Chapter 54: Fierce Battle: Death Volsgulf Revealed! Part 4
________________________________
The score was now Daniel: 300 and Kai: 1000. Kai had gotten back his Black Paladin after Daniel stole it using a trap card known as Star Face Corruption. Daniel only has his Armor Exe (2400/1400) on the field and Kai has launched an attack.
"This is it! The final attack which will end the King of Games!" Kai thought, his heart pounding.
"Reverse trap card!" Daniel yelled. "Attack Nullification to stop you in your tracks!"
"Darn it...." Kai said, ending his turn.
Daniel drew his next card. Suddenly a smiled came up on his face. It'd probably never happen to him in a 100 years but it has. "Now! It's time!" Daniel yelled.
"What?!" Kai said, taking a step back.
"What's he talking about?" Jess said.
"Now I activate this, Shadow of Demise!" Daniel yelled. "And I equip it to my Armor Exe!"
Suddenly a giant glob of blackness blanketed Armor Exe. Red eyes opened on it's face. "Have you seen this card before?" Mink asked, Jess shook her head.
"This increases Armor Exe's attack power by 300! (2700/1400)" Daniel yelled. "But that's not all it does it puts a card from my deck into my hand. But now I summon it! Guardian Zenkou! (2300/1450)"
"A Guardian?!" Mink and Jess said in shock.
Suddenly inside the hospital, Allen's eyes opened wide. Devon looked in shock at Allen's sudden spark of life. Allen got up and looked around.
"Bakura? Devon? What'd I miss?" Allen asked.
"Umm... Right now Daniel and Kai is dueling on the roof. You go take a look, I'll watch Bakura" Devon said. Allen nodded and ran off.
Suddenly Mink and Jess heard the elevator opened. They turned around and saw Allen. "Allen?! What are you doing here?! You should be in bed!" Jess said.
"Not now... I have to see this..." Allen said walking up to the field. Daniel looked at the corner of his eye.
"Allen! What are you doing here?" Daniel said in shock. Kai looked back and saw him.
"You think I'd miss this? Your kidding right?" Allen joked.
"It's good to see you up" Kai said, giving him a thumbs up.
Everyone saw as Daniel's very own Guardian monster formed onto the field. It was a half human, half Dragon type creature. It had dark blue armor, almost similar to Vice's Grandmaul.
Daniel looked back up on the field. "Guardian Zenkou allows me to move Shadow of Demise to itself! Gaining it 300 attack power! (2600/1450)" Daniel yelled. Suddenly the blackness surrounding Armor Exe moved onto Guardian Zenkou, creating a long black cape.
Guardian Zenkou had two hands loaded with sharp claws, no weapons at all. It seemed the cape was the source of it's power. Allen looked amazed, Daniel actually had a Guardian monster, something like Vice's.
If Vice were there, he'd be shocked as well. "Now! I end my turn!" Daniel announced.
Kai drew his next card. "Your Guardian is still too weak! This chance allows me to berid of all your life points in on attack! Now Black Paladin! Attack and destroy Guardian Zenkou!" Kai yelled.
"I don't think so!" Daniel yelled, holding his two cards in his hand. "By sacrificing my whole hand, I can negate your attack!"
Kai growled, ending his turn.
Daniel drew his next card. "Now! I activate Card Sanctity, allowing us to draw until we have 6 cards in our hands!" Daniel yelled, drawing six cards from his deck. "Now I end my turn!"
Kai drew his next card. "Hmmm.. If i attack him, he'll just use it's effect, destroying his whole hand." He thought. "But unless I had a stronger monster, he's trapped"
"Announce your move!" The judge said.
"Alright, I end my turn from here" Kai announced.
Daniel drew his next card. "Now! I summon Basic Defense Shield in defense mode! (0/1900)" He announced. "Then I end my turn"
It was a dead duel now. Kai couldn't attack unless he had two extra monsters that could beat Daniel's Guardian Zenkou.
