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

Chapter 264: Explosive Beginning
"The roster for the Duel City semi-finals has been released:
The first match will be between Seto Kaiba and Yu Mei.

The second match is between Yugi Muto and Katsuya Jonouchi."

On top of the Duel Tower, the diligent referee Isono was announcing the next content, and in that serious atmosphere, an almost terrifying low pressure gradually spread.

Kaiba Seto - from the moment he officially entered the top of the tower, his expression could only be described as gloomy.

Between the brown hair and beneath the bangs, there was a gloom that could freeze others:

"Oh no, it seems like I'm being remembered."

"Who told you to play like that? You kill the opponent in one turn, drain the deck, and don't even have a chance to move. Anyone would be angry, right?"

Looking at You Ming's expression that looked like something was wrong, Yashiki-do couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"And didn't you say you should play less decks that attack walls?"

“That’s still different.”

"What's the difference?"

"After all, watching Seahorse Hongwen is much more interesting than playing cards."

"..."

"But it doesn't matter."

Under the strange gaze of the house boy, You Ming sighed:

"Since Kaiba wants to cause trouble for me, I will fight him to the end."

"So you're the one who's been causing trouble for him, right?!"

“You Ming!!”

Before the extremely loud complaints of the house boy could completely fade away, an angry voice came from the front.

Of course, there is also the pride that is disguised as rationality:
"Although the current situation is completely contrary to what I imagined, and your unimaginable tactics have indeed caused me considerable trouble, I will not back down because of something unexpected."

‘Wow’

As he spoke, a blinding cloud of dust suddenly rose up from above the tower.

"Your ridiculous tactics will only work once. In the next battle, I will show you my true power."

But when the scenery became clear again, he discovered that a huge foreign object had mixed in.

The huge blue, strong body stood there.

Of course, it's not quiet:

"Grumpy"

Like a violent tremor coming from beneath the desert earth, or like a cry from the abyss of the underworld, the god of war who controls the earth and wind and sand and symbolizes bloody killing seems to be expressing his anger.

Or maybe... Seto Kaiba - the wrath of another Pharaoh!
Watching this scene, even though You Ming was calm, some thoughts emerged in his mind:
"So where's your White Dragon?"

Of course, this question does not need to be answered, because the answer has already been given, whether in the original work or now:

"Can we start now?"

"Ah."

"Then let him see the real power."

"Ah yes, yes, true power."

Under You Ming's gaze, the Curse Spirit gently placed his hand on the broad hilt of the sword.

Then, as the light streamed, the mechanical wheel of the deck began to spin.

'patta'

The gun-like structure slowly ejected the deck, and You Ming slowly took out the deck that was as gorgeous as a gem.

Immediately afterwards, a dragon's roar echoed, and a holy glow appeared in the sky.

In the clouds, there seemed to be the shadow of a giant dragon...

“Blue Eyes…”

Catching a glimpse of the giant dragon's eyes emerging from behind the clouds, Kaiba Seto clenched his fists.
Perhaps at that moment, a tremor did indeed emerge in his heart.

The white dragon was clearly looking at him silently, but he could hear the scream from the depths of his soul.

An inexplicable drowsiness emerged in his mind, and Kaiba couldn't help but put his hand on his deck.

With just a casual pull, an almost identical image appeared on the card in front of him.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon"

But when the familiar card picture appeared before his eyes, a trace of irritation emerged in his heart.

But when he subconsciously tightened his grip on the staff that was still hidden in his arms, the dizziness and irritability did not completely disappear, but became even worse.

Disaster, roaring, crying, mocking...

Perhaps it was a scenery he had never seen, or perhaps it was his childhood memory. When those things appeared in his mind, they were completely torn apart by the wind, sand and giant fists.

"If you still think these bullshit visions can shake me, then you are too naive!" "No, so what did you see?"

"Come on, no matter what, no matter what kind of obstacles there are, I will tear them apart with my absolute strength!"

He suddenly stuffed the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" back into the deck and began to shuffle the cards rapidly.

And when he put the deck back into the duel disk, time seemed to have just begun to flow.

"Well then, the first match of the Duel City semi-finals is about to begin."

As if he knew nothing and saw nothing, referee Isono just said in a strong voice:

"Duelists, please take your positions."

Then he raised his right hand high:
"The duel begins!"

'boom'

Almost at the moment the words fell, the giant god symbolizing war rushed into the sky.

At that moment, the surging power swept outward, as if completely obscuring the scenery around the tower.

"There's so much sand...I can't open my eyes."

"Shizuka, what's wrong with you? Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Quickly protecting his sister behind him, Jonouchi couldn't help but pursed his lips.

"Brother, the wind is so strong here..."

"No, it's not just 'wind'."

Looking up, Jonouchi just looked at the scenery above the sky.

Above the white clouds, the giant god was constantly bombarding the formed gem barrier, and behind it, the silver-white dragon with pale eyes was accumulating white light of destruction.

"That's a fight between duelists."

'boom'

As the words passed, the battlefield in the sky seemed to have decided the outcome.

The barrier that looked like raw mineral stone was shattered in an instant, and the fragments fell down along with the figure and landed directly on the duel field.

'boom'

In the smoke and dust that seemed to be visible only to true duelists, Bailong gradually transformed into a female warrior.

"Tsk, so relying solely on the power of the Blue Eyes isn't enough."

"You lost?"

"Tsk, there are too many impurities in this world. I can't let my soul run free here."

But no matter what excuses you find, no matter whether the reasons are reasonable or not, it cannot change the fact that is about to happen:
"I'll take the first attack."

Right in front, the azure giant also landed.

Under the shadow of that fierce figure, Kaiba Seto simply raised his finger:
"Then, I will prostrate myself before the true power—my turn!"

At the moment he declared, a flash of light seemed to flash across his fingertips.

Faintly, the blue giant seemed to be integrated into his deck.

“Draw a card!!”

Watching the scene that seemed to merge into one, You Ming's expression became strange:
"So you won't be defeated so completely that he'll draw the God Card in the first round, right?"

"of course not."

The Curse Spirit glanced at him:
"I've been in more battles than these young men have ever heard."

'Kara'

The moment the Curse Spirit's words fell, a crack appeared on the giant's body.

“So, of course I know how to make the decision.”

'boom'

Like a targeted explosion, a second explosion of the wind bomb was heard inside the giant god's body. At that moment, the stream of light in Kaiba's hand was shattered in an instant.

"Zizzi"

The light of the phantom god faded from the drawn card, and the deep blue seemed to have never existed from the beginning to the end.

"Tsk."

Gazing at the duelist's gloomy expression, the Curse Master simply sheathed his sword.

"There's no way he'd use a puppet that carries divine power in the first round."

"...So this is still a duel?"
