"Attack power 9000?"
Rafael waved his hand: "That's no use! Open the face-down card, Trap Card! [Gravity Release]!"
[Guardian Desceth, Attack 5000 → Defense 2000]
"Change the battle flags of all face-up monsters on the field!"
[Five Emperor Dragons, Attack 9000 → Defense 5000]
[Tiger Dragon, Attack 2400 → Defense 1800]
[Giant Dragon. Shine, Attack 2200 → Defense 2800]
"That makes it impossible to attack!"
"And it's not over yet!"
Rafael clicked the Duel Disk, and another face-down card at his feet was also revealed:
"Next, activate another face-down card! A trap card, 【Death End of Hunting Souls】(original card)!"
"Change the battle position of one of my monsters and destroy all Defense Position monsters on your opponent's field!"
[Guardian Desceth, Defense 2000 → Attack 5000]
It swung its scythe from a distance, and all the monsters in the Kagura Field had their souls hunted, exploding and shattering.
Kagura raised her arm to shield herself from the aftershocks, and clapped her hands in a mock manner: "Not bad, not bad, you're really amazing. You're quite the entertainer yourself."
"Not only did it defend against a fatal blow, it also destroyed all the monsters on my field, making it seem like I was about to lose."
Seeing that Rafael had no intention of replying, Kagura sighed in disbelief, "He really has no sense of humor."
"Then, I'll activate the effect of [Black Hole Dragon] in my graveyard."
Kagura snapped her fingers: "This card can be Special Summoned if it is in your hand or Graveyard and a monster on the field is destroyed by the effect of a card that does not target you."
"Come on, [Black Hole Dragon]!"
The gaps in the body of the mechanical dragon, whose lower body was hidden in dark matter, shimmered with light, and the atomic furnace on its chest slowly rotated, letting out a roar.
[Black Hole Dragon, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Dragon Type, Defense 2000, Effect Monster]
Rafael frowned: "When was this card sent to the graveyard—Masaka, it's [Power Removal]?"
"Is that right?"
Kagura snapped her fingers again: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have had any other chance."
"Then activate the effect of the card 'Overflowing Dragon' in your hand. You can activate this effect when a monster on your field is destroyed by a card effect. Special Summon this card from your hand."
"Come on! [Overflowing Dragon]!"
A small yellow dragon appeared, carrying itself with six sharp spikes on its back, burning with flames, looking like a nobody.
[Overflowing Dragon, Level 1, DARK, Dragon, DEF 0, Effect Monster]
"If two or more monsters are destroyed by a card effect, you may also summon an Overflow Token on your field."
A small dragon, resembling the "Overflowing Dragon" but made of flames, appears.
[Overflowing Derivative, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Defense 0, Derivative]
"Now we move on to Main Phase Two. This turn, I haven't performed a Normal Summon yet. I'll Tribute these two monsters to Tribute Summon!"
"Come on! [Giant Fang Dragon]!"
A gigantic Yinglong, several times larger than a mountain and with horns, appeared. This dragon seemed to be the king of a certain region, exuding an aura of dominance.
[Giant Fang Dragon, Level 8, Earth-type, Dragon-type, Defense 2400, Effect Monster.]
"When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, target up to 2 other cards on the field. Destroy those cards, and this card gains 600 ATK for each card destroyed!"
"I choose to destroy your backline cards and the equipment of [Guardian Desceth]!"
Rafiru raised an eyebrow: "Then open the face-down card, the trap card, [Sixth Sense]!"
"Declare two numbers in the range of 1 to 6. Roll the dice once. If the number rolled is the declared number, you draw the same number of cards."
"If you guess incorrectly, roll the number of cards from the dice above your deck and send them to the graveyard!"
"I declare five and six!"
The dice appeared in Kagura's hand, and she casually tossed them aside.
"It's five! I won! Therefore, I draw five cards from my deck!"
Rafael finished his spree, and the Grim Reaper, who was holding a scythe, suddenly shattered his weapon. He touched his empty hand in confusion, and his strength rapidly diminished.
[Guardian Desceth, Attack Power 5000 → 2500]
[Giant Fang Dragon, Attack Power 1400 → Attack Power 2600]
"The attack power increase effect of 【Guardian Deseth】is ultimately just an effect of the equipment."
Kagura chuckled: "Once it loses its equipment, it's just an ordinary monster with destruction resistance."
