Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

Just as Soreva spoke up to warn him, the man with the long white ribbon in his hand and his light pink hair braided into a small braid suddenly leaped into a grove of trees. At that moment, Yuya Sakaki became anxious.

"Don't run! Give Kongensaka's pants back!"

He then leaped into the grove of trees, and at that moment, Soreva seemed to hear a sneer from the bald man beside him.

However, when he turned his head to look, he found that the person still had an anxious expression.

There was no other way; for Yuya's safety, even if there were traps here, Soleva had to go and risk it.

And so, Soleva followed in Yuya Sakaki's footsteps and chased after him into the grove.

However, the environment in the grove was still too troublesome. After the man in black made several turns and twists, Soleva and Yuya Sakaki could hardly find him anymore.

Fortunately, there was a third person there. The bald man seemed to have discovered the man in black and called Soreva and Yuya over.

Soreva couldn't understand how the bald man, whom neither he nor Yuya Sakaki had been able to find, could have been discovered when they had clearly shielded him from view.

Yuya Sakaki believed the bald man's words and rushed in the direction the bald man pointed, and Soleva had no choice but to follow.

Finally, in a relatively wide clearing in the woods, the man in black stopped. Sakaki Yuya immediately reached out his hand and called out to him:

"You've finally run out of steam, haven't you! Give Kwon Gen-saka's panties back!"

But the man in black chuckled, a sinister smile playing on his lips as he turned his head away.

"Can't run anymore? I've just reached my destination, Yuya Sakaki. Now that you're here, don't even think about taking this brooch back, or even going back yourself."

Amid the sinister laughter of the man in black, two more men dressed in identical black clothing emerged from behind the tree, both sporting the same sinister smiles.

Even the bald man, seeing Soleva and Yuya Sakaki surrounded by the group, finally revealed his sinister side, walking among the men in black and mocking Yuya Sakaki:

"You've fallen for it, you idiot!"

"what do you mean?"

Just as Sakaki Yuya began questioning the two men, Soleva put his hand on Sakaki Yuya's shoulder and said:

"Haven't you figured it out yet? They're probably the ones who will be Kongensaka's opponents today, the subordinates of that Ankokuji Gen. Their goal is probably to get you into trouble, so as to affect Kongensaka's mentality during the duel."

Upon hearing Soleva's analysis, Yuya Sakaki's face also showed anger:

"Damn it, how dare you use such despicable means to scheme against Quangensaka!"

The four men in black, seeing their plot exposed, showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, they raised their hands, revealing their dueling disks:

"So what if you know? Right now, Kwon Gen-saka's lingerie is in our hands! If you want it back, you'd better stay here and keep us company!"

Seeing the four men's arrogant demeanor, Soreva couldn't help but sigh:

"This is really troublesome, Yuya. Let's quickly deal with these oddballs and then head back."

Seeing Soleva raise his left hand, which was adorned with the Duel Disk, Yuya Sakaki also raised his Duel Disk and nodded emphatically:

“I understand, Mr. Soreva.”

"Duel!" ×6

"Then, I'll make the first move."

Looking at the five cards in his hand, Soreva, who had seized the first turn, immediately drew one of his cards.

"I can activate the effect of [Zanki Enbu] in my hand by sending one [Zanki] monster other than [Zanki Enbu] from my Deck to the Graveyard. Special Summon this card from my hand!"

As Soleva slammed his hand down, a mecha monster, its entire body covered in gleaming silver mechanical armor, shimmering with iridescent light, and wielding a bow-like weapon, appeared before Soleva.

"I send [Slicer Sigma] from my Deck to the Graveyard. Then, I activate the effect of [Slicer Sigma]: If this card is in my hand or Graveyard and I have no monsters in my Extra Monster Zone, I can Special Summon this card!"

"Uh... an extra monster zone!?"

Just as the four men in black were puzzled by this knowledge about the Extra Monster Zone, which was something they had never encountered before, a monster wearing red and white armor, wielding a large, flame-shaped sword, entered Soreva's arena.

"[Zanji Enbu]'s effect: If you Normal or Special Summon another [Zanji] monster on your field while this card is in the Monster Zone, add one [Zanji] Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

I added the trap card [Severing Machine Super Factorial] to my hand.