Kai drew his next card. "1 monster in defense mode." Kai smiled. "My turn ends"
Daniel drew his next card. "Now! Guardian Zenkou! Attack his defense monster!" Daniel yelled. The guardian jumped at the defense monster, and with one swipe from it's black cape, it was destroyed.
Daniel then ended his turn. Kai growled, his plan failing. He drew his next card and looked at it. "Breaker... What do you do?" He asked looking up at Breaker, The Magic Warrior. The warrior looked down at him. The warrior began to glow a green type of color. "Of course... In it's original effect it gains a Magic Counter, increasing it's attack power. Maybe I can use it differently"
"Well? What's the hold up!" Allen said, impatiently.
"Now! I activate my Deck Master's special effect!" Kai yelled as Breaker held up it's sword. "From the beginning of this duel, Breaker gained a Magic Counter, and now I'll sacrifice it!"
"No!" Daniel said in shock.
Suddenly Breaker held it's sword, pointing at Guardian Zenkou. It then fired a green beam at it's cape, destroying it. "This leave's your monster free for attacking! Now! Black Paladin! Attack and destroy Guardian Zenkou!"
Everyone in the audience gasped, Daniel was now to lose this duel. The Black Paladin jumped at Guardian Zenkou, striking it with it's staff. The guardian had blocked but the attack was too strong and Guardian Zenkou exploded into pieces.
"No!" Allen, Mink, and Jess cried out.
Smoke flew away from the group but Kai and everyone else looked at shock that Daniel's life points still stood at 300.
"What?! I should have won..." Kai said in confusion.
"It's Guardian Zenkou's special effect! It negates any battle damage it takes!" Daniel said. Kai ended his turn.
Daniel drew his next card. Nothing in his hand could help him. Only his Basic Defense Shield which was too weak.
There was only one thing he could rely on, his deck master, Death Volstargaf. Daniel looked up at it and the Demon nodded his head.
"Now! As my last resort! I play Death Volstargaf! (2200/1700)" He announced.
"Last resort... I'm sorry I had to do this..." Kai said in his mind.
"Now! I activate Death Volstargaf's special effect! By sacrificing 200 life points, I can put a special monster card into my hand!" Daniel announced as his deck holster slid out a card from his deck. "And now! I sacrifice Basic Defense Shield to summon Death Volsgulf! (1200/2500 +500)"
"What?!" Kai said in shock as a small and more different version of Death Volstargaf materialized onto the field.
"Death Volsgulf and Death Volstargaf are like brothers and as brothers, they each possess special effects" Daniel said. "When both are on the field, Death Volstargaf gains 2000 attack points while Death Volsgulf gains 500! And with an attack of 3200, your Black Paladin is much weaker! (3400/2400)"
"No!" Kai said in shock.
"Now! Death Volstargaf and Death Volsgulf! Attack Black Paladin, and then his life points directly!" Daniel yelled.
Death Volstargaf unleashed a metallic blue blast at the Black Paladin, destroying it instantly. The Death Volsgulf flew up, next to Death Volstargaf and unleashed a small metallic blue blast at Kai. Kai screamed, trying to break through. The attack died down and Kai's life points reduced to 0.
Kai fell to his knees in regret but it had to happen anyway, someone had to win. He looked up at Daniel and walked over to him. He took out Breaker The Magic warrior from his Field Card Zone and showed it to him.
"Here, you deserve this, it was a great duel." Kai said.
"Yes it was, but I'm not the kind of person who'd take cards from people's decks" He said pushing his hand back. "You keep it."
Kai looked down at the card and smiled. Allen, Mink, and Jess jumped up and stood around them.
"Then it's final! The winner is Daniel!" The judge announced.
"Paul sir, I've been noted that the final winner is Daniel. The Finals will start in 4 hours" The guard announced.
"Thanks for telling me, I'll be down in a few minutes" Paul said. The guard left and Paul turned around. "Finally, Danny-Boy. We'll duel each other and really find out whose King of Games, and dear brother, Darien. I'll get my revenge for what you did. You'll pay"