"Like you, Rafael, without Doma, you might just be an ordinary, excellent duelist."
Rafiru sensed that the other party's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but he had no time to speculate. The opponent in this duel was too powerful, and he had to fight with all his might.
"Alright, I'll set two cards face down. Turn over."
Kagura took out two cards, placed them face down, and then continued:
"Then I activate the effect of [Black Hole Dragon]. At the end of the turn this card is Special Summoned, add one [Black Hole] from your Deck to your hand."
He drew the [Black Hole] card from his deck and then made a casual gesture.
Rafael: "My turn, draw a card!"
Two more cards were obtained. Rafael looked at the cards he had drawn with a determined gaze.
"I activate the Spell Card, [Magic Regeneration]!"
"Discard two Spell Cards and add one Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand!"
"I discard the [Compensation Card] and the [Chivalrous Spirit], and retrieve the [Death's Scythe - Soul Severer]!"
Rafael sent two cards into the graveyard, and the unique equipment of [Guardian Desceth] popped out.
"Then there's the effect of [Compensation Card]: When I discard a card from my hand to the graveyard, I draw two cards!"
Two more cards were added to his hand. Rafiru, holding eight cards, continued:
"I equip [Death's Scythe - Soulbreaker] to [Guardian Desceth]! Its attack power increases by 500 times the number of monsters in the Graveyard!"
[Guardian - Desceth, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 5000]
"Oh? You're back so soon? I knew it wasn't so easy to stop a duelist of your caliber."
Rafael skillfully ignored Kagura's trash talk and drew a card:
"Next, activate the Spell Card, [Obey] (Original Card)!"
"During the battle phase, when a monster with low attack power battles a monster with high attack power, it must switch to attack mode to accept the attack!"
"Entering battle phase!"
Rafiru waved his hand and gave the order:
"[Guardian Desces], attack [Giant Fang Dragon]!"
"A Rondo of Death!"
The kilometer-level dragon, which was circling and defending, passively opened its body.
[Giant Fang Dragon, Defense 2400 → Attack 2600]
Even among dragons at the kilometer level, the difference in size is enormous, but in the game Duel Monsters, the difference in attack power is even more precipitous.
Rafiru stared intently at him.
If this attack succeeds, the black-robed man's health will be instantly depleted.
But if it were really possible to defeat them like that...
"Open the cover card, [half damaged, not broken]."
A card opened at Kagura's feet:
"Target 1 monster on the field. This turn, that monster cannot be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage it takes to you when it battles is halved."
"I choose the [Giant Fang Dragon]!"
A shield was placed in front of the dragon, and the Grim Reaper's scythe slashed down, but the shield blocked part of its power.
[Kagura Kiryu, LP1900→LP700]
It wasn't that simple after all.
Rafael draws a card: "I set one card face down, end of turn!"
"My turn, draw a card!"
Kagura was drawing cards when she suddenly snapped her fingers and, as if struck by a sudden illness, nimbly jumped onto the roof of a nearby car.
He gave a perfunctory bow: "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to my entertaining duel where I'll bring you laughter!"
Kagura tried her best to imitate Tomato's disgusting and baffling behavior:
"My opponent has a monster with 5000 ATK that cannot be destroyed as long as I have a card in my hand, while I only have monsters with 2600 and 3000 ATK on my field!"
"The opponent's LP is 600, and ours is 700, which is almost the same, but it is a huge disadvantage for us!"
"Let Rafael witness the amazing reversal magic, my own creation, the Hand Disappearance Magic!"
Rafiru was instinctively wary; his hand had disappeared, which didn't sound like a good thing.
"First up is the spell card, [Pot of Greed], draw two cards!"
He drew two cards, then immediately played one:
"Well then, first up is the latecomer to this duel! Quick-Play Spell [Whirlwind], destroy your face-down cards!"
A whirlwind arose and shattered Rafiru's only cover card on the field.
"The Magic Cylinder? What a treacherous tactic!"
Kagura chuckled and drew another card:
"Next, I will normally summon my special guest from my Dragon deck, [Temple Guardian]!"
Two large, malevolent hands firmly guarded the temple gates, and the complex, ancient symbols exuded an ominous aura.
Temple Guardian, Level 4, Earth Attribute, Demon Race, Defense 1900, Effect Monster.
Hmm? You're asking why there are demons in the dragon deck? Why not use a relative from the [Demon Dragon] deck?
