Chapter 735 Fantasy Demon Race (4K)

"Long time no see, Amagi boy~~"

The next day, Hikaru Amagi followed Ansel to the International Illusion Company as usual. Pegasus, who appeared in front of Hikaru Amagi, still spoke that familiar, eerie English with that tone.

"Hello, Mr. Pegasus." Hikaru Amagi greeted Pegasus.

The ship that took off last night will arrive at Duel Kingdom Island this morning. Hikaru Amagi has slept in all sorts of places and doesn't have the habit of being particular about her bed, so she doesn't feel tired at all, no matter which ship she's on.

It was a long time since I'd seen Bekas, and he was as energetic as ever.

Pegasus, the world's most famous card designer and the "father of Duel Monsters," is a well-known event initiator in the original work. Many villains would target Pegasus first when they wanted to cause trouble.

Seeing that Pegasus was perfectly normal, Amagi Hikaru was relieved.

Actually, he was a little worried before he came.

After all, a completely new race represents a completely new "energy," and the creation of such cards might attract covetous forces or legendary beings.

For example, the three Egyptian God cards and the three evil God cards from the original work, or even a completely new race like Destiny Heroes: Blood Demon D, could cause all sorts of events.

But Bekas seemed pretty normal.

"Although I really want to let Tiancheng boy experience the wonders of this new race right now, unfortunately, it's a bit difficult."

I knew it!

Amagi Hikaru felt a surge of joy in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged: "Has something happened?"

Hikaru Amagi tried his best to appear calm, without any gloating or premonition.

"Let's talk about this as we walk."

Pegasus smiled and gestured to Amagi Hikaru that there was no need to rush.

As he walked, he told Amagi Hikaru what had happened during this time.

Ever since that day when Tiancheng Guang defeated the "Millennium Eye God", Pegasus began to focus on studying the new race.

What makes him feel gratified is that, although this card design required his own effort and wisdom, he was not alone. Many excellent designers, especially outstanding designers like Hayato Maeda, helped him to start researching and searching.

He walked into an office, opened the door, and when the people inside saw him, all the staff stood up to welcome him.

He chuckled and waved to the people around him, then gestured for Maeda Hayato and the other designer who created the "Bound God Tomb" to come out together.

Although the other designers looked on with envy, they were not surprised by Bekas's actions.

Because these two people are indeed the most outstanding designers of the new era.

"Oh, speaking of which, Hayato-kun has designed quite a few new cards lately. Maybe I'll need to ask you for a favor sometime, Amagi-boy," Pegasus reminded him when he had a spare moment.

A little embarrassed, Maeda Hayato scratched the back of his head and greeted Amagi Hikaru.

After not seeing him for several months, Maeda Hayato has lost his former nerdy air and seems to have lost a lot of weight, but the suit still looks a bit out of place on him.

On the other side, Frans nodded slightly to Hikaru Amagi, as if to say hello.

However, he doesn't seem as cold as he was when they first met, and it seems his relationship with Maeda Hayato has improved.

Having the ability to read minds is indeed impressive for running a company.

"Hayato's artistic talent is quite pleasing, and Franz's card designs satisfy me. With their assistance, plus my own whimsical ideas, we quickly established the basic concept of the Fantasy Demon race."

Hmm... Hahaha~ I don't know if you guessed it, but yes, it's the Millennium Eye!

Bekas explained with an exaggerated smile.

Although the Millennium Eye may seem distorted and bizarre to others, Pegasus's aesthetic sense is not so simple. As long as there is enough artistic sense, he can accept even terrifying things. Moreover, after experiencing the Millennium Eye Sacrifice incident, he will no longer be limited by his previous ideas and will no longer restrict his artistic talent on the "abstract level". Recently, he has even started to promote cards such as "Sacrifice Fusion", which has caused a lot of controversy in the duelist community.

Following this, relying on the elven power of the Millennium Eye's sacrificial offering and his capable subordinates, Pegasus quickly designed a brand new race card—

[Street Illusionist].

When Pegasus first created the new race, he didn't actually give it a specific name. However, after the monster cards were successfully created, the name was finalized.

Fantasy Demon!
However, Bekas has ample experience being attacked.

Hikaru Amagi noticed that a barely perceptible smile had appeared on Ansel's usually expressionless face.

Ok.

It seems that even employees of International Illusion have heard of Mr. Bekas's "great reputation".

Aside from his "mind-reading ability," Pegasus's experience of being attacked is indeed unparalleled in the world.

Pegasus himself didn't seem to mind, and continued telling the story to Hikaru Amagi with a smile.

Because Pegasus had plenty of experience being attacked, he didn't immediately aim for high-powered cards when trying to create new races and new cards.

If it were him ten years ago, he might have created something like a "god-level" or "blue-eyed dragon," something that would leave him unconscious for days and completely unusable afterward.

