The impact came suddenly, without any warning.
A burst of green light, like a sledgehammer, blasted open the doors of the Nightwalker World stronghold from the outside. The doors groaned as they flew into the hall. The sound was like thunder, echoing over and over in the enclosed space, a buzzing noise that was deafening.
The Orichalcos follower, clad in a black robe, removed his hood, revealing a bald head and the Orichalcos seal shining on his forehead.
He held a Duel Disc in his hand, entering with a fierce demeanor, like a fiend...
...and then he froze in place.
He had thought he had arrived at the legendary and renowned Nightwalker World, said to be home to a top organization of Dark Duelists who produced a Duel King. But what was he seeing now after arrogantly blasting the door in to challenge them?
He saw a bunch of disheveled, oddly-behaved buddies, who for some unknown reason, were entangled in a heated brawl. One of them was stepping on a companion, pulling off his remaining underpants, while another was pulling at his companion's mouth, and that companion was simultaneously tugging at his ear...
This Orichalcos follower, ready to challenge the hall, suddenly froze, forgetting even the harsh words he had prepared.
He even had the urge to go out and check the door sign (if there was one) to confirm if he had ended up at some muscle wrestling club by mistake, and perhaps the card association was actually next door...
However, his audacious entrance naturally attracted everyone's attention.
"Hmm?" President Mukuro raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?"
The follower finally recalled the purpose of his visit. Having forgotten his words for too long, he missed the best moment to speak an impressive opening line, so he had to huff heavily and said, "Me? My name is Gasper, sent by the great God of Orichalcos, loyal to the great Rafael of the Doma Three Musketeers!"
He chuckled evilly, "Today, here, I will utterly flatten your headquarters!"
Everyone instantly tensed up.
"What? A challenger?"
President Tosawa Mukuro frowned. The nearby manager also leaned in, "President, he claims to be from 'Doma'. Isn't that what Youyu warned us about..."
"It should be." President Mukuro, whose eyes were already small, squinted them, making them almost invisible, "I didn't expect this, after searching so hard without any clues, and now they come to us voluntarily."
The players in the stronghold were most excited.
"Whoa, it's Doma! A new storyline!"
"A plot not in the animation, is the story starting from us here?"
Nage laughed heartily, picking up the glasses he had tossed aside during the wrestling and put them back on his nose, adjusting the frames, "Interesting! Let me see how brave he is!"
Saying this, he sneered as he surveyed Gasper with a strange look, pondering something.
Mr. Kuroda shrugged off his shirt, revealing solid muscles, "No, you're new, stay aside for now. He is mine!"
The players surrounded Gasper, chattering and discussing him.
"His Duel Disc is different from ours, it seems valuable!"
"Heard that Doma prints a lot of cool cards! Stripping his deck should be worth a lot, right?"
"Could sell them to Youyu, might increase his favorability!"
"..."
Gasper was a bit dazed now... even feeling a bit nervous.
Wait... wait a minute, don't come any closer!
We're all Duelists, we solve everything with card battles!
So, can you guys... can you guys at least put on clothes first?
It's hurting my eyes...
Kusunoki Manager leaned over to the president, speaking in a low voice, "President, the dark energy on this person... is strong, and different from any traditional Dark Duelist we know. It's as if something extremely terrifying is hiding behind him."
"I know."
Being seasoned in the Inner World, the president and manager were naturally experienced and saw immediately that something was off about the visitor.
President Tosawa Mukuro spoke, paused for a moment, then suddenly stood up and stepped forward.
"I'll be your opponent," he said.
The members exploded into chatter.
"What? But he's just a small fry, President, you don't have to go personally!"
"Leave it to me! I'll wipe him out in one turn!"
"Since the opponent has come knocking, facing the challenge is my responsibility as president!" President Mukuro said coldly, "No more words. If you want to come, then come, I'll be your opponent!"
"Fine." Gasper's forehead glowed green as he sneered and readied his Duel Disc, "But there's not enough room here to display our skills. Let's go outside to find a better place. I'll see the president's strength."
...
Moments later, the two had already moved outdoors... followed by a large group of muscle-bound men.
"President, good luck!" Nage shouted the loudest.
"By the way, the president's wearing clothes, can he beat the opponent?"
"Hmm... good point. Someone should remind the president, maybe?"
Hearing their murmuring, Gasper couldn't help feeling speechless.
MDZZ, what kind of nonsense is taking off clothes to play cards, anyway. And these muscle dudes talk like wearing clothes makes you play bad cards.
What kind of bizarre silly club is this!
He shook his head.
No, no, I have to focus on the duel first, can't be led astray by these silly guys...
What he's burdened with is unlike these silly guys!
"Duel!" x2
[Tosawa Mukuro, LP 4000]
[Gasper, LP 4000]
"I'll take the first move, draw!"
Gasper drew a card, while the pendant on his chest seemed to flicker faintly with a green glow.
"I summon 'Gene-Warped Warwolf', in Attack Position!"
The card of a normal monster materialized in his field, a large furry four-armed werewolf appearing on his field, the scarlet eyes seeming to harbor a thirst for blood, letting out a low growl from deep within its throat.
[Gene-Warped Warwolf, ATK 2000]
The Nightwalker spectators were in an uproar.
"Level four with 2000 attack power!?"
"What kind of monster is this, it's too strong!"
"Haha, this is the power of Doma, no matter how powerful the card, it's easy to obtain!" Galapas laughed, "I'll end my turn by setting a card!"
Inserting the card into his Duel Disc, a set card appeared before him.
"Tch, not bad." President Mukuro smirked slightly.
A level 4 monster with an attack power of 2000... Truly, such powerful cards can help duelists quickly gain the upper hand.
Once with such a powerful monster, you seize the initiative of the duel, the opponent could quickly fall into your pace, suppressed until they lose.
But he, Tosawa Mukuro, wasn't a duelist who falls easily!
"My turn!" President Mukuro raised his voice, "Draw!"
He drew a card, flicked the drawn card over, catching a glimpse with the corner of his eye, his eyes immediately lit up.
Here it comes!
One of the trump cards he got from Youyu!
"I summon 'Chainsaw Insect'!"
Golden light flashed, and from that light emerged a giant insect with a black shell. Its armor was like dark steel, and before it was a pair of serrated double blades, like a pair of unstoppable chainsaws.
[Chainsaw Insect, ATK 2400]
