Yu-Gi-Oh, the tenth generation of card-playing simulator!

"Haha, have you completely given up struggling?"

Looking at the [Mechanical Ultimate Titan] on his field with an attack power of 8800 points, Camilla laughed wildly:

"If you do this, I'd rather not make you into a puppet."

"Huh, what are you thinking about? I haven't finished my steps yet."

Chrollos opened Gefu's second card:

"Activate the Trap Card [Gravity Release]. Due to this card's effect, all face-up monsters on the field change their forms."

At this moment, all standing Duel Monsters had to change to a half-crouching posture.

"Damn it, how could this happen!"

Camilla, who was just dreaming, seemed to have his fate strangled by the throat, but all the monsters were already in defensive position. Even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

"Face a card and end this turn."

After glaring at the opponent fiercely, Camilla ended the round just like that.

“In the closing phase, the side effects of the lifting of restrictions hit.”

As Chrollos finished speaking, the [Ultimate Mechanical Titan], which had been in overload mode, finally couldn't withstand the pressure and shattered on the field.

"Unfortunately... the [Ancient Mechanical Giant] was excluded."

After muttering something regretfully, Chrollos declared the start of his turn:

"My turn, draw a card!"

After taking a quick look at the card he had just drawn, Chrollos immediately used it:

"Liberate the [Vampire Familiar] on the field and summon the [Ancient Mechanical Engineer]."

An ancient soldier holding a mechanical electric drill appeared on the scene.

"Let's go straight into the battle phase. Target locked on, [Vampire Red Baron] in defense position!"

At Chrollo's command, the ancient soldiers aimed at their opponents and charged forward.

"Think beautifully!"

A monster card was sent to the duel field by Camilla:

"Activate the effect of [Vampire Princess], Special Summon this card when a monster declares an attack, then pay 300 Life Points to increase [Red Baron]'s Attack and Defense by ."

With the support of the Vampire Daughter, the defense of the [Red Baron] immediately became equal to that of the [Mechanical Engineer].

"None~"

Seeing that the attack was fruitless, Chrollos could only retreat to the next best option:

"[Mechanical Engineer]'s special effect: At the end of the damage step, destroy the face-down card on your field."

After completing this step, Chrollos declared helplessly:

"That's how I end my turn."

"Looks like it's my turn again."

After adding the top card of the deck to the hand, the bat on the shoulder flies into the duel arena:

"Normal Summon [Vampire's Familiar]."

With the arrival of the two-headed bat, Camilla's expression became increasingly frantic:

"I still have to pay 1000 basic points!"

Camilla lp1100->100

"This time, the control of the [Mechanical Engineer] and the [Familiar] is exchanged."

After controlling another mechanical monster, Camilla held his chin with trembling hands and said in surprise:

"It's exactly 4,000 points."

Camilla laughed crazily while looking directly at Chrollos:

"Now, it is your turn to taste this pain! Listen to the waltz of death!

[Red Baron], free our [familiar]!"

Chrollos LP: 4000->2100

"Ah! It hurts!"

As the attack display of the [Vampire Familiar] was destroyed, Chrolloth felt the pain of the dark duel for the first time:

"Is this the kind of harm my students have always endured..."

“I haven’t played yet!”

Camilla screamed:

"[Vampire Daughter], attack directly!"

Chrollos LP: 2100->1500

Chrollos: "...!"

After another muffled groan, Kuroros realized his ultimate fate and at this final moment, turned his head to look in the direction of Judai and the others:

"Everyone, please watch this duel carefully, and then promise me..."

Chrollos said weakly:

"...Even if you are defeated by the Dark Duel, darkness will never prevail over light... Please firmly believe this, and never waver in your heart... Please... You must promise me!"

Chapter 137: The Tenth Generation's Choice

"Professor Chronos..."

Looking at the determined man on the duel field, the students seemed to have just rediscovered their understanding of this professor.

"Teacher..."

Judai subconsciously clenched his fists, while Camilla on the other side also restrained his expression and announced loudly:

"So the last lesson is over, Mr. Chrollos?"

"I'm at your service anytime!"

For the first time, Chrollo's face, which looked like a pot of greed, no longer looked so funny. Instead, it looked extremely serious and earnest.

