The card player needs to win easily

“Shocking…”

Even the team composed of the strongest warriors became noisy in this scene that seemed like a miracle had occurred.

"Scan - detected the first level of authority."

The floating "Star Relic - Star Crown" slowly rotated, and the bright blue in its center flickered.

A beam of light as thick as a person passed over Oram, the elves of the Sacred Tree Tribe, and even the entire "Holy Icon Knight" team, leaping towards a corner of the forest.

Then, there was a brief silence.

(what happened?)

The emerald-haired elf, who activated the "Star Relic - Star Crown", felt anxious.

("This is the first time Star Crown has reacted like this... No, it's the second time.")

("what happens……?")

"The first authorization holder has opened access rights."

"It's already open for use."

"...?"

Another inexplicable flash of information appeared, and as the "Star Relic - 'Star Crown'" retracted the light beam from a corner of the forest, the green-haired elf suddenly realized that he could operate the giant machine in front of him as usual.

"what happened?"

Watching the changing expression of the "Sacred Tree's Holy Knight," he couldn't help but ask—however, knowing who was in the corner of the forest where the beam was directed, he also roughly understood who was interfering with the "Star Crown".

"No...it's okay. Now we can let the warriors receive the power."

What happened next was exactly as Oram had predicted—the light from the Star Crown swept across the edge of the Sacred Tree Lake, scattering deep blue particles in the air.

Those who came into contact with it watched with some surprise and a little fear as the blue lines formed out of thin air on their bodies, covering their entire bodies and forming a perfect, fitting armor.

The power is manifested in their bodies.

"Commander Oram, we respect your Kou Ya!!!"

No one knew who had shouted this first, but the others—even the elves of the Sacred Tree Tribe who had helped to open the "Star Crown"—all began shouting one after another with excitement and a desire to join in the fun.

"It's so lively."

Listening to the cheers in the distance and looking helplessly at the small piece of jam bread that fell to the ground beneath her, Liva sighed.

Just now, because a light screen from the "Star Relic - 'Star Crown'" suddenly appeared in her face, Liva was frightened and threw the food away.

"Pity……"

Liva transferred all her control, turned off the screen on her face, and looked at the food that had fallen to the ground and rolled several times. It was obviously inedible, and she showed a sad expression.

"I thought I was far enough away from the Star Relic - Star Crown... Never mind."

Slapping her face and diverting her thoughts from the inedible jam bread, Liva stood up and walked towards the "Icon Knights" who had already prepared their troops.

It’s time to set off - maybe she’ll meet the Siren who’s looking for her on the way?

--------------------------------

"Huh...huh..."

In the pitch-black alien dimension, the Siren wrapped in a protective shield was sweating coldly, leaving only a small crack to look at the world on the opposite side.

"I thought I was really going to die..."

At that time, just before the spear pierced through her original position, her instinct alerted her wildly, so she used the Millennium Cube to transfer herself and escaped.

This feeling was not pleasant - Siren's stomach had been feeling uncomfortable until now.

As expected of the person with the highest record in the "Star Relics" worldview, Ningirsu's power is so strong, so domineering, so... powerful.

Even if Siren could beat him, he would never fight - after all, he really couldn't fight, and he had always relied on his physical fitness and card effects to rush forward.

Coupled with his strange mental state...Siren looked at Ningirsu who rushed back to the "Orcust Tower of Babel" and repeatedly confirmed the container for the body of Eve in this world, and began to worry about her friend.

If Liva followed Oram, she would definitely follow Ningirsu - if it was discovered that her body was "Eve herself", who knows what would happen to her.

"No...something needs to be done."

At least he should use his amazing wisdom to provide some insurance for Liva - at least he should have time to save her.

Looking at the silent mechanical doll standing next to Ningirsu...she suddenly had an idea.

"That's how it is, Master Dazhi."

Raphael put down the phone with a grim look on his face.

After confirming that all feedback had disappeared from the other side of his "Orichalcum" fragment, Raphael contacted the headquarters immediately.

(Even Baron fell into that person's hands...)

In the moonlight, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.

(But, I still need to complete my mission.)

Raphael looked behind him as if by telepathy.

"Drink!"

With the sound of the wind, the white horse carrying a person rushed down from the high slope. With the rider's superb skills, it successfully slowed down and landed on the platform.

In front of him, the only way to the circular platform where Raphael was was a rickety rope bridge with wooden planks.

