# Chapter 163: Time for You to Play Yu-Gi-Oh!
"Hundred-Eyes Dragon's effect activates! Once per turn, you can Banish 1 DARK Attribute Effect Monster with Level 6 or lower from your Graveyard, and until the End Phase, this card gains that monster's original card name and effect."
"I Banish 'Infernity Mirage' from the Graveyard to gain that card's effect."
"Hundred-Eyes Dragon's effect activates, having gained 'Infernity Mirage's' card name and effect! I Tribute this card to Special Summon two Infernity monsters from the Graveyard!"
"Appear! Infernity Necromancer, Infernity Beetle."
"Infernity Necromancer's effect activates: When you have no cards in your hand, you can Special Summon 1 Infernity monster from your Graveyard."
"Revive! Infernity Archfiend."
"Infernity Archfiend's effect activates: When you have no cards in your hand, if this card is Special Summoned: You can add 1 Infernity card from your Deck to your hand."
"Next, I Tune the Level 2 Infernity Beetle with the Level 4 Infernity Archfiend and Level 3 Infernity Necromancer!"
[2+4+3=9]
"Descend once more! Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!"
The brilliant Path of Stars flashed, but this time, Trishula appeared listless; its middle dragon head even yawned.
Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier ATK: 3300
"When Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier is Synchro Summoned: You can Banish up to 1 card each from your opponent's hand, Field, and Graveyard."
Another card from the hand and one from the Graveyard were sent to the Different Dimension. The Former Director finally understood what Kiryu was trying to do, gritting his teeth as he stared at the Three-Headed Evil Dragon in front of Kiryu. "Can you really wipe out my entire hand in one turn?"
"Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier's effect activates: By discarding 1 card, I return 1 card on the Field to the hand."
Trishula's three dragon heads glared back at Kiryu as it returned to the Extra Deck.
"Just bear with it," Kiryu said. "He only has two cards in his hand left."
"'Infernity Launcher's' effect activates on the field! When you have no cards in your hand, you can send this card from the field to the Graveyard to Special Summon two Infernity monsters from the Graveyard."
"Revive! Infernity Necromancer, Infernity Beetle."
"Infernity Necromancer's effect activates: When you have no cards in your hand, you can Special Summon 1 Infernity monster from your Graveyard."
"Revive! Infernity Archfiend!"
"When Infernity Archfiend is Special Summoned while you have no cards in your hand: You can add 1 Infernity card from your Deck to your hand."
"Next, I Tune the Level 2 Infernity Beetle with the Level 4 Infernity Archfiend and Level 3 Infernity Necromancer."
[2+4+3=9]
The brilliant Path of Stars lit up again, and Trishula appeared once more, banishing one card each from the Former Director's hand and Graveyard.
Seeing this, the Former Director gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you can reduce my hand to just one card, your Continuous Trap, 'Infernity Launcher,' which revives monsters, is already used up!"
"And unfortunately, the last card in my hand is enough to take you out next turn!" the Former Director said, though his voice clearly lacked confidence. He looked back at his Minions beside him, most of whom had already been kicked to death by Serena's "Lunalight Cat Dancer."
In contrast, Yūga Hōzumi seemed to be slacking off, as his and Yuzu's efficiency at clearing out Minions was nowhere near Serena's.
Even so, most of the people he brought were already sprawled out, and even if he could defeat Kiryu, he would likely have to pay a considerable price to escape from here.
"Is that so?" Kiryu chuckled inexplicably. "Then I'll just take away your last card in hand as well."
"Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier's effect activates! By discarding 1 card, I return 1 card on the Field to its owner's hand."
Trishula left the Field again, and Kiryu calmly took another card from the Graveyard.
"When you have no cards in your hand, Infernity General's effect activates from the Graveyard! You can Banish this card; Special Summon two Level 3 or lower Infernity monsters from your Graveyard, but their effects are negated."
"Revive, Infernity Beetle, Infernity Necromancer."
"I Tune the Level 2 Infernity Beetle with the Level 4 Infernity Archfiend and Level 3 Infernity Necromancer."
[2+4+3=9]
Trishula appeared again, casually banishing the Former Director's last card from his hand and Graveyard.
"With that, I end my turn," Kiryu said, gazing at the Former Director of Security. Yūga Hōzumi couldn't help but feel that Kiryu's expression was saying, "Come on, it's your turn to play Yu-Gi-Oh!"
"It's fine, my Deck has a one-card combo capability, as long as I can draw that card!" the Former Director thought, gritting his teeth before drawing.
"My Turn! Draw!" he declared, as if expending all his strength.
After drawing the card, the Former Director's eyes widened in delight.
"YA☆DA☆ZE!" The Former Director had drawn the hope that could turn the duel around for him.
"Oh, it seems you've drawn a useful card," Kiryu said, flipping open the Set card he had placed on the field at the start. "I activate the Trap Card, 'Appointer of the Red Lotus'!"
"I pay 2000 LP: I show my entire hand to my opponent. Then, I look at my opponent's hand, and banish 1 card from it until their next End Phase."
"Nani?" The Former Director clutched his head in disbelief. The hope he had struggled to draw, the one that could turn the duel around, was now pointed at by a strange, fiery-red figure's finger, which had suddenly emerged from Kiryu's Set card.
"You only have one card in your hand, so I don't need to choose," Kiryu said impassively. "Banish it." Though Kiryu spoke expressionlessly, Yūga Hōzumi saw him as nothing less than a true villain.
Kiryu LP: 4000→2000
"Just what kind of terrible combo did you two pull off?" Serena, having finished dealing with the Minions, returned to Yūga Hōzumi's side, looking at the Former Director who was kneeling on the ground as if all his power had drained away, and said with a complex expression.
"Oh, it's not that terrible," Yūga Hōzumi said with a shrug. "It's just a small idea." Honestly, he hadn't expected to find Brionac and Trishula in the Revolutionary Army's Card Warehouse. Logically, aren't these two monsters considered archetype monsters for an Infernity player?
After Kiryu pointed away the Former Director's last card from his hand, the Former Director seemed to have had his last ounce of strength drained, collapsing to his knees. He didn't even react when his Duel Disk automatically ended his turn after detecting no activity for an extended period.
After using his two monsters on the field to successively attacked and defeated the Former Director of Security, Kiryu put away his Duel Disk and looked at Yūga Hōzumi.
"What now? We've been discovered. Should we find another place to infiltrate?"
"I don't think it's necessary," Yūga Hōzumi said, kicking the Former Director beside him, who lay like a dead fish. He then pulled a long red rope from his pocket. This skilled motion brought back some unpleasant memories for Serena.
"This guy probably acted on his own, wanting to hog all the credit. Otherwise, support would have arrived a long time ago," Yūga Hōzumi said. "I remember there's a comrade in our Base who looks quite similar to him, doesn't there?"
