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

Chapter 37 Instinct
Beneath the gloomy sky, there was an ominous bloody light.

On the dead and silent earth that seemed to have never changed, some ancient sacrificial ritual was being performed.

Amid the wailing and crying of countless souls, the devil opened his eyes.

Beneath the gorgeous cloak, a pair of scarlet eyes stared directly at the five-colored glow in the center of the ceremony.

After the light faded, five different figures appeared.

They are all different in height, weight, and species, but here they all have the same name:
"Humanity."

The demon made a low sound.

"You failed. You didn't even bring back a single sacrifice."

He narrowed his eyes, a hint of cruelty revealed in the scarlet slits.

"It seems that you have failed His Majesty's expectations."

"No, that's not the case. Please listen to our explanation."

A panicked voice came from the light.

"We should have succeeded, but there was a little surprise."

"Oh? Accident?"

The demon raised his voice slightly, with a hint of evil, almost curious.

"Yes, we have already collected all the information and designed different tactics and counter-card decks for those duelists, but..."

"Okay, I'm not interested in hearing your second retelling."

The devil slowly raised his hand, and the five former business elites instantly stood there like puppets.

In their terrified gazes, sticky light flowed out from their bodies and gradually merged into the demon's mind.

"Fisherman Kajiki, thief Keith... humph, and that incompetent old man."

When the frail figure of a three-eyed demon appeared before his eyes, the demon sneered.

"I didn't expect he was still alive..."

But before he could make any more criticisms of this old acquaintance, a touch of white caught his attention.

"So you fucking use the evil dragon."

It was at this moment that he felt an instinctive sense of disharmony.

"Is this the new 'human'?"

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with the image of white hair and black clothes. The incongruity is more reflected in the mysterious things that cannot be seen or touched.

That's what people generally call this thing.

“The atmosphere of the duel is completely different.”

"So where's your dragon?"

“Do you have any other operations?
The face that had become shriveled due to the evaporation of blood was extremely calm, and there was no trembling in the deep eye sockets.

"The game isn't over yet, is it?"

"This guy, he doesn't have any fear?"

Staring at the strange figure, the demon frowned.

"Even though he was seriously injured, he didn't care at all, and even treated the sacred battle as a game..."

"So you see, this guy is not normal at all."

Just as the demon was deep in thought, he heard a trembling voice.

Looking straight ahead, a hint of flattery appeared on the weak faces of the five giants who once existed as humans, including Kogoro Daimon.

"Sir, I really didn't expect to meet such a person. He can even use other people's cards at will. I really..."

But faced with the unchanging evil, he immediately changed his words:
"But I didn't think of retreating. I wanted to fight him to the death, but..."

Kogoro Daimon's speech became faster and faster, and he looked more and more excited.

"That is to say, that evil dragon... the Five Emperor Dragon didn't give me a chance at all. I don't know what happened at the last moment, but it brought us back here."

"Well, I see it."

"It even released the sacrifice that was already in hand."

"Um……"

Seeing the devil nodding, the corners of the five giants' mouths couldn't help but rise. At this moment, the originally cold atmosphere seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

But before the joy of surviving the catastrophe could spread, the devil spoke:

"But that's why it's hungry."

The moment the words fell, the smiles on the faces of the five giants disappeared.

"Sir, you must be joking..."

Kogoro Daimon couldn't help swallowing. "You... you shouldn't be short of sacrifices. Didn't you just break through the defense circle? There... there should be other defenders besides the machines."

"Yes, there is..."

"Then you should have no shortage of offerings."

"That's the theory."

"Then why..."

"Because I have not received their souls."

"What……"

In that strange silence, the devil couldn't help but sigh:
"I don't know why, but when we broke through the defense circle, there was nothing there. The souls were neither absorbed by the bone tower nor scattered."

Hearing the devil's answer, Kogoro Daimon wanted to say something, but the heavy pressure pressed on his tongue, making him unable to make a sound.

In that strange silence, only the devil's sigh seemed to be filled with regret:
"You are actually my subordinates who are very easy to use, but..."

The five giants slowly raised their heads and saw the same treacherousness that had never changed.

"That's a pity."

The shadow gradually loomed, and the figure of an evil dragon emerged behind the demon.

Five heads and ten eyes glowed with a hungry and bloodthirsty light.

"no, do not want!"

The next moment, the echo was a series of wailing.

"Ahhh!"

The veterans of the Haima Group, the five giants who once dominated the business world with various means, were swallowed up without any resistance.

Perhaps they did have a legendary past, but the glory condensed from those years eventually fell into the rough hands of the devil.

Gradually, a blue card appeared.

"FGD Five Emperor Dragon (lv12)"

Attribute/Dark

"Race/Dragon"

"atk/5000 edf/5000"

"I see. You were scared, so you gave in to your instinct and chose to run away."

As the evil dragon roared, the demon gently stroked the trembling card.

"Although it's just a hollow shell temporarily revived through my magical ritual, it can instill an instinctive fear in the ancient evil dragon and command the subordinates that Grayfa conquered through violence. I didn't expect there would be a human wizard so proficient in 'Red Magic'..."

"Lord Hades! Lord Hades!"

With a sharp cry, an ugly familiar flew over.

"We still have one hour to reach our destination!"

But before it could get close enough, and even before the sharp roar had completely died down, a golden flash of lightning suddenly burst out and engulfed it.

In the flash of lightning, the familiar's body fell helplessly to the ground, emitting a burnt smell.

The demon showed no mercy and simply stepped over its body.

"Speed ​​up the march further. The Undead King is looking forward to those powerful souls!"

'Boom'

Lightning roared, and the brief light illuminated Hades's face, which was as broken as that of a dead person.

Under the hood, the scarlet eyes looked into the distance. Above the sea of ​​corpses and blood that was like commonplace, there were all kinds of deformed figures.

Skeletons, evil spirits, demons, and the brutal army that is spreading across the mountains are advancing unstoppably.

"So, how can you, hiding from others, fight back?"

…………

"Ah."

After sneezing uncontrollably, You Ming couldn't help but rub his nose.

"I didn't expect to sneeze in a place like the underworld."

And when the fleeting itch disappeared, he felt the gazes from all around him.

"Uh...don't mind me, my nose is just a little itchy."

In response to this, Noa, who was still sitting in the center, couldn't help but sigh.

"With a powerful enemy at hand, how about being a little more serious?"

"Is there a possibility that I am actually serious?"
