Chapter 46
The Showdown Within the City Jiro vs. Baku

“Alright, it’s my turn.”

Hearing that it was his turn to duel, Jounouchi was filled with fighting spirit.

He then looked at Mokuba, who waved his hand, and asked curiously: “Yo, Mokuba, didn’t expect the second duel to be between us two, by the way, what kind of deck are you using?”

Mokuba gave a pure and innocent smile and replied: “It’s a Supernatural deck, please be gentle on me.”

Supernatural deck? Ghosts and stuff?

Hearing this, some terrifying images flashed through Jounouchi's mind, and he shivered.

After the break, Jounouchi and Mokuba entered the Sky Arena.

“Begin duel!”

With the referee's command, the two duelists stood in their respective positions.

“Even though we know each other, I won't go easy on you.”

Jounouchi's fighting spirit ignited, and he felt his body warm up.

“Haha, who asked you to go easy? You foolish fellow, let this great lord crush you, activate Dark Game!”

Mokuba laughed wildly, his white hair danced with bunny ears, showing his arrogance and domineering.

The Millennium Puzzle appeared on his chest, shining brightly. It was clear that the will of Zorc within Mokuba was online to play cards.

Seeing the change in Mokuba, Yugi and the others worried for Jounouchi.

“Mokuba, why did you bring such a dangerous thing again?”

Jounouchi also felt a dangerous aura from Mokuba. He wasn't like Kaiba, who didn't believe in gods or spirits.

Having experienced so many things with Yugi, he also knew that there were many things in the world that science couldn't explain.

Especially the thing hanging around his neck. It caused him quite a bit of trouble in the Duel Kingdom.

“Jounouchi, be careful.”

Mai also felt that the situation was not good and reminded him.

Yuu was thinking in his heart, as expected, Jounouchi has the protagonist's role.

A typical protagonist personality in a shounen manga, with a best friend, a rival, a beautiful sister, and a sexy girlfriend. His luck is even OP.

“Don’t worry.”

Jounouchi nodded. All he could do now was defeat Mokuba and help his classmate return to normal.

【Jounouchi lp 4000】

【Mokuba lp 4000】

“I’ll take the first turn, I Normal Summon Nightmare's Phantom.”

Mokuba drew six cards, gave a cold smile, and summoned a ghost lying on a bed. Its ATK is 1300, and there was no card set. This ended his turn.

“Don’t underestimate me, this kind of monster can easily be destroyed.”

Seeing the monster summoned by the opponent, Jounouchi, who was afraid of ghosts, was obviously startled, but his dueling spirit quickly calmed him down.

He immediately summoned the 1500 ATK Flying Dragon Warrior, destroying Nightmare's Phantom in one blow.

【Mokuba lp 4000 → 3800】

“Don't worry, the fun stuff is yet to come.”

Mokuba summoned the 1200 ATK Painting's Lurker and ended his turn.

“What's this, your monster is getting weaker and weaker?”

Jounouchi summoned Red-Eyes B. Dragon again, with 1800 ATK. Seeing that the opponent didn't set any cards, he attacked Mokuba with Flying Dragon Warrior.

【Mokuba lp 3800 → 1700】

“That’s it, my turn ends.”

Jounouchi didn't set any cards either, letting the two low-star monsters stand on the field.

On Mokuba's turn, he summoned the Headless Knight, in a defensive posture with 1700 DEF.

“Such a pity, I didn’t draw the right monster, otherwise, the duel would have been decided this turn.”

Jounouchi looked at the Demon's Dice he drew and set it on the field, letting his two monsters continue to attack, destroying the opponent's monster.

【Mokuba lp 1700 → 200】

“Too bad, but since you didn’t defeat me this turn, you only have one way left to go: defeat.”

Seeing three Devil monsters in his graveyard, Mokuba laughed.

“Jounouchi, be careful, Mokuba must have his plan.”

Yugi reminded him.

Jounouchi nodded, he knew this, but the cards in his hand didn’t allow him to do anything more, except ending his turn, what else could he do?

This harmonious scene made Yuu feel a little emotional.

It has to be said that this is the situation of duels in the early stages of Yu-Gi-Oh!, basically it was one shot, one shot, most of the summoned monsters were just ordinary ones with low stats.

Of course, he believed that Mokuba wouldn't be so weak.

Zorc's card playing skills were not high, but they weren’t bad either.

As expected...

“Because I have three Devil monsters in my graveyard, I can banish them to Special Summon my Dark Puppet - Nicorofiha in my hand!”

A bald man with blue-purple skin appeared on Mokuba's field, he was holding a broken doll corpse in his arms, his green eyes were rolling, looking incredibly creepy.

“What, he actually summoned a 2200 ATK monster in this way.”

Seeing the monster on Mokuba’s field, Jounouchi shivered. He really couldn't deal with this kind of ghost. Moreover, with such a high ATK monster, the cards on his field might not be able to withstand it.

“An incompetent is an incompetent, he can’t even see through the lure to attack.”

Kaiba timely gave Jounouchi a verbal jab.

“Humph, now it's too late to regret. Nicorofiha, activate Mind Crush!”

Mokuba commanded the monster on the field to attack Red-Eyes B. Dragon.

Nicorofiha widened its eyes and attacked the enemy with supernatural power.

“At this moment, I activate my face-down Trap Card Demon's Dice. Roll the dice, all monsters under the opponent's control will have their ATK and DEF decreased by the number rolled x 100 until the end of the turn.”

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jounouchi quickly flipped his face-down card.

A red die appeared on the field and spun quickly. When it stopped, the number facing up was 5.

“Alright, based on the effect of Demon's Dice, your Nicorofiha’s ATK decreases by 500!”

Nicorofiha, with remaining ATK of 1700, continued to attack, but he glared at Red-Eyes B. Dragon and then... he stared himself to death.

【Mokuba lp 200 → 100】

Yuu was a little ashamed of this outcome, but not surprised.

As expected, you are Jounouchi!

He casually rolled a big number, what kind of luck is this? If he had rolled a 6, wouldn't Mokuba have been killed on the spot?

“You!”

Seeing Nicorofiha being killed in reverse, Mokuba was also taken aback. He had been sending the previous three monsters to their deaths according to plan.

But he never expected his Nicorofiha to be killed in this way.

(PS: Regarding Demon's Dice, the author forgot the animation effect when writing, and wrote it according to the actual card effect, the two dice will simply be O-fied, and other cards, such as Soul Drain, Heavenly Treasure etc. will still use the animation effect.)
