Chapter 59 Dark Malik, Withered

Pulling out the two cards that automatically popped up from the duel disk from the deck, Hayato added [Disruption·Blue] to his hand, and then slapped the other [Armed Dragon LV3] on the duel disk.

[Armed Dragon LV3], which had not appeared for a long time, flapped its small wings on its back and landed on Hayato's field. He raised his hands excitedly, and because it was still Hayato's preparation stage, [Armed Dragon LV3] began to bloom with the power of evolution. Light.

"[Armed Dragon LV3]'s own effect sends it on my field to the graveyard during my preparation phase, and special summons an [Armed Dragon LV5] from my hand and deck!"

Surrounded by the light of evolution, the armor and blades on [Armed Dragon LV3] thickened and lengthened, and the cute [Armed Dragon LV3] evolved into the domineering and majestic [Armed Dragon LV5].

【Armed Dragon LV5】【5☆/Wind】

【Dragon/Effect】

【2400/1700】

Seeing Hayato summoning [Armed Dragon LV5] on the field without even using a chance for normal summons, Dark Malik folded his arms on his chest and remained calm.

Let alone [Armed Dragon LV5], even [Armed Dragon LV7] and [Armed Dragon LV10], the attack power of [Armed Dragon] that has evolved to the final point is only 3,000 points, and [Thunder Emperor-Harmon] 】Both the attack power and defense power are 4000 points that are completely superior to the [Armed Dragon].

The effect of [Armed Dragon] is also of no use to [Thunder Lord-Harmon], because the effect of [Armed Dragon] is not used to challenge the strong, but to suppress the weak, and is used to kill the weak. It's okay when you're young, but it's useless against [Thunder Emperor-Harmon].

"Oh, are you planning to use that monster to challenge [Thunder Emperor-Harmon], Hayato Kobayashi?" Smiling contemptuously, Dark Malik looked down at the cards on his duel plate.

Apart from [Thunder Emperor - Harmon], his only breakthrough point on the field is [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon] with an attack power of 2100 points. However, the cover card in his backfield is [Absorption Shield].

If Hayato wants to summon a monster with high attack power and attack [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon] to clear Dark Malik's base points, then his [Absorption Shield] can take the opportunity to work.

Hayato glanced at Dark Malik and smiled: "Are you so eager to be defeated by me? In that case, I will do as you wish."

"Activate the magic card [Spiral Fusion]!"

The vortex that will appear when the [Fusion] card is activated appears on Hayato's field, but this time the vortex that appears is not the regular blue, but turned into emerald green.

From the cards in Hayato's hand, the two monsters [Dark Knight-Gaia] and [Cursed Dragon] were used as fusion materials and he sent them to the graveyard.

"[Spiral Fusion] is a [Fusion] magic card that is limited to dragon-type fusion monsters. From my hand and field, I can send the fusion material monster determined by the dragon-type fusion monster card to the graveyard, and then fuse that fusion monster. call."

In the emerald green vortex that symbolizes the wind, the [Dark Knight-Gaia] riding a [Hell Flame Cursed Dragon] appeared on the field. It was none other than the [Celestial Dragon Knight-Gaia]!

As soon as [Tianxiang Dragon Knight-Gaia] appeared, the green vortex behind him that had not had time to dissipate turned into a torrent of magic power and flowed back to [Gaia]. The hellfire and rotation on [Hellfire Cursed Dragon] The storm gathered on the lance in [Gaia's] hand. Suddenly, Dark Malik, who had just been the old god, was no longer calm.

Because the attack power of [Tianxiang Dragon Knight-Gaia] started to surge strangely, as if there was a BUG in the duel system?

[Tianxiang Dragon Knight-Gaia] [7☆/Wind]

[Dragon/Fusion/Effect]

【2600/2100→5200/2100】

"The reason why the range of fusion is limited to dragon-type fusion monsters is, of course, because [Spiral Fusion] also has a second effect. When the dragon-type monster summoned by the fusion is [Dragon Knight-Gaia], [Spiral Fusion] will Increase the attack power of that monster by 2600 points, and you can attack the monster up to two times in one battle phase."

As he spoke, Hayato pointed at the [Sky-Sky Dragon Knight-Gaia] that appeared on his field: "The card name of [Sky-Sky Dragon Knight-Gaia] can be used as [Dragon Knight-Gaia], and in When he is successfully specially summoned, I activate his effect.”

"Add a [Spiral Gun] from the deck and graveyard to your hand. I will activate it directly."

