Chapter 66: The Choice
The confident dark-skinned girl's eyes shone. In her vision, Yu Miao and Yami Yugi activated their Duel Disks!
This generation of Duel Disks lacked an automatic shuffle function. The two handed their respective decks to each other for shuffling.
Hoo~
Yu Miao felt the bond and friendship emanating from Yami Yugi's deck.
It was a very passionate power.
Yami Yugi felt the complete opposite. He sensed Yu Miao's deck radiating darkness and a chilling, stinging sensation.
Yu Miao's deck was rejecting him.
What kind of power was this?
Faintly, Yami Yugi seemed to see... horns in this deck?
After shuffling was complete, they exchanged decks back. Then both placed their fingers on the top of their decks and said in unison: "Draw!!"
Swish~
Both drew five cards simultaneously.
Téa, Joey, and the others watched the two "Yu"s before them, their eyes truly unmoving, clearly very anticipating the result.
Yami Yugi laughed softly. "It seems I've won this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yami Yugi revealed the five cards in his hand.
Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Sorcerer of Dark Magic, Magician of Faith, Dark Magician of Chaos!!
All five cards were Spellcaster-type Monster Cards.
"As expected of Yugi, even a blind draw can be so miraculous..." Mai Valentine's tone was complex. This was exactly how she was defeated by him in the Duel Kingdom tournament.
Everyone turned their gaze to Yu Miao.
At this moment, Yu Miao also displayed the several cards in his hand, saying, "Sorry, but I didn't lose either."
Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Silent Magician LV8, Gemini Elf, Exodia!!
"Yu Miao's five cards are also Spellcaster-type monsters, and one of them is the legendary Exodia?" Mai Valentine's inner shock was no less than Joey's contribution to warming.
"Exodia!?" Yami Yugi looked at the card in Yu Miao's hand radiating eerie black mist. He also found this result hard to believe internally.
In the dueling world, while some might possess one piece of Exodia, the head had always been particularly mysterious. Only Grandpa had truly collected all pieces of Exodia!
Unexpectedly, Yu Miao also possessed the head piece of Exodia.
As a side note, all five pieces of Exodia are indeed Spellcaster-type monsters.
"You two are truly amazing."
"The quantity is equal, so we must determine superiority through quality."
The dark-skinned girl held her magic wand and began moving left and right. She was using her energy and status in the Spirit World to discern which side's five Spellcaster monsters were of higher quality.
Since both sides had Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, the real deciding factor was the remaining three different cards.
First, Magician of Faith's status and functionality surpassed Gemini Elf. Yu Miao's vanilla monster was eliminated first.
Yami Yugi's "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" is also one of the top-tier magicians among Spellcaster types.
Yu Miao had an impression of this card. In the movie, this top-tier Spellcaster made an appearance when fighting Kaiba.
Compared to its real-life card's nerfed effect, this "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" also had the effect of reducing the ATK and DEF of all opposing monsters.
And most importantly, "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" possessed the effect to negate and destroy an opponent's Trap Card, without a once-per-turn limitation.
This "Sorcerer of Dark Magic" was equivalent to a one-sided Royal Decree.
"But Silent Magician LV8 is also incredibly powerful." The dark-skinned girl explained with a complex expression.
Silent Magician LV8 is also one of the top-tier magicians, possessing effects to boost ATK and negate Spell Cards. Moreover, in terms of historical timeline, her status might even be longer than Sorcerer of Dark Magic.
The final awakened form of Silent Magician LV8 is also extremely powerful.
"Silent Magician LV8 wins." The dark-skinned girl finally gave this conclusion.
Finally, it was between The Legendary Exodia and Dark Magician of Chaos.
The word "Chaos" represents too much. If it were another magician for comparison, the dark-skinned girl would rule in Chaos's favor.
But this is "Exodia"!
There is a legend among Spellcaster types.
When Exodia breaks its seal, its unparalleled power will surpass any god or darkness...
The outcome is self-evident. The dark-skinned girl announced that Exodia's head piece defeated Dark Magician of Chaos.
Also very importantly, the dark-skinned girl sensed that apart from Dark Magician and the Girl, Yami Yugi's other cards did not possess spirits.
Whereas Yu Miao's cards actually all had monster spirits.
The spirit of Exodia... just thinking about it is terrifying.
The dark-skinned girl didn't want to get beaten up by Exodia.
The final result was 2:1!!
Yu Miao's Spellcaster-type card quality surpassed the Spellcaster monsters held by Yami Yugi.
"I lost." Yami Yugi revealed a relieved smile.
The current Yami Yugi has his partner and friends. He is no longer the crazed dark game-obsessed youth who just escaped his prison.
Regarding such wins and losses, Yami Yugi can accept it, as long as it doesn't involve his partner, it's fine.
Whoosh...
The moment Yami Yugi announced the result, the surrounding black mist began to condense until it finally turned into a purple orb of light.
This orb of light fell into Yu Miao's hand and finally transformed into a card.
Apprentice Illusion Magician.
[Congratulations on obtaining, Effect Monster Card "Apprentice Illusion Magician" (UR)*1]
[This card possesses a Spirit Heart and has already awakened a powerful "spirit"...]
The surrounding vision began to distort.
When Yu Miao regained his senses, he found himself and Yami Yugi inside an abandoned biology room. The others had disappeared.
Regarding this situation, the dark-skinned girl in Yu Miao's hand began to explain: "..."
When Yu Miao and the group stepped onto the mysterious staircase, that staircase, besides testing a duelist's level,
was actually also a pathway of confusion.
While they seemed to be on the fourth floor reached by the mysterious staircase, in reality, except for Yugi and Yu Miao who truly stepped on all 30 steps, each person was located in different parts of this school based on the different number of steps they had trodden.
"Let's leave here first and regroup with Joey and the others outside." Yami Yugi said and then left this abandoned school building.
Soon, Yami Yugi found Joey and Mai outside.
Even Tristan, dripping wet and looking disheveled, ran over to join them.
Everyone waited in the schoolyard for a long time, but Téa did not appear.
Yami Yugi and the others felt more and more that something was wrong.
"Wait, Yu Miao is also missing." Mai Valentine spotted the issue.
Yami Yugi looked puzzled. It seemed that after coming out of the abandoned building, he hadn't seen Yu Miao either.
So where did Yu Miao and Téa go?
Little Yugi's translucent figure appeared beside Yami Yugi, his face full of worry:
"How could this be..."
"Where did those two go?"
