Chapter 35: Nightcrawler World
OTK!
It should be said that Yugi really deserved to be the Duel King. Dealing with mobs like Mr. T was completely one-sided.
... Of course, it may have something to do with the other party's initiative to die.
After watching the play, Yuei Vu opened the quest panel to check the situation of this quest series again but suddenly froze.
The description in the panel has been updated, and it was marked with "quest canceled".
The follow-up supplementary explanation was that the evil consciousness that Nightshroud invaded into reality has been severely damaged, and now it has returned to a dormant state, waiting for the next opportunity to invade.
Yuei Vu: "…"
Because the power of Yami Yugi was too strong, so the OTK just now… directly beat Nightshroud back to sleep?
…What about his reward?
Yuei Vu suddenly felt a toothache.
Nightshroud, as a final BOSS, was a little too unsatisfactory. Even if it was still in a sleeping state, this was still a little too weak.
Yuei Vu seemed to have finally guessed why he had never heard of the Nightshroud quest in the World Link Online v1.0 in his previous life.
It's probably because when Nightshroud just woke up and tried to explore the way, he was unlucky enough to run into the max-level bigshot Yugi Muto who was pretending to be an average guy. There was no chance at all…
The player's quest was stolen by the NPC, don't you believe it! (Someone completely forgets the fact that this quest was originally stolen from the player's hands)
Yuei Vu had hoped that he would be able to swipe this little boss a few more times and get more EXP and some crystals. It seemed that he could only do so once.
…but it doesn't matter.
It's just a little interlude, and this quest series was originally out of his plan. Harvesting a Duel Monster spirit was already a big profit, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.
There was still about half a month before the Open Beta.
He still had a lot to do in half a month.
...
An hour later, Yuei Vu came to the other end of the city, in an empty alley that did not have signs of life and almost seemed a little weird.
It seemed that there was always something like this in every city. Dark, lonely, poorly lit or with no light source at all, every breeze blowing from the alley felt like someone was breathing softly behind your neck.
These were often forgotten corners by people in the city. Serious people would not come to this kind of place all year round, and most non-serious people knew that the more such a place is, the more they needed to stay away.
Yuei Vu walked through the dark alley, which looked like a dead end. But near the end, there was a rusted iron door on the wall.
The only lighting was very bad, and the iron gate was hidden in the shadows that the light couldn't reach. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't even notice it.
He stepped forward, knocked lightly on the iron door three times with his knuckles, then stepped back and stood still.
After a while, the door panel slid open in front of him with a creak.
A burly man appeared behind the door. He was wearing a black leather jacket, with a silver non-mainstream pendant hanging around his neck, black tattoos painted on his sturdy muscles, and the words "I'm not easy to mess with" seemed to be written on his fleshy face.
This guy was more than half a head taller than Yuei Vu. He looked down at Yuei Vu and narrowed his eyes a little displeased.
"This is not the place for a little white face like you to come." He said grimly, "Go away before I want to beat you."
Yuei Vu raised the Duel Disk on his left arm.
The muscled man raised his eyebrows: "A duelist? I don't know where you heard about this place, but we are not an ordinary dueling gym, so if you know what is good for yourself, get out of here!"
At the same time as he spoke, the eyes staring at Yuei Vu also changed suddenly.
It was something close to killing intent. Pure darkness burst out from the depths of his pupils, forming an aura that was invisible to the naked eye, and pressed towards Yuei Vu like a mountain.
Yes, that's right, this man was also a Shadow Duelist.
He was trying to use the dark energy he has mastered to scare away the ignorant boy in front of him.
But he never expected that Yuei Vu would stand in front of him so calmly and not be frightened at all. He raised his head and looked straight at the muscled man's eyes, and his pupils seemed to light up with a strange red glow in that brief moment.
A moment ago, the muscled man only felt a turbulent aura released from the body of the young man in front of him. The image of the other party suddenly rose up like a mountain in his eyes, and the dark energy he released was pushed back. There was a feeling of tension as if the heart was being grabbed.
The muscled man broke out in a cold sweat and realized one thing at the same time.
The young man in front of me… is a hidden master!
He tried to suppress the other party with his little three-legged cat's dark energy, and it was ridiculous to think about it now.
Yuei Vu stood on the spot with his arms crossed, the red glow in his eyes gradually dissipating.
The muscled man gasped as if he had just finished a long-distance run. He couldn't help wiping his sweat and smiled shyly.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't see it…"
Yuei Vu smiled nonchalantly: "Can I go in now?"
"Of course." The muscled man said, stepping aside, "I'll take you to see Mr. Xiao."
Yuei Vu nodded and walked in. The muscled man let him advance and then closed the dilapidated iron door with a creak.
Behind the door was a long series of stairs, which looked a few years old, and each step made a sound that sounded like metal rubbing.
""
There was no light in the narrow passage, but not too far ahead, there were two neatly hanging torches lined up on the walls on both sides. The orange-yellow fire light danced briskly, and the shadows cast by the two on the wall changed like jagged ghosts.
The muscled man walked to the front to lead the way, and Yuei Vu followed closely behind.
The phantom of Dark Magician Girl floated out from the deck in Yuei Vu's hand again, reminding: "Master, this place seems a bit weird. There are a lot of dark energies gathered in this place. Although it is not powerful, the people here may be not normal."
"Well, I know." Yuei Vu smiled slightly, "Thank you just now."
Of course, he himself had no supernatural powers.
Just now, Yuei Vu relied upon Dark Magician Girl's power to counterattack the dark energy of this muscled man and made the other party mistakenly think that he was a high-level Shadow Duelist.
If a duelist possessed a spirit, they could also exert the power similar to the Shadow Duelist.
This was also the reason why Yuei Vu dared to come to this place.
After passing through the long corridor, they finally came to the end. The muscled man stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and pushed open the last door in front of him, and the almost dazzling light suddenly spilled over.
A luxurious hall with a completely different style of painting and people coming and going was suddenly revealed in front of the two of them.
The muscled man turned his head and smiled at Yuei Vu: "Welcome to the Nightcrawler World."
