===The {{Chapter summary|[[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]] faces the [[Player Killer of Darkness Turn===(manga)|Player Killer of Darkness]], who hides his monsters within the darkness.}}

He Summon ==Summary==[[Castle of Dark IllusionsYugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]] and the [[Eliminator|Player Killer]] in enter the [[Defense PositionBattle Box]] to start their Duel. [[Mai Kujaku (manga)|Mai]] warns Dark Yugi that his opponent is a Player Killer, who roams [[ATKDuelist Kingdom (island)|the island]]\1200 - taking [[DEFStar Chips]]\2500from the [[Duelist Kingdom (manga)|tournament]] Duelists. Duo Dark Yugi's opponent asserts that Mai is correct. He says that [[Industrial Illusions]] sent him, but he is not just any Player Killer, he is the [[Player Killer of Darkness (manga)|Player Killer of Darkness]]. Since the tournament rules require Duelists to Castle of win Star Chips from each other, Dark Illusion effect, Yugi wonders why [[Maximillion J. Pegasus (manga)|Pegasus]] would hire someone to interfere with the game. The field become Player Killer of Darkness explains that Duelists who collect ten Star Chips can advance to [[DarkPegasus Castle]] Terrianfor the final rounds, but there can only be four finalists. Dark Yugi recalls that there are forty participants, each of whom were given two Star Chips. This is a total of eighty Star Chips, only forty of which are needed for the finals, so Dark Yugi deduces that it is the Player Killers' mission to take the other forty Star Chips.

===Yami The Player Killer of Darkness says that he has taken the Star Chips from eight Duelists so far tonight, but Pegasus' most important command is to take out Yugi. He is shocked that there is such a reward on the head of a little child, but is certain he is going to claim it. Dark Yugi knows the reason is that Pegasus will [[Pegasus' KaibaCorp takeover attempt|gain control]] of [[KaibaCorp]] if Yugi is defeated. The Player Killer says that if he beats Yugi now, the tournament may as well end and explains that Pegasus can afford to pay the prize money, but if his plan works he will not have to. Mai is shocked to hear that they are just Pegasus' guinea pigs. The Player Killer continues and explains that if Yugiis defeated, Pegasus's Turn===plan is then to have the Player Killers eliminate the remaining participants and win the tournament. After that Industrial Illusions will have no more competition and no more masters like Yugi will arise.

He Summon [[Celtic Guardian]] in [[Defense Position]]Dark Yugi laughs that the Player Killer is dreaming if he thinks he can win. Dark Yugi vows to beat Pegasus with his bare hands and cards. The Player Killer thinks that Dark Yugi is a fool for thinking he can win, as nobody can defeat his "Darkness".

===The Player Killer laughs that night falls quickly on the island, but there is no sleep for Duelists; while they lie in their beds with their guards down, his darkness creeps in and destroys them, like Mai. Mai thinks that having lost, she is now disqualified and will have to leave the island, ending her dream of Darkness Turn===Dueling Yugi. However Dark Yugi tells Mai not to worry as he will win her Star Chips back. Mai is surprised and wonders why Yugi would do that for her.

Dark Yugi tells the Player Killer that attacking under the cover of the night is the act of a coward. He does not consider the Player Killer to be a Duelist, but sees him as a thief. He Summon [[Face-down]] [[Attack Position]] monster duo vows to Castle teach him that a thief cannot take the life of Dark Illusion effect and attack [[Celtic Guardian]] with ita real Duelist. (Illegal Move)

===Yami [[File:D-022 Dark Yugi VS Player Killer of Darkness.jpg|thumb|left|[[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]], with the wire around his neck.]]Dark Yugi says that he will bet all six of his Star Chips and the Player Killer will bet the eight he took from Mai. To make up for the difference, he says that he will bet his life. The Player Killer likes the offer but is skeptical, so in lieu of a guarantee, he shoots a wire out of his [[Duel Glove]], which wraps around Dark Yugi's Turn=== neck. He laughs that some Duelists try to run out of fear, but that wire is used to make sure they cannot get away. He Summon says that if he wins, he will choke Dark Yugi to death and maybe twice to get his two Star Chips worth. This worries [[Winged DragonAnzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu]] and Mai asks how low the Player Killers can be. Dark Yugi is fine with the conditions, Guardian of but adds that the Fortress #1]] in Player Killer will have to face a [[Defense PositionPenalty Game]]if he loses.

