Chapter 76: Power of Obelisk: Demonic Obelisk, Part 4

________________________________

The score stood at Darien: 100 and Paul: 2850. Paul had finally destroyed one of Darien's powerful monsters, Blood Diablos. But within their legend, there was a second demon. Darien would soon summon it.

"Now! I end my turn!" Paul announced. Paul had his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800) while Darien had his Black Deity in defense mode (0/3400)

Darien smiled at the card he had drawn. "Now! I activate this, Tower of Obelisk!" He yelled. "And in doing so, I sacrifice my Black Deity!" The Obelisk Tower began to rumble and shake. Pieces of it were falling off, onto the ground. The tower slowly formed into the horrible menace. "I summon the almighty Demonic Obelisk! (4000/4000)"

"Obelisk?!" Paul said in shock as the monster, similar to God of Obelisk loomed over the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

"Yes! This great beast is unstoppable!" Darien yelled. "Now my Obelisk Staff! Give my Demonic Obelisk what he needs!"

Darien laughed, sacrificing is own power to make his monster even more stronger. Suddenly Demonic Obelisk started to glow a dark purple. It's attack points increased to 8000. This duel wasn't about holograms now. The Obelisk Darien controlled was real and one direct attack from it could end Paul, forever.

Paul growled at the beast. "I can't lose..." He growled.

"Now Demonic Obelisk! Clear his field of his monsters!" Darien yelled.

The giant demon lifted it's fist with talons sticking out of his knuckles. He then slammed his fist down, sending a giant wave of dark matter at the three headed dragon, destroying it. "No..." Paul said.

"Now Demonic Obelisk! Attack his life points directly!" Darien yelled, opening his arms. "This duel is mine!"

"Not so fast! I activate my trap card, Life Protection!" Paul yelled as his trap card flipped up. Demonic Obelisk slammed his fist down at Paul, creating dust everywhere. As the dust cleared, Paul remained safe in a barrier.

"No!" Darien yelled with anger. His attack for victory failed.

"My life points are safe for three more turns!" Paul yelled.

"Then you have exactly three turns to do something that's actually worth something!" Darien laughed. He then ended his turn.

Paul drew his next card. "Now! I play a monster in defense mode! I then end my turn!" He announced.

"What a pathetic move." Darien smirked. "Now! Demonic Obelisk destroy his monster!"

Demonic Obelisk crushed the monster with it's fist. The monster was Magician of Faith. "Magician of Faith allows me to return a magic card to my hand!" Paul yelled as his graveyard slot slid out a card. Paul took it and added it to his hand.

"Whatever, my turn ends." Darien said. "That's one turn down."

Paul drew his next card. "I need something good..." Paul said. He felt his heart race. He couldn't lose now. "I set a card face down and then I summon Flaver Dragon! (1200/1100) In defense mode! Flaver Dragon also allows me to summon another dragon so I summon Glade Dragon in defense mode! (1800/1600) My turn ends!"

Darien drew his next card. "Demonic Obelisk! Attack and destroy his Glade Dragon!" Darien yelled. The giant demon crushed the dragon with it's fist. "My turn ends"

Paul drew his next card. "It's only one more turn before he can get to my life points. But I need to keep up my defense." Paul thought. "Now! I summon Spectral Dragon in defense mode! (1000/1000) My turn ends!"

"Now! Obelisk attack and destroy his Spectral Dragon!" Darien yelled. Obelisk once again destroyed one more of Paul's monsters.

Things were looking down as Darien ended his turn. Paul knew without any good cards he wouldn't be able to win. Paul fell to his knees, facing defeat. He couldn't do anything.

"I knew the pressure would break you up, brother. I am and will always be the stronger one." Darien smirked.

"I failed everyone... Especially my self... Crawford was right... I'm sorry, father" Paul said.

"Father..." Darien said in shock. Suddenly his dark eyes started to turn normal but the evil inside fought it. "How dare you mention him! I will kill you for this...."

Paul drew his next card, knowing it was useless anyway. Suddenly the Millennium Rod began to glow. His heart felt a little warm. He looked up at Darien with firey eyes. "Your not my brother...." He growled. "Your just controlling him like a puppet! Your are the real Faust, Faust Deiata!"

"Yeah so what! I'm going to win anyway!" Darien laughed.

Paul looked at the card he drew, it was the card that had came to him a few weeks ago. The kind Allen and Daniel had. A name was beginning to embed onto the card.

Paul read it. "Nameless Warrior...." He said.

Darien looked at his glowing cards. "What?! What is that!" He said in horror, blocking his eyes from the light.

"Now! I activate Oath To The World!" Paul yelled, putting the card onto his duel xero. "And to do so, I sacrifice my Flaver Dragon!"

Suddenly streams of paper with Chinese writing started flying around, wrapping up Flaver Dragon and forming it into a new monster. Paul felt his power increase as he felt heavy armor form onto him. A long wide sword appeared and he gripped it.

"I am the Nameless Warrior (2300/1200)." He said, looking at Darien with an angry glare.

"So what, you still can't defeat me!" Darien laughed.

"Because I used Flaver Dragon as my sacrifice I can re-summon any Dragon Type monsters in both graveyards! There is no limit to space!" Paul yelled, pointed his sword in the air.

Suddenly orbs of light started coming down from the tip, spilling onto Paul's field. Spear Dragon appeared, then Glade Dragon, Spectral Dragon, Flaver Dragon, Emerald Dragon, Sapphire Dragon, all 3 of Paul's Blue Eyes White Dragon, and then his Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

Paul looked at his hand. "Now! I activate this magic card, Brave Attack. This allows me to sacrifice monsters to do damage to your Demonic Obelisk!" He yelled. "Now go! Flaver Dragon, Spear Dragon, Emerald Dragon, Glade Dragon, Spear Dragon, and Spectral Dragon!"

All the dragons Paul called out dove at the Demonic Obelisk. Each throwing him down and destroying it. "No! My demon! How could you!" Darien said in shock and panic. "The staff! It's destroyed! No!"

"Now! Blue Eyes White Dragons and Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon attack and destroy him..." Paul yelled, pointing at Darien.

The 4 dragons each blasted their lightning blast at Darien. Darien let out a long wail as he flew into no where.

Suddenly the world around him faded away. He was back at the battle field. The moon shined down at him. He looked at his two new cards, Oath To The World and Nameless Warrior. He didn't feel a thing but he knew something was up.

The judge saw that Darien was gone. "Paul is the winner!" He said.

"Good..." Vice smiled from the watch room. Vice and Paul were to duel, to see who would be Deck Master Champion, and King of Games. Vice had taken Daniel's half of the title of King of Games. Both would clash, one would walk out with the title of King of Games.
