# Chapter 885: Cronos's Death
"【Eldlich the Golden Madman】, attack 【Statue of the Labrynth】!"
Not only that, but the moment he declared the attack, the Mysterious Person drew a card from his hand. "It's not over yet! I will also activate this Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand, 【Giant Shadow of Vanity】!"
"When a monster declares an attack, you can activate this card by targeting one face-up monster on the Field. That monster's ATK increases by 1000 until the end of the Battle Phase!"
【Eldlich the Golden Madman】 【ATK 3800 → 4800】
When its ATK was still 3800, 【Eldlich the Golden Madman】's attack was dangerous, but Hayato could still survive with a mere 200 life points, like a flickering candle, without his LP dropping to zero and losing. However, 【Eldlich the Golden Madman】's attack, combined with the effect of 【Giant Shadow of Vanity】, was now enough to deplete his life points.
In this Dark Game, it was best not to lose life points if possible, let alone have them drop to zero. At this moment, 【Eldlich the Golden Madman】, with an ATK as high as 4800, attacked, determined to defeat Hayato in one go!
However—
"At this moment, I will activate the effect of this monster in my Graveyard." From his own Graveyard, Hayato suddenly took out a card. "During either player's Battle Phase, banish this 【Dark Knight Gaia the Origin】 from the Graveyard, then target one monster on the Field whose ATK is different from its Original ATK. That monster's ATK returns to its original value!"
"Shine once more, 【Statue of the Labrynth】!"
Seeing the card in Hayato's hand, the Mysterious Person was slightly surprised. "Is that card also one that 【Infernoid Tierra】 sent to the Graveyard?"
"Hmph, you're not the only one who can send cards to the Graveyard to use them. If anything, Hayato Kobayashi is best at sending his own cards to the Graveyard for use," Kaiba sneered arrogantly, but his finger subtly moved away from the button to activate his Set Card.
Although he had just seemed like he was about to argue with Hayato, seeing Hayato almost in danger, Kaiba didn't hesitate to plan on using the Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone. However, Hayato's movement was faster than his, so the card in his Spell/Trap Zone wasn't activated.
A phantom state of 【Gaia】 emerged from the card Hayato had just taken from the Graveyard. The lance in its hand thrust out, striking the body of 【Statue of the Labrynth】, which was covered in gold. The layer of golden shell previously applied to the statue by 【Golden Land Forever!】 suddenly cracked open, and 【Statue of the Labrynth】 immediately regained its freedom!
【Statue of the Labrynth】 【ATK 0 → 2000】
However, although the ATK of 【Statue of the Labrynth】 increased by 2000 points in one go, it was still no match for 【Eldlich the Golden Madman】. The demon statue had just raised the greatsword in its hand to meet the incoming golden lich when the punch, infused with enormous power, already broke the weapon in its hand and crushed the statue along with it.
【Hayato: 4000 → 1200 LP】
Because they were in a Dark Game, as his life points decreased, Hayato also showed a pained expression, seemingly having taken a lot of damage from this attack. After all, he had lost a full 2800 life points.
Seeing that Hayato had survived this attack and wasn't directly destroyed, Kaiba also let out a sigh of relief. On the surface, however, he remained expressionless, even speaking coldly and arrogantly. "Hmph, how shameful, Hayato Kobayashi. You were almost defeated in one go by someone. If you lose so casually to someone else before I defeat you, I'll be quite angry."
"Heh, don't worry, Seto. I won't lose. It's just a mere fatal wound. For a Duelist, as long as life points aren't zero, they are infinite," Hayato said, wiping away the cold sweat flowing down his forehead from the "pain," putting on a weak appearance.
Seeing that his combo, which was originally intended to finish off Hayato in one go, was stopped by Hayato, the Mysterious Person decisively changed his attack target. "Due to the existence of 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】, I cannot end your remaining 1200 life points for now. You survived that, Hayato."
"In that case, next I will use 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 to attack 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】."
"Hmph, unable to defeat Hayato Kobayashi, so you've targeted me? Treating me as an easier target than Hayato Kobayashi, someone easier to deal with, is truly looking down on me," Kaiba frowned. "If monsters with the same ATK battle each other, they are destroyed in battle. In that case, I cannot lose in spirit, 【Blue-Eyes】!"
The female warrior and giant dragon, both turned into Zombie-Type monsters by the effect of 【Zombie World】, began battling under the gaze of both Duelists. The sharp blade of 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 pierced into the body of 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】, and 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】 returned with a dragon breath that swallowed it. It seemed like a result of mutual destruction.