But after experiencing more, Pegasus naturally wouldn't do that again.

Therefore, he designed a simple, ordinary, four-star normal monster.

After the monster cards were created, no strange phenomena occurred. Pegasus felt that he hadn't wasted his years of growing old and was much stronger than before.

but--

Then he felt like he was capable again.

Hikaru Amagi noticed that the other three employees of International Illusion Company all turned their heads away and stopped looking at Pegasus, clearly embarrassed.

Hikaru Amagi couldn't help but chuckle again.

“I’ve created a completely new deck themed around the winged mythical beast Chimera,” Pegasus said, opening the door.

Hikaru Amagi saw that the entire laboratory was riddled with cracks and pierced by storms, but to his surprise, there were no "cards" as he had imagined.

"You should know about the winged mythical beast, the chimera, right?"

“Of course, the card of the legendary Duel King is one of the legendary monsters.” Hikaru Amagi nodded slightly.

Winged Mythical Beast Chimera, Level 6, a wind-attribute beast-type fusion monster. The fusion condition is Baphomet and Mythical Beast King Gazel.

Like the Flame Swordsman, it is a "legendary card".

This type of card has one characteristic—its characteristic in this world.

That is, while these cards have a huge reputation, their release volume is pitifully small, and they are basically never reissued. Most of them are collector's cards, and unless you encounter an elf, it is almost impossible to get such a card.

There are far fewer of these cards than those that are issued indiscriminately, such as "Thousand-Eyed Sacrifice God"!

One of the main reasons why Hikaru Amagi is so knowledgeable about this is that she is a genuine "Flame Swordsman user," and one of the few world-renowned Flame Swordsman users.

Because of this, his classmates or teachers would occasionally mention the Flame Swordsman, making him realize even more clearly how valuable the three Flame Swordsman cards he had were now.

Of course.

The past was before and the present is now.

Because Hikaru Amagi made a name for himself with the Flame Swordsman, and there was even an urban legend that "Hikaru Amagi's use of the Flame Swordsman is the only truly serious one," the value of the Flame Swordsman was further enhanced. The "Extreme Flame Swordsman" that only Hikaru Amagi possessed was even more dramatic because it evolved in a completely different direction from Katsuya Jonouchi's Flame Swordsman.

“Amagi boy, you know, right? Card design isn’t something you can just come up with on a whim. Many of the cards that are currently in circulation are actually evolutions and developments of the cards from before. All that International Illusion and Kaiba Corporation can do is print more cards. So, after I successfully created a card for a completely new race, I immediately thought of that boy.”

That boy? A hint of reminiscence appeared on Pegasus's face, an emotion rarely shown by the president of such a large company.

"The legendary, nameless Pharaoh..."

Amagi Hikaru's eyebrows twitched wildly.

Good guy.

As expected of you, Pegasus.

Did it jump directly from the blank card to the Pharaoh?
It appears that the "Fantasy Monster Chimera" card series was created.

"The design went surprisingly smoothly; in just a few days, I had created a completely new series." Pegasus laughed heartily. "Looking back now, I think I encountered the same old problem again. Hahaha~~"

Hikaru Amagi's lips twitched.

The so-called "old problem" probably refers to the fact that, unknowingly, they were influenced by a mysterious entity, which resulted in the creation of a series of entirely new cards.

"So, Mr. Pegasus, you called me here to handle this?" Hikaru Amagi prepared himself.

Although the Fusion decks of the Fantasy Beasts Chimera series are somewhat "outdated" compared to new-era Fusion decks like Elegy of the Pearl, it doesn't mean that this deck is weak. In terms of strength alone, it is actually quite powerful enough.

After all, what Amagi Hikaru had wasn't actually the Pearl Tears Elegy deck.

But Pegasus interrupted his preparations, telling him not to rush.

“Oh, no need for that.” Pegasus waved his hand hastily. “Actually, Game Boy came here before.”

"Eh?"

Hikaru Amagi was taken aback by what he said.

Bekas continued.

Originally, Yugi Muto was supposed to travel through the Pendulum Dimension and record what happened there, but for some reason, his identity as a high-level duelist was discovered. Although the other party did not drive him away, Yugi himself was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he returned to the Fusion Dimension.

Because he saw a brand new card called "Pendulum Monster" in that dimension, he couldn't wait to come to Pegasus. He happened to witness Pegasus creating a fantasy monster, so he stepped in to help Pegasus and also kept the card Pegasus created safe—Pegasus was scared.

Once you've tried it once, you get used to it. He felt that these autonomous and destructive cards should stay where they belong.

However, this also gave Pegasus an excuse and reason to force Yugi Muto to stay and help him study the cards.

Therefore, the damage in the research lab was not actually caused by the cards, but rather by traces left by Yugi Muto during the battle.

Amagi Hikaru was filled with awe.

