Chapter 480 - 480: DSMW [480]
Watching from the rear, Aoyao cried out in shock, "There are two Level 12 Synchro Monsters!"Having mastered the special summoning method of Double Synchro, there was no denying that Lost had truly grown stronger.
What no one expected was that Lost, reborn after defeat, could elevate the power of Red Dragon Archfiend to such a degree, completing two highest-Level Synchro Summons in a single Duel.
"This is the Double Synchro that brings about the end! Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity! Suppress the entire field with your absolute authority!"
[When this card is Synchro Summoned: For the rest of this turn, your opponent cannot activate card effects on the field. Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this effect's activation.]
With all card effects on the field sealed, under the terrifying pressure of the Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity, as long as a card existed on Miles's field this turn, its effect could not be activated.
That included the unknown cards Set in Miles's back row, as well as the Trinity Accel Synchro [Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon].
Most crucially, at the end of [Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity]'s effect text, there was this line:
[Your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this effect's activation.]
Just like [Super Polymerization], it could not be chained to—a pseudo Speed 4 effect.
As a result, even though [Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon] still had its once-per-turn ability to negate an opponent's monster effect unused, it could not stop the Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity. For this turn, it could only remain sealed, unable to activate its effects.
"Dueling you is just too much fun~ Let's keep fighting, Miles!"
Commanding two Level 12 Double Synchro Monsters and with the field already fully engulfed in demonic dragon flames, Lost declared entry into the Battle Phase.
"First, [Red Nova Dragon] attacks!—Unleash 'Burning Soul'!"
Once again, searing flames wrapped around the massive dragon body as Red Nova Dragon transformed into a meteor and slammed into Stardust Sifr.
[Miles, LP: 3000 → 2000]
Just like the previous turn, the collision of 5000 Attack against 4000 Attack successfully reduced Miles's Life Points by more than half.
As the flames swept past his body, Miles endured the scorching heat, the stardust on his field still shining brightly.
"Even if the activation of card effects on the field is sealed, [Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon] doesn't need to activate anything. Its continuously existing aura can still grant destruction resistance to cards!"
[Each card you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects once per turn.]
Relying on its inherent card resistance, Stardust Sifr endured Red Nova Dragon's 'Burning Soul' for the second time, spreading its dragon wings to scatter the surrounding flames.
Lost emphasized, "But the destruction resistance provided by Stardust Sifr only works once per turn, right!"
The remaining monster on Lost's field that could still attack was the other Level 12 Double Synchro, [Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity]. Its Attack was the same as Stardust Sifr's—4000.
"This time, you're the one without protection, Miles!"
Lost hurled her final card into the flame-filled sky.
"—Quick-Play Spell [Synchro Escort]¹ activated! If you control 2 or more Synchro Monsters, until the end of the turn, your Synchro Monsters cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects!"
The Quick-Play Spell [Synchro Escort], activated through the coordination of two top-tier Synchro Monsters, transformed destruction resistance into a suit of blazing armor that enveloped the demonic dragon.
The situation reversed completely. Both monsters had 4000 Attack, but after [Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon] had already used up its destruction protection, [Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity] gained additional destruction resistance lasting until the end of the turn.
At the same time, the cards Set in Miles's back row still could not be flipped due to the sealing effect.
"This time, I've won! Go and shatter Stardust, [Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity]!"
Receiving Lost's final command, the Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity, clad in blazing armor, roared as it tore through the stardust, unleashing a catastrophe of destruction.
"—'Crimson Lotus Destruction Purgatory Cannon'!!"
This strike pierced through the stardust. The demonic dragon's flaming roar successfully shot down Stardust Sifr as it flew beneath the crimson sky.
[Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon] destroyed
However, Lost's assault was not yet over. After destroying Stardust Sifr, the Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity once again gathered blazing flames upon its terrifying claws.
"When you destroy an opponent's monster by battle, [Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity]'s effect activates!"
[If this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's original Attack.]
An effect similar to Elemental HERO Flame Wingman's trademark burn—after destroying a monster, it directly inflicted massive Life Point damage.
Stardust Sifr's Attack was 4000, which meant this burst of demonic dragon flames would deal a full 4000 points of effect damage to Miles.
"Embrace the victory of Red Dragon Archfiend!—'Absolute Calamity Burn'!"
A flaming vortex unleashed from the Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity's terrifying claws surged mercilessly toward Miles.
"I've been waiting for this exact moment, Lost!"
This turn, all card effects on Miles's field were sealed and could not be activated.
But that did not mean there were no effects he could use from his hand or Graveyard.
The Level 2 monster blindly sent to the Graveyard last turn by the Spell [Tuning] was precisely why Miles had not immediately Summoned [Junk Synchron] to revive it for a Synchro. He had deliberately created a blind spot for Lost, concealing this Graveyard trap.
"Graveyard effect of [Damage Eater] activates!"
[When your opponent activates a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster effect that would inflict damage: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; that effect becomes a Life Point recovery effect instead. This effect can only be activated during your opponent's turn.]
The seemingly ferocious flaming vortex of the Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity—4000 points of effect damage in total—was completely converted into Life Point recovery for Miles.
[Miles, LP: 2000 → 6000]
That was practically draining her lifeline dry, leaving Lost completely stunned.
"Heh heh, the resources for the final decisive blow are all in place!"
In this Duel, Life Points were the key for Miles to break through Double Synchro and defeat two Level 12 demonic dragons.
The card currently clenched in Miles's hand was also the most soul-charged finishing card in Krista's Deck.
[Clashing Souls]
Yet just as Miles was ready to launch the decisive counterattack, accompanied by the thunderous roar of a D-Wheel engine, Krista—sprinting beneath the sunset—finally arrived at the scene at the very last moment.
"No, Miles! You can't win this Duel!"
"Krista?"
The three people present collectively turned their gazes of confusion and surprise toward the girl who had skidded to a stop on her D-Wheel.
Lost demanded, "Why are you here, Krista? Weren't you supposed to be on a date?!"
Miles asked in disbelief, "Why can't I win?"
"Ah, well…"
Standing in front of Lost, Krista—her close friend—found it hard to explain herself plainly, constrained by awkwardness and pride.
It was difficult to explain that this delinquent-looking girl was, in truth, a hopeless romantic fool.
