Chapter 135
The sudden praise startled Yako, who was still angry about the minotaur's behavior, and he became somewhat embarrassed.
"Is that so?"
Jonouchi nodded and smiled, "That's right, Pegasus will definitely be proud of you too."
"Thanks..."
What the other person said pleased Yako, after all, Pegasus, whom Jonouchi mentioned, was his most beloved adoptive father.
Yako's face flushed at the mention of Pegasus's name.
Jonouchi's unintentional words touched the softest part of his heart, Yako's resentment towards Jonouchi vanished instantly.
Yako: Jonouchi is a friend worth having!
His mood improved somewhat, and he finally focused his attention back on the duel.
He inserted a card into the Duel Disk and said, "I'll finish with one last card. End of turn."
[Tenma Yakou Hand Cards: 2 → 1]
"And because the opponent only has three cards left on the field, the Evil God's attack power is reduced by 3000 points."
"At the same time, due to the end of the round, [Cabra the Warrior God]'s attack power returns to normal."
[Evil God - Annihilator: Attack Power 6000 → 3000]
[Cabra the Warrior God: Attack Power 2500 → 2200]
"Phew~~."
Seeing that his opponent had finished his turn, Jonouchi breathed a sigh of relief.
It's a bit of a shame that we couldn't defeat the opponent using the minotaurs, but it's already quite good that we escaped unscathed.
The real test is yet to come.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Katsuya Jonouchi's hand cards: 2→3]
After glancing at the card in his hand, Jonouchi ignored it completely. Holding the card, he pointed it directly at the War God and shouted, "Battle begins! [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] Attack!"
"At this moment, this monster's special effect activates, equipping it with a Warrior-type monster from the Graveyard as an Equip Card, increasing its ATK by 200."
Flames suddenly erupted from the blades on the Blackblade Dragon's arm.
[Red-Eyes Black Dragon: Attack Power 2800 → 3000]
Chapter 190 The Evil God - Source of Fear
Seeing the changes in the Blackblade Dragon, Tenma Yakou raised an eyebrow, "Is its attack power the same as the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] now...?"
"However, since Mr. Jonouchi has one more card on the field, [Evil God - Annihilator]'s attack power increases by 1000 points."
[Evil God - Annihilator: Attack Power 3000 → 4000]
"In that case, the evil god still has the upper hand in terms of offensive power."
"Yes, of course I understand... so my target is naturally the other monster."
Then, pointing at the Jonouchi lord shouted, "Go! Attack [Cabra the Warrior God]!"
At his command, the Black Blade Dragon swung its arms, and two flaming arm blades unleashed two blades of energy mixed with black flames, striking towards the demon.
Bang--!
Two blades of energy sliced through the demon's body, instantly severing it.
"Well..."
The injury penetrated the body that Yako.
[Tenma Yakou: LP4000→3200]
"That was a very effective attack, but in doing so, Mr. Jonouchi, you've triggered the trap I set."
Yako calmly pressed the button to reveal the card and shouted, "Open the card, activate the Trap Card [Level Barrier]!"
"If your monster is destroyed by your opponent, you can Special Summon any number of monsters from your Deck whose combined Levels are equal to the Level of the destroyed monster."
"[Cabra the Warrior God] is a Level 6, so I can Special Defense Position three Level 2 [Hourglass of Life] cards from my Deck in Defense Position with their effects negated."
He lined up the three cards on the Duel Disk, and then three winged hourglasses were projected onto the screen.
[Hourglass of Life: Defense 600] ×3
"Wow, amazing! They've collected all three sacrifices needed to summon the evil god..."
Looking at this row of monsters, Jonouchi felt a headache coming on.
"Since the effect of [Cabra the Warrior God] has disappeared, I have changed both [Sheep Token] to Defense Position."
"Round over."
[Sheep Token: Defense 0] ×2
After reinforcing the defenses, the Jonouchi ended its turn.
"It's my turn again, time to draw a card!"
[Tenma Yakou Cards: 1→2]
"Mr. Jonouchi, now I'll show you the form of the second god..."
With that, he placed the card in his left hand, then grabbed the evil god card with his right hand and raised it high, proclaiming, "I offer up all three [Hourglass of Life] as sacrifices to bring down the gods!"
The three hourglasses transformed into three streams of energy that converged and flowed into the card in Yako's hand.
"Evil god, descend upon me!"
"The Second Evil God, [The Evil God - Source of Fear], is summoned!"
As Yako slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, a thick, dark mist, capable of covering the entire arena, rose from beneath his feet once more, and a gigantic figure slowly ascended from the mist.
