Chapter 607: I run fast

Yubel.

Although it only had one eye, the moment Fujiki You Xuan saw it, he confirmed its identity.

"Oh, oh, it also only has one eye!"

Eye popped out, looking very excited.

"What a coincidence, nice to meet you!"

But Yubel's eye glanced at it, seemingly not finding anything special about it, and quickly lost interest.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean!" Eye instantly revealed an angry expression. "We're all eyes, why look down on me?"

But Fujiki You Xuan and Yubel both tacitly ignored it.

Fujiki You Xuan quickly checked the other party. Sure enough, as expected, it wasn't the main body, just a brief conversation through the residual power left inside Cobra.

Fujiki You Xuan stood with one hand on his hip and laughed. "What? Why not come and talk to me face-to-face? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I won't eat you."

Yubel laughed out loud.

"Hehe, you really are an interesting child."

Following that, she restrained her laughter and said softly.

"Don't worry, I will, sooner or later." Yubel said. "I've been watching you for a long time. You're very interesting; you're already on my list."

"It's just not now, not yet."

"Oh?" Fujiki You Xuan asked. "Since you already have that intention, what are you waiting for? Why don't you come over now and let's have a good chat about life."

"Hahaha, very witty, but I'll pass. I can tell you're different; you possess power that many others don't. Even I have to be a bit cautious."

Yubel smiled.

"As you can see, my current state isn't very good. But don't be impatient, I will come to find you, very soon. After all..."

When she said this, the gaze of that eye suddenly became sharp, and her tone turned a few degrees colder.

"... you took away my most important thing."

Fujiki You Xuan: "?"

Huh?

He frowned slightly.

Wait, we should be meeting for the first time, right?

What did I take from you?

But Yubel had no intention of continuing this topic, only changing the subject.

"However, thank you for your gift." She glanced at Cobra, who was lying on the ground, dead or alive, and said indifferently, "Although you broke my toy, which is quite annoying, and I will indeed come to settle the score with you for this later."

"But, what I didn't expect was that during the duel, you made the darkness in this guy's heart swell more than twofold. Hehe, I had quite a satisfying meal."

Clearly, there was only one eye, yet she eerily made a sound as if a tongue were licking lips.

Fujiki You Xuan was also very magnanimous. "You're welcome."

Yubel was startled, and then that eye narrowed slightly.

Because she suddenly had a strange illusion.

This guy... could it be that he deliberately incited the darkness in Cobra's heart during the duel to help herself accelerate her resurrection?

No, impossible. She and he were complete strangers; what reason would he have to help her?

A brief silence, Yubel's eye sized up Fujiki You Xuan for a moment.

"Your heart also hides unimaginably vast darkness. Well, this is also normal; the more powerful the duelist, the more powerful the hidden darkness in their heart."

Yubel said, chuckling twice more.

"I can't wait to have a good taste of it. What does the darkness in the heart of the so-called King taste like..."

"Good." Fujiki You Xuan nodded generously. "Then I will save that inner darkness and treat you to a good feast when the time comes."

Yubel was choked up instantly.

It caught her off guard.

Ah, is he being that polite?

Should she say thank you now?

Yubel pondered stiffly for two seconds.

Then she hummed. "Then see you when the time comes."

After speaking, that eye disintegrated, turning into a cloud of black mist and disappearing.

"Really cunning, actually not in Cobra's laboratory."

Fujiki You Xuan said as if talking to himself.

"Really knows how to cause trouble for people."

Eye blinked twice behind him and asked, "That... was the real mastermind, right?"

"Mm." Fujiki You Xuan said.

Eye glanced at Cobra, who was unconscious on the ground.

"Then this one was just being used?"

"You could say that."

"So now we can only wait for her to rest, recuperate, and prepare before she comes to find us?" Eye asked.

"That's not necessarily true."

Fujiki You Xuan shook his head.

"She is currently in a fragmented state and should be following Cobra most of the time. Judging from the resurrection state she just displayed, with her current ability level, she shouldn't be able to leave Cobra too far."

Additionally, what Fujiki You Xuan didn't say was that Cobra originally planned for all students to wear wristwatch devices to absorb the students' duel energy to resurrect Yubel. With the technology Cobra used, Yubel, who needed to absorb duel energy, shouldn't be able to be too far away.

And now Yubel has at most the energy level of one arm being able to materialize; the only way she wants to move long distances is by attaching to a host. Now, in all likelihood, she is still hiding somewhere on this island.

Like Yubel in the anime, she didn't resurrect to a full state until Cobra was defeated by Yugi and the entire academy was transported to another dimension. At that time, she chose to possess a first-year Slifer Red student.

The freshman in the Yellow dormitory, Marcel Bonaparte, was the only son of Duel Academy's Vice Principal Bonaparte. But Marcel experienced a broken family in his childhood, his parents divorced, and he lived with his mother ever since. Although he appeared introverted and didn't easily reveal his true thoughts to others, he had actually been brewing resentment toward his parents in his heart for many years.

This resentment created darkness in his heart, and Yubel took advantage of the situation to control him as her host before her full resurrection.

Fujiki You Xuan even guessed that Yubel should have been in the glass container in Cobra's laboratory, just like in the anime.

However, perhaps she sensed Fujiki You Xuan's approach, or maybe it was just a sixth sense that there was danger, so she moved away from Cobra in advance.

Now she is probably still hiding near this abandoned experimental facility, somewhere on this island.

Fujiki You Xuan looked around at the dense forest.

Well, although that's the guess, finding a spirit with extraordinary power on such a large island really feels much harder than finding a human intruder.

"Leave it to us, Boss."

At this time, Mina of the Dark Scorpion appeared, stepping forward to volunteer.

The other Dark Scorpions behind her also appeared one after another, scrambling to strike the Dark Scorpion assembly pose.

"No evil can escape the eyes of the Dark Scorpion Thieves!"

"Don't worry, Boss, we won't let any intruder who enters our territory off!"

Fujiki You Xuan thought for a moment.

Indeed, he didn't have many spirits on hand that could maintain materialization in reality for a long time and work independently away from him for long periods. Silent usually served as his personal bodyguard, and they seemed to be the most suitable for this kind of reconnaissance work.

"Alright, you guys be careful yourselves." Fujiki You Xuan nodded. "Just find the trail of the other party, try not to confront them head-on. You are not her match."

Zorg muttered something under his breath. It seemed he felt that although what the Boss said was the truth, it was still very hurtful.

Zeke, on the other hand, patted his chest. "Don't worry, Boss, I'm confident in my ability to run away!"

After all, he was "Zeke the Swift Runner."

However, as soon as these words came out, they immediately drew a wave of contempt from his teammates.

Is this something to be proud of?
