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

One night, the whispers of an evil god came from the Millennium Eye, and anyone who obtained the Millennium Eye could make a wish.

Akhenaten thought of his wife and children far away in the village, and of his son, a gifted man whose talents were buried in obscurity. Suddenly, a terrible thought crossed his mind: to make Set reach the position he deserved, that is, to become the Pharaoh!

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Akhenaten broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know why he had such a thought, but soon his heart was consumed by darkness, and he finally made this wish to the evil god.

Later, Akhenaten, under the control of the evil god, secretly carried out a clandestine mission. As the head of the royal library, he used his authority to block all news about the Millennium Artifact and the village. However, he did not expect that there was a surviving child from the village that was massacred years ago. He worked his way up step by step to become the feared King of Thieves and began his revenge against the royal city. That child was none other than Bakura!

Decades of memories flooded Aknadin's mind in an instant. When he learned of what he had done, tears of remorse streamed down his face. He had no time to explain, and he knew there was no point in explaining.

Those sins should be borne by him.

“Seth…”

Aknadin looked one last time at his son not far away, and seeing Seth's current state, he felt a great sense of relief.

As a father, he was already very content that his son had become a priest.

What Seth is most proud of is that he has always upheld the justice in his heart.

"well……"

Aknadin closed his eyes and collapsed onto the endless yellow sand of the training ground.

King Yu and the many priests were filled with mixed emotions upon witnessing Akhenaten's passing, especially his attendant Simon, who knew Akhenaten best. If it weren't for the darkness hidden within the Millennium Items, he certainly wouldn't have met such an end.

The main force returned to the royal city. After the battle, Kisara had barely mastered the power to transform into a spirit. Yugi decided that after one last hour of preparation, they would launch a decisive battle against Bakura!

In the dimly lit room, You Che sat silently on the bed.

The golden arm armor on his arm had dimmed slightly, and one of the markings symbolizing the dark magic had disappeared.

Hemotti...

He shielded himself from two fatal attacks.

The first time was divine punishment.

The second time was just now.

In this dark RPG game, the death of any character is real, meaning that what just happened was not an illusion.

You Che felt extremely guilty. He clenched his fists and made a decision.

Once this dark RPG game is over, he's determined to go to the Elf Realm!

He couldn't let Hermoti's sacrifice be in vain. As Hermoti's superior, Youche felt he had failed in many ways!

He didn't know how long the Dark Mage would slumber within the stone slab, but he would definitely stay by its side until Hemerty awoke!

Youche hasn't yet mastered the means to travel to the Elf Realm, but he has seen the six Disruptors and Ido Bogos open the portal to the Elf Realm. As long as he has enough Elf power, he will definitely be able to reach that place. Moreover, he has also gained the approval of Sleeping Giant Gudu.

As the messenger of the Sleeping Giant Gudu, he certainly has the qualifications to go to the Elf Realm!!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Youche looked up and saw Priest Mahad standing outside the door.

Now, Mahad's memories from three thousand years ago and the present world have merged, and he recalls everything that happened in the present world, so he naturally recognizes Youche and Hemoti.

“I am equally saddened by what happened to Hemoti.” Mahad walked over and sat down next to Youche, sighing softly, his heart heavy.

You Che asked, "Mahad, do you know how to get to the Elf Realm?"

Mahad paused, then nodded. "Yes, three thousand years ago, after the Pharaoh's soul was sealed away, I remained in the elven realm until the Pharaoh reappeared, at which point I came to the mortal world. I know how to open the passage to the elven realm, Youche, could it be that you intend to..."

“That’s right,” You Che said. “Hemoti said that dark magicians will not really perish. Their souls are stored in the stone tablets of the Magic Temple in the Elf Realm. I don’t know if I can help him awaken ahead of time, but if I can, I want to stay with him until he awakens.”

“I understand,” Mahad agreed. “I will help you, Youche. But now we face a huge problem: how to deal with Bakula.”

“Both you and I have memories of events from three thousand years ago, and so does Bakura.”

"After our previous encounters, he must be able to predict some of our next moves."

"Then a more comprehensive plan is needed to defeat him."

"However... Bakula is just too unpredictable..."

After thinking for a moment, You Che said, "Mahad, I have an idea."

Mahathir looked at the chariot.

“We now have six Millennium Artifacts in our hands,” Youche said. “If the entire army is mobilized, and something unexpected happens, Bakura can obtain all the artifacts and break the seal on the evil god.”

"Therefore, my idea is to leave behind a priest and a thousand-year-old artifact."

"In that case, even if Bakula succeeds, we will still have room to maneuver."

Mahad pondered, "But which one should we keep? The Millennium Scales can fuse the powers between monsters, the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom can guide the way and is very important for finding Bakura, the Millennium Puzzle is one of the sources of the Pharaoh's soul power, the Millennium Jewelry is similar to the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, and as for Set's Millennium Scepter, it is a key item used to seal monsters on the stone tablet."

