Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

"Even so, the effect of [Tuning Magician] can still be activated! When this card is successfully Pendulum Summoned from your hand, you can Special Summon 1 [Magician] Pendulum Monster other than [Tuning Magician] from your Deck in Defense Position! However, the effects of the monster Special Summoned by this effect are negated, and it is banished if it leaves the field!"

Come on! Level 4 [Rainbow Magician]!

Although his body dissipated into specks of light, the staff in the [Tuning Magician's] hand, which resembled a giant golden tuning fork, instantly fell to the ground, turned into specks of light, and reformed into a figure wearing red robes and holding a one-handed sword.

"So what? Even if you sealed my Pendulum Summoning with that card, I can still Special Summon monsters through other methods!"

Faced with Yuya's provocation, Desong simply snorted and said:

"Really? Even your pendulum summoning, which you're good at, has been completely sealed. You don't even have the chance or time to do anything anymore!"

Desong's words and this style of duel caused the two henchmen beside Kongensaka, who were familiar with the old "Henpecked Chojiro," to momentarily freeze in surprise:

"No, the 'hedonistic Chojiro' we know..."

"That's not how you play..."

This time, however, their voices seemed a bit louder, and even Desong heard them, loudly refuting them:

"The pleasure-seeking Chojiro is dead. I am now Akiame Chojiro!"

As if to supplement Tokumatsu's statement, before Yuya and the others could even raise a question, Tokumatsu's henchman in a gray kimono chimed in:

"Because guys who duel with the big shots always end up crying their eyes out after losing and having their cards taken away, that's how it got that nickname. You're just waiting for the big shot to take your cards away and cry your eyes out!"

Faced with Tokusatsu's provocation, Yuya immediately retorted angrily:

"Don't underestimate me! I'm not just a pendulum summoner! Whether it's Pleasure Chojiro or Akisame Chojiro, I'll settle things with my duel! Watch me..."

Just as Yuya's finger moved to the [Tuning Magician] card that had just returned to his hand, he suddenly felt as if he heard the following sound:

"That's right, it's this card. As long as I use this card and [Rainbow Magician] on the field to summon my [King of Dragons], whether it's [Hungry Poison], [Phantom Wing], or [Dark Rebel], I can easily defeat this opponent!"

"Hurry, summon it quickly! Once it's summoned, I can take over this body!"

The sound instantly made Yuya realize something was wrong, and at the same time, it also made him discover some problems within himself:

Even though I still have a [Spiral Assault Blast] in my hand, which can synergize with the pendulum effect of [Odd-Eyes Overlord Pendulum Dragon], why did I rush to Normal Summon it just now?

His previous attitude towards Desong was also unlike what he would have done before.

Sure enough, something was influencing me.

Having figured this out, Yuya immediately removed his hand from [Tuning Magician] and sent [Spiral Strike Blast] into the Duel Disk:

"I activate the Spell Card [Spiral Assault Blast]. The effect I choose to activate is: if I control a [Odd-Eyes] card, target one card on the field and destroy that card!"

Just when Desom thought that Yuya was going to destroy his [Old Man's Law] or [Hanafuda Guardian - Rain Four Lights-], Yuya uttered a card name that he found unbelievable.

"What I choose to destroy is my own [Odd-Eyes Masked Dragon]!"

As the crimson dragon was destroyed in the red and black spiral beam of light, the arc-shaped crystals on the [Odd-Eyed Tyrant Pendulum Dragon] instantly lit up.

"Now, I activate the effect of [Odd-Eyes Overlord Pendulum Dragon] on my field! When a face-up [Odd-Eyes] card on my field is destroyed by battle or card effect, Special Summon 1 [Odd-Eyes] monster from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard!"

I choose to Special Summon [Entertainment Partner Odd-Eyes Melter] from my deck!

Amidst the roar of the purplish-black dragon, the mage who had brought Yuya fusion power several times before reappeared on Yuya's field, staff in hand.

