The revival of the death, enjoy~ ^^
Chapter 25: Resurrection ~
Seth was trapped inside his own heart due to the power of the millennium rod that controlled by the old man, took over his body and used him as a weapon against his own side. In his desperation, someone came to him and gave him a hand.
Meanwhile, the spirit battle between the pharaoh and the old man continued. The old man used Dragon Manipulator's power to forced Khana's white dragon for aiming its attack at the pharaoh and others. Khairo's white dragon once again used the same attack to neutralize both of the attack. Seth's Duos stormed to cut Khairo's white dragon, but Mana's magician girl put a spell binding circle around to prevent him from doing it.
Atem knew that it's just the time before both of the sides were run out of power to fight. In order to make it stop, he had to thinking of a way to break the no-end cycle and make it into an advantage for them. He already got a plan, but he didn't have so much power to actualize it. He looked around the chamber to see any possibilities, and then his eyes caught the thief king.
"Bakura, I have something to talk to you!" Atem shouted at him because they were separated in quite a long distance.
"What is it, pharaoh?" Bakura quickly went to his place while kept avoiding the attacks.
"I've got an idea to turn this condition into our advantage, but I need your help to do it." Atem explained his plan at the thief king silently.
The old man was getting bored by his own game and he thought about putting an end of it. He got up from the ground where he seated and walked approach the battleground. Both Atem and Bakura were stood steadily; waiting for the old man to command an attack - without any spirit monsters around to protect them.
"It's really getting boring right now... White dragon, gave them a quick death!" The white dragon created a big ball of light and aimed it at Atem and Bakura.
"Now!" Atem used his remaining power to summon Kuriboh right before the light blast hit them.
"Did it work?" They couldn't see clearly due to the smoke from the white dragon's attack. Their eyes widened as the smoke disappeared and they saw the Kuriboh had successfully multiplying itself.
"Alright, now it's my turn!" Bakura used the power of millennium pendant that he borrowed from Atem to sacrifice three Kuriboh and summoned The Dark Necrofear.
W-What is that weird looking monster? The old man was a little bit terrified with its unusual and horrifying looks.
"What's wrong old man, are you scared right now? Heh heh..." Bakura tried to provoke him.
"If you think you could scare me with that, you're making a big mistake!" The old man ordered Duos and White Dragon to attack both at the same time, the Dark Necrofear didn't stand a chance to fight back and blown by the attack.
Heh, got you... Bakura tried to hold his grin.
"No fight at all? Such a weakling..." The old man grumbled disappointedly.
"Hey, old man... You said that we mustn't judge people by their appearance, right?" Atem asked him calmly.
"Indeed, why are you-" Suddenly the old man realized something wrong.
"You finally realize it; we purposely summoned that monster not because of its strength, but it's because it has ability to control opponent's monster after it was sent to the afterworld." Atem pointed at him.
"WHAT?" The old man quickly looked at his dragon manipulator and the white dragon that changed its side to the pharaoh's.
"You won't be able to defeat us now." Bakura gave him intimidating glare.
He looked around desperately, and then he grinned evilly as he saw his prisoner.
"I don't think so... I still got power to control that high priest; I could make him kill himself in a very slow and painful death if I want to." The old man pointed the millennium rod at Atem and Bakura, to make a gap between him and both of them.
"You really are the lowest..." Atem gritted his teeth furiously.
"It's alright as long as I'm able to fulfil my goal, even if I have to throw away my dignity!" The old man looked at him with hatred.
"Khh..." Atem clenched his fist.
"Now stay away or I'll make him cut himself!" The old man used the power of the millennium rod to made Seth pointed a dagger at his own neck.
Atem didn't have any other choice but to accept the old man's demand for Seth's safety, however Bakura had another thought; he decided to make his own move.
"Bakura don't-" Atem about to stop him, but it was too late. Bakura rushed toward the old man to snatch the millennium rod away from him.
"Got it!" Bakura managed to touch the edge of the millennium rod, but the old man had predicted his movement and avoided Bakura's sudden strike.
"That's one thousand years too early to do that!" The old man laughed evilly as he pointed the millennium rod at Seth.
"Seth!" Atem screamed as he saw Seth cut himself with the dagger in his hand and fresh blood flowing out of his neck, fortunately the wound wasn't deep enough to kill him. That attack made his body shocked and he accidentally dropped the necklace from his grip.
"Remember carefully; this guy would be the one who will deal with the consequences of your foolish ignorance." The old man grinned victoriously at the pharaoh.
I'm sorry cousin; this is my entire fault... Atem looked at Seth sadly, and then he saw a small light that came out of the necklace. The light eventually became wider and brighter.
"W-What's this light?" They closed their eyes to prevent them blinded by the light.
After their surrounding darkened, they opened their eyes slowly and surprised by what they saw; Seth had turned back to his normal self and he wasn't alone; Seth held a hand of the long-lost girl in shining black armour.
Jouno has brought back to life!
