Chapter 770: Do You Dare Defy Me, Who Possesses the Millennium Ring?
Looking at the three people blocking his path, dressed in yellow, green, and black robes respectively and holding weapons, Hayato fell silent. He felt like he didn't know these three, yet also felt like he did; their goofy appearance was simply too familiar.
"Are you members of the Gravekeeper's who guard Necrovalley? I've come from the Royal City and want to confirm if Priest Karim and Priest Isis, who came here previously to escort Pharaoh Akhenam's mummy, have arrived?"
The oldest-looking man among the three who blocked the way, dressed in black, heard Hayato's words and scratched his nose dismissively. "Huh? Who do you think you are? You think I'll believe you just because you say you're from the Royal City?"
"Exactly. At least show us something that can prove your identity," the man in green chimed in. "Besides, you look like someone who would kill us. The evidence needs to have some weight."
As he spoke, the youngest-looking man, wearing yellow clothes, raised one hand and rubbed his fingers together like an Italian, while his other hand didn't even bother to hide it, opening directly with the palm facing up.
Was this asking for evidence? This was clearly asking for a bribe!
Seeing this, Kaiba just stood aside with a cold smile, arms crossed over his chest, watching Hayato, wanting to see how he would handle these three who were clearly shaking him down. Unlike Hayato, Kaiba Seto was in a state where the people of this world couldn't see him, so this obvious farce had nothing to do with him.
Hayato was amused by the words of the "Gravekeeper's Trio". Not to mention that Hayato didn't have any coin to use for bribery, even if he did, it was always other people's money that he swiped, never him giving money to others...
Ahem, no, the main point was that Hayato's heart was full of justice, and he couldn't tolerate even a speck of dust in his eye. He fundamentally couldn't stand the idea of bribing others for convenience and had to firmly resist it.
Only to see Hayato casually lift the Millennium Ring hanging on his chest and show a sour expression he had learned from Kaiba to the three people before him. "Hmph, you bunch of fourth-rate lackeys with third-rate weapons, look closely at what this is. Only the Pharaoh and the Priests possess one of the Millennium Items, the Millennium Ring. Do you dare defy me, who possesses the Millennium Ring?"
As he spoke, the corner of Hayato's mouth curved up, looking exactly like a reborn Crooked-Mouth Dragon King.
Looking at the Millennium Ring Hayato took out, the Gravekeeper's Trio were all stunned for a moment. After exchanging glances, Gravekeeper Yellow said with a shocked expression, "What, it's actually the Millennium Ring?!"
"When the two Priest Adults came to Necrovalley a few days ago, I also caught a glimpse of their Millennium Items. This is indeed the genuine article, no mistake!"
"It's actually a Priest Adult!?"
The arrogant attitude from just now instantly disappeared. After seeing Hayato pull out the Millennium Ring, the Gravekeeper's Trio's attitude completely changed. They shamelessly crowded around Hayato and started flattering him.
"This Priest Adult, this humble one didn't know your noble identity just now. Please give us the opportunity to turn over a new leaf."
"Priest Adult, please come this way. The other two Priest Adults you're looking for are inside. We'll take you to them right away."
"Priest Adult, be careful of the stairs~"
Hayato was welcomed into the Entrance of Necrovalley, surrounded by the three. As he walked, Hayato specifically turned back to look at Kaiba and shook the Millennium Ring he was holding at him. And seeing that the trouble was so easily resolved after Hayato took out the Millennium Ring, Kaiba, who didn't get to see a good show, curled his lip in disdain and followed Hayato.
"Don't call me Priest Adult," Hayato said casually, not quite used to the title. "Just call me Aniki."
"Okay, Aniki~" X3
Necrovalley. Although Hayato had seen the Field Spell Card with the same name in Ishizu's Deck before, he didn't expect that when he actually arrived at Necrovalley, the terrain here would look almost identical to the landscape on the card. After entering Inside the Valley from the narrow and empty Valley Entrance, which was perfect for defense, the first thing he saw was a Building standing in front of him.
The image of the Building was exactly the same as the image of the Temple of the Valley of the Kings. Hayato remembered that Ishizu seemed to have introduced it to him. The Temple's use was as a transit point before placing the Pharaoh's mummy into the Tomb, and various rituals were also performed and completed here. It could be considered quite an important Building.
However, no matter how important it was, the Temple was not as important as the many Pharaoh's Tombs behind it. Therefore, another use for this place was to serve as the second barrier to resist intrusion by Grave Robbers.
