Chapter 36: The Death of Keith

 What Keith was looking at was not the cards in the deck, but the cards hidden on his left wrist. Among them were cards that relied heavily on luck when used normally, but could almost be used to seal victory when used cheating.

card.

"My turn..." When he put his index finger on top of the deck, Keith's thumb subconsciously rested on the wristband. With his hand speed, he could fake the hidden cards without leaving a trace.

Replace it with the top card in the deck to achieve the effect of replacing one with another.

It's very simple. Just move your fingers a little and you don't have to worry about winning.

Even Kobayashi Hayato can defeat him as long as he is willing to give up his dignity as a duelist.

But for some reason, Keith didn't realize that he had naturally chosen to draw a card from the top of the deck until he had finished drawing a card and took out a card from the top of the deck.

Resisting subconsciously?

"Draw a card!"

Even though he subconsciously did something irrational, Keith laughed.

Said excitedly.

Long time no see,

He found the joy of fighting in the duel, not cheating for victory, but entrusting his fate to the deck for the sake of the process.

Before Keith became the United States Champion, he had always been a gambler. He reached the highest level by relying on the deck he believed in and the coin that no one could know the outcome of. However, after becoming the champion, he couldn't.

Just like in the past, I bet everything on coins and start obsessing about gains and losses.

The [Second Chance] card on Keith's field was also the card he added to his deck out of fear of failure.

'Speaking of which, now that I've fallen into the mud, can't it be said that I've got a second chance to challenge the top?' Keith suddenly felt relaxed. He turned over the card in his hand to confirm, revealing a

Magic card.

He looked at Hayato: "Thanks to you, Hayato Kobayashi, I suddenly know what I am going to do next. To a certain extent, what you said is indeed right. I am in the situation I am today. It is my own fault.
p>

So after I defeat you,

I will go back and compete again,

Then crawl back to the original position little by little."

"Before that, I will use this card to defeat you!" Keith said,

Played a card, "I want to activate the magic card, [Kill with one hit! Iai draws a card]!"

Like a swordsman pulling out the divine sword from its scabbard, Keith put the cards in his hand into the duel plate, and then Keith discarded a card in his hand: "[Kill with one hit! Iai draws

Card】The effect requires me to discard a card in my hand to activate, and send the number of cards on the opponent's field from the top of my deck to the graveyard, and then I draw a card from the deck and give it to both parties for confirmation."
p>

"Because you have a total of five cards on the field, I will send five cards from the top of the deck to the graveyard, and then I will draw a card." After pointing out five cards and sending them to the graveyard, Keith

His fingers rested on the duel plate again.

At this moment, Keith moved the duel plate worn on his left wrist to the position on his left waist. His right hand placed his fingers on top of the card deck as if accumulating energy, like a peerless swordsman who was about to draw his sword to strike. His whole body was full of energy.

God is extremely concentrated.

Hayato remembers the effect of the magic card [One-hit kill! Iai draws card]: "When the card drawn is [One-hit kill! Iai draws card], you can send that card to the graveyard and destroy the field.

Put all the cards on it, and then give me this effect to send destruction to the number of cards sent to the graveyard x 2000 points of damage."

"On the contrary, if what I draw is not [one-hit kill! Iai draw card],

I choose the number of cards in the graveyard that were previously sent from the deck to the graveyard and return them to the deck." Keith kept that action.

He added, with the corners of his mouth raised, "In other words,

It’s a gambling card that matches me.”

Keith completely bet the outcome of this duel on this card draw.

If he draws another card in his deck [one-hit kill! Iai draws a card], he can complete a one-hit comeback and kill Hayato instantly, just like an Iai slash; and if he cannot draw a card, Keith will have to

Return the cards in the graveyard to the deck, wasting the previous resources.

Hayato didn't know what Keith's state of mind was, but as the person who started this dark game and with his past understanding, Hayato already knew that there was a card hidden in Keith's wristband.

After all, when it comes to Keith, "Hidden Card in the Sleeve" is a classic that cannot be avoided. Even many years after the animation was released, a professional player paid tribute to Keith with a "Hidden Dragon in the Crotch" during the competition.<

/p>

In this field of dark games, there are only three things that matter: fairness, fairness, or really fairness. The fact that Keith carries a card on his body will not have any impact. After all, Kaiba also puts out a card every day.

Hang around the neck.

However, if Keith dares to cheat, Hayato can use the power of the dark game to punish Keith. Even the duel disk Hayato gives Keith is actually an enhanced version.

