The Protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! World Might Be the Same Person

The White Mask immediately grew displeased. He placed another card from his hand onto the Duel Disk.

"I'll set a monster from my hand in defense position."

A face-down card appeared on the White Mask's front field.

"Finally, I'll set one more card. My turn ends."

After setting the card, the White Mask ended his turn.

[Mask of Light Hand: 2 → 0]

"You're still just turtling. I'm running out of patience with you guys!"

President Kaiba was dissatisfied with the duel between the Light and Dark Masks.

"Hee hee hee, then go ahead and attack. I don't mind."

The White Mask continued to grin.

"As you wish. My turn, draw!"

[Yugi Muto Hand: 1 → 2]

King put away the card he drew and placed another card from his hand onto the Duel Disk.

"I'll summon [Magician of Black Chaos] from my hand in attack position."

The Magician of Black Chaos, clad in red armor, materialized on King's field.

[Magician of Black Chaos: ATK 1600]

[Yugi Muto Hand: 2 → 1]

"The effect of [Magician of Black Chaos] activates."

: When this card is successfully Normal or Special Summoned: Place 1 Magic Counter on this card (max. 1). : This card gains 300 ATK for each Magic Counter on it.

[Magician of Black Chaos: ATK 1600 → 1900, Magic Counters 0 → 1]

"Next, I'll activate another effect of [Magician of Black Chaos]."

By removing 1 Magic Counter from this card, target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target.

[Magician of Black Chaos: ATK 1900 → 1600, Magic Counters 1 → 0]

At this moment, the Magician of Black Chaos's magic sword began to glow.

"Destroy the Mask of Light's set card, [Magician of Black Chaos]!"

The Magician of Black Chaos swung his sword, unleashing a beam of light. The White Mask's set card was immediately flipped face-up.

--[Chain Destruction].

The beam of light then destroyed the set card.

"This is bad!!" ×2

The Light and Dark Masks felt a sense of dread.

"Battle! I attack your face-down monster with [Magician of Black Chaos]!"

The Magician of Black Chaos charged forward and slashed through the set card, revealing the monster beneath.

--[Masked Sorcerer Curse Throat].

Suddenly, the White Mask's field was empty.

"Hmph, I see. You aimed for the Mask of Light, intending to completely incapacitate him and finish him off in one turn? Well done, Yugi."

President Kaiba said with satisfaction.

"Kaiba... I'll set one last card. My turn ends."

King placed his last card face-down and announced the end of his turn.

[Yugi Muto Hand: 1 → 0]

Chapter 16: The White Bride Stolen

"What a useless guy."

The Black Mask was extremely displeased with the White Mask's performance.

"What did you say!?"

The White Mask shouted back angrily.

"Hmph, hurry up and start your turns. I don't have time to watch you two clowns argue."

President Kaiba said impatiently.

"Tch. My turn, draw!"

[Mask of Darkness Hand: 2 → 3]

After drawing a card, Black Mask pressed a button.

"First, I activate the Trap Card, [Sandstorm Hurricane]."

It allows the activation of one Spell/Trap Card on both your and your opponent's field. The chosen cards return to their owner's hand.

"I choose [Sacrifice Seal Mask] and one of your face-down cards, President."

At this moment, Black Mask pointed to one of the President's face-down cards, and a sandstorm erupted on the field.

[Black Mask Hand: 3 → 4]

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 4 → 5]

"You dodged the effect of [Sacrifice Seal Mask]!?"

King said with a frown.

"That's right. Next, I activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] from my hand, and Special Summon [Masked Sorcerer Curse Throat] from the graveyard."

Masked Sorcerer was projected onto Black Mask's field.

[Masked Sorcerer Curse Throat: ATK 1500]

"Then, I tribute two monsters on my field, including [Masked Sorcerer Curse Throat] and [Melchid the Four-Faced Beast], to Special Summon [Masked Beast Des Gardius] from my hand. I will use [Masked Sorcerer Curse Throat] and [Radiant Abyss] as tributes."

The two monsters immediately shattered, and a three-headed demon wearing three masks appeared.

[Masked Beast Des Gardius: ATK 3300]

An illustration is available here; check the updated version.

[Black Mask Hand: 4 → 2]

"Its ATK... 3300!? It's higher than [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!"

The President's pupils constricted sharply.

"Heheheh, this is my ace monster. Battle! I attack [Bloody Beastman] with [Masked Beast Des Gardius]!"

The demon's claws slammed towards the beastman.

Seeing that Black Mask did not summon any other monsters and chose to proceed directly to the battle phase, the President quickly flipped over a face-down card.

"Not so fast! I activate the Trap Card [Destruction Ring]!"

This card can be activated during the opponent's turn. Target one face-up monster on the opponent's field whose ATK is less than or equal to your Life Points. Destroy that face-up monster, and you take damage equal to that monster's original ATK. After that, inflict damage to the opponent equal to the damage you received.

An illustration is available here; check the updated version.

"The monster I'm destroying is, of course, [Masked Beast Des Gardius]."

A lifebuoy adorned with eight grenades was placed around the demon's neck.

"This is bad! If its effect goes through, we're finished!"

Both Mask of Light and Mask of Darkness wore panicked expressions, but Black Mask's panic quickly turned into mockery.

"Heh, just kidding. I activate the Counter Trap, [Trap Interference Formation]!"

This card can only be activated during the Battle Phase. Negate the activation of an opponent's Trap Card and destroy it.

"What!?"

Before the President could react, Destruction Ring shattered.

Then, the demon's attack landed, crushing the beastman.

"Tsk!"

The President couldn't help but click his tongue.

[Seto Kaiba: LP 4000 → 2600]

"Heheheh, next turn I can activate [Sacrifice Seal Mask] again to seal your high-level monsters. I'll finish by setting two cards. Turn end."

Black Mask said with satisfaction.

[Black Mask Hand: 2 → 0]

"Well done, AIBO."

Mask of Light breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you were completely useless."

Black Mask, however, felt annoyed.

At this moment, the President drew a card.

"My turn, Draw!"

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 5 → 6]

Immediately after the President drew his card, Black Mask activated a face-down card.

"At this moment, I activate the Continuous Trap [Sacrifice Seal Mask] once again. This way, you won't be able to summon any monsters with an ATK higher than [Masked Beast Des Gardius]."

Black Mask grew even more smug.

"That's what you needed!"

At this moment, the King uttered this classic line.

"What!?" x2

The Mask of Light and the Mask of Darkness didn't know what the opponent was relying on.

"Use that card, Kaiba."

The King was quite confident in the President.

"Hmph, I don't need you to tell me what to do."

Saying this, the President drew a card from his hand and inserted it into his Duel Disk.

"I activate the Spell Card [Ancient Rules] from my hand."

Special Summon 1 Normal Monster of Level 5 or higher from your hand.

"Here we go! Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!"

The President's white bride finally appeared.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon: ATK 3000]

There is an illustration here, viewable after updating the version.

[Seto Kaiba Hand: 6 → 4]

"Yikes! It appeared, Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!"

The White Mask immediately panicked. If the President summoned another monster, he would be finished.

"First, I will crush you, Mask of Light!"

Saying this, the President drew another card from his hand.

"I Tribute Summon [X-Head Cannon] in Attack Position from my hand."
