Chương 600: Chapter 600: I Want to Return to the Academy
Yubel.
Ted was basically dazed until the very end.
He'd just sent off the toxic Sword Woman, and now Yubel had shown up.
And this time, it was a Ten-Star monster.
Yubel herself was considered a rare card; Ted had never seen one before, and he never imagined there was such a Ten-Star monster in the world—the "damage reflection" effect, had 0 attack and 0 defense, and a layer of destruction resistance.
Every duelist who crashed and died against her would feel a "welcome home" hospitality.
If that wasn't enough, at the moment of defeat, she even performed a "grave-digging" move, taking the core of his deck, "Medicine Eater," and gave Yubel a trap countering ability.
Even Ted's last trump card, the invincible attack trap "Sakuretsu Armor," was blocked. Ted was speechless—he could only admit that this guy was just too stable.
Hilarious—is this the legendary "King of Duels"?
Terrifying, truly terrifying.
Ted Banias had always been confident in his own strength, both in the past and now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of challenging Yugi Muto back in the day.
But now, although he hadn't faced Yugi Muto directly, at least he'd finally gotten to face the next Duel King after all these years—a wish fulfilled.
Yet, he felt in his heart that he would have been better off not dueling at all.
If this duel taught him anything, it was the gap between people—sometimes it was like the difference between a human and a dog. Compared to the person before him, Ted, who was once a well-known card professor, now felt like a clown. 1
Ted Banias fell to his knees in the classic "Detective Conan suspect" pose, hands on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Ryuya Saito, standing by, was at least loyal enough—seeing his friend so out of it after a duel, he wanted to go help him up.
"Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
But in the next moment, Ted, who had collapsed on the ground, suddenly sprang up, raised his head to the sky, and let out a long, drawn-out scream of "Aaaaah!" A transparent shockwave erupted from him, almost blowing away all the stunned onlookers nearby.
It sounded like a heart-wrenching wail. Ted Banias spread his arms wide, looked skyward, and spat out a cloud of chaotic darkness from his mouth!
A tyrannical energy spiraled into the sky, piercing the roof and shooting into the heavens like a pillar breaking through the firmament.
The darkness rampaged through the room like a violent storm, engulfing everyone.
Strangely enough, such a powerful gale left people barely able to stand, as if they'd be blown away, but the force somehow didn't affect anything else in the room. Tables, chairs, items—nothing moved, not even a scrap of paper, as if the storm didn't exist at all.
Kira was the first to realize: this wasn't a real wind.
It appeared as a storm, but it was something more fundamental—a force that affected the soul. Everyone could sense it only because they had souls, able to feel the threat of being drawn into a vortex. The inanimate objects weren't affected.
It was as if the recent duel had triggered this power, which erupted out, threatening to swallow everyone present.
But Kira quickly realized this wasn't something Ted did intentionally, but a loss of control over a force dormant in his body. Ted himself was likely suffering the most.
Still, it wasn't a big problem.
At this level, Kira was completely in control.
"Silent," he said.
As soon as he spoke, a white-robed mage with silver hair flashed out. The staff twirled nimbly in her hand, leaving a trail of silver light.
