Arie turned around to see the source of the voice, and then he saw three guys who were sneering at him.
"Why are you crying? Did your big brother leave you? Boohoo!" the guys in the middle teased as he acted like wiping a tear on his face then laughed.
"No, he just went somewhere! He'll be back!" Arie retorted as he turned his back against them,, but the man pulled him back.
"I'm not done talking to you, cheeky bastard!" the man angrily looked at him as the familiar ring of notification sounded on both their ears.
[Duel has been initiated! Would you like to accept?]
As soon as Arie read the notification, he only snubbed and ignored it.
"So the coward even refused to fight! Chicken!" the man mocked and as soon as Arie heard this, his ears perked, and he looked at the man with a challenge.
"Chicken you say? Go on! I'll face you!" Arie angrily faced the three and sent a Duel request at the other two. "Why? Too scared to face me 3 versus 1? Who are the chickens then?" he mocked back, but what comes next isn't the most favorable thing.
[Duel accepted! Initiating a battle arena…]
[A 3 Vs 1 Battle Begins! The side that has the greatest number of people can only send a single beast to fight, while the one who has the least can send the number of beasts similar to the number of opponents.]
As soon as the notification and the rules were explained, the three took out cards and beasts of both Ice and Water emerged.
There was a small white bug that looked like a cicada. The other looked like a small blue alien-like looking ball with a single antenna on its head. The last one looks like an ice cube with features of animals.
Arie took out three cards, and they are the Bigu, Hanin, and Phansy beasts.
"Ombom! Attack that kid!" the man on the right side shouted as the blue alien-like beast shot towards Arie.
"Hanin! Stop it!" Arie commanded as the green bird flapped its wings but a strange thing happened.
A sudden spike of pain assaulted the bird as it plummeted to the ground.
"What happened? What's wrong Hanin?" Arie asked as he looked at the bird which was slowly turning into brown.
"Elemental Incompatibility! You don't know anything about this game, do you?" the man on the left told him as he ordered the ice cube beast to attack the young man.
"Bigu! Rock Throw!" Arie ordered as the mole-like beast picked up something on the ground, but what happened next made Arie confused.
Instead of picking up a rock, the beast dug the white ground.
"Hahaha! Pathetic! That's a ground beast! What do you expect? It will just spawn a boulder out of nowhere?" the man at the center mocked as he pointed at the cicada looking beast. "Icecada, kill that bastard!" he ordered as sharp icicles shot towards the young man.
"Phansy! Water Pulse!" the young man ordered as the frog-like beast shot water towards the icicles that disabled it.
"Ombom! Attack him again!" The man on the right ordered once again as the blue beast waved its antennae and blades of water shot towards the young man.
"Bigu! Block that for me!" Arie ordered as the mole beast emerged from the ground once again as its steel sharp claws grew long and turned into steel as it blocked the water blades.
"Fool! You shouldn't have used that beast to block my attack!" The man on the right shouted as the blades hit the mole beast and Bigu gained the [Wet] effect then the [Freezing] effect.
"Go and destroy those bastards!" the man in the center ordered as the Icecada shot another batch of icicle barrage.
"No! This is bullshit!" Arie cursed, but everything was too late. Hanin and Bigu were hit by the attack then they turned into particles of dust and two dim colored cards emerged from his hands.
"Two down! One to go." the man sneered as the three beasts surrounded the frog-like beast.
"Phansy! Camouflage, then secretly attack those beasts!" Arie ordered as the frog did what he ordered.
Phansy disappeared as it appeared behind the Ice Cube beast and shot a Water Pulse towards the beast.
[Secret Skill Activated!]
[Illusionary Waters: A skill that makes the beasts most used attacks change attributes while the [Illusion] is still in effect.]
The Water Pulse that Phansy shot suddenly steamed as the Ice Cube beast floated around the arena feeling the intense pain of the water.
Arie looked at the beast as he saw a ray of hope.
"Phansy! Shot another Water Pulse towards the Ombom!" he ordered, as water shot from behind the beast.
[Secret Skill Failed to Activate!]
"Damn! It will only activate by chance!" the young man cursed once again as soon as he finished reading the interface.
"There you are!" the man at the center smirked as he looked at the Icecada.
"Icecada, use Vibrating Wings!" the man ordered as the beast flapped its wings as fast as it could and an ear retching vibration echoed around the place making Phansy's Camouflage skill waver. "Icecada! Finish that pesky thing!" he ordered.
The beast shot icicles after icicles towards the frog-like beast when at that exact time, Urie came back to the place while holding a large paper bag on his chest.
"Time to finish this!" The man at the center sneered as the Icecada shot a barrage of icicles towards the young man the moment that the frog turned into particles.
The icicles stabbed the young man countless times before his avatar disintegrated into dust.
"Hahahahaha! That serves you right! Cheeky bastard!" The man at the center laughed and was about to leave when a voice suddenly rang behind them and said, "Stop right there! You killed my brother just like that? I'll make sure that you'll suffer before you all die!"
Urie exclaimed as the three men turned around and looked at him.
"So you want to follow your brother to the Resurrection Temple? I'll gladly send you there!" The man at the center sneered,, but before he could issue a challenge, the former already did it.
