Chapter 88: Attack and Defense between Aisha
The Xyz Summon of three 1-star monsters, a brand new form after three cards are stacked, a Rank 1 black card, appeared at Aisha's fingertips.
"A way to survive that awakens weak monsters with the light of Xyz! Rank 1, Xyz Summon - [Baby Tiger Dragon]!"
[Baby Tiger Dragon? Earth] [Dragon/Extreme/Effect ATK: 900 DEF: 900]
[1-star monster x 3.]
Using the dragon clan to fight against the dragon clan, the baby tiger dragon that jumped and materialized and appeared on the dark side Aisha's field can only be described as cute compared to the huge ancestor dragon ancient dragon.
Its combat power is also very "cute". With the Xyz Summon of three 1-star monsters, its attack power is only half of that of [Shinra no Himemiya] with the Xyz Summon of two monsters.
It can be seen that Aisha, who is on the dark side, has no intention of using the baby tiger dragon as a breakthrough in the battle.
After the Xyz Summon is successful, the [Baby Tiger Dragon] card is placed horizontally in defense mode, which is an Xyz Summon in defense mode.
"Then I will Normal Summon this turn, and I will Attack Summon - [Rose Lover]!"
[Rose Lover★Earth] [Plant Type ATK: 800 DEF: 800]
A beautiful girl monster with long flowing golden hair, she exudes an elegant temperament different from Morihime Memiya, and possesses an attack power of 1 points, which is impressive even among 800-star monsters.
"Activate the magic that retrieves the effect of [Shinra no Himemiya] this turn——[Inherited Power]!"
[Effect of the inherited power magic card: Send 1 monster you control to the Graveyard. Select 1 monster you control. Increase the ATK of the selected monster by the ATK of the card sent to the Graveyard before the End Phase of the activation turn.]
"Sacrifice yourself, and gather the will and strength of revenge into one!"
The virtual image of the monster was shattered, and on the dark side Aisha's field, [Shinra's Himemiya], which had already exhausted the excess materials, was ruthlessly sacrificed.
"As a succession of power, I will add 1800 attack points of [Senra no Himemiya] to the attack power of [Rose Lover]!"
[Rose Lover ATK: 800 → 2600]
Both are beautiful plant-type girl monsters. The combined attack power of Morihime Memiya and Rose Lover instantly adds a monster with higher attack power than the Demon Summon on the field of Dark Side Aisha.
"It has an attack power of 2600 points." The genuine Aisha Carlos waved his arms and pointed out in rebuttal: "The [Ancient Dragon] with an attack power of 2700 points is stronger!"
"Who said I'm going to fight you head-on?"
The summoning was completed, and the dark side of Aisha's ruddy mouth slightly raised. The cold smile that had never appeared on the pure face of the real Aisha looked extremely real at this moment.
Of course, this level is still a little lacking compared to the arrogance and complacency that You Ling usually shows when laughing.
After all, not everyone can use the cute face of a beautiful girl to make facial expressions that are unique to duelists. This is also a kind of talent.
"I remove the stacked Xyz material [White Dust Monster] and activate the effect of the Xyz monster [Baby Tiger Dragon]!"
[During your Main Phase 1, remove 1 Xyz Material from this card, and select 1 face-up Level 1 monster on your field. The selected monster can attack the opponent directly.]
"Use the effect of [Baby Tiger Dragon] to assist the 1-star [Rose Lover], so that [Rose Lover] can launch a direct attack on the opponent this turn!"
The first-level baby Tiger Dragon has an effect specifically used to support 1-star monsters. After the effect is activated, the cute and adorable Tiger Dragon directly pushes Rose Maiden on his head.
[Rozen Maiden ATK: 2600]
Aisha Carlos LP: 2500
Even though Rozen Maiden's attack power did not exceed that of the Proto-Dragon, after inheriting the power, it undoubtedly surpassed Aisha's remaining health points.
And ignoring the existence of the Proto-Dragon and launching direct attacks on players is even more deadly.
Beautiful women are as dangerous as the thorns of a rose.
