Chapter 196

The photo above shows a handsome man with dark hair, arms crossed, looking very confident.

In the bottom right corner, there is a string of English letters, which appears to be the name of the person in the photo.

"FUBUKI,10, JOIN!"

"Ten JOIN... Tenjo-in!"

Judai abruptly turned to look at the girl beside him, who nodded and confirmed, "You guessed right, he is my brother, Fubuki Tenjo."

After receiving confirmation, Judai observed for a while longer before shifting his gaze away from the top.

"It seems there are no more clues here, and there's no trace of Dark Power here either."

Upon hearing Judai's words, Asuka looked puzzled. "Dark Power? Isn't that related to the Dark Yami? Have you ever been in contact with Dark Power?"

Judai nodded slightly. "Yes, I've been in contact with Duel Spirit since I was a child, and I've witnessed this kind of power before."

Moreover, after his awakening, he mastered the Dark Power without any instruction.

Therefore, his ability to resolve the issues with the old dormitory was not without basis.

Asuka was shocked to realize that Judai could actually help her; he was the first person who could genuinely help her, and her affection for Judai immediately increased.

"Then thank you for your help, Judai."

She no longer intended to stop Judai's willfulness.

Judai smiled. "No need to thank me. After all, I'm also a little curious about what happened here."

After saying that, he stopped talking.

He looked around the hall again but still found nothing, so he prepared to search elsewhere.

However, at that moment, Judai suddenly sensed the presence of a third person.

"Who--?!"

Judai quickly moved the light in the direction of the noise.

The girl beside him was startled by Judai's reaction and quickly looked over.

A tall figure flashed by and fled down to the lower level.

"Stop--!!"

Judai quickly grabbed Asuka's hand and pulled her to chase after them.

The girl whose hand was being held did not object to Judai's actions and ran over with him.

"Gone? That guy's fast!"

When I got to the bottom floor, all I saw was furniture covered with white sheets; I didn't see a single person.

"Judai, look over there!"

Following the direction Asuka pointed, Judai saw a rectangular tunnel.

Judai frowned, puzzled, and asked, "How could there be a tunnel hidden in the old dormitory? That's strange."

"Judai, do you think the other side of the tunnel might be related to the student's disappearance?"

After a moment's thought, Judai replied, "Very likely, and that person may very well have escaped into the tunnel."

So he took Asuka's hand again and led her into the tunnel.

Before long, the two finally passed through the exit and arrived at the other end of the tunnel.

"There's a huge cave hidden here?!"

Asuka stared in astonishment at the scene before her.

Judai exclaimed excitedly, "We found her, Asuka!"

"I can sense that this place is filled with Dark Power, and it looks a bit like an altar."

"What?!"

Asuka was stunned by Judai's words.

Just as she was about to ask what was going on, Judai reached out and stopped her.

"Before that... hey! The guy hiding there should show himself by now!"

Judai stared intently at the smoke rising from the altar.

"Welcome, Yusei Fudo."

A tall figure in a black trench coat emerged from the cloud of smoke.

Who are you?

As soon as Judai asked the question, the man raised his head, revealing a metal mask on his face.

The man introduced himself in a deep voice, "My name is Tony Titan, the Dark Duelist."

Upon hearing this, Asuka couldn't help but step forward and anxiously asked, "Dark Duelist?! Are all the people who disappeared here your doing?"

"Hmph~."

Titan did not give a direct answer because he knew nothing about it either.

However, his appearance convinced Asuka that he was the one who did it.

So she shouted angrily, "Give me back my brother!"

Since Titan had no reason to cause trouble, he simply went along with her, pretending to be serious, and said, "If Yusei Fudo can beat me in the Dark Yami..."

"Huh?! You've got your eye on me?"

Judai looked surprised.

Then it dawned on him, "So you lured me here just now to use me as one of the sacrifices to complete some kind of ritual? Looks like I have no choice but to duel you?"

"That's right..."

Titan remained silent for a moment. Although he didn't know what the other person was imagining, he just needed to continue acting in accordance with Judai's guess.

