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

"Professor Crowler was actually tricked by them?!"

Seeing this, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Jaden Yuki, and Chazz Princeton all couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. "How could this be...! That Camula could actually see through Professor Crowler's deck to this extent?" Alexis Rhodes exclaimed in surprise as she saw the live feed transmitted back on the communicator screen.

10. Logically speaking, Professor Crowler rarely duels, so his opponents should have no idea what cards were in his deck.

Not to mention that the deck may be adjusted.

And the trap they're using now is the same kind of targeted trap.

"It must have been that materialized Duel Monsters Spirit, the Vampire Bat, that spied on the Golden-haired Mushroom-headed Professor's adjusted deck. It appeared outside our window earlier," Jiang He said, seemingly unsurprised.

If he wasn't mistaken, the Vampire Bat had left through their infirmary window earlier.

"He must have gone to spy on the decks of the others who hold the Spirit Keys, including Professor Crowler." "Oh ho ho ho~, don't put it so harshly, buddy! This isn't called spying on decks, it's called gathering intelligence." Hearing Jiang He's voice, Camula immediately smiled smugly and defended herself.

As she spoke, the materialized form of a vampire bat -Duel Monsters Spirit landed not far from her shoulder, its prismatic eyes glowing red. "A materialized Duel Monsters Spirit?!"

Upon hearing this, Kaiser Zane Truesdale, and Jaden Yuki, among others, also noticed the vampire bat perched on Camula's shoulder.

"Indeed, that bat is somewhat different from the usual ones; it looks a lot like that monster card called [Vampire Bat]."

Bastion Misawa immediately compared the two and nodded in confirmation of Jiang He's words.

"Even one of the small, monstrous creatures on my side said that it wasn't an ordinary bat."

Chazz Princeton, his forehead also bearing the mark of a hash symbol, kept waving his hands, trying to slap away the person twisting in red underwear, who was shoving a leather drum at his face, Ojama Yellow him, and said.

"Oh my god, a materialized Duel Monsters Spirit! Am I really going to participate in Shadow Duel...?!"

Professor Crowler froze upon hearing this, cold sweat pouring down his face!

"What's wrong? Is that blond, mushroom-headed professor over there already trembling with fear? It's still your turn!"

Camula chuckled mockingly.

They directly used the nickname Jiang He had just mentioned.

"You despicable female vampire, I'm trembling with excitement!"

Noticing that Jaden Yuki and Chazz Princeton were all looking at him in the direction of his words, Professor Crowler jolted awake, immediately raised his fist again, and argued with Camula!

Even if you use those spying tactics, I still have the upper hand!

"I'll show you soon what a truly powerful duelist is like—someone you can't defeat just by peeking at their deck!"

Professor Crowler said, placing one of his remaining three cards onto the Duel Disk in front of him.

"Tribute two Special Summon [Embodiment of Apophis Token] to Summon [Ancient Gear Golem] in Attack Position!"

"Boom!!"

With a faint light, the two golden derivatives of the evil god statues, which were offered as sacrifices, turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Soon, amidst the tremors and dust, the figure of a gigantic, ancient mechanical gear giant emerged!

Appearing in the arena in front of Professor Crowler!

[Ancient Gear Golem]

[Star Rating: 8]

[Attribute: Earth]

[Attack Power: 3000]

[Defense Strength: 3000]

"It's out! Professor Crowler's ace monster, [Ancient Gear Golem]!" Jaden Yuki exclaimed excitedly, clenching his fist as he looked at the enormous mechanical giant.

"This will significantly reduce the opponent's health and prevent them from easily overcoming the monster's high attack power of 3000, thus causing damage in return."

Kaiser Zane Truesdale both nodded with a slight smile.

"Duel is beautiful! Always maintain elegance! Students, watch closely for my practical lesson this time!"

Professor Crowler floated up again and said.

He then waved his hand, gesturing towards the blue-haired vampire figure number 663 opposite him!

"[Ancient Gear Golem] Attacks [Vampire's Curse]! Crowler's Giant Fist!"

"What kind of weird names are these..." Jiang He couldn't help but want to complain.

Why don't you call it Joey Wheeler Flame?

He thought his move names, like Getsuga Tenshō, were already pretty flashy, but he didn't expect this blond, mushroom-headed professor to be even more flamboyant...

It's a prime example of chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).

"Ugh!!"

As the Ancient Gear Golem's dark mechanical fist slammed into the blue-haired cursed vampire figure, it instantly shattered into particle fragments, which then disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the shockwave from the particle shattering also struck Camula behind him.

This directly caused the opponent's original [4000LP] health points to decrease by 1000LP, becoming [3000LP].

However, Camula showed no signs of being truly injured and remained completely at ease.

Clearly, her status as the last true vampire in the real world, combined with her inherent power, allowed her to almost completely ignore this attack, which wasn't particularly painful.

Chapter 123 Was this also part of your calculations, Jojo? [Please subscribe]

"Then, I'll begin my magnificent counterattack!" Camula said, raising his hand without any concern.

"Activate the special effect of [Vampire's Curse]: When this card is destroyed, pay 500 LP to Special Summon it from the Graveyard at the start of my next turn! And its ATK is permanently increased by 500!" Camula's [3000 LP] LP instantly decreased by 500, becoming [2500 LP].

