Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

In this dark duel where my soul was at stake, I, Camilla, won!!!

“Go! If you can fight, just come at me~~~!” With his arms wide open, he made a pose ready to be attacked by anyone. The mockery on Camilla’s face became even more intense than before.

After realizing that his threats had a certain effect on Caesar, Camilla's mouth corners unconsciously curled up, and he almost rode on Caesar's head and acted tyrannically.

The invincible Cebadolagon, right?

Caesar...if you really don't care about your brother's life or death, then go ahead and attack me!

Anyway, even if I lose, I can try again...

However, your brother will be destroyed by your own hands and will never be resurrected!

Caesar: "..."

If possible, Caesar really wanted to skip the duel and just punch Camilla hard!

But, that kind of thing is unrealistic, after all, it can only be thought about...

Not to mention the physical differences between humans and vampires, his extremely proud character alone means that he is currently unable to do the despicable act of insulting the duel like Camilla did!

"Brother...you must win...Brother..."

Just when Caesar was silent, Maruto Sho, whose consciousness was already blurred, finally did not choose to hold him back, pester his brother, and beg him to sacrifice himself in exchange for his survival. Instead, he made another move that surprised everyone.

Marufuji Sho, this timid and cowardly little man, raised his head with great effort and said a bunch of brave words to his brother Caesar that were totally inconsistent with his character.

"Brother... Being a proud Caesar has always been my goal..."

"So, even if it's for me, you must not lose..."

"It's okay... No matter what I become in the future... I will never hate my brother again..."

"Because... I am just the bottom of Osiris Red... I am just a younger brother who will embarrass you, the older brother of Obelisk Blue..."

"My duel will only be laughed at..."

"Even if I try to participate in the competition... I will only get a very poor result... I can't compare with you, brother..."

"No... No matter how hard I try... No, it's just not possible..."

"If I let my brother lose because of me... it would definitely be a wrong choice..."

"Am I right...Brother?"

After realizing that he had become a burden to his brother, Marufuji Sho, who was captured by Camilla, made a move that surprised Yusei. He resolutely chose to give up his life so that Caesar would not have to care about his life or death.

"Could it be that this kid, Marufuji Sho, has been possessed by someone?"

Narrowing his eyes, Yusei began to think about Maruto Sho's thoughts at the moment: "Or... after knowing that Caesar would never abandon him, he deliberately played the emotional card?"

If that's the case, then it's interesting.

Marufuji Sho, you are such a thoughtful kid!

However...it is also possible that Youxing is overthinking it. There may really be some kind of bond between the brothers that outsiders cannot understand...

Who knows.

"No! Xiang... Compared to your past self, you're doing very well now..." Ignoring Camilla's teasing gaze, Caesar blinked and slowly put down the duel disk in his hand.

Although he did not directly choose a quick victory, his actions at this moment already represented his thoughts.

Caesar, this arrogant man, finally chose to face his own heart.

Saving his brother was more important than a false victory.

Even though... that brother wasn't worth doing this for...

"You should be more confident..." Caesar said lightly, smiling at his younger brother.

"……elder brother?"

"From now on, you have to work hard too... Xiang..."

"Brother... why... did you say these words to me as if you were saying goodbye?"

"..."

Looking at the smile on Caesar's face, Maruto Sho couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart.

It was as if he was about to lose his closest family member...

"elder brother……"

"...Shut up, you little brat!"

Waving his fingers to block the words that Marufuji Sho wanted to say, Camilla, who had been waiting for a long time, finally took new action.

"Caesar~ I don't need to tell you what to do next, right?"

"If you want to save your brother, then use yourself in exchange... Surrender and show me your sincerity... Otherwise..." Camilla narrowed her charming eyes and looked at Caesar. In addition to the threatening look, there was an uncontrollable joy on her face.

Ahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

O Caesar!

I admit...I am indeed inferior to you in dueling...

But... Dark Duel, when will I ever be fair to you?

I can't beat you, but so what?

The final winner is still me, Camilla, right?

Do you still want to exchange for so-called victory by sacrificing your own brother's life?

Even if I do nothing next, do you dare to attack me?

You don’t dare!!!

Then, it is my victory!!!

"Caesar! I will take your soul!"

There were lightning and thunder outside the window, and at the same time, a dazzling light burst out from Camilla's pupils.

She proudly stretched out her arms towards Caesar, who had given up resistance.

