Chapter 159 - 159: DSMW [159]
"Tch, I'm just subbing in for the Legendary Dragons, so why am I the one getting hurt?"An almost-lethal Flash Flame Wing Strike made the red-haired Headmaster's scalp tingle, and she couldn't help but cry out.
"What a shame, Miles. Just 200 more damage and you'd have had the win."
Irene had no intention of letting the opponent hang on by a thread, but sometimes you just couldn't squeeze out that last bit of damage.
"You did great, Ren. That fusion with Flame Wingman? You basically wiped out all the Legendary Dragons. Seriously impressive!"
"Really? I'm really that good? Hehehe~ It's all thanks to you, Miles!"
Praised by Miles, the cool redhead who had been commanding her HEROes a moment ago instantly reverted to a bashful little girl, scratching her cheek nonstop.
The Headmaster interjected, "From now on, Fusion Academy has a new rule—no flirting during Duels!"
Ren and Aisha fired back in unison, "We weren't flirting!"
With the Amulet Dragon destroyed, the Headmaster drew a card and tossed a Dark Magician from the Graveyard onto the field.
"Amulet Dragon's parting effect activates—when it's destroyed, I can Special Summon Dark Magician from my Graveyard!"
A highly convincing last words-style effect. That attack from Flame Wingman had only taken out the Legendary Dragon mount, Timaeus, leaving Dark Magician unscathed.
[Dark Magician DEF: 2100]
Reappearing on the field, the Headmaster—now at just 200 LP—had her Dark Magician assume a cautious Defense Position.
Kevin commented, "They did take down all the Legendary Dragons... but Dark Magician is still here. Then again, Miles and Ren have a massive advantage now. ...Wait, why did I say Miles?"
In terms of LP, Miles was still at a full [Miles, LP: 4000], while the Headmaster was barely hanging on at [Headmaster (Legendary Dragons), LP: 200].
Field-wise, Flame Wingman also overpowered Dark Magician.
"I Set one card and end my turn!"
Ren placed her final card face-down, hoping it would be the last support Miles needed to claim victory in this Trial Duel.
"My turn—draw!"
At the start of her turn, the Headmaster wondered what kind of card the Legendary Dragons would guide her to, now that all three had been used.
"So that's how it is... I see. That's another way to play it."
The moment she saw the card, the Headmaster understood the Legendary Dragons' intent.
"—I activate the Spell Card A Feather of the Phoenix!"
[Discard 1 card from your hand, then target 1 card in your Graveyard; place that card on top of your Deck.]
"I discard 1 card and return The Fang of Critias from my Graveyard to the top of my Deck!"
"So that's how she plans to recycle the Legendary Dragons."
The Legendary Dragons—or rather, the Nameless Dragons—have card faces that show no info, not even the card type. So effects like Monster Reborn or Magical Stone Excavation, which require specific types, wouldn't work on them.
However, A Feather of the Phoenix had no such restriction—it could return any card from the Graveyard.
The only downside was placing it on top of the Deck, meaning you'd have to wait until your next Draw Phase to use it.urn.
Placing The Eye of Timaeus atop her Deck made perfect sense—with Dark Magician still on the field, she could fuse again next turn.
"Now then, let's see how you plan to overcome the Legendary Dragons' trial, Heir Chosen by the Millennium Puzzle~"
"Taunting your student in a life-or-death Duel isn't very becoming, Headmaster..."
Miles furrowed his brows, pondering how to use his handful of ragtag monsters to break through.
That's when Aisha's voice emerged from within the Millennium Puzzle.
"Miles, did you hear that voice just now?"
"What voice?"
"Timaeus's voice."
"Timaeus?"
He'd just seen the Headmaster return that card to the top of her Deck.
"Why can you hear him, Aisha?"
"I don't really know. But inside the Millennium Puzzle... I just can. Maybe it's because of Timaeus's connection to the Puzzle's previous wielder."
Only Aisha, inside the Millennium Puzzle, could hear the Legendary Dragon whispering—not a roar, but clear words, as if speaking in his original knightly tone.
"What did he say, Aisha?"
"Timaeus said… only a Legendary Dragon can defeat another. If we, too, are worthy Heroes, we can wield that power."
"Us, use the power of a Legendary Dragon?"
How? All the cards were in the Headmaster's Deck.
Then Miles suddenly realized another possibility.
If he was truly a chosen Hero, then maybe—just maybe—he could draw it too.
"If I'm right... Then this draw!"
To confirm the possibility, Miles slid his fingers across the top of his Deck—above Spirit Eyes.
"My turn—draw!"
A dazzling light, and the card Miles drew... was exactly what he'd hoped for.
Among the 40 cards in Aisha's Deck, only one could link to the power of the Legendary Dragons.
