Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World

If other people saw that she was the only one staying at Jiang He He's place, they would definitely misunderstand!

When the moment finally arrived, Alexis Rhodes suddenly realized the impropriety of the situation.

Fortunately, she has a strong personality.

I quickly adjusted my mindset, suppressed the thought for the time being, and put it aside.

"Those Shadow Riders Dark Duelists appeared this time might have some connection to your brother."

As they walked Alexis Rhodes together, Jiang He thought for a moment and decided to give Alexis a heads-up first.

I gave her a heads-up.

To avoid being too surprised if we happen to encounter it at that time.

"It might be related to my brother?!" Upon hearing this, Alexis Rhodes's expression changed. She suddenly remembered that Jiang He had told her before that perhaps the next time she encountered Shadow Duel, she would discover some clues related to her brother.

Moreover, there are clearly not that many Shadow Duel in this dueling world.

Perhaps her brother's disappearance really is related to the "Shadow Riders Dark Duelists" faction!

for example...

The setup for the Shadow Duel ritual in that dormitory at the Duel Academy originated from the spell records left behind by the "Shadow Riders".

However, they still "don't know" exactly who arranged it. "I understand!"

Alexis Rhodes, suddenly prepared, nodded solemnly to Jiang He and replied, "Well then, goodnight."

Jiang He took out the blanket and bedding, handed them to Alexis, and watched her make them. Then, without saying anything more, he waved his hand at the door of the small guest room and said, "Kuri kuri."

The Sphere Kuriboh also appeared, waving from his shoulder towards Alexis's direction.

only.

Alexis Rhodes couldn't see it at all.

"Hmm, be careful, they might 'attack' us in the middle of the night," Alexis Rhodes nodded, offering a warning. Buzz!!

Just as she finished speaking, before Jiang He had even left the small guest room...

The next second, a dark purple light suddenly shone in the small guest room, spreading out like a protective shield and quickly enveloping the entire room, forming a surrounding force field.

It included both of them.

The Sphere Kuriboh perched on Jiang He's shoulder also materialized. "What is this...?!"

Alexis Rhodes was startled as she looked at the white light that was spreading out.

The ability to materialize spirits is undoubtedly somewhat similar to the situation in the Shadow Duel ritual space from before!

"Girl, what a great flag..." Jiang He's lips twitched.

Having obtained the Mark of the Crimson Dragon and the Crimson Dragon Heart Mark, Jiang He possessed an even more acute sensitivity to this special power. He could vaguely sense that the Slifer Red Dormitory next door also seemed to have a similar dark purple field, originating from the same source as his own.

"Phew!!"

The next second, the light within the dark purple protective shield suddenly shone as brightly as day.

After Jiang He and Alexis Rhodes subconsciously closed their eyes, they opened them again and quickly saw that the surrounding scenery had changed.

It turned into the interior of a volcano!

They were surrounded by dark, ring-shaped rock formations, but beneath their feet lay a ground that resembled a white energy curtain.

Beneath this white, energy-rich surface lies a crimson lake of volcanic lava!

Faint wisps of black smoke could be seen drifting out in the distance.

"Jiang He! Alexis- senpai! We're over here!"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from below, crying out for help with tears of joy.

"That voice is... Jaden Yuki and Truesdale?" Alexis Rhodes said, recognizing the voice.

Immediately, he and Jiang He looked down towards the crimson lava lake from which the sound was coming from.

Soon, Jiang He saw that above the crimson lava lake, there was a rock shaped like a dragon's claw, supporting a closed, pale blue sphere of light.

5.2 Meanwhile, Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, along with Syrus Truesdale and Chumley, were standing barefoot in the pale blue sphere of light that resembled a glass cage.

He lay face down on his hands and begged them for help.

Apparently, he was caught in the middle of his sleep...

"Good heavens, even that hot-blooded idiot Jaden got arrested." Jiang He muttered with a subtle expression.

He remembered that in the original timeline, only Syrus Truesdale and Chumley were captured and imprisoned.

They were used as hostages to threaten Jaden into Shadow Duel.

However, his presence has caused a slight change in the situation here.

Even that hot-blooded idiot, Jaden, got taken hostage...

And his primary target has clearly become him!

"Hmph, although they are protected by a protective light barrier, that barrier will disappear over time!"

Just as Jiang He and Alexis were looking at the sphere of light above the lava lake in the distance, at the three people being held Jaden Yuki, Syrus Truesdale, and the others.

A strange chuckle suddenly echoed from not far below the white energy barrier where they stood, from the crimson lava lake. "Who goes there?!"

Upon hearing Alexis Rhodes immediately questioned warily, "Hoo!!"

The next second, an orange-yellow flame suddenly flew out from the crimson lava lake below, transforming into a fire dragon-like shape. It flew past the white energy light curtain and landed on the other side of the arena in the distance.

The moment it landed, it instantly transformed back into a burning orange-yellow flame!

Soon, a man in a black trench coat wearing a black dragon mask, obscuring his face, came into view! Judging from his build and appearance, he was quite similar to Kaiser Zane Truesdale, but the man's hair was the common black.

Besides, hanging in front of him was half a golden, ancient, semi-circular pendant. "So it really is Alexis's missing brother."

Upon seeing this "familiar" entrance and appearance, Jiang He immediately recognized it.

The "show-off" in the distance is none other than Alexis Rhodes's missing brother, Atticus Rhodes!

