# Chapter 264: Mere Fool, Come Duel Me Quickly
[Yugi Mutou: 3800 → 2800 LP]
"This is the final blow, Haga." Looking at the Set Card on Haga's Field and his mere 300 Life Points, Yugi Mutou said with confidence.
After all, not everyone can pull off the Life Point Lock trick. Yugi Mutou has extremely rich experience in this area; he believes no one is better at Life Point Locking than him.
Among the Monsters on his Field, the Dark Magician with an ATK of 2500 points has not yet attacked. Using his Ace Monster to finish off this guy Haga is quite fitting.
As Yugi Mutou raised his hand above his head, the Dark Magician also began chanting and casting spells, a rare display of seriousness. A purple Magic Circle instantly formed at the tip of his Staff, and streams of Magic Lightning pulsed within the Staff.
"Dark Magician, launch a Direct Attack on Haga—"
"Before that! I Activate my Set Card!" Hearing Yugi Mutou about to issue the attack command, Haga quickly flipped over the only Set Card in his Backrow. "Call of the Haunted!"
"Although Uria, Lord of Searing Flames has the ability to Negate Traps, that's only when it exists on the Field!" Haga was unwilling to lose the Duel just like that. Through his Insect Glasses, Yugi Mutou saw his eyeballs were bloodshot. "I've already abandoned my Dignity to this extent, so why is the Power I gained still unable to even threaten you!"
"I'm controlling a 'God', I don't want to lose, I won't lose, I can't lose!"
"Because of Call of the Haunted, from my Graveyard, Revive once more!" Haga's eyes widened. Because he had used Uria, Lord of Searing Flames multiple times, Yugi Mutou could even clearly feel the wilting of Haga's Life Force, yet due to his current Will to win, he actually seemed somewhat energetic.
"Dignity, Honor, and even Soul, I'll give them all up, just bring me Victory, create Victory for me! Come, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames!"
A pillar of Fire shot up from Haga's feet towards the sky. The deadly high temperature enveloped Haga's body, but within the Flames, Haga was laughing wildly: "This is the Power, come, come!"
But looking at the completely deranged Haga, Yugi Mutou said coldly, "Even now, you still haven't repented, still pursuing that illusory 'Victory'?"
"Even if you gain Victory, is a Victory achieved at the cost of Honor and Dignity truly Victory? A true Duelist would never pursue that kind of Victory!" Yugi Mutou's eyes suddenly became fierce. "Only weaklings like you think about weakening others. A truly strong Duelist only ever thinks about making themselves stronger!"
"This is what they call, 'The weak wield blades against the weak, the strong wield blades against the strong'."
"'Insect' Haga. No, Haga of the Ghouls. A guy like you, who is even more worthless than the dirty snow piled up on the sides of the road in winter, I will cut off your last hope!"
"Flip my Set Card, Quick-Play Spell Card, Trap Booster!" Yugi Mutou Discarded one of the two Cards in his Hand into the Graveyard. "By Discarding one Card from my Hand, I can Activate a Trap Card directly from my Hand!"
"Muda muda muda! Uria, Lord of Searing Flames is immune to Trap Cards, it won't be affected by any Trap Effect!"
Hearing Haga's words, Yugi Mutou smirked, "Sore wa dou kana?" (Is that so?)
"Although it's immune to Trap Effects while on the Field, when Uria, Lord of Searing Flames exists in the Graveyard, its Trap Protection disappears. Didn't you just tell me this?"
"The Trap Card I'm activating from my Hand is this one!" Yugi Mutou played the last Card in his Hand. "Massive Fire Funeral!"
"Can be Activated when your opponent Activates a Card that targets a Monster in the Graveyard—" The Graveyard Zones on both Yugi Mutou's and Haga's Duel Disks lit up simultaneously, and the phantoms of Monsters sleeping in the Graveyard were released from them.
Berfomet, Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts, Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast, Doom Dozer, Queen's Knight, Man-Eater Bug, Atomic Firefly, and the one just chosen as the target of Call of the Haunted, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames.
