"Field Magic 'The Sanctuary in the Sky' activate!"
The terrain changes, and the landscape transforms. A gigantic temple with an ancient Greek style rises from the ground, surrounded by a sea of clouds. That sacred 'The Fountain in the Sky' is situated within the sanctuary.
Cola Sprite waved her hand, "Go! Radiant Angel, attack 'Simorgh, Bird of Divinity'!"
The bird man looked dumbfounded: "Are you crazy? You're letting your own monster commit suicide..."
Boom!!!
Without any reversal of the plot, Radiant Angel was instantly killed by Simorgh, Bird of Divinity in a single blow.
"The effect of 'The Sanctuary in the Sky' makes all damage dealt to me by Fairy-Type Monsters zero!" Cola Sprite said. "Then, Radiant Angel's effect activates. When sent to the graveyard by battle destruction, special summon a Light Attribute Monster with an attack of 1500 or less from the deck.
Summon Radiant Angel again!"
[Radiant Angel, Attack 1400]
"And now, 'The Fountain in the Sky' effect activates, removing the Radiant Angel in the graveyard from play, restoring 1400 Life Points!"
[Cola Sprite, LP 5700 → LP 7100]
Bird man frowned, "The purpose is to recover Life Points..."
"Continue battle! Attack Simorgh, Bird of Divinity with the second Radiant Angel!"
Next unfolds the exact same scenario. Radiant Angel self-destructs, a third Radiant Angel flies out from the deck, Life Points recovered.
[Cola Sprite, LP 7100 → LP 8500]
"Attack with the third Radiant Angel!"
[Cola Sprite, LP 8500 → LP 9900]
But that's the last Radiant Angel in the deck.
Bird man sighed with relief, "Using this method to restore Life Points to ten thousand, but this should end it. You don't have any new Radiant Angels..."
"When Radiant Angel is destroyed, special summon a Light Attribute Monster with an attack of 1500 or less from the deck. Special summon Nova Summoner!" Sprite couldn't care less, "Nova Summoner, attack 'Simorgh, Bird of Divinity'!"
[Nova Summoner, Attack 1400]
Bird man: "!?"
Still more?
His 'Simorgh, Bird of Divinity' was a bit troubled by now. The opponent kept sending fodder monster after monster, although they can't deal any real damage, but it has to keep flapping its wings in counterattack, and it's happened four times in this turn already, it's exhausted...
It kind of wanted to say: "Why keep targeting me? There's a big black bird over there, go crash into it! You can't keep plucking feathers from just one bird!"
The nearby 'Dark Simorgh' was almost yawning in boredom by now...
Reflecting the previous pattern, Nova Summoner burst open, Life Points restored.
[Cola Sprite, LP 9900 → LP 11300]
"When Nova Summoner is destroyed in battle, special summon a Fairy-Type, Light Attribute Monster with an attack of 1500 or less from the deck." Cola Sprite declared, "I'll special summon a second Nova Summoner!"
[Nova Summoner, Attack 1400]
Bird man was left speechless, "Another effect like this?"
"Attack with the second Nova Summoner!"
The second Nova Summoner kamikaze'd itself, restoring Life Points, its testament having sent flying the third Nova Summoner from the deck.
[Cola Sprite, LP 11300 → LP 12700]
"Third Nova Summoner attack!"
[Cola Sprite, LP 12700 → LP 14100]
The final Nova Summoner nobly accomplished its self-destruct task, Life Points restored for the last time.
Bird man exhaled deeply, thinking surely now it must be finally over?
The monsters used for self-destructing are indeed finished, but the real explosion is just about to begin.
"The effect of the last Nova Summoner, special summon a Light Attribute, Fairy-Type Monster with an attack of 1500 or less from the deck!
I special summon—
—The Agent of Force - Mars!!!"
A crimson-bodied angel, with muscular and robust physique. White wings encircle his body like a shield, holding a black war axe, his entire corporeal form exuding a sense of power.
[The Agent of Force - Mars, Attack 0]
"A Level three, zero attack fish."
Bird man seemed obsessed with monsters' levels; every monster that appeared, he first paid attention to its level.
High level, he immediately brimmed with admiration, assuming it must be a phenomenal master.
Low level, he automatically filled with contempt, assuming it must be trash.
Cola Sprite chuckled, "The Agent of Force - Mars, when 'The Sanctuary in the Sky' is present, its attack power ... increases by the difference in Life Points that exceeds the opponent!"
"What!?" Bird man gasped, "The difference exceeds my Life Points? Your Life Points..."
[Cola Sprite, LP 14100]
[Bird man, LP 3200]
"That's right!" Cola Sprite said, "So The Agent of Force - Mars, attack power increases by 10900!"
[The Agent of Force - Mars, Attack 0 → Attack 10900]
The spirits in the field were frozen in place.
These enslaved spirits were mostly below Level three, with attack powers of three hundred or five hundred, also Normal Monsters, the lowest of the low in Duel Monsters.
These spirits have never in their lives seen such terrifying attack power!?
Five digits! Five digits!
Before such attack power, usually those arrogant slave masters are mere scrap!
Bird man had also seen such a scene for the first time, his face turning slightly pale: "A three-level minion, attack power can reach ten thousand..."
As soon as these words came out, an off-beat goofy bloke rebutted: "What do you mean by a three-level minion? I think you haven't taken enough beatings..."
At this moment, the agent with ten thousand attack power had begun to swell, wrapped as if in searing flames! He raised the war axe in hand, the bulging muscles exuding the beauty of force, that red glow-wrapped war axe seemed to contain the powerful force to split mountains!
