I Copy Under One Punch - Chapter 345

  Chapter 345 Quarterfinals

   In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the second day of the competition.

  Aomori collected all six map fragments, and followed the instructions above to the Tongshiye Arena, sat on one of the seats, and looked leisurely at Malik and his servant Lixid who were whispering on the other side.

   After a while, Haima and Trojan came here by helicopter.

  They didn’t see Aomori and Malik hiding in the dark, standing in the center of the arena, posing coolly, waiting for the arrival of other contestants.

  The sky gradually dimmed, and the searchlights of the arena lit up one after another, illuminating the center of the venue like daylight.

  Haima Nai looked around like an eagle, glanced over Aomori, and looked at the entrance. Yu Yu, Jonai, and a large group of relatives and friends walked over in a mighty manner.

  Yuyu and Jouchi successfully qualified for promotion.

   Aomori chuckled, flashed to the entrance, and walked over swaggeringly.

   “Ah, it’s you!” When Jouchi saw Aomori, he pointed at him and shouted loudly.

   “It’s him, I didn’t make it to the top eight because I lost to him!” A blond hot girl standing next to him also pointed her finger at Aomori.

  She is the confidante Peacock Mai in the city. In order to prevent her from being hurt in this inhuman duel, Aomori eliminated her first in a very gentlemanly manner.

   “Eh?” After finishing speaking, Jouchi and Peacock Mai looked at each other with confused faces.

   “Oh, do you know each other? It’s really destined.” Aomori said with a smile.

   “Don’t change the subject for me.” Jouchi said loudly: “Now I have two reasons why I have to win. Ah Wu, I will take back [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon], and I will avenge you by the way!”

   “Hmph, who wants your help, idiot.”

   Aomori stepped back and quietly became a melon-eating audience.

  Afterwards, Malik pretending to be Nam, Lishid pretending to be Malik, and An Kaliang pretending to be Kamura came to the scene one after another, showing a wave of acting contests, which made the real actor Aomori shake his head frequently.

   As far as their abilities are concerned, it is estimated that each of them has been included in the suspicion list by the inside and outside games.

  Afterwards, with the arrival of the last eight contestants—Isis, the Egyptian girl covered in a silk scarf, the quarterfinals knockout round officially started.

   The venue for the eight-to-four knockout round was set on a huge floating airship.

  Everyone boarded the airship one after another, entered their respective rooms, and made final preparations before the competition.

   Aomori, who had no need to prepare, stood alone on the top deck of the airship, overlooking the beautiful scenery below.

   After a while, a beautiful woman came to the door.

   “You shouldn’t be standing here. I don’t see you in the future.” Isis stared at Aomori without blinking her beautiful eyes.

  Her real identity is Malik’s older sister, and she holds the Millennium Jewelry, one of the seven Millennium Artifacts, in her hand, which can predict the future, but Aomori who suddenly appeared is not in the future she saw.

   This is something that has never been done before.

   “Oh, your thousand-year-old jewelry is just a dead thing created by people. How to see the real future is just a relatively likely result.” Aomori said, turning his head to look at her.

   “You know Millennium Jewelry? It really is not an ordinary person.” Isis said in a deep voice, “Who are you? What is your purpose?”

   “I just want to play poker well. However, if I meet your brother, I don’t mind helping you discipline him.” Aomori chuckled, waved his hands, and turned to leave.

   “Let’s go, the lottery will start next, and the result this time should be different.”

  ‘Why, he seems to know everything? Where the **** is he? ’ With such doubts, Isis pursed his lips and followed Aomori to leave the deck.

  The result of the lottery was soon revealed to everyone.

  As Aomori said, the result has changed a lot.

  Among them, the first game is against Lishid, the second Kaiba is against Kaura, the third is Isis against Malik, and the rest is Aomori and Jounouchi.

   The first round of the quarterfinals was undoubtedly the final victory of the game. Lishid was forced to use a forged magic card and was sanctioned by Pterodactyl.

   In the second round, even though Kaoru had a strong deck and played a dark game, he still couldn’t resist Kaiba’s love for the blue-eyed white dragon, and lost to the ultimate blue-eyed white dragon.

  The true identities of him and Malik were also known to everyone.

   In the third battle, a duel between Isis and Malik, Isis’s modern card group lost to the invincible pterodactyl. Because it was a dark game, Isis’s mind was severely injured. Fortunately, Aomori made a secret move to dispel a lot of darkness, and with the defense of the thousand-year-old jewelry, he did not pass out.

