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

Chapter 5 The Dark Magician's First Battle

Kiryu Kagura pointed to one of the two magical beasts he summoned next: "Cerberus II, attack the two Minotaur on the opponent's field!"

"Magic Missile!"

Cerberus opened its massive maw, from which a blue ball of lightning condensed, and it fired at a minotaur in the Gurus Hunter's Field.

The Minotaur's attack power is only 1700, so it is naturally no match for Cerberus, whose attack power has been increased to 1900.

Soon, the minotaur was electrocuted and disappeared from the dueling arena.

[Rare Card Hunter, LP4000→LP3800]

"what!"

The hunter was knocked to the ground by the powerful impact.

"It's not over yet! Next up is the captain charging into battle, attacking the Minotaur."

The battle-hardened captain immediately raised his twin swords and charged towards the Minotaur.

The minotaur brandished his axe in resistance, but it was to no avail. The captain's attack power was 2000, and he cleaved the minotaur in two with a single sword strike.

[Rare Card Hunter, LP3800→LP3500]

The burly man in black screamed and struggled to his feet, but then chuckled lewdly: "Hehehehe, kid, I admit you're strong."

"But didn't you say you'd finish me off this round? I still have a Minotaur with 1700 attack and 3500 health on the field. It takes 5200 damage to bring it down to zero."

"But your two magical beasts on the field, one with an attack power of 1900 and the other with 2400, totaling 4300, can't take away all my life points."

Jonouchi also looked at Kagura Kiryu. "Right," he thought, "a duelist of his caliber shouldn't make calculation errors. So what exactly is it...?"

To everyone's surprise, Kagura Kiryu not only didn't refute him, but instead smiled and went along with his words:

"That's right, and the Magical Beast Cerberus also has a side effect: at the end of the Battle Phase when this card has fought, all its Spell Counters are removed."

"In other words, once my combat phase ends, they will revert to their original 1400 attack power."

"Oh dear, this is a very bad situation."

"Who knows, you might just turn the tables and kill me?"

Kagura Kiryu's expression became more teasing, and finally he couldn't help but reveal a somewhat sinister smile: "If I hadn't drawn this card..."

With a "sunny" expression, he inserted one of his last two cards into the Duel Disk: "Quick-Play Spell, Quick-Play Summon (Original Card) activated!"

"What?!"

This card is an original card from the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX era, so naturally it's not in Kiryu Kagura's deck.

But he has a foster sister who claims to be a veteran duelist.

Seeing that Kagura Kiryu didn't even have a card box to store his cards, the older woman seemed to think he was the kind of weak card player who just piled up junk cards, so she gave him a few cards that he didn't need.

This Quick Summoning card is one of the few that can be used, so Kagura Kiryu simply adjusted his deck and unexpectedly used it in the first duel.

With a kind smile and full of energy, he explained the cause of death to the other party: "The effect of Quick-Play Summon is to summon one monster from your hand."

"Of course, if this summoning is a high-level summoning, it will also require sacrifices."

Kagura Kiryu held the last card between his fingers, raised it high, and his eyes couldn't hide his excitement:

"I offer the Magical Beast Cerberus that attacked the field and the captain who charged into battle as sacrifices to summon this monster!"

He flipped the card over, revealing a black cloak, a jeweled wand, and a handsome face to everyone.

"The highest-ranking magician, transcending three thousand years of time and bonds, has descended upon my stage to fulfill my dreams and ambitions!"

"Come, my most loyal servant, the Dark Magician! Summon!"

Cerberus and the captain were freed as sacrifices, turning into scattered specks of light and dissipating.

A dark magic circle opened in the dueling arena, and a dark figure leaped out nimbly from it, holding a magic wand and standing high above the arena.

[Dark Magician, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 2500, Normal Monster]

"The Black Magician..."

Jonouchi stared in shock at the dark magician on the field who bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to Yugi Muto's ace. Finally regaining his senses, he shouted:

"A dark magician? Besides games, there are actually users of dark magic!?"

Not only were the people in the city shocked, but the hunters of Gurus were also shocked as they stared at the legendary monster on the field.

As a member of the Gluthus, he naturally knew that there was another Master who was a dark magician within the organization...

But there's actually a third user of dark magic in this world, besides Yugi Muto and Pandora!?

Kagura Kiryu looked at the tall, black-robed figure on his field, unable to hide his excitement.

It was done. It really was done.

He summoned the dark magician using holographic projection!

This was practically his lifelong dream: to wear a Duel Disk like in anime, summon a Dark Magician with Duel Images, and then fight against duelists from all walks of life.

Kiryu Kagura said with a slightly more serious expression, "Of course, because I activated the magic card, Cerberus will also place another counter."

【Magical Beast Cerberus, Attack Power 1900 → Attack Power 2400】

【Magical Beast Cerberus, Attack Power 2400 → Attack Power 2900】

"The first magical beast with an attack power of 2900! Attack the Minotaur!"

This time, the magical beast didn't use magic bullets; instead, it extended its sharp claws and killed the last remaining minotaur with a single swipe.

"what!"

[Rare Card Hunter, LP3500→LP2300]

"The Black Magician!"

Kagura Kiryu raised his right hand and pointed at the burly man, Gurus: "Attack directly against the Rare Card Hunter!"

The dark magician glanced coldly at Gurus, his wand gathering purple magic power that gradually formed a purplish-black magic bullet.

He leaped high into the air, his magic power causing the magic bullet to spin twice before finally shooting straight at Gurus.

A jet-black magic bullet, imbued with the exquisite skill of a top-level magician, shot towards the black-clad Gurus. Kagura Kiryu shouted out the ultimate move he had dreamed of making since childhood:

"Dark Magician!"

The magic bullet struck the rare card hunter hard, scorching him until he lost consciousness. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to his knees, face down, his cards scattered all over the floor.

[Rare Card Hunter, LP2200→LP0]

"I won! What an interesting duel!"

Kagura Kiryu mimicked Yuki Jaden's salute, then, realizing he might get beaten up, silently decided to go back and think of a cool line.

The 3D image gradually began to dissipate. At that moment, the black magician on the field suddenly turned around and glanced at Kagura Kiryu.

He nodded slightly, his attitude seemingly very respectful, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

Then the figure quickly vanished, turning into specks of light.

Kagura Kiryu rubbed his eyes and realized it wasn't a hallucination.

"So, could it be that one of my three Dark Magician cards is actually harboring a fairy?"