===Anzu begs for Dark Yugi to win. Mai is no longer concerned about herself and thinks that Dark Yugi has to win. The Player Killer of Darkness Turn===comments on Dark Yugi having a crowd to cheer for him and says that he has a friend too; the darkness itself.

He [[File:D-022 Darkness spreading.jpg|thumb|right|"[[Castle of Dark Illusions (manga)|Castle of Dark Illusions]]" engulfs the field in darkness.]]The Player Killer of Darkness goes first and [[Summon another ]]s "[[Face-downCastle of Dark Illusions (manga)|Castle of Dark Illusions]] ". The castle hovers over the field and causes the Player Killer's side of the field to become engulfed in darkness, preventing Dark Yugi from seeing any of the Player Killer's cards and makes it difficult to even see the Player Killer. Mai warns Dark Yugi to watch out as the Darkness is what defeated her "[[Attack PositionHarpie]] monsters".

===Yami The Player Killer laughs that Dark Yugi's Turn===monsters do not get their [[Field Power Bonus|Field Power Source]] at night, but his dark cards get infinite strength. He urges Dark Yugi to play any card and says that the darkness will bury him.

He Change Not knowing what the Player Killer is planning, Dark Yugi decides to be cautious and Summons "[[Winged Dragon, Celtic Guardian (manga)|Celtic Guardian of the Fortress #1]] to " in [[Attack Defense Position|Defense Mode]], and Use it to [[Attack]] the Darkness. Duo to the Fiery Attack of [[Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1]], [[Panic|The Player Killer of Darkness]] Summons a card, which hides in the darkness. It [[Face-downattack]] monsters Revealed for Second, they are s and [[Baroxdestroy]] and s "Celtic Guardian" with its "[[Attack name|Dark ChimeraAbsolute]] (Illegal Move)" attack. Mai grits her teeth and comments that his technique is so dirty.

===The Player Killer Dark Yugi thinks to himself that the obvious way to get rid of Darkness Turn===the darkness is to remove the "Castle of Dark Illusions". However he does not have anything to break through its 2500 [[DEF]]. He thinks that there has to be a way to defeat it and plays "[[Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress (manga)|Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress]]" in Defense Mode.

He Attack and Destroy [[File:D-022 Fireball Barrage.jpg|thumb|left|"[[Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress #1|Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress]]" uses fireballs to light up the field.]]Rather than attacking, the Player Killer Summons another monster, which hides in the darkness. All that Dark Yugi can see are its gleaming eyes. Dark Yugi thinks that there might be a way to shine light on the situation. He is unsure if it will work, but thinks he must try. He switches "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress" to [[Attack Position|Attack Mode]] and has it attack into the darkness with one "Fireball Barrage". This briefly lights up the field giving him a glimpse of his Face-Down Monsters the Player Killer's monsters, "[[Barox (manga)|Barox]]" and "[[Dark Chimera (Illegal Movemanga)|Dark Chimera]]". Dark Yugi can light up the field for an instance, but cannot attack at the same time, the Player Killer explains. (Yami Dark Yugi LP = 1600)sees that he is right; he cannot aim at what he cannot see.

===Yami The Player Killer gets one of his monsters to attack and destroy "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress" with a "Dark Absolute" attack, dropping Dark Yugi's Turn===[[LP|Life Points]] to 1600. He says that Yugi is as good as dead, the darkness is his home and while he is in it, he is invincible. Dark Yugi laughs that the Player Killer may be happy to be in the darkness now, but doubts he would like to be in it forever. Even though the darkness covers the Player Killer's evil face, Dark Yugi says that he will have to see it again, when he shuts down his game. He smiles that he has found a way to beat the darkness.

He Draw Holding "[[Swords of Revealing Light (manga)|Swords of Revealing Light]]", Dark Yugi says that that card is the key and the Player Killer's life ends in five turns. He warns him to get ready as he will show him the true darkness he will wish he never knew.
