This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

"Any arrogant person will eventually pay the price for their arrogance in this complex and dark labyrinth!"

"Next, I'll show you the terrifying monsters deep within the labyrinth!"

"Attack Status Summon! Shadow Ghoul!"

"Roar--"

A terrifying roar echoed along the maze's path, and at the exit, a green zombie reeking of stench crawled out from underground.

Shadow Ghoul

【Five stars】

[Dark Attribute/Undead]

Attack/Defense: 1600/1300

Seto Kaiba scoffed, "A five-star level monster with only 1600 attack power? How dare you boast like that when you can only summon such weaklings?!"

The Mi Brothers chuckled and said, "Now let them see the true terror of the maze!"

The Gong brothers proudly slapped out their cards: "The real show is just beginning!!"

"Magic Card! Fusion!"

"Merge the Shadow Ghoul and the Labyrinth Wall into one!"

"The Shadow of the Wall!"

"Attack the Bloodthirsty Orcs!"

The Shadow of the Wall

【Seven Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Warrior Race]

Attack/Defense: 1600/3000

The evil zombie, through the fusion process, possessed the maze wall, becoming a terrifying and eerie shadow. Under the command of the Gong brothers, it moved swiftly along the wall and suddenly launched a surprise attack on the side of the bloodthirsty orc!

"Tsk... Moving through walls, thus ignoring the movement restrictions of the special rules?! But it's useless!" Seto Kaiba shouted, "After fusion, even those weaklings are no match for the Blood Demon Beastmen! Counterattack! My monster!"

"Bloody War Orc!!"

"Kill that weakling!!!"

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Worms of the Maze

The Bloodthirsty Orc swung its axe at the attacking enemy; its attack power was significantly greater.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The Shadow of the Wall actually increased its combat power by 30% the instant it attacked?!

The maze brothers laughed in unison:

"Open your eyes and watch carefully!"

"This is our maze combo!"

"The monster fused with the labyrinth wall—the Shadow of the Wall—can attack any monster in the labyrinth!"

"Furthermore, when launching an attack, regardless of the target monster's type, it will be considered to be in a state of being at a disadvantage!"

"You can't even detect the shadow on the wall!"

"You have no way to resist the attack of the Shadow of the Wall!"

"Witness the destruction of that monster!"

"Shadow of the Wall! Smash the Bloodthirsty Orcs!!"

"Beep beep beep—"

[Shadow of the Wall, Attack Power: 1600 → 2080]

"Bam—"

Sharp claws emerged from the shadows and swung fiercely at the unsuspecting Bloodthirsty Orc. The agile Bloodthirsty Orc had already defended at top speed, but it was still half a second too slow and was torn to pieces by a single claw!

Seto Kaiba, LP: 2000→1820

"Damn it..." Seto Kaiba's face darkened.

The Gong brothers' turn ended there. You Shuo held the cards, calmly pondering.

The Labyrinth Brothers' combos are ever-changing, and this Shadow of the Wall is just the beginning of their tactics. It's impossible to rely on Seto Kaiba now, so he can only rely on his own strength for the time being!

"My turn, draw a card!" You Shuo said, "Set two cards face down!"

"Attack signal summoned - Hyperspace Fighter V-Shaped Serpent!"

[Time-Space Fighter - V-Shaped Serpent]

【Four stars】

[Light Attribute/Mechanical Race]

Attack/Defense: 1200/800

[Description: A high-performance fighter jet with a reserve warehouse, capable of utilizing various capabilities.]

Seeing that You Shuo had summoned a monster with the ability to fly, the Labyrinth Brothers exchanged a smile, as if they had seen this scene many times in their battles with other duelists.

"Trying to rely on the monster's flight ability to cross the maze?" The Mi Brothers smirked.

“However, in the maze, regardless of whether the monsters can fly or not, they must move according to the maze rules!” The Gong brothers crossed their arms.

You Shuo certainly knew about this.

The Hyperspace Fighter V-Snake is a four-star unit. He moves it forward four squares, and the turn ends.

The first round ended there. Under the bright lights, You Shuo noticed two large doors at the exit of the maze in the dueling arena.

