Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 349 The Madness of the Heavenly Demoness
"Well……"

It felt like an eternity had passed. When she opened her eyes, all she saw was an endless expanse of quiet darkness.

However, darkness is a gentle force, and under its embrace, the dark magician girl felt not panic, but peace.

Of course, more importantly, the aura emanating from that darkness was extremely familiar to her.

It was an aura she had been able to sense since childhood:

"Master!"

"Well, I'm here."

Naturally, when she called out, the voice appeared just as naturally.

At the same time, as darkness surged, the tranquility and gloom completely receded, and the lit campfire illuminated the darkness, bringing with it the familiar figure of the girl.

"Thank goodness, Master, you're still alive! I thought you were dead!"

Faced with the girl's excited expression, the black magician was speechless for a moment.

For some reason, he always felt that his apprentice was a bit slow when he spoke. Although he had gotten used to it after so long, the situation was different now.

"You shouldn't be here."

"why?"

"Because there are still many things for you to do, you should stay in the village to digest the magic I passed on to you and protect the village as a Dark Demon."

"But I'm just an apprentice."

Upon hearing this, the dark magician's expression turned aggrieved:
"I have no talent for learning magic, nor am I capable of standing on my own, and then you, Master, came here..."

Some of her intense emotions got stuck in her throat, leaving the girl's already limited mental capacity completely blank.

What did Master come over for?

Seeing the girl's sudden lapse in concentration, the dark magician couldn't help but shake his head:
"It's also my fault for not explaining things clearly to you, but this is indeed a responsibility I need to bear. I'm here because..."

"Feeding them a kill."

"Ok?"

In an instant, the black magician's expression froze.

Seeing his master's expression, as if he were choking on a piece of red stone, the young apprentice couldn't help but shake his head:
"No, that's not it. That's just what my junior brother said before. I don't know what he meant..."

Of course, anyone with a brain would know that this is not a compliment.

Unfortunately, the dark magician girl loses all sense of reason when she's in a panic.

The black magician, who understood this perfectly, could only sigh in the end:

"It seems like he has a lot of opinions about me."

"...Junior brother was actually quite angry."

After hesitating for a moment, the dark magician girl said in a low voice.

"Maybe, I mean maybe... Master, you came to a place like this without saying a word, it feels like you don't quite trust his abilities."

"Actually, you mean I'm holding him back, right?"

"No, no, no."

The big golden retriever shook his head so hard it resembled a rattle drum, and his desperate denial made the black magician chuckle.

"Alright, you don't need to deny anything—after all, your thoughts are written all over your face."

Unease, doubt, and perhaps a little anger.

Ultimately, Dark Magician Girl simply doesn't understand:
Why did things turn out this way?

Meeting her master's helpless gaze, she couldn't help but mutter:
“Orichalcos could be easily defeated, and Junior Brother is so strong… Let me tell you, Master, Junior Brother is really incredibly strong. He can casually break the seal on a legendary dragon, and he can even use that giant snake monster called Dartz as a jump rope, and that enormous phantom dragon…”

"I know."

Unable to resist interrupting his apprentice's burgeoning interest, the black magician closed his eyes.

“I understand all of this. I have always been able to feel the world-class power resonating within him. He is more than capable of dealing with Orichalcos.”

"Since you know this too, Master, why..."

"Even so, I cannot allow them to meet."

"them?"

Meeting his apprentice's questioning gaze, the black magician closed his eyes.

"Behind the seal lies someone he absolutely does not want to, and cannot, face." "Who is it?"

"She is my senior, and also... his teacher."

…………

'tick'

Before the enormous stone slab, which seemed to be branded with carvings of giant snakes, the almost liquid, dark shadows fell to the ground.

A twisted monster, a blend of black and white, demon and angel, stood there, its black and white spirits moving at her fingertips, eventually merging into the illusory shadow of a ferocious beast.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

With a sigh, the witch turned her gaze toward the entrance to the cave.

Under the still-bright sunlight, the young figure holding the magic wand resonated with surging magic.

"Black Magician—Junior Brother, you've grown up."

She seemed to have forgotten the passage of time, burying herself in experiments and research; the witch's memory seemed to have remained at the moment she left the village.

"You've finally become someone who can stand on your own."

"Senior sister, stop. You shouldn't be like this."

"...What was I like before?"

At that moment, the witch seemed to be in a state of confusion. While pondering, she couldn't help but examine her own current state.

Her once red sorceress robes were now tattered and torn, and the full wings that had always accompanied her and symbolized her angelic identity had turned into skeletons.

"Ah, I see. So much time has passed."

The witch instinctively covered her head:

"But it's so strange, I feel like not much time has passed at all. But... Junior brother, are you here to help me?"

The sudden words left the young dark demon frozen in place. He wanted to say something, but he simply closed his eyes, which were brimming with magical power.
"No, I'm here to stop you..."

"To stop...is that so? That's a real shame."

Despite the tense atmosphere, the witch remained calm.

The gaunt face reflected the regret and helplessness of someone who had heard that there would be no big meal for dinner and that they would only be able to eat a makeshift meal.

"It's such a bad coincidence that we're at a bottleneck right now... I've run into a bottleneck in my research. My own power—the power of angelic light—has been used up, and the power of the demon race is also about to be exhausted. But I need to obtain more raw materials and resources."

"So you went and kidnapped those angels and demons? So you teamed up with those remnants of the Orichalcos?"

"Well... there's no way around it."

Faced with the black magician's questioning, the witch's voice stammered:

"I must... I must find a way to end this disaster, otherwise... otherwise I will be letting down those who died."

"But the disaster is over."

"No, it's not over yet!"

Like a sick cat whose tail has been stepped on, the witch let out a sharp but weak hiss.

"It's not over yet. Even if that thing is sealed away, our world still has those twisted, uncommunicative monsters."

"But that can already be controlled, as long as it's eradicated on a regular schedule..."

"Does our world have to bear this responsibility? Does our world... the Elf Realm have to be entangled with that world and bear the consequences of every decision made by the people of that world?"

The witch then covered her head:
"It shouldn't be like this, it's just...it shouldn't be like this."

"But what are you doing now, Senior Sister? You've personally destroyed the inhabitants of this world..."

"But it's already very fast!"

She retorted hysterically:
"There's just one last step, just one more step to finish. Then, our world will start anew from chaos and become an independent dimension!"

"What would the world be like now?"

"..."

Faced with the Black Demon's simple question, the witch fell silent.

She opened her mouth several times, but her silence conveyed the cruel reality.

"Therefore, I must stop you."
