Girl]!"

A pink light shone forth, and a lovely girl appeared before them.

[Dark Magician Girl: Attack Power 2000]

"Hmm~☆!"

The girl immediately started by acting cute.

Rehn blushed as he watched.

"The Dark Magician Girl... she can actually see the real cards that Brother Yugi uses..."

However, he quickly regained his senses in front of the beautiful girl, "No, I need to give it my all."

He quickly tapped the face-down card and shouted, "Quick-Play Spell [Land of Demise] activated!"

You can activate this effect when your opponent successfully Special Summons a monster. Select 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck to activate this effect.

As the card was activated, something vaguely appeared behind Rehn.

Chapter 155 The Golden Castle of Stromberg

"Field Spell, [Golden Castle of Stromberg] activated!"

As the boy's voice faded, a castle that appeared to be entirely made of gold gradually emerged.

What exactly are its effects?

King looked at the castle above with curious eyes.

"When an opponent's monster attacks, it can destroy the monster and deal damage equal to half of the monster's ATK. It's a rather troublesome card."

It's not a big problem for the Yugi.

Rehn continued, "Due to the activation of [Golden Castle of Stromberg], and with the special effect of [Iron Hans], attack power increases by 1000 points."

If [Golden Castle of Stromberg] is present in the field zone, this card gains ATK equal to 1000 for each [Iron Knight] on your field.

[Iron Hans: Attack Power 1200 → 2200]

Its attack power just exceeded that of the Dark Magician Girl.

"But I can only use it to attack in the next turn, so I'll activate this card before then."

The Yugi inserts another card from the hand into the Duel Disk, "Activate the Spell Card [Magic Barrier]!"

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5 → 4]

"I choose one of the effects on this card to activate. The effect I choose is: Target the Spellcaster monster [Dark Magician Girl] on my field. If she attacks this turn, your opponent cannot activate any effects until the Damage Step."

"Oh no! Does this mean I can't use the Field Spell and Face-down effects!?"

Someone eavesdropping from somewhere sneered, "Hmph, all that cunning. But it's useless. My plan began the moment that card was activated."

The Yugi then gently shook its head and said, "However, the cost of activating this card is that all damage received by the opponent this turn becomes zero."

However, that's enough. By ignoring the effects of the terrain, the Yugi can confidently launch attacks and avoid the monster's dying words.

"Go! [Dark Magician Girl], attack [Iron Knight]! Dark Magic Burst Break!"

As the Yugi gave the command, the girl stepped forward and waved her magic wand.

"Haa--!!"

She launched a pink magic light orb.

Bang--!

The knight was instantly overwhelmed.

"The moment you lose [Iron Knight], [Iron Hans]'s attack power returns to normal."

[Iron Hans: Attack power 2200 → 1200]

"Finally, set one card face down. My turn is over."

The Yugi ended its turn just like that, like letting the sea recede into the ocean.

[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 4 → 3]

"[The Dark Magician Girl] is indeed powerful, but even if her opponent is the [Dark Magician Girl] I admire, I will still defeat her."

As if making a firm decision, Rehn forcefully drew a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Rehn Wilson's hand cards: 3→4]

The moment he drew the card, the Yugi suddenly spoke up, "Powerful cards always come with risks!"

"During Young Rehn's preparation phase, you must banish the top ten cards of your deck face down."

Someone: "Hmph, you know quite a lot, but it's still useless. I've changed the effect so that the opponent pays the price, and not ten cards, but half the deck... What!?"

However, he was only halfway through his joy when he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

Based on the sound he heard, it was clear that Rehn had indeed removed ten cards from his deck, indicating that the duel system had approved the action.

"Impossible! A virus I created couldn't possibly malfunction; the duel system should be using the modified effects!"

The man's face turned extremely ferocious.

Noah Kaiba: You're overthinking it.

Unfortunately, that person didn't have their computer with them, so there's no way to find out what happened.

On the other side...

"Hmph! So the card came with a computer virus?! A mouse really did sneak in!"

President Kaiba also learned of this situation from Noah.

So the President asked him to arrange for someone to investigate Rehn's true identity and the mastermind behind him.

Let's return to the two parties involved.

Neither Rehn nor the Yugi were aware of the conspiracy behind their duel.

The match is still ongoing.

"How strange, I feel like Young Rehn is carrying some kind of mission."

"His eyes didn't look like he was enjoying the duel."

"But I don't think he approached us to deceive us."

While the boy was interacting with King in the Yugi, he prepared to begin his turn.