Watching 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】 and 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 seemingly destroy each other in battle, their corpses both falling onto the 【Zombie World】 filled with corpses, Kaiba helplessly sent the 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】 card from his Field to the Graveyard.
However, just as he sent the card from his hand to the Graveyard, he saw that 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】, who should have destroyed 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】 in battle, had actually climbed up from the pile of bones! Although its body was covered in burn injuries from 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】's dragon breath, it was still on the Field!?
"When a Zombie-Type monster on my Field is destroyed by battle or effect, I can banish this 【Giant Ghoul - Majera】 from my hand or Graveyard as a substitute."
From his Graveyard, the Mysterious Person took out a card. It was surprisingly 【Giant Ghoul - Majera】, which had been sent to the Graveyard just now as Fusion Material for 【Eldlich the Golden Madman】. "And when 【Giant Ghoul - Majera】 is banished from the hand or Graveyard, I can special summon this card in defense position, and its level decreases by 1☆!"
With the appearance of a Zombie-Type version of the classic Minor Character monster 【Zera the Warrior】, the large-sized 【Giant Ghoul - Majera】 climbed up from underground beside 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 and appeared on the Mysterious Person's Field in defense position. It seemed that it had protected 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 from being destroyed by 【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】 just now.
【Giant Ghoul - Majera】 【8☆ → 7☆】 【DEF 2300】
"My attack isn't over yet! Next is 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】, attack that 【White Spirit Dragon】 on Kaiba Seto's Field!"
Following 【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】, 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 also began its attack. The golden lich, infused with power, ignored the dragon breath that the 【White Spirit Dragon】 breathed out, which originally could have destroyed it in battle. It rushed forward, approached the white dragon, and threw a punch, crushing it.
【Kaiba: 4000 → 3000 LP】
"【White Spirit Dragon】! Ugh..." Taking the exceeding 1000 points of battle damage, Kaiba subconsciously frowned, but suddenly felt a bit strange.
As for the feeling of pain, it was indeed there, but he had experienced Dark Games so many times that he had some understanding of how much pain a certain amount of damage would cause. But the damage he felt at this moment didn't feel at all like the pain 1000 points of damage should cause. Saying it was 100 points was even a bit of a stretch.
Although he didn't understand, if he encountered something strange, looking for Hayato Kobayashi was definitely the right thing to do first. Even if he didn't do it, it was at least related to him. At worst, he definitely knew something.
Noticing Kaiba's line of sight, Hayato, who had just been putting on an expression of "I can't take it, 2800 points of damage is so painful I'm going to die," was helpless: "Good grief, you're a bit too shameful, Kaiba. You actually took damage. I originally wanted to act for you a bit longer."
"So, it was indeed you who did it, right? What exactly is going on?" Kaiba asked, frowning.
"To explain it in a way you'd understand, the way our opponent initiated this Dark Game is a secondary authority granted to them by someone else who possesses the ability to start Dark Games. They can't do anything other than initiate the default settings of a Dark Game. But I, who has the 【Millennium Items】 on my person, come with admin permission and can modify the rules of this Dark Game barrier."
Hayato raised his hand and snapped his fingers. "Besides changing the true damage to 10% of the original value, there's also this."
Along with Hayato's finger snap, the Dark Game barrier, which was originally pitch-black, suddenly disappeared. Kaiba also saw Keipei and Alister, who had been watching this Duel the entire time.
"Keipei? And that guy Alister?"
"Didn't I tell you that I came with them? Well, now you know," Hayato said, spreading his hands. "Although you and Keipei can see each other now, the Dark Game barrier actually still exists. To get out, you still have to wait until the Duel ends."
And at this moment, the Mysterious Person opposite also spoke up: "Looking around during a Duel? You two guys don't take me seriously at all, Kaiba Seto and Hayato Kobayashi!"
"Set a card, I end turn!"
【?: 1000 LP, hand 0】
【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 【ATK 3500】
【Eldlich the Golden Madman】 【ATK 4800 → 3800】
【Messenger of the Underworld - Cain】 【ATK 3000】
【Giant Ghoul - Majera】 【DEF 2300】
【Set Card】 X4
Field: 【Zombie World】
Hearing the Mysterious Person's words, Kaiba sneered: "Hmph, is there something wrong with that? You just now changed a large amount of monsters to attack position to perform a beatdown, attempting to defeat one of us, me or Hayato Kobayashi, but you failed. Then the stakes are that a large amount of monsters in attack position exist on your Field."
"This Duel is already over. You don't have a monster that can contend with Hayato Kobayashi's 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】. Your remaining 1000 life points are fundamentally like a flickering candle."
