Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

An old school building deep in the woods.

Asuka came here through the portal, looked at the sign that read "keep out" dropped at the door, and without any hesitation, she took a decisive step and went to the basement of the old school building.

She had a premonition in her heart.

The memories that his brother had lost, as well as his past regrets, might all be answered clearly at this moment...

"Here we are, Asuka Tenjouin..."

Standing quietly in the basement, or at the end of the underground space, looking at the blonde girl who rushed here, the masked male Titan in black clothes showed a frivolous and teasing smile on his face.

What he was wearing on his face at this moment was not the ordinary iron mask of the past, but a black and gold mask representing a new identity.

The Egyptian-style eye pattern engraved on the mask clearly represents his identity as the Dark Duelist and the King of the Seven Stars!

398 Dark Bullring

Although I don’t know what this guy Titan experienced in that world full of evil spirits.

But when he returned again, he had obviously become a minion of the mastermind behind this incident, transforming from a swindler disguised as a dark duelist to a true dark duelist!

The thousand-year-old building blocks in his hands in the past were false hypnosis tools. Even if his body disappeared due to the reduction of health points, it was only a temporary illusion.

But the current situation is obviously different from that time.

To duel with him now, you must bet your soul!

"As agreed, I came here..."

Asuka, who was standing far away on the other side, looked at the man in front of her with a frivolous smile and said with a frown: "Next, please abide by the agreement and tell me that my brother has lost his memory!"

"Hehehehe... I think you should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch... It's better to say that free things are the most expensive!"

Raising the duel disk in his hand, Titan licked his lips, smiled sinisterly and said, "If you want me to tell you something, come and duel with me!"

"If you win the duel, you will be able to regain your brother's sealed memories."

"...Only victory can bring back memories? What if I lose?" Asuka shrank her body to avoid Titan's malicious gaze and asked tentatively.

"If you lose and I win... then I will drag the key to the Seven Star Gate, along with you, into the dark world!"

There was a greedy gleam in Titan's eyes, and he clenched his outstretched right hand into a claw shape, with an expression of unconcealable desire on his face.

He looked up and down at Asuka's curvy body with a look that showed he understood.

"Could it be... are you planning to...?" Asuka shrank back in fear, a look of disgust on her face.

Clenching his right paw tightly, Titan nodded in agreement: "Right! I want..."

"...You are coveting my body, right? You perverted old pervert, I will never let you succeed, just give up on this idea. I'm sorry, I strongly reject you both psychologically and physically!"

"...turn you into a Dark Duelist as well."

Asuka: “…”

Titan: "..."

I kidnapped you just to play cards...

He looked me up and down, but he was just observing me and didn't have the qualifications of a duelist...

how to say……

Titan's thinking is quite consistent with the style of this card-playing world.

Even at this time, his mind did not produce any yellow waste, but was still thinking about the duel...

In a sense, he is also quite weird.

"What a mess...what are you thinking about?"

A row of black lines appeared on his forehead. The Titan of Titans was shocked by Asuka's words and subconsciously wiped the sweat from his head: "Don't talk about these nonsense, let's start the duel!"

After saying this, Titan threw the extra duel disk in his hand in front of Asuka, and then unfolded his own devil-style duel disk: "...Be prepared!"

"Hmm..." Asuka's face was slightly red. She had just revealed her true thoughts in one breath. She looked a little embarrassed at the moment. She picked up the duel disk from the ground without saying a word, and put it on her left arm.

At this time, multiple footsteps were heard at the entrance to the basement.

"It's Asuka! And that guy is... Titan! He actually came back!"

"Ah... the duel has already begun! We are a step too late..."

"Asuka! That guy might be a Dark Duelist! Don't duel with him!"

The people who happened to arrive here couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw the two people confronting each other from a distance.

Looking at the Titan standing at the end of the field of vision, wrapped in black fog, everyone couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts.

This guy seems to be getting stronger than before...

"Titan's purpose... is to duel with Tenjouin? So he's not here to ask me for the hire money?" Professor Chronos blinked and had a relieved expression on his face.

Oh my god, it turns out I misunderstood just now!

"…What are you talking about? Professor Chronos? What kind of reward?"

"Nothing, nothing...Rather than this, we should focus more on the situation on the field!"

Faced with the curious glances from others, Professor Chronos hurriedly waved his hands, indicating that what he had just said was just a slip of the tongue and there was no need to pay too much attention.

Rather than focusing on this insignificant matter of mine, we should focus more on the duel between the two.

……

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of Yusei, Yuki Judai, Caesar, Tenjouin Fubuki who was helped over, as well as Marufuji Sho, Maeda Hayato, Professor Chronos and others, the battle for Asuka and the Titans to regain their memories officially began!

"Duel!"

“…Duel!”

(Tony Titan LP: 4000)

(Tenjoin Asuka LP: 4000)

"Brother... I want to get my brother's memory back, so I must not lose this duel!" With firm determination in her eyes and clenching her right palm, Asuka seemed to be planning to use all her strength in this duel.

