The Nature of Possession

387 – EP.14 Pull out the sword called Card!!!-4

***

“[King Crush]’s effect activates! Once during my turn, I can select a monster on the field and activate its effect. Inflict damage to the opponent equal to the original ATK of the selected monster. I select [King Crush]. 4400 effect damage!”

A black aura extending from the giant dinosaur rushed towards Kang In-ho.

“Activate the face-down card [Wall of Power]. You can activate it when you receive effect damage. By removing 1 card from your deck, you can reduce the damage by 400 points. I will cancel the effect damage by removing 11 cards from my deck.”

Kang In-ho’s Duel Disk spat out a bunch of cards.

“Are you okay? Your deck. There’s not much left!”

Bloni shouted as he watched the cards disappear into the air.

“Don’t worry, there’s already enough.”

Kang In-ho extended his right hand down and received the blow.

“[King Krush] still has time to attack. Go, [King Krush]!!! Attack the player directly!!!”

A huge force rushes in with its mouth wide open.

Knock knock knock

A vibration that shook the ground rushed towards Kang In-ho.

“Activate the overturned card! [Novel Fusion]. You can summon a fusion monster by removing fusion material monsters from the graveyard.”

Another card appears.

“I summon fusion monsters, excluding [Angry Pia-chan], [Running Nobel-chan], and [Chasing Writer].”

A thunderbolt struck. A huge amount of energy began to gather around Kang In-ho’s card.

He felt the stiff feel of the card in his hand and put it down as if he was throwing it into the Duel Disk.

“Come out. Giant monster. [Nobel Gorani]!!!!”

A bipedal deer appeared, digging through the ground.

The goral grabbed King Krush’s mouth with both forelegs.

Joo Woo Wook

The goral was pushed back by the dinosaur’s charge.

“Cheer up, Gorani!”

Was it because Kang In-ho’s shout reached him? The pushed back Gorani regained his balance and blocked King Krush’s charge.

“With the effect of [Wild Moon], [Nobel Gorani]’s ATK is 4500. It’s 100 higher than King Crush!”

Bloni’s LIFE dropped to 5400.

“[King Crush] cannot be destroyed by battle. This duel will end with [King Crush]’s effect damage when the next turn comes around. I will place a card face down and end the turn like this.”

It’s Kang In-ho’s turn now.

“[Nobel Gorani] Attack!”

Kang In-ho charged into battle without delay.

“Are you planning on winning by lowering LIFE by 100? [King Crush] is immune to battle destruction.”

“It’s not [King Krush] that I’m attacking.”

He shouted at the screaming Bloni.

“What?”

Bloni’s gaze turned to Kang In-ho’s finger. His long index finger was pointing to something floating in the sky.

“I am the one who will attack [the moon that leads the wild].”

“Attack… the moon?”

Bloni looked up at the moon floating in the sky in a daze.

The deer’s hoof pierced the center of the moon, and as the moon shattered, a huge tidal wave fell over the heads of the man and woman.

There were no monsters left behind after the tsunami passed.

Gorani too, and King Krush too.

“[Nobel Gorani]’s effect activates. If this card is sent to the graveyard by an effect, recover LIFE equal to the ATK of one Fusion Material Monster. I choose [Chaining Writer] and recover LIFE.”

LIFE remaining is 1400.

Kang In-ho counted the cards remaining on the field.

1 card in your field, 2 cards in Bloni’s field.

‘I have more ADs (card resources). I can definitely win.’

“I will end my turn.”

***

[King Krush] will be destroyed.

There are way more sons over there, so I’m absolutely at a disadvantage.

Are you losing?

In front of an opportunity to put this world back to normal…

Can’t you save the person you love?

I tried so hard, I was in so much pain, but in the end it was a failure?

Does the pain you feel every time you take damage in the ‘Game of Death’ become meaningless?

My body and soul, now a disgrace, are useless?

No… No…

It can’t end like this.

I am…

I am…!

I am…!!!

“I don’t want to lose!!!!!”

A huge amount of energy emanated from Bloni.

“Ugh!”

While Kang In-ho hesitated at that momentum, Bloni put his hand on his deck.

[Honey, will you always be by my side?]

Yeah, I’ll always be by your side. We promised.

[Yes, I will always be by your side to protect you.]

I made a contract with Dolgem to protect you. I defeated everyone in the Death Duel, and it was all for you.

“That’s why!!! I’ll save you!!! I’ll put my everything on the line!!”

Well, we made a promise.

“I’ll bet everything on this card!!!”

Bloni drew a card.

She looked at the card in her hand.

She wiped away the tears that had flowed without her knowing with the back of her hand and spoke in a trembling voice.

“It’s my last turn.”

She shouted, holding high the card she had just drawn.

“Activate Magic Card! [Nature’s Force]. If your opponent’s LIFE is divided by 100 and the number is 14, you can summon as many [Tree Spirits] as possible to the Monster Zone!”

Five tree spirits were summoned to Bloni’s field.

“Go! [Tree Spirit]!”

With Bloni’s shout, a tree spirit rushes in. Although it was a monster with an ATK of only 500, it was a threatening figure for LIFE 1400.

“Covered card activation! [Novel Server Room]. This card can be treated as a monster card and summoned to the field. Special summoned in defense position! DEF is 2000!”

Kang In-ho created a wall to block attacks.

A monster with DEF 2000 appeared, but the charge of the tree spirit with ATK 500 did not stop.

Kang In-ho’s eyes widened as he tried to breathe a sigh of relief.

“What… what?”

“Activate the covered card! [Wild Revenge]. This turn, after the monster’s attack ends, increase the ATK of my monster by 500! Go [Tree Spirit]!”

A tree spirit rushes into the server room and explodes. The difference between the server room’s DEF and the tree spirit’s ATK is 1500. Bloni’s LIFE decreases.

Bloni LIFE = 3900

“The first attack is over. The remaining [Tree Spirits]’ ATK increases by 500! Go [Tree Spirits]! Double hit!”

The attack of the [Tree Spirit] with ATK 1000 is blocked again in the server room.

Bloni LIFE = 2900

“ATK increases by 500! Go, 3 consecutive hits!”

Bloni LIFE = 2400

“4 hits in a row!”

[Tree Spirit], whose ATK had suddenly reached 2000, pierced the thick armor of the server room.

The server room, shattered to pieces, disappeared from the field, and all that was left was a defenseless Kang In-ho.

The tree spirit’s ATK has increased to 2500.

If a direct attack is allowed, the situation is over.

‘There is no card to block it.’

Kang In-ho looked through the cards in his hand and lowered his head when he realized that he could not win.

“Guorenda (5 consecutive hits)!!!”

From the other side, Bloni’s scream was heard.

He spread his arms wide in resignation as he saw the [Tree Spirit] rushing towards him.

When the rough hand of the tree spirit touched his head,

“Activate the overturned card! [Ring of Destruction]. Activate by designating one of my monsters. Destroy that monster, and both players take effect damage equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster.”

Bloni activated the last card he had covered, and the tree spirit disappeared.

“What?”

Due to the effect of [Ring of Destruction], Kang In-ho and Bloni’s LIFE became 0.

“What have you done?”

Kang In-ho asked while looking at Bloni. A deep confusion settled into his eyes.

“Because I promised.”

She said with a bashful smile.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

When he frowned at the unknown words, Bloni laughed.

[Honey, will you always be by my side?]

[Yes, I will always be by your side to protect you.]

***

At the place where the game of death had taken place, two lights quietly dispersed into the sky.

The halo of light dispersed like that.
