Chapter 368

Kagurazaka's left hand had long been equipped with a Duel Disk, and Yubel was also prepared to control Kagurazaka's body to duel countless students and teachers, making Judai feel pain and torment, so she didn't waste any words at all, controlling Kagurazaka to raise his left hand.

The duel unfolded directly in this silent state, without even shouting "Duel."

Kagurazaka, LP: 4000.

Tenjou Hikari, LP: 4000.

"Hikari!" Judai clutched his stomach, slowly getting up, watching this scene with some anxiety.

That guy who controlled Kagurazaka was not a simple person. Sho and Kenzan were already very excellent, but they lost the duel in just a fleeting moment. Not only that, his own heroes who had crossed countless difficulties and ventured through the Spirit Dimension had no ability to resist at all when facing this existence, being knocked down instantly. Only Neos could withstand the attack.

And this was still in a possessed, controlled state. If it were the main body...

Too dangerous!

It was no wonder Winged Kuriboh was so nervous.

"My turn, draw." Kagurazaka sneered and drew a card.

He glanced at the card in his hand, a look of confidence on his face: "Good, an excellent hand!"

Tenjou Hikari frowned slightly.

Is this [Kagurazaka] right now actually Kagurazaka...

No?

Or rather, is Yubel seemingly controlling Kagurazaka, using his personal ability supplemented with Yubel's own power to duel?

Yubel manipulated Kagurazaka, holding up a card with one hand. Not far away, Judai was wary of Professor Viper, keeping his distance while paying attention to the duel.

What kind of deck would this existence that controlled Kagurazaka use?

Yubel looked at Kagurazaka's hand.

To be honest, she was a bit impatient before.

According to her original plan, after meeting Judai, she definitely had to say some trash talk first, forcing and tormenting Judai's mind. But she hadn't seen Judai for too long, and because of the "Favorite Contact" incident earlier, she was quite irritable. So when Judai came up directly just now, she was somewhat impatient, failing to fully utilize Kagurazaka's imitation ability to let Judai lower his guard first, and then suddenly acting to better torment Judai.

But that was no big deal.

Because the reason she controlled Kagurazaka was for this moment to duel Tenjou Hikari, and then seize the body of Judai's best friend, Tenjou Hikari, making Judai sink even deeper into pain and love.

She sneered and drew a card from her hand: "Continuous Spell Card, Brilliant Fusion."

Brilliant Fusion!!

Judai's eyes widened.

It was Tenjou's exclusive fusion spell card, the Gem-Knight fusion spell card—

How is this possible? Besides Tenjou, how could anyone else have it!?

Where did this spirit get it??

The answer is...

It was Kagurazaka's own.

Tenjou Hikari's brows were locked tight.

In fact, it wasn't just Brilliant Fusion; Kagurazaka even had the Equip Spell version of Future Fusion. Because he really admired Tenjou Hikari, and indeed had some special talents, and most importantly—he was quite wealthy, so Kagurazaka had collected a large number of rare cards.

Even cards like Ancient Gear Golem, which Tenjou Hikari had managed to get only one of at the time, Kagurazaka had three of. He was a genuine member of the wealthy class.

Special talent and family background, as well as his admiration and imitation of Tenjou Hikari, led Kagurazaka to collect a large number of Tenjou Hikari-related cards. Since he was already very good at imitating duels, he wouldn't feel like he was bricking when using them, so it was very normal to have these cards.

As early as the first time Tenjou Hikari met Kagurazaka, the two had already had an almost mirror-image duel.

On the other side, Yubel was extremely good at exerting the talents of the possessed. Let alone Kagurazaka; in the original work, Yubel possessed Johan and could even play a mixed deck of Crystal Beasts, Sacred Beasts, and Yubel.

Although Tenjou Hikari didn't expect Yubel to control Kagurazaka's body, at least Tenjou Hikari could anticipate that she should be able to easily use Kagurazaka's deck.