"Roar!" Within the pillar of Fire, the phantom of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, about to return to the Field, struggled unwillingly. It was a celestial demon that commanded LIGHT Attribute and Fire, yet the Flames it was bathed in were betraying it at this very moment, burning its phantom!
"—All Monsters in both players' Graveyards are Banished from Play!"
In an instant, the pillar of Fire surrounding Haga lost its source of Power. Although Uria, Lord of Searing Flames was still struggling unwillingly, it ultimately failed to transcend the Rules of Duel Monsters and was Banished from Game along with the other Monsters.
Haga hadn't reacted yet, instinctively reaching out to grab the sparks floating in the air, shouting futilely, "Why, why, why?"
"Come back to me, I want Victory, come out!"
"According to the Chain Resolution Principle, Massive Fire Funeral Banished all Monsters in both Graveyards, causing Call of the Haunted's Activation to fail." Yugi Mutou pointed his hand at Haga. "Even Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, which can Revive again and again against the Rules of the Underworld, shouldn't think of returning to the Field."
"As I said before, this is the final blow, Haga of the Ghouls." Dark Magician's Attack was already prepared. "Dark Magician, launch a Direct Attack on Haga!"
"The final, Dark·Ma·gi·cian!"
The Pain lasted only a moment. The immense Magic Lightning struck Haga's body, completely wiping out his remaining 300 Life Points. According to the Rules of the Dark Game, Haga should have died the moment he was defeated, but because Yugi Mutou managed to Banish Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, which provided Haga with the ability to initiate the Dark Game, this despicable guy was instead saved by Yugi Mutou.
[Haga: 300 LP → 0]
"I, I lost?"
Looking at his Life Points dropping to zero, Haga couldn't believe the reality before him. He slapped himself hard, as if trying to wake up from the nightmare of defeat.
"I lost the Duel, I actually lost after getting Uria, Lord of Searing Flames?" Haga finally confirmed his defeat, but the expression on his face was neither anger nor regret, but rather one of terror.
"No, no, I can't lose, I can't lose!"
His gaze fell upon Yugi Mutou, as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He suddenly ran towards Yugi Mutou. "Save me, save me, Yugi Mutou!"
Hayato, who had been tricked by this guy Haga once before, saw his actions. Although he was somewhat confused by his inexplicable look of terror, he immediately threw the Gaia The Fierce Knight Card in his Hand.
With the defeat of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, the nameless Magic Power that had spread throughout Domino City, starting from the Duel between Yugi Mutou and Haga, disappeared. The Card Spirits of Duel Monsters regained their former vitality.
And Gaia The Fierce Knight, a Duel Spirit in the Second Stage and with one foot already stepping into the Third Stage, was quite confident in its ability to stop Haga.
Because the previous Duel required leaving space for the large Duel Monsters to stand, there was still a considerable distance between Haga and Yugi Mutou. At the speed Gaia The Fierce Knight's Card was flying, Haga would probably be intercepted by Gaia The Fierce Knight halfway there.
But just then, as he was running, Haga suddenly widened his eyes and his face turned pale. As if his heart had stopped, he lost all strength in his body and suddenly fell to the ground like a zombie. His Deck, which was inserted into his Duel Disk, broke its fixing device from the fall, and all the Cards fell out of the Card Slots, scattering everywhere.
At this point, Yugi Mutou, Hayato, and even Gaia The Fierce Knight were completely dumbfounded. Was this guy faking it?
Stepping out from his hiding place, Hayato looked at the Gaia The Fierce Knight Card flying back into his Hand with surprise, and asked it with some confusion, "Did you take care of this guy just now?"
"I don't know moves like Ejection Blade yet." Influenced by Hayato, Gaia The Fierce Knight had recently taken a liking to a Manga called "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure". And as its Spirit Power continued to deepen, compared to its initial archaic speech, Gaia The Fierce Knight was now more like a normal person.
"Hayato, when did you get here?" Yugi Mutou looked at Hayato walking out with some surprise and asked.
Hayato rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. "Probably since Haga Summoned Uria, Lord of Searing Flames?"
