This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

The International Illusion Society's island utilizes many advanced technologies, allowing many terrain features to be generated in a very short time.

You Shuo looked at the dark, massive earthen wall in front of him. The soil on it was still very fresh, probably only recently formed.

"This must be something Pegasus came up with on the spur of the moment to hinder me."

Having a thorough understanding of the original work, You Shuo had already guessed who the enemy was behind this maze.

"That Pegasus guy is really cunning."

"If I insist on going in tonight, I will definitely be fighting two against one, which will put me in a very passive position."

"But if we wait for the other duelists, then we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning."

"Those duelist hunters who just bypassed me were probably hunting other contestants around here."

Just as You Shuo was pondering and planning to fight two opponents alone, another person with the same idea appeared, intending to defeat the Maze Brothers single-handedly.

He was Seto Kaiba, who had just woken up and arrived after obtaining accurate information by hacking into the International Illusion Society's computer.

Upon seeing Yu Shuo, Seto Kaiba paused for a moment: "Tsk, you're here too?"

You Shuo smiled faintly, "Now that I've won your star, I've collected ten, so naturally I need to head to the castle as quickly as possible."

Seto Kaiba analyzed the situation.

He quickly guessed that the temporary maze was prepared for You Shuo.

If that's the case, the labyrinth brothers inside are probably not as easy to deal with as he imagined. Pegasus must not have been blindly confident to have placed them here.

Seto Kaiba knew very well that if that were the case, then relying solely on two Blue-Eyes White Dragons wouldn't guarantee a high chance of victory. He could definitely win, but...

Too much time is wasted.

Rather than insisting on a one-on-one fight, it would be better to team up with You Shuo, who also wants to navigate this maze.

Seto Kaiba is a very shrewd businessman; he knows when to make enemies and when to form alliances.

"You Shuo, let's form an alliance."

Seto Kaiba's tone remained arrogant.

"However, I'm not doing this out of fear, but because there are two guys inside."

"You must also want to get into the castle as soon as possible, right?"

"In that case, the best solution is for us to join forces and defeat those two guys."

You Shuo smiled and said, "Okay."

He had no reason to refuse.

To battle the Labyrinth Brothers, you first need to find the right direction in the labyrinth, which takes a lot of stamina and time. With Seto Kaiba, everything is much simpler. He can hack into the International Illusion Society's computers, so he can naturally use those advanced technologies for navigation.

However, this alliance is just that.

Yu Shuo knew very well that Seto Kaiba wouldn't develop any good friendship with him because of this incident.

He still has the third Blue-Eyes White Dragon in his hand, and he will definitely try his best to win against him later.

"Beep---"

Seto Kaiba revealed his equipment and guided Yushuo through the maze, accurately identifying directions.

Soon, the two arrived at the depths of the maze.

Before me stood a massive door!

Seto Kaiba kicked the door open with a bang!

"Bang---"

Behind the door stood a magnificent and brightly lit palace!

In the very center of the palace is a special dueling arena that seems to be able to accommodate four duelists at the same time. Opposite Yuuki and Seto Kaiba are two large gates, which are tightly closed. One gate is marked with the character "迷" (mystery), and the other with the character "宫" (palace).

Seto Kaiba narrowed his eyes, coldly observing the surrounding situation.

Just then, two gusts of wind howled, and two strong, bald men suddenly appeared out of nowhere! They were dressed in traditional clothes, with the characters "迷" (mi, meaning maze) and "宫" (gong, meaning palace) written on their chests respectively.

The Lost Brothers: "O duelists who have gone astray!"

Gong brothers: "Now you've arrived at this maze!"

The Brothers: "We brothers each guard a door!"

The Gong brothers: "He's a mystery! I'm Gong!"

The Maze Brothers shouted in unison, "If you want to get out of here, you have to defeat us!"

"And special two-player duel rules must be used!"

"If you win, we will give you the clues to the real door and the stars!"

"But if you lose, you will have to stay with us forever in the depths of this dark and lonely labyrinth!"

"You have no choice and no way out!"

"Come on! A two-player duel in the maze! Begin!"

"Put your bets on it!!!"

You Shuo knew that there was no way to pass this duel if he didn't accept it, so he casually tossed his star chips as a bet.

Seto Kaiba, however, gave a cold and arrogant smile and revealed two rare cards—Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"In this duel, I'm not betting on stars; I'm betting on the rarest cards among these two Duel Monsters—"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!!"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Two-Player Duel in the Labyrinth

"What?!"

"Stake the Blue-Eyes White Dragon?!"

