Chapter 73 Visitors From Extraterrestrial Space

After watching Seth leave his stone temple, Akhnadi also withdrew his attention and turned back to continue processing several stone slabs in his temple.

He has served as a priest since the time of the previous pharaoh King Aknamkanon. Naturally, Aknam's collection of stone monsters can be said to be quite rich.

Moreover, because the [Millennium Artifact] he holds is not only the effect of opening the lock of the soul like the [Millennium Key], but also the [Millennium Eye] that has the ability to reveal the true face of the power of monsters, Akhnadi In addition to meeting the standard in strength, the slate monsters also have various effects.

After all, he has experienced many things and knows that sometimes the stronger the slate monster is, the better. No one knows at what critical moment the special abilities of some seemingly weak slate monsters will come in handy.

If Akhnadi was not an ancient Egyptian three thousand years ago but a duelist living in modern times, then the duel monster deck corresponding to his stone temple must be filled with all kinds of strange cards.

Just like now, the reason why Akhnadi, whose body was injured by Bakura before, did not rest at his residence today but came to the Stone Slab Temple to stay up all night. It was not because of how diligent he was, but because Akhnadi He remembered that he once collected slate monsters that had the ability to absorb and transfer damage.

Although Akhnadi was lucky enough to wake up from his dark slumber due to the collective induction between all the priests when Mahad turned into an elf, Akhnadi knew that the dark power was still entangled On one's own body, constantly tormenting oneself.

This power does not only come from the injuries caused by Bakura, but is actually caused more by the rampaging [Millennium Eye] itself.

When Akhnadi was young, he had done an irreparable wrong thing. Just as Akhnadi himself warned Seth, because of his guilt, a gap had already appeared in his soul, and he was "evil". "The [Millennium Artifact] was soaked under the power of the [Millennium Eye]. It was only because of Aknadi's personal practice that he had been able to suppress it reluctantly over the years without causing an attack.

However, because Bakura deflected Akhnadi's attack, the power of the [Millennium Eye] went berserk, and the gap in the soul was instantly widened. The dark magic penetrated into Akhnadi's body along this place, and it kept coming from his ears. The whispers continued to torture his nerves.

It was precisely for this reason that he came to his temple to seek relief with the help of the power of the Slate Elf.

A meat ball-like slate monster was summoned by Akhnadi. After confirming that no one was around, Akhnadi used the power of the [Millennium Eye] to control the magic power in his body and transfer it to the monster's body. Just like a blood exchange, the dark power entangled in the body seemed to be transferred to the flesh-ball-like monster with the disappearance of Aknadi's magic power.

Under Akhnadi's gaze, an eye child gradually appeared on the flesh ball. If you look closely, you will see that there are dozens of eyeballs on this green flesh ball, which looks quite eye-catching.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead a little, and losing a lot of magic power in one breath was a heavy burden for Aknadi, but it was also a necessary procedure to treat his own injuries. During the period of losing his magic power, Akhnadi himself could be said to be in a state of complete powerlessness. He could only maintain a certain vitality in this stone temple. This is why Akhnadi asked soldiers to guard the entrance of the temple and not let him go. Others break in.

On the other hand, if an uninformed person saw what he had done to the flesh-ball-like slate monster in front of him, he would probably think that he was carrying out some horrific evil. Transformation experiment.

The meatball-like slate monster touched the eyeballs that appeared on his body, not caring that Akhnadi injected evil magic into his body, and happily arched Akhnadi's body.

"The slate monster that can absorb magic power can come in handy at times like this. The habit of collecting slates really helped a lot." Touching the fleshy slate monster, Aknadi comforted him, "Don't worry. , I need a little time to recover my magic power, let me take a breath again, [Naji]."

From this name, we can know that the slate spirit summoned by Aknadi is the ace of the Bekaska group, [Naji Demon], who also obtained the [Millennium Eye] three thousand years later. However, compared to the distorted appearance of Bekas's [Nasa Demon], Akhnadi's slate elf named [Nasa] is closer to the eyeless [Thousand-Eyed Cult God].

