As inspiring music sounded, the semi-finals were even more exciting than the quarter-finals.
The picture was slowly projected, and the first person to appear on the duel field was still the handsome and handsome president of the Link Company, Zhao Ye, who was dressed in silver and white, with clothes that seemed to have many rivets on them.
Zhaoye read out the rules of the Duel Alley as usual, and announced today's two duelists -
Boating, versus, Pete.
Upon hearing this, Meursault's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his eyelids seemed to raise a few microns. He was already sitting very straight, and now he looked even more formal.
After the reading, Zhao Ye stepped aside and walked up alone.
This person is——
Vivian?
Of course, he also saw Vivian's transformation at the end of yesterday's competition, but he didn't expect that she was still alive.
That night...
Few people would be "puzzled" by Vivian's appearance.
Although Vivian seemed to have mutated yesterday, how can I put it? In the back alley, completely incomprehensible strange phenomena may occur at any time and any place.
Like Vivian's sudden change, although everyone doesn't understand what happened, they won't be surprised when they see it.
This is a common thing, no need to think too much about it.
Instead...
They were even more surprised that Vivian was still alive and standing here, hosting the semi-finals.
How come this person is still alive?
Can it return to normal after that kind of mutation?
What happened after yesterday's duel?
More people began to become curious about this issue.
There's no way, I'm just too curious.
Many people even wondered... Could it be that Zhao Ye had used some method to save him?
After all, everyone saw Zhao Ye pick up Vivian yesterday.
This makes them unable to help but be more curious and "yearning" for the night and the link company.
You Zhou and Pete stood on both sides of the tower respectively. Under the guidance of Vivian and Lin, they checked their decks respectively.
"Ms. Vivian, are you okay?" You Zhou asked while checking the card deck.
A few days ago, the Hamburgers were stuffed with some inexplicable cards, so Zhaoye allowed everyone to do a final deck confirmation before the game in the semi-finals to prevent mistakes.
Hearing You Zhou's question, Vivian smiled brightly, stroked her clothes gently, and said, "It's okay, You Zhou, the store manager is a man of his word."
Looking at Vivian's smile, You Zhou felt there was no need to ask any more questions.
In the back alley, I can smile so brightly, beautifully, and cheerfully like Vivian.
People who are not crazy are most likely truly "happy" people.
To some extent, You Zhou was even a little envious of Vivian.
But he quickly shook his head.
Focus your attention on the card.
Soon, the deck inspection was completed, and Vivian and Lin came to the two sides of the arena. Vivian held the microphone and smiled at Zhao Ye, then raised the microphone and shouted at the screen: "So, Duel Alley, final screening, semi-finals——
start! "
"Dear duelists, enjoy this ultimate duel feast!"
Her "normality" made some people who saw her turn into a monster yesterday feel uncomfortable.
Because in their minds, Vivian should have turned into a monster and died yesterday. This is what is "normal", instead of standing on the duel field again, acting as a referee and commentator as if nothing had happened.
Youzhou and Pete placed the decks on the duel disk, then hung them on their left arms at the same time, activated the duel disk, and instantly drew five cards from it.
"Duel!"
"Duel!"
The two of them are almost the most "formal" duelists in the world today.
The order of the duels is chosen by Pete.
"May I choose?"
Bathed in the red light falling from the sky, Pete nodded slowly.
"Before that, Youzhou, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"?" You Zhou was a little confused.
"You also know this, right? It was when I duelled with Meursault before, and before I was completely defeated, I chose to give up drawing cards and surrender directly.
I have regretted it ever since because I did something I absolutely did not want to do.”
You Zhou nodded: "So after that, you wanted to pursue [Victory]?"
"Yes - victory! Only victory!" Pete's eyes gradually brightened, and a reddish light that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye involuntarily emerged from his body.
The duel hadn't even progressed far when Pete automatically raised his emotional level to level one!
Pete's beliefs and desires are too obvious and too strong!
Along with his shout, the two closers of the Seventh Association also shouted "Victory" from behind, as if to cheer him up. After their cheering, people in the audience seats and in the Duel Alley also responded to Pete one after another with loud shouts of "Victory".
Zhao Ye even saw some employees of Strange Burger Company excitedly cheering "Victory" - even though their boss was defeated by Pete, Pete's victory won their hearts.
What a high popularity.
Peter suddenly raised his hand, punched upwards, and then slowly retracted it: "After that, I wanted to duel with Meursault again, in a formal occasion, thoroughly and without reservation - but!"
but.
Although the noise was very loud, the momentum was strong, and everything was very scary, Youzhou, who had experienced all kinds of bad things and had been beaten up by several different elves, was now a veteran and experienced person, and was not scared by Pete at all.
"You lost to me, didn't you?"
"According to our intelligence gathering, Meursault seems to be very famous within J Company. He is a relatively powerful and famous employee." Peter gently pinched the cards in his hand and recalled a little. "His ability is also very good, and he seems to have a high affinity with [Lock]."
"Your duel was quite exciting. Meursault's infinite combinations and your ultimate counterattacks were both excellent. I also admire your final fight." Peter said as he nodded, "I think this is respect for [Victory]."
