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

Chapter 27 "Fall"

You Ming once said that he liked "Bataiwu" very much.

This is certainly not some flattering words, but the fact.

「Bataiwu (lv2)」

Attribute/Wind

"Race/Demon"

"atk/200 def/100"

Although it doesn't seem to be that strong just looking at the panel, it also has the common side effect of "returning to hand at the end of the turn" that is unique to Soul Monsters.

However, its effect is enough to make up for its shortcomings - when this card inflicts battle damage to the opponent's basic points, the opponent's card drawing phase in the next turn is skipped.

And when this card pops out without any resistance, it means that the seemingly brave Mr. Demon King has completely lost the right to play the game.

"You're not allowed to play Yu-Gi-Oh!"

You Ming never thought that this sentence, which contained a hint of ridicule in itself, would be so suitable for the context.

It's not even about the expansion being blocked, but Mr. Demon King has lost the power to draw cards from this moment on.

"[Fire Kagutsuchi] directly attacks the player."

Dark Demon King LP: 5000 → 2200

"Bataiwu, direct attack."

Dark Demon King LP: 2200 → 2000

what is this?
Peck.

what is this?
Peck.

As long as Yatawu is present, Mr. Demon King is destined to maintain a state of 0 cards in hand.

There is no action, just passively taking the beating.

If there is anything to be thankful for, it is probably that the opponent we face is not that brutal.

"[Fire Kagutsuchi] directly attacks the player."

"..."

Dark Demon King LP: 2000 → 0

There was no torture, no 200-point 200-point HP loss, but instead the higher-attack "Fire Kagutsuchi" was given a pleasant blow.

You Ming felt that he was already quite kind.

Congratulations to the host for defeating the duelist team: 'Dark Demon Lord & Dark Invader'. A total of 350 points were earned in this duel.

"It's finally over..."

Of course, you can say you are tired.

After all, it is actually very boring to drag out this kind of game for a long time, especially when the opponent has no reaction at all.

'Zizzi'

On the other side, the flames were still dancing, and the Dark Demon King's enclosed armor, which should have been ferocious, was roasting his body like teppanyaki meat.

Even though the duel was completely over, the remaining flames of the Oriental Fire God still lingered.

finally……

'Kara'

The crack that was originally only located on the chest began to spread outward, and a wisp of liquid black smoke rose, condensing the collapsed armor into a card.

After picking it up, You Ming saw the figure of a demon appearing on the card.

His face was hideous, seemingly cold and arrogant, but it also revealed pain and torture as if he was enduring something.

Magic Card——"Fall".

"Honestly, I thought it was the Dark Lord, but it wasn't even a monster card."

"Well, it looks like something has been stripped out of him."

"That means..."

You Ming casually put the card and Mr. Demon King's deck into his pocket and looked straight ahead.

When the armor crumbled, Mr. Demon King's body and hair also transformed back to their normal color.

When he raised his head again, You Ming saw a familiar face - of course, as familiar as the invader and the demon king.

"Warrior Dai Greyfa."

Usually there is only one monster card, which is also an old card from the early days.

It is worth mentioning that You Ming has several cards whose images are related to him, such as the Rough Man's Prediction.

"I... where am I?"

After hearing his own name, the warrior who was originally confused and drowsy seemed to have found his direction.

"You...who are you?"

The warrior asked in a low voice, looking very confused.

But before he could get an answer, pain and sleepiness overwhelmed his mind, causing the warrior, said to have hidden talents, to fall back to the ground.

Suddenly, the snoring sounded like thunder.

Although he looked like he was seriously injured, his extremely steady breathing proved that he was in good health.

"So...should I say congratulations?"

After moving his eyes away from the warrior, You Ming looked at Nai Ya.

"This guy seems like a great warrior who hasn't completely fallen?"

But in the end, he himself couldn't help but put a question mark.

I don’t know whether he is great or not, but judging from the official cards, he is quite humorous.

"But no matter what, his previous performance was quite remarkable, not to mention there should be a lot more to be discovered from him."

