Chapter 28 - Extraction
"Before taking him as your personal slave, mighty Per'a'ah (Pharaoh), allow me to investigate his soul with the Sennengan (Eye of the Millennium). Considering what has happened, he may have a Ka inside him. Therefore, I request your permission." He speaks in a respectful tone.
"I think it's a good idea, Per'a'ah Shimon mutters because he was the only one who could speak, regardless of authorization because he was the royal Councilor, although he should use a respectful and submissive tone.
Atemu sighs and nods.
Then, he turns to Yuugi and uses the power of his item to check his soul and after a few minutes, manages to identify the presence of something inside the young man.
After forcing the power of his item, he gets a glimpse of something he can't recognize because he finds himself cloaked in a strong glare. Even though he could not discern exactly what he had seen, he was appalled, ending his probe with his Sennen Aitemu.
"There's something inside it. But I can't see it exactly. It's well hidden." He speaks respectfully after turning to his nephew.
"Is it a Bah too, Hem-netjr Akhenaden?" Atemu asks while hiding the worry in his voice that if he were a Bah, he couldn't take it back from his beloved.
"No. I feel I have no dependence on his Bah."
After his words, the tension in the environment was so thick it could be cut with a sword.
Shada approaches and after bowing, receives permission from the monarch to speak, "Allow us to reveal this Ka, Heru (Horus)."
"I allow." He consents as he speaks.
Shada stands in front of the tri-colored young man and points the Sennenjou at him, trying to figure out who it was.
Meanwhile, Yukiko found herself possessed inside her friend when she realized they used magic through strange items to investigate inside Yuugi as they used her powers.
The half dragon growls furiously as it perceives the approach of the magic coming from the golden item, with her not wanting them to discover the small part of him that she saved and that was protected with her powers, as well as, she did not want to be identified because she wanted to be together to protect him properly.
As soon as the item manages to find her, Yukiko demonstrates all her fury in her blue orbs and gaping jaws while growling deafeningly, aiming to expel the invader, with her succeeding in her attempt.
Outside, everyone watched Shada land on his ass as she muttered in amazement, "It's amazing... I just saw the outline and I can tell it's powerful. Very powerful."
"Bring a Wedju Stone!" Seto orders the soldiers to run to carry out his orders.
After bringing a huge sandstone slab previously imbued with heika, he points his Sennen Shakujou at Yuugi, making the object glow brightly while Yukiko felt the magic of the item that wanted to rip it from him and even if in the past, she had wanted to have a body of her own, that desire had been modified because of what had happened to his friend.
After all, the half dragon wished inside him to try to protect him, fearing that she would not be able to protect her childhood friend properly if she stayed away from him.
Therefore, she starts to fight hard against extraction.
Besides, Yukiko didn't know what would happen if they managed to extract her and if she would have her body back, if they succeeded in their plan to remove the strength from within him.
After a few minutes, Seto speaks and the immense effort he made when fighting Yukiko was visible, "We need to combine the other Treasures!"
The others consent and concentrate, using together all the power of the items and even so, they cannot extract, causing the monarch to surprise them all by rising at the same time the Holy Guardians muttered in surprise:
"Per'a'ah..."
When the sovereign focuses the power of his Sennensui, Wadjet's eye glows brightly, with everyone noticing a third eye on his forehead. The appearance of that eye brought fascination to his guests and fellow countrymen, gradually taking control of the power of the items for himself by making them react to his Sennen Aitemu, making them reverberate in resonance to his as he "led" others, for later , channeling everything in the being inside the one he loved while he was aware of Yuugi's health status because they were using powerful magic items and he would never forgive himself if he hurt the one he loved with all the strength of his being.
"Get out!" Atemu's commanding voice that reverberates through the throne room was deep as the darkest abysse equally relentless.
Then, with a burst of power, Yukiko is forcefully pulled away by the combined power of the magical artifacts, with everyone watching a fluffy white dragon with fuzzy cat ears and long snout, emerging amid an intense glow that enveloped Yuugi's body until it lands with a crash on the sandstone floor of the hall, then shakes its long neck, with everyone noticing the sharp and elegantly curved claws that appeared to be made of diamond, with everyone's eyes going to the end of her tail which she displayed a threatening club while the wings with imposing feathers spread awkwardly, causing people to flee in the surroundings so that they were not hit, for later, the half dragon regains control of them by bending them momentarily close to its body , starting to look at everyone who were in the hall, displaying the purest fury in the orbs that shamed the most beautiful sapphire.
