บท 55: Duel! Part 2!

Aaron drew a card, and smiled beneath his mask. His own little field spell. This should be fun. He played the field spell 'Curse of the Shadow Prison' which had quite the amount of effects, so we shall address them when necessary. Aaron then 'flip summoned' his face down monster, flipping his card so that it could be seen, revealing it was a 'Shaddoll Beast' card, which activated the Shaddoll Archetype's signature flip effect, allowing Aaron to draw two cards, but then he'd have to discard one. He drew his two cards, and discarded one of the cards he drew, Shaddoll Dragon, sending it to the graveyard, activating the Graveyard effect it has, allowing him to destroy one spell or trap his opponent has on the field, so he destroyed Crystet's field spell, Fallen Paradise, as he began thinking. He activated his field spell, using one of the effects, which was, allowing him to place one imaginary 'spellstone counter' on it, as he had sent one Shaddoll monster to the Graveyard with a card effect, to be used for its other effects. He decided that he would activate one of the spell cards he had in his hand. Super Polymerization.

Super Polymerization allowed him to use his own cards for the summoning of a 'Fusion Monster', but he could also use his opponents monster. He sacrificed the Shaddoll Squamata, and Crystet's Dark Summoning Beast, to summon one of his fusion monsters, El Shaddoll Winda, which require two dark type monsters, which both were, with one of them needing to be a Shaddoll monster.

This activated the effect of Crystet's monster, allowing him to search out a card called 'Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder'. Aaron also actuated the effect of Shaddoll Squamata to send one of his Shaddoll monsters from his deck to the Graveyard.

He sent 'Shaddol Hedgehog' to the Graveyard, and used its graveyard effect to add another Shaddoll Hedgehog to his hand. Hhe then decided to go even further. He activated a spell called Pot of Avarice, which allowed him to shuffle 5 monsters from the Graveyard into the deck, and draw 2 cards. He selected his five, or, well, the only five in there, placed them into the deck, shuffled it, and drew two cards.

He drew a monster called 'Performage Trick Clown', and so, he summoned it, no effect occurring, so he made one occur, by playing a spell card called Nephe Shaddoll Fusion, which allowed him to change the attribute of his Shaddoll Beast, so he changed it to Fire, for absolutely no reason, as he wanted to use the second effect, which allowed him to Fusion summon a monster. He sacrificed his Performapal Trick Clown and his Shaddol Beast to summon El Shaddoll Construct, which needed one light monster and one Shaddoll monster.

He activated the effect of El Shaddoll Construct to send a Shaddoll card from the deck to the Graveyard, so he sent Shaddoll Squamata to the Graveyard, which meant he sent Reeshaddoll Wendi to the Graveyard, which then meant he summoned a monster run face down defence position.

This deck focused a lot on the Graveyard and special summons. This made it a very confusing deck for new people to go up against. Aaron then decided to move towards the 'Battle Phase, smiling, as he prepared to attack Crystet directly. This is because Crystet had no monsters on the field to protect him, so there was nothing to stop Aaron, as this was only the third turn.

The battle phase was when Aaron got to use his monsters and their attack points to fight. Since Crystet had nothing to stop him, he had to wait and see how much damage he would take.

Winda has 2200 ATK, Mathematician had 1500, and Construct had 2800, which, when combined, dealt 6500 damage in total. 8000 - 6500 = 1500, which left Crystet shocked, as Aaron ended his turn, a smile going mad beneath his mask.

"Wow. Just wow. In one turn I'm almost dead. Well, time to draw!" Crystet said, his eyes still having the black creeping through them. We have to see what will happen with that later. Crystet drew his card, and...he was disappointed. He drew a trap card which only let him draw cards, but, maybe, he could use this to his advantage. It was called 'Dark Factory of More Production. He set it, and ended his turn.

Aaron drew the card to start his turn, and got another Super Polymerization. He chuckled, as He didn't even need it. This was when Crystet flipped over his Dark Factory of More Production, and used its effect. He sent Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder to the Graveyard, and was then allowed to draw one card. He had to hope that he was able to get the card he needed...

And that's when he drew it. The final peace of the puzzle. The final Sacred Beast, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames. He flipped up one of the cards he had set up on his first turn, a spell card, called Dimension Fusion Destruction. He banished all three of the Sacred Beasts, from both his hand and the Graveyard, to begin a fusion summon.

What is 'banishing'? It's like a graveyard for the Graveyard, meaning that the cards there can only be affected by cards targeting the banished pile.

Cryatet chuckled, as he went through his extra deck, and found the one card which would bring him victory. Arimytle, the Chaos Phantasm! It had...zero attack and zero defence? What was the meaning of this? Well, that lies in its effect, which activated the second he enters the battle phase.

Arimytle gained 10,000 attack when it was Crystet's battle phase, meaning that it was useless any other time, but all he needed was one attack on the weak Mathematician, and he would win. He just needed for Aaron to not read the last line of text.

"Wow. A ten thousand attack point beatstick. I can tdo anything about that. I end my turn." Aaron said, pretending he hadn't read the card text. It made him chuckle to himself, but not loudly enough for Crystet to hear.

Crystet drew his card, and instantly entered the battle phase. He targeted the mathematician, and was about to attack, but Aaron interrupted him.

"I activate the spell, Super Polymerization!" Aaron triumphantly exclaimed. "No! I can't negate it!" Crystet replied, shocked at the instant turn of the tides.

Aaron tributed his face down card, Shaddoll Falco, and Arimytle, The Chaos Phantasm, to summon another El Shaddoll Winda.

"Dammit. I can't do anything. I end my turn." Crystet said, knowing he had lost. Aaron drew a card, but it didn't matter what it was. It was game over. Aaron attacked using all of his monsters. Two Windas for 4400, one Construct for 2800, and one Mathematician for 1500. The total damage was: 8700 damage! Crystet had been completely defeated, and Aaron hadn't lost a single life point.

Quite the duel.
