"Oh? Have you already noticed something?"
Looking at ryo marufuji's stunned expression, Judai Yuki revealed a faint smile.
"Cards in the GY are being sent to the banished zone... Could it be?"
ryo marufuji's gaze focused on "Masked HERO Dark Law" on Judai Yuki's field.
"That's right, this is precisely the effect of Masked HERO Dark Law!"
Judai Yuki no longer concealed it.
After all, even those with discerning eyes could now see Dark Law's effect.
To continue concealing it would be somewhat boring.
"As long as Dark Law exists on the field, any cards you send to the GY will be immediately banished from the game."
Judai Yuki said calmly, uttering words that shocked everyone.
Directly... banished from the GY?
This, this is too underworld-ish (too sinister/dark)!
No!
If your graveyard is completely emptied, that can't even be called underworld-ish anymore!
This is practically grave-robbing!
Masked HERO Dark Law, can he even surpass the underworld?
"..." ryo marufuji's face also turned grim.
His Cyber Dragon, which he regarded as his life, was now forced to leave the duel due to Dark Law's effect.
And, two of them at once.
In other words...
Only one Cyber Dragon is left sleeping in my deck?
Looking at the two cards left in his hand, ryo marufuji couldn't help but sigh. Judai Yuki was indeed more powerful than he had imagined.
But he, too, was not without a fighting chance.
"I Normal Summon 'Cyber Larva' in Defense Position."
[Cyber Larva]
[Level: 1]
[ATK: 400, DEF: 600]
Hum—
Accompanying the summoning light effect, a tiny, miniature Cyber Dragon appeared on ryo marufuji's field.
"Turn end."
ryo marufuji ended his turn.
"So amazing, he actually completely suppressed Zane?"
Looking at the situation on the field, Atticus Rhodes, with a red packet on his head, wore a surprised expression.
"In my three years since enrolling, this is the first time I've seen a duelist who can push Zane to this extent..."
"This Judai Yuki... is truly terrifying."
Looking at the shock on his brother's face, Alexis tightened her fists, her gaze serious as she stared at the black-clad, jellyfish-haired boy on the stage.
"Judai Yuki..." In the distance, Aster Phoenix, leaning against the gymnasium entrance, also showed a hint of surprise.
He had thought that Judai Yuki was not a particularly noteworthy opponent to research.
But from this first turn's offensive and defensive battle, the level of play they both demonstrated was already very high.
Whether it was the application of their decks or the control over their cards.
Both of them undoubtedly possessed the skill of professional duelists.
If I were the one on the field.
Would I have been able to defend against that person named 'Kaiser' (ryo marufuji) in the first turn?
"Amazing... both of them are amazing!"
"It's only the first turn, and they're already fighting so intensely? Wow, I feel like I'm already breaking out in cold sweat."
"From the field, Judai Yuki still has the advantage..."
"Will Judai Yuki end the game next turn? Or will Kaiser be able to last until his next turn?"
"I think it's going to be difficult. That one-star fodder monster with only 600 DEF, what can it do?"
The audience below discussed animatedly.
Even one-star monsters can be terrifying.
Judai Yuki inwardly grumbled.
"Judai, be careful." Yubel's voice slowly surfaced in Judai Yuki's ear.
"There's a very powerful force residing within that child."
"Yubel..." Judai Yuki glanced at Yubel, smiling. "Don't worry, I won't lose this duel."
"Is that so? Are you going to use the Supreme King's power?" Yubel asked.
The Supreme King's power...
Looking at the "Evil HERO Dark Gaia" in his hand.
Judai Yuki chuckled and shook his head.
"He hasn't forced me to the point of using this card yet."
"Besides, I also want to leave a deeper impression on this third-year honor student."
"Heh heh, alright... do as you please." Yubel smiled, her figure slowly disappearing from beside Judai Yuki.
"My turn, draw!"
Judai Yuki looked at the card he drew.
"Elemental HERO Ocean?"
"I Normal Summon 'Elemental HERO Ocean' in Attack Position."
Water light soared into the sky.
The cyan hero holding a staff appeared on Judai Yuki's field.
[Elemental HERO Ocean]
[Level: 4]
[ATK: 1500, DEF: 1200]
"Ocean Neos attacks Cyber Larva!"
A ripple of water spread across the virtual field.
Ocean Neos, staff in hand, leaped forward, arriving before Cyber Larva.
The staff swirled.
In an instant, Cyber Larva's body shattered and split apart.
"Only 600 DEF, it can't withstand the attack at all," someone below sighed.
However, ryo marufuji's face remained expressionless.
He crossed his arms and said coldly, "When Cyber Larva is chosen as an attack target, all battle damage I take this turn becomes 0."
"Huh?" A faint gasp of surprise came from below.
But...
ryo marufuji looked at Cyber Larva, which was sent to the banished zone, his brow tightly furrowed.
This card's second effect was that if it was destroyed by battle and sent to the GY, another Cyber Larva could be Special Summoned from the Deck.
But now, due to Dark Law's effect, it would not be sent to the GY but would be directly banished.
Its second effect, therefore, could not be activated...
But at least, he survived this turn.
As long as he could draw that card...
ryo marufuji's eyes gradually sharpened.
As long as he drew that card, he still had hope of winning!
