#444 - Gift

The duel ended, and Hikari Amakage put away his duel disk and walked towards the Taylor sisters.

Grace Taylor was supporting her sister. After a long period of excessive training and high-intensity duels, coupled with using a field like "Death Match Arena" specifically designed to test the mind, she was completely unable to stand.

Hikari Amakage walked over and reached out to help her up.

"Ha, thanks." Gloria wasn't one to be coy. Facing Hikari Amakage's kindness, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

Seeing that she was okay, Hikari Amakage checked the time and prepared to say goodbye.

"Wait—"

Just as Hikari Amakage had turned away a short distance, Gloria suddenly called out to him.

Whoosh—

Hikari Amakage then turned around, his right hand sweeping through the air, catching a card.

He glanced down at it.

Amazoness Warrior.

He looked up at her and asked, "Amazoness Warrior?"

Giving a card with spirit power to someone else wasn't really appropriate, was it?

The Amazoness Warrior's shadow appeared beside Gloria, saying to him, "Hikari Amakage, just accept it. This is what we all want."

The Amazoness Warrior wasn't a very high-level spirit, but as the second strongest "Duel Ceremony" warrior of the Amazoness clan at this critical juncture, she barely possessed two of herself.

The reason she was willing to follow the Taylor sisters was because she saw their passion for the Amazonesses, and also because of her expectations for them—after all, she had always been the Amazonesses' instructor.

And this time, Hikari Amakage enlightened Gloria and influenced Grace, which, in her opinion, was the best lesson.

And if he could draw it on the first turn, it would be even better.

To say nothing else, Hikari Amakage did indeed have three Fusion cards in his deck.

"Then thank you, Gloria—" Hikari Amakage turned to leave.

"Wait—"

Gloria called out to Hikari Amakage again.

?

Hikari Amakage looked back at her in confusion.

Gloria took a deep breath, a forced smile on her face, and said, "Do you remember? What we talked about last time?"

Last time—

Hikari Amakage's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Beside him, Tierra spread out her hands and said to him, "The agreement you made with these two humans last time at the Amazoness camp, that as long as you kept winning against them, they would be willing to promote your [Fusion] ideas or something."

Again, Tierra might be slow to improve in dueling, but her memory was absolutely strong.

Hikari Amakage actually remembered this, but he didn't think it was necessary to bring it up at this moment.

Because after just one duel, he could feel that the current Taylor sisters were definitely not the kind of people who would hunt duelists in different schools and turn them into cards just because they were bored.

So there was no need to bring this up in this atmosphere.

"Do you know… the Gladiator Beast Dimension—"

Hikari Amakage's eyes widened suddenly.

"Could it be—"

Gloria gently rubbed her head against Grace's, and Grace felt in her pocket, took out a card, and casually tossed it in front of Hikari Amakage.

Hikari Amakage immediately caught the card.

Gladiator Beast Dimension!

The homeland that Gyzarus had always wanted to return to—

Also the dimension where Hikari Amakage could no longer find new cards after that.

"This is the Gladiator Beast hidden force's dimension. Even during the raid on the Xyz Dimension, the Gladiator Beast force didn't participate in the war immediately, so their power reserves, preparations, and number of personnel are the most complete," Gloria said slowly. "I know you've been trying to destroy Professor Akaba's organization. This should be very useful to you, right?"

Hikari Amakage nodded.

"Thank you, Gloria. This is very important to me."

Hikari Amakage picked up the Emerald Tablet at his waist, carefully placed the card inside, and then gently closed it.

He waved to the two sisters, and then finally left.

Watching Hikari Amakage's departing figure, Gloria finally seemed to deflate completely.

"Why didn't you call him again, Gloria?" Grace asked softly.

"Grace?!" Gloria called out her sister's name in embarrassment.

Grace didn't care about such things. She gently helped her sister onto a chair, then twirled her hair, thinking, "If we told him at this time that we also wanted to join the Fusion Club, he would definitely welcome us. Then we could always be by his side, watching him duel.

That's what you think too, right, Gloria?"

"Grace!!"

Gloria nudged her sister gently with her shoulder.

Honestly, Gladiator Beasts were a highly valued project within the Fusion Army. Ever since the Gladiator Beasts failed to attack Hikari Amakage, all special units using Gladiator Beasts had been gradually reduced in size. Later, in the academy, the only duelists who could use Gladiator Beasts were those teachers who were willing to follow Akaba Reiji.

The higher-ups of the Fusion Army were well aware of the power of Gladiator Beasts, so Gladiator Beast cards were basically strictly guarded—similarly, because the spirits of Gladiator Beasts were very suitable as soldiers for control, training, and enslavement, the Fusion Army also took great care of this living force of Gladiator Beasts.

Strictly speaking, if they could find the location of the Gladiator Beast training ground, then they wouldn't be far from the Fusion Army's real "base."

By telling Hikari Amakage such a secret, the two of them would definitely be targeted by the official forces of the Fusion Army in the future, and might even be hunted down.

Compared to an "external enemy" like Hikari Amakage, they, as "traitors", might even face more hostility within the Fusion Army.

They might be attacked by assassin units. Although with their combat power, it wouldn't be so easy to take them down, they also knew that the Fusion Army was like a parasite, forever attached to flesh and blood.

Hikari Amakage actually knew this.

That's why he didn't proactively bring up related matters after this duel.

However, since Gloria had given him this information, he wouldn't waste this kindness.

As of today, Hikari Amakage only had one "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos", and Gyzarus had always been worried about his friends and partners. Now that he had finally obtained this information, perhaps he could explore other Gladiator Beast cards in that place.
