Yu-Gi-Oh!: This card wants to go to you.

【Serpent's Cursed Eye】is a truly terrifying card, as it increases the attack power of the equipped monster by the difference between their Life Points.

We are 6900 apart.

He was like playing a grand game of chess, turning the tables on his opponent at a critical moment.

But what I don't understand is...

Why not just equip the Medusa's Cursed Eyes directly to Sariel? With both eyes combined, Sariel's attack would skyrocket to 11000, potentially dealing 8000 damage in a single hit...?

Unexpected?

Impossible, I can think of that myself.

To accumulate stories for the [King of Cursed Eyes]?

Yes...that's right...that should be it...

As I was guessing this, I suddenly met his gaze.

How absurd!

I saw pity in his frenzied eyes.

Demon? Mercy?

I dealt him two direct hits of 3,000 damage each, and in the end, he actually started worrying that 8,000 damage would kill me...

What an naive man.

Just like a fairy tale.

But he underestimated me.

I withstood the 6400 damage inflicted by the [King of Cursed Eyes].

Just like that year, I took on the first "Destruction Wheel".

But he said...

[King of Cursed Eyes] can attack twice.

Twice... and twice again...

After I survived the first hit, my base score was reduced to 1400. The attack power of [King of Cursed Eyes] will then drop to the same level as [Cartoon Chaos Warrior].

We are not afraid of a second attack.

Fate's cruel jokes always come so suddenly. Just as I was preparing for the climax of this clash of powers, the raging flames spewed by the [King of Cursed Eyes] burned and engulfed the [Cartoon Kingdom].

My fairytale fantasy has been shattered.

The [King of Cursed Eyes] can destroy the opponent's cards during the battle phase; that's a terrifying effect.

But why not destroy it during the first attack?

Destroy the Cartoon Kingdom sooner, and the first attack won't be able to defeat the Cartoon Chaos Warrior. Once the Ancient Fairy Dragon regains control, the second attack will deal even more damage.

I don't understand the point of a damage-reducing playstyle.

In the dungeon, everyone wanted nothing more than to bite each other to death.

Until then, I saw pity in his eyes again.

He's still giving me a way out.

Truly kind people are like those in fairy tales.

If I fall after the second attack from the [King of Cursed Eyes], I still have a chance to survive.

The second time... and the second time again...

That year, I couldn't withstand the second [Destruction Wheel] and fell...

This time.

I don't want to fall down again.

The second attack of the [King of Cursed Eyes] has arrived as scheduled. This is a half-epic level card spirit whose attacks will carry true damage.

Flames surged like a raging torrent, and lightning flashed like swift silver snakes.

[The cartoon Chaos Warrior] turned to ashes little by little before my eyes.

The pain was even more intense than that year.

In the sea of ​​​​fire.

I met his gaze from a distance.

This was his last resort for me.

"terribly sorry..."

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you..."

"Duelist..."

"How can you give up halfway!"

"what--"

I stood firm, refusing to succumb to the excruciating pain or collapse into a pool of blood.

"I've made it through!"

In a daze, I saw the "fans" outside the cage transform into my teammates who fought alongside me back then.

"I've made it through!"

"I won! I won!"

"Did everyone see that? I made it through..."

I didn't embarrass Bian Yuelong.

I didn't embarrass everyone...

I really want to hug them again... Are they still on the team...? Are they doing well...?

But perhaps there will never be another chance.

The Ancient Fairy Dragon has returned to the opposing side.

Even the most beautiful dream is not mine.

Not far away, the [Armored Skeleton] set up a laser cannon.

By feigning defeat now, they might be able to be declared the loser sooner.

I raised my eyes, took a deep breath, and for the first time seriously faced my final opponent.

Part of his disguise was burned.

She seems quite demure; her ferocious face doesn't convey malice. I wonder if she likes fairy tales...

That's a really strong guy.

Their strength is completely unfathomable.

If we had met a few years earlier.

Maybe there'll be a chance to be teammates...

Not far away, lasers emitted a dreamy blue light, the world fell silent, and I saw so many things...

Today really is my lucky day...

"Boom!"

The laser pierced my chest, my head slumped, and in the excruciating pain, my consciousness gradually blurred. With my last ounce of strength, I bowed to him one last time.

"Thank you for your guidance..."

This is a professional duelist.

The final ritual in relation to victory or defeat.

...

My name is Qin Hua.

My favorite card is [Cartoon Chaos Warrior].

...

The winner takes all.

[Blue Side]

The cold, mechanical sound echoed in the air.

The Kaling projections dissipated one by one.

Luo Bai gasped for breath, gazing at the figure that had collapsed not far away.

He seemed to have seen something, and his gaze became somewhat vacant.

He blinked, and the crimson in his pupils slowly faded.

The fans outside the cage were enraged and kept throwing bottles and cans at the grizzly bear's corpse. They kicked and punched the powerless cage like madmen, shouting insults all the while.

"You good-for-nothing!"

"Damn it, they made me lose money!"

"waste!"

"Get up, you piece of trash!"

They pounded on the bars of the cage, and suddenly, as if malfunctioning, the cage was switched back on with a snap.

"what--"

The most aggressive ones in the front row were immediately electrocuted and knocked unconscious.

The iron gate of the regulatory hall slowly opened, and a young man in a black uniform walked out, coldly surveying his surroundings.

The crowd outside the iron cage immediately fell silent.
