Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"...Gu!"

As Hell Caesar's voice sounded, the complete form of [Armored Prison Dragon·Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] also flapped its jointed wings, wrapped the body of [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon], and rushed straight towards Fubuki, revealing its sharp fangs.

Feeling the huge shadow rushing towards her, Fubuki felt the pressure rising sharply. She gritted her teeth and immediately opened the cover card in the backcourt: "…It's not over yet! Ryo, at the moment you attack, I will activate the trap card in my backcourt - [Absorption Shield]!"

By pressing the button on the duel disk, Fubuki immediately turned over the covered card in the backcourt.

"I can only activate this skill when the opponent's monster declares an attack. The attack of that monster is negated, and I restore the health of that monster equal to its attack power!"

"Hmph! [Absorption Shield], huh..."

Looking at the trap card that was opened in front of Fubuki, which had a lot of connections with himself, Hell Caesar narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

He has many bad memories about this card.

"Ryo... I knew you would think I was ambushing a card with a counterattack effect like [Holy Shield - Mirror Force-]."

With a knowing smile on her lips, Fubuki continued, "...[Dark Dragon Claw] can indeed prevent the monster from being destroyed, but the effect of [Absorption Shield] is not within this range! As long as I survive this wave of attacks, I will win this duel!"

Due to the negative effect of [Power Combined], at the end of this round, Hell Caesar will receive effect damage equal to the original attack power of [Armored Prison Dragon·Cyber ​​Dark Dragon], which is 2000 points.

Hell Caesar now has 400 health points left, which means that he will be defeated at the end of the round.

The attack that carried his hope and determination was also countered by Fubuki's backcourt [Absorption Shield]. It seemed that... the outcome of this duel had already been decided.

“…Heh, Soreiwado Kana (Is that really the case)?”

"Nani?!"

Listening to Tenjouin Fubuki's words, Hell Caesar's face flashed with a look of planning: "Fubuki, if it were me in the past, I might lose to you..."

"But now that I've returned from hell, I'm completely different!"

A layer of blue fighting spirit emerged from the surface of his body, and on Hell Caesar's rather heroic face, a distorted expression appeared: "In order to win, to reach a higher level, I chose to abandon my old friend! How could I, who has paid so much, fall here!!!"

"...Ryo!" Feeling her best friend's determination, Fubuki subconsciously called out his name.

"Fubuki, you are still too naive! Chain your Trap Card's activation, and I will activate the effect of [Armored Prison Dragon: Cyber ​​Dark Dragon]!"

With a look of determination in his eyes, Hell Caesar swung his arms violently and roared loudly: "When the opponent activates the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster Card, you can only activate it by sending an Equipped Spell Card on your field to the Graveyard. That activation is invalid and destroyed! This effect has no limit on the number of times it can be used!

I remove the equipped magic card [Dark Dragon Claw], negate the activation of [Absorption Shield] and destroy it! ”

"What... is it an unlimited number of three-color Kang?!" Hearing the roar of Hell Caesar, Tenjouin Fubuki's body froze in place due to excessive shock.

In other words, as long as [Armored Prison Dragon·Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] has enough accessories, it can continue to fight without being restricted by the number of chains and the number of rounds, right?

"Is this... the strength of the LiDianLiu... [Electronic Dark] series?"

The effect of the trap card was negated by [Armored Prison Dragon·Cyber ​​Dark Dragon]. At the same time as the card was shattered, the attack from [Armored Prison Dragon·Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] broke through all defenses and was fed back to Tenjouin Fubuki.

The damage was as high as 8000 points. While destroying the [Meteor Dragon Meteor Black Dragon], it also reduced Tenjouin Fubuki's health to 0 in one breath.

(Tenjoin Fubuki LP: 4000 → 0)

At the moment before being defeated, what came to mind of Tenjouin Fubuki was her sincere admiration for the powerful effects of the [Electronic Dark] series.

And in the next second, his body, along with the [Meteor Dragon Meteor Black Dragon] on his field, was engulfed by the energy wave emitted from the back of the [Armored Prison Dragon·Electronic Dark Dragon].

His own consciousness, like a revolving lantern, followed the impact and came to a dark space of consciousness.

