Chapter 681: Although I Don't Want to Admit It, It's All Because of Mistakes Made in My Youth
As previously stated, in a Dark Game, an existence like The Winged Dragon of Ra, which is on a level far surpassing other monsters, can inflict damage far beyond what other monsters can compare to, regardless of its ATK. Not to mention, Hayato increased The Winged Dragon of Ra's ATK to a staggering 11599 points in one go.
Generally speaking, this amount of damage would be enough to burn to ashes the opponent facing The Winged Dragon of Ra's attack, body and soul. However, Camus the Vampire was still alive. While Hayato holding back was a factor, it was also largely thanks to the Vampire Clan's life force, which, as supernatural creatures, far surpassed that of ordinary humans.
However, this did not mean that Camus would survive.
The Shadow Realm dispersed as the duel reached its conclusion, and the figures of the monsters faded. Only behind Camus, who lay on the ground, did the Phantom Gate he had used during the duel reappear.
"Wh-What's going on? Why did the Phantom Gate appear again?!" Camus seemed to have not anticipated this situation. For the Phantom Gate standing behind him, the more haughty he had been during the duel, the more fear he felt now.
Hadn't he already paid his soul as a cost to the Phantom Gate? Why had the Phantom Gate reappeared now, as if to take his soul?!
This wasn't the first time he had used the stronger Phantom Gate to overwrite the rules within a Dark Game that had already been set up. But why was this feeling of his soul being pulled?!
As a vampire, Camus's body possessed extreme vitality. Even if someone were to split his entire body vertically with a sword, he could stick the two halves back together with his hands. He could even survive having his head cut off, and shooting the moisture from his eyes out like lasers was also not a problem.
Ordinary methods couldn't kill a vampire, but the power of the Dark Game and the Phantom Gate, a secret technique card of the Vampire Clan, were different. They were powers that directly targeted life and soul. No matter how strong Camus's body was, he couldn't escape death.
Feeling his soul about to be pulled from his body, Camus's heart was filled with unwillingness and confusion. It was at this moment that he saw Hayato calmly take out three cards from a card box at his waist.
"Phantom Gate, huh? Although I don't know what connection your card has with the combined form of these guys, after all, they're both called 'Phantom Gate'."
Turning the three cards in his hand, Camus saw the three cards in Hayato's hand—Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, and Raviel, Lord of Phantasms—fuse together, forming a card also named Phantom Gate.
"But who gave you permission to arbitrarily use that card to tamper with the Dark Game I set up?"
Holding the Phantom Gate card, which he had temporarily "transformed" using the method of fusing the Sacred Beasts that he had learned from Anubis, Hayato felt that he now had absolute control over the real Phantom Gate behind Camus, which was not a card but a real existence. Camus's life and death, having lost the duel, rested solely on his decision.
In that case, what was there to say? Why would he keep Camus alive?
Thinking this, Hayato was about to use the power of the Phantom Gate to re-impose the punishment of the Dark Game that Camus had evaded—being absorbed by darkness—upon him.
"That disrespectful card, let it be out of print from now on—"
"Wait, please wait! Please spare my life!" Just before Hayato was about to take Camus's soul, Camus, who was shocked that Hayato actually had the Phantom Gate card, seemed to sense his impending death. Unexpectedly for both Hayato and Marik, he suddenly knelt down right where he was, having just gotten up, and desperately begged Hayato for mercy.
Camus's current appearance of desperately begging for mercy formed a stark contrast with his haughty attitude before the duel. The strong contrast made Hayato pause for a moment. Camus, fearing that speaking too late would make Hayato change his mind, quickly said, "As long as you let me go, Sir Hayato Kobayashi, I can tell you who hired me to harm you!"
"Think about it, I am so weak and powerless before you. I pose no threat to you at all. And if you know who hired me, you can be prepared for your journey ahead, can't you? This is a very worthwhile deal!"
As Camus spoke while kneeling on the ground, he forced a very strained "smile" onto his face, while continuously gripping his own flesh with the hands resting on his knees, his fingernails almost embedding into his flesh and piercing his skin.
Humiliation, such humiliation. A noble Vampire Race actually knelt and begged for mercy from a human, who was merely food. To survive, he had to be so subservient and humble. The dignity of a noble Vampire Race was being trampled on the ground like this, truly humiliating!
But he had to survive, for the revival of the Vampire Race, he, a member of the Vampire Race, had to survive!
It was just temporary humiliation. Compared to his precious life, dignity could be discarded. Anyway, only Hayato Kobayashi and that guy next to him with the terribly foul breath, these two humans, knew about his shameful state. Once these two short-lived humans died of old age, his stain would naturally disappear.
If they could survive today...
Camus lowered his head slightly, hiding his sinister gaze so Hayato wouldn't notice.
"Using the information about your employer, which should have been kept secret, to exchange for your life? Heh, as a Mercenary, you really have professional ethics." Hayato looked at Camus, who was kneeling and begging for mercy, with contempt. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, I really want to know who wants to kill me so badly. I accept your request."
Hearing that Hayato agreed to let him go, Camus was overjoyed and subconsciously wanted to say who hired him. But just as he raised his head and before the words left his mouth, he suddenly realized that among the information he had collected, someone seemed to have evaluated Hayato Kobayashi as a guy who was incredibly malicious.
Betrayal, breaking contracts, selling out teammates—while others might not be able to do these things, Hayato Kobayashi could do them without any psychological burden.
Thinking of this, Camus hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth, and said, "You have to swear that you absolutely won't harm me, otherwise I'll swallow this secret and take it to the Underworld without saying a word!"
Although he spoke toughly, Camus knew he fundamentally had no qualification to negotiate with Hayato. If he wasn't careful, Hayato might lose interest in getting the information because he was setting conditions, and then kill him. He was just gambling, gambling that Hayato didn't see him as someone who absolutely had to be killed, and that he would value the information that "someone wants to kill me".
Fortunately, Camus seemed to have gambled correctly. Hayato said helplessly, "I've always been a man of my word, okay? I absolutely won't go back on something I've promised. You don't believe the promise I, a man of my word, made? Alright, then I swear, as long as you tell me the information about who hired you, I absolutely will not harm you."
"I stake my Tamashii."
Hayato had said this much, even staking his soul card, which every Duelist regards as their life. Camus also believed that Hayato would indeed not harm him.
