CH 15

“Reborn! Dark Magician!”

Jonouchi and Yugi were surprised at the same time: “What!?”

It was well known that the Dark Magician was the signature card of the duel king Yugi Mutou, and its rarity was second only to Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

Although it was not unique, at least so far, they have never seen anyone outside Yugi holding a Dark Magician.

The dark red coffin sank into the ground amid the billowing smoke, and a pitch-black vortex rolled up on the ground.

A beam of dark red light flew into the sky from the ground, and the slender body leaped into the air. A huge magic circle opened under his feet, and a turbulent dark air flow was poured out of it. The crystal green staff seemed to be drawn by the airflow and flew out of the magic circle. It swirled in mid-air like a boomerang and came to the master’s hand precisely.

The red figure swept the staff across, and a circle of transparent air burst out with him at the center, and the air lifted the dark red hem of his robe, showing no anger and pride.

[Dark Magician, ATK 2500]

The people around were unable to be calm, and many people started to applaud and cheer.

To actually see such a professional-level top match on the streets of the city, and there were also monsters such as Red Eyed Black Dragon, Meteor Black Dragon, and Dark Magician that were almost legendary to ordinary duelists, the audience went nut!

“Crap…Crap!” Yugi who was watching the battle looked solemn, “Jonouchi has declared an attack, but now that the Meteor Black Dragon has been returned to the Extra Deck, there is only low-attack Meteor Dragon left on his field! This will be counterattacked by the Dark Magician!”

Yuei Vu: “?”

Is there such a thing?

What about the Replay of the Battle Step?

No, before that, the Meteor Black Dragon who had just been ordered to attack by Jonouchi was no longer on the field! The objects have disappeared, how can the battle continue?

Then, Yuei Vu opened his eyes to see that the Dark Magician on his field shouted and flew in front of the Meteor Dragon. His palm slapped in the air, the powerful dark magic wave blasted out like a collapsing mountain, and the Meteor Black Dragon screamed and smashed into slag on the spot.

“Meteor Dragon!” Jonouchi shouted through gritted teeth.

【Jonouchi, LP 3200 → LP 2500】

Yuei Vu was stunned to see that his Dark Magician broke the opponent’s monster on his own initiative, and then folded his arms and landed lightly back on his field. Everyone was stupid for a while.

Wow, so the audience can still do the BISS for me?

The Meteor Dragon on the field in the castle was obviously summoned after he announced his attack, and so was the Dark Magician on Yuei Vu’s side. All the monsters that were originally fighting on both sides have disappeared, yet the battle can still continue!?

(Author’s note: According to the rules of Yu-Gi-Oh, if the number or control of monsters on the field changes during the battle step, a “replay” will occur, and players can freely choose to continue attacking or cancel.)

Then Yuei Vu immediately thought of a certain animation scene…

……

Yugi Mutou: “I will attack the ‘XYZ-Dragon Cannon’ on your field with ‘Sky Dragon of Osiris’! (1) Take it, Super Electrical Conduction Wave!”

Seto Kaiba: “Hahaha, at this moment I opened the card, ‘Interdimensional Matter Transporter’! I transferred XYZ-Dragon Cannon to another dimension! In this way, Osiris lost his attack target, and this attack is ineffective!”

Yugi Mutou: “Don’t think about using your BISS. If your monster is removed, it will cause a replay. Then I will use Sky Dragon of Osiris to attack you directly, and you lose the duel!”

Kaiba Seto: “You’re talking too much! The rules of the duel are set by me, if I say it is invalid, it is invalid!”

……

Well, the DM may indeed have no such argument during this period.

This further made Yuei Vu determined to go to President Kaiba to optimize the master rules, otherwise, he would be killed by BISS without knowing where he was wrong.

Hmm… But this time, forget it. (After all, I’m the one who was benefited)

“Then it’s my turn!” Yuei Vu said, “Fight! Dark Magician, directly attack Jonouchi!”

The Dark Magician flew up and pointed his green staff forward. A transparent vortex rolled up on the staff, and the magic wave pierced through the body inside Jonouchi like an arrow.

The latter snorted softly, bent knees involuntarily under the impact, and was penetrated by the three-dimensional image of dark magic from the front chest to the back.

[Katsuya Jonouchi, LP 2500 → LP 0]

Katsuya Jonouchi was defeated.

……

Ten minutes later, several people returned to the card shop.

“Ah, ah! I’m so unwilling to lose!” Jonouchichi stretched his arms and said unhappily.

“No way, it’s because the opponent is too strong.” Yugi smiled.

“But no matter how you say it, I’m also the runner-up in the Duelist Kingdom. It’s a bit too embarrassing to rub off a little blood at the end.” Jonouchi said with a sigh.

Indeed, although the process seems to be very intense, at the end of the fight, Yuei Vu only lost 100LP.

Yuei Vu chuckled: “It’s just luck.”

It’s not that he’s modest. There’s an element of luck in playing cards. It’s not that everyone can start out like Yamu Yugi, and if they have that ability, they must be able to beat the mainstream with any entertain deck they play, right?

After playing this duel, he was in a good mood. The experience gained from winning against Jonouchi was comparable to the sum of the experience he has tortured passers-by for half a week!

In this way, I can go to the system card pool again tonight.

“Too humble, you are one of the most powerful duelists I have ever met.” Jonouchi said seriously, and then the conversation changed, “But losing this time doesn’t mean it will be the same next time! If I meet you in here, I will not show mercy anymore!”

“No problem at any time. ” Yuei Vu readily agreed, but then reminded, “But if you don’t have a Duel Disk, you can’t compete, right?”

Jonouchi was instantly petrified.

It seems…that’s the truth.

He was into the game so much just now that he even forgot why he started playing in the first place…

Anzu also smiled helplessly: “Yes, because the duelists Jonouchi only have 2 stars, and the evaluation given by Kaiba is ‘horse bone’, so there is no way to participate in the competition…”

“Ah, ah, damn it! That bastard, Kaiba!”

Seeing that Jonouchi had another breakdown, his good friend Honda quickly grabbed him and dragged him out of the store.

Anzu and Yugi also withdrew. However, Yugi stopped for a while before leaving and turned around at the door.

“Then I’m sorry to disturb you today,” he said.

Yuei Vu waved his hand: “It doesn’t matter, welcome to come again next time!”

If he could, he even wanted to duel Jonouchi every day to gain experience…

“Yeah!” Yugi nodded, “Let’s do our best in the Battle City competition!”

Finally, they all left.

Yuei Vu turned his head and found that Chika-chan was staring straight at him again at this moment, the look in his eyes that seemed to contain some unknown impulse startled him.

“How… how?”

“It’s nothing.” Chika-chan said seriously, “I’m just a little surprised, you’re different from what you look like. You seem to be not that impotent…”

Hey, what does it mean to look different? And you always thought I was an embroidered pillow?

And it must be done, how can a man say “I’m impotent”?

TL’s note: Because of the plot’s requirement, this translation will use “Sky Dragon of Osiris” instead of its TCG name “Slifer the Sky Dragon”