"Go away, my friend."

"This sound is... bright?"

In the empty and dark space of consciousness, a flame of hope suddenly ignited. The voice of Marufuji Ryo came from this flame and echoed in the ears of Tenjouin Fubuki who was in a daze.

Hearing the voice, Fubuki subconsciously turned his gaze in the direction where the voice came from, and then he saw the shadow of Hell Caesar emerging from the flames.

"Fubuki, I am not in the darkness, nor am I bound by the darkness, so I don't need you to save me..." Speaking lightly, the phantom of Hell Caesar conveyed his current state to Fubuki.

"You mean... you haven't lost yourself?"

"...I just want to find the new power that exists in the darkness where no light can reach."

Upon hearing this unexpected news, Fubuki was instinctively stunned.

Huh? Didn't Principal Samejima say that his beloved disciple had gone astray and was controlled by the power of darkness? What's going on?

"Why? Why would you do such a thing?" Fubuki opened her mouth and asked the question she wanted to know most, how did the Marufuji Ryo of the past become what he is now.

"That's... for victory."

"Victory? Why are you so obsessed with winning?"

Unable to understand her best friend's pursuit of victory, Fubuki subconsciously wanted to lean her body towards him.

"..."

"Liang! Answer my question!"

In response to Fubuki's question, there was only a long silence.

And just as Fubuki shouted this sentence loudly, the figure of Hell Caesar gradually dissipated and withdrew from his consciousness.

Fubuki regained consciousness and woke up from the darkness. She came to her senses and found that she had fallen to the ground behind her due to the impact of the duel.

The evil dragon mask representing the power of darkness had dissipated into thin air along with the black fog as the duel ended, and returned to his body, waiting to wake up next time.

"That is indeed bright, and he has not forgotten to respect his opponent."

After feeling the true meaning behind Hell Caesar's cold exterior through the duel, Fubuki shook her head, reached out and took out her GX badge from her bosom, and threw it in front of Hell Caesar: "You are worthy of it, Ryo! This badge is for you!"

“…I have no interest in this kind of thing.”

Hell Caesar, who won the duel, didn't even look at the badge thrown by Fubuki.

He put away the duel disk, looked at Fubuki who was raising herself from the ground, and laughed triumphantly, "For me now, victory is enough! Hehehehehehehe~~~"

Hell Caesar had no interest in the GX badge that symbolized victory in a duel, nor in the vain title of becoming the champion of the GX Tournament.

After confirming the strength of the Cyber ​​Flow deck through the duel with Fubuki, he felt ripples in his heart and felt the new power. Next, he planned to look for other stronger opponents on this island and make them the next sword-testing stone for his new deck!

"Fubuki!"

"Fubuki-senpai, are you okay?"

"Youxing, big brother...wait for me~~~"

Just as Caesar, who had won the victory, was about to leave the crater, Youxing and his group, who had been attracted by the duel between the two, also arrived here.

The shocking showdown between the gigantic Black Flame Dragon and the Evil Bone Dragon was so devastating that it was hard not to notice what was happening here.

Looking at Tenjouin Fubuki sitting on the ground, and Caesar whose temperament changed drastically and seemed to be planning to leave, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Marufuji Sho, the biological younger brother of Hell Caesar, was completely confused after seeing his brother with his own eyes.

"...Brother, are you back?"

What...what's going on?

Why does my brother want to duel with Fubuki-senpai?

Judging from the result, it seems that my brother won...

What on earth happened?

604 Let me help you heal your internal friction!

"Brother, why did you become like this?"

As his younger brother, Marufuji Ryo, he has many doubts about his returning brother Marufuji Ryo.

Marufuji Ryo, who used to respect duels and opponents, has now become the infamous Hell Caesar in the professional league.

Why did he become like this? Why did he severely injure his opponent in the professional league game...

And why... even when facing his own brother, he didn't show much intimacy, but instead had a cold expression as if he saw a stranger...

"Xiang, my foolish brother, has time stopped for you? Why haven't you made any progress? It seems... you still haven't mastered the [Power Combination] I gave you before!"

