Chapter 335

Misawa picked up the instrument and checked the time, then suddenly realized, "Ah, relative time! Yes, that must be it!"

So he started calculating again, but he didn't notice that there was a rocky mountain behind him. So engrossed in the four arithmetic operations, he inadvertently leaned against the mountain wall.

The mountainside seemed to have been hollowed out; the fragile wall suddenly collapsed, Misawa accidentally tumbled down it.

"Ughh..."

The others rushed over upon hearing Misawa's screams.

"Misawa!?"

Are you alright?

"What happened?"

However, there was no response from below.

Jim stepped forward to take a look and quickly concluded, "The geology here is very fragile. There should be a large area of caves below. Misawa must have fallen underground."

"We need to hurry down and rescue them!"

Just as Judai was about to go down alone, Asuka grabbed his hand, "I'm going too."

Seeing her uneasy expression, Judai patted her hand, then looked at O'Brien and Jim, "Everyone, let's go down together, no objections?"

"No problem."

OK!

"Hold on tight, Asuka!" Judai picked the girl up in his arms, and she naturally wrapped her arms around Judai neck.

Jim whistled upon seeing this, then hugged Karen tightly in his arms. (Doesn't something seem off?)

Ignoring them, O'Brien jumped into the hole first.

Judai followed closely behind, carrying Asuka, and only then did Jim arrive. In this way, the group was suddenly transported from the surface to the underground.

A moment later, Judai protected Asuka and landed steadily.

The group arrived underground one after another, and then opened their eyes to survey their surroundings.

O'Brien nodded. "Just as Jim said, there are caves underground."

Asuka asked, puzzled, "But why is this place so bright?"

Jim shook his head and replied, "I don't know. I've never seen an environment like this in another world before."

"Let's stop with the small talk and find out where Misawa went. We also need to find an exit from here as soon as possible."

Judai interrupted their conversation, looking around.

"Judai, there are footprints behind you, and they look quite fresh!"

Upon hearing O'Brien's reminder, the others turned around and saw that there was indeed a row of footprints extending into the depths of the cave.

"It seems Misawa is heading this way. Let's go check it out."

So the group followed the footprints.

As they walked, O'Brien suddenly grabbed Judai's collar and pulled him behind him, while simultaneously gripping the handle of the pistol Duel Disk with his right hand, assuming a defensive stance.

Just then, a figure emerged from behind the stone pillar. It was a dark-skinned, scarred woman with a muscular physique.

Judai and Asuka were immediately surprised when they saw the person in front of them.

Judai: "Huh? Isn't that Tania?"

The other person didn't seem that surprised. "Yusei Fudo!"

Asuka: "Why is she in a place like this?"

Seeing that they seemed to know each other, O'Brien lowered his guard. "Know each other?"

"Yes, we dueled once during the Seven Stars Incident."

At that moment, a person followed Tania; it was none other than Misawa, who had disappeared for a while.

Chapter 240 The Dark World

"Not long ago, a strange change occurred in the world I lived in. I was suddenly sucked into another dimension, and when I woke up, I was already here."

Tania led Judai and the others through the cave, recounting the events that had happened to her as they walked.

As they walked, the group arrived at a bright and spacious area where the rocky hills had all been transformed into nests.

"Why is it so bright here even though it's underground?"

Tania explained to everyone, "There are also people here like me who came from different places and were controlled by those bird-beast creatures without knowing why."

Upon closer inspection, the group indeed discovered numerous bird-beast monsters enslaving weaker monsters below.

"Different..." Judai analyzed, resting his chin on his hand, "Could it be that the battle with Yubel earlier affected not only the Real World, but also other different things?"

"If that's the case, this world is truly extraordinary! This might explain why we were transferred to a place like this, and it's quite possible that John is in this world right now."

"That's quite possible..." Misawa nodded, indicating his agreement with the guess.

"Then Tania and I will stay here for now. In order to uncover the secrets of this world, we will investigate the matter of being drawn into this other world. This matter is very likely related to the elves I discovered in the previous other world who wanted to conquer the twelve."

"Once I understand these things, I'll catch up with you quickly."

So, apart from Misawa, Judai and his group set off again, and before heading to the upper levels, Judai took the opportunity to free the enslaved Duel Spirit from the underground.

They also learned from Tania that duels in this world are equivalent to real life-or-death battles, and once one's health points reach zero, it means true death.

Of course, Judai was already used to Dark Duel, so he wasn't afraid of them.

