# Chapter 884: Why Are You Rewarding Him?
"Activate 【Zombie World】!"
As the Mysterious Person placed the card in the Field Zone, a wave of purple mist suddenly erupted from beneath his feet, spreading continuously outwards.
Within the previously dark Duel Domain, as this purple mist spread, countless corpses and decaying flesh surfaced from Underground, and a rotten aura filled the surroundings.
Under the influence of the aura of 【Zombie World】, Kaiba noticed a change in the body of the 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 on the Mysterious Person's Field. The armor on the originally Fairy-Type 【Cain】 became rotten and ruined, and moss clung to and covered its pale face. While its appearance became terrifying, its Type surprisingly changed to "Zombie".
Furthermore, it wasn't just the Mysterious Person's own 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】; the 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】 and 【White Spirit Dragon】 on Kaiba's Field, as well as the 【Statue of the Silver City】 on Hayato's Field, also underwent the same change. All of them visibly decayed, rotted, and decomposed. Even the 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】 could only resist this power for an instant; a layer of rust covered its metal body and limbs.
"You bastard, what did you do to my 【Blue-Eyes】?!"
As if seeing his beloved woman being bullied right before his eyes, Kaiba was filled with wrath!
"The effect of the Field Spell Card 【Zombie World】 changes all monsters on Both Fields and Graveyards to Zombie-Type, and forbids both players from Tribute Summoning non-Zombie-Type monsters," the Mysterious Person said calmly. "However, it's just a change in Type, it's nothing—"
"Nothing worth noting? Humph, you fundamentally don't understand the bond between me and 【Blue-Eyes】."
"My Turn, Draw." Placing his finger on the top of his Deck to draw a card, the Mysterious Person was unmoved by Kaiba's words. "Bond, huh? Say whatever you want. Feel free to try it. Let me see how your 'bond' responds to you."
"But during my Standby Phase, because there is a card in the Field Zone, I Special Summon this monster from the Graveyard in Defense Position by its own effect. Come forth, 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】!"
During the Mysterious Person's Standby Phase, he Special Summoned a Zombie-Type monster from his Graveyard that hadn't appeared before. Kaiba didn't ask when that card entered the Graveyard; he could guess without thinking that it was also thanks to Hayato's 【Infernoid Tierra】.
【Evilswarm Deathscythe】【Level 8☆/Dark】
【Zombie-Type/Effect】
【2800/2000】
Glancing at his opponent's hand of five cards, as well as the 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 with 3000 ATK and the 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】 that just appeared on the Field, for a moment, Kaiba couldn't help but frown: "The Spell/Trap Cards in the Graveyard have the ability to continuously mobilize more Spell/Trap Cards from the Deck, and monsters that can continuously revive. If I can't defeat him in one go with a beatdown, I'll only face a more intense counterattack."
Hayato glanced in Kaiba's direction: "Originally, I could have withstood it, but who do you think helped the opponent send cards to the Graveyard and replenish his hand?"
"Could it be... you're trying to say I'm a burden, Hayato Kobayashi?" Kaiba also glared at Hayato. "Weren't you the one who helped the opponent send cards to the Graveyard in the first place? If it weren't for your 【Infernoid Tierra】, where would that guy get so many usable cards in his Graveyard?"
Even though the Duel with the Mysterious Person wasn't over yet, Kaiba and Hayato were glaring at each other, as if they were about to argue.
The Mysterious Person glanced at the two of them and, to himself, took out a card from the Graveyard: "Activate the effect of 【Guardian of the Golden Land】 in my Graveyard. Banish it, then Set one 【Elixir of the Golden Land】 Spell/Trap Card from my Deck."
"And the effects of these three cards: 【Conquistador of the Golden Land】, 【Scarlet Sanguine Elixir of the Golden Land】, and 【Black Awakening Elixir of the Golden Land】. Set one 【Elixir of the Golden Land】 and two 【Golden Land】 Spell/Trap Cards from my Deck."
"Then, I will activate the effect of 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 in the Graveyard. Send one Set Spell/Trap Card on my Field to the Graveyard, and return it from the Graveyard to my hand."
Looking at the Mysterious Person who had started setting up his Field while he and Kaiba were talking, although he had completely confirmed the opponent's true identity, this didn't prevent Hayato from continuing to pretend not to recognize him in this Duel: "Heh heh, you want to revive from the Graveyard? Even though Seto's 【Blue-Eyes】 easily defeated that monster just now, like plucking a leaf from a roadside bush, you're still thinking of reviving from the Graveyard to continue attacking us?"
"Although I really want to say feel free to come closer, I didn't allow you to Summon more monsters."
Hayato drew a card from his hand, flipped it over to show the Mysterious Person, and gently tapped the side of the card to awaken the timid young girl within. "To deal with you, using this card which is also Zombie-Type would be better."
