What Does The Kuriboh Say?

God's attack caused a great shock. The released energy couldn't find an exit in the sealed stone room, so it could only wreak havoc, destroying everything it passed by indiscriminately…

…even space itself.

[Dartz, LP 4200 →LP 0]

The behind-the-scenes boss was very witty, and he released the control and ran away the moment before his LP returned to zero.

In this way, it seemed that Dartz had not been idle for ten thousand years, maybe he had gone to a certain port to study, and he was really fast when he ran…

Fortunately, he slipped fast enough, otherwise, if Osiris sent another Super Conductive Wave Thunder Cannon, even he would not be able to bear it.

After escaping, Dartz was lost in thought about the duel.

Now he only felt that Yuei Vu seemed more and more unpredictable.

At first, Yuei Vu was just a man with a mysterious origin to him. After all, Doma has always been in control of the situation in every corner of the earth. They knew everyone and everything, and nothing was beyond their control.

But Yuei Vu was a mystery to them. This person seemed to have just popped out of nowhere, with neither background nor past, and he used a HERO deck that even Dartz had never heard of. Whether the man himself or the deck he used, hasn't appeared in any record.

Then there was a large group of crazy duelists who were suspected to be related to him. These duelists appeared all over the world, their behavior seemed to be weird and irregular, but it felt like there was a special chain of command between them.

If only that's the case, Yuei Vu was just another threat to Dartz. It deserved to be taken seriously, and may need to be ruled out in advance depending on the situation, but nothing more.

However, after this duel, Yuei Vu's threat in Dartz's eyes instantly rose several levels.

Because he was surprised to find that this guy seemed to know him very well!

Whether it was his tactics, his own deck, or the history of Atlantis, the origin of Orichalcos, Yuei Vu seemed to know all of these!

Bear in mind that Dartz hardly ever mentioned these things to anyone. Especially the deck he is using now – the ink on the cards that have just been printed was not dry yet! He has never played against anyone with this deck, how could anyone know his tactics?

However, the feeling Yuei Vu gave him in the duel just now…

It was as if he was fully aware of his deck construction and thinking, and prepared a lot of counters.

Is it a coincidence?

Or...

…Is this guy just an autistic guy who takes revenge on society?

Could it be that this guy was actually the Duel King of the underworld, specially came here to mess with the mentality of people…

Anyway, it was true that Yuei Vu caused him great trouble in the duel just now. This made Dartz, who had absolute confidence in his own strength, slightly shaken.

In any case, this Duel King must not be left alone.

Next, even if using unscrupulous methods such as taking hostages, playing dirty tricks, etc., he must first clear the Duel King out of the game.

Anyway, Dartz wasn't a gentleman in the first place, and he didn't need to talk about morals when dealing with those who didn't agree with him.

Besides playing cards, there were many ways to solve the problem. Darzi was the best at tricking outside the table.

Just thinking about it, Dartz reckoned that the attack of Osiris over there should be almost over, so he closed his eyes and tried to explore the situation in the stone room with his consciousness again.

Then he froze.

He found that Yuei Vu, and the big dragon god beside him… had disappeared.

He couldn't find where Yuei Vu went.

…

Not to mention Dartz, even Yuei Vu himself didn't know where he was now…

He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. He only felt dimly conscious, as if he heard something calling himself. There was also something soft rubbing against his face.

Big, round, soft, and comfortable…

Yuei Vu opened his eyes in a daze. He saw the culprit at the first sight——

——A fluffy and cute Kuriboh.

"Kuri Kuri!" Kuriboh said and flew to his face again.

Yuei Vu nodded. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he thought Kuriboh was right…

…But why can I touch the Kuriboh?

Although he has always had the card of Kuriboh, after keeping it in his pocket for so long, Yuei Vu knew very well that there was no spirit in this card.

…By the way, where is this place?

Yuei Vu sat up and found himself sitting on a piece of grass.

Beside him towered what was perhaps the tallest and strongest tree he had ever seen in his life. Its shadow hung over the ground like a dark cloud.

Surrounded by boundless grasslands and undulating mountains, the silhouettes of distant peaks were like raging waves.

The sky was a weirdly overcast gray, and there was a knife-like crack in the sky above it? It looked like the dark cloud was cut in half by someone.

The last picture in front of him before he fell into a coma quickly returned to Yuei Vu's mind.

He remembered the duel with Dartz had reached an end. He ordered Osiris, whose attack power was more than 10,000, to strike Dartz—or Dartz's substitute—for the final blow.

Originally, that blow should be enough to directly establish the victory, and he should have won the duel.

Could it be that that fellow Dartz played some tricks to trick me in the end?

It doesn't feel like…

"Kuri!"

The Kuriboh suddenly yelled again and flew away from Yuei Vu.

Yuei Vu looked in that direction and finally saw other people besides himself.

It was a little loli with silver hair, with a petite figure. Her height was just over Yuei Vu's waist. She had clear blue eyes, a small nose, and thin lips which were tightly closed.

She was wearing a somewhat retro outfit. A red hat was tilted on her tiny head.

The Kuriboh flew straight over and was hugged by the girl's white and soft little hands. It lay obediently in her arms.

The girl blinked her big blue eyes innocently and looked at Yuei Vu curiously.

Yuei Vu felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He raised his hand: "Uh…how are you?"

The girl didn't speak but still looked at him like this.

Only by the words "Favorability +1, +1,…" on her head that Yuei Vu be able to judge that the other party did not regard him as a dirty old man…

Yuei Vu thought for a while, and asked the question that he cared most about first: "Can you tell me, where is this place?"

The girl tilted her head and thought for a while, but still didn't speak. However, her white and tender hands lightly stroked Kuriboh's head, which gave Yuei Vu the feeling of stroking a cat.

Kuriboh: "Kuri Kuri!"

Yuei Vu boldly guessed that perhaps Kuriboh had already answered his question just now. However, he was neither Yami Yugi nor AIBO, and he has never taken Kuriboh language class, so he has no clue what did the Kuriboh say…

So he changed the question: "Then… can you tell me who you are?"

The silver-haired loli still didn't speak. But Kuriboh spoke again: "Kuri Kuri!"

Yuei Vu: "…"

He now felt like he has lost his way in a foreign country, and when he wanted to find a passerby to ask, he was blocked by the language barrier.

Whenever this happened, you would deeply realize the importance of mastering a foreign language…

Fortunately, there was still someone around Yuei Vu to help.

Dark Magician Girl appeared out of nowhere, and fell aside—it seemed to be a real entity.

She said, "Master! I seem to know!"

She looked like an elementary school student who raised her little hand excitedly when she heard the teacher ask a certain question in class and she happened to know the answer.

"Ah? Do you know where this is?"

"Well… I seem to know!" Dark Magician Girl nodded, "This seems to be the Duel Monsters Spirit World, the world where we Duel Monster Spirits live!"
