Chapter 104: The Despicable Card Printer
Hearing Keith's words, Mai Valentine turned back and glanced at him. After thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Could you be Bandit Keith, the U.S. Champion who plundered countless Match Prize Money?"
"Heh heh, you've got sharp eyes, young lady." Keith saw that his identity had been recognized and arrogantly raised his chin.
Yugi and Joey Wheeler glared at him angrily.
"Yugi, you guys know this guy too?"
Joey Wheeler heard Mai Valentine's words and said angrily, "This scoundrel commanded his Subordinates to kidnap me to a Cave and forced me to Duel. After his Subordinates lost the Duel, he even sent people to trap us all in the Cave. If we weren't lucky, we almost couldn't get out.",
"I knew it, you're just a drag on Yugi. You even got kidnapped, hahahaha. Anyway, the only thing you're good at is being lucky." Mai Valentine teased after Joey Wheeler finished recounting his experience. She had challenged Joey Wheeler once and, despite having a huge advantage, was successfully turned around by Joey Wheeler using Time Wizard combined with Baby Dragon. It was no wonder she couldn't get over losing to such a Gambling Card.,,,
"You bastard!"
While Joey Wheeler and Mai Valentine were interacting "enthusiastically" beside him, Hayato noticed that Yugi's eyes, looking at the Field, were full of worry.
"Kaiba is best at combined suppression with Powerful Monsters," Hayato analyzed, "but Toon Monsters have the ability not to be destroyed by Battle. Although Pegasus will still take Battle Damage, it's clear that his Life Points are decreasing slower than Kaiba's, who is taking Direct Attacks.",
Everything in the Spectator Area outside didn't affect Kaiba and Pegasus's Duel. The two sides were battling quite intensely. Using a Set Trap, Kaiba restrained the constantly moving Toon Monster, then simultaneously used two Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Attack and Annihilate it. The overflowing Battle Damage caused Pegasus's Life Points to drop all the way down to a mere 1000 Points.,,,,,
Meanwhile, Pegasus had been constantly using Toon Monsters for Direct Attacks. Although Kaiba blocked some of them with Cards like Negate Attack, Kaiba's Life Points were also only at 1500 Points.,,,,
After the intense exchange, both sides' Resources were almost depleted. Kaiba's Lord of D. on the Field was also destroyed in the previous Battle, but Pegasus's shameless Toon World still remained on the Field.,,,,,,
Looking at the three Set Cards in Pegasus's Spell/Trap Zone, Kaiba hesitated slightly. According to his usual style, he would have already attacked with the two invincible Blue-Eyes White Dragon on his Field. But the opponent in this Duel was Pegasus, the creator of Duel Monsters, and the Bet was his own brother. Kaiba had to be extremely cautious.,,,,,
Drawing the Card for this Turn, Kaiba was delighted. What he drew was the third Blue-Eyes White Dragon in his Deck, and he still had a Polymerization, an Ancient Rules, and a De-Fusion in his Hand. A plan formed in his mind.,,,,,,,,,,
'Pegasus has three Set Cards. Then I'll first use one Blue-Eyes White Dragon to test the waters and Attack. If it gets Restrained, I'll Activate Polymerization to dodge the Trap's Attack and Fusion Summon Ultimate Dragon. Even if Pegasus Activates another Trap, I have De-Fusion to dodge one more time. After that, Pegasus is sure to lose!',,,,,,,,,,
Thinking this, Kaiba smirked and was about to Activate the Ancient Rules in his Hand to Special Summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon.,,,,,
But just as Kaiba was about to play the Card in his Hand, Pegasus on the opposite side suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
"Stop, Kaiba boy, don't move at all, don't let me see that Card, okay~" Pegasus smiled and revealed the Set Card on the Field. "The Card I Set on the Field is Prophecy. Targeting the Hand Card you just drew, Prophecy's Effect is for me to make a Prophecy.",
"Using 2000 Points as the boundary, I will guess whether it's higher or lower. If I guess correctly, that Hand Card of yours will be added to my Hand.",
Yugi's eyes widened. "This is bad! Pegasus's Millennium Eye can Mind Read, so that Card's Effect is guaranteed to Activate!"
And Pegasus indeed said with great confidence, "I Prophecy that the ATK of your Hand Card is 2000 or more.",
"What?!" Kaiba had a very shocked Expression.
In the past, he had once seen a Duel Monsters Match where Pegasus dueled. At that time, his Opponent was Bandit Keith, who was currently sitting in the Spectator Area. Back then, Pegasus didn't even Duel himself; instead, he wrote down a Note and had a spectator Duel in his place. That child was even less than ten years old.
Bandit Keith was quite angry at the time, thinking Pegasus was looking down on him. But what surprised everyone was that the Note Pegasus left wrote down all the reactions Keith would make. That child followed the Operations on the Note and actually defeated Keith, who was already the U.S. Champion at the time.
Kaiba at that time observed everything, but he thought it was all just a performance put on by the two of them together. After all, there were many Bets on that Duel, and perhaps Bandit Keith was bribed to put on a show just to get a huge amount of Prize Money.
"Horya~ Kaiba boy, you seem to have a very surprised Expression." Pegasus smiled, his eyes narrowed. "In that case, I'll make the Prophecy even more precise.",
"The Card you just drew and added to your Hand is a Level 8, LIGHT Attribute, Dragon Type, with 3000 ATK and 2500 Defense. It's your Ace Monster,"
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon!",,,,,
"You bastard, can it be that you can really Mind Read?!" Kaiba was extremely shocked. Pegasus's Prophecy could no longer be described as "guessing"; his Hand was completely exposed to him. With reluctance, he placed the Blue-Eyes White Dragon onto the Duel Platform. The Duel Platform's Mechanism flipped, sending the Card to Pegasus's Hand on the opposite side.,,,,,,,
In the Spectator Area, Téa Ranted, "That kind of Card must also be one of a kind in the world, right? A Card that only benefits himself, truly too despicable!"
Watching Pegasus add the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to his own Hand, Kaiba's face darkened. No longer worried about the two unknown Set Cards, he directly commanded the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Attack.,,,,,
"Burst Stream of Destruction!"
There was only a defenseless Toon World on the Field. Pegasus faced the two streams of White Dragon's breath coming towards him without fear, revealing the Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone. "What a Reckless Attack, Kaiba boy~, The Effect of Draining Shield, I will recover Life Points equal to the ATK value of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which is 3000 Points~",,
[Pegasus: 1000LP → 4000LP]
"Damn it, but I still have another Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Seeing Pegasus's Life Points recover to their state at the start of the Duel, Kaiba said unhappily. But before he could gloat, he saw the stream of Light breath heading towards Pegasus was suddenly broken apart by a series of Chains. Those unbreakable Chains went along the direction the Attack came from, tightly wrapping around one Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"Dark Binding. Monsters wrapped in these Dark Chains will lose the ability to Attack and change Battle Position." Pegasus still had that composed Expression on his face.
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon] [ATK3000 → 2300].
"My time, Draw!" Pegasus drew a Card, and a smile appeared on his face. "Kaiba boy, this Duel, I win!"
He only knows how to Print Cards for himself, too despicable, unforgivable, Pegasus!
Unless you help me Print Cards too, otherwise I won't forgive you.