  In this duel, Malik completely perverted and became the real King of Yanyi, and his actions were also despised by everyone.

   Next is the fourth battle.

   “Be careful in the city, he is not easy.” The game reminded.

   “Don’t worry, I won’t lose, and I will have a duel with you that is dignified and without regrets!” Jouchi said confidently.

  For this duel, he went to Feather Moth and Peacock Dance to inquire about the corresponding details. He already knew Aomori’s deck by heart, so he was full of confidence.

   Aomori smiled at this and said nothing.

At the beginning of the duel, the shouts of relatives and friends brought great strength to the city. He smiled at Aomori and shouted: “I will attack first, and the attack means summoning [Black Panther Warrior] (ATK: 2000/DEF: 1600 ), cover a card, and the round ends.”

   Against Aomori’s deck, Jouchi’s plan is to attack slowly and consume the trap cards in his deck bit by bit. For this reason, he also brought a few cards that restore health.

“It’s my turn, draw a card!” Aomori looked at the city, showing a strange smile: “Activate the magic card [Angel’s Alms], draw three cards and discard two cards. Then activate [Pot of Greed], draw Two. Activate [Condor Feather Sweep] to clear all your trap cards and magic cards.”

   “Cut! This is Ah Wu’s card.” Seeing that the [Silent Lamb] he had buried was destroyed, Jouchi cursed secretly.

   “The next step is the key point, you look after the castle! I summon [Legendary Black Stone] (ATK:0/DEF:0)!”

   “What? A monster with only 0 attack and defense?” Jouchi had a bad feeling in his heart.

   “Activate its effect, release this card, and Special Summon 1 [True Red-Eyes] monster below Level 7 from the Deck.”

   “Could it be” the complexion in the city changed drastically.

   “That’s right, come out, really red-eyed black dragon!”

  As Aomori’s voice fell, a black dragon appeared on the field. Its scarlet eyes stared at the city with deep eyes.

   “Roar!” Its roar made Cheng Nei take two steps back.

  His face was gloomy, and he said bitterly: “My real red-eyed black dragon actually appeared in front of me in this way.”

   “Ahem, I’m sorry, it’s mine now.” Aomori added a knife.

   “It’s too much.” The game and others off the field were filled with righteous indignation.

   “Hmph, you can’t even protect your beloved cards, what kind of duelist should you be?” Haima folded his arms and said coldly, “It really is just a mortal bone.”

   “It’s okay, I will definitely take you back.” Jouchi looked at the red-eyed black dragon affectionately.

“Hehe, is it?” Aomori continued his operation: “My turn is not over yet. I want to release [True Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and special summon [True Red-Eyes Dark Dragon] from my hand (ATK: 2400/DEF: 2000 ). Its special effect is that every dragon monster in your graveyard increases by 300, so its attack power at this time is 3300.”

   “He actually took [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] as a sacrifice” Jouchi secretly gritted his teeth.

“It’s not over yet, I activate [Dead Resurrection]! Re-summon [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] from the graveyard to the field. Then activate [True Red-Eyed Black Star Dragon] in my hand (ATK: 2000/DEF: 2000) effect, send 1 level 5 or higher normal monster from the deck to the Graveyard to activate it, and Special Summon this monster!”

   “What?!” Not only Jouchi, but also Yugi and Kaima were taken aback.

“He actually summoned three monsters with an attack power of over 2000 in one round, and cleaned up the opponent’s backcourt beforehand. The whole process was impeccable. He seems to be a good duelist. I underestimated him before.” Haima said earnestly. The place commented.

  Yuyu is worried about Jouchi: “Oops, how will Jouchi solve this situation?”

  The answer is that it cannot be solved.

  The inside of the city was ashes, watching the three black dragons open their mouths towards him, spouting black flames.

  [The Black Panther Warrior] fell in response, followed by Cheng Nei, completely covered by black flames, and his 4000 health points cleared in the blink of an eye.

   Another perfect OTK.

   “Acceptance.” Aomori waved his hand, leaving credit and fame behind, and turned to leave.

  After the quarter-finals, it was the semi-finals. The venue of the competition was transferred from the airship to Alcatraz under the Seahorse Group.

  There is a side plot here. Aomori thought it was troublesome. Before the airship arrived, he used extraordinary means to solve the surviving soul of the big boss behind the scenes, Kaiba’s adoptive father Gosaburo Kaiba.

