Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

Furthermore, when this card battles a Special Summoned monster, it inflicts damage to your opponent equal to the difference between that monster's original ATK and the monster's ATK, and destroys that monster! [Tiva of Flowers], Reflecting Roar!

As the tiny figure on the flower seat opened her mouth, a powerful sonic wave shot out from her small mouth, shattering [Moonlight Dancing Cat Princess]'s body into specks of light.

Even Serena's LP plummeted from 3500 points to 2100 points.

"Then, what's next is..."

"That's right, [Prima of the Holy Flower of Illusory Song], attack Serena directly!"

Another sound wave, carrying bluish-white notes, flew out from the mouth of [Prima of the Phantom Song of the Holy Flower], crashing heavily into Serena, knocking her to the ground and completely reducing her LP to zero.

"Serena, you lost."

"I lost?"

Looking at her own hands, Serena couldn't believe that she had come to fight a basic dimension guy and a remnant of a superdimensional being, and yet she had lost so easily.

Moreover, in the previous duel she witnessed, the guy from the Basic Dimension who looked similar to her did nothing but easily won by relying on the power of that Xyz Dimension remnant.

Even that remnant of the Xyz Dimension didn't unleash the power he had just used in the previous duel.

She thought these two were prey she could handle, and wanted to capture them to impress the professor and show him her abilities.

In hindsight, it seems she was just being naive.

For a fleeting moment, Serena even understood why the professor wouldn't allow her to leave the academy; it seemed she really was too weak.

(King Zero of Akama, far away in the fusion dimension, sneezed loudly.)

"That's right, you lost. So, according to the rules of your dimensional fusion, I will take your life!"

As Hayabusa walked step by step towards Serena and pulled out another Duel Disk from his pocket, Yuzu Hiiragi quickly stepped forward and stopped him:

"Falcon, don't do that!"

Serena, on the other hand, seemed quite composed. She stood up and addressed Hiiragi Yuzu and Hayabusa in front of her:

"Since I lost the duel, I, as a duelist, will accept this outcome with equanimity. Do whatever you wish to do to me."

Serena's reaction surprised Falcon slightly. He had already seen many people's reactions when fighting against the Obelisk forces from the fused dimension.

Some attempted to forcibly activate the sealing process, trying to seal him inside the card, but he, being prepared, dodged it and sealed himself inside the card instead.

Some people can kneel down and beg for mercy, disregarding their dignity, without ever considering that they had previously ignored the pleas of the superdimensional civilians and sealed them away. Faced with such people, Hayabusa's choice was to seal them away without hesitation as well.

More often than not, they simply seized the opportunity to initiate the return process and escape back to the fusion dimension.

Serena is the first person to be able to calmly accept defeat and death after losing a duel.

Not only Falcon, but even Yuzu Hiiragi was somewhat startled by Serena, and quickly rushed over to grab Serena's shoulders:

"Do you even know what you're saying? You really could die!? Don't you value your own life at all!?"

"No, of course I want to live too. But..."

Faced with Yuzu's questioning, Serena raised an eyebrow and said righteously,

"I am a duelist, and I have the dignity of a duelist. Since I have lost in a duel where I gave it my all, I should accept it without hesitation, even if it means losing my life!"

As she spoke, Serena glanced at Hayabusa, who was being shielded behind Hiiragi Yuzu, and added:

"I think that whether it's us duelists from the Fusion Dimension or you duelists from the Xyz Dimension who were defeated and had your lives taken by us, you should all be prepared for this!"

Although Falcon was quite annoyed by Serena's comparison of the duelists of the Hyperdimension to the invaders of the Fusion Dimension, he seemed to detect something different in Serena's words.

“I’ve changed my mind. For now, I will not take your life.”

Chapter 131 Facing the Reality

"Hey! What do you want to do!?"

Upon hearing Falcon's voice change of mind, Serena immediately cried out. She keenly sensed that this man's decision to spare her life definitely had another purpose.

"Let me tell you, even if you don't intend to take my life, I will not help you fight against the fused dimension!"

"Don't worry, I'm not naive enough to let you deal with the fused dimension. But I have a few questions for you."

As the falcon's face drew near, Serena immediately turned her head away:

"Even if you try to get the secrets of dimensional fusion from me, I won't tell you!"

"Don't worry, I won't ask anything confidential, and I know you won't tell me anyway, so it's just some small questions. For example, how do you think your fusion dimension warriors fought when they invaded our hyperdimensional world?"

The question that came out of the falcon's beak startled Serena for a moment. Compared to the question Serena had originally expected, it was indeed a minor one.

However, Serena had just been focused on how to lie to Falcon if he asked any confidential questions, so when faced with this question, her mind went completely blank.

And so, in this dazed state, Serena revealed her true feelings:

"It should be... a one-on-one duel where the loser is willing to give up their life, right?"

Staring intently into Serena's eyes for several seconds, confirming from her gaze that she was indeed not lying, Falcon couldn't help but sigh.

