Yu-Gi-Oh!: I use an Orichalcos deck

Page 282

Yuki struggled to sit up and found himself lying on an unfamiliar street. He was surrounded by Japanese-style buildings, and pedestrians in strange uniforms were coming and going. Most bizarrely, almost everyone wore a metal device on their arm—it was clearly a Duel Disk from the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime!

Where am I? Yuki looked down at his arm and gasped – he was also wearing a futuristic-looking duel disk on his left wrist, and the feel of it was so real that it didn’t feel like an illusion.

Another lost duelist? The same voice rang out again. Yuuki looked up and saw a man in a black trench coat and sunglasses looking down at him. "Judging by your appearance, you've just arrived in Domino City, haven't you?"

Domino City? Isn't that the main setting of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime? Yuki's mind was a mess, but instinct told him this wasn't the time to delve into it. He struggled to his feet, dusting off his clothes: "Sorry, I'm... a little... lost."

The man in the trench coat grinned, revealing a set of uneven teeth: Lost? In this world, duels are everything. Since we've met, how about a duel? He brandished the duel disk on his arm, a dangerous glint in his eyes. If you lose, you'll have to hand over your valuable cards.

Yu Ji instinctively took a step back. He had participated in countless offline competitions, but had never encountered such a street gambling situation. What was even stranger was that the passersby around seemed to take this scene for granted, and some even stopped to watch.

"I...I don't have any cards I can gamble with." Yuki tried to politely decline.

The man in the trench coat's smile vanished: Refusing a duel? In this world, refusing a duel invitation is the most cowardly act. He suddenly lifted his trench coat, revealing a row of glittering cards at his waist. "Look closely, this is my Six Samurai deck! If you refuse, I don't mind taking your cards in other ways."

Yuki's throat tightened. This was absurd—he had actually transmigrated into the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!, and right from the start, he'd encountered street duelists trying to force him to buy something! He instinctively reached into his pocket, surprised to find a stack of cards. Pulling them out, he saw it was indeed his original Saiyan-themed deck, but the number of cards seemed significantly more than he remembered, and…

These are...new cards? Yuki stared wide-eyed at several cards he had never seen before, such as Saiyan Prince Vegeta and Super Saiyan transformation cards. The art style of these cards was completely different from the official Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, more like fan art, but the backs of the cards were printed with the official Konami logo.

It seems you've decided to accept the challenge. The man in the trench coat misunderstood Yuki's mutterings and has already unfolded the Duel Disk. "I am Kurokawa. Remember the name of the one who defeats you!"

The Duel Disk emitted a mechanical whirring sound, the projection system activated, and the surrounding scenery suddenly transformed into a virtual battlefield. Yuki felt his own Duel Disk vibrating, as if it had been forcibly activated.

"Duel!" Kurokawa shouted.

Yuki had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the challenge: a...duel!

I'll go first! Kurokawa quickly draws five cards, and I summon Six Samurai Retired (ATK 400)! Then I activate the Spell Card Six Samurai Unity! This card gains two Bushido Counters each time a Six Samurai monster is Special Summoned to my field or Graveyard!

Yuki watched nervously as a cloaked samurai phantom appeared on his opponent's field, along with a spell card whose counter was rapidly increasing. This opening was all too familiar—Six Samurai was a deck known for its rapid field flooding; if he didn't stop them quickly...

When I have a Six Samurai monster on my field, I can Special Summon Six Samurai Shadow Warrior (400 ATK) from my hand! Kurokawa continues, "Now I have two Bushido Counters. Remove these two counters and add Six Samurai Gate from my Deck to my hand!"

Yuki's forehead was beaded with cold sweat. His starting hand consisted of: Saiyan Lower-Class Warrior (1600 attack), Saiyan Battle Suit (Equipment Spell), Ki Blast (Quick-Play Spell), Saiyan Pride (Continuous Spell), and Teleport (Trap Card). Not bad, but he seemed somewhat overwhelmed by the Six Samurai's offensive strategy.

Activate the Gate of Six Samurai! A giant torii gate appears on Kurokawa's field. Each time a Six Samurai monster is summoned, this card gains one Bushido Counter. Then, I Normal Summon True Six Samurai - Shining Blade (ATK 1800)!

Another warrior phantom appeared, this time an elite warrior wielding two swords.

"Bright Slash's effect: Special Summon Shadow Warrior of the Six Samurai from my Graveyard! I now have three monsters on my field, and I've accumulated four Bushido Counters!" Kurokawa chuckled smugly. "Remove four counters and Special Summon True Six Samurai - Shien (ATK 2500) from my Deck!"

Yuki gasped. Shien was one of the Six Samurai's trump cards, and his appearance in the first round would put immense pressure on any opponent.

"Not over yet! I activate the effect of Purple Flame, negating my opponent's Spell/Trap Cards once per turn!" Kurokawa grinned maliciously, setting two cards face down, and ending his turn! "How about that, kid? You've witnessed the true power of a duelist, haven't you?"

Yuuki looked at his opponent's field: 2500 attack power Purple Flame, 1800 attack power Radiant Slash, two 400 attack power minions, two face-down cards, and one continuous spell that could disrupt spells and traps. He only had five cards in his hand...