As for the first barrier? That was the Soldiers guarding the Valley Entrance, but in Hayato's opinion, whether the Gravekeeper's Trio beside him could serve as Guards was debatable.
As he was thinking, the group had already arrived before the Temple. Hayato, having gradually gone deeper into Necrovalley, also saw members of the Gravekeeper's other than the Gravekeeper's Trio beside him — Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier holding lances, Gravekeeper's Cannon Soldier keeping watch and on alert from the High Tower Inside the Valley, and even Gravekeeper's Servant dressed as slaves moving objects, and so on.
This wasn't to say that all the people in the Gravekeeper's were the Gravekeeper's Monster Cards Hayato had seen before, but rather that Hayato noticed their clothes were extremely similar to the Gravekeeper's Monsters that corresponded to their respective duties later on. It seemed the Gravekeeper's Deck was really highly accurate.
Hayato, who was completely undefended, approached the Temple under the guidance of the Gravekeeper's Trio. But just as they arrived at an Open Space before the Temple Stairs, the Gravekeeper's Trio, who had been flattering Hayato the moment before, suddenly scattered and ran away in all directions. Before Hayato could react to what was happening with them, a green half-circle protective barrier suddenly rose from the Open Space, covering both Hayato and Kaiba!?
The next instant, the Guards of the Gravekeeper's rushed over and surrounded Hayato, their gleaming spear tips pointed directly at Hayato, who was enveloped by the barrier. It was as if, as soon as Hayato made any move, they would all act together to finish him off.
"Heh heh ha ha ha, you've actually been locked up, Hayato Kobayashi."
As if seeing Hayato suffer a setback was a very happy thing, even Kaiba, who usually kept a straight face, couldn't manage his expression and laughed heartlessly beside him when he saw Hayato trapped, while also mocking Hayato aloud, "You're too pathetic. Looks like you didn't solve the trouble from before."
"Tch, hearing you say that, you're very brave, huh?" Hayato rolled his eye at Kaiba, who was speaking sarcastically, and looked at the energy barrier around him. Still not understanding what was going on, he looked at the Gravekeeper's Trio who had run back nearby and said, "Hey, what's going on!"
"What's going on? Idiot, do you think your lie can fool the incredibly smart me!" Gravekeeper Green said, sticking out his shiny bald head. "Don't think you can fool us into thinking you're a Priest of the Pharaoh just because you're holding the Millennium Ring?"
"Priest Karim and Priest Isis arrived here yesterday evening. They told us that Priest Mahad's Millennium Ring is currently unaccounted for. If someone is holding the Millennium Ring, they are definitely a liar!" Gravekeeper Black, whose nose was noticeably larger than the others, said proudly.
And Gravekeeper Yellow concluded, "So, you two guys are undoubtedly liars~"
"We Three Brothers saw through your lie long ago and deliberately led you here, and you really fell for it~"
Kaiba heard Gravekeeper Yellow's words but noticed the detail in his speech.
"...s?"
His eyebrow suddenly twitched. Feeling something was wrong, he reached out his arm to touch the green barrier in front of him, only to find that he, who should have been in an intangible state, could actually touch the barrier before him. He had originally planned to watch Hayato's good show, but he didn't expect that he himself would also be locked up. This caused Kaiba's expression to suddenly darken.
"Heh heh, although I don't know what's going on with you, don't think that kind of petty trick can work in this domain. This is a domain Priest Mahad personally set up here before. No one can sneak in without our eyes seeing them~"
And looking at the Gravekeeper's Trio's arrogance and the Gravekeeper's surrounding them menacingly outside the protective barrier, Hayato sighed. The Duel Disk he was wearing on his hand was about to undergo field setup to call upon the power of spirits and break through this barrier.
Even before coming, Hayato had some mental preparation because Isis had warned him that Necrovalley, guarded by the Gravekeeper's, was difficult to enter even for Priests without the Pharaoh's order. However, he didn't expect the trouble to be this severe.
He had originally thought that since they were somewhat allies, it wouldn't be good to resort to force. But this wasn't him wanting to use force; they were the ones who made the first move. In that case, he didn't need to pretend to be an upright gentleman anymore.
The symbol of The Winged Dragon of Ra quietly appeared in the first slot of the Duel Disk undergoing field setup. The air around Hayato also warmed up slightly, but before Hayato could summon The Winged Dragon of Ra, the Gravekeeper's surrounding him suddenly parted, making way.
