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

Chapter 359 Until someone can save us
In that desolate, seemingly eternally silent, empty universe, a roar shattered the silence completely.

Within the corrosive fog spread by the "Chaotic Illusion," a colossal dragon clad in jet-black armor, seemingly constructed of dark magic, stretched out its wings.

When the "Black Magician of Destruction," who was also present, was directly engulfed by that power, the "Merged Dragon" was surrounded by vortexes that flashed like thunder and lightning, completely shattering the chaotic power that the medicine had invaded its body.

"what?!"

Gazing at the dragon's still-present, seemingly indestructible body, the witch's icy expression softened for the first time.

"This is a noble all resistance that you have from the moment you are successfully Special Summoned."

With its steel wings spread, the magical dragon roared defiantly at the ultimate illusionary demon.

In the midst of that standoff, the duelists took a deep breath:
"When 'Fusion Dragon' is successfully Special Summoned, this effect is applied—unaffected by other cards until the end of your next turn, and..."

Amidst the roar, time slowly moved forward, and the "Chaotic Illusion Demon" that had stood on the side of the Wandering Netherworld finally faded away.

"After activating its effect, the Chaos Illusion will return to your field."

Space distorted, and the figure of the ultimate phantom reappeared in the void, but during this process, the witch never looked back at the monster that belonged to her.

In those crimson eyes, the still-standing demonic dragon was reflected:
"Combined Dragon - Timaeus (lv10)"

Attribute/Dark

"Race/Dragon"

"atk/2800 def/1800"

Beneath its broad wings, the duelist slowly placed its hand on the deck.

"Well then, I'll begin—the card draw."

The movements were clean and efficient, as if sparks were flying from the fingertips.

Amidst the burning flames, a sinister thought suddenly surfaced in the witch's mind.

Perhaps... it's already over?

But is this possible?
At least I still have "Chaos Illusion" on my field, and besides "Chaos Illusion", there is also "Warbreaker" in defensive stance, which acts as a dispensable wall.

At least the "Chaotic Illusion" cannot be destroyed in battle, at least...

"At least the monsters fused by 'Dimensional Fusion Kill' won't inflict combat damage on you."

As if interpreting one's innermost feelings, a voice rang out.

The voice startled the witch, and her crimson gaze involuntarily swept towards the young duelist protected by the demonic dragon:
"You can hear my thoughts... No, that's not right."

In a daze, she felt as if she saw that figure again—a woman with the same face as her, whose wings had withered.

She gently embraced him, and beneath the witch's encircling arms, the boy's mouth opened and closed:
I understand everything about you.

"impossible."

"I know the whole story."

"too late."

"I believe your initial intentions were not bad."

"What's the point of saying all this now!"

"Have."

Faced with that roaring question, he simply gave the answer that everyone already knew:

"You saved me."

"save……"

"So this time it's my turn to save you—the main phase."

"How arrogant..."

The witch still wanted to express her strong denial, but the shimmering light shattered all doubts:
"The effect of the Perpetual Trap has been activated."

'boom'

As the intense magical light surged, it was as if everything was being torn apart.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the darkest time ten thousand years ago, and the long-lost figure seemed to appear before her eyes:

"I'm sorry, child. I am the teacher, but after teaching you magic, I didn't have the ability to guide you, let alone gain your trust. I couldn't even save you when you went astray. I could only hurt you when you were at your weakest."

"Master..."

"But it's okay, someone will definitely be able to save you in the future."

The figure gradually became blurry, but the voice was clearer than ever before:
"Perhaps in a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, someone will be able to keep up with you and no longer make you feel alone, so until then... please be patient for a while."

'Boom!' In the end, all that remained of my memory was that stone slab.

That which seals everything, marked by the soul:
"The Eternal Soul."

The duelist's steady voice pulled the witch from her thoughts; in that instant, memories from ten thousand years ago seemed to overlap with the scene before her:

Special Summon a "Dark Magician" card from the Graveyard.

"Black Magician"

"atk/2500"

"Then, because 'Dark Magician' was successfully Special Summoned, the effect of 'Dark Magic Circle' will activate—"

Amidst the surging magic, the operating magic array tore space apart.

"Select 'Chaotic Illusion' to exclude it."

"Amitel" - a monster that is a combination of illusion and demon, it only has resistance to battle destruction.

And in this case...

"It's over—'Dark Magician,' attacking 'Warbreaker'—Dark Mage."

The Dark Demon brandished his wand, unleashing a torrent of dark magic that crashed down and engulfed the Demon Pendulum.

When the field was empty and there were no obstacles in front of it, the dragon also flapped its wings and spontaneously began to conjure its supreme black magic:
"The Combined Demonic Dragon—Black Demon Destruction."

Without obstruction or interference, as the destructive power, like the breath of a dragon, swept across, visible cracks appeared in the dueling arena, which was as vast as the universe.

'Kara'

then……

[Witch LP: 1900 → 0]

"ended."

'boom'

When the deep space of the universe, which served as the battlefield, shattered, Yumei felt gravity again.

Once he was sure that his feet were truly on the ground, he looked around—as if he had never left, the surroundings were still that nearly enclosed, deep cave.

As for the differences...

[Congratulations, host, on your victory!]

‘Zi La’

The inexplicable throbbing pain seemed to echo in my mind again, like a black screen on a movie, with only darkness appearing before my eyes.

When the scrambling, crashing sounds completely disappeared, all that remained was the woman lying on the ground.

Seeing her vulnerable appearance, You Ming subconsciously took a step forward, but involuntarily turned his gaze to the black magician beside him.

But before he could speak...

"You saved my senior sister."

The black magician turned around:

"You are the one... the one your senior sister has been waiting for."

Watching the Black Demon Clan's weak yet heavy steps, You Ming fell silent.

He finally took the initiative and walked alone to the witch's side.

"world--"

He could clearly hear that fragile breathing from so close by:

"No—we shouldn't..."

She seemed to have run out of words, but You Ming could understand the regret and persistence she was trying to express.

Just as he once said, he knew everything about her.

"You are not fighting alone, nor are you all alone."

and so……

"That's enough."

He took her dark arm, which was already covered in cracks.

Meeting that bewildered gaze that seemed to hold a hint of doubt, the duelist simply placed that porcelain-like palm against his forehead:
"You no longer need to work hard alone."
