Chapter 1883 The Chaos Wizards Attack
"Ten Thousand Eyes"

The stinging sensation from the freezing air still lingered on my fingertips, but the forest before me was lush and green, showing no trace of the world that had once led to the frozen wasteland.

Judai was still unable to accept the reality that Manjoume had perished together with Amon before his eyes. He stared blankly ahead with his hand raised, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

In contrast, O'Brien quickly accepted reality—after all, compared to Judai, who had known Manjoume since childhood, he wasn't very familiar with Manjoume, having only known him for a few days. Also, having been taken to the battlefield by his father since childhood, he had witnessed the deaths of too many mercenaries he knew.

“Manjoume Jun is a very good man.” After expressing his approval of Manjoume, O’Brien patted Judai on the shoulder and said, “We can’t do anything about what happened to the two of them. I think we should go back, Judai.”

"Hmm." With yet another comrade dying before his eyes, Jaden's already bad mood became even more gloomy, and his aura became quite heavy.

He couldn't help but wonder if the outcome would have been different if he had ignored Manjoume when he was being stopped and fought Amon himself.

Once again, I was powerless, just as Caesar and Edward were covering the retreat, just as John was dying.
I can't do anything myself.
Without power, you can't do anything.
He couldn't understand why Amon could betray them so readily, turning against his comrades to gain the power to become king, but Amon's words echoed in Jaden's mind—

"boom!"

Suddenly, a huge roar came from afar, startling Jaden. O'Brien looked warily in the direction of the sound and his pupils contracted: "Oh no, that's the way we came?!"

"The camp has been attacked!?"

O'Brien reacted quickly. Almost as soon as he realized that the direction from which the huge roar came was the direction of the temporary camp where everyone else except the two of them was stationed, he immediately started running. But to his surprise, Jaden was faster than him. Not only did he move a step earlier, but he also quickly widened the distance between them.
'This guy's physical abilities are incredible!'

Jaden ran frantically, having just witnessed Manjoume and Amon perish together, he didn't want to lose his companions again and desperately wanted to return to them. O'Brien could tell that the direction they came from, but Jaden could sense something more—the emotions in the hearts of the others.

Pain, sorrow, doubt, hatred—a heavy weight of emotions piled up at the camp. He could already use his rich imagination to "see" the chaotic scene when everyone in the camp, resting and recuperating at midnight, was suddenly attacked by other monsters.

He wished he had the ability to teleport, to instantly travel such a long distance to return to the others and protect them as best he could, but he didn't have that ability.

"【E·hero Winged Man】, take me with you!" While running wildly, Jaden summoned 【E·hero Winged Man】, using the power of the spirit to speed up, hoping to return to the camp as soon as possible.

"Jim, Asuka, Fubuki, Sho, Kenzan, everyone! Please wait for me to come back!"

The camera then shifts back to a location about a mountain away from the forest where Judai and O'Brien were, where Fubuki and the others' camp is currently surrounded by fire.

"Asuka!" Fubuki helped her younger sister up, relieved to see she was unharmed. She then looked around at the others, "Everyone... are you alright?"

"Thanks to Fubuki-bro, you reacted quickly, we're alright." Jim pulled Kenzan and Sho, who had been fast asleep but were startled awake by the sudden attack, out of the tent.

Just now, Fubuki suddenly summoned his [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] to block a fireball that came from nowhere. The loud noise was caused by the collision between the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and the enemy's attack.

Although the attack was blocked and didn't directly hit the center of the camp and wipe out everyone in one fell swoop, the fireball still exploded and countless sparks fell around the camp, setting off numerous walls of fire and even setting the tents of several people on fire.

At this moment, there was no time to put out the fire or salvage the tents; everyone immediately went on alert and searched for the enemy, whose whereabouts were unknown.

Marufuji Sho, with his sharp eyes, suddenly pointed in a direction and said, "That thing... could it be the enemy that attacked us just now?!"

"Clap, clap—" What Marufuji Sho was pointing at was a distorted black phantom. A clapping sound came from it, and then a humanoid monster dressed in black emerged from it.

"That's quite a reaction. You managed to block my feint in time. It's clear you have some very skilled warriors." The warlock said with a wicked smile, spreading his arms. "As a reward for passing this most basic test, let me introduce myself. My name is [Chaos Wizard], and [Bron, the Mad King of the Dark Realm], whom you recently defeated, is my subordinate."

"【Chaos Wizard】. Hmm!?" Jian Shan suddenly remembered something and pointed at the 【Chaos Wizard】 in the air in surprise, "【Gold】 and 【Silva】 mentioned this guy. He is one of the 'Five Elders' of the 'Overlord Army'!"

