Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 7 Apology
Dark game.

The damage will directly affect the body and even the soul, and when it goes to extremes, there will even be casualties - the loser will die.

This is how the saying "playing with someone's life" came about.

However, this point can actually be thought of in the opposite direction.

“As long as my LP doesn’t reach zero, I won’t fall.”

"But what can you do now?"

Keith said slowly.

"I cut more than half of your LP in the first round. Now you can't even stand steadily, right?"

Keith Howard LP: 3000

【Youming LP: 1500】

Of course, these are just the 'extras' that come with dark games.

More importantly, another point:
"Don't forget, my turn isn't over yet."

"Indeed it is."

Now, without discussing the resources in the graveyard, Keith still has a "Cannon Soldier" on the field and three cards in his hand, so there is still a lot of room for operation.

"But you don't have any means to reduce my LP anymore, right?"

This has nothing to do with the poker game or anything like that; it's just a basic fact:

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stand here."

"Tsk, what a sharp-tongued brat."

Hearing this, Keith frowned, but after seeing the card in his hand, his originally ugly expression suddenly relaxed.

"I want to see how long you can keep your mouth shut—I'll cover a card and activate it!"

Three shining swords fell and directly blocked You Ming.

"[Light Sealing Sword]—This card can directly block your attacks for three turns. I will end this turn like this."

After finishing his declaration, Keith folded his arms.

"But actually, you don't have to wait three rounds. When my next round comes, your life, which is like a candle in the wind, will be over!"

"Is it."

Looking at Keith's mocking expression, You Ming no longer showed the same sharp counterattack as before.

After taking a deep breath, he placed his hand on his deck.

Faintly, he felt that the smell of burnt barbecue seemed to dissipate.

Talking also seemed a little easier.

So……

"My turn, draw a card."

"Tsk, still that expression."

Looking at You Ming's calm expression, Keith clenched his teeth.

"Then at this moment, I open the cover card!"

Following the command, ghosts began to spread across the field, and a grave appeared shortly thereafter.

"Trap Card—"Cry of the Living Dead"!"

From the generated tomb, a moss-covered machine slowly crawled out.

"By this card's effect, the "Motor Boom" in my Graveyard will be revived in a decayed state."

Motor Thugs

"atk/2100"

On the rusty body, the arms like guns still emit a cold light.

But now, the focus does not seem to be on its own attack power.

"You should know its special effects, right?"

He sneered, and his gaze under his sunglasses was as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to poke a few holes in You Ming.

"Even rusted scrap metal will have some parts left, which means I can launch three artillery attacks!"

So, isn't this an effect that can only be triggered by sending to the grave after a higher level summon? But if you think about it carefully, there aren't so many restrictions after the original game.

That's it.

"Well, I see."

But that simple response caused even stronger dissatisfaction.

"Tsk, why do you still have that expression?"

Looking at You Ming's calm expression, Keith clenched his teeth.

"Do you understand the situation we're in now? Your LP of only 1,500 points is nothing but something I can clear out in a flash!"

He roared loudly.

"You're finished in the next round! Do you understand, little brat!"

"So what are you rushing about?"

With a brief question, the ferocious expression on Keith's face suddenly froze.

"Keith Howard, what on earth do you want?"

Looking at the card he drew, You Ming slowly added it to his hand.

"You keep emphasizing your own advantages and belittling your opponents. Do you want to see despair and anxiety on my face and take pleasure in it, or do you mean..."

He looked at the man who seemed to be in a daze.

"You just want to prove something?"

"joke!"

After coming back to his senses, Keith said coldly.

"What do I need to prove?"

"Prove you're still the American Champion?"

"..."

Facing Keith's expression that seemed like he wanted to say something but hesitated, You Ming just shook his head.

"Come to think of it, I still owe you an apology."

"What……"

"I admit that I used to look down on you, Keith Howard. You are arrogant, selfish, heartless, and greedy... Many people believe that your downfall began after you were defeated by Beckas, but I think you deserved to be teased by Beckas."

"Smelly brat..."

Looking at Keith's expression which had become ferocious again, You Ming closed his eyes.

