Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 10 Hand Card Destruction
4800 and 4500.

A numerical difference of 300 points may not be a decisive factor in other games, and the big guys can often make up for it with their operations.

But this is a card game after all, and a momentary difference in attack power is enough to determine victory or defeat.

So, the undisputed result emerged.

'boom'

Under Keith's dull gaze, the scarlet war machine collapsed.

The explosion was accompanied by a strong wind that swept up the warrior's black cloak.

He stood in front, like an indestructible blade and the most solid barrier.

Watching this scene, You Ming suddenly felt that he understood something.

That's a kind of refreshing feeling that you can't get from playing with real cards or even playing online.

Although he didn't know whether this was the sensory stimulation brought by the "combat special effects" or simply because of fighting side by side.

but……

"Thank you, Dark Sword."

Looking at the warrior's tall back, You Ming spoke.

"..."

At that moment, he felt as if the warrior had turned back.

Beneath the rare silver helmet, a pair of eyes flashed a red light that seemed to represent kindness.

"Let's just get this over with."

After looking at him, You Ming looked straight ahead.

Behind the shining sword that still blocked the battle line was the smoke and dust from the explosion.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Kisna's body, hunched over due to injuries, was revealed.

"No...that's impossible."

Keith's LP: 3000 → 2700

Admittedly, 300 points of damage is not a lot, and it is even less than the previous continuous bombardment of the "Cannon Soldier".

However, Keith's face was as pale as paper, and his body was shaky, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

After all, now the situation has been reversed.

"You are now out of cards in hand, and there are no other cards on the field except for 'Light Sealing Sword'."

Gazing at the empty venue of Keith, You Ming said calmly.

"Under the blockade of the Shadow Virus, you are no longer able to perform any operations..."

“But so what?!”

Before You Ming could finish, Keith roared as if it was a conditioned reflex.

"You are still blocked by the Sword of Light and cannot attack. We are the same!"

But, is it really the same?

"My turn, draw a card."

When You Ming drew the card, Keith's breathing, which should have been short, came to a brief halt.

In the strange silence, only the young man declared:
"I cover a card in the backfield, and the turn ends."

After a moment of silence, Keith's trembling hand touched his deck.

"My turn..."

It was at that moment that he seemed to hear the strange and hideous laughter.

Along with the wailing of metal, the virus that should have dissipated began to spread again on the field.

then……

"Pick the card."

'boom'

Even he himself didn't have time to check the card he drew. There was a sound of breaking, and the card was swallowed by the virus.

"Spherical Time Bomb"

"def/1400"

The monster's shadow flashed by, and the corrosive shadow was like a ruthless hand, dragging the monster into the cemetery.

Watching this scene, the former champion felt dizzy.

"Virus……"

Unlike You Ming's simple attack blockade, the surrounding viruses can continue to linger on his field without relying on cards.

What’s more important is that this effect will last for a period of time - three rounds, mainly one’s own turn. This period of time seems very long to the card players, but it is also very short.

"I continue to cover one card, and the turn ends."

When Keith came to his senses, it was almost over.

With the declaration of the end, the "Light Sealing Sword" that was blocking Youming was completely shattered.

As for Keith...

"I……"

Keith placed his hands on the deck once again, and even his voice became hoarse.

He could still see the virus lingering.

Although no one mentioned it, everyone knew one thing - this was the final card draw.

Am I going to lose?

The moment a certain idea came into his mind, Keith's breathing became short.

"No way, I can't lose!"

Veins bulged on his right hand as Keith's fingers gripped the top card of the deck tightly.

"I swore a vow the moment I fell into this hell!! Before I take revenge on that bastard Bekas, I will never lose again - let alone lose to a brat like this who knows where!"

Keith raised his head suddenly, and a ball of fire seemed to flash under his dark sunglasses.

"My turn!!"

he growled.

"Draw a card!!!"

At that moment, You Ming even noticed some subtle changes.

Atmosphere?

atmosphere?

It seemed that at that moment, the guy's fingers and the card did emit some kind of fire.

So you're not going to print a card for me shouting about dignity and pride or something, right?
"The card I drew is a magic card - 'Life-Destroying Treasure Card'!"

what?
Are you really a tyrant?

"Ha-hahahahaha! Sure enough, the goddess of victory is on my side!"

Seeing the card he drew, Keith suddenly burst into laughter.

"Kid! If you want to defeat me, you still lack some skills!"

Indeed, Keith is qualified to say this.

After all, in animation, the so-called life-shortening does not mean the kind of waste after being transformed into O.

The card-based life reduction not only reduces the number of cards drawn to three, but also has various negative effects such as 'cards in hand must be sent to the graveyard at the end of the current round', 'the opponent's damage is reduced to 0' and 'special summons cannot be performed'.

