Chapter 792: Falling into Darkness
Chapter 792: Falling into Darkness
"The strongest White Knight? Oh, so it's some powerful guy!"
Yugo's eyes lit up with anticipation.
But when Zetsu heard this, he felt a surge of displeasure.
What does that mean? Looking down on me? Thinking that my White Knight's ace isn't something to be feared?
He hummed to himself.
Now, he would show this ignorant kid who's boss.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Covetous Flask', drawing two cards from my Deck."
Zetsu drew two cards and then contemplated for a moment.
"Next, I activate the Spell Card 'Notebook Annihilation'. Both players discard their entire hands, and then draw two cards from their Decks."
After drawing new cards, Zetsu smirked.
As expected, it's here.
"First, I activate the Spell Card 'Great Storm'!" Zetsu shouted, "All Spell and Trap Cards in both players' backrows are destroyed. No matter what your Set cards are, they will disappear!"
A black storm swept up, and Yugo instinctively raised his arm to block it. The Set cards in the backrow were swept up in the whirlwind, crushed into powder.
"It's a pity that the card you destroyed was the Trap Card 'Fake Marker'," Yugo smiled, "When this card is destroyed by an opponent's Spell effect, I draw two cards from my Deck." (Original Card)
Yugo drew two cards.
"It's a shame that one of your Set cards was destroyed as well," Zetsu hummed.
"Don't worry about me. The card I destroyed also has its uses. I destroyed this one."
He held up the Trap Card that had already been destroyed and removed from play.
"Trap Card 'Seal Gate'!"
The Trap Card appeared on the field, and its card art was a complete, pure white, with nothing else.
"When this card is sent to the Graveyard, remove from play one 'White Knight Corps Swordsman', 'White Knight Corps Musketeer', and 'White Knight Corps Guardian' from your Graveyard!
The strongest White Knight, 'White Knight Lord', Special Summon from your Deck!"
"Oh, so that's how you summon the strongest monster!" Yugo exclaimed, his face filled with excitement. "In other words, the Guardian and Musketeer that were discarded by Notebook Annihilation..."
"That's right. I discarded the other Guardian and Musketeer, so the materials are complete.
Remove from play one 'White Knight Corps Guardian', 'White Knight Corps Musketeer', and 'White Knight Corps Swordsman' from your Graveyard, appear now—
—White Knight Lord!!!"
An astonishing white light burst forth from the Trap, as if a sealed gate was shattered by the light. The Lord in white armor emerged with immense authority, as if the entire domain was momentarily dominated by the white light.
[White Knight Lord, ATK 2000]
"This is the ace," Yugo rubbed his hands, "It does seem powerful."
"And the Lord's Summon is a Special Summon. This turn, I haven't performed a Normal Summon yet," Zetsu explained, "I'll use the last 'White Knight Corps Swordsman' as a Tribute, and perform an Advanced Summon!
A dragon driven by lightning floats in the air, now appear—
—Lightning Tail Dragon, Summon!"
Blue lightning gathered, forging the dragon's body with electric light, as it descended upon his field with dominance.
[Lightning Tail Dragon, ATK 2500]
"And with that, the last 'White Knight Corps Swordsman' was sent to the Graveyard," Zetsu said coldly.
"In my Graveyard, there are two 'White Knight Corps Swordsmen', each of which increases the ATK of all monsters on the field with 'White Knight Corps' in their names by 300!"
[White Knight Lord, ATK 2000 → ATK 2600]
"Your backrow defense has been dismantled, and here the Dark Hero will be destroyed!" Zetsu shouted, "White Knight Lord, attack 'Malevolent Hero·Thunder Golem'!"
The Lord slashed with its blade, and the large steel body of the Thunder Golem was torn open, with black lightning crackling and shattering it.
[Yugo, LP 4000 → LP 3800]
"Additionally, for each monster destroyed by White Knight Lord's battle, inflict 300 damage to your opponent!"
[Yugo, LP 3800 → LP 3500]
"And now, Lightning Tail Dragon!" Zetsu continued, "Direct Attack!"
The blue dragon unleashed a barrage of lightning, descending from the sky and striking Yugo's field, leaving behind black smoke and scorched earth.
[Yugo, LP 3500 → LP 1000]
"I Set a card, and my turn is over," Zetsu smiled, "See, this is the Light Knight, White Knight Lord!
Darkness can never defeat light, and even the deepest night will eventually welcome the dawn. Your evil hero cannot stand against the light!"
Yugo: "."
Damn, the more he heard this, the more he felt like he was on the villain's side.
No, even before this, he sometimes felt like he was the villain.
When did this start? Yugo reflected.
I wonder if it has anything to do with being too close to Yugi...
Whatever, it doesn't matter. I'll just be the villain.
"My turn, draw!"
"I activate the Spell Card 'Adversity Scroll'. When there is a Special Summoned monster on your opponent's field and no monsters on your field, draw two cards from your Deck."
Yugo smiled, "The strongest White Knight, indeed powerful. And with this, I activate the Spell Card 'Fusion'!
'Elemental Hero Necro Darkman' and 'Elemental Hero Wildblade' from my hand, Fusion Summon—
—Elemental Hero Necro Shaman, in Defense Position!"
[Elemental Hero Necro Shaman, DEF 1800]
Zetsu hummed, "This level of hero, still in Defense Position."
But now, Yugo's Life Points were low, and choosing a defensive position was a necessary precaution.