"The effect of Brilliant Fusion: use fusion materials from your deck to perform a Fusion Summon, with the Gem-Knight monster's ATK and DEF becoming 0." Yubel picked up Kagurazaka's deck, searched through the cards in his deck, and a sneer hung on her face.

"The fusion conditions are Gem-Knight Sapphire and a Gem-Knight monster."

"I fuse Gem-Knight Sapphire from the deck and Gem-Knight Emerald from the deck."

"Appear, Gem-Knight Aquamarine!"

The familiar Gem-Knight appeared on Yubel's field, but compared to the righteous knight of Tenjou Hikari, this Aquamarine had visible black smoke that seemed substantial, making one feel intimidated at the sight.

"This—" Bai Jing saw this scene and was speechless, almost opening his mouth to rebuke angrily, but because he was worried about affecting Tenjou Hikari in the duel, he hurriedly stopped his voice.

Gem-Knight Aquamarine, Level 6, Earth Attribute, Aqua-Type, DEF 0.

"Why is it Aquamarine—" Judai blurted out a question.

Not far away, Winged Kuriboh folded its half-wings and flew back slowly. Judai hurriedly greeted it with heartache.

It also saw this scene and instinctively issued the same question—why is it Aquamarine!?

It sounded a bit strange and eerie. After all, although "Kagurazaka" used a Gem-Knight card often used by Tenjou Hikari, in the world of duelists, using similar or even identical cards was not a rare thing to see.

Except for cards like Crystal Beasts or Destiny HEROes, which were unique in the world, the vast majority of cards actually had multiple copies, so it was no big deal.

But—

For Tenjou Hikari and Kagurazaka, [Aquamarine] was special.

"Looks like you still remember, Department Head." Yubel used Kagurazaka's body and voice to say some things, "This card was the key card with which you won during our first duel. Didn't expect you to still remember."

Tenjou Hikari remained silent, his face expressionless, his thoughts unreadable.

"I worked very hard before to learn your [Fusion], to learn your ultimate fusion, filling my deck with fusion cards. Now, seeing your beloved monster appear on the enemy's field, do you feel the changes in the world—"

"Stop talking nonsense here using Kagurazaka's face and voice. I know you are not him." Tenjou Hikari said calmly.

"Heh..." Although exposed, Yubel didn't mind at all.

She didn't expect to be able to deceive Tenjou Hikari, a guy who could instantly distinguish that the person next to him was a spirit with the naked eye on the first day of Darkness's invasion.

Moreover, this was also part of her conceived plan.

"You know I'm not him, that's great." Yubel suddenly changed the subject, "This guy, even before he completely fell into a dream, was thinking about helping you, hahaha—"

Tenjou Hikari's expression became a bit gloomy.

Seeing Tenjou Hikari's expression finally change slightly, Yubel felt a sense of gratification.

Previously, when she saw Tenjou Hikari and Judai Yuki use some "Favorite Contact" in a tag duel to fuse that damn Shining Flare Wingman and Neos, Yubel's hatred for Tenjou Hikari reached its peak. Now, she was absolutely going to make Tenjou Hikari feel pain and torment.

It was also just right to let Judai see how Tenjou Hikari was tormented in her duel.

"Tenjou Hikari, you failed the trust your classmates had in you—"

"Nonsense! Hikari has always been diligent, he has already done enough and done well enough!" Judai retorted.

Yubel sneered: "Enough? Well enough? Really—you don't know yet, Judai. That day, that huge serpentine otherworld god circling this island was this person's [Partner].

If Tenjou Hikari really did enough, then he should have tried his best to maintain the existence of that purgatory fire, reducing the possibility of your classmates being attacked by spirits, right?"

A ferocious smile appeared on Kagurazaka's face, poking his own face with his finger: "Hahaha, this guy, even at the end, was still longing to help you, but didn't expect that you never used your full strength, right?"

This?

Judai looked at Tenjou Hikari.

As for whether he used his full strength, to be honest... even he might not have really risked everything.

But he immediately dismissed his own thoughts.

