The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　It was the right arm of a certain giant emperor!

　Correspondingly, this set of magic cards may also include parts such as "The Giant Emperor's Left Arm", "The Giant Emperor's Right Foot", "The Giant Emperor's Left Foot", and so on.

　I wonder if Professor Jones has a complete set of magic cards.

　But for now, Dak has no time to consider those things.

　He sensed a powerful aura from that "right arm of the giant emperor," a power distinct from divinity.

　That aura was exceptionally terrifying, causing those who faced it to feel a tremor that went straight to their souls.

　It must be a Magical Spirit Card from the fifth tier or higher. Even if it's not a "God Card", its ranking is far higher than that of regular fifth-tier Magical Cards, and even higher than "Mountain Giant King"!

　Let alone the "Dark Demon's" "Illusionary Demon Technique," even the "Golden Divine Might" might not be effective against it!

　In terms of its uniqueness, "Golden Kamuy" can exhibit a higher ranking in effect judgment due to the true awakening of the "Golden King".

　However, this growth also has its limits.

　Furthermore, due to the limitations of the ultimate move itself, it is virtually impossible for it to be effective against magical spirits that are clearly classified as being in the sixth tier.

　The reason it works on the "Mountain Giant King" is that although the "Mountain Giant King" has a high ranking, it is still in the fifth tier.

　That's why "PK" (player versus player) is based.

　But even with a foundation for "PK" (player versus player) combat, this "right arm of the giant emperor"...

　"No ifs!"

　Dak suddenly realized that he had been thinking far too much.

　While using magic to accelerate thinking can make one's thinking more meticulous, the sheer volume of thoughts mixed together in a short period of time will inevitably place a tremendous burden on the brain.

　On the other hand, it can make people "hesitant." The more you think, the more hesitant you become.

　This is a phenomenon that is difficult to change.

　He immediately stopped himself after realizing he had fallen into a "thinking trap".

　Just as the two "Golden Kings" were about to rush out of the "Golden City," their actions diverged.

　One of the "Golden Kings" stopped on the city wall, while the other "Golden King" continued its charge, its "Golden Sword" radiating golden light and extending into a giant golden sword.

　There exists in this world a being that possesses only a vast aura, yet is empty in substance.

　Without slashing it with a sword, one cannot know its true nature. Upon receiving the order, the "Golden King" rushed to the vicinity of the "Giant Emperor's Right Arm," and with a sudden burst of power, his entire golden body leaped into the air. The "Golden Sword" in his hand, gleaming with golden light, slashed at the left arm with lightning speed.

　"hiss--"

　The sound of a sword cutting was like being struck by tattered cotton.

　On the "right arm of the giant emperor," there were only some dents from the sword blade, not even a trace of white mark!

　The ability to "golden" was slightly triggered, but the glimmer of gold that had just appeared shattered silently.

　Even with the power of the Golden King's sword strike enhanced by the Golden Sword, it was impossible to break through the Giant Emperor's left arm!

　"Size advantage!"

　Dark immediately recalled the unique characteristics of the King of Giants, which were present in both the Mountain Giant King and the City Giant. Knowing that the Golden King could no longer effectively harm him, he immediately issued a new command to him.

　—Decapitation strike tactics!

　At this moment, in this situation, only a decapitation strike offers a glimmer of hope.

　But after Dark thought of it, he saw the "Giant Emperor's Right Arm" suddenly raise the hand that was supporting it on the ground, and then, as if swatting a fly, with terrifying wind pressure, slap it towards the "Golden King"!

　"boom!"

　The "Golden King" had just unleashed a sword strike, but it was unable to escape the range of that giant hand.

　With a deafening roar, the "Golden King" vanished without a trace.

　The "Golden King," who had just returned from the "graveyard," was casually slapped to death on the ground with this one palm strike.

　Prepare...

　Dark's expression darkened further.

　The "Golden King," standing atop the city wall, retreated rapidly at his command. He himself flew back towards the edge of the arena.

　The only option now is to use the "Golden City" to control the field and buy as much time as possible in order to secure the next turn.

