Chapter 231

Asuka was heartbroken, tears streaming down her face. "How could it be... how could it be Fubuki- nii?"

Meanwhile, the others also found their way here through the fluctuations of the key. However, all they could see at this moment was a sad-looking Asuka, and they had no idea what had happened in between.

After taking the unconscious Fubuki Tenjo to the infirmary.

Judai frowned, his expression grave. "It seems that Fubuki- senpai was infused with another soul, so it was that soul that was sealed, and Fubuki- senpai's soul remained after the seal."

"I'm afraid that the matter of Fubuki- senpai's previous disappearance may have uncovered even bigger trouble."

Asuka nodded. "Yes, but no matter what, we've finally found Fubuki- nii. As long as he's alive, he'll definitely wake up, and then he might know the truth."

"Yes..."

Just as Judai was sighing, he suddenly felt a soft touch from behind and found that Asuka had hugged him from behind.

"Asuka?"

Asuka's soft voice came from behind, "Thank you, Judai, just let me hug you for a little while."

"Oh well."

Because of what happened today, their relationship has been officially established.

As their relationship deepened, neither of them noticed that a dark bat was spying on them from a corner outside the window.

A few days later.

A rumor suddenly appeared in the academy at some unknown time.

"Hey, have you heard that rumor?"

"Rumor?"

"It looks like a stunningly beautiful woman is standing in the lake, and she even has sharp teeth on her lips!"

"Hey, is this description some kind of vampire?"

"It's true, a female vampire has appeared."

Inside the bathroom of an unknown castle, a glamorous woman with green hair is lying in the bathtub.

If you look closely, you can see that this woman has sharp teeth at the corners of her mouth; she should be the person in the school rumors.

Then a black bat flew in.

"What a good child. Come, tell me."

The alluring woman, her eyes gleaming crimson, stared at the bat, whose eyes were also crimson. Several images were then imprinted in her mind.

"I see it, everything is under my control, victory is mine."

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Ryo Marufuji. "Found him! My target!"

After choosing her partner, she got up from the bathtub.

Meanwhile, inside the Chancellor's office.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Hayato, looking like Koala, rushed in anxiously. "The enemy has appeared, right on the lake!"

Meanwhile, the students and teachers who possessed the Seven Stars Gate Keys were having a meeting with the Chancellor.

Upon hearing the news, everyone rushed over immediately.

When they arrived at the lake shore, they saw a red carpet spread out on the lake.

Before long, the mist that had been swirling over the lake dissipated with a gust of wind, and a small boat appeared in the middle of the lake.

A noblewoman dressed in a red gown and wearing a gold necklace engraved with the Eye of Ughert walked slowly down the red carpet to the lake shore.

"Welcome to the Crimson Dark Path. I am Camula, the Vampire Lady of the Seven Stars."

Judai: "As expected, it's the second Seven Stars. They've arrived so quickly."

At that moment, Camula looked at Cronos, who was standing in the center of the group, and asked, "Are you my opponent?"

"Exactly, Naonai! What are the rules?"

Camula held a doll in her hand, a flash of disdain crossing her eyes, before saying, "The soul of the loser is sealed within this doll; this is my Dark Duel."

Upon hearing this, Cronos proudly puffed out his chest and declared, "Hmph, what Dark Duel! I, Cronos, will expose this trick, Naonai!"

Thus began a Dark Duel between the two, with Cronos seeking to defeat Camula with his powerful Ancient Gear to prove himself.

However, the ideal was far from reality, and the battle ended in just fifteen minutes.

"Everyone, please look at me carefully, and then promise me Naonai."

"Even if I am defeated by the Dark Duel, darkness cannot prevail over light. With this conviction, my heart will never waver."

Camula asked dismissively, "Is the final lesson over, Professor Cronos?"

"Always ready, for those Naonai!"

So Cronos shouted "Duel of Light!" and then sent it.

The students, seeing Cronos's resolute expression, instantly became his fans, crying and calling him "Professor."

Even Judai couldn't help but sigh, although Cronos had often caused trouble for no reason and might not be likable in some ways, his responsible character towards his students was still worthy of respect.

Ryo Marufuji took over the battle afterward, because Camula's initial target was him, and the latter also needed to vent his anger, so the second duel was Camula versus Kaiser.

Unfortunately, Kaiser also died soon after, because Camula used the Gate of the Phantom Beasts to threaten Kaiser with the life of his younger brother, Sho Marufuji, thus defeating him. Although the victory was dishonorable, he, like Cronos, was sealed in a doll.

