# Chapter 192: The Thief

In the center of the Arena, wearing the fashion item "Pig Head Mask" to conceal her True Form, Joey Wheeler felt a sense of difficulty facing the Participant opposite him. Although her Stats looked like a good Woman, once she started her Attack, it was like a storm, almost suffocating, not gentle at all.

He Summoned Blue Flame Swordsman and swung his sword to block the Attack from the giant bird in the sky, Skull Red Bird. On the other side, Gearfried the Iron Knight was just about to seize the opening to Attack the opponent but was blocked by Amazoness Trainee holding a whip.

"Ohohohoho, all your resistance is futile." Wearing a Mask that only covered her face, the blonde woman with elegant Stats laughed proudly. Although Joey Wheeler felt a strange familiarity with this high-pitched laughter, he just couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Unlike Joey Wheeler, Yugi and Keipei in the Spectator Area outside the Field had a faint suspicion about the Masked Woman's True Identity. They couldn't help but stand up, wanting to rush into the Arena to stop the two from fighting each other.

Just as Joey Wheeler and the "Masked Woman" on the Field were planning to continue Summoning Monsters to fight each other, a loud bang came from the stand where the organizer of this battle was located. White Smoke enveloped the Referee Stand, making it impossible to see what was inside.

The occurrence of the Accident attracted everyone's attention. Not only did the two Participants on the Field stop fighting, but even the Audience who had been cheering for the fierce battle looked curiously at the smoke. Under everyone's gaze, the smoke slowly gathered towards the center and finally turned into a human shape!

"The Chick Card, which is a Niwatori, will be taken by our Phantom Thieves of Hearts!" Relying on the Mist Body equipped on his Body, Hayato cosplayed as a smoke ghost, ignoring the Gun in Toad Man's hand, which posed no threat, and reached out to snatch away the Final Prize that had been placed aside—the Niwatori named Chick.

"Bang!" Toad Man pulled the trigger, but the Bullet passed through Hayato's Body without any obstruction, unable to cause him any Damage.

Mist Body, an Equip Spell Card that prevents the Equip Monster from being Battle Destruction.

Although in this Online Game world of Duel Monsters, Card Effects must be used in Battle State, the [Philosopher's Stone - Harel] Card that Hayato obtained before seemed not to be restricted by this.

Seeing that the Gun in his hand was useless against Hayato, Toad Man, whose Card was snatched away, was so angry he directly pounced towards Hayato, wanting to snatch back the Card, but was flexibly dodged by Hayato, missing completely.

Because he had a conflict with others and entered Battle State, Hayato directly drew several Cards from his Deck and held them high above his head: "Sorry everyone, the wonderful performance time ends here. I'm going to Leave Field now, Ciao~"

Emergency Evacuation Device Activated. Hayato was instantly ejected into the sky above the Arena. A falcon appeared behind him, grabbing his arms and flying away from the sky.

"Don't let that bastard escape! That's my treasure, my treasure!" Toad Man flew into a rage and hurriedly ordered the Guards around the Arena to chase after him.

"That guy is, Hayato Kobayashi?!" Joey Wheeler had just clearly seen who the person on the High Platform was when he heard the masked blonde woman next to him actually call out Hayato's name. He turned his head to look, quite surprised. "You guy, you actually know Hayato?"

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking, Pig Head?" The blonde woman glanced disdainfully at Joey Wheeler. "No matter what, I was also in the Duelist Kingdom's Top 8. Tsk, why should I explain this to an NPC like you?"

"Duelist Kingdom's Top 8? Wait, you couldn't possibly be!" Seeing the blonde woman Draw another Card, and on the Card was actually the iconic Harpie Lady Card, Joey Wheeler had already recognized who the person in front of him was. "Wait a minute, Mai! It's me, it's me!"

Saying this, Joey Wheeler pulled off the Pig Head Mask on his head, revealing his True Form. But he found that just as he was taking off his mask, Kujaku Mai had actually already Summoned Harpie Lady, and its claws stopped just an inch in front of his eyes. He was so scared he quickly took a step back.

"Joey Wheeler?! It's actually you!" The blonde woman was also quite surprised. She took off the Mask on her face, and it was indeed Kujaku Mai. "Why are you also in this game?"

"I came to clear this game with Yugi, Hayato, and the others. Kaiba Seto, you know him, right? He's trapped in this game." Joey Wheeler looked to the side and found that Yugi and Keipei had already climbed over the Spectator Area's Railing and came into the Arena, running towards them to meet up.

"Why is that Kaiba either having his Soul Sealed by someone or being trapped in a game?" Kujaku Mai Ranted. Then she looked at Joey Wheeler contemptuously. "However, this game isn't that easy to clear. You're still far from being able to do it."

Joey Wheeler, however, wasn't afraid of Kujaku Mai at all and shot back with a sentence: "Anyway, I'm stronger than you, that's for sure. Speaking of which, how did you end up in this game? Could it be that you couldn't clear the game, so you're also trapped here like Kaiba?"

"None of your business! Yakamashe! Urusai!"

Joey Wheeler and Kujaku Mai were just about to continue talking when they found that their heads were suddenly covered by a shadow. They suddenly turned around and ran wildly away from their spot. And in the next moment, several huge stones fell on the spot where they had been.

"Miss Mai, Joey Wheeler! Are you two alright!" Yugi, who had just arrived, asked anxiously. Just as he was about to approach, he suddenly discovered that the Arena entrance that had been closed was actually slowly opening.

"We're fine." Joey Wheeler climbed up from the ground, patting the dust off his Body, and looked solemnly at the slowly opening large door. "However, what is that over there?"

A huge iron cage was slowly pulled into the Arena by a group of Beasts. A huge Dragon Type was imprisoned in the cage and appeared before Yugi and the others.

"That is, Tyrant Dragon?!" Yugi and the others watched in surprise as the cage opened. The Giant Dragon that had been imprisoned inside angrily charged into the Arena and immediately Summoned their Monsters.

The Arena's Host did not leave with the organizer Toad Man. He stood on the High Platform and said proudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Masked Competition had a small Accident, but it doesn't matter. We have already prepared an even more exciting performance for everyone."

"Please enjoy the following: Giant Dragon and Ants!"

The Collar worn around Tyrant Dragon's neck emitted an Electric Current, further enraged the already violent Tyrant Dragon. With a roar, the massive Tyrant Dragon flapped its Wings and charged towards Yugi and the others.
