Chapter 76: Chaos Descends!

Using two Magical Girl monsters to defeat the final scapegoat, the Dark Magician Girl covered a card, and it became Tenjo Hikari's turn.

"Now Tenjo Hikari doesn't even have a sheep left for sudden mutation."

The Fusion Army members suddenly grew excited, as if the duel on the field were their own.

"My turn, draw—At this moment, the effect of Future Fusion activates. Fusion Summon: Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant!"

The colossal giant rose with a thunderous crash, as if it had always stood there, opening its crimson gaze to scrutinize the Magical Girl before it.

Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant, Level 10, Earth Attribute, Machine Type, ATK 4400.

Here it comes! The Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant, Tenjo Hikari's ultimate monster!

Ohhh, this is Professor Chronos's ultimate card, the ultimate weapon of Ancient Machinery!

"But if that's all, it shouldn't be enough, right?" another student added, questioning, "Even with 4400 ATK, if it attacks, it'll drop to 2200—it can't possibly defeat the Magical Girl!"

"Unless… Tenjo Hikari has another card?"

As if in response, Tenjo Hikari revealed his face-down card: "I reveal this face-down card: Continuous Trap Card, Ancient Mechanical Duel. This is a trap fusion card used by Ancient Machinery. While this card remains on the field, your Ancient Mechanical Giant and any monster with that monster's name in its text are unaffected by your opponent's monster effects!"

"Ah! With this effect, we can battle!!" Serena, who always believed in the thrill of combat, immediately cheered and punched the air upon seeing the card.

"I see… but don't underestimate me!" The Dark Magician Girl revealed her face-down card: "Quick-Play Spell, Dimensional Magic!"

"Ah!" Wan Wan Zhangmu exclaimed.

"Damn!" San Ze followed immediately.

"The effect of Dimensional Magic: If I have a Spellcaster-type monster on the field, I can tribute one monster to Special Summon one Spellcaster-type monster from my hand. After that, I can destroy one monster on the field!"

"I tribute the Apple Magical Girl to Special Summon a second Chocolate Magical Girl from my hand! Then, I destroy your monster on the field: Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant!"

The red Magical Girl dissolved into light particles, and immediately, a second blue-haired Magical Girl appeared on the field.

Simultaneously, the Dark Magician Girl gently raised her staff, aiming it at the giant, and launched a black energy sphere that shattered it.

"Wait, that's not something a Duel Video could replicate, is it?" a student realized belatedly.

Tenjo Hikari shielded his eyes and spoke: "The effect of Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant: When this card is destroyed, I can target one Ancient Mechanical Giant in my graveyard to Special Summon it without conditions!"

The four-legged giant struck by magic slowly shed its armor; after the protective devices fell away, a Level 8, ATK 3000 Ancient Mechanical Giant remained.

"See that, Miss Serena? Even Tenjo Hikari isn't that impressive!"

"Exactly! He's no different from you—you don't need to learn from him!"

"Our Fusion Department also has many excellent teachers who can guide you!"

Serena, thoroughly annoyed, shouted: "This is so annoying!"

"A Duelist never gives up so easily—he still has so many cards in hand!"

But even as she said it, she knew the current situation was unfavorable for Tenjo Hikari.

Tenjo Hikari glanced at his hand and revealed one card: "Normal Summon: Golden Heresy God!"

"Ha… ha…"

The golden-carved Heresy God appeared on the field, looking unimpressed and somewhat downcast.

Golden Heresy God, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster Type, ATK 0.

"Golden Heresy God?" many students voiced their confusion.

"It's a Fusion Material for Thousand-Eyed Offering God!" Judai, seeing his friends didn't recognize it, seized the chance to show off his knowledge, explaining loudly.

"The effect of Golden Heresy God activates: Look at your opponent's hand. Its name is treated as Thousand-Eyed Heresy God!"

"Eh?! Tenjo-kun, how can you peek at a girl's secrets?!" Wan Teng Xiang, in his purple uniform, instinctively cried out.

That was well said. The Fusion Army students immediately nodded in agreement.

This new guy's good!

What are you looking at? Trying to devise a new strategy by checking her hand?

"Here, take a look~" The Dark Magician Girl, unfazed, displayed her hand cards.

After seeing her hand, Tenjo Hikari's lip twitched.

"Ugh… that girl has a Kiwi Magical Girl in her hand…" Wan Wan Zhangmu felt his teeth ache.

This combo is too cruel.

"What card is that?"

"Kiwi Magical Girl: When discarded, all 【Magical Girl】 monsters on the field gain ATK and DEF equal to 300 times the total number of Magical Girl monsters on the field and in the graveyard. There are already two Magical Girls on the field; discarding this one plus the Apple and Dark Magician Girl in the graveyard…" San Ze shook his head, "Even if the Ancient Mechanical Giant isn't weakened, it can't beat the Magical Girls!"

"So… there's no way to win?" Asuka worried, "No matter what, she's a Spirit—if she loses…"

"Don't worry—because it's already over!" Tenjo Hikari shook his head on the duel platform; after confirming the Dark Magician Girl had no Chestnut Ball, he finally relaxed and slowly revealed a card: "Activate Spell Card: Sudden Mutation!"

