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

Chapter 344 The Undead Are Not Dark
Above the dark sky of the elven realm, echoes a somber roar belonging to the darkness.

Although Yu Ming himself didn't know what was going on, however...

"Seeing such a strong reaction from you makes my summoning of her worthwhile."

Given the current irreconcilable conflict, even just being able to annoy that thing called Dartz is something to celebrate.

"Now, if 'Heavenly Demoness' is successfully Special Summoned, I will add 'Forget-Me-Not Seahorse' from my Deck to my hand."

A radiant glow flowed, and under that fantastical light that was completely unlike necromancy, the cards that should have been ignored came into the duelist's hands in a completely different form.

And the one who orchestrated all of this was clearly that woman!
"The Heavenly Demoness"—

A hoarse voice almost overflowed from her throat, and Darz suddenly laughed.

"There's no bigger joke than this. I never expected it would be this woman who would stop me."

"Then, if there are no monsters on the field other than 'Forget-Me-Not', I will Special Summon 'Kaibamon' which I just added to my hand."

"Don't Forget Seahorsemon (lv5)"

"atk/1350"

Skeletons gathered together, and a fish-shaped seahorse circled the entire arena.

"Next, I activate the effect of 'Forget-Me-Not Seahorse,' destroying itself until its total Level is 5, and then send the 'Forget-Me-Not' monster from my Deck to the Graveyard."

Do you know what this woman did?

"I sent the level 2 'Don't Forget the Attic Monster' and the level 3 'Don't Forget the Sleepy Sheep' to the graveyard..."

"You seem to be relying on her, but ten thousand years ago, she was a selfish, madwoman who wanted to destroy the world."

"At the same time, when 'Forget-Me-Not' is sent to the Graveyard by a similar effect, it can be Special Summoned."

"Don't Forget the Attic Monster (lv2)"

"atk/550"

"Then, when it is Special Summoned, I can add one 'Don't Forget' card from my Graveyard back to my hand..."

Didn't you hear what I said?

As Dartz gazed at the duelist who seemed to stand tall amidst the iridescent fantasy, his voice involuntarily became distorted.

"You may call yourself righteous, but your chosen allies, everything you've created, are tainted by corruption. That woman, she..."

"She saved me."

Gently touching the graveyard area on the white bone duel disk, Youming said calmly.

"She gave me a chance to open my eyes again in that world."

"So, you were just being used by her; you'll never escape being a pawn!"

"Does it matter?"

Meeting Daz's seemingly relentless and ferocious gaze, Youming couldn't help but pick at his ear.

"To be honest, I'm really tired right now. Since I came into this world, I've hardly had any rest. I put in a little effort because I thought the Three Musketeers didn't deserve to die. Actually, I originally planned to take a break after breaking the seal on the legendary dragon, but the seemingly steady old thing is not so easy to deal with. He's in a hurry to come and get himself killed."

At this point, he couldn't help but laugh:
"I can't concentrate very well right now, let alone play a game of mutual exploitation with you. Even just thinking about the strategy wouldn't be the optimal solution, and I might even make some terrible plays."

However, his eyes sharpened.

In the dim light of the mortal realm, those crimson eyes seemed to be burning:

"But if you're trying to use this opportunity to shake my resolve, you're mistaken."

With a deep breath, the boy gently tapped the duel disk made of white bones.

The graveyard glowed with a revitalizing light, slowly releasing a card:
"I've decided to add 'Forget-Me-Not Warrior' back to my hand."

Gently stroking the card surface that still seemed to be warm, You Ming narrowed his eyes:

Whether it was her or him, those people—they gave that once lost, once self-destructive 'boy' a chance to start over, and that's why…”

"..."

"I stand before you on my own free will."

At that moment, the witch's phantom seemed to appear behind the duelist. Her expression was neither sad nor happy, but her gaze unconsciously revealed a touch of gentleness.

Then, she raised her wand:
"Now, I activate the effect of 'Heavenly Witch,' destroying herself to Special Summon 'Forgotten Heart Key Spirit,' which was originally sent to the Graveyard."

'boom'

Amidst the shattering, the 'child' that should have been sealed in the coffin flapped its tiny wings and leaped out. "Never Forget the Heart Key Essence (lv1)"

"atk/400"

The little fairy looked around, seemingly hoping to find its companion.

Then, it came:

"'Forget Kakutas' - This card, which was previously discarded to the Graveyard, can be Special Summoned when a 'Forget' monster on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard."

"Never forget Kakutas"

"atk/1700"

An unidentified monster, a devil fish, from the depths of the sea.

The moment it appeared, its single eye emitted a breathtaking radiance:
"If 'Forgetful Kakutas' is successfully Special Summoned, Level 9 or higher 'Forgetful' monsters may attack directly this turn."

"Direct attack..."

Dartz glanced at the "Dark Prototype" on the field, whose attack power was approaching the lower-level limit, and his heart trembled.

"But you don't have any on the field right now..."

There are no 9-star monsters at all.

That's what he wanted to say, but at that moment, the little fairy raised the key in her hand.

She gently knocked on the door, stirring up a magnificent vortex.

"This effect also applies to monsters that are summoned after this effect is applied, so I activate the effect of 'Heart Key Spirit' to destroy itself as well."

The vortex expanded, engulfing the fairy as well. Under the dazzling light, the scene that should have been a cruel 'shattering to pieces' instead revealed a touch of magnificence.

"Then, add the Spell Card 'Forget-Me-Not Fusion' from your Deck to your hand."

"Fusion Magic Card..."

"Then, the quick-attack spell—'Forget-Me-Not Fusion'—is activated. The fusion condition is three 'Forget-Me-Not' monsters."

"But you only have two monsters on your field..."

"That's right, but my monster was destroyed by a card effect this turn, so I can return the 'Forget-Me-Not' monster from my graveyard to my deck as Fusion Material."

"That means..."

"Use 'Kakutas' and 'Attic Monster' on the field, along with 'Heavenly Witch' from the graveyard, as fusion materials to summon the dead who slumber in memories."

The skeletons were turned upside down, and the crystals shimmered.

The witch's figure gradually faded into illusion, while what solidified into a physical form was the King of the Underworld, who wandered in the netherworld.

"Fusion Summoning - 'King of the Underworld - Never Forget the Spirit of the Underworld'."

"King of the Underworld - Never Forget the Spirit of the Underworld King (lv9)"

"Attribute/Earth"

"Race/Fantasy Demon"

"atk/3000 def/2000"

"Wait a minute, this guy doesn't control the power of darkness?"

"Then, the effect of 'King of the Dead' activates—if it is successfully Fusion Summoned, send three 'Forget-Me-Not' cards from your Deck to the Graveyard."

A shimmering light flickered, and a strange, boisterous atmosphere seemed to linger across the field as goblins and fairies frolicked together.
There was an evil dragon roaring, and goblins shrieking, just like...
"The first card is the quick-attack spell 'Don't Forget the Bones Party'."

Next, the horse-shaped sea monster, which should have been resting in the cemetery, paraded around the area:
"Second card, quick-attack spell - 'Don't Forget the Bones Return'."

Ultimately, the shadows covered the sky.

As the celebrations belonging to the skeletons subsided, a colossal shadow, seemingly capable of obscuring the sky, slowly emerged:

"Monster Card - 'Ghost Corpse Fusion - Never Forget the Spirit of the Underworld'."

At that moment, Darz felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly, as if it would be torn apart at any moment.

"What exactly is that thing..."

"I will send these three cards to the cemetery."
