Chapter 787: The Fury of a Mortal
Chapter 787: The Fury of a Mortal
The Light Guarding Sword of Soul Sealing!
"A Trap Card activated from the Graveyard?" Bercas was slightly taken aback.
A red Trap Card appeared above the field, slowly dissipating as a shadow. The golden Guarding Sword of Soul Sealing stood upright like a sealing formation, forming a shield of light, blocking all of Bercas' attacks for this turn.
"So that's how it is. It seems getting rid of your stubbornness won't be that easy after all. Well then, I'll set one more card face-down and end my turn."
Bercas regained his composure and smirked disdainfully.
"However, even so, your crisis hasn't been resolved yet.
Your Red-Eyes has become nourishment for my Sacrifice Demon, and the situation is completely in my favor. In the end, you're just an ordinary mortal."
"Shut up!" Akane interrupted impatiently.
"Yes, perhaps that's true. I'm just a mortal."
"So what if I'm a mortal?"
"Even as a mortal, I've fought my way here. Whether it's a three-thousand-year-old priest, a god, or a demon, they're all the same to me."
"Will I lose? Of course, I've lost so many times I've lost count." Akane spoke with conviction, even sounding a bit proud, "But why can't I lose?"
"I'm just an ordinary person, so it's natural that I'll lose and fall. Even the dice, which they say I rely on the most, have betrayed me at times."
"But so what? If I fall, I'll just get back up, stand tall and proud before those cheaters, and say, 'Let's go again!'"
Akane pounded his chest vigorously and then looked at Bercas expressionlessly.
"You, you're not the real Bercas. Or perhaps you've been brainwashed too."
"What did you say?" Bercas' face turned angry.
"Since you're the president of Bercas Corporation, you should understand this. When I was in your Duel Kingdom, I was just a novice who knew nothing, but even so, I fought against various gods and demons and made my way to where I am now."
"You're right, I'm just a mortal. And as you said, many people see me as a mere follower of the game, and it's possible that I'll never catch up to his pace in this lifetime.
But! I haven't given up on chasing him because I promised to become a true Duelist!"
Bercas: "..."
"My turn, draw!"
Akane drew a card and then held it high, claiming it to be one of the three great Spell Cards of the DM world, the Gambler's Spell Card, exclusive to him.
"Spell Card, 'Destiny Spell Card'!"
"Roll a die, then remove from play the top cards of your Deck, up to the number rolled. Then draw the same number of cards!" (Original Card)
"In the end, you're still relying on the dice, no matter how good it sounds." Bercas commented.
"Shut up! I'm using the dice, so what? At least I'm not afraid of failure, no matter what number appears, I won't be afraid of my fate!"
As he spoke, the magic took effect, and the die rolled onto the ground.
The number 5.
The Gambler's Spell Card was as reliable as ever.
"Excellent, remove the top five cards from my Deck," Akane declared, "and then draw five new cards!"
He immediately placed one of the drawn cards into the Duel Disk.
"Spell Card, 'Magic Annihilation', can destroy any Spell Card on the field."
"A Spell Card?" Bercas furrowed his brows and looked at the Sacrifice Demon on his field, "Could it be...?"
"That's right, although my Red-Eyes has been absorbed, as an Equip Card on the field, it's considered a Spell Card." Akane explained, "I'm going to destroy the Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
The green light of Magic Annihilation shot out and hit the absorbed Red-Eyes on Bercas' field. The Red-Eyes Black Dragon was destroyed and disappeared.
Bercas chuckled lightly.
"You're not holding back even against your own Red-Eyes."
"Wait, I'll make you understand the irreplaceable bond between me and the Red-Eyes." Akane said, "I activate the Spell Card, 'Silent Deceased', revive a Normal Monster from the Graveyard in face-down Defense Position.
I Special Summon 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' from the Graveyard! Come back, Red-Eyes!"
[Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Defense 2000]
"At this point, what's the use of summoning the Red-Eyes?" Bercas asked, "Not to mention it's no match for the Sacrifice Demon, and you've forgotten that any damage inflicted on the Sacrifice Demon will be taken by you!"
"I know, so shut up!"
"I activate the Spell Card, 'Fusion'!
Fuse the 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' on the field with the 'Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon' in my hand—
—Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon, descend!"
As if the barriers of time and space were shaken, even Bercas' entire castle was rocked by the astonishing power. A scorching heat wave rushed in, and the erupting lava from the depths seemed to roar in anger, igniting even the very fabric of reality.
The dragon's body seemed to be a pure embodiment of flames, with fire dancing and swirling like living creatures, releasing a power that could incinerate all in its path. Its eyes shone like two burning crimson flames, exuding an aura of regal dominance.
Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon, Summon!
[Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon, Attack 3500]
"Yet another new Red-Eyes?"
Bercas felt the astonishing power emanating from this new Red-Eyes and couldn't help but tremble. However, he quickly regained his composure.
"An attack power of 3500, indeed a powerful monster. But it can't defeat the Sacrifice Demon."
"The effect of Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon!" Akane declared, "When this card is Fusion Summoned successfully, send one 'Red-Eyes' from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the original Attack of that monster!"
Bercas was taken aback.
In the end, it's a direct attack on LP!
