Want to play cards? I have a great deck!

You Xi quickly understood what was going on.

The body was burned to charcoal, but the soul was sealed in the heart? But even if the soul was preserved, where can it go without the body?

"--Yu Xijun!"

An urgent shout brought You Xi's attention back to reality, and he finally came to his senses. With the end of the duel, the surrounding space had already returned to normal.

In the long and narrow corridor, lights shone down from the ceiling, and there was no longer the scary atmosphere from horror movies.

Just as Youxi looked up, he saw a blonde girl running towards him from the other side of the corridor.

"Ms. Xingye... huh?"

Then before he could finish his words, his faces were grabbed on both sides.

"Are you okay, You Xijun? Are you hurt anywhere?!"

Xing Yewu held You Xi's face in her white hands, her clear green eyes full of concern and worry.

She asked about You Xi's safety while looking around at his face. She finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that You Xi was safe and sound. "Huh... Fortunately, it seems nothing serious has happened."

"It's true that I'm fine, but why are you here, Miss Xingye?"

After freeing his face from the girl's clutches, You Xi looked a little embarrassed and confused.

The entire duel would not last more than thirty minutes, so even if Xing Yewu noticed something was wrong, it would be too fast.

"It's because of Officer Ushio."

Someone answered You Xi's question.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Xing Yewu was not the only one who came. The three-member team from Morning Light Duel Academy led by Akabane Ryo also came here.

They didn't come closer, but stood a little further away. Akabane Ryo spoke on their behalf, "Shortly after you went to the bathroom, Officer Ushio called and said that your life might be in danger. So we came to find you immediately. But we were blocked by the Dark Duel barrier, and the call couldn't go through. We arrived just now. But it seems that our help is not needed."

"Hahaha! You're amazing, Youxi! You're worthy of being my lifelong friend. You even managed to deal with the Dark Duelist this time. I knew you would be no problem."

Chunhu crossed his arms and laughed, his laughter was full of joy for Youxi's victory again.

He looked down at the charred corpse on the ground and said with emotion: "I don't know who this dark duelist is. It's really unlucky to run into You Xi."

“…No, I think it’s easy to guess who this person is.”

Feiyu, who was standing at the end, put his hands in his trouser pockets and glanced at the cards scattered on the floor that had luckily not been burned to ashes due to fireproofing. His eyes were focused on a certain card.

That card is "Mecha Colonel".

There are only a handful of people in the entire city who are qualified to own it.

"Tsk!"

Feiyu smacked his tongue hard, and his expression suddenly became very ugly.

"Captain, I'm afraid we're going to be in big trouble next."

"trouble…?"

Noticing Feiyu's solemn expression, Akabane Ryo's heart moved, and he realized a possibility that he was extremely reluctant to admit.

"Could it be that!?"

Akabane Ryo turned his head sharply and looked towards Youxi.

"Yuxi, could the dark duelist you're fighting be..."

"Yeah, it's pretty much what you thought, Akabane-senpai. My opponent is exactly that person."

You Xi nodded and raised his hand. The seal card in his hand verified the speculation of Akabane Ryo and others.

Akabane Ryo's brows suddenly furrowed deeply.

"That idiot, what kind of stupid thing did he do..."

Now, things have indeed become troublesome in every sense of the word.

Volume 80: Chapter 4 This is a hidden effect (6k)

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The silver moonlight sprinkled down, mixing with the lights from the streets and city walls, making the entire city even more dazzling and gorgeous.

However, in this bustling city, there are still some places where even light can hardly enter, and in such places, some terrible things hidden beneath the prosperity often happen.

For example, this deserted square.

Neither the moon nor the stars nor the lights of the city could shine in. Thick darkness covered a large area like fog. For ordinary people, staying in such a place would only cause various physical discomforts, and the longer they stayed, the more painful it would be.

However, the two people at the center of the darkness acted as if nothing had happened, and there was nothing unusual... Well, strictly speaking, it can't be said that there was nothing unusual.

No matter it was the white-haired girl or the man with glasses who pretended to be calm, they were all covered in dust and injuries, and their aura was not as strong as it was at the beginning.

The battlefield between the two is also dominated by their respective ace monsters.

The Red Lotus Dragon confronted the mechanical giant that came out of the steam civilization. The roars and the sounds of gears running rang out, and this dark duel was almost coming to an end.

"Since you have been able to survive the onslaught of my "Ancient Machines" until now, you are truly worthy of the title of the Public Security Bureau's ace. But that's all, Izayoi-san."

