Chapter 742: The Descending Darkness
Chapter 742: The Descending Darkness
Yuxuan, half-asleep in bed, felt as if someone was calling out to him. He slowly opened his eyes, and through the haze, he seemed to see a delicate face leaning over his bed, with silver hair hanging down, eyes open, and a tilted head looking at him.
It was Chen Mo, silently poking him with her finger.
Yuxuan picked up the student terminal by his side and checked the time—2:30 am. He yawned.
"What's going on?"
Chen Mo pointed outside and gestured.
Yuxuan immediately became alert. "Intruders?"
Chen Mo nodded and pushed the window open. Yuxuan hesitated for a moment, then casually put on his jacket and jumped out of the second floor, landing on the lawn outside the dormitory.
Indeed, the height of the second floor was now almost like flat ground to him, and he had long since stopped paying attention to it.
Chen Mo, in her school uniform, led the way, and Yuxuan followed her through the thicket, already halfway to their destination.
"The Osiris Red Dormitory," Yuxuan thought to himself, trying to recall what might happen on this side of the dormitory based on his knowledge of the original work. But the early episodes of GX were filled with standalone episodes, and supernatural intruders often appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, these episodes didn't leave a strong impression, so Yuxuan couldn't immediately guess who it might be.
However, as they approached the outskirts of the Osiris Red Dormitory, Yuxuan became aware that it was unlikely to be an intruder from any random episode.
It was not that level of power.
The Osiris Red Dormitory was shrouded in darkness. Ordinary people might not be able to see it with their naked eyes, but as they approached this area, they would feel an inexplicable oppression, difficulty breathing, and even struggle to take a step forward. But in Yuxuan's vision, the Osiris Red Dormitory at this moment seemed to have transformed into a mass of black mist.
He was sure that even in this entire world, such powerful darkness was rarely seen.
Yuxuan heightened his alertness and followed the direction of his senses. Of course, he also noticed without surprise that the source of this darkness was in Jito's dormitory.
As expected. In the entire Osiris Red Dormitory, or perhaps even the entire Duel Academy, there were few who could cause more trouble than Jito.
Yuxuan himself could be counted as one.
At the door, Chen Mo, the Silent Magician, stopped Yuxuan behind her and slowly pushed the door open.
The old dormitory door of the Osiris Red Dormitory was pushed open, and at that moment, it was as if Pandora's Box had been opened. The aura of darkness instantly peaked, enveloping them as they entered the room.
A person stood in the center of the room.
Dressed in the Osiris Red Dormitory uniform, with his back to the door, staring out the window, deep in thought about something. But that silhouette, with its jellyfish-like hairstyle, could only be Jito.
His roommate, Marufuji Shou, was fast asleep on the bed, seemingly unaware of anything.
However, Yuxuan knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to wake up under such oppressive darkness.
"Jito?"
Yuxuan paused and frowned.
"No, you're not Jito, right?"
He already had a guess in mind.
And when "Jito" slowly turned around, and Yuxuan's terrifying golden eyes met his, his guess was confirmed.
"Tyrant," he said in a deep voice. "Why are you here?"
According to the original work, this shouldn't have happened. In the original, Jito was supposed to have suffered a huge blow and been abandoned in a parallel dimension, which was when the Tyrant took advantage of the situation.
But Jito shouldn't be in that state now.
Could it be that as they approached the Tyrant's Castle, their connection had become closer?
Then, during Jito's deep sleep at night, when he lost consciousness, the Tyrant seized the opportunity and reversed the situation, using Jito's body as a medium to enter the real world.
It seems like I can only make such a guess.
But if that's the case, his control over this body is probably not as strong as in the anime. After all, Jito is merely asleep and hasn't fallen into the darkness of his heart. Even now, there's a chance he could wake up at any moment.
"So, you duelists of this world are trying to attack my castle?"
Tyrant's expression remained unchanged as he opened his Duel Disk.
"If that's the case, then let me see for myself if you have the capital to do so."
"We've encountered Tyrant here ahead of schedule, though it's a bit earlier than planned."
You Xuan also opened his Duel Disk.
"But it's just as well, at least we don't have to go to Tyrant's Castle to find you."
Both of them stepped out to the area outside the Red Dormitory.
"Duel!" x2
[You Xuan, LP 4000]
[Tyrant, LP 4000]
You Xuan: "I'll go first, drawing a card."
He speculated that the current Tyrant was probably not as powerful as in the anime. Jito's heart hadn't fallen into darkness, and in the anime, Tyrant's ace, Super Fusion, was obtained by sacrificing countless creatures in the plot. It's likely that he doesn't have it yet.

At this moment, the Tyrant before him had only taken over Jito's body, and although he had the characteristic golden eyes of Tyrant, he was still wearing the Red Dormitory uniform, and he didn't have the signature helmet. Moreover, this place wasn't a parallel dimension, and it wasn't Tyrant's Castle, so it might reduce some of the home-field advantage.
"Activating the Spell Card 'Angel's Alms', draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from your hand."
"Then, activating the Quick-Play Spell 'Sorting the Tome of Magic', check the top three cards of your deck and return them to the top of your deck in the order of your choice."
You Xuan drew three cards in one go, looked at them, and adjusted the order before placing them back on top of his deck.
"Then, I set a card face-down and end my turn."
"My turn, drawing a card."
Tyrant drew a card and then immediately revealed the drawn card in his hand.
"Spell Card 'Desire Flask', draw two more cards from your deck."
Drawing two more cards, Tyrant spoke coldly.
"Duelists of a foreign world, let me see the strength of your world.
I Normal Summon 'Elemental Hero Sky Fighter'."
A transparent white cyclone rose, accompanied by the sound of a spinning turbine, and the hero of the sky seemed to ride the whirlwind, confidently landing on the field with his arms crossed.
[Elemental Hero Sky Fighter, ATK 1800]
"Sky Fighter's effect, when successfully summoned, add one 'Hero' monster from your deck to your hand."
You Xuan furrowed his brows.
Wait a minute, he remembered that Sky Fighter's effect in the manga was to halve the attack and allow direct attacks. This seems to be the effect of the real card.
Is this an evolution of the Elemental Hero caused by Tyrant's power?
This doesn't seem impossible. Tyrant's strength is absolutely sufficient to create cards, and when Jito went berserk, there was a precedent where Absolute Zero Fighter evolved.
"Sky Fighter's effect, add another 'Hero' monster from your deck to your hand."
Tyrant displayed the card he searched for in his hand.
"I add 'Elemental Hero Wild Fighter' to my hand."
Then, he slowly drew another card from his hand. The moment the card was raised, even before it was activated, a dark cyclone started swirling around him.
"Activating the Spell Card...
...Dark Fusion!"
