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

At that time, as the flames burned, in addition to the cards that sealed the souls of the contestants, the Viper's deck should have also turned to ashes.

"What's so strange about it? I'm a legendary thief, how could something like this stump me?"

Enjoying the surprised look in Yu Xi's eyes, the Black Witch couldn't help but proudly recount her glorious deeds.

To put it simply, didn't Yuki have her attack along with the other monsters at the end of the duel?

At that time, both the "Chaos Master" and the "Baroness of Flowers" used ranged attacks, but she was the only one who adopted a melee combat style.

Taking advantage of the moment when she was about to deliver a fatal blow to her opponent, the Serpent's Feel protection was broken, the cards were scattered, and the Serpent was about to be engulfed by flames along with its master, the Black Witch got carried away with her play.

She couldn't resist using her superb skills to repeat her old tricks, just like when Grafa had taken the card.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I could only grab a few that looked decent, but I couldn't get the best hand-held one.

The black magician girl, who had just finished listening, muttered to herself, "What legendary thief? He's just a simple thief."

"Hey! I've been putting up with you for too long, blonde! This isn't called stealing, this is called recycling."

The Dark Witch protested, "That woman's definitely going to die anyway, isn't she? It's too pitiful for those cards to go down with her. Besides, winning a Dark Duel deserves spoils of war! I'm just exercising the rights of a victor!"

"But no matter what, this kind of thing is not something to be encouraged."

The Black Witch's behavior also filled Yu Xi with a desire to complain, but he really couldn't bring himself to criticize her too much.

After all, the card that the Dark Witch "picked up" wasn't for her own use, but rather a gift to herself.

These cards might come in handy in later battles.

"Anyway, thank you very much, Miss Bell. However, it's best to avoid doing this kind of thing unless it's agreed beforehand."

Even if he is the one who benefits, he will still feel a little uncomfortable about this kind of thing.

"Tch, you're all hypocrites." Seeing that no one was on her side, the Black Witch curled her lip in boredom. "Fine, since you all say so, I'll just do whatever you say and not do anything, okay?"

"So what should we do next? We can't just keep waiting here, can we?"

"Yes, so we'll have to keep looking for the next enemy."

Hearing the Black Witch's words, Yu Xi's attention was drawn away from this little episode, and she refocused on the most important matter.

Youxi looked up at the sky again.

The opponent who controlled the Lizard Landbound God has been defeated, and the next Landbound God who is closest to him and most likely to meet Yuki is obviously the one.

After confirming the location, You Xi immediately set off.

Similarly, they first sent elves to scout the surroundings, avoid and mislead the cultists, and then rushed to the location of the Giant's Land God as quickly as possible.

Before he even arrived at the scene, his keen hearing had already picked up a series of roars.

The roar was powerful and resonant, carrying a strong sense of strength, causing the earth to tremble and shake. As the distance closed, the vibrations it emitted felt very familiar to Youxi.

"The one currently engaged in a duel is..."

A guess formed in You Xi's mind, and he quickened his pace. After turning a corner, everything that came into view immediately confirmed his idea.

The dark blue "Blue-Eyed Chaos Dragon" stood tall, roaring at the dragon beast opposite it.

The little girl with rabbit ears had a face covered in dust, no longer as clean and spirited as before.

Opposite her was a man wearing a black and white mask, who appeared very calm and composed.

"Mashiro! It really was you!"

"Eh?"

Mashiro Kaiba turned her head at the sound and showed a surprised expression when she saw who it was.

"Yuki! You're here!"

"They're here already? Faster than I expected." The man in the black and white mask also made a surprised sound, then corrected himself, "No, I should say, you two are just too tenacious."

"I didn't expect you to last this long after I showed my true abilities. My impression of you has changed a bit. People from the Kaiba family are indeed not to be underestimated."

"reality……"

Even though it was their first meeting, the man in the black and white mask's distinctive appearance made him instantly recognizable.

Besides, You Xi came here specifically for him.

"Nice to meet you, Izumi Yuki."

Truth removed her mask and smiled at him, "I've been looking forward to meeting you too. I've been longing for your Crimson Dragon card and 'Gandora the Destroyer Dragon' for a long time."

Chapter 207 Conditions for Resuming the Duel

The Crimson Dragon, and Gandora...

Upon hearing just one sentence, Youxi immediately understood what the guy meant.

The former is the "Sky Dragon of Osiris" that he just used, while the latter is the "Destruction Dragon Gandora" that made an appearance once in the Stardust Cup qualifiers.

I never imagined that my two cards would be targeted by the real authorities—no, from the perspective of the real XP, being targeted is the most logical development.

"It seems that even if I don't look for you, you'll eventually come looking for me."

"Yes."

He answered honestly and frankly, "One of my main goals on this island is to meet you. Both that crimson dragon and 'Gandora the Destroyer' are incredibly powerful dragon beasts, and I really want to see them up close. You wouldn't refuse my humble request, would you?"

No, no, "Osiris" is not a dragon. You can't just grab any monster that looks like a dragon and call it a dragon, can you?