He walked over without hesitation.

"You're finally here, Yugi Muto—no, I should call you the Nameless Pharaoh."

"I'm here, let Professor Arthur go!"

Yami Yugi looked at the other person with a sharp look.

Arriving at Professor Arthur's research institute, he saw only ruins, and was held hostage by people he knew, forcing him to rush to this desolate place in the early hours of the morning - no matter which aspect, Yami Yugi felt very uncomfortable.

"I have also kept my promise and let the professor return. I estimate that he has already arrived home."

"…What exactly do you want to do?"

It is difficult for Yami Yugi to understand why he goes to such great lengths to capture someone and then lets them go so easily.

"As for Professor Arthur, it's just that his research has touched upon something we don't allow—"

"So, you blew up his research institute, frightened an old man, and caused panic among others?"

"I don't deny that this is one of our methods."

"It's really unreasonable..."

Yami Yugi turned to leave - but two axes grazed the sides of his face.

"...!?"

The spinning weapon passed by Yami Yugi and rushed towards the two pillars that fixed the rope bridge on the side.

The blade embedded itself into the wooden stake, the rope snapped, and the bridge deck collided with each other and fell to the bottom of the valley.

"you--"

"I didn't force you to this place just to let you turn around and leave, nameless pharaoh."

Raphael took off his coat and threw it on the ground, revealing his strong muscles under his vest.

The two axes under him had disappeared - as for where they went, there was no need to say.

Take a deep breath.

Yami Yugi also knew that since the other party had gone to great lengths to call him to this place, it would be impossible for him to leave easily - he just confirmed this point again.

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Even if the rope is cut, there is still a way to get down from this place - it's just very troublesome."

Raphael pointed to a steep path behind him.

"But if you want to go down, you have to do it after the duel."

"You, want to challenge me to a duel?"

"Indeed, as a true duelist, I'm looking forward to a duel with you, Yugi Muto."

Raphael crossed his arms.

In the distant morning light, Yami Yugi could now see clearly that a duel disk was tied to his opponent's left arm.

"As a true duelist, I'm looking forward to the duel with you—"

"—Do you think I will believe you?"

Yami Yugi's face darkened.

"As a member of the Doma organization, your goal is nothing more than to take away my soul!"

"And you call yourself a true duelist... I don't remember that a true duelist's duties include kidnapping, intimidating, and even killing others!"

"Evil deeds? Then, nameless Pharaoh, what is your so-called justice?"

Still maintaining his stance, Raphael asked Yami Yugi rhetorically.

"At least I won't use any means to take away other people's souls like you do."

"Well, nameless pharaoh... let's get started then."

shook his head.

Raphael unfolded the duel disk and watched as the virtual coin fell from the sky and turned heads in front of him.

"Since you believe that our act of seizing souls is unjust—then, I will not use the Orichalcum Barrier in this duel."

"What--"

Before Yami Yugi could react, Rafiru pulled five cards from his deck.

"My turn!"

Dorma: Chapter 172: The Legendary Dragon Timaeus

"I banish six cards from my Extra Deck face-down, and I activate the effect of 'Greedy Pot Full of Gold'!"

"Draw two cards from your deck!"

As the duel began, Raphael played a card that looked a bit shocking.

"You gave up the extra deck?"

Yami Yugi watched as six cards flew out of Raphael's extra deck without making any move.

"After that, from my hand, I'll activate the normal spell "Reincarnation"!"

"According to its effect, I add a "Reincarnation" monster from my deck to my hand—I choose "Reincarnation of the Demon God Bimiba"!"

"Then, I'll show you "Guardian Athos" in your hand and Special Summon "Reborn Demon God Bimitar"!"

White wings flashed by.

Then, a demon with a black body and a terrifying dragon bone on its head fell from the void.

"When "Reincarnation of the Demon God Bimitar" is Special Summoned successfully, I can add another "Reincarnation" card from my Deck or Banished to my hand!"

"I choose 'Reincarnation of God'!"

"Guardian Athos..."

Yami Yugi saw the hand card that Raphael showed.

"That's right, Guardian Athos."

Raphael saw the confusion written on Yami Yugi's face and nodded slightly.

"You mean, for 'Reincarnation', there might be a card that's much more useful than 'Guardian Athos'—"

"—But for me, this card is the only solution. There is no other possibility."

"The only solution..."

"Alright, Pharaoh, let's continue the duel."