“Hehehehe… That’s right, it’s this determined look that makes me unable to stop!”

"When I defeat you, I will probably feel even more joyful when I feel the sweet taste of victory~!"

Laughing wildly, Titan waved his arms and drew a card from his deck: "I'll attack first, draw a card!"

"I Normal Summon [Demon Knight] (ATK 1600) from my hand, and then Ambush a card..."

Although it's boasted a lot, Titan's operation is actually quite standard.

A monster card, coupled with a cover card, is a very standard first-hand start and end.

"End of round...did you think I would say that?"

As the subject changed, a mocking smile appeared on Titan's face.

"What...?" Asuka frowned and waited quietly for Titan's next move.

"Next, let me take you into the dark world as well... and let you experience the same pain as your brother!"

With a twisted mouth, Titan stretched out his arm again and started the second round: "Next, I will activate the Ritual Magic Card - [Ritual of the Matador's Advent - Dark Passage] from my hand!"

"…It's actually ritual magic?"

"Didn't Titan use the [Demon] deck before?"

The crowd watching, looking at this new magic card that had never appeared before, couldn't help but raise doubts and questions.

Deliberately using a troublesome ritual to summon... the Titan obviously has his own purpose.

"Heh! Please wait for it... I will release the 6-star [Devil Summon] in my hand as a ritual sacrifice and perform a ritual summon!"

After sending the sacrificed monster to the graveyard, Titan slammed another card onto the deck of the duel disk: "Come on! [Devil Matador] (Warrior/Dark/6*/Attack 0/Defense 0)!"

A red cocoon appeared in front of Titan.

As the ritual magic was successfully activated, the meat cocoon changed and turned into a green-skinned demon with flesh wings.

The red fleshy wings hanging between the outstretched arms are like a bullfighter's cape, full of irony.

"It's actually... a monster with both attack and defense of 0?"

"What on earth is this guy Titan planning?"

Everyone was puzzled by Titan's confusing behavior, but Youxing, who was touching his chin, showed a look of sudden realization.

Attack 0... and it's a high-level monster summoned through a ritual.

So of course, this can only be Titan's new trump card monster, which must have an extremely powerful effect.

Otherwise, Titan wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to summon it.

"What happened before was just a warm-up. From now on... it will be the real dark duel!"

He waved his finger in the direction of Asuka, and then placed the last card in his hand on the field area of ​​the duel disk: "My dark item! Wake up here now and give me strength!"

"...Venue magic——[Dark Bullfighting Arena] activated!"

The mask on Titan's face emitted a golden light as he finished speaking.

After Titan placed the Field Magic Card into the Duel Disk and activated it, a dark area that blocked his vision quickly spread out with him as the center, and then enveloped all the monsters on Titan's field, along with almost the entire field.

"No trace of the enemy..."

The dark venue obscured Asuka's vision.

All I see is darkness and chaotic nothingness.

The [Demon Matador], [Demon Knight], and Titan himself, who had been clearly visible at a glance before, were now obscured by darkness, and their specific appearances could not be seen.

"End of round... hehehehehe!"

As Titan watched the underground space being engulfed by the darkness he had created, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

There are two monsters protected by the field in the front field, and there is also a trap card in the back field that prevents direct attacks - [Death Counter]. Now he can't imagine the possibility of losing!

-

【Death Counterattack】

(Continuous Trap Card)

Effect: Monsters that make direct attacks and cause damage to the player will be destroyed.

-

"…What exactly is this darkness?"

"What happened in here?"

"…What is it? I can't see anything?"

Similar to Asuka's feeling, the crowd watching at the high platform at the entrance could only see patches of darkness and were unable to see the specific situation in the depths of the darkness.

The status of the two people, as well as the situation on the field, were all obscured by this darkness.

"Yuxing...you've fought with that guy, right? Did he use a trick like this last time?" Wanzhangmu, with a frown on his face, asked the silent Yuxing.

In the last exploration of the old school building, only the four members of Osiris Red and Asuka Tenjouin participated, and his Manjomu was not there.

It would be better to say that he was still in a "superior" status at that time and simply disdained to participate in such vulgar activities.

"No, the Titan from last time was just a charlatan with nothing on his body. Even though he was swallowed by an evil spirit, he never emitted such a strange power..."

Touching his chin, recalling the experience before the darkness appeared, Youxing gave his own guess: "I think this new power must be brought by the mask on his face, that new dark item?"

"...Dark props? Dark props again!"

Hearing this familiar word, Wanzhangmu, whose expression had improved slightly, gritted his teeth unwillingly: "Damn it! These guys from Qixing always use these weird things... Can't they just have a fair duel?"

"If I do it honestly, then I'm not a dark duelist!" Youxing shrugged his shoulders and looked at the disc on his chest without commenting on Manzhangmu's complaint.

……

Meanwhile, in the depths of darkness.