My turn... Draw a card! Yuuki took a deep breath and looked at the newly drawn card—the Saiyan's near-death resurrection. The card art depicted a battered and bruised Son Goku unleashing his power in a desperate situation.

"I usually summon a lower-class Saiyan warrior!" Yuuki slammed the card onto the Duel Disk. A muscular warrior phantom with a tail wrapped around his waist appeared on the field (ATK 1600).

Then activate the Saiyan battle suit equipment magic, increasing the lower-level warrior's attack power by 500! Vegeta-style battle armor (attack power 2100) appears on the warrior's body.

"Battle phase! I'll attack the True Six Samurai - Shinzan with a Saiyan Lower-Class Warrior!" Yuuki commanded.

Foolish! Kurokawa laughed, activating the Trap Card Six-Sword Style Two-Sword Style! The attack power of Shining Slash increases by 1500 until the end of the turn!

Hui Zhan's twin blades suddenly flashed with a blinding light (attack power 3300). Yuki's lower-ranking warrior was instantly defeated in the battle, his health dropping from 4000 to 2800.

"It's not over yet! A direct attack from Zi Yan!" Kurokawa shouted. The tall samurai leader swung his long sword, unleashing a sword aura that slashed straight down.

Yuki gritted his teeth: Activate the Quick Attack Magic Qi Wave! Reduces Purple Flame's attack power by 1000 and deals 500 damage!

A golden energy wave shot out from Yuki's hand, colliding with the sword energy. Purple Flame's attack power dropped to 1500, but it still caused considerable damage. Yuki's health dropped to 1300, and Kurokawa's health also dropped to 3500.

Two cards are covered, turn ends. Yuuki, panting, puts down his Saiyan pride and Instant Transmission. Things are bad, but he notices he already has a Saiyan Lower-Rank Warrior in his graveyard—some card effects might require this condition.

"My turn, draw a card!" Kurokawa glanced at his hand, a confident expression on his face, and activated the Spell Card "Six Samurai's Wild Journey"! Special Summon True Six Samurai - En (ATK 1700) from the Deck! Then En's effect activated, Special Summoning Six Samurai's Retired One from the Graveyard!

Yuki's pupils contracted. Two more monsters instantly appeared on his opponent's field, and Bushido tokens were rapidly accumulating.

"Now, let me show you the true power of the Six Samurai!" Kurokawa shouted. "I will summon the Level 3 Recluse, the Shadow Warrior, and the Level 4 Encho!"

The three monsters transformed into points of light, forming seven shining stars in the sky.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ····

Synchro Summon! Descend, True Six Samurai - Oni-Giri (Attack Power 2500)!

A new samurai phantom descended from the sky, wielding a massive sword, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

The effect of Oni-Slash is to destroy one Spell/Trap Card on your opponent's field once per turn! Kurokawa points to Yuki's face-down card, "I choose the one on the left!"

A flash of light, and Yuki's Saiyan pride was shattered. But his Instant Transmission on the right remained unscathed.

Fight! Purple flames attack your health! Kurokawa commands.

Ziyan swung his sword again, and Yuki's health points dropped to zero... as expected.

"Activate the Trap Card Instant Teleport!" Yuki suddenly shouted. "When my Life Points are below 1000, I can skip my opponent's Battle Phase and Special Summon a Saiyan Monster from my Deck!"

The blade of Zi Yan suddenly stopped just inches away from Yuki's throat, forcibly ending the entire battle.

What? Kurokawa stared in shock as Yuki pulled a card from his deck. This effect...

"I Special Summon Saiyan Prince Vegeta (ATK 2400)!" Yuuki placed the card onto the Duel Disk. An arrogant Saiyan phantom appeared on the field with his arms crossed, surrounded by a pale golden aura.

Kurokawa frowned: "It's just a monster with 2400 attack power. I can..."

Not over yet! Yuuki interrupted him, activating the Saiyan's near-death revival effect in the Graveyard! When your Life Points are below 1000, you can Special Summon one Saiyan monster from the Graveyard and double its ATK! Revive, Saiyan Low-Rank Warrior!

..... ...... ....

The Saiyan warrior who had been defeated earlier stood up again, his whole body burning with golden flames (attack power 3200).

What?! Kurokawa's expression changed drastically. Attack power 3200?!

Battle! Yuki points to (one) Qi Liuyi』〧San Er Jiu【?2、Kurokawa's Purple Flame, Saiyan lower-class warrior attacks the True Six Samurai - Purple Flame! Big Explosion Attack!

The Saiyan warrior conjured a massive energy ball in his hands and blasted it towards Shien. After the explosion, Kurokawa's health plummeted from 3500 to 800.

Saiyan Prince Vegeta attacks directly! Ultimate Flash! Vegeta's phantom hands gather dazzling light, striking Kurokawa directly.

The trap card attack is rendered useless! Kurokawa hurriedly flips over his last face-down card to end your battle phase!

Vegeta's attack was blocked by a barrier. Yuki clicked his tongue: End of turn.

