Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City.

Chapter 186 The dark duel begins, the deep resentment hidden in the heart

"Entering the main phase 1, I will normally summon the monster card in my hand - [Melkido Four-faced Beast] (Demon/Dark/4 Stars/Attack: 1500/Defense: 1200) onto the field."

With a playful smile on his face, Dark Malik came to his turn again, waved his right arm, and slapped a monster card in his hand on the duel plate.

Following his movements, a monster that was constantly rotating itself and changing the four masks on its body appeared from the light and came to the front of his body.

After summoning this monster, Malik drew a new card alone.

"Next, I release the two monsters [Melkido Tetramon] and [Reborn Slime] on my field, and special summon the monster in my opponent's card!"

Dark Malik raised his right arm high, with a half-smiling expression on his face, and loudly shouted the name of the monster: "Come out! [Masked Monster Death Guardian] (Attack Power :3300)!!!”

Three distorted heads with masks gathered together to form an extremely strange picture. On the chest of the twisted masked monster, you can see the figure of a pious martyr.

Under Dark Malik's call, this [Masked Monster Death Guardian] that had been used by Gurus' cadre - Mask of Light and Darkness appeared on Dark Malik's field. .

"Huh? That monster is..."

"The monster summoned by the Mask of Light and Darkness before!"

Following the tactic of infinite slime regeneration that was used to disgust people, Dark Malik now used the 8-star monster that once forced Wang Yang and Kaiba into a desperate situation.

When they saw the monster appearing on Malik's field, Kaiba and Wang Xiang, who had previously fought against Gurus' cadres, had a look of astonishment on their faces.

The originally dead memories once again emerged from the depths of the sea of ​​​​memory, launching an undisguised direct attack on the two people who were stunned on the spot.

"Fight! Go, [Masked Monster Death Guardian], attack [Harpy Queen]!"

On one side is an 3300-star monster with an attack power of 8, and on the other side is a 1900-star monster with an attack power of 4. The outcome of this battle is almost obvious.

If nothing else goes wrong, Peacock Dance will suffer huge damage from the difference in the attack power of the two monsters when the monster is destroyed by Dark Malik.

"Hey, Malik, I won't let your plan succeed!"

Seeing the Masked Monster summoned by Dark Malik sprinting towards him, Peacock Dance frowned. While raising his arm, he opened the cover card in the backcourt: "Continuous Trap Card ——[Screen Mirror Wall] activates! According to the effect of this card, the attack power of all monsters on the opponent's field is reduced to half the value!"

-

[Screen Mirror Wall]

(Continuous Trap Card)

effect:

When the opponent's monster declares an attack, "Screen Mirror" halves the opponent's monster's attack power.

-

Unlike the real cards that were attached with huge costs and restrictions after being transformed into OCG, this card activated by Peacock Dance does not need to pay any maintenance price.

As the effect of the trap card was activated, countless crystal pillars immediately rose up, forming a protective wall, blocking [Masked Monster Death Guardian] in front of him.

The attack that was supposed to destroy the [Harpy Queen] with all the strength of the Masked Monster was blocked by the effect created by the trap card.

At the same time, the attack power of [Masked Monster Death Guardian] also became half of its previous value.

([Masked Monster·Death Guardian] Attack power: 3300 → 1650)

"Malik, in this way, the attack power of your monster will be lower than that of my monster!"

Keeping the movement of extending her arms, Peacock Wu seized this opportunity and issued a counterattack command to the monster on her field: "[Harpy Queen], destroy that monster for me!"

A warm breeze automatically generated around the body of [Harpy Queen], and then turned into sharp blades, tearing the body of the Masked Monster that attacked her into countless pieces in an instant.

As the high-star monster that was finally summoned was destroyed, Malik also received a subtle counterattack damage of 250 points.

(Dark Malik LP: 2600→2350)

"Great! Everything now is under Wu's calculation!"

Seeing Peacock Wu defeat Malik's high-star monster with exquisite tactical arrangements, the excited Jonouchi immediately clenched his fists and let out an inspiring shout.

However, Wang Xiang, who had experienced the effects of this monster before, frowned at this moment.

If he remembered correctly, the next step should be...

"Hehehe... At the moment when I was destroyed and sent to the cemetery, I activated the last words effect of [Masked Monster Death Guardian]!"

Pointing to Peacock Dance's frontcourt, Dark Malik continued with a proud look on his face: "When [Masked Monster Death Guardian] is sent from the field to the graveyard, you can use one face-up on the opponent's field to indicate Activate it as a target monster, use one [Mask of the Last Word] from the deck as an equipment card, and equip it to the target monster."

A ferocious mask with multiple barbs inlaid around it and a red color as a whole flew toward the [Harpy Queen] like a facehugger, wrapping her head inside in one breath.

As the effect of the equipped magic card took effect, [Harpy Queen], who was brainwashed by the mask, floated uncontrollably in the direction of Dark Malik and became his monster.

"What? What happened? Why did my monster..."

Unable to understand the current situation for a moment, Peacock Wu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

At that time, it was obvious that his monster had destroyed the Masked Monster summoned by Malik, but why did it become like this?
What on earth happened? ? ?
"Hehehe... According to the effect of the equipped magic card [Mask of the Last Word], I can gain control of the opponent's monster."

At this time, it's Dark Malik's turn.