Obviously Keith was in an almost desperate situation. Hayato thought that Keith would definitely cheat again in this situation, but what he didn't expect was that Keith's card draw did not incur the punishment of the dark game, which showed that he had just

You didn’t actually cheat!?

It was really hard for Hayato to believe that "thief" Keith could actually change his gender. Even if he just said a line that was supposed to be a cleansing male supporting actor who changed his past, it was difficult to change Hayato's impression of him for a while.<

/p>

"It's really rare, Keith, you didn't seem to be cheating just now. It's such a pity that I prepared a little surprise for you."

"Small surprise? Ha, as expected, you guys had some tricks on the duel plate you gave me, right? It's not surprising at all." Hearing Hayato mocking him, Keith replied, "You're on guard.

Should I change cards like the duel between you and me in Duel Kingdom?"

"Yes, so do you still have the guts to continue drawing cards now, Keith?" Hayato sneered and said, "Do you have a card in your sleeve that can replace the [One Hit Kill! Iai Draw] card?

Without the means of cheating, do you have the confidence to place your future on the deck?"

Hayato's contemptuous tone did not affect Keith at all. His sunglasses covered his closed eyes: "Don't underestimate me, Hayato Kobayashi, I am the United States Champion 'The Thief' Keith. I can draw whatever I want."

It’s not difficult for me to get stuck at all. It’s not just a brat like you who can do that!”

"Answer me, my deck! Show the path of my Tamashi under the guidance of fate!"

Keith held a card in his right hand and drew an arc in the air. A faint golden light like an illusion gathered on the card at Keith's fingertips: "draw!"

"Magic card, [Kill with one hit! Iai draws a card]!!"

As Keith showed the card in his hand without looking at it, the swordsman in the [One Hit Kill! Iai Draw Card] card that he had already activated on the field also appeared.

The sharp sword was unsheathed, and the arc-shaped slash swept all the cards on both sides in an instant!

Keith's original decadent aura was wiped away. He stretched out his finger and pointed at Hayato: "Send the drawn [One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw Card] to the graveyard, and put the [Second Chance] on my field and yours

The [Hellfire Machine·Baal], [Hellfire Machine·Admiral], the field magic card [Dark World-Shadow Dystopia-] and the two cover cards on the field, a total of six cards, are all destroyed!



Keith, who seemed to have returned to the glorious professional duelist he once was, said in a deep voice: "General, King of Duels!!"

For a moment, there were only three spectators of the duel between the two - Rafiru, Baron and Ameruda. They were all shocked and couldn't believe that they actually saw such a scene.

"That guy actually managed to draw out [One-hit kill! Iai draws cards] with the power of the deck!" Baron clapped his fingers, "If six cards are destroyed, a total of 100,000 will be lost to Hayato Kobayashi."

Twelve thousand points of damage!?"

"It's unbelievable. I originally thought that guy was just a bastard who had fallen into the underground duel field, but he actually defeated that Hayato Kobayashi!" Amaluda also looked surprised. You must know that if it weren't for Hayato, he was originally scheduled to fight with him.

The person who sealed his soul in Keith's Duel was Amaluda.

If I were to take action myself, wouldn't it be possible to suffer consequences if I was careless?

Even Rafiru didn't expect Keith to successfully draw [One-hit kill! Iai draws a card], but compared to Baron and Amaluda, one of them didn't expect Hayato to lose, and the other doubted his own vision.

, Rafiru is more concerned that if Hayato loses in the dark game, wouldn’t the three of them fail to protect Hayato Kobayashi as Lord Datsu ordered?

A high jumper once said that people will die when they are killed. This is a matter of course. If you lose in the dark game, the life of ordinary people will end. Hayato Kobayashi was dead after taking a blow from Keith Howard.

!

With this thought, Rafilu noticed that although there was a surprised expression on Hayato's face, there was no fear of death at all. Instead, he showed a confident smile.

"I've seen something beyond my expectations, I'm so blessed~" Hayato opened his arms and witnessed the cards on his field burst into pieces, and the flames engulfed his body.

Seeing with his own eyes that the [Hellfire Machines] on Hayato's field and the field under his feet were destroyed by the effect of [One Hit Kill! Iai Draws Cards], Keith couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his nerves that had been tense for a long time relaxed a little.

, the squeezing fatigue came to my heart.

However, he was not a kid who got carried away when he saw some advantages. Looking at the blazing fire where Hayato was standing, he sneered: "What a nasty guy, Hayato Kobayashi, you want me to think you are

Can it be defeated with that level of counterattack?"

"Still standing there, Hayato Kobayashi!"

