Chapter 1208

Facing Astral's question, Guardian Maha closed his eyes gently, and only after a moment did he open his mouth to answer: "Correct."

He opened his eyes again and said slowly: "Regarding that legend, there is actually a follow-up."

Maha continued: "The knights were moved by the friendship between the hero and the Master Tianma who sacrificed their lives, realized the shame of their actions, and gave up the idea of rebellion.

Afterward, they gave the hero and the Master Tianma a grand burial and knelt before the tombstone for a long time, repenting for their stupidity.

The hero and the Master Tianma fulfilled their wishes, and their souls ascended to heaven. But the country returned to peace and tranquility. This is the whole of that legend."

But he actually hadn't finished speaking. The hero whose soul ascended should have gone to a higher-level Astral world, but in the end, he fell into Chaos due to the intervention of evil forces.

"Yuma, Astral, I saw the power of trust in this Duel of yours," Maha said, "Believing in companions, protecting companions, and then never giving up, this gave you the power to call for miracles.

I will try to entrust this power of yours."

After speaking, Guardian Maha's body completely dissipated. Countless light spots gathered and turned into the form of a card. Yuma subconsciously reached out his hand, and the card automatically floated into his hand, stopping steadily in his palm.

Yuma looked down at the card.

Number 44: Sky Master Tianma. It was precisely the Number that had fought fiercely with them just now.

Seeing that things were done here, Fujiki You Xuan also walked up and patted Yuma on the shoulder: "Congratulations, looks like it was a success."

"Ah, Fujiki You Xuan," Yuma turned back, "Are you okay? What about the pursuer you mentioned just now?"

Fujiki You Xuan gestured behind him. Yuma leaned out to look, only then seeing the unconscious Barian carried on Zick's shoulder at the door.

Yuma was shocked: "That... this is..."

"A Barian, his name is Dumon, I guess that's about it," Fujiki You Xuan said.

Astral, who was on the side, also had a strange expression when looking at Fujiki You Xuan.

This didn't look like just any random Barian. Astral could feel that although he was in a coma, this person also possessed quite powerful energy.

Astral knew that these Barian powerhouses were not easy to deal with, and even he and Yuma wouldn't dare to say how much certainty they had of winning. And this Fujiki You Xuan could actually capture one alive; he was truly unfathomable.

Fujiki You Xuan thought for a while and added: "By the way, incidentally, these ruins seem to be his too."

Yuma x Astral: "Nani!?"

The duo was both shocked this time.

These ruins belong to this Barian?

But the legend just now clearly said that the owner of the ruins was a noble knight, and it was very certain that he should have been a human before...

Astral was the first to react: "The reincarnation of that knight, became a Barian?"

Astral seemed to have instinctively smelled the scent of a conspiracy.

"Something like that," Fujiki You Xuan beckoned Zick to follow, "Let's go, let's go back to the Emperor's Key and talk in detail."

Dumon didn't know how long he had been in a coma.

He couldn't even remember what happened for a while, only feeling that he had slept very soundly, until he woke up slowly at this moment.

Before he could open his eyes, he heard people talking. They seemed to be talking about Master Tianma, Numbers, ruins, and the like, and he actually seemed to hear his own name.

The voice of one of them was quite familiar. That voice sounded lazy, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, but for some reason, he felt angry whenever he heard this voice...

Dumon: "!"

Opening his eyes to see the interior of the Emperor's Key spaceship, and seeing Fujiki You Xuan, Yuma, and Astral, a thunderous sound exploded in his brain, and he finally remembered the fact that he had been captured.

Dumon jumped up with a start and shouted: "You bastard..."

But just as the curse came out, he was surprised to find that he was completely unharmed. He was neither hurt nor restrained, as if the opponent didn't care about him at all, throwing him aside casually, not at all like the attitude one should have towards a prisoner.

"Oh, you're awake!"

Yuma even seemed a bit excited when he saw him wake up, turning around and picking up his Duel Disk.

"It's good that you're awake, let's Duel!" Dumon: "?"

What's the situation?

He was clearly the loser and should have lost. But why, even though he lost, was he seemingly fine, and this Yuma Tsukumo wanted to have another round with him?

Why?

He couldn't figure it out.

Yuma looked at Fujiki You Xuan: "Just need to win against him using Master Tianma, right?"

"Yes," Fujiki You Xuan nodded, watching with interest from the side, holding a paper cup and drinking a beverage, his expression calm.

This was a secret he knew from the anime.

The seven Numbers buried in the seven ruins each corresponded to the life of the Seven Barian Emperors before they were bewitched by Don Thousand. As long as one used the corresponding Number in a Duel, one could awaken the tampered memories of the corresponding Emperor, making him remember his past life, remember how his life was manipulated by Don Thousand, and how he was cursed to fall into Chaos.

This was the simplest and most direct way to turn the Seven Emperors.

"Good! You wait, I will definitely save you, Dumon!" Yuma said firmly.

Dumon: "?"

Who are you? Are we very familiar?

No, before that, why do I need you to save me? From whose hands? That big devil behind you who is sitting with his legs crossed and drinking a beverage?

"I don't understand what kind of inexplicable things you're saying... but I'm ready for a Duel anytime!"

"Duel!" x2

【Yuma, LP4000】

【Dumon, LP4000】

Fujiki You Xuan waved his hand lazily while watching the show from behind: "Good luck, Yuma."

"Oh! Absolutely no problem!" Yuma was full of confidence.

Thus the Duel unfolded.

But the opening rhythm was still the familiar rhythm of the leader being suppressed—Yuma basically had to be suppressed a bit in every Duel, highlighting that he wouldn't play unless he was at low health.

Utopia accompanied Yuma in being beaten continuously, while Dumon on the opposite side advanced triumphantly. The opponent quickly summoned his trump card "Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry" and launched a fierce attack on Yuma and Astral.

Utopia's effect was negated by Sentry, and its ATK was halved, Yuma was retreating steadily and fell into a rhythm of surviving. Dumon attacked fiercely all the way, taking advantage of the situation to evolve into "CNumber 102: Star Seraph Noble Demon," further expanding his advantage.

"... Set one card, turn end."

Dumon sneered in his heart.

The rumored Yuma Tsukumo and the messenger of the Astral world were nothing more than this, much worse than the big devil just now. At this rate, he should be able to win easily.

Wait until the next turn...

"My turn, draw!" Yuma said, "I summon 'Gagaga Knight'!"

【Gagaga Knight, ATK 1600】

"'Shadow Lizard' in my hand can be Special Summoned when a Level 4 monster is successfully summoned, so I Special Summon 'Shadow Lizard'!"

【Shadow Lizard, ATK 1100】

Astral: "The equation for victory is complete, we're going to win, Yuma!"

"Good!"

Yuma was full of fighting spirit, seemingly not depressed at all because of the disparity in the situation and LP.

"I overlay Level 4 'Gagaga Knight' and 'Shadow Lizard'! I construct an Overlay Network with two monsters, Xyz Summon—

—Number 44: Sky Master Tianma!!!"

Dumon: "!!!"