On the other hand, Marik glanced at Hayato with slight astonishment: "No way, Brother-in-law, are you really going to let this guy go? This guy isn't a good person, you know. And if you just let this guy leave like this, who knows if he'll come back and attack us again."
"Otherwise? I've already staked my cherished Tamashii. As long as this guy tells me the information, I can't go back on my word, right?" Turning his head, Hayato took out three cards and revealed them. "You know too, Ojama Yellow and the others are my beloved friends, my brothers."
"Aniki~" X3
Amidst the moved voices of the Ojama Brothers, Hayato winked at Marik. Seeing this, Marik recalled what Hayato had just said, and suddenly realized something, nodding understandingly.
Camus didn't see the two exchanging glances. Fearing that Hayato would change his mind because of Marik's words, he quickly spoke: "It's a guy who calls himself 'Tenma Yexing'. I haven't seen his face and don't know what he looks like, I only know that someone with this name wants to kill you."
"He promised a piece of property that once belonged to my Family as the reward for hiring me. The reason he wants to kill you seems to be because you killed Pegasus J. Crawford."
In one go, Camus spilled all the information he knew, with almost no reservation, just to satisfy Hayato and be allowed to leave.
"Tenma Yexing?" Marik rubbed his chin. "Why do I feel like I've seen a similar name somewhere? Right, didn't Pegasus have an adopted son named Tenma Tsukihiro? I saw him hosting on stage during the KC Cup before."
"Tenma Yexing, Tenma Tsukihiro, is there any relationship between these two people? Their names are so similar."
"This, I'm not too sure. I don't understand much about you humans, but there shouldn't be a relationship, right?" Camus answered Marik. Although he looked down on Marik, who looked very weak and had terrible breath, and had just spoken too much about things he shouldn't have, Camus didn't show any dissatisfaction towards Marik because of Hayato. After all, this guy was clearly someone with connections.
How could he tell? It was a joke, he even called Hayato "Brother-in-law", okay? Camus's ears were very sharp.
"No relationship? Probably, but to send someone to try and kill you, Brother-in-law, just because you 'killed Pegasus'..." Marik said, turning to look at Hayato.
Hayato turned his head and looked at the view outside the Aircraft Cabin: "Although I don't want to admit it, it's all because of mistakes made in my youth."
"Brother-in-law, you just became an adult, right? Are you referring to your chuunibyou period at thirteen or fourteen as your youth?" Marik delivered a precise retort.
"No, in Japan, 20 is the age of adulthood, and drinking alcohol and such is only allowed after 20. However, marriage is allowed at 16."
Hayato said casually, feeling a little strange in his heart. What was going on with this Tenma Yexing guy?
According to the information Kaiba had investigated before, it was indeed the brothers Tenma Yexing and Tenma Tsukihiro who were adopted by Pegasus back then. But for some reason, Tenma Yexing had vanished from the memories of almost everyone, as if his existence had vanished because his talented brother, Tenma Tsukihiro, attracted everyone's attention. Even Pegasus and Tenma Tsukihiro didn't know about Tenma Yexing's existence anymore.
In the commotion during the KC Cup back then, besides the defeated Schroeder Corporation and the Industrial Illusions that were destroyed along with Doma, Tenma Yexing, who seemed to have formed an alliance with Bakura, was also one of the participants. It was also at that time that he formed a grudge against him because he had initially agreed not to help KaibaCorp but then went back on his word and backstabbed them.
But if he wanted retaliation, couldn't he have made a move earlier? Why wait until now, and even use the excuse that he killed Pegasus? It wasn't like playing Civilization where you needed an excuse to declare war. Moreover, although he did kill Pegasus, Pegasus was revived later when Hayato Explode☆Killed the Orichalcos God, wasn't he? He didn't lose anything.
It was just that about 10% of the 40% stock of Industrial Illusions that Pegasus originally held was lost due to changing hands, making Pegasus's current stock the same as what Hayato and Yugi hold.
Well, it's completely no big deal. Didn't Pegasus say things like "One hundred million is a small goal for me", "I'm not interested in money", "Founding Industrial Illusions was my most mistaken decision"? Even if he didn't say them, just assume he did.
Hayato was thinking about what was going on with Tenma Yexing, while Camus, having said all the information he knew, didn't rush to get up. Instead, he continued to kneel on the ground, looking up at Hayato, and cautiously said, "That's all I know. I've fulfilled the deal, can you let me go now? You guaranteed it with your important spirit."
Under the suppression of the Phantom Gate, Camus didn't dare to make any big movements. Who knew if Hayato could control this card? If he accidentally got sucked in, it would be bad.
Although he hadn't asked Camus about the difference between the Sacred Beasts' Phantom Gate and the Phantom Gate that Camus claimed was passed down in his Family, Hayato wasn't particularly interested in finding out. With a casual wave of his hand, the Phantom Gate card in his hand turned back into the three Sacred Beasts cards, and the Phantom Gate behind Camus, which had been tearing at his soul, also stopped its movement. The open doorway began to slowly close.
Camus also let out a long breath. The feeling of having his life entrusted to someone else was truly unpleasant, but he had survived. Feeling his soul, which had almost been pulled out, return to his body, Camus, who felt he had successfully preserved his life, was about to stand up.
He had just moved his feet and before he could straighten his back, suddenly, Camus saw Marik take a golden object from Hayato's hand and suddenly swing it in a wide arc, smashing it into his face!
Chapter 682: Hayato Kobayashi, You Tricked Me!
Three thousand years ago, a dark and bloody ritual gave birth to the seven Millennium Items, artifacts possessing great power.
Although the seven Items appeared to be gold on the outside, actually, due to the great power they each contained, their hardness was incomparable to soft metals like gold, which only has a Mohs hardness of 2.5. They were even harder than diamond, which has a hardness of 10, and their strength was such that even hydraulic equipment measured in tons could barely deform them.
How did Hayato know this? Anyway, it was definitely not because he was curious and wanted to cut the small knife attached to the Millennium Rod to see its interior structure.
Therefore, Marik could be said to be completely unconcerned that his current action would damage the Millennium Rod. After accepting the Millennium Rod Hayato carried, he gripped the long handle with both hands, like someone in *The Miracle That Never Happened* who used a golf club to bash the previous protagonist's head, and swung it with all his might, smashing it into Camus's face!
Camus was a Vampire, and his body strength did indeed surpass ordinary humans, but he was still a long way from Kryptonians who could become stronger by basking in the sun. Having risen halfway, he took a hit from Marik and was knocked backward, falling onto the ground face up.
