The time is finally here.
I've collected the Scroll cards needed to face a Dragon Priest, but I noticed that this Dragon Priest might be just slightly stronger than the others not to mention he is Orichalcos powered and I haven't even talked about the Deck he uses.
Chapter 29.
Water Hazard.
Scroll Cards:
Jack: 7
Leo: 8
Juliet: 7
Norman entered a dark, dank cave, he looked at his eight Scroll Cards.
'Leo I remember in the beginning you gave me the Symphony Djinns, yet you defeated me.'
Norman walked through the cave.
'I've been winning Duels after that day and now I am here.
'Draal!' A loud voice suddenly called and a Dragon Priest appeared from behind a rock.
'You startled me!' Norman shouted.
'I am Nahkriin, you entered my domain, now you die.'
Norman activated his Duel Disk, Nahkriin did the same.
'Krii!' Nahkriin shouted.
Some fifteen minutes later Norman truly was in dire troubles.
Nahkriin's strategy first looked like nothing but then he had drawn out the big guns.
(Nahkriin: 1000) - (Norman: 3300)
(Ante: Dragon Priest Mask) - (Ante: His soul)
Nahkriin had Venom Swamp on his side of the Field, he also controlled Vennominaga the Deity of Poisonous Snakes, she currently had 4500 ATK, it also had two Hyper-Venom Counters and a face-up Final Attack Orders.
Normal controlled a facedown card, he also controlled Maestroke the Symphony Djinn with had 300 ATK and no Xyz Materials and Melomelody the Brass Djinn with 900 ATK, it also had no Xyz Materials.
It was Norman's turn.
'I need to damage you only once and I win by the effect of my Hyper-Venom Counters.' Nahkriin said.
'You won't get the chance!' Normal shouted. 'I activate Call of the Haunted!' Temtempo the Percussion Djinn appeared on the Field. (1700 ATK)
'I control three Djinns now, and that is enough! I sacrifice all three of them!'
Heavy metal filled the cave. 'I summon the lord of heavy metal! Come forth Screamer the Heavy Metal Djinn!'
A wild figure with multicolored spiked hair appeared, it wore rags as trousers and shirt, its body was covered with tattoos and piercings, it carried a large electric guitar in its hands.
One minute later Nahkriin laid on the floor, Normal towered over him.
'Seems beating that exterminator was a smart thing to do, a lot of cards he had were of no use to me, but a few really did do my Deck good.
'Curse... you...' Nahkriin groaned before he exploded in a dark fog, Normal picked up the Mask.
(Nahkriin: 0) - (Norman: 3300)
Jack and the others sat in the large dining room, Mr. Greybeard had made an excellent lunch.
'So Leo today you gonna challenge your Dragon Priest.'
Leo nodded he looked nervous.
'The Dragon priest surely will be dangerous, I cannot do anything to keep you from harm, but I can give you these.' Mr. Greybeard said and he put a suitcase on the table, he opened it maybe a thousand cards were stored inside the suitcase.
'Leo adjust your Deck you can use all the cards you want.'
Leo started to look through the cards.
'Ehm Mr. Greybeard what about us?' Juliet asked.
'Well I cannot help you yet, as long as you still challenge Duelists I may not help you, but Leo gonna fight a unnatural being and so I am able to help him.' The others nodded, around that time Drake and Serana also entered the room followed by Miranda, Jill and Bruce.
'Done.' Leo said half an hour later he had a new Deck.
'Leo now we need to find out where your Duel waits.' Leo took his Elder Scroll and spread it on the table he placed the Scroll Cards on them, a map of the island suddenly appeared and a red dot flashed on Leyawiin.
One hour later Bruce, Jack, Leo, Juliet, Serana and Drake steppe into a mini van, Bruce was driving they were headed straight to Leyawiin.
Errol entered James his room.
'James the last of the regular Dragon priests have been defeated, and the three chosen are heading toward Hevnoraak.
James stood up he chuckled.
'Errol that means the other finalists are save?' Errol nodded.
'Yes and their allies as well, and so are the ones we have chosen for the Sigil Keep.
James turned towards the fireplace, he spread his hands.