Chapter 157 Victory, The Handover at the Top

"Now, I activate the effect of [Magician of the Dragon] in my Graveyard! While this card is in my hand or Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card by lowering the Level of 1 Level 7 or higher [Odd-Eyes] monster you control by 3!"

The monster I chose to downgrade is [Entertainment Partner Odd-Eyes Melter]!

As the level of [Entertainment Partner Heterochromatic Melter], who was wrapped in a black leather jacket, dropped to 5 stars, a girl dressed in a white dress that resembled a priestess's robe appeared on the field in a burst of golden light.

After [The Magician of the Dragon] appeared, Yuya also raised his hand and began his chanting:

"Now, I'm using the level 3 [Noble Dragon Magician] to adjust the level 4 [Rainbow Magician] on the field!"

"The flames of the fallen now burn in its heterochromatic eyes! Synchro Summon! Appear, blazing bicolor eyes! Level 7, [Opposite-Eyed Meteorite Dragon]!"

As Yuya chanted, [The Magician of the Dragon] immediately raised the white staff inlaid with red gems in its hand. In the dazzling light emitted by the gems, its body instantly transformed into three halos of light, surrounding [The Magician of the Rainbow].

[Rainbow Magician] knelt on one knee, plunging the sword in her hand straight into the ground, guiding the light of the Synchro Summoning to erupt and completely engulf its body.

Finally, from the blue-green pillar of light summoned by the Synchro Summon, crimson flames erupted. The dragon, clad in crimson armor, poked its head out and, with a single flick of its head, tore through the pillar of light, revealing its body that seemed to burn with flames.

"I activate the effect of [Odd-Eyes Meteor Dragon]! When this card is Special Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 card from your Pendulum Zone! However, [Odd-Eyes Meteor Dragon] cannot attack this turn."

Come on, [Heterochromatic Tyrant Pendulum Dragon]!

After Yuya gave the order, the eye of [Odd-Eyes Meteorite Dragon] covered with a golden eye socket lit up instantly, and blazing flames erupted at that moment, shooting straight towards the pillar of light where [Odd-Eyes Tyrant Pendulum Dragon] was located.

With a "crack," the beam of light shattered, and [Odd-Eyes Tyrant Pendulum Dragon] flew onto Yuya's field, its body ablaze with flames.

"Next, I will Normal Summon [Tuning Magician] from my hand, and then activate the effect of [Entertainment Partner Odd-Eyed Melter]!"

As if to deliberately provoke the voice in his head that had just tried to guide him, Yuya finally summoned [Tuning Magician], but now, neither Synchro Summon nor Xyz Summon was possible.

Even with fusion summoning, Yuya didn't want to listen to that voice and summon something like [Overlord's Favored Dragon Ferocious Hungry Poison].

He wants to summon his own dragon!

"[Entertainment Partner Odd-Eyes Melter] can send the Fusion Material Monster that is specified on a Fusion Monster Card from your field to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck!"

I've chosen to use my [Entertainment Partner Heterochromatic Melter] and [Tune Magician] as materials for a Fusion Summon!

The staff was raised high by the mage in leather, and a vortex instantly burst forth from it. The two monsters chosen by Yuya also instantly turned into light and disappeared into the vortex.

"The power of thunder, now reside within the heterochromatic eye! Fusion Summon! Appear, the two-colored eye that wields lightning! [Heterochromatic Eye Wind and Thunder Dragon]!"

The familiar blue dragon reappeared, accompanied by lightning, and Yuya, almost instinctively, activated the effect of [Odd-Eyes Wind and Thunder Dragon].

"[Odd-Eyes Wind and Thunder Dragon]'s effect! When this card is Special Summoned, target 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls and return that monster to your hand!"

Let's ignite a comeback for [Hanafuda-e - Ame-sikage -], [Heterochromatic Wind and Thunder Dragon]!

Upon hearing the effect of Yuya's activation, Desong immediately gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression.

Because his remaining cards are simply incapable of countering this effect.