A purple flame emerged from her palm and floated towards Caesar.

Then, like Professor Chronos who had been defeated before, Caesar, whose body was wrapped in purple flames, disappeared into the deep castle together with the monsters on his field.

"...Caesar!!!"

"……elder brother!!!"

"……Bright!"

As everyone exclaimed, the blank doll in Camilla's hand that had absorbed Caesar's soul slowly turned into a Q version of Caesar.

Naturally, the second key to the Gate of the Seven Stars held by Caesar also fell into Camilla's hands.

"I'll take his doll~"

Holding Caesar's puppet carefully in his arms, Camilla, who had won by despicable means, hooked his finger in the direction of the crowd and proudly declared: "Don't worry, as my most precious puppet... I will definitely take good care of him~~~"

"...Ka! Miu! La!"

With a tangible anger burning in his eyes, Yuki Judai, who witnessed Caesar's last moment, clenched his fists and roared unwillingly: "Caesar...didn't lose!!!"

Professor Chronos, Caesar Liang...

Their true strength was obviously much stronger than that of this vampire, but due to various reasons, they had to leave the stage with hatred.

How could he accept such a result?

Shouldn’t dueling be something that brings happiness to everyone?

Why... do I feel so much pain?

Unforgivable!

I will never forgive... the person who started this kind of duel... and made everyone suffer!

I must win... and bring everyone's souls back!!!

"Judai...don't forget what Professor Chronos said at the end!"

Seeing that Yuki Judai seemed to be showing signs of turning evil, Yusei quickly patted his shoulder and pulled him back from the edge of the abyss.

Overlord Tenth Generation, it’s not your turn to appear on the stage yet!

“Hahahahahaha…whatever you say…”

"... Close the door and send the guests away!"

Laughing and waving his arms, Camilla, who had won his second victory tonight, suddenly turned into a gust of wind and left the hall, leaving everyone in silence...

……

"Seven doors...have two of them been opened?"

In the principal's office, feeling the vibration coming from the ground, Principal Samejima, with his hands behind his back, looked up at the distant sky with a worried look on his face.

The night was as dark as ink, without a trace of light, just like his heart at the moment.

Although Yusei defeated the vanguard of the Seven Stars, Darkness, with his efforts, he lost two important companions in succession when facing the second Seven Stars, Camilla.

"...Isn't it a bit too cruel to give them such a trial?"

Along with this sudden voice, a picture with a black and white background suddenly popped up on an LCD screen not far behind Principal Samejima.

On the other side of the screen, an old man whose face could not be seen clearly was speaking to Principal Samejima in a leisurely tone, as if trying to persuade him to surrender: "Jiaojima...just hand over the remaining five keys to me~to avoid such unnecessary sacrifices..."

"…Becoming a vampire's 'artwork' is not such a pleasant thing!"

"……I reject!"

Without even a second thought, or even turning his head, Principal Samejima rejected the visitor's proposal without hesitation: "You won't know the outcome until the duel is over!"

"Humph! This time even your favorite disciple Marufuji Ryo was dealt with! Don't you care at all?"

"That's Liang's choice. I have no right to interfere."

"Even that Marufuji Ryo couldn't deal with Camilla... Who are you going to send to die next?"

"That... please don't worry about it."

"..."

"..."

After a round of routine verbal attacks, both sides shut up at the same time.

Got it!

If we keep arguing, there will be no end to it.

I'm here to persuade you to surrender, not to quarrel!

On the other side, Principal Samejima, who remained silent, frowned unconsciously, thinking about a series of recent events.

A mysterious duel group that calls itself the King of the Seven Stars, possesses dark items, and has certain information on their side.

If... the enemy was inside from the very beginning, then it would be easy to understand.

"Chairman Kagemaru...are you so afraid of your own death?"

A relatively unfamiliar name came out from the mouth of Principal Samejima.

... Shadow Maru.

In other words, Kagemaru, the chairman of the Duel Academy.

That mysterious dragon is invisible from head to tail, and only known by name but not seen. It seems that he is a "big shot" who only exists in public items such as student handbooks.

The person on the screen behind him is none other than the mastermind behind the Seven Stars—Chairman Yingwan!

This old friend of his, this man who had created countless glories and had the same dream as him...

But it was after he was old that he deliberately launched such a far-reaching attack for his own selfish desires!

...so confusing!
