Chapter 582

The first turn was taken by Tenjou Hikari, who was waiting for work.

Tenjou Hikari had actually been waiting here for a long time.

In fact, before someone asked Vice Principal Bonaparte what to do about "food," Tenjou Hikari thought of this kind of similar thing.

As a "person who has been here," what "Battle of Guandu," what "Fire Burning the Granary," Tenjou Hikari had more or less some impressions. Moreover, before he saw Professor Viper, he was thinking about the dangers he might encounter in the future, so last night, he had already discussed with Professor Cronus and carried out "food transfer."

The reason was also simple, to prevent any spirits from suddenly attacking their "granary," and then they wouldn't even be able to afford rice.

Professor Cronus also accepted advice widely. Not to mention that Tenjou Hikari's relationship with him was already extremely close, even if an ordinary student made such a suggestion, he would have to ponder it carefully.

Because spirits can be materialized on the current Duel Academy island, the speed of transfer was very fast. Professor Kabayama is also arranging and counting in Warehouse No. 2.

Tenjou Hikari was still waiting here today, mainly to wait for the rabbit. If there were really people with this kind of idea, he could also face them for the first time.

Although it was transferred, it was always good to improve safety a little bit.

And now...

"Activate the Continuous Spell Card, Flame Sword Domain!"

Flames gradually spread around Tenjou Hikari, driving the white cold air away from Tenjou Hikari's surroundings.

"Flame Swordsman..."

Chazz and Aster found a relatively far position, looked at the scene, and exchanged in a low voice.

"It seems that the Department Head attaches great importance to this duel." Aster said in a low voice.

"After all, it is a matter related to everyone's safety." Chazz nodded, "I haven't seen Tenjou use Flame Swordsman at the start for a long time."

Rather than the start, it should be said that Chazz hadn't seen Flame Swordsman appear for a long time.

"The effect of Flame Sword Dance, once per turn, send a monster from the hand to the Graveyard to activate. Fusion Summon a Flame Swordsman from the Extra Deck."

Tenjou Hikari held up a card in his hand, silently sent it to the Graveyard, and then, the dragon of flames rose and burned, turning into a long sword.

"I send the Flying Dragon Flame Salamander in my hand to the Graveyard, Fusion Summon, Flame Swordsman!"

Flame Swordsman waved his long sword, jumped lightly, and jumped in front of Tenjou Hikari.

"After the Fusion Summon is successful, activate the effect of Flying Dragon Flame Salamander in the Graveyard. This card can only be activated when it is sent to the Graveyard. Add 1 【Flying Dragon Flame】 Spell/Trap card from the deck to the hand."

In front of Tenjou Hikari, several cards burning with flames flew out. Tenjou Hikari glanced at them and took one out from among them.

"I add the Equip Spell Card, Flying Dragon Flame Fusion to my hand!"

"Next... activate!"

Tenjou Hikari immediately played the spell card in his hand: "Equip Spell Card, Flying Dragon Flame Fusion! This card can only be equipped to a FIRE Warrior-Type monster. The equipped monster's ATK increases by 700—"

Flame Swordsman inserted his long sword into the ground, and then, raised his right hand, a wide flame giant sword slowly burned in his hand.

"When Flying Dragon Flame Fusion is equipped to a Fusion Monster on the field, its fusion effect can be activated! Send the equipped monster and this card to the Graveyard, Fusion Summon 1 【Flame Swordsman】 or a Fusion Monster that has that card name written on it...!"

Bang!

Fierce flames rose like flame pillars in front of the warehouse door, and endless flames descended. The armor and weapons of Flame Swordsman showed a brand-new posture in the flames. Before long, the previously thin swordsman had turned into a burly warrior at this time!

"My most trusted partner—"

"Fusion Summon!

My partner, my friend, my symbol!"

"Level 8, Ultimate Flame Swordsman!"

Ultimate Flame Swordsman, Level 8, FIRE, Warrior-Type, ATK 2800.

"Ultimate Flame Swordsman!"

"Summoned right at the start?"

Both spectators were a bit surprised.

Ultimate Flame has powerful effects and offensive ability, and is generally used for finishing. As a result, it was summoned at the start this time!

"The Department Head is still getting stronger!" Aster had to praise.

He originally thought that he had walked out of the predicament and should be someone who was easier to get stronger, but he didn't expect that Tenjou Hikari, who had already "reached the peak" among his peers, could still continue to move forward on the road of fusion.

Chazz on the side also felt quite emotional after listening.

Indeed, if it were someone without much room for progress, continuing to grow wouldn't surprise many people, but Tenjou Hikari was already the top student, and he could still strive to pursue fusion when there was no one in front of him. This is not a simple thing.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that classmates respect and admire Tenjou Hikari so much.