As for Yuya, seeing that Tokusatsu made no move, he also decisively entered the battle phase:

"Battle has begun! [Opposite-eyed Gatling Dragon], [Opposite-eyed Tyrant Pendulum Dragon], launch a direct attack!"

As the two dragon beasts opened their gaping maws, crimson lightning and purplish-black energy condensed together. Once they reached their critical points within the two beasts' mouths, the energy instantly transformed into beams of light, rushing towards the unsuspecting Desong.

In an instant, Desong's LP was reset to zero, and he was sent flying backward, smashing the white-clothed platform he had just been sitting on.

As the white cloth fluttered, precious cards emerged from beneath it, scattering like a shower of flowers due to Desong's impact.

"Big guy!"

Seeing that Deson had been defeated in one round and was in such a miserable state, his two underlings hurriedly ran towards their leader, not even caring about the precious Leica scattered on the ground and trampled under their feet.

Hearing footsteps, the two turned around and saw Yuya approaching. They immediately stood up and blocked Tokumatsu's path.

"You've already won, what are you doing here?!"

"No, I just came to check if this big shot was alright..."

However, Yuya's good intentions were only seen as a provocation by his two henchmen, who stood up to grab him by the collar, but were stopped by a voice from behind them:

"Stop it, you two."

"Big guy!"

Seeing that Tokumatsu Chojiro had regained consciousness, the two quickly abandoned Yuya and rushed towards him. However, Tokumatsu Chojiro ignored them and walked straight towards Yuya, then lowered his head.

“I lost. I acknowledge your strength as a duelist, and you are now qualified to be at the top of this containment facility. However…”

Tokumatsu Chojiro raised his head again, and Yuya could see that his eyes burned with a raging fire called ambition.

"Although I lost to you this time, I will challenge you again when I feel I can defeat you. Until then, I acknowledge your status as the top person here, and I will help you whatever you want to do, because these are the rules you set."

"Um, boss..."

Yuya chuckled awkwardly, wanting to say something, but before he could finish speaking, Tokumatsu Chojiro interrupted him, shaking his head.

“You don’t need to call me boss anymore. Now, you are the real boss here.”

“I understand, Mr. Chojiro…”

Extending his hand, Yuya said with a smile,

"Although I won, you still showed me a very impressive duel. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Chojiro."

Tokumatsu Chojiro blankly reached out and shook hands with Yuya. Although Yuya had successfully defeated him in the duel, in terms of actual age and appearance, Yuya was still a big kid.

And how long has it been since he last saw children's smiling faces?

Chapter 158 The Ignition of the Spirit of Rebellion

"Well then, we'll be going now. Goodbye, Mr. Chojiro."

After Yuya and the others said goodbye to Chojiro, Chojiro watched Yuya and his companions leave together.

At this moment, the prison guard who had just witnessed Yuya's clean and decisive defeat of Chojiro also put aside his previous casual attitude towards Yuya and respectfully led the way for Yuya.

After all, having gained Chojiro's approval, Yuya was now the true boss of the asylum, whether he accepted it or not. Even Chojiro said that Yuya could freely use the cards he had collected.

Therefore, the prison guards also knew that if they served Yuya well, they might be able to get a lot of good cards that had slipped through his hands.

After they left, Chojiro's two henchmen gathered around, chattering away:

"Hmph, at least that kid knew what was good for him. When Lord Chojiro said he would give him the card, he knew to refuse. Otherwise, if the other people in the prison knew about this, there might be quite a few who would try to win the card back from him through a duel."

That will keep him very busy.

"That's right, that's right."

Upon hearing his two underlings' words, Chojiro immediately frowned and gave the order:

"Alright, there's no need to say such things anymore. Life is like a duel; if you lose, just admit it properly, and there will always be a time when you can win back. Go and tell the others to treat me the same way from now on."

"Yes……"

Watching his two underlings run off dejectedly to deliver the message, Chojiro remained silent, recalling the words Yuya had just whispered in his ear:

"Mr. Chojiro, don't you want to leave here?"

Should we leave here and go back outside?
