Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Armed Dragon LV10, summoned!

"To break through that kind of lock and instantly turn the tables in Princeton's favor…" Alexis murmured.

"Indeed. Standing there now might not even be the Chazz we used to know," Misawa said.

Jaden's eyes sparkled.

I want to duel Chazz again…

"It's not over yet!" Chazz declared. "I activate my set card: Continuous Trap—Limit Reverse!

Special Summon one monster with 1000 or less ATK from my Graveyard in Attack Position!"

He pulled a card from his Graveyard.

"I revive the card I discarded with 'Graceful Charity'—come back, 'Wish Dragon'!"

[Wish Dragon, ATK 700]

"Wish Dragon's effect: Tribute it to Special Summon two 'Dragon Tokens!'"

Wish Dragon dissolved into light—two tokens appeared.

[Dragon Token, ATK 0] x2

"Then, activate the Continuous Spell 'Precious Cards from Beyond!'

If I Tribute two or more monsters for a Tribute Summon, I can draw two cards."

Chazz took a deep breath.

"I know—you may look empty-handed, but you must have something hidden in your back row, right?" Chazz said.

Kira: "…"

"Or maybe it's in your hand… heh, I know you. No matter how far I push or how close I get, you're always that calm, composed guy, always with a plan.

That's what's most infuriating."

But he raised his voice, his tone suddenly sharp.

"But! This is the end!" Chazz shouted. "Watch closely, Kira! This is the power I found after returning from hell, my symbol of rebirth!

I tribute my two 'Dragon Tokens'!"

A white whirlwind—both tokens vanished.

"Shine, wings of light! Devour, abyss of darkness! Descend at the border of light and dark—"

He raised the card high; a storm of light and darkness burst forth.

"Light and Darkness Dragon, Summon!!!"

Half holy light, half abyssal dark—the conflicting colors merged on one dragon's body. One eye blazed like the sun, the other deep as night.

[Light and Darkness Dragon, ATK 2800]

"What kind of monster is that?" Syrus gasped.

"That sacred feeling… Is this Chazz's new ace?" Misawa wondered.

A divine aura enveloped the field. Even those without spirit-sensing ability could feel this monster was extraordinary.

"Kuri, kuri!" Jaden's Winged Kuriboh floated out.

"A spirit, huh?" Jaden's eyes lit up. "Chazz met such a powerful spirit…"

"'Precious Cards from Beyond's' effect: when I Tribute two or more monsters for a Tribute Summon, I draw two cards."

Chazz drew.

Light and Darkness Dragon has the ability: whenever its ATK or DEF drops by 500, negate the activation of a monster, Spell, or Trap effect—this is mandatory and can't be chosen.

However, it only negates effects when they're activated. It can't negate continuous Spell effects already on the field.

That's why Chazz could draw thanks to 'Precious Cards from Beyond.'

Kira smiled. "Though you only recently met it, looks like you can handle Light and Darkness Dragon's power quite well."

Chazz's heart skipped.

That tone… does he know about Light and Darkness Dragon's effect?

But he quickly shook off the doubt.

Whatever. Even if he knows, it doesn't matter.

This duel—he's already won!

"Attack!" Chazz roared. "Light and Darkness Dragon, Armed Dragon LV10—direct attack!"

A combined firepower of 5800!

Chazz held his breath.

This would decide the match!

"Sorry, Chazz, but I don't plan on leaving just yet."

Kira smiled gently, waving his hand.

"Upon your attack declaration, I activate my set card! Trap Card: 'No Entry!!'" Kira called. "All Attack Position monsters on the field are switched to Defense Position!"

"Knew it," Chazz squinted.

If he hadn't top-decked 'Mini Guts' and used a token to attack, this trap would have stopped him.

But now—

"Muda!" Chazz shouted. "'Light and Darkness Dragon's' effect! Each time a monster, Spell, or Trap's effect activates, this card's ATK/DEF each drop by 500, but the effect is negated!"

[Light and Darkness Dragon, ATK 2800 → ATK 2300]

The audience was shocked.

What a terrifying ability!

From the description, it's clear—there's no once-per-turn limit. Even its controller can't stop it; it negates everything indiscriminately, including effects you yourself activate.

As long as its ATK or DEF remain above 500, the effect can activate as many times as needed.

"Doesn't that mean Kira's finished?" Syrus panicked.

No matter how many set Traps or hand and Graveyard tricks Kira had, all would be negated by Light and Darkness Dragon.

If both dragons' attacks went through, Chazz would win!

"I've won!" Chazz's eyes widened.

He'd waited so long for this moment. He'd sacrificed so much, and climbed this mountain—it was almost unreal.

But now, finally, the moment had come.

"Sorry, Chazz, but like I said—I'm not planning to leave just yet."

Kira raised a hand.

"To honor a monster of Light and Darkness Dragon's caliber, I'll respond with the most sacred power I have. I activate my Trap—

—Mirror Force!!!"

The legendary Trap Card, from Duel King Yugi Muto to every generation since—Mirror Force!