Passing through the gate connecting to the ground, Judai and the others returned to the dark world once more.

Just like before, this place is as dark and desolate as when I first arrived in this world. However, the scenery here is different. There are dilapidated buildings all around, as if people lived here not long ago, but they have been invaded and left empty.

What is that?

Upon hearing Asuka's reminder, the group looked up at the sky and saw a comet with a long, blue-green tail, seemingly falling to the ground.

The comet looked very close, but after waiting for a long time, it showed no signs of moving, which seemed quite strange.

Judai, Asuka, and O'Brien simply assumed it was some kind of special phenomenon in this world, but Jim's expression changed somewhat after seeing the comet.

"What's wrong, Jim?"

"No, it's nothing, I'm just not used to the dark environment here."

Hearing Jim's words, which sounded like he was trying to cover something up, Judai became somewhat suspicious.

However, he didn't delve into it further, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

So the group continued onward, trying to find any living people.

Before long, they actually found a group of 'people,' but they were a bunch of malevolent and inhuman monsters.

"Hehehehe, is anyone still alive here?"

The lead scarlet ape-shaped demon spoke up.

"Scar, the scout of the Dark World?"

Judai immediately recognized the extremely ferocious-looking demon before him. "The Dark World... Could it be that these guys were responsible for all this?"

Without saying a word, the other person simply threw the dagger in their hand towards us.

"The enemy...?"

If someone attacks with deadly intent upon first meeting, they are clearly not an enemy with whom communication is possible, so Judai doesn't need to hold back.

"Neo-HERO!"

At Judai's call, Neo-HERO's figure appeared behind him and deftly caught the dagger that was shot at him.

"Wh-what?"

O'Brien, standing nearby, reminded him, "Judai, leave someone to ask questions!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Then, Judai commanded the Neo-HERO to throw the dagger back. Before Scout Scar could react, the dagger pierced his head, killing him instantly and turning him into specks of light that vanished completely.

"Can Lord Scar be taken down?"

"Run!"

"No! I'll die!"

With their leader dead, the surrounding monsters and foes fled in terror.

Upon seeing this, Neo-HERO immediately gave chase and grabbed the slowest goblin.

Under O'Brien's interrogation, the goblin confessed everything.

Ever since the creatures of the Dark World appeared, this place has been constantly invading, and many humans have been captured. It seems that they want to use people's negative emotions to create some kind of card, which is why this area has become so dilapidated.

Asuka: "That's so mean..."

Jim: "But will there be any news of John here?"

Later, they learned from the goblin that a blue-haired boy matching the description was being held captive at the headquarters of the Dark World Knight Zul.

So the group asked him to lead them to the main camp to see if it was the place they were looking for.

"Go, Neo-HERO!"

"Smash them, Skull King!"

Boom! Boom! Boom--!!

In the dead of night, the Dark World's camp was suddenly attacked, and a large group of monsters were instantly killed.

The attackers were undoubtedly Judai and Jim. Since Judai was in charge, they could just charge straight in and catch the enemy off guard.

"Enemy attack!"

Who is it?

After being attacked, the Dark World forces were thrown into chaos.

While the Judai was causing chaos, O'Brien secretly infiltrated the prison and carried out the only human inside.

"Judai!"

"O'Brien, is that John?"

In response to Judai's question, O'Brien shook his head. "Although there's a slight resemblance, he's clearly just an ordinary human from this world. John shouldn't be here."

Asuka: "Then let's take him away from here first!"

As they were talking, a voice suddenly rang out.

"This won't do! You insects dare to play such tricks? You're asking for trouble!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly shot towards them.

"Stop it, Neo-HERO!"

'Drink!'

Ultraman dashed forward and slapped away the lightning.

"My attacks aren't working? Damn it, a powerful warrior among humans...!?"

A demon knight appeared out of nowhere in the newly assembled demon army. He seemed somewhat exasperated, but he did not lose his composure.

"Then I challenge you to a duel, warriors of humanity!"

Looking at the Dark World Knight Zul before him, Judai was somewhat taken aback. Had he changed his strategy to a duel after realizing he couldn't defeat him?

Chapter 241 Asuka VS Knight Zure, Kohei Chongguang

In this world, duels take precedence, and a card player must never refuse an enemy's challenge.

"Are you the leader here, Zure, the knight of the Dark World?"

In response to Judai's question, the Demon Knight nodded slightly and replied, "That's right. As long as you defeat me, you can leave this place safely."