The maze brothers were greatly shocked.

They were supposed to only engage in duels with star chips as stakes; gambling with cards was against work regulations.

but……

The maze brothers looked at each other.

However, even if they only have one Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it's enough for them to live a life of plenty!

If they can win this duel, the two brothers won't have to work for the International Illusion Society anymore!

After some thought, they quickly agreed to the condition.

"Hmph~" the Mi Brothers said with a sneer, "It seems you're ready to challenge us."

The Gong brothers: "But blind confidence is meaningless!"

The Maze Brothers shouted in unison, "We'll bet a total of twenty stars!"

"Two-person duel! Begin!!"

[Missing Brothers, LP: 2000]

[Gong Brothers, LP: 2000]

Seto Kaiba, LP: 2000

[You Shuo, LP: 2000]

The brothers coldly explained the rules: "In a two-player duel, teammates do not share life points!"

The Gong brothers added, "Card effects that target opponents can be used on teammates!"

Maze Brothers: "The rounds will be interleaved!"

"The first duelist of both sides cannot attack in the first round, while the second duelist can launch an attack in the first round!"

"Only by defeating us can you obtain clues about the real exit!"

"Come on! Let's solve the puzzle by dueling!"

"Snapped--"

"My turn! Draw! Set one card!" The Mischievous Brothers replenished their hand, then smirked wickedly. "Lost duelists! You who have trespassed into unknown territory have no idea what you are about to face!"

"Now, I will summon a strange monster powerful enough to alter the environment!"

"Despair amidst the intricate maze of roads!"

"Maze wall! Defense alert!"

"Snapped--"

The card was slammed down, and the entire dueling arena began to change drastically!

The palace trembled violently! Thick, barrier-like walls began to appear on the once-normal dueling arena! These walls formed an extremely complex labyrinth on the battlefield!

【Maze Wall】

【Five stars】

[Earth/Rock type]

Attack/Defense: 0/3000

[Description: Thick walls, like a barrier, appear, creating a maze with no exit.]

The brothers grinned smugly: "From now on, the rules of the duel will undergo further changes!"

The Miya brothers excitedly added, "The monsters summoned by the duelists will move around the maze like chess pieces!"

The Mischievous Brothers: "The maximum number of squares you can move is the same as the monster's star rating!"

The Miya brothers: "Your monster can only attack if it is adjacent to your opponent's monster!"

The Labyrinth Brothers: "This is our ultimate territory—the Duel Labyrinth!!"

"Hmph! Utterly laughable, utterly boring!" Seto Kaiba waved his arm, drew a card, and chanted, "I will crush the coffins you've prepared for yourselves!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Attack signal summons—Bloody War Orc!"

"Roar--"

A rough and brutal roar echoed through the complex and ever-changing landscape as a ferocious and evil orc wielding a massive iron axe appeared at the entrance to the labyrinth!

It's only level four, but its attack power is a whopping 1900 points!

Bloodstained Orcs

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Beast Warrior Race]

Attack/Defense: 1900/1200

[Description: A Warcraftian who commits heinous acts and finds pleasure in them. His axe is often stained with blood.]

"Hmph~" Seto Kaiba sneered confidently and smugly, "According to your boring rules, my Blood Demon Beastman is level four, so I can move forward four spaces!"

"Seahorse, it's best to wait a bit." Knowing how difficult this maze was, You Shuo suggested, "With this kind of terrain, it's obviously better to work in a team. Let me summon the monsters first, and then we can use cards to move forward together."

However, just as Yu Shuo had expected, it was pointless for him to say such things. The arrogant Seto Kaiba had never believed in cooperation. He sneered and said, "What? Are you scared, Yu Shuo?"

"Then you'd better hide well in the back and not get in my way!"

"Go! Bloodthirsty Orc! Advance four squares!"

"Tap tap tap tap—"

Heavy footsteps echoed from within the maze. The tall, ruthless orc walked step by step into the dark and gloomy labyrinth. When he stopped at a bend in the path, he exhaled a heavy puff of white breath from his nostrils and looked warily into the depths of the maze, gripping his iron axe tightly in his hand.

"I'll set two more cards face down," Seto Kaiba announced loudly. "My turn is over!"

Faced with Seto Kaiba's fearlessness and their own, the Labyrinth Brothers exchanged a knowing glance and chuckled coldly. When it was the Labyrinth Brothers' turn, he shouted and drew his card:

"Well then, it's my turn!"

"Draw a card!"

"Ignorant adventurer, soon you will feel the power of this terrible place!"
