Summoning a dragon monster burning with blazing flames to his own field, Jack then activated the monster's special effect.

"The special effect of the Dark Red Rising Dragon is activated!"

"When this monster is successfully Synchro Summoned, I can activate this effect by targeting a Resonator monster in my Graveyard. I can Special Summon that monster. Also, during the turn this effect is activated, I cannot Special Summon a Dragon-Type/Dark Synchro Monster from my Extra Deck."

"Come on, wake up from the graveyard for me, Crimson Resonator!"

In an instant, he gathered all the star-adjusting materials needed to launch a counterattack. Under Li Youfeng's guidance, Jack's strength also improved significantly.

However, just as Jack was about to synchronize, something unexpected happened!

The dragon wing mark on his arm suddenly seemed to be ignited, and it burst into a dazzling red light. The light was so strong that Jack's eyes were stinging and he could hardly open them.

After finally recovering from this sudden change, Jack looked carefully and was stunned, because the scene before him was completely different!

The original barren land has disappeared without a trace, replaced by an ancient and magnificent circular arena.

Jack looked around and saw that the arena was surrounded by a circle of stone pedestals carrying huge statues. These stone pedestals looked very old, and the statues on them were lifelike, as if telling of the glory of the past.

However, what puzzled Jack was that there should have been many statues placed on these stone bases. However, now except for the only four remaining dragon statues, the rest have disappeared, leaving only empty stone bases, giving people a weird feeling.

(Note: The last four remaining statues are Red Lotus Demon, Black Wing Dragon, Stardust Flash Dragon, and Life Torrent Dragon!)

"Where is this place?" Jack widened his eyes and looked around in disbelief.

"Carly! Are you here? Carly, if you hear me, answer me quickly!!!"

Jack shouted Carly's name loudly, but unfortunately, no one responded except the echo. However, just when Jack was about to give up and find a way out again, suddenly, a giant dragon statue that looked like a devil suddenly burst into flames.

"Jack Atlas, holder of the Wings of Conquest, you are finally able to come to this place!" With these low and shocking words, Jack turned back suddenly as if struck by lightning, and his eyes fell directly on the dragon statue that seemed to have been resurrected.

Just as he came to his senses, a strong pressure came over him, making him alert. However, when he looked closely, he was surprised to find that a dragon monster that was very similar to his own Red Lotus Demon Dragon was standing quietly in front of him, looking directly at him without any concealment.

This monster was huge, covered with hard scales, and exuded a chilling aura. When its wings were spread, it seemed to cover the entire sky, and its eyes burning with red flames revealed endless majesty and power.

Facing such a powerful being, Jack felt a little fear, but more of it was curiosity and confusion. He stared at the monster in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Who... are you?"

The dragon monster didn't seem to care about Jack's questioning. It just replied in a cold and majestic tone: "I am the embodiment of power and your contracted spirit. King with the wings of conquest, if you still hope to fly high in your heart, then call my name loudly!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the dragon spread its huge wings, and suddenly a red flame erupted from its entire body. The blazing flames were like a volcanic eruption, instantly dyeing the surrounding space red.

Jack was startled by this sudden change. Just as he tried to dodge, the flames seemed to be attracted by the dragon wing seal and quickly gathered together, eventually turning into a brand new card and appearing in Jack's hand!

Swish!

It was as if he had traveled through time and space. When Jack woke up again, he found that he had unknowingly returned to the real world. Glancing at the card that appeared out of thin air in his hand, Jack knew very well that what he had just experienced was not a dream!

Although he had many questions, Jack knew that now was not the time to think about them. He looked up at Kali Nagisa who was standing opposite him, and Jack waved his hand and pointed at the two monsters in front of him.

"The six-star monster Red Lotus Rising Dragon and the two-star monster Crimson Resonator are adjusting their stars!"

(6+2=8)

"Tear apart the pitch-black darkness, burn up the heaven and earth, lofty and absolute king, look down upon all things and be mighty and powerful!"

"Sincro summons, Yanmo Dragon Red Lotus Demon, attack display!" (Attack power 3000 Defense power 2000)

Boom!

The red lotus fire from hell appeared in the center of the duel arena as Jack shouted. With a violent shaking, a burly and ferocious dragon monster appeared in front of him.

"What is this?!"

Unexpectedly, Jack used the power of bond (Inka) to summon a monster that was extremely similar to the Crimson Dragon. Kali Nagisa couldn't help but exclaimed on the spot.

"Carly, let's decide the winner in this round!"

After declaring the end of the duel, Jack first pointed at the giant dragon monster he had just summoned.

"The special effect of the Yanmo Dragon Red Lotus Demon is activated!"

"Once per turn, during your Main Phase, this monster can destroy all other face-up Attack Position monsters on the field. Also, during the turn this effect is activated, monsters other than this monster cannot attack!"

"Take that, the red hellfire!"

"Ow!!!"

A deafening dragon roar resounded through the sky, and as it spread its wings of hell, the Yanmo Dragon Red Lotus Demon controlled the scorching flames and instantly swept across Kali Nagisa's front court. Screams followed, and the girl of destiny, Everly, who was caught in the flames, was blown to pieces on the spot.

"Yanmo Dragon Red Lotus Demon, attack directly!"

Having already made up his mind to die, Jack attacked Carly Nagisa without any hesitation.

"Absolute power and pressure!"

Bang!

"Wow!!!"

After being hit head-on by the Yanmo Dragon Red Lotus Demon, Kali Nagisa was knocked away on the spot with a scream. After all, this monster was Jack's contracted elf, and the power it possessed was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary monsters.