“It’s the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’!” The pale-skinned sorcerer, the Chaos Wizard, frowned and corrected Jian Shan’s mistake, “That guy Demis split himself into two, does that mean he has two spots?”

In their pursuit of power, the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the "Overlord Army" each have their own methods. One of the "Four Heavenly Kings," [King of the End - Demis], chose to split himself into two individuals—[Skilled White Mage] and [Skilled Black Magician]—allowing each individual to grow independently. Once they are nearly equal, they can merge again to gain twice the growth that they could have achieved individually.

It seems that [King of the End - Demis] splitting himself up created a weakness, allowing others to weaken his two clones by half. However, this is not the case at all. Destroying either one or both clones at the same time would only cause [King of the End - Demis] to prematurely end the split and reassemble.

After all, the "Overlord Army" is not a united and friendly organization. If they had the means to eliminate dissidents, the Chaos Wizards would have used them long ago.

However, watching [King of the End - Demis] grow stronger by using a "double experience cheat" made it impossible for [Chaos Wizard] and the others to do nothing. On the contrary, spurred by the former, [Guardian - Bao] became increasingly aggressive in conquering cities and territories, [Skeleton Priest] accelerated his research into the legendary power belonging to the "Overlord," and [Chaos Wizard] personally went to the battlefield to assist his plans.

"Although the loss of [Bron] and the disappearance of [Sylva] and [Gold] have weakened my control over the [Dark Realm] forces, it doesn't matter. If I can capture a few of your excellent warriors, perhaps I can make up for my losses."

Under the gaze of the [Chaos Wizard], Fubuki, the oldest person present, stepped forward: "This is really troublesome. Although I am a very charming and admired idol, your gaze is too direct. Even I would refuse to provide fan services for you."

"Besides, even if you are that 'Four Heavenly Kings,' you're just one person. We have five against one, so the advantage is on our side." Jian Shan, annoyed at being disturbed from his sleep, stepped forward and provoked, "After all, you are that 'Four Heavenly Kings,' so don't blame us for ganging up on you!"

"Outnumbering the weak? Of course, I'm not a fool like [Dark Knight - Zul] with a head full of chivalry." [Chaos Wizard] wasn't angry at these words; he simply raised his hand, and then a large number of monsters, nearly twenty in total, surged out from the [Chaos Illusion] he had just passed through!
These monsters blocked the gaps in the spreading fire wall, surrounding the camp where everyone was located. There were five of them in each of the four directions, which put everyone except Fubuki in a "five against one" situation.

"How about now? After all, you are excellent warriors, so don't blame me for ganging up on you." As if responding to Jian Shan's earlier provocation, the [Chaos Wizard] stood in the air and sneered, saying almost exactly the same words as Jian Shan had just said. This made Xiang, Jim, and the others glance at Jian Shan, as if asking him with their eyes, "Why did you say that just now?"

Asuka, however, noticed that one of the enemies in front of her looked rather familiar.

“I saw this man’s portrait among the villagers that Mr. Fried was with before,” Asuka said, pointing to a warrior in front of her. “Although he looks very different now, he seems to be… Warrior Dai Grefa? He should be a member of Mr. Fried’s ‘Iron Knights’ like Warrior Raz!”

“The monsters on my side look familiar too: [Sea Dragon Tidarus] and [Wonder Valkyrie],” Jim said, frowning.

"【The Creator God】." "【The Phoenix God of Nephthys】." Kenzan and Sho exchanged a glance, realizing that the monsters in front of them were all "familiar" monsters. "However, they seem quite different from the ones we remember?"

"Of course, isn't it? Because they are all powerful 'warriors' that I carefully selected and captured, and then I used my research to endow them with new powers." The Chaos Wizard explained with great interest, as if he were a researcher being asked about his proud work. "The 'chaos magic' I researched modified their own power attributes. Whether it is fire, water, wind, or earth, they will all be replaced by 'chaos magic power' produced by the intertwining of 'light' and 'darkness'."

"【Chaos Warrior - Grefa】, 【Chaos Tidarus】, 【Chaos Valkyrie】, 【Chaos Creator】, 【Chaos Nephthys】, these are their true names now."

"This chaotic power that unifies light and darkness may be able to open up a ladder to a higher level. However, in order to bear this power, my lovely creations have also undergone some minor changes, such as drastic changes in appearance, complete loss of memory, or becoming mindless puppets. However, as an exchange for power, such a price is acceptable."

