This Hextech Duel Master is a pro at getting targets.

"Beep beep beep..."

[Submachine Gun, Attack/Defense: ? /? → 1200/800]

Before arriving at the Duel Kingdom tournament, You Shuo carefully read the hidden rules of the maze.

In this arena, cards that allow vanished monsters to reappear, such as those that are warp-space matter transport devices or time machines, can place the reappearing monster in another square, but the distance from its original position cannot exceed its current level.

You Shuo's strategy was to use the combination of subspace matter teleportation and the hyperspace fighter V-Snake to get as close to the maze's exit as possible, while simultaneously summoning a sub-unit to attract attention and provide cover.

As the guardians of the maze, the Maze Brothers instantly saw through You Shuo's thoughts. Their expressions turned cold at the same time, and they both focused their attention on the monster closest to the exit—Ziji.

"You two bastards... how dare you ignore me?" Seto Kaiba's voice was tinged with anger. "Then, I'll make you pay a heavy price for your negligence towards me!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Attack signal summons—the vengeful stealth warrior!"

"Since my monster was destroyed in the battle, it will absorb the souls and resentments of its companions!"

Hidden ability triggered!

"Attack power increased by 30%!"

The Stealth Warrior of Vengeance

【Six Star】

[Dark Attribute/Warrior Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2000/1600]

[Description: A monster harboring the resentment of its killed comrades.]

"Beep beep beep..."

[The vengeful stealth warrior, attack power: 2000→2400]

"Also, the Vengeful Stealth Warrior is a Level 6 monster, so it can move six squares at a time!" Seto Kaiba commanded. "Vengeful Stealth Warrior! Move forward!"

"Put a card in the stamp!"

My turn is over!

The Vengeful Stealth Warrior has an attack power of 2400, and even if the Shadow of the Wall gains a counter advantage when attacking, it still cannot defeat it.

The labyrinth worm does possess this ability, but the problem is that it belongs to the labyrinth brothers and they cannot control it at all.

"Whoosh..."

Sensing the power of the vengeful stealth warrior, the Gong brothers frowned, but their brows quickly relaxed as they drew a new card into their hands.

"Heh~"

"This card? It came at just the right time!"

"My turn!"

"Defense Command Summoning - Demon Tamer of Hell!"

【The Demon Tamer of Hell】

【Five stars】

[Earth Attribute/Warrior Race]

Attack/Defense: 1800/1600

[Description: A monster user who can freely manipulate monsters to attack.]

"Is it this card?!" You Shuo immediately became cautious.

This monster's hidden ability is very simple in regular duels: when summoned, it selects one of its monsters on the field and increases its ATK by 500.

In two-player duels, it unlocks another hidden ability: summoning a monster chosen by an ally when it enters the field. This increases its attack power by 500 and gives it control of that monster.

The fact that the Miya brothers played this card means that this turn they can not only destroy the Chrono Fighter-V-Snake with the Shadow of the Wall, but also command the Labyrinth Worm Crusher!

However, seemingly wary of Seto Kaiba's Dark-attribute Warrior-type monster with an attack power of 2400, the Miya brothers split their attacks between Yuuki and Seto Kaiba:

"Enter battle phase!"

"The Shadow of the Wall!"

"Attack the submachine gun!"

A pitch-black shadow moved swiftly across the wall, and suddenly a silvery-white claw slashed across, shattering the small aircraft summoned by the Time-Space Fighter - V-Snake!

"Beep beep beep—"

[You Shuo, LP: 2000 → 1120]

"Next!" The Miya brothers pointed to the six-star monster that Seto Kaiba had just summoned, "Hellish monster tamer, control the labyrinth worms and attack the vengeful stealth warrior!"

"The demons of hell will increase the attack power of the worms in the labyrinth by 500 points!"

"Furthermore, a surprise attack within a labyrinth will inevitably put the attacked monster at a disadvantage!"

"After gaining the advantage of restraint, the worms in the maze have increased their attack power by thirty percent!"

"Go! Hell Impact!!"

"pat-"

The Gong brothers had no intention of letting the demons of hell into the labyrinth; the monster's advantage could only be maximized when it was stationed at the rear.

The whip lashed out in mid-air, and the labyrinth worms, upon hearing the command, rumbled into the ground. A few seconds later, the giant worms, their bodies engulfed in hellfire, lunged at the vengeful stealth warrior!

"Beep beep beep—"

[Maze Worm, Attack Power: 1800→2300→2990]

This attack power of nearly 3000 was enough to easily crush the vengeful stealth warrior, but suddenly chains radiating evil light shot out from the darkness, binding the maze worms in mid-air!

The enormous, fat worm writhed and struggled wildly, and the demon from hell swung its long whip with all its might, but the chains imbued with powerful magic still held its prey firmly in place!