The two large doors, like the main gates of the palace, were inscribed with the words "maze" and "palace".

Within the labyrinthine terrain, the two opposing sides are divided into adventurers and guardians.

The guardians are the labyrinth brothers, while Yuuko and Seto Kaiba are adventurers.

The adventurer can achieve a hidden special victory in the dungeon if their monster can escape the dungeon and navigate to the true exit through the "Dungeon Gate" or "Palace Gate".

As the new round begins, the Maze Brothers reveal this hidden rule and officially begin this duel puzzle.

"Alright, now you know the special method of victory~"

"If you want to find the real way out, listen carefully to what we're about to say~"

"Among us, one speaks only the truth, and the other speaks only the lie."

"And everyone is guarding their own corresponding door~"

"The door guarded by those who speak the truth is the true exit!"

"The path guarded by those who tell lies leads to hell!"

"During the duel, you are welcome to ask us any questions!"

"But our truths and lies are limited to the puzzles, not to the actions during the duel."

"Alright, now start thinking about how to ask us questions!"

After listening to what the Labyrinth Brothers had to say, Seto Kaiba gave a disdainful sneer: "Stop rambling on!"

"There's absolutely no need for any so-called puzzle!"

"With just a simple duel, I could easily crush you all!"

"Once I defeat you, I'll find a way out!"

Seto Kaiba's arrogance left Yu Shuo speechless.

The Maze Brothers smiled.

"A very confident adventurer~" The Mi Brothers drew a card and said with a smile, "Then let's see what methods you have to solve this dungeon~"

"But before that, I need to eliminate your companion's monster!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Put a card in the stamp!"

"The shadow of the wall is not a monster I summoned, so I cannot control it."

"Then, let's summon this card!"

"The worms of the maze!"

The Worm in the Maze

【Five stars】

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

Attack/Defense: 1800/1500

[Description: The underground realm of potential lost souls, preying on creatures that stray through this area.]

"The worms in the maze have a similar ability to hide as the shadows of the walls!" the Mi Brothers said proudly. "They can attack by burrowing underground, so they are not restricted by grids or movement!"

"Go! Worms of the maze!"

"Attack the V-Shaped Serpent Chronofighter!"

"At that instant, another hidden ability of the maze worm was triggered!"

"When this monster initiates an attack in the dungeon, the monster being attacked will definitely be in a state of being at a disadvantage!"

"Crush that intruder who has broken into the labyrinth!"

"Rumble, rumble—"

At the command of the Mischief Brothers, the maze worms burrowed into the ground, and the entire maze began to tremble slightly!

An unsettling rustling sound came from underground, and suddenly, the bricks and stones shattered!

The giant, terrifying worm burst from the ground and launched a surprise attack on the time-traveling fighter V-Snake from below!

"Splash splash splash—"

Bricks and stones flew off, and a gaping maw, as deep as an abyss, burst forth from the ground, lunging towards You Shuo's monster!

In an instant, the fighter jet hovering in mid-air vanished into thin air, evading the attack.

"The instant you attacked, I activated the Quick-Play Spell Card—Subspace Matter Transfer Device!" You Shuo shouted, flipping up the face-down card. "Use this card's effect to banish the Chrono Fighter V-Snake from the Duel until the end of the turn! Avoid the Labyrinth Worm's attack!"

The Mi Brothers sneered disdainfully, "Dodged? But what's the point? Set a card face down, and my turn ends!"

At this moment, the V-shaped serpent fighter that had just disappeared reappeared, but its position was now four squares ahead, on the right wall.

Another small fighter jet appeared at the other end.

You Shuo said, "With the cooperation of the subspace matter teleportation device, the hidden ability of the Hyperspace Fighter V-Snake has been triggered!"

"The Hyperspace Fighter V-Snake is a monster capable of traversing time and space. Even if it is banished, its equipment cards and various stat bonuses will be retained until it reappears on the battlefield!"

"Furthermore, when this card is banished and then reappears on the field, you can Special Summon a monster—Sub-Machine!"

"The sub-machine's attack and defense capabilities are exactly the same as the Hyperspace Fighter V-Snake that summoned it! And it inherits all of its abilities!!"
