CH 199

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the duel area in the Kaiba company building.

As for whether he could win against President Kaiba, Yuei Vu actually had no idea in his heart.

Even though he had a tie with Yami Yugi, he didn’t think that his strength was about equal to that of a Duel King. If he really thought so naively, he would undoubtedly suffer a big loss in the future.

As for the result of this duel, Yuei Vu actually felt a little entangled.

If Yuei Vu won, it was foreseeable that the president will continue to pester him endlessly in the future. Imagining that in the future, the president would grab himself to play cards as if he is obsessed with the game, made Yuei Vu feel his scalp tingling.

But it would be a pain in the ass to lose. Maybe the president seemed to have a good impression of him now, but that’s all based on the fact that Yuei Vu is his “recognized opponent”.

However, if Yuei Vu lost easily, he wouldn’t be surprised even if the Favorability he accumulated with the president so far has dropped to a negative number in one fell swoop.

At that time, maybe after the duel ended, the president would kick him out at light speed and let him pack up and leave.

So in fact, President Kaiba’s benchmark for judging people was actually quite simple. In the eyes of the president, there were two types of people in the world: those who could play cards with him and those who couldn’t…

At this moment, the two sides have already stood in their respective field areas and opened the Duel d=Disk.

Kaiba drew five cards, waved his arm and raised his voice, and shouted: “Don’t dawdle and give it to me, Yuei Vu! Let me see if you have grown up after the Battle City!”

“Duel!” x2

【Yuei Vu, LP 4000】

[Kaiba, LP 4000]

“It’s me who goes first, draw!” This time, Yuei Vu got the first move.

He was lucky here. His starting hand included the famous “Greed Hero”, which was also drawn out by smashing crystals frantically after he harvested leeks recently.

So of course Yuei Vu has nothing to hesitate to choose to earn +1 advantage first: “I summon ‘Elemental HERO Bubbleman’ in defense position!”

With a splash of special effects and flying water bubbles, the blue hero in armor appeared on the field with a loud cry, flicked his small cloak lightly, and made a coquettish pose.

[Elemental HERO Bubbleman, DEF 1200]

“When Bubbleman is successfully summoned, if I have no other cards on the field, I can draw two cards from your deck!” (anime effect)

That’s right, it only took one normal summon to earn a card, which was equivalent to the ability of the legendary Thousands Of Years Banned card “Pot of Greed”.

Even Yuki Judai, the protagonist of the GX animation, has relied on Bubbleman countless times to make a comeback, so this hero was also revered by the players as “The Greed Hero”.

Of course, with President Kaiba as his opponent, Yuei Vu definitely couldn’t just leave a Bubbleman standing on the field alone.

“Activate the Spell Card from the hand – Polymerization!” Yuei Vu directly played Polymerization, “I fuse Bubbleman on the field and the ‘Elemental HERO Clayman’ in the hand!

Fusion Summon! Elemental HERO Mudballman! ”

The stocky Clayman appeared, turned into a beam of light, and shot into the vortex on the ground together with Bubbleman. The ground cracked, gravel splashed, and water jets burst out. A hero in black spherical heavy armor appeared from the water column and stood in front of Yuei Vu in a half-squat.

[Elemental HERO Mudballman, DEF 3000]

Although this hero didn’t have any special abilities, his butt strength was as high as 3000 points. Even the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the hands of the president couldn’t shake it! (1)

“I end my turn.”

“Adopt a defensive posture? But this method will not work in front of me!”

Kaiba raised his voice, and that distinctive voice makes one feel that the president was full of passion every time he plays cards.

“It’s my turn, draw!” Without hesitation, Kaiba pinched out a Spell Card with two fingers, “Activate Ritual Spell – Advanced Ritual Art!

Send Normal Monsters from my Deck to the GY whose total Levels equal the Level of a Ritual Monster in my hand, and Ritual Summon 1 of that Ritual Monster! ”

He pulled out the deck from the Duel Disk, selected monsters, and threw them into the graveyard.

“From the deck, I send the Level 4 ‘Hitotsu-Me Giant’ to the GY!

Ritual Summon! Paladin of White Dragon!”

The holy light soared into the sky, and a holy knight in white armor descended from the beam of light, with a white dragon flapping its wings beneath him.

[Paladin of White Dragon, ATK 1900]

Of course, Yuei Vu was no stranger to this monster, and he soon realized what Kaiba was going to do next.

“The special effect of the Paladin of White Dragon…but of course, you should already know about it.”

Kaiba snorted and had already found the target card from the deck.

“It won’t work to fight with me with half-hearted awareness, Yuei Vu! Let me show you now!”

Kaiba held up the card in his hand.

“Tribute the ‘Paladin of White Dragon’, and perform a special summon from the deck!

Use the ultimate light to cut through the darkness and come to my side! My most loyal servant – Blue Eyes White Dragon! ! ! ”

The paladin dissipated with the blue light effect, and a domineering beam of light descended from the sky. The huge white dragon descended with flapping wings, stretched its neck, and roared as if warning anyone who dared to disobey its master.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000]

Kaiba glanced at the stocky hero on the Yuei Vu Field, twitched the corner of his mouth, and suddenly snorted.

“Yuei Vu, your next sentence must be ‘My Elemental HERO’s defense power is 3000, even Blue-Eyes can’t penetrate his defense this turn’, right?”

Yuei Vu: I really didn’t want to raise such a flag.

“But I’ll tell you right now, this meek defensive tactic won’t work in front of me!” Kaiba showed another card in his hand, “Activate the Spell Card – Burst Stream of Destruction!”

The Spell Card shared the same name as Blue-Eyes’s attack move, and its artwork was also a white dragon that was brewing an energy storm with its mouth open.

“Burst Stream of Destruction can only be activated when Blue-Eyes White Dragon is on the field. Destroy all monsters on the opponent’s field!” Seahorse shouted, “Feel the ultimate power of the white dragon!”

Blue-Eyes obeyed the order and opened his mouth, and a destructive energy light ball burst out of the air. The raging storm exploded on Yuei Vu’s field, easily tore through the defense line, and smashed the heavily armored hero into pieces.

“Hmph, in this way your field will be empty.” Kaiba sneered confidently, “And I haven’t performed the normal summon this turn yet.

I summon ‘Vorse Raider’ in attack position! ”

One of the four-star monsters with the highest appearance rate in the hands of the president reappeared. Wearing armor full of spikes, a demon with scarlet eyes appeared on the field, and the ax danced vigorously as if it was about to cut the space.

[Vorse Raider, ATK 1900]

“Battle! Vorse Raider, attack directly!”

The monster sprinted in front of Yuei Vu with a step forward and swung its ax down without saying a word. Yuei Vu subconsciously raised the Duel Disk to block it, and the image of the ax blade pierced through him with a virtual impact.

[Yuei Vu, LP 4000 → LP 2100]

“Hmph, Blue-Eyes White Dragon can’t attack during the turn when the ‘Burst Stream of Destruction’ is activated.” Kaiba snorted, seeming a little proud, “But the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that was specially summoned by the effect of ‘Paladin of White Dragon’ can’t attack this turn anyway.”

After finishing speaking, he crossed his arms: “It seems that your life is saved this turn, so cherish this opportunity. Set a card, I end my turn!”

TL’s note:

1. “Butt strength” in this novel is slang for the high DEF of monsters.
