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

Chapter 101 Big reversal
"I'll use the 'Volcano Buckshot' in my hand as ammunition, fire the 'Flame Cannon', and destroy the 'Legendary Gambler'."

The blazing cannon spewed out tongues of fire, instantly engulfing the men on the field.

Then, the exploding bullet struck forward with a penetrating force, burning the explorer's clothes.

"Next, when Volcano Buckshot is sent to the Graveyard as ammunition, it will deal 500 damage to the opponent."

"Well……"

【Double Six LP: 1500→1000】

"Then, I summon Volcano Blade."

As the flames rose, a monster that looked like a musket and a bullet slowly emerged.

「Volcano Blade (lv4)」

Attribute/Fire

Race/Flame

"atk/1800 def/1200"

"Wow, are you ready to attack?"

"...No, I summoned this monster in Defense Position."

Glancing at the three extremely tightly blocked cards in the opponent's backcourt, O'Brien immediately shook his head.

"I activate Volcano Blade to deal 500 more damage to you."

"boom"

【Double Six LP: 1000→500】

"Then I covered two cards in the backcourt and the round ended."

After the smoke and dust cleared, the man's LP dropped further, but he did not make any screams or cries of pain. He just reached out and pressed down his felt hat.

"Even if I don't have any monsters in front of me, you're still unwilling to attack?"

"I only have 1,500 points left. This doesn't allow me to continue testing your field, Master Shuangliu. I can't bet on what kind of cover cards you have in your backfield."

"On the other hand, as long as you continue to maintain the status quo, you can use the characteristics of the Volcano Monster to inflict damage on me next turn."

"Yes, this is my tactic."

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the mercenary took a deep breath.

"As long as I can hold on until the next round, it will be my victory."

Judging from his tone, he seemed very tired, as if he had just gone through an unimaginable and arduous battle.

But to others, it is not the case at all.

In the exploding flames, there seemed to be no one except the mercenary. He just faced a ball of wriggling black mist, declared, and drew cards, as if he had fallen into some kind of crazy state.

"Inner Demon—this is the second trap I prepared for you invaders!"

Glancing at the duel involving only one person, the Demon Queen raised her head, looking very proud.

"You will fight against the person you least want to face in this space I've specially set up. You will either overcome him or be completely torn apart by the darkness within yourself."

"It sounds interesting, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to experience it..."

"You should have been there too!"

Hearing this, the empress screamed as if a sore spot had been touched, and her mature posture was more like a little girl jumping around.

"This is magic I'm proud of, my proudest trap. From the first trap... no, it should be from before you even walked in. You've already stepped into my trap!"

"Really? But why don't I feel anything?"

"That's because you're so abnormal! You're even more outrageous than that dragon warrior!"

The Empress Demon roared.

"At least he's just waiting at the door, and you..."

The radiating depression seemed to rise and fall in his chest, and the demon couldn't even utter a complete sentence for a while.

Finally, she squeezed out those words almost through gritted teeth:
"You really don't follow any rules at all!"

"I feel like there's no way I can follow the rules. The reason is because you're too weak."

"Stop talking nonsense!! I have the advantage now!"

She roared loudly.

"Once he loses the duel with his inner demon, his soul will completely belong to me. If you still want him to live, then..."

"But why do I feel like he's going to win?"

You Ming curled his lips.

"Look, he himself said that his tactics are going to succeed."

"This is impossible." Perhaps there have been too many accidents so far, but the Demon Queen is extremely confident about this.

"The battle against the inner demon is closely related to one's own fighting spirit. Since that man was actually wavering from the first trap, his soul is destined to be mine!"

Having said that, the female devil put her hands on her hips.

"After all, anyone who comes to a place like this can hardly be a saint without any distractions. No one can overcome the darkness and obsession within themselves!"

"Oh, so you designed a game that's impossible to beat, huh? You're really a third-rate game designer..."

"Shut up! I never said this was a game!"

She yelled.

Then she slammed her cane to the ground.

Accompanied by circles of vibrations, red light spread out from the cracks in the sheep bone mask.

"surrender."

"Ok?"

"Just admit defeat and surrender, and then I might even show some mercy and let you and your friends go!"

"Let me go? Are you serious?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Just surrender and give me your soul!"

"Tsk, tsk."

Facing the angry yet sinister look of the Demon Empress, You Ming shrugged.

Then, the corners of his mouth rose:

"I have a better suggestion."

"what?"

The temple shook, and all the demon saw was the dark flames.

"Black Flame Bullet!"

"boom"

…………

The roar seemed to echo in the distance, as if even the quiet room that was supposed to be closed was shaken by it.

Having fought on the battlefield for a long time, O'Brien is particularly sensitive to this kind of sound.

But before he could investigate further, his attention was completely taken away by the man in front of him.

"My turn, draw a card."

His old-fashioned suit was already stained with dust from the volcanic bombardment, and even his felt hat was missing one side, making him look extremely disheveled.

However, beneath those golden bangs, the smile remained unchanged.

"It's indeed commendable from a tactical point of view, but do you remember what I said?"

"..."

"You have lost your heart as a 'Challenger'."

Facing O'Brien's serious expression, Sugoroku chuckled softly.

"You're unwilling to proactively face those difficulties and start to hesitate. This is a major flaw for an adventurer... no, it should be said that for a duelist, it's a major flaw."

"Do not……"

"You might say this is part of the strategy, but I want to ask, do you really think so?"

Beneath the flickering candlelight, thick shadows swayed.

"Is it just for pure tactics, not to cover up the fear in your heart?"

In the shadows, O'Brien couldn't see the familiar face at all. The only thing he could feel was the cold words that were enough to bypass all his excuses and pierce his heart.

Finally, he seemed to feel that his tongue had become numb.

"Now, let me challenge you, O'Brien."

Then, a hurricane arose.

'bang bang bang'

A series of destructive sounds were heard, and the defense line on the field that seemed to be formed by a whirlpool was completely destroyed.

On the empty field, only that man stood there quietly:

"I send all cards in my hand and on the field to the Graveyard, then activate this card."

Then, the shadows spread outward and gradually formed a card:
"Magic Card - 'Big Reversal Puzzle'."