He would not doubt Tenjou Hikari.

Because they were true best friends.

Yubel watched Tenjou Hikari's changing expression, controlling Kagurazaka's body. On Kagurazaka's forehead, a distance above the bridge of the nose, in that forehead, a "crack" slowly opened. Subsequently, a single eye began to twist and flicker eerily, observing Tenjou Hikari.

The power of darkness, the power of light, manifested on Yubel's body. Her eyes could see through people's hearts and could see the darkness in people's hearts.

As long as she could detect Tenjou Hikari's weakness, she could strike at the weakness, then directly resurrect on his body, take advantage of the situation to seize his body, and live happily with Judai—

However, this eye shone on Tenjou Hikari, but after a wave, there was no influence at all.

Tsk—

This level of mental torture was far from enough.

"Set three cards, end turn."

Three cards?

Tenjou Hikari narrowed his eyes sharply.

Compared to Yubel's weird trash talk, with these three set cards down, Tenjou Hikari was the one who really had some emotional fluctuations.

"My turn, draw."

Tenjou Hikari drew a card and scanned his hand.

The effect of Gem-Knight Aquamarine is that if it is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can target 1 card on the opponent's field and return that card to the hand.

As a departure disruption, Tenjou Hikari quite liked this effect when he had no defensive means before. After all, there weren't many first-turn boards, so he would use whatever he could.

But as time passed, this effect was far from that powerful.

After all, its effect trigger condition was just being sent from the field to the Graveyard, not even "if this card is sent to the Graveyard" or "if this card leaves the field." Because of this, Tenjou Hikari actually had many other choices.

First, the simplest method, naturally, was "banishing."

"Normal Summon, Predaplant Sundew Kingii."

The lizard made of green leaves opened its flower crown and jumped onto Tenjou Hikari's field.

Predaplant Sundew Kingii, Level 2, Dark Attribute, Plant-Type, ATK 600.

"Predaplant Sundew Kingii can fuse monsters on your field and in your hand with itself during the Main Phase." Seeing this monster, Yubel quickly judged what Tenjou Hikari wanted to do, "Using Sundew Kingii's effect to fuse into Predaplant Chimerafflesia, right?

Predaplant Chimerafflesia can directly banish monsters on the opponent's field with a lower level than itself, and Aquamarine's effect is an effect that can only be activated if it is sent to the Graveyard. Once banished, it is useless.

Heh—[He] has seen this scene countless times."

Tenjou Hikari frowned, not caring about Yubel's words, and activated Sundew Kingii's effect: "Sundew Kingii's effect, during your Main Phase, perform a Dark-Attribute fusion with cards in your hand/field.

I fuse Fluffal Chain in my hand and Predaplant Sundew Kingii on the field—"

"Descend, Predaplant Chimerafflesia!"

Tenjou Hikari's super flower crown began to grow wildly in this destroyed forest, and before long, it swept through the entire forest.

Predaplant Chimerafflesia, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Plant-Type, ATK 2500.

"Fluffal Chain's effect: if it is sent from the hand/field to the Graveyard, you can add one Frightfur card from your deck to your hand." Tenjou Hikari started to chain.

"Chimerafflesia has the ability to directly banish low-level monsters on the opponent's field, increase ATK, and even search for [Fusion] spell cards after being sent to the Graveyard. It is one of the monsters symbolizing fusion." Yubel said casually, "[I] have also always wanted to obtain such fusion, such power, Department Head—

However, that monster has a fatal weakness!

Just like Gem-Knight Aquamarine, it has a flaw, and that is, if it is banished, it also has no effect!"

?

"Open set card, Bottomless Trap Hole! When a monster(s) with 1500 or more ATK is Summoned/Special Summoned/Flip Summoned, destroy those monsters and banish them!"

Judai's brows were locked tight.

Indeed, Chimerafflesia does have quite excellent abilities, but if it is banished, everything will be in vain.

And...

Bottomless Trap Hole was also a card used by Kagurazaka when he dueled Hikari before.

