Chapter 8 The Way to Return to Reality
Although it turned into a card, Aleister actually only had to enter the card to rest because he suffered a huge impact during Hayato's Dark Game.
After all, he is a card elf, not an ordinary person who will die if he loses the dark game. Turning into a card or something is just an extra carrier. Even in the current situation where he has just been blown up, Aleister actually You can also communicate with Hayato through cards.
Hayato complained about it, just like O Kemen, even if he was beaten to death and put into the ball, he could still survive.
Although Alai wanted to take action when he first met Hayato, he turned out to be extremely honest after becoming a card. Basically, all the information he knew was told to Hayato, and Hayato was able to know exactly where he was. .
His initial guess was indeed correct. This world was indeed the "Elf World" where the card elves were. It was a world that was closely related to the previous real world "Human World". This was evident from the vast majority of the real world. It can be seen that the card spirit that resides on the Duel Monster card comes from the spirit world.
Of course, not all card elves exist in the elf world. For example, the game's [Black Magician] and Kaiba's [Blue Eyes White Dragon] are card elves born in the "human world", and there are still The same goes for the unborn [Jade Beast].
However, these things have little to do with Hayato. If Hayato doesn't have any hope of leaving the elf world and returning to the real world, Hayato still needs to understand the world he will stay in next, but Aleister told Hayato that he knows a place where he might be able to go. to the real world.
According to him, a few days ago, he noticed a strong power fluctuation coming from the supposedly disconnected real world into the elf world.
Although he had no interest in going to the real world, Aleister felt that the fluctuation might be related to "space", and his "summoning magic" was also related to "space". In addition, the fluctuation seemed to awaken... There was something that made him think that it might be used as a sacrifice for "summoning magic", so he was actually on his way there.
Comparing the time, Hayato guessed that the fluctuation might come from the "wandering star particles" that the red dragon "Ultramaya Zolkin" brought from the future to the past in an active state. For the red dragon that can travel through time and space, it is just Spreading "wandering particles" from one world to another adjacent world does not seem to be an exaggeration.
According to Aleister's theory, although the probability is not 100%, the transmission of "wandering star particle" fluctuations also requires the existence of a channel. And according to the intensity of the fluctuations he felt before, the channel is not too small and not too small. It will last for a certain period of time. If Hayato is lucky, he may be able to return to the real world through that passage.
But just now, because of Anubis, Hayato moved to the elven world, and the space fluctuations caused dispelled the "summoning magic" that Aleister randomly found as a sacrifice. Not only did it interrupt Aleister's journey, it also successfully confused his perception of the previous fluctuations and made him lose his way.
Alai himself does not actually have a great need for the fluctuations of the wandering star particles, and it does not even matter if it is said to be dispensable. He is just looking for ways to improve his "summoning magic", so since he cannot sense the wandering stars, Due to the fluctuation of star particles, he simply left the distance and found Hayato.
Of course, he didn't expect that he would be turned into a card at first.
However, during the exchange of information, the scumbag learned that Hayato actually possessed the Philosopher's Stone, the ruby bead of Anubis as the finished product of the Philosopher's Stone, and the [Super] that surpassed the miracle of the Philosopher's Stone. After fusion, he shamelessly insisted on following Hayato, saying that he would be able to find the ultimate "summoning magic" he longed for in Hayato.
Aleister knew everything Hayato needed to know about the situation in the elf world, but when Hayato asked him why his "summoning magic" had obviously progressed to the level of the ultimate combination of [Summoned Beast-Light Body] When he was dead and still conscious, Aleister kept talking about himself and couldn't give Hayato an answer.
Hayato didn't force him, but skipped the question nonchalantly.
Due to the impact of Hayato's transfer, Aleister is currently unable to continue to track the fluctuations of the wandering particles, but he also said that if there are some beings that were disturbed by the wandering particles before, they might be able to find the fluctuations. Ability.
However, it is difficult to say whether that ultimate being has been awakened, and whether it is willing and able to help Hayato, but Hayato currently only has this path to choose.
But before setting off, Hayato checked his system. After defeating Anubis and moving to the Elf Realm, Hayato actually saw new message prompts from the system, but at that time he had to prioritize Alai who was close to him, so he didn't have time to open and check the message until now.
As soon as he opened the system, Hayato saw four dialog boxes popping up in front of him.
[Dear duelist, you have new hunger...you have new achievement rewards to be claimed]
[Achievement: [Just a Passing Duelist] Completed]
[Condition: Open the dimensional door (1/1)]
[Reward: 1000dp, random demon pre-group]
[Achievement: [How can fusion be such an inconvenience] Completed]
[Condition: Abnormal fusion 1/1 time]
[Reward: 1000dp, limited ur exchange coupon]
[Achievement: [Brother Shooting, already 1000%] Completed]
[Conditions: The number of collected cards is 1000/1000]
[Reward: 1000dp, holding the most card type (trap) ur card pack]
The completion of the three achievements was accompanied by a guaranteed income of 3,000 dp, allowing Hayato, who had just paid 500dp to launch a dark game against Alai and only recovered 300dp to recover some losses, and then he began to check the other three additional items. income.
The first thing to open is the trap ur card pack. It was also this statistic of the system that Hayabusa discovered that although he had collected various cards since he came to the world of Duel Monsters, this statistic showed that the big head was not a magic or a monster, but a trap card. Although he usually felt that his duel cards were It's still very sunny.
Somewhat ashamed of the name "Monsters and Magic" at the beginning of Duel Monsters, Hayato was not one to care about those things, so he opened the card pack casually.
Gu Gan
The so-called UR card pack does not mean that a bunch of UR cards can be opened. Just like the normal card pack, there are five cards in the ur card pack, but the guarantee of one of them is increased to ur. In addition, because it is a trap limited edition, all the cards drawn are trap cards.