"Next, I'll summon the [Reincarnation Dragon]!"
The purple dragon, with small wings on its body and its hands clasped together, was curled up like an insect, which was unsettling.
【Reincarnation Dragon, Level 1, Light Attribute, Dragon Type, Attack 0, Effect Monster】
"When a Dragon-Type monster is Tribute Summoned, this card can be Tributed as 2 of them."
Kagura held up one of her cards:
"I activate the effect of the Continuous Trap [Blood Compensation], paying 500 LP to Superior Summon [Reincarnation Dragon] as two Tributes!"
"Come forth! [Light Piercer: Baharutia]!"
The giant rainbow-colored dragon, hundreds of meters tall, burst forth with golden light from its pupils, like a god descending to earth. But unfortunately, its enormous size was of little use in the Duel Monsters genre.
【Light Piercer. Baharutia, Level 7, Light Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2000, Effect Monster】
Kagura waved her hand and said:
"At this moment, I activate this card's effect: when this card is Normal or Special Summoned from the hand, your opponent banishes cards from their Deck one number of times equal to the number of cards in their hand, face down!"
"After that, the opponent returned all the cards in their hand to the deck, and added the cards that were banished by this effect to their hand."
As Kagura spoke, she snapped her fingers:
"Next is the effect of [Temple Guardian]: While this card is face-up on the field, your opponent cannot draw cards outside of their Draw Phase!"
Rafael was startled, cold sweat beading on his forehead: "So that means—"
"That's right!"
Kagura said in an innocent tone, "Not only do you have to banish the top five cards of your deck face down, but you also have to return all the cards in your hand to the deck!"
Rafiru held the cards in his hand, his expression somewhat blank.
The card effects have begun to resolve; the top five cards of his deck automatically self-destruct, and at the same time, the five cards in his hand automatically return to the deck.
True. Hand Disappearance Technique.
Rafiru:
Is that what it means?
Kagura holds up a card: "Spell Card, [Black Hole], destroy all monsters on the field."
Then he pointed to [Black Hole Dragon]: "This card cannot be destroyed by effects as long as it is on the field."
At this moment, since there were no cards left in hand, the "Destroy" effect of "Guardian Desceth" disappeared, and all monsters fell into the black hole.
Except for the "Black Hole Dragon," which is born to live in black holes, all other monsters were torn apart and completely disappeared under the infinite weight.
"it's over."
Kagura pointed at Rafael: "[Black Hole Dragon], attack directly!"
The primordial core in his chest condensed a world-destroying beam of light. Rafiru's expression changed several times before he finally slowly closed his eyes.
His expression gradually calmed down: "A magnificent duel."
[Rafiru, LP600→LP0]
The black and white light struck his body, sending Rafiru flying several meters before he peacefully fell to the ground.
He chose to accept his death peacefully.
He closed his eyes and waited a few seconds before slowly opening them, looking at his body with a puzzled expression.
Huh? How come he's still alive?
It took him quite a while to realize something.
It seems they're not gambling with their lives this time.
Previously, his [Orichalcos Barrier] was destroyed by a Heart Bomb, and he forgot about it afterwards.
This isn't a dark duel either, so—he doesn't have to die?
Rafael's expression gradually became strange. Why did he subconsciously feel that he was going to die?
After a moment's thought, he realized that the enemy was both too irrational and too powerful.
He was almost completely dominated throughout the game, and subconsciously felt a sense of despair, which led to this illusion.
The blond giant slowly got up, trying to stand but unable to, though it had no effect on him whatsoever.
The sheer amount of realism created by the simple elven energy caused some damage to his body.
He knelt on one knee, watching the black-robed man's robes flutter in the wind behind him, and suddenly realized something:
"Thank you for your mercy, senior."
If Gan Fang wanted my life, it would be as simple as lifting a finger; this guy might just be some ancient demon who appeared out of nowhere.
Just like their leader, Dazi, even the previous battles with Muto Yugi hadn't been able to put him under such pressure.
"Hmm, keep it low-key, keep it low-key."
Kagura forced a smile and slowly waved her hand.
He walked past Rafiru with his hands in his pockets, seemingly wanting to leave.
In that instant, he seemed to remember something.
"Fine, I'll tell you since you've put in so much effort."
Under Rafael's tense gaze, Kagura spoke:
"Back then, the deaths of your family members were not simply accidents, but rather acts of malice."
"And the one who did it—was Darz."