Putting the [Spiral Gunshot] just added to the hand into the magic trap card area, Hayato looked at Dark Malik with a sneer: "I'm about to go, Dark Malik, do you still have enough monster reserves on the field?"

"[Tianxiang Dragon Knight - Gaia], attacks [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon], Cyclone! Heat! Maximum Drive! (Wind! Flame! Maximum Drive!)"

Following Hayato's order, [Sky Dragon Knight - Gaia] raised the lance wrapped in wind and flames in his hand and attacked [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon] on Dark Malik's field.

As Hayato's attack declaration was issued, although the attack had not yet arrived, [Sky Dragon Knight - Gaia] controlled the strong wind to change the expression form of [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon].

"When [Celestial Dragon Knight - Gaia] declares an attack on an opponent's monster, you can activate its effect to change the representation of the monster targeted by the attack. In front of [Celestial Dragon Knight - Gaia], determine the representation of your monster. It’s not you but me!”

"How many floors can a bag of rice carry? (Feel the pain!)"

[Dark Hero-Zombie Demon] [ATK2100→DEF500]

Seeing [Sky Dragon Knight - Gaia] with an attack power of 5200 points attacking [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon] on his field, which was forcibly turned into a defensive position, he knew that [Spiral Gun] had the ability to give [Dragon Knight] -Gaia] Dark Malik, who has the ability to defend against penetration, no longer waits and directly opens the Gaika in his backcourt.

"Stop! Activate the trap card, [Absorption Shield]!"

The energy shield appeared in front of the [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon] who was squatting for defense, and happened to block [Gaia]'s spear, which was just one step away from destroying it. The strong wind and flames swirling above the spear invaded. came, but was completely accepted by the [Absorption Shield] and converted into Dark Malik's basic points.

【Malik: 4000→9200LP】

Seeing the fatal blow of [Sky Dragon Knight-Gaia] on his field being caught by Malik, Hayato smiled: "Originally, I was thinking of using [Armed Dragon LV5] to make up for it. Just hit it first, I didn’t expect you to use [Absorption Shield].”

"Didn't anyone tell you not to use this 'invalid attack' card casually when dealing with me?"

Hayato showed the card he drew from the deck at the beginning of this round.

Quick Attack Magic Card, [Double Chance]!

"Nani?! That's the card!"

"Ah, although it is a quick-attack magic card, it can only be used after a condition is triggered. The triggering condition of [Double Chance] is 'when the monster's attack is invalid'."

As he spoke, Hayato inserted [Double Chance] into the magic trap card area of ​​the duel disk: "Activate the effect of [Double Chance]!"

"When a monster's attack is invalid, it can only be activated by targeting that monster!"

"During this battle phase, that monster can attack only once more. This effect doubles the attack power of that monster during the damage step of the monster's attack."

Looking at the [Absorption Shield] that blocked his attack, [Tianxiang Dragon Knight-Gaia] withdrew the spear that was thrust out, and focused all his strength on the other spear that had not been thrust out just now. superior.

The wind and flames that were just coiling around the lance like coiled snakes a moment ago sped up, and the wind and fire became one piece and enveloped the entire lance. From a distance, it looked like [Celestial Dragon Knight - Gaia]. He was holding a tornado of flames directly in his hand.

[Tianxiang Dragon Knight-Gaia] [ATK5200→10400]

"Attack power, exceeded 10,000?!"

"[Spiral Gun] will give [Dragon Knight - Gaia] the ability to break through monsters in defense position. It is rare to increase the attack power to 10,400 points, because the defense power of [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon] is 500 points, and you will receive The damage is 9900 points, which is really a pity.”

Hayato sighed artificially and looked at the somewhat panicked Dark Malik: "So, are you ready to accept this hurt, Dark Malik?"

"No, wait a minute, Kobayashi Hayato!" Although Dark Malik has always acted like an imbecile who is fearless, but when he confirmed that he would definitely lose this dark game and his soul was deprived of him by Kobayashi Hayato, Fearing that he would never be able to cause trouble again, he couldn't help but panic.

"Look at me, I'm Malik, Isis's younger brother. You should have a good relationship with your sister, right?"

"Don't look at my sister who treats me so indifferently. If you kill me, she will definitely have a grudge in her heart because of it. You don't want to alienate your relationship with her because of this, right?"

"Let me go. I am willing to hand over control of my body. You can put my personality back into this body!"

Looking at Yami Malik's ugly appearance, Hayato just smiled coldly: "I, Hayato Xiaobayashi, will refuse to pay if I eat food with inflated prices. If I meet a gangster, I will beat him up mercilessly. I will defeat him." A duelist who behaves badly will take away all of his opponent's cards, but even then I know what true evil is."