Hearing this, Hayato couldn't help but look at Kaiba with one glance: "What grudge or resentment do we have? You want to curse me by setting a Flag like this?"
Putting his finger on the top card of his Deck, Hayato looked at the Mysterious Person and said: "As things stand now, the Duel should also end. My turn, draw."
【Hayato: 1200 LP, hand 5 → 6】
"During the opponent's standby phase, because there is a card present in the Field Zone, I special summon 【Necro King - Evil Eye】 from the Graveyard in defense position." Seeing Hayato draw a card, the Mysterious Person immediately took out the monster he had already prepared from the Graveyard and placed it horizontally on the Field. 【Necro King - Evil Eye】, which has the effect to negate Zombie-Type monster effects, reappeared, filling the last blank spot in his Front Row.
【Necro King - Evil Eye】 【DEF 2000】
Although 【Necro King - Evil Eye】 combined with 【Zombie World】 can negate the effects of many monsters, to defeat that Mysterious Person, Hayato doesn't even need to activate a monster effect. He just needs to use 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】 to attack any one of the monsters in attack position on the Mysterious Person's Field.
Although the effect of 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】 can only be considered pseudo-complete resistance and can only resist activated effects, having no resistance at all against continuous effects, that is still resistance. Combined with its high attack power, it only needs one attack to bring victory to Hayato.
Regardless, to be safe, Hayato still used the effect of 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】.
"Activate the effect of 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】! Once per turn, select one monster from Both Graveyards and equip it to this card. 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】 can attack up to the number of Equip Cards it has during each Battle Phase."
"I select 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 from the opponent's Graveyard."
And hearing that Hayato was going to use the effect of 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】, the Mysterious Person also chained and activated the effect of 【Necro King - Evil Eye】, which had just appeared: "Then I use the effect of 【Necro King - Evil Eye】! When a Zombie-Type monster activates an effect, I can activate this effect to banish one Monster Card from Both Fields and Graveyards. The target is 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】."
Rather than being taken control of by Hayato's 【Armored Cyberdark End Dragon】 and used as an Equip Card, it's better for me to take action myself and banish him. Perhaps holding this idea, 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 was banished one step ahead.
Hayato also didn't feel regret. One aspect of why he chose 【Eldlich the Golden Lord】 was precisely to force the opponent to use the banishing effect of 【Necro King - Evil Eye】. Moreover, his field setup is only just beginning now.
"Activate the Spell Card 【Pot of Greed】! I draw two cards from my Deck..."
First, he played the super cool card art of 【Pot of Greed】 to cycle through his Deck. But just as Hayato put the card down, the Mysterious Person immediately opened his Set Card: "Chain 【Pot of Greed】! I activate the Set Card 【Eternal Golden Land】! When an Eldlich monster exists on my Field, when a monster effect, Spell, or Trap Card is activated, I can tribute one Zombie-Type monster on my Field to negate and destroy the activation!"
The golden lich, sitting upright on the throne, casually snapped its fingers. 【Pot of Greed】, which was about to spit out two cards in front of Hayato, was shattered into fragments by it.
"No! Chronos! You died a terrible death!" Shouting towards the negated 【Pot of Greed】, Hayato looked at the two Set Cards in the Mysterious Person's Back Row and frowned. "Unexpectedly didn't let me gain card advantage, how hateful. In that case..."
"Spell Card 【Harpie's Feather Duster】! Using Harpie's Feather Duster against Golden Land is a classic move! Eat my back row destruction!"
"【Eldlich the Golden Madman】, attack 【Statue of the Labrynth】!"
Not only that, but the moment he declared the attack, the Mysterious Person drew a card from his hand. "It's not over yet! I will also activate this Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand, 【Giant Shadow of Vanity】!"
"When a monster declares an attack, you can activate this card by targeting one face-up monster on the Field. That monster's ATK increases by 1000 until the end of the Battle Phase!"
【Eldlich the Golden Madman】 【ATK 3800 → 4800】
When its ATK was still 3800, 【Eldlich the Golden Madman】's attack was dangerous, but Hayato could still survive with a mere 200 life points, like a flickering candle, without his LP dropping to zero and losing. However, 【Eldlich the Golden Madman】's attack, combined with the effect of 【Giant Shadow of Vanity】, was now enough to deplete his life points.

【Statue of the Labrynth】 【ATK 0 → 2000】

The demon statue had just raised the greatsword in its hand to meet the incoming golden lich when the punch, infused with enormous power, already broke the weapon in its hand and crushed the statue along with it.