"This is the gap between me and me. The experience of sorrow, pain and despair has allowed me to truly grow. It's over, Rose Lover's direct attack! - 'Arrow of Thorns'!"
The girl's thin arms pulled the seemingly fragile bow and arrow. However, the destructive power gathered in the arrow could easily tip the balance of victory or defeat in a duel.
"The feeling of revenge born out of despair is not true growth!"
Aisha stared directly at the arrow that was tearing through the air and shooting towards her with her emerald green eyes, without even blinking once out of fear.
"Having the courage to face darkness and despair, and having the awareness to endure pain, is the growth of a duelist! - Activate the Continuous Trap Card [Crystal Incarnation]!"
The crystal incarnation quickly condensed and assembled in front of Aisha, taking the appearance of a warrior monster, with a gorgeous body that shone like a diamond.
[Crystal Avatar Continuous Trap Card Effect: When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack, this card can only be activated if the monster's attack power is greater than your own basic points. After this card is activated, it becomes an Effect Monster (Warrior-Type, Light, 4*, Attack?/Defense 0) with the same attack power as your basic points and is Special Summoned in the Monster Zone in Attack Position.]
"When I receive a direct attack with a higher HP than my remaining HP, I can use the Continuous Trap Card [Crystal Avatar] to transform into a monster and summon it on my field. Its attack power is equal to the value of my remaining HP!"
A trap card with an unusually subtle strength that You Ling found among the C-rank spell cards.
The intensity is subtle, which means that the conditions for its activation are too harsh.
Not only does it have to be a direct attack, it has to be a lethal direct attack.
However, the activation conditions are too harsh. Once successful, it can achieve a counterattack effect comparable to the B-level card [Magic Cylinder].
[Crystal Avatar ★★★★ Light] [Warrior ATK: 2500 DEF: 0]
Aisha continued to read out the effects, "After successfully summoning the [Crystal Avatar], you can transfer direct attacks to the Crystal Avatar!"
Blocking the crystal incarnation guarding Aisha, he forcibly changed the target of [Rozen Maiden]'s attack, causing the arrow with 2600 attack points to collide head-on with the crystal with 2500 attack points.
Click——!
The attack power difference was 100 points, and the dazzling crystal gradually dissipated with a crisp shattering sound.
Aisha Carlos LP: 2500 → 2400
"Damn it, are you trying to stay alive by using this kind of trap?" Dark Side Aisha gritted his teeth and yelled in anger when his attack was blocked.
"I'm not trying to survive, this is my counterattack! The final effect of [Crystal Avatar], when this card is destroyed by battle, inflict damage equal to the attack power of this card to the opponent!"
"Nani? Aaaaaaaaah!"
The remaining crystal light turned into the final impact of Aisha's will, knocking the other self in front of him away, and his slender body rolled several times on the floor of the ruins room.
Aisha Carlos (Dark) LP: 4000 → 1500
Chapter 89: Fighting Despair
This is a two-chapter-in-one extra chapter.
========
After meeting the strict activation conditions, the trap card [Crystal Avatar] can even achieve an effect comparable to that of [Magic Cylinder].
It was like the scene before your eyes that instantly reversed the situation, directly inflicting a huge amount of 2500 points of damage to the opponent.
The soul shock similar to the dark game made the dark side Aisha's slender body roll on the floor for several times before finally stopping. His health was only 1500 points, and he was overtaken by the real Aisha.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
The lips seemed to be worn out by the impact of the previous few rounds of rolling, and he spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with bright red liquid. The dark side of Aisha cursed and propped himself up to stand up.
"Damn it! Shit! Worm! Scum!"
Well, she cursed and her language became more and more vulgar. It was hard to imagine that such dirty words would come out of the mouth of a girl like Aisha who looked pure and kind-hearted.
You Ling: "Okay, it's not hard to see that the other side's mentality has completely collapsed."
You Ling had emphasized to Aisha more than once that being angry during a duel would not help you gain any improvement, but would instead affect your thinking during the duel, making it more likely that you would make mistakes.
So when you inevitably cannot control your anger during a duel, you can simply attribute it to your mentality being broken.