"Huh?!" Professor Crowler was immediately stunned and startled.

Does it still have this effect?

"Hey, Professor Crowler, you don't know, do you?" Chazz Princeton asked suspiciously, adding fuel to the fire.

"Uh... everything is going according to my plan."

Crowler was internally cursing, but outwardly he stubbornly forced a smile and said something that sounded like a pain in the ass.

"I don't believe you for a second." Jiang He's eye twitched as he read it, and he muttered a sarcastic remark.

Judging from the blond, mushroom-headed professor's reaction, he probably has never even seen that rare [Vampire's Curse] picture.

"Was this also part of your calculations, joj0?" *Pfft. Alexis Rhodes, who was nearby, couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing his retort.

Although Professor Crowler's situation seemed a bit dire, she couldn't help but want to laugh because of someone's words.

Then, Professor Crowler, just to be on the safe side, placed another card on the Duel Disk. "Next, I'll set up another card, and the turn ends."

With a loud "thud," a huge, hidden card appeared on the field in front of Professor Crowler. "Now it's my turn. My turn, draw!"

Camula drew a card from the top of her deck, glanced at it, and then raised her hand to signal, "After my preparation phase, revive, [Vampire's Curse]!" "Hmph!"

With a sinister laugh, and amidst the faint light swirling in the dark currents that swept across the area in front of her, the blue-haired, scarlet-eyed vampire monster reappeared!

Furthermore, the attack power has increased by 500 points from the original 2000, reaching 2500 attack power!

"Even with an attack power of 2500, it's still 500 less than my [Ancient Gear Golem]!" Professor Crowler said, forcing a smile. "Hmph, that's hard to say!"

Camula chuckled and raised the Duel Disk on her left wrist, unfurling Field Spell arena above it.

Then I placed the card I had just drawn on top!

"Activate Field Spell from my hand: [The Vampire Kingdom - Helrubania]!" Boom!

As Camula finished speaking, the ground around them trembled violently, and in the blink of an eye, a sinister ancient castle appeared.

Along with the surrounding area, several eerie, subordinate cities also appeared.

"It's [the Vampire Kingdom - Helrubania]?! A forbidden Field Spell!" Crowler's expression instantly changed!

He wants to report this!

"This female vampire, Shadow Riders Dark Duelists, uses only a handful of rare forbidden cards in the duel, cards whose power is too great and are explicitly prohibited!" "Exactly, but this is Shadow Duel where it's either life or death, so there's no such childish rule as forbidden cards in the surface world!" Camula chuckled.

"The special effect of my vampire clan's secret card, [The Vampire Kingdom - Helrubania], allows you to discard one Zombie monster from your hand and then destroy all monsters on the field!"

"As expected of a perennial banned card... its effects are indeed a bit outrageous." Jiang He's lips twitched as he watched, and he muttered a comment.

Alexis, along with Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Jaden Yuki, and others present, all had their expressions change upon hearing this.

"But in doing so, all the monsters on your own field will also be destroyed!"

"And because of the negative effect of [The Vampire Kingdom - Helrubania], I cannot Normal Summon monsters this turn!" Professor Crowler said, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his face.

He only has one card left in his hand.

"So your learning is far from enough, Professor Crowler," Camula said with a smug smirk.

"Have you forgotten? My [Vampire's Curse] on the field is an immortal being that can be resurrected after being destroyed by battle or card effects!" Then, she revealed one of the three monster cards in her hand and placed it into the Duel Disk Graveyard.

"I discard one Zombie monster card [Vampire Lord] from my hand, activate the effect of [The Vampire Kingdom - Helrubania], and destroy all monsters on the field!"

"The power of the Undead Kingdom!"

"Buzz!!"

A surge of dark red energy emerged from the eerie, ancient castle behind her and from the surrounding area.

In the blink of an eye, it affected all the monsters on the field.

"Roar!!"

The ancient mechanical giant on the field in front of Professor Crowler let out a painful cry, instantly shattered into particles, and disappeared.

Meanwhile, the werewolf and vampire monsters on the field in front of Camula also groaned and crumbled into particles, disappearing without a trace.

"Pay 500 LP to revive [Vampire's Curse] on my next turn."

Camula continued.

Her [2500LP] health points were once again reduced to [2000LP] due to the cost of paying 500LP.

"However, in that case, the opponent probably won't be able to attack Professor Crowler this round either."

Seeing this, Bastion Misawa couldn't help but say something.

"After all, [Vampire's Curse] can only be resurrected in the next opponent's turn, and because of the negative effect of [The Vampire Kingdom - Helrubania], she cannot perform Normal Summon this turn."

"In other words, if Professor Crowler can summon a monster with an attack power exceeding 2000 when it's his turn, he can directly attack his opponent who doesn't have any monsters on the field and win."

Jaden Yuki smiled and nodded in agreement.

The others listened and nodded in agreement.

"Have you forgotten something..." Jiang He couldn't help but remind him with a strange expression.

He stated that although the opponent couldn't perform Normal Summon this turn, they could still Special Summon!

Chapter 124 Injuries are bearable, but pride cannot be sacrificed! [Please subscribe]

Jiang He's words of reminder immediately startled Professor Crowler, as well as Kaiser Zane Truesdale, Bastion Misawa, and the others!
