Chapter 705: You Have At Least Three Sentences to Say to Me
"Fusion Summon! Quintet Magician!"
Five energy spheres displaying magic circles merged into the figure behind Hayato, who maintained the same stance with his left hand raised high. The Sai Q Magician—Quintet Magician—made its grand appearance!
[Quintet Magician] [Level 12/Dark]
[Spellcaster Type/Fusion/Effect]
[4500/4500]
"It appeared! The Highest-Level Magician that once used Super Polymerization to instantly defeat my Older Sister, with ATK equal to Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Quintet Magician!" Seeing Quintet Magician appear, the most excited person was none other than Marik, who was watching the duel. "As expected of my Brother-in-law, easily doing what we couldn't. I truly worship you!"
Joey Wheeler, standing nearby, couldn't help but comment, "Why are you so excited when talking about your own Older Sister's defeat?"
"Im-impossible, they were clearly just a bunch of weak monsters, and how were they even remotely similar to each other? How could they Fusion Summon such a monster?" The Gravekeeper's Elder looked at the appearance of Quintet Magician with a look of disbelief. "D-damn it, with 4500 ATK, it can deal 2200 points of damage to me just by attacking the Ultimate Insect LV5 on my Field!"
The Gravekeeper's Elder looked at his meager 1800 Life Points with unwillingness. He was just short of the Ultimate Insect LV5's ability to decrease the ATK of all monsters on the Opponent's Field by 500 points. He was only one effect away from victory, just 500 points of dam—
"Your next sentence is, 'If only my Ultimate Insect LV5 could use its effect!'"
"If only my Ultimate Insect LV5 could use its effect—what!?"
Seeing the Gravekeeper's Elder's look of astonishment, Hayato couldn't help but sneer, "Idiot, your calculations were already within my expectations. Even if your Ultimate Insect LV5 could use its effect, or even evolve to LV7, it wouldn't make a difference. It fundamentally cannot change the ending!"
"This card's effect can only be activated when it is Fusion Summoned successfully using five different Spellcaster Type monsters as material. Destroy all cards on the Opponent's Field!" As he spoke, Hayato pointed towards the sky. "At the instant Quintet Magician, which gathered the power of five different Spellcaster Type monsters, descended, like humans bowing to the sun, all your cards will bow before me and meet their destruction!"
"Hand Shadow of the God of Destruction!"
Shouting the attack name that seemed to have no meaning, Quintet Magician behind Hayato slightly raised its wrist. An energy sphere instantly formed, carrying a magic circle, and teleported above the Gravekeeper's Elder's head. In an instant, countless beams of light were released from the energy sphere, sweeping across his Field.
"Boom!"
Doom Dozer with 2800 ATK and Ultimate Insect LV5 with 2300 ATK had no difference in power before this destructive power. They were hit and destroyed almost simultaneously, sent to the Graveyard. The Gravekeeper's Elder's Field became completely empty in just a single breath!
"My monsters!" Seeing the monsters he used to protect himself swept away in an instant, the Gravekeeper's Elder's expression was panic. "D-damn it, doesn't that mean I'm not protected anymore!"
"Even now, are you still thinking about such unnecessary things? How pathetic." Hayato waved his hand and ordered, "This is the last attack. Go, Quintet Magician! Take this! Nanto Suichoken Ultimate Mystery—Hishou Hakurei!"
Although it was a Spellcaster Type, due to Hayato's preference, Quintet Magician helplessly struck a practiced attack stance. Using its powerful magic power, it instantly teleported itself in front of the Gravekeeper's Elder, then clenched its right hand, infused with all its magic power, into a fist and swung it out, smashing it into the Gravekeeper's Elder's face!
"Uwaaaah—!!"
The Gravekeeper's Elder, whose face had been severely struck for the third time, was directly blasted away by Quintet Magician's attack. While wailing, his Life Points also went to zero.
[Elder: 1800 LP → 0]
As the duel ended, Hayato walked towards the direction of the fallen Gravekeeper's Elder. Passing by Quintet Magician, he patted its shoulder, and the latter nodded to Hayato. The moment they passed each other, its figure dispersed and returned to the card.
Upon seeing the Elder, who was considered one of the strongest among the Clan in terms of Duel Rituals, defeated by Hayato, the Black-Robed Figure who had surrounded everyone with knives brought by the Gravekeeper's Elder also panicked slightly. Ignoring Joey Wheeler and Yugi, they ran directly towards the Gravekeeper's Elder who was knocked to the ground, seemingly intending to protect the Elder and intercept Hayato to prevent him from getting close.