"Discard 【Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion】 from my hand to activate her effect! Negate the activation of your effect that adds a card from the Graveyard to your hand!"
One card that was just Set on the Mysterious Person's Spell/Trap Zone was sent to the Graveyard. 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】, which was just destroyed by 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】, attempted to dig up the ground and poke its head out of the Graveyard. But just as it poked its face out of the ground, it was stepped on the head by a silver-haired young girl wearing Gothic clothing and pushed back into the Graveyard.
"Damn it, there's actually a card like this?" "Damn it, why are you rewarding him?"
For a moment, the Mysterious Person and Hayato, watching 【Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion】 about to suppress 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 back into the Graveyard, spoke at the same time in the same tone, causing Kaiba to turn his head and give Hayato a deep glance. A moment later, he said: "Although I've always thought you were shameless, I didn't expect you to be this shameless."
"Huh? Does someone who secretly holds a card and calls it their wife every day when it's late and quiet have the qualification to say such things to me?"
"Stop slandering me, you bastard!"
Not paying attention to Kaiba, who seemed a little excited because Hayato had hit upon the truth, the Mysterious Person watched his 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 about to be sent back into the Graveyard by being stepped on the face. After a brief thought, he ordered: "To actually be forced to use this effect so early, but it doesn't change anything. I Chain to your 【Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion】 and activate the effect of 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】!"
"Can only be activated when a Zombie-Type monster's effect is activated, except for 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】. Choose one effect to use from 'Negate that effect' or 'Banish one monster from Both Fields and Graveyards'. 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】 cannot apply the same effect during one turn. I choose to negate the effect of 【Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion】!"
"Muda Muda Muda! All your efforts to obstruct 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 are useless!"
【Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion】, who was stepping on 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】, felt her body suddenly become light. She looked and realized it was actually 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】 next to her, grabbing her collar with the snake tail at the end of its body and lifting her up. It pulled out a note from somewhere that said "Effect Negation" and pasted it on her forehead, then flicked its tail and threw her back onto Hayato's Field.
【Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion】, who sat down on the ground with a thud, got up from the ground and tidied up her slightly wrinkled clothes. She looked back at Hayato, shrugged, and made a helpless expression, then disappeared from in front of him. 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 on the Mysterious Person's Field also had a regretful expression and successfully climbed out of the Graveyard and came into his hand.
"Cannot be repeated, which means the other effect can be used again? Cooperating with 【Zombie World】 to twist all monsters on Both Fields and Graveyards into Zombie-Type monsters." Kaiba frowned. "Tsk, truly a nasty ability."
"The subsequent effect of 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】: After it returns to my hand, I can Special Summon one Zombie-Type monster from my hand. And that Zombie-Type monster gains 1000 ATK/DEF until the end phase of the next opponent's turn, and cannot be destroyed by card effects."
The card of 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 that just returned to the hand was played by the Mysterious Person again. The golden Lich reappeared on his Field, and this time when appearing, it was accompanied by a layer of flowing radiance. The gemstones all over its body were shining, just like RGB that can boost performance, making it obvious at a glance that it was strong.
【Eldlich the Golden Lord】【2500/2800 → 3500/3800】
"Humph, you finally Summoned a monster with higher ATK than 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】, but there's only one. Who can it defeat?" Kaiba crossed his arms over his chest and said coldly and arrogantly, "Whether it's the 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】 on Hayato Kobayashi's Field or the three 【Blue-Eyes White Dragons】 on my Field, you who only have one monster worth showing fundamentally have no chance of winning."
"Is this all you've got?"
Hearing Kaiba's words, the Mysterious Person didn't say anything. As a response was a Spell Card he played from his hand: "Spell Card 【Polymerization】! I use another 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 from my hand and the Level 8☆ Zombie-Type monster 【Gogiga Gagagigo】 as Fusion Material."
"Material requirements are an 【Eldlich】 monster plus a Level 5☆ or higher Zombie-Type monster. Under the cursed gold, release your madness towards the enemy to your heart's content!"
"Fusion Summon! 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】!"
On the Mysterious Person's Field, accompanying the manifestation of the power of 【Polymerization】, feet wearing heavy golden boots crushed a skeleton on the ground. A majestic and burly body walked out from the Fusion Vortex.
The purple cape behind the original 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 became tattered, as if it had experienced countless battles. The golden armor on its body was replaced with a heavier style that could resist magic and battle. The bull horn-like demon horns on its head became longer, sharper, and more ferocious.
【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】【Level 10☆/Light】
【Zombie-Type/Fusion/Effect】
【3800/3500】
In terms of value, the ATK/DEF values of 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】 were exactly opposite to those of 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 who received a resurrection boost. And even if you don't look at the values and just look at its appearance, you can also see that compared to defense, he is more skilled at attacking.