Keno adjusted his glasses and smiled at the white-haired girl, "My Ancient Mechanical Chaos Titan is not affected by the effects of Magic and Trap Cards. With the Continuous Trap Ancient Mechanical Competition, Ancient Mechanical Ultra Titan will not be affected by the effects of the monsters you activate. And when Ultra Titan is destroyed, it can revive the Ancient Mechanical Titan in the graveyard just like the last words of Ancient Mechanical Super Titan."

"Among my trump cards, even the weakest 'Ancient Mechanical Giant' has an attack power of 3000 points. Your 'Crimson Dragon' cannot defeat me. How about giving up? If you surrender, I can guarantee that you will suffer less."

“…Maybe that’s the case.”

Izayoi Yuki did not refute what Kno said. The facts were before her eyes, and she would not deny it. Unless she could evolve the "Red Lotus Dragon" as Yuki said, it would be a very difficult task.

"But, I have something I want to ask you. Just think of it as satisfying the doubts of a dying person."

Staring at her enemy with red eyes, Izayoi asked: "Teacher Kno, who is the person who gave you the power? Is that person... related to [Doomsday Clock]?"

"【Doomsday Clock】...I see, your target is this organization. It seems that the rumor about Izayoi is true."

Kno suddenly realized.

[Doomsday Clock] is a dark duelist organization that has become quite rampant in recent years. The organization's beliefs can be gleaned from its name.

Over the years, the people of [Doomsday Clock] have caused many tragedies. It is said that the special duel guard Izayoi Yosei five years ago became what he is now because of the people of [Doomsday Clock].

In order to avoid further hype for Doomsday Clock, the Public Security Bureau officials did not say who the culprit was, only vaguely revealing that it was a dark duelist. Now it seems that the answer is obvious.

"I'm sorry, but I really want to tell you the answer, Izayoi-san."

Keno said: "But the deal between me and that person only covers the part of becoming a dark duelist and a soul. I don't know more than that. After all, knowing too much will not do me any good."

"Then you should know how to find that person."

Izayoi Yuki was not discouraged and asked the next question.

"Don't tell me you don't know, Mr. Kno. If you didn't know, how could you have made Satomi Shoya a Dark Duelist? That idiot doesn't have that ability."

"I just gave him a chance. It's up to him whether he can seize it or not."

Keno said: "I do know how to find someone, but I don't think it's necessary to tell a dead person. Is this all your last words, Izayoi-san? Don't you want to leave a message for your parents and Yuki-san?"

"That's not necessary. I'll go talk to them myself if I have anything to say. Since you don't want to talk, it seems I can only use force to force you to speak. It's my turn, draw a card!"

Izayoi Yuki said this in a cold voice, put two fingers together, and pulled out a card from the top of her deck.

"Haven't you given up hope yet? But I should have said that with your "Red Lotus Dragon"..."

Before Keno could finish his words, he saw the two trump cards on his field suddenly turned into countless points of light and dissipated. His pupils suddenly contracted: "What...!"

"Indeed, whether it is "Chaos Titan" or "Ultimate Titan", it is difficult for me to force a direct attack. But on the other hand, if I do this, I can easily break through it - I will release the two monsters on your field and special summon "Lava Golem" on your field!"

"Lava Demon, Level 8 / Fire / Fire" "ATK: 3000 / DEF: 2500"

The scorching magma spurted out from the ground at high speed, turning into a giant more than ten meters tall. An iron cage locked Kno inside, and the magma dripping at his feet emitted wisps of white steam.

"It's actually 'Lava Demon'? How come you have such a card...!?" Kno said in shock.

In the duel data collected in the past, Izayoi Yuki has never used a monster like this.

"Don't you know? After defeating some special duel criminals, duel guards like us can choose some cards from the duel criminals' deck as our own rewards. "Lava Golem" is such a card. But I have never used this card in front of others."

As soon as the "Lava Demon" appeared, the situation was reversed in an instant.

Before, Kno could rely on the resistant Ancient Giant Fusion Monster to suppress Izayoi Yuki, but now that he has lost these supports, the strength of the situation has changed.

"That Continuous Trap allows you to use the monsters on the field or in the graveyard as materials to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster with the words "Ancient Mechanical Giant" in mind. But whether it's the Cyber ​​Flow Dojo, the Gu Juji School, or any other series of inherited schools, except for some special ones, you can generally only have one set of Extra Monsters."

Izayoi Yuki stared at the caged Kno with a cold and sharp gaze, and said: "In the previous duel, you have already summoned all the Fusion Monsters. You can no longer use the effect of this Trap Card."

