Chapter 521: Melo's Whereabouts

Clap clap clap clap—

In the dark night, in the wild jungle, a series of crisp clapping sounds rang out.

Judai, who had just finished a pleasant duel, put away his Duel Disk and looked in the direction of the sound, seeing his good brothers Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan and Jonouchi appearing from the woods and walking toward him. Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan gave him enthusiastic applause for his performance just now.

"Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan, Jonouchi-senpai?" Judai was surprised. "You're here."

"Just got back." Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan said.

Jonouchi: "Took Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan's private jet, he gave me a ride..."

At this point, he couldn't help but show an envious and jealous expression.

"Kuso (Damn it)! Stingy Kaiba, he's still targeting me after ten years. He won't even change my new Duel Disk, but he gives others a private jet..."

Judai smiled and patted his shoulder: "Well, don't mind it, after all, Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan and Kaiba-shacho have an unusual relationship."

"Is that so?"

Jonouchi showed a suspicious expression.

"How special is it?"

"I don't know either." Judai scratched his head. "I only heard that they seem to have a very good relationship. Many of Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan's cards seem to have come from KaibaCorp..."

"Nani?"

Jonouchi's eyes widened when he heard this, and thinking of his experience of being targeted by Kaiba all his life, he couldn't help but turn to look at Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan.

"Rumors." Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan acted innocent. "I haven't seen the shacho many times, we aren't actually close."

Jonouchi looked suspiciously at the latest Duel Disk on his hand that wasn't officially listed by KaibaCorp.

"Then this?"

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan nodded: "Yeah, given by KaibaCorp."

"Rare card?"

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan also nodded: "Indeed."

"Your jet?"

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan tilted his head and thought.

"Kaiba's."

Hard to deny.

Jonouchi almost couldn't help but want to throw his Duel Disk: "So you mean, you and Kaiba aren't close, and he gave you these just because he likes the look of you?"

"I know this is hard to be convincing..." Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan thought about it. "If I have to say, I'm very close to his brother."

"Mokuba, huh... Compared to his smelly-tempered brother, he is indeed a cute child."

Jonouchi fell into a nostalgic color.

Back then, although Jonouchi and the others didn't get along with Kaiba, they had a good relationship with Mokuba. After all, they were friends who had shared adversity, and Mokuba wasn't as arrogant and awkward as his brother, actually quite willing to get along with Yugi and the others.

However, thinking about it, Jonouchi probably hadn't seen Mokuba for many years, and the Mokuba in his memory should still be an elementary school student. Otherwise, calling the current Mokuba a "cute child" would seem a bit discordant.

"That was a good duel just now, a beautiful duel." Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan smiled at Judai. "You've also been getting stronger, Judai."

"Don't mention it."

Judai was proud and grinned at Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan.

"If there's a chance, we'll have a rematch, I might not lose again now."

"I'm waiting. But not now, we have more important things to deal with. Let's save this round for later."

"Alright!" As the two spoke, they reached out and bumped fists, quite tacitly.

Jonouchi was touched by the scene, and couldn't help but recall his best friend back then, when they had an indestructible bond, closely connected by unbreakable friendship. It's just that everyone had gone their separate ways now, and it was hard to gather again.

But come to think of it...

You guys call this getting stronger?

Jonouchi also saw Judai's duel just now. Although he also felt Judai was very strong, he just had a feeling of having something to say but couldn't.

He always felt that when he first met this Osiris Red boy, his dueling didn't seem to be like this... or rather, it was just a trend back then, not so obvious.

At least Judai back then didn't seem to have the strategy of "giving the opponent a big treasure and then taking it away with a Bladedge Hammer" that made blood pressure soar.

Could this also be related to him being one with the Supreme King now?

Hmm, this is very reasonable. The Supreme King is known as the king who dominates darkness and has unfathomable dark power. Fusing with such an existence, it's reasonable for the duel to become a bit darker.

Of course, this thought wasn't heard by the Supreme King, otherwise this king of the twelve dimensions would definitely express his grievance.

Don't, don't, don't, I'm just a small king in charge of twelve dimensions, how can my darkness coefficient compare to half of these two?

Looking at Teruhashi Zetsu, who was lying on the ground and delirious, Jonouchi couldn't help but think that this person would definitely not agree that this was a beautiful duel.

Jonouchi thought.

Come to think of it, he felt a bit like this before, Yugi's duel also had this flavor... of course, he didn't mean Atem, but his best friend, Mutou Yugi.

Maybe this is the correct way to open a strong person's duel.

Should I try to develop a new posture if I have the chance in the future...

But before his thoughts could drift further, Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan pulled him back.

"Jonouchi-san, you said you got important information?"

"Ah? Oh, yes."

Jonouchi withdrew his thoughts and said seriously.

"Pegasus-shacho has been taken down."

"Pegasus? That Pegasus?" Judai showed surprise.

"I'm afraid so." Jonouchi nodded. "I've helped him get rid of the control... at least temporarily. But he said that while he was being manipulated, he had designed a very dangerous sword-fighting card, which is in the hands of that guy named Melo."

He paused and looked at the guy who had fallen to the ground and lost consciousness.

"This one was also sent by them. They called the power you just gained part of the 'Darkness of the Universe', I think it's very likely the Supreme King."

"Are they wary of the Supreme King's power?" Judai said.

"As a camp of the Light of Destruction, the power you hold is indeed easy to make them nervous." Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan said. "Perhaps because of this, they accelerated the progress of the attack."

"Then we can't let these people be arrogant anymore."

Jonouchi clenched his fists.

"We're going to counterattack! Find that guy named Melo directly and decide the winner with a duel!"

"I think he might have the same idea now." Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan said. "He manipulated Pegasus, likely not just for one card. Pegasus is the father of modern Duel Monsters, the best designer in the world. He has designed monsters like the Egyptian Gods and the Wicked Gods, and only he can control the most powerful power and materialize it with cards. Melo wants to borrow his power to further improve his deck, likely also including the cutting-edge equipment, top-secret research materials, research resources of Industrial Illusions, and..."

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan stopped suddenly when he said this.

"What?"

Judai and Jonouchi looked at him together.

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan's thoughts turned rapidly, and then he raised his eyebrows.

"I feel like... maybe I guessed where Melo is now."

Fujiki You Xuan's thoughts raced, and then he raised an eyebrow.

"I feel like... I might have guessed where Melo is right now."
