Chapter 25: The Empress in Flames, Another Evolzar Awakens: Maira vs Albus Part 4

Maira glared at Laggia, clenching her teeth and wondering if she would even manage to reduce Albus's Life points at this rate. She looked closely, noticing acidic gas that began to emit not only from Laggia's overlay units, but also from within its own body. It seemed that Albus had once again taken a great risk in order to reuse the overwhelming power of his beast.

" There is another downside to using this final effect... if my monster by some chance gets destroyed by battle, I also take damage equal to the destroyed monster's original ATK."

Kageru pounded his fist into the ground "Urk! There's just no end to it! (Even with that risk, that darn monster is gonna keep wasting Maira's cards!)..Urrrr...Albus!...If you do anything to Maira!...Urrrk...(No...Maira's strong. I know she can handle him...but...Akane was too, and... It's just like that time long ago. Please Maira. Don't end like sis...please)."

Albus continued by calling another monster "Now I shall summon, Evoltile Odonto!"

Evoltile Odonto LV2 FIRE/Reptile

ATK 500
DEF 1200

"When Odonto is summoned, I can special summon an Evolsaur monster from my hand. Come..Evolsaur Cerato!"

Albus placed another monster to his field. A black-spine orange colored dinosaur growled and rushed out gazing at Maira with its menacing eyes.

Evolsaur Cerato LV4 FIRE/Dinosaur

ATK 1900
DEF 1400

" Entering Battlephase, but first I'll activate my quick-play spell; Shrink. This spell cuts the original attack of one of your monsters in half this turn. I think I'll target your nuisance of a mermaid."

Syrin suddenly shrunk down in size along with its ATK

Syrin ATK 2600-Half of original 2100 ATK (1050)=1550

"Prepare yourself...I attack your Syrin with Evolsaur Cerato. Devour her."

Maira began to sweat, knowing that despite having her face down, she knew it would be useless as long as Laggia was up. She had planned a strategy for her following turn, and fearing the monster's disruptive ability, she had no choice but to force it out. "(I have to do this!)". Maira flung her card up, "Hold up! I'll play an old, but favorite classical card of mine! Mirror Force!"

"Hmph useless. Even a trap that powerful, can do nothing but crumble before my monster. I shall activate Laggia's ability once more. I detach 2 overlay units and negate your Mirror Force."

Laggia devoured its units, and unleashed a burning shockwave that rendered Maira's reflective barrier powerless. Syrin was then devoured, but Albus took more damage as a result of Acidic Overlay's effect.

Maira LP 6500-350=6150

Albus LP 5800-500 for each Xyz material (1000) = 4800

" Hmph. Now i use Cerato's effect. When he defeats a monster in battle I may add an Evoltile monster from my deck to my hand. I shall add one more Westlo to my hand… And now Laggia will attack directly. Spiral Haze!"

Bright green and yellow flames circled around, slightly incinerating Maira's body and the area around her. " Aaaaaagggghhhh!"

Maira LP 6150-2400=3750

"Damn it Albus stop this!" Kageru yelled out in fury, unable to do anything but watch as his friend endured the attack from Albus's monster.

Maira began to breathe heavily. Her body throbbed with pain as burns began to take hold of her limbs. Albus stared at her as if feeling not a trace of remorse just like Aria did. He continued his play like nothing even happened. " I activate the Double Summon spell card. This will allow me to perform an extra normal summon or set this turn. With this I summon my Evoltile Westlo to the field." Once more, Albus ignored Kageru's yelling and placed his green reptile on the field. He paused for a moment before declaring " I shall seal your defeat once this turn is done. There will be no hope for you left. Prepare...Maira Yune, for I shall overlay my LV4 Cerato and Westlo."

The two monsters zoomed within a large spacial area that which burst into a fiery combustion. " Flames of punishment come forth. Combine bodies and forge new life. Become my envoy of evolution and wipe away all unworthy beings from my sight…. I Xyz summon! The Tyrant Eraser...Evolzar Dolkka!"

A monster bearing a sinister form rose from its depths. It was bright skinned and spiny like Laggia's and wore a fiendish face with two sharp horns and menacing blue eyes that glowed menacingly.

Evolzar Dolkka Rank4 FIRE/Dragon

ATK 2300
DEF 1700

"Now I will activate my equip spell Xyz Horn. This grants my monster 800 ATK for every Xyz material on the field. My Dolkka possesses 2 and so it shall rise by 1600."

A horn manifested on Dolkka's forehead and increased its strength rapidly

Evolzar Dolkka ATK 2300+1600=3900

"Now Ms. Yune...Make the most of your next turn. I shall ensure that it will be your last. I end my turn."