Hell Caesar stopped walking and looked at his good-for-nothing brother with a scrutinizing gaze.

Marufuji Sho was still wearing the Osiris red uniform.

Unlike his brother who was a genius and as dazzling as a star, he did not have any amazing talent in dueling, nor could he compete with those who were better and worked harder than him.

Moreover, his personality tends to be evasive and cowardly.

Therefore, even though so much time had passed in the second year of Duel Academy, Maruto Sho was still wandering around in the same place without any progress.

When encountering difficulties, he hides behind his eldest brother Yuki Judai. When there is trouble, there is eldest brother, and when there is no trouble, there is Judai. He is a pure parasite.

And it was precisely because of this realization that Hell Caesar deliberately stopped and expressed a heartfelt sigh to his stupid Ododo.

“Brother…I…I…”

Marufuji Sho, who felt ashamed that Caesar had seen through his heart, subconsciously shrank his body.

He originally planned to escape by hiding behind his eldest brother, Yuki Judai, as he had done countless times before.

However, under the meaningful gaze of Hell Caesar, Maruto Sho was so frightened that he could only bite the bullet and look his brother in the face.

Unlike his younger brother who has been in a greenhouse for a long time, Caesar, as the older brother, is a strong man who returned from hell and experienced a life-and-death duel.

Therefore, even if he did nothing, the aura that subconsciously emanated from his body made Maruto Sho feel a pain that was almost suffocating, and he was unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"...Sho, if you want to know the answer, then defeat me in a duel."

Caesar narrowed his eyes, seemingly losing interest in continuing the conversation, and pointed his right index finger in the direction of Maruto Sho: "Defeat Hell Caesar and surpass my achievements. Then you will know the answer you want to know."

"Huh? Surpass brother? Are you kidding me..."

Hearing the words coming out of Caesar's mouth, which seemed extremely outrageous no matter how he listened to them, Maruto Sho, who was terrified, subconsciously showed a horrified expression: "...How could I be your opponent, brother!"

"Then you won't get the answer to your question."

Retracting his fingers, the Hell Caesar dressed in black raised his arms and held them high in front of him. Then he looked at his brother with a disdainful look: "... Three days. I'll give you three days to make a decision."

"Three...three days?"

"That's right. Three days later, come and duel with me in front of the gate of the Duel Academy."

Hell Caesar took another step forward, made such a declaration, and then passed by his brother's trembling body, and left without looking back.

"If you don't dare to come, then it means that I misjudged you, Xiang. At that time... you should just stop being a duelist and find a factory to work properly."

Floating along with the breeze were the last words left by Hell Caesar.

These light words, which meant nothing to Youxing and the others, were like sharp swords, piercing deep into Marufuji Sho's chest.

Maruto Sho was hit hard by his brother's words. He turned to the people who had complicated expressions and smiled a smile that was uglier than crying: "Um... good brothers, save me!"

Everyone: "..."

Well, Caesar is indeed quite accurate in judging people.

Marufuji Sho is just like that, he can't change it.

……

Unable to resist Marufuji Sho's repeated requests, Yuki Judai, the eldest brother, and Kenzan, who is also Yuki Judai's younger brother, decided to give Marufuji Sho, who has been lazy for so long, an expedited hellish special training.

Youxing originally didn't intend to get involved, but after seeing the two people's timid behavior, he couldn't help it, so he joined in and increased the intensity by dozens of times.

To put it simply, the so-called special training means that except for the most basic needs such as eating and sleeping, Maruto Sho has been beaten by Judai Yuki and Kenzan all the time.

After Yusei joined, Marufuji Sho, who experienced the wonderful feeling of being beaten in shifts day and night, even sleeping became a luxury.

"…Yami! Big brother, Yusei, stop it! This is not a real duel!!!"

"Huh? Xiang, why are you backing out so quickly? Didn't you say you wanted our help?"

"...Do you still want to win? Do you think it's possible to take the normal path against a strong man like your brother?"

"That's what I say, but..."

"Hey! Man, why are you being so fussy? Just shut up and listen to us!"

"That's right, Senior Maruto Sho, if you just give up like this, I will look down on you!"

“I… Ughhhhhhhhhh…!!!”
