Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World
Pointing in a certain direction with a short finger to indicate that someone is approaching.
Hearing the call and the action, even Alexis Rhodes, who didn't understand, roughly grasped the meaning and looked in the direction the Sphere Kuriboh was pointing with Jiang He.
Soon, the figure of a dignified woman with a wheat-colored complexion, dressed in a black robe, appeared not far away.
With a serious expression, he threw a backpack on the ground and said to them, "This is the sacred cemetery of the Gravekeeper Clan, not a place for you. Leave here quickly before the patrols find you!"
"Otherwise, they'll end up like those other people, captured by the elders and their men, mummified, placed in a stone coffin, and buried alive as punishment for tomb raiders!"
Upon hearing her words, Jiang He immediately noticed several key phrases.
With a slightly strange expression, he asked the kind-hearted Gravekeeper Clan woman, "So, the companions who came with us have all been captured and tied up?"
Alexis Rhodes also wore a solemn expression, along with a hint of fear that many of her acquaintances were about to be buried alive!
Waiting for the other party's reply.
She had already recognized that the person holding the backpack that had been thrown on the ground seemed to be one of the group of people, including Professor Banner, Jaden Yuki, and Chumley.
"That's right. Trespassers who enter the sacred tomb of the Gravekeeper Clan will only escape the punishment of being buried alive if they survive the Shadow Duel trial with the elders."
The dignified woman with wheat-colored skin, dressed in a black robe, nodded seriously without refusing to answer.
They wanted to continue explaining the seriousness of the problem and persuade Jiang He to leave immediately.
"Your companions are basically all tied up and waiting to be buried alive. The boy they elected represents their last hope and is undergoing a Shadow Duel trial with the elders of our Gravekeeper Clan. The situation is already very bad!"
"If he loses, those people will all be completely sealed in the stone coffin and buried alive!"
Before she could say anything more to Jiang He and Alexis Rhodes, her expression changed as if she had been summoned by something.
"Oh no, the elder is summoning me to battle."
"If you don't want to be captured and forced into the Shadow Duel Trial as well, please leave now, you intruder!"
As her last words faded, she quickly disappeared into a dim light.
"Jiang He, what should we do now...?" Seeing the situation, Alexis Rhodes asked Jiang He with a hint of alarm.
"Since Jaden is already engaged in a duel, we should naturally go and take a look," Jiang He said with a calm smile, showing no concern whatsoever.
He stated that he still intended to show the Gravekeeper Elder his true "Gravekeeper Deck"!

"Young man, let me show you the consequences of trespassing on the sacred royal cemetery! My turn!"
When Jiang He and Alexis Rhodes arrived near an altar area, guided by the little Sphere Kuriboh, they found themselves together.
Just then, they saw a middle-aged elder dressed in a white robe with a black cloth on his head, fighting against Jaden Yuki in the distance on the two high platforms.
At this moment, there was nothing on the field in front of Jaden Yuki except for a face-down card.
Even its health points have dwindled to a paltry [2300LP].
On the opposing side's field, there was a bald, pot-bellied figure in black robes wielding a long spear, and a familiar-looking masked female assassin in black robes.
They hold an absolute advantage.
However, his HP is slightly lower than Jaden Yuki's, at only [1300 LP].
Upon noticing Jiang He and Alexis Rhodes's presence, the black-robed, masked female assassin whose figure was hovering above the ground paused for a moment.
Clearly, they didn't expect them to show up here!
"What's going on? The Gravekeeper's Assailant?" The Gravekeeper Elder in white robes and a black turban noticed this unusual movement and frowned.
Soon, following the gaze of the Gravekeeper Assailant, he immediately spotted Jiang He and Alexis Rhodes!
He snorted and said, "So, two more trespassers have appeared?"
Upon discovering the Gravekeeper Elder, a large number of the Gravekeeper Clan spearmen wielding long spears quickly emerged from not far from the altar and surrounded him.
He pointed the sharp end of his spear at Jiang He, Alexis Rhodes Asuka, and the Sphere Kuriboh perched on Jiang He's shoulder!
"Hey, watch your weapons, they'll tear your clothes and make it difficult for me to conduct the Shadow Duel Trial later."
Jiang He flicked the tip of the long spear he had just touched and muttered something under his breath.
He said that things that could be solved by playing cards shouldn't involve resorting to violence.
Jiang has no intention of fleeing!
"Jiang He, Alexis- senpai! So you're alright!" Jaden Yuki saw Jiang He and the other person and immediately called out.
When the strange phenomenon first appeared, he, Syrus Truesdale, and Professor Banner hid in a different place than Jiang He; they hid in the ruined building that Professor Banner had suggested.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself right next to the altar and was immediately captured by the Gravekeeper Clan.
They were forced to engage in Shadow Duel with their opponent.
Now we finally know Jiang He's whereabouts.
"Instead of this, Jaden, you should think about how to win first," Jiang He waved his hand, reminding that hot-blooded idiot Jaden Yuki.
"That's right. Although you two seem to be companions, the two intruders over there came later, and they also possess the key to the Gate of the Shadow Riders."
The Gravekeeper Elder, who was standing on one side of the platform, quickly looked back at the distant Jaden Yuki, his dueling opponent, and spoke.
"After I've punished you, it will soon be the turn of that new boy over there to undergo this terrifying trial!"
"The Spirit Keys?" Jiang He raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. The Gravekeeper's Elder actually knew the key to the Gate of the Shadow Riders.
