"Leon, now you can duel me without any restraints, right?" Kisaragi said with a smile.
"Yeah!"
"Because my Arkbrave Dragon banished two of your Spell and Trap Cards, its ATK and DEF rise by 400!"
Arkbrave Dragon
ATK 2800 / DEF 2400
"I set one card face-down and end my turn!"
Cards in hand: 3
"My turn. Draw!"
"I activate the Spell Card Spindle Needle from my hand! This card can destroy one of my opponent's monsters. I'll destroy Arkbrave Dragon. However, the destroyed monster will be Special Summoned from the Graveyard in Attack Position after three turns. Until then, sleep quietly!" Leon said.
"Next, I Tribute Cinderella and Pumpkin Carriage on my field and summon Hexe Trude from my hand in Attack Position!"
Hexe Trude
ATK 2600 / DEF 2100
"Oh no. Kisaragi doesn't have any monsters on her field. If Leon's direct attack succeeds, then Kisaragi will—" Téa said.
"Heh heh heh. It seems even without Golden Castle of Stromberg, that Kisaragi will still lose," Zigfried said.
"You're underestimating Kisaragi if you say that," Raphael said. "Her strength is not that simple."
"Battle! Glife the Phantom Bird attacks the player directly!"
"Heh heh heh. It's over!" Zigfried said.
"I activate the Trap Card Counter Gate. When my opponent declares a direct attack, that attack is negated, and I draw one card from my deck. If the card I draw is a Monster Card, I can Normal Summon that monster in face-up Attack Position."
"Therefore, Glife the Phantom Bird's attack is negated, and I draw one card from my deck!"
After saying that, Kisaragi closed her eyes and placed her hand on her deck. As if sensing something, the corners of her mouth rose.
"The card I drew is Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"What?! She actually drew that card!" Leon said in shock.
"Hmph. Of course it was Blue-Eyes White Dragon," Kaiba said with a smile.
"Due to Counter Gate's effect, I Summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon in Attack Position!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon
ATK 3000 / DEF 2500
"So it really won't be that easy. I set one card face-down and end my turn!"
Cards in hand: 2
"It looks like we've reached the final turn, Leon," Kisaragi said.
"Yeah. There was a bit of trouble in the middle, but in the end, I was able to duel you freely. I'm already very happy," Leon said.
"Is that so? Then I won't hold back for the final turn!" Kisaragi said.
"My turn. Draw!"
"At this moment, I activate the effect of Arkbrave Dragon in my Graveyard. I Special Summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Graveyard!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon
ATK 3000 / DEF 2500
Kisaragi looked at the Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon in her hand and frowned slightly.
"Summoning it would win, but this monster has already appeared before. If it appears again, the audience might find it boring. In that case…"
"I activate the Spell Card Card Destruction from my hand. Both players discard their entire hands, then draw the same number of cards from their decks!" Kisaragi said.
"Kisaragi should have Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon in her hand. Why would she send it to the Graveyard?" Joey asked.
"I don't know. Perhaps Kisaragi feels that summoning Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon again wouldn't make the audience's excitement rise a second time," Yugi guessed.
Kisaragi looked at her hand, and the corner of her mouth lifted.
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Silver's Cry from my hand and Special Summon another Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Graveyard!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon
ATK 3000 / DEF 2500
"I activate the Spell Card Polymerization from my hand! I fuse the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons on my field! Fusion Summon! Appear, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon
ATK 4500 / DEF 3800
"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
Leon unconsciously took several steps back.
"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon appeared! But compared to Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon from Kaiba's duel, it feels a little less impressive," Joey said.
"Don't be afraid. I still have a Trap Card on my field. Big Sis Kisaragi's attack won't work on me!"
"Battle! Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attacks Hexe Trude! Ultimate Burst Stream!"
"I activate the Trap Card Sakuretsu Armor. When my opponent declares an attack, I can destroy the attacking monster on my opponent's field!"
"What?!" everyone cried in shock.
Boom!
With a tremendous explosion, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was destroyed.
