After Yuji opened the treasure chest, a faint blue light flashed, and two metal rings appeared in Yuji's hands.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the UR reward: Rings of Reginald (bind after use)]
[After using the Rings of Reginald (affinity: 15%), you can unlock [Number 32: Shark Drake] and its accessory deck]
[Detected Rings of Reginald: The random card pack in the specified field has unlocked the shark field]
[Warning! Using this item will have an irreversible impact on the host's subsequent tasks]
Just as Yuji wanted to study this new item carefully, a series of system warnings kept ringing in his mind, so he had no choice but to give up.
"First it was Kaito, now it's Shark, who's next? Are you doing fan service?" Yuji put the ring into the system backpack and couldn't help complaining.
"However, this thing does solve an urgent need." Yuji looked toward the emergency room with its door still closed.
Sugihara Yasuo's deck had been checked by Yuji just now. After the entity attached to him was eliminated by [Utopia], the possessed monsters in the deck also reverted to their original forms. Now Yasuo's deck is just a pile of miscellaneous cards.
With this item, Sugihara Yasuo could at least recover some combat power after waking up.
After a while, the underground duelist corps from Sanjuku District rushed back one after another.
"How's boss?" Reynold looked anxiously at the emergency room window, but after being driven away by the nurse, Reynold turned to glare at Yuji viciously:
"Was it you? Boss was carried back without going to the fusion dogs' territory this time. Did you do this?"
"Uh... how should I put it? It seems I really did." Yuji smiled awkwardly.
"Damn it... you bastard!" Reynold was about to lose his temper when Renjiro stopped him.
"Reynold, stop, show some respect to our new leader!" Renjiro said seriously.
"New leader?" Yuji was at a loss.
"Aren't you going to use Sanjuku District as the stronghold for the resistance army of the entire XYZ dimension? I agree to this on behalf of boss." Renjiro said.
"But boss, this..." Reynolds looked at Renjiro hesitantly.
Renjiro ignored Reynold and looked directly at Yuji : "You defeated boss. According to the rules of Sanjuku District, you are the new boss here. I've already guessed what you want to do—the 739 duelists in Sanjuku District will obey your orders from today on."
"Is that so? Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll bring others in. Please make preparations." Yuji said.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Renjiro asked puzzled.
"After all, there are tens of thousands of people. If we allow the fusion soldiers to react, the journey won't be so smooth." Yuji said.
"I understand." Renjiro nodded, then said to Reynold beside him, "Reynold, you go with the leader."
"Me?" Reynold, who hadn't yet fully accepted the reality, came to his senses when Renjiro mentioned him, wearing a reluctant expression on his face.
"Boss hasn't woken up yet, I'm not going anywhere."
"Don't make trouble, this is an order." Renjiro said with a serious face.
...
At the same time, Fusion Headquarters.
A certain silver-haired man in a cloak was currently furious in the conference room.
"What are you all good for? You cause me such massive losses when I go back to the academy to report on my work?"
The silver-haired man slammed the table, and the fusion dimension elites below remained silent.
"What did I tell you before I left? Don't act on your own, don't act on your own! The result? You couldn't wait as soon as I left?"
"Acting on your own would be one thing. With a force of 20,000 troops, you lost 5,000 people in one night against a Spade Academy whose chief is missing. Even if they were 20,000 pigs, you couldn't lose 5,000 pigs in one night!" The silver-haired man, unable to control his anger any longer, casually picked up the water glass on the table and threw it.
The cup shattered heavily on the ground, and the fusion dimension elite being scolded below felt his heart tighten.
"Most importantly, you actually let them escape?"
"Sir, this operation was decided privately by the Gloria sisters and has nothing to do with us." Among those being scolded, a tough-minded person couldn't help but speak out.
"Nothing to do with you?" The silver-haired man shouted angrily when he heard this. "What a good way to shirk responsibility. I don't care if you had anything to do with it—all cadres who stayed behind are demoted. You trash, get out of here now!"
"Yes!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this and hurried out of the meeting room.
"This bunch of trash..." The silver-haired man gritted his teeth as he watched his subordinates flee.
After everyone left, the silver-haired man took out a card that was only half intact, wearing a gloomy expression on his face.
"Sakaki Yusho..."
After a brief pause, the silver-haired man walked out of the conference room and called his secretary.
"Get me a car, I'm going out for a drive." The silver-haired man said.
...
Under the starry sky, two figures trudged through the ruins of Heartland. They were Yuji Itadori and Reynold.
"By the way, do we really have to walk back like this?" Reynold asked, wiping the sweat off his brow.
"What choice do we have? My car was destroyed by your second boss and can't even be repaired, and the cars in your camp can't be fixed in time." Yuji said.
At that moment, the sound of a speeding car came from the distance, and the two were startled, hurriedly finding a corner to hide in.
Apart from members of the Obelisk Legion, the possibility of anyone else being able to drive around current Heartland was very low. The two decided to observe the situation first.
Soon, a car bearing the Obelisk Legion logo stopped not far from their hiding place, and a person stepped out.
"Only one person, should we..." Upon seeing this, Reynold looked at Yuji and whispered, simultaneously making a throat-slitting gesture.
"Don't move..." Yuji stopped Reynold. "Listen to me, go to the temporary camp location I mentioned before and bring people here."
"He's alone..." Reynold was somewhat confused.
"He's not an ordinary person, go quickly, this is an order." Yuji recognized the person by the faint moonlight and told Reynold with a serious face. "I'll hold him here, you go bring people over, don't let him escape."
"Okay." Reynold nodded, changed direction, and tiptoed toward the address Yuji had given him.
After Reynold left, Yuji took out an Obelisk Legion uniform he had kept from the system backpack and changed into it, then grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and wiped it on his face before making a small noise.
"Who's there!" The response from that direction was very quick.
When Yuji heard this, he quickly emerged, lowering his head and raising his hands.
The silver-haired man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Obelisk Legion outfit on Yuji , but frowned again when he saw his disheveled appearance.
"Which unit do you belong to?"
"Reporting sir! Obelisk Third Legion, from the cooking squad!"