"Tsk, so that's why you waited until now to use this card?"

Keno saw clearly that Izayoi Yuki's "Lava Demon" was not drawn this round, but should have been obtained several rounds ago. It's a pity that she could endure until now.

"But are you mistaken, Izayoi-san? 'Ancient Machine' is different from 'Cyber ​​Dragon'. Not having an extra monster does not affect the combat effectiveness too much. I still have many high-level monsters in my main deck that I can use."

In fact, as one of the pillars of the Mecha-type, "Ancient Mecha" is as violent and powerful as the Cyber-Flow Dojo. If it weren't for the fact that "Cyber ​​Dragon" has a card that naturally restrains all Mecha-type decks, there would be no definitive answer as to who the symbol and king of the Mecha-type is.

The loss of the "Chaos Titan" and the "Ultimate Titan" hurt Kno a little, but it was not to the extent of serious injury.

"I know, so I won't drag it out any longer. The Duel ends this turn. I can't Normal Summon the turn "Malva Golem" is Special Summoned, but the effect of "Growing Bulb" in the Graveyard is activated, and I send the top card of my deck to the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card."

[Growing Bulb, Level 1/Earth/Plant/Adjustment] [ATK: 100/DEF: 100]

A ray of light appeared from Izayoi Yuki's grave.

The ground cracked, and the seeds that received nutrients took root and sprouted in the shortest time possible, with a purple eye growing out of the rhizome.

"Then activate the effect of the Spell Card: "Rose Bell of Apocalypse", banish this card from the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 Plant-Type monster with 2400 ATK or more from your hand - Come on, "Giant Plant"!"

"Giant Plant, Level 6 / Earth / Plant / Double" "ATK: 2400 / DEF: 1200"

Huge vines emerged from the ground, and a plant monster that looked like a carnivorous plant appeared in front of the two.

This monster has a very special dual attribute, and can be easily looped infinitely with certain cards. But now all the girl needs is its level.

"Use a 1-star "Bulb" to level up a 6-star "Giant Plant."

1★+6★=7★!

"Cold flames surround everything in the world, and dark flowers bloom! Synchro Summon! Come out, "Black Rose Dragon"!"

"Black Rose Dragon, Level 7 / Fire / Dragon / Synchro" "ATK: 2400 / DEF: 1800"

The synchronized light shone, and under the guidance of Izayoi Yuki's Feel, rose petals fell colorfully, and a gorgeous dragon covered with rose scales appeared with a roar.

"Black Rose Dragon..."

Kno adjusted his glasses, confusion flashing in his eyes.

"It's not right to summon it at this time, Izayoi-san. The Black Rose Dragon is indeed a very powerful Synchro Monster, but if you want to activate its effect, it will involve all your own monsters. Are you going to give up the Crimson Dragon?"

"Don't give up, because [Black Rose Dragon] has a hidden second effect."

"Once per turn, you can banish 1 Plant-Type monster from your Graveyard, and then target 1 Defense Position monster on your opponent's field. That opponent's Defense Position monster changes to face-up Attack Position, and its ATK becomes 1 until the end of this turn."

Although it is often overlooked, "Black Rose Dragon" is indeed a trump card with frontal combat capabilities, and it is not just used as a big bomb. Now that "Moonlight Dragon Black Rose" has been used, this card is the best way to break through.

"I banish "Growing Scales" from the Graveyard, turn "Lava Golem" to Attack Position, and reduce its Attack Power to 0!"

"What!?"

Keno's face changed drastically when he heard that, but the "Black Rose Dragon" had already bitten the food that the girl had brought to its mouth.

It gained strength from it and raised its wings, controlling the vines to bind the body of the "Lava God", and controlled the "Lava God" to change its posture before being burned away by the hot magma. Now it can already learn to release a terrifying "Jionouchi Flame" like in the animation.

But that is only if it has the ability to attack.

"Lava Demon, ATK: 3000 → 0"

"Oops!"

Seeing this scene, Kno suddenly felt that something was wrong, and before he could think of a way to change the situation, Izayoi Yuki rushed into the battle without hesitation.

"That's it, the Black Rose Dragon and the Crimson Lotus Dragon attack, Crimson Lotus Flame! !"

Two roars of giant dragons resounded through the sky at the same time, and red flames burst out from their bodies, interweaving into a huge wave that pounced on the "Lava Demon".

The "Lava Demon" is a monster made of magma, but it is not immune to fire attacks. To be more precise, the fire is a catalyst that detonates the magma all over the "Lava Demon" in one go.

Dazzling flames burst out and shot up into the sky.
