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

"This is...the sun...?" His throat tightened, and countless thoughts and images flashed through his mind.

For a moment, he was completely lost in thought.

Chapter 676 The Sun (4)

“Activate the Spell Card – [The Mischievous Twin Demons].” Malik smiled slightly. “Pay 1000 Life Points, and your opponent will randomly discard one card from their hand, then choose another card to discard.”

Upon hearing this, Nanyang Ling suddenly snapped out of her reverie: "Ancient Lost Card?!"

Ancient Lost Cards: Cards that were quickly destroyed during the early days of the Magic Cards' arrival due to their powerful effects, and were exhausted in the years of fighting for them.

Red team's basic score: 8000 → 7000

Two demonic imps, one red and one blue, leaped out of the void, grinning maliciously, and flew toward Nan Yangling's hand.

At the same time, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Several wisps of black energy surged from all directions, and pitch-black ghost hands rushed towards Luo Bai, coiling around him like venomous snakes.

"I—" Luo Bai's brows furrowed suddenly, his consciousness becoming somewhat hazy.

The chaotic whispers of ghosts and spirits echoed in his mind, as if trying to possess him.

"This bastard is losing health?"

"You want to brainwash me?"

"Hahaha..." Malik looked at Luo Bai, his eyes filled with undisguised greed, "A living body!"

A dark game involving three people, where the soul of the third person serves as a sacrifice.

He wasn't interested in Nanyang Ling's body; it was nothing more than a lamp about to burn out, and possessing it wouldn't make much sense.

Luo Bai is the real delectable fatty meat.

"Coach!" Nan Yangling saw Luo Bai's reaction and finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, and roared angrily at Malik, "Are you trying to ruin the fairness of the duel, you bastard!"

“Fair?” Malik seemed to have heard something amusing and burst into laughter. “Duel in the Dark is fair.”

He lowered his voice and spoke softly, like a ghost.

"It's very simple to protect him."

"You're losing health..."

"Then it won't corrode anymore, hahaha..."

As the evil words fell, Luo Bai and Nanyang Ling's eyes widened simultaneously.

【Twin Demons】stretched out their hands and slowly approached Nan Yangling's hand. Once the effect was activated, both of his only two hand cards would be removed, but he was still stunned and at a loss.

Luo Bai shouted, "Wake up!"

"Fight the duel however you normally would!"

"I won't let him brainwash me!"

Nanyang Ling couldn't hear Luo Bai's voice, but he saw determination in her resolute expression.

He gritted his teeth, flipped over a card, and said in a trembling voice, "Activate the effect of [Qilin]."

"Special Summon [Ganish], who destroys your hand!"

A resounding cry echoed across the battlefield as the Qilin leaped out of the flames, its body writhing in the blazing fire, majestic and inviolable.

“Disregarding the lives of your comrades?” Malik sneered. “What a heartless fellow, hahahaha.”

Ignoring his trash talk, Nanyang Ling tried to remain calm and said, "Activate the effect of [Sacred Flame King] in the Graveyard, Special Summon this card."

"Chain activation of [Ganish]'s effect, Special Summon [Baron] from the Graveyard!"

The Flame King Divine Beast was reborn from the ashes in the sea of ​​fire. The Holy Flame King flapped its wings and soared high in the sky, just like a newborn sun.

“Activate the effect of [Holy Flame King],” Nanyang Ling continued, “Destroy the [Kirin] in the deck and increase its attack power.”

"Activate the effect of [Kirin] again to Special Summon [Tenon Gamish] from the Graveyard!"

In the chain reaction, the Flame King Beast roared in the sea of ​​fire, each one reborn from the ashes. Before long, the Nanyang Opera Field was once again filled with five monsters.

Malik didn't take it seriously and slapped down a card with a cold smile: "Quick-Play Spell Card - [Book of Total Eclipse]".

"All face-up monsters on the opponent's field are changed to face-down defense position."

The total solar eclipse blocked out the sun, plunging the world into darkness.

“And this one.” Malik picked out a card, a sly glint in his eyes. “Spell Card – Harpy Feather Duster – Activate!”

"Destroy all magic traps on the opponent's field."

“And…” Nanyang Ling’s breath hitched when she heard this.

[Feather Broom] was successfully activated. A sudden gust of wind arose, transforming into countless feather blades that swept across his field.

