"Haven't discovered anything yet?"
At the topmost level of the skyscraper, there lies a famous "site," the favored high platform of Flame Wingman and Captain Gold.
At this moment, the high platform has been overtaken by numerous demons, with a group of demons fluttering their wings, hovering beside the flat ground next to it.
Their figures merge with the darkness and dense fog, even under the light shining upon them, it passes through their bodies as if they never existed, making them exceedingly inconspicuous in the night, adding layers of secrecy, allowing them to ambush with ease.
"Damn it, have we found any traces yet? Why did those heroes run so fast?" Among the countless demons is a brightly colored, muscular demon, possessing wide wings and glowing golden armor, making it particularly radiant amidst the darkness.
Tap, tap, a series of footsteps echoed, accompanied by the howling and screeching of many demons.
"What's with the noise? Don't you know I'm very—" he turned around, ready to scold his subordinates, but instead saw a scene drastically different from his imagination.
Before him stood a human warrior in blue uniform, wearing the Ritual Blade, with an impressive aura.
Beside him was a young human girl tightly clinging to him, cautiously observing the surroundings, along with a silent, floating green mage.
"Lord Goldd…" several demons were casually tossed by Tierra, landing on the rooftop like marbles beside the golden demon, and then struggled to say, "In…invader…"
After this, the small demon turned into fragments, disappearing from the world.
"Are you the leader here?" Tenjo Hikari looked up, scrutinizing the monster.
Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World.
"Oh...a human warrior?" Goldd saw his subordinates killed and didn't get angry, instead showing a bloodthirsty smile, "Hahaha, after waiting for so long, finally!"
As Goldd laughed, he reached out his hand, and a demon resembling an aide came over, handing him a scroll. He opened the scroll, glanced at it, and shook his head, "Not this human."
"However—since I've encountered a human, it means our exploration direction is correct!" The Wu-Lord laughed heartily, "After spending two months in such a boring place, it wasn't in vain!"
"Why did you attack the spirits here!" Serena couldn't hold back, yelling at the demon.
"Why? Does something like that need a reason? Hahaha." Goldd laughed, seemingly amused by Serena's question, and stopped answering, instead fixating on Tenjo Hikari, "So, you were the one who killed all those reported missing warriors?"
The duel took too long, and on his way here, Tierra had efficiently and cleanly eliminated all obstructing demons, so Goldd had no idea how his subordinates were lost.
Now seeing Tenjo Hikari, he understood everything: "Regardless of the reason, you've come here to stop me, have you? If that's so—"
He lightly struck the ground with the axe handle in his right hand, then chuckled sinisterly.
Tenjo Hikari heard such a "chuckle" for the first time.
With its eerie laughter, the golden axe in its hand began to split, assembling onto its arms, transforming into a wrist blade where cards could be placed.
Serena clenched her fists, furious yet at a loss for words.
"Serena, move away, when the duel starts, I might get injured. Stand a little farther."
Serena nodded, standing behind Tenjo Hikari, and the demons noticed her leaving his side, immediately surrounding the area near her, laughing eerily. Serena felt uncomfortable from their laughter, instinctively rubbing her arms.
At this moment, she finally understood what the seniors often mentioned as "unprovoked hostility."
Leaving the human world, such situations would arise in any dimension.
As long as you're human, entering any spirit dimension, they would be hostile to you, perhaps even want to kill you.
Those who cannot communicate, let it be; even those who can communicate are like this!
"Before the ritual begins, human, what do you seek?"
"As you said, get out of this dimension, and release the spirits in this dimension." Tenjo Hikari didn't waste words.
"Hehehe, such boldness—then, naturally, an appropriate return is needed!" Goldd said while casually grabbing several cards beside him, displaying them to Tenjo Hikari, "If you defeat me, I'll release these fragile heroes; but, if you lose, I'll seize you and your companion's bodies, entering the human world!"
Goldd's eyes reddened with bloodlust.
It's one of the numerous Wu-Lords of Dark World, serving as a vanguard, dispatched by the Mad King of Dark World to this dimension to find humans that can serve as "sacrifices."
Originally, their battles were very unsuccessful. But one day, a "strong light" swept through this dimension, weakening the spirits here suddenly, while it became several times stronger, leading to strength imbalance, immediately gaining absolute dominance.
This power gave it confidence to face any enemy!
Defeating this enemy and heading to the human world could potentially allow it to plunder massive amounts of power, possibly becoming a powerful spirit, reversing roles to rule the Mad King!
The desire swelling in its heart made it neglectful in considering who the opponent was or the level of power they possessed.
"Duel!"
Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World LP: 4000.
Tenjo Hikari, LP: 4000.
The first move goes to Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World.
"Hahaha, truly unfortunate, human. First move is mine, your chances of winning will drop several degrees." The Wu-Lord laughed after drawing a card.
Next to it, the demons of Dark World chimed along with its laughter, "Hahaha, that human probably doesn't know what he's about to face, huh?"
"Lord Goldd's turn, hehehe, I wonder how tragic the human's outcome will be."
Meanwhile, Serena also, in terror, discovered that after Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World finished drawing a card, eerie black aura emitted from its body, a taller white phantom at its back twisted manically.
"Teacher! It—" Serena felt her breathing constrict.
The ominous, contorting figure was like a needle piercing her mind, Goldd's form in her eyes expanded manically, seemingly covering the entire world, leaving her anxious and fearful, even sweating coldly!
Just watching the duel brought her tremendous pressure, how much more would her mentor, who was in the duel, bear!?
"Don't worry, Serena, you'll get used to it sooner or later." Tenjo Hikari comforted Serena.
"Oh, oh, Tenjo Hikari, this guy isn't one of those you can see right through instantly." Tierra reminded Tenjo Hikari.
Tenjo Hikari nodded.
It seems—it's genuinely a spirit endowed with some Light of Destruction!
"My turn.
You seem very confident, do you have some powerful cards supporting you against me?
Hahaha, no matter what it is.
Take a good last look at your hand, because I'm about to activate this card capable of destroying your hope—"
"Activate Spell Card, Card Destruction!"
Here it comes!
Card Destruction opening!
