"Wait, Kevin." You Ling spoke up to stop him.
As for the previous iron door, it could still be solved by physical means.
Then this stone door in front of us, which has been specially marked with magic marks, must meet certain conditions before it can be opened.
Besides, in such a confined underground cave environment, it would be too dangerous to use the Red-Eyes Black Dragon's full force to attack.
Now that we've come this far, you might as well use your brain.
Aixia: "Mr. You Ling, it hurts to open the door with your head."
What, have you tried it?
Observing calmly, considering that You Ling has rich experience in RPG games, in this case, there must be hints near the puzzle level.
"found it."
Following You Ling's suggestion, the four people split up to search, and finally Rovik discovered the ancient text behind an inconspicuous stalactite on the ground.
Although it is engraved on the stalactite and is a little blurry due to erosion over the years, it can still be seen clearly.
But the content of the text made You Ling feel complicated.
Three lines of 'illustrated' text.
"(￣▽￣)ノLet's have a fun duel!"
"(￣▽￣*)=bI activate the Field Spell Card [Magic Bell Hole] and summon 1 monster. It's your turn!"
"(.?`ω??) Limited to Duelists D and above. If you are too weak, don't come."
"It doesn't look very serious," Nia commented.
These mysterious caves and relic mechanisms hidden beneath the academy must have been left behind by some otherworldly master.
But this hermit seems to have quite a bit of personality.
"Does this text mean that we should duel?" Rovik pushed up his glasses and analyzed, "But what does the field magic card [Magic Bell Cave] mean?"
"I think it should be a hint for decryption."
You Ling, who noticed something, tried to explain.
First is the effect of the infamous field magic [Magic Bell Cave].
When you have more monsters on the field than your opponent, your monsters cannot attack or perform effects.
When the opponent has more monsters on the field than you, the opponent's monsters cannot launch attacks and effects.
It is an extremely autistic field magic card.
As for the method to crack [Magic Bell Cave], when the number of monsters on the field of both sides is the same, this field magic card will be destroyed at the end of the turn.
"If this is the clue to the decryption, does it mean that as long as we summon the same number of monsters, we can destroy the Demon Bell Cave?" said Rovik.
The information provided literally is very clear. After the opponent activated the Magic Bell Cave, he summoned another monster.
Nia tilted her head and asked in confusion, "But didn't Kevin just summon a Valkyrie? If the solution is the same number of monsters, the gate should have been opened."
"I think the key should be the message left in the last line."
You Ling used Aisha's fair fingertips to touch and wipe the last line of text - Limited to Duelists D and above.
The duelist level?
Or monster level?
You Ling had only heard of Magic and Trap Cards being divided into grades A, B, C, and D, but had never heard of Duelists or monsters being divided into letter grades.
"Does that mean my level is not high enough?"
Kevin, who didn't believe in evil, stood in front of the stone gate again and formally summoned the monster again.
This time, there was a magic mark engraved on the door, and a letter similar to the level judgment clearly appeared.
A
Kevin was judged to be graded A, but that was not enough to crack the mechanism.
This means that the judging criteria is that the A level is lower than the restricted D level, which is completely the opposite of the spell level.
And Kevin is only the lowest A-level. How strong a duelist must he be to be qualified to open this stone door.
Then Rovik came on the field and summoned a monster, and its level was judged to be A, the same as Kevin's.
Even the second-year senior Rovik was still judged to be at the lowest level.
How high are the requirements for this stone door? Does it require a super strong person like Kema or Irena, or even Senior Aleister to be qualified to open it?
With the idea of giving it a try for free, You Ling used Aisha's body to stand in front of the gate and summoned a Yoyo from the deck.
The displayed grade is A+, which may mean that Aisha's grade is higher than Kevin and Rovik.
But this is still far from the required D-level.
"Me, me, me, let me give it a try!"
Nia, who had not tried it yet, probably felt that this mechanism was very interesting. She raised her hand excitedly and jumped in front of the stone gate.
"Monster Summoning——The Other! Come and test my level!"
The three people who didn't hold out much hope for this summoning were all students of Fu Sheng Academy. Even Aisha was only at A+ level. No matter how powerful Nia was, her level would definitely not be that high.
Then the level results shown by Nia surprised the three of them.
Level G.
"well?!!"
Leaving the three A-classes far behind and even far exceeding the restricted requirement of D-class, Nia directly jumped to the inexplicable G-class.
Then, a string of magical words appeared on the stone gate, and the gate opened.
"(≧ω≦)/It's really huge. Congratulations on clearing the level!"
Blanch!
In the end, it turns out that what is being tested here is the cup size!
Which "hermit" left behind this vulgar device?
"QvQ I, I, I only have A+."
Because of the huge psychological blow, Aisha Carlos was completely silent.