Before Yuki could even utter her complaint, Kaiba Mashiro's dissatisfied cry rang out first.

"Hey! Don't ignore me, you two! Whether it's 'Gandora' or any other dragon, as long as I'm here, you won't be able to take it away!"

Mashiro Kaiba glared fiercely at Makoto and said with absolute certainty.

But I don't think so.

"At this point, there's no point in saying any more threats, little girl. You've already reached your limit by fighting me to this extent. If this continues, no other maid can save your life."

"Well!"

"A maid..."

Upon hearing Zhenshi's retort to the little girl, Youxi realized that there were more than just the three of them in the room.

Beside Mashiro, slightly obscured by the figures of monsters and humans, another person lay unconscious on the ground.

That was none other than Mashiro Kaiba's personal maid, who had been separated from Yuuki before.

"Saki-san!"

Yuki cried out in alarm, looking sharply at Shiro: "What did you do to Saki-san?"

"Nothing special."

Truthfully, she said, "In the duel just now, in order to save her master's life, she took the hit from that girl, and her LP was reduced to 0. Normally, if she lost in a Dark Duel, she would be turned into a card. However, it seems that her Duel Disk was equipped with the latest technology from the D Alliance, so she was only knocked unconscious by the impact of the duel."

"Yeah, that's good."

You Xi breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The latest technology from the D-Alliance, the same security device previously used by Izayoi Yuki, allows a pre-programmed dummy life form to suffer the punishment of a Dark Duel in place of the duelist. Currently, it's still in the experimental stage and is only available to a small group within the D-Alliance and the Security Bureau.

However, given Haima's financial resources and influence, equipping its own employees with such a device is not a difficult task.

"Of course, that would only save your life at best."

Makoto chuckled softly, "If you hadn't shown up, not only her, but even this young lady of the Kaiba family would most likely still be in grave danger. In that sense, your arrival was quite timely."

"..."

You Xi fell silent.

He knew that the truth was right on this point.

Upon arriving at the scene, You Xi immediately understood the direction of the duel after just one glance.

On Kaiba Mashiro's field, there is only one "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon" whose attack power has been multiplied by "Gigantify," which would normally result in an attack power of 8000. However, the actual field contains "Sinful Contradictory Dragon" and "Netherworld Turbid Dragon Sigh" which has been affected by "Contradictory Dragon."

The latter's 4000 points directly suppressed the "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon's" combat power back to 4000 points, making it comparable to real dragon beasts.

If we only consider this point, it's not impossible for Kaiba Mashiro to fight against a real opponent. After all, "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon" is equipped with another "Dragon Shield Armor" card, which ensures that "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon" will not be destroyed by battle or effects.

But unfortunately, there's still one last heavyweight monster card on the field.

Pale blue lines are tattooed on the brain, forming a huge single eye. The pitch-black giant stands proudly in reality, exuding an invincible presence.

—"Kappak Apoo, the Earthbound God," this is the "Earthbound God" that the real person possesses.

Unlike the venomous snakes that would draw huge graffiti on the ground when summoned, the real one, despite also summoning its own "Earthbound God," did not cause such a commotion.

One possibility is that he has better and stronger control over his power; another possibility is that he deliberately waited for Yuki to arrive. After all, if he were to fully unleash the power of "Earthbound God," Yuki would be blocked outside and unable to reach this place.

The compatibility between "Earthbound God" and Mashiro Kaiba at this moment is the worst.

"Earthbound Gods" are immune to the effects of enemy spells and cannot be targeted. They can also attack players directly, rendering any number of tanks in the front line meaningless.

Kaiba Mashiro's remaining HP is very low, and she can't withstand a direct hit from "Earthbound God". The situation is not optimistic.

However, Mashiro Kaiba clearly does not agree with this paradoxical statement.

"No way! Yuki, don't listen to his nonsense! This guy can only be arrogant for a moment, I'll take care of him right away!" Spell Card activated: "Resurrection's Blessing"! Based on this card's effect, I can Special Summon 1 Level 7/8 Dragon monster from my Graveyard. Revive, "Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon!"

The holy light of resurrection shines from Mashiro Kaiba's grave, about to awaken the sleeping dragon within.

But that light was extinguished as soon as it appeared.

"Continuous Trap Card activated: 'Void Space'."

The cover beneath their feet was slowly lifted, becoming an absolute barrier that extinguished all hope.

"As long as this card is on the field, neither player can Special Summon a monster."

"What?! There's a trap card like this?"

He casually extinguished any possibility of Kaiba Mashiro turning the tables, saying, "I know what you're trying to do, Kaiba Mashiro. But that kind of move is useless. Don't keep trying to be brave—you see, Yuuki, this little girl is no match for me. If you continue like this, you'll only end up like that maid over there. So, how about you make a deal with me?"

"trade?"

"Yes, deal."

Reality nodded in affirmation to the puzzled Yuki, explaining, "Even if you manage to survive a dark duel, the loser will be unable to fight for a period of time. That's not the outcome you want, is it?"