"I know. I will arrange these things."

Looking at Grayfa sleeping, Noa slowly closed his eyes.

"Their plans, their purpose, and more importantly, how they..."

'thump'

The sudden collision sound aroused some uneasiness. When You Ming turned around, he saw that the boy who should have been elegant suddenly fell to the ground.

"Nia?" "Hmm..."

Fortunately, he did not completely lose consciousness.

When You Ming tried to help him up, his tender little hands simply grabbed the corner of the table.

He stubbornly held on and slowly stood up.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

In the inexplicable darkness and shadows, an unspeakable fatigue appeared on his pale face.

"After all, dark games are quite a burden to me."

"Ah."

"..."

Perhaps it was because You Ming's response was too simple and clear, and he didn't ask any further questions, which made Noah not know how to start.

He opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he just sighed:
"If possible, please don't tell anyone about this. I have always wanted to present a perfect image to others."

"Well, I know. As a leader, I can't let people see my vulnerable side."

"It's so kind of you to understand, thank you so much."

He casually turned on the desk lamp - it was green, just like the color displayed by the duel disk.

With deep breaths, Naiya's complexion gradually improved, and that elegance naturally returned to his face.
He slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window that still existed, overlooking the city that belonged to him - Shindo Mino City.

At this moment, the whole city is no longer as peaceful as before.

The factory turned into a sea of ​​fire and the port was filled with black water.

The city, which should have been high-end but inexplicably retro, has fallen into chaos and turned into a chaotic battlefield.

Demon Dragon

"Lower-level demon"

"Evil Knight Dragon"

Dark shadows roam and demons wreak havoc.

At just a glance, You Ming could even see a few monsters with names walking around.

"terribly sorry."

Just as You Ming was surveying the scenery that seemed to be in chaos, he heard Noa's voice.

"I originally wanted to show you this city that makes me proud, but now it has turned out like this."

"So... do you need help?"

He turned his head.

Under the illumination of the green light, the shadow not only did not dissipate, but seemed to become even more solid.

An inexplicable sense of unreality permeated the air, as if the boy standing before him was nothing but pure illusion.

But fortunately, Noah's words broke all illusions.

"No need, we can handle it."

'boom'

Instantly, even more violent tremors echoed.

In the burning factory, a steel motor giant slowly stood up, and a huge battle boat rushed out from the churning black water.

Amidst the roar of cannons and the howling of ghosts, and in the smoke and dust that looked like volcanic ash, the residents of the new Tongshiye City finally launched a counterattack against the invaders.

"Jingle Bell"

The phones rang at once.

This time, Naia didn't answer the call directly, but instead reached out and pressed the hands-free button.

Then, a voice came clearly from the phone:
"Niago."

The sound sounded like a machine synthesis, making You Ming feel a little unfamiliar.

However, Naia smiled:
"What's wrong? Do you want to report your results?"

There was a hint of intimacy in his voice.

only……

"Something happened, Naiya brother."

"Ok?"

"Our forward base has been lost."

"what?!"

"Uncle O'Brien sent a report from the front earlier."

The synthesized voice should have been ruthless, but You Ming could hear a hint of bitterness in it.

"He... he said the front lines were completely defeated, and the defensive line we established had been lost, and then..."

The voice seemed unsure how to continue, but the brief pause only served to unnerve one.

No matter how calm a person is, they can't help but ask:
"and then?"

"Uncle Gou Saburo was there to cover the others, and his life or death is unknown."

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

In the cold and silent office, there was not even a sound of breathing.

It was unknown how much time had passed before You Ming heard the sound of deep breathing.

"Call together representatives from all parties. I'll hold a combat meeting in half an hour... no, an hour."

Under the green desk lamp, his eyes swept over, with a hint of depth.

At that moment, You Ming saw almost the same light in his eyes.

"You Ming, you should join in too."

"Ah? Why?"

"Because you're a duelist too, aren't you?"

What kind of lame excuse is this?
