Chapter 140: Joey Wheeler 's Final Turn
"A-Anyway, because of the effect of [DNA Surgery], all [Monster]s on the [Field] will become [Warrior Type] [Monster]s," Yugi mumbled, his head lowered, only revealing his flushed cheeks. He refused to look at the [Field], his words coming out haltingly.
Meanwhile, Yugi's [Dark Magician Girl] was tossing the [Dagger] in her [Hand] with a displeased [Expression], watching Yugi with a rather dangerous gaze, seemingly contemplating the best angle to throw the [Dagger] from.
[ Joey Wheeler ], on the other hand, looked at the "[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Girl]", his face flushed, muttering, "A-Amazing, Yugi. To think you could do something like this."
"Is this the time to be marveling at that, you idiot [ Joey Wheeler ]!" In the [Spectator Area], [Hayato] stuffed two wads of tissue into his nose, stood up from his seat, and leaned over the [Railing], shouting at [ Joey Wheeler ], "Quickly, make [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] cover her [Body] with something! Otherwise, this book will be gone as soon as it's released!"
"I-I know!"
After a flurry of activity, the "[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Girl]", with the help of [Flame Swordsman], used her large wings behind her to create a temporary cape, covering her exposed [Body]. However, judging by the [Expression] full of [Wisdom] on her face, she probably didn't understand why [ Joey Wheeler ] wanted her to do that.
At the same time, [Hayato] also had to praise [Flame Swordsman]. With beauty right in front of him, [Flame Swordsman] managed to maintain his [Inner Thoughts] and remain unmoved, sporting a stoic face that seemed to say, "[Woman]s only slow down my [Swordsmanship]". This was unlike his [Controller], who looked shy and reluctant.
Glancing at [Kujaku Mai] beside him, whose fists were clenched tight, [Hayato] sighed inwardly—[ Joey Wheeler ]'s [Future] was going to be difficult; the kid had taken the wrong path.
After the "[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Girl]" covered her [Body], Yugi and [ Joey Wheeler ] both took a few deep breaths of fresh air before managing to regain their composure and continue their [Duel].
"Although you can [Activate] [DNA Surgery] directly from your [Hand], Yugi, merely changing the appearance of the [Monster]s on the [Field] won't affect their [Battle] power," having regained his calm state of mind, [ Joey Wheeler ] was able to focus his attention back on the [Duel].
Yugi didn't explain anything, just smiled mysteriously: "Is that really the case? Enter [Battle Phase], [Activate] [Attack] with [Dark Magician] on your [Flame Swordsman]!"
"[Dark Magician]!"
Hearing Yugi's command, [Dark Magician] instinctively prepared to perform an impressive staff technique with his [Wand], but after glancing at the [Emerald Green Wand] broken in two on the ground, he remembered that he had already "sworn loyalty" to Yugi earlier. Helplessly, [Dark Magician] could only force a smile, carrying the door-sized greatsword in his [Hand] with a frustrated/aggrieved [Expression], and swung a heavy slash towards [Flame Swordsman].
Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, [Dark Magician], a former [Mage], actually unleashed a crescent slash nearly two stories high with his greatsword. [ Joey Wheeler ]'s [Flame Swordsman] was [Destroyed] in an instant and sent to the [Graveyard]. After the [Attack], [Dark Magician] even coolly rested the greatsword on his shoulder and said pretentiously, "A hundred kinds of [Magic], this is [Swordsmanship]."
"[Flame Swordsman] was [Destroyed], but [Dark Magician] wasn't [Destroyed], how is that possible?!" [ Joey Wheeler ] couldn't understand the situation on the [Field] at the moment, because he clearly remembered that [Dark Magician]'s [ATK] should be the same as [Flame Swordsman] equipped with [Dragon Flame], both 2500 [Points].
When two [Attack Position Monster]s with the same [ATK] [Battle], why was [Flame Swordsman] [Destroyed] while [Dark Magician] remained on the [Field] showing off?
Thinking this, it was only then that [ Joey Wheeler ] noticed a faint, almost imperceptible dark purple [Light] on [Dark Magician]'s [Body], who had transformed into a [Warrior] [Form]. However, due to the magical [Light] on his [Armor], [ Joey Wheeler ] had only just noticed it now: "That [Light] is..."