The Guards all turned around and lined up, and even the Gravekeeper's Trio, who had been quite arrogant just now, quieted down and bowed in the direction they had cleared. One person walked out from the Temple in front of Hayato, calmly accepting the respectful greetings and worship of the Gravekeeper's. That rare golden hair and that arrogant, punchable expression made Hayato exclaim on the spot:
"Marik?"
"Hmm? Who is Marik? My name is Malik, Malik Ishtar, Clan Head and High Priest of the Gravekeeper's." Malik, whose name was exactly the same as Marik, said with a frown. "Who allowed you to raise your head and look directly at me, you rude wretch!"
"You mongrel who dared to steal the missing Millennium Ring, you should be grateful that the radiance of the Pharaoh still protects your insignificant self just for being able to touch a Millennium Item and remain undying. Yet you actually dared to impersonate a Priest of the Pharaoh and intrude into Necrovalley, which we Gravekeeper's guard. You are truly seeking your own death!"
"And that guy next to you wearing strange clothes who hasn't said a word, do you think you can escape the destiny of being sanctioned by me just by saying nothing? Ridiculous. Just your act of associating with that suspicious-looking Criminal is enough reason for me to sentence you to equal punishment!"
Malik's arrogance annoyed Kaiba greatly. His fists clenched tightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Hayato. "Speaking of which, is Ishizu Ishtar's younger brother, Malik Ishtar, as punchable and annoying as this guy?"
"There were two times when I was scheduled to study foreign languages with Ishizu, and Joey Wheeler and Marik went dueling. Those times, Grandpa Solomon's Card Shop was filled with Dueling Shouts. So, Marik is probably a Sunshine Youth like me, who upholds the idea of 'bringing smiles through duels'," Hayato said, looking at Malik Ishtar, who seemed to have picked up the golden sparkle script from the adjacent Set and kept calling people "mongrels". "But even Marik's Dark Personality doesn't feel as punchable as this guy."
"Hmph, are you discussing a strategy to escape, or are you considering begging for mercy from me? Muda Muda Muda. I've got a belly full of temper because that woman made me return here, and it's perfect for venting on you two who can die for all I care."
Malik sneered as he looked at Hayato and Kaiba, not noticing their expressions which showed they weren't taking him seriously at all. He threatened, "First, I'll tie you up with chains and fix you to a wheel. This is one of my favorite means of tormenting people. I've named it 'Torture Wheel'. If you don't want to be crushed to death by the wheel, you'll have to push your chest out with all your might until you're exhausted, and then the wheel will slowly grind away the flesh from your body."
"No, I suddenly have a better idea. Didn't Isis, that woman, say that the Pharaoh's authority has been threatened recently because of repeated provocations from a Grave Robber? In that case, I'll help the Pharaoh regain his authority. I'll do it by casting spells on you two Criminals."
"Take them behind the Temple!"
Several attendants dressed as Gravekeeper's Spellcaster who were accompanying Malik came to the barrier trapping Hayato and Kaiba. Waving the Curved Hook Scepter "Heqa" in their hands, they chanted a spell. The barrier lifted from the Ground and became able to move freely. Hayato wasn't in a hurry to escape; instead, he wanted to see what Malik of the Gravekeeper's planned to do to the two of them. He and Kaiba were led forward by Malik's people.
Passing through the Temple, Hayato didn't see King Aknamkanon's mummy, nor did he see Karim and Isis. They had probably gone to the Burial Area behind the Temple to bury the Previous Pharaoh.
As they passed the Temple, Malik, who was walking in front, seemed somewhat annoyed. He muttered to himself, "Hmph, has Isis, that woman, already gone to the back? She doesn't put me, the High Priest of the Gravekeeper's, in her eyes at all. What's so great about becoming a Priest of the Pharaoh? It's just because she was born before me."
"If there's a next time I have anything to do with that woman, I must be born before her, and then, heh heh heh heh..."
'No, next time you seem to be even more unlucky. Not only are you still a younger brother, but you're also abused by Gravekeeper's and Exchange of the Spirit every day,' Hayato thought to himself, listening to Malik's sinister laughter.

Looking at the three people blocking his path, dressed in yellow, green, and black robes respectively and holding weapons, Hayato fell silent. He felt like he didn't know these three, yet also felt like he did; their goofy appearance was simply too familiar.
