Do you like Yu-Gi-Oh even if it's like this?

Page 48

However, a figure blocked the iron muzzle and stopped the fear of the three dead.

The figure was not majestic, nor did it have anything to do with so-called justice or courage.

——Then, in the next moment, that figure disappeared along with the figure holding the gun.

In a physical sense, it disappeared into the air without leaving a trace, leaving only the clanging sound of the gun at the spot.

Mei Jie's and my own screams cut through the night sky, and then...

And then… ?

The memory in my mind seemed to stop at this moment.

"Oops, looks screwed."

——It’s a familiar voice.

Following the sound, it was indeed Yao.

She poked at the passers-by - however, no one responded to her. Everyone kept walking, but no one knew where they were going.

A city with bustling traffic is just "running" but never "alive".

"...Die, don't be surprised when I tell you."

"——I have nothing to be surprised by in front of this scene."

Die smiled bitterly.

Ever since she followed Mei up the mountain, she had been kidnapped and threatened by her teacher... She seemed to have heard some supernatural elements in the fragments of their conversations.

You know, Mei never told Die the source of the information. She was just brought around like an outsider, and then turned into a hostage like a pendant, and then pointed at with a gun.

At this point, there is nothing to be afraid of.

“This is my dark game.”

"?"

“This is my dark game.”

"Wait, I heard it, no need to say it twice... Dark Game? That... thing in the comics?"

As the saying goes, in a game of gambling with one's life, the loser has to pay a very high price, including his soul.

——But what does this have to do with the busy street in front of us?

"At that moment - the moment when the teacher and that guy disappeared together, I don't know why..."

Yao squeezed her palms and explained her feelings a little uneasily.

“There was a sense of ‘I can do this, too.’”

The sharpness of her eyes shuttled through like silk threads, then pierced through, prying open the gap between the two worlds.

“Although it was only experimental, it seems to have been successful.”

——Just seeing the dark game, I reproduced it.

"Wait, doesn't the Dark Game require the Millennium Brick or something?"

Die has never watched Yu-Gi-Oh, but she still knows some of its more unconventional settings.

"I don't know - I just know that in this world, I want to play cards."

She shrugged, indicating that she didn't know either, in response to Die's completely confused look.

"What the hell... Can the Duel Brain open the Dark Game?"

Butterfly murmured.

"By the way, who did you play the dark game on...it wasn't me, was it?"

"Of course not. As for who it is..."

Yao raised her eyes, and on the other side of her sight, the crowd parted like Moses parting the sea.

"I chose a guy who was unconscious... but how could he wake up in this game?"

"Is this... the Dark Game?"

A grocery store owner, or a robber, or a hero, it doesn't matter.

His face was twisted like sheets in a blender.

"Damn you little brat...I'm going to make you regret challenging me."

He has a deck of cards in his hand.

"It looks like the decks here come with their own."

Yao also waved his hand, and then a deck of cards appeared in his hand.

"BO1, loser dies - no problem, right?"

——All around, the flow of people continued without any ripples, ignoring the two people who were preparing to duel in the middle of the street.

"Wait, wait!? What's with the loser dying? Haruka?!"

Hearing words that could not be ignored, Chou anxiously called out to Haruka - but was then separated by the crowd, and her outstretched hand was unable to reach Haruka.

"Of course! This is the dark game I've been craving for!"

The hero draws five cards from his hand.

——If you are a duelist, you must have fantasized about this to some extent.

The duel with lives at stake is here.

"I have a feeling that if I beat you here, I will definitely get the same dark game."

"I'm sorry, but you're only going to lose here."

——Different from the usual duels on the table, this is a dark game that makes your blood boil.

Whether it was a dry mouth or a chill at the back of the head, these physical sensations were unimportant things. In this dark ritual, they were all insignificant and trivial matters.

Even the top of the card felt darkly hot.

"I see, the Dark Game... is something like this."

She was filled with excitement.

"I'll attack first!"

Before his brain could react, he roared as if to expel the last bit of air from his lungs.

Then, he looked at the card he had drawn first.

"?!"

——As if being paved with cold water, the breath of death spread up my spine.

Her passion, the excitement of playing the dark game for the first time, was sent into the bottomless abyss along with the cards that came into view.

"Hei... Yu...?"

——It’s not Sky Striker from the Modern deck, but Black Feather.

It is an outdated deck that is more than ten years behind the times.

Water machine, and its first seven:

Chapter 54: The Power of the Ancient Deck

“…How could it be…”

The deck was asserted to be weak - although the Nine-legged Spider did not say it explicitly, with a deeper understanding of other store competition decks, Yao could assert the strength of the Black Feather deck.

That was definitely not a problem that could be laughed off. In the crucial dark game, the deck in my hand became so weak...

Haruka gritted her teeth until they made a chattering sound.

The opposing hero, after getting the Phoenix Man's enhancement, can eat the crumbs on the edge of the pie, and is definitely above T2.

Yao couldn't help but take a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

(Don’t think about why you got the Black Feather deck… If you lose your mind here, everything will be over…)

No matter how unfavorable the situation is, you have to give it a try - if there is anything she learned from playing in the store and with the Sky Striker deck, this must be one of them.

I still have a brilliant plan to turn the situation around in my hands.

Please, definitely, definitely...

"...Gu, I cover a monster, then two more cards, and the turn ends."

——Is there a chance?

"Oh, it won't unfold? Looks like it's stuck."

The hero glanced at the cards in his hand.

"Come to think of it, you should have a Duelist ID, right? What is it?"

"...YAO"

"It's really easy to understand - my ID is Fusion Destiny."

Fusion Destiny said so.

“…It’s really easy to understand.”

"Ha! So - it's my turn 9, draw four cards, prepare 5, and most importantly - [Fusion of Destiny]!"
