Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

Attacking first or later, it doesn't make much difference to him now.

What's more, Yusei's opponent is not the Duel King Yugi Muto himself, but Kagurazaka who is using his deck, a pitiful man whose soul has been eroded by Duel Monsters and who has brought himself to his own death.

Facing such a duelist, even if he had a terrifying existence like [Super Magic Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] in his hands, there was no reason for him to lose.

At this moment when he was most proud, in the duel field where he was most proficient... he defeated him in one fell swoop!

Kill the heart, cut off the mind, destroy the soul...

Let it fall into the endless abyss...

This is what Youxing plans to do.

……

"Then... I choose to attack first!" With a twisted mouth, Kagurazaka immediately drew a card from the deck: "My turn, draw a card!"

(Kagurazaka's hand: 5→6)

"Hehehe... Let me show you the infinite possibilities contained in this deck!"

Kagurazaka said this, and pulled out a card from his hand, showing it to Yusei on the opposite side: "From my deck, send a Level 6 or higher Magician-Type monster to the Graveyard, and I activate the effect of the monster card in my hand - [Magician Twin Soul] (Magician-Type/Dark/1 Level/Attack 0/Defense 0)!"

"Send this card to the Graveyard, or Special Summon this card from your hand."

“A magician monster above 6 stars…?” Youxing raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. The one I chose to send to the cemetery is the 7-star magician monster - [Black Magician]!"

A card in the deck was automatically popped out, and Kagurazaka, who had drawn this card, sent it to the graveyard, and then sent the [Magician's Twin Souls] that he had previously held to the graveyard.

"Kagurazaka...what on earth does that guy want to do?"

Seeing that Kagurazaka's operations were different from those in the previous duel, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but show a puzzled expression on his face.

Endless possibilities?

Could it be that this is another new combination?

"Activate the follow-up effect of [Magician's Twin Souls]! When this card is sent to the Graveyard by your own effect, I can select 1 "Black Magician" or "Black Magician Girl" from my Graveyard and Special Summon it."

Marufuji Sho: "Nani...?!"

“In other words…” Kagurazaka shook his fingers and continued with a distorted expression: “Through the effect of [Magician’s Twin Souls], I have directly Special Summoned a [Black Magician] from the deck!”

"Come out! The most superior magician, the king's most loyal servant!"

"Special Summon——[Black Magician]!"

As Kagurazaka finished his words, a black and gold circular magic circle unfolded in front of him.

Among them, the black magician Mahad, wearing a purple robe and holding a pale blue magic wand, showed himself again.

"Attack power 2500... Is that the exclusive attack power of the protagonist monster?"

Looking at the black magician Mahad who was staring at him quietly, Youxing couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"..."

After reappearing on the duel field in a short time, Mahad's expression became somewhat subtle.

Just as he sighed slightly because of disappointment, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

Somehow, the black magician Mahad seemed to sense a strange yet familiar breath.

It was not the blue-eyed girl who was his nemesis, but another existence that could rival his ultimate form, the Super Magic Dragon Knight...

"One... no! Two unyielding wills...?!"

Mahad, with a surprised look on his face, started speaking in human language right on the duel field.

This voice was different from the voice transmitted by Chestnut Ball. Everyone present could hear his voice clearly.

Seeing this scene, not only the people present, but even Kagurazaka, the controller, were stunned.

What exactly is going on?

Why do Duel Monsters have their own will?

"Dark magician...you..."

"...!"

Kagurazaka was about to say something else when he suddenly noticed the black magician's side glance towards him.

Kagurazaka, who was caught in the afterglow, was like a sheep being stared at by a lion, unable to put up any resistance...

"...Is it the same place as before? But this time...there are a few more people..."

After threatening Kagurazaka and glancing at the surrounding scenery, Mahad finally fixed his gaze on Yuki Judai and Yusei.

The jellyfish-headed boy behind him has a similar aura to Kaiba Seto. One day in the future, he may very likely embark on a path of dominance without hesitation...

But! Another talent that is even stronger than that one appeared in the other boy who was his opponent.

"Young man...what path have you chosen?"

Mahad stared at the direction of the wandering star, unable to discern its path, and couldn't help but ask himself questions.

Different from the kingly way of Pharaoh (Yugi Muto), and different from the tyranny of Sett (Seto Kaiba)...

What I felt from this young man was another, completely different path...

"My path..."

Hearing Mahad's question, Yusei fell into a state of thought.

It seems that if I don't answer, the duel can't go on...

The path of life, right?

That is to say, what you plan to do in the future and the direction of your efforts, right?

So……

"Harem? ... No no no!!! You can't just say this directly..."