"[ Joey Wheeler ], there was a reason I [Activate]d [DNA Surgery]. Don't forget that [Card] [United Army] I [Activate]d last [Turn]," Yugi finally explained with a smile, "All [Warrior Type] [Monster]s on my [Field] can receive the [Boost] provided by [United Army], and the [Type] I [Declare]d when I [Activate]d [DNA Surgery] was [Warrior Type]."
"Because I have two [Warrior Type] [Monster]s on my [Field], both [Dark Magician] and [Dark Magician Girl]'s [ATK] will increase by 400 [Points]!"
[Dark Magician] [ATK] 2500 → 2900
[Dark Magician Girl] [ATK] 2000 → 2400
[ Joey Wheeler ]: 3100[LP] → 2700[LP]
"[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]'s [ATK] is the same as [Dark Magician Girl]'s [ATK]. Does that mean if Yugi [Activate]s another [Attack] with [Dark Magician Girl], [ Joey Wheeler ]'s [Field], which he worked so hard to set up, will be [Clear]ed again?" Téa asked [Honda], who was sitting next to her.
[Honda] scratched the back of his head: "That's right. As expected, [ Joey Wheeler ] still can't defeat Yugi."
"Shut up, [Honda]! [Yours Truly] hasn't lost yet!" His ears were unusually sharp this time, and [ Joey Wheeler ] heard [Honda]'s whispered words from afar, complaining loudly. After speaking, he looked back at the [Field] and said to Yugi opposite him, "Come on, Yugi, [Attack] with all your might! Don't hold back!"
Yugi nodded and said, "Of course, [ Joey Wheeler ]. [Dark Magician Girl], [Attack] [ Joey Wheeler ]'s [Red-Eyes Black Dragon]!"
"[Dark Magician] Burst Stream!"
[Dark Magician Girl] received the command and agilely rushed forward. Under the "(OvO)" gaze of the "[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Girl]", she suddenly disappeared from her sight, instantly teleporting behind the "[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Girl]", and fiercely thrust out the pair of [Dagger]s in her [Hand].
Seeing the [Attack] about to hit, [ Joey Wheeler ] shouted, "Watch out behind you, [Red-Eyes Black Dragon]!"
Receiving the warning, the seemingly slow/dazed "[Red-Eyes Black Dragon Girl]" burst out with astonishing speed in an instant. She spun around on the spot, retaliating towards the surprised [Dark Magician Girl] with her sharp claws. Both [Monster]s' [Attack]s hit simultaneously, and the [Field] was instantly covered by the [Smoke] left behind when [Monster]s are [Destroyed]. When the [Dust] settled, neither [Dark Magician Girl] nor [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] were anywhere to be seen.
"[Set] one [Card] from my [Hand], [End Turn]."
[Yugi]: 900[LP], [Hand] 0
[DNA Surgery], [United Army], [Set Card]
Watching [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] disappear and his [Field] become empty again, even [ Joey Wheeler ]'s [Inner Thoughts], usually brave beyond compare, were filled with bitterness at this moment.
"As expected, Yugi, you're still so strong."
[ Joey Wheeler ] couldn't help but recall when he first started playing [Duel Monsters], it was Yugi who taught him all the [Rules] and practiced [Battle]s with him. For such a long time, he had never defeated Yugi even once. He was like an insurmountable mountain, always standing in front of him.
[ Joey Wheeler ] himself knew very well that although he had grown somewhat, the gap between him and Yugi had always existed. To try and surpass Yugi, who had been involved in this field since childhood, with just this short period of growth was simply a fool's dream. But—
"[Yours Truly] [ Joey Wheeler ] is not someone who gives up easily," his [Finger] rested on the top of his [Deck], and there was no sign of dejection in [ Joey Wheeler ]'s eyes, only endless fighting spirit. "Even if it's a destined failure, I will [Challenge] the height I can climb as much as possible!"
"Finally, my [Turn]. [Draw a Card]!"
This [Turn] will end the [Duel]. Then it will be [Hayato] and [Samejima]'s [Duel].
Although some people have always suggested not to write the [Duel] process or not to write it too long, just two or three chapters, I really like the character of [ Joey Wheeler ], and two or three chapters really can't write much, so I'm going to [Activate] the [Effect] of [Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon] and not accept it.
Unless you think that summarizing the writing as "Yugi and [ Joey Wheeler ]'s [Duel], [ Joey Wheeler ] lost and Yugi won" is better than writing it in detail like this.
