Chapter 823 Fear (4K)
"Amagi Hikari!"
"What's going on? How did he get here!"
"Didn't someone witness him at Dennis's place before!?"
The relatively peaceful atmosphere was instantly shattered when the group of Fusion Army soldiers saw Amagi Hikaru. Several masked soldiers immediately stepped in front of the other Fusion Army soldiers, telling them to leave.
These lowest-ranking soldiers of the Fusion Army were responsible for dealing with the relatively weaker contestants—such as duelists and elves who had entered the arena after four losses.
Now that they have achieved many victories, it would be worthwhile to throw out all those certification cards and pave the way for other Fusion Army soldiers to jointly fulfill the eternal Fusion Army's tragic wish.
The squad leaders of the Fusion Army exchanged glances, nodded silently, and quickly called for Su Liang of Ziyunyuan before leaping away.
As she was leaving, Shiyunin Sora turned back and glanced at Amagi Hikaru.
Sunlight shone on Amagi Hikaru, making his figure appear very tall, but what truly shocked and even frightened Shionin Sora was... Amagi Hikaru's eyes.
Ziyunyuan Suliang was unable to explain what those eyes actually looked like.
That eye just stared at her calmly, without any extra emotion or fluctuation, as if she were looking at weeds. It was this gaze that made Su Liang feel unfamiliar, fearful, and unable to look directly at it.
How could that be?
He had clearly seen Amagi Hikaru before, and he had clearly been in contact with Amagi Hikaru for a long time.
The two squad leaders and Ziyunyuan Suliang leaped over several houses, flashed into a tall building, and then panted heavily.
however--
Before they could calm down, a crisp footstep interrupted their thoughts.
They turned around stiffly and looked up at the stairs, where a figure slowly walked out.
It's him……
It's him!
Amagi light!
"W-what happened? Why—"
"Is this guy a human or a ghost? Why is he here?!"
"And them—"
The two captains of the Fusion Army seemed to be terrified, and their voices trembled when they saw Amagi Hikaru.
They couldn't understand.
They left behind three companions, and even if each of them fought a duel, they should have been able to stop Amagi Hikaru's advance. But they chose to run away from the very beginning. Under these circumstances, Amagi Hikaru not only caught up with them, but even knew exactly where they were!?
Does such a thing exist in the world?
Without saying a word, Hikaru Amagi silently reached into the lining of his clothes and then casually pulled out a whole stack of cards. He casually flicked them, and the cards spread out in his hand like a fan.
On the cards are the faces of the defeated soldiers of the Fusion Army!
so much!?
There are probably dozens of them!
Dozens of photos in such a short time!
There were even several "personality experiment subjects"!?
how so!?
How could it be so fast!?
How did he position himself?
In a short time, countless ideas flashed through the minds of the three people, but in the end, they came to the same conclusion.
"Run!"
They both shouted at Su Liang of Ziyunyuan at the same time.
Shiyunin Sora is a talented duelist, praised by the Commander-in-Chief of the game. He is one of the very few duelists who can enter the Dimensional KC Cup without relying on science, Pendulum Personality to enhance his strength or changing his deck.
He even gained the recognition of the Pokémon of the Magic Toys series through his own efforts!
He can easily defeat some obscure duelists, and even possesses a wealth of information about the Pendulum Dimension, allowing him to fight when he is most useful—
"I'll stay!"
Ziyunyuan Suliang took a deep breath.
"I've long wanted to duel the legendary strongest!"
If Sora hadn't met Hikaru Amagi in the Pendulum Dimension, she might have considered listening to the two squad leaders and leaving decisively at this point.
However, after seeing Hikaru Amagi in the Pendulum Dimension and knowing that Hikaru Amagi was not a monster but just a duelist, he was no longer so afraid of Hikaru Amagi.
After all, Hikaru Amagi didn't do anything particularly outrageous in the Pendulum Dimension.
Moreover, simply running away is not his style.
Constantly running away also affects the duelists' mentality.
However, his two companions insisted that he hurry up and leave, as if they were convinced that Shionin Sora could never defeat Amagi Hikaru.
