Chapter 754: Mecha vs. Sword Duel
Chapter 754: Mecha vs. Sword Duel
"You?"
Cark Dixon's expression changed abruptly.
As a Card Professor executive, he was naturally aware that the power contained within the precious Ancient Slate discovered by the International Fantasy Society had been stolen.
The previous investigation had already narrowed down the clues to a single person.
And that person was now standing before him.
"So you're called Melo, right?" Cark said, "As a thief, you're quite bold to show yourself in front of us. What do you want?"
"It's nothing. I just made some preparations earlier, and now it's about time to start the battle."
"Battle?"
Cark's voice turned grave.
"With the International Fantasy Society?"
"Today, I'm just here to say hello and..."
Melo chuckled lightly, and her cane transformed into the shape of a Duel Disk. Her deck was already loaded into the slot.
"After making adjustments to this deck, I haven't had the chance to test it out. Before facing truly troublesome opponents, I should at least have a decent punching bag to practice on."
"A punching bag?" Cark pushed up the frame of his glasses, "I don't know who you are, but no one dares to speak to me like that, the Mecha Professor."
He paused and then broke into a smile instead.
"Well, that's fine. Since you've delivered yourself to our doorstep, I, Cark, will take the credit for this. Who knows, Night Walk might even promote me to Professor General."
"Duel!" x2
[Cark, LP 4000]
[Melo, LP 4000]
"I'll go first, draw!"
Melo declared.
"Summon 'Sword Beast Archer' in attack mode!"
The first to appear was a Sword Beast of the Bird Beast tribe, but its form was that of a centaur, like the legendary Sagittarius constellation. A golden-haired warrior clad in armor drew his bow and aimed his arrow forward, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse.
[Sword Beast Archer, ATK 1400]
"I'll set a card and end my turn."
Cark scoffed, "So you're using the stolen deck right away? You're just another Card Thief. We at the International Fantasy Society have caught many like you."
"My turn, draw!"
Cark played a monster card first.
"Summon 'Mecha Force - Mechanical Skeleton'!"
An orange mechanical structure emerged from the summoned card and began to transform under the Duelist's command, assembling into a humanoid mechanical form.
[Mecha Force - Mechanical Skeleton, ATK 1800]
"When Mechanical Skeleton is successfully summoned, add one 'Mecha Force' card other than 'Mecha Force - Mechanical Skeleton' from your deck to your hand."
Cark's Duel Disk automatically searched, and he quickly drew the searched card.
"I add 'Mecha Force - Fortress' from my deck to my hand."
"Then, activate Fortress's effect! This card can be Special Summoned without Tributes by discarding monsters from your hand that total 8 or more Levels."
Cark discarded a card from his hand into the Graveyard.
"Discard the Level 8 'Mecha Force - Gigantamorph' to Special Summon 'Mecha Force - Fortress'!"
A heavy roar sounded as the mechanical parts assembled into a heavily armed fortress, armed to the teeth.
[Mecha Force - Fortress, ATK 2500]
"It's ultimately a stolen deck," Cark declared, "Let's see how much power you can unleash."
"Mecha Force - Fortress, attack 'Sword Beast Archer'!"
The fortress unleashed a barrage of attacks, with all its weapons firing simultaneously, creating a hail of missiles and cannon fire that bombarded the tiny Fish Beast.
"Then, I activate the set card," Melo said, "Trap Card 'Invincible Attack'!
This card can only be activated during the Battle Phase, and you can choose one of two effects:
"Select one monster on the field that cannot be destroyed in any form during this Battle Phase."
Or, "During this battle, all battle damage I receive becomes 0."
"A Defense Trap," Cark said, "Do you want to avoid damage?"
"No."
Melo smiled and pointed to the monster on her field.
"I want to protect 'Sword Beast - Archer' from battle destruction."
A transparent trap protection layer appeared in front of Archer, and the barrage of attacks all hit the barrier. The impact and explosions burst open, and flames swept over Melo.
【Melo, LP 4000→LP 2900】
Cark's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The Correct Version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar, the first to publish this novel.
Instead of choosing to directly exempt all damage, she still got hurt and protected the monster.
Is it to keep the monster for use as an offering in the next turn?
But his goal remains unchanged.
"The battle continues. I also have the attack of 'Mech Force - Mechanical Skeleton', 'Mech Force - Mechanical Skeleton' attacks 'Sword Beast - Archer'!"
The Mechanical Skeleton stepped forward, and its iron fist struck the Sword Beast. The centaur staggered back half a step but still managed to hold on with the support of the trap.
【Melo, LP 2900→ LP2500】
"Then, at the end of your Battle Phase." Melo said slowly, "The effect of 'Sword Beast - Archer', which has battled, is activated.
When this card returns to the Deck at the end of the Battle Phase in which it battled, send it to the Deck and Special Summon any 'Sword Beast' from your Deck except Archer."
Cark's eyes widened: "Is this your intention?"
Archer transformed into a beam of golden light and flew back into Melo's Deck, and another Sword Beast took its place, appearing on the field amidst a column of water.
"Special Summon 'Sword Beast - Fish Fighter'!"
【Sword Beast - Fish Fighter, ATK 800】
"Fish Fighter's effect: When this card is Special Summoned successfully using a 'Sword Beast's' effect, destroy one face-up monster on the field.
Destroy 'Mech Force - Fortress'."
Behind Fish Fighter, a pair of turbines spun at high speed, as if firing a high-pressure water cannon directly at the Mech Fortress. The massive steel fortress crackled with electricity, and with a loud boom, it quickly exploded into pieces.
"Playing this kind of calculation..." Cark hummed, "But at this moment, the effect of 'Mech Force - Gigantamorph' in my graveyard is also activated.
When this card is sent to the graveyard while a fortress is on my field, remove this card from play and Special Summon it from the graveyard."
"Come, Mech Force - Gigantamorph!"
The parts of the fortress left behind after the explosion were quickly absorbed into one place, as if reassembling and transforming on its own. The steel fortress transformed, growing metal limbs, retracting its tracks to the joints, and shouldering its cannon. It stood upright, taking on a human-like form.
【Mech Force - Gigantamorph, ATK 2600】
"Then, activate the effect of 'Mech Force - Mechanical Skeleton'!
Once per turn, this card can be equipped to a Machine-Type monster on the field or removed from the equipped monster to Special Summon it back to the field.
I choose to equip Mechanical Skeleton to 'Mech Force - Gigantamorph'!"
The robot transformed into an exoskeleton-like equipment, fitting snugly onto the outer frame of the steel giant.
"If the equipped monster is destroyed in battle or by an effect, it can be replaced by Mechanical Skeleton." Cark explained, "Then, cover three cards to the back row. My turn is over!"
