Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

This is the ocean!

That duelist must be nearby!

Yu Che, who was extremely familiar with the original anime, thought this way, then tidied up his things and walked in the direction from which the fragrance was coming.

Chapter 50 Seto Kaiba Heads to Duel Kingdom

As the sun gradually sank into the sea, the tides that kept lapping against the shore were gilded with a mesmerizing gold.

Sitting on the rocks, a muscular young man with his upper body bare was eating grilled fish with gusto. He skillfully spat out the fish bones from his mouth and leisurely gazed at the sea.

The six star-shaped chips on his right glove indicate that he is also a formidable duelist.

"It's getting dark, and the tide is coming in. I wish some duelist would just show up."

Kajiki Ryota threw the fish skeleton on the ground and continued to turn over the food roasting in the fire.

As the third runner-up in the National Duelist Championship, he has never been afraid of fighting; on the contrary, he longs to encounter strong opponents.

Just then, footsteps approached from not far away. Alert, he glanced over out of the corner of his eye: "Ah! They're here! Looks like... it's that big shot You Che from these days!"

"Yosh! The stronger the prey, the more excited the hunter will be!"

Kajiki Ryota dropped the grilled fish and stood up.

Before long, the booming sound of the dueling platform rose from the shore.

Yuzuru and Kajiki Ryota each drew their decks and began their duel.

........................

An isolated island, a villa, at dusk.

Seto Kaiba sat at his desk by the window, constantly adjusting his new research. It was a pair of devices that looked very much like frisbees. As the buttons on them were turned gently, colorful virtual projection particles flickered all around.

After adjusting the parameters, Seto Kaiba gently snapped the outer casing of the device shut. He picked up the new dueling equipment, which was still in the research and development stage, looked at it for a while, and then revealed a long-lost relaxed smile.

"Although there are still some areas that are not perfect, it is enough to be shown at the press conference." Seto Kaiba was quite satisfied with this new work.

He has been staying in this villa for almost a month since leaving KC Company.

During that month, he studied the new equipment while searching for "the soul of the card".

The new combat equipment has now been initially completed.

Although Seto Kaiba does not yet fully understand the "heart of the card".

But this latest research is enough to reverse KC's collapse.

After tidying up the items on the table, Seto Kaiba, preparing to return to Domino City, took out a card from his pocket. It wasn't a Duel Monsters card, but a photo of him and his younger brother, Keihei Kaiba.

"Kuihei, you must have had a very hard time these days."

"It's alright, I'll come back now with the hopes of KC Company!"

Even Seto Kaiba, who always had a cold expression, showed a gentle smile.

Just then, a very faint noise came from outside the room.

Seto Kaiba's expression instantly turned cold and serious. While continuing to pretend to pack his luggage, he quietly pressed a button on the keyboard.

The surveillance footage outside the room was displayed on the computer screen, showing more than a dozen burly men in suits approaching the room with handguns in hand.

The quick-thinking Seto Kaiba immediately realized what was going on.

Those burly men in black were originally bodyguards for the KC Group, but now they're armed with guns and trying to attack the chairman of KC Company?

The reason behind this is self-evident!

It seems that Pegasus's influence has completely infiltrated KC!

"boom----------"

The door to the room was kicked open.

The black muzzles of the guns were all pointed at Seto Kaiba.

"Seahorse! You're surrounded!!"

Faced with threats from his former subordinates, Seto Kaiba merely sneered contemptuously: "How much did Pegasus give you that you guys dare to betray me?"

"Ha!" The leader, gripping a pistol, stepped forward and said, "You should worry about yourself first! KC Corporation is now completely under Lord Pegasus's control. Even your brother, Kaiba Keiping, has been imprisoned!"

Upon hearing this news, Seto Kaiba, who had been somewhat worried, suddenly smiled with relief: "If Keihei is still imprisoned, it means that Pegasus failed to get what he wanted. In that case, both Keihei and KC Corporation are still safe."

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to die, come with us obediently!" A group of burly men in black cautiously approached.

But how could they possibly catch Seto Kaiba now that he had no worries about the future?

*Smack!*

Seto Kaiba kicked the computer chair off the floor and pressed the key on the keyboard again.

Suddenly, an angry dragon roar resounded from the room, and a terrifying image of a giant dragon almost filled the entire room!

