Ed also nodded.
In this situation, Tenjo Hikari is almost impossible to lose.
Of course.
It's "almost."
Because there exists "Will of the Mortal" on the opponent's field, so whatever happens, it might be unpredictable.
"My turn, draw!" The Lion Witch swiftly drew a card, then directly showed it to everyone, "Normal Monster, Ancient Jar."
It immediately continued drawing "Normal Monster Fungi of the Musk," "Normal Monster Gigobyte," "Normal Monster Dancing Elf," "Trap Card... At this moment, activate Quick-Play Spell Card, Hand Destruction, both players send two hand cards to the Graveyard, then draw two cards."
Tenjo Hikari sent his hand cards to the Graveyard, while the Lion Witch quickly redrew, then revealed: "With a Normal Monster, draw a card."
"Once more, Hand Destruction."
It continuously drew several cards and then nodded slightly.
That's about right—
"Activate Spell Card, Tri-Wight!"
It took out a Spell Card: "Target 3 LV 2 or lower Normal Monsters in your Graveyard, Special Summon those Monsters!"
"Special Summon, LV 1 Bat! LV 1 Dancing Elf! LV 1 Bone Mouse—and finally... Normal Summon, LV 1 Gigobyte!"
The Lion Witch summoned a row of small, weak, ancient, forgotten Monsters, corroded by agony, almost like the walking dead.
"I am the Forgotten, I am a Guardian, I am an ancient Sorcerer, who accidentally discovered this Dimension during a whimsical Dimension Travel... I guard this world, shielding these bewildered and chaotic Monsters, turned to bones and Zombies by resentment..." The Lion Witch finally somewhat introduced itself.
It seems that it actively came to this world, protecting these forgotten Spirits.
"If even I leave this world, if even I don't care about them, then who else in the world will guard my weak and pitiful comrades?"
This world is the world of Forgotten, if not for its care of these Spirits driven by instinct, craving to cause others pain, this place would have already become a den of evil.
Likewise, precisely because this world is filled with such resentful, zombie-like Spirits, its malice towards ordinary people has worsened.
What Tenjo Hikari needs to face was never it, it welcomes someone who can take away the Spirits of this world—but, what Tenjo Hikari and they need to face, is this Dimension!
The future of this Forgotten Dimension!
"Human, I want to see your true will, I want to see how powerful your Polymerization truly is!"
"Activate Spell Card Triangle Power!"
"All face-up LV 1 Normal Monsters on your field gain 2000 ATK and DEF! At the end of the turn, destroy all LV 1 Monsters on your field!"
Bat, ATK 300→2300; Dancing Elf, ATK: 300→2300; Bone Mouse, ATK: 400→2400; Gigobyte, ATK: 350→2350.
"But what's the point of that?" Aiko asked puzzled, "Even with an ATK boost of 2000, they still can't compete with the Magical Steel Knight, can they?"
She said, but found both boys unresponsive. Turning to look at them, she noticed their serious expressions and even a cold sweat on their foreheads.
They realized "something"!
"At this moment, I have [5] face-up LV 2 or lower Normal Monsters on my field! Therefore—I can activate this card!
Spell Card, The Law of the Normal!"
A card, like a nail, fell from the sky, firmly embedded in the ground.
"According to its effect, both duelists discard all hand cards, then destroy all cards on the field except for LV 2 or lower Normal Monsters!"
Aiko, as if grabbed by the throat, dared not breathe.
Hand cards, field, all cards destroyed!? Four LV 1 Monsters with over 2000 ATK? In that case, not to mention 4000 Life Points, even 8000 couldn't withstand it!
"Go, unleash your pain, your resentment!"
Five Monsters, deformed, with acid and bones all over, howled.
The field shattered with a snap.
The Will of the Mortal instantly vanished.
Tenjo Hikari's Set Cards were immediately flipped open and shattered; he watched as his cards were destroyed.
And despite the Magical Steel Knight's splendid steel armor, it couldn't resist the gales, swept into the Graveyard by darkness and torment.
Now, Tenjo Hikari's field was utterly empty!
"Looks like, it's over, humans—"
A few sighed with regret.
Who would have thought, the Lion Witch's final tactic was destroying all cards!?
"No."
?
Tenjo Hikari calmly said, "I said no."
"Why!?"
All beings instinctively exclaimed.
"Indeed, The Law of the Normal destroyed all my cards, but it also destroyed your Sword of the Soul-Eater—meaning, your Basic Insect's ATK returns to 500!"
"What does that matter? You don't have any Monsters on the field either..."
"No! You're mistaken—I'm Tenjo Hikari, Tenjo Hikari of Duel Academy, Tenjo Hikari of Polymerization, in pursuit of Ultimate Fusion.
Therefore, even if it's destruction, even if it's abandonment, even if it's disappearance, I will come back, never give up!
Activate the effect of a Trap Card in the Graveyard!"
Ah!?
"Waking the Dragon!"
"When this Set Card leaves the field due to an opponent's effect and is sent to the Graveyard or banished, activate it. Special Summon one Monster from your Deck or Extra Deck!
