Chapter 29: Weeb’s Dream

A massive vortex formed, giving birth to an enormous black dragon. Its massive wings stirred up hurricanes, while waves of heat radiated from the black fog.

Meteor Black Dragon, with an Attack Power of 3500, has made its appearance once again. This powerful fusion monster was witnessed by Yuyu not long ago during his battle against Jonouchi.

"According to the rules, fusion monsters are unable to attack during the turn they are summoned," Mr. T smiled slightly. "However, I now activate this card... the spell card 'Quick Attack'! This card allows the Fusion Monster to attack during the turn it is summoned!"

"Engage," Mr. T's voice resonated with determination. "Meteor Black Dragon, attack Elemental Hero Heat!"

The black dragon roared as its wings flapped, conjuring a scorching hurricane. Opening its blood-filled jaws, a red-hot vortex emerged, deep and foreboding.

Boom!

The searing fireball engulfed Heat, tearing him apart in a violent explosion. A billowing black smoke permeated the surroundings, mixing the agony of the heart with the scorching sensation of intense heat.

[Yuyu, LP4000 → LP2300]

Directly impacted, Yuyu couldn't help but groan softly.

This pain was not akin to a mere holographic projection; it felt like an authentic sensation, far from trivial. At this moment, the burning pain seared through half of his arm, and even the sweat on his body seemed to evaporate instantly beneath the scorching flames.

In this moment, he noticed a deepening darkness around him. The dense black mist enshrouded the two duelists, muffling even the sound of flowing water nearby.

Losing here could have severe consequences.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Mr. T said with confidence. "If you're scared, giving up is always an option. Darkness welcomes anyone, at any time."

"My turn, I draw a card!" Yuyu was undisturbed .

He glanced at the card he drew. While it couldn't counter the opposing Meteor Black Dragon at the moment, its excellent defensive capabilities would at least help him survive the next round.

Yuyu made up his mind. "In a defensive stance, I summon Elemental Hero Clayman!"

[Elemental Hero Clayman, Defensive Power 2000]

"Then, I'll add another facedown card. My turn ends!"

Mr. T let out a strange laugh from his nasal cavity. "Is bolstering your defense your only option? Well, I suppose that's to be expected since you lack any means to fight back against the Meteor Black Dragon. Now, it's my turn! I summon Molten Zombie from my hand!"

Flames once again ignited within the dark field, and a burning zombie clumsily rose from the center of the scorching inferno. Its legs staggered unsteadily, its arms drooping lifelessly as if its very bones had melted away.

[Scorching Zombie, Attack Power 1600]

"Let me tell you, ordinary duels are utterly useless against the power of Darkness!" Mr. T raised his arm, brandishing his duel disk. "Meteor Black Dragon, attack Clayman!"

The pitch-black dragon once again opened its colossal maw, releasing a fiery projectile that pierced through the darkness, blazing a bright-eyed trail as it flew towards Clayman amidst a scorching whirlwind.

"I activate my facedown card!"

Yuyu wasted no time and attempted to become a cockroach, he activated the trap card hidden on the field. However, just as his finger was about to touch the button on his duel disk, it abruptly halted, defying his intentions.

"What...!?"

His finger hovered less than half a centimeter from the button, stubbornly refusing to budge no matter how much his brain urged it on.

A strange smile crept across Mr. T's face.

It was mind control!

Mr. T was employing the power of darkness to manipulate his mind, preventing him from activating the trap card.

What a cheater!

Wasn't it said that Yu-Gi-Oh! bosses must adhere to the rules when playing cards with others? Yet here he was, using superpowers to interfere with his opponent's cards!

Boom!

Unable to activate the trap card concealed on the field, Clayman on Yuyu's side was instantaneously reduced to ashes under the impact of the fireball.

"It's not over yet. Next, Molten Zombie," Mr. T chuckled, adjusting his glasses. "Direct attack!"

Unable to move his body, Yuyu could only endure the assault from the Zombie. The searing pain nearly paralyzed his nerves, as if his entire being was being consumed.

[Yuyu, LP2300 → LP700]

The attack concluded, and black smoke now billowed from Yuyu. He involuntarily dropped to his knees, gasping for air as sweat streamed down his forehead.

Finally, control over his body returned.

Gritting his teeth, Yuyu pondered his situation.

With only 700 LP remaining and the overwhelming disadvantage he faced, the conditions weren't looking good.

If he continued to be suppressed by the opponent in ways that deviated from regular dueling, drawing any card would be meaningless.

He needed to find a solution to neutralize this troublesome ability first...

While lost in thought, a voice suddenly reached his ears—a girl's voice, sweet and melodious, yet bearing a hint of immaturity.

Though the words were difficult to discern due to their faintness, it sounded like the voice he had heard on the bridge earlier.

He glanced around, finding only deep darkness enveloping him. Besides himself and Mr. T, there was no one else present.

Then, he directed his gaze towards his duel disk, uncertainty clouding his expression.

Could it be... the voice came from his deck?

He found himself looking at the back of the card on top of his deck, driven by a strong intuition.

"My turn... I draw a card!"

Yuyu pulled the top card.

Whether illusory or not, the moment he drew the card, he felt the suffocation in his chest slightly alleviated, as if the surrounding darkness dissipated ever so slightly, as if sensing something.

Yuyu glanced at the card he drew, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The card in his hand was... "Dark Magician Girl."

The sole apprentice of the legendary duelist "Dark Magician," one of the most iconic cards in the world of Duel Monsters—a representation of Mutou.

More importantly, it was the first love of countless card players.

Blonde, blue-eyed, adorable, with long legs and a stylish magician outfit—a perfect blend of cuteness and allure. There was no doubt that any otaku would be defenseless against such attributes.

However, Yuyu knew the truth all too well—he didn't possess this card at all!

How was it possible to draw a card that wasn't even in his deck?

"I can finally communicate with you!"

The translucent figure of Darl Magician Girl appeared beside Yuyu, floating in the air like an ethereal specter.

"Nice to meet you, Master! I am Dark Magician Girl!.
