Chapter 107 Bakula - Shadow Dies Twice

"It's really beyond my expectation, Malikul Isildar, I thought you really ran away just now."

Seeing Bakula being knocked to the ground by the people brought by Maliku, Kalim, who had recovered from the impact of the liberation of the [Double-Headed Brontosaurus], looked at Maliku with contempt and said.

At this time, Maliku returned to the confident posture he had before escaping. He put the scepter in his hand on the ground, raised his head slightly and said arrogantly: "Oh, that only shows that you are too stupid, Priest Kali." Mum, you can’t tell that I was actually using a stratagem just now.”

Naturally, Kalim would not believe a word of Maliku's words. From the way he opened his mouth without hesitation at the beginning, Kalim could clearly see that if he and the others were fighting Bakula, If the battle is lost, let alone bringing people out to grab the heads, even if the remaining tomb-guarding clan is completely wiped out and the royal family's resting valley is destroyed, Malicu will probably run away without looking back.

This is a judgment made by Karim, who considers himself well-informed and knowledgeable, based on his own experience. Maliku's character is not much better than that of Bakula who was just killed.

However, thinking that this victory was hard-won, Kalim turned to look at Hayato and said seriously: "This time Bakura can be defeated, thanks to your appearance, Kobayashi Hayato."

Compared with the bad attitude and arrogance from the inside out when they first met, Kaiba was very surprised by Kalim at this moment, because in his understanding, since Kalim, as a noble, could not see If you go to Hayato, then you probably won't accept Hayato's love.

It seemed that he noticed something strange in the eyes of Kaiba looking at him. Karim said: "It is true that as a priest, I have always looked down upon Kobayashi Hayato, but it is also true that he came to save me. The aristocratic education I have received has always made me remember that 'a favor must be repaid'."

"Furthermore, even though I was not friendly to Mr. Hayato before, he still came here to help us thousands of miles away. Only now did I realize that Mr. Hayato has a golden quality that I have always admired. the spirit of."

"Yes, that's right. I am indeed such a gentleman with a golden spirit." Hearing Karim's words, Hayato was shameless enough and admitted it directly, earning a helpless smile from Isis beside him. .

Maliku also curled his lips when he heard Karim's words. He understood somewhat. "As a priest, he was saved by a commoner" probably made Karim very uncomfortable, so he changed his mind - as long as Hayato was praised as high as possible, wouldn't it be too obvious? It's not so hard to accept that I was saved by him.

Just like losing to Mr. Da Fei in the mid lane is not a shame at all. If you can fight back and forth, it will be considered a success. Killing once alone can be praised to the sky.

Kaiba watched everyone relax after Bakura was knocked down, snorted disapprovingly, turned around to Bakura who fell to the ground, and confirmed that he had been killed. Not only has his body temperature gone, but his breathing has also stopped.

"However, Bakura, an enemy of the entire kingdom, was actually killed by our hands. It is really a great achievement." Looking at the seahorse walking next to Bakura, he was very shameless. Riku also took the credit and said, "To end this dispute and restore the pharaoh's face and dignity, it can be expected that our benefits will definitely be indispensable."

But after hearing Maliku's words, Hayato shook his head: "It's over like this? What are you thinking? This is just the beginning. We couldn't kill anything at all."

Not only Maliku, but also Kalim and Isis didn't understand what Hayato said. Kaiba even picked up Bakura's collar and slapped him twice: "What are you talking about?" What, Hayato? This guy is undoubtedly dead, look, he didn’t even react to slapping him like this."

Hayato glanced at the fallen Bakura and said casually: "Bakura is not important at all."

"Bakula is very important!" Maliku and Karim said in unison. Bakula is their important political capital, how could it not be important? The two of them corrected Hayato.

"No, Bakura is not important." Hayato ignored the two people and repeated it. He looked at a few people and didn't know where to start. "It's hard to explain specifically. As long as you know clearly, Bakura is In fact, this guy was just an insignificant 'puppet' from the beginning to the end. There was someone else who really wanted to murder the pharaoh and overthrow the dynasty."

Others didn't think about it, but Kaiba remembered that Bakura was indeed just Bakura, and the other enemy Hayato said: "Is it Tapira? What you said dragged you and Yugi into this The mastermind behind the world of dark games?”

Hayato nodded, but looked at Kaiba who said the supernatural word "dark game" strangely: "Well, that's right, but I still want to complain about why you, who are all about science, are only talking about things like Are you willing to believe in idealism when playing cards-related fields?”

"Humph, isn't this a matter of course? Because the field of duel monsters is one that even I have not yet completely mastered. It is normal that there will be some situations that cannot be explained with my knowledge." Kaiba said matter-of-factly, "But this It's not magic or anything like that, at most it's just some science that hasn't been understood yet. One day I will use the power of science to fully control this power."

