Chapter 137
"Yugi?"
"The Joey Wheeler I know, even though he often doesn't even read his Card effects and prefers powerful Monsters over Spell/Traps, he's never been an indecisive person." Yugi smiled, "Just like you, Joey Wheeler, I also have a reason why I must reach the end of the Duelist Kingdom."
Joey Wheeler understood. Yugi had seen that his current state wasn't right and was reminding him. "Let's Duel, Joey Wheeler. Let's put our honor as Duelists on the line, cast aside our Burden, and Duel without any Worries."
Joey Wheeler lowered his head, silent for a moment, then looked up again, a smile on his face: "I understand. Thank you, Yugi."
"Alright, my Attack is coming!" Joey Wheeler's somewhat low mood was re-energized, his voice several decibels louder, "Activate the Spell Card in my Hand, Forbidden Chalice! It increases my Black Panther Warrior's ATK by 400 Points, but its Effect is negated!"
A golden goblet appeared in Black Panther Warrior's Hand. After taking a sip of the red, blood-like wine, the Aura around Black Panther Warrior intensified significantly.
[Black Panther Warrior] [ATK 2000 → 2400]
Joey Wheeler wiped his nose and said with a smile, "Although Forbidden Chalice can increase the ATK of other Monsters, the Effect it brings is a Negative Effect. But for Black Panther Warrior, its own Effect is the biggest Negative Effect."
"Black Panther Warrior, Attack that Giant Shield Gardna in Attack Position on Yugi's Field!" Joey Wheeler commanded. The black panther warrior immediately gripped the curved blade in its Hand and arrived before the shield-wielding warrior. The sharp blade sliced through the air, leaving a crescent mark. Giant Shield Gardna was surely Destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. "This is my serious Duel in return for you, Yugi!"
"I've received your Feelings, Joey Wheeler." Even though his Monster was Destroyed and his Life Points dropped significantly, Yugi smiled.
[Yugi: 4000 LP → 1700]
The Smoke left behind after Giant Shield Gardna was Destroyed quickly Dispersed. However, amidst the floating Dust, a figure slowly stood up.
"After Giant Shield Gardna was Destroyed by you, I activated this Set Card." Yugi pointed to the Card in his Spell/Trap Zone that was now face-up, "Dark Deal. When I take Damage, I can Special Summon a DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type Monster from my Deck with ATK less than or equal to the amount of Damage taken."
"Hehe, it's me!" The Monster that appeared on Yugi's Field said playfully. Beneath the sky-blue, low-cut mage robe and cute pink short skirt was fair skin. She wore a slightly oversized hat on her golden hair. Noticing Hayato's gaze on her, she even gave him a cute pose.
"So, so cute!" Joey Wheeler covered his nose with one Hand, his cheeks flushed, seemingly charmed by the Monster. "To make the Footage of a Duel Monster so cute, that Kaiba guy really does have some skills."
As soon as he said this, the others didn't react much, but Kujaku Mai immediately stood up from her seat and shouted towards Yugi, "Hey, Yugi, give that Joey Wheeler guy a good beating! Don't hold back!"
Kujaku Mai's uncharacteristic shouting, a departure from her usual lady-like Form, made Samejima lean his head closer to Hayato's ear in surprise. "Um, Hayato? Is Miss Mai always like this? And why is she suddenly so excited?"
"They're a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman. It's normal for us not to understand the things between ambiguous men and women, Uncle Samejima." Hayato lowered his voice, taking advantage of the fact that Joey Wheeler and Kujaku Mai couldn't hear them, and freely spread gossip about them. "Let me tell you, those two are actually *that* kind of relationship."
"Oh, she's jealous."
Suddenly encouraged and cheered on by Kujaku Mai from the sidelines, the usually composed Pharaoh couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but he quickly recovered and said to Joey Wheeler, "Ahem, anyway, the Duel continues."
"The Battle Damage I took from Black Panther Warrior was 2300 Points, so I can Special Summon a DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type Monster with ATK 2300 or less from my Deck with the Effect of Dark Deal. And the one I Summoned is this one, Dark Magician Girl with 2000 ATK."
[Dark Magician Girl] [Level 6 / DARK]
[Spellcaster Type / Effect]
[2000 ATK / 1700 DEF]
"So you guided me earlier not to hesitate, but to Duel seriously, just so you could Summon a Monster with higher ATK? Yugi, you're really despicable." Joey Wheeler Ranted, then looked at his empty Hand and said helplessly, "Alright, my Turn ends."
[Joey Wheeler: 3200 LP, Hand 0]
[Gearfried the Iron Knight] [ATK 1800]
[Black Panther Warrior] [ATK 2400 → 2000]
Yugi: "My Turn, Draw a Card!"
Looking at the Card added to his Hand, Yugi smiled. "Then I'm going on the Offensive, Joey Wheeler."
"Summon Queen's Knight, which returned to my Hand earlier, in Attack Position! Then Activate the Spell Card, United We Stand!"
The valiant female knight—Queen's Knight—returned to the Field. As soon as she appeared, a blue light emerged from Dark Magician Girl and entered Queen's Knight's Body.
[Queen's Knight] [ATK 1500 → 1900]
"Her ATK increased by 400 Points all at once?"
Yugi explained, "The Effect of United We Stand is that for each Warrior Type or Spellcaster Type Monster on my Field, the ATK of my Warrior Type Monsters increases by 200 Points."
"I have the Spellcaster Type Dark Magician Girl and the Warrior Type Queen's Knight on my Field, so all Warrior Type Monsters on my Field gain 400 ATK." He paused, then smiled, "Although I say that, Queen's Knight is the only Warrior Type Monster I have."
"Alright, Queen's Knight and Dark Magician Girl, Attack Gearfried the Iron Knight and Black Panther Warrior respectively!"
Under the divine Connection of F2, the Female Force on Yugi's Field launched a Total Attack on Joey Wheeler's Monsters, going all out. Queen's Knight, supported by Dark Magician Girl, had her ATK increased to 1900 Points, which was exactly 100 Points higher than Gearfried the Iron Knight, the Monster that almost Destroyed her earlier. With a swing of her blade, she cleaved through the steel, successfully getting her revenge.
Meanwhile, Dark Magician Girl and Black Panther Warrior, with equal ATK, resulted in a Mutual Destruction.
