Chapter 323

The giant covering the sky stood in the clouds, and with the success of the final attack, it slowly dissipated.

Chronos sat on the ground, gasping for air, and it took a long while for him to gradually recover.

"Oh my mama... I should really exercise..." He muttered while climbing up, picking up the box containing the keys, then walking to the seal, taking the keys out one by one, and carefully stuffing them into the box.

"Chro... Chronos..."

"Eek!!" Chronos was startled, the box in his hand almost falling to the ground. Turning back, he realized that the pale-colored Ye La actually still had the strength to speak.

No, or was it a flash of brilliance before death?

In this state, even Chronos, who knew nothing about Dark Duels, knew that he was basically not far from death.

"Heh..."

Chronos had originally wanted to hear what kind of harsh words this guy had, but he didn't expect this person to just laugh like that and then completely lose all reaction. It was as if his life was complete if he could scare Chronos in the final moment.

What is this—

Intentionally scaring me?!

He held the box and looked at this person nervously.

After a long while, he heard footsteps, and some Kaiba Corporation employees in black suits ran into the forest.

As long as one was on this island, no one could miss that giant towering into the clouds, so upon noticing the situation, these Kaiba Corporation members immediately ran here regardless of their lives.

But fortunately, upon learning that the person here was Acting Principal Chronos and that he seemed to have defeated an evil duelist, they felt relieved.

A man in a suit wanted to walk over to lift Ye La, but just as he was about to do so, a large amount of black energy suddenly rose from Ye La's body.

The employee was immediately knocked over and hit the wall.

And at this moment, Ye La also seemed to be controlled by someone, floating in the air.

"Oh my mama..." Seeing this scene, Chronos screamed instinctively.

"Chronos—" A voice emerged from Ye La's body.

Upon hearing this voice, Chronos, who had been very nervous and fearful, immediately stood straight, widening his eyes: "It's you!"

Although he hadn't heard it many times.

But!

Even if it turned to ash, he could recognize this voice.

The voice of Chima Lingwang!

"Finally, you finally couldn't help but enter the field yourself!"

What?

Hearing Chima Lingwang's words, Chronos was a bit slow to react for a moment, but as a teacher, as an Acting Principal, he could show weakness in front of anyone, except for Chima Lingwang—

He would never admit defeat in front of Chima Lingwang.

Therefore, Chronos used the last bit of strength in his body, stood straight, faced Ye La directly, and mustered his momentum as much as possible. Black flames burned sporadically on Ye La's body, slowly burning Ye La's body, slowly burning his clothes and skin into white ash, while the black flames illuminated the place brightly.

"Please stand further away, Principal Chronos!" A Kaiba Corporation employee stood in front of Chronos.

"No need! I'll just stay like this!" Chronos directly declined.

Subsequently, he stared directly at the humanoid figure floating in the air, lowered his voice, and said: "Professor Chima, where exactly are you now? If you come out and plead guilty now, Kaiba Corporation's judgment of you will be lighter."

"At this point, are you still trying to lie to me? Chronos."

Chima Lingwang's voice came from Ye La's body. He spread his hands and said: "Your current vision is still limited to one dimension, while I have already broken away from this realm."

He seemed to still think Chronos was another ambitious person fighting him.

"Now that you have taken action yourself, you can certainly disrupt my plans, but—what about your disciples? Without your protection, they are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered in another dimension."

Chronos's two eyebrows tangled together.

"The day I wipe out you master and disciples won't be far off, just wait, Chronos!"

After speaking, Ye La fell from the sky, and with a thud, he went completely limp there.

Chronos looked at Ye La's body and was silent for a long while—

So...

That's it?

Just simply leaving a harsh word?

He kicked Ye La's body gently with his foot, and after finding that there was really no movement at all, he leaned over, picked up Ye La's Duel Disk, and investigated Ye La together with the Kaiba Corporation members.

In Ye La's clothes, they found a card emitting black energy.

Darklord Zerato.

His trump card, which also seemed to be the source of his power.

Chronos opened his deck and flipped through it for a while, finding that most of the cards had changed from "Darklord" to some ordinary Fairy-Type monster cards, such as Goddess of Reversal, Wingweaver, and the like.

Looks like, it should be that!

Seeing this scene, Chronos immediately realized what type of "spirit card" it was.

This was clearly the same situation as Chui Xue.

As a professor at Duel Academy, he naturally paid attention to the current situation of every student.

During a certain period, Tianshang Yuan Chui Xue felt like breaking down because no matter what card he put into his deck, it would turn into Red-Eyes in a duel. At that time, he approved Chui Xue and Tiancheng Kō's application to go to the 【Mountain】 dimension, so of course, he knew about this.

It looks like as long as one wears this Darklord Zerato and puts Fairy-Type cards in the deck, one can use Zerato's power to transform them into Darklord cards?

Kaiba Corporation personnel tested the Darklord Zerato card with equipment, and then handed the card to Chronos.

Although Kaiba Corporation had a bit of a world police flavor in this world, outside of those things, the most important thing for the company was only one point, and that was to maintain the normal rights and interests of duelists.

As the winning side, since the losing side not only used dark power but even committed theft, then after losing, naturally everything would be handed over to Chronos.

Chronos picked up the card, and he felt a slight pain in his right hand, but it didn't show an "inverted cross" like Ye La's. Clearly, he was not the "blessed one" in Ye La's words.

But Chronos couldn't pretend he didn't know about this matter.

As the Acting Principal of Duel Academy, since someone wanted to steal the Seven Stars Key today, he had to make more decisions beneficial to the school in this world.

The GX Tournament was the most important thing entrusted to him by the principal before he resigned, and of course, he didn't want any accidents to happen at this time, making the principal, who was already under heavy scrutiny and had a bad reputation, even worse off.

Therefore, he had to pay attention to both reality and the GX Tournament.

"Oh my mama..." Returning to the principal's office, Chronos sat in the principal's chair, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and he slumped on the table.

Too tired.

Mentally and physically, the events of the past month or so were more troublesome than everything he had to be responsible for in the past year.

But he still tried his best to concentrate, took out a piece of letter paper from the desk, and began to draft a letter. After writing it, he thought for a while, and then stuffed the Darklord card and another card into the envelope together.

The other card was an extra "compensation" from Kaiba Corporation after his month-long interrogation ended. He planned to send it to Tiancheng Kō along the way.

That's right. He wrote a letter to Tiancheng Kō.

Being unable to be in two places at once, he had to sit in the academy and could not leave.

At this point, he could only trust his students!

As a teacher, if you can't even trust your own disciples, then who else can you trust!?