Using [Baby Tiger Dragon] in conjunction with a 1-star monster's direct attack, and then adding the attack power increased by [Inherited Power], is indeed a very clever and unexpected offensive tactic that is difficult to guard against.
But such a tactic must be all the struggle that Aisha Carlos could make after being expelled from Fu Sheng Academy and looking for a breakthrough alone.
Grown, but not fully grown.
When you are at your wits' end, try desperately to search, to try, and to resist the predetermined fate.
Then, Aisha Carlos gained some power and saw hope.
As a result, the cruel reality told her that the power was not enough.
All your efforts are just to pry open a crack in the darkness to let in a ray of light, and then it returns to darkness again.
Aisha Yuna Carlos fell into deep despair.
"Why? Why! I gambled everything, my entire future, and still couldn't win!"
Aisha answered solemnly: "I said that, because that is not true growth. Emotions dominated by despair and revenge, and the power gained from them, cannot support a complete life."
Biting her lip, Aisha, who was on the dark side, glared at the other self in front of her.
Not reconciled.
We are both Aisha Carlos, but why can you live a college life full of laughter while I have to struggle in the mud of the swamp under the contemptuous eyes of everyone?
"I cover 1 cards, and the turn ends."
The dark side Aisha climbed up again, but did not give up the duel and threw down another card with courage.
But You Ling could see that the blackened girl in front of him, who was so miserable that he couldn't help but sympathize with her, was already at the end of her strength.
"My turn, draw a card."
At this time, the scene in Aisha also includes the ancient dragon ancestor left by You Ling.
On the other hand, Aisha on the dark side, the attack power increase of the magic card [Inherited Power] can only last until the end of the round. With 800 attack points, the [Rozen Maiden] in attack mode has the word death written on her face.
"Let's fight, using the power left by Mr. Yu Ling. The attack of the ancient dragon! ——'Original Shockwave'!"
The difference in attack power between the two sides was 1900 points. The roaring impact from the huge ancient dragon was no longer something that the dark side Aisha could withstand.
"Activate Trap Card! -- [Half Damage Unbreakable]!"
[Half Damage Trap Card Effect: Select 1 monster on the field to activate. During this turn, the selected monster cannot be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage inflicted on you by that monster's battle is halved.]
"I will make the [Rozen Maiden] on the field indestructible from battle, and reduce the damage it receives by half!"
Just like what You Ling thought, no matter how much Aisha "grows" after dropping out of school, the limited spell resources will not allow her to refine high-level powerful spell cards.
Spell cards like Inherit Power and Half Indestructible, which are more subtle in strength than Crystal Stand, are already very different from Aisha Carlos who earns credits at a high speed in the academy.
Aisha Carlos (Dark) LP: 1500 → 550
Aisha Carlos, who used a trap card to halve the combat damage he received and barely avoided being blown away by the Proto-Dragon's blast, fell to the ground due to the powerful impact.
As the dark side of Aisha's heart, he was beaten so miserably in the duel, which was really heartbreaking, and even Aisha herself felt a little bit sorry for it.
"Give up, other me. Even if you can survive this round, you can't win this duel."
"Shut up!"
Dark side Aisha, whose soul was continuously wounded and who even had difficulty getting up, did not show any sign of giving in.
"I was enjoying a happy college life, but I didn't even understand despair. If I lose to someone like me, what's the point of my life so far!"
"In the wrong life, a life that seeks meaning in darkness and despair, there is no meaning in the first place. Face the reality, other me! I cover a card, and the turn ends."
Whether in the duel or in belief, the genuine Aisha Carlos has already occupied an absolute advantage. Regarding this duel, You Ling seems to have nothing to worry about.
"My turn..."
No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't win this duel.
At this moment, Aisha Carlos of the dark side understood this better than anyone else.
Lost.
Lost.
Lost.
Lost.
Lost.
My life is meaningless.
Fake life.
A life that doesn't even really exist.
worthless.
"Only when your soul feels despair, the power of the God of Despair will respond to you."
Camille's narrowed eyes suddenly opened.
