SWNOVELXO Chapter 37: DSMW [37]
"—Trap Card activate, The League of Uniform Nomenclature!"
[Select 1 face-up Level 2 or lower Normal Monster you control; Special Summon as many monsters as possible with the same name from your Deck.]
This was the first C-rank card Aisha chose to craft using the Spell Points she earned after defeating Irene.
Perhaps now, it would be more accurate to say it was a card gifted by Ren.
It was largely thanks to this card that Aisha's previously incoherent junk deck was finally recognized by the [Magic Directory] as a proper archetype, successfully unlocking the [Amulet of Ambition].
"This is the path of redemption. Let me show you what a true angel looks like. I activate it, targeting the [Mokey Mokey] on my field—Special Summon every [Mokey Mokey] from my Deck!"
[Mokey Mokey, DEF: 100] ×3
Aisha's field was once again filled with the luxurious display of three tofu blocks arranged in a row.
Ridiculous, yet not entirely.
In the despair of this Shadow Game, the presence of three genuine LIGHT Attribute Angels floating in the air—even if shaped like tofu—still managed to light up the darkness.
Coupled with Miles's confident "Forcibly End Opponent's Turn" just now…
It planted deep unease in the black-robed man.
Could he actually lose?
"Don't be ridiculous! No matter how many of these worthless monsters you summon, there's no way you can beat me!"
He quickly shook off that thought.
'Still, this little girl clearly isn't normal. If I bring her to the cult leader... heh, I might just strike it rich.'
Once again, greed triumphed over fear, and the black-robed man gathered his resolve to duel.
Impossible to lose. Whether in Life Points or board state, he held the absolute advantage.
Plus, with the Ritual Monster [Archfiend's Awakening] on his field, without a Ritual Monster of her own, Aisha had no way to break through.
"You've only got two cards in hand. If you can OTK me, I'll eat this Millennium Ring and die!"
"Alright, I'll take that flag," Miles said, fingertips gently brushing the top of the Deck. His opponent was practically begging him to trigger his draw luck buff.
"If you don't die, who will?! My turn, draw!!"
The card slid into his hand, tracing a trajectory of light and hope within the Shadow Game.
"It's here."
Do your best—leave the rest to fate.
Before even drawing, Miles had already activated the key Trap Card [The League of Uniform Nomenclature].
This was to bring out the other two [Mokey Mokey] from the Deck in advance, thinning the Deck and reducing the chance of a dead draw—maximizing the odds of drawing the key card.
This was also Miles's most important habit when dueling—
Do everything within your power to maximize the probability... and leave the rest to luck.
"The final piece of the puzzle is in place."
He slapped the drawn card onto the center of the field, unleashing the power of the underdogs.
"I switch all [Mokey Mokey] to Attack Position, then activate the Spell Card—Triangle Power!"
[Increase the original Attack and Defense of all face-up Level 1 Normal Monsters (except Tokens) you control by 2000. During the End Phase, destroy all Level 1 Normal Monsters you control.]
[Mokey Mokey, ATK: 300 → 2300]
Forming a triangle once again—just like when they smashed through Irene—the three Mokey Mokey now boasted Attack power rivaling that of [Red-Eyes Black Dragon].
But this time, the opponent's board strength wasn't something Irene could have compared to.
[Summoned Skull] and [Archfiend's Awakening]—both standing at 2500 Attack, even surpassing Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
"Another card designed to boost trash monsters? Cute. But it still can't surpass the power of my Summoned Skull!"
The black-robed man laughed with exaggerated confidence.
"However, what surprises me... You actually have a second B-rank card? That's troublesome. After I win this duel, which one should I take..."
Just like the [Amulet of Ambition], [Triangle Power] was the kind of card whose value couldn't even be accurately priced in the black market.
"Sorry, you're not taking a single one of my cards. On the contrary, I'm going to take your [Summoned Skull]."
Pinching the last card between her fingers, Miles, in Aisha's body, struck a victory pose and declared words that the black-robed man found utterly unbelievable.
"This is the final piece of my victory puzzle—the peak of underdog power, layered Triangle formation! —Spell Card activate, [Delta Attacker]!"
The second 'Triangle' Spell activated.
Though it wasn't as powerful as [Triangle Power], [Delta Attacker] was still a C-rank rare Spell.
Yet, combined with another 'Triangle,' it created a jaw-dropping chemical reaction.
Two triangles stacked together form a hexagram.
[Activate only if you control 3 face-up Normal Monsters with the same name (except Tokens). This turn, those monsters can attack your opponent directly.]
"Nani!" The black-robed man's face contorted into exaggerated shock.
"A Spell that lets same-name Normal Monsters attack directly!"
The three [Mokey Mokey] on Aisha's field perfectly fulfilled the condition, and each now had 2300 Attack.
Under the combined effects of [Triangle Power] and [Delta Attacker], the double Triangle formation turned into a radiant hexagram, surrounding the empowered Mokey Mokeys like a divine seal.
Aisha said, "Wha-wha-what... Are these really still my tofu blocks? They're practically... real angels now!"
And indeed, Mokey Mokey are real Angel-Type Monsters.
"So what if you have monsters with 2500 Attack? So what if they can't be destroyed by battle? Under this double Triangle hexagram assault, no monster can stand in our way!"
They had transcended the realm of mere monsters and raw battle stats.
Bathed in the glow of the radiant hexagram, the Mokey Mokey could have even defeated three [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] at once.
The only way to block this assault would have been through Spells or Traps.
Yet unfortunately, after summoning his two demons, the black-robed man had no cards left in hand—nor any face-down Trap cards.
"Checkmate. This Shadow Game... is mine!"
The tofu-bodied angels radiated dazzling light. The three Mokey Mokeys dispelled the oppressive gloom of the Shadow Game, illuminating the nighttime forest as if it were daylight.
"Go, Mokey Mokey—Radiant Hexagram Strike!"
Ignoring the presence of [Summoned Skull] and delivering direct attacks, their assaults slammed into the black-robed man one after another.
"Total damage: 6900!—Hexagram Strike of Seraphic Radiance!"
"AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!"
[Dark Duelist, LP: 3500 → 0]
With one final scream, the black-robed man's Life Points dropped to zero under the might of the Hexagram Strike.
"OTK!!!"