【Bercas, LP 400】
In other words, as long as the Meteor Black Dragon's chosen target is any Red-Eyes with an attack power of 800 or more, this strike will be a decisive blow!
"I'll send the 'True Red Eye Black Iron Dragon' from my deck to the graveyard!" City Within declared, "The Black Iron Dragon's attack power is 2800, so it will deal 1400 points of damage to Bercas, giving you half of its attack power!"
The Maleficent Star Dragon soared high, and the shadow of the Black Iron Dragon vanished in an instant, merging into the burning fire dragon and surging into the Meteor Black Dragon's body, as if a raging inferno was about to strike Bercas!
But Bercas had a backup plan!
"Activate the trap, 'Energy Absorption Plate'!"
A massive absorption plate appeared behind Bercas. The raging fire dragon crashed into the absorption plate, turning into a warm current and flowing into Bercas' body!
"The Energy Absorption Plate can nullify the effect damage of the opponent's cards and convert it into life point recovery!"
【Bercas, LP 400 → LP 1800】
"Nani!"
City Within was shocked again.
"Damn you, Bercas, you actually blocked that?"
"Puhahaha... Hahahaha—"
Bercas couldn't stop laughing.
Read the Perfect Edition at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar's first release of this novel.
"Indeed, as a mere mortal, you've done remarkably well, City Within. I can see that you've given it your all. And I must admit, you've surpassed yourself time and again."
But he paused and chuckled coldly.
"However, this is as far as you can go. Your limit seems to have been reached here, and next turn, your Meteor Black Dragon will also be absorbed by the Sacrificial Demon.
Although the process is more complicated, the outcome will not change."
"So what?" City Within asked, giving him a defiant look.
"What?"
"The power of the Meteor Black Dragon is not limited to this extent." City Within stated, "Even if I'm just a mortal, I will never back down, nor will I ever run from a fight.
What a man should do is charge forward with unwavering courage and flatten everything in his path!
Battle!"
City Within declared the battle with great enthusiasm.
"Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon, attack the 'Sacrificial Demon'!"
"Futile resistance!" Bercas shouted, "Then, Sacrificial Demon, use the 'Demon Tyrant · Malevolent Devil Dragon' to block the attack!"
The Maleficent Star Dragon and the Demon Tyrant · Malevolent Devil Dragon, City Within's two trump cards, clashed in different arenas, each launching their ultimate techniques for a decisive strike!
Bercas smiled coldly.
Using the Demon Tyrant · Malevolent Devil Dragon as a sacrificial pawn to block the attack, and then absorbing the Meteor Black Dragon to finish the kill next turn.
He had won.
As for the man's courageous attack...
Bercas sneered.
It's just a show of bravado, possibly just to make his defeat seem more impressive.
"Activate the set card!" City Within declared, "Trap Card 'Unification'! Choose one monster on the opponent's field, and all other monsters on the field will have their attack power changed to the same value as the chosen monster's attack power! I choose the Sacrificial Demon, making the 'Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon's' attack power equal to that of the Sacrificial Demon!"
【Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon, Attack Power 3500 → Attack Power 3200】
Bercas: "???"
What does this mean? Self-sabotage?
He was stunned for two seconds, pondering the significance of City Within's actions.
Could it be... to avoid damage?
But even if the Sacrificial Demon reflects the damage back to him, it's only a mere 300 points of damage. Is it worth it?
"Indeed, regardless of whether your attack power is higher or lower than the Sacrificial Demon's, you must endure the battle damage. This is the only way to avoid damage."
Bercas asked, puzzled.
"But this way, your 'Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon' will also be destroyed in battle.
And I will use the 'Demon Tyrant · Malevolent Devil Dragon' to replace the Sacrificial Demon's destruction!"
Indeed, City Within's two trump cards clashed on the field, facing off against each other, and the impact and molten lava engulfed both the Maleficent Star Dragon and the Demon Tyrant · Malevolent Devil Dragon, destroying them both.
"And my Sacrificial Demon remains unscathed." Bercas smirked, "Have you already given up the struggle and chosen to give your monster a dignified exit?
Hmm... I can't quite understand that.
Huh??"
His tone suddenly changed as he spoke, and his eyes widened in shock.
Because he saw on City Within's field, that majestic figure, proud dragon head, and dark red eyes that seemed to be filled with anger, as if lava was flowing within them.
That is...
Red-Eyes Black Dragon?!
【Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Attack Power 2400】
"This is what I wanted, a mutual destruction." City Within said, "The other effect of the Maleficent Star Dragon - Meteor Black Dragon is that when this card is sent from the monster zone to the graveyard, a normal monster from the graveyard can be special summoned!"
"Nani (What did you say)!"
Bercas' face instantly turned pale.
How is this possible?
This guy, just a mortal,
Has he truly surpassed his own Duel?
【Sacrificial Demon, Attack Power 0】
"Now, the Sacrificial Demon has lost its equipment, lost its attack power, and there's no monster to take its place in the destruction or to bear the damage!"
City Within shouted.
"Let this guy see the fury of our mortal bones!
Black Flame Bullet!!!"
The Red-Eyes Black Dragon roared, spewing black flames from its mouth, transforming into a spiraling burning black flame bullet!
【Bercas, LP 400 → LP 0】
