Chapter 93
Their entire life trajectory was arranged by Dartz.
The culprit behind the war in Amelda's country was Dartz, who killed his entire family and orchestrated the death of his brother right before Amelda's eyes.
The church that Valon considered his final resting place was also burned down by Dartz. Under Dartz's arrangement, the darkness in Valon's heart was gradually awakened, and he eventually came to him and served him.
As for Rafael, it goes without saying that his family perished at sea not because of an underwater volcanic eruption, but because it was arranged by Dartz. Moreover, Rafael survived only because Dartz deliberately saved him.
In short, Dartz only treated the three gunmen as pawns; their life trajectories were predetermined from the beginning, and all those tragedies were his doing.
What's even more outrageous is that he calls these things fate, that he merely gave them a push, and that he considers them the right thing to do.
"Dartz! You bastard!!"
Rafael was so enraged that he could no longer suppress the darkness within him.
"Aaaaaahh..."
Suddenly, he cried out in anguish. The barrier that had previously disappeared reappeared beneath his feet, tugging at his soul.
He intended to summon Ethos to attack Dartz, but was ultimately consumed by the power of the barrier.
Rafael collapsed to the ground; his soul had been taken from him.
"Rafael!"
"Hey! Are you alright?"
Everyone rushed over to check on him, but he was already unresponsive; he'd been killed so quickly.
Dartz said with a sense of smug satisfaction, "Hehehe, one's taken care of~"
"Now it's your turn."
"Dartz!"
"You bastard!"
The Yugi and the President were angered by the other party's attitude and stepped forward to confront him.
"It seems you're not convinced. Then fight me in the way you know best. Duels are ancient rituals where lives are at stake, so let's follow that ancient custom."
As Dartz spoke, he stepped forward, a Duel Disk appearing in his hand.
The Yugi player stepped forward and said, "Then I'll be your opponent!"
He wanted to solo the final boss, but that would upset Kaiba, who had no other options.
"No, the Yugi. This guy can't be entrusted to just you!"
The President had nowhere to vent his gambling addiction, so he had to play cards immediately.
Yugi:...
"Let's begin! Lin, offer up your souls together! Yugi 2, Seto!"
As he spoke, Dartz raised his left hand, and the Duel Disk in his hand unfolded.
The two then started playing cards.
"Duel!!" ×3
[Yugi Muto: LP4000]
[Seto Kaiba: LP4000]
[Dartz: LP4000]
Each of the three drew five cards from their decks and began their duel.
Chapter 129 Dartz VS Yugi & Kaiba
The Yugi and Kaiba launched the first attack.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Seto Kaiba cards: 5→6]
Upon seeing the card he had drawn, Kaiba immediately burst into laughter, "Hehehe, hahaha, ahahaha--!!"
The classic three-part laugh reappeared, and the laughter even cracked at the end.
"Dartz, let me show you how foolish it is to oppose me, the strongest duelist on land!"
While Kaiba was praising himself, he immediately played the card.
"I activate the Spell Card [Polymerization] from my hand to Polymerization the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in my hand."
The three White Bride heads appeared simultaneously in the sky, then Polymerization together.
"Idiot! My strongest servant, [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Alternative Dragon]!"
As soon as the Kaiba's booming voice faded, the three-headed subspecies of Ultra Dragon appeared.
[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Alternative Dragon: Attack Power 4500]
[Seto Kaiba cards: 6 → 2]
Here it comes: Kaiba brand 502 glue. You don't even need to shuffle the deck; you can start with three white dragons.
"Neither player can attack during their first turn. My turn is over."
After Kaiba announced the end of his turn, the Yugi proceeded to draw a card.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 5→6]
After glancing at his hand, Yugi inserted a card into the Duel Disk without hesitation. "I activate Ritual Spell [Super Warrior Sprout] from my hand."
Send one of the following monsters with a combined Level of 8 or lower to the Graveyard, and Ritual Summon 1 [Chaos Warrior] Ritual Monster from your hand or Graveyard.
●One Light Attribute monster in your hand and one Dark Attribute Monster in your Deck.
●One Dark Attribute Monster in your hand and one Light Attribute monster in your Deck.
"I'm sending the Dark Attribute Monster [Darkness Knight] from my hand and the Light Attribute monster [Electromagnetic Turtle] from my deck to the Graveyard."
"Ritual Summon, [Chaos Warrior]!"
As the two monsters were offered up, a beam of chaotic light shot into the sky, and a super soldier clad in magnificent armor, wielding a sword and a shield, emerged from it. His armor and weapons were inlaid with red gems, making him appear extremely imposing.