Because of his deal with Hayato, he had completely not anticipated being attacked, so when Marik attacked him, Camus had no time to react. But when he lay on the ground again, stimulated by the pain in his face, the wrath hidden in Camus's heart erupted.
"How dare you!" Leaping up from the ground, Camus's mouth split open, transforming into the appearance of a monster, and he was about to pounce on Marik, who was close by. But his attack only completed the "took the first step". Along with the symbol of the Eye of Wjat/Udjat appearing on his face, which had just been struck by the Millennium Rod, his entire body became unable to move.
"What kind of power is this!?" Even without counting the time he spent slumbering on the seabed, Camus was already several hundred years old. But as a Vampire who wrote himself off as an otaku and fundamentally never left his Castle unless he needed to grab humans for food, Camus had never even left his own country in hundreds of years and fundamentally didn't know what the Millennium Items were.
"Hmm, let me see. Supernatural item left by ancient civilization, with different functions, some can control minds, mainly golden in color, can be used to smash people... Got it, it's the Golden Apple." Hayato watched Marik utilize the Millennium Rod to control Camus's actions, talking nonsense that even Marik didn't understand.
"Why, Hayato Kobayashi, didn't we already make a promise? I've already told you everything I know, you can't hurt me, you even swore on your own card!"
His body couldn't move, but it didn't prevent Camus from glaring at Hayato and Marik with wrath, reminding Hayato of the deal they had just made.
Hearing this, Hayato showed a confused expression: "Huh? That's strange, I don't remember breaking the promise? Didn't we agree, you tell me the information, and I'll let you go and won't hurt you?"
"However, just like you deliberately didn't say you wouldn't attack us again, I also didn't say Marik couldn't hurt you," Hayato said, a smug expression on his face, spreading his hand. "It was Marik who attacked you, what does that have to do with me, Hayato Kobayashi?"
"Hayato Kobayashi, you fat pig!"
Camus was so angry at Hayato's shameless expression that his eyes went straight. He wished he could shoot the moisture from his eyes with force to pierce the Hayato in front of him, but the next instant, he couldn't even move his eyes.
The appearance of the top of the Millennium Rod is two ears surrounding the head, symbolizing the control over the mind. Although it's unknown why a certain Priest who held the Millennium Rod in Ancient Egypt and particularly liked to say "Hmph" when speaking could only manage to seal the spirit in the human heart into a tablet when using it, in Marik's hand, its ability particularly highlighted the manipulation of thought.
During the Rare Hunters period, Marik left a mark containing the power of the Millennium Rod on most of his Subordinates. With this power, he could freely browse their thoughts, and even erase their thoughts at any time and turn them into his puppets. This is why Marik, who was only ten years old at the time, was able to establish the massive International Crime Organization Rare Hunters without being betrayed or sidelined.
Although Camus was a Vampire, the mental power of Vampires was not much stronger than that of humans. At least if it were Joey Wheeler , facing the mind control exerted by Marik's Millennium Rod power, he might be able to put up a fierce resistance, but Camus could only remain motionless under Marik's control.
Oh, not completely motionless, because Camus turned around on the spot at this moment and walked backward. Of course, he was still under Marik's control.
"You, what are you doing!?"
When he was just being controlled to turn around, Camus didn't know what Hayato and Marik were going to do, but when he looked back, he found that the Phantasm Gate hadn't completely closed yet, leaving an opening wide enough for two people to enter. In an instant, he understood what Marik was controlling him to turn around for.
"No, wait, wait!"
"Don't, don't send me in there!"
As the distance between him and the Phantasm Gate shortened, Camus wanted to put up a strong resistance, but his steps didn't slow down at all. The tearing sensation on his soul that made him panic appeared again. Once he came into contact with the Phantasm Gate, his soul would probably be drawn out in an instant, absorbed by the Phantasm Gate, and never find liberation!
Don't let that happen, my mission is not yet complete, my great life cannot disappear from this World!
Camus struggled, but could only see the Phantasm Gate getting closer and closer to him, until his body, under Marik's control, touched the darkness inside the door.
"Hmph, hmph! Ughhhhhh!"
In just an instant, the pain in his soul made Camus forget the revival of the Vampire Race he had been thinking about just now. The intense pain, even for just a second, was about to absorb his sanity. He could no longer think about what would happen next.
Compared to such pain, even having his soul scattered would be better.
"Kill, kill me!" Turning his head, which was the only part he could move, with difficulty, Camus tried hard to look at Hayato Kobayashi. "Please, Hayato Kobayashi, kill me!"
Hayato looked at Camus's distorted expression due to pain and calmly said, "Sorry, I can't do that."
Because of the pain, Camus even forgot about the "Hayato cannot hurt Camus" promise they had just made, and only remembered it again when Hayato mentioned it. Along with that, he also recalled the winking and gesturing of Hayato and Marik when they made the promise before.
"Hayato Kobayashi, you tricked me!"
Due to despair, wrath, and pain, Camus twisted his own cervical spine with force, turning his head 180° to glare at Hayato. More than half of his body had already entered the Phantasm Gate. "Don't be too proud too early, do you think this is the end?!"
"Prepare to fall with your Companion, shameless Hayato Kobayashi!"
"On the road to Hell, my resentment and curse will be with you at all times!"
"Ono...!"
Camus couldn't finish his last words. He had been completely absorbed by the darkness inside the Phantasm Gate, the doorway completely closed, and then the massive Phantasm Gate became transparent within a few breaths, as if what was seen before was just an illusion and didn't actually exist.
However, the bloodstain from Camus's nose on the Millennium Rod in Marik's hand proved that a rare species was indeed killed here just now.
"Tsk, I regret it a bit, Brother-in-law, the Millennium Rod got dirty." Looking at the Millennium Rod in his hand with a slight look of disdain, Marik weighed it and was about to return it to Hayato.
If it were him from the Rare Hunters era, let alone hitting someone with the Millennium Rod, he would worry about it breaking even if it fell onto the ground. But now, he only felt that the weight balance of the Millennium Rod was really good, and the feeling of hitting someone with it was also excellent.
"Get lost, wipe the blood clean for me." Hayato glanced at the bloodstain on the Millennium Rod, pushed it away with a look of disgust, and looked at the location where the Phantasm Gate disappeared. "You reminded me, I also forgot something very important, and I regret it just thinking about it."
