Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 298 The Collapse of Orichalcos

The thick, dark fog seemed to obscure their vision, and in that abyss of chaos that seemed to swallow the world, Darz saw too much.

He witnessed the collapse of the unseen bronze creation, and saw the all-consuming black hole constantly eroding the long serpent inside the idol.

His most powerful subordinate—a serpent god who feeds on malice—disappeared without even showing himself.

Watching this scene, Darz suddenly felt like he couldn't breathe, as if all his strength had been drained away, and his steps became unsteady.

In that upheaval that did not belong to the present world, he could only watch helplessly as everything was swallowed up by the abyss vortex.

Finally, the dust settled.

When Darzelle breathed in that cold air again, what appeared before her was a tower that should have been shattered.

"The Bone Tower for Absorbing Essence"

"def/1500"

Behind it, in the shadow of that tower of bones, the Crimson Eyes burned silently:

"Finally, both players can choose one monster from their Graveyard to Special Summon to their field; however, a monster Special Summoned by the effect of 'Yomi Tenjin' will be banished immediately upon leaving the field."

“Summoning from the graveyard is an exception…”

"That's right, so you should choose a monster too."

In a daze, Dartz realized something:
"Then, I will Special Summon 'Gigas,' which was previously offered as a ritual sacrifice!"

"Orichalco-Gigas"

"atk/400→900"

"That way, we can at least hold on for a while longer."

He glanced at the fifteen cards that remained in his deck and took a deep breath.

"Just next round, next round..."

"buzz"

"Ok?"

The sudden tremor interrupted his thoughts. He subconsciously looked at his deck and saw that the already scarce cards were rapidly disappearing in a strange manner.

"No, what... what's going on?!"

"I actually have three Miao cards in my deck."

When Dartz looked straight ahead, he saw Dartz slowly take a monster card out of his pocket.

The image above the card, which resembles a ceramic doll encasing internal organs, would evoke a sense of physiological revulsion at a glance.

In a daze, Darz even thought of the Atlantean citizens who had been induced to become dark and thus mutated.

"This thing is..."

"The Face of the Dead - When this card is banished, both of us need to banish five cards from our decks. Previously, 'Wheel of the Underworld' banished all three cards lying in my deck, so..."

You Ming didn't say anything more, but the facts were already laid out on the table.

"Fifteen cards..."

'Shua La'

When the god arrived, the Duel Disk was empty; his remaining cards were completely enveloped by the chaos from another dimension.

For duelists, a duel is a battle that gambles with their lives, and the deck is that uncertain future.

If it collapses, it means...

"No, that won't happen. I still have 'Giggs' on the field right now. When 'Giggs' is on the field, I can't draw cards during the normal draw phase!"

"So he has to disappear."

"But under the 'Triple Barrier of Orichalcos,' neither trap cards nor spell cards can affect the monsters on my field."

"What about the monster effects?"

"!!"

In the stillness, Darz couldn't help but widen her eyes.

He wanted to say something, but all he saw were two will-o'-the-wisps flickering:

"The effect chain isn't over yet. Legend says that the Nine-Tailed Fox can sever its tail to survive. Therefore, if the Nine-Tailed Fox is destroyed by the effect of 'Yomi Tensei,' I will Special Summon two 'Fox Tokens' to the field."

"Fox derivatives"

"atk/500"

Only when the will-o'-the-wisp appeared did time slowly advance, the cards were quickly devoured, and the deck was instantly cleared.

But it's not over yet.

Without giving her any time to catch her breath, Darz saw a faint light emerge from the heavy mound of earth again.

It was a horse-headed monster, wielding a thick, powerful axe that cleaved through the thick mound of graves.

"I will Special Summon 'Undead King' from the Graveyard, excluding the 'Horse-Headed Demon' that was previously sent there!"

"Necromancer King - Evil Eye" "atk/2800"

Completely different from its previous curled-up state, when the attack was announced, it stretched out its seemingly withered yet incredibly robust body.

It is like a mixture of vengeful spirits, and also like the embodiment of anger.

Then, it raised its crimson scepter:
"This turn, I haven't activated the effect of 'Undead King' yet, so I activate the effect of 'Nine-Tailed Fox' to Tribute the two 'Fox Tokens' on the field and Special Summon 'Nine-Tailed Fox'..."

However, this was not his purpose.

Rather, at this point, whether the Nine-Tails itself appears or not is irrelevant.

Importantly, she is an undead monster, therefore...

"When another Undead monster activates its effect, 'Undead King's' effect will activate."

"Zizzi"

The power that should have belonged to the great demon on the Far East island flowed directly into the crimson scepter.

"Exclude 'Orichalco-Gigas' from your field."

Red light, another dimension.

When the overwhelming pressure of the King of the Underworld descended, it seemed that everything vanished into nothingness.

"End of round."

【Youming LP: 6800】

【DAZ LP: 9500】

Even though neither side has reached their limit in terms of LP, and there are still a lot of monsters on the field, at this moment, it's not just the opponent's turn that ends.

And himself...

Is this really how it ends?!
He didn't do anything at all, he was just one step away, just a tiny bit away!

'Kara'

Suddenly, a cracking sound echoed.

"what……"

The clear sound lingered in her ears, shaking Dartz's mind:
"Do not……"

He instinctively covered his cheek, but no matter how he tried to hide it, the cracks on his face were clearly visible.

"Great God, at least give me a little more time."

But his pleas clearly did not reach his god; he was like an overheated piece of glass, cracks gradually spreading from his face outwards, along his priestly robes, and eventually throughout his entire body.

"It shouldn't be like this."

'boom'

Finally, Dartz's body began to disintegrate.

A violent explosion reverberated across the earth and surged into the sky, the spreading energy forming a hurricane that could not be ignored.

At that moment, even the top floor of the International Illusion Society could see a chilling light:
"that is……"

Jonouchi couldn't help but widen his eyes, and almost as soon as he was stunned, the green light that had appeared around him began to flicker.

Witnessing this scene, the man clad in power armor—Baron, one of the Three Musketeers of Doma—couldn't help but gasp:
"Impossible! Orichalcos is malfunctioning?!"

Immediately, as the green light dissipated, all the monster projections on the field also disappeared.

"The duel has been interrupted?"

"Hmph, could it be that you ants realize you're going to lose, so you resort to this kind of nonsense?"

"Kaiba!!"

“Wait, Ameruda, the situation is not good for us now.”

Just before the red-haired man instinctively took a step forward, the blond, burly man stopped him.

Then, he glanced deeply at the Pharaoh who was clashing with him, before turning to look at his companions at the edge:

"Baron!"

'boom'

Before Rafiru could say anything more, Baron punched the wall of the International Illusion Society.

Smoke and dust exploded and scattered, and the figures of the three seemed to be gradually disappearing.

"Damn it, he actually tried to run away?!"

Realizing something, Jonouchi was about to rush forward, but Tenma Tsukiyuki was quick-witted and stopped him.

"Wait, Mr. Jonouchi, we shouldn't pursue a cornered enemy too far, now..."

At this point, Tianma Yuexing couldn't help but glance at the green hurricane sweeping outside the window; its terrifying power made him frown.

"Now, I think we need to prepare for this!"
