The King of the Skull Servants stared at the dark eye sockets of its skeletal head, its gaze fixed and unmoving for a long time.
It was so stupid, so very stupid.
It had especially thought that being stolen to the opponent's side in a duel was already the greatest humiliation, but never expected there to be an even greater humiliation on top of that.
The furthest distance in the world is not when I am at one end, and my wife is at the other.
It was in the hands of the most disgusting swordsman it had ever encountered, its face full of humiliation and helplessness. Bound by an irresistible and powerful rule, it had no choice but to yield to the opponent and obey any of their orders.
Ah, and then it couldn't help but look over there.
The more it thought about it, the angrier it became.
The King of the Skull Servants and the partial body it summoned here both felt like their eyelids were about to tear.
"My Queen, you wait for me. I will quickly defeat this little brat and save you! You... you endure for a little longer."
Before it could finish speaking, Yugen took out another card from his hand.
"The effect of 'Marionette Mite' in my hand activates. By sending this card from my hand to the graveyard, I gain control of one Undead monster on your field.
I want to gain control of your 'King of the Skull Servants' on the field."
King of the Skull Servants: "."
The magic power of Brain Control in a duel is naturally absolutely irresistible. As a result, a second later, the King of the Skull Servants helplessly watched its partial body also run over to the opponent's side.
Immediately afterward, it saw its partial body, after jumping to the opposite side, actually reach out and take the slender bony hand of The Lady in Wight: "My Queen, you have suffered an injustice. But don't be afraid, I'm here."
The Lady in Wight was touched: "My King."
The King of the Skull Servants' partial body nodded vigorously: "It's alright now, we are together again."
The King of the Skull Servants only felt like it had been struck on the chest with a dull hammer, its eyes went dark, and for a moment, it felt the world spinning.
"You... you son of a... Cough, cough, cough."
It clutched its chest, seemingly unable to speak from anger.
If it wasn't a skeleton, it would probably have already vomited blood.
"Banish the Light Attribute 'Chaos Command Magician' and the Dark Attribute 'Breaker the Magical Warrior' from my graveyard."
Yugen held up a card.
"The light and dark souls are sacrificed to the field of chaos, here I call forth the descent of the legendary strongest warrior! Heaven and Earth Split Open -
—— Level 8, Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, Summon!"
The light and dark souls soared into the sky, intertwining and swirling into a vortex. Magic power surged, strong light erupted, and a blade of light and darkness split open a waterfall-like curtain of light. The chaotic warrior appeared from within the turbulent flow of magic power.
[ Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, ATK 3000 ]
The warrior's appearance instantly stirred up a chaotic storm in the middle of the field. An invisible pressure swept across the entire area. The Skeleton Soldiers outside the field immediately felt a pressure from a higher level, and each of them couldn't help but tremble.
In contrast, only the King of the Skull Servants, located on the altar and who should have been most sensitive to that pressure, turned a blind eye and deaf ear to the appearance of Black Luster Soldier. Its gaze remained fixed on the pair of Skull Servant husband and wife on the opposite field.
The King of the Skull Servants' partial body was holding its queen's hand.
"Then that's good."
"Then... we can be together forever."
"My King."
King of the Skull Servants: "."
Yugen: "Black Luster Soldier, direct attack! Beginning Double Destruction Slash!"
The light and dark blades slashed through the air, secretly carrying a chaotic vortex that seemed to transcend time and space as it rushed over.
Until the very last moment before being swallowed by the sword light, the King of the Skull Servants' gaze remained fixed on the loving Skull Servant couple on the opposite side.
In its dying moments, it couldn't help but think, wasn't it that its life had been filled with too much killing and too many sins, that fate suddenly sent down a newborn sun to torment it to death in the cruelest way possible?
But at least it was finally coming to an end.
Destroy it, quickly.
Living as bones is not worth it.
[ King of the Skull Servants, LP 1600 → LP 0 ]
The green light magic circle contracted, and the King of the Skull Servants' soul soared into the sky, following the beam of light and being sucked into the mid-air vortex, disappearing without a trace.
Of course, its partial body immediately followed the original body and was sucked away. Not only the partial body, but also its The Lady in Wight, Wightprince, and Wightprincess.
The entire Skull Servant family disappeared one after another following that towering green light.
It seemed that losing a card in a ritual on this altar meant that not only the duelist on that side but also the souls within the deck of the losing side would hardly escape this calamity.
But thinking on the bright side, at least they were indeed together forever.
A family should still be proper and neat.
Yugen stepped forward and pulled the deck from the deceased King of the Skull Servants' body.
Although the King of the Skull Servants' main body was sacrificed in the ritual, and there were no spirits residing in the remaining cards, perhaps they could still be used.
"Don't worry, you can go in peace." Yugen said seriously, "Your cards, your wife's cards, and your children's cards, I will use them well and won't let them be wasted."
Or at least sell them for money...
Well, that's another matter.
Anyway, the Skull Servant deck didn't seem to be particularly rare outside, it wasn't like it couldn't be bought.
Yugen continued to search the corpse, but there was really no fat on a skeleton, and even the duel disk seemed to have been transformed from the body, a mysterious product that couldn't be removed.
However, he found a small piece of green crystal.
"What is this?"
"A fragment of Orichalcos," Black Luster Soldier said.
Having once fought a battle with the Orichalcos forces in his own dimension, he should have some relevant knowledge.
"Is there any danger?"
Black Luster Soldier shook his head: "It's just a symbol of identity, bestowed upon some believers by the Evil God in the conquered areas as a symbol of power, representing it as the great agent of the Evil God in this area."
Yugen somewhat understood.
A military tally, right?
His thoughts quickly became lively: "Then if someone got this thing, is it possible to infiltrate the internal organization as an inside agent?"
"Uh, I don't know about that either." Black Luster Soldier shook his head.
This thing could only be found on characters who were at least regional leaders in the forces that joined the rogue serpent, not something you could casually see on any lackey. So he hadn't seen many.
"Regional leader, huh."
Yugen couldn't help but glance at the deceased King of the Skull Servants again.
So this guy was originally just a small boss, huh...
Collecting the spoils, Yugen turned to look at the group of Skeleton Soldiers below the stage.
Black Luster Soldier had appeared, and the group of Skeleton Soldiers had long been stunned, not daring to make a single move. Especially after seeing the miserable state of the King of the Skull Servants on the stage just now, no one dared to speak.
Their simple brain structure wasn't even really sufficient to help them understand what had just happened.
According to them, the whole process roughly seemed to be that the great king's wife followed the opponent, then the great king himself followed the opponent, and then the great king died.
The good news was that their sacrifice ritual was very successful. The bad news was that the priest was sacrificed.
But there was one thing they still understood.
They couldn't mess with this person.
Yugen jumped down in front of the skeletons.
"Alright, now I have a few questions I want to ask."
