A duelist never gives up!

"Is it the boy with black hair and black eyes?"

"Yes, it's exactly the same as in the photo. Let's get ready."

"Are we really going to do this? That's the original seven players..."

"Are we two afraid of him alone?"

"But……"

"Shut up! Have you forgotten who we rely on to achieve what we have today? If it weren't for that lord's grace, we would have starved to death on the streets!"

"Well...he went into the park."

"Hmph, perfect! It's dinner time now, and there aren't many people in the park. Let's go!"

Yuan Qi scratched his hair helplessly, turned around and looked at the two men who suddenly appeared, one in red and the other in blue, and said, "Hey, can you guys be a little quieter about your conspiracy? I can hear it from way off."

The two men exchanged glances, nervously glancing at the surrounding woods before sneering, "So what if you heard it? You have nowhere to run now!"

"So? Is there anything wrong?" Yuan Qi looked at the two of them and said.

"Stop talking nonsense and fight!"

As soon as the two men finished speaking, a black mist suddenly spread out and enveloped the three of them.

"Wow, it's been... a long time." Ai looked at the surrounding environment and sneered twice.

"A dark duel?" Yuan Qi looked at the two in surprise. "Are you guys dying?"

"It's still unclear who will live and who will die!" The man in red and the man in blue shouted, "Duel!"

Yuan Qi helplessly searched through his several decks, selected one, inserted it into the duel disk, and said, "No, the result has been decided, that is..."

"I live, you die."

Chapter 15: This is all thanks to you!

"duel."

As Yuan Qi's voice fell, this duel full of unfairness officially began.

1vs2 is not just a matter of fighting against two different decks and duelists at the same time, the more important issue is - the card difference.

If Yuan Qi goes first, he will only have five cards in his hand, while his opponents will each have six cards in their hand if they draw one.

In other words, Yuan Qi must rely on 5 cards to match the opponent's 12 cards.

Of course, if he takes the initiative, Yuan Qi is still confident, but...

"drop."

The man in red looked at his ringing duel disk with a delighted expression: "Looks like I'll have the upper hand!"

"This is troublesome." Ai held her chin and muttered softly. However, when she saw Yuan Qi's hand, her eyes lit up slightly. "You chose this deck, are those cards in it?"

"Of course, I use this deck just in case." Yuan Qi said with lowered eyelids.

"Okay, since they are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!" Ai nodded firmly, expressing his agreement with Yuan Qi's approach.

"What are you mumbling to yourself about? Don't you take me seriously?" The man in red, who had just taken the initiative, felt that his self-esteem was violated by Yuan Qi, and he couldn't help but say angrily.

"No, I don't mean to look down on you. Just go ahead and tell me what I'm talking about," Yuan Qi said. He then turned his head to Ai and asked, "What deck do you think he'll use?"

"I don't know, it shouldn't be very strong. A duelist with a powerful deck won't do something as bad as fighting two against one." Ai said softly.

The man in red watched Yuan Qi mutter to himself again, his black eyes clearly looking elsewhere, his words and actions filled with disregard. So, with his neck flushed, he said, "Very good, very good... Yuan Qi, you're a genius! You've saved the world, and you have the capital to be arrogant, but that doesn't mean you're invincible!"

"Let me, an old senior, teach you how to respect your opponent!"

The man in red suddenly inserted a card into the duel disk and said, "I activate the Field Spell Card - Cursed Eye Threshold - City of Illusion -!"

Accompanied by a cold bright moon, a towering golden castle appeared behind the man in red, but was soon hidden in the darkness.

In a dark duel, any venue will only become a part of darkness.

But this does not affect its activation effect.

"I activate the effect of Cursed Eye Threshold - Illusionary Castle!" the red-clad man shouted. "As a resolution to this card's effect, you can add one 'Cursed Eye' monster from your deck to your hand!"

"I'm adding Sariel, the Cursed Eyed Death Apostle, to my hand from my deck!"

The voice of the man in red successfully attracted Yuan Qi's attention, shifting his gaze from Ai to the man in red's field.

"Cursed Eye? This deck is a bit subtle." Yuan Qi couldn't help muttering as he recalled the Cursed Eye deck.

The reason why it is called subtle is that this deck was popular for a period of time, and even many of them were ranked high.

But it soon became forgotten by the public for various reasons. Even if it is mentioned now, many people may still wonder, "Cursed Eye? Is there such a deck?"

However, since it has been promoted, it means that the curse eye still has a certain strength.

When he thought of this, Yuan Qi's attention became more focused.

"I Normal Summon Cursed Eyes, Death Apostle Sariel!" the red-robed man slapped the monster he had just drawn onto the Duel Board. "I activate the effect of Cursed Eyes, Death Apostle Sariel, and add one Cursed Eye card from my deck to my hand, except Cursed Eyes, Death Apostle Sariel!"

