The card player needs to win easily

"I have a feeling..."

Siren also looked at the shaking lottery machine with a strange expression.

"And the duelist he faced was—"

"Hehehehe..."

Dark Malik licked his lips.

A numbered sphere landed on the carrier plate.

It was a plastic ball with all of Malik's numbers written on it.

"Wait... no way!"

"It seems the first... oh, should I say, the second sacrifice of darkness has appeared."

An Malik made an extremely distorted expression and looked at Jonouchi.

A chilling feeling swept down the latter's spine.

(Something is staring at me...)

His intuition was warning him - the same fear a human would feel when encountering a poisonous cobra in the rainforest at night.

"Within the city..."

However, his companions were looking at him worriedly.

(Malik...!)

Courage replaced fear, allowing him to face the madman holding the thousand-year-old staff.

"Whatever you're up to, I'm going to beat you to pieces!"

"Hello, Pharaoh."

Ignoring Jonouchi's self-praise, Yami Malik looked at Yami Yugi, who had already switched personalities.

"As long as we can completely defeat this guy... you should feel an unforgettable pain, right?!"

"Jounouchi will not lose to a despicable fellow like you!"

Xingzi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she stepped forward and stood in front of An Malik.

(roar?)

Yamalik gave a curious expression.

He seemed to sense a familiar soul aura from the girl in front of him.

"There's actually such a back-up plan... Hehehe."

"What a disgusting smile..."

The Siren shook her head in disgust.

Those who didn't know would think that An Malik was going to do something unspeakable to the innocent girl.

At this time, the referee Isono, who was standing on the side, looked at his watch and confirmed the time.

So he walked towards the crowd and announced loudly.

"The time has come—duelists, please proceed to the Sky Arena!"

PS: The Earth Angel and the Chaos Dragon are similar... But can Pearl Tear still race now?

PS2: Double Tap, take me away, Double Tap! How can I live without you? How can I play PK?

PS3: I know PK is still playable, but I only play PK to become a gun master...

PS4: What's with Gilsu being on level ? Yeah!

Duel City Part 1: Chapter 71: Provocation

"Jounouchi Katsuya...right?"

Dark Malik stood on the platform, smiling happily.

"Since you know my name, then remember it well! Because this is the name of the person who defeated you!"

"Hehehe...I won't write it down."

He casually took out the black robe that was standard issue to members of the Gurus Group and wrapped it around himself as a cloak.

"After all... countless people have been swallowed by darkness!"

"I repeat, this guy is disgusting."

Siren looked at An Malik on the stage with great displeasure as he made eyes at Jonouchi.

"If I had the chance, I would have killed him with one punch."

"Attention, both players!"

Referee Isono announced loudly.

"This duel begins now!"

"My turn!"

"Great! Jonouchi gets the first strike!"

Both the obverse and dark consciousness breathed a sigh of relief.

For the Jonouchi deck, getting the first strike is a big step closer to victory.

"I activate the quick-play spell "Divine Monument's Edge" from my hand! I add a "Divine Monument" card from my deck to my hand, and banish the top card of your Kazu!"

"Divine Monument? Hehehe..."

A black mist emerged from behind him.

"You and I are truly compatible... just wait to die in endless agony!"

Amidst Dark Malik's wild laughter, the Dark Game was automatically started.

With a gloomy look on his face, he picked up a card from the top of the deck.

"Face of the Dead"

"I added 'Fountain of the Divine Monument' to my hand—wait, what card did you banish?!"

The city was shocked.

"This is all thanks to you! Jonouchi!"

"Activate the effect of 'Faces of the Dead'! When this card is banished, it always activates. Banish five cards from both decks!"

Showing his disdain for Jonouchi, An Malik casually grabbed five cards.

"My deck is a 60-card deck! If you like to exclude cards so much, I'll help you exclude them!"

"Hey--"

The top five cards of Jonouchi's deck flew out.

He got angry all of a sudden.

During the days of playing "Divine Monument", he was always the only one who excluded others. The idea of others excluding him disappeared long ago when "Fenrir Wolf of the Kushagha Wrathful Clan" was banned.

"Malik, you—"

"Don't be in a hurry."

