"Battle!" The girl waved her hand grandly, directly declaring the battle phase, "Use Radiant Angel to attack Chocolate Magician Girl!"
At this moment, there were NPC spectators who were surprised: "Using a monster with lower attack power for a suicide attack?"
"Does this girl even know how to duel?"
"It seems like we've never seen such a contestant in previous tournaments, is her skill level not up to par?"
Amidst the doubts from the NPCs, the Radiant Angel flapped her golden, voluptuous wings and fearlessly charged towards the magician girl on Youyu's field!
Though it seemed like a suicide attack, Youyu naturally wouldn't let her succeed, having guessed her intention: "Chocolate Magician Girl's effect activates!
Once per turn, when she is selected as an attack target, you can Special Summon one Spellcaster-Type from the graveyard, and the attacking monster's attack power is halved, with the attack target forcibly changed to that monster!"
Chocolate Magician Girl stood ready, waved her Magic Staff, and with a burst of Magic Power, brushed the charging angel aside.
A gold flash in Youyu's Duel Disc graveyard, and the card discarded to the graveyard by the Chocolate Girl's effect last turn popped up, returning to his hand.
"Come forth! The great student of the Black Magician, the strongest magician girl wielding the power of Black Magic—
—Dark Magician Girl, revive!"
A black array appeared on the ground, spinning slowly, as a vibrant silhouette gracefully flipped in mid-air and landed precisely in the path of the Radiant Angel's charge.
[Dark Magician Girl, Defense Power 1700]
[Radiant Angel, Attack Power 1400 → Attack Power 700]
Coca Sprite was surprised to find the resurrected Dark Magician Girl was in defense position.
Defense position... has Youyu-san seen through my strategy?
If the Radiant Angel is destroyed in battle, it can Special Summon from the Card Deck, but if the attack target is in defense position, the angel can't self-destruct and naturally can't trigger its effect.
But fortunately, she happened to have some luck this match and had a way to counter!
"Quick-Play Magic - Enemy Controller!"
Coca Sprite quickly played the card. A giant game controller was immediately projected in front of her, with commands swiftly input via the pressing of buttons.
Being a professional player backed by a guild, Coca Sprite understandably has some powerful Rare Cards in her hand. Like this Enemy Controller card, one of the most affordable General Cards players have had the chance to acquire early on.
"Enemy Controller can activate one of two effects. Change the representation form of a monster on the field; or sacrifice a monster on your field to gain control of an opponent's monster for one turn.
Here, I will choose to activate the first effect!
Force your 'Dark Magician Girl' to change to attack position!"
The Controller Coca Sprite acquired had a Physical Card effect. Clearly, she won't perform the "up-up-down-down-ABAB" show like the president does, yet this doesn't affect the effect activation.
Under the influence of the Controller effect, Dark Magician Girl's body moved reluctantly against her will. She stood up, exchanging her defensive stance to meet Radiant Angel's suicide attack head-on.
[Dark Magician Girl, Defense Power 1700 → Attack Power 2000]
"Continue the battle, Radiant Angel attacks Dark Magician Girl." Coca Sprite said.
Youyu frowned slightly and said, "Then Dark Magician Girl, retaliate. Black Magic Burst!"
Receiving her master's command, Dark Magician Girl waved her small hand, and a blast of Magic Power effortlessly shattered the charging angel into pieces.
"First is the effect of Field Magic - The Sanctuary in the Sky." Coca Sprite said, "Battle damage inflicted to players by Fairy-Type monsters becomes 0.
Then, the effect of Continuous Magic - The Fountain in the Sky. When a Light Attribute Monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard, exclude that monster from the graveyard, and I can recover Life Points equal to that monster's original attack points."
Although Radiant Angel's attack power was reduced to 700 when destroyed, since determining attack power happens after it enters the graveyard, it is still calculated as its original attack power of 1400.
[Coca Sprite, LP 4000→ LP 5400]
"Next is the 'Radiant Angel' effect." She drew from the Card Deck, "Special Summon a Light Attribute Monster with attack power 1500 or less from the Card Deck... Special Summon the third Radiant Angel!"
A golden light beam shot from the Card Deck, and a third angel descended onto the field.
[Radiant Angel, Attack Power 1400]
"Following that, the third angel attacks Dark Magician Girl!"
