Chapter 59: Tower of Power Part 4

Reaching the top of the stairwell, the group found their next opponent: A White Night Dragon, who created an icy gust of wind with his massive wings, making them all shiver.

"I applaud your efforts for making it this far, travelers, but this is where your journey ends."

Atticus stepped forward, duel disk armed and ready.

"We'll see about that, Frosty!"

GAME ON!

Atticus: 8000

WND: 8000

"I'll start things off with one monster face down, and another card face down. Your move, snow cone."

"You'd do well to show me respect, boy! I'll begin with Gene-Warped Warped Warwolf in attack mode! Pound his weakling monster into paste!"

The frenzie werewolf pounced, revealing his opponent to The Dragon Dwelling Within the Cave (1300/2000), who repelled the werewolf with a slap of its wing.

"A tie? Interesting. I'll set one card face down, and activate the spell card Infinite Cards! Now we can have as many cards in our hands as we wish. I end my turn."

"Man, what a boring start to the duel. Time to heat things up, and I know just how to do it. I'll tribute my current dragon to summon Des Volstgalph (2200/1700)! Next, I activate Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your face down!"

The windstorm kicked up, ripping the set Mirror Force to shreds.

"And since a Quick-Play Spell was used, my Dragon gets an extra 200 points for the turn (2200-2400). Now Volsgaph, attack his Warwolf!"

WND: 7600

"Not only that, but because he destroyed a monster in battle, you lose an extra 500 life points."

WND: 7100

"And next, I activate Call of the Haunted to bring back my Dragon Dwelling in the Cave! Attack him directly!"

WND: 5800

"I end my turn with one card face down."

"Don't think you've won just yet! I summon Blizzard Dragon (1800/1000)! Put his monster on ice!"

The frozen dragon let out an icy breath, covering Des Volstgalph in a thick fog. When it had subsided, Atticus's dragon had been turned into an ice sculpture!

"Hey, what gives?"

"My Dragon's special ability lets me put a freeze on one of your monsters. Now until my next turn, it can't attack or change his battle position!"

"Ah man, if Atticus can't get rid of it he'll just do it again!" Syrus moaned.

"Blizzard Dragon, attack his Cave Dweller!"

The icy dragon let loose another icy blast, this time encasing Atticus's dragon in an ice cube before it shattered.

Atticus: 7500

"I end my turn there."

"Impressive, but I can do you one better! I'll start with Card of Sanctity to fill my hand. Next, I activate the ritual spell card Red Eyes Transmigration! Now I'll tribute Des Volstgalph and Decoy Dragon to summon Lord of the Red!

The flames once again enveloped Atticus, forming into his armor.

"Next, I'll activate Premature Burial to bring back Des Volstgalph!

Atticus: 6700

"And since I activated a card, Lord of the Red lets me take out your Blizzard Dragon!"

Atticus brought his hands together, creating a shuriken made out of flames which he used to launch at the enemy dragon, cutting it in half.

"Now my Volstgalph and I will attack you directly!"

White Night Dragon shielded himself as Atticus and his other monster pounced, Atticus punching him with a fire covered fist while Volstgalph shot a beam of dark energy at him.

WND: 1200

"I'll end my turn there."

"And so shall begin the end of you! I'll start with Polymerization, fusing my Blade Skater and Etoile Cyber to fusion summon Cyber Blader (2100-4200)! Now Cyber Blader, attack Lord of the red!"

The cybernetic dancer twirled over to Atticus before roundhouse kicking him right in he face, shattering his armor and forcing him off the field.

Atticus: 4900

"I'll end my turn with one card face down. Had enough, yet?"

"Not quite. I'll start with Cost Down! Now by discarding one card, all of the monsters in my hand get their levels reduced by 2, meaning I can now summon Felgrand Dragon just by tributing my Volstgalph! Now I-"

"I activate my trap card, Frozen Soul! Since I'm at least 2000 life points behind you, your battle phase is over before it even began!"

Atticus growled, having nothing else he could do.

"I end my turn."

"Prepare yourself mortal, for your quest ends here! First, I'll activate Premature Burial to bring back Blizzard Dragon!"

WND: 400

"Oh no, not again!"

"Don't worry, your friend won't have to put up with my dragon's effect again."

Syrus breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because I'm tributing him for something far stronger! I'll sacrifice my Blader and my Blizzard Dragon in order to summon myself, White Night Dragon (3000/2500)! Now I'll attack your Felgrand Dragon!"

White Night Dragon began to flap its wings, creating large, freezing gusts of wind that tore Atticus's monster to shreds.

Atticus: 4700

"I end my turn. Scared yet?"

"Why would I be? I'm about to win! I summon Troop Dragon (700/900) in defense mode!"

"So what? I have far more attack points!"

"It doesn't matter since I activate the spell card Dragon's Gunfire! Since i have a Dragon on my field, you take 800 points of damage!"

"What? No!"

"Yes!"

White Night Dragon roared in fear as the fireball hit, creating a small explosion that rocked the building. When the dust settled, he was nowhere to be seen.

WND: 0000

"Come on, let's get going."

"Right!"
