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 gameâŠ
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: âBrother, this person seems to be the adopted son of Pegasus. AndâŠhe was once evaluated by Pegasus as âthe perfect duelistâ!â
âThe perfect duelist?â Kaiba sneered, âThen this guy really doesnât know who he is.â
Mokuba: â?â
My brotherâs thinking jumps too fast, and I canât keep up with the rhythm.
âIs it clear? To guard the so-called âperfectâ 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.â Kaiba sneered, âLook like his title as âthe perfect duelistâ can only be maintained until today.â
Mokuba: âBrother, you seem to have great confidence in Yuei VuâŠâ
âHmph.â Kaiba snorted, neither admitting nor denying it.
âDuel!â x2
ăYuei Vu, LP 4000ă
ăTenma Gekko, LP 4000ă
âIâll go first, draw!â Gekkoâs first round was not muddled at all, âI summon âHourglass of Lifeâ in defense position!â
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]
âSet another card, I end my turn.â
A Normie plus a set card. Looking at such a standard move, Yuei Vu couldnât 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.
âItâs my turn, draw!â Yuei Vu glanced at the hand, and directly increased the card advantage without hesitation, âSummon Elemental HERO Bubbleman in attack position!â
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]
âBubblemanâs effect â When this card is Summoned, if there is no other card on my field, I can draw 2 cards.â Yuei Vu drew two cards, âBattle! Bubbleman, attack Hourglass of Life!â
Bubbleman had an attack power of 800, which was a full 200 points higher than Gekkoâs 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 âHourglass of Lifeâ.
Tenma Gekko waved his hand lightly: âOpen the set card! Trap Card â Mirror Force!â
âWhat?â Yuei Vu was taken aback.
It wasnât that he was surprised that the opponent had Hanoiâs holy power in his hands, but that he was surprised that the opponent used such an extravagant trap against a mere Bubbleman.
âŠWell, actually, itâs not too strange in terms of the DM environment. The current mainstream thinking of duelists in this environment was indeed like this â âUse trap cards to destroy the opponentâs 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.â
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 Bubblemanâs 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 muchâŠ
Yuei Vu quickly drew out a card in his hand: âQuick-Play Spell â Mask Change! Send 1 âHEROâ monster I control to the Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 âMasked HEROâ monster from my Extra Deck with the same Attribute!
""
I send âElemental HERO Bubblemanâ to the GY!
Transform! Masked HERO Vapor! â
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.
âWhat?â Tenma Gekko was a little surprised, âThe effect of Mirror Force is useless?â
âMasked HERO Vaporâs monster effect â he cannot be destroyed by any card effect.â Yuei Vu raised his hand and said, âMasked HERO Vapor, attack Hourglass of Life!â
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 hourglassâ body sharply, and the red sand sprayed out from the gap like fresh blood.
âItâs amazing!â Mokuba, who was watching the battle, said, âAs expected of Yuei Vu, he easily avoided such a powerful trap, and even counterattackedâŠâ
Kaiba folded her arms and frowned slightly.
âHmph, this Gekko is not exactly a third-rate duelist who can only brag about himself.â
âAh?â Mokuba was taken aback, âBut wasnât he suppressed by Yuei Vu?â
""
âIf Gekko didnât activate the trap when he was under the attack of Bubbleman, his defensive monster would be destroyed. If Yuei Vu activated the âMask Changeâ after that, transform Bubbleman into Vapor to attack directlyâŠâ
âThe effect of Mirror Force is useless against Vapor!â Mokuba realized, âIn that case, he would have to take 2400 points of damage!â
âThatâs right. But he uses the âMirror Forceâ on a trash fish monster whose attack power looks inconspicuous, thus Yuei Vu has to activate the âMask Changeâ in advance in order to keep his monster, sacrificing the number of attacks.â Kaiba said, âAlthough Gekko was in a mess, he managed to defend against this round of attacks.â
âThis⊠is so powerful?â Mokuba asked in surprise, âCould it be that he knew in advance that Yuei Vu had a Mask Change in his handâŠâ
Kaiba shook his head: âOf course itâs impossible. But first-rate duelists have a kind of âcard intuitionâ, and can quickly find the optimal solution in various situations by intuition. This guy is talentedâŠâ
After a pause, Kaiba turned his nostrils to the sky and snorted again.
âOf course, with the Duel King as the opponent, itâs normal to be suppressed. For being able to defend to this point, this guy is worthy of praise.â
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 â Vuâ!
