A duelist never gives up!

"That's right..." Nero frowned, recalling what was written in the comics, and slowly said, "Ghosts remain in this world because they still have obsessions in their hearts. If we help them fulfill their obsessions, they can be freed from this world and go to paradise."

The Dark Duel God's expression turned slightly colder, and then his face suddenly darkened. "Obsession, hehe... That's right, you're right... I'm just a lonely ghost wandering in the wild. I still stay in this world because I have an unfulfilled obsession in my heart. Can you help me fulfill this obsession?"

In an instant, Nero felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a cold wind was blowing in from the gap in the window.

Nero used her large, distinct black and white eyes to carefully examine the God of Dark Duel. Then, she opened her rosy lips and asked, "What is your obsession?"

"Someone stole something from me, and I want to get it back." The Dark Duel God said with a slight smile, "As long as I can get back what originally belonged to me, I can become a Buddha."

Was something scammed?

Nero thought for a moment, then gave his answer: "I see. I can help you. What was it that was cheated out of you?"

"Well, it's hard to explain right now, but—you said you would help me, right?" The Dark God of Duel said dimly.

"Well, but I have my own things to do now, so I may have time after I finish them." Nero said to Dark Duel. She still had to rush to Yuan Qi to meet up with her companions.

"That's what the man said before," the Dark Duel God said bitterly. "Anyway, he must be afraid of me, dislike me, and want to give me a hard time... You humans are all like that."

Nero shook his head and said seriously, "I really want to help you, but I have other things to do for the time being."

"Then... let's make a pinky promise." The Dark God of Duel extended his soft pinky finger and said, "Help me fulfill my obsession, and I'll teach you how to duel."

"Teach me how to duel? You?" Nero looked at the Dark God of Duel suspiciously. It wasn't that she looked down on him. If the person floating before her wasn't a little girl but an old man, she might have believed him a little. But this little girl looked about the same age as herself, and asking her to teach him how to duel...

"No, I'm not helping you for anything in return." Nero declined politely.

Tsk, what a troublesome kid.

To reach a contract, both parties must make contributions. If one party makes contributions unilaterally, the contract cannot be reached.

"Do you look down on me? Do you think I'm weak? But... but I have nothing else to offer except dueling." The Dark God of Duel said dejectedly, with even crystal tears flashing in her eyes. She looked like a wounded kitten, looking pitiful.

Nero was slightly startled, and his black pupils shrank suddenly.

Apart from dueling, there's nothing else I can offer...

Isn’t it just yourself?

Nero raised his head and looked carefully at the black-haired little girl in front of him again, and a different emotion surged in his heart.

She's probably just like me, the only thing she's learned from childhood to adulthood is dueling?

Pitiful.

"I understand." Nero stretched out his pinky finger and entangled it with the pinky of the Dark God of Duel. "I'll help you fulfill your obsession, and you teach me how to duel. Is that all right?"

"Well, in this way... the contract is established!" The God of Dark Duel chuckled, and the black mist immediately enveloped the entire carriage. Nero felt his head sink, and then he felt as if there was an extra heavy object in his body.

"What happened?" Nero looked at the Dark God of Duel in a daze, a trace of panic flashing across his playful face like a puppet.

"Huh? Nothing happened?" The Dark God of Duel blinked his eyes, looking as if he knew nothing.

"But I just saw the black one..."

"Did you see it wrong? Is it because you haven't rested for too long?" The Dark God of Duel quickly interrupted Nero and said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Hmm..." Nero rubbed his eyes and nodded slowly, "Then I'll sleep a little longer..."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.

"As expected, children are easy to deceive. I didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed."

After making sure that Nero had fallen into a deep sleep again, the God of Dark Duel chuckled in a voice that only he could hear.

Next, you just need to slowly lurk beside this little ghost to recover your strength. The moment your strength is fully recovered, that will be the time of human destruction!

But that guy Yuan Qi seems to be a "Forsaken of God"? Even if I forcibly absorb the duel power in his body, I'm afraid he will be fine...

By the way, when the time comes, I’ll threaten him with the people around him. If he doesn’t want his friends to be sucked dry by me, he’ll have to kneel on the ground and lick my feet!

When the Dark God of Duel thought of this, he felt happy, as if he had soaked in a hot spring, and all the pores on his body relaxed.

At this moment, a cold, biting breath like the winter wind suddenly came into the carriage, causing the God of Dark Duel to shiver subconsciously.

Her spiritual sense told her that a powerful dueling force was approaching here!

"Could it be Yuan Qi? Impossible! He can't possibly sense my location!" The Dark God of Duel's face suddenly turned pale. First of all, she stated that she was not afraid of Yuan Qi, but her strength had not recovered yet, and she didn't want to confront Yuan Qi head-on.

"Hey, don't sleep! Someone is coming!" The God of Dark Duel shook Nero's body again and pulled him out of his sleep.

"what?"