As he spoke, the Chaos Wizard extended his hand to everyone in a friendly manner, "To be honest, I don't really want to obtain some incomplete experimental subjects, so how about we just give up resisting? I'm not some crazy researcher who would harm experimental subjects at the drop of a hat. I will definitely be careful to carry out the 'chaosification' transformation on you, and I guarantee that you will perfectly obtain the power of 'chaos magic' in your current state."

"This is a rare treat I'm offering, so don't miss out!"

Asuka frowned: "A living being, transformed into this state, who would want to accept your power!"

"And with so many monsters, why aren't there any dinosaurs!" Jian Shan complained. "Even Senior Xiang has a [Chaos Sphere] from the Machine race. You keep saying you handpicked these monsters, are you looking down on dinosaurs? What a vulgar fellow!"

"What do you mean by 'joining my side'? Jianshan, you better explain yourself! Did the Machine Race eat your rice?"

Looking at the chaotic scene below, the Chaos Wizard's smile froze. He slowly withdrew his hand, his smile completely vanishing, and coldly ordered, "So that's how it is. It's rare for me to show kindness, and I'm completely disregarded. In other words, the negotiations have broken down."

"Yes, kill them all."

The instant the Chaos Wizard gave the order, all the Chaos monsters surrounding the group launched their attacks with almost no time difference. All the monsters were completely synchronized, as if they were puppets controlled by a single string.

Moreover, these monsters don't just swarm in haphazardly; they coordinate their attacks. After Chaos Tidarus spews out a murky current, Chaos Valkyrie rides the current to launch an attack, while Chaos Warrior Grefa, behind him, uses the former's cover to cast spells.

However, everyone was prepared and each summoned their own powerful monsters!

"【Guardian of Solemnity - Guardian of Law】!"

"【Jurassic Giant Beast】!"

"【Super Transportation Robot - Invisible Combination】!"

"【Paleogene Fossil Dragon - Skull Slayer Dragon】!"

The four attacks from four directions were blocked by the four individuals, and the monsters entered into battle. It seemed that the group had successfully defended themselves, but the problem was that they were not fighting one-on-one, but one-on-five!

The Paleozoic fossil dragon - Skull Demon Slayer Dragon slapped the Chaos Valkyrie with its tail and bit the Chaos Tidarus, successfully suppressing two monsters. However, the attacks from three more monsters exceeded its defensive limits. Under the whip of the Chaos Hunter, its bones continued to crack, and it seemed it couldn't hold on for long.

[Super Transport Robot - Invisible Fusion] immediately grabbed [Chaos Nephthys] as a shield, but the attacks from the other four monsters were endless and they didn't care about their companion's safety at all. They were bombarding the monsters with the goal of taking down [Chaos Nephthys] and [Super Transport Robot - Invisible Fusion] together.
Asuka and Kenzan fared slightly better, with their respective monsters barely managing to withstand the attacks, but given that it was one against five, they obviously couldn't hold out for long.

However, Fubuki was the only one among them who was not attacked by the monsters sent by the Chaos Wizard, because he was facing the Chaos Wizard himself.

"What a fine darkness indeed. I'm curious about the lingering aura on you." The Chaos Wizard reached out again. "If I study you properly, perhaps I can achieve another breakthrough in my 'Chaos Magic.' How about it? I can give you one more chance to surrender~"

"That won't do. I am Fubuki-sama of Duel Academy, and many fans are looking forward to my return. It's fine if they are female fans, but if they are male fans like you, I will definitely refuse." Fubuki said, waving her hand. "Besides, do you really think you have us under your control? No~No~No, that's just because I haven't made my move yet."

"The best way to deal with an opponent like you is to use my powerful legs!"

With a quick slap on her thigh, Fubuki subtly gestured to the others.

[Chaos Wizard] I really don't understand what Fubuki means. Generally speaking, duels between warriors are fought with cards, right? What does it have to do with legs? Could it be that these warriors are hiding some secret weapon that he hasn't noticed?
"Hmph, you must be thinking that ordinary warriors draw cards with their hands when they fight, what does it have to do with their thighs?" Fubuki pointed at [Chaos Wizard] and said confidently, "Then let me show you this secret technique inherited from the Duel King, an absolutely invincible divine skill that can defeat any powerful enemy with 100% certainty!"

As she spoke, Fubuki used her exaggerated physical movements, honed through long-term training, to her performance, which actually attracted the attention of the Chaos Wizard, causing the attacks of the monsters surrounding Asuka and the others to slow down slightly.

"My ultimate move is this—"

Seizing the opportunity, Fubuki suddenly shouted as if she was about to charge at the Chaos Wizard, but the next moment she abruptly turned around and changed direction with the others: "—Get out of here!"