If the same words were said to other people, at most it would give people the idea that "this guy really knows how to talk big", but Kaiba's expression when he spoke was so confident that people couldn't help but believe that he could do everything he wanted. What you said.

However, several others did not recognize who Hayato and Kaiba mentioned as "Tapirya". The pronunciations of "Bakura" and "Tapirya" were exactly the same. Karim, who did not understand the meaning of what Hayato and Kaiba said, was a little confused. He said strangely: "Even if Bakura is really unimportant and just a pawn, there are other people behind the scenes who plan to use other pawns to continue to exist as a threat to the kingdom."

"However, strength is necessary. Monsters like [Diabond] have powerful power comparable to gods, and their vitality and growth are also truly cursed. It is abnormal for such a monster to exist in the world. , how is it possible for a second body to exist with considerable strength?"

Isis also nodded and affirmed: "Just as Priest Karim said, Hayato. Just now you have used the power of [Ra's Winged Dragon] to completely eliminate [Diabond], and with [ With the demise of Diabond, the [Millennium Jewelry], which has been blinded by darkness, has also regained its ability to foresee the future."

"Although my practice is still not enough to use this [Millennium Artifact], after I used [Millennium Jewelry] to see 114,514 future possibilities, there was no evil force that exceeded or even came close to [Di Yabond]’s monster.”

Seeing that both Isis and Karim didn't believe what he said, Hayato saw that Isis even brought out the [Millennium Jewelry] that could predict the future as evidence, and he helplessly spread his hands and said: "I didn't say I would do it again. A monster with the power to approach [Diabond] appears."

"When did you have the illusion that [Diabond] was killed?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Karim and Isis were also stunned. [Diabond] died in the fight with [Ra's Winged Dragon]. Several of them were witnesses to this. One person may have visions and see wrongly, but so many people saw wrongly. Yes, how is it possible?

"When people are killed, they will die. This is a matter of course." Reciting the famous saying of a certain archer, Hayato explained, "This is the same even for the slate monster. If it is seriously injured, even the person who lives in it will die." Stone slabs can also shatter. However, the physiques of stone slab monsters and stone slab monsters cannot be generalized."

"Unlike other slate monsters, which were created by sealing elves into the slate the day after tomorrow, [Diabond] is also a slate monster, but it was not created by anyone, but was born on its own."

Karim felt that his long-standing cognition had been challenged: "No way, how could there be a slate monster that was not made by humans?"

"To be honest, [Diabond] can indeed be regarded as a slate monster made by humans. However, the human here does not mean that the maker is human, but that the materials used to make it are humans."

Recalling the birth of [Diabond] and the massacre that Hayato already knew about and relived in the [Millennium Wheel of Wisdom], Hayato also became a little serious, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you just to explain it. I understand, then come with me to a place."

"The long-destroyed 'Village of Thieves' Clay Elna should be called this. Anyway, I will call it 'Village of Thieves'. I want to find two pieces in the ruins of the destroyed village. That thing, that is my next goal, I must destroy that thing before the people behind the scenes call the second chess piece."

With that said, Hayato extended an invitation to several people: "Now that Bakura has been killed and the second chess piece of the mastermind behind the scenes has not obtained the things in the thieves village for the time being, Karim and Isis, you should all be It’s still safe, even if the mastermind behind the scenes uses the second chess piece, he will choose to go to the Thieves Village first, so the choice is up to you whether you want to go with me or not.”

After hearing what Hayato said, Isis only thought for a moment and said without hesitation: "It feels safer to follow Hayato, so I will go to the 'Thieves Village' with you, and I'm still very curious. Hayato, what is that thing you are talking about."

Isis' words were very straightforward and full of purpose, but everyone present could hear Isis's subtext. She believed in Hayato and was willing to help him.

And Karim also said decisively: "I just said that I will remember your kindness. If I break my promise so soon, wouldn't it bring shame on my honor? Let me help you, Mr. Hayato."

If there is someone else behind the scenes, wouldn't it be possible to catch bigger fish by following Hayato? Karim, who is full of ambition, will never let go of the opportunity to go further.

As for Kaiba, Hayato has never asked him what he thinks from the beginning. After all, this guy who has always been vocal about his integrity has always shown that he is deliberately targeting Hayato, but the tacit understanding between the two has reached the point where they only need a pair of matching earrings. As long as he was tired, he would naturally follow Hayato to the thieves village.

The two people who were asked for their opinions expressed their willingness to go to the Thieves Village together, but one guy who was not asked about his thoughts by Hayato expressed a different opinion.