Chapter 128: I want to duel with you!

"Hey! Look what we found? A carriage parked on the side of the road!"

Nefeli looked at the carriage that appeared in his sight and whistled. "My intuition tells me that there should be a lovely little princess sitting in the carriage. Is there anyone willing to prove my guess?"

"They actually parked right on the side of the road... They're really too naive." Zhu Xiu sighed slightly, then said to Perlivia beside him, "Do you need our help?"

"No need." Purviya walked to the front of the crowd and stretched out her right hand. "Don't interfere. This is our Arisa family's family affair."

"Then we'll wait for you here." Avis said, stopping.

"Can I watch the battle?"

"No."

Purlivia strode towards the carriage. With every step she took, the aura emanating from her body grew colder. When she reached the front of the carriage, the bonfire burning beside the coachman had gone out.

"You... who are you?" The driver looked at Perlivia and was immediately trembling with fear. Although the woman in front of him looked like a teenager, there was no childishness on her face. She even exuded a dangerous aura that made people panic.

Purlivia didn't say anything, but just glanced at the driver with her black eyes, but seemed to notice that the other party was just an ordinary person, so she quickly looked away.

"You should have earned enough money, right? If you have, leave here." said Purva.

She knew her niece's character very well. Although she looked as aloof as herself, she was actually a simple-minded person who had never experienced the world. She must have given a lot of money to the coachman.

"I understand, I understand! I'll go now!" The coachman nodded hurriedly, and then he ran away without even caring about his carriage.

In this way, only Perlivia and...

"Come out, I know you're awake." Purlivia said calmly to the carriage, "Or do you need me to come in and pull you out by the scruff of your neck like a kitten?"

It seemed as if these words had some effect. The carriage began to tremble slightly. Not long after, a petite figure slowly walked out of the carriage and timidly called out to Perlivia, "Auntie...good evening?"

"Do you think I'm in a good mood now?" Purviya said with a forced smile.

Nero shrank his neck, wishing he could hide his entire head inside his clothes so that he couldn't see the scenery in front of him.

But even if Nero couldn't see it, Perlivia wouldn't disappear out of thin air, so he was just deceiving himself.

"I'm sorry." Nero lowered his head and apologized sincerely.

"Do you think I will forgive you just like that?" Purvaiya said expressionlessly. If an apology could solve the problem, then there would be no disputes in this world.

"Here's some candy." Nero thought for a moment, then took out a candy he hadn't eaten yet from his pocket and handed it to Purviya.

Purlivia took the candy from Nero's hand, tore open the candy wrapper, and threw it into her mouth: "Hmm, not bad, do you have any more?"

"That was the last one, there are no more." Nero said with heartache.

"Really?" Purlivia raised her eyebrows, then extended her hand to Nero and said, "For the sake of this candy, I'll deal with you when I get back. Now just follow me and catch the guy. Understand?"

Nero bit her lower lip and subconsciously took a step back, wanting to escape, but the carriage was behind her and there was nowhere to retreat.

"Wow, it seems you haven't given up yet." Perlivia slowly approached Nero and said, "Our Arisa family is a dueling family. You should know what to do, right?"

"Duel..." Nero said solemnly.

"That's right. Since you're a duelist, you should duel to resolve this," Purlivia said gloomily. "Stealing? Escape? Who taught you such a lowly method? Listen carefully! If you want to get what you want, resist oppression, or realize your dreams, then defeat your enemy in a fair duel! Use your strength to prove your will! This is the Arisa family style! This is the way of the king! Do you understand?!"

Purlivia's stature was not huge, and could even be said to be very short, but Nero felt as if she was standing in front of a huge mountain. The overwhelming pressure hit her like a huge wave, making her breathing instinctively quicken.

"I don't quite understand the Arisa family's style and the way of kings." Nero panted, tiny beads of sweat dripping from her smooth cheeks. "But, if a duel can make you accept my actions..."

"Then I want to duel with you!"

Nero raised her head with a serious expression, and the black duel disk slowly emerged on her slender arm like a smooth sword, glowing fluorescently under the moonlight.

"That's right, that's how it should be." Perlivia was not angry but happy. She raised the corners of her mouth lightly, and her long black hair fluttered freely in the evening breeze. "Let me see how much you have grown!"

"duel!"

"duel!"

"drop!"

With a crisp sound, Perlivia gained the right to go first, which made Nero's little hand subconsciously grasp her sleeve. She had seen her aunt's Wyrmprint Chord deck before. If her aunt got the first move, this duel might be...

"I choose the back hand."

Purlivia suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Nero looked at Purlivia blankly, as if he hadn't realized what was happening.

"I said, I choose the second hand." Perlivia said as she drew five cards from the deck. "I don't want to repeat the same thing too many times. Hurry up and draw the cards."

"...I understand." Nero's eyelids drooped, and he stretched out his little hand and slowly drew five cards from the deck.

Choosing the second hand... is that for me? Or did you deliberately use a second hand-focused deck?