Cold sweat beaded on Kurokawa's forehead: My turn... Draw! He glanced at the newly drawn card, his expression suddenly turning ferocious as he activated the Spell Card Six Samurai's Reason! Special Summon True Six Samurai - Shining Slash from the Graveyard! Then Normal Summon Six Samurai's Spirit Generation (ATK 500)!

Now, I will use my level 4 Shining Slash and Spirit Summoning! Kurokawa shouts, Synchro Summon! Allied Justice Catastrophe Insect (Attack Power 2200)!

A mechanical insect monster appeared on the field, its metal shell gleaming coldly.

The effect of the Calamity Insect is that it can attack again when it destroys an opponent's monster in battle! Kurokawa points at Vegeta, battle begins! The Calamity Insect attacks the Saiyan Prince Vegeta!

Yuuki frowned: Vegeta's attack power is 2400, your monster only has 2200...

Activate the effect of the Six Samurai Gate! Remove four Bushido Counters and increase the attack power of the Calamity Worm by 500! Kurokawa laughed wildly, "Furthermore, when the Calamity Worm battles a monster of the same attribute, it destroys it without performing damage calculations!"

The Calamity Insect's attack power increased to 2700, and a laser beam shot out from its compound eyes. Vegeta's phantom dissipated under the attack, but due to its unique effect, it did not cause any combat damage.

The effect of the Calamity Insect's Moon/Ripple - (I) is triggered, allowing for another attack! This time, the target is a Saiyan lower-class warrior! Kurokawa continues to issue orders.

Yuki gritted his teeth: Activate the graveyard effect of Saiyan Prince Vegeta! When he is destroyed, you can add one Super Saiyan card from your deck to your hand during your next Standby Phase!

That will be of absolutely no help to your current predicament! Kurokawa mocked, "Disaster Worms, attack!"

Another laser beam pierced through the air, annihilating Yuki's Saiyan warrior. Now his field was empty, his hand was empty, and he only had 1300 life points compared to Kurokawa's 800.

Chapter 311 First Battle

Cover a card, end your turn! Kurokawa said smugly, "Next turn will be your death!"

Yuki closed his eyes. Was this a real duel? Completely different from his usual recreational battles, every reduction in his life points was accompanied by real pain, and every attack from the monsters seemed to echo with their cries of agony.

No, now is not the time to back down. Yuki suddenly opened his eyes: My turn, draw a card!

He looked at the newly drawn card—Super Saiyan Transformation! This was exactly what he needed!

"Activate the graveyard effect of Saiyan Prince Vegeta to add Super Saiyan Transformation to my hand!" Yuki announced, retrieving that card from his deck.

Then, activate the Spell Card Super Saiyan Transformation! Yuuki raises the card high, Special Summoning a Saiyan monster from his hand and Graveyard, doubling its ATK! Revive, Saiyan Prince Vegeta!

Vegeta's phantom reappeared, but this time his hair had turned into a dazzling gold, and he was surrounded by a lightning-like aura (attack power 4800).

4800 attack power?! Kurokawa's face turned deathly pale.

"That's not all!" Yuki continued, "The second effect of Super Saiyan transformation! When a monster Special Summoned by this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap/Monster effects!"

"Impossible!" Kurokawa stared in horror at his card, "My six-foot-long magatama..."

Battle! Super Saiyan Vegeta launches a direct attack! Ultimate Flash - Full Power! Yuuki swings his hand with all his might.

Vegeta unleashed devastating energy waves from his hands, instantly engulfing Kurokawa's area. Kurokawa's health dropped from 800 to zero, and he was thrown several meters by the impact before crashing heavily to the ground.

"The victor is Yuuki!" the mechanical female voice announced.

The virtual battlefield around them gradually dissipated, returning to the scene of an ordinary street. Several onlookers gasped in amazement, some even applauding. You Ji's legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground, panting heavily. He had won, he had really won!

Kurokawa struggled to his feet, his face horribly grim: "You...you bastard..." He suddenly pulled a card from his waist and threw it at Yuki. "As agreed, take it!" But don't think that's the end of it!

Yuki instinctively caught the flying card and discovered it was a card for the Six Samurai's instructor. He looked up as if to say something, but Kurokawa had already turned and walked away quickly, disappearing around the street corner.

"Congratulations, newcomer." An elderly man watching smiled. "Defeating Kurokawa in your first street duel, not bad at all."

Yuki struggled to his feet: Excuse me... where exactly is this place?

The old man gave him a strange look: "Domino City, the holy land of duelists. Which rural place are you from?"

Yuki didn't answer, because he suddenly felt the Duel Disk on his left arm vibrate. A holographic screen automatically popped up, displaying:

Duelist: Yuuki

[Rank: Bronze]

[DP Points: 100] (Obtained by defeating Kurokawa)

[Deck: Saiyan Deck (Incomplete)]

[Special Ability: Not yet unlocked]

Even more bizarrely, there was a line of flashing red text at the bottom of the screen: [Collection Progress: 0/7].

"What is this..." Yuki muttered to himself.

"It seems you've been chosen." The old man's expression suddenly turned serious. Every so often, outsiders like you appear in Domino City. Some of them become legendary duelists, while others... vanish forever.