　He had expected Professor Jones to hesitate slightly, but in reality, he didn't hesitate at all.

　After killing a "Golden King", the "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor" suddenly "reached out" under its control, and the arm itself moved forward rapidly as it made this move.

　In the blink of an eye, it had already flown into the territory of the "Golden City" and landed on top of the second "Golden King".

　"boom!"

　There are no special moves. Only pure stats.

　A huge, terrifying palm print appeared on the spot where it was struck. "Golden King" barely dodged the blow thanks to Dark's anticipation.

　But what followed was a second palm strike, and then a third! "Bang!"

　"boom!"

　Each time the giant hand slammed down, the dueling stage trembled violently. The tremors even spread throughout the entire dueling arena. Some spectators jumped up in fright, and screams echoed throughout the arena. Although the "Golden King's" dodging posture still retained a trace of kingly demeanor, his dodging became increasingly strained.

　It wasn't that it slowed down, but rather that the "right arm of the giant emperor" was speeding up! Its palm was rising and falling faster and faster, and the intervals between each loud bang were getting shorter and shorter.

　The "Golden King" is becoming increasingly difficult to dodge.

　But at least it successfully attracted the attention of "the right arm of the giant emperor". Dark finally got another turn to switch.

　He didn't wait for the Duel Disk to automatically draw cards; he directly drew two Magic Cards from the top of his deck.

　The moment he got his hands on those two magic cards, he knew he didn't need to make any more choices.

　"In the name of Darkdemon, a magical summons—'The Crimson-Stained Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality'!"

　As he silently recited the incantation for a normal summoning spell, the "Golden Land Dancer" began her "Dance of the Sandstorm," summoning a devastating sandstorm.

　Hidden within the sandstorm, he successfully summoned the "Red-Crimson Bloodstained Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality" and triggered its effect ②, Special Summoning the third "Golden Kingdom Alchemist" from the deck.

　He immediately ordered the "Golden Country Dancer" to perform the "Funeral Dance," which would remove the "Golden Country Rider" from the deck and send it to the "Graveyard."

　Then, he sacrificed the "Golden Land Dancer" to activate the effect ② of "Eternal Shining Golden Land," resurrecting the "Golden King" who had just died in battle!

　When the third "Golden King" is summoned. When the first "Golden King" is resurrected and returns.

　In the "Golden City," three "Golden Kings" appeared at the same time. But before this scene could attract attention, the second "Golden King" was caught up and killed by [the Right Arm of the Giant Emperor].

　Dark's expression was grave and urgent. Although he had also sent the "Golden Country Cavalry" to the "graveyard," it was only a "side move."

　The situation is changing rapidly.

　In this extremely short period of time, things have become completely different from before.

　The usefulness of the "Knight of the Golden Country" has been greatly reduced.

　The third "Golden King," under its command, activated "Golden Kamuy" the moment it appeared.

　A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire "Golden City," pressing down on the "Giant Emperor's Right Arm" as if it were a tangible force.

　Dark sacrificed the newly resurrected second "Golden King" as a tribute to summon the "Dark Demon" from his hand.

　His actions were very decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

　"Golden Kamuy" is not entirely ineffective against "The Right Arm of the Giant Emperor." This shows that it is indeed still on the fifth tier.

　But the final effect was only to slow its actions down slightly for a moment, giving Dark more room to maneuver.

　In reality, the rank of "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor" was not reduced by one. Therefore, "Equivalent Exchange" no longer had a basis for activation.

　Dark successfully summoned the "Dark Demon" and commanded it to use the "Illusion Demon Technique," while Dark himself used his mental power to enhance the ranking of its ultimate attack.

　This was his last chance to turn the tide. The ethereal "Dark Demon" spread its arms, its claw shadows enlarging, and suddenly lunged forward, skimming the ground.

　Dark shadows overhead and claw marks on the ground plunged the entire dueling arena into darkness in the blink of an eye.

　Dark's mental power, attached to the "Illusionary Demon Art," first collided with the spirit of the "Right Arm of the Giant Emperor," and then enveloped the other nine giants around Professor Jones!

