Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City

Chapter 144 I must start struggling immediately

Hiding behind the [Iron Wall Mask], he avoided the direct attack of up to 3000 points of damage from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's "Explosive Wind Bullet of Destruction", but the Mask of Darkness did not suffer any damage from it. The hem of the black robe he was wearing was being rolled wildly by the strong wind, and at the same time, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with a proud expression.

Thanks to his foresight in the last round and preparing the cards to deal with it in advance, he was able to achieve such an effect.

Sure enough, it is more practical to rely on oneself than to count on companions.

The results presented in front of him further strengthened the Mask of Darkness's determination to selfishly focus on protecting itself and no longer care about its companions.

"Jiejiejiejie... What a pity, Kaiba! The blue-eyed white dragon's attack has no effect on me~"

He patiently waited for the aftermath of Blue Eyes' attack to dissipate, and after Kaiba's battle phase was over to ensure that he would not be harmed due to other reasons, he carefully constructed the Mask of Darkness from the [Iron Wall Mask] His body appeared behind the defensive shield.

Looking at the calm-faced Kaiba across from him, he felt that he was superior in skill and had predicted the Mask of Darkness operated by his opponent. He immediately crossed his arms with an arrogant expression and made a mocking sound from his mouth without hesitation. : "Idiot, I have seen through your attack strategy a long time ago!"

"...Hahahahaha!!! What a bunch of idiots!!!"

The one who responded to Dark Mask's laughter was a laugh with a higher decibel level coming from Kaiba's side.

The Mask of Darkness imagined that Kaiba would become angry due to the obstruction of his offensive, but it did not appear in his eyes as expected.

Not only that, but at this moment, Kaiba inexplicably laughed in three parts of the smile as if no one else was around. In this way, he once suppressed his laughter.

Feeling a little unsure about Kaiba's abnormal reaction, Dark Mask's face gradually turned from red to white, and became suspicious. Finally, he twitched the corner of his mouth with a dry smile and stopped his taunting behavior.

"Hey, that short guy over there, you said your name was Mask of Light, right?"

Looking past the Mask of Darkness who was stuck in the same place with a gloomy expression, Kaiba proudly raised his head and cast his gaze on the Mask of Light beside him.

Compared with the tall and thin Mask of Darkness, the Mask of Light appears to be shorter and fatter. Even if only half of his face is exposed, it cannot hide the strong and flat temperament on his body.

His existence itself shows "vulgarity" and "cunning", and he is simply the best synonym for a villain.

"Short... dwarf? How dare you call me a dwarf?!"

Heishi hated others mocking his short Mask of Light. After hearing Kaiba describe him like this, he instinctively clenched his palms and frowned.

Although the negative emotions were not very obvious on his face, in his heart, the narrow-minded Mask of Light had already included Kaiba on his must-kill list.

Even without Malik's instructions, Mask of Light plans to repay this humiliation exponentially in the coming time.

"You just saved a life."

"……What's the meaning?"

"You also saw that in the situation just now, neither of you had monsters on the field."

Looking into the eyes of Mask of Light, Kaiba narrowed his eyes and continued to say to him: "At that time, I can completely let [Blue Eyes White Dragon] attack any one of you... But don't Forgot, you are also one of my targets."

Kaiba, who had the upper hand as he described the current situation calmly, raised his head high while crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Pointing his nostrils at the Mask of Light and Darkness that was casting his gaze at the same time, Kaiba let out a disdainful sneer: "Oh, ask yourself, if the target of my attack just now was not him but you, what do you think? Will your partner really activate the effect of the card just now in order to save you? I don’t think so?"

"No, he will never use this precious card to save his life on you!"

Using the method of asking and answering questions, Seto Kaiba seemed to unintentionally try to provoke a cooperative relationship between the two people of Light and Dark Mask.

The more cunning a person is, the more he likes to overthink.

The two had a fierce conflict and quarrel before, and the seeds of doubt had been planted. Now, Kaiba's words were like sharp swords, piercing into the hearts of the two, making them The suspicion towards each other involuntarily deepened.

"This……"

Unable to deny Kaiba's provocative remarks, the Mask of Light subconsciously cast a suspicious look at the Mask of Darkness beside him.

After the conflict just now, the trust between the two of them can be said to have dropped to an unprecedented freezing point.

Although he vaguely knew that Kaiba was deliberately provoking their relationship, in his heart, after hearing what he said just now, the Mask of Light couldn't help but begin to doubt his companion's true thoughts.

Mask of Darkness...

That guy just shied away all the responsibility for the failed attack on me without hesitation.

If this mission fails to be completed and we survive by chance, he will definitely put all the responsibility for the failure of the mission on me in front of Sir Malik, and let me bear the consequences of life on his behalf. The punishment of death...

Tsk... what a duplicitous bitch!
It’s a shame that I trusted you so much before and have always regarded you as my best friend!
In the end, this is how you treat my feelings, right?
"Hey!! Don't listen to that guy Kaiba's nonsense!"

Sensing that the eyes of his companions looking at him were getting more and more strange, the Mask of Darkness suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis in his heart, and quickly defended his self-protection behavior just now: "Partner! In order to protect you, I will definitely activate that It’s a card! That’s for sure, you have to believe me! Is it possible that in your heart, Kaiba’s words are more worthy of your belief than mine?”

Mask of Light: "..."

Although the Mask of Darkness defended himself excitedly, the suspicion on the Mask of Light's face still showed no intention of dissipating.

