A duelist never gives up!

As Nafeli spoke, his voice suddenly became softer.

He suddenly recalled something.

Among Sera's insect demons, there seems to be a double chance with Hope.

Although that happened a long time ago, but...

"I say, you don't have any cards in your deck that give you a double chance of winning, do you?" Nafeli said with a forced smile.

"What do you think?" Sera crossed her arms and said with a playful look on her delicate face.

"I think I don't have it anymore..."

"You already brought Psy, so why do you think I won't bring a doubling opportunity?" Sera sneered. "Didn't you say that? Benefits and risks coexist, Nafeli!"

"At least add a teacher!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Sera drew a card from the extra deck and raised it above her head. "Let me end this duel!"

"I stack the Tio's Bug Bewitches and Putica's Bug Bewitches on the field!"

"Xyz Network formed by two monsters! Xyz Summon!"

"No.39 Emperor Hope Double!!!"

Soft light descended from the sky, and Hope, with a pair of white wings, slowly appeared in front of everyone like an angel descending, emitting a holy light.

"I activate the effect of No. 39, Hope King Hope - Double!" Sera shouted. "Remove one Xyz Material, add the Double Chance from the Deck to my hand, and then I stack No. 39, Hope King Hope - Double again!"

"A monster-like network, a monster-like network, a monster-like network!"

"Place your hopes on the white wings! Incarnation of light! Come forth! Number 39, Hope, the Emperor of Hope!"

The huge No. 39 Hope King Hope slowly emerged from the super network and stood guard in front of Sera like a god of war.

"Look carefully, don't blink, this is the last monster you'll see!" Sera proudly pointed at the Light Spirit on Nefeli's field and said, "I enter the battle phase and use No. 39, Hope, the King of Hope, to attack the Shining Light Spirit Lena on your field!"

"Then, I activate the effect of No. 39, Hope King Hope, removing one excess material, negating this attack!"

"Next, I activate the Quick Attack Spell Card - Double Chance!"

"When a monster's attack is negated, you can activate this effect by targeting that monster. During this Battle Phase, that monster can only attack once more. During the Damage Step of that monster's attack, this effect doubles its ATK!"

Sera once again cast her gaze towards the trembling Light Spirit on the Nefeli field, grinning excitedly and saying, "Go! No. 39 Hope Queen Hope! Smash her for me!"

Chapter 42: Nero Arisa

"Peng!"

After a burst of swordplay, Nafeli and Zhuxiu were both knocked out and had a close contact with Mother Earth.

Zhu Xiu, Nafeli lp: 0.

Win: Sierra, North Wind

"Great!"

Bei Feng excitedly stretched out his palm and said, "We won!"

"Well, we won." Sera patted Beifeng's hand lightly and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry about what happened that day."

"I have a problem too. I'm too stingy." Beifeng also spoke hurriedly.

"So we're reconciled then?" Sera winked playfully.

"Of course, we are good friends now." Beifeng pinched Sera's smooth and tender little face to show affection.

"Cough cough."

Nafeli, lying on the ground, coughed twice and said, "Have you forgotten something?"

"Hmm?" Sera looked at Nafeli and Zhu Xiu with a strange expression. "Why haven't you left yet? Do you also want to join the Anti-Duelers Alliance?"

"If you want to join now, you must start from the grassroots level. However, seeing that you two are quite capable, I can reluctantly accept you two as my subordinates." Beifeng said proudly.

"We won't join the Anti-Duelers Alliance." Zhu Xiu shook his head. He looked at Sera with complicated eyes, then sighed deeply and said, "We will accept the loss. We won't reveal your whereabouts to anyone else. Take care of yourself."

As he spoke, Zhu Xiu got up from the ground, patted the dust off himself and said, "Let's go back, Nafeli."

"Oh, that's why I told you not to come at the beginning. Look, what's the point of going back and forth? It's a completely wasted trip..." As Nafeli was speaking, he noticed Zhu Xiu's calm face, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Could it be that this sister-con guy just wants to take a look at his sister?