Ziyunyuan Suliang gritted her teeth.
It has always been this way.
Is it because he is young that he is deliberately excluded?
Because he was young, he was not allowed to participate in hunting, and he was never called upon when fighting against elves or humans.
but--
Even though there are duelists of the same age trained within the Fusion Army, and duelists who have already "hunted" in the Hyperdimension, why can I only watch and become a mysterious spy?
He desperately wanted to voice his questions at that moment, but the first Fusion Army soldier to step forward had already unfurled his Duel Disk and roared, "I'm not afraid of you, Amagi Hikaru!"
Hikaru Amagi casually collected the Fusion Army soldiers that had turned into cards, shook his hand, and proceeded with the duel as usual.
His movements were perfectly executed, without the slightest hesitation or stagnation. Despite having engaged in dozens of duels in a single day, he appeared remarkably relaxed.
This alone is quite exaggerated. After all, no matter how powerful humans are, they will still feel tired and fatigued. Even if they are not physically tired, mental fatigue is inevitable.
Upon seeing the duel begin, Shiunin Sora wanted to stay and see what was going on with Amagi Hikaru's duel.
However, he also could not afford to waste the sacrifice of his comrades.
He closed his eyes, ignored everything, jumped out of the window, and ran around aimlessly without a care in the world.
He even considered running back, hoping that he could face Amagi Hikaru again and fight alongside his comrades.
Time ticked by, and Ziyunyuan Suliang finally stopped, leaning against the wall.
Where is this place?
He had no idea where he was; he had been running around aimlessly and had no idea where he was.
All he knew was that he must have moved to a different city.
"You're here."
! !
Shiyun-in Sukyo shivered. He stiffly looked up and saw Amagi Hikaru standing on the wall with his back to the light, speaking calmly and expressionlessly.
Because he was backlit, his face was not very clear and even looked somewhat dark. Only his eyes were exceptionally bright, scrutinizing Shiyun-in Suyun like a machine.
Shiyun-in Su-ra quickly jumped to the opposite side, braced herself with her hands in front of her, and slowly panted, nervously watching Amagi Hikaru.
Hikaru Amagi casually jumped down from the wall.
There's no need to say anything more.
He gained two more cards of Fusion Army soldiers.
Ziyunyuan Suliang felt his legs trembling, his breathing seemed out of rhythm, and cold sweat occasionally seeped from his forehead.
At this moment, it was no longer time for him to think about questions like "Where did this guy come from?", "How did he discover me?", or "Why is he chasing after me?". He only knew that...
He had nowhere left to run!
……
but.
fair enough.
As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, revealing a smile.
He can finally participate in the "hunt"!
and.
He had long wanted to duel the strongest Fusion Duelist, and he was eager to see just how good he was.
More importantly, he knew that Hikaru Amagi also had cards from the "Magical Toys" series. Duel with Hikaru Amagi would allow him to understand the differences between himself and Hikaru Amagi, which would be more beneficial for his improvement.
Regardless of the reason.
A duel with Hikaru Amagi, the undisputed strongest Fusion User, would be beneficial for any Fusion User.
Although... the current environment is not very suitable.
Although this duel may determine life or death.
But that doesn't matter. For duelists, even death is valuable as long as they can see what they truly want to see.
“Shiyun-in Sukyo,” Amagi Hikaru suddenly spoke.
!
Su Liang was startled.
Does he still remember himself?
You still know your own name?!
He took a couple of breaths and then asked, "You remember me?"
"Of course I remember. In the Pendulum Dimension, you once joined Yusho Sakaki's Yusho Academy and became friends with Yuya, right?"
Hikaru Amagi, as if reciting a familiar story, held up one finger: "I remember, you also have three younger friends. Right now, they're probably in front of the TV or computer, watching you run away when they see me, right?"
Su Liang of Ziyunyuan's face darkened.
“Those guys aren’t my friends,” Shiyunin Sora thought of the three mischievous children. His face didn’t show any happiness. Instead, he took out a lollipop, tore open the wrapper, and put it in his mouth, as if that would make him more confident.