'That means the other Duelists we have here are worthless, let the Orichalcos Soldiers rain down on the streets and let the cleansing commence!'
Errol looked out of the window hundreds of Orichalcos Soldiers appeared and they started to run toward the Duelists.
'James one question what about the people living here?'
James turned toward Errol. 'They are safe at least most of them, few of them are Thalmor they are safe, others are siding with the Blades they will be taken, the rest well let's say the Soldiers only attack everyone with a Duel Disk.'
Bruce stopped the van outside the walls of Leyawiin.
This was one of the wealthiest city's on the island, this is where most of the cruise ship personnel lived.
The only thing that stood out was a half sunken church at the docks.
'I'm gonna patrol around the city I bet the Dragon Priest is waiting inside that church Drake, Serana you cannot enter that church it will be a battleground just for Leo and the Dragon Priest.
Jack, Juliet and Leo entered the half sunken church in Leyawiin, Serana and Drake were waiting outside.
'What is this stench?' Juliet said with a scowl.
'That is the smell of half rotten wooden planks.' Leo replied.
The church was build at the sides of the docks, a few years ago a small accident happened, the pillars supporting the church broke and the church sunk half into the docks.
Leo looked at the stairs he felt with his foot.
'Seems sturdy enough.' He mumbled and he descended the rest closely followed, when they reached the bottom they stood to their knees in the water.
'Why did they left that church here?' Juliet wondered.
'I can answer that.' A creepy voice spoke, with a small splash the Dragon Priest landed in the water.
'I am Hevnoraak.' The Dragon Priest spoke.
'I requested this church, it was removed but when I asked Mr. Black to place it here he obliged.'
'Why? Why a church?' Leo snarled, Hevnoraak chuckled.
'I was a powerful Lich, the Dragonborn found out my weakness and destroyed me my soul was still intact, a piece of my soul stayed in that crypt one time a Priest of Arkay came to cleanse the place I managed to take him over for a short time, he brought me to their church where I kept quite, when Errol resurrected me here I decided I wanted to fight in a church.'
Leo scratched his head. 'That the whole reason?' The Dragon Priest nodded.
'Well this is random.' Leo said.
'But my power is not.' Hevnoraak replied and the magic power erupting from your bodies is powerful, this body I now have doesn't work well with my soul and the power I hold.'
Juliet and Jack looked at Leo.
'Mr. Black wanted your soul Leo, he said I was to defeat you and claim your soul, he didn't say anything about the other two, when I'm done with you I'll take on this other boy take his body and then defeat the girl.'
'So this was a set-up?' Leo asked not surprised.
Hevnoraak did not reply, he only activated his Duel Disk.
'Let our cards speak for us.' Leo said.
(Hevnoraak: 8000) - (Leo: 8000)
(Ante: Dragon Priest Mask) - (Ante: His soul)
'I'll start this slaughter.' Hevnoraak said and he drew his first card.
'I set a card facedown.' The Dragon priest said and his card appeared in his Spell/Trap Zone.
'And now a card that is all to familiar to you.' Hevnoraak said and he held up The Seal of Orichalcos and Darkness of the Soul.
The Seal of Orichalcos entered Hevnoraak next it shot out of him, the pentagram covered the whole church.
'Leo do you know what they do with a drunken sailor early in the morning?' Hevnoraak suddenly asked, Leo looked dumbfounded.
'They put him in a longboat till he's sober?' Leo replied, Hevnoraak chuckled. 'They could do it, but this one has no boat as you will see as for I summon the Drunken Canal Boatman!'
An eerie version of the Drunken Sailor suddenly started to play as like someone turned on a radio somewhere, the water started to ripple and a rotting carcass surfaced, it wore something that looked like the rags of a sailor costume, the creature slowly rose to its feet, it had a hole in the chest where its lungs supposed to be a combination of slime, blood and water dripped out of it, the Seal burned on its head. (1000- 1500 ATK)
Leo shivered, Jack almost puked Juliet did puke, Jack slowly turned her around and placed her head against his chest.
'What in the name of oblivion is that thing!' Leo shouted.
'You really don't want to know.' Hevnoraak replied
Leo drew his card.