"Oh right." Zhu Xiu, who was about to disappear into the forest, suddenly turned around and looked at Sera, throwing something out, "Catch this."

Sera reached out and gently caught the object thrown to her, and found that it was the hero she had just returned to Zhu Xiu.

"I'll keep lending you the hero deck," Zhu Xiu said calmly. "Please tell Yuan Qi that no matter what he wants to do, don't let anyone around him get hurt."

After saying that, he disappeared from Sera and Beifeng's sight.

"I understand, Dean." Yuan Qi looked at the dense forest and responded softly.

At the same time, outside the gate of the royal capital, several luxurious carriages remained motionless under the scorching sun, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

"Hey, who else is coming?" a man with long dark green hair asked impatiently.

"You'll know when she comes." Avis said indifferently.

"What a joke! I'm in a hurry to settle accounts with Yuan Qi. If he doesn't show up, I'll leave first!"

That’s right, the owner of this voice is none other than Miao Yan, who successfully escaped from prison with the help of Avis!

"Don't mistake your current identity, Miao Yan." Avis looked at Miao Yan coldly and said, "If you want to return to the Duelist Alliance again, you must make up for your crime and make meritorious contributions."

"Tsk." Miao Yan impatiently cast his gaze towards his other accomplice, "Hey, I remember you seemed to have a good relationship with that Yuan Qi, right? How come you're also participating in this operation?"

The girl named Kaminagi Katsura glanced at Miao Yan calmly and said, "I am also redeeming myself for meritorious service. I failed to stop him that night, and now I want to bring him back myself."

"Hey, don't let him escape again." Miao Yan said sarcastically.

Avis frowned and was about to scold Miao Yan when he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind. He turned his head abruptly and saw a little girl with fair skin and delicate features walking towards him with an expressionless face.

If you don't ignore the string of candied haws in her hand, you might really mistake her for a ghost, right?

After all, if it were a human, how could there be a biting cold frost when walking?

"The Duel King—Perlivia?!" Miao Yan's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at her in disbelief, "She is the last member of our operation?!"

"To be precise, she is the commander-in-chief." Avis said, slowly stepped forward, slightly bent down, and extended his right hand. "It has been a long time since I last met you, Lady Purlivia. I will trouble you with this operation."

If it were the Avis of the past, he would never bow to Perlivia, let alone add the word "adult" after the name Perlivia.

But now, after experiencing that duel, Avis deeply understood his own shortcomings, and also understood how terrifying the woman in front of him was who had won the title of Duel King three times in a row.

Purlivia chewed the candied haws in her mouth gently, looked at the outstretched hand, and said lightly, "Oh."

Then he walked around Avis, came to Miao Yan and Gui and asked, "Who are you two?"

"Kaminagi Katsura, just call me Katsura." Katsura was slightly startled, but quickly reacted and answered.

Purviya's appearance did surprise her, but she didn't have the energy to make a more exaggerated response.

"I am Miao Yan." Miao Yan looked at Perlivia with a serious expression. The woman in front of him was the top duelist in the world.

At least for now, I haven't heard of who she lost to.

"Yeah." Perlivia nodded, stuffed the last string of candied haws into her mouth, and then tossed the bamboo stick to Miao Yan, saying, "Go throw it away."

Miao Yan's face darkened: "Even if you are the Duel King..."

"Hmm?" Perlivia glanced at Miao Yan.

"No, I didn't say anything." Miao Yan gritted his teeth and decided to endure it for the time being.

"Lady Perlivia." At this moment, Avis, who had been bypassed by Perlivia, finally recovered and put away his right hand. As if nothing had happened, he appeared in front of Perlivia again and said politely, "It's getting late. Please set off as soon as possible."

"Wait a little longer, some people haven't arrived yet." said Purva.

"Are there any more people?" Avis couldn't help but frown. "Everyone should be here."

