Chapter 66: Unconventional Duel
"Pfft, isn't this the trash monster that broke the summoning record? How amusing."
Luka's undisguised ridicule; compared to her previous amiable and friendly personality, Luka after the soul transformation was clearly more aggressive and arrogant.
"A trash monster with 300 attack points, how can it contend with a Demon Angel with 2400 attack? I advise you to surrender, it's very embarrassing. I'll end this turn first."
Putting down her hand card and declaring the end of her turn, although the fatal blow was barely blocked by [Counter Gate] , Luka didn't think a mere Kuriboh could shake her victory.
"Contend with Demon Angel? What, is 2400 attack power very high?" You Ling retorted.
"Stop pretending with me, I know that the strongest monster currently in Fusion Academy's first year is Kevin's 2400 attack power Red-Eyes Black Dragon."
"Then your information is undoubtedly outdated."
Fingers pressed on the deck in Aisha's Elven Eye, feeling the numbing sensation passing from fingertips through her whole body, You Ling knew that card should be coming.
After all, it was a 20-card duel; if the number of turns dragged on, the probability of drawing key cards would also be very high.
"My turn, draw!"
The card held between fair fingertips drew a dazzling electric light in the air.
The roaring power of demons, at the instant the card was drawn, seemed to bring down thunder around Aisha's body.
"Come forth, I tribute the [Relinkuriboh] on my field, Tribute Summon!"
Relinkuriboh, slowly disappearing in the light of the tribute, transformed into an effect and ascended into the sky, guiding the soul of a higher-level monster.
"Xiao Ai, she actually used Tribute Summoning?"
Except for the duel where [Hand Exchange] took Kevin's Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Yilin had never seen Aisha use Tribute Summoning.
After all, with a deck full of trash monsters, there was no need for tributing.
Kevin said seriously: "But, a tribute summon using only 1 tribute, can it really reach a level comparable to the attack power of the 7-star Red-Eyes Black Dragon?"
"Tribute Summon, Thunder Demon!——[Summoned Skull] !"
[Summoned Skull ★★★★★★ (6-Star) DARK][Fiend-Type ATK: 2500 DEF: 1200]
The tall Thunder Demon, clad in pale white skeletons, descended and stood on Aisha's field.
Compared to its terrifying and oppressive appearance, Summoned Skull's own attack power shocked everyone present even more.
"A tribute using 1 sacrifice, a 6-star monster, its attack power actually exceeds Red-Eyes Black Dragon's?!"
"Aisha Carlos actually has such a strong monster in her hand?"
"Is this really that dead last from before?"
The strength Aisha displayed in this practical combat test was simply astonishing, as if she had been completely reborn.
The dead-last girl who could once only barely fight using trash monsters, just when did she become capable of wielding a monster of Summoned Skull's level at her fingertips?
"Aisha Carlos, what an exaggerated growth speed," Kyma commented.
Irena smiled teasingly: "What, feeling nervous, Kyma? If Aisha continues to grow like this, will there come a day when even you can't beat her?"
"Hmph, absolutely impossible!"
"When [Relinkuriboh] is tributed, I can draw 1 extra card. Then battle, Summoned Skull! Let the angel be utterly destroyed under the flash of the demon's thunder!——『Magic Lightning Strike 』!"
Guiding the lightning's trajectory in the sky, the explosive bombardment instantly swept across the ground; with a 100-point attack power advantage, it pulverized [Fallen Angel of Roses] amidst the thunder.
[Fallen Angel of Roses] destroyed
Luka LP: 800→700
"Is this really a duel that can be fought in a practical combat test?"
The surrounding students were all dumbfounded.
Aisha Carlos and the transfer student Luka Srlent, their clash was almost exaggerated beyond the comprehension of first-year students.
First, Luka threw out two black and white angels with 2400 attack points, and then Aisha countered by tributing for Summoned Skull with 2500 attack points.
Clearly a test duel with only 2000 life and 20 cards, yet the two fought until the sky turned dark and storms and thunder intertwined unceasingly.
"Summoned Skull, so Decour was indeed taken out by Aisha Carlos."
Luka muttered softly, simultaneously holding the Demon Angel card that was just destroyed.
"When [Fallen Angel of Roses] is destroyed, it is not sent to the Graveyard but directly banished from the game."
"I set one card, turn end."
The Trap Card [Accurate Defense] You Ling set was drawn into his hand this turn through the effect of [Relinkuriboh].
If the tactic could proceed smoothly, next turn he could gather the three Poker Knights on the field, plus Summoned Skull's attack power, completing the decisive kill.
"My turn, draw!"
Luka, suppressed by Summoned Skull, drew a Trap Card this turn, [Magic Cylinder] .
A very vicious heavy trap, especially in a test duel with 2000 Life Points; directly reflecting the opponent monster's attack power back as damage, if the opponent is slightly careless, there's a high probability of direct defeat.
"It's really hard to even try to lose."
Even if Aisha beat Decour, it didn't matter; a Duelist of Decour's level was just a disposable pawn in Luka's eyes.
Now, Luka even just needed to set this trap on the field and wait for Summoned Skull's attack next turn to directly win the duel.
Of course, with You Ling's level of caution, Luka definitely wouldn't rule out the possibility of the opponent testing the trap with a lower attack monster.
"Better to be more stable, just crush them directly with power."
Not rushing to set [Magic Cylinder], Luka drew another card from her hand.
"Quick-Play Magic Card [Burial from a Different Dimension] , can return my banished [Fallen Angel of Roses] to the Graveyard area."
A Magic Card that recovers monsters from the banished zone, completing the transfer of the Demon Angel card.
Aisha guessed: "Specifically calling Demon Angel back to the Graveyard, is she planning to use [Monster Reborn] ?"
You Ling said: "Even if Demon Angel is revived, Summoned Skull's attack power is still higher. I don't think it's that simple."
"Mere Summoned Skull, trying to block my attack, that's too wishful thinking."
Drawing a monster card from her hand, a supremely confident smile lifted the corners of Luka's rosy lips.
"The level as a Duelist is different. Summoned Skull might be the strongest card for you, but for me, it's not worth mentioning!"
Black and white magic power swirled around the card held between Luka's fingertips.
"Let me use this card to make you realize the difference, student Aisha Carlos."
"Light and dark, black and white, the angelic form where Dignified and Demon intertwine! Banish the Dignified Angel from my hand, and the Demon Angel from my Graveyard, Special Summon!——Descend, [Grand Dignified Demon Angel Rose Fairy]