However, at this moment, Jiang He could clearly sense through the Mark of the Crimson Dragon's Crimson Dragon power Dragon Heart Mark on his wrist that the other party was in a semi-amnesiac state, being eroded and controlled by some dark force.

Rather than calling her Atticus Rhodes, it would be more accurate to call her Dark Atticus.

"I am Darkness, one of the Shadow Riders Dark Duelists inherited the artifact of the Dark Resurrection Dragon," Dark Atticus said, looking at Jiang He.

"Based on the intelligence we've gathered, you must be that guy named Jiang He who recently gained notoriety at the Duel Academy's tournament." "Then let's begin this Shadow Duel! Bet the key to the Gate of the Shadow Riders you possess, and the soul of the loser will be sealed within this card!" As Dark Atticus spoke, she raised a blank monster card in her hand, which emanated a dark aura.

Apart from a completely blank monster card design, there isn't a single word on it!

"Shadow Duel where the soul is sealed within a card as the stake...!" Alexis Rhodes was startled upon hearing this. Although she had experienced a Shadow Duel before, compared to the Shadow Duel ritual space triggered by that person called Titan, this time, the method of sealing the loser's soul within a card seemed significantly more terrifying! "The Mark of the Crimson Dragon: Dragon Head Mark's Crimson Dragon's Power of Protection can grant immunity to all damage and threats caused by Shadow Duel, so it should also be able to protect the price of losing this Shadow Duel...?" Jiang He muttered to himself.

Even if it were possible, he had absolutely no intention of trying and risking defeat... After all, even if Alexis's brother lost, Jiang He remembered that the sealed soul was merely replaced by that mask and the dark will on it. "Then let's begin!"

Jiang He shrugged indifferently and spoke to Dark Atticus in the distance opposite him.

"It's worth mentioning, by the way, you..."

Do you have any extra Duel Disk? Could you lend me one?

"..." Dark Atticus fell silent for a moment, almost losing her composure and losing her guard because of his words.

But in the end, he still took one out from the burning orange-yellow flame and tossed it to Jiang He. Thud.

The Sphere Kuriboh suddenly flew off Jiang He's shoulder and steadily hugged the Duel Disk with its little arms.

Then it flew down and proudly handed the prize to Jiang He. "Kri kri!"

"Well done, little guy."

Jiang He smiled contentedly, patted the little guy's round head, took the Duel Disk from its short paws, and put it on his left wrist.

A red light flashed on top, and it immediately unfolded!

"Isn't this the one I put in the living room before..." Jiang He's lips twitched after seeing the Duel Disk's condition, and he couldn't help but complain. Good grief, he originally thought he had gotten a Duel Disk from the other party for free, but it turned out that the other party had "run an errand" from his living room to deliver it.

So the power of the dark artifacts they used wasn't for destruction, but for delivering packages...!

"Jiang He!" Alexis Rhodes glanced at him with some concern.

"Don't worry, it'll be resolved quickly, and the people over there might be a pleasant surprise for you."

Jiang He smiled at Alexis Rhodes and said.

Immediately after a moment of surprise, as if something had just occurred to Alexis Rhodes, he took out a deck suitable for a "friendly exchange" with his brother-in-law and placed it in his Duel Disk.

Meanwhile, in the distance opposite, Dark Atticus also placed his deck on his Duel Disk! "Duel!" "Duel!"

As the two spoke simultaneously, a more distorted aura of dark power faintly rose from the surrounding crater rocks and the crimson lava lake below.

[4000LP] HP immediately appeared next to both sides! "I'll go first, draw a card!"

Dark Atticus drew a card directly from the top of her Duel Disk deck, glanced at it, and slammed it onto the Duel Disk. "Summon [Troop Dragon] in Defense Position!" "Rua!!" With a faint light, a green, humanoid flying dragon monster appeared, wielding a short sword and letting out a strange cry. It crouched in a defensive stance, appearing above the huge horizontally placed card shadow above Dark Atticus's field!

[Troop Dragon]

[Star Rating: 2]

[Attribute: Wind]

[Attack Power: 700]

[Defense Strength: 800]

"Then, place another card in ambush, and end your turn!"

With a "thud," an ambush card appeared instantly in the opponent's backcourt. "Come on, your turn!"

Upon hearing Dark Atticus's urging words, Jiang He immediately saw through the opponent's tactics.

"Do you want to take advantage of the effect of Special Summon a monster with the same name from your Deck after the Troop Dragon is destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, and prepare a sufficient number of Tributes on the field?"

Chapter 108 Targeting, This is What You Call Targeting! [Please Subscribe]

Jiang He couldn't help but want to ask Alexis's brother a question about his tactic of summoning monsters like [Troop Dragon] to reserve high-level Dragon monsters as tributes on his own field.

You hardcore users of Dragon decks, aren't you afraid that the [Troop Dragon] deck, this workhorse, will die from overwork?!

If he remembered correctly, Seto Kaiba, one of the directors of the Duel Academy, seemed to quite enjoy using this move...

Jiang He had even guessed what kind of Trap Card the opponent had laid.

It's probably not a perpetual trap like [Call of the Haunted], a trap that can resurrect monsters from the graveyard.

Seeing Dark Atticus's eagerness for the tactical success and the summoning of a powerful dragon monster, Jiang He decided to "properly" fulfill her wish!

"My turn, draw a card!"

After drawing a card from the top of his deck and glancing at it, Jiang He also placed it directly onto his Duel Disk.

"I summon [the Skilled White Magician] with an attack!"
