Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

Golden lightning bolts then fell, completely crushing the demon. At the same time, the stone slabs on the ground shattered and collapsed, and endless black energy rose up, but was quickly obliterated by the slowly brightening sunlight.

Between the dilapidated royal palace, the majestic Sky Dragon of Osiris soared in the sky.

Wang Yang looked down at the millennium-old building blocks on his chest, his heart filled with excitement and joy.

Just now, at the most critical moment, a part of his sealed memories was suddenly unlocked. He not only obtained a mysterious item, but also gained a large amount of experience!

It was that extra experience that allowed him to successfully level up and possess the soul to summon the three Egyptian Gods!

At this moment, Wang Yang seemed to understand something about this dark RPG game.

One's own strength comes from lost memories.

The more memories he recovers, the stronger he becomes!

In this way, once he finds his true name, he will possess supreme power enough to destroy Bakura!

Therefore, his goal of victory is equivalent to finding the king's name!

Golden sunlight shone on the gleaming, millennia-old building blocks. Wang Yang smiled gently, silently thinking, "Thank you, partner..."

"Ha!! That scared me to death!!" Honda, who had been slacking off, wiped the sweat from his forehead. As a melee Barbarian, he really hadn't been able to help at all.

Kyoko couldn't help but complain, "You didn't do anything at all!"

"That's what makes it scary!" Honda said, leaning on his wooden stick. "If we all lose like this, won't I become a sinner?!"

In the royal palace, everyone who had just experienced a great battle went back to recuperate, while Honda, full of energy, helped with cleaning up the battlefield and repairing the palace...

Meanwhile, in the distant Valley of the King's Long Sleep, Yugi Muto and his companions, who were preparing to continue their search for the tomb before dawn, spotted a familiar figure on a distant hill. The person was riding a horse towards them, shouting loudly.

"Hey!! Game!! Jonouchi!!!"

Jonouchi exclaimed in surprise, "It's Honda!!"

Kong Quewu asked, somewhat puzzled, "What...what is he doing here?"

Honda rushed up to the three of them, pulled on the reins, and stopped. "The other game heard you were in danger and immediately sent me. Anyway, the battles over there are all between spirits and monsters, and as a melee class, I can't really help much, so I just came to lend a hand. With my strength, maybe I can push open some of the sealed tomb doors~"

Yugi Muto and the other two were overjoyed. None of them were combat professionals, so they had previously encountered a situation where their combat strength was insufficient. With Honda's addition, they would be able to better deal with any enemy ambushes ahead.

As the sun gradually rose, the group began searching for Wang Yang's tomb based on their memories of the real world.

When no one noticed, the seemingly normal Honda suddenly revealed a sinister, wicked smile, a smile that was exactly like Bakura's...

Chapter 303 White Dragon

The two great disasters that occurred in succession in the royal city plunged the king and the priests into a deep anxiety.

Clearly, their opponent's strength far exceeded their expectations. Relying solely on the stone tablets left behind in the temple, they had no way of defeating the terrifying monsters summoned by Bakura.

Although the Pharaoh gained the power to summon gods after that battle, the responsibility of protecting the royal city could not fall entirely on his shoulders; the other priests needed to have even greater fighting power.

At noon, the priest and Youche and the others awoke from their beds. Time was of the essence, and the royal city could be threatened at any moment. They had no time to sleep for long. After a short rest to recover some energy, they each set off to do their own thing.

In order to find even more powerful monsters, Priest Set and Yu Che set off together on a journey to find the elves, while the rest of the group stayed in the royal city to analyze Bakura's next move.

Gazing at the thick black fog on the sand table, Wang Yang frowned, silently recalling everything that had happened before dawn.

Because Yugi Muto and the others successfully completed the mission, he not only unlocked a portion of his memories but also obtained an item—an ancient golden mask.

When King Yu received the mask, he knew its effect: in times of crisis, he could use it to summon the Pharaoh's guardian deity, Hassan!

Hassan has no offensive capabilities, but his defensive capabilities are unparalleled. If necessary, he could probably even block one or two attacks from the Demon King.

Compared to the props, the memories that were originally sealed away also made Wang Yang understand some things. By peeling back the layers of information in the royal library, the priests gradually discovered Aknadin's original hidden secrets.

The methods for forging the Millennium Artifacts are all written in a Millennium Magic Book. For years, this book has been secretly kept by Akhenaten in a secret room of the Royal Library. Now, Akhenaten has fled to an unknown place, and everyone has the opportunity to come into contact with the Millennium Magic Book. Through reading the words on it, some dark secrets that were previously unknown to others are gradually being revealed.

It turns out that the seven artifacts held by the priests were forged using the lives of an entire village. Because they were imbued with powerful resentment and dark energy, these seven artifacts were given special powers, and at the same time, they awakened the demon sleeping in the abyss of the world—Zork!

