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

Chapter 144: No Time to Enter the Chain
The flames of miasma burned the sky, and the dark wings shook the earth.

The moment the dragon appeared, the entire undead world seemed to be split in two, divided into completely different areas.

"Red-Eyes Undead Dragon (lv7)"

Attribute/Dark

"Race/Immortal"

"atk/2400 def/2000"

"The Undead Dragon... I never thought it could be revived even after being corrupted to this extent."

Gazing at the solitary figure hanging high above the undead world, the Undead King's ghostly eyes flickered.

He even felt a strong sense of threat from the body that clearly showed signs of corpse transformation.

just like……

"It can threaten your rule."

Suddenly, a voice echoed, bringing the king's thoughts back to reality.

His gaze gradually moved downwards, and what caught the king's eye was the young man in black clothes and white hair.

At this moment, as if in resonance, his left eye was surging with a true red glow like a flame.

"If you can rule this world with just the Red Eyes you stole, then it shouldn't be difficult for me, who also possesses a Red Eye, to do the same."

You Ming sneered.

For him, the so-called act of taking advantage of others has become an instinctive operation.

In this situation where there was almost no possibility of reconciliation, he even wanted to squat down and drink tea if necessary.

But unfortunately, this level of mockery had almost no effect on the Undead King. That "skull" without any flesh and skin could not bring any emotional value at all.

"Even so, it's just a shell that's barely moving."

Yes, what the Undead King said makes sense.

As the undead vest of Red-Eyes Black Dragon, the Undead Dragon has not changed much in terms of star level or dual dimensions.

"but……

"If you underestimate it, you will suffer a great loss."

Facing the burning eyes of the will-o'-the-wisp, You Ming waved his hand:
"Now, I open the face card - "Red-Eyes Fang with Chains" and equip it to "Red-Eyes Undead Dragon" as an equipment card."

Then, flames like dragon breath rose up, and two chains engraved with the True Crimson Seal wrapped around the dragon's wings, one on the left and one on the right.

"Weapons...but there is no increase in strength."

"Yes, Red-Eyes Fang doesn't increase your opponent's attack power, but a monster equipped with it can attack your opponent's monsters twice during the same Battle Phase."

"twice?"

When the Death King was almost speechless, You Ming issued an order:
"Now, let's fight—Red-Eyes Undead Dragon, attack."

Wrapped in gray miasma and flames, the undead dragon soared into the sky.

"Crush the Red Death—Blue Flame Bullet!"

Dark darkness and turbid blue intertwined, and surging miasma flames surged directly towards him.
"But, I have the Red Death on the field."

'boom'

When the blue fire collided, the Red Death was defeated in an instant.

[Death King LP: 4000 → 3600]

But then, blood flowed out from the body of the Undead King and quickly harmonized the body.

"If a monster on your side of the field is destroyed by battle or your opponent's card effect, you can pay Life Points instead. For every 1000 points you pay, you can protect the next monster."

[Death King LP: 3600 → 2600]

"However, this effect is permanent and does not chain."

"..."

"If we don't enter the chain, then we can't activate the effect of the Death King."

Facing the flickering ghost fire, You Ming just grinned.

"Also, thanks to Red-Eyes Fang, I can still attack once more!"

Once again, the will-o'-the-wisp flames surged under the reflection of the knight's true red eyes.

"Then, let's make our choice. Do you want to continue paying LP to protect your monster, or do you want it to be crushed?"

'Boom'

[Death King LP: 2600 → 2200]

Finally, under the second bombardment of the fierce fire, the body of the "Red Death" finally collapsed.

After all, this is not an environment with 8000 LP. One thousand four hundred points of damage can't be sustained a few times in this environment. What's more, in the dark duel, LP is almost linked to life and soul.

But that’s why…

"I'm not welcome."

'Zizzi'

'boom'

In an instant, the dissipated blood mist was enveloped by thick and sticky miasma.

"A monster destroyed by Red-Eyes Undead Dragon and sent to the Graveyard will be Special Summoned to my field."

Like plunder, and also like temptation, the blood mist condensed again on Youming's site.