"Huh? Could it be that Brother-in-law you regret getting rid of that Vampire? That's not like you." Marik looked Hayato up and down and said with a smile.
Hayato shook his head, a look of regret on his face: "You controlled him to walk in too quickly, I forgot I hadn't taken his Deck yet, losing money is more uncomfortable than losing a Duel."
As soon as Hayato finished speaking, the two suddenly heard a "plop" sound, as if something was squeezed out. Following the direction of the sound, Hayato saw a card slowly floating down in mid-air, landing right at his feet.
"Hiccup~" Vaguely, Hayato seemed to hear a hiccup.
Could it be from the Phantasm Gate? A strange idea couldn't help but pop into Hayato's mind. He bent down and picked up the Duel Monsters card that had suddenly appeared from the ground. Turning it over, he saw it was a Monster Card — Blazing Mars.
Blazing Mars, also known as the youth version of Infernoid, possesses an ability similar to High-Level Infernoid monsters: "If this card is in the Hand or Graveyard, you can Special Summon it by banishing three monsters from your Graveyard." It can also inflict damage to the opponent by sending other monsters on your Field to the Graveyard.
Furthermore, unlike the real card version that Hayato was relatively familiar with, the Blazing Mars card in Hayato's hand, which was suspected to be in the Deck of Camus and spat out because the Phantasm Gate couldn't digest it, had the manga version effect. It did not have the restriction after Special Summon, and which of his own monsters were sent to the Graveyard also became controllable.
What made Hayato even more concerned was that this was already the fourth "Planet" Series card he had seen.
Tenma Tsukihiro's Splendid Venus from The The Agent Deck;
Tila Muku's Grand Saturn from the Vampire Deck, which had a higher purity than Camus's deck full of Zombie-Type monsters, used in the KC Cup;
His Father, Kobayashi Hiroyuki's Tyrant Neptune, which he accidentally obtained and added to his Dragonmaid Deck;
And this card in front of him, Blazing Mars, belonging to Camus the Vampire hired by Tenma Yexing.
Hayato didn't know what was going on with these cards or what state Tragoedia, which should have been sealed by these cards, was in. But Hayato felt that perhaps when he collected all the "Planet" cards, he would be able to know the truth.
Compared to Hayato, who knew the meaning behind Blazing Mars, Marik had little interest in this card. He was kind-hearted and usually very reluctant to send his own monsters to the Graveyard. He didn't like the effect of Blazing Mars. After all, sending his own monsters to the Graveyard wasn't as interesting as sending the opponent's monsters to the Graveyard.
Alternatively, binding the opponent's monsters with various handcuffs, wheel, and other things was also very interesting. He wasn't boasting, no one understood torment better than him.GIF.
While Hayato was examining Blazing Mars, Marik looked around, trying to find something nearby suitable for wiping off the bloodstain. Although he didn't know if Vampire blood was different from human blood, generally speaking, bloodstain would probably be difficult to wipe clean once it dried.
Although there was no rag or anything similar, Marik looked down and happened to find something suitable — the clothes of the Stewardess who had been bitten by Camus and was still unconscious.
"Hey, miss, I'm sure you don't mind if I use your clothes to wipe something, right? If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent."
It seemed like a question, but Marik had no sincerity at all. He just pretended to ask and then grabbed the Stewardess's clothes to wipe the bloodstain on the Millennium Rod.
But at this moment, the Stewardess, who should have been unconscious, suddenly grabbed Marik's hand, causing Marik to freeze for a moment. He turned his head to look and met the Stewardess's angry gaze.
"Uh, I thought you agreed."
The next instant, the Stewardess lying on the ground held onto Marik's wrist and suddenly got up with a swift movement, capturing Marik and pinning his arm tightly behind his back, making him unable to move.
"Hiss~ Easy, easy, easy!" Marik's bones ached, causing him to involuntarily puff out his chest and beg for mercy repeatedly. He lowered his head slightly and found that the Stewardess had somehow acquired a small knife in her hand and was holding it against his neck. He subconsciously swallowed, "Um, miss? At most, I was just attempting, I didn't dirty your clothes, there's no need for a knife, right?"
"Heh, stop talking nonsense, I'm not interested in you." The Stewardess sneered coldly upon hearing this, pressing the knife directly against Marik's neck, but turned her head to look at Hayato and said, "Hey, Hayato Kobayashi, you see? Your Companion is now in my hand. If you know what's good for you, give up your resistance and throw away all the cards on you."
"Huh?" Marik was stunned and looked at Hayato. "Brother-in-law, is she here to kill you too?"
"Yeah, I thought so from the beginning, they're working together." Hayato recalled seeing Camus's photo on the Staff list and said with a helpless expression, "That Camus seemed to have come onto this airplane as a flight attendant from the start. If they could arrange an Assassin in here, then I have reason to suspect that the Companion acting with that Assassin was also likely arranged to be here."
"After all, that Vampire had no reason to specifically take one of the others and hide after attacking the rest, or even deliberately wait for us to appear and then pretend to be attacking someone. Although it was to clear his accomplice's suspicion, the flaw was too big, it was fundamentally the skill level of an antique from several hundred years ago."
"Similarly, I also have reason to suspect—" Hayato ignored Marik, who was being held hostage by the Stewardess, and turned his head to look at the wall beside him, as if looking through layers of obstruction towards the direction of the Front Cabin. "On this Private Jet with ten Staff, how many Assassins were arranged?"
"Don't suddenly put on a tone like deliberately leaving suspense at the end of a novel at a time like this, Brother-in-law, help me! Aren't we Companions? Why are you just watching?!"
End of Chapter
Chapter 683: Underworld Time Update (12)
Just as Hayato and Marik encountered Camus, at the same time, whether it was Joey Wheeler and Tristan who had gone to the Cockpit, or Yugi and Téa who remained in the Aircraft Cabin with the injured, they all encountered their attackers.
Although no one was injured by the assassins' attacks for the moment, as they were acting in pairs and each pair had a certain amount of Combat Power, what surprised everyone was that their attackers weren't Invaders wearing strange clothes, but rather the Flight Attendants wearing work clothes.
Téa was suddenly attacked while bandaging one of the injured. If Yugi hadn't been right beside her and reacted quickly, she might have instantly become a Captive of the assassin who was pretending to be attacked. Even though the assassin had been controlled by the Materialization of Dark Magician using Magic Control, she was still shaken and threw herself into Yugi's embrace.
