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

Chapter 102 Look, it’s urgent

"pat"

When the magic card was activated, O'Brien felt that everything around him had changed.

The dark stone room and flickering candlelight completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by a huge performance stage.

"This kind of thing..."

"It's just like a TV show, isn't it?"

Standing in the center of the stage, Sugoroku spoke with a smile.

“In fact, it has similar effects.”

Gradually, a huge screen appeared behind him, switching back and forth between three completely different types of images.

"Now, I will guess the type of the top card in my deck. If I guess correctly, your life points will be swapped with mine."

"I see. You're using this method to further reduce my LP..."

"By the way, the card I just sent to the graveyard is the 'Black Necklace'. It's a necklace that activates defensive magic when it leaves its owner, dealing 500 points of damage to the enemy."

"Your LP is exactly 500..."

"That's right. If this LP exchange is successful, this duel will come to an end."

At this point, Sogoroku couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"So, how do you think things will develop?"

It was clearly such an extreme situation, but the upturned corners of Shuangliu's mouth made O'Brien's heart even heavier.

He is so confident, which means he can definitely decide his next card!

“There are other chains…”

Although he didn't know the details, this was O'Brien's judgment.

but……

"No."

"what?"

"Now, I declare that the top card of my deck is a trap card."

Facing O'Brien's surprised face, the brave explorer simply placed his hand on his deck and pulled out the top card.

There is no chain reaction, and no other unnecessary actions.

On the virtual screen, the flashing question mark gradually turned scarlet.

Trap Card "Gambling".

"It's over, O'Brien."

"Well……"

In an instant, accompanied by a burst of scarlet in the field of vision, severe pain spread throughout the body.

【Double Six LP: 500→1800】

[O'Brien LP: 1800 → 500]

He was so dizzy that he couldn't even distinguish the scenery in front of him.

The dark shadow seemed to spread, and various voices echoed in his ears:

"Are you leaving again?"

"Yes."

"Can't I just not go?"

"..."

"You've already earned more money than you can spend in your lifetime, so what are you holding on to?"

"If you really had an accident, what would you do with Osin?"

In a trance, he seemed to see those familiar figures again.

"I……"

Panting heavily, O'Brien tried hard to drive away the lingering shadows, but the accusations from those close to him kept lingering in his ears:

"coward."

“Reluctant to be ordinary but indecisive.”

"He seems to have a sharp mind, but he actually lives in a state of confusion."

Gradually, the dark shadows once again gathered into the figure of the man who had originally taken him away from his hometown and away from the chaos.

"Shuangliu Ye..."

"You've let your children and your wife down, and likewise, you've let me down for risking my life to save you."

'boom'

Immediately, the stage collapsed, and a violent roar echoed throughout the room.

Maybe this is the punishment for myself.

O'Brien thought so almost subconsciously, but in the brief pause, he felt nothing.

Although consciousness was scattered, it did not completely disappear.

One second, two seconds...

It was around the third second that his slow nerves finally reacted.

"What happened again?"

The turbidity that permeated his eyes had not yet dissipated, and the mercenary only saw a ray of black light shining in from outside.

And when the dark firelight dissipated, a familiar figure appeared.

"Mr. You...Mr. You Ming?"

"Ok?"

"Are you also my hallucination?"

"What a stupid question! I almost blew this place clean before I found you."

You Ming twitched the corner of his mouth.

"It's so sad that you say this to me in the end." "..."

The mercenary did not respond.

Perhaps he was shocked by these words, or perhaps he was unable to fully recover the ability to think, so he just stood there in a daze.

After a while, the silent air was broken by another voice:
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, you damn bastard!"

The high-pitched voice, which had no trace of calmness at all, stirred the demon as it hurried over from the same place.

"Our duel isn't over yet, why are you running around?!"

"Is that kind of thing important?"

"Isn't it important?"

"Well, I'm in the combat phase now, so should I continue fighting?"

"..."

In an instant, the face of the Demon Empress who had just arrived turned red again.

She obviously couldn't argue with that.

"But even so, you have no choice but to surrender!"

After looking around for a while, she announced loudly again.

"The sacred duel ritual does not allow for external interference, and you cannot control the direction of this duel."

"so what?"

"So your friend is doomed to lose too!"

"Really? But I don't think he will lose."

You Ming narrowed his eyes.

"Right, O'Brien."

However, he did not respond, but just staggered there, muttering something like a murmur:

"I'm sorry, my son, I should have been with you guys."

Looking at the confusion and fragility that appeared on the mercenary's face, which should have been resolute, You Ming's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.

"So don't you think you should get over this hurdle? Since you feel sorry for your family, you should try your best to return to them."

"It's useless. He has been consumed by the darkness within himself."

After the empress's announcement, the mercenaries seemed to have completely lost their fighting spirit.

He seemed to lack the courage to even stand up, and the heavy pressure made his strong body kneel on the ground.

"I shouldn't have been rescued in the first place. I should have stayed with Master Shuangliu until the end... I shouldn't have been alive at all."

"This is what I'm most reluctant to face deep down in my heart. It's anger, guilt, self-hatred, and paranoia. No one can bear its weight!"

"Ah, that's true. If it were really that easy to face, it wouldn't be called an inner demon."

He looked at the diffuse black fog, and the figure behind it gradually appeared in front of You Ming.

The old-fashioned suit and felt hat were the classic outfits of the last century's king. The golden bangs on his forehead that did not match his hair color made You Ming's mouth curl up.

Sawgrok?

Muto Sugoroku!

"So you're doomed."

"No, I won."

"what?"

The empress was stunned, but she only saw the smile appearing in the pair of true red eyes.

"You forgot one thing. Demons, the so-called inner demons, are ultimately fictional, so they can be easily crushed by reality."

…………

"Looks like my 'challenge' was successful, O'Brien."

Scarlet and darkness devoured his vision. Amidst the pain of being burned by flames, the mercenary only saw the man raise his hand.

"Then let this all end like this."

The sound of the abyss echoed, and an exquisite yet cursed necklace slowly emerged.
