Chapter 769: A Future of Light
Chapter 769: A Future of Light
"My turn, draw!"
Tyrant drew a card and revealed it immediately.
"Magic Card 'Sky's Treasure'! Both players draw until they have six cards in their hand."
Decade drew along with him.
"Then, I activate the Magic Card 'Foolish Burial'!" Tyrant declared, "Send a monster from the deck to the graveyard.
I send 'Malevolent Hero Soulfiend' from my deck to the graveyard."
Tyrant displayed the searched card and sent it to the graveyard.
"Soulfiend... I see its fleeting image, and I understand," said Decade, "The Malevolent Version of Dark Knight?"
"Yes, just like how I'm stronger than you!" Tyrant proclaimed, "Just as I am stronger than you, the effect of the Malevolent Hero Soulfiend activates! Remove this card from play and Special Summon a Malevolent Hero from your hand or deck, excluding Soulfiend!"
I Special Summon 'Malevolent Hero Hellrider'!"
[Malevolent Hero Hellrider, ATK 2100]
"Hellrider's effect activates! When this card is Summoned or Special Summoned, add a 'Dark Synthesis' from your deck or graveyard to your hand."
Tyrant drew the magic card that returned from the graveyard.
"Return the Magic Card 'Dark Synthesis' from the graveyard to my hand."
"Now, I activate 'Dark Synthesis' again!" Tyrant commanded, "Send the 'Malevolent Hero Hellrider' on the field and 'Malevolent Hero Evilblade Demon' from my hand to the graveyard! Descend once more—
—Malevolent Hero Evilblade Demon!!!"
With another fusion, Hellrider and Evilblade Demon were crushed in the vortex, and the vast darkness transformed into a physical entity, becoming the strongest Demon Hero once again!
[Malevolent Hero Evilblade Demon, ATK 3000]
"You're back again," Decade murmured.
"Indeed, just like the darkness within you," Tyrant said, "Not only powerful, but no matter how many times, it will return, never to be eradicated!"
But this time, Decade didn't argue; he just looked at him.
Even his gaze no longer held the initial sharpness; instead, it revealed a hint of sympathy.
"It hasn't been easy for you all this time, has it?" he asked softly.
"Huh?" Tyrant was taken aback.
"Just now, when I endured the attack of Evilblade Demon, I seemed to remember a little," said Decade, "Our past lives, so much pain and betrayal, yet I had forgotten it all. You've shouldered all of this, haven't you? I can't imagine how you've become like this."
Tyrant pondered for a moment.
But soon, he regained his composure: "I don't understand what you're talking about, but my Duel will never be lenient!"
"The effect of Malevolent Hero Evilblade Demon activates! Destroy all opponent's monsters with lower ATK than this card!"
The dark wave of Evilblade Demon swept in again, and Earth New Universe Knight couldn't resist, vanishing in the darkness.
"But the Equip Magic 'Simple New Universe' effect activates! When Earth New Universe Knight leaves the field, Special Summon 'Elemental Hero New Universe Knight' from your hand, deck, or graveyard!"
A light descended from the distant stars, transforming once more into the figure of the New Universe Hero.
[Elemental Hero New Universe Knight, DEF 2000]
"Pointless struggle!" Tyrant declared coldly, "Malevolent Hero Evilblade Demon, attack the 'Elemental Hero New Universe Knight'!"
As Evilblade Demon leaped forward, Tyrant played another card from his hand.
"Quick-Play Magic 'Trap Accelerator'!" (Original Card)
He sent a card from his hand to the graveyard, revealing another card.
"Trap Accelerator allows you to send a card from your hand to the graveyard and directly activate a Trap Card!
"I activate 'Dust Cyclone'! During this turn, when your monster attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing damage equal to the difference between your monster's ATK and the opponent's DEF!"
[Malevolent Hero Evilblade Demon, ATK 3200]
【Elemental Hero·New Universe Knight, Defense 2000】
"Activating a Set Card, Trap Card, 'Hero Guardian'!" Decade declared, "When an opponent's monster attacks, this card can be activated. One monster on your side of the field with the name 'Hero' will not be destroyed by this battle!" (Original Card)
"However, battle damage will still be calculated," Tyrant added.
"That's right, but I also have the Continuous Magic 'Damage Reduction Zone'," Decade said, "As long as this card remains on the field, both of us will have our battle damage halved!"
Furthermore, 'Hero Guardian' has another effect. During the damage calculation step of this battle, banish one monster with the name 'Hero' from your Graveyard, and the battle damage I take will be halved again. Additionally, I can draw one card from my deck!"
Decade revealed a card from his Graveyard.
"I banish 'Elemental Hero Thunder Giant' from my Graveyard, halve the battle damage again, and draw a card!"
The defense of the Continuous Magic and Trap created a double-layered buffer shield in front of Decade, reducing the damage by half and then by half again, significantly diminishing the impact.
【Decade, LP 700 → LP 400】
"A persistent fellow," Tyrant remarked, "Then, set a card, and end your turn."
"Phew, that was close."
Decade sighed in relief, patting his chest.
"I almost didn't make it."

"Even so, your Life Points are like a flickering flame in the wind," Tyrant said coldly, "My Life Points are at 5400, and I have the strongest Malicious 'Malevolent Blade Demon' that cannot be defeated.
Even if you manage to survive for another turn, what can you possibly achieve?"
Decade paused for a moment.
Then he looked up at Tyrant.
"To be honest, when I came here and faced you, I was afraid. I feared confronting you, and I was angry about what you had done.
But now, those feelings aren't as intense anymore.
Now, I feel fortunate."
"What?" Tyrant furrowed his brows in confusion.
"I feel fortunate to have met such a reliable partner in this life," Decade said softly, "I've encountered countless troubles and formidable foes. Every time, he was always there, ready to step up and help.
He's the most dependable person I've ever met. He can resolve any situation and turn the most challenging circumstances around.
Sometimes, I even feel a bit superfluous, ahaha."
Decade scratched his head awkwardly.
Tyrant remained silent, his face stern.
Are you a Versaillais?
Do such teammates really exist?
Impossible, it's science fiction, it has to be.
Tyrant refused to believe.
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'm just thinking that perhaps you're not as lucky as me, or maybe you've shouldered all the darkness on my behalf.
Perhaps it's because of you that I've been able to grow into who I am today."
Tyrant's usually unperturbed golden eyes flickered slightly.
But only for a moment.
"It doesn't matter what you say," Tyrant said coldly, "Soon, your existence will vanish, and I will become stronger than ever, truly complete!"
Decade shook his head with a smile.
"No, I won't fall. I've said it before; your power is hollow, it's power that isn't needed," he replied, "But I've found what I want to protect, the reason I want to fight for. And more importantly, the partners who await my return.
However, I promise you this. Even if I can't do it today, one day, eventually, I will show you that future filled with light, a future worth fighting for."