As for Tristan and Joey Wheeler, their encounter was even more thrilling. They went to the Cockpit to inform the Pilot and Co-pilot about what was happening in the Aircraft Cabin. However, before they could reach the Cockpit, they encountered the Co-pilot who had just walked out of the Cockpit halfway there. Without any suspicion, they informed him of the situation.
After listening to their words, the Co-pilot had a calm expression at the time, calmly stating that he already knew. He then asked Joey Wheeler and Tristan to lead the way, saying he wanted to go see the situation himself. When the two asked why not tell the Pilot, the Co-pilot replied that the Pilot needed to fly the airplane and couldn't be distracted, and the two believed his reason.
But just as the two turned around without any Defense, the Co-pilot suddenly attacked Joey Wheeler from behind, throwing a hook punch towards the back of Joey Wheeler's head. It could be said he was aiming to kill him, after all, the back of the head is a major fatal area of the human body.
It was fortunate that Joey Wheeler, as if by sheer luck, happened to sneeze at that exact moment. A dip of his head just happened to dodge the Co-pilot's attack, and at the same time, it drew the attention of Tristan, who subconsciously looked over from the side, to the Co-pilot still holding his punching position.
The two of them immediately worked together to subdue the Co-pilot who had unaccountably attacked them. However, they didn't expect the Co-pilot, who was dressed like an ordinary office worker, to have surprisingly good skills. After a stalemate for a while, Joey Wheeler finally remembered to use the Power of Card Spirits at Tristan's suggestion, and successfully subdued the Co-pilot.
Regarding the Co-pilot who had unaccountably attacked them, they were undecided for a while. They decided to first go check on the situation of the Pilot in the Cockpit, and if necessary, control the Pilot as well, who would very likely also attack them.
But as soon as they entered the Cockpit, they were dumbfounded. Although they saw the Pilot at first glance, he was hanging, his neck tightly strangled by a tie, with a pen stuck right in the center of his forehead, looking like a Pilot who had been brutally killed by some dog lover. His wide-open eyes made Tristan and Joey Wheeler cling to each other tightly, almost scared silly. They only felt that they would definitely have a nightmare tonight.
Thus, on Hayato and Marik's side, although they dealt with the Vampire Clan's Camus, Marik was taken as a Hostage and controlled by the second assassin, giving the impression of being the weakest one.
Probably.
Looking at Marik, who had a panicked expression and was pleading for help, Hayato had a cold expression, saying indifferently, "Oh? This gentleman, you look very familiar, but I don't know you. After all, because of that Dark Game just now, my Life Points were reduced to just 1 point, like a flickering candle, and my memory is all messed up."
"Instead of pleading for help from me, a stranger, I suggest you save yourself."
"Don't pretend you don't know me at a time like this!"
Marik struggled for a moment, but the icy feeling that came from his neck the next instant made him stop.
"Heh heh, Kid, it seems Hayato Kobayashi doesn't consider you a Friend at all, and is completely unwilling to give up resisting for your Life." The assassin, who had infiltrated this airplane under the identity of a Stewardess, said with a cold laugh, pressing the knife tightly against Marik's neck. She seemed to have the leisure to tease Marik, but her Heart was quite nervous.
Damn it, this is a bit different from what I originally planned. The employer said that if that arrogant Vampire Clan failed, they would activate plan-B. As long as I could approach Hayato Kobayashi's people under the identity of an injured person, I could kidnap them to make Hayato Kobayashi give up resisting and let me crush him.
But the problem now is, even though the person beside him is being kidnapped by me, why isn't Hayato Kobayashi panicked at all? Doesn't he care about this Kid at all? Could it be that this guy isn't someone important?
The assassin just remembered that there didn't seem to be the name of this kid in her investigated data. However, it probably doesn't matter, right? Any kid of this age is pretty much the same. Could it be that a kid in his teens could be the leader of some criminal organization, or a Great Evil God who will destroy the World?
Hayato looked at the assassin, whose expression was uncertain and didn't know what she was thinking, and at Marik, who was being kidnapped by the assassin and had a panicked expression. He said with helplessness, "You're not a three-year-old kid anymore, handle her yourself, Marik."
Marik? I think I've heard that name somewhere before?
The assassin was startled, and for a moment, she didn't react, wondering where she had heard such a name. It seems, was it on the bounty list?
"Pfft!"
But in that moment of distraction, accompanied by a sound like leaking air, the assassin suddenly lost consciousness. Marik shook the blood off a short sword in his hand. Looking at the assassin who had died from a stab through the heart by him, he said with a disgusted expression, "Even though I wanted to wipe it on your clothes because I didn't want to get any more blood on myself, look now, your clothes are also dirty, and the Millennium Rod is covered in blood inside and out. Tsk, unlucky."
"Isn't that because you're too playful? Wouldn't it have been better to control her with the Millennium Rod from the start? Before the duel with Camus, I noticed that guy wasn't unconscious at all. Don't tell me you, who personally caught her, didn't notice?" Hayato rolled his eyes at Marik and quickly walked towards the Front Cabin. "Stop talking nonsense there, we need to hurry and find Yugi and the others."
"Do you remember what that guy Camus said before he died just now? I'm suddenly a little curious about what 'fall with your Companion' means."
"Hey, wait for me, Brother-in-law! At least let me find where the Restroom is first."
But before Hayato and Marik could walk two steps further, suddenly, the Ground beneath their feet trembled violently, and then it actually began to tilt!?
The next instant, the feeling of loss of gravity struck. This airplane, bearing the name "Hindenburg", began to fall from the air!
End of Chapter
Chapter 684: I Choose You!
Before, when dealing with Camus, Hayato had been concerned that using overly powerful Spirits would damage the airplane, so he had only used the relatively weaker power of the Shaddoll. But compared to the current situation, Hayato threw the concern about damaging the airplane to the back of his mind.
"I choose you!" Gripping the wall tightly with one hand to prevent himself from falling due to the sudden tilting of the ground beneath his feet, Hayato used his other hand to draw a card from his Card Box and fiercely threw it towards the nearby wall.
As the card left Hayato's hand, it instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot out. Marik, who was also holding onto a handrail to steady himself, sidestepped to avoid it. The bolt of lightning instantly traveled along the Aircraft Cabin's metal structure, reaching the outside without damaging the airplane.