"Ask yourself, Malik. Do you deserve to be forgiven and let go for everything you have done in the past?"

"Accept this punishment called 'soul flying'. The one who punished you is me, Hayato Kobayashi, and my [Tianxiang Dragon Knight-Ga-Ya-]!"

"Explode☆Kill☆!!!"

As [Tianxiang Dragon Knight - Gaia] stabbed out the lance in his hand, the violent wind and fire that had been suppressed for a long time swallowed up [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon] in an instant. Under the gaze of Emperor Harmon], Dark Malik's base points were cleared in an instant.

"No! I, I can't accept it!" It was obvious that he received up to 9900 points of damage in one breath in the dark game, but Dark Malik, who was knocked into the wall of the room, did not pass out directly, but seemed to return to the light. He glared at Hayato angrily.

The [Millennium Scepter] on his waist was shining with light.

"Kobayashi Hayato, you bastard!"

"I'll wait for you on the road to hell! Mark me-"

Before Dark Malik could finish his harsh words, Dark Game's punishment had already been imposed. Even under the protection of the [Millennium Scepter], which has the ability to modify the rules of the dark game to a certain extent, Dark Malik's soul was shattered in an instant, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground as if dead and stopped breathing.

After Malik's body fell to the ground, Hayato looked down at the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] on his chest, struck the "Eye of Ugato" in the center of some golden disks, and called to the horse that was lodged in it. Lik.

"I said, three years old, are you ready?"

"Huh? What are you preparing for?" Seeing "himself" being killed by Hayato in one round, Malik had not yet recovered from the feeling of revenge and the strange mood of "himself" being beaten violently. When he heard Hayato's words, he could not Understand it the first time.

"To be honest, just listening to the chirping of these card elves every day is enough for me. It's too much trouble for you to be around me." He glanced at himself because [Rainbow Chestnut Ball] did not appear in this duel. [Disruption Yellow] and [Disruption Blue] were dancing excitedly because they had appeared, but Hayato held his forehead helplessly.

Slapping the two noisy [Disruption] monsters back into their respective cards, Hayato walked towards Malik's "corpse" that fell on the ground.

"As for the noisy tenant who has not paid the rent, I, the landlord, have every reason to evict him, don't I?" Turning Malik's body face up, Hayato said to [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] Malik said.

Although Hayato has always called him "three-year-old", Malik is not really only three years old. He has already understood what Hayato meant.

It was clear that he was begging Hayato to let him out in the virtual world before, but now that Hayato really wanted to put him back into his body, Malik was a little hesitant.

"Brother-in-law, I..."

"First of all, it's not brother-in-law." Hayato interrupted Malik and explained the current situation to him, "Let me explain in advance that your soul is originally in a damaged state due to split personality, and it is also affected by your dark personality. Usurping power. After that, he pulled it out of the body with rough methods. It can be said that you were very lucky if you didn't immediately die at that time. "

"And your body, because your dark personality prefers dark games. Who knows how many games he has experienced during this period, and what kind of torture he has suffered?"

"Anyway, your soul is now in pieces and your body has been ravaged. Even if your soul returns to the body, no one knows whether it can adapt to each other. Be prepared to become a vegetative state or directly brain-dead."

What Hayato said was quite realistic, but even if it was so realistic, Malik in [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] just remained silent for a moment and then laughed: "In that case, wouldn't it be good?"

"I remember there is a saying, 'The cycle of nature, retribution is not good'? I still have my dark personality. What we did in the past has caused countless people to suffer. I will bear this responsibility. I won’t excuse myself.”

Malik's voice was a little deep, but there was also a sense of relaxation and relief in it:

"If I survive by chance, I plan to use the rest of my life to atone for my past sins. But if I die directly and can pay for my crimes with death, then I will get an advantage."

His straightforward and open-minded speech also made Hayato rarely look squarely at Malik. He who acted childishly and imbecile in the past seemed to have grown a lot in this moment.

"Come on, are you thinking of using death to evade responsibility? You are a three-year-old, no, a six-year-old." Hayato doubled Malik's age in a rare moment, "Don't involve other people who are worried about you, I don't want to see Isis She is crying and mourning for you. Thinking about that image makes you feel unhappy."

"Thank you for taking me in during this time, brother-in-law." Malik said with a smile, "Although you have never admitted it, I recognize you. Take good care of your sister, she is a very gentle person."

