After dispatching a group of monsters, Yuei Vu continued to follow behind the silver-haired girl, all the way through the valley without encountering any obstacles.
In fact, Duel Monsters Spirit World was not like a fairy tale kingdom, and not all spirits were naturally friendly to humans.
Like the spirit of Jinzo that appeared in the Yu-Gi-Oh GX animation, it wanted to capture the souls of students as sacrifices for his own resurrection…
…certainly still through the way of playing cards.
So he lost to Yuki Judai in playing cards, not only failed to resurrect successfully, but also suffered an invincible "Solemn Judgment" during the duel, and was directly wiped out by a lightning bolt from the sky…
So although there were many naturally friendly and kind spirits like Kuriboh and Dark Magician Girl, there were also many spirits who covet human souls and regard people as rations and nutrients.
Along the way, although Yuei Vu seemed to occasionally notice one or two unkind glances from the side from time to time, they were only fleeting.
It was as if the silver-haired girl exuded some kind of sacred and inviolable aura. After seeing her, all the monsters and spirits with malicious intentions weighed their own weight and finally chose to retreat silently.
This girl must have a lot of background!
Yuei Vu turned his head to the Dark Magician Girl: "Can you roughly perceive her strength?"
Dark Magician Girl shook her head: "I can't. But I know she should be very powerful… her magic power should be stronger than mine."
She bit her lip when she said that, as if a little unwilling.
"Magic power?" Yuei Vu was taken aback, "So she is also a magician?"
"It should be." Dark Magician Girl nodded.
The journey was smooth, and Yuei Vu quickly guessed where the girl was going to take him.
Not long after walking, Yuei Vu raised his head, and at a glance, he saw the big evil golden eye faintly revealed behind the lead-like cloud in the sky not far away.
Yuei Vu instantly recognized what it was – it was the evil god that appeared in Domino City for a moment but was immediately repelled by the legendary dragon Timaeus controlled by Yugi.
That was the eye of the God of Orichalcos.
Yuei Vu seemed to have guessed something suddenly. He asked the girl in front, "Do you want me to go over there and help kill that thing?"
The silver-haired girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Ah, I see!" The Dark Magician Girl suddenly thought of something, "Master, the reason why you came to this world is also because of the influence of that thing!"
She pointed to the eye in the sky: "That evil thing simultaneously shook the foundation of our world and Master's world, and affected the barriers between the worlds, so you can come to this world."
Yuei Vu turned his head and asked the silver-haired girl: "Is that so?"
Although he didn't even know the other party's name, Yuei Vu instinctively felt that this loli might be more reliable than his magician girl…
The girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded with some hesitation.
"That's true, but not entirely true."
A hoarse and forceful male voice sounded in front of them.
The combat boots landed on the ground, and standing in front of them was a general in heavy armor with a long knife hanging from his waist. His armor was an ominous dark red, his eyes were as red as blood, and there was a dark aura lingering all over his body.
The general stood in the way of several people, looked directly at Yuei Vu, and said indifferently: "But why you came here instead of other people, maybe this is fate."
This person's courage was completely different from the monster spirits he encountered along the way, obviously not at the same level.
The silver-haired girl who had maintained a paralyzed face the whole time also changed slightly. She took a step forward and stopped in front of Yuei Vu, confronting the general in red armor tit for tat.
The general looked down at her and sneered disdainfully.
This one really looked quite different from the art styles of those Normies he met before.
The girl bit her lip, but she still didn't give in.
But Yuei Vu took the initiative to come forward: "It's okay."
Yuei Vu really didn't remember the loli, but he recognized the general's image at a glance.
Yuei Vu narrowed his eyes: "You are…Shien, right?"
The general showed surprise: "You know me?"
Great Shogun Shien, a famous old card in Yu-Gi-Oh. It belonged to the "Six Samurai" series.
Yuei Vu had never seen this card or the Six Samurai series in the outside world, but he never expected to see the man himself in the Duel Monsters Spirit World.
And this was also the first spirit that Yuei Vu has finally met since he came to this world and was willing to speak.
"You're right, but not entirely."
Shien did not answer directly. He was silent for a moment, and said: "Since you came here from the temple of the evil god, you must have known about the war ten thousand years ago, right?"
