Chapter 1032: An Old Acquaintance

Within a few minutes, Yubel and the student in blue uniform had arrived at the rooftop of the academy.

A metaphysical Duel Disk on the side grew out of Yubel's arm and automatically split into five monster slots. The deck lay quietly in the slot, shuffling automatically.

While shuffling, Yubel stared at the mysterious man expressionlessly.

"You, you are definitely not a student of the academy, right?" Yubel asked coldly, "You are a duel monster spirit… not even a spirit from this world, right?"

The student smiled: "As expected of the king's guard, you are really sharp. If you want to know the answer, why don't you look for it in the duel?"

He opened the Duel Disk, and five cards automatically popped out from the top of the deck after shuffling, and he took them out into his hand.

"No problem." Yubel also drew five cards, "Then let me beat you to a pulp before asking questions."

"Duel!" x2

[Yubel, LP 4000]

"I'll go first, draw." Yubel said, "I'll set a monster on the field first!"

Countless golden particles transformed into a card, which appeared on the field in a covered state.

"Set two cards, I end my turn."

"Then it's my turn."

The man drew a card, took a look, and smiled.

"It seems that you don't remember me… Yubel."

Yubel: "?"

"Then let me help you remember." He said coldly, "I'm going to summon this monster from my hand…

… Spellbook Magician of Prophecy!"

[Spellbook Magician of Prophecy, ATK 500]

Yubel: "!?"

This guy's deck is… Spellbook!?

The Spellbook deck was said to be the top deck in the magician clan. Yubel has only seen this deck in the hands of a top magician during her two lives. The magician who controlled this deck was one of the strongest in countless dimensions, and also an old acquaintance of hers.

"Are you…La Mort?"

The student's figure flickered as if the signal was poorly received. Soon his school uniform disappeared, replaced by a large and exaggerated black robe, with a black sickle like the god of death on his back, exuding a cold and dark atmosphere.

Duel Monster spirit, La Mort the Magical Nethermaster, aka "Reaper of Prophecy".

He was once one of the top generals under the Supreme King.

"Look at you, Yubel." La Mort said, "Weak, tired, worn out by peace, and even forgetting your own duty and mission."

"La Mort, why are you here?"

La Mort smiled strangely.

"It took quite some time to find the dimension where you and the king were… and it took even longer to find my way here." He said, "Thanks to the problem with the dimensional barrier of this dimension itself, I had the opportunity to find this place."

Yubel quickly thought of the incident at the end of the last school year – The Light of Destruction took away the space artifact "Quantum Cube" and opened a wormhole above the Duel Academy Island to invade this dimension. It was said that the cube has not returned to a stable state since the incident.

Is it because of that influence…

"I saw that duel." La Mort said, "Our great king faced the representative of the evil light, and he won a beautiful victory.

He is ready, and the day of the king's return will soon be."

"That is not up to you to decide," Yubel said.

"Should it be up to you to decide?" La Mort shook his head. "You have changed, Yubel. I don't know if you have noticed it yourself, but you have forgotten your original mission.

I have no hope that you can complete the duty, so I came here in person. I hope you will at least not hinder me."

Yubel said word by word: "Unless you step over my body."

"……I think so." La Mort shrugged, "Then there is nothing to say. I have never liked you, Yubel.

Then let me destroy you here and welcome the great king to come again."

The duel continued.

"Spellbook Magician of Prophecy's effect – If this card is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up: Add 1 ‘Spellbook' Spell from my Deck to my hand."

La Mort drew another card from the deck.

"I add the Spell Card ‘Spellbook of Secrets' to my hand." La Mort waved his hand, "Then activate the Spell Card ‘Spellbook of Secrets'.

Add 1 ‘Spellbook' card other than ‘Spellbook of Secrets' from my deck to my hand."

A thick, transparent spellbook appeared in the air, and amazing magic power burst out from it!

"That won't work!" Yubel waved her hand, "Counter Trap ‘Magic Jammer'! Discard a card; negate the activation of a Spell Card and destroy it!"

The surging magic power was instantly restrained, and soon expanded and exploded from the inside out. The huge spellbook exploded in mid-air.

"Then the card I discarded is ‘Card of Compensation'." Yubel said, "When this card is sent from my hand to the Graveyard, I can draw 2 cards."

"Well… let's just say you did think of a counterattack against my means."

La Mort didn't look surprised at all, and only drew another card.

"Then next is this card, the Spell Card ‘Spellbook of the Master'." La Mort said, "If I control a Spellcaster-Type monster: I can reveal 1 other ‘Spellbook' card in my hand."

He showed another card in his hand.

"I show the ‘Spellbook of Power' in my hand," La Mort said, "and then target 1 ‘Spellbook' Normal Spell Card in my Graveyard, except ‘Spellbook of the Master'; this card's effect becomes that target's effect.

So based on this effect, I use the ‘Spellbook of the Master' to copy the effect of the ‘Spellbook of Secrets' and get the same effect –

– add 1 ‘Spellbook' card other than ‘Spellbook of Secrets' from the deck to the hand."

La Mort drew another card from the deck.

"I add the Quick-Play Spell ‘Spellbook of Fate' to my hand."

Yubel frowned slightly.

In the past, when they were in the same camp, Yubel rarely watched La Mort fight with others directly. Therefore, although she had heard of the Spellbook system, she was not familiar with its tactical thinking.

She only knew that the opponent was extremely powerful and there were few opponents who could match him in the twelve dimensions.

Perhaps, only a transcendent existence like the Supreme King could make such a spirit willing to submit.

Now it seems that the operating ability of this deck system was indeed extraordinary. This was only the first turn, and La Mort has used the effect of precise retrieval from the deck four times in a row. This retrieval ability could be called a BUG.

I mustn't be careless.

"Activate the Spell Card I just revealed, ‘Spellbook of Power', and for this turn only, increase the attack power of a Spellcaster-Type monster on my field by 1000 points.

I increase the attack power of ‘Spellbook Magician of Prophecy' by 1000 points."

[Spellbook Magician of Prophecy, ATK 500 ? ATK 1500]

"Battle Phase." La Mort said, "Use ‘Spellbook Magician of Prophecy' to attack the set monster!"

Spellbook Magician of Prophecy's magic power rapidly expanded under the amplification of the spellbook, and a magic shock overturned the covered card without any explanation.

"The monster I Set is ‘Skelengel'." Yubel said, "When it's flipped, I draw a card from the deck."

La Mort watched her draw the card without caring: "Then at this moment, the subsequent effect of ‘Spellbook of Power' is activated. When the monster boosted by this effect destroys an opponent's monster in battle this turn, add 1 ‘Spellbook' Spell Card from the deck to my hand.

The card I want to add to my hand is… the Field Spell ‘The Grand Spellbook Tower'!"

Yubel gritted her teeth.

Here it comes again, another deck search.

This was the fifth time this round.

La Mort raised the card in his hand.

"Activate the Field Spell ‘The Grand Spellbook Tower'!"