So in the end, it still takes the Judai to make a difference.

Chapter Sixty-Six VS Camula

After two failures, Judai and his group returned to the lake and walked along the red carpet toward the castle located in the middle of the lake.

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

"There's no way around it, Judai is already the strongest duelist in the school besides Kaiser 8."

"And they have more experience fighting Dark Duelist than we do."

Asuka explained to everyone, "It's not just that. Before we came, my brother said that we needed Dark Item to fight against Camula's despicable methods, so we could only entrust it to Judai, who also possesses Dark Item."

Judai nodded in agreement. "Just as Asuka said, this battle is definitely mine."

After saying that, he lifted the two pendants hanging around his neck that could be pieced together to form a circle, or more accurately, two fragments that were originally the same Dark Item.

That's right, this is what Fubuki Tenjo gave to Judai after she woke up.

Therefore, with the protection of the props, there's no need to worry about Camula playing tricks.

The group entered the vampire's castle and went up to the second-floor corridor.

Asuka: "Be careful, Judai."

"Yes, of course."

After responding to her, he walked up to the protruding platform on the second-floor corridor, where he stood opposite Camula on the opposite platform.

Camula said, "Kid, you actually dared to come. I'll just give you credit for your courage and turn you into a cute doll!"

Judai wasn't going to waste any more words. "No need for further explanation, I'll take you down. If I win, I'll restore Kaiser and Professor Chronos to their original state."

"Hmph, if I win, then the Seven Stars Gate Keys around your neck will be mine."

After saying that, Camula unfolded the Duel Disk on his left arm.

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yusei Fudo: LP4000]

[Camula: LP4000]

After the duel began, Camula eagerly drew a card from his deck.

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

[Camula cards: 5→6]

After checking her hand, she immediately placed a card on the winged Duel Disk: "First, I summon [Vampire Bat] (anime card) from my hand in Defense Position."

In a flash of light, a swarm of jet-black bats appeared on the field, then quickly merged into a giant bat.

[Vampire Bat: Defense 1200]

[Camula cards: 6→5]

"While this card is on the field, all Zombie monsters on my side gain 200 ATK."

[Vampire Bat: Attack Power 800 → 1000]

"That concludes my turn."

Camula ended his turn decisively.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5→6]

After drawing the cards, Judai drew two cards from his hand and placed them onto the Duel Disk in turn. "I Summon [Elemental HERO Solidman] in Attack Position, and Special Summon [Elemental Hero Sparkman] from my hand using this card's effect."

Buzz--!!

Two golden lights flashed, and Solidman and Sparkman were summoned together.

[Elemental HERO Solidman: Attack Power 1300]

[Elemental Hero Sparkman - Attack Power 1600]

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 6 → 4]

He then launched an attack without hesitation. "Go! Solidman, attack the Vampire Bat!"

At his command, Solidman immediately rushed forward and threw a punch, the crystal on the tip of his silver arm armor colliding with the giant bat.

"Useless, it's the [Vampire Bat]'s special effect!"

Camula removed the deck and continued, "When this card is destroyed, the destruction can be negated by sending a card with the same name from the deck to the graveyard."

As she picked a card with the same name from her deck and placed it in the graveyard, the Vampire Bat instantly disintegrated into a swarm of bats, rendering Solidman's attack power useless.

"Then Sparkman, continue attacking the Vampire Bat! Lightning Strike!"

Sparkman then raised his left hand, releasing a bolt of electricity that shot towards the swarm of bats.

Camula quickly threw another Vampire Bat from his deck into the graveyard, saying, "Use this effect again to negate this destruction."

The swarm of bats immediately scattered, avoiding the bolt of lightning.

After that, the swarm of bats reformed into the shape of giant bats, and Camula then put the deck back.

She smiled calmly and said, "What a pity, kid, all your attacks were useless."

Judai shrugged upon hearing this. "However, the Vampire Bat effect can no longer be used."

"And my turn isn't over yet..."

With that, he opened the arena area on the Duel Disk and placed a card on it.

"Field Spell [Gate of Fusion] activated!"

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 4 → 3]

As the card was activated, a layer of dark clouds appeared in the sky above the castle.

"As long as this card is on the field, both players can perform Fusion Summon by banishing monsters from their hand or the field."

"What?!"

"I'm excluding Solidman and Sparkman from the field..."

As soon as Judai finished speaking, the two heroes flew into the clouds Polymerization into a vortex, releasing a golden light.

"Show yourself, [Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman]!"