The sight of her made most people back away, fleeing desperately from the place, ending up with screams of fear in the hall, with many displaying a terrified face as they fled while the others just babbled incomprehensible words as they were taken by a strong fear that made them freeze, showing their bulging eyes to the immense being in front of them.
In the meantime, as Yukiko concentrated to manage a physical body again after years of inertia, moving its wings, paws, neck and jaws, making a point of quickly exercising its newly acquired muscles, the Sacred Guardians were stunned by the sight The dragon was one of the biggest monsters they had ever seen, with the exception of the Gods and Exodia, according to reports of its size, as it was summoned by Shimon several decades ago to obliterate the armies of the hekau khasut (Hicsos).
Then, they recover and begin to invoke the powers of their respective Sennen Aitemu to seal her in the Wedju Stone that had been brought by the guards and upon trying to seal her, they discover that the items do not react to sealing in her presence, thus evidencing , over their stunned look that it wasn't a Ka or a Bah, with them trying to figure out what the huge dragon was in front of them.
After being comfortable with the return of a physical body, she starts to focus on the Holy Guardians, giving the monarch a look of fury because she wanted to free her friends and if she had to destroy that place and kill people, so would she.
After all, a dragon's fury could not be easily quelled.
Yukiko emits a deafening roar as she opens her powerful jaws, revealing rows of sharp white teeth, then advances on the human closest to her, in this case, Seto, raising his front arm while flexing his claws as he descended. against him who surprises her by deftly averting.
Thanks to training, as he was one of the best warriors after Atemu, Seto was able to get quick reflexes, making him dodge the blow while turning his body, thus managing to hit it with his Sennen Shakujou as he descended relentlessly against the back of the paw that had sharp claws to reveal the sharp part that was hidden inside the object.
With this move, he manages to slightly wound her inside her fur, with everyone being surprised to see a drop of blood on Sennen Aitemu and on the ground while the dragon shrank her paw, licking the wound and after finishing licking, growls furiously at the king's cousin as the Hem-netjr walked away safely, joining the other Holy Guardians, with everyone processing the appalling discovery that the monster in front of them was a living being by the blood that dripped from Seto's weapon and the bloodstain on her paw, thus explaining why the Wedju Stone did not react to her presence and why its items did not activate the sealing.
After all, the dragon was not a Ka, much less a Bah, but a living being, no matter how surreal this realization was for everyone in the luxurious hall.
Overcome with rage, she swings her tail, with her club slicing through the sandstone floor, and then roars deafeningly, thus demonstrating all her fury at what they did to her friends and at taking her out of Yuugi.
In the meantime, Jounouchi, Honda and Ryou, who didn't run away with the others who weren't paralyzed with terror, begged their parents to run away, with the same refusing while they had walked away from the place where Yukiko was, with Mariki if joining his friends while he was worried about his brothers, Isis and Rishido despite her being a Holy Guardian and his being General of armies and Superintendent of Medjay, in addition to possessing a personal Ka.
After managing to get their loved ones away, putting them to safety, with the exception of Mariki, since their older brothers were close to the monarch, the quartet advanced towards the dragon in order to help their friend face the enraged dragon while they decided to act when the opportune time to do so came.
At the same time that Seto had dodged the attack, Mahaado decided to concentrate his magical powers and after gathering enough power, he made sprout from the sandstone floor, magical chains that are launched by an invisible force on the dragon, managing to immobilize it temporarily to allow a counter-attack by their parts.
As he analyzed Yukiko's behavior, Atemu had noticed that the dragon always avoided hitting the pillars when brandishing its club, even to the point of noticing how careful it was to avoid hitting them, even immersed in fury, making it arch its straight brow because it wasn't an expected behavior of a beast, and her blue orbs showed intelligence behind the anger that sparkled in them, demonstrating that she had intelligence, including the fact that she understood the risks involved in hitting the lotus-shaped pillars.
When the dragon makes a movement with its wings, trying to stretch them to the sides in its frantic struggle to free itself from the chains that restricted it, it ends up hitting a kind of table, causing a vase to be thrown high, for later , start to fall towards Yuugi, causing her to be alarmed to see that her friend was in danger.
To protect him, she manages to partially extend some of her wing feathers, placing them on top of his head, creating a feathered shield that blocks the object, causing the vase to shatter against her feathers and bending them slightly to behind, the pieces fall towards the ground.
Besides Atemu, Seto, Shimon and Mahaado were also focused on her actions, with the trio realizing that the being had intelligence, not acting like an infuriated beast, besides demonstrating how much he cared for the young man.
