Chapter 25 Game 4, Game VS Malik

According to Hayato's past personality, if the person holding these three types of cards in front of him was from Gurus, or someone he didn't know, Hayato would accept the three cards without hesitation.

Don't take advantage of the benefits delivered to your hands.

What's more, these three cards are not useless junk cards. There is no need to say more about [Genmei] and [Kusan], especially [Genmei]. As far as Hayato knows, although [Genmei] is also available in the system store, The effect is a weakened version, and the uncut version is probably only the one in Isis's hand.

Although the [Hard Selection] in the system has not been weakened, the price is quite outrageous at 30,000 DP points. With so many rich DP points, Hayato may be able to develop more reinforcement cards that are more suitable for his deck.

Even the [Explosive Bomb in Sacrifice's Embrace] in Isis's hand is her unique animation version of the card. Different from the actual card "activated when a monster summoned by a superior attacks, destroying all face-up monsters on the opponent's field and inflicting 1000 points of damage", this card of Isis can take effect from the time it is put down.

"Designate a monster to install a bomb, use that monster as a sacrifice to destroy the summoned monster when it attacks, and inflict damage to the opponent equal to the attack power of the monster equipped with a bomb." Compared with the real card version, the lower limit is lower and the upper limit is higher. Even gods will be destroyed because the bomb affects sacrifices instead of gods.

But Hayato was really embarrassed to accept the three cards: "Such a gift is too expensive. It's really not appropriate for me to accept it like this."

Seeing that Hayato was about to stuff the three cards back, Isis put her hand against Hayato's palm: "Then, consider them as my thank you gift. Thank you for teaching me the 'courage to transcend the future'."

"However, this strange feeling..." As she said this, Isis lowered her head and looked at the card in Hayato's other hand. Although she hadn't seen the card clearly yet, the card gave Isis a very strange feeling, quite familiar yet slightly strange.

Only then did Hayato remember the card he had just taken out of the system from the duel. Raising their hands, a monster card with a slightly subtle picture appeared in front of the two of them——

She wears white Egyptian clothing, gold jewelry all over her body, and a golden eye on her forehead. Although her hairstyle is slightly different from that of Isis, this monster card named [Miko Who Guards the Tomb] looks very similar to her. Isis?

"This card?" Isis looked at the card of [Miko Guarding the Tomb] and tilted her head in confusion. The [Tomb Keeper] deck should be the cards of the past clan leaders passed down by the Tomb Keeper clan. Why does Hayato have a [Tomb Keeper] monster card in his hand, and it is a [Tomb Keeper] monster card that he has never seen before. The appearance is very similar to his own. Tomb of the Miko]?

Just when Isis was confused, Hayato handed the card of [Miko Guarding the Tomb] to Isis. He also did not explain to Isis where he got this card: "[Grave Guarding Witch], unfortunately I am not using the [Tomb Guarding] deck."

"As expected, the card must be given to the right person. This card will be given to you, Isis. Although as a return gift, its value is not as good as the three cards you gave me."

"You are so gentle, Hayato-kun. You are not willing to take advantage at all. Well, if you must give me a card in order to accept my gift, I will accept it." Isis smiled. After taking Hayato's card, he added,

"But you are wrong about one thing. In my mind, the value of this card is not low at all."

As if she had received some precious gift, Isis solemnly received the [Grave Guarding Witch] into her deck.

Just when they were about to say something more, a cold voice came from not far away from the two of them: "Let's stop being gentle, my dearest sister, you're so big."

Turning around, he saw that Malik, who was holding the [Millennium Scepter], had already walked onto the duel field. With a malicious smile on his face, he looked at Hayato and Isis: "In the end, it is your victory, Hayato Kobayashi. But... Yes, if you are not the one who advances, how can I take [La] back from your hands?"

"Malik..." Isis called Malik's name, but Dark Malik was born from Malik's vicious personality in the darkness in his heart. Even Lixid could entrust Tapirang to kill him without any hesitation. What's more, Isis?

