Chapter 24: First Strike: Wrath of The Dice, Part 3

______________________________

The score stood at Daniel: 3400 and Devon: 2500. Daniel fought through Devon's new game, Dungeon Dice Field. Although Devon's advantage struck, destroying some of Daniel's stronger monsters. But then Devon's magic card turned against him, placing his Graud Gil Gars into defense mode, letting Daniel play Defense Apocalypse, destroying Graud Gil Gars once and for all.

"The tides of this duel have changed, you'll have to pick another monster or I'll wipe your life points away" Daniel grinned.

Devon had his Bound Trap up (800/2800). Although it's defense was stronger than Daniel's Buster Blader, he knew there was a chance that the dice would look up to him.

"Now! I place a card face down and end my turn! "Devon yelled.

Daniel drew his next card. "Now! Dice Roll!" Daniel yelled as the dice flipped into the air.

"Reverse trap card!" Devon yelled. "Magic Bomber! To destroy my own Dungeon Dice Field!"

"Shoot..." Daniel said as the dice exploded and the Dice Grid disappeared. He looked at his hand. "Now! I play The King of Mythical Beast, Gazelle in defense mode! (1500/1200). I'll also place a card face down and end my turn!"

Devon drew his next card and smiled. "Draw!" He yelled, pulling his next card. He felt the Orichalcos Seal side with him. The drew the one card he needed. "Now! I sacrifice Bound Trap to summon Angel Dice! (0/0 +500) This automatically puts one special card from my deck into my hand"

Devon took the card that slid out of his deck holster and smiled. "Wait that monster looks familiar..." Daniel said, a bit nervous for what he had planned. He then recognized the angel from the magic card, Graceful Dice. "I never knew that was made into a monster..."

"I place a card face down and end my turn!" Devon announced.

"Ok...." Daniel said. He then drew his next card. "Now! Buster Blader! Attack and destroy Angel Dice!"

"Not so fast!" Devon smiled. "I activate Negate Attack which will negate your attack and end your battle phase!"

"Well... Let's see what you have, I end my turn!" Daniel announced.

"Alright...." Devon smiled as he drew his next card. He smiled at the card he drew. "Now! I play Summoning Dice! By sacrificing 1000 life points (DE: 1000) I can roll a dice to special summon a monster from my hand, depending on the level and number"

"I see...." Daniel said as the magic card threw out the dice. It began to roll and came to a stop, landing on 6. "No!"

"Yes! Now I special summon Devil Dice! (0/0 +500)" Devon yelled as the demon appeared, holding a dice.

"I should have known, Devil Dice is just like Skull Dice" He thought. Suddenly both Angel Dice and Devil Dice began to glow.

"When both monsters are on the same field, I can roll a dice and depending on the number, their attack points increase by the number times by 1000" Devon laughed. "Now my monsters! Combine your dice and roll!"

Both Devil and Angel threw their dice together, forming a white die and it began to fall. It rolled and rolled and stopped on 4.

"No! This means that both of their monsters will increase by 4000" Daniel said in shock as both Devil and Angel dice grew to 4500.

"Now! Devil Dice! Attack and destroy Buster Blader!" Devon announced.

The demon threw it's dice into the air. The dice began to float and spin around violently, letting off black spheres at the warrior, destroying it. Daniel's life points reduced to 1500.

"Now! Angel Dice! Attack and destroy Gazelle!" Devon yelled again. The Angel Dice did the same attack pattern as Devil Dice, destroying Gazelle.

"Next turn, you'll be over!" Devon laughed as he ended his turn.

Daniel drew his next card. Suddenly he got a major plan. "Heh, that's what you think!" He yelled.

"Yeah, that's what I think" Devon smirked.

"Now! I activate Pot of Greed to draw to cards!" Daniel announced. "Now! I play Monster Reborn to bring back The King of Mythical Beasts, Gazelle! (1500/1200)"

Suddenly Devon burst out laughing. "What a weak move! You could have atleast summoned back a stronger monster!" He said.

"Your looking at half of it!" Daniel smiled.

"What?!" Devon said in shock.

"Now! I play Polymerization to fuse Baffomet, from my hand, and Gazelle into Winged Beast, Chimera! (2100/1800)" Daniel announced as the beast materialized onto the field. Devon was still confused but Daniel wasn't over yet. "Now! To win this duel I add this magic card, Inner Rage of The Beast!"

"What?!" Devon said shocked. Suddenly Winged Beast, Chimera started to glow red. It's eyes were glowing red, and steam began to emerge from it's nostrils.

"This magic card is the ultimate for any beast type of monster! By sacrifice 1000 life points (DA: 500) I can increase Chimera's attack by 3000! (5100/1800)" He yelled.

"Heh, what chance do you have. You have only one monster and I'll just defeat you so easily!" Devon laughed.

"Your wrong! Inner Rage of The Beast allows me Chimera to attack each of your monsters. And when one of your Dice monsters are destroyed, the other loses all it's attack points! Now I pass into my Battle Phase!" Daniel yelled

"No! This can't happen!" Devon said in shock.

"Now! Winged Beast, Chimera! Attack and destroy Devil Dice!" Daniel yelled pointing at the monster. The beast dove at the Devil Dice, destroying it in one swipe of it's paw. Devon growled as his life points reached 400. "Now! Chimera! Attack again at Angel Dice! (500/500)"

"Noooo!" Devon yelled as Chimera dove again at the Dice Monster, destroying it and reducing Devon's life points to 0.

Suddenly the Orichalcos Seal began to respond to the loss and circled Devon only. He began to scream as the pain of his soul getting taken away. The seal had finished it's job and disappeared. Devon fell to the ground, lifeless.

Daniel fell to his knees, tired. Mink ran over and helped him. "That was great...." She said.

"It was a tough battle... We fought through it" Daniel smiled. Suddenly his deck began to glow and Descending Sword and Emoriel Breaker floated out infront of them.

"Looks like they agree too" Mink said.

"Yeah, good thing I didn't have to use them..." Daniel said taking deep breaths.