Another suicide attack, this angel is obviously no match for the magician girl, casually blasted into fragments.
"Field Magic - The Sanctuary in the Sky's effect renders damage I receive as 0. Continuous Magic - The Fountain in the Sky's effect excludes 'Radiant Angel' from the graveyard, recovering 1400 Life Points."
[Coca Sprite, LP 5400 →LP 6800]
"Then 'Radiant Angel' effect to Special Summon a Light Attribute Monster with attack power 1500 or less from the Card Deck."
Having exhausted all three "Radiant Angel" cards in the Card Deck, this time she drew a new sacrificial fodder.
```
"I special summon this monster, 'Nova Summoner'!"
[Nova Summoner, Attack Power 1400]
"Then 'Nova Summoner', attack Dark Magician Girl again!"
The newly summoned Fairy-Type monster fearlessly shot a beam at the magical girl. The Dark Magician Girl casually flicked her Magic Staff to deflect the attack, then countered with a burst of magic power that blew the monster to pieces once more.
The magical girl who kept repeating this action was becoming numb.
Her little head couldn't understand the meaning behind her opponent's persistent suicide strategy with low-level monsters.
Could it be trying to tire me out?
"With the effect of The Sanctuary in the Sky, I take no battle damage; with the effect of The Fountain in the Sky, by banishing 'Nova Summoner', I recover 1400 LP."
[Cola Sprite, LP 6800 → LP 8200]
By now, bystanders had started to get restless, and some players were getting excited. However, she ignored all this, her attention locked on the duel, continuing her moves.
"With the effect of 'Nova Summoner', when destroyed by battle, I special summon a Light Attribute Fairy-Type monster with 1500 or less Attack Power from my deck. I continue to special summon 'Nova Summoner'!
Then attack Dark Magician Girl!"
Indeed, the effect is exactly like the "Radiant Angel". The second "Nova Summoner" appeared, quickly shattering under the bombardment of Black Magic.
"The effect of The Sanctuary in the Sky, damage negated. The effect of The Fountain in the Sky, I recover 1400 LP."
[Cola Sprite, LP 8200 → LP 9600]
"With the effect of 'Nova Summoner', special summon the third 'Nova Summoner'. Attack Dark Magician Girl!"
[Nova Summoner, Attack Power 1400]
The third Nova Summoner launched a desperate charge, blasted to smithereens once again by a magical burst from the girl.
"The effect of The Sanctuary in the Sky, damage negated. Then, the effect of The Fountain in the Sky, I recover 1400 LP."
[Cola Sprite, LP 9600 → LP 11000]
But with that, it was finally over.
At this point, all three "Nova Summoner" and "Radiant Angel" cards in the Cola Sprite deck had been exhausted, boosting her Life Points to a terrifying 11000.
But with that, her preparations were complete.
"Once more, for the last time, activate the effect of 'Nova Summoner', special summoning from my deck a Light Attribute Fairy-Type monster with 1500 or less Attack Power."
Cola Sprite opened her deck again, finally summoning the terminal she needed.
"Special summon—
——The Agent of Force - Mars!"
Flames like rebirth erupted from the ground, spreading across the ground like lava. A warhammer, glowing red-hot, emerged through the flames, followed by an angel with a crimson body.
Darklord-like wings, a heavy black warhammer, the angel surrounded by flames and black aura, the air seemed to still for a moment at its appearance.
[The Agent of Force - Mars, Attack Power 0]
Youyu frowned.
Just as expected... is it this thing?
The OTK strategy of Blood Gap Angels. Given Cola Sprite's configuration, it probably was the most reliable deck a player could currently build.
Cola Sprite spoke with some excitement, "The Agent of Force - Mars, when there is 'The Sanctuary in the Sky' on the field, his attack power... increases by the amount my Life Points exceed my opponent's!"
[Cola Sprite, LP 11000]
[Youyu, LP 4000]
"Now the difference in our Life Points is seven thousand, so the attack power of The Agent of Force - Mars... increases by seven thousand!"
[The Agent of Force - Mars, Attack Power 0 → Attack Power 7000]
The NPCs who were previously mocking and questioning were suddenly speechless, each even doubting their own eyes.
Did I see that right?
Attack Power...
...Seven thousand!?