The isolated island, the sacred domain, and the divine incineration were swept into the air, shattered into pieces by the gale, and collapsed with a deafening roar.

Nanyang Ling gritted her teeth and said helplessly, "[Island] was sent to the graveyard, destroying all the monsters on its field."

This is a guaranteed traitor effect, a powerful card that comes with inherent risks.

The isolated island has collapsed, and five monsters are submerged in the ruins.

Malik grinned smugly and said contemptuously, "How pathetic."

"What Flame King?"

"Hahaha...just a tiny firefly."

Luo Bai's forehead was covered with gloom as he muttered to himself, "[Spherical Shape], [Twin Demons], [Feather Broom], they're really mindless and brutal."

Fortunately, since the summon points have been used up, it will be difficult to kill Apollo in one turn, and the Life Points are also insufficient.

But there's something really scary.

The fact that they can produce the "Mischievous Twin Demons" suggests that there are likely other ancient lost cards as well.

Nanyang Ling frowned, his face pale. His territory was completely empty, and he was likely to be attacked.

“Don’t be so tense,” Malik laughed. “The Dark Game… has only just begun, hahaha.”

"Activate the Spell Card - [Angel's Charity]!"

Luo Bai's pupils contracted: "Just as I expected!"

“Another one…” Nanyang Ling gasped for breath.

“Draw three cards, discard two.” Malik sent two cards from his hand to the graveyard, then said, “Activate the Spell Card – Pot of Greed!”

"Draw two cards."

"Ah~" A sly smile played on his lips as he gently stroked the card with his fingers, as if caressing a precious treasure. "So satisfying~"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly pulled out the card, his face full of smugness and greed.

“Oh my—” Malik glanced at the two newly drawn cards, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said with a playful smile, “These are really interesting cards.”

Upon hearing this, Nanyang Ling immediately became extremely attentive.

Just as he braced himself for the impact, Malik gave a sinister smile and slowly said, "Three cards face down. End of turn."

"It's your turn again."

"Show off to your heart's content, hahaha."

A chilling laugh echoed in the air, as if an invisible hand were manipulating Nanyang Ling's heart.

He felt a chill run down his spine, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he stared warily at the four face-down cards.

"My turn, draw a card." Nanyang Ling quickly drew a card.

Malik suddenly grinned menacingly: "Open the face-down card—[Needle Worm's Nest], and send five cards from the deck to the graveyard."

Five cards were sent to the graveyard with a whoosh, their phantom images flashing by one by one.

"Activate the effect of [Ancient Guardian - Argento]!"

"Both players send 5 cards from their decks to the graveyard. If there is a [Reversal of the Realm] in the graveyard, either player sends 5 more!"

"Hahaha, let loose!"

He raised his hands to the sky, a strange sense of pleasure on his face.

"What exactly do you want to do!" Nanyang Ling growled uneasily. "Even if you pile up more..."

His eyes were fixed on the image of a card, and his voice suddenly stopped.

"Activate a Perpetual Trap—" Malik laughed maniacally, opening another face-down card, "[Necromantic Temptation]!"

"Each time a card is sent to the graveyard, the holder takes 300 damage for each card present!"

Chapter 677 The Sun (5)

“A single card inflicts 300 damage…” Luo Bai and Nan Yangling both widened their eyes at the same time.

[Ancient Guard] Effect settlement: Nanyang Ling is forced to send 10 tombs.

Malik, with a cold laugh, sent five cards to the grave, a hint of madness in his eyes. He brandished the Millennium Staff, his face contorted with rage: "Turn to ashes in the dark feast!"

The [Temptation of the Dead] emitted a hoarse low hum, releasing countless vengeful spirits, enveloping the entire room in a chilling aura.

The vengeful spirits twisted and tumbled in the air, piercing through Luo Bai and the walls. The demons danced wildly, emitting piercing screams and expressing endless resentment.

Blue side's basic score: 8000 → 5000

Red team's basic score: 7000 → 5500

Luo Bai felt a moment of dizziness and couldn't help but frown.

“Coach…” Nanyang Ling cast a worried glance at him.

At the same time, a mechanism that had been hidden in the wall for a long time was triggered, and dozens of red-hot iron arrows shot out like a rainstorm, cutting through the air and flying towards the stunned Nanyang Ling.

"Watch out!" Luo Bai regained his senses, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
