Chapter 424 Select a Card
The hot lava fell, bringing the end of the duel. The audience outside the venue looked at this scene, some had strange expressions, or opened their mouths wide. The whole audience was strangely silent for a moment, with nothing to say.
Such a duel, representing the confrontation between the top masters in the world today, can be regarded as a duel for the top position.
Who could have imagined that it would end like this?
Lava Demon
And when the duel ended, before Yu Xuan put away the duel disk and the three-dimensional image projection disappeared, the burning Tie Hanhan seemed to turn around and glance at the seahorse behind him.
His eyes looked a little embarrassed.
The general meaning may be, I'm sorry for eating your dragon, but a duel is not a personal grudge.
Then the Lava Demon disappeared.
Kaiba let out a long breath.
He defended against the dragon's underworld pot, the mirror that specializes in killing light, and the opponent's ability to dig a deep hole in two steps.
Hell, he even defended against the "Dragon must die" race-specific Newspaper Dragon Destruction Swordsman.
He defended everything, and he should have defended everything.
Result Lava Demon
Of course he remembered this stuff. After all, he was also present when Mr. Ma from Duel City took out this thing for the first time.
At that time, Mr. Ma gave the Lava Demon to Jonouchi, and contributed to famous scenes such as "Jounouchi's Death" and "Jounouchi's Flame". At that time, everyone present was surprised that there were such monsters from the underworld in the world.
In fact, compared to those early days, Yu Xuan's Lava Demon God was actually slightly improved. The first effect of the Lava Demon God in Malik's hand was to give 700 points of damage during the preparation phase of the holder. However, ten years later, this card has also been slightly developed, and the damage has been upgraded to 1000 points, and it has become a harmonious card. The lava demon after being stuck is the same.
Of course, this mere 300 points of damage difference would generally not be taken seriously by anyone.
However, Kaiba, who has experienced it firsthand, can feel that it is not just about the development of monsters.
Yu Xuan's ability to control the Lava Demon God card has already surpassed Mr. Ma, the founder of this genre.
Mr. Amaluda, who was treated by the Lava Demon's repeated jumps last time, would probably feel the same way about this. Compared with this person, Malik is almost like a sunny boy. There is absolutely no irony in the literal sense.
"Ahem, the winner - Fujiki Yugen!"
It was the experienced referee Isono who was the first to break the silence and announce the result.
If another referee from the Kaiba family saw that their president had lost, they would probably have to look at the president's eyes before pronouncing the verdict. But Isono has been with the president for many years and knows his boss's temper well. No matter what the process is, the president only recognizes victory or defeat.
If you lose, you lose. He will not act like "the victory or defeat just now does not count".
"elder brother!"
Keppei jumped on stage.
Kaiba gestured to him to indicate that it was okay.
Then he walked towards You Xuan.
"Only half a year. Heh, to be honest, when I invited you to compete half a year ago, I really didn't expect you to reach such a high level in such a short period of time."
"Luckily." You Xuan nodded.
That's exactly what he had in mind. During the duel, he actually subtly noticed that his condition was stronger than before. It must have been partly due to this "sealing weapon".
Although there seemed to be no obvious signs of the artifact being activated, he could feel the increase in his "power", or the role it played in helping him resist the opponent's powerful "power".
No wonder the dark duelists are willing to put themselves at risk in order to grab artifacts, props or cards with power, and often fight to the death. Even if extraordinary things are only held without being summoned or used, they may be a powerful improvement in strength.
Of course, this is very metaphysical, and it may also depend on the properties of the props and how to open them.
For example, You Xuan has held this sealing weapon for a long time, and he has played many life-betting cards before, but so far he has not seen any obvious effects.
It was only at the beginning of this duel that he seemed to feel the effects.
Maybe it’s because the opponent is Atum’s old enemy of three thousand years, Kaiba, or maybe it’s because this duel is about who will face the final BOSS judge—after all, this artifact only exists to face him.
"You have proven your mettle as a duelist, congratulations."
Kaiba said calmly.
"According to Duel City rules, you can choose any card from me."
"Thank you very much, President." You Xuan said, "But I was invited to participate because I received a gift from the President as a condition. In the past six months, I have been taken care of by the President, Keppei and the Kaiba Group many times.
So let’s avoid it between us, I’ve already chosen the card that needs to be chosen.”
He said that sincerely. If you really want to count, he got more than one rare card from the president? Over the past six months, he went to the president's warehouse at regular intervals to move boxes and boxes back, and he received so many benefits that he couldn't even count them.
It's okay to assume that the rare cards in this game have already been paid in advance.
But Kaiba snorted heavily.
"If you win, you win. Don't be whiny. Choose one. Even if you choose the blue-eyed dragon, I will never frown."
You Xuan deeply feels the righteousness of the president. President Kaiba has always said that one is one and two is two. If he insists on not choosing or randomly picks a worthless card, he might offend him.
But even if the president said so with dignity.
You Xuan felt helpless.
No, I don't even have a white dragon, what's the point of your Blue-Eyes Light Dragon?
As a mascot?
The same goes for other cards in the White Dragon system. After all, the entire system revolves around the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. No matter how rare or powerful the card is, without the White Dragon, wouldn't it all be a mascot?
You Xuan thought for a moment and didn't know what to name, but suddenly he had an idea.
"By the way, President. Just asking casually."
You Xuan thought for a while and asked.
"I heard that there were actually four 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons' in the world. Is it true that the fourth one is also kept by you now?"
Kaiba raised his eyebrows.
Then he suddenly chuckled.
"Huh? You want the power of Blue Eyes?"
"Just a question." You Xuan shrugged, "Of course I just heard the rumor and I don't know if it's true or not. If it doesn't exist."
"Humph, even if it doesn't exist, what's wrong with giving you a Blue Eyes? Do you think I, Kaiba Seto, look like someone who can't stand losing?"
You Xuan was silent.
No, he had no doubt that the president couldn't stand losing. He knew that even if there were only three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, the president would probably give him one if he specifically asked for it.
But if that happened, there would definitely be no peace in the future. President Kaiba would never give up until he wins back that Blue Eyes.
But if the legendary fourth card really exists.
"Yes." Kaiba said frankly, "That card does exist."