"Nani?! How could Hayato Kobayashi be still alive after suffering some damage?!" Amaluda was a little surprised when he heard this and looked into the fire. What he didn't expect was that Hayato was intact.

The figure actually appeared from the flames that dispersed with a wave of my hand!

Barong, who has an excellent vision, clearly saw Hayato's backcourt, which was covered by the fire: "That card is, [Fusion Defense]?"

"Chaining the damage effect of [One-hit kill! Iai draws card], I activated [Fusion Defense] to invalidate the effect of [One-hit kill! Iai draws card], and then fused a card from my fusion deck

The monster is sent to the graveyard."

Along with Hayato's voice, the "flame" on Hayato's field twisted and transformed into a long snake with black and white wings. The long snake held a black and a white sphere in each hand and had horns on its head. It coiled around Hayato and roared with a sound that was difficult for humans to understand.

After the sound, the card that was destroyed due to [One-hit kill! Iai draws a card] reappeared from the flames, while the figure of the long snake dissipated like bubbles.

Watching Hayato send the [Hellfire Machine Tiera] card into the graveyard, Keith said helplessly: "It's the so-called 'necessary sacrifice' again, Hayato Kobayashi."

"Fortunately, I really had the thought 'maybe it can succeed' just now."

"Are you disappointed, Keith?" Hayato said with a chuckle. Beside him, the resurrected [Hellfire Machine Baal] and [Hellfire Machine Admiral] were once again involved in [Dark World-Shadow Dystopia].

-] changes to dark attribute, and stares at Keith, who only has one [Second Chance] on the field.

"Are you disappointed? A little bit indeed, but who can tell the line between hope and despair? The scenery is full of hope for the future, and it can turn into despair that has destroyed everything. Then the despair that has no lower point can be recovered.

The possibility of hope."

Keith said, drawing a card from his hand: "I summon [Double-Barreled Pistol Dragon] in attack position, and use its effect. When the summon, reverse summon, or special summon is successful, select [Prison] on your field.

Start the lighter Admiral."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

On Keith's field, a bipedal mechanical dragon appeared. The "double-barreled pistol" is the lowest point among Keith's "pistols". The [Double-barreled Pistol Dragon] is not like the [Reloading Pistol Dragon].

[Revolver Dragon] has the ability to activate the effect multiple times.

Facing the demons on Hayato's field, the level 4☆ [Double-Barreled Pistol Dragon] looked so weak, but it still aimed the barrel of its head at the [Hellfire Machine Admiral] with the highest attack power.
The coin was spinning and thrown into the air, but neither of the two people in the duel looked at the coin, as if they already knew the outcome.

Hayato looked at Keith and asked a question: "Do you think you will use the effect of [Second Chance], Keith?"

"Huh? Aren't I already using 'Second Chance'?" Keith also answered the question.

"Ding~"

The coin fell to the ground, revealing two identical patterns of [Blue Eyes White Dragon].

Before the curse of [Hellfire Machine Admiral] could be uttered, it was hit and penetrated by two bullets fired from the barrel of [Double-Barreled Pistol Dragon], and was destroyed and sent to the cemetery.

Keith looked at the remaining four cards in his hand and drew two of them: "Cover two cards and my turn ends."

[Keith: 2300lp, 2 cards in hand]

【Double-barreled Pistol Dragon】【atk1700】

【Second Chance】【Card Cover】x2

Seeing that Keith had ended his turn, Hayato also drew a card from the top of the deck: "My turn, draw a card. Then activate the effect of the cover card in my backfield [Wild Greed], and draw two cards from the deck.

Card."

"As a price, skip my next two card drawing stages."

Seeing that Hayato used the effect of [Careless Greed] to increase the number of cards in his hand to three, Keith also pressed the button on his duel disk: "Chain activation of my cover card, the continuous trap card [Cry of the Living Dead"

], Special Summon [Reloader Dragon] from my graveyard in attack position."

"Have you not given up yet, Keith? Then I will also activate the effect of [Hellfire Machine·Baal] in a chain, liberating the [Double-Barreled Pistol Dragon] on your field as a substitute for liberating my monsters, and reloading the [Reload] in your graveyard.

Except Pistol Dragon."

Not surprisingly, Keith sent the [Double-Barreled Pistol Dragon] on his field to the graveyard, excluding the card that took out the [Reloading Pistol Dragon]. He had already anticipated the situation before him, and the [Cry of the Living Dead] was purely

It’s just a struggle.

Hayato looked at the cards in his hand. Due to the effect of [Wild Greed], he finally added the only card in the deck [Harpy's Feather Sweep] to his hand, and then he drew it out and activated it.

