Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting With an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
"And they also invited me to nominally join an organization called the Shadow Riders Dark Duelists for a period of time, and gave me a dark power item called Darkness Power to help them obtain something called the Spirit Keys."
"I knew it." Jiang He's face immediately showed an expression of "I knew it."
From the very beginning, he sensed the aura of a dark power artifact similar to Camula's Dark Lasso.
I had already guessed this.
He then turned to the Gravekeeper Elder and said, "So, old Gravekeeper's uncle, it seems you're now one of the Shadow Riders Shadow Duel."
Upon hearing this, Alexis Rhodes, Jaden Yuki, and Syrus Truesdale, who had just been released from the stone coffin because of Jaden Yuki's victory, all showed expressions of surprise.
Look at the Gravekeeper Elder in white robes and a black turban!
They suddenly remembered that, come to think of it, the Gravekeeper's Elder did indeed mention the Spirit Keys!
"That's right. Although I didn't care too much about this so-called Spirit Keys, I did agree to it after all, having lost in the previous trial. Besides, you yourselves were intruders, the ones who needed to undergo the trial."
The Gravekeeper's Elder nodded, confirming Jiang He's words, and then looked at him and asked.
"So, young man, between you and that girl over there, who will be the first to continue the trial of the Shadow Duel with me?"
"Jiang He, you've already had two Shadow Duel in a row. This kind of real duel puts too much strain on your body. This time, I guess I'll have to do it again..."
Upon hearing this, Alexis Rhodes was about to suggest to Jiang He that she take the lead in the battle, but Jiang He quickly waved her hand, indicating that she should rest assured and interrupted her. "In this kind of Shadow Duel, there's no reason for Alexis to stand in front of everyone, and besides, my new deck is eager to bring laughter and warmth to this Gravekeeper's."
Jiang He smiled faintly, took out a deck of cards, placed it into the Duel Disk he had just put on his left wrist, and looked at the Gravekeeper's Elder on the high platform in the distance.
He knew from the beginning that there would be a duel, so he had his vampire maid, Camula, bring the Duel Disk in his backpack.
Anyway, there's free labor available, so he doesn't need to carry it himself.
Jiang He was naturally not afraid of trouble at all!
"Jiang He..." Alexis Rhodes was still a little worried about his health and wanted to persuade him again.
However, upon seeing the usual faint smile on Jiang He's face, she immediately refrained from saying anything more.
A sense of relief inexplicably arose within me, and I nodded to him.
Finally, he added a reminder, "Be careful."
Soon, Jiang He also walked to the altar platform 5.2 where Jaden Yuki had just fought the Gravekeeper Elder.
"Just got it! Jiang He!"
Jaden Yuki, along with Syrus Truesdale and Chumley, who had just escaped death, immediately became his cheerleaders at the altar.
"This duel might also reveal some of the mysterious power hidden within this Jiang He."
The squinty-eyed Professor Banner, also holding the fat cat, thought to himself.
After all, this was the person who had previously defeated his favored student, Jaden Yuki, so he wasn't too worried about the possibility of Jiang He losing.
I'm actually more curious about what new weird deck the Jiang He will use.
Even Alexis Rhodes and the others couldn't help but speculate as they watched Jiang He and the Gravekeeper Elder instantly unleash their Duel Disk, preparing for their duel.

"Young man, let me see your confidence and just how much strength you really possess!"
The Gravekeeper's Elder rearranged the deck in the Duel Disk and addressed Jiang He, "Duel!" "Duel!"
As Jiang He and the Gravekeeper Elder spoke at the same time, they drew five starting cards from the top of their decks.
[4000LP] HP immediately appeared around both of them. "I'll continue with the first attack, draw a card!"
The Gravekeeper's Elder drew a card directly from the top of the deck, looking as if he intended to avenge his earlier defeat.
After glancing at it, he immediately added it to his hand, then took one and slammed it onto the Duel Disk, "Summon [Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier] in Attack Position!" "Ha!!"
With a faint light, the figure of a warrior dressed in black robes, holding a long spear in both hands, appeared!
He appeared in the area in front of the Gravekeeper Elder with a low shout!