"Amazing, summoning your trump card so easily..." Seraf saw Tenjou Hikari summon Ultimate Flame and nodded repeatedly, "Speaking of dueling alone, I'm afraid I don't have anything I can teach you, Professor. After all, the direction of involvement is different."

Tenjou Hikari heard this, raised his eyebrows slightly, and opened his Graveyard: "In the Graveyard, the effect of Flying Dragon Flame Salamander. This card exists in the hand/Graveyard. It can be equipped to 1 Warrior-Type monster on my field as an Equip Spell Card."

In the Graveyard, a fire dragon spun its body and flew to the side of Ultimate Flame, circling around it.

"Salamander equipped to 【Flame Swordsman】 or a monster with Flame Swordsman card name written on it can increase that monster's ATK by 700."

Ultimate Flame Swordsman, ATK: 2800→3500.

"ATK 3500, has already exceeded the Blue-Eyes White Dragon of the master."

Aster also nodded.

Although for the duelists of today, 3000 is actually a value that cannot be reached, whether it is him or Chazz, they can achieve an ATK exceeding 3000, but "3000" is still a watershed for monster ATK. Summoning a Fusion Monster with 3500 ATK so easily and easily, even they find it difficult to do.

Tenjou Hikari looked at the card in his hand, pondered for a while, took out one from it: "Cover one card, end the turn."

"I heard that Ultimate Flame Swordsman has the ability to destroy a monster in the opponent's turn when equipped." Professor Seraf was not in a hurry to draw a card, "And besides that, you also covered a Trap Card.

Tenjou, although I have only taught you a few times, I know you very well. All your covered cards are never for surviving this turn, but for victory, for fusion. So, that covered card might also be a card that restricts me, for example, Flying Dragon Flame with chains?"

Tenjou Hikari frowned: "Professor, do you still have a lot to say to me?"

"Of course—" Seraf spread his hands, "Although you said you wanted to make this lesson my last lesson, after all, I am also a professor at the Duel Academy, and I still hope you can learn something, Tenjou."

Tenjou Hikari was a bit surprised.

He didn't expect that the tone was "kill all humans," but Seraf was not so crazy when dueling.

"Then Professor, why did you say those things—" Chazz questioned on the side.

"Those things? Which things... oh, humans are too ugly?" Seraf listened and shook his head, "The answer is very simple, Chazz, because this is an established fact."

"Wh—"

"The ugliness of humans, shouldn't you have seen it? Declan Akaba, D, aren't you all familiar with them?"

"You actually know D!?" Aster on the side pursued, "Do you know him?"

Seraf shook his head: "No, I don't know them. I'm just giving you examples. You are... Aster Phoenix, right? First-year student? Why weren't you working hard before?"

Aster didn't answer the question.

"I heard from Professor Cronus that he was attacked by a Fallen Angel user before. That person was from Declan Akaba's army and wanted to release the Sacred Beasts... Professor Seraf, are you that kind too?" Chazz took a deep breath and thought of another possibility.

"Obaro? I know he did attack Acting Principal Cronus... However, I am completely different from him." Seraf raised his left hand, "He pursued power and received the blessing of the Fallen Angel, thus becoming an apostle of the angel.

And I am different... I received 【Revelation】."

Revelation?

The three of Tenjou Hikari looked like you were crazy.

"Heh, don't doubt it, it is indeed Revelation. Like the legendary Saint Joan of Arc, I received the inspiration of 【Angel】 and the inspiration of God... Seraf touched his chin, closed his eyes, and said his memories in a low voice, "As you can see, this thing is a genuine halo."

Several people were shocked.

Real thing?

"Before I became a teacher at the Duel Academy, I was a priest in a remote town." Seraf touched his chin, closed his eyes, and said his memories in a low voice, "I have had different abilities from ordinary people since I was a child. I could see spirits when I was a child, and later I received the blessing of angels and could drive angels. In the town, I listened to the teachings of the priest and followed the commandments and morality.

I think, since I was born, I might have been born to help God and spread His compassion."

"Could it be that something bad happened?" Aster had a sympathetic association, "Could it be that the town was destroyed and the villagers were killed?"

"Ha, what are you talking about? If that were the case, wouldn't I have gone to hunt down the criminal long ago? I wouldn't have the heart to teach."

Aster was speechless for a while.

"One day, I taught a child." He seemed to be deeply immersed in memories, and he wouldn't stop until he finished, "That child stole someone else's things. I discovered it, advised him to return the things, and instructed him not to steal again.

However, not long after, I found that he stole again."

"Just like this, once, twice, three times... As a priest, I persevered in hoping to guide him to the right path. If he stole food, I gave him food; if he stole clothes, I gave him clothes. However, one day, I saw the truth."

The kindness on his face gradually dissipated and gradually became serious: "I always thought that he would steal because of 【sin】, because of 【bad habits】, because of 【education】, until I found that all his actions were not for himself, but because he had a sick mother and a weak younger brother, and the reason why their family was like this was because the land that once belonged to them was confiscated by the church for some reason."

