Yu-Gi-Oh!: From Casual Gamer to Soulful Player

call!

Great, another one done!

As the dimensional gate bearing the original card "Desert Storm" was activated, the dimensional connection to that medium-sized dimension was also established.

Now the International Illusion Society has another training ground for its duelists.

Feeling like he'd accomplished something significant, Hyoga plopped down in a chair. "Night Walker, get me a bottle..."

Before Hyoga could finish speaking, he remembered that Yagyou had already gone to the Underworld to cultivate.

Although Hyoga could sense through [Monster Resurrection] that he was alright and his strength was gradually increasing, he ultimately didn't have the Millennium Eye and couldn't directly see his condition.

But just then, a little penguin suddenly came running over with a bottle of drink in its arms.

This is the Penguin Soldier, a frequently used member of the Glacier deck, which has now spawned a sprite!

Now that Nightwalker is gone, and the other elves in the Glacier are all quite large, it would be quite suitable to be a waiter.

However, looking at its wobbly walking posture, Binghe was glad that he didn't like drinking coffee, otherwise it would definitely have spilled coffee all over the ground by now.

Thanks, Penguin!

The penguin soldier smiled shyly, then ran back to the small refrigerator in the research lab and closed the refrigerator door from the inside.

Even penguins, being elves, seem to prefer cool places.

Hyoga found it very interesting. After gulping down the entire bottle of beverage, Hyoga turned his attention to the card he had placed on the table...

Take this break and think more about the effects of the cards!

As Hyoga's card collection grows, many of their effects require him to have a deep understanding of them and to consider whether they can be combined with other cards...

This is important for powerful duelists.

After all, in this world, duels generally don't involve either side explaining the effects of their cards before activating them.

Currently, tabletop duels are fine, but if they evolve to duel disks, it will be impossible to interrupt a duel midway so that one side can see the card information on the opponent's duel disk.

Take Yugi Muto, for example. Oh, I'm mainly talking about Kou, although he rarely plays cards, he always plays a crucial role in helping Yami Yugi whenever he appears.

Xiao Biao knows almost every Duel Monster card; in this respect, he even surpasses Yami Yugi.

Hyoga needs to learn from him in this regard.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Moreover, the more Binghe studies diligently, the more he feels that he has already shed his status as a "cloud player" (someone who only watches others play games).

Until summoning methods like Synchro and Xyz arrive, I should be able to maintain my status as a powerful duelist.

Thinking this, Hyoga picked up the next card while smiling... and then Hyoga's smile suddenly froze.

Because the card Hyoga was holding at that moment clearly showed the image of the Demon Lizard Yoshihiro in battle.

This card is a Continuous Spell Card, "Two-Person Battle." It depicts Katuli Demon Lizard Yihao fighting alongside a knight in full armor against a giant fireman with "18" printed on its chest.

Hyoga was completely baffled. What was going on with this card? When did it appear in his collection?

Pegasus knew that Double-Beat was Hyoga's weakness, so he wouldn't print the image of the Demon Lizard Yihao on the card.

Hyoga narrowed his eyes, suddenly remembering that there was another card that he didn't know when it appeared.

Hyoga pulled out the card "Forced Escape Device," and upon closer inspection, the card art depicted a monster being ejected from a mechanical device... which also resembled the Demon Lizard Yihao.

Indeed, it was no coincidence!

Hyoga looked at the [Yihou Dou] and [Demon Lizard Yihou] cards placed beside him... Could it be that he printed these two cards out of Dou?

If these cards depict his encounters in that distant dimension, then judging from these two cards, there must be many more cards that Hyoga hasn't discovered yet.

Damn! I had too many cards on me, and suddenly a few extra ones appeared without me even noticing.

This is absolutely wrong; we've been far too lax!

In an instant, Hyoga's magical power surged, and all the remaining cards in his collection began to fly around.

Cards flew past Hyoga, and he drew out all the cards that featured the image of the Demon Lizard Yihao.

Wow, that's a lot!

[Two-person team operation]

[Joint Struggle]

The Soul Barrier

I will use my body as a shield.

[Desperate and Fatal]

[The altar for sacrificial animals]

[Dimensional Confinement]

【The Boundary Line】

【stumble】

[Level Transformation Laboratory]

[Forced Exit Device]

This series of cards shows Hyoga how, while fighting alongside the knight, he was defeated by a powerful demon, captured, and brainwashed, becoming the demon's henchman.

Later, he was sent to another dimension by magic from a more powerful knight on the side of the knights.

Subsequently, in that other dimension, Betto was sent to a laboratory by a monster with demon horns and modified.

After the "Forced Escape Device", Hyoga found two more cards featuring monsters that resembled the Demon Lizard Yihao, but were machine-enhanced versions of monsters.

【The Monster Gate】

[The Venomous Fangs of Counterattack]

This one is even more obvious. The Demon Lizard Yihao clearly has the mechanical devices shown in the [Level Transformation Laboratory] card art on him, and he is fighting another red cobra, which looks like he is testing his power.

What kind of MetalGreymon is that?!

Hyoga's expression had now turned completely cold.

There are no other cards that feature the Demon Lizard Yihao and its evolved form.

It's unclear whether what happened next hasn't happened yet, or whether Beidou was no longer able to ask Hyoga for help!

That's right, Hyoga now feels that the appearance of these cards is a plea for help from Doubt!

Hyoga must immediately go to that dimension, find Baido, and bring him back safely!

Otherwise, given how things are developing, Hyoga can't be sure whether he'll be happy to see Betto again, or whether he'll have to fight him!

A six-pointed star magic circle suddenly appeared around Hyoga, and then he disappeared from the spot.

The next instant, Hyoga appeared beside Pegasus.

Pegasus is currently painting an oil painting in his castle.

They are probably making a card.

"Pegasus..." Hyoga's tone was icy cold. "Give me the location of the dimension where Double-Beat is."

Hyoga actually wanted to question Pegasus, because Pegasus said that the dimension he obtained by giving the double-dagger was very peaceful, which is why Hyoga wasn't in a hurry to bring him back.

But now, looking at it this way, where in that dimension was there any peace? It's all been invaded by demons, and war has broken out!

But Hyoga didn't have the time to waste words with him right now.

Pegasus looked at Hyoga's current state and, without saying a word, immediately reported the coordinates of the dimension.

Pegasus did not forget that although Lord Hyoga was kind, he was still Lord Hyoga's servant even after his defeat!