Thinking of this, he felt a bit dazed, let his mind wander for a while, and hurriedly shook his head.

It's okay—Hikari is fine!

Tenjou Hikari obviously thought of this too, and he quickly played his second hand card: "Quick-Play Spell Card, Fusion Recovery, target 1 Fusion Monster on the field. That monster returns to the Extra Deck, and if the set of fusion materials used for that monster are gathered in the Graveyard, you can directly Special Summon that set of monsters to your field!"

A pit appeared below the flower, but the moment it was about to swallow the flower, the flower instantly disintegrated, turning into a chain demon and a small green leaf lizard.

"Then, process Fluffal Chain's effect, I add Frightfur Patchwork to my hand, and activate it." Tenjou Hikari didn't pause at all, "Add Polymerization from the deck and the second Fluffal Chain from the deck to my hand."

"Beautiful! This not only dodged the trap but also got a new fusion, and even Polymerization can be recovered later, drawing an extra card!" Judai couldn't help but feel a bit excited seeing this scene.

Sure enough, Hikari is really amazing! No need to worry about Hikari at all!

"Amazing, really amazing, Department Head." Yubel clapped, not feeling embarrassed at all because her tactics were dodged. On the contrary, she looked very relaxed, "It's like you were already prepared to eat my trap, then dodge the trap, and then re-fuse."

"That's for sure." I don't know when, but Manjoume also followed the sound and came over. Hearing Yubel's voice, he snorted coldly, "Tenjou's fusion is the ultimate fusion, the absolute fusion. No one can stop him from performing fusion."

Subsequently, he stood by Judai's side, carefully blocking Professor Viper for him, and whispered to Judai to try to see if he could wake up Sho and Kenzan.

"Absolute fusion, complete fusion, ultimate fusion... ah, it's really enviable." Yubel hung a smile on her face, "But why, what I see is [Absolutely-not-remaining fusion], [Completely-swallowing fusion], and [Ultimate-self fusion]."

"What nonsense!" Manjoume was suddenly furious.

With just one sentence, Yubel made Manjoume furious.

The reason was simple: this sentence almost denied the "underlying logic" of Tenjou Hikari and even the entire Fusion Department family!

He angrily rebuked Yubel: "No matter what flowery words or conspiracies you used, hurry up and get out of Kagurazaka's body, you evil spirit!"

"Flowery words, conspiracies? Heh, don't get it wrong."

"It was this person who took the initiative to find me."

On Kagurazaka's face, a ferocious and crazy smile appeared. His teeth were almost all exposed, the white teeth becoming like shark teeth, and the crazy smile revealed a trace of distortion and eeriness, as if the whole person had turned into a demon.

"It is precisely because of your inaction, your indulgence, your disregard, that this human had to find a way to call for power, find a way to summon powerful spirits, find a way to help you incompetent guys!"

"It is because of your incompetence, your inaction, that you cannot protect this school, so he found a way to save himself!"

"The one who is wrong is not him, it's you! Your incompetence! How can you deserve to call yourselves protectors, how can you deserve to call yourselves [Heroes]!"

Manjoume was unable to refute Yubel's powerful mental pressure and words. Judai, when he heard "deserve to call yourselves heroes," his face turned ashen instantly.

If...

If Kagurazaka was really like what this spirit said, then the fault was with them, no, with him—

"Don't change the concept! The one who stole Kagurazaka's body is you!" Tenjou Hikari, when the two couldn't speak, refuted without any hesitation, "What self-choice, self-summoning, do you think we are all idiots?

Even if he summoned you, even if he wanted to gain power to summon demons, the one who truly stole his body is you!

Where is the core problem, do you think I can't think of it?

Don't whitewash yourself, demon! I won't fall for your tricks!"

Can't even affect his mentality like this?

Yubel's third eye examined Tenjou Hikari from all directions, and she couldn't help but feel a bit incredulous.

Is the evidence insufficient?

She couldn't help but reveal a cruel and excited smile.

Then... continue!