'Well whatever it is I shall take it down with Dark Valkyria!' Leo shouted and the dark fairy appeared. (1800 ATK)
'Attack that thing!' Dark Valkyria casted a spell it didn't seem to affect the zombie, then it suddenly exploded in a slimy and bloody mess.
(Hevnoraak: 7700) - (Leo: 8000)
Hevnoraak chuckled.
'I must certainly thank you by destroying this monster I can move one of two possible Field Spells to my hand.' Hevnoraak explained and a card slipped from his Deck he took it.
'And now I activate my Trap card! Canal Dam!' The Trap card spun around and a huge dam made of rusty iron rose in the church.
'You activated this card by destroying my monster, this card takes up space in my Field Spell Zone for the time being.' Hevnoraak explained.
Hevnoraak drew his card.
'Let's see I summon Moaning Canal Spirit in attack mode.' A loud moan sounded through the church and a half corpse surfaced, a white soul appeared out of it. (2200- 2700 ATK)
'Isn't that a bit high for a monster with less than five Levels?' Leo asked.
'Because he comes with an effect, only when he is special summoned he can keep his attack points when he is normal summoned all of his attack points are gone and I must destroy a card.'
The Moaning Canal Spirit lost all of its points, Hevnoraak pointed at the dam and cracks started to appear.
'By destroying my own dam I made the way for a Field Spell! The Rotten Canal!'
The dam broke and dirty water washed into the church, a dock appeared where the Duelists stood on, on the dock dead bodies laid spread, a terrible stench hung in the air, the water was greenish and filled with body bags, body parts and dead rats.
'This is disgusting! What is it with the dead bodies? And that stench?'
Hevnoraak did not reply.
'Leo for you to know, this Field Spell came from my Deck and I still have one in my hand, I activate Murky Water!'
Some mud and other dirt appeared in the canal.
'You see this Field Spell replaces the Rotten Canal but the card still is treated as Rotten Canal with the same effects.' Hevnoraak explained.
'And now I tribute my Moaning Canal Spirit and summon a new monster in facedown attack position, that is the effect of Murky Water.'
A shadow appeared under the water Leo couldn't see it.
'My monster attacks!' Suddenly a monster that much looked like a mutated reptile, human, zombie combination appeared it dragged Dark Valkyria under.
(Hevnoraak: 7700) - (Leo: 7400)
Leo drew his card. 'So I lost 600 Life Points assuming the Orichalcos affects your monster that means he has a base attack score of 1900, powered up to 2400.' Leo mumbled.
'So you figured out the strength of my monster, since he is under water you cannot attack him.'
'It is time I show you guys the new additions to my Deck.' Leo said.
'I summon Goggle Golem!'
A muscular man made of stone appeared, he wore trousers and a set of goggles. (1500 ATK)
'If that thing is a new addition to your Deck and it is weak like that, I don't want to know what Deck you had before you came here.' Hevnoraak sneered.
'I set a card facedown and end my turn.' Leo continued completely ignoring Hevnoraak.
'My turn.' The Dragon Priest stated and he drew his card.
'I'll add more to my offense, my Mutated Canal Fish.' A new shadow appeared below the dirty water of the canal.
'Raptor attack!' Hevnoraak shouted.
'Go Kunai With Chain!' The grapple hook shot into the water and pulled the reptilian creature on the docks, it was much shaped like a crocodile with a human head and crocodile jaws, it had very large claws, a slimy substance dripped from its seemingly rotting body. (500 DEF)
Goggle Golem grabbed the other end of the grappling hook. (2000 ATK)
'So you stranded my Canal Raptor? Well my Fish is strong enough!'
A huge fish leaped out of the water, its body was covered with bones, or rather its scales had disappeared you could see the entrails of the fish, it resembled in piranha, the fish opened its huge jaws and bit Goggle Golem in half.
(Hevnoraak: 7700) - (Leo: 6500)
Leo drew his card he had a worried look in his eyes.
'I cannot believe Industrial Illusions released these cards, they are broken as hell, I mean I cannot even attack these facedown attack position monsters!'
Hevnoraak chuckled. 'O but Industrial Illusions didn't release these cards, they are custom made, regards to Errol Black-Heart.'
