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

Chapter 92 Dark Sanctuary
The dragon's fangs tear apart powerful enemies.

The dragon's fire burned the city and boiled the sea.

Powerful, dangerous, cold and ruthless.

Countless descriptions describe its existence, and just standing there is awe-inspiring.

Because of worship, so offer sacrifices.

Because of fear, there is betrayal.

Over the long years, under the almost concealed conspiracy, no one knows the true face of the dragon.

No one would try to interpret the gentle eyes on that ferocious face.

No one will try to listen to the soft heartbeat beneath the hard shell.

"The dragon is not ungrateful. From today on, you are the dragon's friend."

…………

"very nice."

Although this seemed a little inappropriate, You Ming found that he kind of liked this place.

The dragons' farewells really gave him the feeling of adventuring in a fantasy world, like the kind where he went through a place, solved an incident, and then moved on to the next area.

No need to worry about logistics at all, you can come and go at any time.

Relaxed and comfortable.

However, this wonderful feeling disappeared after leaving the 'Forgotten Cemetery' completely.

"It's all an illusion."

Looking at the sky in front of him, which seemed even darker than before, You Ming couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Although the Forgotten Cemetery looks desolate and quiet, it is just a place without the rotation of the sun and moon and with bones scattered all over the ground.

The sky looked filled with miasma and extremely gloomy, but since the Dragon Soul City rose from the ground, the atmosphere has become more bearable.

But the place in front of him was completely different. The barren land was one thing, but what was more important was the sky.

Compared to other places, there is no miasma here that is so thick that it makes people feel difficult to breathe, but at the same time, the purple-red sky is filled with moving eyes one after another.

Those almost exposed eyeballs were rolling around, and just one look at them would give people goose bumps.

And more importantly, he couldn't leave here.

"Are you sure we want to go there?"

He couldn't help but look at the black man who was driving next to him.

He is the 'O'Brien' that Naia mentioned.

Of course, he is not the 'high school student' in GX. Instead, he looks older, and the scars all over his body prove that he has fought on the battlefield.

And now, this man who can be called the "King of Soldiers" expressed a respectful attitude:

"That's right, Mr. You Ming, that's our target location."

It is worth mentioning that he was originally scheduled to appear in the previous Dragon Soul Defense Battle, but because the Void Demon opened a space rift and rushed out halfway, he was directly resolved in a normal battle before he could reach his position.

For this reason, they merged directly and arrived at this place:
"Dark Sanctuary."

'Snapped'

Just like that, a slap landed on his forehead, and You Ming sighed.

“The Dark Sanctuary…”

This is a card used by Tapirara in the original work, and the accompanying summoning disk and dark puppet tactics that work in the graveyard once forced Pharaoh into a desperate situation, until he finally took out the Sky Dragon and violently cleared the field.

"So, system, please give me a VIDA DE PET."

Of course, this was a joke. His so-called extra-dimensional duel system obviously did not have any song-ordering function.

If I were to say what I truly felt, that would be it.

"As expected of a card from the Great Demon King..."

Just looking at the giant mouth in the sky licking an eyeball, You Ming really felt his head buzzing.

This can no longer be said to be an aesthetic issue; he even has a physiological aversion.

"So it's really hard to imagine you carrying out a mission in a place like this, O'Brien. Don't you feel disgusted?"

"Since this is a mission, we must put aside all personal thoughts and emotions and prioritize the mission."

"Oh……"

After getting the answer from the soldier king, You Ming couldn't help but look back at the soldier behind him.

"Grayfa, what do you think of the environment here?"

Adhering to the principle that comedians never die, he not only didn't send it directly, but is still alive and kicking. He even happily opened a can of beer that he didn't know where he came from and drank it.

"That's not bad."

After taking a deep breath, he narrowed his eyes.

"I've seen a lot of disgusting things while traveling, so this is actually not so bad."

"Okay, okay, I guess I'm the only one who doesn't have much experience."

Finally, You Ming's gaze gradually moved down, and what came into his sight was a delicate black - the Yashiki-warashi.

This girl, who clearly had a Japanese monster name but was wearing a little dress, was now sitting in his arms.

At first, she supported her chin and looked at the scenery outside the window in a free and easy manner.

When she noticed You Ming's gaze, she raised her little head:
"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to those things in the sky. They have no function at all, they are just decorations."

The light words clearly revealed comfort, but they had a different meaning when they fell into You Ming's ears.

"So, you know this place well?"

"Yeah, I used to live here."

"..."

What else can I say?

"Awesome! You can still live in a place like this."

In the end, You Ming's gaze finally shifted away from the sky that seemed to be drooling and the twisted castle that was looming in the distance.

Continuing to look into those eyes, he felt that he must have some mental problems.

"Anyway, let's talk about the situation over there, O'Brien. What kind of mission are you carrying out here?"

"soul."

He spoke.

"You should be aware that our coalition forces are diverse, right?"

"Well, I saw it. All I can say is... there are a lot of species."

"The same is true on the front line. In addition to the mecha troops of the Kaiba Group, there are also some zombies, monsters and demons stationed on the front line."

O'Brien spoke up.

"And earlier, when Mr. Naia extracted Hades's memories and replayed the entire battle on the front line, he discovered something strange."

"...Why is this guy here again?"

Hearing the name that seemed to haunt him, You Ming's mouth twitched.

"So, what did you find?"

"The souls of the fighters who were responsible for resisting the army of the Undead King in the front-line defense circle have disappeared."

In an instant, all sounds seemed to disappear.

Inside the car seat, the only sound lingering was the roar of the engine.

After a long while, You Ming raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Gone?"

"Yes."

"But I remember that in this world, the dead in battle should be collected by the Undead King's Bone Tower and then used for other purposes."

"Indeed, the memories we extracted show that Hades himself intended to use those souls to complete the summoning ritual of the Five Emperor Dragons, but ultimately ran out of resources and could only use the souls of those traitors to complete the summoning ritual."

"I see. So Noa is sending you to investigate these matters?"

"Yes, I was originally stationed in the defense circle with Mr. Gouzaburo, so Mr. Noa hoped that I could investigate the whereabouts of those souls."

"So...are there any results?"

"Of course, Mr. Naia teamed up with the Spiritual Taoist, the Zombie Lord, and the former Pluto to create a device that can track souls. I tracked the souls all the way and found that their signals finally stopped at this place."

'boom'

Directly ahead, when the speeding vehicle directly shattered the illusion of the castle, a huge building came into view.

"Is this... a mausoleum?"

From a distance, you can even see a head printed on the gate.

With its ferocious smile and the culturally distinctive Nemes striped headscarf, its identity seems to be readily apparent:
"Exodia?"

"Yes, this is Exodia's tomb."