Chapter 77: Duel in the Maze
Don't be sad, girl. You are A+ grade. Although you can't compare to Nia's monster level, you at least have one more plus than the men.
After the outrageous evaluation of the Magic Bell Cave was completed, the stone door was opened, leading to another space connected to the stalactite cave.
It was a space of completely different style. After the stone door was opened, the first thing that appeared in front of the four people was a winding wall.
The area of the stalactite cave in the back is already exaggerated enough, but the area of the maze in front is even more jaw-dropping.
Everyone was surprised that there was such a huge space under the Fu Sheng Academy.
Why did the academy build such a huge space underground?
Or maybe the history of this underground space is even older than that of Fu Sheng Academy, and the academy was simply built above this underground space.
But no matter what the truth is, the heavy iron door fastened with an iron chain can prove that Fu Sheng Academy itself knows about the existence of this underground space.
"Is there another maze after the Demon Bell Cave?"
You Ling touched his smooth chin, which felt nice, and thought silently.
If the underground space in front of you is also reproduced by the field magic card like before.
Well, in Yu-Gi-Oh's not-so-complete memory, there really isn't any field magic card that has anything to do with mazes.
But when it comes to the most classic Yu-Gi-Oh animation, the so-called maze venue is known to everyone.
Although it was a maze environment, You Ling and the others, with the help of the light guided by the God of Despair card, did not hit a wall once and walked from the entrance of the underground maze to the exit in just 10 minutes.
Aisha: "This is definitely a new record for walking through a maze in my life!"
A normal person's life will never have the experience of walking through an underground maze.
I just hope that you won’t lose your way in the maze that is truly called “life”.
Aixia: "(">＜)"Mr. You Ling, please don't bring up such a heavy topic all of a sudden."
At the exit of the maze, there is a huge platform, which is divided into grids similar to those in the Duel Monsters Arena.
You Ling recognized it at a glance. It was something called a duel arena.
This is an early product of the Yu-Gi-Oh animation, but because it was too bulky, it was perfectly replaced by the subsequent Duel Disk.
However, the scenes before his eyes gradually matched the development in You Ling's memory.
"Maybe a duel is about to begin."
You Ling expressed his premonition.
"Duel, with whom?"
Looking around at the complex yet silent environment, Kevin's face was full of confusion.
"Here, there are the same prompts as in the previous space."
Rovik, who was carefully looking for details of the maze environment, was the first person to discover the key text clues.
This time the prompt is simpler, with only two lines of text.
"(￣▽￣)~ If you want to move forward, stand on the duel arena and defeat the guardian of the maze in a duel."
"Remember, this is a duel between two people!"
"Standing on the duel arena? What is that?"
"I think that's what the dueling arena refers to."
You Ling was the first to step onto the duel arena and patted the table used to place cards.
The square dueling arena provides space for duelists to stand in each corner, facing each other, which is just the right size for a 2V2 four-person duel.
"Hmph, I see. We're going to have a double duel in this arena? Omosi Roy!"
Seeing Aixia standing on the duel arena first, Kevin was very conscious and did not even discuss it with the other two people, giving them no chance at all and filling the second spot in the double duel.
Aisha: "But where is the most crucial opponent, the guardian of the maze?"
You Ling also wanted to know where the guardian of the maze was. This dark underground space, even though illuminated by luminous microorganisms, did not look like anyone would live here.
However, the next second after You Ling became confused, the duel arena that sensed the magic power of the two people's elf eyes began to operate.
There was the sound of heavy machinery turning on, along with the activation of a device similar to a projection device. Two bald men dressed in oriental costumes were projected to appear directly opposite the ring.
"Welcome to challenge the duel in the underground labyrinth!"
"We are the guardians of the maze, the Maze Brothers!"
Although the translucent figures do not exist in reality, the duelists with the words "迷" and "宫" written on their foreheads still make You Ling sigh that this production is so authentic.
The designer of this underground space must have watched the first generation animation of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Kevin glanced at the Maze Brothers standing opposite him and nodded in understanding.
"I see. Let's defeat the guardian of the maze through a duel. I prefer this way of passing the level."
Compared to the cup size measurement method, You Ling said he prefers this simple and direct duel.
"We fought side by side for the first time. Is this the fate of our old enemies, Aisha Carlos?"
It can be seen that Kevin's fighting spirit is particularly high because it is a two-person duel with You Ling.
But You Ling was thinking more at this time.
This battle between the Maze Brothers is really a classic. And this duel is somewhat different from the traditional duel.
"Anyway, be careful, Kevin."
You Ling pulled out a deck of cards from the card box on his thigh and placed them in the card slot where the Eye of the Elf was opened.
"Humph, I don't need you to worry about me, Aixia!"