Sariel, with his long silver hair, stretched out his right hand, which was covered with a red leather suit, and seemed to be grabbing something from the deck.

"I'm adding the Equipment Spell Card - Cursed Eye of the Moon from my deck to my hand!"

Then, a silver eye ornament appeared in Sariel's hand.

"When Sariel is equipped with 'Cursed Eye of the Moon', he can activate this ability by targeting one Special Summoned monster on the opponent's side of the field. Destroy that monster." Ai, watching the scene from the side, said slowly, "As I expected, if it's just this level, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"No, it's not over yet." Yuan Qi looked at the man in red standing opposite him and shook his head, "What else is he going to do?"

As expected, the man in red didn't rush to attach the Cursed Eye of the Moon to Sariel. Instead, he slapped another card in his hand onto the Duel Board and said, "If you have a Cursed Eye monster on your side of the field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. I Special Summon Basilius, Cursed Eye's Familiar, from my hand!"

A black creature with purple stripes and a dark blue tongue emerged from the dark shadows, making a hissing sound.

"Next, I activate the effect of Basilius, Familiar of the Cursed Eyes!" the man in red stretched out his hand, directing the giant snake on his field. "You can activate this during your Main Phase. Send one 'Cursed Eye' Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to the Graveyard!"

"I'm sending the Equipment Spell Card - Snake-Haired Cursed Eye from my deck to the Graveyard!"

The man in red reached into the graveyard and said, "I activate the effect of Snake-Haired Cursed Eye in the Graveyard. Banish this card from the Graveyard, and then discard 1 "Cursed Eye" card from your hand to activate this effect. Add 1 "Cursed Eye" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck, other than "Snake-Haired Cursed Eye," to your hand!"

"I discard a Cursed Eye's Familiar Basilius from my hand and add the Counter Trap Card - Cursed Eye of Judgment from my deck to my hand!"

At this moment, Ai, floating in midair, spoke again: "The effect of Cursed Eye of Judgment is that it can only be activated when a Spell or Trap Card is activated while you control a "Cursed Eye" monster. That activation is negated and destroyed. If a "Cursed Eye of the Moon" is in your Spell & Trap Zone, the activation and effect of this card cannot be negated."

"That is the Demonic Trap Kang?" Yuan Qi glanced at the cards in his hand and said lightly.

"It's not over yet!" After searching for traps, the man in red took out a card from his extra deck and held it high above his head. "I'm setting the Cursed Eye's Death Apostle Sariel and the Cursed Eye's Familiar Basilius on the field to the Link Markers!"

"Connect Summon!"

"Gorgone, Queen of the Cursed Eyes!!!"

Her long pale blue hair sparkled like the Milky Way, and her slender and graceful body was wrapped in black armor, revealing only her fair thighs and charming face. Gorgone, known as the Queen of the Cursed Eye, appeared in front of the man in red.

"Hahaha, thanks to you! My deck has gained new power!" The man in red proudly looked at the monsters on his field and smiled at Yuan Qida, "Just witness her power!"

Chapter 16: This way you won’t be able to perform a fusion summon!

"It's just a bluff."

Ai floated in mid-air, speaking in a cool, lazy voice: "Don't be frightened by her appearance. It's just that the damage has gone from being destructive to being ineffective."

Ai then began explaining Gorgone's effect to Hara Nana: "If this card has [Cursed Eye of the Moon] equipped, you can activate this effect by targeting 1 Effect Monster on your opponent's field. That monster's effect is negated until the end of this turn."

"It feels like it might as well be a bubble." Yuan Qi said half-jokingly.

In fact, if Gorgon on the opposite field really prepared the Cursed Eye of the Moon, it would be much more troublesome than Bubble Shadow.

In fact, the man in red was indeed planning to equip Gorgon with the Cursed Eye of the Moon.

"I activate the Equip Spell Card - Cursed Eye of the Moon, and equip it to the Gorgon on my field!" The man in red inserted the Cursed Eye of the Moon in his hand into the duel disk.

"Then I cover three cards! That's how the turn ends!"

The man in red covered the field with all the cards in his hand in one go, thus ending his turn.

"Three cover cards? That's really impressive." Yuan Qi couldn't help but whispered as he looked at the black cover cards on the field of the man in red.

"Think positively, you don't have to suffer from the hand pit." Ai patted Yuan Qi's shoulder and said.

"Red pit isn't tasty either." Yuan Qi said, placing his hand on the duel disk, and then gently pulled it out, "My turn, draw a card!"

"During your draw phase, I'm chain-activating the Continuous Trap Card—Fusion Forbidden Zone!" the red-clothed man suddenly flipped open his face-up card and said, "This card has only one effect: both players cannot perform Fusion Summons!"

