Chapter 337 Virgil's Ritual
"Bai Tu? Why are you here?"
Zhang Ji was extremely surprised, but when he looked at the white cluster in front of him, he felt an indescribable sense of strangeness.
If you only look at his face, this person is undoubtedly Bai Chu, but the clothes he wears are a toga-style robe wrapped in white cloth, and he wears a golden laurel crown on his head. The flowing black short hair in his memory has become slightly curly, like a philosopher who can recite classic poems at any time.
"Bai Chu, what's with your strange clothes? You know what, you seem to have quite a bit of elegance."
The White Cluster calmly shook his head and said, "Dante, you have lost yourself in hell and forgotten your mission. I am here to guide you to meet your beloved goddess, Beatrice's mentor, Virgil, not the White Cluster."
"What did you call me just now? Dante?" Zhang Ji pointed at himself in confusion: "I'm still Dante C, what nonsense."
Bai Chu shook his head in disappointment. "It seems that you are stuck in the mire and can't extricate yourself. You even reject yourself from embracing the truth of light. I have no choice but to take you to reincarnate again and cleanse you of all worldly desires."
"Wait, wait, stop joking, Bai Chu, this joke is not funny at all." Zhang Ji said anxiously: "Tell me where this is? How do we get back to the Academy Island?"
"Bai Chu" waved his hand, and a gate of hell rose behind him. Behind the gate, flames billowed, and the sound of countless ghosts howling, wailing, and cursing was heard. Zhang Ji couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and he instantly got goose bumps all over his body.
"Dante, after crossing the gates of hell, you will return to hell again, but you will lose your memory of your previous life and start your life anew. You must not forget your mission in this life, otherwise you will be lost in hell forever and lose the qualification to ascend to heaven."
"Bai Chu wouldn't speak in such a mysterious way. Are you really not Bai Chu?" Zhang Ji retreated again and again, but where could he retreat to? Unless he faced the three beasts behind him, he could only move forward.
"You said your name is Virgil and I'm Dante, so you won't hurt me, right?" Zhang Ji held his breath, "You said I forgot my mission, so tell me, what is my mission?"
"Dante, I'm really happy that you're willing to turn back from your wrong path." Virgil's serious expression relaxed a lot:
"You are the messenger sent by the goddess to the chaotic hell. Therefore, your mission is to classify all the evil souls in hell according to their crimes, send them to a deeper level of hell, reshape the order of that world, and judge all sins."
"Okay, okay, I already understand my mission." Zhang Ji nodded perfunctorily and said, "Please send me back to my original world. I want to fulfill my mission."
Virgil paused and continued, "Dante, your soul is still blinded by evil. If you want to go back to Hell, you must erase everything in the past and reincarnate again. Otherwise, you will be lost in Hell and lose all connection with the spiritual world."
"Please forgive me. I'm really not Dante. I'm just an ordinary poor student in the Duel Academy. If you let me go back, and I see the Dante you mentioned, I'll tell him that you're waiting for him to come home for dinner, okay? Why do you have to pick on a loser like me?"
"It seems that you have been assimilated by the evil spirits, Dante. It really pains me to see you fall to this state."
Virgil waved his hand and a duel disk appeared on his arm. "Come on, Dante, fight with me. Either you awaken your true self in the ceremony, or everything in your past is erased and you return to your original nature."
"Why are you so stubborn?" Zhang Ji pointed at the white-faced man in front of him angrily. He wanted to curse him, but at the moment, perhaps a duel was the only way for them to communicate effectively with each other.
I don’t know what will happen if I lose this duel. Will I die?
Zhang Ji took out the deck, stared at it for a few seconds, and then resolutely put it into the duel disk: "Anyway, there is no way out now. Let's fight hard. There is still a glimmer of hope. Let's do it!"
"Duel!" "Duel!"
