The card player needs to win easily

"...!"

Seeing her friend finally arrive, Liva tried to pull her body out from under Celine.

There was no obstacle as expected, but he managed to pull himself up smoothly.

"What's going on here...WTF!"

Instinctively, the Siren immediately pounced to the other side.

He turned around and looked in horror at the one-handed sword that had been half a foot sunk into the asphalt ground where he had been.

"I will never admit my mistake... I found you!!!"

He easily lifted the one-handed sword from the ground, which did not curl even when it chopped into the hard ground.

Selene's anger and murderous intent filled her entire body.

"Although I don't know why you, a bastard, would appear here in my appearance—"

"Die now! You tyrant!!!"

A circle of blue light like sea waves emerged, and Celine rushed towards Siren with the momentum of cutting through the waves.

"You must have made some mistake—"

(If I get hit, my card-playing career will be over!)

He dodged two reckless slashes with an extremely extreme move.

Out of the corner of her eye, Siren saw Liva get up from the ground again and rush towards Celine.

"!"

Feeling something seemed to be restraining her waist, she turned her head and looked at Liva who was desperately pulling her from behind.

"Don't get in my way-"

He struck Liva's right hand hard with the hilt of the sword.

He let go of his hand with pain.

Then, Liva was hit by an elbow in the ribs.

"hiss!"

(It hurts so much!)

Celine rushed towards the Siren again.

But Liva had delayed long enough.

Siren slapped the "Dark Game Mode" option.

"Dark Game—Start!"

--------------------------------

The wide seaside.

At the dock, a container is being lifted by a crane and placed in its cargo compartment.

The sea breeze gently blows on the faces of passers-by, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of the vitality that Haima Company has brought to Tongshiye City.

But somewhere in there, something is happening.

"That's Jonouchi!"

Even from the helicopter, Yugi recognized the young man standing and waiting on the dock.

The altitude gradually decreases.

Yugi flipped out of the helicopter and landed on the ground.

"Jounouchi, are you okay—"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Yugi Muto."

A voice completely different from his usual enthusiastic and cheerful self came out of Jonouchi's mouth.

Ruthless.

"Jounouchi...Have you been brainwashed by Malik?"

Even after seeing the result with his own eyes, Yugi was unwilling to believe it.

"Let's duel. You are one of the two tall walls in front of me."

"If I don't completely defeat you, my life will have no meaning."

"Is this Malik's brainwashing..."

Kaiba, who saw many members of Gurus taking extreme actions for a leader whose whereabouts were unknown, understood Katsuya Jonouchi's current situation.

(This mortal bone seems to have changed drastically.)

"Yugi, you can't escape this fight."

"After defeating your ridiculous friend, I will go on to kill the Duel King."

“Kill…?”

Yugi looked at the huge device behind Jonouchi.

There were two opposing locations, each with a box marked with a key pattern and a chain connecting to the top.

And right above the center, a huge anchor hangs above.

Behind it, a container was being lifted by a crane, and a familiar-looking girl was sitting on the seat underneath.

"——Kyoko!"

"What's this!"

Yugi got a good look at Kyoko sitting underneath the container, while Kaiba was shocked by the massive contraption.

(When did they build something like this at this dock!)

Although it is simple, its function is clear at a glance.

The two duelists stood on either side, tying themselves to chains connected to the anchor overhead.

Then, as long as a certain condition is triggered - probably the basic points of either party are reduced to zero, the anchor will drop.

Finally, let the winner open the box under his feet in advance, take out the key from it, and unlock the chains under his feet.

"This is a death duel!"

"Yes."

Kyoko, who was sitting, spoke in a mechanical voice.

"This is a death duel with no escape unless your basic score is reduced to zero."

"If you don't come, then the container on top of me will fall down."

There is no way out.

Under Malik's layers of calculations, he was forced here.

"How can I save you!?"

"Rescue? Hehehe... Yugi Muto, you seem to have made a mistake."

"It is I, Jonouchi Katsuya, who will take the right to live away from you!"

After making the harsh remarks, Jonouchi turned and walked away.

"Jounouchi! I know you've always hoped we could have another official, all-out duel!"

Jonouchi paused.

"But listen to me!"

Yugi put down the duel disk.

"This duel is not the one you wanted!"

"This is a trap! A trap for us!"

Yugi's sincere words made Jonouchi pause once again.

(Jounouchi, you have to kill him, kill Yugi Muto.)

(This way, your path to becoming a duelist will be smooth.)

The voice that came from his mind poured into Jonouchi's soul.

He stopped and gave the game behind him a mocking look.

"I'll be waiting for you at that death duel arena, Yugi Muto."

"No matter what you say, you can't change my determination!"

--------------------------------

"Dark Game Mode activated."

The aqua blue scenery immediately covered all the surrounding scenery.

The sea surface replaced the road, glowing with a soft blue light.

Several tree-like branches passed through several discs and reached the sky, as if supporting the entire world.

"It has been detected that 'Tear Crown Elegy: Siren' is not in the deck. 'Dark Game Mode Type 2' has been activated."

"Type 2?"

Siren looked at the duel disk in her hand.

This doesn't seem to have changed.

"I'm back?... No!"

Looking at the Siren who was standing there in a daze, Celine raised her one-handed sword again.

"This world doesn't have them—you did this, didn't you!"

A powerful energy just swept through Celine.

(Renohart—you finally showed your strength!)

The days when I was tortured by that tyrant are still vivid in my mind.

I and my companions always hope to escape from this kind of life.

(Now, I see this bastard again—)

Even if the surrounding environment changes again, Sylvan will walk towards the Siren from the sea without hesitation.

"It's just me—even if it's just me!"

"Don't even think about getting out of here!"

Duel City Part 1: Chapter 56: Fusion Copy

Since there hasn't been any substantial change...could it be that the only way to resist is to get stuck?

Siren looked at the duel disk strapped to her left arm with a strange expression.

"Whatever—I can only try my best to save the dying horse!"

It was obvious that the Selene in front of him had greater strength and speed than himself after being covered with a layer of blue light that seemed to be used for assistance.

Then, conventional methods should not work on her.

Looking at Siren getting closer and closer, Siren made a decision.

Draw cards from your deck!

The moment this thought came to her mind, five cards appeared in her hand.

"Normal Summon 'Melo Mermaid of the Pearly Tearful Lament Tribe'!"

The moment the card was placed on the duel disk, something magical happened.

Under no control of her own, the card of "Melo Mermaid of the Pearly Tearful Singing Tribe" itself transformed into a beam of light.