"Then there's nothing we can do..."

With that, Judai raised his left hand, which had been set up with the Duel Disk, and placed a deck on it.

Seeing this, Asuka hurriedly said, "Wait, Judai, this duel should be fought by me..."

Just as she was about to suggest that she go first, Judai immediately interrupted her, "No, you haven't mastered the Dark Power, it would be too dangerous for you to face Dark Duelist!"

"I..."

Judai shook his head. "Don't be reckless. Besides, protecting girls is what heroes do."

Seeing his serious expression, Asuka stopped insisting. "Well... okay, I understand. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Okay, leave it to me!"

So the Judai went up to the altar and faced the Titan head-on.

Without further hesitation, the two unfolded their Duel Disk together.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yusei Fudo: LP4000]

[Tony Titan: LP4000]

Chapter Fourteen: Demon Deck

"I'll go first, draw a card!"

A card pops out from the deck set on Titan's chest.

[Tony Titan's Hand Cards: 5→6]

After glancing at his hand, he placed a card onto the Duel Disk, "I summon [Shadow Knight Demon] in Attack Position."

Buzz--!!

A flash of light appeared, and a demon clad in bone armor, its right arm claw replaced by a short sword, appeared on the field.

[Shadow Knight Demon: Attack Power 2000]

[Tony Titan's Hand Cards: 6 → 5]

Upon seeing the monster before him, Judai raised an eyebrow. "It's Demon Deck. Interesting."

The main Demon Deck isn't very strong, and it uses old-fashioned Demon monsters.

Asuka analyzed, "The Demon Deck is indeed a powerful deck, with relatively high base attack power. However, in order to maintain the number of monsters on the field, you have to pay life points as a price during the Standby Phase."

Upon hearing this, Titan's lips curled into a slight smile. "Hmph~, you tell me the price?"

"With this card, we don't need that kind of thing."

Upon hearing this description, Judai knew what it was. "[Pandemon Palace - the lair of demons -]...?"

"Hehe, you're right, Yusei Fudo!"

Titan sneered and casually tossed a card into the opening in the Duel Disk.

"Field Spell [Pandemon Palace - Lair of Demons-] activated!"

[Tony Titan's Hand Cards: 5 → 4]

As the Duel Disk emitted a blinding light, a sinister and terrifying demon cave rose from the ground, its surrounding dark red environment creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

After setting up the field, he continued, "Because of this card, monsters with '[Demon]' in their names don't have to pay life points during the Standby Phase."

"When a monster is destroyed by means other than battle, you can add one [Fiend] monster from your Deck with a Level lower than the destroying monster to your hand."

He then revealed his third card.

"I activate the Spell Card [Foolish Burial] from my hand, and send one monster from my Deck to the Graveyard."

"I've chosen [The Queen Demise]."

After dropping one monster card into the Graveyard, insert another card into the Duel Disk.

"Set one card face down, end the turn."

[Tony Titan's Hand Cards: 4 → 2]

After Titan decisively ended his turn, Judai immediately drew a card.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5→6]

After he drew his card, he immediately drew three cards from his hand and revealed them.

"Activate the Spell Card [Polymerization], Polymerization [Elemental HERO Avian] and [Elemental HERO Burst Lady] from your hand."

The figures of Winged HERO and Burst Lady appeared on the field together, then transformed into two energies that merged into one.

"Summon [Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a green-skinned hero with a single wing on his back and a red dragon head attached to his right arm descended onto the field.

[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman: Attack Power 2100]

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 6 → 3]

Then Judai swung his hand and shouted, "Go! Flame Wingman, attack that monster!"

At his command, the dragon head on the Flame Wingman's right arm was thrust out, and a stream of flame shot out from its mouth.

Boom--!!

The moment the flames struck the knight demon, a violent explosion occurred, reducing the demon to ashes.

At the same moment, Judai continued shouting, "At this instant, the special effects of Flame Wingman activate!"

"Dealts damage to the opponent equal to the original attack power of the destroyed monster, totaling 2100 points."

"Ugh..."

[Tony Titan: LP4000→1900]
