" I activate pot of greed!"
I slammed down the card onto my duel disk, more motivated than ever.
A green pot appeared on to the field with several cards popping out its hole.
"This card allows me to draw 2 more cards from deck." I exclaimed.
"~Whatever…." She chortled.
I rolled my eyes and drew two cards.
(Yes!) A sweet bell went off in my head as I saw that I had drawn two very good cards.
(Riryoku and Cosmic Counter.) Riryoku could half the attack of one monster and give it to another and Cosmic Counter was a trap card that could summon a more powerful monster when my opponent did so. If I used both of these cards in conjunction, I could bring myself one step closer to victory.
"This is the move of my heart! I activate Riryoku!" The card activated and appeared on the field.
"This card allows me to halve one of your monsters atk points and then add the halved attack points to my monsters!" I exclaimed.
"What a…. Complicated effect." The ghoul snarled.
"It's not that complicated…." I murmured.
On the field, A yellow stream of energy came from the spell card.
"I select your deathstalker warrior and my meteorite Philosopher!" It inserted itself into the ghoul's monster and suck the energy out of it. The yellow stream then merged itself with my meteorite Philosopher, who gained the attack power of the warrior.
Deathstalker Warrior
Atk: 1250
Meteorite Philosopher
Atk: 2250
"Now Meteorite Philosopher's ability will activate!" I exclaimed.
"A combo…."
"Yep! When his attack points are changed, I can add a spell card from my deck! Numero!"
I took my deck out of the duel disk and searched through it. My hands got a bit raspy looking through the cards but nonetheless, I found the one I was looking for.
"-Although I can't activate it this turn." I disclaimed.
"...Boring…." Ghaslia sighed.
"Well You're about to see more action!" I exclaimed.
"Meteorite Philosopher attack deathstalker warrior! Meteor zarathustra!"
A fiery light appeared in the sky. It was a large rock covered in fire that blazed brightly with the words of a famous Philosopher!
" Ecce Homo !" The Philosopher chanted as he threw the meteorite down! The ground around the warrior lifted up as the matter around it was sucked into the meteor's mass. * BOOM * The meteorite fell on top of the scorpion causing a massive explosion that enveloped the ghoul.
Ghaslia LP: 3000
"Hmph." Through the ash and smoke that came afterward, The ghoul seemed unfazed by the massive explosion that had just happened.
(Does nothing Faze her…?) I thought.
"No." She responded.
"What? You can read my thoughts?" I said in shock.
"No. But I can read what's obvious on your face." Ghaslia responded with smug look.
" Ugh." I was disgusted with ghaslia's attitude.
"Now get on with your turn!" Ghaslia ordered.
"Grrrr…." I gritted my teeth.
"Attack Directly Crater Princess!" I ordered the princess to attack! The princess pulled another meteoroid from the sky, Surrounded by stardust and space stone, It came crashing down to the earth! With it's heavy size and velocity; it easily smashed the ghoul's mangled body!
Ghaslia LP: 1500
"..." When the dust cleared from the impact, I could see the ghoul on the ground. Her body was mangled up with her legs and arms bent into unnatural positions. Her lips were bleeding and her hair was frizzled and messed up. She looked like she was in utter despair as her body was now in a deteriorated state.
"Despair…. Pain... the only thing I have anymore…" She Whistled to herself. I kind of felt bad for ghaslia, Even though she was a monster she didn't deserve to feel this much pain
"Please, Give up and return my friends! I don't want to hurt you anymore."
"You don't want to hurt me….anymore? Hahaha that's good…." The ghoul levitated off the ground and stood her body up!
*Crack Crack*
She shook and rattled her body around causing her limbs to seeming heal and crack back into place. Her hair returned to normal and lip wounds sealed back together as if nothing had happened at all.
"You might not want… to hurt me….. But I want to hurt you!" She gasped.
"Why? What have I done to you?" I said.
"Wouldn't you like to know….."
"Please! I just want to understand you! You might be a monster but I know that your not doing these evil acts for no reason!" I exclaimed. My heart was beating and my soul felt like it was resonating.
"I cannot…. By cosmic Law, I am duty bound to Lord Drothe. I could not tell you even if I wanted to." She stated.
"..." I paused.
"Your soul will be mine, Skye Tenoushi! You will pay for what you've done to Lord Drothe!" She continued on to say.
"... I end my turn." I said. It seemed like no matter what I do, I can't get through to the ghoul named ghaslia. No matter what she seemed determined to steal my soul. But why? Why must we be enemies? Can't we unite under the banner of faith and be friends?