  Before this, there was another episode, which was the battle between Kamura and Malik. Aomori did not intervene. In the end, Kamura failed.

   Then, in the early morning of the next day, all the people arrived at the competition site safely and smoothly.

  However, in order to decide the opponent in the semi-finals, they still need to conduct a four-way melee.

   The first two players whose HP reaches zero will be their opponents in the semi-finals, and the remaining two will belong to the other team.

   Malik wants to get a **** card first, and the best choice is Haima. In the final, he will hold two **** cards and make a final decision with the game.

  Haiba wants to fight the game wholeheartedly.

  Because of Jouchi’s reason, the game is targeting Aomori, and intends to defeat him and get back the [True Red-Eyed Black Dragon] in Jouchi.

  Aomori doesn’t matter, but Malik looks too intrusive, so I plan to kill him first.

  Thus, after a game, Malik, who was targeted by the three at the same time, was sent out first, followed by Aomori who was attacked by Kaima.

  So, the combination of the semi-finals has been decided.

   In the first game, Malik played against Aomori; in the second game, the game played against Kaiba.

   “Aomori, it’s okay.” Malik stuck out his long tongue and licked his lips, as if looking forward to it, but in fact he was extremely vigilant: “That guy is mysterious, and even a thousand-year-old tin rod can’t detect his heart.” Also, I’ve seen him achieve OTK with two different decks, so which deck will he use against me? ‘

   This appearance was seen by Aomori, which increased his dislike for Malik.

  ‘It was fun to watch at first, but after watching too much, it feels too disgusting. ‘

   Haima finally got his wish, not to mention how happy he was: ‘Finally I can compete with you, game. I must defeat you and become the strongest duelist! ‘

  The semi-finals did not delay too long, and soon began at the top of the tower.

   “Game, do you think Aomori can win?” Jouchi asked while looking at Aomori and Malik who were facing each other.

  Yugi pondered for a while, and replied: “It’s hard to say. After all, Malik has the God Card, but Aomori is not so easy to deal with. It depends on their performance in the duel.”

   “Malik” Isis recalled what Aomori had said, and couldn’t help showing hopeful expression, “I hope he really has the ability to save Malik.”

   Soon, the referee announced: “The duel begins!”

   “You start first.” Malik gracefully spread out a hand and said.

   “What? Are you afraid that I will finish you off in the second round?” Aomori laughed.

   “Where? I am also a duellist with a God Card, so I plan to let you attack first.” Malik naturally would not admit it, “Once I make a move, I am afraid you will have no chance.”

“Okay then, I’ll go first.” Aomori smiled slightly and said, “I will activate [Pot of Greed], draw two cards, then summon a monster on the inside, and then ambush two cards. Okay Alright, my turn is over.”

  ’Cut, I can’t tell what kind of deck it is, cunning guy, but it doesn’t matter. ’ Malik sneered, the pattern of eyes on his forehead brightened.

  In an instant, a group of black clouds appeared in the sky, quickly covering the entire duel field.

   “Another dark game?” Yuyu looked up at the dark sky and clenched his fists.

  He hated people who hurt others in duels like this.

   “Okay, let’s play another game of darkness, Aomori.” Malik laughed, and actually wanted to test Aomori in this way.

   In his opinion, Aomori is not an ordinary person.

“Heh, is it a dark game?” Aomori’s expression didn’t change a bit, he looked at Malik lightly, and said in a cold voice: “This is also darkness? Stop joking, let me show you what is real darkness. “

   As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a thicker darkness enveloped the surroundings, as if everyone was in a secret room that was darkened by the sun.

  Looking at the looming and strange face of Aomori on the opposite side, Malik’s expression changed drastically: “What kind of darkness is this? It actually destroyed the dark game made by the thousand-year-old tin staff?!”

   “This kind of darkness is strange. Although I am in it, I can’t feel a trace of evil or uneasiness.” The game was puzzled.

   “Well, on the contrary, there is a sense of peace and tranquility.” Isis added, she looked in the direction of Aomori with burning eyes, and her confidence in him increased a lot.

   “Aha.” Jouchi yawned, “I feel like I want to sleep.”

  Last night, as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the red-eyed black dragon, and he couldn’t fall asleep at all.

   “These people are really too much, can’t they play cards for me?” After Fan Gu’s declaration, the city finally couldn’t hold on and fell asleep.