.

The [Second Chance] card on Keith's back field was torn apart by the storm together with his Gaika [Explosive Armor]. As a result, Keith's field was completely cleared, and he could only use his remaining

With 2300 basic points, he faced Hayato's [Hellfire Machine·Baal] with an attack power of 2600 points on the field.

"What a majestic monster. Although it is very strange to use words to describe natural scenery to describe duel monsters, at this moment, I can only use this word to describe the monsters on your field." Looking at the demon god on Hayato's field, there is no longer any

Keith, who had no ability to resist, said with emotion.

"Humph, that's right. This is the monster that manifested itself as the dark power in my heart after I joined the 'Doma' organization. Through the duel with you, I have more or less tested part of their power.



Hearing Hayato's words, Keith showed a strange smile.

"The monster your mind has become? Then I can only say that it is a perfect match for you, but are you the kind of guy who would join other inexplicable organizations, Hayato Kobayashi?"

"As long as it can bring me strength, Keith, who was once the United States Champion, you should understand, right? You can give up anything for the sake of victory. What do you think, do you want to join 'Doma', Keith?"

Rafilu obviously asked Hayato to invite Keith before Hayato's duel started, but it was only now that the outcome of the duel was locked and victory was within reach that he invited Keith.

"Oh, I'll just take it as what you said is true." Keith obviously didn't believe what Hayato said, "You should have said something like 'If you don't join the organization, you'll die', right? But you won't say it.

What will change? Personally, I have no interest in joining any organization, whether it is 'Ghoul' or 'Doma'."

"And I hate you to death. Joining an organization with a personality like yours will never end well. I don't want to be a member of someone you 'sacrifice for the sake of righteousness.'"

"Really? It's such a pity then. I activate the field magic card [Oliha Gang's Barrier] and then enter the battle phase."

The [Dark World-Shadow Dystopia-] that Hayato activated before was replaced by a green halo, and the dark green shadow in the lamp on [Hellfire Machine Baal] faded back to cyan light, but [Oliha]

The power of Gang's barrier climbed up again.

He seemed to be a little disdainful of the power of [Oliha Gang] [Hellfire Machine Baal]. The spear in his hand hit the ground and pushed away the power entangled in his body, but it was not completely

He resisted and still collected part of it on his own weapon, which increased his attack power a little.

【Hellfire Machine·Baal】【】

"[Oliha Gang's Barrier] has the ability to increase the attack power of all monsters on my field by 500 points. I entered the combat phase, and then [Hellfire Machine Baal] directly attacked 'Rogue' Keith Howard!



The wind and thunder were controlled by the demon and restrained at the spearhead. Looking at the giant demon's condescending attack, Keith's face was somewhat nervous, but there was no unwillingness to fail or fear of death.

【Keith:2300lp→0】

The power of [Olihagun's Barrier] attached to the spear that penetrated Keith's body captured Keith's soul and poured into the card.

And as Keith's soul left the body, the [Oliha Gang's barrier] under the two people's feet began to shrink not long after it spread out. Keith, who was out of the body, seemed to see something following him in a trance.

The soul enters the card together.

Without any mercy for life, Hayato completed the kill of Keith without any hesitation and won the duel. He lowered his head and took out the card of [Oliha Gang's Barrier] placed in the field area.

, in the green ring on that card, there is an appearance of Keith’s soul.

"The seventh sephiroth of the reverse Kabbalah qliphoth, the enemy of 'victory' [Baal]." Hayato raised the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself, "If it was Baal, the enemy of 'victory', who killed Keith, then Keith

Can Si be regarded as..."

Hayato's voice was very soft, and the three Rafilu who approached him because the duel was over didn't hear what he said, and they didn't care either.

Witnessed by the three of them, Hayato completed the first attempt to seal the souls of other duelists. This was like a gangster colluding with a gangster who shot and killed someone on the gangster's video. Now Kobayashi Hayato has already

He has completely embarked on the road of no return and has become a "partner" that they can really trust.

Seeing Rafilu and the others approaching, Hayato threw the card that sealed Keith's soul, and Rafilu reached out to catch it. Although [Oliha Gang's Barrier] will immediately seal the soul of the loser in the duel,

However, "Oliha Gang God" does not have a remote upload function, so you still have to wait until you return to the headquarters of "Doma" to offer your soul as a sacrifice and hand it over to Dazi.

Rafilu glanced at the card and said nothing. After putting it away, he said: "Then, let's continue looking for the next target. The first thing is——"