He took a bite, but it wasn't enough. Right in front of Amagi Hikaru, he tore the lollipop apart, biting it into pieces in just a few bites, and then swallowed it all in one gulp.
"It's just a temporary hobby. What really excites me is the hunting. Only by surrounding those guys like herding livestock and then killing them can I truly feel excited!"
Hikaru Amagi casually crossed his arms and said, "Really? I'm not excited at all."
……
! !
Suyun-in Suyun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses.
Yes--
That's right!
Amagi Hikaru just now shared the same thoughts they had always had.
He actually became a hunter.
He drove himself away like a wild beast, but no matter how he tried to escape, he could not escape Amagi Hikaru's "net"!
Just as he said, Amagi Hikaru became a hunter who hunted them down!
"See the Fusion Army committing evil, and then take them down. It's such a simple thing." Hikaru Amagi said calmly. "In fact, it's normal to stop people from committing evil."
The Fusion Army, on the other hand, is mostly ignorant and even insults the name of fusion, so I usually take action when I see these Fusion Army guys.
It's like seeing trash on the ground while passing by, picking it up, and throwing it in the trash can—it's just a casual thing to do.
“You…” Ziyunyuan Suliang gritted her teeth, trembling.
"Hunting? Hunting humans? You actually find pleasure in something like that?" Hikaru Amagi shook his head.
Although he acted rather manic when facing the Fusion Army, he has never been "happy," either in the past or now.
Because the duels with the Fusion Army, in most cases, were purely meant to annoy him.
He'll only be happy without the Fusion Army!
"When I see you, I only feel sorry for you." Hikaru Amagi shook his head. "Don't you feel sorry for yourself?"
Driven by one person's madness, you slaughtered humans and elves in other worlds; driven by one person's ambition, you became pawns of others.
Even if a new leader is appointed, it is merely a change from a false belief to a true belief.
But in reality, there is no difference.
Whether it's a false slogan or a genuine belief, there's no difference between duelists born from slogans and beliefs.
Any duelist who can forge their own path through sheer willpower will always be able to unleash their full potential.
The difference lies only in—
In the past, you were sending yourselves to your deaths without knowing you were going to die.
And now, are we going to send you to your deaths knowing you're in the wrong?
"Could it be that you really agree with the philosophy of Yuri? To devour everything and turn everything into cards?" Amagi Hikaru asked expressionlessly.
Ziyunyuan Suliang did not answer this question.
Because, instinctively, he also felt that this was too exaggerated.
Logically speaking, if everything else is turned into cards and only the Fusion Army is left, then the Fusion Army might be able to recruit fresh blood after reorganization.
However, due to the game, the Fusion Army has hardly had any new members joining.
Of course.
It's not without its benefits.
Because of Yu Li's openness and honesty, everyone in the Fusion Army knew exactly what kind of fusion their leader desired. Under these circumstances, the vast majority of Fusion Army members who were willing to stay did not care about life or death at all.
"Sacrificing for the ideals of others is a noble thing, but now... you Fusion Army have ruined it again." Amagi Hikaru said with a grim face.
Ziyunyuan Suliang felt that she had almost recovered.
"I don't care about all that. All I know is that when my companions are slaughtering and hunting people from the Xyz Dimension and Synchro Dimension, the wails of those desperate guys are more interesting than any game or cartoon!"
"Ha... Foolish." Hikaru Amagi laughed upon hearing this. "If that were really the case, why have your companions never taken you hunting with them?"
Clack clack clack... Su Liang gritted her teeth, making a clacking sound.
These words struck Su Liang's heart deeply.
For him, this is the point that he finds most incomprehensible.
Why, why?
He's clearly an elite, a top student, and the best member of the Fusion Army, so why is he never allowed to do what the Fusion Army is supposed to do?!
"He must have his own plans!" Su Liang said, which restored her confidence.
"what……"
Hikaru Amagi shook his head.
Shiyunin Sora has already set up the Duel Disk.
"Looks like I'll have to let you know what a real life-or-death duel feels like."
"Duel!" X2.