Yamalik lowered his head.

Cold laughter continued to occur on the field.

"Of course, the effect of 'Faces of the Dead' doesn't only happen once per round."

"I activate the effect of the second "Death's Face"! Then I chain-activate the effect of "Shiranui's Hermit" to Special Summon "Shiranui's Priest"!"

From both players' decks, five cards are again excluded.

However, Jonouchi's expression grew increasingly rigid, while Yamalik's was the complete opposite.

(Oh no, "Divine Monument's Edge" and "Divine Monument's Deception" are banished──)

Not only that, other main cards also suffered varying degrees of damage.

"Unfortunately, the result of this exclusion is only one "Computer Sakai-Empress"."

"Activate the effect of 'Cyber Sakai-Empress'! If this card is banished, select a card from your banished zone and return it to your deck!"

Taking out a card from the banished ones, Dark Malik showed a hint of regret and put it back into the deck.

"Face of the Dead, do you want to recycle this card..."

Not only the number of cards in Dark Malik's deck, but also the cards related to exclusion hidden in his deck made Jonouchi feel troubled.

"I activate the field magic "Fountain of the Divine Monument"!"

"Then, target "Shiranui no Miyabi" on your field and activate the effect of "Monument of Radiant Flame" to destroy that card! Then banish the top two cards of your deck!"

Dark Malik didn't say anything - after all, he actually wanted Jonouchi to banish his deck.

"Activate the effect of "Fountain of the Divine Monument", return two cards from the Graveyard to the Deck, and draw two cards from the Deck!"

"Face a card and my turn ends!"

"Hehehe...my turn!"

Looking at the drawn card, Yamalik's voice became more malicious.

"I activate the normal spell "Neighbor Mowing" from my hand!"

"Chain activation of 'Golden Shizuku's Divine Monument'! You draw a card, then banish the top four cards from your deck!"

After this round of effects, Malik's deck has thirty-seven cards.

And there are twenty-five in the city.

Therefore, a full twelve cards will be sent to Dark Malik's graveyard.

"I actually drew this card—but, even though I have a God card in my deck, why would I use this deck?"

Jonouchi watched with some confusion as Yami Malik tossed the seventeen cards into the graveyard.

("Winged Dragon of the Sun God" is already in the Graveyard... Humph, we don't even need a God Card for this Duel!)

"Chain 1, the effect of 'Ancient Guard Akito'! Send the top five cards of both decks to the graveyard!"

"Chain two, the effect of 'Ancient Vanguard Kyle Burke'! Both players send five cards to the graveyard again!"

"Chain three, the effect of "Entertainment Wizard Trickster" allows me to Special Summon this card and take 1,000 points of effect damage!"

"...Then I'll follow up with a Chain Four, activating the effect of "Destroyed Monument" to Special Summon "Monumental Gagli" from the Extra Zone!"

"Then, chain five to activate [Growth G]! Every time you Special Summon, I draw a card from my deck!"

Jonouchi hurriedly connected the hands to the pit - the arrow was now on the string and had to be fired!

A series of effects were activated, and Jonouchi's deck was reduced to eleven cards - one of which he had drawn himself.

Dark Malik LP: 8000-7000

"The effect of 'Fountain of the Divine Monument'... Hey, this is already deck-destroying, right?"

Jonouchi, sweating profusely, watched as another round of graveyard accumulation caused the thickness of the deck to suddenly decrease.

Facing this kind of deck that has effects when banished and also has a graveyard, "Divine Monument" has no effect on him in the short term.

(But, my backfield should be able to hold on to this round... a few more draws should be fine.)

"Tsk, 'Ancient Vanguard Kyle Burke' and 'Ancient Guard Agito'... it's a miracle this bastard didn't eliminate them!"

Siren was unhappy in the audience.

"Oh, relax, at least you can still use it now, even though it won't work soon."

It's so hard to see Siren's mentality explode, and even Liwa feels it's a pity if she doesn't become her bad friend.

"How about you try Orcust too? Look, it can trigger effects when you're stacking your graveyard, and it allows you to move on your opponent's turn. I'm also a Pearl Tearful Lamenter!"