Hayato waved his hand and said nothing, but with a thought, he released the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel]'s restraint on the soul. From the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom], Malik's soul was protected by Hayato with dark magic power and sent into Malik's body with a vacant soul.

Before being sent into the body, Malik looked at Hayato with a bright smile that was quite suitable for his age instead of his usual appearance: "Goodbye, brother-in-law. No matter what, I can reunite with the people I care about, no. No matter if it’s my sister who is still alive or my brother Lishid who was killed by me.”

Hayato looked at Malik strangely, who was about to submerge into his body: "Who told you that Lishid is dead?"

"Why?"

"Did you think that the other you killed Lishid? You're thinking too much, you six-year-old, no, three-year-old." Hayato said proudly, "Only that guy Tapiryo still wants to Killing someone in front of me? Don’t even think about it. Lishid was just unconscious because he was attacked, he wasn’t dead at all.”

"I'm afraid he will be fully recovered by the time we return to Doshino City." As he spoke, Hayato raised his hand and flicked his finger on Malik's soul body, "So stay alive and return to Doshino City." Look at Lishid, and spend your life atone for my sins, you eternal three-year-old."

Malik's soul entered the body. Hayato had a look of disgust on his face, but without any hesitation in his hand movements, he began to manually press Malik's chest to restore his breathing.

At the same time, Hayato used the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] to control the flow of dark magic in Malik's body, helping him to clear and recover the hidden wounds left in his body due to the dark game.

It was only then that the door to the room was pushed open. Kaiba and Yugi walked at the front. As soon as they entered the room, they felt the heat that had not dissipated in the room.

Seeing Malik being "rescued" by Hayato in the corner of the room, Keppei, who was following Kaiba, was quite surprised: "Isn't this guy Malik Isildar? He has been missing for so long, how could he suddenly appear in Hayato's presence? In brother’s room?”

"Malik..." And Isis saw Malik who looked like he was dead. Although she had always acted like she wanted to kill her relatives righteously, at this moment she saw her biological brother lying on the ground as if he was dead, and she couldn't help it. I can't help but feel sad.

He handed Malik to the medical staff who came with him and took away his deck. Hayato saw the sad expression on Isis's face and comforted him: "The Malik now is the same person as before."

"Hayato-kun..."

"Dark Malik sneaked in here to attack me, and then he was removed from my body because he lost the dark game. Then, I put Malik's soul on the outside back into my body." Looking at it. Malik was lifted up on a stretcher. Hayato continued, "The soul of darkness has been shattered by me. What happens next depends on Malik's own creation."

"After all, not everyone studies the soul, and I don't know what his next ending will be."

"However, before being sent into the body, he repented."

Hayato's words were indeed useful. After hearing that Malik had repented, Isis felt somewhat relieved despite being worried and sad.

Malik, who was in a coma, was taken away by the medical staff. As a member of Malik's family, Isis also accompanied him away. Kaiba took the Kaiba Group security team headed by Isono to confirm that there was no more danger in the room, and then left. Arriving in front of Hayato.

"Hmph, you really have a lot to do, Hayato Kobayashi."

"It's not that I want to be like this. I also want to organize my deck." Hayato spread his hands helplessly and said, "Sett, you are so slow. I really have to rely on your words to wait for you to catch me. My blood ran cold."

"Hmph, don't do this, I don't think you will be killed so easily." Haima seemed to have a terminal disease that "if you don't hum, you will die", he said "hum" every sentence, "Since there is nothing wrong , then prepare well for the next duel. Also, don’t think that I will just forget about what happened in the group stage!”

After saying that, Kaiba turned around and walked towards the door.

Looking at Yugi beside him, Hayato shrugged: "It's all your fault, Yugi. Just because of your [Transposition], Sett completely relies on me."

"But, I don't want to face Jonouchi either." Omo Yugi appeared at this moment. Hearing Hayato's words, he scratched the back of his head shyly. And what he said won the "strong lock man" in the city who came with him.

"Let me tell you, during the group stage, you all thought that you wouldn't be grouped with me, right?" Jonouchi held Yugi's starfish head between his hands and said with some dissatisfaction, "Be grouped with me. Isn’t it embarrassing for a group to duel?”

"Just think about it, it must be because Jonouchi is too weak to challenge you." Honda complained, successfully diverting Jonouchi's attention, and being "strongly locked in" by Jonouchi changed from the game to Honda.

While fooling around with Honda, Jonouchi looked at Hayato and Yugi and said confidently: "When I dueled with Mai before, I didn't use my full strength. When I duel with Kaiba, I must show you how powerful I am. !”
