Chapter 86: I Command You—Seal Release!!
Yu Miao's words were like a sharp knife piercing Mai Valentine's heart.
That's right.
She didn't have any Amazoness monsters in her hand.
So she couldn't activate the Special Summon effect of Amazoness Onslaught during the Battle Phase.
At this moment, Mai felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Yu Miao mercilessly entered the Battle Phase.
Silent Swordsman struck with 3800 damage, landing squarely on Mai.
"Aaaahhh!" Mai screamed, falling to the ground.
[Mai Valentine: 2100 LP → 0 LP]
"How could this be? I lost?" Mai couldn't believe it. She never expected to be eliminated so early in the Duelist Kingdom tournament.
The huge disparity left this intensely competitive woman utterly stunned.
Thinking back carefully, during this entire duel, it seemed Mai hadn't even managed to shave off 100 Life Points from Yu Miao.
Winner: Yu Miao!
[Duel victory. Due to the Duelist Kingdom event, received 5x EXP buff.]
[Obtained Character EXP*30000.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Gems*350.]
[Congratulations on reaching Level 25. Rewards can be claimed manually.]
[Duelist Path mission triggered. Congratulations on obtaining "Mai Valentine - Exclusive Card Pack" *3.]
Yu Miao walked over to Mai and said calmly, "I won."
So, aren't you going to hand over the Locator Card quickly?
Mai took a deep breath. She wasn't someone who would renege on a bet.
Reaching into the deep valley of her cleavage, Mai pulled out a Locator Card.
Yu Miao reached out to take it but paused inexplicably for a moment before finally accepting it.
Mai stood up expressionlessly, her face looking haggard.
"Take it," said this proud female duelist, handing over her deck for You Miao to choose one card.
Currently, Mai's strongest card was Amazoness Onslaught. Honestly, she really thought Yu Miao would take that card.
However!
Yu Miao didn't take Amazoness Onslaught. Instead, he took a Spell Card.
That's right, the Limited-1, famously infamous "Harpie's Feather Duster"!
[Harpie's Feather Duster: Destroy all Spell/Trap Cards your opponent controls.]
"You have good taste."
"That's a very rare and scarce card."
Mai explained weakly, the duel loss having dealt her a huge blow to her confidence.
Indeed, Harpie's Feather Duster didn't require any "Harpie Lady" to use; it was a pricelessly good card.
"Yu Miao, this isn't over yet."
"I will definitely defeat you."
Mai tossed out this fierce statement and ran off.
Yu Miao didn't take it to heart at all. Mai had completely lost her Duelist Kingdom eligibility.
She wouldn't encounter Yami Marik later either.
—Joey, I'm really doing you a solid.
After the duel ended, Yu Miao was surrounded by a group of old perverts.
These old perverts all wanted to acknowledge Yu Miao as their godfather.
Their goal, of course, was Dark Magician Girl.
There was even one outrageous guy who wasn't interested in Dark Magician Girl—he was interested in Yu Miao himself.
Second Brother, where are you?
There are gays here!!
With no other choice, Yu Miao summoned Exodia and used its brief time-stop ability, finally escaping this hellhole of old perverts.
A neglected small park.
Yu Miao finally found this place. He sat down to rest and began the thrilling card-pack ripping session.
Mai Valentine's exclusive card packs—let's see what comes out!
[Congratulations on obtaining Effect Monster, Harpie Lady (R) *1]
[Congratulations on obtaining Effect Monster, Harpie's Pet Dragon (SR) *1]
Two packs in a row yielded pretty useless cards. Yu Miao wasn't fazed, so he ripped open the third pack.
[Congratulations on obtaining Normal Trap Card, Power Wall (R) *1]
"Power Wall?" This third card was a bit interesting. Yu Miao perked up and immediately extracted it to check.
[Power Wall: Can be activated when damage calculation is performed for battle damage you would take from an opponent's monster attack. Instead of taking that battle damage, send cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard, 1 card for every 500 points of that battle damage.]
That's right, this Trap Card was the one and only card Zane used for his signature deck-slinging in GX Season 2.
Without this Trap Card, Zane would be incomplete; his disrespect would lose its meaning.
What a shame, Yu Miao's version was the real-life TCG/OCG version.
The anime/original effect allowed you to send 1 card for every 100 damage. Here it was 500 damage, making the effect significantly weaker.
"But I have Card Dust," Yu Miao said with satisfaction.
When he had spare Card Dust in the future, he could upgrade this card, evolving it to its anime version effect.
He added this Trap Card to his deck.
He couldn't miss the level-up rewards either. Yu Miao extracted all the Gems, and his wallet immediately felt fuller again.
Not only that, reaching Level 25 gave Yu Miao a Mysterious Key!!
"Oh, here it comes."
"The key!"
Yu Miao was excited.
A Mysterious Key could unseal a Mysterious Card. The last unsealed Mysterious Card was Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon!
"I still have one reward Sealed Card. I wonder what it will be after unsealing." Yu Miao immediately took out the Sealed Card.
[Prompt: Proceed to release the seal on the Sealed Card?]
Of course, Yu Miao chose to unseal it!