"Flip Cover Card!" Bird man snapped back, hurriedly unveiling the back card, "Trap Card 'Floodgate Trap Hole'!
When an opponent's monster is successfully summoned or special summoned, turn that monster to face-down defense position!
Flip The Agent of Force - Mars to face-down defense position!"
"Ah!"
Numerous fairies had their hearts seized at this moment.
No matter how strong the attack power, when flipped and covered, it loses all its strength!
Cola Sprite's lips curled into a smirk.
Heh, did you think the cards I drew were just for show?
"The effect of 'Herald of Purple Light' from my hand!" Cola Sprite declared, "Discard 'Herald of Purple Light' and another Fairy-Type Monster from my hand to nullify the activation of a Trap Card and destroy it!
Hence, 'Floodgate Trap Hole' is nullified and destroyed!"
Bird Man: "!"
Seeing the spherical angel emitting a purple glow appear, announcing the nullification of his trap. He was unfazed and immediately revealed another trap.
"Trap Card 'Mirror of Oaths'! When your opponent special summons monsters from the deck, those monsters are destroyed... and I can draw a card!"
The surrounding fairies: "!"
Bird Man's expression turned deranged, laughing maniacally.
"No matter how much the attack power changes, it doesn't change the fact that it's a level three small fry! A small fry is a small fry and will never change its level in its lifetime!
Perish!"
A giant mirror appeared, unleashing the terrifying power of the oath, and even with ten thousand attack power, Mars ultimately couldn't resist, exploding amidst the storm!
"Ah... I actually failed..."
The fairies showed dejected expressions.
They had thought that this blow would defeat the city's defender and officially declare their freedom as slaves, but only ended up disappointed once again.
Even ten thousand attack power can't defeat the guardian?
This fact is indeed discouraging.
"Hehe, after all the fuss, you can't do anything in the end." Bird Man sneered, "As long as 'Glory Level Talisman' is present, your low-level monsters can't attack.
So even if you play tricks, it's useless. Low-class people should lead low-class lives..."
"You waste too much breath while playing cards." Cola Sprite said impatiently.
Bird Man: "..."
He finally realized that, as a warrior whose ace was just destroyed, the opponent was surprisingly calm.
Could it be that she has more tricks?
I have two Simorghs on the field, could you still take them down?
"Quick-Play Spell 'Celestial Transformation'." Cola Sprite said, "Special summon a Fairy-Type Monster from my hand. However, that monster's attack power is halved and it will be destroyed at the end of the turn."
She revealed another card from her hand.
"Special summon 'The Agent of Judgment - Saturn'."
[The Agent of Judgment - Saturn, ATK 2400 → ATK 1200]
Saturn, a phonetic translation of Saturn. She had purple skin, dark angel-like purple-black wings, and a face as cold as ice, like an executioner devoid of warmth.
For some reason, despite her attack power being halved and destined for destruction at the end of the turn, Bird Man looked at her and felt an inexplicable chill.
As if... staring at his own death.
Yet, he still insisted: "Heh, only level six? With halved attack power, destined for destruction at the end of the turn, what's the point of summoning it?
Or is this just a final futile struggle..."
However, the players evidently thought otherwise.
"Alright, this time, the game is truly over."
"Everyone disperse, we can contact the pallbearers now, Bird Man can be carried away directly..."
Bird Man: "???"
"Quick-Play Spell 'Inferno Reckless Summon'!" Cola Sprite announced, "When a monster with 1500 or less attack power is special summoned, activate to special summon as many cards of the same name from the deck!
Because 'The Agent of Judgment - Saturn's' attack power was halved, it is now below 1500!
Thus, I special summon two more 'The Agent of Judgment - Saturn' cards from the deck!"
[The Agent of Judgment - Saturn, ATK 2400] x2
Bird Man frowned: "But as a side effect of 'Inferno Reckless Summon', I can also choose any of my monsters on the field to special summon cards of the same name from the deck.
Therefore, I special summon two more 'Simorgh, Bird of Divinity' cards from the deck!"
The storm whipped up again, and two identical Simorghs flew out of the deck!
[Simorgh, Bird of Divinity, ATK 2700] x2
"Hahaha! I don't know what you're trying to do, but your card is backfiring!" Bird Man laughed, "'Inferno Reckless Summon', this card merely brings you closer to hell!"
The players on the side continued to whisper.
"Sprite sister is over the top, using the hell summon against a dead man?"
"Maybe she's just having fun tormenting the corpse..."
Bird Man: "???"
What the heck have they been talking about all this time?
"The Agent of Judgment - Saturn, activate effect." Cola Sprite smiled, "When 'The Sanctuary in the Sky' is present on your field, and your Life Points are higher than your opponent's, use Saturn itself as a sacrifice... deal damage equal to the difference in Life Points to the opponent."
The difference in Life Points between both parties...
Bird Man: "!?!"
Oh no, does that mean... 10900 damage!?
Wait, three Agents of Judgment? If we ignore the fact that the first one already finishes him, the first Agent drops his Life Points to 0, then theoretically each of the remaining two can inflict 14100 damage!
Which means the total damage is... thirty-nine thousand one hundred!?
... Well, that's assuming his frail body can withstand it all.
The Agent of Judgment sacrificed herself, her body turning into a transparent phantom. Her wings spread open, and the immense power surged between her hands.
Bird Man showed an expression of terror.
A face as if confronted by a ghost, similar to "Is this stupid thing even a duel?"
The celestial agent stretched out her hand, her fingers slender, a purple-black current gushed from her fingertips, like an endless river.
"Ahhhh!!!"
[Bird Man, LP 3200 → LP 0]
