Chapter 55: Lure
Yu Miao's attitude made Marik realize something. He asked:
"What do you mean? Do you think Odion is in trouble?"
Although Odion's skills weren't as good as Yu Miao's, dealing with some rats in the gutter shouldn't be a problem.
And he had the counterfeit Winged Dragon of Ra card as a trump card.
Marik couldn't think of any reason for Odion to fail.
Among the above reasons, the counterfeit Ra card was the most fatal.
If Odion were to fall, this ignorant "Sunshine Boy" before him would bear 90% of the credit.
If not for Yu Miao, Marik himself would never have had a shred of doubt about Odion.
The problem was, he was starting to waver too.
"Alright, I actually found this out." Marik handed a photo to Yu Miao.
Yu Miao took it, and Panther Lady leaned against him to look at the photo together.
Marik was a bit dissatisfied with Panther Lady's action, but in the end, he said nothing.
The photo was a bit blurry due to the heavy rain.
It seemed to be in some alley in a district of Domino City. A man on a motorcycle was speeding recklessly.
"Hmm, good riding skills," Panther Lady commented.
"Not as good as mine," Yu Miao retorted.
"This man is very familiar with our Rare hunter' internal affairs. The opposing force might have infiltrated. Last night's raid is definitely related to them." Marik tightened his grip on the Millennium Rod, clearly in a bad mood.
Before he could even get revenge on the Nameless Pharaoh, someone else had already set their sights on him.
[Special Quest: Traces of Doma]
Details: Observers hidden in history, controlling the fate of humanity's movements. After becoming aware of the Three God Cards appearing in Domino City, the darkness begins to stir...
Objective: Find Odion
Time: 5 hours
Reward: Orichalcos Field Spell (Official Card Game version) 1, Card Dust ? (Massive), Gems *?
Penalty: None
Yu Miao was now certain that the person speeding through the rain in the photo was likely one of the Doma Three.
These guys had infiltrated Domino City so early but were unwilling to participate in Duel City...
What sneaky bastards.
Odion couldn't die yet; the Mystical Beast of Serket was still with him.
This situation felt so familiar...
Yu Miao suddenly looked Marik. He realized that the people (prey) he had his eye on were always somehow sent out to their deaths by him!
Pandora was like that, and now Odion too...
Marik, you've done nothing but evil deeds.
Yu Miao mentally added another mark against this Sunshine Boy.
"Leader Marik, your Millennium Rod can contact Odion, right?" Yu Miao remembered something. This Millennium Item could connect to Odion's mind for communication.
"Of course, no problem." Marik had contacted him once before. Odion indicated everything was fine.
Now, he raised the Millennium Rod, its tip emitting a golden light.
Three seconds later...
Marik looked surprised and said:
"I can't reach him."
"There's actually a place that can block the Millennium Rod's communication."
Yu Miao was right; these gutter rats weren't simple.
Odion... is in danger!!
Night.
The pitch-black night enveloped the earth. Stars dotted the sky like a breathtaking painting.
Inside a dilapidated "stadium" inaccessible to ordinary people.
Odion was fleeing, chased by a group of strange duelists.
These people had a glowing green hexagonal magic circle pattern etched on their foreheads.
Odion felt these people were being controlled by some force...
These guys felt no pain, were extremely fast, and seemed as terrifying as zombies in movies.
Under such circumstances, escaping from this place was too difficult.
Suddenly, an unmanned motorcycle came crashing towards him.
"What!?" Odion yelled, desperately moving to the side.
However...
After dodging the motorcycle, Odion stopped in his tracks. He saw a man walking out of the darkness ahead.
"Hello, my name is Valon."
As soon as the words fell, Odion's body convulsed violently; he had been knocked unconscious by a stun gun.
After successfully capturing Odion, the duelist named Barron took out a "mysterious and unpredictable" Field Spell Card.
Powerful dark energy spread...
"..."
A pair of "heterochromatic" eyes appeared within the dark veil ahead.
Valon inquired with great reverence to the owner of these eyes:
"Master, we have captured him."
"What should I do next?"
A neutral voice echoed in the darkness:
"As agreed, inform the Rare hunters leader of this location. Let him witness this moment personally."
Valon was about to agree when information came through his convenient earpiece.
"Master, there's no need to inform them."
"They've already found this place through some means, and they're right outside..."
The owner of the heterochromatic eyes was silent for a few seconds, then let out a meaningful laugh:
"Hahaha, interesting. Then proceed with the agreement as planned."
The scene was slowly swallowed by darkness.
Barron followed the plan. He woke Odion up and demanded a duel!
Outside the abandoned stadium.
Yu Miao and Marik walked side by side.
"Are you really sure Odion is in here?" Marik looked at the stadium not far ahead and asked with some doubt.
The Millennium Rod wasn't the Millennium plot device, so it didn't have a tracking function.
This location was found by Yu Miao using his own methods.
Marik tentatively attributed it to Yu Miao's strange spirits...
"He's here," Yu Miao stated decisively.
Having confirmed it was Doma's doing, the force that could block the Millennium Rod's communication must be the power of Orichalcos.
Domino City was large, but as long as one searched carefully, they could sense this abandoned stadium emanating a vast, ominous, and dark power.
This time, thanks to Silent Magician LV8 and Dark Magician Girl. With the help of these two high-level magicians, they were able to locate the place so quickly.
The two chose to enter without hesitation.
Once inside, after taking only a few steps.
The Millennium Rod in Marik's hand began to emit a faint golden light.
"I sense Odion is in danger." Marik took the lead, running towards a certain direction.
Yu Miao followed behind Marik, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
He had felt this matter was strange from the start.
The Doma organization was clearly much more powerful than the Ghouls.
If Doma wanted to take down the Rare hunters, would they let Marik find traces?
It's as if...
As if tonight's events were a trap.
If that were truly the case, regardless of whether Yu Miao's spirits could locate it or not, Marik would have been lured here by Doma.
Suddenly.
A greenish glow emanated from ahead.
By the time Marik and Yu Miao arrived, a duel was unfolding before them.
Yu Miao saw it... the "Whoever Uses It Dies" Field Spell (The Seal of Orichalcos).
Valon VS Odion!!