It was a gray-green giant with a pair of bone wings on its back, its arms and head protected by Obelisk the Tormentor white bones, and its form corresponding to that of a colossus.
[Evil God - Source of Fear: Attack Power 4000]
[Tenma Yakou Hand Cards: 2 → 1]
Looking at this terrifying evil god, Jonouchi felt immense pressure and exclaimed, "Attack power of 4000 points... Is this the same as Obelisk?"
Yako said calmly, "That's right, this evil god's original attack power is 4000 points, possessing the purest power just like the God of Destruction."
"And as long as [Evil God - Source of Fear] is on the field, the ATK and DEF of all monsters other than itself are halved."
"Large sacs!?"
Roar--!!
The giant roared, and under the influence of the aura of fear, all the monsters were suppressed.
[Red-Eyes Black Dragon: Attack Power 3000 → 1500]
[Evil God - Annihilator: Attack Power 4000 → 2000]
"Red-Eyes' attack power has dropped to 1500 points... This is really bad..."
Cold sweat poured down his Jonouchi.
"Take this, Mr. Jonouchi!"
Without hesitation, Yako launched his attack. He waved his hand and shouted, "[Evil God - Source of Fear] Attack [Red-Eyes Black Dragon], Terror Smash!"
The evil giant god swung his massive fist, which struck the Blackblade Dragon in an instant.
Boom--!
Jonouchi hurriedly shouted, "[Hundred Dragon]'s special effect! [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] can only be used once without being destroyed!"
The protective layer on the Blackblade Dragon's body was instantly shattered by the divine fist.
"But Mr. Jonouchi, you will suffer more than half the damage."
As soon as Yako finished speaking, the impact of the source of fear bypassed the Blackblade Dragon and struck Jonouchi.
"Ughhh--!"
[Katsuya Jonouchi: LP3800→1300]
"My attack isn't over yet! [Evil God - Annihilator] attacks [Red-Eyes Black Dragon], Great Judgment Flame!"
At his command, the Evil Dragon opened its mouth wide, and a stream of demonic flame was unleashed, instantly engulfing the Black Blade Dragon.
Boom--!!
A loud explosion followed, instantly raising a cloud of dust across the field.
Once the smoke and dust clear...
"What!?"
Yako seeing the scene before him, Ye Xing was immediately taken aback.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, a white figure appeared before him Jonouchi eaves.
A fire knight clad in white armor stood Jonouchi.
[Phoenix Sword Saint Kia Fried: Attack Power 2800 → 1400]
[Katsuya Jonouchi: LP1300→800]
Staring at the knight, Yako frowned slightly, wondering, "Why did this monster come onto the field? Could it be...?"
In response to the question, Jonouchi explained, "If [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] is destroyed, Special Summon as many monsters as possible from the Graveyard as possible that are equipped with that monster."
"This is why [Phoenix Sword Saint Kia Fried] is here."
After hearing Jonouchi's explanation, Yako nodded in understanding.
He exclaimed, "I see. Mr. Jonouchi is truly tenacious. No wonder Lord Pegasus speaks so highly of duelists like you..."
"Hehe~, thanks for the compliment~."
Feeling a little embarrassed by the compliment, Jonouchi scratched his head.
However, the next sentence made his lips twitch.
"Although he's still quite a bit behind Mr. Yugi Muto and Mr. Seto Kaiba."
"Well..."
Jonouchi: It's true, but don't say it so directly...
Seeing the awkward expression on his opponent's face, Yako smiled knowingly and continued, "Ahem, let's continue our duel. Due to the change in the number of cards, the attack power of [Evil God - Annihilator] has decreased."
[Evil God - Annihilator: Attack Power 2000 → 1500]
"Finally, set one card face down to end the turn."
[Tenma Yakou Cards: 1 → 0]
Chapter 191 Time Magic Hammer
Inside the lounge, the group gathered around the screen were in a state of chaos.
"We're doomed. Jonouchi is in dire straits. Is this the end for him?"
"Don't say discouraging things, Honda! Jonouchi has never given up so easily."
Anzu nodded in agreement with Yugi's words, "Indeed, Jonouchi-kun's fighting spirit hasn't disappeared yet."
King was staring at the screen, picked up where he left off and said, "It's undeniable that the evil god's power is indeed formidable, but as long as we can draw that card, Jonouchi will still have a chance to fight back."
"That's true."
Let's return our attention to the competition.
Jonouchi stared intently at the deck, unable to draw the card at the top for a long time.
"What's wrong, Mr. Jonouchi? Are you giving up the match?"