Among all the Spirits Hayato possessed, although there were many powerful beings, not many possessed the ability to fly, let alone Spirits with the ability to lift the airplane while flying. The only ones qualified were the Three Egyptian Gods and the Sacred Beasts.
The Earth Spirit God and the Earthbound Immortals, although they indeed possessed great power, you could tell from the 'Earth' character at the very beginning of their names that high altitude was fundamentally not a suitable position for them to appear. Even Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, whose prototype was a vulture, was actually shackled by the Earth and couldn't fly too high, and Grandsoil the Elemental Lord, like a certain Divine Beast that uses Sword of the Precipice, fundamentally couldn't fly at all.
Furthermore, although Raviel, Lord of Phantasms and Obelisk the Tormentor, who are human figures in appearance, seemed very suitable for holding the airplane due to having arms, if Hayato actually did that, the greater possibility would be that the airplane would be cut in half at the position where they held it.
Superman can pull off holding up an airplane because of his absurd super force field. Kaiba President said that this World of Dueling still needs to talk about science, although he's the only one who thinks so.
After comparing Uria, Lord of Searing Flames and The Winged Dragon of Ra, who would likely melt the airplane upon contact, and Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, whose frame was so slender that Hayato suspected its claws might break upon grabbing the airplane, Hayato finally chose the most suitable Slifer the Sky Dragon.
Although Slifer the Sky Dragon had been continuously gaslighted by Hayato into thinking it was just a traitor, causing it to recently seem to doubt if it was really useless, this time, however, it did not fail Hayato's trust. At the instant the airplane was about to fall into the cloud layer below, lightning wrapped around the entire airplane, extending its body. The red long dragon, accompanied by lightning, wrapped around the entire airplane, slowing down the momentum of the fall!
"Slifer!" Inside the Front Cabin, after Yugi saw a part of the red long dragon's body wrapped around the airplane through the window, he recognized it as Slifer the Sky Dragon, one of the Three Egyptian Gods. The card for Dark Magician Girl, which he had originally planned to play to cooperate with Dark Magician's action, was also put away by him.
Just now, the violent trembling of the airplane and the sudden tilting of the ground beneath his feet also caught him off guard. Relying on not being on the ground but suspended in air, Dark Magician was fine, but Yugi and Téa both lost their footing and fell out together. Téa fortunately fell in Yugi's arms, but Yugi's head directly hit the wall, probably hurting enough to cause a bump.
However, his priority was still to ask about Téa's situation in his arms: "Are you okay, Téa?"
"Mm, I'm fine." It was also thanks to Yugi cushioning her underneath, Téa didn't suffer any injury except for being startled. "But Yugi, you hit your head just now, right? Let me see if you're injured."
"I'm fine, Téa, it was just the sound of the metal being hit that was a bit loud." Yugi, pretending to be fine, looked at the serious Téa, smiled gently, and said, "More importantly, you should get up first. You're pressing down on me a bit, and I can't breathe."
"Ah? Sorry, sorry." Hearing this, Téa quickly stood up, holding onto the handrail of the nearby seat, and also pulled Yugi up.
While pulling Yugi up, belatedly, Téa reacted: "Huh? Wait! Yugi, are you saying I'm fat?!"
"Ugh, I knew it! I ate too much high-calorie food in the American system a while ago, my weight has indeed increased again!"
Yugi felt a bit helpless upon hearing this. Should he say she's truly a young girl who cares about beauty? The airplane almost fell just now, yet now Téa was worrying about her weight just because of his comment about "can't breathe from being pressed down". Although Téa's dream is to be a Professional Dancer, so she values her stats greatly, wasn't she a bit too concerned?
But speaking of Professional Dancer, even Yugi couldn't help but look Téa's figure up and down. Although Téa said she gained weight again, places like her waist, legs, and face didn't seem to have grown any unnecessary flab. On the contrary, the two half-circles in the front and back that should have gained flesh...
'Cough cough'
Inside the Millennium Puzzle, Dark Yugi coughed, causing Yugi to withdraw his attention, feeling a bit blush, and defended himself to The Other Self: 'Uh, I was just checking if Téa was injured or anything, yeah, that's it.'
'Mm-hmm, I completely believe you, Partner.' Dark Yugi said this, but the smile in his voice was too obvious, clearly not believing Yugi's account.
What saved Yugi was the gate leading to the Rear Cabin that suddenly opened not far away. Hayato and Marik walked out from the slightly tilted Corridor. As they walked, Marik was shaking his hands, as if he had just finished washing them and was shaking off the moisture.
"Hayato, how's the situation back there? Are you guys okay?"
Hayato nodded at Yugi, glanced at a flight attendant in the corner, who was face down with their buttocks sticking up and eyes rolled back, and said, "Looks like you guys were also attacked by an assassin who infiltrated the crew?"
"Nothing happened in the Rear Cabin either. I've already dealt with that attacker, and confirmed that there's no further possibility of that guy attacking us. However, I don't know what happened to the airplane just now."
"Also?" Yugi noticed the detail Hayato mentioned. In an instant, he understood that Hayato and the others must have also been attacked by an assassin disguised as a Stewardess in the Rear Cabin. He even further associated that the suspected Vampire Clan attacker likely boarded the airplane under the identity of a Stewardess.
Hayato nodded, confirming Yugi's conjecture: "It's just as you thought. That Vampire Clan also boarded the airplane under the identity of the crew. I almost want to rant, is this airplane's crew something like S.H.I.E.L.D.? They're a bit too easy to infiltrate."
"Maybe even the Pilot was infiltrated."
Just then, Joey Wheeler also arrived here. He happened to hear Hayato's sentence, and said with a strange expression: "Uh, you actually hit the nail on the head, Hayato. That Co-pilot unaccountably attacked me and Tristan. He seemed to be an assassin too. He also killed the Pilot."
"Oh, the Pilot was killed." Hayato subconsciously nodded and repeated Joey Wheeler's words. The next moment, he suddenly raised his head. "Huh!? The Pilot was killed?"
Yugi also asked in unison with Hayato: "Then who is piloting the airplane now!?"
"Although I learned helicopter piloting in Hawaii, who the hell knows how to fly this kind of small passenger plane!" Inside the Cockpit, Tristan was sitting in the main Pilot's seat, gripping the control stick tightly with both hands. "Hurry up and find someone to help, Joey Wheeler!"
Among the numerous dashboard instruments, on the altimeter, one of the few instruments Tristan could understand after applying his helicopter piloting skill, the displayed numbers were continuously decreasing.