"Now, I have no chance to duel with Meursault again, so I will duel with you with all my strength!
I want to defeat you! Even if I defeat you, it doesn't mean that if I duel with Meursault again, I will win. I also want to defeat you!
I'm going to go all out and do my best!
This is how I respect the duel - so, I choose to attack first! "
You Zhou was very surprised.
Based on his understanding of Pete's deck, Pete's deck should be better at back-attacking. As long as the back-attacking finds a good opportunity and performs a powerful fusion, the opponent can be defeated instantly.
But it seems that Pete actually has other tactics! ?
"Draw a card——"
Peter glanced at the cards in his hand and quickly pulled out a card: "I activate the continuous magic, Future Fusion!"
In front of Pete, a green continuous magic card was placed.
On the card, there are some tall buildings and countless colorful lines in the center of the tall buildings.
However, although this card exists on the field, it does not activate its effect and just exists there quietly.
"Next, I Normal Summon, Cyber Phoenix."
Cyber Phoenix, level 4, fire attribute, mechanical type, attack power 1200, effect monster.
"Cover a card and the turn ends."
Pete's remaining hand: 3
You Zhou was not in a hurry to draw cards, but first confirmed the effects of the cards on the opponent's field.
Future Fusion... Just as its name implies, it is a magic card that fuses in the "future" turn.
Cyber Phoenix, on the other hand, can negate Spell and Trap Cards that only work on one Machine-type card as long as it is face-up on the field.
In addition, when a face-up Cyber Phoenix is destroyed in battle, you can draw a card.
"My turn - draw a card." You Zhou glanced at the cards in his hand, and then, more decisively than Pete, slapped a card, "Activate the magic card - Curtain of Black Magic!"
"what!?"
"oh oh!!"
"Isn't it crazy to use this card at the beginning?"
Since this was not the first time it was used, the duelists watching the battle did not seem to be confused as they did when they saw Future Fusion, but instead recognized this card immediately.
"Pay half of your LP and Special Summon a Dark Magician from your Deck!"
Boat LP: 4000 → 2000
The brilliant magic circle appeared in front of him again, and a figure slowly fell from the sky to the mortal world.
The tangible touch and the sound of stepping on the ground undoubtedly made everyone realize that this monster was [extraordinary].
"You're paying 2,000 health points right at the start? Aren't you afraid that I'll find an opportunity and you'll lose the duel?"
"In a duel with you, is there any difference between 4,000 LP points and 2,000 LP points?" You Zhou had a smile on his face.
That day, the electronic twin dragons with 5600 attack power and the ability to perform combos also left a deep impression on him.
If Pete seizes the opportunity, four thousand or two thousand, it really doesn't matter.
"Hahahaha——" Pete didn't say much, just laughed.
"It is more important to summon the Dark Mage than to care about life."
Dark Magician, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Magician Type, Attack Power 2500, Normal Monster.
"During the turn when [Dark Magic Curtain] is activated, you cannot perform Summon or Special Summon other than this card. So do you want to attack directly?"
"Yes - Dark Mage attacks the Cyber Phoenix."
The Dark Mage slowly stood up and twirled the wand in his hand. Just when everyone was expecting him to perform some amazing magic, the Dark Mage rushed forward and killed the electronic phoenix with his staff.
Although the Dark Mage is truly the "strongest magician", unfortunately, the Dark Mage's power is dispersed among numerous Dark Mage-related magic and trap cards. His true form is really just a blank slate that uses his staff as a gun.
Pete LP: 4000 → 2700.
"According to the effect of Cyber Phoenix, when it is face-up and destroyed by battle, I can draw a card." Pete drew a card.
"Cover one card and the turn ends." There was nothing more You Zhou could do.
Youzhou's remaining cards: 4
“A card that materializes. This card doesn’t seem to require emotional strength to materialize. It’s a very powerful card.
It is said that almost no one can draw this card, and the only known owner seems to be you. "
Peter recalled: “Also, there is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which seems to be an absolutely rare card that no one can draw.
These cards seem to be hiding secrets, real secrets.”
Not far away, the finishing staff of the Five Associations, who were happily drinking morning tea in the sun, heard his words and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "No one has drawn a card that can be materialized?"
"That sounds awesome, huh?"
"Well, you two, no need to whisper! Just watch carefully, we will definitely have to accept the [Substitute Duel] related to the [Duel Monsters] later. For the sake of justice, we can't be distracted at this time!" Don Quixote, the chief of the Fifth Section of the Southern Fifth Association, had a gleam in his eyes and shouted excitedly.
A card that can be materialized?
Sounds so cool!
Although she was very idle, as the section chief she had to participate in some twisted investigations recently, so she did not have a real duel like Pete. Now she came to the Duel Alley to rest when Pete, who was also the closer of the association, was dueling. She felt as if she was the one dueling on the stage and was very excited.
Pete said these words simply because of his occupational disease and he was analyzing the situation at the same time.
Although he couldn't make the electronic dragon materialize, he already understood some of the key points.
Obviously, as long as one can have "mind-to-mind" communication with the card like You Zhou, one can obtain the power of the card and even get a physical "card".