Resting against the wall, Akhnadi was thinking about things while recovering his magic power. Tomorrow morning Seth said that he would report today's events to the Pharaoh, and Akhnadi would assist Sharda in reenacting Hayato Kobayashi's example to awaken the elves in his heart.

Because it was Seth's need, even if he had to stay up a little late, Akhnadi wanted to solve his own problems, adjust his condition, and do his best tomorrow so as not to let Seth down. However, despite thinking this way, Akhnadi is still a human being after all, not a machine. Healing his own injuries depends on the recovery speed of his magic power, so there is no need to rush.

But speaking of the awakened elf, Akhnadi felt that his habit of collecting slates seemed to be on the rise again. Just listening to Seth's description could not understand everything about the elf that Kobayashi Hayato had awakened. He really wanted to see it in person. What does it look like?

Thinking of this, even though Aknadi was already very old, he couldn't help but blush a little. It is because of this hobby that he has been responsible for managing and storing stone slabs since the time of the previous pharaohs. For more than ten years, he has actually taken advantage of his position to go to other priests' temples to look at the stone slabs he liked.

If I were not in this country, but in a remote village, I might be able to become a collector...

Shaking his head to let the thoughts in his mind dissipate, Akhnadi felt that his magic power had recovered, so he stood up and injected his magic power into the [Sacrifice] in front of him again.

I am indeed getting older, and for some reason I start to think about such impossible things. Alas, time is not forgiving.

Although I can't see Kobayashi Hayato's elf, it's a comfort to be able to see Shada's elf on the spot tomorrow.

Speaking of which, it seems that the age of the Pharaoh and Seth are not much different. The Pharaoh has already ascended the throne and is almost ready to marry the princess. Should I also start doing some ideological work for Seth so that he can marry a wife and have children as soon as possible?

Closing his eyes, Akhnadi transferred his magic power into [Naji]'s body, and the whispers in his ears became quieter and quieter.

However, he forgot one thing.

Although he had specifically confirmed that there was no one else in the temple the first time, while he was resting and recovering his magic power, someone actually sneaked in secretly, and while he was injecting magic power into the [Sacrifice], he quietly The ground approached behind Emperor Akna!

With the help of the "transparency" power shared by the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom, Bakula remained invisible and entered the stone temple of Akhnadi, which he had already chosen as his destination, and saw at a glance what he was standing there. Aknadi was concentrating on injecting magic power into his stone monster at the altar.

"Ha, I found you, Priest Akhna." With a ferocious smile on his face, Bakula remained transparent and climbed onto the altar without Akhna being aware of it. His Anakin approached little by little, "Originally, I thought you wouldn't be able to wake up after being so seriously injured before, but you turned out to be beyond my expectations. I really have to admire your will."

As the distance got closer, Bakula naturally noticed what Akhnadi was doing to [Naji], and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "However, even you must use the power of elves to transfer Is it the dark power within yourself? Haha, it’s not a good habit to rely on external forces, but since you like it so much, I’m here to help you.”

While saying words that no one could hear but himself, Bakula, who was standing behind Aknadi, raised the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel] on his chest, holding a sharp golden cone hanging from it, and suddenly It penetrated into Anakinadi's back!

"Ugh!" Akhnadi cried out in pain when he was suddenly attacked, but what was incomprehensible was that he seemed to be asleep and didn't even realize that he had just made a sound, and continued to offer sacrifices to the person in front of him. Infused with its own magic power.

As the golden cone of the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] pierced into Aknadi's body, Bakula took the opportunity to inject more evil thoughts and dark power into Aknadi's body. The magic power that could originally have a diluting effect was All of it was injected into the body of [Naji Demon]. At this moment, Akhnadi's body was defenseless and completely exposed to the extremely high concentration of dark magic, causing him to suddenly open his closed eyes in the next moment!

“Uh-huh--!

! "Because his mouth was covered by Bakula, Akhnadi raised his head and couldn't scream, and the [Millennium Eye] on his left eye was shining with golden light, resonating with the power of the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom]. On!