After the battle phase, he came to the main phase 2 of this round. While explaining the current situation, he inserted a card from his hand into the duel plate and activated it: "Taking this opportunity, I will clean up the obstruction. Trap card! Activate the magic card [Trap Demolition] to destroy a face-up trap card on the opponent's field." Aiming at the permanent trap card on the Peacock Dance Field - [Screen Mirror Wall], Dark Malik started from his hand A card with a targeted effect was taken out of the deck.

Following his actions, the trap card previously activated by Peacock Dance, which could halve the attack power of the monsters on his field, was immediately destroyed in the next moment and sent to the graveyard.

"My round is over, okay...woman, let me see what you are going to do next! Humph hahahahahahaha!!!"

Smiling like a six-year-old naughty child, Dark Malik took the initiative to hand over the initiative of the round to Peacock Dance on the opposite side.

"Well……"

Seeing his monsters being driven away by his opponents, and the trap cards used to weaken his opponents being destroyed in a targeted manner, Peacock Wu, who felt a little powerless for a moment, couldn't help but frown.

What should I do next?
"Damn it, if the current situation continues, we won't be able to deal with the monster blocking Malik at all... If this continues, Wu will never be able to give that guy a fatal blow..."

"No, it doesn't matter... Judging from Wu's current state, the situation can be controlled!"

"Miss Wu... come on!"

Observing the state of the field, the members of the family and friends group couldn't help but sweat over the current peacock dance.

Fortunately, Malik's round has ended, and next will be Peacock Dance's round. She still has a chance to regain the advantage at this time!

"The only thing I need to pay attention to in this duel is that I must not let Malik summon the Sun God... Otherwise, once the strongest God Card appears, it will be difficult for me to win the duel. , therefore, I must decide the winner before then..."

Peacock Wu was thinking about the response plan in his mind, thinking about the gains and losses. While squinting his eyes slightly, he pulled out a new card from the top of the deck: "It's about to go! Malik, next, I want to let Look at the power of my deck!"

"Oh? That really makes me look forward to it!"

Malik had a classic expression on his face and licked his lips greedily. While saying this, he took out his thousand-year-old tin staff from his waist and pointed it in the direction of the peacock dance.

"Since just now, the gang of guys watching the fight have been hindering me. Just take this opportunity to make you, the woman who is my opponent, a sacrifice to the darkness, and then end this duel!"

"……what?"

"Woman, did you hear that? Next, I will use you as a sacrifice for the dark game. At this moment, the warm-up activity is over!"

"Warm-up?"

A look of astonishment flashed across his face subconsciously, and Peacock Wu, who was quick-thinking, quickly reacted and realized what Dark Malik wanted to express: "You mean... you didn't even start taking it seriously just now?"

"Hehehe...that's right!"

Swinging the thousand-year tin staff in his hand, Dark Malik responded to Peacock Dance with an evil smile: "I said, from now on, the real duel begins! Next, the dark duel will begin!"

Everyone: "What...?!"

"Hahahahahahaha! The realm of dark duel has been opened... As a result, no one can leave here before the duel is over!"

As Dark Malik's words fell, with him as the center, the entire surrounding space was shrouded in darkness for an instant, with a layer of dim color attached.

In this slightly heavy atmosphere, Dark Malik stretched his arms wantonly and laughed like no one else was there.

"……what is this?"

It was the first time I experienced the peacock dance of the Dark Duel in person, and I felt that my body had become heavier.

Looking around the space covered by darkness, a panicked look appeared on her face: "Everything around is wrapped in dark and heavy fog. What is the current state..."

"Hehehehe... feel honored, woman!"

The "Eye of Truth" in the center of his forehead shone with golden light, and Dark Malik, who showed an artistic expression, announced her next fate to Peacock Dance in a proud tone: "From now on, I will let you Experience what the most terrifying game in the world is!"

"Well, this strange black fog that permeates the surroundings is not caused by the height of the flying ship..."

"This sudden appearance of black mist, if I'm not mistaken, is indeed..."

"Same as when Becas and Yugi had the final duel in the Duel Kingdom, what starts here now is the extremely dangerous dark game!"

"It's actually a dark game... Malik..."

Activating the power of the Millennium Key, dispersing the dark atmosphere around himself and Isis, and observing the surrounding scene, You Ling also noticed the changes in the scene at this moment.

After seeing Malik's operation, in fact, now You Ling has roughly learned how to actively start a dark duel and pull his opponent into the dark space.

At this time, You Ling suddenly had an inexplicable idea in his mind.

He always felt that the relationship between himself and Malik was like Jotaro Kujo and Dio in "JoJo", full of some inexplicable sense of fate.

Jotaro Kujo and Dio have the same type of time substitutes, and he and Malik are also holders of the Millennium Artifact, and can exert the true power of the God Card in the real world.

The moment Malik showed off a novel operation that You Ling didn't know about, there was always an inexplicable sense of déjà vu in You Ling's heart, which allowed him to simultaneously grasp a similar power to Malik. To counterbalance...

"Hate, sadness, fear, and resentment...these negative emotions will make the spreading darkness even deeper."

With a nostalgic look on his face, Dark Malik seemed to be talking to himself, scanning the people around him who were soaked in darkness with different expressions, "This darkness that has turned into reality before your eyes is something that has been hidden all this time. In my heart, I was filled with feelings of anger and resentment."

"Yi Yu, and Yu Ling... If I don't drag you guys into the darkness, the deep resentment in my heart will never be reduced... And now, at this time, the darkness is longing for you. Turn the woman opposite me into His sacrifice!"
