Chapter 1405: Stellarknight

"Eh~ actually hiding in such a place."

A blond man in white walked towards the entrance of the camp with a cold smile on his face.

The resistance leader Brook was the first to rush out, and his face changed drastically when he saw the visitor.

"You... you are Shingo Sawatari!" Brook shouted in surprise, "You are the... from the Xyz Department..."

"Oh? Actually recognize me?"

The Academy Army warrior named Shingo Sawatari sneered.

"Since you know me, then you should also know that you are in big trouble. If you are sensible, don't resist, surrender directly, so that I might allow you to live until the headquarters..."

He thought about it and tilted his head.

"Well, if I'm in a good mood, maybe."

Brook took half a step back and gritted his teeth.

Shingo Sawatari, even in the Academy Army, was a powerhouse with a number. Even if all the remaining power of the resistance army was gathered, no duelist could compete with him.

And such a powerhouse was standing in front of him at this moment.

At this moment, Brook knew that the opponent was right.

They were in big trouble.

"I came here because I heard that the guy named Akaba Leo seems to be here... this old thing is actually still alive?" Shingo Sawatari tilted his head and said, "Akaba Leo, although he is just a useless old man now, Zarc seems to care about him very much. If I turn him into a card and take him back, Lord Zarc should also be very happy..."

He said, licking his lips, revealing a look of expectation.

Brook felt his hands and feet were cold, and even his blood seemed to be cooling down.

He was afraid, he knew he had no chance. But even so, he didn't retreat.

A flash of determination flashed in his eyes. He opened his Duel Disk, stepped forward, and made a determination to die.

He wouldn't retreat, and couldn't retreat. He knew he couldn't win, but even if it was just to buy another minute for others to escape, it would be good.

He knew that every resistance warrior who persisted until now would make such a choice. And because of this, this team could persist until now.

"You take Mr. Akaba and go first, he can't die!" Brook shouted.

Akaba Leo was the founder of this resistance army that exists now. Zarc feared Akaba Leo because Akaba Leo and his daughter Ray had defeated him. So this father and daughter were the beliefs that the resistance army needed, and the reason why they could persist even in such dark days.

Brook was ready to die.

But just as he was about to start this duel of certain death, someone behind him pressed his shoulder.

"No need."

★￠o

Fujiki You Xuan walked forward and smiled at him.

"Leave it to me."

Brook was stunned.

He recognized that this was one of the guys with strange hairstyles brought back by Ray.

Fujiki You Xuan walked forward and looked at Shingo Sawatari: "Academy's? You look quite powerful. I hope you are at least more useful than that guy named Ha Ke, he was too boring."

Sawatari narrowed his eyes.

"So that's it. When I came here, I heard that Ha Ke's life reaction disappeared. I was wondering who did it. After all, although that guy is from the Ritual Department, he is still a department head, actually flipping over in such a small place..."

He looked Fujiki You Xuan up and down.

"Was it you?"

However, he immediately grinned again.

"Well, it doesn't matter if it's you. Let me say it first, I'm not like that trash Ha Ke." He pointed to himself, puffed out his chest and said, "Since you took down Ha Ke, it's enough to prove that your head is worth at least a minimum value. You just take it as my extra harvest today and take it back." He said, also opened his Duel Disk, and made a provocative gesture.

"Whether it's you or that guy Leo, don't even think about leaving today."

"Duel!" x2

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Shingo Sawatari, LP 4000】

"I'll go first."

Fujiki You Xuan's first move.

"Activate the Spell card 'TakeOver5', send the top five cards of my Deck to the Graveyard."

Fujiki You Xuan drew five cards directly and sent them

"Next, I set one monster on the field in face-down Defense Position."

Fujiki You Xuan set a monster on the front field, then drew the remaining three cards in his hand in one go.

"I set three cards and end my turn."

Xingye Zhenwu: "My turn, draw!"

This Academy warrior drew a card, glanced at his hand once, and revealed a cruel smile.

"Although you guys call yourselves the 'Resistance,' I honestly never understood what you have to resist. After all, our levels are fundamentally different. Let me make you realize this fact even more profoundly."

As he spoke, he slammed down a monster from his hand.

"I Normal Summon 'Constellar Pollux'!"

Golden starlight shone, appearing to connect into a constellation background in mid-air. A warrior with feminine features, covered in silver-white armor, descended beneath that constellation.

【Constellar Pollux, ATK 1600】

"Oh, Constellar, huh." Fujiki You Xuan said casually, "No wonder you're so confident."

Well, after all, it was a top-tier deck back in the day, so it's understandable to be a bit arrogant.

"The effect of Pollux: when this card is successfully summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 4 'Constellar' monster from my hand." Zhenwu continued, "Therefore, I Special Summon 'Constellar Algiedi' from my hand!"

Starlight reappeared, connecting into a constellation pattern resembling a centaur. Then, the flat constellation transformed into a centaur clad in silver-white armor, with four hooves on its lower body and a golden bow and arrow drawn in its hands.

【Constellar Algiedi, ATK 1800】

"Next, I activate the effect of 'Constellar Algiedi'!" Zhenwu said, "This card can target one 'Constellar' monster on the field and increase that monster's level by 1, or decrease it by 1.

And this effect can be used up to twice per turn!"

Zhenwu raised his arm and shouted.

"Therefore, I will use this effect twice in a row to increase the levels of 'Constellar Pollux' and 'Constellar Algiedi' by one each!"

The centaur archer raised the bow in his hands above his head, pointing straight at the firmament. He drew the bow and released the arrow. The arrow dragged a long golden streak as it flew into mid-air, split into two, and then plummeted vertically, enveloping Pollux and Algiedi on the field from the left and right respectively.

【Constellar Pollux, LV4 → LV5】

【Constellar Algiedi, LV4 → LV5】

Yuma, watching from behind: "He actually increased both Level 4 monsters to Level 5, this guy..."

"The goal is a Rank 5 Xyz Summon." Astral crossed his arms as usual, "To be able to perform a Rank 5 Xyz on the first turn, this opponent is not simple."

Sure enough, he then heard Zhenwu raise his hand and say: "I overlay the Level 5 'Constellar Pollux' and 'Constellar Algiedi'! Xyz Summon—

—Rank 5, Constellar Pleiades!!!"