'Thanks for letting me know, using illegal cards! I declare this Duel is over!' Leo drew his sword pointing it at the Dragon Priest.
'Now would you? My magic is still fearsome in combat, I advice you to over think your actions.'
'Damn.' Leo muttered and he sheathed his sword.
'Good choice.' The Dragon Priest said.
'In that case I find a way to break your combination! I summon Infinity Dark!' Leo shouted, a Fiendish warrior wearing pitch-black armor appeared on the Field. (1500 ATK)
'Next I use Monster Reborn and Double Summon!' Leo shouted and played the two cards.
'Monster Reborn brings back Dark Valkyria!'
The dark fairy reappeared on the Field again. (1800 ATK)
'And with Double Summon I Gemini Summon Infinity Dark!'
The Fiend started to glow.
'Look when Infinity Dark is Gemini Summoned when he attacks I can change the position of a face-up monster you control.'
'Infinity Dark attack Raptor!' The Fiend heaved his sword.
'I change the Battle Position of your Fish!'
The ugly fish surfaced, its attack halved (1200- 1700 ATK)
Then it changed to defense position. (900 DEF)
'Heh.' Leo chuckled. 'Figures, your monsters might stand in facedown attack position, but that position does not exist in fact your monster is just hiding in the water you call it facedown attack position but that is just a ruse. Now Dark Valkyria kill his fish!' The dark magic surrounded the Fish finally it exploded.
Hevnoraak slowly drew his card.
'So you managed to take out my monsters, not that I care.'
Hevnoraak placed a card and it appeared facedown.
'Now I summon the Rat Piper in attack mode.'
A young looking man appeared, he wore a beak-shaped mask, a black cloak he carried a flute in his hand. (1000- 1500 ATK)
'That monster looks like a plague doctor, the mask contains medicine that stops the plague.' Leo muttered.
'So that is the general idea here, the dirty canal, the dead bodies, the dead rats, the rotten zombies and the stench, this is supposed to be infected with the plague.'
Hevnoraak laughed. 'You do know what brings the plague? I activate the Rat Infection Field Spell, it works like Murky Water.' Hevnoraak swapped his Field Spell and hundreds of rats appeared everywhere, the Rat Piper started to play his tune and nine rats appeared around him. (0 DEF x9)
'These are nine Rat Tokens, my Field is constantly covered with Rat Tokens, and my Piper gains 200 extra attack points for each Rat Token.
(3300 ATK)
'Now I swap my Rat Piper with a Rat Token.' The Rat Piper stepped to the back and the Rat Token stepped to the front.
'Rat Piper attack Dark Valkyria! Hypnotizing Song!'
The Rat Piper started to play Dark Valkyria covered her eyes, but the music pierced her soul.
'I end my turn with a facedown card.' Hevnoraak stated and a second reversed card appeared.
(Hevnoraak: 7700) - (Leo: 5000)
Leo drew his card.
'I'm gonna wipe out your whole Field with this!'
Infernity Dark disappeared. 'I summon Grasschopper!' The fiendish warrior disappeared and a gigantic praying mantis appeared on the Field. (2350 ATK)
'Next I activate Supervise on Grasschopper so he gains its effect!'
Grasschopper started to glow.
'Now it can attack all monsters you control.' Leo grinned
Grasschopper started to rush across the Field he cut down all the rats, the Rat Piper dropped to its attack score of 1500, the Grasschopper cut it down as well.
(Hevnoraak: 6850) - (Leo: 5000)
'I end my turn with a facedown card.' Leo said and the card appeared on the Field.
'Before you end your turn a small effect from Rat Piper goes in effect.'
Hevnoraak spread his arms and a Spell card appeared.
'You mentioned that the mast held medicine to stop the plague, well the mask of Rat Piper contained The Plague!' Hevnoraak pointed at his Spell card.
Hevnoraak drew his card.
'Now the rats return!'Hevnoraak shouted and ten rats appeared on his side of the Field. (0- 1000 ATK)
'I'll make and end to it! Dust Tornado on your Field Spell!'
Hevnoraak chuckled. 'I was prepared go Seven Tools of the Bandit!'