"Bully? That's the business of the Bully... What does it have to do with me? And my other self also said at the time that there's no need for me to follow the same path as him..."

"The kingly way? This is the kingly way, right? He was the Pharaoh of Egypt in his previous life... No problem! Forget my words!"

……

"Emm..." Scratching his head, Yuxing finally gave his answer hesitantly under Mahad's gaze: "My path... is 'my way'!"

You can do whatever you want and hang out with whomever you want.

A man who does whatever he wants, without any constraints, and as free as the wind.

This is the path that I, You, have chosen!

"I... said..."

After repeating Yusei's words, Mahad's face gradually showed a hint of smile: "I say...I say? To open up your own future path...to decide your own future, to break the fate, and not be bound by anyone..."

“…This is the path you chose!”

"Well... almost..."

Scratching the side of his face, Youxing put on a noncommittal attitude.

“Very good…very good!”

Mahad put away his smile and regained his calm expression, saying words of appreciation: "...Young man, I recognize you!"

"You are indeed qualified to be the king's rival!"

"Uh... Well, thank you very much?" Youxing tilted his head uncertainly, and was stunned by the black magician's praise.

By the way...have I been recognized?

……

"Damn it... You've been ignoring me since just now..."

"...I will definitely teach you a lesson!"

As if he had received a satisfactory answer, the black magician withdrew his gaze and began to rest with his eyes closed.

Kagurazaka, who was freed from his restraints, was finally able to speak again.

Casting a look of fear and hatred at the Black Magician in front of him, Kagurazaka immediately placed a card in his hand on the Duel Board: "I Normal Summon [Magician's Staff] (ATK 1600) in Attack Position! Then, I activate its effect and add the Continuous Magic Card [Dark Magic Array] from the deck to my hand!"

The blue shadow of a magician holding a staff appeared in front of Kagurazaka, and along with its appearance, a magic card was added to Kagurazaka's hand.

"Is it coming... a familiar combination..."

Watching Kagurazaka's actions, Yusei couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Next is this card! Activate the Continuous Magic Card [Dark Magic Formation]!"

"As the effect of this card, check 3 cards from the top of your deck. If there is a Spell or Trap Card with "Dark Magician" in its name or a "Dark Magician" among them, you can show that card to your opponent and add it to your hand. Return the remaining cards to the top of your deck in any order you like."

"This posture... is the combination from before..."

The moment he saw the [Magician's Wand], the memory of fear reappeared in Marufuji Sho's mind.

After the [Dark Magic Array] appeared, this memory immediately became a reality.

Continuous Spell Card [Dark Magic Array], Continuous Trap Card [Eternal Soul]...

In the last duel, I was defeated by this combination...

The Red Daddy who appeared later could only be considered to have made a final move.

"Youxing..."

Looking at the silent Yusei, Yujo Judai couldn't help but start thinking: "If it were you, what would you do next?"

Youxing: “…”

"Hehehehe...turn over three cards~~~"

Kagurazaka stretched out three fingers, his expression had turned into a "face art" posture, and he spoke slowly and leisurely: "Three [Eternal Soul]... With Yang Shou's draws, the probability of getting them is no less than one in ten, not to mention that there is also a field magic with a search effect - [Magician's Rescue]..."

"If I can't even draw this, I might as well bang my head against a wall and die!"

282 Hero Arrives

If he can't draw the [Eternal Soul], Kagurazaka is going to bang his head against a wall and die...

"Emm..." Yusei expressed his own opinion on Kagurazaka's somewhat arrogant statement: "Well... don't be so sure... what if I don't win?"

"Humph! If I don't win...I'll eat shit!"

After hitting his head against the wall, Kagurazaka made another oath to himself...

Everyone: "..."

"Humph! Now you have nothing to say!"

With a disdainful snort, Kagurazaka pulled out the top three cards of the deck and spread them out in his hand.

The three cards are:

Fusion Magic Card [Magic of Harmony], Monster Card [Guardian Priest Mana], and Monster Card [Magic Chestnut Ball].

There is no continuous trap card [Eternal Soul]...

There is no Magic or Trap Card with the effect of [Dark Magician]...

"凸(艹皿艹)..."

Looking at the three cards in his hand, Kagurazaka's originally slightly ferocious face suddenly revealed an expression as if he had eaten shit...

The search effect of [Dark Magician] can only search Magic and Trap Cards with the card name of [Dark Magician] written in the effect, or the monster [Dark Magician] itself. It is invalid for monster cards with other card names written on them.

So this time, Kagurazaka was just searching for something lonely...

In other words, if he didn’t draw the card he wanted, he would have to perform a “free food and drink” show for everyone!

"My deck... Why? Why didn't it respond to my call?!"

"…Unforgivable, unforgivable!"