She really doesn't know anything, no wonder she's so naive.

"Ha, if those bastards could really do what you say, that would be a good thing."

Falcon's disdainful slander instantly drew a question from Serena:

"What do you mean by that!? Isn't this how we warriors of fused dimensions act? Are you saying that Professor... and they, have been lying to me all along!?"

"I think that's true."

After giving Serena a curt reply, Falcon began to recount to her the truth about the Obelisk Force that he had witnessed.

"One-on-one duels? What are those? An entire squad of Obelisk soldiers against one person, and they never follow the rules of rounds and rotations in melee combat. They rely on a series of attacks to wear down one person's LP and defeat their opponent. This kind of thing is commonplace among the Obelisk soldiers I've seen."

Furthermore, they never just targeted duelists. They destroyed our homes with massive weapons of war, and even brutally took the lives of the elderly and children who were not even capable of dueling!

Seeing the barely suppressed anger and pain in Falcon's eyes, Serena trembled. From Falcon's tone, she could tell that he hadn't lied to her, but in her heart, she still refused to believe or acknowledge what he said.

After all, if she admitted it, it would mean that she had been living in lies and deception for so many years.

"How do I know you're not lying to me? You're a remnant of the Hyperdimensional Dimension, an enemy of our Fusion Dimension. It's perfectly normal for someone like you to slander our Fusion Dimension, isn't it!"

Serena's resistant words disappointed Falcon. Sure enough, it was not easy to persuade this girl who looked exactly like his sister.

"No, no, ah!!!"

In the distance, a shrill scream rang out, instantly drawing the attention of Hayabusa, Yuzu Hiiragi, and Serena.

"Falcon, this is..."

"There's no mistake, it must have been the Obelisk forces who made the move!"

After confirming Hiiragi Yuzu's guess, Hayabusa also turned his gaze to Serena.

"Do you want to see for yourself? The way you invaders from merged dimensions fight might be completely different from what you think."

"Tch! Let them watch. I believe we duelists from fused dimensions would never do such a thing!"

Despite saying these words, Serena was still filled with guilt, after all, she herself was now full of doubt about what she believed in.

"Then let's go."

........................

Following the direction from which the sound came, Falcon, Yuzu Hiiragi, and Serena traversed the lava region and stepped onto a snowfield covered by solid ice and white snow.

When they arrived, they saw a man in knight's armor fall heavily onto the ice some distance in front of them, while three uniformed Obelisk soldiers approached him at that moment.

"Now, my turn is over."

"Well then, it's my turn!"

As Serena watched as an Obelisk member with a mask inlaid with yellow gems announced the end of the round, another Obelisk member next to him immediately took over and started the round, Serena seemed to hear something break.

Perhaps her belief in dimensional fusion has been shattered.

"Stop! Is this how you fight!?"

Unfortunately, Serena rushed out a little too late; the Obelisk soldier who had taken over the turn had already launched a direct attack on the man.

Struck by the flames spewed from the mouth of the military green mechanical hound, the heavy knight's armor crashed heavily onto the ice. The owner of the knight's armor, LP, also dropped to 0 points and was sealed in a card in a flash.

However, the members of Obelisk's forces, who had just defeated the dueling knight, still managed to notice her:

"This face... could it be that prey has delivered itself to our doorstep?"

However, the Obelisk soldier who had just handed over the turn to him slapped him hard on the back of the head:

"Idiot! Take a good look at her hairstyle and the style of her duel disk. She's not our target!"

Then, the squad leader of the Obelisk forces stepped forward and asked Serena:

“Serena, if I remember correctly, the professor strictly forbade you from leaving the fused dimension. Now that you're here, it means you've disobeyed the professor's orders, doesn't it?”

"I don't care how this happens! Tell me, is that how you fight?!"

Faced with Serena's questioning, the squad leader did not answer, but instead raised his duel disk, revealing hostility towards Serena:

"Serena, you have disobeyed the professor's orders. Now, we are going to take you back as ordered by the professor!"

As the squad leader revealed his duel disk, the two Obelisk soldiers beside him also unfolded their own duel disks.

"If you want to take me back, let's see if you have the ability!"

Seeing Serena unfold her Duel Disk, looking as if she was about to duel the Obelisk Force members, Hayabusa and Yuzu Hiiragi quickly rushed out from behind the ice pillars where they were hiding and stood beside Serena.

"Now, are you willing to believe what I'm saying?"

Serena did not respond, but silently lowered her head.

Chapter 132 The Duel Awaiting Reinforcements

"She is……"

Upon seeing Hiiragi Yuzu charging forward, her face practically identical to Serena's, the squad leader of the Obelisk forces immediately shouted to Serena,

“Serena, now is not the time to be willful! The professor is right next to you. If you help us catch her, we will explain to the professor and ask him to be lenient with you.”

"shut up!"

With a sharp rebuke, Serena cut off the squad leader's attempt to persuade her, and a deep disappointment appeared on her face.
