Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Chapter 61 Speed ​​61 Before the Rain
The next night.

The sky above the Satellite District was covered in vast, dark clouds, with faint flashes of lightning streaking across the sky. A torrential downpour threatened at any moment. A rumble of thunder echoed over the R District, and a flash of pale lightning illuminated the rolling door of an underground parking garage.

"despair……"

"despair……"

"despair……"

The sound of a cane hitting the concrete floor rang out from the empty underground duel arena. Keith Howard, dressed in an expensive old-fashioned suit, walked slowly in the arena. His face was a little gloomy, and his cloudy eyes were blurry, as if he was recalling something.

Decades ago, in the same weather, he suffered the greatest humiliation in his life! !
At that time, he had just won another major competition and was enjoying endless glory and applause. However, with the arrival of a long-haired man, his beautiful dream suddenly turned into a nightmare that he would never forget.

The man in the burgundy suit and with long silver hair is the founder of duel cards—the father of duel monsters, Pegasus!

According to the rules of the tournament, the champion will have a chance to fight the Father of Duel Monsters.

For Keith Howard, who was in high spirits at the time, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to enhance his reputation again. As long as he could defeat the creator of the duel cards, he would become the world's top card player!
In order to win more applause and cheers, Keith Howard made sufficient preparations. However, when he sat down at the table and was about to start this thrilling showdown, the strange man - Pegasus actually walked into the audience and brought up a little boy who was only eight or nine years old.

Keith Howard didn't understand his intention at first, but when he saw Pegasus handing the little boy a note and asking him to fight for him according to the instructions on it, Keith Howard's heart was instantly filled with shame and anger.

He didn't understand why the father of Duel Monsters would do this, and he didn't know what was written on the note.

Keith Howard started that duel with endless anger!

But in the end... he lost.

That's right, as the US champion, he lost to a boy who was less than ten years old.

Pegasus defeated him with just a note he had written in advance!
From then on, this became Keith Howard's lingering nightmare. The intense shame and frustration caused him to plummet in subsequent competitions, and he eventually fell from a professional champion sought after by thousands of people to a dirty and despicable underground duelist.

Over the past few decades, every time this kind of weather came, Keith Howard would think of this shameful past. The people who humiliated him had long since passed away, but the scars engraved on his dignity would never disappear.

It was precisely because of that lingering resentment that his dueling style gradually changed, from the thundering and lightning-fast fighting at the beginning to the cruel torture that was almost like torment today.

He wanted to insult and tease every opponent to his heart's content, just like how Pegasus had teased him!

Only in this way can the anger in his heart dissipate a little!!

"Ji..." A voice from behind suddenly interrupted his memories.

Keith Howard suddenly pulled out the pistol hidden in his crutch, turned around and pointed it, his face full of murderous intent and anger.

"Uncle Keith... Yes, it's me." The usually calm and composed fat man was startled, and the toothpick in his mouth dropped to the ground with a snap. "The competition is about to begin. Please bear with me and put this on..."

The fat man held a large black cloak with a hood. He had said that only Keith Howard would be needed for the final match, so he had sent people of similar build wearing the cloak to compete in the previous matches.

The voice of the man who was found was indeed a little different from Keith Howard's, but the entire underground duel arena was always very noisy, and no one could recognize the slight difference in timbre.

Keith Howard coldly put away the gun barrel and put it back into his crutch. Then, with the help of the fat man, he put on the bulky cloak...

Half an hour later, the originally empty underground dueling arena was crowded with all kinds of underground duelists.

On this day, even the king of the satellite area, Jack Atlas, who had not appeared before, showed up. He sat on the throne at the highest point of the venue, with his newly acquired D round next to him.

Amidst the roaring shouts and loud music, the two duelists slowly walked in amid cheers.

The referee and host is making his final opening remarks.

You Qing first glanced at the duelist hiding in the black robe opposite him, and then looked at Dickade who was ready to attack not far away.

They discussed it for a long time yesterday.

You Qing meant that he rode the D wheel here by himself, so even if something unexpected happened, he would have a way to escape.

But Dickade did not agree. He knew very well that anything could happen in the underground duel arena. You Qing’s driving skills were good, but if an accident really happened, would he have time to get on the D round?

In the end, Dickade temporarily got a motorcycle and two pistols through smuggling channels to ensure that in critical moments, the two could cover each other and escape in time.

You Qing and Dickade looked at each other and nodded.

Standing in the crowd, Dickade held the package tightly in his arms.

You Qing knew that there was a weapon hidden in the package, but... it was obvious that there was something else stuffed in the package. It was impossible for a pistol to make it so bulging. The package was prepared temporarily after Decade arrived here. You Qing didn't have time to ask what was in it.

Finally, the hostess with neat short hair gave the order and announced the start of the finals! !

A mountain of cash was placed in front of Jack Atlas' throne. Whoever won the championship would take the money and challenge the King of the Satellite Zone!
“Duel!!!!!”

A chorus of shouts rang out, and both sides of the duel began drawing cards at the same time!
You Qing knew that this method of seizing the initiative didn't offer any advantages for him, and he would most likely be the last to strike. But surprisingly, this time, he was the one who got the initiative?!

You Qing was a little surprised.

He didn't know whether it was because the thief Keith was now in his fifties and no longer had such good physical strength, or whether this guy did it on purpose. Under the mysterious black robe, nothing could be seen at all.

But You Qing didn't care too much. In his mind, he kept repeating the four words left by Mr. Sengzheng - "quick battle, quick decision"!
After drawing his starting hand, he waved his arm and the round began!!
