Chapter 881: The Elf Hunter
Chapter 881: The Elf Hunter
Zarug panted heavily, his face bruised and swollen. Mina and Clive, standing beside him, were also injured. As for Goro and Zeek, they were now suspended upside down, trapped within transparent energy capsules.
The man stood before them, a Duel Disk on his arm and an energy whip in hand, a playful smile on his face.
"Is this all you've got?" The man sneered, "I say, why don't you just give up and surrender to me?"
"Screw you!" Zarug exploded in anger.
"I haven't even warmed up yet, cough, cough, cough..."
He tried to move forward but took only a few steps before his injuries seemed to flare up, forcing him to kneel and clutch his chest.
Zarug was astonished and couldn't help but look up at the man.
The situation was indeed bizarre.
The capture capsule, as well as the strange weapons including the energy whip in the man's hand, should have been human technology, but they could somehow harm the elves.
Even the ability to dispel physical bodies and become ethereal was ineffective. These weapons seemed to possess the ability to ignore ethereal forms, rendering even ghost-like elves vulnerable.
This included the injuries Zarug was currently feeling. In the real world, elves often appeared invincible because their true forms were cards.
It was similar to their performance in duels. Monsters summoned to the field, whether cut in half or shattered to pieces, could be revived with a single Resurrection card and continue to bounce back. Even in dark duels, it was usually impossible to harm the elves themselves.
The same was true for materialized monsters outside of duels. Even if a materialized monster was killed or destroyed, it wouldn't mean the card was permanently damaged. As long as the card remained, the duelist could place it on the Duel Disk again, and the elf would bounce back to life.
But now, Zarug clearly felt as if he were genuinely injured. It wasn't a temporary injury to the materialized body but a more fundamental harm.
He didn't even know he could be hurt in this world.
"Boss!"
Mina suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Zarug turned, "What?"
Then he immediately realized, oh, she wasn't calling him.
She was calling their bigger boss.
You Xuan emerged from the woods and approached the group. The thieves immediately began to complain.
Mina: "Boss, you have to stand up for us!"
Zeek, trapped in the capsule, struggled to reach out, "Boss! Save us!"
You Xuan frowned, glancing at the two elves sealed in capsules, then at the man across from them.
The man studied him for a moment, also slightly frowning, "Hmm, I didn't expect this. Just by capturing a few elves, their boss turns out to be a 'King'?"
"I'll take a guess," You Xuan stared at the man for a moment, "An Elf Hunter?"
"As expected of a King, you have good judgment."
The man laughed.
"Not bad. I am indeed the Elf Hunter, Keith."
His name coincidentally matched that of a certain rogue in DM.
You Xuan remembered. This guy was also from the GX anime, appearing around this time. His purpose for coming to the Duel Academy island was John Anderson, or more precisely, John's Jewel Beast.
True to his name, the Elf Hunter was a specialist in hunting elves. However, unlike Mr. Crowler in DM who relied on dark duelists or card gambling methods to hunt for rare cards, Elf Hunters were a type despised by both the orthodox Dueling world and dark duelists.
Because for them, dueling is the ultimate means rather than the norm. In most cases, they don't like to use dueling as a hunting method.
Instead, they rely on direct theft.
As demonstrated earlier, they possess technological means to harm and capture spirits. Therefore, these individuals often favor sudden ambushes, utilizing technology to capture spirits when the owner is not paying attention, and then flee with the captured spirit. If possible, they prefer not to engage in direct conflict with the spirit's owner.
This is also why this group even looks down upon dark duelists.
"Since we have guests, we should treat them well."
You Xuan smiled and presented his duel disk.
Now that he had caught the hunter, it wouldn't be easy for him to escape. Of course, this hunter didn't seem to have any intention of fleeing either.
"Alright, that's exactly what I had in mind," Hunter Keith chuckled, "Although encountering the King here is unexpected, I did plan to pay a visit on this trip anyway."
"Oh?"
"One of my goals for coming to this island is the legendary 'Jewel' spirit, which is said to be worth a fortune. As for the other goal..."
Hunter Keith narrowed his eyes.
"The industry talks about how the current King possesses a God-rank spirit. And I, being one of the most outstanding hunters, have long wanted to play with a heavyweight spirit."
"Is that so." You Xuan activated his duel disk, "Alright, let's do this.
If I lose, all my spirits will belong to you, and you can choose freely.
No mistakes, no omissions, comprehensive content for Chapter 6-9, please view and read!
But as a substitute..."
Before he could finish, Keith hummed with a smile.
"Of course, all the spirits I've captured in my hunter career will also be at your disposal. I'll wash my hands of hunting and never touch a card or duel again. Is that okay?"
"Agreed."
A fair bet.
"Duel!" x2
You Xuan, LP 4000
Keith, LP 4000
"I'll start by attacking and drawing a card!"
Keith drew a card and examined the cards in his hand.
"I summon 'Bait Phantom' in defense position." (Original Card)
An animated card without a physical version, in this world, it's privately printed by the hunter organization. Many of the cards used by spirit hunters are hunter-specific, designed for their profession and hunting habits.
A shadow is summoned, and from that shadow, a small face with a somewhat creepy smile emerges, with pitch-black eyes and a body made of transparent mist.
Bait Phantom, DEF 0
"Then I'll set a card and end my turn."
As soon as Mina saw the phantom, she felt something was off: "His card deck also feels strange, boss, be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." You Xuan smiled, "It's my turn, I'll draw a card."
After examining his hand, he waved and set one of the cards.
"I'll cover a card on the field.
Then, from my hand, I activate the spell card 'Hand Destruction'."
You Xuan sent all his remaining hand cards to the graveyard in one go.
"Both players send their entire hand to the graveyard and then draw the same number of cards from their decks."
Keith remained silent and followed suit, sending his hand to the graveyard and then drawing new cards.
After the replacement, You Xuan immediately activated the card he had set earlier.
"I activate the spell card 'Double Gate'."
By removing the card with the same name from the graveyard, he can draw two cards from his deck.
Removing another 'Double Gate' from the graveyard and drawing two cards. (Original Card)
