Chapter 196: The Police and Rescue Always Arrive Late

The Dark Magician and Performapal Sky Magician became one through Polymerization. The Super Magical Swordsman - Black Paladin, who once defeated Pegasus's Thousand-Eyes Restrict, reappeared before the two.

However, the Super Magical Swordsman with 2800 ATK was slightly less powerful than the Gate Guardian with 3750 ATK. But unlike the Gate Guardian which had no Controller, Yugi and Hayato could Activate Cards to provide support.

"Magic Wand!" "Binding Wand!"

Two Staffs containing powerful Mystical Power fell into the hands of the two Mages, causing their ATK to soar, directly surpassing the Gate Guardian.

Super Magical Swordsman - Black Paladin [ATK 2800 → 4100]

Two beams of Mystical Power cannons rapidly Attacked the Gate Guardian. It naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for Death. The Suijin forming its crotch opened its mouth, seemingly wanting to Activate its ability to turn the Super Magician's Attack to 0.

But the Super Magician's Effect had already been Activated. A beam of petrifying light burst from the Breakthrough Skill in Yugi's hand, sealing and petrifying all three mouths of the Gate Guardian, preventing them from Activate Effects.

Without its most troublesome Effect, the Super Magician's Attack directly hit the Gate Guardian, easily shattering it!

"So, so amazing!"

Cross-dressing Mokuba exclaimed, looking at Yugi with a face full of adoration.

"Where, where, I couldn't have defeated the Gate Guardian by myself," Yugi said humbly.

Hayato curled his lip, "Hmph, don't think those past memories can hold back us who live in the present!"

"So scary!"

Even though Hayato and Yugi defeated the Gate Guardian together, Cross-dressing Mokuba's attitude towards Hayato and Yugi was completely opposite. Towards Yugi, there was an inexplicable Trust and adoration, while towards Hayato, there was a strangely firm resistance and Fear.

"We defeated this gatekeeper, so there shouldn't be any enemies ahead, right?" Kujaku Mai glanced behind the Fallen Gate Guardian. A long tunnel stretched into the unknown. "It's pitch black ahead, can't see anything."

As if responding to Kujaku Mai's words, just as she finished speaking, a cluster of burning Flames suddenly lit up in the Darkness ahead, like the Eye of a giant beast dwelling in the Darkness. More and more burning Flames appeared, densely packed and quite scary. At the same time, several shouting voices, stacked together and slightly distorted by the tunnel's echo, came through:

"...Princess"

"...Princess"

"Princess!"

"Princess Marie-sama!"

"Princess?" Joey Wheeler looked at the points of light approaching from the Darkness with some confusion, remaining alert. "Hey Hayato, didn't we already get out of the Labyrinth? Why are there still Monsters ahead? Besides, we don't have a Princess here, do we?"

Keipei gave Joey Wheeler an Eye roll. "Idiot, isn't this Woman the Princess?" Saying this, he pointed his Finger at himself in women's clothes beside him.

Cross-dressing Mokuba, or rather, Princess Marie, heard the shouting voices coming from the tunnel and wasn't scared at all. Instead, she responded excitedly, "Nanny, I'm here!"

"Princess Marie-sama!"

The Flames in the Darkness revealed their True Body. They were Soldiers holding torches high, and leading them to Hayato's group was an Old Woman who looked quite old.

"Princess Marie-sama, it's great that you're alright!"

Saying this, the Nanny picked up Keipei, ignoring his resistance and Struggle, and said with a distressed look, "Princess-sama, you've truly been wronged, dressing up in this appearance."

"That's not it! I'm not a Princess!" Keipei tried hard to push away the Nanny's mouth that was getting close to his face. "That guy is the Princess!"

"Princess-sama, you don't need to be afraid anymore, it's safe now." The Nanny wasn't listening to Keipei at all. Just as Keipei was about to be kissed by her, an embarrassed and angry voice came from behind her: "Nanny!"

"Huh?"

The Nanny turned her head to look behind her and found that her own Princess was behind her, calling out to her with flushed cheeks: "Nanny, I'm here!"

"Two Princesses?!" The Nanny couldn't figure out the situation. She looked left and right and only with great difficulty could she distinguish Keipei and Princess Marie. But then she had new doubts. "Princess, then who exactly are these people?"

"Oh, right, I haven't introduced them to you." Princess Marie turned sideways and gestured towards Yugi and the others. "These few Warriors are my saviors. They rescued me from the Labyrinth."

"Hehe." Shy smiles appeared on their faces.

"Everyone, please come with me to the Kingdom. I must repay your kindness for saving me," Princess Marie said, taking Yugi's hand and leading him towards the depths of the tunnel. The group also followed suit one after another.

Hayato walked at the rear of the group, looking at Princess Marie walking ahead. The look of disappointment from just now was gone from his face; instead, he was pondering something. There was a faint suspicion in his Heart, but the evidence so far wasn't very sufficient, so for now, he could only bury it deep in his Heart.

However, if this guess was true, then this DM World was too interesting, especially this Princess Marie. Hayato really found it hard not to connect her existence with a certain person.

After passing through the long tunnel, the group finally walked out of the Giant Rock Temple and saw the light of day again. After turning back, they discovered that they had actually passed through the Cave and the entire Mountain Range connected by the Giant Rock Temple, arriving in a vast Plain. At the exit, several Carriages pulled by "chickens" were stopped there to serve as transportation for the group, as if they had known all along that Hayato and the others would appear.

Princess Marie and the Nanny got into the front Carriage, while Hayato's group of five were in the Carriage behind. However, because the space inside the Carriage was quite spacious, they weren't sitting very crowded.

According to Princess Marie, there was still some time until their destination, so the group started chatting in the Carriage.

"What do you think, can that Princess Marie be trusted?"

Kujaku Mai glanced at Joey Wheeler who asked the question. "There shouldn't be a problem, right? No matter how you look at it, that Princess Marie is an NPC who advances the main Plot. She doesn't seem like a bad person. Moreover, that person should be a character designed based on Mokuba Kaiba, right?"

Keipei nodded helplessly. Although he didn't really want to admit that the character designed based on himself was actually female, unfortunately, he and that Princess Marie did look exactly alike.

"Kaiba Seto would not allow a character with a face exactly like his younger brother's to become a villain in his own company's game. That's how you judged it, right, Miss Mai?" Yugi also felt that Princess Marie could be trusted.

As for Hayato, he asked an unrelated question. "Keipei, was your appearance information also recorded in the KaibaCorp Database?"

"Yeah, because many confidential places in KaibaCorp use Facial Recognition Authentication. What's wrong, Brother Hayato?"

"Nothing, just suddenly asked," Hayato said evasively. Saying this, he pointed his Finger towards the distance outside the window. "Look there."

The group looked out the Carriage window one after another. They saw a white Castle built upon a high mountain. Around it were Housing Clusters like stars next to the moon, giving off an epic sense.

Joey Wheeler exclaimed even more, "A Castle on a high mountain, Heroes receiving warm hospitality, this is how an adventure Story feels!"