　The three nine-star giants instantly turned their eyes black and drew their swords at her!

　[This month is almost over, don't forget to use your free blades, otherwise they'll disappear when you refresh the page and you'll lose a lot of money!]

　"Boom!"

　In the midst of the mental collision, a loud bang suddenly resounded in Dark's mind, and his entire consciousness fell into chaos for a moment. He could only see a throne standing alone in the darkness, with a giant sitting on the throne, radiating a faint glow, ancient and majestic.

　His mind was drawn to it for a moment, but upon closer inspection, he saw only endless desolation and withering.

　The chaotic world shattered instantly, and Dark's consciousness returned to clarity. He then suddenly looked at the opposite side.

　"Illusionary Demon Art" is a group ultimate skill that can cover the entire field. Even if it cannot affect "The Right Arm of the Giant Emperor", it will surely capture the hearts of the three nine-star giants.

　As he enveloped the area with the "Illusionary Demon Spell," he issued orders to all targets to attack Professor Jones.

　Theoretically, the three nine-star giants should have already made their move by now. They're so close to Professor Jones that their attack would be devastating; even if they couldn't reduce his health by 16000 points in one strike, they should be close enough to do so.

　Predatory ultimate skills that can be unleashed on a group are extremely rare.

　Furthermore, when he unleashed the "Illusionary Demon Spell," he deliberately cast the spell on the "Giant Emperor's Right Arm" first, in order to attract Professor Jones's attention and cause him to make a misjudgment.

　If Professor Jones mistakenly believes that the "Illusionary Demon Technique" is only a single-type ultimate skill, it will create the best opportunity for the three nine-star giants to attack.

　All of these arrangements were made in the blink of an eye.

　If nothing unexpected happens, it should already be effective.

　But the moment his gaze fell upon him, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Dark's face.

　The three giants were indeed affected by the "Illusionary Demon Spell." They may have even launched an attack on Professor Jones for a fleeting moment.

　But now they are crawling on the ground around Professor Jones, trembling with fear.

　Professor Jones, who was surrounded, showed no change in expression, and his life shield remained completely intact!

　Upon seeing that scene, Dark's mind almost immediately filled in the blanks of the scene he hadn't seen before.

　The three giants, under the control of the "Illusionary Demonic Art," launched an attack on Professor Jones, inevitably resulting in a counterattack from him.

　That might be a magic card that was already prepared for activation.

　Or perhaps it was just a glance, a show of force!

　Based on the current situation, the latter is more likely.

　When Professor Jones was ambushed by three giants, he unleashed his kingly aura, instantly subduing the three giants!

　The images in Dak's mind became clearer and clearer, and he immediately realized that the "chance to turn things around" that he had hoped for never existed in the first place.

　Behind the "right arm of the giant emperor" is that ancient and powerful giant emperor.

　Those three nine-star giants had no chance of resisting Professor Jones from the very beginning.

　Because she herself is the "Queen of Giants"!

　...

　After a brief period of reflection, the unavoidable reality came: the "Illusionary Demon Technique" had failed utterly.

　"Golden Divine Might" also failed to work.

　He has now completely lost the opportunity to destroy the "right arm of the giant emperor" or to carry out the "decapitation tactic".

　Although the tactic failed, it doesn't mean the duel is over. But there are still a dozen seconds left before the next round.

　After a very brief pause, the "right arm of the giant emperor" began to move again.

　It's like a "stamp"—a simple, ordinary slap can easily kill even a powerful being like the "Golden King."

　Professor Jones couldn't just sit idly by during this time. In fact, Dark had already seen a magic card light up in her hand.

　In an instant.

　The darkness that had obscured the sky was dispelled, and the shadow of the kingdom emerged in the air. It was a microcosm of the British Empire, vast, oppressive, deathly silent, and heavy!

　It arrives with the end of the world, surrounded by thunder and dark clouds.

　The darkness that had just been dispelled plunged back into pitch blackness in the transition between black and white.
