At the beginning, I traveled through Cheng Qisara to the DM world

The next day, the weather was not as sunny as before, but was covered with dark clouds.

Everyone arrived at the competition venue and no one spoke along the way. Although Kisara, Yugi, and Jonouchi were all very happy to compete with each other yesterday, when it really came to this moment, no one was happy because no matter who lost, it would be their partner's regretful defeat.

At this time, Pegasus came out and sat on his exclusive "throne". The referee walked to the edge of the terrace and looked at the people watching the game below.

"The second stage of the Duelist Kingdom elimination tournament begins now. Yugi Muto vs. Katsuya Jonouchi. Please step down and board the dueling machines."

At this time, Yugi and Jonouchi had already arrived next to the duel machine and boarded it.

"Well then, Yugi Muto vs. Katsuya Jonouchi. The winner can duel with Kisara to compete for the title of the ultimate Duel King. The match begins!"

"Yugi, before the duel, I want to thank you. If it weren't for your metal star, I wouldn't be standing here. However, as a duelist, no matter who my opponent is, I will use all my strength to defeat him. Yugi, I also hope that you can fight me with all your strength!"

"Jounouchi, I understand. As your friend, and more importantly, as a duelist, I will fight with all my might!"

"Hehehe, how interesting! Friends who once trusted each other are now standing on opposite sides of each other. I wonder how this duel will develop."

"Duel! x2"

Dark Game LP4000

Katsuya Jonouchi LP4000

"Yugi, I got the first strike, it's my turn, draw a card!"

"Come on, Jonouchi!"

"I activate the Spell Card [One on One] from my hand. This card's effect sends a monster to the Graveyard, allowing me to Special Summon a Level 1 monster from my hand or deck."

"I discard [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from my hand, and then Special Summon [Legendary Black Stone] from my deck in Attack Position!" (0/0)

"Activate the special effect of [Legendary Black Stone], Tribute this card, and Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower [Red-Eyes] monster from your Deck."

"I Special Summon [Red-Eyes Thunder King - Evil Demon] from my deck!" (2500/1200)

"Then I summon [Red-Eyes Thunder Emperor - Evil Demon] once again, covering two cards. End of turn!" (Hand remaining: 2)

"Hehe, not bad. Jonouchi summoned the Thunder King in the first round and even summoned it a second time. Yugi, what are you going to do?" Qisara looked at Yugi.

"The other me, Jonouchi, is different now. You have to be careful!"

"Yeah, I know. I never underestimated Jonouchi from the beginning. Now look to me."

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I summon [Black Magic Wand] from my hand. When this card is successfully summoned, you can add 1 Spell/Trap Card with the name of [Black Magician] from your deck to your hand."

"The card I added to my hand is this [Illusion Magic]!"

"Then I activate this Quick-Play Spell Card [Dimensional Magic], targeting a Spellcaster-Type monster on my side of the field. This activates a monster on my side of the field, allowing me to Special Summon a Spellcaster-Type monster from my hand."

"I release the [Magician's Staff] on my field and Special Summon [Black Magician of Chaos] from my hand!" (2800/2600)

"Activate the effect of [Dimensional Magic] and destroy a monster on the field. I'm destroying [Red-Eyes Thunder King - Evil Demon]!"

"What!" Jonouchi quickly opened the covered cards.

"Activate the Continuous Trap Card [Red-Eyes Triumph]. If you control a [Red-Eyes] monster, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 Normal monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster."

"I Special Summon [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from the Graveyard in Defense Position!" (2400/2000)

"Continue the chain, destroy the [Red-Eyes Thunder Emperor - Evil Demon]!"

The ferocious Thunder King on the inner ground of the city was wrapped in iron sheets with chains and then exploded.

"[Black Magician of Chaos] attacks [Red-Eyes Black Dragon]!"

"Activate the Trap Card [Check]. This can only be activated when your opponent's monster declares an attack. Check all cards in your opponent's hand. If there are monster cards among them, that attack is negated. Then, select 1 monster from your opponent's hand and discard it."

"Yugi, let me see your hand!"

Yugi frowned and showed his hand. At this time, Yugi only had one monster card in his hand.

"As expected, there's a monster card. Yugi, this time [Black Magician of Chaos]'s attack is negated, and please discard [Choco-Electromagnetic Turtle] in your hand!"

Yugi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sent the [Super Electromagnetic Turtle] into the graveyard.

"I cover two cards, turn ends!"

"This instant, I activate the effect of [Chaos Black Magician]. During the End Phase of the turn this card is Summoned or Special Summoned, you can add a Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand. I chose [Dimensional Magic]." (Hand Remaining: 2)

"Huh, I didn't expect the duel between these two to be so intense at the beginning. It seems like whoever makes a wrong move will be thrown into the abyss of defeat." Honda said.

"That's right, but these two are still in the testing stage, and their ace monsters haven't come out yet." said Bakura.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Greed] from my hand, and I draw two cards from my deck."

"The [Black Magician of Chaos] on the field has the effect of banishing monsters destroyed by it in battle. It's very disadvantageous to me. I need to find a way to deal with it!"

"Activate my Continuous Trap Card [Red-Eyes Triumph] and Special Summon [Red-Eyes Thunder King - Evil Demon] from the Graveyard!" (2500/1200)

"Summon [Red-Eyes Thunder King - Evil Devil] again!"

"Jounouchi, you're trying to use the Thunder King's effect to destroy my [Black Magician of Chaos], but my [Black Magician of Chaos] has a defense of 2600, so you can't destroy it!"

"Haha, who said it can't be destroyed."

"what!"

Jonouchi took out a card.

"I activate the Equip Spell Card [Dark Dragon's Claw] from my hand. I equip this card to [Red-Eyes Thunder King - Evil Demon], increasing its attack power by 600 points and making it indestructible to the opponent's spell effects!"

[Red-Eyes Thunder King - Evil Devil] (3100/1200)

"This time, the attack power of [Red-Eyes Thunder Emperor - Evil Demon] surpasses the defense of [Chaos Black Magician]!"

"Activate the special effect of [Red-Eyes Thunder King - Evil Demon] to destroy your opponent's monsters with a higher defense than Thunder King's attack power!"

"Open the cover!" Yugi opened his cover.

"I activate the quick-play spell card [Illusion Magic] and release [Chaos Black Magician] to circumvent the effect of [Red-Eyes Thunder Emperor - Evil Demon]. Then, I add two [Black Magicians] from my deck to my hand!"

"Yugi, you have no battle monsters on the field. I will change [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] to Attack Position."

"Fight! [Red-Eyes Thunder King - Evil Demon] attacks the player directly!"

"Hmph!" A cold snort sounded.