However, no matter how you looked at it, they were just going through the motions. Every step Hayato took closer, the Black-Robed Figure, forming a human wall with expressions of facing death, took a step closer with the knives in their hands, fundamentally not daring to narrow the distance with Hayato by even an inch.
Even when they had nowhere left to retreat, this human wall actually opened up a Passage on its own, leading directly to the Gravekeeper's Elder who was still lying on the ground, groaning and wailing. They were comparable to the bodyguards around a certain open-minded person, providing absolutely no protective effect.
Hayato didn't care about these bluffing guys who held knives but didn't even dare to make eye contact with him. He walked directly towards the Gravekeeper's Elder, ignoring his reaction, and directly reached out to grab his left hand wrist, intending to remove the Golden Duel Disk he was wearing with a method he had unaccountably become skilled at.
However, the moment Hayato grabbed his wrist, the Gravekeeper's Elder surprisingly unleashed a burst of his potential. He forcefully used his other hand to grab Hayato's left hand, which was about to undo the Duel Disk harness, with a pleading expression.
But would Hayato care about that? In his despair-filled gaze, Hayato didn't hesitate to pry open his fingers and take off the Duel Disk.
Although Marik said that this Duel Disk seemed to have been something that existed in the Clan since his childhood, after taking it, Hayato found that while its weight was somewhat heavy, it was far too light compared to the expected weight. It didn't have the heaviness of a golden item on the outside at all.
Upon closer inspection, Hayato immediately noticed something was wrong and confirmed his conjecture was correct.
Attempting to draw a card from the Golden Duel Disk, Hayato, after switching from the Opponent's perspective to the User's perspective, immediately noticed that the Deck Zone of this Duel Disk, besides the card slot for placing the Deck, was hollow on the side and contained other cards besides the Main Deck, such as Graceful Charity, Raigeki, and Mirror Force.
Even the card slot for placing the Deck itself had a small mechanism! It could automatically move powerful cards to the desired position when shuffling cards!
"Just as I thought." Hayato removed the Duel Disk he had worn for the experiment and looked contemptuously at the Gravekeeper's Elder slumped on the ground. "This guy is fundamentally just scum who cheats in duels, even worse than Keith. At least his hand speed was trained through strength."
Yugi, who had also noticed something earlier, nodded when he heard Hayato confirm that the opponent was a cheater. He looked at the Gravekeeper's Elder with some anger. "Cheating? So that's how it is. What a disgusting guy, and he even uses the same Insect Type."
Hearing Yugi and Hayato's words, the ones with the biggest reaction weren't the others, but the Black-Robed Figure surrounding them.
"Elder, he actually cheated in the sacred Duel Ritual? How is that possible?" "Why would the strongest Elder in the Clan cheat? There's no reason!" "I cannot accept this!"
Marik walked up to Hayato, glanced at the Golden Duel Disk discarded on the ground by Hayato, and after inspecting the mechanism that Hayato had uncovered up close, a proud smile appeared on his face. "I knew it. How could an old man who fundamentally just sees Duel Monsters as a tool for his power strife be able to draw whatever card he wanted? Turns out he relied on cheating."
"In the Tomb Keepers, this old guy, besides managing the punishment, was also responsible for guarding the precious items passed down in the Clan and had a certain authority to use them. Relying on this privilege, he manufactured this cheat item, imitating the Golden Duel Disk already existing in the Clan. He utilized the blind spot where others didn't have the right to inspect precious items. Heh, what a despicable guy."
"In that case, I understand. It's because of this external force that you, old man, were able to defeat others in the Clan. After all, compared to others who rely on luck to draw cards, your chances of victory were undoubtedly much higher knowing your Deck's arrangement beforehand. It's even because of this reason that you didn't want to activate the effect of the Dragonmaid Laundry Dragon you got from my Brother-in-law just now."
"But, you, like this, were mercilessly defeated by my Older Sister." Marik paused, seemingly recalling some unpleasant memory, and murmured with some regret, "In the way of Exchange of the Spirit, which crushed me countless times..."
Hearing Marik's words, the Gravekeeper's Elder sitting on the ground seemed to be enraged. He no longer cared about despair and wailing, or perhaps that resentment outweighed the despair, and he said angrily, "That little girl, relying on her bloodline to inherit the Millennium Necklace passed down in the Clan, for such a ridiculous reason, how can she suppress me!"
"What 'strongest User in a thousand years'? What if I can plan in advance what cards I'll draw? That bastard isn't even more excessive? He can even predict what cards I've set up to draw and then counter my counter, leaving me stuck at my current position as Elder. I wanted to be the Clan Head!"
"Since she can use a cheat item like the Millennium Necklace, what does it matter if I use this item!"
