Chapter 258: Electronic Dragons Have Limits (Recite the Full Text)

"Put a card on the back field, and my turn ends." The last card in his hand was played and placed on the back field, and Manjome ended the turn very neatly.

[Manjome Accuracy: 3700LP, 0 cards in hand]

[Demon Awakening Dragon - Young Hell Wind God] [DEF0]

[Burning Dragon] [ATK2500]

[Dragon of Darkness and Destruction] [ATK2100]

[Cover]

In one round, Manjome successfully took back the control of the battlefield from Marufuji Ryo, and even suppressed Marufuji Ryo again. Judging from the arrangement alone, the "Caesar" Marufuji Ryo is even the one at a disadvantage!

Seeing that Marufuji Ryo had lost nearly half of his basic points, Manjome couldn't help but smile smugly: "Even if you survive this attack, your basic points will only be a little more than half. Caesar, your days as the 'strongest in the academy' are over, it's time to give that title to me."

"My next turn will be the day when you lose. Sa, start your last round of struggle."

"Struggle"

Marufuji Ryo subconsciously repeated Manjome's last two words.

This word will appear on me?

No, this idea is not right either. I am just an ordinary duelist. I have no strengths different from others, so why can't I be associated with such a word?

Marufuji Ryo lowered his head slightly and smiled bitterly. Could it be that I am really an arrogant guy as Manjome said, thinking that I can win any duel calmly without any difficulties or struggles?

Looking up at the audience around him, most of them were surprised and surprised that "Caesar" would be suppressed by the first-year student Manjome, and they couldn't believe that they were at a disadvantage.

But that seemed to be natural, right? Did I really devote myself to this duel?

As before, I dueled with respect and respect, but because of the previous duels, my mentality had already changed unconsciously, just like a torn piece of paper, no matter how hard I stick it together, it can't be restored to its previous intact state.

I felt like I came to a fork in the road, one side was the road I had always walked, and the other side was a road I had never set foot on but intuitively wanted to take. If it was the previous me, I might subconsciously reject this road because of my previous education, but after the duel with Katsuya Jonouchi, the "dark will" he talked about made me resonate.

Not for honor and glory, but with respect for others and other decks, but "giving up everything including one's own life to achieve the goal", just for the pure victory of the "dark will".

If the path that I have taken in the past is described as the spirit that shines like gold in the glory - "golden spirit", then the fork in the road that I gradually reached the limit of "perfection" that I could reach on the "electronic flow" road is more suitable to be described as the "dark will".

It was also through the duel with Jonouchi and the other party's enlightenment that Marufuji Ryo, who stopped at the fork in the road, clearly realized that the fork in the road was not a "wrong road" or "fall" in the general sense. The road extended to the same direction as the original road, and even led to the same destination.

However, it seems that I have been hesitating and hesitating at this fork in the road for too long. Obviously, whether I continue to walk on the original road or walk towards the new world in one breath, I can go farther than now, but I stayed here for so long.

Perhaps, it is time to make a decision.

As his eyes moved, Marufuji Ryo saw his former teacher, Mr. Samejima, who is now the vice-principal, and Hayato who was looking at him with encouraging eyes, and his younger brother Marufuji Sho who was worried, and Judai who was expecting.

Really, Judai, even if others are surprised by his decline, are you still looking forward to my performance? Moreover, it is rare that Sho has started to grow up, and I can't stay here any longer.

So——

"Well done, Manjome, you are worthy of you." Looking at the [2300LP] displayed on his duel disk, Marufuji Ryo said, "You, successfully made me 'bleed'."

"To defeat 'God', you naturally have to make Him bleed first." Manjome, who had no cards in his hand, crossed his arms in front of his chest, "Then tell me, Caesar, can you 'bleed'?"

"It is obvious that if I duel with you in the same state as before, I might lose." Marufuji Ryo said, and finally raised his head and looked directly into Manjome's eyes , Manjome saw something vaguely in Marufuji Ryo's eyes, "But, I said, I don't want to lose."

"I've thought it through, victory! What I want is victory! Respect or respect, all come after victory! No, in other words, what I respect is victory!"

