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

Chapter 277 It Seems Like I'm the Villain

"Curry~"

The battle came to an abrupt end.

After the little, fluffy, adorable demon disappeared, everything seemed to return to normal, except for the blank battlefield and the only duelist standing there—"Crimson King"—proving that the battle had indeed taken place.

In an instant, it seemed that no one spoke, and only an eerie silence echoed in the dueling arena.

finally……

"Is that the end?"

The sound then came from the dueling arena.

It wasn't some unrelated party; it was the person involved himself.

Katsuya Jonouchi—he clenched his fists, looking somewhat unwilling, but after the breeze blew, everything seemed to return to calm.

"I'll end this round here."

"No...it's alright, Jonouchi."

Looking at the seemingly frozen duel arena, Honda couldn't help but speak up.

"You've already destroyed the monsters on the field, so you have the advantage now. There's no need to rush..."

But even though he didn't know much about witchcraft cards or Duel Monsters, he had a premonition:
"It has ended."

"It's in the castle," he said in a low voice.

His gaze shifted from his bewildered friend, who seemed unsure of what to say, and he looked directly across the battlefield.

On the empty battlefield, the Pharaoh still stands behind the dark vortex.

"game!"

He raised his voice.

At the same time, no more words are needed; that call alone conveys everything.

"My turn, draw a card!"

The Pharaoh's eyes narrowed:
"Then, at the very end of your turn, I will reveal my face-down card and activate the Trap Card 'Wild Ace,' sending the Spell Card 'Wild Ace Straight' from my Deck to the Graveyard and activating its effect—depending on which I will discard one card from my hand, Special Summon 'Queen Knight' from my Deck, then add 'King Knight' to my hand, and after that, depending on the effect, I can directly Summon it."

"The Queen's Knight"

"atk/1500"

"King's Knight"

"atk/1600"

Through a series of actions, the Queen and the King came into being.

But as soon as the card's effect finished, the two knights raised their longswords.

'clang'

With a metallic clang, a third longsword slowly emerged:

"When the 'King' and 'Queen' appear on the battlefield together, they will summon a third knight—the 'Guard Knight'—as a special summon!"

"Guard Knight (lv5)"

"atk/1900"

The three knights stood tall on the battlefield, seemingly radiating boundless power.

“Jonnori, although this card still does not belong to me, it is the highest respect I can express for this duel and for you.”

Gently holding the last monster card, the Pharaoh slowly flipped it over.

Then, a ray of golden light appeared:
"I offer the 'JQK Three Knights' on the field as a sacrifice, invoking the descent of the gods!"

Then, the 'sun' that should have been floating above the clouds descended.

"Ra's Winged Ra (lv10)"

Attribute/God

「Race/Abyss」

"atk/? def/?"

"So this is the power of the Phantom God... But its attack power shouldn't be unknown, right?"

"That's right, the Winged Dragon Ra's current attack power is equal to the sum of its sacrifices."

「atk/?→5000」

"Attack power of five thousand..."

When the blazing sun spread its wings, the city felt an intense blinding light.

But at the same time, an indescribable contradiction arose in his heart.

As a duelist, he was naturally disappointed. The attack that was blocked by "Kuriboh" destroyed all his hopes, and all his previous efforts and counterattacks were in vain.

At the same time, he was also very happy, after all, the man in front of him—Yugi Muto—was the goal he had always been pursuing.

Not to mention, they're friends. "Ra's Winged Dragon, let this duel draw to a close."

"game!"

The sudden call seemed to freeze time itself.

Under the blazing sun, the black-clad dragon warrior couldn't help but laugh.

"Within the city..."

"Gotta win."

"Ah, of course."

The phoenix swiftly attacked in the next moment:

"Divine Flame Cannon!"

In the firelight, the Crimson King's armor rapidly peeled away.

at the same time……

【Katsuya Jonouchi's LP: 400→0】

"The duel is over. The winner is Yugi Muto!"

"Finally... it's over."

At the edge of the dueling arena, Yu Ming, who was a spectator, also breathed a sigh of relief.

He wouldn't say he was completely satisfied, but when he saw the divine flames sweep across the area, he did feel a warm glow in his heart.

only……

"It's our turn next."

The Chaos Warrior's voice made him swallow his jumbled thoughts.

"Are you ready?"

"So what kind of response can I give besides affirmation?"

Meeting those resolute eyes beneath the helmet, You Ming couldn't help but shrug.

As the figure of the Chaos Warrior faded away, the mechanical wheel spun, slowly ejecting the pre-prepared deck.

"Then let's bring this duel in the city to a close!"

"Hmm, that's a cool thing to say, but don't you want to consider the current atmosphere?"

"huh?"

Just as Yumei was feeling a sense of satisfaction, like "CNM is on fire," Yashiki-dō's sudden吐槽 brought him back to reality.

Then, he felt a chill on his neck.

"Ahh..."

Following the inexplicable chill, he couldn't help but look at the slowly descending dueling arena. He didn't know when, but most of the surrounding crowd had already gathered there.

Surrounded by Mai Kongjaku, Shizuka Kawai, Kyoko Masaki, Katsuya Jonouchi, and Hiroto Honda, Yugi Muto sits in the very center.

At this moment, his 1.53-meter height was radiating an aura comparable to that of someone 1.8 meters tall!
"Next comes our battle, Yumei."

The Pharaoh spoke.

"Whatever trials you present, I will overcome them..."

As he said this, he slowly raised the Duel Disk in his hand:
"In the name of the cards, in the name of friendship, I will go all the way in this competition!"

As if a certain resonance had occurred, something long forgotten appeared in their minds.

Duel in Another Dimension: Trial of Light and Dark

Oh, I almost forgot, the six-year-old has already been dealt with prematurely, and the seahorse has been crushed.

"So now I'm the one blocking the way for the main characters."

As his fingers gently caressed the smooth back of the card, You Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

To be honest, when that moment actually arrived, he still felt very strange.

But more than those pointless complaints, perhaps it's the lack thereof that's the real issue...

"Then let this feast begin as soon as possible."

excited!

"But now is not the time for the final."

Just as the tense atmosphere was spreading, referee Isono interrupted it as if he didn't feel anything.

There was no sign of confrontation from the spirits, nor any atmosphere of dueling; he simply issued a declaration like a robot:

"The final match will begin in one hour. Duelists, please adjust your decks accordingly and prepare for the upcoming match."