If all seven Millennium Items are gathered and placed in the stone tablets used to forge them, it will bring about the descent of Zorc, at which point a terrible catastrophe will befall them...

From this, Wang Yu deduced that Bakura's goal for victory should be destruction and revenge. Now that he possessed the power to summon the Egyptian Gods, he had no choice but to seek even greater power. In this world, perhaps only Zorc could rival the Egyptian Gods. Therefore, Bakura's next objective must be to collect all the Millennium Items and unlock Zorc's seal!

Thinking of the disaster brought about by the Millennium Artifact, Wang Yang couldn't help but recall his father, who only existed in his memories.

The late king was a benevolent ruler who was completely unaware of the consequences of the Millennium Artifact. Therefore, in order to save his people, he granted permission to his younger brother, Akhenaten, to carry out his plan.

After learning everything, he was filled with remorse and even begged his clan to let all the calamities befall him alone...

In his memory, the relentless thunderclaps echoed repeatedly in his mind. Wang Yang frowned, determined to defeat Bakura and seal the Millennium Treasure. He could not let his father's sacrifice be in vain!

Wang Yang gazed at the black mist spreading across the sand table, searching for Bakura's whereabouts as much as possible. The royal city had been passively accepting attacks all along, and Wang Yang knew very well that to win, he had to take the initiative into his own hands!

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had just obtained the three Egyptian Gods and that Bakura did not yet have stronger power to launch a preemptive strike. Now was the time when he and the priests were at their strongest. If they could defeat Bakura in one fell swoop, they would win this dark RPG game!

Wang Yang shifted his gaze back to the Millennium Magic Book and some historical records. He concluded that Bakura's final destination must be the village that was refined back then, because that village contained a large number of dead souls and resentment, and also held the stone tablets used to unseal Zorc!

He made a decision in his heart: once the priest Set and the elf messenger Youche returned, they would launch a full-scale attack to destroy the stone tablet!

The sound of galloping hooves rose rapidly along the Royal City Avenue!

Yu Che and Seth, who looks remarkably like Seto Kaiba, led their troops out.

Priest Set was bewildered. He only knew that he needed to find more powerful spirits, but he didn't know what kind of spirits he should look for.

But You Che understood perfectly well that if they wanted to gain powerful combat strength, they had to find the legendary White Dragon!

In the world three thousand years ago, Blue-Eyes White Dragon was a spirit that could rival the gods because its energy came from a special yet great emotion. In the present world, the reason why White Dragon is not as powerful as the three Egyptian God cards is because Pegasus split White Dragon into four cards, dispersing its power. But even so, Blue-Eyes White Dragon is still the top existence among Duel Monsters.

"Thief!! Thief!!!"

The team exploring the elves was charging forward when suddenly a shout from the residents came from ahead.

The word "thief" was particularly terrifying to everyone who had experienced the events of the past two days. Seth tensed up, thinking that Bakura had returned. But upon closer inspection, he realized that it was just a prisoner from some unknown foreign land who had just stolen a money bag and was preparing to escape.

Priest Seth sneered, "Hmph! A criminal? Perfect! Before finding the elves, let's warm up with the darkness in this guy's heart! Guards!! Seize him!!!"

With a shout, several soldiers rushed forward, pinned the prisoner to the ground, and returned the stolen goods to their rightful owner. Then, a priest wielding the ancient scales of heaven jumped off his horse and pointed the divine weapon at the prisoner's forehead.

"O Scales of the Millennium! Reveal the darkness within this person's heart!!"

As he spoke, he closed his eyes, and the artifact in his hand lit up. The criminal's incredibly dark mental space appeared in his mind, with streams of dark energy constantly converging and gradually transforming into a gaunt human figure. The shadow continued to twist and turn, eventually becoming a hideous and evil clown!

“Priest Set, the darkness in this man’s heart may not be that powerful, but it has value to be exploited,” the priest carrying the Millennium Scales said slowly. “The demon within him is the Dark Clown, Zachi!”

Priest Set smiled slightly: "Heh, Zaki? Not bad. Take him back to the palace! Then, according to the ritual, seal the darkness within him into the stone tablet!!"

"No!! You can't do this to me!!!" the criminal struggled and shouted, "I'm protected by Bai Long! How dare you treat me like this? Bai Long will punish you!!!"

White Dragon?!

Priest Seth was startled, his heart filled with shock.

A memory from his youth unfolded in his mind, and a magnificent white dragon spread its wings deep within his heart.

Seeing Seth's stunned expression, the criminal grew even more smug: "Heh! Scared now! Last time, someone tried to harm me, and the White Dragon killed them all!! If you dare to disrespect me, the same fate will befall you!!!"

It seems... we've reached that part of the story.

You Che didn't say anything, but just watched quietly from the side.

In the original story, what the criminal said was true, but the white dragon did not appear to protect him; he just happened to save him.

