Chapter 60 - CHAPTER 60: Kisaragi Gets Serious

"My opening is only just beginning," Kisaragi said, activating another card. "From my hand, I activate the Field Spell Floowandereeze and the Magnificent Map!"

The entire field shifted into a childlike, crayon-drawn map.

"I activate Magnificent Map's effect: I reveal a Level 1 Floowandereeze monster in my hand, then banish from my Deck one Floowandereeze card with a different name than the revealed monster—then I Normal Summon the revealed monster!"

"I reveal Floowandereeze × Bald Eagle, banish Floowandereeze × Robin from my Deck, and then Normal Summon Floowandereeze × Bald Eagle!"

A white eagle descended onto Kisaragi's field.

Floowandereeze × Bald Eagle (800/1000)

"I activate Bald Eagle's effect: if this card is Normal Summoned, I can add one Level 7 or higher Winged Beast monster from my Deck to my hand. Then I can Normal Summon one Winged Beast monster."

"At this moment, I activate the effects of Robin and Ostrich!" Kisaragi continued. "While banished, if a Winged Beast is Normal Summoned to my field, I can add these cards back to my hand!"

"Therefore, both cards return to my hand!"

"And since a card was banished, Soul Absorption restores 500 Life Points—then because of Flame Princess, you take another 500 damage!"

Flame Princess launched another fireball straight into Keith.

Kisaragi Aoi LP: 5000 → 5500

Keith Howard LP: 3000 → 2500

"Damn it…!" Keith snarled.

"From Bald Eagle's effect, I add Floowandereeze × Empen from my Deck to my hand. Then from my hand, I Normal Summon Floowandereeze × Robin!"

Floowandereeze × Robin (600/1200)

"I activate Robin's effect: on Normal Summon, I add one Level 4 or lower Winged Beast monster from my Deck to my hand—then I can Normal Summon one Winged Beast."

"I add Floowandereeze × Toucan to my hand—then I tribute Bald Eagle and Robin, and Normal Summon Floowandereeze × Empen from my hand!"

Floowandereeze × Empen (2700/1000)

"And remember," Kisaragi said with a mocking smile, "when Floowandereeze monsters leave the field, they don't go to the Graveyard—they're banished. You know what that means is coming next."

"...Tch!" Keith's expression darkened.

"Because of Soul Absorption, I recover another 1000 Life Points—then due to Flame Princess, you take 500 damage!"

Kisaragi Aoi LP: 5500 → 6500

Keith Howard LP: 2500 → 2000

"I activate Empen's effect: if this card is Tribute Summoned, I can add one Floowandereeze Spell/Trap from my Deck to my hand!"

"I add Floowandereeze and the Unexplored Winds to my hand."

"And I activate the banished Bald Eagle's effect—I can add it back to my hand!"

"Then I activate the Continuous Spell Unexplored Winds, set two cards, and end my turn!" (Cards in hand: 3)

"Kisaragi's opening is still overwhelming," Yami Yugi said with a grin.

"Yeah," Mai nodded. "Keith is basically finished the moment he summons a monster."

This kid… she's way stronger than I expected. I'd better be careful, Keith thought, jaw tight.

"My turn—draw!"

"I Normal Summon Barrel Dragon in attack position!"

Barrel Dragon (1700/200)

"At that moment, I activate the Field Spell Magnificent Map's effect!" Kisaragi snapped in instantly.

"What?!" Keith barked.

"This effect activates when your monster is successfully summoned—I can Normal Summon one Floowandereeze monster!"

"I summon Floowandereeze × Bald Eagle!"

Floowandereeze × Bald Eagle (800/1000)

"Then I activate Bald Eagle's effect and add Simorgh, Bird of Sovereignty from my Deck to my hand!"

"And I activate the banished Robin's effect—returning it to my hand!"

"Now, because Unexplored Winds is on my Spell/Trap Zone: when performing a Tribute Summon that normally requires two tributes, I can instead send one monster I control and one card my opponent controls to the Graveyard!"

"What?!" Keith's face twisted.

"I send my Bald Eagle and your Barrel Dragon—and Tribute Summon from my hand: Simorgh, Bird of Sovereignty!"

A violent gale tore across Kisaragi's field. A massive, emerald-green bird appeared, crowned and adorned with jewelry—regal, imposing, and untouchably proud.

Simorgh, Bird of Sovereignty (2700/1000)

"You Tribute Summoned a boss monster on my turn?!" Keith shouted.

"Oh—almost forgot," Kisaragi said coolly. "Bald Eagle was banished again, so Soul Absorption heals me for 500—and Flame Princess burns you for 500."

Kisaragi Aoi LP: 6500 → 7000

Keith Howard LP: 2000 → 1500

"Tch… I set one card. Turn end!" Keith snapped.

"At the end of the turn," Kisaragi said, "I activate Simorgh's effect: at the end of either player's turn, both players take 1000 damage!"

"What?!" Keith jolted.

"But that damage can be reduced by the Spell/Trap cards each player controls—each Spell/Trap reduces the damage by 500."

The storm howled. Kisaragi's spells and traps shielded her from the worst of it.

"Then I only take 500 damage this turn!" Keith said quickly.

"No," Kisaragi replied, flipping a card with a razor-thin smile. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell Mystical Space Typhoon. I destroy that set card."

Keith's facedown card shattered—leaving him exposed to the full force of Simorgh's end-phase punishment.

Keith Howard LP: 1500 → 500

The arena fell dead silent. The only sounds were the screaming wind around Simorgh… and Bandit Keith's miserable howl.
