Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"What……?!"

Seeing that Camilla was about to activate the effect of [Vampire Creator] and pull out a new monster, Yusei quickly spoke out to stop her.

Although after the dark props of both sides collided and influenced each other, Camilla can no longer use other people's souls as substitutes for his own.

However, Youxing was obviously worried about this vampire who had a history of cheating.

"Since the effect cannot be activated, then... I will choose to attack directly! Destroy your monster!"

After gaining the bonus effect of [Phantom Wings], the attack power of [Surfing Prosecutor] increased to 2500 points, which is on par with the soul cards of previous protagonists.

However, this attack power is still no match for the [Vampire Creator] who has 3000 attack power.

Attack power 3000 vs. Attack power 2500...

The effect of [Phantom Wings] that protected [Surf Prosecutor] from being destroyed was also offset by the destructive effect of [Phantom Gate]...

Right now, it seems that Camilla has a certain advantage.

"...Wait! Did you forget something important before launching the attack?"

"For example... entrusting your own soul to the Phantom Demon?"

Seeing that Camilla seemed to be playing dumb and deliberately omitting a very important thing, Youxing could not help but narrow his eyes and reminded her.

Powerful cards often come with certain risks.

When obtaining the power of the Phantom Demon Gate, the user must also use his own soul as a bargaining chip.

It was with this despicable method that Camilla was able to snatch the fruits of victory from Caesar...

It was her turn to be blind, so she deliberately ignored this step...

Oh! Wishful thinking!

"...I haven't forgotten!"

"Humph! As long as I win... the person whose soul will be taken away by the phantom demon will be you!"

Hearing Youxing's reminder, Camilla gritted his teeth with resentment in his eyes, then opened his hands and shouted loudly: "I will temporarily hand over the soul of my noble vampire family to the hands of the Phantom Demon to pay the cost of activating the magic card [Phantom Demon Gate]...!"

With the naked eye, a faint blue figure floated out from Camilla's body.

That was her soul, the trace of her existence as a living being.

"This way... you will be satisfied, right?"

Camilla, whose soul was separated and whose body became weak, wiped her lips and shouted out in hatred.

Damn you kid!

Wait until you fall into my hands and see how I punish you!

"Satisfied, of course satisfied!"

Yusei, who got some pleasure from Camilla's pain, patted his uniform and smiled with the corners of his mouth hooked: "Since you have launched the attack declaration, then next, it's my turn to fight back, right?"

Camilla: “……?”

For some reason, when Camilla saw Youxing's smile, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of panic in her heart.

It was as if she, as a prey, had fallen into a deep pit that the hunter had already dug...

"Continue the attack, [Vampire Creator] attacks [Surfing Prosecutor]! Magic Light of Creation!!!" Although he had doubts in his heart, Camilla, who had already spoken, could not withdraw his attack.

Therefore, she could only bite the bullet and pin her hopes on Youxing, hoping that he was just bluffing and did not really have any plan to deal with it.

otherwise……

"Hehehehe...stupid move!"

"… Surrender to Hanno's sublime power and fall into the bottomless abyss! I activate the Trap Card - [Holy Shield - Mirror Force -]!!! Destroy all monsters in Attack Position on your field!!!"

Camilla: “????”

The third covered card was decisively flipped open by Yousei as Camilla attacked.

That is the supreme power that can bring despair to the opponent, the ultimate wall of counterattack!

Unfortunately, Camilla's good wishes were ultimately unfulfilled.

Previously, it was Camilla who blew up other people's monsters, but this time, it was her turn to bear the pain!

“Ugh…!!!”

[Vampire Creator] rushed towards [Surfing Prosecutor], and the fierce expression on his face turned into surprise when Yusei flipped open the cover card.

The purple light wave that had once been invincible was automatically bounced back the moment it came into contact with the [Holy Protective Shield - Mirror Force -].

This time, does it count as me hitting myself?

--boom!

Before the [Vampire Creator] could figure out the problem, it was sent to the cemetery again because of its attack that was bounced back.

Back and forth, snap, so fast!

"Hmm... How should I put it? I feel a little sorry for Camilla..."

Reaching out and scratching the side of his face, Judai Yuki, who originally had hatred towards Camilla, actually began to feel some sympathy for this "poor" vampire.

Invalid, invalid, and then invalid again. I finally pulled out my trump card monster, but it was destroyed by the trap card...

Just, quite outrageous.

The dueling experience is extremely bad.

If it were me, I wouldn't be able to come up with a better solution...

Having said that, after experiencing wave after wave of surprises, Camilla must have reached his limit mentally.

"Huh? ...Pathetic? Judai, what nonsense are you talking about! Have you forgotten what she did to Professor Chronos and Caesar?"

He took out a funny doll of Professor Chronos from the pocket of his black windbreaker and shook it in front of Yuki Judai. Then, Manjome reminded Yuki Judai of his position with a serious face.

The King of the Seven Stars is their enemy, and Camilla himself is not a being controlled by others like Tenjouin Fubuki.

