Chapter 368: Chapter 367: Good Thing He’s Not Bright

The sword light from Black Luster Soldier fell, and the black mist forming Tragoedia’s body finally began to collapse and evaporate like a puddle under the sun.

"Damn... whatever. I’ve absorbed enough power here anyway; I can’t get any more even if I stay."

Tragoedia glared coldly at Kira.

"This time you’re lucky. But I’ll remember you, duelist. We’ll meet again soon."

He paused, his voice turning even colder.

"And it might be sooner than you think."

As he finished, his figure faded away completely, dissolving into nothing.

"So that’s the culprit behind all this?" Iwao murmured, watching the darkness fade.

"Most likely."

Kira silently took the deck Tragoedia had used, stood up, and got back on his motorcycle. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Let’s go. We still have a plan to execute, don’t we?"

"Oh, right. Let’s hurry."

Iwao quickly turned his bike around. The power plant was just ahead, and the two sped inside at full throttle.

From what Tragoedia said, Kira guessed this zombie crisis was probably his doing. In the manga, Tragoedia was unearthed by a so-called "anime team-wipe engine" archaeology group, but even then he was only partially unsealed, far weaker than before.

Maybe he’d turned this whole town into his personal feeding ground, using each zombie to help him absorb more energy. Every person attacked and drained of darkness became another zombie.

Come to think of it, Tragoedia’s original sealing was a bit ridiculous.

Back then, he inhabited an astrologer. When he tried sneaking into the forbidden palace where the Pharaoh stored his Duel Monster tablets, the priests caught him.

They summoned the spirit "Winged Kuriboh"—and in the manga, its feathers were pure white back then. Kuriboh could extract a person’s heart and place it on the priest’s "Millennium Scales" to judge their sins.

Tragoedia sneered as the priests took his heart and placed it on the scale. Instantly, the scale slammed into the floor, showing his darkness exceeded even the Millennium Scale’s limit.

He then revealed his true form, laughing arrogantly: "Shocked? Tremble before my power, you foolish priests!"

But the priests whipped out their Millennium Items and pinned him down instantly. Only then did Tragoedia realize something was off.

Wait, my heart?

Without it, he was powerless.

He’d gotten so carried away showing off his endless darkness that he forgot to retrieve his heart from the scales—so he was sealed by the priests.

Cause of death: showed off so hard, he lost his heart.

Possibly the funniest boss defeat in all of Yu-Gi-Oh.

But even then, the priests were shocked to find that, sealed in a tablet, he could still retain consciousness and even curse their ancestors from within. Such a powerful monster was rare even in their careers.

They all wiped sweat from their brows.

Thank goodness this demon was strong but not smart. If they’d had to fight him head-on, it might not have gone so well.

Tragoedia said they’d meet again. Clearly, this wasn’t his real body just now—only a fragment. The real body was still out there.

Plus, this world wasn’t identical to the manga; who knew how strong Tragoedia was now? If he’d already found his lost heart and was at full power, that’d be a real problem.

If that happens, they’ll just have to take advantage of his dim-wittedness.

But for now, it was best to focus on the task at hand.

Boom!

A wall collapsed with a deafening crash as Silent Magician burst through a hole.

All the zombies were drawn to the noise, shrieking as they converged. Silent Magician floated in midair, sweeping his staff to unleash a rain of magical blasts.