Hayato opened the card pack and reluctantly threw the first three [Explosive Armor] into the system store for recycling on the spot. The fourth card [Riptide Burial] made him quite satisfied, but when he saw the fifth card , Hayato couldn't help but cursed: "I'll go, Ji Kang wins or loses!"
"...By the way, that's how you pronounce it, right?"
Well, in fact, the card Hayato got is called [Jie Xie Victory], which is a normal trap card. The story of the card belongs to the famous warrior card group [Six Samurai], and it tells the story of [General-Purple Flame] ] and his brother [Shadow of the Six Warriors - Purple Flame] fight against each other. The ending of the story is that [General-Purple Flame] was replaced by the Shadow Warrior, and only the remnant soul remained in his armor.
However, the story of the card is actually not too important. The most famous thing about [Jie Xie Victory] in Hayato's previous life was not even its powerful removal effect that targeted not monsters but players, but its ability to assess a person's culture. Level name.
When many people draw this card and use it in a duel, in order not to reveal that their cultural level is insufficient to recognize rare words, they will even deliberately omit the word "Jie Xie" and directly say "activate [win or lose]", but only It makes people feel that he is actually illiterate. He won the duel but gained the status of "illiterate".
Therefore, the card [Jie Xie Victory and Loss] acquired the nickname "Illiteracy Victory".
After putting away [Jie Xie Victory], Hayato used the ur exchange coupon for the second time. This was not the first time that Hayato used the reward of the exchange coupon series. After using the illusory props, a dazzling array of things appeared in front of Hayato's eyes. of cards.
However, the value of the so-called "limited UR" is actually much higher than the redemption coupons Hayato has used before, because ordinary UR redemption coupons can only be exchanged for those "card pool cards" that can be drawn out through card drawing, which is very difficult. Most of the cards can only be obtained by spending DP points in the store. In short, they are very profitable.
But the "limited ur" has lifted this restriction. Hayato saw cards such as [True Red-Eyed Dragoon], [Destroy Phoenix Man], and even [Super Fusion] at a glance. The selling price of these cards in the store is It's very expensive, and it can't be drawn out through normal card drawing.
With the rare restriction lifted, it was impossible for Hayato to exchange this precious opportunity for some urs that could be drawn by ordinary card drawing. His eyes quickly locked on a field magic card with extremely powerful effects.
The last thing I opened was the random demon deck. To be honest, among the cards that Hayato has held so far, he has actually collected a lot of cards from dragons, beasts, warriors, magicians, and machines, but there are very few demons. But the most commonly used [Rainbow Chestnut Ball] is from the demon race.
In line with the mentality that it doesn't matter what he draws for free, Hayato opened the pre-assembled card pack, and was startled by several extremely fierce names that came to him.
Could it be that he was going to release some big boss that would destroy the world?
Even though Hayato had been leading the way for a full day, such palpitations were still lingering in his heart. It wasn't until he saw the destination of his trip from a distance under Alai's reminder that he finally Attention was diverted slightly.
Hayato flipped off the horseback of [Dark Knight-Gaia] and let [Gaia] return to the card to rest. He took a few steps forward, stopped at the edge of the cliff, and looked into the distance.
Although it was covered by dense vines and separated by a short distance, Hayato could notice a "big bump" bulging in the jungle in the distance at a glance, and a pimple appeared on the green-skinned giant's face.
Moreover, without Aleister's guidance, Hayato could feel an awe-inspiring aura shrouding the surrounding forest at all times as he approached the "big bag", which was completely impossible to ignore.
It's not the sense of crisis where the forest is filled with the aura of death, but the feeling of being overlooked and observed by some superior being.
With that momentum, Hayato walked through the jungle while talking to Alai, who had recovered a lot of energy and was floating beside him in the form of a phantom.
"It's such an amazing momentum. I can feel that the real existence has definitely not awakened yet. This feeling now is just the unconscious breathing of the sleeping dragon while it is half asleep and half awake. It is really hard to imagine what it would be like. The presence."
"It's not an exaggeration to call it a god, right?"
Hayato did not deny Alai's view: "Although I had the experience of using elves named 'gods' before coming to this time, and I have faced the power of gods more than once, I have to admit that you are right. Yes, this kind of momentum has truly reached the level of a god."
In the card box on Hayato's waist, the [Ra's Winged Divine Dragon-Sphere] placed here and the [Ra's Winged Divine Dragon-Phoenix] that was specially split in order to make a sound heard Hayato's words and were a little weak. He shouted twice to express his dissatisfaction.
"However, the closer you get, the more you discover. Sure enough, I was only slightly awakened by the fluctuations of the wandering star particles before but not completely awakened. Do you really think I can find help here, Alai?"
"It's Aleister, not Alai, or you can call me Crowley, master." Alai first seriously corrected Hayato's words, and then said casually, "There's nothing better than a try, no. If you come here to try your luck, how do you know if you have a chance?"
"That's what I said, but we still have to find it as soon as possible before the passage opened by the star particles disappears." As Hayato said, his pace through the jungle slowed down a bit, and he stepped through the final step with his legs. After a clump of weeds, he arrived at a clearing in the forest not far from the "big bag".
At the same time that Hayato stopped, he saw several figures walking out from various places in front of him, using the grass behind Hayato as a wall to directly surround him in a semicircle.
A standing, green-skinned lizard warrior wearing metal gauntlets;
The tattered armor on her body makes the soldier look more like a wandering female warrior;
A shirtless warrior with wings on his back and a helmet;
And what seemed to be the leader of the four people blocking the road was a guy who completely covered his body with a cloak.
"It seems that we can't simply reach our destination."
