Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 12 The Hidden Darkness

"Muda! (Useless)"

Kiryu Kagura reached out and pressed the button on the Duel Disk: "Trap Card! Infernal Trap Hole!"

"When your opponent Special Summons an Effect Monster with 2000 or more ATK, negate its effect and destroy it!!"

The giant plant had barely sprouted when it was pushed back down, destroyed again, and sent to the graveyard.

"I see."

Yosaki Mio looked at the Mist King on the opposing field with a serious expression:

"The King of Mist has sealed off high-level summons, so you guessed I would definitely use a resurrection spell card like Monster Resurrection to summon a high-level monster, right?"

"So you set up this trap in advance, completely thwarting my plan to counterattack using a higher-level monster."

She exclaimed, "Brilliant tactics, perfect blockade, and powerful strategic ability! It's such a privilege to fight a duelist like you!"

A newfound determination shone in Yosaki Mio's eyes: "However, I am definitely not the kind of duelist who would fall in this situation!"

"I reveal the last card I set to face down last turn!"

"Magic Cards, Mining Magic Stones!"

She drew two cards from her hand: Frosty Angel Queen of the Rose and Double Summon, and sent them to the Graveyard: "Discard two cards from your hand, and return one Spell Card from the Graveyard to your hand!"

"I choose, the dead shall be resurrected!"

The Dead Reborn popped out of her graveyard, and Yosaki Mio immediately inserted the card into her Duel Disk.

"Spell Card! Monster Resurrection! Activated Again!"

As the Resurrection Symbol flashes across the Duel Arena, a card pops out of her Graveyard.

"What I resurrected was still a giant plant!"

A colossal monster, blotting out the sky, emerged from the ground, its massive size and hideous face exuding an oppressive aura.

[Giant plant, attack power 2400]

Yosaki Mio excitedly pumped her fist. "Great! Next, all we need to do is summon the Giant Plant twice and use its effect to revive Rin Angel: Queen of the Roses from the graveyard."

At that time, she will have two monsters with 2400 attack power on the field, while the opponent will only have one Mist King with 2400 attack power on the field. One monster will perish together with the Mist King, and the other will attack directly, which will clear out Kagura Kiryu's LP in one fell swoop!

To her surprise, Kagura Kiryu not only remained calm but also revealed a sly smile: "This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

He waved his arm, and the last trap card on the field was revealed: "Trap Card, Dark Demon Resurrection Coffin! Activate!"

"When your opponent successfully Summons or Special Summons a monster, send that monster and 1 Spellcaster monster you control to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 DARK Spellcaster monster from your Deck and Graveyard!"

Kagura Kiryu smiled and said, "I choose your giant plant and my killer tomato to send to the graveyard, and revive my Dark Magician from the graveyard!"

"Giant plant, become my sacrifice once more!"

The wisps of white smoke transformed into vengeful spirits, dragging the two monsters into a pitch-black coffin and sealing it tightly.

When the coffin was opened again, the black-clad magician coldly opened his eyes, and the aura of a top-tier magician swept across the field, returning to Kagura Kiryu's territory once more.

[Dark Magician, Attack Power 2500]

Yosaki Mio stared at the Dark Magician on the field, unable to recover for a long time.

"You even planned for me to be able to resurrect the dead?"

Her fingers trembled slightly, and her expression as she looked at Kagura Kiryu even carried a hint of fear: "How is this possible? This kind of effortless tactic, this ability to have everything under control, it's simply... simply..."

The king of the dueling arena.

"I...I set a monster face down. End of turn."

A covered card appeared in the monster zone.

"My turn, draw a card."

Kagura Kiryu draws a card and then attacks immediately:

"Battle begins, Mist King! Attack the face-down monster on Mio's field!"

Upon receiving the order, the King of Mist loyally raised his longsword and swung it down.

The attacked monster turned around and revealed itself to be a gummy bear.

The tiny jelly bean character crouches on the field, holding a short sword and a shield.

However, although its attack power is 1750, its defense power is only 0.

[Gummy Bean Man, Defense 0]

The gummy bear confidently defended, then collapsed in a flash.

"Next, Dark Magician! Attack Mio directly!"

"Dark Magician!"

The dark magician gathers his magic power, unleashing the ultimate technique of dark magic, the Dark Magician, and the pitch-black magic power washes over Yosaki Mio.

As the magic bullet drew ever closer, Yosaki Mio finally sighed and smiled, "A beautiful duel."

【Yasaki Mio: LP200→LP0】

As her health points were depleted, Yosaki Mio fell to the ground. Kagura Kiryu quickly and gentlemanly approached her and helped her up.

He thought the girl would be unhappy with his relentless fighting style, but to his surprise, Yosaki Mio tightly grasped Kagura Kiryu's hand: "You're amazing!"

Her eyes sparkled: "I feel like I'm completely part of your scheme, being manipulated like a toy!"

Kagura Kiryu: ......

What nonsense are you spouting! You're making me sound like some scumbag who just played with your body!

"Let's do one more game! Let's do one more game!"

Like a masochist, Yosaki Mio's face even flushed a honey-like blush: "Let me experience your power once more!"

That's enough! If you keep saying that, I'm going to get taken to the police station!

Um, judging by your age, it seems like you'd be the one sent to the police station. What are you saying to a minor who's supposed to be a minor?

In the end, Kagura Kiryu reduced his card playing from three times a day to once a day, thus saving himself from exhaustion.

The audience members also came to their senses, and many duelists went up to applaud them.

"A beautiful duel, from which I have learned a great deal."

"You two are both very powerful duelists. I wish I could be as strong as you one day."

"You two, keep up the good work in Duel City! I hope to see the day when you become legends."

Kagura Kiryu noticed that the attitudes of passersby had improved significantly, and some even had a hint of admiration in their eyes.

Indeed, in this world, playing your cards well is more useful than anything else.

If someone is good-looking, their popularity will definitely be high.

The two quickly returned home, but in a corner unnoticed by anyone, a dark shadow was also watching them.

If you listen carefully, you can hear him seemingly whispering to someone, which sounds mysterious and repressed.

"Found it..."

"He is the Master of Black Magic, one of the strongest duelists in history..."

"His danger far exceeds that of the nameless pharaoh who later returned to the underworld."

"Prepare quickly to nip it in the bud...for our greater cause!"

"Yes, my lord!"
