Chapter 340 Dante, the Traveler from the Other Shore
"Dante, I can sense that you are remembering yourself and regaining the true meaning of life." Virgil said with emotion: "My battle phase is over, and the round is over."
"Virgil, your turn is over, now it's my turn to counterattack." Zhang Ji laughed and said, "During your preparation phase, the effect of [Casimoral] takes effect!
Destroy your [NO.14_Greedy Death Dog] and inflict half of its original attack power on you. Virgil, the power of the devil is not free. "
“That doesn’t work for me.” Virgil shook his head. “A monster in my graveyard, the effect of [Yama, the God of Death], when a Dark attribute Xyz monster on your field is destroyed by battle or the opponent’s graveyard effect, I can banish this card from the graveyard instead.”
"What...what?" The last glimmer of hope in Zhang Ji's heart was extinguished.
If this effect fails to destroy the Greedy Death Hound, it means that it will always possess the power of the devil, and its attack power will remain at 5000. Since it cannot be destroyed, the desire to cause effective damage to Virgil will become a bubble.
In fact, this is an effect judgment that is beneficial to Zhang Ji. If the effect damage continues to be executed, it will only trigger the effect of the Greedy Death Dog's rebound effect damage, causing Zhang Ji to bear half of the Greedy Death Dog's original attack power, which is 1250 effect damage, directly causing Zhang Ji to suffer defeat.
However, Zhang Ji had tried everything he could, but in the end he could not defeat Virgil, and failure was only a matter of time.
"I lost...I lost."
Zhang Ji kept repeating this sadly. He had almost gotten used to the bitter taste of failure.
"I am the most wretched and useless piece of trash in the world. Anyone can step on me and laugh at me. Bai Chu, I wish you were still standing in front of me. I wish you were still protecting me. I am just a worthless piece of trash."
Zhang Ji raised his head and looked at the man in front of him who looked exactly like Bai Chu but was determined to kill him. His figure gradually faded through his tearful eyes, as if he had returned to being the Bai Chu who wore the red school uniform of Osiris and had a smiling face.
"Dante, you are not a waste. In fact, I am here to tell you that you are not ordinary, nor common."
"Bai Chu" said: "There is 'the other side of good and evil' in everyone's heart, but what makes you different from others is that you have the ultimate good and the ultimate evil, and the perfect coordination of the two makes you a balanced and moderate person.
Dante, what you should do is to look into your own heart and restore the imbalanced good and evil to equality. Then you will naturally build a bridge to communicate with Beatrice and gain the power that has never been discovered. You are a demon, an angel, and finally a human being. "
"What is the real me?" Zhang Ji looked at his right hand in confusion and unconsciously reached for the deck.
"My turn, draw a card!"
Zhang Ji placed his hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat: "Virgil, is this the real me?
I summon a monster, [Death Guide from the Underworld to the Real World] (Dark/★3/Demon/Effect/1000/600)
When this card is summoned, the effect is activated! I can Special Summon 1 Demon-Type Level 3 monster from my hand or deck. The monster Special Summoned by this effect has its effects negated and cannot be used as Synchro Material.
I choose to Special Summon a monster from my deck, [Falfarello] (Dark/★3/Demon-Type/Effect/1000/1900)
Since I cannot escape fate, I will become the master of my fate. The summoning conditions are 3-star monster x2, I stack the monsters on the field, [Death Guide from the Underworld to the Real World] and [Falfarello, the Evil Ghost on the Other Shore], and build a stacking network with 2 monsters, Xyz Summon!
Cross the other side of good and evil, witness the fate of the sinner, and finally reach the pure white spirit. Come out, rank 3, [Traveler from the other side_Dante] (Light/☆3/Warrior/Extreme/Effect/1000/2500)"
"I'm glad to see you facing your fate again, Dante. Next, let me see your determination!"
"I activate the monster effect of [Dante, the Traveler from the Other Shore], and once per turn, by removing 1 Xyz Material from this card and sending up to 1 cards from the top of your deck to the Graveyard, this card's ATK increases by the number of cards sent to the Graveyard by this effect x 1 until the end of the turn."