"The effect of Necro Shaman, when this card is Special Summoned successfully, you can Special Summon one monster from your opponent's Graveyard to their field," Yugo explained, waving his finger, "Special Summon one monster from your opponent's Graveyard to their field.
"(Original Effect)
Choukyo: "!"
Nani?
Sacrifice my monster and then dig up my grave? How can you be so dark even without turning evil?
Decade: "I offer 'White Knight Lord' as a sacrifice!"
Necro Shaman attempts to cast a spell, and a transparent cyclone swirls beneath the Lord's feet.
But the Lord snorts disdainfully, stomping his foot on the ground. The cyclone instantly dissipates, leaving nothing behind.
"Huh?" Decade is taken aback.
"Hahaha—what a pity!" Choukyo laughs, "The effect of White Knight Lord! This card cannot be used as a sacrifice!"
"Huh?"
Decade is surprised.
Unable to be sacrificed... Isn't this the nemesis of the Lava Golem?
He immediately thinks that You Xuan will surely dislike this monster.
"You think you can get away with this?" Choukyo grins menacingly, "Do you think our great Cosmic Light can be taken down by your lowly tricks?"
"Fine. If this one can't be sacrificed, then I'll sacrifice 'Lightning Tail Dragon' instead." Decade says, "Special Summon the 'White Knight Swordsman' from your graveyard to the field."
[White Knight Swordsman, ATK 1200]
"Since you have one less Swordsman in your graveyard, the Lord's ATK decreases by 300!"
[White Knight Lord, ATK 2600 → 2300]

"Hmph, still better than your trash Heroes' ATK." Choukyo scoffs.
"If one move doesn't work, I'll switch to another." Decade says, "I activate the Spell Card 'Necro Sacrifice'!
Choose up to two monsters from your own graveyard and Special Summon them to your opponent's field. You can reduce the number of tributes required for an Advanced Summon by the number of Special Summoned monsters, and perform an Advanced Summon of an Advanced Monster from your opponent's hand!" (Original Card)
Decade reveals two monsters from his graveyard.
"I'll give you these two monsters.
The recently fused 'Elemental Hero Wildblade'.
And the 'Storm Summoner' discarded by your 'Notebook Annihilation' last turn!"
Choukyo: "?"
What is that thing?
Is this also an Elemental Hero?
"Of course, the Special Summon position is decided by the opponent." Decade adds.
Choukyo thinks for a moment.
"In Defense Position."
[Elemental Hero Wildblade, DEF 1600]
[Storm Summoner, DEF 2000]
"So I can reduce the number of tributes for an Advanced Summon by two and perform one." Decade says, "Here I go! I Summon this card—
—Elemental Hero Golden Blade!"
[Elemental Hero Golden Blade, ATK 2600]
Choukyo speaks in a deep voice, "Does its ATK exceed the Knight Lord's?"
Decade: "Elemental Hero Golden Blade, attack 'White Knight Lord'!"
Golden Blade's engine roars behind him, transforming into a golden afterimage as it charges forward, its arm slashing out.
At this moment, the Lord's ATK is only 2300, not a match for Golden Blade. But he doesn't dodge or block, instead raising his arm to meet the attack. A loud clanging sound echoes as he blocks it.
"Hahaha, what a pity!" Choukyo laughs, "The Lord is the strongest White Knight, an invincible monster in battle!
White Knight Lord cannot be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage it inflicts on us is also 0!"
"Huh?"
Decade nods.
"Alright, I'll Set a card and end my turn."
"Out of ideas?" Choukyo smirks, "It seems that even when Heroes fall, they're only this capable.
In that case, I'll be blunt and go all out!"
But before he can make any moves during his turn, Decade smiles confidently.
"No, the Heroes have already won. You just haven't realized it yet."
"What?" Choukyo is taken aback.
Decade snaps his fingers.
"I activate the Trap Card 'Golden Blade Hammer Strike'!
Sacrifice your own 'Elemental Hero Golden Blade' and destroy one of your opponent's monsters, inflicting damage equal to the original ATK of that monster!"
Choukyo frowns.
"Do you think you can defeat the Knight Lord with this move?"
"Not exactly."
Decade chuckles.
"The monster I'm going to destroy is... 'Storm Summoner'!"
"Huh?"
Choukyo looks at the Summoner, who was forcibly placed on his field by his opponent, and is momentarily stunned.
Destroy this thing?
"The effect of Storm Summoner." Decade explains, "When this card is destroyed by a card effect, its controller must take damage equal to its original ATK!"
Choukyo ponders for two seconds.
The effect of Golden Blade Hammer Strike destroys Storm Summoner and inflicts damage equal to its original ATK—2300.
Then, Storm Summoner's own effect activates when it is destroyed, dealing damage equal to its ATK—another 2300—to its controller.
The combined damage...
Choukyo: "!!!!!"
Nani?!
His eyes widen in shock as he stares at the Summoner.
The Summoner stands tall, like a proud Lava Golem, patting its chest as if to say, "Yes, I'm the mole."
No...
In that instant, Choukyo's mind floods with countless ways to curse.
Golden Blade, Golden Blade Hammer Strike...
When you say the Heroes have fallen, are you even half-serious?
"Go, Golden Blade, Golden Blade Hammer Strike!"
Golden Blade charges forward, carrying a hammer and transforming into a golden flash of lightning.
Boom—
[Choukyo Zetsu, LP 4000 → 0]