"Sudden Mutation?" someone asked in confusion, "But you don't have a sheep left!"

"Sudden Mutation is a card that transforms a monster of the same Level into a Fusion Monster of the same Level!" Tenjo Hikari cut in. "And Fusion holds infinite possibilities!"

"!?" Serena straightened up excitedly.

"I release the Ancient Mechanical Giant on the field, and from my Extra Deck, I Special Summon an 8-Star Fusion Monster!"

"8-Star?"

"What's in Hikari's deck?" San Ze wondered, "Is it Electronic Double-Headed Dragon? But that won't work either…"

"Ah!" Judai suddenly brightened, "I know—it's that one!"

"One force guides light, another guides darkness!" Tenjo Hikari pointed to the sky, speaking as he did, "When the forces of light and darkness intertwine, Chaos shall descend!"

Appear!

Level 8, Super Magical Warrior—Chaos Tamer!

Thunder cracked violently in the sky; the Dark Magician Girl, seeing this, instinctively tapped her staff against her head: "Oh no… this is bad."

Amidst flashes of lightning, a warrior clad in full armor, wielding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, draped in a crimson cloak with black fur lining, descended slowly.

Super Magical Warrior—Chaos Tamer, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster Type, ATK 3000!

"Su…per Magical?"

"Ch…Chaos?!"

Countless students gasped: "That can't be—!"

A Fusion Monster of the Chaos Warrior and the Dark Magician!

"T-Tenjo Hikari has a Fusion Monster like this too?!" Several Fusion Army students felt their strength drain, as if they might collapse. In that instant, even the spectators failed to notice the Dark Magician Girl's distraction—those who had been cheering for her now fixed their gaze entirely on this familiar yet alien monster!

"Not done yet—I activate another Spell Card: Dragon's Mirror! This is a Fusion Spell exclusive to Dragon-type monsters, allowing me to banish Fusion Materials from my graveyard to Fusion Summon a Dragon-type Fusion Monster!"

"I banish two Ancient Mechanical Knights from my graveyard to Fusion Summon—Super Fusion Beast Laputinos!"

Super Fusion Beast Laputinos, Level 8, Light Attribute, Dragon Type, ATK 2200.

"At this moment, the power of Chaos Tamer is unleashed! I release one Light and one Dark monster on my field, and banish all monsters on your field! I send Super Fusion Beast and Thousand-Eyed Heresy God to the graveyard! Banish all your Magical Girls!"

"Ah!?"

"Wah!!!"

Chaos Tamer swung his sword, carving a deep fissure into the ground; the Magical Girls were then violently ripped from this world. The spectators who had been cheering for the girl cards now erupted in awe: "Such a powerful effect! No wonder it's a Fusion of Dark Magician and Chaos Warrior!" "Incredible! It cleared all of the opponent's monsters in an instant!"

"Even so, the opponent still has 1000 LP!" The Fusion Army leader refused to give up, hoping the Dark Magician Girl could fight on.

But the Dark Magician Girl shook her head.

How could she fight now? Having used such a monster effect—and having even checked her hand—she must have planned for a swift win to avoid prolonging the duel.

"Equip Spell: Further Fusion—"

Look!

"Pay 800 LP to revive one Fusion Monster from the graveyard and equip it to this monster."

What a clear strategy!

The Dark Magician Girl nodded vigorously.

Dark Magician Girl LP: 4000 → 0

Tenjo Hikari exhaled.

It was hard—extremely hard! The longer it dragged, the lower his chance of winning.

Fortunately, he confirmed she had no Chestnut Ball—he could act boldly.

"Let me go!" On the other side, Serena was already impatiently leaving; one student tried to block her, but she gave him no quarter, kicking the taller senior aside with a single swift motion, then sprinted over to Tenjo Hikari.

Seeing this, the Dark Magician Girl suddenly blinked and called out to the crowd: "Everyone! Thank you for your support! Even though I lost, dueling with all of you was wonderful!"

"Then surely, little sister should be free to choose her own path, right?!"

"Y-yes!" Some spectators, still stunned by the Super Magical Warrior, finally snapped back to reality, spurred by the disappearance of its image and the Dark Magician Girl's call, quickly chimed in.

"That's right, Dark Magician Girl! We support you!"

The crowd surged like waves; many teachers who had come for the spectacle began chanting slogans. The Fusion Army students no longer hesitated—they turned and fled immediately, presumably to notify their seniors in the department.

Seeing the crowd finally disperse, the Dark Magician Girl walked over to Tenjo Hikari with a smile and greeted him, waving at Judai as well.

"Hi there, Alchemist~" The Dark Magician Girl stepped forward, "I've brought you some things you might find interesting—and some cards too~"

The Dark Magician Girl is also the Dark Magic Girl; I'm just more accustomed to "Dark Magician" than "Dark Magic Teacher," so I wrote it this way. In fact, the Dark Magician Girl is also in the Magical Girl category—at least in English.

Two thousand words weren't enough, so I extended this chapter.
