Mirage Swordsman, LV 8, Fire Attribute, Warrior-Type, Attack Power 2800.
"Continue the battle!"
"Mirage Swordsman, attack Armed Dragon LV10!"
"Phantom·Fighting Flame Sword!"
The presence of Mirage was continually appearing around the Armed Dragon, although it knew that these mirages were mere illusions, it kept looking around.
And at this moment, Mirage had set its sights on the attack location!
That was the "wound" left by the Dragon Knight and El Shaddoll Grysta attacking together for him!
"Mirage Swordsman's effect, at the start of the damage step when this card battles an opponent's monster, destroy both monsters!"
The Mirage finally struck Armed Dragon's jaw with its sword, but at the same time, Armed Dragon realized it was truly the real one, thus it grabbed it and unleashed a thunderstorm!
Bam!
The powerful explosion even dimmed the daylight.
"Then... I activate a Trap Card!"
"What kind of trap for this situation?" Tenjo Hikari was a bit puzzled, wondering what kind of trap it was.
"Underhanded Deal!"
The card image depicted two excellent thieves passing each other and taking something from each other...
"Activate when cards are simultaneously destroyed in battle or by effects on both player's fields. Both players draw two cards each!"
"Ha, replenishing hand cards again? Well, since your Ojamagic has already been used."
Tenjo Hikari looked at his hand cards.
Vampire Fraulein, not a bad draw.
"Set one card, end turn!"
"Ha... ha..." Manjome wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He felt the ground beneath him seemed to be trembling, not knowing if it was due to excitement or what, his heart was racing.
Skeletal price, right?
He looked at his hand.
He is a Duelist who puts many drawing support cards in his Deck, as he seldom achieves what Yuki Judai can do.
"Activate Spell Card Tri-Wight Zone! Target three LV 2 or lower Normal Monsters in your Graveyard and Special Summon them!"
"Then I'll chain your activation with Continuous Trap Card, Shaddoll Schism, banishing El Shaddoll Grysta and El Shaddoll Winda from the Graveyard!"
"Come forth, Winda!"
El Shaddoll Winda, LV 5, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, Attack Power 2200.
Purple Puppet Strings once again tangled around Manjome's Duel Disk, he did not fear, letting the Puppet Strings bind the Duel Disk.
Subsequently, three uniquely shaped Ojama Monsters stood resolutely, guarding Manjome.
Although they were monsters with only ATK 0, Manjome trusted and utilized them so flexibly, they wanted even more to help Manjome.
"Brother Hikari is so strong," "Why does he keep persisting," "Can you guys hold on?"
Ojama Yellow, LV 2, Light Attribute, Beast-Type, Attack Power 0.
Ojama Green, LV 2, Light Attribute, Beast-Type, Attack Power 0.
Ojama Black, LV 2, Light Attribute, Beast-Type, Attack Power 0.
"Activate Spell Card, Skeletal Price— send face-up monsters that are not Effect Monsters to the Graveyard. Draw two cards!"
He chose Ojama Yellow.
"Cheer up, little brother!" "No worries, big brothers!"
Ojamamas cheered each other.
"Draw!"
Manjome drew forcefully.
Then he stood frozen.
It was...
He looked at the card in his hand, his thoughts drifting for a long time.
This was the Spirit he encountered since childhood, the key card to his series of victories in the elementary school tournaments, and also the Soul Card he buried at the academy after losing to Yuki Judai.
After returning to Duel Academy, he secretly dug it up, solemnly apologized, and re-added it to his Deck, then mingled with friends, growing, reaching the present—
Indeed!
How can I be without you!
He grinned.
Both he and Tenjo Hikari were at their limits, and drawing it at this moment was perfect timing!
"First, activate Quick-Play Spell Card, Mystical Space Typhoon, destroy your Shaddoll Schism!"
A breeze blew through and destroyed the Schism.
"Then release the two monsters on the field as sacrifices!"
"Goodbye!" "It's the last!"
"Tribute Summon!"
The explosion caused some darkness in the sky suddenly split, like a knife, into two parts - one white, emitting light, and the other turned black, calmly resting there.
"Light and Darkness Dragon!"
"Roar!!"
The absolute dragon half white and half black, shook its evil but sacred wings slowly descending.
Light and Darkness Dragon, LV 8, Light Attribute, Attack Power 2800.
"It's actually Light and Darkness Dragon?" Caesar's complexion immediately became grim.
"At the final moment, draw the ace of aces!"
"We're done for. Tenjo's cards are mainly Polymerization, in this state it'll likely be defeated by Light and Darkness Dragon completely!"
"Battle, attack Winda with Light and Darkness Dragon!"
The dragon spread its wings, flying toward Winda.
Tenjo Hikari glanced at the cards in hand, slightly furrowed, then raised a card in his left hand:
"Wait, I activate the effect of Vampire Fraulein in my hand card!"
"It's useless! The effect of Light and Darkness Dragon makes the activation of Effect Monsters' effects, Spell, and Trap Cards invalid as long as this card is face-up on the field!"
"Each time this effect negates a card's effect, this card's ATK and DEF decrease by 500!"
Light and Darkness Dragon, ATK: 2800→2300.
Boom!
Winda disappeared again.
Tenjo Hikari LP: 2200→2100.
"Even with reduced attack, it's still higher than Winda's!"
"This is bad news."
Tenjo Hikari was not in a hurry, pointing to the Graveyard: "Winda's effect—"