"This, this is a Blue-Eyes White Dragon?!"

Before the assassins could react, Seto Kaiba had already turned the simulated impact parameters of the projection equipment to the highest level!

The blue-eyed white dragon opened its jaws and mercilessly spewed its breath at the dozen or so men in black!

Within seconds, these highly trained assassins were all lying on the ground, in a state of shock.

"Hmph!" Seto Kaiba picked up his packed luggage and indifferently stepped over the bodies of those people.

It's important to know that the virtual projection system used in the dueling arena was originally intended for military use. If Seto Kaiba hadn't tried so hard to stop his adoptive father, this technology that brings joy to countless people might now be a nightmare for the entire world.

Upon arriving at the helipad on the top floor of the villa, Seto Kaiba, who had originally planned to return to KC Corporation, changed his mind.

Sitting in the helicopter cockpit, he chose Duel Kingdom Island, where a tournament was being held, as his destination.

By this time, the sun had almost sunk below the horizon.

Seto Kaiba raised the helicopter, his eyes filled with anger and hostility.

"Pagodas! How dare you kidnap Guiping!"

"Since you've gone this far, be prepared to lose everything!"

The roar of the propellers came from the deep blue sky, and the silver-white helicopter gradually disappeared into the night.

........................

"duel!!!"

Cruiser, LP: 2000

Ryota Kajiki, LP: 2000

On the shore at dusk, Yuzuriha and Kajiki Ryota engaged in a duel.

As top-tier duelists, their wager was: three star chips!

"Whoosh—"

With his increasing familiarity with the duel rules, Yu Che easily seized the initiative. He swung his arm, drew his card, and immediately began his turn:

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Angel's Blessing!"

Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two!

"Attack Status Summon! Armored Dragon Lv3!!"

"Snapped!!!!"

As the card fell, before the holy light released by the angel had dissipated, a young dragon beast roaring in the gale appeared from the card.

Chapter 51: The Extreme Battlefield! The Sea Arena!

For various reasons, there is no 100% sea-themed arena in the Duel Kingdom.

Therefore, the battlefield between Yuzuriha and Kajiki Ryota is 50% ocean and 50% grassland.

After summoning his main monster, Armed Dragon Lv3, Yuzuru set two cards face down and ended his turn.

Gazing at the Armored Dragon, which he had seen countless times in videos, Kajiki Ryota's excitement gradually ignited. He stretched his shoulders and laughed excitedly:

"You Che! I've wanted to duel with you since before the tournament even started!"

"And this time you didn't disappoint me either, summoning your ace monster, Armed Dragon, right off the bat!"

"However, the power of the sea is terrifying! A level three armed dragon simply cannot last until the next round!"

"My turn! Draw!" Kajiki Ryota swung his muscular arm and deftly played a card from his hand. "Summon a monster! Attack your Armed Dragon Lv3!!"

"Hmph~ Yu Che, a duelist of your caliber must have prepared cards for a counterattack!"

"However, hidden by the sea, you can't see any information about my monster at all!"

"In this situation, you can only watch helplessly as your monster becomes my prey!"

When Ryota Kajiki's card fell, no new monster appeared in the duel arena!

Yuche could only see through the screen that a dark shadow had appeared in one of Kajiki Ryota's monster slots, but he couldn't see how much attack or defense that monster had!

Beneath the sea, something terrifying seems to be swimming toward the land!

The cautious Armored Dragon Lv3 maintained a fighting stance, but it didn't know which direction to defend itself.

Looking at the two face-down cards on his field, Yu Che hesitated.

Just now, through the angel's charity, he sent a monster card "Bladefly" to the graveyard. That monster can provide an aura effect to monsters on the field, increasing the ATK of all WIND monsters by 500, while decreasing the ATK of EARTH monsters by 400.

Yuzuru's original tactic was to revive the Blade Fly in the graveyard by activating the Trap Card "Angel Rise and Fall" the instant the opponent attacked. This would instantly boost the Armed Dragon Lv3's attack power, enough to turn the tide of battle.

but……

Without knowing the enemy monster's attack power, this tactic is likely to become meaningless!

For the sake of prudence, Yuche chose to play another face-down card: "Spell Card - Level Up! Evolve Armed Dragon Lv3 into Armed Dragon Lv5!!"

"roar------------"