As for Seth and the White Dragon... that's another story.

As a young boy, Seth encountered a group of thieves during a training exercise. The thieves kidnapped a girl with blue eyes and white hair and planned to sell her. Seeing this, the righteous young Seth secretly released the girl.

As the two fled on horseback, they got to know each other. It turned out that the girl was an orphan named Kisara. Because Egypt had always regarded red skin and white hair as demons, Kisara, who had silver-white hair, had lived a life of hardship since birth. As for Set, his father died in battle when he was very young, and he had grown up almost alone.

And so, the two naive boys experienced the most unforgettable encounter of their lives. But not long after, the group of thieves discovered something was amiss. Instead of chasing Seth, they massacred the village where Seth's family lived.

When Seth said goodbye to Kisara and returned home, the entire village had been burned to the ground and turned into a hellish place. The towering flames and the blood on the ground were horrifying to him. In order to save his mother, who was his only companion in life and death, Seth rushed into the fire without hesitation, but what awaited him were those evil thieves.

Although young Seth was more skilled in martial arts than the other children, he still couldn't defeat so many villains by himself. He was quickly knocked to the ground, and after being punched one after another, a gleaming silver sword was hanging over his head.

The thieves questioned him about Kisara's whereabouts, but Seth gritted his teeth and refused to tell them. He would rather die than tell them. Enraged, the thieves prepared to kill him with a single blow. Just then, a silvery-white light shone from the sky above the burning village. Everyone looked up and saw a magnificent white dragon flying in the air.

The thieves were terrified by the divine manifestation, and by the time they tried to escape, it was all over.

The white dragon unleashed a fierce wind and destructive light, and after killing the group of villains, it quietly disappeared into the night...

This experience left an indelible mark on Seth. When he heard the name "White Dragon" again, he thought of Kisara and saw the hope of defeating Bakura.

In his memory, the white dragon was more powerful than any monster or elf he had ever seen since. Perhaps with the white dragon, Diaband would never be a match for him again!

Priest Seth pondered for a moment, then yanked the criminal up from the ground. He didn't believe the man's story, because it was the White Dragon who killed the thief years ago, and the White Dragon, a symbol of light, would never save the life of an evil person: "When was the last time you saw the White Dragon! Where was it! Tell me!!"

"Hehehe, are you scared now?" the villain laughed smugly. "That happened a month ago. If you're scared, then let me go!"

Priest Seth frowned, his powerful right hand loosening and gripping the prisoner's collar before moving to choke him: "I'll give you one more chance, talk now!!!"

Priest Seth's eyes were filled with coldness and murderous intent. Seeing this terrifying expression, the criminal finally realized that the priest was not afraid of the white dragon; on the contrary, he was going to find the white dragon!

"I, I..." The criminal was so frightened that he couldn't speak. His clenched throat made a gurgling sound. He wanted to speak but didn't know how to answer. He had only seen the white dragon once, so how would he know how to find it again?

Just then, a commotion arose from the street not far ahead, where a group of residents had formed a circle, seemingly doing something.

Priest Seth frowned, threw the criminal to the ground and ordered his men to arrest him, then strode over. Youche watched all this silently, knowing that Seth would soon see the person he wanted to see, and that he didn't need to interfere.

In the middle of the street, residents were cursing loudly. They threw rotten vegetable leaves and eggs at a weaker woman in the crowd. The woman had white hair and blue eyes. It was because of her white hair and snow-white skin that she was regarded as the incarnation of a demon!

After the Bakula incident, the people of the royal city were in a state of panic. Some residents suspected that the demons planted by Bakula had infiltrated the crowd. When they saw this woman with demonic symbols, they naturally wouldn't let her go.

Priest Seth walked in with a serious expression, wanting to see what had happened. But when he saw the woman lying on the ground, covered in wounds, he was stunned and froze on the spot, because this woman was none other than the girl he had saved when he was a child—Kisara!

Yu Che and the priest wielding the Millennium Scales arrived together. With the help of the Millennium Item, the priest saw Kisara's heart, which was filled with an incredibly powerful white dragon. However, it was not a demon, but an elf!

Because the Scales of a Thousand Years would tremble incessantly when encountering dark forces, but this time, the Scales were perfectly stable, which indicates that there is no darkness in the woman's heart.

When the priest Seth appeared, the residents stopped their beating and cursing.

Without saying a word, the priest Set walked into the crowd and picked up the white-haired girl from the ground.

"Priest Seth?!"

"She...she's the embodiment of evil!!"

Everyone was utterly shocked.

Priest Seth didn't want to argue. He looked at Kisara in his arms, his brows furrowing slightly.

As the spirit user, Youche addressed the residents, "She is not a demon. If she were, the Millennium Artifact would have reacted just now. The dynasty will handle this matter; you need not concern yourselves with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, time and space seemed to stand still, and a golden die floated out from Youche's hand.