[Chaos Warrior: Attack Power 3000]
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 6 → 3]
"And when [Darkness Knight] is used as a tribute, it grants the [Chaos Warrior] monster Ritual Summon two special abilities."
●Once per turn, you can target 1 monster your opponent controls; banish that monster.
●Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can activate this effect. Your opponent randomly selects 1 card from their hand and banishes it face-down until their next End Phase.
"Therefore, I activate the effect that [Chaos Warrior] received from [Darkness Knight], banish one card from your hand."
As soon as the Yugi was finished, a hole opened in the sky above Dartz, and a card in his hand suddenly flew into it uncontrollably before the hole closed.
[Dartz's cue cards: 5 → 4]
"That concludes my turn."
Since the Yugi already has an Electromagnetic Turtle in the graveyard, it's perfectly safe, so there's no need to set it up; just let the game pass this turn.
"Wow, that's amazing! Both my brother and the Yugi summoned their ace monsters in the same turn!"
"And it also took away one of the opponent's cards."
Seeing Dartz, Darzelle's lips curled up slightly, and she chuckled, "So that's how it is. You went all out from the start, not giving me a chance..."
"Then it's my turn."
[Dartz's cue cards: 4→5]
He put down the card he had drawn, then picked up another card and held it high, "A card born from the darkest of darkness, the power of destiny has come into my hands!"
The card emitted a green light, and at the same time, a sudden gust of wind inexplicably blew up around Dartz.
The flames burning in the braziers inside the temple were suddenly extinguished by a blow.
Once the card's light faded, its true form was revealed.
The image on that card depicts a barrier that Who Uses Dies Barrier.
"Are they here!?"
"The Selene, Queen of the Master Magicians..."
Then, a barrier symbol appeared beneath Dartz's feet and rapidly expanded forward, encompassing the Yugi and the Kaiba.
The next moment, Dartz raised her head, revealing a slightly ferocious expression, with the corners of her mouth turning up wildly.
""Ah...""
"What's wrong!?"
"This guy's killing intent is extraordinary; even a layman like me can clearly sense it!"
"Yugi..."
Not only Yugi and Kaiba sensed it, but everyone else also felt the intense malice emanating from Dartz.
"This guy..."
Although she considers herself unbeatable in the Yugi, Dartz an impression of being quite formidable.
Of course, this doesn't refer to dueling techniques, but rather to the suppression of power.
Fortunately, this is a world where cards determine fate, otherwise we would be helpless.
While the Yugi and Kaiba were distracted, Dartz placed another card from his hand onto the Duel Disk.
"Appear, [Orichalcos Kyutora]!"
A flash of light appeared beneath his feet, and a burly troll with its body hunched over was projected.
[Orichalcos Kyutora: Defense 1500, Attack 400 → 900]
"I'll reduce my own health by another 500 points..."
As he spoke, he inserted another card into the Duel Disk.
[Dartz: LP4000→3500]
Special Summon [Orichalcos Kyutora]!
Behind the troll, a flash of light appeared, and a demon resembling a sea urchin emerged. It opened one large eye, and the symbol of the barrier immediately appeared in its pupil.
[Orichalcos Kyutora: Attack Power 500 → 1000]
"It's not over yet. I activate the Continuous Spell [Graceful Charity]. Each time one of my monsters is resurrected from the Graveyard, I can draw one card."
A Continuous Spell, one that left a deep impression on the Yugi, appeared at Dartz's feet.
Looking at the card, Yugi frowned slightly. He had seen this card before in the Duel City with Marik; it was an extremely powerful card draw card.
The original effect was to draw three cards every time you resurrected, which was extremely overpowered.
Later, at the President's request, Industrial Illusions Inc. changed the effects, and then it entered the market as a limited edition card.
Perhaps it's because they've seen Marik use Infinite Loop in the Yugi, and his Seal of the Orichalcos, and are worried about it being too environmentally damaging.
Even after the nerf, this card is still very strong, considering it's practically a banned card that can't be played in the real-world card game environment.
Of course, given the current environment and the limited number of resurrection methods, the problem isn't too serious.
"I'll set one more card face down, end of turn."
At this point, Dartz turned his turn by placing his remaining card face down.
[Dartz Hand Cards: 5 → 0]
"And in my final phase, the excluded cards are returned to my hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hole opened up again in the sky, and the card that had been sent to another world in the previous round flew back to Dartz's hand.
[Dartz Hand Cards: 0→1]