Although Slifer the Sky Dragon is a divine dragon with the ability of soaring through the sky, it can only maintain the airplane's balance and control the descent speed. Actually, the airplane is still continuously falling!
Chapter 685 Groudon: This isn't over, is it?
From ancient times to the present, regardless of region, the vast majority of people have always held a grand dream in their hearts: to fly. Of course, it's not impossible that certain Divine Beasts who cannot fly might also have the same dream, but how could there be a Divine Beast that cannot fly?
Although it seems difficult, Flying is actually a very simple thing, just like swimming; you just need to make the upward force on yourself greater than the downward gravity.
However, being able to fly oneself doesn't necessarily mean being able to carry other things while flying. For example, right now, although Slifer the Sky Dragon has the power of flight, it needs to carry the heavy airplane. The sum of its own gravity and the airplane's weight far exceeds the lift, causing the small passenger plane where Hayato and the others were located to have already sunk into the cloud layer, clearly about to fall towards the Sea below.
How lame.
After receiving the plea for help from Joey Wheeler , the group also rushed to the Cockpit where Tristan was. Only then did they learn that the Co-pilot subdued by Joey Wheeler and Tristan was also one of the assassins. Seems like he had long prepared a backup Plan C in case Plan B failed, which was a virus that would hack into the airplane's automatic piloting system, as well as small explosives planted on the airplane's engines beforehand.
Once he couldn't return to the Cockpit within the preset time, the virus and explosives would activate simultaneously, causing the airplane, under the control of the automatic piloting system, to dive downwards. And given the airplane's original flight altitude, it wouldn't make any difference whether it was the Sea Surface or land below.
However, due to the airplane's control logic, the priority of automatic piloting is not higher than manual control. After all, although the current technological level has become very advanced due to the 'involution' behavior of a certain trench coat enthusiast, the hidden dangers of automatic piloting still exist, whether on the Ground or in the air.
So strictly speaking, the explosives placed on the engines were actually the overly cautious Co-pilot's Plan D. Even if among the group of kids on the airplane after he killed the Pilot, another person who knew piloting skill could be found, an airplane without power is just an airborne coffin, impossible for even a god to save.
Anyway, if he couldn't return to the Cockpit on time, whether the assassination failed or he was taken care of in a double-cross, it all meant he likely wouldn't survive. In that case, he might as well drag everyone down to death with him.
And facts proved that this Co-pilot, who was very suitable to be a Hero in a Different Dimension, had his preparations come into use. It just so happened that after killing the Pilot, he was controlled by Joey Wheeler and Tristan due to a sneak attack. Then Tristan happened to know a little piloting skill. So the explosives in the engines became the fatal blow. If not for Slifer the Sky Dragon desperately pulling the airplane as if it were about of breath, Hayato and the others would have probably already crashed.
But even so, the crisis still hadn't been dispelled. Tristan , cooperating with Slifer the Sky Dragon, desperately controlled the airplane to fly in a gliding stance with the only two intact engines, trying his best to delay the falling speed and buy time. But falling into the Sea was only a matter of time.
In that case, rather than dying together with an airplane whose fate of falling into the Sea couldn't be changed, it would be better to—
"Is there really no other way, Hayato?" Yugi put on a backpack, tightening the harness by looping it under his legs, and looked at Hayato, who also had a backpack on, saying, "I've never parachuted before."
"What are you afraid of, Yugi? None of us here have parachuted before either. What normal person goes parachuting? Isn't Dueling better?" Hayato tightened the harness, ensuring the parachute pack on his back wouldn't detach from him after parachuting.
Although Hayato was also wearing a parachute pack for the first time, but thanks to having seen many high-altitude falling death incidents in his past life caused by Scenic Areas not using high-altitude work safety harnesses but instead using lower-cost area restriction safety harnesses, resulting in tourists falling to their death from high altitudes, he somehow managed to learn another piece of useless knowledge through various popular science and news verification programs.
However, although it was "useless knowledge", it actually became useful in the current situation.
Although there was still some time before the airplane crashed, it wasn't ample. Everyone almost immediately took action after deciding to parachute. First, they tried to awaken the remaining five unconscious flight attendants. From them, they learned the location of the parachute packs on the airplane, and after distributing one to each person, they immediately put them on.
It's worth mentioning that although the unconscious flight attendants seemed quite confused when they were just now awakened, and seemed to have some symptoms of anemia from being bitten by Camus, however, upon hearing that the private jet they were on was about to fall into the Sea, each and every one of them quickly became conscious and took action.
One can only say that if people don't push themselves, they fundamentally don't know how great their potential is.
Another point is that this airplane was originally prepared for Pegasus alone, and that old bachelor probably had no plan of getting married and having children in the past, present, or even in the future. Actually, the airplane only had parachute packs prepared for ten flight attendants and Pegasus alone, but this time, Hayato and the others riding the airplane had a full six people.
Fortunately, there were only five flight attendants left now. Adding Hayato and their six people makes eleven people, and eleven parachute packs was just right.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished putting on their parachute packs, Yugi, however, cast his gaze towards the seat in the corner of the Aircraft Cabin. The assassin controlled by Dark Magician, and the Co-pilot who failed in his sneak attack on Joey Wheeler earlier, were tied to a chair with a rope.
Hayato also noticed Yugi looking in their direction, knowing what Yugi was thinking in his heart. He patted Yugi's shoulder: "I know you feel a little uncomfortable in your heart right now, but there's no way, Yugi. We can't leave the others' parachute packs for them. And when they accepted the quests to kill us, they had already prepared for death."
"You are a gentle person, Yugi, you can treat even those who want to kill you gently. This gentleness is precious, not a superfluous existence." Saying this, Hayato turned around, "But now, we have no choice."
"The altitude is about right, everyone hold on tight, I'm going to open the cabin door!"
After calling out, Hayato controlled Slifer the Sky Dragon, which was almost at its manifestation limit, to wave its claws and tear off the airplane's side wing to prevent colliding with the wing due to airflow after jumping out, and simultaneously suddenly opened the Aircraft Cabin Door.
Due to the huge air pressure difference between inside and outside, almost in an instant, everyone inside the Aircraft Cabin was swept up by the airflow and thrown out, their line of sight spinning, and Slifer the Sky Dragon also completely dispersed. The airplane, having lost its support, fell downwards at full speed.
