Chapter 138 Undercurrents Flowing Into Duel City
In a private room of a luxury cruise ship, a brown-skinned boy holding a golden cane, looked at the cloaked men gathered in front of him, and said: "I didn't expect that we would end up in a miserable defeat after two rounds of fighting with the Millennium Blocks. Is this the execution you promised me?"
"Master Malik... please give me another chance!" A cloaked man who looked short, fat and strong said to Malik, "This time, the Dark Mask and I will personally help you solve Kaiba Seto and Muto Yugi!"
"You have failed twice in a row, and you still expect me to give you a chance? Don't think too much!" Malik tightened the Millennium Tin Staff in his hand, looking at these two subordinates who were more likely to cause trouble than to achieve success in anger.
Light and Dark Mask was originally a more powerful figure under Malik. He had a dark duel energy of level 8. Such a person could already be the leader or second in command in ordinary organizations, but he was only at the upper-middle level in Gurus.
"I'm so sorry!" Another tall and thin man in a cloak also knelt down and pleaded with Malik in fear and trepidation: "Please punish us, leader! But please give us a chance to redeem ourselves!"
"But since you apologized so sincerely, I'm not going to give you a chance." Malik seemed to suddenly remember something, stood up from his chair, and said to another tall man beside him: "Lishid, have they rested well? Bring them here."
After hearing this, Lishid just stood up and left without saying a word, as if he didn't want to speak at all.
After this taciturn man left the meeting room, the other Gurus present were restless.
[Who is coming? ] This question filled the hearts of the Gurus.
Soon, the door of the meeting room opened again, and two weak pink-haired girls walked in.
They were two of the three people who attacked Bekas and Isis. One of them also snatched the God Card in that attack and finally handed the two God Cards to Gurus.
"Albing? Gracefa? You are not dead?!"
"Where is Shota? Why don't you see him?"
"Did Bekas do anything to you?"
...
"Quiet!" Malik interrupted the Gulus, then he turned to the Light and Dark Mask who was kneeling on the ground in fear and trepidation and said: "Light and Dark Mask, if you want to regain my trust, you must win the duel with the Sidsil sisters to prove your ability. Then..." Malik turned around again and looked at Lishid and the pink-haired Sidsil sisters who had just entered the door and said: "You need to prove in the duel that the object of your loyalty is not Bekas, and at the same time prove that your strength has not regressed. I think this should be very simple-the hypocrite will not let you use the dark game to kill people for no reason-if you win, then the next part of the 'Duel City' will be left to you. Do you understand?"
"Understood." x2, the twin girls put their right hands on their chests and nodded in unison.
All the Gurus present could see that the pair of sisters who were lively before were now completely like tools, without any feelings, and some even suspected that they no longer had any feelings. The feeling they gave people now... Several Gurus thought of this and couldn't help but look at the big man who never spoke and stood behind Malik again.
Lishid.
"Then, in ten minutes, in the lounge of the cabin, I will personally preside over the dark game ceremony between you." Malik returned to his throne and supported his chin with one hand and said, "I think this should be a very interesting duel."
Ten minutes later, in the lounge of the luxury cruise ship, the dark duel presided over by Malik Ishdar himself had begun. Neither side used the duel disk, but carried out this life-and-death duel on a stone table.
"I don't need to tell you the rules, right? Everyone cannot attack in the first round." Malik tapped the stone table with the Millennium Staff in his hand, and a stream of black air surrounded the Light and Dark Mask and the twin sisters. Looking at the increasingly thick black fog, the Light and Dark Mask began to get nervous, while the eyes of the twin sisters opposite were still as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Just like, the sacrifice that will be offered to the deepest darkness of the Millennium Staff will definitely not be them.
Looking at the two parties who are about to start the duel, Malik thought in his heart: [Start the duel, let me see what card you two found from Bekas that allowed you to escape from Bekas' pursuit with this body of a candle in the wind... If I am satisfied, I may use the power of the "Millennium Staff" to let you live a little longer. 】
In Malik's eyes, the twins were already truly candles in the wind at this time, and the life of the elder sister Albing seemed to be dying in his eyes in the next second. The root cause of all this is a card in their decks, which is gradually absorbing the vitality of the two sisters.
