Dark Duel, as the chairman, I have no choice but to take part in it myself!

"But you and your mistress Sophia will die at the hands of the Dark Duelist."

"I'm saying this out loud now so that you, an idiot, know what the general trend is. Even if I say this out loud, it won't change the general trend in any way."

"Now...how do you feel, how do you feel?!"

Perhaps the long-term "repression" finally found an opportunity to vent, so Pulitzer actually felt a twisted happiness at this moment.

In comparison, what does it matter if he loses the Dark Duel? As long as this kind of happiness can always accompany him, it is acceptable to abandon everything except the dragon.

"..."

With his head half lowered, You Xian turned his gaze back to the arrogant yet pathetic man opposite him.

His expression and temperament began to change, no longer the "gentle" and glorious image he had before.

They quickly became sharp and extremely aggressive, as if a harmless little rabbit had transformed into a tyrannical and terrifying god.

You Xian raised his head slightly and stared at Pritzer who was not far away with his eyes that had become ferocious without him noticing. He spoke word by word as if he was announcing an oracle:

"Then you will die. You will die."

"Not only you, but your family and anyone involved in this will die."

His tone was harsh, but it revealed a kind of firmness that was hard to disobey, as if fate was judging the fate of a person with unforgivable sins.

Seeing that Pritzer wanted to say something else, You Xian added before he could open his mouth:

"I'm not trying to scare you, I'm simply stating the fact."

"Not only that, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame after your death and become an example of eternal despise."

"I can definitely do this, easily."

"..."

You Xian's words were obviously inconsistent with the image he had shown before, but people around him could understand why he would have such extreme thoughts at this time.

After all, anyone who meets this kind of scumbag will not have a good mentality. In this world, there really is someone who delays time in a sacred duel.

It is said that even the most despicable dark duelist would not do such a thing.

At least no one had ever heard of such a thing before.

However, I didn’t expect that Mr. Aleister really had that kind of relationship with Lady Sophia. I have never heard of it before.

This is an interesting gossip.

Unfortunately, if this continues, Lady Sophia may really die, and Mr. Aleister is afraid...

Although for some reason Pritzer did feel an inexplicable fear in Youxian's words, he still snorted coldly and spoke:

"Humph, verbal threats are useless to me. No matter what you say, it will not stop my plan to delay time."

"So what if I don't have any cards to use? Rules are rules, no one can stop them!"

"As for your so-called revenge, do you think you can do it? Don't make me laugh."

Yes, the rules are the rules, and everyone is very clear about that.

However...but when he finished saying this, something very strange suddenly happened, which even made Pritzer scream.

"What? How is this possible!"

Chapter 144: Rope Burning and Hand-O Killing

Perhaps it was because this operation was too outrageous, or perhaps Pritzker violated some taboo.

The dark duel should have been smooth sailing, but an accident happened when he started burning the rope frantically.

His hand suddenly broke.

Perhaps it cannot be described so simply. It would be more accurate to say that his fingers were separated one by one according to the knuckles.

The cut was extremely smooth, as if a pepper had been easily cut open with an extremely sharp cutting knife using terrifying force.

At first, it was just the little finger knuckle of his right hand. After it was quickly "cut open", before Pritzer could even scream in pain, his ring finger also suffered the "dismemberment" treatment.

The two knuckles that lost their support immediately fell to the ground, with blood gushing out.

This scene directly shocked Pritzer. He even subconsciously forgot his own pain in the shock, and shouted as if his worldview had collapsed:

"How is this possible? A dark duel should be impossible to stop!"

"What exactly is this power?"

During the time he was talking, his ring finger had been split into three parts, and the next target was obviously the longest middle finger.

After I reacted, the pain finally hit me like a flood.

“Mmmmmmm ahhhhhhhhhhhh—”

As the saying goes, the fingers are connected to the heart. The pain caused by torture on the fingers is often greater than that on other parts of the body, just like now.

Pritzer, who had lost two fingers, had cold sweat on his forehead. He held his left hand tightly, but this could not stop the blood from flowing out from the two wounds in his palm.

Although it is not fatal at the moment, he will definitely die from excessive bleeding in a short time.

What's more, the wound was definitely not just on the little finger and ring finger. He could already feel the cold edge on his middle finger.

Although there was nothing in front of his eyes, he could clearly feel that his hand was under the 'knife edge'.

It is conceivable that it won’t be long before his left hand will completely lose all the fingers, leaving only a palm.

No, perhaps in the end even his palms would not be able to survive, and everything about him would be cut apart inexplicably, like a fish on a chopping board to be slaughtered at will.

It was unbelievable. Even until now he couldn't believe that he would encounter such a weird thing in a regular dark duel.

If he had only felt disdain for You Xian's threats before, now the situation is completely different.

Today, Pulitzer has obviously felt the threat of death most directly.

It was at this moment that the man opposite him, You Xian, spoke in a cold tone:

"The rules cannot be trampled upon, and the Dark Duel will never end."

"No one can take the other's life before the dark duel is over."

"But this seems to be the exception."

Having said this, You Xian, who was gradually becoming less and less reserved, raised his hand to make a "two" gesture and continued in his cold tone:

"You only have two choices left. The first is to surrender, and then let your family members give you emergency treatment as soon as it's over to save your life temporarily."

"Although you may still die in the end, at least you won't die here, being cut into pieces."

At this point Youxian put away another finger, leaving only the middle finger still raised:

"As for the second option, you can continue to burn the rope with me, but your fingers will be cut off one by one. After your fingers are gone, your feet will be gone, and then your calves, your arms, your body, until you are just a pile of garbage."

"At the end of the day, if Sophia really dies, and really dies because of you, I'm going to have someone cut up your hot dog with giant pliers and stuff the molten contents into your mouth."

