The card player needs to win easily

"That's right! This final will be held at an altitude of over a thousand feet!"

"The eight qualified contestants will compete in the finals to determine the sole winner!"

"Those who have passed the inspection may proceed first—remember to put on the duel disks we are now uniformly equipped with."

Among those who came to this finals, there must be one who holds the God Card "Winged Dragon of the Sun God", the leader of the Gurus Group, Malik.

It is necessary to use a tuned duel disk with a physical firewall to prevent the Gurus Group from causing trouble.

Mu Ma waved to the others and walked into the duel boat where the stairs were lowered.

"After the inspection... Is there no way for us to get up there?"

Shizuka, who was being pulled by Honda, asked worriedly.

"If you're not qualified but just want to watch, it shouldn't be a problem, right? I'm one of them, right?"

From behind the door, Trojan poked his head out.

"Brother? What do you think?"

"Humph."

Kaiba crossed his arms.

"I'll just pretend I didn't see it."

Kaiba wouldn't have much to say if his brother did that.

What he cared more about was winning back the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and the remaining God Cards in this final.

"Then let's hurry up and come up—"

A man walked out of the arena door.

Gray and slightly messy hair, and a boyish face.

"Namu? You're okay!"

Jonouchi felt somewhat happy.

He wasn't the only one knocked unconscious by the Gurus Group—and Namu, probably because he had nothing to do with the game, was released.

"I am coming."

Malik, who still had a few band-aids on his forehead, answered in a not-so-happy tone.

(This bastard...)

The person who completely ruined Malik's early plans, even if he wanted to pretend, he no longer felt happy.

However, in order to attract firepower and obtain more information, he had to swallow his anger.

No one in the city noticed anything.

But, Liva stood behind Malik, staring at him and listening to Siren's suggestion.

"…playing with him? Are you serious?"

"I want to see rivers of blood... ahem, that's not what I meant."

As if sensing Liva's sharp gaze, Siren quickly retracted the statement that was supposed to represent a certain image of Liva.

"Why are there so many trees in this place... I mean, we're here to fight Malik, right?"

He nodded slightly.

"If the six-year-old doesn't show up, then this boss battle won't happen at all... Then Lishid has to fall first."

Although it's a bit corny, it's actually the best way.

After all, playing cards is the first priority.

"Hey, what a treat."

The strange sound came from the Siren to Liva's ears again.

But it was obvious that he had a specific intention - he was pointing at the calm Celine on the other side.

(…I feel like this guy’s first priority is a little off.)

"This black robe... could it be that!"

A tall man in a black robe came over, holding a golden short staff.

"Malik!"

For some reason, his originally handsome face was now covered with several hideous tattoos containing unknown characters, making his temperament even more sinister.

(Has Malik's attendant, Lishid, arrived yet...?)

Liva looked at him.

"Malik" stood still, holding the duel disk.

Several staff members surrounded him.

"If you want to participate in this final, please change the duel disk in your hand."

Even without evidence, everyone guessed that "Malik" was a member of the Gurus Group based on his attire.

"Malik! Do you really think you can get away with something like this?!"

Yami Yugi pointed at him angrily.

His partner and Jonouchi almost left him forever because of the "good things" done by the Gurus Group.

He was now extremely angry—so angry that he had already picked up the Millennium Brick and was ready to launch a mind-blow attack.

"I never thought of escaping, wretched Pharaoh."

There was no trace of emotion in his calm pupils.

"You will die in a duel."

"you!"

Jonouchi was about to pounce.

"Jounouchi Katsuya, do you want to be manipulated by me again?"

"You bastard, I really want to beat you up right now—but now that we're here, I'm definitely going to defeat you, this sinister villain, fairly and squarely!"

"Malik," that is, Lishid, did not reply.

Instead, he took the replaced duel disk and walked straight onto the duel airship.

(Isis...are you here too?)

After Malik left, Lishid met Isis again.

"Lishide, do you really want to go on like this?"

The gold object around her neck glowed.

Lishid knew her subtext.

If you insist on doing things your own way, no good results will be waiting for you.

But he would not retreat, just as Isis had predicted countless times.

No matter how many times I am persuaded, I will not back down.

"ok, I get it."

Isis gave Lishid something and turned away.

He opened his palm.

That is one of the thousand-year-old artifacts.

Millennium jewelry.

"Lichide, use it—perhaps then you'll be able to see the future clearly."

Lishide clenched the thousand-year-old jewelry in his other hand.

Perhaps because of Isis's words, or perhaps for some other reason, this was the only thing he hadn't told Malik.

(Maybe... at some point, it will be useful.)

PS: Three thousand words in four days, my efficiency is really high!

I type 3000 letters every day, which in a sense means I update words a day (boo).

Duel City Part 1: Chapter 64: The Sanctuary of the Sky

"The night view of Tongshiye can be seen in its entirety from this place..."

"Brother, you are really amazing to be able to reach here!"

Shizuka sighed as she stood in front of the huge French window.

Perhaps because she had just taken off the bandages, she was extremely excited to see the world again.

"As such a powerful duelist, of course I can take to the skies!"

Hearing the praise from his sister, Jonouchi's nose was soaring to the sky.

"Humph."

A disdainful, seahorse-specific snort.

"It seems your joy has reached its peak, you mediocre duelist."

"You actually called me a mediocre again!?"

First he was a jack of all trades, then he was an ordinary person, and now Jonouchi's name has even become a mediocre person.

"I'm sure your blood will freeze after you see that brutal duel."

Kaiba ignored Jonouchi who was being held back by Honda and turned his gaze back to the face of the "Siren".

"I can't underestimate the enemy anymore."

"I will personally retrieve that Blue-Eyes White Dragon with my deck and Obelisk's Colossus, and wash away all the shame you've inflicted on me."

No reply.

After all, Celine had no idea what Kaiba was talking about—this puzzled expression made him think it was a form of contempt.

"...You will be completely crushed by your attitude at this moment."

After saying these harsh words, Kaiba left with a sullen look on his face.

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon..."

Standing behind Yami Yugi in the form of a ghost, Oya Yugi blinked in confusion.

"Reclaim... Kaiba's expression of reluctance, could it be because his Blue-Eyes White Dragon was taken away in a duel?"

But this speculation is not reasonable.

What is certain is that Seto Kaiba still has an "Obelisk's Giant God Soldier" in his hand.

Normally, it should be the God Card that was taken away, not the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

Because no one would take a card that has nothing to do with their deck and whose value is not as good as the God Card in some sense.

"Another me...should we ask them?"

"Do not."

As a duelist, Yami Yugi certainly knew how important the time before a duel was.

You must be prepared to deal with all situations, this is not a time to be interrupted.

This curiosity can be resolved later.

"We should also go organize our decks."

"I am back!"

Somewhere in the arranged room, the space suddenly fluctuated.