"Key that hides the power of darkness."
"Show me your true form before me!"
"I, who stand in the light of day, now by my command—Release the Seal!!"
Coincidentally, this incantation was overheard by a little girl passing by. She tilted her head.
The little girl chuckled:
"Sakura?"
"Can big brother also transform into a magical girl?"
The little girl was being led by an older blonde woman, who patiently explained:
"Little Asuka, don't grow up to be someone like that, okay?"
"At his age, still watching Cardcaptor Sakura."
"You are a child destined to become an excellent duelist."
Yu Miao was completely focused on the "Mysterious Card" and didn't notice this little interlude at all.
[Prompt: Mysterious Card seal released!]
In Yu Miao's eyes, the seal on the card in his hand gradually dissipated.
A Monster Card came into view!
"Damn it, why isn't it Tearlaments?"
"So it's Albaz..."
Yu Miao instantly lost interest. He was interested in waifu cards; other cards were just meh.
"Fallen of Albaz," Dragon-Type, 1800 ATK, Level 4.
It could be said this was an Effect Monster card stacked with buffs.
And this thing had a nickname: Humanoid Super Polymerization!
Yu Miao stared blankly at Fallen of Albaz for a moment. When he drew Galaxy-Eyes before, he did pull an "Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon."
Wait...
Mirrorjade?
Albaz!?
Yu Miao felt things weren't simple. It seemed he could now Summon Mirrorjade through proper methods.
"Hehehe, let's find a victim to test it on." Yu Miao also put Albaz into his deck and began his bitter search for the next prey.
On the other side.
"Ahhh, when Gilford the Lightning is Tribute Summoned using 3 Tributes, all monsters your opponent controls are destroyed!!" Joey shouted.
Listen, a thunderclap.
A proud swordsman was born, clad in silver armor, heroic and dashing, looking like a divine being.
[Gilford the Lightning, 2800 ATK, Warrior-Type]
Gilford the Lightning raised his lightning-wreathed sword and shouted: "With my true qi, combined with the creation of heaven and earth, Thunder God, aid me!"
Boom, rumble rumble~
Several bolts of lightning fell, creating a terrifying spectacle.
All the monsters on the opponent's field were shattered!
"Attack!" Joey launched the attack.
At this moment, Gilford the Lightning leapt into the air, bringing his sword down in a fierce slash!
Joey won the duel!
"Ahhh, I won!" Joey's eyes reddened with excitement.
He did it. Even without Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Joey could win a duel.
"Ah, I lost."
"You looked weak, but I didn't expect you to be a duelist with such strong willpower."
"I admit defeat wholeheartedly."
Of course, if this blondie had thrown two "Graceful Dice" and gotten low rolls in a row mid-duel...
The outcome would have been completely different.
The losing duelist handed the Locator card to Joey.
Of course, there was also the deck.
Joey could take one Rare Card.
"Whew..." Joey took the deck and began flipping through it. Since he could only take one card,
He had to savor it properly.
"Huh, this card is... Great Shogun Shien!?" Joey pulled out this Warrior-Type monster.
The losing duelist immediately showed a pained expression on his face.
"Tch, you really know how to pick."
"Although the other Six Samurai monsters aren't out yet, Industrial Illusions will continue releasing corresponding Six Samurai monsters in the future."
"If I didn't have relatives at Industrial Illusions, I couldn't have gotten this commemorative monster card."
Hearing this, Joey smiled and said, "Yo, then I'll take this card."
For some reason, when Joey saw this Great Shogun Shien, he felt an inexplicable connection, like they were destined.
Without Joey even noticing, the eyes of this Great Shogun Shien flickered strangely for an instant.
Winning the first duel
Meant Joey had initially secured his footing in the first stage of Duelist Kingdom.
"Hahaha, I, Joey-sama, feel invincible right now."
"Let me see who the next opponent is."
In a short amount of time,
Yu Miao had won another duel.
His opponent was a nobody, not appearing in the original story.
Unfortunately, the opponent didn't summon any Fusion Monsters, so Yu Miao couldn't use Albaz's Super Polymerization-like effect...
"I have three locator cards."
All he needed was one to complete the first clue.
"Someone is observing you. They both have dark power."
"Not just one person, but two."
"One of them... doesn't seem human!"
The voice of Silent Magician appeared; her perception was the sharpest among all the magicians.
After her few prompts, Yu Miao also sensed someone spying on him.
The feeling was strange.
The gaze filled with hostility quickly vanished.
Only one gaze without hostility remained, carrying curiosity, confusion, wariness, and... anticipation?
"Come out."
"I see you."
Yu Miao turned and said, looking behind him.
Slowly, the person with the non-hostile gaze walked out.
It was a woman. Her skin, was a healthy wheat color.
Moreover, this woman's eyes held an enigmatic quality, captivating anyone who looked into them. She exuded an elegant and serene aura.
The woman wore priestess garments, but the two ample mounds on her chest still strained against the fabric, rising and falling slightly with her steps, appearing extremely alluring.
Yu Miao noticed the golden glowing accessory...
Oh, a Tombkeeper clan sugar mommy.