Yuei Vu knew that "The Temple of the Evil God" probably refers to Doma's headquarters. He nodded: "I know."
"Thousands of years ago, the human named 'Dartz' colluded with the evil god to destroy the world. But his father led a group of brave men who resisted him and opened the gate of the Duel Monsters Spirit World, releasing three legendary dragons and many other dueling monster spirits to fight to the death with the evil god.
In the end, although the evil god was defeated, the Duel Monsters Spirit World also paid a heavy price. Three legendary dragons fell into a deep sleep, and the vitality of the spirit world was also seriously injured.
But the evil god hasn't been defeated yet, it's just dormant in the dark, waiting for the time to come back, stronger than ever. "
He pointed to the evil eye in the sky.
"Look! That's the eye of the evil god! Now it has eroded into this world, devouring the world with its evil power all the time. How long will it take? No one knows, but sooner or later, it should also appear in the world where you humans live …"
Yuei Vu asked: "So, did you call me to this world to help you solve that big eye?"
He remembered that in the animation, two Yugis went to the world of spirits in this way. At that time, it was the Dark Magician Girl spirit in their hands who asked them for help.
As he spoke, Yuei Vu turned his gaze to the silver-haired girl. After all, the first spirit he saw after waking up was her, so Yuei Vu visually judged that the NPC who gave him this mission was most likely to be her.
Kuriboh: "Kuri Kuri!"
…Oh right? Technically the first spirit he saw was the Kuriboh.
But Kuriboh didn't look like an NPC who could give a mission...
The silver-haired girl shook her head, expressing that it was none of her business.
"No one called you, human warrior. You come to this world because you are guided by fate." Shien said.
Yuei Vu: "?"
"As I said, 10,000 years ago, Dartz's father opened the door to the Duel Monsters Spirit World and established a connection between the two worlds. A war broke out between the two sides, the monster spirits and the god of Orichalcos.
And today, 10,000 years later, the god of Orichalcos has revived, and the three legendary dragons have also awakened. The great war of 10,000 years ago is about to be continued, and the door that was once closed will also be unsealed…"
Yuei Vu thought of the large number of dueling monsters that were sealed everywhere in the entire temple from the ceiling to the wall to the floor when he fought with Dartz and suddenly thought of something.
"You mean, that door…is in the room where Dartz and I dueled?"
"During your duel, there must have been extremely powerful energy, and that force hit the barrier between the two worlds that were already on the verge of unblocking, so you were sucked into the spirit world.
But now, if you want to go back to your world, the only way is to defeat the evil gods who invaded this world. "
"The extremely powerful energy generated during the duel", Yuei Vu immediately thought of the "Superconducting Wave Thunder Cannon" blasted out by the Osiris he controlled at the last moment.
…So the one who was responsible was the sky dragon?
"Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's the inevitability of fate." Shien said, "The human duelist who appeared here just when the spirit world needed it most, maybe you can really help us defeat the evil god and save the two worlds."
It seems that the God of Orichalcos was smeared by Timaeus last time, and his condition was not very good after that. He was hiding in the spirit world to absorb nutrients and recharge his batteries.
Yuei Vu thought if he closed the door and released the sky dragon right now…maybe he could skip the card-playing process and solve the evil god before he woke up?
Seems like it's not impossible…
Then the problem came.
What was this general doing here?
Shien said indifferently: "I haven't seen human warriors for many years, and I don't know how strong the strong among human beings are today.
Before you pass here, You must first prove that you have this qualification.
If you lose, your soul will become my nourishment. And if you win, I am willing to be your servant. "
As he spoke, a mass of black air swirled around, and a red Duel Disk appeared on the arm of the great general.
"…Prove yourself to me through the samurai's sacred ritual, warrior of mankind!"
Yuei Vu: "…"
"A duel speaks louder than a thousand words" indeed…
He guessed blindly that the General might be exhausted from not being able to find a comparable player for too long, and he couldn't supress his card addict if he saw someone wearing a Duel Disk on the road…
After all, this was the world of Yu-Gi-Oh.
Not to mention the dueling monster spirits, even if Sadako(1) got out of the TV in the middle of the night, grabbed a Duel Disk, and insisted on pestering you to play cards, it might not be so strange…
