Yu-Gi-Oh!: I've Been Kidnapped by the Spirits and Taken to Duel City

Chapter 26 The First Battle of the Plague Demon

"Duel!" x2

【Kagura Kiryu: LP4000】

[Thief Keith: LP4000]

The two stood in front of the dueling platform, shuffled their decks against each other, and placed them in the deck area of ​​the platform.

Kagura Kiryu and he drew five cards from their decks together, and he said without any hesitation, "Then I get to go first, no objections, right?"

"Hehehe, whatever you want!"

Thief Keith chuckled inwardly. Kagura Kiryu, the same black magic user as in the game.

He had already figured out the Dark Magician's fighting style and had even drawn a few counter cards.

Originally intended for use against games, it's now perfectly suited for dealing with Kagura Kiryu as well.

In the original work, the thief Keith was brainwashed by Malik to test whether Yugi Muto truly possessed the soul of the Pharaoh.

However, the thief Keith is currently conscious and there is no sign of the Millennium Eye above his head, so he should still be the thief Keith himself.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Kagura Kiryu's lips curled slightly: "Keeper, the former American champion?"

"This card is perfect for someone like you who's been involved in a cheating scandal."

"Tch, arrogant brat."

Keith appeared enraged, but inwardly he sneered.

"I'm no longer the thief Keith I used to be! Come on, summon your dark magician!"

Kagura Kiryu ignored him, drew a card from her hand, and placed it in the monster zone of her Duel Disk:

"I summon, Atla's Trap Demon, attack stance!"

A sinister, purple-haired loli with a wicked grin was projected into the dueling arena by a virtual image. Intricate spiderwebs appeared around her, exuding a seductive yet chilling charm.

【Atra's Trappet, Level 4, Earth Attribute, Insect Type, ATK 1800, Effect Monster.】

"Alright, round over, it's your turn."

Keith froze for two seconds, then roared in fury, "You bastard! Are you underestimating me? Where's your dark magician?"

What the hell is this Trap Demon? How dare it try to defeat me, Thief Keith, with this little girl?

Kagura sighed dramatically, "Who knows? Maybe it got shuffled to the bottom of someone's deck."

"You little bastard, you've slandered me!"

Keith said that although he was cheating and wanted to tamper with Keith's deck, Keith was watching so closely that he had no chance.

"Hmph, then let my upgraded deck utterly crush you!"

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

"Kagura-kun..."

Xiao Biao looked at Kagura Kiryu with some concern: "In the first turn, you only summoned a monster with 1800 attack power, and you didn't get any face-down cards."

He knew perfectly well that this kind of maneuver was common for other duelists, but for Kagura...

Could it be that Keith tampered with the shuffle, causing the hand incident?

In other words, the thief Keith didn't know, otherwise he would have cried out that he was innocent.

He placed a card in the monster zone: "I summon this card in Attack Position! Machine Hunter!"

A winged robot with six mechanical arms, wielding different weapons, appeared, its eyes flashing with a mechanical red light.

[Mechanical Hunter, Level 4, Dark Attribute, Machine Race, Attack Power 1850, Normal Monster]

"Hehehe, it has exactly 50 more attack power than your Atla Worm Trap!"

Keith laughed loudly, "Let's fight! Go, mechanical hunter, crush that gloomy little girl!"

The mechanical hunter received orders and flew toward the Atla Worm Bewitching.

Just as they reached the bewitching demon, they suddenly saw the purple-haired little girl give a sinister smile and make a gesture of spreading her arms.

Kiryu Kagura places a card from his hand in the Spell & Trap Zone of the Duel Arena: "I activate a Trap Card from my hand! Piercing Trap Hole!"

"This effect can only be activated when an opponent's Special Summoned monster declares an attack during this turn. Destroy that monster and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half of the destroyed monster's original ATK!"

Thief Keith exclaimed in surprise, "Activate a trap card from your hand!?"

You're cheating, aren't you? Referee, where's the referee? This kid's cheating!

However, things didn't go as planned. Under Keith's glaring gaze, the flying robot suddenly lost its footing and fell into a trap full of spikes, becoming like a hedgehog.

[Thief Keith: LP4000→LP3075]

Keith: ?????

Are you all ganging up on me?

Kagura Kiryu chuckled softly and explained to the other party:

"The effect of Atla's Trap Hole: While this card is on the field, you can activate 'Trap Hole' and 'Trap Hole' Normal Trap Cards from your hand."

As a master of traps, Xiao Biao immediately grasped the intricacies of the technique and exclaimed in sincere admiration, "So powerful, so incredibly powerful!"

"This not only greatly increases concealment but also avoids the risk of traps being destroyed when placed on the field!"

He looked at Kagura Kiryu with burning eyes: "As expected of Kagura, you've grown even stronger in just a few days?"

Keith, having been tricked, snorted, "Always trying to be clever. Fine, I'll set two cards, and the turn is over."

Two face-down cards were projected onto the duel field, changing the player's control. Kagura Kiryu placed his finger on the deck:

"My turn, draw a card!"

He drew a card and added it to his hand, then without making any further moves, commanded: "Atla's Trap Hollow, attack Rogue Keith directly!"

The purple-haired bewitching insect, having received the order, let out a few sinister laughs and immediately launched a trap.

[Thief Keith: LP3075→LP1275]

"asshole!"

Thief Keith grunted as he took the damage, and Little Biao excitedly swung his fist.

"That's fantastic! That dealt a lot of damage!"

"My turn is over." Kagura chuckled lightly. "Your turn!"

"You damn bastard!"

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

After drawing the card, the thief Keith's gaze towards the Atla Worm Trap changed, becoming somewhat fearful.

What the hell is this monster? It can even create traps with its hands. How can it be so monstrous?

No wonder he was laughing so sinisterly, but it doesn't matter, the thief Keith already has a solution!

He glanced at the card he had just drawn: "Hmph, I'll activate this card! Handbook Annihilation!"

"Both players discard all cards from their hands, then draw the number of cards discarded!"

Kagura Kiryu understood: "Reset my hand to reduce the number of traps in my hand?"

Both players discarded all their cards. While Kagura wasn't paying attention, Keith secretly flicked his sleeve, revealing a hidden small machine containing several cards.

He discreetly tossed a card to the top of the deck, then drew three cards from the deck—the number he had just discarded.

Having just completed a cheating scheme, thinking it was flawless, he discovered that Kagura Kiryu was staring intently at him, especially at his wrist.

"You just cheated."

Kagura Kiryu draws cards one by one from his deck: "What a shameless duelist."

"You bastard!" Keith said guiltily, "Which eye of yours saw me cheat?!"

"Fine, don't admit it then. I'll defeat you fair and square anyway."

Keith: You have the nerve to say that? You defeated me with the Red Pit of Justice, huh?

Keith sneered; "After the cards are redrawn, I don't believe you still have many traps in your hand!"

"I activate the spell card, Angel's Mercy: Draw three cards, discard two!"

After drawing cards once more, Keith's eyes lit up, and he played a card: "Spell Card, Ancient Rules!"

"This card allows me to Special Summon one Level 5 or higher Normal Monster from my hand!"

"My attack signal summons Rocket Launcher Spider-Type 1!"