"So you came shortly after the Duel started, huh?" Yugi Mutou said helplessly. "Haga was looking for Revenge against you, so why were you just watching from the side?"
"Because the hastily completed Duel Disk System, my body is all worn out." Hayato shrugged, making a small joke, and looked at the collapsed Haga. "This guy Haga..."
"It seems a bit late to call an ambulance now." Gaia The Fierce Knight checked Haga's condition on behalf of Hayato and Yugi Mutou. His Breathing had stopped, and even his body temperature had dropped to freezing point in a very short time.
"Did he just die like that, this guy?" With the end of the Duel, Dark Yugi, who had put in a lot of effort in the previous Duel, returned to the Millennium Puzzle to rest, and Original Yugi reappeared.
Although Yugi Mutou felt more hatred than dislike towards Haga because of the previous events, living in a peaceful era, this was the first time he had seen someone die in front of him. It wasn't enough to make him vomit or anything, but there was inevitably some sorrow at the passing of a life.
And just then, besides Hayato, Yugi Mutou, and the collapsed and deceased Haga, the voice of a fourth person suddenly echoed by the Riverbank.
"Hoh hoh, what a coincidence, isn't this our two King of Games?"
"That voice is..." Yugi Mutou and Hayato both turned around to look in the direction the voice came from. From under the shade of a tree, a young man with white hair walked out of the shadows with his hands in his pockets, standing openly before the two of them.
His previous Domino City High School School Uniform had been replaced with a white and grey striped T-shirt. The sneakers popular among students were replaced by a pair of pointed leather shoes. His messy white hair was draped down, with two strands sticking up like rabbit ears, looking both strange and handsome.
"Bakura-kun?" Original Yugi, who easily trusts others, was initially delighted to see Bakura's appearance. He had thought he would never see his friend again after Bakura transferred from Domino City High School to another School. He was a little happy to meet him again in Domino City, where Duel City was being held.
But Hayato put his hand on Yugi Mutou's shoulder, who hadn't noticed anything wrong.
"Wait a moment, Yugi Mutou. Now is not the time to approach Bakura."
"Eh~ Hayato-kun, we haven't seen each other for so long, why are you so cold?"
Bakura put on a pitiful expression, just like he did during the Duelist Kingdom. But Hayato was unmoved, just looking coldly at Bakura. "It has been a long time, indeed. Since you lost to me in that Dark Game, it's probably been a few hundred chapters, Bakura."
"No, perhaps 'Dark Bakura' is a more fitting name?"
"Tch, it's really boring playing with guys who are too smart." Hearing that Hayato had seen through his state, Dark Bakura rubbed his forehead in annoyance. "So, do you want to kill me again? With my Millennium Ring in your hands, you should be able to initiate an even more terrifying Dark Game now."
"What nonsense are you talking about, 'your Millennium Ring'? Isn't this mine?" Holding the Millennium Ring on his chest, Hayato picked it up and shook it proudly. "Why don't you try calling it and see if it answers?"
Bakura's face was quite displeased. "Hmph, still as annoying as ever. But it doesn't matter, while the Millennium Ring is the best choice, taking it back from you isn't worth the trouble, especially since I already have a pretty good substitute."
As he spoke, Bakura made a motion as if he was going to vomit. Yugi Mutou and Hayato watched as something moved upwards through Bakura's throat into his mouth. After Bakura opened his mouth and revealed what he was biting with his teeth, Yugi Mutou exclaimed in surprise, "That's, Pegasus's Millennium Eye!?"
"I didn't expect the one who attacked Pegasus to be you, Bakura!"
But Hayato's focus was slightly different from Yugi Mutou's.
"I say, Pegasus's Millennium Eye was apparently forced into his eye socket, and he never took it off to clean it for so many years, right? You swallowed something like that, don't you feel disgusted?"
Thinking this, Hayato noticed something else. "Speaking of which, the Millennium Eye is so big, your throat can actually swallow that?"
Sharp sword, sharp eyes. Mere Dark Satoshi, come duel me quickly.