"I'll attack first!" Virgil spoke slowly but moved very quickly, taking out a card from his hand. "When there are no Magic or Trap Cards on my field, I can Special Summon this monster from my hand."
"Wait, the conditions for this special summoning are..." Zhang Ji looked at Virgil's actions and suddenly his expression froze.
"I choose to Special Summon a monster from my hand, [Prisoner of the Other Shore_Chambero] (Dark/★3/Demon/Effect/500/1500)"
"You are also using the Hierarchy deck? The same as mine?" Zhang Ji looked at Virgil with a strange expression: "But the monster he is using is a card I have never seen before. What effect will it have?"
Zhang Ji thought Virgil's turn was still long, but he just continued to cover a monster on the field and two magic and trap cards in the backfield, and ended his turn.
"Dante, think about yourself. This will be your only way to heaven. The goddess Beatrice's hopes and preference for you have never stopped, but you have failed her love for you."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Zhang Ji covered his ears impatiently. "Why do you keep talking nonsense that I can't understand? I don't want to have anything to do with you and Beatrice. If I win this duel, you let me return to my real world! It's my turn, draw a card!"
"Dante, during your Standby Phase, I activate the Face Up Card, a Normal Trap Card, Virtual World. This card can be activated by selecting 1 Field Spell Card from your Deck and adding it to your hand or placing it on your field.
I choose to activate the Field Spell Card from my deck, [The Other Shore's Execution Ground - Boiling Asphalt Pool].
The scene where both parties were located began to change. Zhang Ji and Virgil stood at the two ends of a dilapidated stone bridge. The surrounding environment was gloomy and terrifying, just like a scene from hell.
Below the stone bridge was a vast black swamp. A hot air current came from under his feet and bubbles were gurgling inside the swamp. Zhang Ji looked closely and found that the huge swamp was actually boiling asphalt.
Of Virgil's two monsters, one is shown on the inside and has been completely submerged in the asphalt pool and has disappeared, while Champollo is struggling painfully in the asphalt pool. Although the asphalt is tearing his skin and causing his flesh to rot, he still wants to break free from the dire water.
"Is this what it looks like when sinners are punished in hell?"
"While the Field Spell Card [Boiling Asphalt Pool] is on the field, Dante, neither you nor I can Special Summon a Level 4 or higher monster. Also, with the exception of Xyz monsters, neither you nor I can Special Summon a monster from the Extra Deck."
"Block my Ritual Summoning? But I didn't draw the Ritual Magic Card, [Beyond Good and Evil], nor did I draw the Ritual Monster, [Demon of the Other Shore_Mala Blanca],
Without the ritual summon, my deck would be leaderless. His monsters don't look difficult to defeat, with a defense of only 1500. I just don't know if there are any traps in it?"
After thinking for a while with his not-so-bright brain, Zhang Ji made up his mind: "Although I can't perform ritual summoning, I can still perform super summoning. I know you deliberately tempted me to do this, Virgil, don't look down on me!
When there are no Magic or Trap Cards on your field, this monster can be Special Summoned from your hand. Come out! [The Devil of the Other Shore_Carcabrina] (Dark/★3/Demon/Effect/1400/0)
After that, I summoned another monster, [Devil of the Other Shore_Arikino] (Dark/★3/Demon/Effect/1200/0)
The summoning conditions are 3-star monster x2. I stack [The Devil of the Other Shore_Carcabrina] and [The Devil of the Other Shore_Arikino] on the field, build a stacking network with 2 monsters, and Xyz Summon! "
Virgil witnessed the two evil spirits transform into black balls of light, circling each other and ascending into the sky, before rushing into the vortex of supermassiveness in the sky one after another. His eyes suddenly lit up, and his face was filled with anticipation.
"Come out, Rank 3, [Mecha Angel_Engine Soldier] (Light/☆3/Angel/Extreme/Effect/1800/1000)"
Virgil shook his head in disappointment, muttering to himself, "No, that's not the correct answer."