The duel had barely begun, and Nero's thoughts were already tangled like the strings of a harp, disturbed by Perlivia's actions. There was nothing he could do. The woman standing before Nero was not only his aunt, but also the current Duel King, a duelist at the pinnacle of the dueling world. Since becoming the Duel King nine years ago, she had never lost a single battle...

Can I really defeat such a powerful opponent?

No, it’s not a question of whether you can win or not, you must win!

Nero's eyes grew firm once more. She glanced at her hand, then inserted a card into the Duel Board and said, "I enter the Main Phase and activate the Continuous Spell Card - Announcement of the Unholy Guide."

"As the effect resolution of this card when activated, the following effects can be applied.

Add 1 "Teach" Ritual Monster or 1 "Teach" Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand. If your opponent controls a monster, you can also add 1 "Teach" card from your Deck to your hand!

Chapter 129: How about calming down and thinking about it carefully?

"I added the White Knight of the Fierce Guide from my deck to my hand."

Although Nero had only obtained the Fierce Guide deck for less than a month, as a qualified duelist, she had already memorized the deck by heart. She had only retrieved one monster, but all the subsequent developments had already appeared in her mind as clearly as a flowchart.

Of course, one of the reasons is that the steps to deploy this deck are not long. After all, the deployment of the Fierce Guide deck is basically the same: search - ritual summon - graveyard search - continue ritual summon... Go back and forth like this, over and over again. In terms of the difficulty of deck operation, it is not that cumbersome.

Next, Nero will proceed to the second step of deploying this deck - ritual summoning.

"I activate the Ritual Spell Card - Blessing of the Guiding Spirit." Nero inserted the Ritual Spell Card in his hand into the Duel Board and said, "Release monsters in your hand and on the field until their Levels equal the Ritual Summoned Monster, or send 1 monster of the same Level as the Ritual Summoned Monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Then, Ritual Summon 1 "Teach" Ritual Monster from your hand."

"I send the Cinder Dragon, Falling Dragon, to the graveyard from the Extra Deck and Ritual Summon—White Knight of the Fierce Guide!"

A dark blue flame suddenly shot up from the ground, forming a mysterious magic circle. Just as the evil white knight was about to walk out of the magic circle, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

"chain."

Purlivia casually tossed a card into the Graveyard and spoke calmly, "I activate the effect of my multiplied G. This card can only be activated by sending it from your hand to the Graveyard. This turn, the following effects apply."

●Each time your opponent successfully Special Summons a monster, you draw 1 card from your deck.

Nero frowned and subconsciously reached out to pull out a card from his hand: "I chain..."

"How about you calm down and think about it? This next move you're about to make isn't exactly a brilliant one."

A cold voice sounded faintly from behind Nero, scaring her so much that her body stiffened. Before she could turn around, a transparent figure appeared in her sight.

"Are you... the ghost just now?" Nero looked at the Dark God of Duel floating in the air and said uncertainly.

"Ghost, phantom... Can you use a better name?" The Dark God of Duel said with a little dissatisfaction. Although she did not force the other party to call her the great Lord Dark God of Duel, it should at least be a proper name, right?

"But you didn't tell me your name." Nero said in a low voice with his eyelids drooped.

"No..." The Dark Duel God subconsciously wanted to blurt out his original name, but soon thought of something and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Nona, just call me Nona."

"Oh..." Nero nodded and wanted to say something, but Purviya, who was standing opposite him, urged him.

"If there's no chain, deal with the effects quickly." Perlivia gently placed her hand on top of her deck and said, "I'm ready to draw cards."

Nero looked at the card he was about to use and shook his head. "I didn't chain it. My G of Multiplication was activated successfully. I dealt with the effect of Mystic Guide's Gospel, and Mystic Guide's White Knight Ritual Summoned successfully."

The evil white knight in silver armor finally walked out of the magic circle. He inserted the long sword in his hand into the ground, and then raised the long shield in his hand high to protect himself - this was the result of Nero's special move to display his defense. After all, if he did not rely on the effect, the evil white knight's attack power was only a pitiful 500 points.

"No chain? Then I'll draw a card." Purva noticed Nero slowly lowering his hand, but didn't say much. She just gently drew a card from the deck.

"That's right, not chaining is the right choice." The Dark Duel God, no, Nona nodded in satisfaction, as if she truly regarded Nero as her own disciple. "Instead of wasting a good card you've finally drawn, why not let your opponent blind draw one? You can just treat that multiplied card as a filter draw like a Gold Goblin. Anyway... with your current hand, you don't really need to Special Summon a second time this turn, right?"

"Well, thank you for your reminder." Nero nodded. If it weren't for Nona's reminder, she would have probably given up. In fact, giving up is not scary. Nero is more afraid of the guilt that giving up brings to her. She is already under a lot of pressure now. If the pressure is increased because of giving up, it will probably further affect her duel state.