"Heh... It's easy to fall into a trap." Seto Kaiba chuckled as he flipped over the face-down card he had set up the previous turn. "Quick-Play Spell Card activated—Dark Curse!"

"Restrict all movement of the worms in the maze!"

"And reduce its attack power by 700!"

"Now we've finally caught that disgusting bug of yours!"

"What?!" The Maze Brothers were both shocked.

Currently, the Labyrinth Worm is not only their strongest monster, but also the core link of their tactics. Once the Labyrinth Worm is captured and destroyed, the Hell Monsters will also lose their reason for existence.

The giant insect with sharp teeth struggled incessantly, but the iron chains remained tightly bound to it.

A fierce glint appeared in Seto Kaiba's eyes: "Are you scared?"

"Your boring arena, frankly speaking, also uses dueling rules~"

"As long as I summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, I can destroy this disgusting worm with an attack of extreme power!"

"Even if we don't get out of the maze yet, as long as I can empty your LP, my victory is the same!"

Chapter Seventy: A Shadowy Ambush! Landmine Spiders!

"Tsk..."

"How awful..."

Sweat beaded on the faces of the Maze Brothers.

They certainly knew how powerful Seto Kaiba was, and they understood even more how terrifying the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was!

The Gong brothers said solemnly, "Set one card face down, end the turn!"

You Shuo looked towards the battlefield.

Although he and Seto Kaiba did not coordinate at all, they still seemed to be able to suppress the enemy.

Taking advantage of Seto Kaiba's overwhelming pressure, Yu Shuo decided to make the Hyperdimensional Fighter - V-Snake break through the maze as much as possible!

"My turn! Draw a card!" You Shuo exclaimed. "Activate the Spell Card—Pot of Greed!"

Draw two cards from your deck!

"Reactivate the mining of the magic stone!"

"Discard two cards from your hand and add one Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand!"

"I choose to recover—the subspace matter transport device!"

"Time-Space Fighter - V-Snake, advance four squares, end of turn!"

Another subspace matter transport device?!

The maze brothers felt that one problem after another was brewing.

The entire maze is only fifteen squares in length and width, so its internal structure can't be too complicated.

The V-Snake, which has moved three times, is already very close to the exit. If You Shuo uses the effect of the subspace matter teleportation device to move forward and continues to move forward during his turn, then their maze will be broken!

"Tsk... This is really tricky!" The Mischievous Brothers clenched their fists, caught in a dilemma. "Right now, we can only destroy one magic card... Should we shatter the Dark Curse or the Subspace Matter Transfer Device...?"

At this moment, the Gong brothers gave him a wink.

The two, who had known each other for years, instantly reached a tactical agreement in secret. The brother's expression softened a little, and he turned his attention to You Shuo!

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Spell Removal!"

"Destroy the subspace matter transport device you placed!"

"Bam—"

A flash of light, and You Shuo's cards shattered into scattered fragments.

Next, the Mi Brothers played a spell card exclusive to the Labyrinth Field, a defensive card they had set up in the previous turn: "Spell Card Activation - Labyrinth Transformation!"

"This card will change the structure of the maze!"

"After being rebuilt, the labyrinth's worms no longer stand before the vengeful stealth warriors!"

"A new wall has appeared between the two monsters. The vengeful stealth warrior must advance at least four squares if he wants to attack the maze worm!"

My turn is over!

The transformed maze not only increased the distance between the maze worms and the vengeful stealth warriors, but also trapped the chrono-space fighter-V-Snake, which was about to break out of the maze, in a dead end. Its distance from the maze exit increased from eight blocks to eleven blocks!

"No matter how you change it, the result will be the same!" Seto Kaiba sneered as he drew a card. "The fate of you small fry will surely be shattered by me!"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Shh-"

Seto Kaiba frowned: "Didn't he draw the Blue Eyes?"

"Then let this monster enter the arena!"

"Attack Stance Summon - Enhanced Gargoyle!"

"Move forward four spaces!"

"Click-click-click—"

In the light, a dark green stone statue appeared out of thin air, followed by falling dust and sand. The statue was miraculously given life, transforming into a powerful monster capable of movement and combat!

[Enhanced Gargoyle]

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Demon Race]

Attack/Defense: 1600/1200

[Description: A gargoyle strengthened by dark power. Beware of the grappling hook!]

"Then, the vengeful stealth warriors continue their advance!" Seto Kaiba waved his hand, "Destroy that bound monster!"

"Wait a minute! Seahorse!" You Shuo suddenly remembered something and shouted a reminder.

But the headstrong Seto Kaiba wouldn't listen to any advice: "Stop interfering with me, Yuuko! Just protect your fragile monster and rack your brains to get out of the labyrinth!"
