Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Endless nightmares of pain relentlessly tormented Youxi under the will of Brazil.

There are always some cards in this world that are more threatening than ordinary cards.

These cards are also known as Dark Cards, and their use in duels alone can pose a life-threatening danger to duelists. This is true of "Earthbound God" and "Dead King's Evil Eye".

Brazil is a rare duelist who is compatible with "The Death King". Both are loyal to the pursuit of death, thus they can bring out the power of "The Death King" to the maximum extent.

In past duels, there have been many opponents who died instantly after taking a direct hit from the "Undead King".

If You Xi had known this beforehand, he would never have chosen to take this blow.

But that’s okay.

After all, Brazil isn't the only country that can win the favor of the elves.

"Owner!"

"Master!"

"Hey, human kid! What the hell are you doing?!"

Three voices, one of worry, one of urgency, and one of anger, echoed in Youxi's heart, and three different forces were poured into his body.

Along with Yu Xi's instinctively boiling Feel, it flowed through his limbs and bones, completely expelling the invading "Dead King" Feel.

Yu Xi's mind cleared instantly, and the illusion filled with the curse of death shattered and disappeared like glass.

Thanks, everyone.

Sweat dripped down his forehead. Yu Xi, still shaken, breathed heavily and offered his heartfelt thanks to his elves.

If it weren't for Mana and Zero's timely help, he might have suffered for a long time on his own.

"Hey! Is it just those two guys? Have you forgotten who else was there?!"

"Yes, thank you too, Miss Bell."

A disgruntled voice came from a legendary thief, and Youxi quickly spoke up.

The Black Witch snorted, "That's more like it. You're my contractor, after all. It would be a real headache if you just kicked the bucket so easily. Of course, this legendary thief will protect you."

"Tsk, did you manage to pull through?"

Seeing the light and rationality return to You Xi's eyes, Brazil couldn't help but spit and said impatiently, "That's why I hate geniuses like you. You always manage to do disgusting things."

"But in the end, I was the better player. I still have a monster on my field that can attack, so this is the end of it. 'Dragon's Death from the Underworld' attacks directly, 'Dragon's Breath from the Dead'!!"

Upon receiving the order, the "Netherworld Dragon Longwang," which had transformed from a dragon into an undead, opened its mouth, unleashing a torrent of dragon breath filled with deathly power that swept towards You Xihao.

Originally, "Netherworld Dragon Death" also had the effect of absorbing the soul power of enemy monsters, but "Alliance Transport Vehicle" has no level and it is difficult to form derivatives, so Brazil abandoned that tactic.

It doesn't matter who attacks first or last, the result will be the same anyway.

—That's how it should be.

"When 'Dragon of the Underworld Dies' declares an attack, the effect of 'Kuriboh' in my hand activates!"

Yuki, who had just escaped the illusion of death, reacted no slower than before due to the previous injury, quickly playing a card with her fingers.

"Send this card to the Graveyard, and change that attacking monster to Defense Position. Please, 'Gross Kuriboh'!!"

"Krikrik!"

A resolute yet adorable cry answered its master's request, and the round "Spherical Kuriboh" flew out of the car and resolutely crashed into the terrifying dragon breath that symbolized death.

Its body rapidly expanded in a few breaths, growing from a small basketball to the size of a truck, and then swelled to the size of a small building. The dragon breath spewed by "Netherworld Dragon Death" was completely blocked, and the entire dragon was also pressed down by the terrifying sphere falling from the sky.

Once the image of the "Spherical Kuriboh" monster disappeared, "Netherworld Dragon Death" was no longer an attack signal, but instead lay dormant on the ground.

Without external help, he probably won't be able to move for the time being.

"The 'Spherical Kuriboh' card—what a coincidence! You've got incredible luck, kid!"

"This isn't just bad luck; it's the bond between me and the card."

Yu Xi refuted Brazil's remarks seriously and urged, "Now that your monsters have already launched their attacks, is there anything else to do? If not, it's my turn."

"Of course, that's obvious."

Brazil reached for two cards on his duel disk and said, "Reveal, circuit of death! The summoning condition is 2 monsters. Set Link Markers with 'Dead King's Evil Eye' and 'Giant Ghoul Magella,' and curse the disrespectful! Link Summon! L-ink2, 'Cloaked Barber Girl'!"

"Cloaked Hairdresser Witch Girl, L-ink2/Dark/Demon→Undead/Link" "←↓, ATK: 200"

Without hesitation, he relinquished the power of two high-level undead monsters, and what appeared before Brazil was a humanoid monster.

Wearing a top hat, with dark blue skin and long, wavy blonde hair, he exuded a rather eerie aura.

"The 'Cloaked Hairdresser Witch' actually summoned this kind of monster in the end?"

You Xi frowned.

Because he came from the OCG world, he had some knowledge of most of the decks that were famous in the meta. But unfortunately, this Link Monster was not within Yuki's knowledge.

But since Brazil specifically summoned him, he must have some purpose.

"Round over, it's your turn, kid! This will be your last round!"

"The last round? Well, that's hard to say."

Hearing Brazil's voice, Youxi snapped out of her thoughts and said, "My turn, draw a card!"

