Don't be sad, girl, A+ rank, although not comparable to Nia's monster level, at least you have one more plus than the men.
After the overly ridiculous Mystic Mine rating level concluded, the opened stone gate led to another space connected after the stalactite cave.
It was a completely different style of space; the first thing that appeared before the four after the stone gate opened was a winding wall.
The area occupied by the stalactite cave behind was already exaggerated enough. But the area of the labyrinth before them was even more astounding.
Everyone was amazed that such a vast space actually existed beneath Fusion Academy.
Why did the academy build such a vast space underground?
Or perhaps the history of this underground space was even older than Fusion Academy, and the academy was simply built on top of this underground space.
But no matter the truth, the thick iron door secured with chains could prove that Fusion Academy itself was aware of the existence of this underground space.
"After Mystic Mine, it's a labyrinth now?"
You Ling, stroking his smooth chin which felt quite good, thought silently.
If the underground space before them was also recreated by a Field Magic Card like before.
Then in You Ling's not-so-comprehensive Yu-Gi-Oh! memories, there really wasn't any Field Magic Card related to a labyrinth.
But speaking of the most classic original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, the so-called labyrinth field was known by almost everyone.
It was a labyrinth environment, but You Ling and the others, with the guidance of the Despair God card's light, didn't hit a wall even once, and in just 10 minutes, they walked from the entrance of the underground labyrinth to the exit.
Aisha: "This is definitely a new record for me walking through a labyrinth in my life!"
Normal people's lives also don't include the experience of walking through an underground labyrinth.
One can only hope that in the future, you won't lose your way in the labyrinth truly named 「Life」.
Aisha: "(」><)」 Mr. You Ling, don't suddenly bring up such a heavy topic."
At the exit of the labyrinth, a huge platform was set up, with the platform divided by grids similar to a Duel Monster field.
You Ling recognized it at a glance; this was something called a Dueling Arena .
It belonged to the early products of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime; because it was too cumbersome, it was perfectly replaced by the later Duel Disks.
However, the scene before him gradually matched the development in You Ling's memory.
"A duel might be about to start."
You Ling voiced his premonition.
"Duel, duel with whom?"
Surveying the complex yet quiet surroundings, Kevin's face was full of confusion.
"Here, there's a hint similar to the previous space."
Rovik carefully searching the details of the labyrinth environment, was again the first to discover the key text hint.
This time the hint was simpler, only two lines of text.
「( ̄▽ ̄)~ If you want to continue forward, stand on the Dueling Arena and defeat the Labyrinth's Guardian in a Tag Duel.」
「(ー`´ー) Remember, it's a Tag Duel!」
"Stand on the Dueling Arena? What is it?"
"I think the Dueling Arena refers to this."
One step ahead of others, You Ling was the first to step onto the Dueling Arena and patted the tabletop on the arena used for placing cards.
The square Dueling Arena provided space for Duelists to stand at each corner, opposite each other, perfectly forming a 2v2 four-person duel field.
"Hmph, so that's it, a Tag Duel on this arena. Omoshiroi !"
Seeing Aisha step onto the Dueling Arena first, Kevin also very consciously, without any discussion, completely gave no chance to the remaining two, filling the second spot for the Tag Duel.
Aisha: "But the most crucial opponent, that Labyrinth's Guardian, where is it?"
You Ling also wanted to know where the Labyrinth Guardian was. This gloomy underground space, even with the illumination of luminescent microorganisms, didn't look like a place where anyone would live.
However, the next second after You Ling's doubt arose, the Dueling Arena, sensing the magic power of their two Elven Eyes , began to operate.
The heavy sound of machinery running, accompanied by the activation of a device similar to a projection equipment, two bald, burly men dressed in oriental attire were projected and appeared directly opposite the arena.
"Welcome to challenge the duel of the underground labyrinth!"
"We are the Labyrinth's Guardians, the Paradox Brothers!"
Although the translucent figures weren't real, the Duelists with the characters 「Lost」 (Mí ) and 「Maze」 written on their foreheads respectively, still made You Ling couldn't help but sigh, this production was too faithful.
The designer of this underground space definitely watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.
Kevin looked at the Paradox Brothers standing opposite and nodded in understanding.
"I see, we need to defeat the Labyrinth's Guardians in a duel. I quite like this way of passing the stage."
Compared to the method of passing by measuring cup sizes, You Ling also expressed his preference for this simple and direct duel.
"Our first time fighting side by side, is this also the fate of rivals, Aisha Carlos?"
It was clear that because it was a Tag Duel with You Ling, Kevin's fighting spirit was exceptionally high.
But You Ling was thinking more at this moment.
This battle of the Paradox Brothers was too classic. And this duel was different from traditional duels to a certain extent.
"Anyway, be careful, Kevin."
You Ling drew his deck from the thigh card box and placed it in the card slot deployed by the Elven Eye.
"Hmph, I don't need your concern, Ai↑sha↓!"
Kevin also loaded his deck.
Paradox Brothers LP: 4000
VS
Aisha & Kevin LP: 4000
"Duel——!"
"I'll go first, draw!"
Sure enough, the first turn privilege, determined by the Dueling Arena, went to the bald man with the character 「lost」(Mi) on his head.
"Activate Magic Card——[Cost Down] !"
The bald man directly placed the Magic Card on the arena tabletop; in this duel, all card operations on the tabletop would be reflected in the center of the square Dueling Arena.
[Cost Down Magic Card Effect: Discard 1 card to activate. This turn, the Levels of monsters in your hand are reduced by 2.]
"After I discard one card, the Level of monsters in my hand is reduced by 2 stars. This way, a Level 5 monster that requires a Tribute Summon can be directly summoned onto the field without tributes."
The bald man continued to place a card horizontally in Defense Position in the monster zone on the tabletop.
"No tributes needed, Normal Summon the Level 5 monster [Labyrinth Wall]!"
[Labyrinth Wall ★★★★★ (5-Star → 3-Star) EARTH][Rock-Type ATK: 0 DEF: 3000]
When the bald man Normal Summoned the 3000 DEF [Labyrinth Wall], the entire Dueling Arena, and even the entire space, shook violently.
Immediately following, a winding and complex labyrinth field rose from within the Dueling Arena, separating the positions where the Paradox Brothers and Aisha & Kevin stood.
"Although it's not written on this card's text, [Labyrinth Wall] has the effect of changing the duel environment into a labyrinth."
"An effect not written on the card, isn't that rule-bending !?" You Ling pointed out unceremoniously.