The instant the cabin door was opened, because Hayato was the one closest to the cabin door, he was naturally the first one to be swept out of the airplane by the airflow. Amidst the spinning world, he finally managed to figure out which way was up and which was down, effortfully controlling his body's rotation, attempting to recover balance.
Their parachuting this time was different from normal parachuting. What is conventionally called parachuting is an activity where you ride an airplane with a professional parachuting platform and jump out from the tail at a constant altitude where airflow interference is relatively minimal, to experience the thrill of flying in the air.
But parachuting from a falling airplane is completely different. What is most important to pay attention to in ordinary parachuting is pulling open the parachute at an appropriate altitude, but currently, the most important thing for Hayato is to first regain his body's balance. Otherwise, blindly pulling open the parachute while spinning could instead cause the parachute's ropes to become entangled with his body, making it impossible to open.
The parachute not opening is a minor issue; after all, besides the main parachute, a parachute pack usually has a reserve parachute prepared, but if the ropes were to become entangled around his neck or similar positions, Hayato would probably be strangled to death in mid-air.
Although he wasn't a NewType with strong spatial awareness, Hayato's speed was also not slow. He quickly controlled his body's rotation. By controlling the airflow, he caused his body to fall downward in a balanced, prone stance. He slightly relaxed his head, whose brain matter felt like it was about to be shaken up, and began to observe the situation of the others.
Although they had only undergone an extremely brief training conducted by the flight attendants on the airplane, in the face of a life-or-death crisis, everyone learned quite seriously. Hayato saw that Yugi and Joey Wheeler almost immediately recovered to a normal falling state after he finished recovering his balance. Tristan and Téa were relatively slower, but they also recovered after not too long.
As for the other flight attendants, needless to say, although four successive assassins easily infiltrated, their team's professionalism was still undeniable. Their speed in recovering balance was even faster than Hayato's. Presumably, they could also handle the timing of pulling the parachute themselves.
But the problem was, there was one person who still hadn't figured out which way was up and down until now, rolling and accelerating downwards in mid-air.
"Mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble (That's why I didn't want to return to Egypt)!!!" Because air was pouring into his mouth as he fell, Marik's wail became inarticulate. "Mumble, mumble (Brother-in-law, Help)!"
"Who's your Brother-in-law!"
Even if he couldn't hear clearly or even hear what Marik was saying at all, Hayato guessed he was calling him Brother-in-law again. Although normally Hayato always put on a show of disliking Marik, now that things had come to this, he still had to act and help him out.
Hayato wasn't a professional parachutist; being able to perform a prone action to decelerate his descent was already his limit. He couldn't perform actions like dive acceleration or acrobatic flying. However, as a Duelist, he also had his own method.
He did not choose to open the Card Box on his waist, which would be blown messy by the wind once opened. Hayato directly took out a card from the System's Warehouse and clamped it between his fingers, flicking it out against the wild airflow: "Gathered starlight will illuminate a new miracle, I forgot the rest, the situation is urgent now, come out, Wagatama Soul!"
"Standing at the apex of the Ritual Summon, the Strongest Drytron—Herald of Perfection!"
Although Hayato considered himself to have shouted with great aura, actually, he also couldn't change physical phenomena. The lines he shouted out, because the wind poured into the air, were just some "mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble" sounds, just like Marik.
However, just like a monster having full resistance doesn't mean a Duelist has full resistance, Hayato was affected by the airflow and couldn't say cool lines, but it didn't affect the card he threw out, which violated aerodynamics and flew directly under the rolling, falling Marik, transforming into expanding radiance.
Marik only felt the airflow around his body suddenly become smaller. His head collided with the monster that suddenly appeared below him, successfully stopping his rolling. Before he could see clearly what the monster under his feet looked like, but saw that Herald of Perfection, which had only materialized for an instant, became transparent and disappeared again. He quickly assumed a prone action before the former disappeared.
Seeing that Marik had also recovered his body balance, Hayato slightly let out a breath of relief. A wave of fatigue flooded his heart. Although Hayato now was already not what he used to be compared to when he first started Dueling, his ability still grew within the scope of human capabilities. Just now, in order to delay the airplane's falling speed, he had already spent a great deal of effort maintaining Slifer the Sky Dragon's manifestation for so long.
Thinking about it this way, indeed, you Traitor Dragon tricked me again, unforgivable, Osiris!
It was also around this time that Hayato, looking downwards, saw with his own eyes the "Hindenburg" airplane they had been riding earlier, after falling for this period of time, crash headfirst into the Sea Surface, transforming into a huge display of fireworks blooming on the Sea.
If Hayato and the others hadn't jumped out, they would have only been a small, insignificant piece of combustible material within the fireworks.
Although they had successfully escaped from the plane crash incident, it wasn't time to relax yet. Hayato, against the strong wind, effortfully opened his eyes, overlooking the seemingly boundless Sea below.
Because the route they took this time when going to Egypt was basically on the Sea, far from land, after the airplane crashed, they, who had parachuted, were also above the Sea. Although having parachutes meant they mostly wouldn't fall to their death, but if there was no land to land on, they, drifting on the Sea, only had the possibility of drowning after exhaustion.
And what made Hayato slightly surprised was, when overlooking the Sea, he discovered the existence of a not small Island a little distance away. It was a lush green patch, clearly a small Island rich in natural resources.
But Hayato clearly remembered that before parachuting, he had specially gone to confirm the data of their location, knowing that there shouldn't be any Islands existing near their current location. Where did that small Island come from? This wasn't a Desert, so it wasn't very likely to be a mirage.
But Hayato also had no time to worry about so much. Landing on a small Island that looks like it's very suspicious is always better than drowning in the Sea. If they opened their parachutes at their current altitude, as long as there weren't too many problems with the airflow, they should be able to successfully glide to that Island.
After having some gesture communication with Yugi, Joey Wheeler , and the others, everyone decided to go towards that small Island without wasting too much time. Immediately, they all pulled open the ripcords on their parachute packs. Parachutes of different colors unfolded in mid-air, one by one, carrying everyone who had jumped out of the airplane towards that small Island.
Preview:
Helplessly parachuting after a plane crash, but unexpectedly landed on a small Island that doesn't exist on the map.
While waiting for rescue, they discovered that the mysterious power on the Island could actually make Card Spirits stronger? What kind of mysterious power is that!
Also, "Is this the World of Duelists? Oh no!", "Hayato Kobayashi and Friday," Let's Duel!