"It's too early to talk big, isn't it, six-year-old?" Hayato turned sideways and looked at Malik, "Obviously our duel has just decided the winner, why are you so impatient to go on stage?"

"Or are you already impatient to be defeated by the game?"

Now that the previous three duels have ended, although the grassy [Blue Eyes White Dragon Lottery Machine GO! GO! 】The players for the fourth duel have not been decided, but the only two people who have never dueled are Malik and Yugi.

Therefore, Malik no longer had to wait for the lottery machine to decide the duel sides, but went directly to the duel field and waited for the duel to begin.

"Hmph, Muto Yugi, I don't pay attention to either the container itself or the outdated pharaoh in the container." Malik looked arrogant, "In the end, the only ones who are qualified to defeat gods are gods. Even if I lose [La] now, the power of [Osiris] cannot be defeated by anyone."

Hearing Malik look down on him so much, Yugi who followed him to the duel, or Yami Yugi who was in control of his body at the moment, frowned: "[Sky Dragon of Osiris]? Although I don't know this last one yet. What effect do the three phantom gods have, but I believe that my trusted deck and I will defeat all enemies that stand in our way."

"Oh, even though you have witnessed the power of [Obelisk] and [Ra], unknown Pharaoh, you still have such blind confidence?" Malik said tit-for-tat with Yugi, "In that case, it will be up to you. This god of the underworld [Osiris] is here to crush your self-confidence."

"After you are defeated by me, remember to enjoy the fun of hell."

"If the same thing happens, I will give it back to you. I can't wait to see what kind of power [Osiris] has after I take it into my bag."

Isis and Hayato consciously gave up the place to the two people who were in a tense atmosphere with each other. Just like the last duel between Jonouchi and Mai, the duel between Hayato and Isis, who did not inject dark games into the duel monsters, did not cause any damage to the venue, so no corrections are needed. The fourth duel will be held soon. To begin.

However, although the two people on the duel field were all ready, Isono did not announce the start of the duel immediately.

In the previous duels, cameras arranged on the edge of the duel field captured the situation in the duel field from all angles, and then broadcast it live after a certain amount of lens switching. After all, in order to prevent any unexpected situations from happening during the duel, it is necessary to leave a few minutes to spare.

However, after all, it has been broadcast live for such a long time. Although the damaged camera was replaced due to [Obelisk]'s attack at the end of the first duel, there were some problems with the remaining cameras. In order to prevent the problem of missing important shots, the staff of Haima Group are urgently repairing the equipment.

Of course, because that guy from Kaiba was quite generous, the staff who worked overtime in such a harsh environment had no complaints at all. It would be better to say that they were actually quite happy to work overtime. After all, when the overtime pay was sufficient, who could refuse? Where's the money? The only one who was a little unhappy was Keppei.

"What do you mean by that? 'You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you're not a member of the family.' Brother, why is he always spending money so lavishly?" Keppei raised his head slightly and looked at Issei while holding a laptop and manipulating various data. Hayato, who returned to the auditorium with Si, complained.

Before Keppei could continue to Versailles, Hayato took the lead and ruffled Keppei's hair, holding back the words he was about to say, "If this continues, Kaiba Group will go bankrupt in less than a century." into the mouth.

While sitting in the auditorium to rest and wait for the staff to repair the camera, Hayato looked into the distance.

Although the previous duels were also very interesting, until now when he was free, Hayabusa noticed that it was a quite good experience to look at the distant scenery from the airship. Although, the dangerously named "Saint Annu" under their feet only looks like an airship.

A conventional airship should be composed of an inflatable bag that occupies the largest volume at the top to provide buoyancy, and a cabin fixed below the air bag. The cabin with the smallest volume ratio is the space that can be actually used.