"Vampire-Red Death (lv5)"

"atk/2000"

From beginning to end, the Undead King did not make any moves - as a wizard, his necromancy spells obviously could not be fully exerted in the fierce battle.

But of course, You Ming is more familiar with another way of saying it:
"Red-Eyes Undead Dragon's effect is activated during the damage step, so you can't chain it with your own effect."

"..."

"And so, the battle continues—the Red Death attacks the Vampire Lord."

The scarlet sickle was now covered in a sticky miasma. Then...

'boom'

2000vs2000, without activating any effect, the two vampires were defeated.

"Then, I end the Battle Phase, switch 'Meryl Dragon' to Defense Position, and then activate the effect of Royal Vein to Special Summon 'Elongated Stone Dragon' in Defense Position."

Then, a dark shadow appeared in the smoke and dust.

"Elongated Stone Dragon (lv6)"

Attribute/Dark

"Race/Dragon → Immortal"

"atk/0 def/2400"

Then, there was another series of broken sounds:
"Then, I activate [Unusual Food], sending [Super Magic Sword], [Armament Training], and [Red-Eyes Fang] to the Graveyard, restoring 3000 Life Points."

When the blood smoke finally dissipated, what appeared in the eyes of the Undead King seemed to be the boy's normal appearance.

Black Dragon Paladin LP: 1200 → 4200

"Then, since there's a Stone monster on the field, I'll place the Stone of Light from the Graveyard back on top of it."

"Then both cards are placed face down on the field - the turn ends."

Gradually, the burning miasma and fire gradually calmed down, and were replaced by the excitement and howling of the undead world.

"Perhaps, I indeed underestimated your fighting spirit and strength."

In the distance, various bone towers that gather souls are also flashing the cold light of the souls.

"In fact, beyond my expectation, you may understand this body better than I do."

But even so, You Ming suddenly had a very strange feeling.

Even at this point, the Undead King did not seem to display the same strong malice as the others.

As for the reason...

"But you have to admit that you and I are actually the same."

"...huh?"

"We all hate this world and everything about it."

"no……"

"That's why you understand my power so well, isn't it?"

"..."

No, buddy, I just know your effect.

You Mingxiang would say this, but unfortunately such words are not very convincing in this world view.

More importantly, the Deathly Hallows King didn't give him a chance to speak:

"Even if you only have a broken body, you still long for resurrection."

"..."

"You still thirst for revenge, for conquest and control."

Well, how to say it?

“That’s way off the mark.”

Hearing those words that were completely off the mark, You Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Listen carefully, Lord of the Dead. I don't have the ambitions you mentioned, nor do I have those desires. I am just an ordinary person with an ordinary wish."

"Ordinary people?"

Perhaps unable to accept this answer, the Undead King couldn't help but question it.

But You Ming believed it firmly.

"That's right, ordinary people—the reason I'm standing here is simply to avoid sadness and regret when I look back on the past, and to avoid the condemnation and torture of conscience."

He put his hand to his chest.

"So, I have to put an end to all of this!"

"So, you ended up becoming one of those people."

"what?"

"I arbitrarily cut off the so-called past and arbitrarily wanted to put everything I had experienced behind me."

The Netherworld Fire fluctuated, and the surging blood mist surged.

Finally, it turned into a ray of scarlet light in the eyes of the Undead King.

"But unfortunately, you can no longer change anything."

Finally, the first expression You Ming could see appeared on the skeleton's face - mockery:
"My turn."

A red glow bloomed on the skull's cane:

"Pick the card."

Just as the Undead King's gaze swept over the card that emerged from the sea of ​​corpses and blood, the echoing wails seemed to subside.

Gradually, as the only card turned over, a bright color emerged behind him.

"that is……"

That was something that shouldn't be here, let alone in its hands:
"Angel……"

As he lost his voice, a pair of wings spread out behind the King of the Dead.

But then it turned into collapsed bones.

"Activate Magic Card - Angel's Charity."

　ps1:

　　I was so lost in thought when writing that I realized I couldn't activate the Imperial Vein because the cover card was full. However, I didn't have any drafts saved and it was too late to modify them, so I deleted the "Eternal Chaos" section and moved it to the back.