(Hevnoraak: 5850) - (Leo: 5000)
'One of Hevnoraak's Trap cards spun around and Dust Tornado exploded.
'And finally the facedown card that completes my strategy.' Hevnoraak said and his Trap card spun around. 'Drowned Bodies! All monsters from both Graveyards are sent under the canal, they stay there and during each End Phase our Graveyards are emptied.
Leo scratched his head.
'This monster needs and empty Graveyard because it feeds on plague infected bodies, Dark Soul of the Canal come forth!'
One of the rats disappeared, a new monster appeared hidden beneath the canal.
'Normally I cannot summon monsters when plague infected rats are on my side of the Field but my new monster is an exception, my Dark Soul chew on Grasschopper!'
A huge tentacle appeared out of the water it dragged the insect under.
(Hevnoraak: 5850) - (Leo: 3850)
'Dark Soul has 3500 attack points that is with the Orichalcos and when he destroys a monster Dark Soul can attack again directly with half of its attack points!'
This time the real creature leaped out of the water, a fish-like creature with six tentacles and two mouths, it also had small legs, it spewed its plague infected breath at Leo, he felt like he was choking.
(Hevnoraak: 5850) - (Leo: 2100)
'My Supervise was send to my Graveyard so I get to summon a Normal Monster!' In a flash of light Grasschopper reappeared. (2350 ATK)
'And this is where The Plague kicks in you summoned a monster so your monster loses 200 attack points for each rat I have.' Hevnoraak explained, Grasschopper became sick he fell to the ground. (550 ATK)
'You gout lucky there, if that monster had 0 attack points left it would have been destroyed and you would have taken damage equal to the attack of your monster, now I end my turn.' Hevnoraak said.
Leo slowly drew his card.
Something tells me if I destroy his Trap card Drowned Bodies I would get all my monsters back, that would be rather useful but I need a card in my hand to use this card and my hand is currently empty.
'I set this.' Leo said and his reversed card appeared.
'I change my Grasschopper to defense turn end.'
Grasschopper knelt down (1000 DEF)
Hevnoraak drew his card.
'You won one turn, Dark Soul attack his Grasschopper!' The tentacle shot out of the water dragging the insect under again.
'Direct attack!' Hevnoraak shouted and the beast exhumed its putrid breath on Leo again.
(Hevnoraak: 5850) - (Leo: 350)
Leo drew his card.
'It will all depend on my hunch now! I activate Raigeki Break!'
Leo discarded his card, lightning struck Drowned Bodies.
'NO!' Hevnoraak shouted, the bodies of the monsters kept under it came up, the monster Leo had surfaced on his side on the Field, they were all rotten now, the rats stayed away from them.
the bodies of Hevnoraak's monsters surfaced on his side.
'No because of the rats I cannot control other monsters! My Dark Soul being an exception! Damn it! My rats will consume my monsters and I will take damage!' With an unholy scream from the Dragon Priest the Seal of Orichalcos started to burst and it exploded
(Hevnoraak: 0) - (Leo: 350)
'You shall not leave.' Hevnoraak hissed, he held a broken Orichalcos Stone in his hand.
'Dir!' Hevnoraak screamed and he hurled a large fire-ball at the direction of Leo.
'Iiz Slen Nus!' Jack suddenly shouted a blast of ice shot forth from him the fireball was destroyed and Hevnoraak froze, the Dragon Priest fell to the ground and scattered, Leo picked up the Dragon Priest Mask.
'Wow Jack, that was the first time I saw you using a shout, I didn't knew you could do that.' The three turned around and they saw Bruce Serana and Drake closely followed.
'Why are you here?' Jack asked.
'Dire news the Orichalcos Soldiers are unleashed, they prowl the island taking out all the remaining Duelists in the tournament, they also force the finalists and their allies to the Sigil Keep, I found Serana and Drake fighting the Soldiers we barely got away.'
Next time:
Now that the rest of the Duelists are being hunted James Black just want us to become finalists, how can I be sure? No Orichalcos Soldier has attacked us.
But one problem for Juliet is finding an opponent unless an opponent finds her, this man is a member of the Thalmor and a vampire.
'Blood Curse.' Coming next.