"Thieves' Village? What's the point of going to that rotten ruins? I'm not interested." Maliku said with a dead eye, "If you want to go, you can go, I will continue to stay here in the Valley of the Royal Family's Rest. If you have a good life and enjoy it, you will go to the desert to suffer——”

"Hey, Karim, what do you think about me telling the Pharaoh about the 'heroic performance' of the Tomb Guard clan when facing Bakura when I go back? And I think it would be good for Isis to be the leader of the Tomb Guard clan. "Hayato said casually to Karim, seemingly unintentionally.

When Maliku heard this, he suddenly changed his words and said seriously: "I suddenly feel that as the leader of the tomb guard clan, I still need to go to the thieves village with you. It's not because I'm afraid of being accused, but mainly because I'm like this." People’s hearts are devoted to Pharaoh and they are devoted to serving the country, and they cannot see anyone trying to do harm to Pharaoh.”

"Oh, just say it, I'll just take it as a joke." Kalim mocked Maliku.

In this way, Maliku "enthusiastically" accompanied Hayato and his group as they set off for the Thieves Village. Because the journey was long and they needed to cross the desert, they all switched to strong camels for the journey. As for the damage caused by Bakula in the Valley where the royal family rests, naturally there are people from the tomb-guarding clan who will take care of the aftermath.

Naturally, there were also people responsible for picking up the bodies and disposing of the dead Bakura.

A guard was assigned to deal with Bakura, but even if he only had to deal with the simplest task of dragging the corpse, the thin guard was still very tired. Who said Bakula wouldn't do it just to make a scene? Compared with the pharaoh An Yugi, he looked too shabby. He wore a lot of gold jewelry from before, and the guards did not dare to take off these jewelry to avoid being blamed by the priests and clan leaders who came back later.

After stopping for a moment to rest, the guards continued to drag Bakura, but before he could turn around, he suffered a heavy blow to the back of the head and fell directly to the ground.

Holding a brick in his hand, Bakula stood up with a pale face and a sneer on his lips: "Haha, hahahahaha, I won't die so easily. I actually escaped and picked up a brick again." Life, I, Bakura, am really lucky!”

"Fortunately, I went back to Claire's after getting the [Millennium Wisdom Wheel]. This body was strengthened by the aura of the underworld, which really allowed me to survive the previous attacks and deceive Kobayashi Hayato, hahahaha!"

Bakura chuckled softly, but did not notice that the shadow behind him was silently stepped on by a lion's claw.

"Without any further delay, I have to quickly return to Claire and resurrect [Diabond]. I can't let Hayato Kobayashi and the others get ahead of me." Bakula thought like this and threw it away. Just as Ban Brick was about to take a step, a huge force suddenly came from behind and pushed him down, and pressed hard on his back, preventing him from getting up!

"I, I can't breathe!" Bakula, who was pressed against his neck, turned his head with difficulty, only to see that the one sneaking up on his back was actually the Hot Sand Sphinx, "J-it's a beast like you!?"

Previously, the Hot Sand Sphinx was defeated by [Diabond] in a sneak attack. Fortunately, it was only slightly injured. It had actually woken up when the battle between Hayato and others ended. Now, the position between the attacked and the attacker Transformed, Bakura's life lay at the claws of the Hotsand Sphinx.

"Hey, it's just your words. There's nothing to be afraid of. As long as I summon any stone monster——" Bakula's words stopped abruptly as he was being suppressed. After much hindsight, he realized something - his wrist felt empty, and he didn't feel like he was wearing a gladiator disk! ?

Where is my gladiator plate? !

For the first time, Bakula suspected a person: "Xiao Lin, Falcon, person! Oh Nole!!"

Hayato is a habitual offender. He spends his whole day thinking about how to hairy people, how to hairy more people, and how to hairy more people. He definitely took away his fighting plate!

On the camel, Hayato suddenly sneezed and glanced subconsciously at the seahorse beside him who was wearing a gladiatorial plate he picked up from Bakura. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt like I was taking the blame for Kaiba.

However, no matter how much Bakura cursed Hayato, it was of no avail. The Hot Sand Sphinx brought its head close to Bakura's head and opened its mouth, and Bakura also remembered what Mariku had overheard before: "The souls of those killed by the Hot Sand Sphinx will also be torn apart by its claws, and will be tortured forever in its cosmic maw, with no way to escape."

Bakula suddenly felt that if he had really died before, it would have turned out to be a good thing?

Seeing that the sharp teeth were about to tear his body apart, Bakura wailed: "Don't come near me!!!"

However, there was no hesitation in the action of the Hot Sand Sphinx, and before Bakura lost consciousness, he had an inexplicable thought in his mind: 'If there is another life, I never want to have anything to do with the [Millennium Artifact]' Already...'

His consciousness completely dissipated.