Kali Nagisa LP4000＞1000

"It's all over, Carly. I won't let you be alone on the road to the underworld. Now, I'm here to accompany you!"

Without any hesitation in his eyes, Jack waved his hand and directly launched his backcourt block.

"Trap Card Activate, Shock Wave!" (Original Anime!)

"The effect of this card is to select a face-up monster on the field and destroy it. After that, both players will receive effect damage equal to the ATK points of the destroyed monster. Now, the monster I want to choose is Yanmolong Crimson Demon!"

A scorching wave appeared on the body of the Yanmo Dragon Red Lotus Demon, and the monster was about to explode. At this moment, Kali Nagisa suddenly laughed.

"Jack, this won't do. In my heart, you are the strongest king, so I will never allow you to end up like this."

Jack: “???”

Jack never expected that Kali Nagisa would say such a thing. As Jack looked at him in shock, he saw Kali Nagisa, who had just gotten up from the ground, also opened her backcourt cover.

"Counter Trap Card activated, Thief's Seven Items!"

Pointing to the card that had just been opened on her backfield, Kali Nagisa said with a smile: "The effect of this card is that when a trap card is activated, you can activate the effect of this card by paying 1000 life points. I can invalidate that activation and destroy it!"

After a slight pause of a few seconds, Kali Nagisa looked at Jack with a hint of tenderness and determination in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Jack. Although I am a little willful, this is the fate I have chosen. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I have always wanted to say to you... Jack, I love you."

Jack: “!!!”

Jack didn't expect that Kali Nagisa would cover such a card in the backcourt. He was struck by lightning. He widened his eyes and looked at Kali Nagisa in astonishment, totally unable to believe his ears.

However, before Jack could react, Kali Nagisa had already resolutely executed the effect of the card. As her life points rapidly decreased and finally reached zero, Kali Nagisa's body suddenly trembled, and then she violently spat out a large mouthful of "blood".

"puff!!!"

"NO! CARLY!!!!"

Kali Nagisa LP1000＞0

Watching Kali Nagisa slowly falling backwards with a smile, Jack, who looked like a madman, shouted in grief and anger while running towards Kali Nagisa with all his might.

"Carly, wake up, cheer up!"

Jack's voice echoed in the air, carrying endless anxiety and heartache. His steps staggered, but he did not slow down at all. Finally, when Kali Nagisa was about to fall to the ground, he hugged her tightly in his arms.

Kali Nagisa's body was so light, like a feather, without the slightest weight. Jack felt as if his heart was about to break. He couldn't accept the fact in front of him. Why did he and Kali Nagisa come to this point!

"Jack...is that you? Jack, where are you? It's so strange, why can't I see you?"

Kali Nagisa's voice was as weak as a mosquito, but it hit Jack's heart like a heavy hammer. There were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth, which was the proof of the severe injury she had just suffered, and a lot of sweat oozed from her forehead, making her originally pale face look even more haggard.

"I'm here, Carly, I'm right beside you!" Jack's voice was filled with tears, his eyes were already wet, but he tried hard not to let the tears fall. He gently stroked Carly's face, feeling her weak breathing, his heart filled with anger, reluctance and regret.

Especially when he saw Kali Nagisa's weak appearance, Jack felt as if his heart was being gnawed by millions of ants. He hated himself for facing up to his feelings for Kali Nagisa at this time, and he hated himself even more for not protecting her, causing her to suffer like this.

"I like to support people like Jack who are working hard, but it's because I selfishly prayed for the happiness I wanted that it turned out like this. Ah, now it seems that I must have been punished by God."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. If this is a sin, then I am guilty too!"

"Is that so? Jack, you didn't lie to me?"

"I always speak my mind and never lie! Carly, I love you too, so for our future, you must hold on!"

"Jack~!" Struggling to take out a marriage application form from her pocket, Kali Nagisa "resisted" the "pain" and slowly said, "I heard from Mr. You Feng that unmarried women cannot be reincarnated after death and can only wander around as lonely ghosts."

"Jack, I don't want to die like this, so are you willing to sign this marriage application form and marry me?"

"Yes! Of course I am willing!"

Without any hesitation, Jack quickly took out a carbon pen from his bra pocket and signed his name on the marriage application form.

"Ah~ so happy! Jack, I'm so happy to marry you~ cough cough~!!!" The sweat on her forehead was getting more and more, and after a violent cough, Kali Nagisa gradually "fainted" into a coma.

"Carly, don't leave me!" Seeing his beloved woman becoming visibly weaker, Jack felt heartbroken and could only hold her tightly in his arms.

However, taking advantage of Jack's blind spot, the already "unconscious" Carina quickly folded the just-signed marriage application form with one hand and stuffed it into her pocket.

"Carly! GOOOO! DANG!!!"

Kali Nagisa's "death" was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Jack. He had never expected that Kali Nagisa would do such a stupid thing. Jack's mood instantly fell to the bottom, and endless sadness and pain surged in his heart.

He slowly reached out his hand and gently stroked Kali Nagisa's cheek, as if he could feel her warmth in this way.

Tears fell uncontrollably, dripping onto Kali Nagisa's face and interweaving with her skin. Jack's voice was choked with sobs, and he murmured something that only the two of them could understand.

Driven by emotion, Jack couldn't help but lean over and gently kissed Carrie Nagisa's lips.

This kiss was full of sadness and attachment, as if it was his final farewell to Kali Nagisa.

However, at this moment, an unexpected "accident" happened!

When Jack's lips touched Carina's lips, a strong spicy taste instantly hit Jack, who didn't eat chili peppers, and was caught off guard.