Catching the card that pops out of the Duel Disk and adding it to his hand, Soreva is about to fold his hands together.

"Next, I will stack the Level 4 [Slashing Machine Enbu] and [Slashing Machine Sigma] on the field! Xyz Summon! Come on, Level 4, [Block Slashing Operator D'Alembert]!"

From the supermassive black hole, thousands of dazzling golden lightning bolts, accompanied by a black and yellow mech wielding a giant double-headed sword, arrived on Soreva's field.

"If [Block Slayer D'Alembert] is successfully Xyz Summoned, its effect can be activated based on the number of Xyz Materials removed. Now, I remove two of its Xyz Materials and add one [Block Slayer] card from my Deck to my hand."

I'm adding [Nabra the Machine] to my hand.

At this moment, the four people opposite Soreva were staring in astonishment, their mouths agape. They had never imagined that a duel could be like this.

Suddenly, one of the four men in black began to tremble, his voice shaking as he spoke:

"I... I remember now, this person is the one who defeated Akaba Reiji in the exhibition match at the opening of the Dance Tennis Championship!"

Chapter 99 A Knife Delivered to Your Door

Despite the four people's astonishment, Soreva simply continued his actions, placing the [Nabra the Machine] he had just added to his hand onto the Duel Disk:

"Then, I usually summon [Slashing Nabra] and activate its effect!"

Tribute one Cyberse monster on your field to Special Summon one [Cut-Animal] monster from your Deck! I choose to Tribute [Block Cut-Animal Operator D'Alembert] on the field to Special Summon [Cut-Animal Rider]!

As the mecha monster, clad in black and gold armor and adorned with golden triangles, descended onto the field, it plunged its triangular giant sword into the ground, and [Block Slash Operator D'Alembert]'s body vanished into specks of light.

Within this spot of light, a burly, heavily armored mech, its upper body dominated by gold armor with black lines, but its lower body the exact opposite, appeared on the Soreva field, its two long swords crossed in its hands.

"[Slice of the Machines]'s effect causes a Level 4 Cyberse monster on the field to reach Level 8 before the end of the turn. I set [Slice of the Machines] to Level 8. Then..."

Soreva stretched out his hand and announced loudly. At that moment, both the man in black standing opposite him and Yuya Sakaki beside him felt the air inexplicably become scorching hot.

"I used a level 8 [Slashing Machine Nabra] to adjust the star rating of a level 4 [Slashing Machine Riding Weapon]!"

Summon all, gather everything! Wield the fiery blade that eradicates all enemies, and display your final form! Synchro Summon! Rank 12, [Flame Slasher: Final Sigma]!

In an instant, [Slash Machine Nabra] transformed into eight pale green halos, its leg nozzles spewing red light, and [Slash Machine Riding], which rushed into them, transformed into four spheres of light emitting a soft green glow.

As the halo and orb of light shone brightly, a crimson pillar of light surrounded the raging flames and rose directly from the ground. The scorching flames brought with them a blast of hot air that blew heavily onto the faces of everyone present. Even the nearby grass and trees were stained with a dry, charred yellow.

Suddenly, several flashes of light appeared, and the crimson, scorching pillar of fire was brutally torn apart, revealing the true face of its owner.

The mecha body, red and white, shimmered with a light like shattered mirror. The red-outer, black-inner cape and skirt, though tattered, outlined the shape of flames. The longsword in his hand was scorching hot and shiny, distorting the surrounding air into the shape of burning flames.

What is most awe-inspiring is its towering height of tens of meters, far exceeding the surrounding forest and casting a massive and terrifying shadow.

“This, this is…”

"A level...12 monster?"

"Okay, that's terrifying, I'm quitting!"

Hearing the fearful cries of the men in black around him, the one with the pink braid, who seemed to be the leader, quickly raised his voice, which was trembling slightly, and shouted:

"Don't be afraid! Even a 12-star monster only has a mere 3000 attack points! As long as we cooperate, we might be able to defeat it!"

"Oh? A mere 3000 attack points? Well then, you might as well take another look."