"It's useless, Dante!" Virgil waved his hand, and the temperature of the asphalt pool under the stone bridge rose again, bubbles exploded with a thud, and charred and hot asphalt splashed everywhere.
"The effect of the Field Spell Card, [Boiling Asphalt Pool], when the effect of a Xyz monster is activated, you can change the effect of that monster to: Deal 400 damage to the enemy.
As for the monster effect of [NO.14_Greedy Death Dog], the opponent will take the damage caused by the opponent's effect on your own effect."
"Ugh——" (Zhang Ji's health 500→100)
Under the stimulation of severe pain, Zhang Ji's pupils began to turn slightly white, and his entire body emanated a faint, pure, and divine white light.
"Although the effect of [Dante, the Traveler from the Other Shore] has been tampered with, I still need to pay the cost to activate its effect and send the top three cards of my deck to the Graveyard."
Zhang Ji put his hand on the deck, drew out three cards, and showed them to Virgil: "The three cards sent to the graveyard are [The Devil of the Other Shore_Barbariccia], [The Devil of the Other Shore_Ciriato], and [The Devil of the Other Shore_Grafiacane]."
"When these three monsters and the monster that was removed as the Xyz material of Dante, the Devil of the Other Shore, Falfarello, are sent to the Graveyard, the effect is activated!
First, I can select 1 monster on the field and banish it until the End Phase. The monster I want to banish is [NO.14_Greedy Death Dog].
Next, I can select 1 [Other Side] monster from the deck and 3 from the graveyard to Special Summon. I choose to Special Summon [Other Side's Devil_Cagnazzo] (Dark/★1500/Demon-type/Effect/300/1400) from the deck and revive [Other Side's Devil_Carcabrina] (ATK) from the graveyard.
Finally, according to the effect of [Barbariccia], I can banish up to 3 "Other Side" cards from the Graveyard, and inflict 300 damage to the opponent equal to the number of cards banned.
I choose to banish Falfarello, Alichino, and Scarmiglione from the graveyard, and inflict 900 damage to you."
"Hmm——" (Virgil's health 4000 → 3100)
Virgil took his Xyz monster off the Duel Disk and muttered, "The temporary removal process will reset the card information. When it returns, Greedy Death Dog will no longer have 5000 attack points.
Dante, you used a trick to solve this threat, and took the opportunity to cause me an effect damage. Of course, your ultimate goal is to use the remaining monsters to attack me directly, so that you can win the duel. However, I will not give up just like that.
When the Xyz material of [No.14_Death Dog of Greed], [Prisoner of the Other Shore_Champolo], is sent to the Graveyard, I can destroy up to two monsters on the field by discarding a card from my hand, Bury! Carcabrina and Cagnazzo.
As long as the two monsters with the highest attack power are buried, Dante, you can't cause any trouble with just your main body with an attack power of 1000!"
"It's impossible to stop it." Zhang Ji slowly closed his eyes: "I activate the cover card, the usual trap card, [Traveler's Journey].
This card can Special Summon any number of "Other Side" monsters sent to the Graveyard this turn in Defense Position.
And according to my Continuous Trap Card, the effect of [Final Assault Order], these monsters will immediately change to Attack Position after being Special Summoned!
So, revive! Barbaricia (ATK 1700), Cagnazzo (ATK 1500), Ciliato (ATK 1600) and Graffiacan (ATK 1000)"
Seeing Zhang Ji filling his field with monsters in an instant, Virgil smiled with relief. Next, Zhang Ji only needed to use Dante with an attack power of 1000 and four evil spirits to launch a final general attack on Virgil, and he would be able to clear Virgil's health and win the duel.
"It seems that you have found the Heart of Light, Dante. You have lived up to my expectations after all. This ceremony is a complete success."
Vergil put his hand cards together in his deck, and ended the duel on his own initiative. The scene of the execution grounds of Hell disappeared, and he stepped to the left, revealing the gate of Hell with blazing flames behind him.
"Go back to Hell, Dante, your journey has just begun."