"That's it, come and absorb more, [Millennium Eye], absorb the evil thoughts in [Millennium Wisdom Wheel], and then pollute your host." Bakula laughed proudly, "Let me see Under the guise of the past, what kind of villain is the true face of the respected priest? Fall into darkness and join me!"

"Although it seems a bit subtle to say it at this time, it is just like three thousand years ago!"

The power in the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom] was injected into Aknadi's body almost unreservedly by Bakula. When he opened his right eye, the white of his eye was dyed into a deep black bit by bit, and not even a trace of it could be seen. The light, this spread of evil thoughts was even injected into [Naji] who was in contact with him.

The slate monster, which feeds on magic power and can even swallow the power of darkness, absorbed all the magic power from Aknadi without restraint, but did not notice that as the evil thoughts were injected into it, the eyeballs on its body also became violent. After a sudden increase in growth, the originally round body quickly shriveled up and became emaciated, and his appearance became closer and closer to that of the [Sacrificial Demon] three thousand years later!

———The dividing line that passed overnight————

"Lord Aknadi?"

The voice in his ears brought the somewhat dazed Akna Emperor back to his senses. He turned to look at Priest Shada who was looking at him.

"Are you okay, Lord Akhnadi?"

Hearing Shada's words, Akhnadi nodded and showed a kind smile: "It's nothing, Shada, I was just a little distracted."

"Although it's a bit too much, I still want to say something about you. You actually stayed up all night in the temple without falling asleep. Your previous injury has not healed yet. What you need most is to rest." Looking at Akhnadi, Xia Da sighed and said, "I went to your residence to look for you this morning and found that you were not there. I went to the Slate Temple and found you sleeping on the altar."

"It's a good thing that there are torches lit in the temple, otherwise you might still get cold and sick."

"Haha, thank you for your concern, Shada." Akhnadi smiled and looked around.

Because the two priests, Isis and Karim, were ordered by the Pharaoh to go to the Valley where the royal family rests, where the ancestors of the Pharaoh are buried, and the sacrifice of Mahad, today it is necessary to discuss the kingdom's affairs with the Pharaoh. There were only four people left, Shada, Seth, Aknadi, and Simon, the pharaoh's personal attendant.

In the main hall at this moment, because the time has not yet come, the Pharaoh and Priest Simon have not arrived yet, only Xia Da and himself.

When did you come to the palace? Akhnadi felt that his head was a little confused. He guessed that he stayed up too late yesterday and fell asleep directly. When he woke up in the morning, he was a little confused due to lack of sleep. He looked like a seventy-year-old man holding on to the armrest. He is just like an old man who can fall down three times in a row while walking up the stairs, who forgets his words in the middle of a conversation, who accidentally loses control while sitting and chatting, and who can't stand firmly while riding a bicycle.

However, the effect of staying up late is quite good. Akhnadi felt that the discomfort he had been feeling entangled with the dark magic in the past few days had completely disappeared, and the whispers in his ears had also completely disappeared. He went back today to make up for it. If you sleep, maybe you will be completely fine tomorrow.

But what Akhnadi is more concerned about is that at this time Seth should come to the hall to wait for the Pharaoh. He has always been a very punctual person. Why is he going to be late today? He can't do it then. Let Pharaoh wait for him.

Just when he thought of this, Akhnadi saw the Pharaoh and Priest Simon walking out one after another from the passage leading from the palace to the main hall.

An Yuxi walked all the way to the throne and sat down. When Priest Simon stood beside him and was ready to listen to the pharaoh's instructions, he faced Shada and Aknadi who were kneeling respectfully at the foot of the steps and was about to say something. What, suddenly my heart trembled, as if I sensed something.

Standing up from the throne that was still warm, An Yuxi suddenly ran towards the window sill outside the hall, regardless of explaining to Simon and others, he looked straight at the sky outside.

In the eyes of others, the sky is clear and cloudless, but in the eyes of An Yugi who can see a piece of [Millennium Building Block] hanging from the sky, something seems to have fallen on that half of [Millennium Building Block] at this moment. It fell and fell to the earth! ?