After seeing his companion's emotions suddenly become so excited, as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot, Mask of Light thought he had guessed it right, but instead felt that this guy was deliberately avoiding the topic with a guilty conscience.

"Next, it's my turn!"

No longer intending to believe in anyone's mask of light, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.

Immediately after Kaiba's turn, he came to his own turn again, gritted his teeth, reached out and pulled out the card at the top of the deck.

"Hmph! I will activate the magic card [Pot of Desire] that I just drew! With the effect of this card, I can draw two new cards from the deck."

A large green pot with big yellow teeth appeared in front of his body following the movements of the Mask of Light.

Showing the card he just drew, Mask of Light activated the magic card effect, and then drew two new cards from the deck.After that, the vulgar green pot automatically split apart and turned into golden light spots, erasing all traces of its existence from the field.

"This card is...?!"

Looking at the two latest cards he had drawn, Mask of Light's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately began to look around at the scene on the field at this moment.

As long as [Blue Eyes White Dragon] is still on Kaiba and Yugi's field, they will not be able to avoid this monster and cause harm to the duelist himself.

As time goes by, the cooperation between them will become even worse on the verge of being broken.

Perhaps, without Kaiba and the others launching an attack, their side would have fallen into chaos on their own due to infighting.

"First, I ambush a card."

Putting a card from his hand to the backfield, Mask of Light then inserted another card into the backfield of the duel plate: "Then, I will activate the magic card [Notes Exchange] from my hand!"

"Through the effect of this card, I can exchange all the cards in my hand with those of my opponent."

The Mask of Light's gaze swept across Kaiba and Wang Xiang one by one, and finally settled on the Mask of Darkness as his companion.

Recalling the grudge between the two just now, a light mask of pleasure flashed in my heart, and continued with an evil smile: "Jie Jie Jie Jie... Since this duel is a team duel, I can also fight with My companions exchange cards from each other's hands!"

Kaiba & Wang Xiang & Mask of Darkness: "...Nani?"

Hearing the choice made by the Mask of Light at this moment, not only the opponents Kaiba and Wang Xiang, but also the Mask of Darkness as his teammate couldn't help showing a shocked expression on their faces.

The Mask of Darkness, who doubted whether he heard correctly, opened his eyes as big as copper bells and looked hard at his companion.

However, what appeared in his field of vision was the very fat face of the Mask of Light, with a cunning smile on it.

"aibo (partner), since my current hand number is 0, I don't have to give you my hand, and you must give me all your hand!"

"How dare you...how dare you make your own decisions at this time!"

"Hey hey hey, whatever you say."

Approaching the body of the Mask of Darkness and looking at his angry-looking companion, the Mask of Light clasped his ears carelessly while extending his free hand to him: "Okay, give me the remaining three of you. Give me all the cards!"

"... Goo!"

With anger blazing in his eyes, Mask of Darkness gritted his teeth with a look of reluctance as he wanted to eat the pudgy bitch in front of him alive.

Desperately suppressing his inner anger and resisting the urge to slap him twice, Mask of Darkness finally stretched out his arm with trembling hands and handed the card in his hand to his nominal companion.

"Hey, thanks, I will inherit your card to deal with those two guys. If you want, just watch my performance from the side."

The Mask of Light took the card, ignored the Mask of Darkness' gaze that seemed to want to eat him alive, and returned to where he originally stood.

After snatching three cards of the same origin from his companions, Mask of Light immediately opened the card that he had just covered up: "Next, I will activate the magic card [the selected card]!"

"The chosen card? What exactly is this?"

Above the card picture of the magic card is a device similar to a Russian turntable. Around the turntable with a mask pattern, there are three cover cards that are shown on the inside, making it difficult to see their specific types.

Looking at the card activated by the Mask of Light at this time, a layer of doubt appeared on the faces of Wang Yang and Kaiba.

What is this guy planning to do?
"According to the effect of the magic card [Chosen Card], I ambushed three cards in my hand into my backfield. Among these three cards, there is only one monster card."

With three overlapping "buzzing" sounds, the three cards that originally existed in the Mask of Light's hand were also placed on the field in a circle.

In the center of these three cards, a top-shaped wheel with the Mask icon appeared.

"The Mask Roulette on the card map will randomly select one of the three cards on the field. If the selected card is a monster card, then I can ignore its summoning conditions. , Special Summon that monster on my field."

Wagging his fingers proudly, Mask of Light explained the effect of the magic card he activated to everyone.

"I see, it turns out you have such a plan!"

"Of course, I won't let your card go to waste!"

"Hmph, if you fail again this time, I won't let you go easily? You will never fail, do you understand?"

Mask of Darkness, who looked angry just now and felt that he had been tricked by his companions, suddenly showed an expression of realization on his face after noticing what Mask of Light was doing now.

Among the three cards that originally belonged to him, there was indeed an extremely powerful monster card that could reverse the status quo.

However, the conditions required to summon that monster are too stringent and are basically impossible to achieve at this time, so the Mask of Darkness has never thought about that aspect.

However, Mask of Light had different ideas from him.

He planned to use this slightly alternative method to achieve the purpose of counterattack against Kaiba and Yugi.

"Here we go, Masked Top, guide our destiny!"

Waving his arms violently, the Mask of Light bets the fate of the two of them on the outcome of this roulette wheel.

If that key card is selected, Mask of Light and Darkness can use this to reverse their disadvantage and regain the initiative in the duel.

And if it is not selected...

Forget it, it’s better not to think about that kind of thing.
