"Ouch ouch ouch, you actually laid down a B-rank Mirror Force , you really got me, Luka."
This time it was Ling Ling's turn to rub his lean butt.
Aisha: "(°Д°) Don't randomly... forget it, go ahead and touch."
Long hearing of the great name of heavy traps, this was Ling Ling's first time truly eating a [Sacred Barrier - Mirror Force-] in a duel.
This feeling was really not very comfortable, even a bit more uncomfortable than hitting the ground with Aisha's butt.
"Consider it returning the favor. You tricked me once, so naturally, I have to trick you once too. All's fair in war, student Aisha."
"Indeed, who hasn't been tricked once or twice in a duel."
Ling Ling quickly adjusted his mentality.
Fortunately, his only Attack Position monster was [King's Knight]; Chalice Priestess was still in Defense Position and wasn't destroyed. Eating a Mirror Force, the loss wasn't too severe.
With the 2100 DEF Priestess, blocking a 900 ATK angel was more than enough.
"I set one card, turn end."
"My turn, draw!"
Drawing the starting card of her turn, Luka's large, watery-blue eyes narrowed slightly into two beautiful crescent moons.
"I guess, student Aisha, you wouldn't be thinking your Priestess is more than enough to block my Rose Angel, right?"
Aisha: "o(ﾟДﾟ)っ! Mr. Ling Ling, she-she-she, she can read minds!"
What a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing.
"But you can't block it~"
Fair fingertips lightly caressed and stirred; Luka activated the effect of the Rose Angel in the sky, which already had one red wing severed.
"During the Standby Phase of the turn, [Rosaria, the Stately Fallen Angel] can activate its effect, destroying the 1 monster with the lowest ATK on the field!"
Disabled but determined; even with only 900 ATK left, the Rose Angel still insisted on fully spreading its wings, stirring up a crimson rose storm.
"Destroy the [Chalice Priestess Who Received] with 0 ATK!——『Thorn Hurricane』!"
Destruction by a monster effect ignored the difference between their ATK and DEF, causing the flat-chested Priestess caught in the hurricane to have countless bloody gashes scraped across her exposed, delicate skin before being destroyed and disappearing.
[Chalice Priestess Who Received] destroyed
After the monster relied upon for defense disappeared, Ling Ling immediately fell into the predicament of an empty field.
One must know that in a practical combat test with only 2000 Life Points, an empty field state is very dangerous.
"Then it's about time to end this duel. I'll leave it to you, my other self~"
Tinkle——!
A very clear sound of a wind chime clashing; this time Ling Ling dared to guarantee with Aisha's head that he hadn't misheard.
The sound of the Millennium Ring was precisely coming from the girl before him, Luka Srlent.
Although it was unclear where she hid the Millennium Ring.
But after three rings, Ling Ling was already incomparably convinced and had locked onto the target.
"Stepping into darkness, huh? No problem, then let me deliver the finishing blow."
Still Luka's appearance, Luka's voice, but the feeling Ling Ling got was as if it were a completely different person.
Aisha: "Mr. Ling Ling, Luka, she!"
"Mm, soul exchanged."
However, observing the expressions of the surrounding classmates, it seemed only Ling Ling and Aisha noticed Luka's change in that instant.
Right, after all, he and Aisha had exchanged souls so many times without being exposed.
Certainly couldn't expect the students of Fusion Academy to be sharp enough to notice the change in temperament of a transfer student they had just met.
This kind of switching between souls could probably only be clearly distinguished by holders of Millennium Items.
Fingertips drawing a card from her hand, Luka flipped the card face forward to display.
The cute-looking girl's smile, different from her usual sunshine, now carried a few subtle traces of coldness.
"I activate the effect of the monster card [Fallen Angel of Roses] ( Demon Angel Rose's Wizard) from my hand!"
"Demon Angel?"
If the card art of Dignified Angel depicted the sacred姿態 (zītài - posture/mien) of the crimson Rose Queen.
Then this Demon Angel was the Rose Priestess fallen to darkness, the ultimate evil posture.
"The effect of [Fallen Angel of Roses] is that it can be swapped with the [Rosaria, the Stately Fallen Angel] on the field! (「Rosaria, the Stately Fallen Angel」 returns to the hand, this card is Special Summoned from the hand)."
White and black angels intertwined; at first glance, it even bore a striking resemblance to the black and white stockings Luka had specially changed into today, one on each leg.
[Fallen Angel of Roses ★★★★★★★ (7-Star) EARTH][Plant-Type/Effect ATK: 2400 DEF: 1300]
[Can be swapped with "Rosaria, the Stately Fallen Angel" on the field ("Rosaria, the Stately Fallen Angel" returns to hand, this card is Special Summoned from hand).]
The same Level and Attribute as Dignified Angel, the Demon Angel with unfurled black wings stepped onto the battlefield with alternating long, snow-white legs.
"So that's how it is, an angel that can switch between white and black. When summoned before, I was really tricked."
Ling Ling originally thought it was Luka's pure and noble personality that allowed her to summon a monster like [Rosaria, the Stately Fallen Angel].
But now, combining it with [Fallen Angel of Roses], the black and white angels, two-in-one, perfectly interpreted the unknown dark side hidden beneath Luka's pure appearance.
"After the swap summon, [Fallen Angel of Roses]'s ATK has recovered to 2400 points before being weakened, and you have no monsters on your field. Direct attack!"
The decisive blow after the black and white swap allowed Luka to reverse the situation and grasp victory. The Demon Angel's black rose storm assaulted the defenseless Ling Ling.
"When you declare a direct attack, activate Trap Card [Negate Attack] (反擊之門 - Fǎnjí zhī Mén - Counter Gate)!"
C-rank Spell Trap, restricted to activation only when receiving a direct attack; compared to the one-card reversal of Sacred Barrier, the strength difference is obvious.
Of course, [Negate Attack] also has its own unique advantage, which is 「Draw Card」 and 「Summon」.
[Negate Attack Trap Card Effect: When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack: Negate the attack, then draw 1 card. If that card is a monster, you can Normal Summon it in face-up Attack Position.]
Appearing before Ling Ling, the barrier of the dimensional gate blocked the fatal storm of black roses.
"According to the effect of [Negate Attack], after blocking the attack, I draw 1 card from my deck. If it's a monster card, summon it!"
Fingertips swiped across the deck in the Elven Eye, emergency card drawn, Aisha's emerald eyes scanned the card face.
"I Normal Summon in Attack Position——[Relinkuriboh] ( Sacrificial Kuriboh)!"
[Relinkuriboh ★ DARK][Fiend-Type/Effect ATK: 300 DEF: 200]
"Kurikuri!"
Also meeting the challenge with the newest summoned monster card, the fiercely cute Kuriboh materialized and appeared on Aisha's field.