[Defense Strength: 1000]
"Then activate the Field Spell Card from your hand: [Necrovalley]!"
The Gravekeeper Elder immediately produced another familiar card and displayed it! "Boom!!"
Almost instantly, the surrounding altar area changed again, and a brown canyon rose up!
The altar platform where Jiang He and the Gravekeeper Elder had stood had suddenly transformed into two suspended stone pillars.
⑦⑥③④⑧①⑤⑦
"Why make this such a pain in the ass?" Jiang He's lips twitched as he couldn't help but complain.
Fortunately, the height of this stone pillar is not excessive...
It's still within his acceptable range for someone with a fear of heights.
Jiang He immediately decided to repay the Gravekeeper Elder by bringing him more "laughter" and "warmth"! "You should already know the effects of [Necrovalley], young man!" the Gravekeeper's Elder said with a fist clenched and a smile.
"As long as this field exists, neither player can activate cards with effects that target the Graveyard, and all monsters on the field with ' Gravekeeper's ' in their name gain 500 ATK and DEF!"
"In this way, the [Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier]'s attack power will be 2000 points!"
Beside the altar, Jaden Yuki, who was watching the battle, saw the Gravekeeper Spear Soldier's attack power increase to 2000. His expression became much more serious as he said, "That Gravekeeper's uncle's duel with Jiang He this time seems to be stronger than when he fought him earlier!"
"In the very first turn, they actually used the Field Spell [Necrovalley] to seal off the Graveyard and strengthen the monsters on their field at the same time!" Alexis Rhodes exclaimed, equally surprised.
When she and Jiang He arrived, the duel between Jaden Yuki and the Gravekeeper Elder was already nearing its end.
She/they only witnessed a brief, small part of the duel.
However, from what she saw, Alexis Rhodes could roughly guess that the opponent's strength this time, and their first round of attacks, seemed to be significantly stronger than before!
"The most unique aspect of the Shadow Riders Dark Items Darkness Power, which can grant greater dueling power to a certain extent, depending on the user's determination. Jiang He, how will you respond?"
The squinty-eyed Professor Banner clearly noticed this as well, thinking to himself.
Having just lost a duel with his classmate Jaden, this Gravekeeper Elder was now even more determined to win this duel.
This also allowed the opponent to receive some degree of assistance from the power of dark items.
However, this range won't be too large.
"Is it the influence of that dark artifact, the Darkness Power...?" Jiang He muttered to himself.
He had already vaguely sensed something, and a more obvious fluctuation of dark power seemed to be emanating from the Gravekeeper Elder in the distance. "Then I'll bury another card. End of turn! Your turn, young man!"
With a "thud," the Gravekeeper Elder placed another Ambush Card on the field in front of him and said to Jiang He, "Then, I won't hold back. My turn, draw!" Upon hearing this, Jiang He also drew a card from his Duel Disk deck.
After glancing at the card he had drawn, Alexis Rhodes and the others watching from afar immediately noticed that the smile on his face instantly turned cheerful and amiable!
This made those of them who were familiar with Jiang He instantly have the same thought.
I got the underworld card!
Then Jiang He added the card he had drawn to his hand, and then took out another card and placed it on his Duel Disk. "I Defense Position, then I set three cards to Trap. End of turn!" As Jiang He finished speaking, a series of "thump-thump" sounds rang out.
Four huge back-facing cards, one horizontal and three vertical, appeared on the field in front of him in the blink of an eye! "Four face-downs at the start, please advise. jpg" "A monster Defense Position -down in defense position? It seems to be a flip-effect monster similar to ' Gravekeeper Guard ' in my deck." The Gravekeeper's Elder said, feeling that he had seen through Jiang He's situation.
"Even so, placing a mere weak monster on top won't stop me in this trial!" "My turn, draw a card!"
After quickly drawing a card from the top of his deck, he immediately raised his hand and revealed it, "Tribute my [Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier] to summon myself!"
690 "Buzz!!"
A faint light appeared on the black-robed figure of the Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier, then quickly vanished as a sacrifice.
At the same time, the same golden light immediately shone from the Gravekeeper Elder's own body, and in the blink of an eye, it moved to the area in front of him.
They replaced the original positions of the Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier!

"Then I activate my own special effect: when a Tribute Summon is successful, revive one Gravekeeper's monster from the Graveyard!" "Revive, [Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier]!"
As the Gravekeeper Elder raised his Duel Disk, a golden light suddenly flew out from the graveyard on his Duel Disk, and the figure of the spearman, who had once again transformed into a black-robed figure, appeared!
He reappeared on the field next to him!
Thanks to the buff from the Field Spell [Necrovalley], the Gravekeeper's Elder suddenly had a monster with 2400 ATK and a monster with 2000 ATK on his field!
"So you're personally taking to the field again?" Jiang He raised an eyebrow, but he wasn't worried about the opponent's attack at all!
He said that the monster he placed on the field was enough to give the Gravekeeper's a "surprise"!
Chapter 148 Surprise! Unexpected, right? [Please subscribe]
"Let me see what kind of weakling your Flip Effect Monster, which you summoned face-down, will be!"
Seeing that Jiang He had summoned two monsters with considerable attack power at once, he remained unmoved.
The Gravekeeper's Elder frowned immediately, then waved his hand to signal.
"[Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier] Attack that summoned minion monster! Spear strike!"
"Drink!!"
The black-robed spearman let out a low shout and charged directly at the giant monster card that was horizontally summoned on the field in front of Jiang He!
Alexis Rhodes, along with their Professor Banner Daitokuji and Jaden Yuki, all stared intently at the monster that Gai had summoned, wondering what it could be.
The next second, as the Gravekeeper Spear Soldier attacked, the giant monster card, which had been lying horizontally, flipped over.
The mystery has been solved!
"Snort!!"
A bald, pot-bellied barbarian soldier, dressed in a black robe and wielding a long spear, appeared!
