Chapter 426

"Finals!"

Referee Isono stood in the middle of the duel field, You Xuan and Arbiter stood opposite each other, neither of them had any expression on their faces.

Everyone else had already stood on both sides outside the field, looking at the stage with worry or expectation.

"You Xuan..." Mokuba muttered, "Will it be okay?"

Although he hoped his brother would win in the last round, You Xuan was also a friend he had a very good relationship with. And they had all seen what a terrifying guy that Arbiter was, definitely not someone ordinary people could defeat.

He naturally also knew that You Xuan's strength was also extraordinary, but he couldn't help but worry.

"Won't."

"Eh?"

Mokuba turned his head unexpectedly, only to see Kaiba standing calmly with his arms crossed, standing quietly behind him, his eyes actually seeming to have more confidence than the person involved.

"... Brother?" He couldn't help but speak.

"This guy will have a way."

Kaiba narrowed his eyes, looking directly at You Xuan, and the second half of the sentence was not spoken out loud.

—After winning against him so arrogantly, he immediately lost to others casually, he could never forgive that either.

At this time, Hibiki Midori had already left Hibiki Kouyou's hospital room and came to watch the finals. This person was the culprit who caused her brother to fall, and although she didn't know the specific origin of Arbiter, she knew that he was definitely not a good person, and keeping him would cause greater harm to the world.

She naturally hoped that You Xuan would win.

"Fujiki You Xuan, I have also learned about you," Arbiter narrowed his eyes slightly. "Very interesting."

"Oh?" You Xuan was also interested. "Expand on that?"

Arbiter didn't seem to expect him to react so calmly, which was a bit unexpected, but he still chuckled and continued: "A young man who originally had no talent, betting everything to walk this path of hegemony, and then actually being able to walk to this step..."

He narrowed his eyes and clicked his tongue twice.

"It's really an inspiring and admirable duelist path."

You Xuan: "?"

What is this guy suddenly saying?

But before he could ask more, Isono on the side had already swung his arm down and shouted: "Finals start!"

After speaking, he flew off the field.

Arbiter didn't say much and unfolded his Duel Disk. You Xuan felt inexplicable, but didn't ask anymore, and also unfolded his Duel Disk.

"Duel!" x2

【Arbiter, LP 4000】

【You Xuan, LP 4000】

"I'll go first, draw."

The choice came to You Xuan, and he naturally had nothing to be polite about with the slippery snake. Without saying a word, he took the first move and drew a card directly.

"I activate the Spell Card 'TakeOver5'."

You Xuan played this anime god card of Judai's first.

"Send the top five cards of my Deck to the Graveyard."

Five cards were drawn and placed on the Duel Disk. The cards went into the dark Graveyard area one by one with sliding and mechanical sounds. He looked at them one by one, and had a rough idea of the resources sent to the Graveyard.

"I summon 'Ojama Yellow' in Defense Position," You Xuan said.

【Ojama Yellow, DEF 1000】

"I set two more face-down cards, turn end."

"Accumulating resources in the Graveyard first in the first turn, as well as a defensive formation."

Arbiter said calmly, but the light rippling in his eyes looked increasingly strange.

"Standard first turn, very consistent with your style, or rather, the current Fujiki You Xuan, right?" He smiled and said. "But has your dueling always been like this?"

You Xuan didn't understand what he was referring to, but didn't pay attention for the time being.

"Silence, huh, interesting," Arbiter's half-face was eerily gloomy. "Everyone is fighting with secrets, it's understandable not to want to say more."

You Xuan frowned.

Arbiter didn't continue for the time being: "My turn, draw."

He paused, the grid in the field area on one side of the Duel Disk popped out, and the card he drew didn't join his hand, but was played directly onto it.

"Since it's the final battle, I won't talk nonsense, let me activate it directly here—"

"—Field Spell 'Orichalcos Shunoros'!"

The card was directly absorbed into the Duel Disk, and electric current instantly surged out from his Duel Disk, until it spread to the whole field. Green light erupted with him as the center, and the hexagram barrier quickly opened on the ground, until the field was completely occupied by the green light barrier.

Everyone present was no longer unfamiliar with this dangerous barrier. Only this time, it was more dazzling than any previous light, the green light was deeper, and more dangerous. When the beam of light rushed into the sky, it seemed like a thunder dragon roared, and streaks of lightning clustered around the thunder and churned downward.

"Brother, that barrier again!" Mokuba said. "People who lose in this duel will..."

"Hmm, nothing to be surprised about, this is a matter of course," Kaiba said calmly.

At the same time, his gaze looked at You Xuan like a knife.

But you will definitely win in the end, right, You Xuan?

"In this way, until this duel ends, only one person can walk out of this barrier."

Arbiter slowly drew another card from his hand.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed', draw two cards from the Deck."

He drew two cards unhurriedly, and then another card in his hand was played immediately.

"Spell Card 'Graceful Charity'. Draw three cards from the Deck, then discard two cards from my hand."

He then looked at You Xuan.

"In fact, I feel it's a pity that we don't have to kill each other like this. Through the matches these days, I can see that there are unexpectedly some similarities between you and me."

"Oh?" You Xuan raised an eyebrow. "For example?"

He was curious about what similarities he could see with a slippery snake.

"For example, we are both good at driving various different decks, will never easily reveal our trump cards, and are always holding the winning ticket."

Arbiter seemed to be observing him during the conversation.

"And... both make people unable to see the depth easily."

You Xuan said nothing.

Arbiter didn't care about his attitude of ignoring him from beginning to end, just smiled, and continued.

"But I can see your difference, I will take out my trump card in this duel...

Summon 'Balrog' from my hand!" (Original card)

Flames appeared on his field, turning into a dancing vortex. The raging fire began to converge, as if guided by an unknown force, as if it had been given life and had a form...

That was a huge fire-red monster with a tail flame, its eyes like two burning flames. In its hand was a long sword transformed by flames, the blade was transparent and scorching, flowing with flame textures like a living thing, and on its head was a mass of never-extinguishing flames churning.

【Balrog, ATK 1000】

"The effect of Balrog: its ATK increases by 500 points for every FIRE monster on the field. It is FIRE attribute itself, so ATK increases by 500."

"And gain the effect of Orichalcos Shunoros, ATK increases by another 500."

【Balrog, ATK 2000】

"Brother, it's Amelda's..." Mokuba couldn't help but say.

Kaiba didn't speak, but nodded.

Most of the people present were seeing this strange monster for the first time, because this card was not from the outside world. This was a card printed by Xin Xin Duoma itself, and it was also the main monster used by Xin Xin Duoma's Three Swordsmen Amelda when he first fought Kaiba.

"Are you confused?" Arbiter chuckled. "Don't worry, you will understand its power soon."

Saying this, he waved his hand slightly.

"Battle. Balrog, attack 'Ojama Yellow'."