"Hehehe~~~ If that's the case, the waltz to death will begin!"

Camilla gracefully raised her arm and commanded the [Mechanical Engineer] under her control to attack:

"Go, [Ancient Mechanical Engineer], and turn your master into food for the vampires!"

The mechanical engineer's drill was forced to start. Under this gust of wind-like attack, Kuroros's health points dropped to zero in an instant, and his body curled up in pain.

"Teacher Chronos!"

Hearing everyone's shouts, Chrollos turned his head with all his might, and in his final moments, he managed a forced smile.

"Remember, a dark duel can defeat a duelist's body, but it can never defeat our hearts of gold.

The real duel I long for... should be... the duel of light!"

After saying these final goodbyes, Chrolloth fell to the ground, completely losing consciousness.

Camilla, who had won the duel, clenched his right hand into a fist, placed it on his chest, and declared his victory:

“The End!”

Under everyone's serious and angry gazes, she slowly walked up to Chrollos, took off his key, and took out the puppet she had prepared before the duel began, placing it on his head.

"As per our previous agreement, I will accept your soul!"

The purple soul flame flowed wildly between the two, and soon Chrollo's face appeared above the puppet.

"Damn it... Professor... He's actually been turned into a puppet!"

Even though they had anticipated this, after actually witnessing this scene, everyone still couldn't hide their anger.

"Come to think of it...this isn't what I want!"

Looking at the Q-version doll with Kuroroth's facial features in her hand, Camilla showed a look of disgust, and then threw the doll in her hand to the ground casually as if throwing away a bag of garbage.

"You guy!"

Seeing Camilla's actions, Judai could no longer hide his anger and was about to rush out of the crowd.

But Marufuji Ryo on the side stretched out his arm to block his way, and shook his head slightly at Judai who was full of doubts.

"Oh, my next opponent is you?"

Seeing Marufuji Ryo's actions, Camilla couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, showing a look of great interest:

"Then I'm really looking forward to the next battle."

Her long green hair fluttered in the wind, and the shadow of a magnificent ancient castle suddenly appeared behind Camilla.

"That is...?"

"A castle!"

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the fog under the waning moon gradually dissipated, and a desolate and dilapidated castle appeared before everyone.

"Soon, beautiful invitations will be delivered to you all. Before that, plan your last moments well!"

Under everyone's shocked gaze, Camilla's body turned into a gray-white whirlwind and disappeared before everyone's eyes, leaving only Professor Chronos, who was abandoned aside and turned into a puppet, as a trace of his presence.

Judai picked up the doll representing Professor Chrollos from the ground, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes:

"Camilla...she actually left like that."

"Let's go back first, everyone"

Misawa glanced at Caesar, then at Judai, asking for everyone's opinions.

"Ah."

After nodding slightly, Judai put away the puppet and accompanied everyone back to the Duel Academy headquarters from the secluded lake.

...

"Damn it! You've made the professor look like this!"

After arriving at the academy's infirmary and reuniting with Asuka, who was caring for Tenjouin Fubuki, Judai clenched his fists as he stared at the doll in his hand that resembled Chrollos.

"How can we restore Professor Chrollos to his original form?"

"Perhaps... the only way is to win the Dark Duel."

The Daitokuji teacher who was stroking the Pharaoh's head had a look of fear on his face:

"But if I keep losing, I'll become a miniature doll like Chronos. I don't want that!"

As these words fell, Daitokuji, intentionally or unintentionally, squeezed Pharaoh's head. The painful Pharaoh struggled desperately in his arms, then jumped out of his arms and crawled under the bed. Daitokuji quickly followed him in and then announced in a frightened tone:

"If that mother-in-law sends out invitations again, please tell the teacher that I'm sick and can't go!"

"Daitoku-ji Temple..."

Seeing this scene, Wanzhangmu immediately covered his face.

Misawa said with emotion:

"I originally thought... the Dark Duel was just a rumor... I never thought it would actually happen..."

"A battle where life and soul are at stake. This is the Dark Duel."

Asuka sat beside Tenjouin Fubuki's bed, silently watching over her unconscious brother. A serious expression appeared on her beautiful face.

"So, we must win the next duel."
