Yu-Gi-Oh! Starting from Duel City.

Chapter 184 The fourth round of the knockout round, Dark Malik VS Peacock Dance!
Under the leadership of Xia Di, the stone slab discovered by Becas, the father of the duel monsters, was now sent by Isis to the museum in Doshino City for exhibition.

The ancient scenes engraved on the stone slab that recorded the special scene were divided into three layers.

On the top floor, standing side by side, are the three illusory gods who exist as the patron saints of the Egyptian royal family - [Sky Dragon of Osiris], [Giant Divine Weapon of Obelisk] and [Winged God of Sun God]. Dragon], relying on the records on the stone tablet, Bekas successfully created three unique God Cards in this world!

Underneath the Three Illusion Gods are the figures of [Blue Eyes White Dragon] and [Black Magician], whose bodies are covered with huge energy ripples, facing each other at a certain distance.

Then, below the two monsters facing each other like fate, there is a scene of an ancient duel between the priest wielding a thousand-year tin staff and the pharaoh wielding a thousand-year brick.

Previously in the Tongshiye City Museum, under the leadership of Isis, Wang Xiang and Kaiba had seen this special stone slab with the duel ceremony engraved on it.

Therefore, after hearing what An Malik said at this moment, Wang Xiang, who wanted to retrieve his past memories in this game, suddenly understood and realized the identity of the other person on the stone slab.

The Pharaoh who summoned the [Black Magician] and the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] respectively, and the priests who served him, seemed like Muto Yugi and Kaiba Seto who were participating in the competition together.

It was as if they were destined, even after experiencing the baptism of reincarnation, even after 3000 years, the two became each other's old enemies again at this point in time.

"Heh... forget it, the answer will come out sooner or later anyway."

Dark Malik did not continue to dwell on the issue of Kaiba's identity, and took the initiative to end the topic. He turned his gaze and looked at Wang Xiang with a solemn expression: "Yi Yugi, the duel for the next thousand years is about to begin, and we will embark on a journey from now on." Entering the true darkness, and no one can come back safely from it, so just look forward to it... hum ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

"Malik, you guy..."

Seeing the figure of Dark Malik who said these words gradually go away, Wang Yang frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.

Somewhere in the dark, he always had a premonition.

The next game may be more serious than I thought...

……

"The contestants for the fourth knockout round have been selected, and the next duel will begin in 15 minutes."

After the duel between Kaiba and Lishid, the next thing that will be held is the duel between the remaining eight people who advanced to the finals, Dark Malik and Peacock Dance.

"It's my turn next. In this game, the only one I can really trust is myself..."

Putting his palms on his chest and resting alone in his assigned room, Peacock Wu tried to adjust his mentality before the game. At this moment, his face showed a slightly dazed expression.

Obviously before I met Yugi and the others, I fought alone.

At that time, I didn't need to rely on anyone's strength, I survived on my own... and that should be my most boastful belief.

There is only one person who can be chosen by the goddess of victory to become the duel king in this game... Even though I don't want to admit it, the rules of this world are so cruel.

So what if there are friends to comfort me?
I am not an ordinary girl, I am an aloof duelist!

Yes, just like I have done countless times in the past, I just need to believe in my own strength and then do my best to defeat my opponent!

In the process of thinking, Peacock Wu's eyes gradually became firmer, and he slowly clenched his hands, fully prepared for the next battle.

Even if her opponent is Malik, the leader of the Gurus organization who drives the unrivaled powerful God Card, she has no intention of giving up just like that.

……

"Next, No. 4's Peacock Dance will face off against No. 7's Malik. Please gather in the hall and follow me to the duel venue."

"No matter who my opponent is, I will definitely win!"

Peacock Wu came to the hall and glanced at the three contestants who had advanced, You Ling, Wang Yang, and Haima.

Not seeing Dark Malik, she took a deep breath and then walked alone to the direction of the elevator leading to the duel.

When passing by You Ling and the others, Peacock Dance showed them her determination: "You Ling, and Yu Yu, the next time we meet will be in the semi-finals!"

"Wu, we will cheer you on during the game!"

"do not come!"

"……dance?"

The group of relatives and friends who saw the peacock dance originally planned to give her some pre-war encouragement.

However, when Peacock Wu heard this voice, he directly rejected the kind actions of his relatives and friends.

"Next, I have to fight alone. Even if you cheer for me, it won't be of any real help to me!"

Turning her heart into a demon, Peacock Wu decided to fight alone. She kept her back to everyone and continued: "Speaking of which, I don't remember that I became one of you unknowingly. My companion!"

"Wu, what's wrong with you? Why do you say these suddenly?"

Jonouchi, who didn't understand why Maura was so cold to her friends, subconsciously asked her curious questions at the moment when her personality changed drastically.

Hearing Jonouchi's voice, Peacock Dance turned her head slightly and glanced at him with the corner of her eye: "Jounouchi? Ha, I won't be like you, needing someone's support to fight this duel. ...I will definitely win!"

"What did you say?"

Being stabbed in the weak point by Peacock Wu's ruthless words, Jonouchi, who had been defeated by You Ling before and now suffered a severe blow from Peacock Wu, twitched the corner of his mouth with a childish voice and subconsciously opened his mouth to Peacock Wu. He retorted: "What did you say? You guy...say it again if you have the guts!"

"Hey...Jounouchi! Calm down!"

"……Humph!"

Shaking the long golden curly hair behind his head, he dissed the peacock dance of the yellow-haired boy, then took steps and took the elevator to the competition venue without looking back.

Looking at Peacock Wu's back, You Ling touched his chin, showing a thoughtful look.