Hayato couldn't help but glance at Kaiba next to him: "Did you really have to say that extra sentence?"
"Humph!"
After Summoning 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】, the Mysterious Person still had two cards remaining in his hand. Glancing at the 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】 on Kaiba's Field, he declared: "The effect of 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】! I Tribute 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】 and activate the effect, targeting the 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】 on your Field, Kaiba Seto. I will gain control of that monster!"
"Nani!?" Hearing the opponent's blatant NTR declaration, Kaiba raised an eyebrow: "You actually want to steal 【Blue-Eyes】 from my side? Don't even think about it!"
"Flip face-down card, Counter Trap 【Wiretap】! Can only activate this Set card when a Monster Effect, Spell, or Trap Card is activated in the same Column as this card. Negate and destroy that activation!"
After saying that, Kaiba looked at the 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】 on the Mysterious Person's Field and said, "You spent cards from hand to Summon a monster, and you still want to push your luck and lay your hands on my 【Blue-Eyes】? Be destroyed here!"
The chain explosion that had already been set up activated as the Set card was flipped. A mass of golden energy from 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】, which was able to activate due to 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】 leaving the Field, had not yet been released from its hand when it was interrupted by a sudden explosion beneath its feet. This explosion even swallowed 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】 along with it.
However, since ancient times, there has been the so-called "No Damage in Smoke" rule. The cold laugh at the corner of Kaiba's mouth had not yet fully formed when he saw that from within that smoke and dust, 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】 still stood on the Field completely unharmed.
"What a pity, 【Wiretap】's effect is Negate Activation and Destroy, but 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】 has resistance to being destroyed by battle or effect. If only it were a card that said 'Negate Effect and Destroy'," Hayato said with a regretful expression. "However, although the activation was negated, that effect of 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】 itself can only be used once per turn, so you don't need to worry about the opponent using the effect again to take control of your 【Blue-Eyes】."
Hearing Hayato's words, Kaiba looked at him confused, frowning and saying, "Have you seen this monster before? You actually know its effect so well?"
"Well... it's too complicated to explain," Hayato shrugged and looked towards the Mysterious Person who was changing his 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 on his Field from Defense Position to Attack Position. "Compared to that, it seems like the opponent is about to attack."
"Change 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 to Attack Position, then enter the Battle Phase. I will use 【Eldlich the Golden Mad Lord】 to attack 【Statue of the Silver City】." Not choosing Kaiba, who was guarded by four powerful Dragon Type monsters, as the attack target, the Mysterious Person locked onto the 【Statue of the Silver City】 on Hayato's Field, which still had 0 ATK. "This punch, 3800 points of damage, can you withstand it, Hayato Kobayashi!"
Sekishiki Meikai Ha!
Hayato, the death of Hayato Kobayashi, Duel Stand By!
(End of Chapter)
"Activate 【Zombie World】!"
As the Mysterious Person placed the card in the Field Zone, a wave of purple mist suddenly erupted from beneath his feet, spreading continuously outwards.
Within the previously dark Duel Domain, as this purple mist spread, countless corpses and decaying flesh surfaced from Underground, and a rotten aura filled the surroundings.
Under the influence of the aura of 【Zombie World】, Kaiba noticed a change in the body of the 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 on the Mysterious Person's Field.

All of them visibly decayed, rotted, and decomposed. Even the 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】 could only resist this power for an instant; a layer of rust covered its metal body and limbs.
"You bastard, what did you do to my 【Blue-Eyes】?!"
As if seeing his beloved woman being bullied right before his eyes, Kaiba was filled with wrath!
"The effect of the Field Spell Card 【Zombie World】 changes all monsters on Both Fields and Graveyards to Zombie-Type, and forbids both players from Tribute Summoning non-Zombie-Type monsters," the Mysterious Person said calmly. "However, it's just a change in Type, it's nothing—"

"But during my Standby Phase, because there is a card in the Field Zone, I Special Summon this monster from the Graveyard in Defense Position by its own effect. Come forth, 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】!"
During the Mysterious Person's Standby Phase, he Special Summoned a Zombie-Type monster from his Graveyard that hadn't appeared before. Kaiba didn't ask when that card entered the Graveyard; he could guess without thinking that it was also thanks to Hayato's 【Infernoid Tierra】.
【Evilswarm Deathscythe】【Level 8☆/Dark】
【Zombie-Type/Effect】
【2800/2000】
Glancing at his opponent's hand of five cards, as well as the 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 with 3000 ATK and the 【Evilswarm Deathscythe】 that just appeared on the Field, for a moment, Kaiba couldn't help but frown: "The Spell/Trap Cards in the Graveyard have the ability to continuously mobilize more Spell/Trap Cards from the Deck, and monsters that can continuously revive.