Yu Xi took a few seconds to breathe, and after recovering somewhat in terms of mental and physical strength from the intense battle just now, she drew the card.

As he drew the card, Yu Xi suddenly felt several extremely powerful sensations rising up.

"That is……!"

Looking up, Youxi was astonished to find that a ghostly blue flame was burning in the sky.

It wasn't just the ghostly flame surrounding the teleportation beam; the entire island was enveloped in a ghostly blue flame.

After being unable to communicate with the outside world, this deserted island was already no different from a "locked room in a snowstorm," but now it was even closer to a prison in a fantasy story.

In addition, several different patterns can be seen etched in the sky, each in a different location.

Youxi recognized all of those patterns.

Giants, whales, monkeys, geckos, hummingbirds, vultures, spiders... a total of seven totems flickered with firelight in the sky, seemingly echoing each other from afar.

"That is……!"

"Heh, it's started."

You Xi turned around and saw Brazil looking at the patterns with the same anticipation, smiling and saying, "After waiting for so many years, this day has finally come."

"Do you know what that is?" Youxi asked urgently.

"Of course I do."

Brazil did not hold back in its response to You Xi, probably because it believed it had victory in its grasp.

"That is a grand ceremony led by the high priests and cadres of the cult. Once this grand ceremony is successfully held, our Doomsday Cult will become the new ruler of this world. You guys are the sacrifices for this ceremony. Although you are all little brats, your strength as duelists is not bad. The quality of one of your souls is equivalent to that of thousands of ordinary people."

Brazil laughed maliciously, "Feel honored! Your strength and soul will become the seeds of a new world! We will gratefully accept this gift!"

"That doesn't sound like an honor at all."

From the perspective of the victim, Yu Xi is unable to empathize with the cultists on the other side.

He only knows one thing.

"It seems I must defeat you immediately."

"Ha, can you do it? During the preparation phase, activate the effect of 'Necromancer King's Evil Eye'!"

Brazil scoffed disdainfully, and the endless ghosts and corpses once again coalesced into the figure of that extremely noble monarch of death.

"If a Field Spell is on the field, Special Summon this card from your Graveyard in Defense Position. 'The Undead King' is immortal and possesses immense oppressive power. You absolutely cannot beat me!"

"These things are never absolute, uncle."

Yu Xi said, "First, I'll activate the effect of the Field Spell: Chaos Field, removing 3 Spell Counters and adding the Ritual Spell from my Deck to my hand. Then I'll activate the Spell Card: Magic Flowerpot!"

"Based on this card's effect, I send my backrow Continuous Trap Card, 'Fragment Bond,' to the Graveyard and draw 2 cards from my Deck."

Youxi's gaze swept over the cards she had drawn, then she flipped one over—

"At this very moment, the effect of 'Guardian Priest Mahad' activates! When you draw this card, Special Summon it—Come, 'Mahad'!"

A golden light emanated from the card, transforming into a golden magic circle.

A man dressed in a golden priest's robe, with a solemn expression, knelt respectfully on one knee, awaiting You Xi's instructions.

"Guardian Priest Mahad, Level 7/Light/Mage → Undead" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 2100"

"Then activate the spell card: 'Double Spell'!"

Yu Xi played her second card, saying to Brazil, "Discard the Ritual Spell 'Chaos Form' from your hand, choose the Spell Card 'Book of the Living - Forbidden Spell' from your Graveyard, place it in the correct area of ​​my backrow, and use it."

Yuki's deck doesn't include any Zombie monsters. The only Zombie monsters he has are probably "Bone" and "Undead Warrior," which uses "Bone" as fusion material. Logically, he shouldn't be able to use this Zombie-specific spell card.

but--

"Because of the 'Undead World,' all the monsters in my graveyard are now Zombie-type. Therefore, I'm reviving 'Union Transporter' and banishing 'Giant Ghoul Magella' from your graveyard!"

Using human skin as paper, a book containing forbidden knowledge was opened. As Yuki reawakened the dead machines, he also banished the monster souls in the Brazilian cemetery to another dimension.

However, Youxi's choice was not particularly good.

"Hey, have you forgotten what 'Mojera' does?"

Brazil scoffed, "Even if 'Giant Ghoul Magera' is banished from the Graveyard, it can be Special Summoned back onto my field."

As soon as the words were spoken, the hole leading to the other dimension was cleaved open by a broken blade, and the zombie-like "Mojera" crawled out and landed next to "Giant Bone Dragon Shining".

Thus, the last gap in Brazil's squad was filled.

Six undead ghosts stared at Yuki with eerie silence, creating a scene reminiscent of a desperate situation in a horror movie, especially given the "Undead World" setting.

"That's good."

Yu Xi said in a deep voice, "I activate the effect of 'Alliance Transport Vehicle' once per turn. I select 'Guardian Priest Mahad' and equip it with a monster of the same attribute from my Deck as an Equip Card."

"chain!"

Before Youxi could finish speaking, Brazil interrupted, "The effect of 'The Necromancer King's Evil Eye' is activated! Banish your 'Guardian Priest Mahad,' [Decree of Death]!"

"Uh……!"
