Chapter 85

Since there was still plenty of time, and one could experience all kinds of scenery in the spirit world that one could never experience normally, Tenjou Hikari and the others didn't need to consider it at all.

Whether it's a volcano or a rainforest, just go to both!

The difference is nothing more than whether to go to the volcano first or the rainforest first.

Misawa and Serena had no extra opinions, so Tenjou Hikari decided to go to the volcanic region first.

After all, in the rainforest area, you might encounter some Amazons or something, and by then Misawa might linger there and not leave. Since that's the case, it's better to be prepared and look at the volcano first.

Leaving the forest zone, the whole world instantly changed color like different maps in a fighting game. It was lush and green before, but in the blink of an eye, looking out from the train, the earth was dyed crimson.

Some spirits burning with flames would stop and pause, observing the train passing by, curiously looking at the humans, and some would even excitedly jump high and turn around on the spot, looking very fresh about the appearance of humans.

Tenjou Hikari tugged at his collar slightly.

He was actually not very afraid of heat.

As a duelist who was once dragged into a volcano by Darkness to duel, he had truly experienced the temperature of a volcano. This temperature wouldn't make Tenjou Hikari too uncomfortable, but the sudden change in temperature was indeed easy to make people irritable, even Tenjou Hikari couldn't change this habit.

"Oh, I thought it was what, it turned out to be this volcano." Tierra sat sideways on the train table, gently crossing her legs, resting her chin on her hand with her elbow on her leg, looking out of the car sideways.

"Does Sister Midrash know?" Serena asked curiously.

As Tenjou Hikari's disciple, she naturally knew that the spirit Midrash had an "extraordinary" status here with Tenjou Hikari. In normal duels, as a spirit, she could actually influence the thoughts of Tenjou Hikari, a duelist, change Tenjou Hikari's tactics, and even occasionally let Midrash duel directly.

This was almost impossible for any other duelist.

No matter how good the relationship with the spirit is, dueling is a duelist's business.

But here with Tenjou Hikari, Midrash had this "status."

Misawa Daichi didn't say anything.

In fact, it was Tenjou Hikari and Midrash's way of getting along that made him, who should have given up, think from time to time of that spirit who snatched the Sacred Beast seal key as one of the "Seven Stars."

"Of course I know~" Hearing that it was Serena asking, she said generously.

She clicked her tongue in wonder and felt a bit nostalgic: "It's the Jurrac volcano, but when I came back to life, this volcano had already extinguished, and the dinosaurs had long since died out. I haven't seen mine, though."

She stretched out the hand she was resting her face on slightly: "When Tenjou Hikari dueled that dinosaur human last time, I felt that monster was very familiar, and after recalling it, I remembered."

Although it was an unimportant carbon-based life form, no matter what, it was once a member of the DT planet. As a god, she still remembered it.

Of course, the point is the terrain.

Compared to those dinosaurs, the terrain was clearer in her memory.

"I see, is this a fragment of the Jurrac spirit world... hmm..." Although Tenjou Hikari remembered the Field Magic card Jurrac Volcano, there was no way he could know what a volcano looked like. Hearing Tierra's words, he nodded slightly.

If that's the case.

Then the plan to find the DT spirit world can be taken back.

After all, this is a lost part of the "DT spirit world."

Almost at the same time Tenjou Hikari thought of this, Tierra straightened her body slightly, reached her left hand toward the train window, and her left hand went directly through the glass, touching the outside air.

Along with her movements, blue flames rose in her hand, and then, in the flames, three pitch-black test tubes slowly emerged.

Along with the three test tubes igniting flames, a silver-white demon composed of machinery emerged outside, and then was loaded with these three pipes.

Hum—

The lifeless demon's eyes lit up with crimson light, and then it moved its limbs, broke away from the blue flames, and flew out of Tierra's palm.

Immediately after, it was expansion, expansion!

A demon that was only the size of a palm turned into a terrifying demon that was four or five meters huge in an instant!

Just by gently vibrating its wings, one could feel the bone-chilling "heat."

Tenjou Hikari watched this scene and didn't stop Tierra.

"What monster is that?" Misawa asked curiously.

"Lucifugus." Tenjou Hikari mentioned its name casually.

"It's a monster with the exact same style as the small demon before." Serena still remembered the Satan that Tierra had summoned before. Although the two monsters looked similar, she could clearly feel the difference. "Strange, I've never seen Master use it..."

"I'm not worthy yet." Tenjou Hikari bluffed. "She wouldn't just hand over all her power to me so easily."

"Actually, there is hidden power..." Misawa Daichi looked at Tierra. "Even though she is already a card that can lock Special Summons, there is still hidden power."

Although the attack power was not high, Midrash left a great mark in Misawa Daichi's heart.

As long as she is on the field, both sides can only perform one Special Summon. At first glance, it doesn't seem like much in this world, but as long as you match it with some auxiliary cards, such as Book of Moon, it is basically equivalent to a Special Summon limit.

More importantly, even if Midrash herself is destroyed, she can still recover Shaddoll-related magic cards and continue to perform Fusion.

Perfectly fits Tenjou Hikari's Fusion thinking.

But—that spirit actually still has hidden, never-used power?

He couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

On the other side, Tenjou Hikari knew what Tierra was doing.

Having successively obtained the three components of "Satan," "Beelzebub," and "Lucifugus," Tierra had recovered considerable power.

Although, for her personally, this was still "a drop in the bucket," she was already able to do many things that ordinary spirits couldn't even imagine.

In the past, the Infernoid demons summoned by Tierra could only move around her, but now, she could send lower-level soldiers to explore everywhere.

And after confirming that this zone was actually related to "DT," Tierra thought that since Tenjou Hikari also wanted to search, she would just send soldiers to collect data.

After spending some time on the train, it was evening when they arrived at the station. Tenjou Hikari and the three rested in the Kaiba Corporation station for a day, and then the next day, as agreed, they rushed to the Twelve-Star Duelist area of the "Volcanic Zone."

Unlike the forest area, the Twelve-Star Duelists here were not spirits, but "examiners who met the requirements" hired by Kaiba Corporation.

There were many human shops and billboards around the venue, most of which did not have advertisements hung on them, and even the electronic billboards were blank.

And the duelist's hall was a dueling arena that looked like a large museum.

As soon as the three walked into the dueling arena, they heard a spiritless shout: "Jurrac Tyrannus direct attack—"

"Waaaah—"

Then, Tenjou Hikari and the three saw a student in blue clothes fall backward and land on the ground.

"Kid, no matter how diligent you are, you can't change your terrible dueling. Not passed, come back next time."

A young man with a hunched back and a sickly look walked out from the inside with his hands in his pockets, and just happened to see Tenjou Hikari and the three: "Ah, you guys are here."

It's Dinosaur Ryuzaki!
