Chapter 19 The Real and Fake Princess
Several people no longer cared about what was inside the city and hurriedly ran outside. The originally bright sky turned extremely gloomy, with dark clouds covering the sun and occasional lightning and thunder, making it look like the end of the world.
Even the dark clouds in the sky kept getting lower, as if they were about to collapse the castle of the Kingdom of Korando, which was built high on the mountain.
Yugi looked at the black clouds, and the hair on his body stood up. That's not a black cloud at all, it's a dense mass of flying monsters flying out of the [City of Darkness] on the horizon, heading towards the Kingdom of Corando!
"Are you kidding me about this number!" Jonouchi swallowed nervously, "I originally thought the number of enemies was too large, thousands or tens of thousands, but how many monsters are there now? It's almost over 100,000 It’s a million!”
"Princess, it's very dangerous here. Please go back to the castle quickly!"
The nurse's voice came from beside him, and Keppei and Princess Mary walked out of the dressing room side by side, and also came to the terrace. But what is a bit strange is that Princess Mary, who has a somewhat gentle personality, rejected the wet nurse quite forcefully at this moment, while Keppei, who has an outgoing personality, looked at the army of monsters in the sky with some fear.
"Their target is 'me'." Princess Mary said, but her voice sounded a little subtle. As she spoke, "she" avoided Hayato's subtle gaze. For some reason, "she" felt that Hayato had seen through her identity.
"You want to capture Princess Mary as a sacrifice? It's not that easy!" Jonouchi was a little scared at first, but after knowing that there was someone behind him who needed protection, he mustered up the courage and patted the animal skin clothes on his body. Covering her chest, "Just stay behind me, princess, we will protect you."
"There are too many monsters. Everyone, use cards that can clear the field in a wide area." Yugi said as he summoned [Dark Magician Girl], and then activated the magic card [Black·Magic·Guide·Explosion· crack·break】.
The huge magic missile blasted into the monster army, and the explosion swallowed up a large area of the gathered enemies, successfully blocking part of the attack.
Fearing that they would be easily annihilated by gathering together again, the monsters in the air dispersed, increasing the distance between them. But before they could relax, saw wheels, flying needles, lasers, missiles and cannons accurately targeted them and annihilated them one by one.
Relying on the powerful propulsion of its armor to soar in the air, the [Armed Dragon Battery Cannon] poured out firepower wantonly, becoming a complete anomaly in the surrounding era of swords and magic. But for the soldiers on the ground, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat if it can catch mice; whether it is magic, bows and arrows, or strange muskets, it is a good thing if it can kill monsters.
For a moment, the monsters' attack was blocked. However, in addition to the monsters themselves, they also brought some quite dangerous things from [City of Darkness].
Carried by two [Midnight Demons], a dangerous-looking magic cannon was aimed at the castle below. The dark magic was poured into the muzzle of the cannon through the guidance of the surrounding monsters. If they were allowed to launch successfully, the resistance of the soldiers below would be instantly defeated.
At this moment, accompanied by an eagle cry, the three sisters of the Peacock Dance [Harpy] each held a feather sweep and joined the battle in the air. They specifically look for those siege equipment to launch an attack. Every time they wave the [Harpy's Feather Sweep] in their hands, strong winds can always set off and destroy those equipment.
Seeing how hard the other three were working, Jonouchi also drew a card: "If you want to kidnap a sacrifice, you have to pass our level first. Come on [Magic Knight Kiltia]!"
Although he wanted to complain, "Why did you get so far away now?", Hayato cooperated with the [Magic Knight] summoned by Jonouchi and activated the [Dragon-Slaying Sword] to equip it.
Because they have no flying ability, the [Magic Knights] in the city simply take over the rescue mission on the ground. Whenever a monster breaks through the air defense and wants to land here, the [Magic Knights] can always take swift steps to get there in time. He arrived before it hit the ground and killed it with a sword.
On the surface, things look great.
However, what Hayato and the others are facing now is just the vanguard of the monsters. As time goes by, the number of monsters increases and their quality gradually improves. From the beginning, [Gargoyle] and [Demon Dragon] gradually strengthened to [Dark Chimera] and [Tava Scimitar Demon]. Superior monster.
First it was the [Harpies], and then the [Magic Knights]. The monsters in Jonouchi and Peacock Mai were destroyed one after another because of the increasingly powerful monsters. Although they summoned new monsters again, they were about to I insisted that I didn’t want to go.
Yugi frowned and pulled out a card from the deck: "Although the risk of using this card is very high now, I can't worry about it anymore!"
"I activate the magic card [Black Hole]!"
In front of Yugi, a black dot appeared out of thin air and quickly flew towards the army of monsters in the air. As it flew, a powerful suction force swept across the entire place, as if it was sucking all matter into it. This card has the effect of destroying all monsters on the field indiscriminately. Not only the monsters in front of you, but also the monsters summoned by the game themselves will be destroyed.
Just as the effect of [Black Hole] was about to take effect, suddenly, a kunai came from a blind spot, piercing and nailing the [Black Hole] card in Yugi's hand to the wall, and the effect was forcibly interrupted.
Before Yugi could react, a huge fishing net enveloped Yugi, Hayato, "Kuihei", Jonouchi, and Maura Mai, restricting the movement of several people.
From the shadows, a masked ninja wearing a blue tights flew over the wall and came to the top of several people. Another net was thrown out, just covering the defenseless "Princess Mary" above the head. At the nanny's exclamation, the fishing net tightened instantly. Before being destroyed by the reacting [Dark Magician Girl], the [Blue-clothed Ninja] threw the princess into the air and was caught by a [Midnight Demon].
After successfully kidnapping the princess, the monsters no longer wanted to fight. No matter how angry the soldiers on the ground were, they refused to look back. They simply retreated and flew back to the [City of Darkness] in the sky.
"Princess!!!"
"Princess Mary!"
With the sad cry, the sky gradually cleared up, and "Kuihei", who was dressed in the same hero costume as the game, sat down and looked at the monsters gradually disappearing in the sky: "How could...Kuihei-sama" ..."
"Those hateful monsters actually took the princess—" Jonouchi gritted his teeth and threw the mace on the ground, but suddenly he reacted, "Huh? 'Kuihei-sama'?"
"Hey, can it be said that you are the one-!!"
"Kuihei" turned his head, revealing a tearful face.
It is hard to imagine that such a weak expression would appear on Keppei's face. Obviously, this "Kuippei" is the princess, and the one who was captured is Keppei!