"Believe me, I can definitely do this. No one can save you. No one."

It was clearly just a simple verbal threat, but in Pritzer's eyes it was particularly real, as if what You Xian said would happen to him soon.

But even so, Pritzer still spread his hands in disbelief, loudly denying everything that was happening before his eyes:

"This is impossible! Within the limits of the rules, no one can hurt anyone inside the Dark Duel barrier!"

"I just want to know the answer. It doesn't matter how much useless nonsense I say."

As soon as You Xian finished speaking, Pritzer's middle finger and index finger were cut cleanly one by one, and bright red blood gushed out from them like a broken water pipe, staining the corners of Pritzer's clothes, his entire left hand, and even Pritzer's hideous face red.

"Tell me the answer, or the next step is your entire palm."

There was still no smile on You Xian's face, but he didn't seem angry at all, as if he was simply stating a fact that was bound to happen.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That's all."

Pulitzer wanted to say something else, but his palm was once again cut open by a force completely beyond his common sense, leaving only a not-so-standard triangle.

"Then you just wait to die."

You Xian took off his hood and continued speaking in a cold tone.

"With your current bleeding rate, if you try to delay until the end of the mandatory round, you will surely die first from excessive blood loss."

"And if I want, I can move this time forward even further until I turn you into a complete human stick."

"It must be an interesting experience for you to watch yourself die. And this ending is also suitable for Burnt Rope Dog."

In fact, although this is what he said, there is a lot of misleading content in You Xian’s words, and some lies are mixed in.

First of all, he simply couldn't kill his opponent before the dark duel was over.

If he could have done that, he would have done it long ago.

Wouldn't it be better to just walk up to him and strangle that bastard to death with his amazing strength?

Unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve this.

In other words, Yugen was surprised that his family could attack the opponent in a dark duel.

Although the Dark Duel is named "Dark", it is definitely a very fair duel. Its fairness is not only reflected in the fact that both sides cannot cheat. In fact, the "fairness" of the Dark Duel is far more extreme than many people imagine.

In addition to the regular duel rules, the first iron rule of Dark Duel is that you are not allowed to attack your opponent in any way other than direct attacks by monsters within the duel rules.

These include physical attacks, mental attacks, as well as attacks by elven power and other attack methods.

No one can physically attack the opponent in the Dark Duel, and even if these attacks actually touch the opponent, they will all be invalidated.

Of course, if you say something like "If you win I will go to your house and burn it down, because those who bootlick you will not die well" during a duel, it will still not be blocked.

Because it has not yet reached the category of "attack" in the judgment of Dark Duel.

But if a duelist suddenly takes out an NTR booklet of his opponent's wife in the middle of a game of cards and intends to let the other party appreciate it, then this booklet will be blocked because it falls within the scope of mental attack.

In addition, neither party will die or lose the ability to duel before the Dark Duel ends.

To give the most extreme example, if a person's time limit has come during a dark duel, he can still survive in the dark duel and still have the ability to continue the duel, until he dies directly at the moment the duel ends.

These two rules are the two iron laws in dark duels, and basically no one can break them.

But in this duel, when Pritzer made up his mind to burn the rope and had already started burning the rope, You Xian was surprised to find that he was no longer controlled by the first iron rule in this duel.

As long as he wanted and spent enough magic power, the dark duel barrier would even help him deal with the hateful rope-burning dog in front of him.

You Xian didn't know what to say about this. Perhaps it was because the Dark Duel itself hated burning the rope, so the rules themselves allowed him to engage in physical duels, or perhaps it was some other reason that even You Xian himself didn't know.

So, with the cooperation of the Dark Duel Barrier, Youxian, who controlled Shadow's power, easily began to execute Pritzer with those thin but unbreakable purple threads.

Although this might lead to the discovery of his power and leave hidden dangers, You Xian couldn't care less at this time.

Compared to his secret being discovered, it was more important not to regret it for the rest of his life. You Xian felt that he was a free man, and he didn't want to owe anyone a favor, let alone this kind of "favor".

However, even though You Xian had obtained the cooperation of the Dark Duel itself, allowing him to easily execute his opponent, he was still bound by the second law.

Although he could easily dismember Pritzer, he could not kill him or cut off his right hand.

Because the former would take Pritzer's life, while the latter would prevent him from continuing the duel.

And even if there was excessive bleeding, Pritzer would not go into shock or even die.

Pritzer will not lose his ability to duel. Instead, the intense pain will make him more sober, because this is the "absolute fairness" that will appear in a dark duel when facing a burning rope.

Therefore, according to You Xian's idea, he should try his best to force the other party so that Pritzer would have to choose to surrender in order to save his life.

But from now on, this guy is more difficult to deal with than imagined.

One could even say that it was a bit...downward.

This guy's brain must be made of diamond. He hasn't given in even at this point.

Let's get some shocking news. This can't go on any longer. Sophia can't hold on for long. If Sophia loses, at least she must be rescued. Even if it means losing her deck, it's acceptable. At worst, Youxian can go back and find a way to take the deck back from that damn Shining Church.

Thinking of this, Youxian once again extracted his magic power, allowing it to transform into tough but imperceptible purple threads with the "assistance" of the Dark Duel Barrier, and then directly attacked the remaining half of Pritzer's palm.

This once again caused the stubborn dog to roar miserably: “Ahhhhhhh——”

Next, it was his ten toes and his wrists. It wouldn't be long before these things were taken away by Shadow's power.

In extreme pain, not only his face, but even his screams began to distort.

Doubt, confusion, anger, fear, countless different emotions kept passing through his heart. He never thought that he would end up in this situation one day, even when he knew he was going to fail, he had never been so embarrassed.

At that time, he was thinking about how to continue to disgust his opponent, so he chose to burn the rope.