"If I really have to say..."

"Perhaps only the Millennium Key is suitable to be left behind; it is a tool used to peer into the darkness and open the door to the heart."

Chapter 308 Schemes

"Quick-Play Spell Card - Time Leap!!"

In the dark tunnel, Yugi Muto is engaged in a fierce duel with Bakura's clone!

Using the combo achieved by the two Trap Cards, Bakura unleashed 3,000 points of effect damage on Yugi Muto. Once this damage takes effect, it will instantly deplete Yugi Muto's LP!

This is a dark duel; the loser will die!

Moreover, Yugi Muto and his companions are connected to the key to this dark game—the King's Name!!

If they can't defeat Bakura, then this dark game will likely never end!

"Whoosh——————————————"

With the crucial card played, Yugi Muto shouted firmly:

"For the sake of my other self, I will never fall!!"

"Chain activation of the Quick-Play Spell Card - Time Leap!!"

"Due to the rules, the effect of Time Leap will take precedence over the effect of Necromancer Zoma, and the effect of Time Leap is to advance the turn by three turns!!"

"During this period, neither duelist can draw cards or perform any actions. Any remaining chains that are being processed will be nullified, but card effects triggered according to the turn will continue!!"

"Thanks to this card's ability, I avoided the damage from the Necromancer Zoma, and the Silent Swordsman's level has increased by three levels again!!"

"The attack power of the Lv4 Silent Swordsman will reach 3000!!!"

"Go!! I'll attack with the Silent Swordsman!!"

"The Sword of Silence!!!"

Bakula's expression changed drastically: "What?! Time travel... attack power of three thousand?!"

"Drink it!"

The Silent Swordsman roared and slashed forward with his heavy sword. The two consecutive sword strikes formed a cross slash, and the Death Knight, with only 1900 attack power, screamed and was cut into pieces. Cotton Candy Glasses were still hanging on its severed head.

"It's not over yet!!" Yugi Muto shouted again, "Marshmallow attack!!"

"Boom!!!!!"

The seemingly cute marshmallow opened its big mouth and rammed its head hard into something.

After two attacks, Bakula's health points dropped sharply, leaving him with only 1600.

"Tsk!!" Bakula endured intense pain and said coldly, "Your vessel has given me quite a bit of enjoyment, hasn't it?"

"Heh, fine, let me give you a good beating!"

"My turn, draw a card!!"

"Activate the magic card from my hand—The Dead Man's Sealing Sword!!"

"This card can seal one monster off the field!!"

"Vanish!! Silent Swordsman!!!"

"Whoosh————————————————"

A white bone sword shot out from the stone slab that suddenly rose up, pinning the Silent Swordsman to the wall. Seeing this, both Jonouchi and Mai Kujaku's expressions darkened. The Silent Swordsman was the most powerful monster in the game at present. Without him, the game could not continue its offensive.

"The monsters sealed by the Necromancer's Sealing Sword are unaffected by magic, traps, or monster effects," Bakura chuckled coldly, "and they can't even activate their own effects."

"Next, I will summon the necromancer in an attack stance!!"

"Use the necromancer to attack the cotton candy!!!"

Another stone slab rose from beneath the earth, and the ferocious undead monster swung its wooden staff and smashed it hard onto Cotton Candy. Cotton Candy was first flattened, but then immediately returned to its original shape.

"The effect of Marshmallow!" Yugi Muto exclaimed, "This card cannot be destroyed by battle!!"

"But you'll have to take the damage from the battle, Container~" As Bakura spoke, dark energy surged towards Yugi Muto. After the intense stinging pain, his LP returned to 1000 points.

"And it's a pity~" Bakura continued with a sneer, "If it were another monster that was attacked, it would be destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard, thus allowing your Silent Swordsman to return to the field~"

"The effect of the Necromancer's Seal Sword is that when a monster is sent to the Graveyard, the sealed monster will return to the field."

"In other words, it was your monster-like special ability that caused you to miss this golden opportunity."

"Hehehe!!"

Hahahaha!

"Stop the futile resistance! Destroy them all!!"

Hahahahahaha!!!

Bakula ended the round with a maniacal laugh.

Yugi Muto frowned and announced loudly, "My turn! Draw a card!"

"Wait a minute~" Bakura said smugly, "The Silent Swordsman's effect, which was sealed by the Necromancer's Sealing Sword, has also been sealed, so his attack power cannot be increased~"

"I know!" Yugi Muto waved his card. "I summon Brick Golem in Defense Position! End of Turn!!"

The stone slab rose, revealing a Rock-type monster with only 300 defense points standing on the field.

Jonouchi was taken aback, his face darkening: "Hey! This monster's attack power is too low! How could it possibly withstand our attack!"

Mai Kongjaku didn't understand what Yugi Muto was doing either: "Besides... the marshmallow should be in defense position!!"