Soreva's voice rang out again, startling the men in black who instinctively looked up at [Flame Slash Machine End Sigma]. They saw that the longsword in its hand was even brighter, and its attack power had even soared to 6000 points.

"No, impossible, 6000 attack power?"

"I'm not participating anymore, I'm quitting, I'm quitting!"

Amidst the simultaneous gasps of astonishment from the four men in black, the bald man who had been tasked with lowering Sakaki Yuya's guard and luring both Sorewa and Sakaki Yuya here was so frightened that he turned and ran away.

Seeing him run away, the leader, a man with pink braids, quickly turned around and shouted at his retreating figure:

"Don't panic, maybe his 6000 attack power is just temporary, we still have a chance to deal with him!"

But the bald man had already run far away and was unlikely to come back.

As for Soreva, upon hearing what the pink-braided man said, he immediately bared his teeth. Although he knew the man was just guessing, he still managed to guess correctly.

Soreva was originally too lazy to use the [Slaying Machine and Riding the Weapon] skill, which increases attack power, since it wouldn't be very useful in the first round.

But that guy with the pink braid acted like he looked down on someone with 3000 attack power, so Soreva had no choice but to activate her effect to give them a little scare. She just didn't expect it to work so well; one of them was so frightened he ran away.

"I equip [Slashing Blade Nayuta] from my hand to [Flame Slashing Blade Sigma], and finally set two cards face down. End of turn."

Seeing that Soleva had finally ended his turn, the remaining three breathed a sigh of relief. Soleva's series of moves had made them forget that this was a free-for-all mode, and Soleva, having gone first, was completely unable to attack.

As for the enormous sword that [Flame Slasher: Final Sigma] had, which matched its overall color scheme and seemed to be composed of individual blades...

Seeing that the attack power of [Flame Slash Machine: Final Sigma] did not increase at all, and even dropped back to 3000 at the end of the round, the three of them did not take the sword seriously.

"Then, my turn, draw a card!"

After exchanging glances and checking their cards with their accomplices, the first man in black to draw a card sent it to his own graveyard.

"I activate the Spell Card, [Barbarian Feast]! I can Special Summon up to two Level 5 Warrior-Type monsters from my hand or Graveyard! Come, [Barbarian No. 1], [Barbarian No. 2]!"

When Soreva saw two monsters, one red and one yellow, covered in fur, wearing only loincloths, with two horns on their heads and wielding spiked clubs, appear on the opponent's field, his eyes instantly died.

[Barbarian] deck, if he remembers correctly, isn't that the same deck that Sakaki Yuya used when he first arrived in Mai-Ani City?

A deck that even Yuya Sakaki could handle back then, are you sure there's no problem with it?

While Soreva was lost in thought, the man in black continued to slap cards onto his duel disk:

"I will sacrifice [Barbarian #1] and [Barbarian #2] to summon the [Barbarian King] and equip him with the [Demon Axe]!"

Looking at the Barbarian King on his field, wielding a giant axe with a green skull as decoration on the handle, protected by purple armor against his blood-red skin, and with an attack power of 4000, the man in black immediately burst into wild laughter:

"Hahaha, so what if it's a level 12 monster!? My [Barbarian King] now has 4000 attack power! Defeat it, [Barbarian King]!"

As the barbarian king charged at [Flame Slash Machine End Sigma] with his giant axe, Soleva reluctantly revealed a card he had set face down:

"I activate the Trap Card, [Machine-Slaying Induction], and all Cyberse monsters on my field gain 500 ATK..."

However, before Soreva could finish speaking, the man in black laughed at him mercilessly:

"Hahaha, even with those extra 500 attack points, your monster is no match for my [Barbarian King]!"

"It's not over yet! [Zanpakuto Nayuta]'s effect! When the equipped monster battles an opponent's monster, send 1 [Zanpakuto] monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, and the equipped monster gains 1 of that monster's ATK!"

I sent [Slay the Machine] from my deck to the graveyard! And its attack power was 1500!

Seeing the attack power of [Flame Slash Machine: Final Sigma] jump again to 5000 points, the man in black's face instantly turned green. After all, it was his [Barbarian King] that had been destroyed. However, he still insisted on being stubborn:

"A mere 1000 points of damage..."