In the action of snatching the three mythical gods, the "blood bottle" used to provide vitality was the younger sister Gracefa, and it was the older sister Albing who left with "Ra's Winged Dragon" and "Osiris' Sky Dragon". This was Malik's decision, and the two sisters did not refuse.
But now it is the older sister who is more vulnerable. Does this mean that when this card absorbs their vitality, it chooses to absorb the older sister who has more vitality reserves first? Or can the two sisters take the initiative to choose who will be absorbed first?
Moreover, there is another point. Tsuchiya Shota, the strongest of the three people who acted with them at the same time, did not come back. He must have died on the island of Bekas, but it is unknown whether he died at the hands of Bekas or was sucked to death by that card.
"Duel! / Duel." x2, the four people in front of the stone table started the duel at the same time.
[Special rules of the dark game inside Gurus: the person who draws five cards first attacks first. ]
The Mask of Light drew five cards at lightning speed and grabbed the first attack for his side.
The twins didn't react, and casually gave up their precious first attack.
"It's my turn, draw a card!" Mask of Light drew a card, looked at it and grinned: "I cover a monster, then cover two cards, and the turn ends."
Looking at the defense he had set up, Mask of Light seemed very proud, [Hehe, our deck is specially strengthened to deal with the terrible Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba! My cover card is "Holy Comet Mirror Force" and a "Sacrificial Sealed Mask" reserved for my partner "Dark Mask"! If it were him, he should have drawn "Cursed Soul Mask" by now, right? In this way, no matter how powerful the monsters you use, you can't stop us, you will only fall into despair step by step, and then watch your LP be reset in pain! ]
[Sacrificial Sealed Mask: Continuous Trap, (Animation) Effect: As long as this card exists on the field, the opponent cannot release the card under any circumstances. 】
【Mask of the Cursed Soul, Equip Magic, Effect: Monsters equipped with this card cannot attack. The controller of the equipped monster receives 500 points of damage during each of his preparation phases. 】
"My turn, draw a card." Grace, the younger sister of the twin sisters, took action first. Her fingers were slender and white, and when she pinched the cards, it seemed as if those cards would fall from her hands in the next second.
【Can this guy really do it? 】Mask of Darkness frowned. The opponent was obviously not in good condition, and how could such an opponent be a match for him and Mask of Light?
However, when Grace activated the first card, everyone present was surprised to see a small fire on the stone table. Grace activated the magic card in her hand, and her LP dropped from 4000 points to 2000 points in an instant!
【Grace Law: LP4000→2000】
"What kind of card is this? It actually costs so much?" Mask of Light cried out in a moment. How terrible would the effect be if the card cost so much to activate?
"I activate it, huh..." Grace Law's voice trembled a little, as if the 2000 points that disappeared were not the game LP, but her real life. "When the evil magic spear... pierces the heart of God, all... the blood of God will be cursed! Magic card activated, 'Countdown to the End'!"
"Pop!" With a loud noise, it was just a thin card, but it cracked the stone table!
【Countdown to the End: Normal magic, effect: pay 2000 life points. 20 turns after this card is activated, you win this duel. 】
"What? Such a terrible card?!" Light and Dark Mask looked at the swaying flame, and the anxiety in his heart gradually surged up...
In the next 20 rounds, Light and Dark Mask was in pain and despair. The opponent did not summon even a monster from beginning to end, and the magic traps he specially prepared to deal with monsters were not useful at all. The twins used magic trap cards one after another to survive, and at the end of each round, there would be an extra ball of flame on the stone table. In the end, 20 balls of flame formed a ring... a period.
The countdown to the end ended, and Light and Dark Mask looked at the flame ring getting closer and closer to him in despair. The card in his hand fell to the ground and he was no longer able to pick it up.
"You didn't disappoint me." Malik walked forward, pointing the Millennium Staff in his hand at the defeated Light and Dark Mask, saying, "You know what kind of ending you will face if you fail in this situation."
"No... Lord Malik, please give us a chance, Lord Malik!" The Dark Mask rushed over and wanted to hug Malik's legs to beg for mercy, but Malik just turned away indifferently. The magic smoke formed by the Millennium Staff shrank, and the Light and Dark Mask just kept his original action, motionless.
The twins on the other side looked much better.
"This is your reward. I know you are very short of vitality now, so now there is a job that is most suitable for you." Malik waved his hand and said evilly, "Originally, it was also the task of these two wastes, and now it is handed over to you two."