It's a useless card that even the Dark Realm wouldn't consider investing in. However, its original effect is not like that!
‘Wow’

When You Ming looked straight ahead, he saw a guillotine hanging high in the air.

"The effect of 'Life-Destroying Treasure Note'—with this card, I can draw up to five cards from my hand!"

Keith shouted loudly.

"But after five turns, I need to discard all the cards in my hand!"

If I were to give any evaluation, You Ming could only be described as defying the will of heaven.

Replenishing five cards in one go made the card gap created by the virus seem like a joke.

As for the so-called side effects, they seemed very ironic in the DM era.

Five rounds? Who can't kill him with one punch?
Is this really a side effect worth considering?
Oh, it seems so.

At least the characters in the anime consider this a side effect.

“It’s a card that overdrafts the future.”

Keith said coldly.

He slowly raised his hand, and his right hand, which was drawing the card, passed through the guillotine's execution platform and pressed on his own deck.

“But true champions always have the courage to put their future on the table!”

Looking at Mr. Champion's expression that seemed full of determination, You Ming covered his face.

So, how much of an overdraft did you have?!
"Five rounds..."

Isn't it the same as not having any side effects that only take effect after five rounds?
The anime couldn't figure out how this side effect could drag on for five rounds!
However, facing You Ming's almost blurted-out complaint, Keith didn't take it seriously.

Or rather, he was so caught up in the frenzy that he didn't even notice it:

"Now, witness the power of a champion, you little brat—draw a card!!!"

He roared loudly as if to vent all the depression in his heart.

The moment he pulled his card-drawing hand out of the switch, the difference between the two cards created by the virus completely disappeared.

If it was in the environment that You Ming was familiar with in his previous life, if this violent card-replenishing thing was played and there was no way to stop it, it would basically be GG.

However, this is still an early stage environment.

Meanwhile, he faces this man who is an animated character.

"Keith Howard."

He has an identity:
"champion……"

You Ming muttered in a low voice.

"It can be seen that you attach great importance to this identity."

In fact, some clues about this can be seen in both comics and animations. When his younger brothers brag about his identity as the "U.S. Champion", he will be very happy.

Whether he was dealing with Shironouchi or Bekas, he always emphasized his identity.

"This is your dignity, your pride."

But then, You Ming's eyes became stern.

"But at the same time, this champion identity is also your biggest weakness."

"what?!"

Clearly, Keith still didn't understand the problem.

It doesn't matter, he'll find out soon enough.

"laugh."

A strange laugh broke the frenzy that was supposed to continue.

"what happened?"

Then, accompanied by that almost familiar weird laughter, the virus wrapped around his hand card.

Before Keith could even look at them himself, the cards were revealed one after another.

"Although it's the last turn, the effect of 'Shadow Deck Destruction Virus' is still in effect. I will check your hand."

Land Combat Boat

TM-1 Bazooka Spider

"Mechanical Soldiers of the Demon World"

Electronic kettle

Mechanical Hunter

“These cards…”

Gazing at the emerging steel shadows, Keith's breathing stopped for a moment.

“Are they all monsters?”

Looking at the familiar monsters in his hands, he seemed to hear their wailing.

"And almost all of them are monsters with defense below 1500."

"No!"

Amidst Keith's stunned yet terrified cry, the unique wails of the mechanical monsters echoed.

"The Land Combat Boat's defense strength is 1000."

Parts of the battleship began to fall off and the hull gradually collapsed.

"The Demon World's Mechanical Soldier's defense is 1200."

The robot soldier was gradually corroded and fell to the ground.

But this is not over yet.

"Electronic Pot's defense is 900, and Mechanical Hunter's defense is 800."

'dang bang'

'dang bang'

"Do not……"

Listening to the sounds of decay and collapse, Keith looked around.

'whee'

But the strange laughter seemed to be everywhere, and he couldn't even tell where the sound came from.

"This kind of thing..."

Finally, his sight passed through the black fog that seemed to envelop everything and focused on the culprit behind all this.

"Kid..."

The voice gradually faded away, and he only saw the young man who seemed to be in the center of the deep shadow slowly stretching out his hand and clenching it into a fist.

‘Wow’

The next moment, a pitch-black storm mixed with strange screams swept across, covering the sky and the sun.

In the abyss that almost obscured his vision, Keith could only hear the judgment-like pronouncement:

"Destroy all the above monsters."

'boom'

The remaining shadow virus took away the monsters in his hand, and also took away the hope that did not exist in the first place, like a mirage.

"It's over, Keith."

"How can it be……"