Lifting the duel disk, Marufuji Ryo put his finger on the top of the deck: "My turn, as you expected, I'm going all out for victory, and I'm going to start struggling, Manjome!"

"Draw!"

[Marufuji Ryo: 2300LP, hand 1→2]

"Respect victory?" Seeing Caesar's state change, and even some changes were so big that it seemed like he had become a different person in an instant, Manjōme was stunned for a moment, and almost thought he had encountered some kind of double personality, but he still regained his composure and said, "This kind of momentum is reasonable. Defeating you who is obviously not in good condition can't make me feel the joy of victory. But, with only one [Electronic Emergency SOS] and a card just drawn, can you break through the monsters on my field?"

"[Electronic Twin Dragons], or [Chimera Fortress Dragon]? Do you have enough powerful monsters in your "Electronic Flow"?"

"You can only use two cards in your hand!"

Manjōme's arrangement on the field, that is, [Electronic End Dragon], may still be a threat. After all, its defense penetration effect perfectly restrains the [Demon Awakening Dragon-Young Prison Wind God] with a defense of 0 points on Manjōme's field, but the cover card on his back field is not a decoration. This time it is a serious cover card instead of a bait like the previous [Vase of Greed].

Manjome is not afraid of any other fusion monsters of Caesar.

However, Manjome has not thought of one thing - in order to prepare for the exchange competition, he has added a lot of new cards to the deck, but who said that he is the only one who has added new cards to the deck?

Looking at the card he drew, Marufuji Ryo played it without hesitation and said: "If one card is not enough, why not draw as many cards as possible? I will cover a card on the back field and then activate the magic card, [Treasure Card from the Sky]!"

"Both sides draw as many cards as possible from the deck until there are six cards in hand!"

The card drawn by Caesar this round was not other cards, but the ultimate comeback card [Treasure Card from the Sky]. In order to get the most benefit from it, he even covered the [Electronic Emergency SOS] in his hand before activating this card.

【Marufuji Ryo: 2300LP, 2→6 cards】

Watching Marufuji Ryo's hand become six cards in the blink of an eye, Manjomu couldn't help but feel annoyed for having to say something extra, but his hands were not slow, and he said stubbornly: "Although [Heaven's Treasure Card] allows you to draw six cards, I also have no cards in my hand, so I can also draw six cards!"

"Moreover, powerful cards often come with huge risks. I got six cards in vain. If you can't knock me down in one breath this round, you will face my fierce attack like a storm next!"

Manjomu thought that after he made a harsh remark, Marufuji Ryo would still have the same calm expression, but he didn't expect that his opponent's face was slowly showing a sneer: "Humph, for the sake of victory, isn't this level of risk the basic of the basics?"

'Is the person opposite really Caesar? How come he looks like a completely different person when he lowers his head and raises his head, as if he has been struggling with his thoughts for thousands of words? 'Manjomu complained in his heart.

"What I learned from this short duel career is that any card has its limits, Manjome." Looking at the card he drew, Marufuji Ryo looked at Vice Principal Samejima outside the field and sighed, "The continuous evolution of [Cyber ​​Dragon] has finally reached its limit, and I am stuck in the shackles of 'perfection' and cannot move."

"It's just that the power of [Cyber ​​Dragon] has its limits."

Manjome didn't quite understand what Marufuji Ryo meant by suddenly saying this, and frowned in confusion: "Who understands what you said?"

"I don't need [Cyber ​​Dragon] anymore, Manjome!" He drew a card from his hand and sent it to the graveyard. Behind Marufuji Ryo, a monster covered with sharp blades, with a ferocious shape that didn't look like a machine at all, and completely different from the "electronic flow" style of [Cyber ​​Dragon] appeared. , "Use this card to start my counterattack!"

"Discard [Electronic Dark Claw] from my hand to activate its effect, and add a [Electronic Dark] Magic/Trap Card from my deck to my hand!"

When Marufuji Ryo played this card, while others were still wondering about the card that they had never seen Caesar use before, Samejima could not sit still, and suddenly stood up from his seat and said in surprise: "That, that card!?"

