"Oh no, " said Bridget.
"Dark Eradicator Warlock, attack Bridget's Life Points directly with Shadow Orb Assault!" exclaimed Bianka.
Dark Eradicator Warlock used his left hand to create and fire a large ball of dark energy at Bridget, causing her to twitch and fall to her knees.
Bianka: 5,900
Bridget: 0000
Melody: 7,450
The monsters and the field instantly vanished. Every card remaining on the Duel Disks were removed and were placed back into Bianka's, Bridget's and Melody's decks. They unplugged their Duel Disks from the arena's controls.
"Based on the remaining Life Points on both of our competitors, our final semifinalist is Melody Chambers from South America, " said Jasmine.
The crowd applauded and cheered.
"You both are really exceptional players, " said Bridget.
"Thanks. You should be proud of yourself, Melody, " said Bianka as she shook Melody's hand.
"Don't count yourself out. You definitely know how to use your cards effectively, " said Melody as she shook Bianka's hand.
All three women left the arena, but only Melody and Bianka headed up to the balcony.
"May I have your attention please?" asked Jasmine.
Everyone immediately quieted down and turned toward Jasmine.
"Congratulations to our four semifinalists. There is one round left in our tournament. For this portion, we have decided that all four will duel simultaneously, " said Jasmine.
"Four will enter the battle royale, but one will make it out to challenge us for the crown of Queen of Games, " said Rose.
"Tonight, get some rest and prepare your decks. The finals will begin promptly at 10 A.M. tomorrow morning, " said Lily. "Good luck to you all."
