Start with Dragon Maid and start dueling!

It was as if the negative effects of the passive triggering that had troubled Ling for years had finally disappeared.

"Normally, monsters won't be negated by effects, because there are no effects in the first place."

"Eh?" The head maid suddenly said something inexplicable, which confused Ling.

Just when Jonouchi was getting furious, behind them, the young man named Yugi Muto suddenly changed.

This change was very obvious in Ling's eyes.

There was a very special power, perhaps it should be called dark power, welling up from his heart.

This power even changed his appearance, making him incredibly taller by several dozen centimeters.

Muto Yugi's originally timid expression has now been replaced by a hint of coldness.

The gently rounded edges become diamond-shaped, turning into sharp blades that stab the enemy!

"Since you want to duel, let me be your opponent!"

Faintly, Ling saw an eye-shaped symbol on his forehead!

Sure enough, there are many people in this world who possess unique abilities like Pegasus.

Ling glanced at all the people in front of him and found a common feature among these powerful people.

They all wore gold objects that looked heavy.

Whether it was Pegasus's big golden eyes or the inverted triangle pyramid model of the boy in front of him...

Or, the white-haired boy who concealed himself very well among the crowd but was betrayed by the golden wheel on his chest.

They all possess the dark power that the head maid had told her about!

"Okay, the duel starts now!"

Ling stood up from the chair, with the deck of cards in her hands.

She will not be afraid of any mysterious power because she herself is one of them!

"Wait! Game!"

However, just as the duel was about to begin, Kaiba intervened and interrupted the duel.

"You're going to duel me, Yugi!"

He waved his hand and stood between the two of them, his eyes filled with complicated expressions.

"Since I lost to you, I have been suffering day after day, wondering every day why I lost."

"Now that I finally understand this, I'm going to end this with you today! I came to the Duel Kingdom not just for the Trojan Horse!"

"Kaiba...!"

When Yugi saw Seto Kaiba in front of him, he realized that he could no longer easily escape from his challenge.

Only a duel can quench Kaiba's burning flames of revenge.

Ling, who had just stood up, fell back into her seat, looking unhappy.

Other people's duels are so exciting, why is it so difficult for me?

"Yugi, if you want to duel Kaiba, leave that gloomy and scary, not at all likable brat to me!"

Jonouchi rolled up his sleeves and said excitedly, "Let me, the 8th place duelist in the duel tournament, meet you!"

"To me, it doesn't matter who comes to duel."

Ling only needs to collect ten star badges and enter the castle. It doesn't matter even if a yellow-haired bad guy who doesn't catch a cold challenges her.

"Where's the dueling venue? There's no place for a dueling platform at the gate?"

Looking around the castle, he couldn't find any facilities where he could duel.

Then an idea suddenly occurred to him and he came up with a plan.

"Hey, there's no way to duel without a dueling venue. I know a place right below the castle. How about you come there with me?"

How could Ling not understand what he was thinking.

As long as they leave the gate themselves, they will have the chance to go in.

"Naive idea."

When Ling "borrowed" a chair from the man in black, she found out some things.

The duel stage always appears at the right time and place.

And now is no exception.

She raised her hand and pointed to the floor tiles in front of her, and said confidently, "No need to go through so much trouble. The duel stage is right under your feet!"

As Ling finished her words, the ground suddenly began to shake!

"Wow...what happened?"

"The stairs are moving!"

Then I saw a change on a flight of stairs in front of the castle.

They collapsed one after another, revealing holes, and several mechanical platforms rose up to form a spacious dueling arena.

“Oh my…!” Jonouchi was standing exactly where the duelists were on the dueling stage, and was being lifted up slowly.

Ling was still sitting on the chair with her legs crossed, at just the right height to operate the interface on the duel stage.

"There is a projection equipment here!" Staring at the floating duel stage in shock, Jonouchi's plan obviously failed.

"Jounouchi," Yugi Muto observed with a frown, "Don't be careless."

"Humph, what can a mediocre person achieve?"

"Come on, Jonouchi! Defeat the guy blocking the door!" Honda shouted with his fist raised.

"I hope he can perform at the same level as when he duelled with Peacock Dance..."

"Hey, leave it to me," Jonouchi said, wiping his nose with his fingers sheepishly, "With you guys here, I can definitely win the duel!"

What a terrible bunch of people.

At this moment, Ling more or less understood how a lone villain would feel when facing a group of protagonists who were stuck together like glue and could not be shaken off.

If there is a so-called protagonist in this world, it must be the bad boy in front of him.

Ling placed her palm on the deck, her golden eyes narrowed slightly.

But I am not alone.

There was a slight warmth in my palm.

"Duel!"

Jonouchi Katsuya LP: 2000

Wanlong Dianling LP: 2000

Jonouchi took the initiative with an instinctive reaction and without thinking.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Oh?" When Jonouchi saw the card in his hand that had helped him turn the tables several times, a look of confidence appeared on his face.

"I actually got it in the first round. I'm so lucky."

After these two days of thrilling duels, Jonouchi's dueling skills have improved a lot.

He would not make the stupid mistake of using his trump card in the first attack round.

"This is the card I want to play!"

"Go ahead, noble warrior! Great Axe Raider!"

16 Rolling cards, Fu Liusi transforms!

Hey!

A strong warrior holding a huge axe jumped into the arena, shouting and swinging the axe, showing his superb axe skills!

"Cover up a card to end the turn."

"Hey."

After looking at the two cards in his hand, Jonouchi couldn't hide the confident expression on his face.

"As long as it's my next turn, I can use this strongest combination and launch an offensive in one fell swoop!"

"Oh no, Jonouchi has gotten too proud of himself again." Xingzi held her forehead and sighed.

She knew that whenever this happened, Jonouchi's hopes of winning were slim.

To prevent his friend from making stupid mistakes in complacency, Honda clenched his fists and shouted:

"Jounouchi, don't lose! If you lose, I won't forgive you!"

"Don't worry, I will never lose this duel. For Shizuka, I will definitely win the title!"

Jonouchi patted his chest confidently and assured them.

"Are you done?" Ling sat on the chair, her legs crossed in an unladylike manner, her arms resting on the armrests of the chair to support her cheeks.

His face was full of impatience.

"If this is your last words, you can leave a few more. I can wait."

"Otherwise...you won't have another chance."

The card depicting a fiery red dragon lingered on Ling's fingertips, casting a hint of bloody golden red on her pupils.

"Not only is he unlovable, but he's also so venomous!" Jonouchi frowned, drooping his eyes and muttering, "Be careful you won't have any friends."

"You don't have to worry about it!"

Ling was hit hard, and veins appeared in a criss-cross pattern on her head.

"Instead of caring about others, why not care about your own basic points!"

She immediately stood up from her chair, ready to fight, and picked up a card from her hand.

"Normal Summon Dragon Maid Laundry Maid!"

Ah~ Is it me this time?

A childish voice rang out on the duel field.

I saw a cluster of bubbles appearing densely at one point, and then spreading around like flowers.

A little girl, who was about eight or nine years old, jumped out happily!

She shook the sleeves of her small and delicate Japanese-style maid outfit and turned her head to look around curiously.

The horns on her head and the blue tail prove that she has a little connection with the dragon monster.