"In this way, your pearl tears will be useless!" The man in red said proudly, with an excited smile on his face.

"Wow, that's scary," Yuan Qi said expressionlessly. "Now I can't use Fusion Summon anymore. What should I do? This is really confusing."

"This is the disadvantage of being famous. Everyone knows that you are playing with Pearl Tears." Ai put her hands on her slender waist and comforted Yuan Qidao.

"Humph, blame yourself for being too ostentatious!" The man in red snorted coldly, "If you weren't so ostentatious, something like this wouldn't have happened today!"

"Uh..." Yuan Qi was silent.

He looked at Ayi: "Am I ostentatious?"

"No, I think you're too low-key, Qi." Ai shook his head and said, "If I did something as great as saving the world, I would definitely wear a golden cape and walk on a bright red carpet, letting everyone praise my great achievements and sing praises of my noble character."

"That's okay." Yuan Qi didn't care about the stranger in front of him whose name he didn't even know. Since Ai said there was no such thing, then there was no such thing.

Yuan Qi first placed the card he had just drawn into his left hand, then drew another card and inserted it into the Duel Disk. He said, "Since I can't use Fusion, then I won't use Fusion. Anyway... there are no Fusion Monsters in this deck's Extra Cards."

"I activate the effect of the Spell Card—Orcust's Main Tone."

Hara Nana said, sending a card from his hand to the Graveyard. "Send an Orcust monster from your hand to the Graveyard, then draw two cards from your Deck."

What? Not Pearly Tears?!

The red-clothed man's body trembled violently when he heard what Yuan Qi said. He looked at Yuan Qi in disbelief, but the instinct of a professional duelist quickly pulled him back from his shock. "I activate my counter-trap card—Cursed Eye of Judgment! It negates the activation of your magic card!"

"One card for one, it's not a loss." Ai nodded slightly.

It would be a good thing that I sent the music in my hand to the cemetery, otherwise it would have rotted in my hands and I would have lost a lot of money.

"Actually...it's not actually pearly tears?" The man in red reacted and suddenly a bunch of tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and even his throat couldn't help but become dry.

The man in blue at the side also had an ugly expression on his face. Yuan Qi's failure to use Pearl Tears meant that the targeted cards they had put into their decks would become useless!

"No, if he didn't use the Pearl Tears, he wouldn't be that strong." The man in red shook his head and encouraged himself.

"But..." The man in blue on the side recalled the four words "Orcust", opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw the nervous look of the man in red, he shut up again.

If he said this now, his companion might even lose the will to fight, so it would be better to encourage him.

"You're right, you still have Gorgon on the field!" said the man in blue.

"Yes, I still have Gorgone." The man in red looked at the monster on his field and calmed down temporarily.

The Gorgon on his field is not just ineffective, the more important thing is that she is equipped with the card Cursed Eye of the Moon.

First, the effect of Taiyin's Curse Eye:

"The equipped monster cannot be destroyed by battle or your opponent's effects, and cannot be targeted by your opponent's effects."

Secondly, in conjunction with the Field Effect, "This effect can only be activated when a 'Cursed Eye of the Moon' monster is attacked while in your Spell & Trap Zone. The opponent also bears the battle damage incurred by you in that battle."

In this way, the Gorgon on his field will have absolutely powerful resistance!

and……

"Because I activated the [Cursed Eye] Spell/Trap Card, due to the effect of the Cursed Eye of the Moon, my LP is reduced by 500, and my Gorgon's Attack Power increases by 500!"

Hara Nana glanced at the Gorgon's rising attack power and silently slapped a card on the Duel Board: "I Normal Summon the Knight of the End."

A knight in silver armor, a red scarf and an eye mask appeared on the original seven fields, brandishing his sword.

"I activate the effect of the Knight of the Apocalypse and send a dark monster from the deck to the graveyard." Yuan Qi stretched out his hand and activated the effect of the Knight of the Apocalypse.

"Don't even think about it!" the man in red shouted through gritted teeth. "I'm chain-activating the effects of Gorgon! I'm negating the effects of your Knight of the End!"

A strange red light shone from Gorgone's silver eye mask, sending out circles of ripples that hit the Knight of the End on the original seven fields. Then, the Knight of the End, who had been so high-spirited, suddenly lowered his head dejectedly, as if he were a salted fish, waiting to be slaughtered.

At the same time, Gorgone's attack power increased by 500 again!

Gorgone, Queen of the Cursed Eyes, ATK: 3200!

"Then I activate the effect of Orcust: Dream Collapse in the Graveyard," Hara Shichi said, reaching into the graveyard. "I target the Knight of the End on the field and send the Star Relic - 'Star Staff' from my deck to the Graveyard. The Knight of the End's Attack gains 100 times the Star Relic - 'Star Staff' level."

Knight of the End ATK: 1400-2200!