The next duel was between Peacock Wu and Dark Malik. To be honest, You Ling didn't have much hope for Peacock Wu's victory.

And if Peacock Dance loses, then Malik's next opponent will most likely be him.

Until then... You Ling glanced at Isis who was looking at him next to him. He saw a certain light of hope in her eyes, and gradually prepared himself mentally.

……

"Hey, give me the key card in your hand."

"Huh? Oh... ok."

On the other side, while Peacock Dance bid farewell to everyone and walked alone to the elevator dedicated to contestants, Dark Malik also came alone to the ward where Lishid was lying.

After using the power of the thousand-year-old tin staff to brainwash the medical staff guarding the door and getting the door key from his hand, Dark Malik, with a proud smile on his face, immediately unlocked the door and walked into the room. .

Looking at the big guy Lishid lying unconscious on the hospital bed with tattoos on half of his face, Malik's eyes flashed with undisguised hatred.

"Hmph! Now that I've woken up, then I will make you all become sacrifices to the darkness one by one!"

"... Lishid, you damn guy, you sealed the hatred in my heart by carving these marks on my face with your own hands... As long as you exist, as a dark side personality, I will... You will always be imprisoned in the darkness, with no possibility of ever coming out."

Dark Malik opened the internal mechanism of the Thousand-Year Tin Staff, pulled out the sharp spikes hidden in it, gritted his teeth, and aimed it at Lishid's head.

"In this case, I will let you go to the darkness as early as possible and reunite with my father who went to hell! Die for me..."

"The contestant in the fourth round of the knockout round - Malik Isildar, please come to the scene to gather as soon as possible, otherwise, you will be disqualified from the competition!"

Just when Dark Malik was planning to take advantage of this opportunity to avoid future troubles, kill Lishid first, and then take the opportunity to kill those damn guys like Muto Yugi and Yu Rei one by one, the sound of a broadcast from Isono suddenly came out. The sound echoed in his ears, causing him to subconsciously stop what he was doing.

"Tch! Good luck to you! I'll just let you survive for the time being!"

Malik quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind, and quickly came to the conclusion that it was not appropriate to take action at this moment.

After getting rid of Lishid, we still have to spend time dealing with the funeral affairs. If we lose the qualification to participate in the competition, it will be a waste.

There is still a chance to kill Lishid, but the elimination round in Duel City is only this time.

In order to avenge Yu Ling, the second-in-command who betrayed him, and Muto Yugi, the sworn enemy who caused him to fall into this situation, Malik must personally participate in the next game.

After taking a deep look at Lishid lying on the bed, Dark Malik immediately put away his sharp blade, turned and left the room, heading towards the hall where everyone gathered.

After that, he and Isono, who was waiting here, took the elevator and went to the Sky Duel Arena one step ahead of the audience.

……

"Malik, the man with the sun god, he will become my opponent in the next duel..."

"Hmph...the darkness is hungry and thirsty for new sacrifices!"

After the peacock dance, Yami Malik and Isono took the elevator to the top of the duel airship.

Malik, who regarded the peacock dance as a sacrifice in his heart, unabashedly released his malice into the surrounding space.

"If it's interesting, let's use my deck to challenge God."

Watching Dark Malik cautiously across from him, Peacock Wu took a deep breath and raised the duel disk on his arm: "Malik, I must defeat you, and then get the Sun God Card in your hand!"

"Hey hey hey..."

Hearing the arrogant voice on the other side, Dark Malik, who was standing opposite Peacock Dance, licked his lips and showed an artistic expression on his face: "You arrogant woman! I will make you a sacrifice of darkness. Taste!"

"Hmph! Malik, the man with the power of the Sun God? Let me take this opportunity to take a closer look at his strength."

Kaiba, who was calmly watching the situation on the field and posing with his arms folded, quietly waited for the start of the game.

"Hands in place, I announce that the duel between Peacock Dance and Malik Isildar...the fourth round begins now!"

Seeing that both sides were ready, the man in sunglasses, Isono, who was serving as the referee, immediately waved his arms and announced the start of the duel.

As Isono's words fell, both parties on the field simultaneously made cool poses and unfolded the duel disks on their arms.

After a crackling sound of transformation, the two of them pointed the unfolded duel disk at each other at the same time, showing a posture of accepting the challenge.

"...Duel!"×2
(Peacock Dance LP: 4000)

(Malik LP: 4000)

"I'll attack first, my turn... draw cards!"

Peacock Wu, who took the lead in the duel with a determined look on her face, waved her arm and pulled out the card at the top of the deck.

After looking at the cards in her hand, she slapped one of the cards on the deck of the duel plate: "Entering the main phase 1, I normal summon this card from my hand in attack position! "

"Come out, [Harpy Queen] (Bird/Beast/Wind/4 stars/Attack: 1900/Defense: 1200)!"

Wearing a sexy slim-fitting bikini, with her turquoise hair tied into a waist-length high ponytail, the female monster with a half-human, half-bird appearance came to her with the movements of a peacock dance.

In response to [Harpy Queen]'s wave, a green breeze blew up around her.

"Next, I Ambush a card, and that's the end of my turn."

After summoning a monster with an attack power of 1900 on the field, Peacock Dance then ambush a card in his hand into his backcourt.

Convinced that she had not made any mistakes, she immediately waved her hand to end the current round and handed over the initiative of the round to the sneering Dark Malik.

"Hehehe...a 4-star monster has a high attack power of 1900 points. It's a good card!"

Dark Malik glanced at the monster girl in attack position on the peacock dance floor, licked his lips, and after moving his arms, he pulled out a new card from the top of the deck: "My turn, draw a card!"