"Why does Ryo have a card with 'Inner Electron Flow'! The card with 'Inner Electron Flow' is not——"

Samejima remembered that half a month ago, Hayato said that the [Ryuki Takumi] in his deck were very noisy and sensed that a new companion could be born, and he needed to fight [Electronic Dark] again to awaken the new [Ryuki Takumi], so he found himself, the contemporary teacher of "Electronic Flow".

However, Samejima almost died at the hands of "Inner Electron Flow" in order to help Hayato start the inheritance of [Ryuuki Takumi]. Although he was powerless, he was not worried about what Hayato would do with the "Inner Electron Flow" card, and he took the "Inner Electron Flow" card from the gym and lent it to Hayato with great confidence.

Afterwards, although Hayato did show Samejima his newly acquired [Ryuuki Takumi], he did not return the "Inner Electron Flow" immediately, because Hayato made a second and third new [Ryuuki Takumi] card after that, and Samejima thought that Hayato had not used it up yet.

(Ryuuki Takumi's new daddy "DAD")

But now it seems that Hayato actually gave the "Inner Electron Flow" to Ryota without knowing when! ?

Although Hayato had mentioned before that Ryo had inherited the talent of the "Inner Electron Flow" and was far superior to Samejima himself who was reluctant to use it, Samejima was not determined to pass the "Inner Electron Flow" to Ryo because he was still too young and had not yet reached the limit of "perfection" that he could reach. He thought that he would tell him about the existence of the "Inner Electron Flow" when he encountered setbacks in the professional duel circle after graduation.

Now thinking back, the new [Ryūki Takumi] is real, but I'm afraid that taking the opportunity to pass the "Inner Electron Flow" to Ryo who is in a period of confusion in his life recently is also Hayato's real purpose for a long time!

Although he was surprised, Samejima still sat down under the puzzled eyes of Ichinose, the principal of the Northern Branch School next to him, and watched Ryo nervously and expectantly to see how he would perform.

"【Electronic Darkness】, 'Inner Electron Flow'? What kind of strange things are those?" Seeing the seemingly unkind 【Electronic Darkness Claw】 disappear, and grabbing a card from Marufuji Ryo's deck and adding it to his hand, Manjomu frowned, "What kind of operation is it to change the sub-deck in the middle of a game?"

"Principal Hayato handed these cards to me a few days ago, saying that it was up to me to add them to the deck and use them. His original words were, 'If you are confused, don't fire.' Although I don't fully understand, I think he probably meant that when I am no longer confused, it is time to use this deck."

Marufuji Ryo showed the card that was added to his hand, "And now I am no longer confused!"

"Activate the continuous magic card 【Electronic Darkness World】!"

As Marufuji Ryo inserted the card into the magic trap area, the red-purple electric current began to spread from his feet, with green lines like data folding in it, forming one fine pattern after another in the air.

Although it is only a continuous magic card, the posture of [Electronic Dark World] after activation is almost equivalent to [Field Magic Card].

"As an effect that can be dealt with when [Electronic Dark World] is activated, I can add a [Electronic Dark] monster with the same name from the deck that does not exist in my graveyard to my hand. The monster I choose is this [Electronic Dark Cannon]."

After adding the card to his hand, Marufuji Ryo did not stop, and actually sent the card added to his hand to the graveyard again, "Next is the effect of [Electronic Dark Cannon]. Discard this card from my hand to activate it, and add a mechanical [Electronic Dark] monster from my deck to my hand. I choose [Electronic Dark Magic Horn]."

The hand cards were changed again and again. Marufuji Ryo still had six cards in his hand, but two new [Electronic Dark] monsters had been piled into the graveyard. While Manjomu was on guard against the unknown [Cyber ​​Dark] monster, Marufuji Ryo took out another card from the graveyard and said: "When only the opponent has a monster on the field, banish [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] from my graveyard to activate its third effect."

"Special Summon a [Cyber ​​Dragon] from my deck!"

"Come out, [Cyber ​​Dragon]!"

The Mechanical Dragon appeared on Marufuji Ryo's field again, but I don't know if it was the influence of [Cyber ​​Dark World], the armor of the [Cyber ​​Dragon] that appeared again seemed to become a little dark, and even exuded an ominous and dangerous black-purple aura.
