Yugen hadn't been here long before he noticed. He projected into this world with the help of the Link System, able to carry some items from the system's virtual character.
For example, the Duel Disc.
He extended his arm, and a stream of pale blue data converged on his left forearm, quickly transforming into the Duel Disc he had when he accessed the Link System.
However, none of the Elves found it strange for duel equipment to appear out of thin air; they were only curious about his tech-styled Duel Disc. Possibly because Elves' Duel Discs also appear out of nowhere when dueling.
"Duel!" x2
[Yugen, LP 4000]
[Four-eyed Demon, LP 4000]
"Then I'll start, draw a card."
Yugen drew a card and, without much chatter, immediately pulled out five cards from his hand.
"Set one Monster Card in Defense Position in the front row, and set four Covering Cards in the back row, end my turn."
With a quick start, he almost made the opponent think they were the one going first due to the swift pace.
If the already tormented students of Duel Academy were here, they'd probably start sweating, but the simple-minded Demons from the Otherworld obviously didn't have that insight.
"Hmph, consolidating defenses cautiously? Soon, I'll show you that in this place, in front of me, defense is futile!"
Yugen thought, why does it seem like since coming to this world, he's been hearing such words repeatedly...
But once the cards are played, the inherent mindset of these opponents typically changes to some extent.
"A word of caution. Inside the bunker, the strong dominate the weak—it's an eternal truth," said the Four-eyed Big Bro. "Although killing other prisoners is not allowed, other conflicts and frictions generally follow internal rules."
He squinted his eyes again and sneered.
"And for us duelists, the outcome not only decides who will set the rules in the future. Meanwhile, the loser of the duel must hand over any card selected by the victor according to the rules. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Yugen frowned.
Huh? Only one card per duel?
How many duels do you have to win to get an entire deck, this is too slow...
Yugen's first reaction was that their rules were flawed.
But it doesn't matter. Once this duel is over, I'll fix these rules when it's my turn to set them.
"My turn, draw a card!"
The Four-eyed Big Bro glanced at his hand and soon smiled.
"Hmph, with this hand, I can immediately begin the best offensive rhythm. I activate..."
"Hold on, it's still the preparation stage."
Yugen snapped his fingers.
"Activate the Trap Card - Slide Slot. It can only be activated when the opponent has more than four cards in their hand, allowing me to see the opponent's hand and choose one Monster Card to return to the owner's deck."
Hmm? Look at the hand?
The Four-eyed Big Bro frowned: "Look at my hand?"
The card images of six cards appeared in front of Yugen one by one, and Yugen quickly glanced over them.
As expected, similar to his appearance, it seemed to be a Demon Race-themed deck, but at first glance, the strength seemed average.
So Yugen casually pointed to a Monster Card.
"Return 'Intercepting Demon' to the deck."
Intercepting Demon, a Four-star with 1400 Attack Power, has a burn effect that deals 500 damage when the opponent declares an attack.
"Tch, annoying brat."
The Four-eyed Demon pouted irritably, and the designated card turned into a dark stream, flying back to his deck.
"But do you think such petty tricks can save your little life? Kida! I activate from my hand..."
"Hold on, the preparation stage isn't over yet."
Yugen interrupted again.
"Activating another Cover Card, Speed Attack Magic - Great Cold Qi.
This turn, neither side can use any Magic, Trap Card effects, nor activate or set any Magic, Traps on the field."
Once he finished speaking, the magic activated. A fierce cold storm swept across Yugen's side of the field, instantly freezing the Magic Trap Zone with a thick layer of frost, as if completely sealed.
Four-eyed Demon: "???"
Not only was the Demon Big Bro confused, but all the small fry present were also dumbfounded.
What kind of nonsensical card is this?
A self-destructive move? Suicide?
The Four-eyed Demon frowned: "Kid, are you looking down on me?"
"How dare I."
Yugen smiled.
"I've put a lot of caution on my side too, after all, if Big Bro starts his offensive, it would be troublesome. So to be safe..."
He quickly chained and activated another Cover Card.
"Trap Card - Elf Mirror!"
A female enchantress elf flew onto the field, holding a mirror in her hands. The Katu of Great Cold Qi reflected in the mirror, seemingly sealed.
"Elf Mirror can transfer the magic card effect that only affects one player to another player."
The Four-eyed Demon thought for a moment.
It's a bit confusing, let me think it through...
Great Cold Qi, the player who activated this card cannot use any form of Magic Trap Cards or set them on the field this turn.
Elf Mirror transfers a magic effect used on one player to another player.
There are only two people in this duel, the other person must be...
The Big Bro blinked his four eyes and saw his own bewildered reflection clearly in the floating mirror.
It was as if he were looking at a clown.
Nani!? Is there a combo like this???
"Elf Mirror's effect transferred the effect of 'Great Cold Qi' to you. Therefore, you cannot activate Magic, Trap Cards or set any cards on the field this turn."
Yugen said with a grin, paused, and added.
"You're welcome."
The Big Bro's heart surged with an impulse to tear that smiling face apart.
Thanks my ass, thanks.
Only after realizing what happened did the surrounding Demon lackeys' expressions become more and more unbelievable.
Uh, this...
The Big Bro had six cards at the start, and before the match even started, two Monster Cards had already been forcibly returned, and the remaining four Magic Traps were stuck in his hand, completely unusable.
And this was even before his first turn officially started...
All the Demons exchanged bewildered glances.
Even Demons felt like this guy's dueling was somewhat insane...
"Damn it, but I still have one last card to use..."
With four cards in hand completely sealed, the Four-eyed Demon gritted his teeth and drew the last playable card from his hand.
"Normal Summon Demon Soldiers!"
[Demon Soldiers, Attack Power 1900]
A Four-star with 1900 Attack Power, it's quite a decent single card. The opponent's Slide Slot didn't target this card probably because it's Mortal Bone, and the other card had a special ability to burn directly when the opponent attacks.
But it doesn't matter. The excellent stats of the Demon Soldiers are already sufficient...
"Flip the Cover Card - Bottomless Trap Hole." Yugen calmly flipped a card in the back row, "When the opponent summons a monster with over 1500 Attack Power, destroy and banish it."
The Demon Soldiers crumpled upon landing, falling into the pit's void, disappearing into the Other Dimension.
Four-eyed Demon: "......"
