On the large aerial Duel Field, You Feng and Marik Ishtar had arrived. The two stood ten thousand meters in the air to Duel, surrounded by the night view of Domino City.
The cold wind howled continuously. The top eight Duelists present and some of Yami Yugi's friends were all watching.
"You Feng! Ganbatte!!!" Téa Gardner immediately started cheering him on.
"You Feng! You must defeat that scoundrel Marik Ishtar! He dared to deceive our feelings!" Joey Wheeler roared.
"I hope to face you in the semifinals!" Mai Valentine said with a smile, lightly stroking her hair.
"A man whose fate holds variables; even my Millennium Necklace cannot see through him." Ishizu Ishtar said softly.
"A clash of Gods, who will emerge victorious? It truly makes one eager to witness!" Seto Kaiba said, crossing his arms.
"You Feng! Today, I stake the name of God! Whoever loses will hand over the Egyptian God Card in their hand. I will reclaim Slifer the Sky Dragon and make you truly realize who the master of God is!" Marik Ishtar's voice became extremely hoarse. It was clear he had been enveloped by darkness. Holding his scepter, his sinister laughter echoed through the night sky.
"I'd be glad to accompany you!!!"
"Duel Start!! My turn! Draw!" You Feng said indifferently.
"Don't rush! Shadow Game, begin!!!" Marik Ishtar's Facial Art began. Waving his scepter, a massive cloud of black mist started to spread.
"Hm? I've always been curious if my Shadow Game can contend with the Millennium Items. Shadow Game, begin!" Seeing the surroundings gradually enveloped by black mist, You Feng roared.
On his side, half a cloud of black mist also surged forth. The black mists from both sides were clearly different, yet they could contend with each other.
"You can also activate a Shadow Game?!" Marik Ishtar was somewhat surprised, his eyes sinking. This You Feng truly wasn't simple.
"Surprised? It seems I've scared you." You Feng smiled faintly.
"From my hand, I Normal Summon a Monster Card in face-down Defense Position to the field. I also Set two cards. I end my turn!" You Feng declared.
"Why is there suddenly so much black mist around?" Téa Gardner asked worriedly.
"This is a Shadow Game..." Yami Yugi said in a deep voice.
"A Shadow Game?! That Marik Ishtar, he actually activated a Shadow Game! How despicable." Joey Wheeler gritted his teeth.
"What I perceive is not only Marik Ishtar's Shadow Game." Yami Yugi frowned, looking up at You Feng.
"You mean, You Feng also activated a Shadow Game?" Mai Valentine was shocked.
"Hm? Does You Feng also possess Millennium Items?" Seto Kaiba frowned.
"Speaking of which, I remember the scene when You Feng fought Maximillion Pegasus before. Those black mists did appear then." Joey Wheeler suddenly realized that You Feng could also activate a Shadow Game.
"Watashi no turn! Draw!" Marik Ishtar cackled and drew a card.
"From my hand, I Normal Summon a Monster Card, Vampiric Leech!!!" Marik Ishtar flipped over a card, and a giant worm dug up from the ground.
Vampiric Leech
EARTH Attribute/Level 4/Fiend-Type
ATK 500/DEF 1200
"I activate this card's effect! I can inflict damage to my opponent equal to this card's ATK! Hehe, enjoy the painful damage of my Shadow Game!" Marik Ishtar cackled.
The Vampiric Leech shot a large cannon blast. You Feng grunted, feeling a part of his body dissolve and emit black smoke from the realistic impact.
This realistic impact was so intense that he couldn't help but groan.
-500LP! You Feng's remaining LP: 3500.
"It's not over yet! During the turn this card is activated, before the End Phase, I can discard one card from my hand to the Graveyard, and then this card changes to Defense Position! Hehe, which one should I choose? You'll do!" Marik Ishtar discarded a card, and the Vampiric Leech changed to Defense Position.
"I Set one card, and end my turn!" Marik Ishtar's smile grew even more sinister.
You Feng's eyes narrowed. He had already figured out what card Marik Ishtar had discarded to the Graveyard.
"Watashi no turn! Draw!" You Feng drew a card. His gaze locked on for a moment, then he chuckled.
You Feng was considering whether to take advantage and attack this turn, but the risk was too great. If his opponent Special Summoned The Winged Dragon of Ra, ignoring Spell/Trap effects, and he had a monster in Attack Position on the field, he could be defeated in a single turn.
"I Set one more card, and end my turn!" You Feng still chose not to attack.
"What's wrong?! Are you so scared you can't even attack? Hehe haha!!!" Marik Ishtar seemed extremely pleased.
