"With this, it's over!"
Silver Meteor laughed heartily.
"Giant Battleship - Bursting Cannon Core, attack 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya'!"
The battleship's energy core began to fill with power, missiles and gun barrels extended everywhere.
Targets locked, dense firepower erupted forth, the sky filled with missiles like a barrage. Beams interwove, forming a giant net sweeping towards Asuka's field, showcasing a stark contrast to the lone Electronic Angel amidst the barrage.
But Asuka did not retreat: "Electronic Angel - Nasadiya, activate effect. When my Ritual Monster is chosen as an attack target, I can nullify that attack.
Nasadiya itself is a Ritual Monster!"
The vortex of golden magic instantly swirled like a shield in front of Nasadiya, forming a defensive vortex to resist the bombardment of the Bursting Cannon Core. The powerful firepower licked the vortex barrier, but ultimately left no trace.
"Life Point recovery and attack defense..." Silver Meteor understood, "Is this angel a defensive type angel?
But it's not over. I still have Giant Battleship - Four Arms' attack!"
The core of the second battleship similarly seemed to be illuminated. Energy filled, all barrels began to charge. Four mechanical arms swung out, as if hunting.
Though Four Arms' Attack Power cannot complete the kill, it's important to note that at this moment, Four Arms has no indicators on it.
In other words, the energy core of Giant Battleship - Four Arms is now exposed unguarded. As soon as another battle occurs, the energy core will be shattered by the opponent, and Four Arms will self-destruct due to its own effect.
At that instant, the effect of Continuous Magic "Boss Battle" will activate, he can freely search any Giant Battleship from his deck to the field, naturally able to search for a battleship most suitable for breaking through the current situation and ensuring a definite finish.
"Nasadiya's effect." Asuka said, "Turn attacks against Ritual Monsters null!"
Silver Meteor: "!"
Wait a second, this thing doesn't have a once per turn limit on attack nullification?!
He finally realized, this thing is essentially an attack lockdown. Similar to Super Gravity Net and Level Restriction B Zone, it's self-contained.
The firepower fired by the battleship was intercepted again by the energy vortex released by Nasadiya, like a full-force punch into cotton.
"Since the attack was nullified, the battle did not occur." Asuka said, "Therefore, even without indicators on it, 'Giant Battleship - Four Arms' will not self-destruct due to its own effect, and 'Boss Battle's effect will not trigger.
You cannot Special Summon a new Giant Battleship from the deck to the field."
"Tch." Silver Meteor grimaced.
Clearly, his tactic was to summon Giant Battleships, consume indicators to trigger various effects or to battle. Then when indicators are depleted, the battleship self-destructs, and through "Boss Battle's effect transforms into a new battleship, endlessly sustaining, sending forth various powerful battleships to fight.
So clearly, for him Nasadiya is the most troublesome type of opponent before him. The ability to block attacks effectively severed his search chain, preventing him from using battles to allow Giant Battleships to self-destruct, thus stopping him from freely searching the deck.
"First comes the frenzied direct attack, now the attack lockdown." Silver Meteor frowned, "Asuka Tenjouin, you were not this kind of Duelist before."
"People change." Asuka replied confidently, "That's called growth."
"Bah."
Silver Meteor shook his head repeatedly.
"Indeed, this academy is filthy and dark, even a pure student like Asuka cannot escape its influence. Because of this, the great light is needed to purify!
The Light Association is precisely the strength this academy currently needs!"
"Ridiculous..." Asuka rubbed her forehead, "From just now on, I can't understand a word you're saying."
"Is it so?"
Silver Meteor sneered.
"It's alright. Once I win the duel, I'll make you understand deeply with your body. Then you'll perceive the beauty of light and comprehend the truth of the cosmos."
He drew two more cards in one breath.
"Set two cards in the rear field, turn ends."
"Though I don't know what you're talking about, as long as it's a duel, I will give it my all." Asuka said, "My turn, draw card!
First of all, activate 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya's effect!
Once per turn, select a monster on your field, regain Life Points equal to half of that monster's Attack Power!"
Silver Meteor: "Your field only has Nasadiya itself."
"Correct. I choose 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya', regaining half of its Attack Power, which is 500 Life Points."
Nasadiya let out a clear cry, its entire body cloaked in golden light. The light turned into a beam of golden stream flowing into Asuka's body.
[Asuka, LP 1200→LP 1700]
"Next, I summon 'Digital Little Angel'."
Appearing is a pink mechanical little angel, with angel wings and a small halo atop its head.
[Digital Little Angel, Attack Power 300]
"When Digital Little Angel is successfully summoned, add the Ritual Magic 'Mechanical Angel Ceremony' from the deck to hand."
Asuka spread her deck, drew out a card, and after adding it to her hand, shuffled the remaining deck, reinserting it into the Duel Disc.
"Then, Ritual Magic 'Mechanical Angel Ceremony' activates!
Sacrifice monsters from hand and field with combined levels exceeding the target Ritual Monster's level to perform a Ritual Summon for 'Digital Angel' Ritual Monster."
With these words, golden light glimmered from both the pink little angel on her field and Nasadiya.
"I offer Level 2 'Digital Little Angel', Level 5 'Electronic Angel - Nasadiya' on the field as ritual sacrifices! Ritual Summon!
Guard the divine path with sacred power, dispel evil, the angel descends now—
—Level 6, Digitalized Angel - Vajra Heaven, summon!"
The electronic angel with a voluptuous build, emerged as if treading fire in the sacrificial flames, valiantly taking the stage.
[Digitalized Angel - Vajra Heaven, Attack Power 1600]
"When Vajra Heaven is successfully summoned, a Ritual Magic Card can be added to hand from the deck or graveyard."
"Is this angel a stepping stone for further Ritual Summon?"
Silver Meteor shouted sternly.
"That won't do! Trigger cover card, Trap Card - Zero Hole!" (Original Card)
He forcefully pressed a button on the Duel Disc, immediately flipping over the cover card in the backfield.
"Can be activated when the opponent summons, flips summons, or special summons an Effect Monster. That monster's effect is negated and it is destroyed directly!"