He looked at his hands: "I investigated the reasons behind it. It was actually a company that wanted to develop some cross-dimensional project, and then took a fancy to that piece of land, and the local church made money for it, causing multiple human disasters, eventually causing tragedy."

"This..." Chazz and the two looked at each other.

It sounds like faith collapsed?

"I really couldn't accept this kind of thing, and no matter how I couldn't find the answer from books and daily behavior or dogmas, I couldn't accept the fact that the things I gave that child might have belonged to him in the first place. My compassion might have been malicious in the first place, so that child was so hostile to me and so disobedient to me."

He gradually went crazy, grabbed his hands, and said viciously: "But it doesn't matter, I am a person with Revelation, I am a person who has been blessed, I have had the protection of angels since I was a child. If humans and books cannot give me answers, then I will ask... God!"

He looked at Tenjou Hikari, and Tenjou Hikari also understood the "cause" of everything about this professor.

"You should have understood, from that day on, I started to study 【Ritual Art】, study the taboo Demon Ritual for the church, try to summon demons, summon angels, and then, that day, I truly contacted... 【God】."

"Darkness?" Tenjou Hikari asked tentatively.

"Darkness." The professor replied calmly.

"However, isn't that so-called Darkness just an evil god!?" Chazz questioned loudly on the side. He had heard about Darkness from Tenjou Hikari, so he knew very well that for humans, Darkness, this so-called incarnation of 【human final extinction】, was an evil god!

"Too stupid, Chazz."

!?

Chazz was stunned on the spot.

Actually said he was stupid?

He is also one of the best in the whole school in terms of agility of thinking—

"For humans, that existence is indeed an evil god, but the point is not whether He is an evil god or whether He is a good god. Those are not important at all." Seraf said calmly, "I should have talked about it in class, right?

For Demon Ritual Art, whether the summoned spirit is the spirit you want is not the most important thing. More importantly, can you learn more in that ritual.

Even if the ritual fails in the end and spirit power is lost, it doesn't matter. If you can become more proficient in rituals or learn new duel techniques under the contact with that spirit, then everything is worth it."

Seraf drew a card from the deck and started his turn: "For me, whether Darkness is the answer I pursue is not important. What is important is the conversation with Him, I finally figured it out.

If the time of the world is pulled to infinity, one day, the era of human nobility and justice I look forward to will come, but as long as there is nobility, there will definitely be a moral deficiency at the lowest point, and to make up for this, it takes infinite time to wait, wait for the improvement of human knowledge and morality, and improve to the era when all mankind becomes absolutely noble and righteous people.

On this path of human evolution, one day, humans will have a slight mistake, and they will perish because they can no longer progress, or the universe cannot carry humans, or all things return to silence...

That is, the 【death】 that will come sooner or later, that is... Darkness.

Unless, one day, humans can cross this final death!"

The blood-colored halo on his head began to emit light: "Since so, I just need to do what I want to do! Whether it's right or not is not important at all!"

This!?

Chazz looked unbelievable.

He never expected that Seraf at this moment was not holding any "nobility," "glory," or "morality," but simply wanted to do so, simply wanted to summon the power of Darkness to this island!

This was different from all the possibilities he thought of before!

A crazy look appeared on Seraf's face: "Whether I won and killed everyone, or you, Tenjou Hikari, won and took away the blessing I received, it doesn't matter!

Doing it and then waiting for the result is the most important thing—this is my Demon Ritual!"

"Chazz... your studies are too poor." Seraf criticized Chazz severely, "I will definitely draw a zero on your semester report card.

And now, Tenjou, worthy of being the only person I felt in class who has performed 【Demon Ritual】... That Midrash, shouldn't it be Midrash, right? I can feel it, feel the power that doesn't belong to this world, doesn't belong to spirits, and exceeds the mortal world.

I am... an expert."

Tenjou Hikari raised his eyebrows slightly, and then responded with emotion: "So that's it... That's right, Professor, she is my partner, the Source of Destruction, Tierra. She is... a god from outside the world that I accidentally contacted during an accidental transmutation."

Aster and Chazz looked at this scene in surprise. For them, this was also the first time they knew about it.

No wonder Tenjou Hikari never called that spirit "Midrash," but called her Tierra. It turned out it really wasn't!?

Tierra on the side also rarely looked at Seraf a few times.

A madman, but a madman who is truly seeking the way. She doesn't find this kind of human boring.

"Sure enough... our meeting here is also the decision of the 【Lord】."

Seraf laughed: "Me who opened the door of darkness and you who are prepared to prevent everything from happening..."

"It seems that this duel will be very beneficial.

Your 【waiting】 is over, let's start our duel about the fate of all mankind!"