Impressive.

"The research is going very smoothly!" Bekas clenched his fist excitedly.

There were experts, artists, designers, and his wonderful ideas. He didn't need to worry about danger and could do whatever he wanted to die. Naturally, he completely let himself go and began to study all sorts of strange and bizarre things.

After destroying several laboratories and exploding countless unfinished cards, Pegasus, while discussing "Pendulum Monsters" with Yugi, suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Pegasus led Amagi Hikari to a floating iron box, chuckled, and mysteriously teased, "Guess what kind of card it is? I'll give you a hint, it's a [Fusion] magic card."

Fusion Spell Card?
Hikaru Amagi stared at the box in front of him, somewhat hesitant.

The other employees also watched curiously, waiting for Hikaru Amagi's answer.

During this time, they were very curious about what the cards in the box were, but all their guesses were rejected by Mr. Pegasus.

Even "fusion with the other's monster" or "fusion with an excluded monster" is incorrect.

"A Fusion Spell Card..."

Hikaru Amagi pondered, looking at Pegasus with some hesitation.

Judging from the three employees around him, none of them seemed to have guessed it, which means that this is an unconventional integration method.

However, I have used the vast majority of Fusion decks in the world, whether they are in my hand, graveyard, field, banished, on my opponent's field, or in my opponent's graveyard, my own deck, or my own Extra Deck.

In other words, Pegasus created a rare Fusion Magic Card that did not belong to any of the above types of fusion, and it is quite certain that even he, the "Absolute Fusion Master," had never used it.

What kind of integration would this be?
Hikaru Amagi frowned, suddenly thinking of the "pendulum".

This should be a hint—

Pendulum Monsters are both monsters and spells. In the Monster Zone they are monsters, and in the Pendulum Zone they are spell cards. I've even used Pendulum Fusion before...

and many more.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

He raised a finger and voiced his guess to Pegasus: "Could it be... a fusion using magic or trap cards?"

Upon hearing Hikaru Amagi's words, several employees couldn't help but speak up.

"The fusion of magic cards? That's definitely a possibility I never considered."

"Ah, speaking of which, Amagi-kun must have used the Magic Hat to fuse magic cards."

"Hmm, isn't that a bit far-fetched? Even Magic Hat and Fusion are essentially about fusing monsters on the field, not just pure Fusion Spell Cards..."

The three of them each expressed their own opinions: Anseil's was based on the idea of ​​dueling, Maeda Hayato's was based on his understanding of Amagi Hikaru, and Frans' was based on the rules and design of the cards.

None of the three knew whether the answer was correct or not. Only Pegasus, after a brief moment of shock, couldn't help but start clapping: "Surprise! Amagi boy~~ Although Game Boy said that your understanding of fusion has surpassed everyone else, I didn't expect that you could actually guess the answer from someone you've never seen before!"

"what?"

"It actually happened—"

The employees were all frightened.

Pegasus gently took down the box and removed a card from it.

Magic Cards —

Sacred thistle.

A Fusion Spell Card that is Fusion Summoned by sending the "Sinful Treasure" card to the Graveyard!

Next to it is the Continuous Magic Card, the Deception of the Sinful Treasure!
Pegasus casually picked up two cards from the side, one was "The Thirsty Saint Yelü Xikton" and the other was "The Illusionary Apprentice Magician".

"Sorry, Amagi-boy, I've given the rest of the Fantasy Demon series cards to Yugi-boy~ so these are all I can give you." Pegasus gave the other Fantasy Demon cards to Yugi Muto as payment for his help with research and defense; there weren't many cards left.

“It’s alright, Mr. Pegasus!” Hikaru Amagi smiled as she saw the Sacred Thistle. “To see this new kind of fusion, a fusion that only requires a Spell Card or a Trap Card, is already quite satisfying for me!”

"Hahaha~~ As expected of Amagi boy~~ More than more and stronger cards, you care about the fusion itself... I'm really looking forward to your next performance~~ Hahahaha~~" He patted Amagi Hikaru on the shoulder, "You should use it more often in the future, and remember to save the recordings—"

Frans' pupils contracted.

Mr. Pegasus's subtext was that he wanted Amagi Hikaru to use these cards more often to gather information, so that it would be easier for him to create other cards in this series in the future!

Amagi Hikaru wasn't stupid and understood what he meant. He immediately smiled and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Pegasus."

"Seeing brand new, artistic cards that tell new stories in duels is the greatest gratitude I can express."

Hikaru Amagi understood Pegasus's long-held belief—Pegasus was deeply worried about the people of his dimension who didn't pursue duels but instead sought a more direct and straightforward path to power. Therefore, he admired Hikaru Amagi, a young man who still insisted on using fusion in this environment.

Amagi Hikaru, of course, wouldn't disappoint Pegasus. He nodded decisively and said, "I understand!"