In the original work, there was not much description about the public challenge between the thieves Keith and Bekas.

It is just using Kaiba's mouth to convey the horror of Pegasus J. Croft to the protagonist Yugi Muto.

But the essence of that game can actually be connected.

First of all, Yami Yugi personally confirmed that Bekas's Millennium Eye does not have the ability to predict the future and cannot see the cards drawn from the deck.

But in that tournament, Beckas abandoned the game in the first round and defeated Keith, who was then playing with a note he had left behind. This can only mean one thing:

"You were already cheating then, weren't you?"

"..."

"But even so, you're still amazing."

Amidst the champion's silence, You Ming continued to speak.

Of course, he was not trying to excuse or whitewash the guy in front of him.

To some extent, this is what he said to himself.

Just like he had promised in the heart room:

"I won't underestimate you again, champ."

"..."

Keith was stunned.

Perhaps the current development is completely different from what he imagined, and the former champion has no idea how to deal with that simple emotion.

He did not continue to curse, but swallowed the dirty words.

"It's too late to flatter me now, little brat."

"No, this is not flattery. I will completely defeat you out of respect for your strength."

In other words...

"I will win."

"win?"

"Yes."

"you?"

"Correct!"

This is the only point he will never give in to.

Only that victory!!
"Then let me see how you are going to win under these circumstances!"

He waved his hand.

You Ming's gaze returned to the battlefield called Duel.

Now, the lightsaber barrier blocked all normal avenues of attack, and he still had two monsters on the field.

But at the same time, his backfield is very clear, with only two activated cards.

In other words - fast movement without pits!

"Prepare……"

He closed his eyes with a hoarse voice.

It's not just a stage, it's also necessary preparation for him.

Then...

"main."

He spoke.

Theoretically speaking, there is obviously no hand trap that needs to be launched in this situation in this era, so let's get started!

"I cover two cards in the backfield, then activate this card."

‘Zi La’

Suddenly, the sealed room was torn open, and a chaotic passage to another dimension was opened.

"Magic Card - 'Rough Man's Prediction'."

This card was obtained by You Ming from a pre-assembled card pack from another dimension. The card pack itself does not constitute a field, but the card image clearly tells the story of a group of people traveling through another dimension.

Of course, that doesn't matter now.

What's important is that this card is a huge boost to his deck, because its effect is as follows:
"This can only be activated if there are no monsters on your field. Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from your Deck. I choose..."

'Zizzi'

A fierce warrior stepped out of the unstable extra-dimensional passage.

"The Dark Sword, the warrior of the Dark Demon Realm."

The gap was closed, and only the warrior holding two swords was left standing on the field.

Beneath the rare silver helmet, a pair of eyes radiated a surging fighting spirit.

"Dark Sword of the Dark Demon World Warrior (lv4)"

Attribute/Dark

Race/Warrior

"atk/1800 def/1500"

A long time ago, when You Ming was still a child and didn't know how to play cards, he still liked this card very much.

Not for anything else, just because he is handsome.

But unfortunately, after he really got into this crappy game, this card never appeared in front of him again - to be more precise, it could not be included in his construction.

Basically, you can only play it now when you have nothing.

"..."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, You Ming felt that the warrior on the field seemed to turn around.

After looking at him, he withdrew his messy thoughts.

"Please, I'll give you the weapon."

He seemed to nod.

So……

"Equipment magic—"Devil's Axe"."

A huge axe flew back, and the warrior put down his swords and held them tightly in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, a bloodthirsty red light emanated from his eyes.

"This card increases the equipped monster's attack power by 1000 points."

"Dark Sword, Warrior of the Dark Demon Realm"

"atk/1800→2800"

"The attack power has increased so much in one go, the kid is quite skilled."

After all, it is the early stage, and in the current relatively slow environment, a high-attack monster that can stand on the field is enough to cause surprise.

But this is not over yet!
"Then, I activate this card."

'boom'

The mysterious positions gathered together, and a green light tore open the passage.

"Activate ritual magic—"Advanced Ritual"."

"It's actually a ritual summon?"
