The aftershocks of the savage gale lingered above the Open-Air Main Dueling Field.
The monster zones in front of Yūki were empty. The once-imposing [Silent Magician LV8] had dissolved completely into motes of light, leaving only one last face-down card sitting alone in his back row.
Across from him, however, two ferocious steel dragons stood side by side before Chazz Princeton!
On the left was [Armed Dragon LV3], dragged out of the Graveyard by [Premature Burial]. On the right was [Armed Dragon LV5], clad in the dazzling golden armor of [United We Stand], with a staggering four thousand attack points!
Not only was that attack power despair-inducingly high, but once his next turn came, Chazz could even discard a monster from his hand to activate [Armed Dragon LV5]'s effect, blasting any low-level monster Yūki summoned straight into ash!
His front row was completely empty, his Life Points had fallen to twenty-three hundred, and a four-thousand-attack nightmare still stood across from him.
No matter how anyone looked at it, Yūki had been driven right to the edge of the cliff, with nowhere left to go!
"It's over... it's really over this time!"
"Even Silent Magician LV8 got smashed head-on, and Chazz's Counter Trap took out his last-resort Magic Cylinder! How is he supposed to fight now?!"
"Four thousand attack points! Even if Yūki pulls another high-level monster out of his Deck next turn, it'll just be fodder for Armed Dragon! And that's not even mentioning that Chazz's Armed Dragon LV5 can keep evolving into LV7 next turn!"
"Could it be... that Yūki's unbeaten legend since enrolling is really going to end here today at the hands of Chazz Princeton Lightning?!"
The entire grandstand erupted. The main campus students clutched their heads, their faces filled with despair and regret.
