CH 231

After a while, Yuei Vu had already traveled with the VIP duelist of the Industrial Illusions, who was said to be the adopted son of Pegasus and came to the duel arena dedicated to Kaiba Corp.

President Kaiba watched from the auditorium with his arms folded, with a gloomy expression on his face. Nobody knew whether he was upset because Gekko dared to ignore himself to challenge Yuei Vu, or because Yuei Vu took away his chance to play this game…

The two sides in the audience were exchanging deck for shuffling, making the final preparations before the battle. And here Mokuba was holding a notebook, inquiring about the identity of Tenma Gekko, and at the same time verifying the authenticity of what the other party said.

Soon he raised his head in surprise: “Brother, this person seems to be the adopted son of Pegasus. And…he was once evaluated by Pegasus as ‘the perfect duelist’!”

“The perfect duelist?” Kaiba sneered, “Then this guy really doesn’t know who he is.”

Mokuba: “?”

My brother’s thinking jumps too fast, and I can’t keep up with the rhythm.

“Is it clear? To guard the so-called ‘perfect’ title, he just played with some weakling in a closed circle, like the mice who can only hide and hide in the underground world. But now he still dares to challenge the real strong.” Kaiba sneered, “Look like his title as ‘the perfect duelist’ can only be maintained until today.”

Mokuba: “Brother, you seem to have great confidence in Yuei Vu…”

“Hmph.” Kaiba snorted, neither admitting nor denying it.

“Duel!” x2

【Yuei Vu, LP 4000】

【Tenma Gekko, LP 4000】

“I’ll go first, draw!” Gekko’s first round was not muddled at all, “I summon ‘Hourglass of Life’ in defense position!”

A monster card was released, and a transparent hourglass appeared in the field. The red quicksand in the hourglass was constantly falling, with angel wings growing on both sides.

It was said that he was an angel in charge of life, and by cutting his own lifespan, he bestowed power on others.

[Hourglass of Life, DEF 600]

“Set another card, I end my turn.”

A Normie plus a set card. Looking at such a standard move, Yuei Vu couldn’t help thinking.

A Normie with a defense power of 600… Although it seemed normal in this era, it always gave him a premonition that there is a pit waiting for him to step on.

“It’s my turn, draw!” Yuei Vu glanced at the hand, and directly increased the card advantage without hesitation, “Summon Elemental HERO Bubbleman in attack position!”

The special effect of water flow appeared, and the bubble hero in blue armor appeared on the stage, and the cloak fluttered gently behind him.

[Elemental HERO Bubbleman, ATK 800]

“Bubbleman’s effect – When this card is Summoned, if there is no other card on my field, I can draw 2 cards.” Yuei Vu drew two cards, “Battle! Bubbleman, attack Hourglass of Life!”

Bubbleman had an attack power of 800, which was a full 200 points higher than Gekko’s defensive monster!

This hero may never wait for a chance to destroy an enemy in his entire life. This was simply the pinnacle of his life. Bubbleman shouted and jumped up, raising the water gun on the back of his hand, and the water flowed through the air like an arrow and shot out towards the “Hourglass of Life”.

Tenma Gekko waved his hand lightly: “Open the set card! Trap Card – Mirror Force!”

“What?” Yuei Vu was taken aback.

It wasn’t that he was surprised that the opponent had Hanoi’s holy power in his hands, but that he was surprised that the opponent used such an extravagant trap against a mere Bubbleman.

…Well, actually, it’s not too strange in terms of the DM environment. The current mainstream thinking of duelists in this environment was indeed like this – “Use trap cards to destroy the opponent’s monsters to reduce the number of monsters in advance, and at the same time keep the monsters on the field, so that in the next round, you can use the saved lower-level monsters as sacrifices to call out more powerful monsters and obtain suppression on the field.”

This was the most typical way of thinking at present.

The trap released the blue light. A layer of the hemispherical transparent shield was formed to protect the entire field of Tenma Gekko. The water stream of Bubbleman’s attack hit the shield directly, and under the action of a mighty force, it turned into an overwhelming stream of light and reflected back toward Bubbleman.

Bubbleman turned pale with shock in the face of the stream of light blasting down his head and face.

Fuck me, today I will be able to enjoy this kind of royal treatment!?

This is too much…

Yuei Vu quickly drew out a card in his hand: “Quick-Play Spell – Mask Change! Send 1 ‘HERO’ monster I control to the Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 ‘Masked HERO’ monster from my Extra Deck with the same Attribute!

""

I send ‘Elemental HERO Bubbleman’ to the GY!

Transform! Masked HERO Vapor! ”

The Spell card turned into a special effect of water flow that wrapped the whole body of Bubbleman. The streams of water transformed him into a blue and white exoskeleton armor, surrounded by a blue vortex of water.

[Masked HERO Vapor, ATK 2400]

The light of the holy protective shield passed the Masked HERO flatly, but the power was completely resisted by the blue vortex, and it failed to cause any impact.

“What?” Tenma Gekko was a little surprised, “The effect of Mirror Force is useless?”

“Masked HERO Vapor’s monster effect – he cannot be destroyed by any card effect.” Yuei Vu raised his hand and said, “Masked HERO Vapor, attack Hourglass of Life!”

The Masked HERO of the water flow shot out, and the sharp blade in his hand cut a white trail. The blade cut through the middle of the hourglass’ body sharply, and the red sand sprayed out from the gap like fresh blood.

“It’s amazing!” Mokuba, who was watching the battle, said, “As expected of Yuei Vu, he easily avoided such a powerful trap, and even counterattacked…”

Kaiba folded her arms and frowned slightly.

“Hmph, this Gekko is not exactly a third-rate duelist who can only brag about himself.”

“Ah?” Mokuba was taken aback, “But wasn’t he suppressed by Yuei Vu?”

""

“If Gekko didn’t activate the trap when he was under the attack of Bubbleman, his defensive monster would be destroyed. If Yuei Vu activated the ‘Mask Change’ after that, transform Bubbleman into Vapor to attack directly…”

“The effect of Mirror Force is useless against Vapor!” Mokuba realized, “In that case, he would have to take 2400 points of damage!”

“That’s right. But he uses the ‘Mirror Force’ on a trash fish monster whose attack power looks inconspicuous, thus Yuei Vu has to activate the ‘Mask Change’ in advance in order to keep his monster, sacrificing the number of attacks.” Kaiba said, “Although Gekko was in a mess, he managed to defend against this round of attacks.”

“This… is so powerful?” Mokuba asked in surprise, “Could it be that he knew in advance that Yuei Vu had a Mask Change in his hand…”

Kaiba shook his head: “Of course it’s impossible. But first-rate duelists have a kind of ‘card intuition’, and can quickly find the optimal solution in various situations by intuition. This guy is talented…”

After a pause, Kaiba turned his nostrils to the sky and snorted again.

“Of course, with the Duel King as the opponent, it’s normal to be suppressed. For being able to defend to this point, this guy is worthy of praise.”

Having said that, his eyes became hot again, and he turned to Yuei Vu.

After all, he was the man who defeated me!

If you lose to anyone other than me… I will never forgive you, Yuei ↑ Vu↓!
