Chapter 1325: Unstoppable Chain

~8 min read 1,408 words

Rafael must admit that he was really nervous for a moment just now.

The pressure from the young man opposite almost made him think of Dartz. Yes, it was as if when Rafael was weak and had nothing, he met Lord Dartz, and the other party gave him that kind of ruling power that covered the sky and the sun.

But the next moment he denied this absurd thought in his mind.

This is impossible.

Although he didn't know where this person came from and what kind of ability he had, how could anyone compare with Lord Dartz?

Moreover, today's himself is not the weak himself back then. Rafael believes that today's himself has learned to be his own master, control the darkness in his heart, and will no longer be easily seen through or easily manipulated.

Now he is one of the noble three swordsmen of Orichalcos, the killer of Lord Dartz. The inner darkness of the past has now become his weapon, and he will not be deceived by this kind of means he is most familiar with.

So Rafael raised his head: "Who do you think I am? Do you think this kind of trick will..."

His words could not be finished. Because the next moment, Rafael's pupils contracted, and he was stunned in place with a look of shock.

Because Rafael saw the graveyard?

A large piece of graves, endless. Thick fog obscured everything in the space, greatly limiting the field of vision, and also making this cemetery look as if it were endless.

A blond boy ran out from the other end of the fog, came to this cemetery, knelt before several tombstones, and sobbed in a low voice.

That was the young Rafael, unable to accept the fact that his family died, and could not find the motivation or meaning to live.

Rafael looked at this familiar and terrifying cemetery, and realized it instantly.

He was hit.

"Look, this is the deepest darkness in your heart. So many years have passed, and it has never changed." Fujiki You Xuan's voice seemed to come from mid-air, echoing in all directions, "You have never been able to get rid of the past, Rafael. You said Dartz guided you in the direction and taught you to face fear? In my opinion, it's not like that. You still haven't walked out of that day."

"I won't listen to your flowery words."

Rafael looked around, couldn't see Fujiki You Xuan in this fog, and couldn't hear where the voice came from, which made him a bit uneasy.

He raised his volume: "You want to use my past to deal with me? You think you found my weakness? Then let me tell you, smart-aleck outsider, you are too arrogant! You know nothing about me, and you have never..."

Before he finished speaking, he showed fear again.

Because he saw the ground in front of this row of neat tombstones crack.

Endless darkness was released from the crack, and a huge palm slapped on the ground. A guardian with a white mask, messy blond hair, and a god-of-death-like appearance crawled out of the crack covered in mud.

Guardian Dreadscythe.

"Why, don't you dare to look at her?" Fujiki You Xuan sounded like he was mocking, "Guardian Eatos, she followed you loyally, protected you from your childhood, until you accepted Orichalcos, stained her with the darkness in your heart, and made her look like this ghost."

Rafael: "Shut up!"

Fujiki You Xuan didn't seem to hear it, and continued on his own: "But even so, she still followed you, never leaving. But I think you should tell me honestly, Rafael..."

Rafael: "..."

Fujiki You Xuan paused, and said coldly: "How long have you not heard the voice of the spirit?"

Rafael: "..."

Spirit affinity, this is a talent he has had since childhood. Monsters are like his family, his most important guardians.

It should have been like this.

"You chose Orichalcos, chose Dartz, instead of these spirits who are willing to protect you. You even let them bear your darkness..."

Rafael: "Shut up! Shut up!"

"If you can still hear the voice of the spirit, you should know that they have been worried about you, hoping that you stay away from darkness, away from the brainwashing of religious lunatics, and even..." Fujiki You Xuan emphasized his tone, "tell you the truth."

Rafael: "What are you talking about?" "You should know what I'm talking about."

Fujiki You Xuan still didn't appear, but a crisp snap sounded in the fog.

The scene changed. The cemetery disappeared, the endless fog also disappeared, replaced by the endless sea.

Like a water wall stretching for tens of kilometers, like a steep cliff, the rolling black clouds seemed to swallow the sun and the moon. Time seemed to be stretched, and the endless tsunami seemed to be a deep-sea giant beast opening its bloody mouth, swallowing towards the helpless passenger ship.

Rafael was even more afraid: "No... don't!"

This is the fear deeper in his heart, more essential, the moment he has been unable to get rid of in his mind all his life.

It was this day that the ruthless sea swallowed that passenger ship and swallowed all his family. He was the only survivor.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to this day, his most fearful moment. Only in this illusion, he seemed to have gained a God-like perspective, seeing further and more comprehensively.

So he saw Dartz at this moment.

When the storm struck and the tsunami ruthlessly brought the disaster that changed his life, Dartz was in that palace where the fire was flickering, chanting spells to call the wind and rain, his eyes full of indifference and laughter.

Dartz summoned this storm. Dartz rewrote his destiny, manually created the disaster that changed Rafael's life, and let the originally bright knight fall into the palm of darkness.

"No, shut up... I said shut up!!!"

Rafael roared. In an instant, the illusions around him were torn apart, the Seal of Orichalcos regained control of the field, and the hexagram mark also appeared on his forehead.

"You are lying..." Rafael gritted his teeth.

Of course he understood what the meaning of what he just saw was. Can Dartz do this?

Of course he can. Rafael has stayed by Dartz's side long enough, long enough for him to know what kind of terrifying ability this lord has. Calling the wind and rain sounds like fantasy to ordinary people, but to Dartz, it's just a matter of lifting a finger.

But Rafael didn't believe it, and refused to believe it.

"You are trying to disturb my mind!" Rafael shouted, "I won't let you succeed, I won't..."

"Whether it's a lie, you should be able to distinguish, your guardian should know better. In fact, if you were still willing to listen to her voice, instead of tossing her into this ghost-like appearance, you should have known the truth long ago." Fujiki You Xuan shrugged.

Rafael was stunned, and looked at the gloomy Guardian Dreadscythe on his field.

"No..."

He shook his head and clenched his fists firmly.

"You are talking nonsense. To this day, I have no way back, just like the chain on my field at this moment."

Yes, it can't be stopped, even if he wants to stop it himself, he can't do it.

Dreadscythe must discard a hand card of the duelist to revive from the graveyard once destroyed, this is a forced activation effect, regardless of the duelist's will.

Card of Safe Return must draw three cards once a monster is revived from the graveyard to the field. This card's animation effect is also forced activation, and it can't be stopped.

So until the deck is drawn dry, this chain will continue, Rafael has no choice.

Unless the deck is drawn until there are no more cards to draw, just like the duelist's life is exhausted. At that time, this chain has to stop, and the duelist will also reach the end.

It is exactly like Rafael at this time. He has fallen into the vortex of darkness and cannot extricate himself, cannot choose anymore, only death can make the cycle of his torment reach the end.

"Fine, since that's the case..." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Then let me help you stop." ===== CHAPTER 1326 =====

"Fine, since that's the case," Fujiki You Xuan said, "then let me help you stop."