"How could that happen? Kisaragi's monster was destroyed so easily," Téa said.
Yugi and Kaiba both clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. Neither of them believed Kisaragi would lose like this.
"Ha ha ha! Duel King, this is the price of your arrogance!" Zigfried laughed loudly. "Leon has won this duel!"
"Hey, Zigfried. My turn isn't over yet!" Kisaragi said.
"How is that possible? Your monsters have clearly all been destroyed. What can you possibly attack with—"
Before Zigfried could finish speaking, Kisaragi raised a card from her hand.
"Pure white power hidden within the source of infinite time, spread your wings as they tremble in the echoes where souls intertwine, and emerge from the azure abyss! Appear, Deep-Eyes White Dragon!"
Deep-Eyes White Dragon
ATK 0 / DEF 0
A white dragon radiating sacred light appeared on Kisaragi's field.
"Deep-Eyes White Dragon? What kind of monster is that?!" Yugi's group exclaimed in shock.
"When a face-up Blue-Eyes monster I control is destroyed by battle or by my opponent's effect, Deep-Eyes White Dragon can be Special Summoned from my hand. Then it inflicts 600 damage to my opponent for each different Dragon monster in my Graveyard."
"There are six different Dragon monsters in my Graveyard, so Leon takes 3600 damage! Receive the wrathful flames of the dragons in my Graveyard!"
Leon Wilson LP: 4000 → 400
"But even so, Deep-Eyes White Dragon's ATK is 0. It's no match for Leon's monster!" Zigfried said.
"Hmph. Is that really true?"
"What?!"
"Deep-Eyes White Dragon's second effect. When this card is Summoned or Special Summoned, I target one Dragon monster in my Graveyard, and this card's ATK becomes equal to that monster's ATK."
"I target Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in my Graveyard. Deep-Eyes White Dragon's ATK becomes 4500!"
"Deep-Eyes White Dragon, inherit the power of the dragon in the Graveyard!"
Deep-Eyes White Dragon
ATK 4500 / DEF 0
"What?!"
Zigfried staggered back several steps.
"What an incredible monster!" Yugi said.
At that moment, Kaiba's eyes burned with excitement as he looked at Deep-Eyes White Dragon.
"So this is Deep-Eyes White Dragon's power? Ha ha ha!"
"Deep-Eyes White Dragon attacks Hexe Trude!"
"So this is the Duel King's strength. No, I suppose this still isn't it. With my ability, I can't force the Duel King to use her full strength at all," Leon said with a bitter smile.
Deep-Eyes White Dragon's attack engulfed Leon's monster, creating a massive explosion.
Leon Wilson LP: 400 → 0
Aoi Kisaragi wins!
"She did it! Kisaragi won!" Yugi's group cheered.
"That was a splendid duel!" Professor Hopkins said.
"Hmph. Did you see that, Zigfried? That was only a small fraction of Kisaragi's true strength," Kaiba said with a smile.
"How is this possible?!"
Zigfried clutched his head.
"Every method I prepared to destroy KaibaCorp failed. Was I wrong from the very beginning?"
"In the end, I still couldn't defeat Kaiba, could I?" Zigfried said, kneeling on the ground.
"Not me," Kaiba said as he looked at Zigfried. "Anyone."
"Brother."
At that moment, Leon ran to the balcony and came to Zigfried's side.
"Because of what happened this time, I realized something. If you give up, you'll have nothing. Even though you failed, Brother, and even though you used my admiration for you, I don't hate you at all. From now on, please let me share your pain. I believe that through our efforts as brothers, the Schroeder family will surely regain its former glory."
"Leon…"
Zigfried shed tears and held Leon tightly in his arms.
"Isono!" Kaiba said.
"Yes, sir!"
Isono walked to the center of the duel field.
"The Duel King of the KC Grand Prix tournament to determine the strongest duelist, hosted by KaibaCorp, is Aoi Kisaragi!"
After Isono made the announcement, Kisaragi's image appeared on screens all over the world where people were watching the duel. The spectators at the venue erupted into thunderous cheers.