As he spoke, the Gravekeeper's Elder stopped himself, looking at his hands with a terrified expression. "I, I... how did I say everything!?"
He had just been thinking that even though his cheating had been exposed, if he played the victim and made up a reason, he might be able to fool the few young kids in front of him. As for the Subordinate he brought with him, he could easily deceive them by explaining it as "shameless false accusation" based on his prestige in the Clan over the years, and continue to maintain his image as the "strongest of the Gravekeeper's."
As long as he got away, he could immediately regroup his Troops to kill these bastards who had shamed him and silence them. But why, why did he blurt out the inner thoughts he had planned to keep hidden!?
"Are you perhaps wondering why you spoke your inner thoughts?" Hayato smiled coldly. The Millennium Key and Millennium Rod hanging at his waist were revealed, emitting a faint golden light. "Wasn't it you who presumptuously initiated a Dark Game against me?"
"When you made that Duel Disk, you must have misappropriated some item to grant it dark power, right? But unfortunately, when it comes to authority in Dark Games, I am still above you. However, I didn't set any heavy punishment. I merely placed the magic power of these two Millennium Items on your body. After all, there is no Duelist more compassionate than me."
Hayato squatted down, looking at the terrified Gravekeeper's Elder, and pointed at the Millennium Ring. "Look, when it lights up, someone is going to die. When someone is going to die, someone will cry. And when someone is to cry, they have to speak their inner thoughts."
"Speak. You have at least three sentences to say to me."
The Gravekeeper's Elder looked at the Millennium Ring, which was emitting a faint panic. The dark magic power was pressing down on his nerves almost without reservation. He tried hard to close his mouth, but he simply couldn't.
"To weaken Ishizu's prestige, I fabricated rumors. Ishizu, despite being the Gravekeeper's Family Leader, doesn't stay in the Clan properly. She must be lovesick and wants to fall in love, which is why she hasn't returned to the Clan, wasting the Clan Head's resources. If it were me, I would definitely, definitely do worse than her! After all, I've worked so hard for so long, marketed my persona in the Clan for so long, all for the sake of becoming the Clan Head and enjoying it!"
The Millennium Key opened his heart, and the Millennium Rod controlled his thought. The Gravekeeper's Elder spoke his inner thoughts without reservation.
Hayato raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat displeased, and gently shook his head, his eyes narrowing. "Not that sentence."
"Hehe, you're done for this time. My Brother-in-law is very petty." Marik said with a wicked smile. "Guess why I call him Brother-in-law?"
The Gravekeeper's Elder's eyes widened. He looked at Hayato in disbelief, never expecting that the rumors he had fabricated were actually true, that Ishizu, that little girl, had actually found a man outside, and it happened to be the one in front of him.
He wanted to beg for mercy in his heart, but the Gravekeeper's Elder once again said something he didn't want to say. "Six years ago, I was the one who found a way to lure Malik Ishtar, that kid, outside the Tribal Land to violate the Ancestral Teachings, thinking of using this to overthrow his Father's position. I never expected that this kid would directly kill his old man. That's even better, I have a greater opportunity to become the Clan Head, but it's all Ishizu's fault for obstructing me again!"
"Huh!?" The wicked smile on Marik's face paused for a moment. He looked at the Gravekeeper's Elder, appearing somewhat angry. To be honest, he wasn't a good person, but killing his own father was something he couldn't do. If his father hadn't angrily punished Rishid for not watching him properly at that time, causing The Other Self to emerge, his father wouldn't have died.
And this actually came from the calculations of this disgusting guy in front of him!? The wrath of being used as a tool made Marik punch the Gravekeeper's Elder in the face.
His face struck for the fourth time, the Gravekeeper's Elder was painfully knocked to the ground. But as he covered his bleeding nose and was about to wail, he found that the control over him seemed to be dispelled.
"Not that sentence either." Looking at the Gravekeeper's Elder's face covered in bloodstains, Hayato shook his head again.
Hayato's words also reminded the Gravekeeper's Elder that his life seemed to be in the hands of the person in front of him. As the winner of the Dark Game, Hayato could kill him at any time. He immediately begged for mercy, "Please, spare me. I will never again covet Ishizu's... ah, no, I will never again covet Elder Ishizu's position!"
Looking at the disheveled Gravekeeper's Elder, Hayato shook his head again. "Honestly, I still prefer the way you were being stubborn just now. Unfortunately, it's not that sentence either."
As he spoke, Hayato extended his finger and pointed it at the Gravekeeper's Elder's forehead. In an instant, a vast amount of magic power surged into his brain, crashing around.