He had no recollection of this being part of the original timeline.
Moreover, within the opponent, his Dragon Heart Mark Crimson Dragon Mind Power vaguely sensed the power of a Shadow Riders Dark Item, somewhat similar to Camula's Dark Lasso...
It seems that things have indeed changed slightly because of his presence.
"The duel continues!"
Before Jiang He could continue thinking, the Gravekeeper Elder in white robes and black turbans was already drawing cards from the top of his ancient Duel Disk deck at the altar not far away.
Then he raised the Duel Disk on his wrist and placed the drawn card directly into the unfolded Field Spell Zone.
"Activate the Field Spell, [Necrovalley]!"
"Boom!!"
As the Gravekeeper Elder activated the Field Spell [Necrovalley], a brown canyon rose up around the original altar amidst a violent, rumbling tremor!
It completely replaced the original altar.
The high platforms on either side where Jaden Yuki and the Gravekeeper Elder stood have been replaced by solitary stone pillars.
The canyon floor below, which is not low, is now visible!
"Waaaaah!! I'm going to be buried alive!"
The violent tremor caused the three people inside the three stone coffins in the canyon below—the squinty-eyed Professor Banner and Syrus Truesdale— who were bound with bandages and whose heads were the only visible parts, to scream in alarm.
Jiang He and Alexis Rhodes then noticed that after the altar disappeared, three stone coffins remained on the ground of the canyon below, not far away!
Inside, two unfortunate souls and a squinty-eyed man who had willingly been captured, along with a fat, brown cat, were all bound together in a long strip of bandages, with only their heads sticking out.
Seeing the miserable state of Syrus Truesdale and Chumley (Wang Qianhao), the two unlucky guys, Jiang He deeply understood the meaning of the saying, "The Seven Millennium Items are actually eight."
He would call these two the eighth Millennium Items, or the "Millennium Hostages"!
"Are you planning to use the effects of the Necrovalley to seal off my tomb?" After seeing the surrounding terrain, Jaden Yuki's expression immediately became much more serious as he looked at the Gravekeeper Elder, Dao Lin.
"What? You actually know the effect of the [Necrovalley] Field Spell?" The Gravekeeper's Elder exclaimed in surprise. "Because someone has already used the ' Dark HERO ' deck before, and shown me its power," Jaden Yuki said with a smile.
"That's why I came up with a good solution, sir. But you seem to be a step too late."

"Hmph, I don't know where you saw it, but with my current overwhelming advantage, stop being so stubborn!"
Seeing that Jaden Yuki, that hot-blooded idiot, could still laugh and talk, the Gravekeeper Elder snorted and took out a card from his hand, indicating, "I will sacrifice [Gravekeeper's Guard] on the field to summon myself!" "Summon myself...?!" Jaden Yuki was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
Even Alexis Rhodes next to Jiang He, and Syrus Truesdale, who was bound in the stone coffin below, were equally stunned.
They've never seen anything like this before...!" Buzz!
A faint light appeared on the bald, pot-bellied figure in black robes, then vanished as a sacrifice.
Soon, a similar faint light appeared on the Gravekeeper Elder himself, transferring his figure to the area in front of him in the golden light.
[The Gravekeeper's Elder]
[Star Rating: 5]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 900]
[Defense Strength: 1200]
"Wow, that's a classic scene." Jiang He couldn't help but twitch his lips and mutter to himself. (Image: I summon myself. jpg)
Jiang He suddenly realized that this Gravekeeper's Elder, compared to Camula and the others, seemed to have an additional means of venting his frustrations: he could personally engage in combat to attack him and release his emotions...
Of course, this would be something you experience firsthand while on the field, feeling the power of the underworld.
It seems the level of depression they experience is also higher...!" Then, I activate my own special effect!
Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of Jaden Yuki, the Gravekeeper's Elder smiled smugly and raised his hand in a gesture.
"When I am successfully Tribute Summoned, I can revive one monster in my Graveyard whose name contains the word ' Gravekeeper's,' and as long as I am on the field, I am unaffected by the Field Spell [Necrovalley] or its Graveyard-locking effects!"
"The one I choose to resurrect, of course, is the [Gravekeeper's Curse] who was previously destroyed by your Flame Wingman and sent to the graveyard!" "Hmph!"
With a faint light, the area next to the Gravekeeper Elder lit up, and a black-skinned monster figure in black robes, holding a spell wand, appeared, chuckling as it made its appearance!
[The Gravekeeper's's Spellcaster (BAFC)]
[Star Rating: 3]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Attack Power: 800]
[Defense: 800]
You've probably seen the effect of this card before, haven't you?
The Gravekeeper Elder immediately waved his hand and pointed at Jaden Yuki, giving the order.
"When [Gravekeeper's Curse] is successfully Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summon, it deals 500 damage to the opponent!" "Go, Gravekeeper's Curse, Forbidden Spell!"
The black-robed figure with dark skin, holding a curved spell wand, suddenly wore a cruel smile and began chanting an incantation while holding the wand with both hands and closing his eyes.
A burst of orange-yellow energy instantly shone from his body.
It affected Jaden Yuki, who was far away opposite him! "Ah!!"
Under the power of that Forbidden Spell, Jaden Yuki immediately clutched his head and cried out in pain.
His remaining health points of [2300 LP] decreased by 500 LP each time, down to [1800 LP]. "Waaah! The sarcophagus has closed a little more! There's less than half a face left!"