"I brought a junior with me, and I wanted to take this opportunity to give her some experience." Purviya said calmly.

"Well... this operation is very dangerous. Our opponents are the Anti-Duelers Alliance. If you want to gain experience, I can arrange for a team from the alliance to help..."

"No need." Perlivia interrupted Avis and looked not far away and said, "She's here."

Following Perlivia's gaze, Avis saw a little girl who looked somewhat like Perlivia walking slowly towards him with a large backpack on her back.

"Nero Arisa." The little girl came in front of the group and nodded politely, "That's my name."

Chapter 43: God of Duel.

Avis frowned as he looked at the little girl named Nero. He then spoke slowly, "If I remember correctly, you were once a regular member of the Duelist Academy, and you were teammates with Hara Nana, right? How was your relationship?"

As soon as Avis finished speaking, Gui, who was standing beside him, looked at Nero unconsciously.

Silky-smooth short hair, big eyes with distinct black and white, skin as white as jade that seemed to have no pores at all, a delicate little face without any emotion, and her straight waist gave people a sacred and inviolable temperament.

Such a person should not exist in the world. She should live in a fairy tale book, becoming a princess who is pampered throughout her life, or in a master's oil painting, admired by thousands of people.

Is this Yuan Qi's former teammate? Gui was secretly shocked, and his slightly hunched back subconsciously straightened up.

"Yes." Nero nodded, a gleam in his bright eyes. "Hara Nana is my captain. Although he sometimes says things I don't understand, he's very kind to me. We've been on a date together before."

"Date, date?!" Gui raised his finger in surprise, looking at the little girl in front of him in disbelief. Although she did look like someone who wanted to hug her and do this and that, her tender little face, petite body, and slightly developed breasts all proved one thing -

"You're not even 16 yet?!"

"He'll be 14 in a few months," Nero replied.

"I didn't expect that Yuan Qi actually had such a hidden hobby?" Miao Yan sneered, and for some reason he felt a little happy, as if he had learned about his opponent's scandal.

"He actually attacked a 14-year-old..." Gui clenched her fists, a nameless anger welling up in her heart. However, at this moment, she seemed to think of something and asked, "Since you two are so close, why didn't he take you with him when he left?"

"..."

Nero's petite body stiffened slightly, and at a speed visible to Gui's naked eyes, it turned gray like a piece of drawing paper soaked by heavy rain.

"I don't know." Nero drooped his head and made a dull sound like dead water. "I seem to have been left behind."

“Lost it?!”

For a moment, words like abandoned, cold-hearted, hypocritical, and scumbag popped into Gui's mind.

"I understand." Gui placed his hand on Nero's slender shoulder and said with a firm expression, "Don't worry, I will help you catch that scumbag!"

"Thank you." Nero felt warm in her heart, although she didn't think Yuan Qi was a scumbag.

"Wait." Avis, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

"I didn't agree to let her join this operation." Avis said lightly.

Nero looked at Purlivia: "Aunt?"

Purlivia raised her hand and touched Nero: "It's okay."

After that, Perlivia looked at Avis and said, "I am the captain."

I have the final say.

"You heard what she just said, didn't you?" Avis said solemnly, "It's obvious that she has a very good relationship with Yuan Qi. What if she sides with Yuan Qi and betrays us at a critical moment? Compared to powerful enemies, a traitor lurking within is more dangerous, right?"

"Nero wouldn't do that, right?" Purva patted Nero's little head again.

Nero said nothing.

"Nero?" Purviya looked at Nero and motioned her to say something.

"I won't betray Yuan Qi." Nero seemed to react and said quickly, but because he spoke too fast, he accidentally said what was in his heart.

"..."

Deathly silence spread, and Perlivia sighed helplessly in her heart. Never mind, no matter how stupid or foolish she was, she was still her niece.

"She just said she wouldn't betray us," Purlivia said. "Is that okay?"

"..."
