The Evil Within

Chapter 24: Unleashed and Unrestrained

Silence. All you could hear was a heartbeat. Fear and confusion. What to do? What should I do? Can I? Should I? Was all Yuya can think of.

Then a powerful voice and cheers. "Duelist get ready for battle!" Now all he could think of is 'it's time to duel.'

A light growing ever so bigger and brighter as he walked out. Yuya's thoughts now organize and focused to one thing.

'Duel to make one smile. Just one can light up the world.'

Yuya walks to his runner already set on the start. The loud cheers and lights surround him. Then he looks at his opponent. A monster of a man with yellow criminal marks on his face, white hair, and inhuman eyes. Yuya thought nothing of it. He looked forward then silence.

The cheers stopped in Yuya's head. All he can hear is

Three

Two

One

Duel acceleration!!!

Then boom

All the sound comes back with the the runners firing on all cylinders.

"Lets Duel!"

"Well then I'll start us off kid. I summon Crawler Dendrite in defense mode."

Crawler Dendrite/LV 2
DEF 600/1300

"Next I set two cards face down that's all for now but don't worry I'll fight you full force once I get my real opponent." He smiled sadistic at Yuya. Confused on what was going one he just ignored it and continued.

"I set the pendulum scale with scale one Performapal U Go Golem and scale eight Performapal Skullcobat Joker. I can summon monsters from level 2 to 7 all at the same time. I pendulum summon Performapal Sleight Hand Magician."

Performapal Sleight Hand Magician/LV 7
ATK 2500/2000

"I activate its ability. Watch as my magician performs his magic. I discard one card to make your Crawler vanish from this duel."

"Thanks now two more take its place! Two other Crawler come out a play!"

"Well then I end my turn."

On the balcony, they group watched Yuya very carefully. "Is he holding back?" Ruri asked. "It looks like it." Yuri answered. Yuto got up and walked to the balcony. "No he is waiting for the right card. The look in his eyes shows that he isn't holding back anymore."

'I have to win to prove to myself that I can't be afraid anymore.'

"I tribute one of my Crawlers to summon Ultimate Insect LV 5."

Ultimate Insect LV 5
ATK 2300/900

"Next I activate swords of reviling light so no attack can get to me for three turns. I done for now." He looked at Yuya with a very disturbing smile.

Back at the Balcony. "Who is this guy anyway?" Yugo asked. Serena grabbed her tablet to see who that behemoths is. "His name is Sergey. Saids here that he is also a hunter. Taking down the most dangerous of animals. He also duels people in the underground circuit. They arrested him for almost killing a guy." "Hunting is very dangerous but still he shouldn't kill a person for it." Rin said shocked. "It wasn't from hunting. It was from a duel. A turbo duel to be exact." Serena said worried for Yuya's safety. Everyone was shocked. Yuya was dueling a guy willing to kill. "How did he get in the tournament?" Yuto asked. "Must have been in the qualifying round in the village. There anyone can join." Yugo explained. Yuzu looked on as Yuya duel this monster. 'Yuya please be careful.'