Then, the wielder of Sennen Shakujou has an idea and approaches his cousin, whispering the plan that has sprung up in his mind to contain it, making the monarch sigh discreetly at not appreciating his words, even though he agrees with what he said. Shimon heard about the strategy to stop her, nodding in agreement, knowing that Atemu cared about his people and that his cousin's plan was best at that moment to contain the dragon.
Even not appreciating his cousin's plan, the sovereign knew that it was something necessary, however bitter it was for him and that he would have to act accordingly to convince the being in front of him of the seriousness of his words.
After sighing again, the monarch gives his permission to continue with the plan that would break his heart into pieces while he was fully aware that he would need all his self-control not to succumb to the burden of his decision because his obligation it was to keep his people safe and therefore his empire.
After all, he couldn't allow a dragon to roam uncontrollably because considering the fury she displayed, his people could get hurt and that was something he couldn't allow to happen.
Then, a plan occurred in his mind that was to be carried out after his cousin's plan, with him sharing with Seto, Shimon and Mahaado while the others were busy distracting the being that threatened to break free of magical restraints.
Meanwhile, Mana had managed to drive Kisara away from the dragon because she thought she might end up hurt, with the mage apprentice unaware of the fact that the silver would never be in danger, even in close proximity to Yukiko.
The tanned had also tried to approach the tricolor-haired youth to keep him away from the battle.
However, he couldn't and because of that, he only managed to push the silver-haired girl away from the place where the battle was taking place while Kisara showed surprise on her face when she saw the dragon, starting to unconsciously caress the bracelet on her wrist, surprising herself with the understand who the white dragon was and his relationship with the young man and bracelet, making her look at Yuugi, who was still close to his friend.
Mahaado seeks to refocus his powers to immobilize the white dragon as much as possible by muttering incomprehensible words, invoking new golden chains to strengthen the previous ones because he wanted to more efficiently immobilize the dragon while focusing on another simultaneous magic after concentrating his eyes on the golden collar of the amethyst-eyed teenager understanding the magic imbued in it and its probable origin.
New golden chains sprout from the ground and start to envelop the dragon's body, joining the others that were showing some cracks, trying to immobilize its paws, wings, tail, neck and jaws as the restrictions pulled downwards, trying to leave it immobilized against the sandstone floor, with Yukiko struggling hard against magical restrictions.
The act of the Hem-netjr Mahaado allowed the other Holy Guardians enough time to summon the Ka in conjunction with the power of the Sennen Aitemu, with the exception of the Sennen Shakujou Bearer.
The reason Hem-netjr Seto was not summoning a Ka was because he needed to be aware of the right moment to put his plan into practice and in relation to the Mages' Superintendent, he did not summon his personal Ka or other Ka's because he needed to be on the lookout to reinforce the containment of the huge dragon, if necessary.
All those who could summon Ka knew that spiritual energy, item magic, and the words used in the summon were required. The amount of spiritual energy used in each invocation was proportional to the amount of Ka's summoned by the Holy Guardian while the most powerful had a higher summoning cost and if the summoner exceeded his limit, he would die because he had no more spiritual energy for living.
Rishido, Aigami and Atemu's childhood friends were prepared to summon their personal Ka. The reason they didn't join the Holy Guardians was because there was little space and the beings could end up in each other's way, as the huge dragon occupied a considerable size inside the hall next to the suit and some of their personal Ka possess a considerable size.
Hemt-netjr Isis summons one, Akhenaden summons two at once.
Karimu (Karim) also summons two, as does Shada.
However, before the summoned Ka's could attack, Yukiko opens her jaws and blows a freezing blizzard by breaking the chains that had previously held her mighty jaws.
All Ka are summarily frozen and fall like stones, crashing to the ground, causing them to return to their original prisons to recover while the Holy Guardians bowed in pain and spiritual drain, especially those who summoned two , with the half dragon preparing to blow its freezing blast again.
However, Atemu notices his movement and focuses his power, making his Sennen Aitemu shine while concentrating his power to summon a specific Ka.
His act makes everyone look expectantly at their monarch, wondering which of the mighty Ka's in their arsenal their living God would summon, as they become aware that the three most powerful monsters are under their sovereign's domain. In this case, the three monsters considered as Gods for their extraordinary power and divine grandeur.
In their view, only a Netjer (God) could invoke other Gods and in their view, the Per'a'ah was a God among men, possessing all divine authority to ordain these mighty beings.