The way she handled things, even her hostility towards them, were all out of her own will, and no one forced her to do so.

For such a non-human creature, the so-called pity is simply a joke!

You sympathize with her, but maybe she is laughing at you in her heart!

"Uh... I just said it casually..."

Being stared at closely by Manjomu, a bean of sweat could not help but appear on Yujo Judai's forehead.

After realizing that his words seemed to contain some discrepancy and were inconsistent with what he wanted to express, he obediently shut his mouth and chose not to speak anymore.

Well... let's just leave everything to Youxing!

As for me, just eat melon obediently!

"Whoosh..."

Asuka found the interaction between Yuki Judai and Manjōmu interesting and couldn't help but smile softly with her hand covering her mouth.

In this serious occasion, we do need some entertainment programs like this to ease the atmosphere.

"4000 HP vs 2000 HP... Camilla's HP is higher, but in this scenario, Yusei has the advantage no matter how you look at it!"

Adjusting his glasses, the Daitokuji teacher who had previously said no, now showed an interested expression on his face.

Looking at the skills displayed by Youxing, he seemed to have some unknown thoughts in his heart.

"Teacher... I always feel like you seem to enjoy this!"

It seemed that he had recovered from the blow of losing his brother. Looking at the expression on Daitokuji's face, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and make a joke.

“That… That’s not the case!”

"Huh? Is that so?"

"That's it... meow!"

After hearing what Maruto Sho said, Daitokuji teacher, who was a little flustered, laughed it off and said, "Rather than focusing on me, you should pay more attention to the duel arena!"

"makes sense……"

Although he still had some doubts in his mind, Marufuji Sho did not continue to dwell on it, but turned his gaze back.

Who cares… What does Daitokuji teacher think of me? I am just a passerby who eats melons! If the sky falls, there are others to hold it up!

……

After his trump card monster was destroyed by the sublime power, Camilla, unable to accept the reality for a moment, just stood there in a daze.

Because she did not make any moves for a long time, the initiative of the round shifted to Youxing's side.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Yusei drew a card from the top of the deck. He had a huge advantage at the moment, but he did not rush to deploy or launch an attack. Instead, he asked Camilla a question: "Camilla, I want to know... why do you have such great hostility towards us?"

If it was simply because of the hostility between the camps, then it would be hard to explain.

Camilla's behavior was undoubtedly mixed with some personal grudges...

"Why? You ask me why?"

As if a sore spot had been touched, after hearing Youxing's words, Camilla immediately revealed an extremely ferocious look and shouted loudly: "The reason why I fell into this situation today...isn't it because of you humans?! And now, you actually come to ask me why I have such hatred for you?"

Yusei: “…Huh???”

Everyone: "????"

After being yelled at for no reason, Youxing couldn't help but have a bunch of question marks pop up in his head.

The crowd watching was also confused because of Camilla's speech.

It shouldn't be...

We should not have seen it before, how can it be our fault? Is there something wrong?

"In medieval Europe, the vampire clan had a unique sense of pride in its heyday, and we also lived peacefully as a proud clan..."

Putting his palm on his chest, Camilla finished his angry roar and then explained to himself: "However, the arrival of humans broke everything!!!"

"They treated us like monsters and formed groups to hunt us down... We were not even allowed to survive... The vampires, who were once so proud and arrogant, have finally been reduced to hiding from place to place..."

"Then, after a long battle, we were defeated due to our numerical disadvantage and were exterminated... I was the only one who survived by chance, hiding in a coffin and falling asleep..."

At this point, Camilla's face showed a look of reminiscence: "Originally I thought that my life would end so lonely, but one day, someone came and woke me up..."

355 The End of Vampire

On the platform, Camilla continued to confess as if he was oblivious to the people around him: "The person who woke me up asked me if I wanted to use the power of darkness to revive the vampire clan..."

"I took this dark tool from his hand..."

"From him, I gained the power I wanted..."

Stroking the golden collar with an eye pattern on her neck, Camilla's face showed a look of reminiscence: "And the reason why I turned my opponents into puppets is not just for fun. The main reason I did this... is to accumulate enough souls!"

"Hmm? Enough...souls? Are you trying to...?" Narrowing his eyes, Youxing couldn't help but lift his chin with his hand, savoring Camilla's words.

"Yes, it's just as you think! I will use human souls in exchange for the resurrection of my companions!"

As we all know, in alchemy, there is the principle of equivalent exchange... (from "Fullmetal Alchemist")

Without sacrifice, one gains nothing.

If you want to get something, you have to pay the same or even higher price.

This rule follows the law of the circle and cannot be easily broken.

In order to revive his fellow vampires, Camilla obviously wanted to use the souls of the human duelists he hunted as sacrifices...

Relying on one-for-one or even multiple-for-one operations.

To resurrect their companions, so that the kingdom of eternal night can come to the world again.

After achieving this goal, Camilla will naturally wield the knife of resistance against humans and vent all the humiliation and hatred he has suffered over the years.

"Really? Is that so..."