However, the "Saint Ann" looks like an airship, but the airbags that were originally filled with low-density gas and cannot be used have been hollowed out. Not only can it be used normally, but it even carries a lot of heavy cargo, and even [ Blue Eyes White Dragon Lottery Machine GO! GO! 】This kind of strange thing with unknown meaning.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the Haima Group. Black technology is like ants moving from nest to nest.

"Saint Anno" was chosen as the duel venue for the second phase of the Duel City knockout round. Of course, it's not just because it's cool to duel on an airship. The main reason is that Kaiba has found a pretty good location for the final battle. ——Before the headquarters building of Kaiba Group was moved to Doshino City, it was located on an island, "Alcatraz Island".

It was a private island occupied by Kaiba Group before it transformed from an arms group. After Kaiba kicked his adoptive father, Kaiba Gozaburo, from the position of president, he did not hesitate to use this priceless island. The private island was abandoned along with the arms production line on the island.

However, Kaiba felt that this determination alone was not enough.

In order to completely bury the past, Kaiba decided to use Alcatraz as the final battleground in Duel City. In this way, he could completely trample everything about Kaiba Gozaburo under his feet while ascending to the throne of the Duel King.

The way to get to Alcatraz is the "airship" "Santo Ann".

But to be honest, if the destination is a distant overseas island, Hayato feels that it would be faster to fly there directly than by airship, whether it is to decide the finalists in Doshino City, or fly to Alcatraz Island and then duel them one by one. They are all faster and more convenient, and it’s not like Haima Group can’t afford transport planes.

After all, Kaiba was worried that he had become addicted to playing cards along the way, and he thought it would be cool to duel on an airship, so he chose to use the "Saint Ann", right?

While Hayato was cursing the unsuspecting Kaiba, the staff, who were very quick because they were given enough money, completed the repair of the photography equipment. The people waiting in the auditorium turned their attention back to the duel arena.

Kaiba, who had been standing since the beginning, didn't know whether he was tired or worried that his straight windbreaker would be crushed. He looked at the two people in the field solemnly: "The game, and the persistence." Malik, who has [Ra's Winged Dragon], has a more decent duel compared to the duel game between the three-legged cat and Hayato. ’

Jonouchi nervously held the railing and whispered to himself: "Come on, Yugi."

"The opponent is that Malik. I heard he is the leader of Gurus. Anyway, he seems to be a guy who is not easy to mess with." Peacock Dance patted Jonouchi's shoulder, "Anyway, he is the guy from Yugi after all. To him, Have more trust."

Isono on the referee's bench raised his hands.

"The fourth match of the Duel City quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals. The two players in the duel are Malik Isildar and Muto Yugi. Then I announce,"

"Game start!"

"Duel!" X2

[Game: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

[Malik: 4000LP, 5 cards in hand]

"I am the one who takes the initiative!" Malik drew the sixth card from the deck first. The deck he used was mainly demons and traps. Whether he had the initiative or not had a big impact on him. It's like whether the electronic dragon can hit the backhand.

"Sa, the nameless Pharaoh," Malik looked at the game on the opposite side and played a magic card from his hand. "From now on, let us enjoy the fun of hell together!"

"I activate the continuous magic card, [Black Snake Disease]!"

As Malik put the card in his hand into the magic trap card area of ​​the duel disk, under the influence of an invisible dark magic power, two dark poisonous snakes emerged from the shadows behind Yugi and Malik, and suddenly launched an attack and bite. It held the palms of two people.

"Uh!" Yugi was caught off guard and was bitten by a poisonous snake. He subconsciously waved his palm to shake the poisonous snake away, but when he raised his hand, although the pain remained, the black snake disappeared.

"The effect of [Black Snake Disease] is that in each of my preparation phases, I will give 200 points of effect damage to the duelists on both sides. After all, I don't really like lengthy duels. The journey to hell should be short and unforgettable, right? ?”

Malik had a ferocious smile on his face.
