Chapter 394: Ghost?

Looking at the hysterical appearance of this last Doma Musketeer, Mokuba couldn't help but be lost in thought.

He thought of the past, the last of the Three Musketeers, Amelda, who had once been just as angry, and had also made such accusations against them.

"What on earth happened to this person..." Mokuba muttered to himself.

Of course, he knew that no matter what it was, his brother wouldn't ask or care... no, or rather, it shouldn't be that he didn't care, just that he wouldn't show it, and wouldn't stop because of it.

Because this is Kaiba Seto, a person who will always move forward and will never stop for any reason.

When he stepped onto this path, it was actually already decided. When he won against Gozaburo in chess at the orphanage, he climbed to the top of Kaiba Corp and even this world by his own strength.

During this period, there must have been sacrifices, and there must have been the use of disreputable means. But he had long been prepared for this, so no matter who it was or for what reason they stood in front of him, even if he was moved in his heart, he wouldn't easily show it, let alone stop his forward pace because of it.

"Set two cards, turn ends." Kaiba said indifferently.

"My turn, draw! Activate Spell card 'Pot of Magic', both players draw three cards from the deck." (Original card)

Loren drew cards again, and when he saw a certain card he drew, his movements paused significantly, and his expression also became dazed.

But it was only for that brief moment.

He added the drawn card to his hand.

"True Ultimate Dragon was bounced back to the deck, your field is empty, it's over, Kaiba Seto!" Loren raised a card in his hand high.

"First, activate Spell card 'Foolish Burial', send a monster from the deck to the Graveyard."

"I send the Machine-type 'Blowback Dragon' from the deck to the Graveyard."

Loren revealed a Machine-type card he searched from the deck and sent it to the Graveyard.

"Next, activate Spell card 'Ultimate Evolution Pill'!"

"Banish one Machine-type and one Dinosaur-type monster from your hand or Graveyard, you can Special Summon a Light-attribute, Dinosaur-type monster from your hand or deck!" (Original effect)

With a golden light, two cards exited his Graveyard.

"The Machine-type 'Blowback Dragon' discarded to the Graveyard just now, and the Dinosaur-type 'Giant Rex' are banished from the game, ultimate evolution!"

"After millions of years of evolution, the strongest creature on the surface and the power of mechanical industry combined, be born—"

"—Cyber Dinosaur!!!"

After being released as a real card, it was changed to a Machine-type and its monster effect was modified, but this card was a Dinosaur-type in the original work.

【Cyber Dinosaur, ATK 2500】

"Gain the effect of The Seal of Orichalcos, ATK increased!"

【Cyber Dinosaur, ATK 2500 → ATK 3000】

"Our fate, all the grudges, let's end it this turn!" Loren stepped forward, "Cyber Dinosaur direct attack!"

"Activate face-down card." Kaiba was completely unmoved by his roar, "Trap card 'Soul Fusion'!"

"Banish the Fusion materials from the Graveyard face-down, perform a Fusion Summon for a Fusion monster!"

"Nani!?" Loren was shocked, "A Trap that fuses from the Graveyard..."

"I fuse three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the Graveyard!"

Kaiba raised his arm high, three Blue-Eyes appeared again, rolled into the vortex of fusion and merged into one.

"The ultimate dragon of light, my strongest servant, now descend here—"

"—Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!!!"

"Roar—"

The roaring of the dragon that pierced the sky, the fused White Dragon landed fiercely, like an impassable barrier standing in front of Kaiba!

【Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, ATK 4500】

Ultimate Dragon again.

Loren's eyes were almost completely red.

Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, a monster also known as the symbol of power in the dueling monster world, looking at it was almost like facing Kaiba Seto himself.

Yes, it was also the symbol of his hatred, an obstacle that had to be defeated, had to be crossed.

Then his gaze fell into his own hand.

The last monster card remaining in his hand.

The card left to him by the man before he fell on that night.

It was also the card that had protected him countless times in the darkest moments of his life.

"Activate Quick-Play Spell 'Quick Summon'." Loren said, "Perform a Normal Summon for a monster in my hand." (Original card)

He revealed a card in his hand.

"According to this effect, I summon this card from my hand..."

"Exclusive News Photographer."

【Exclusive News Photographer, ATK 1400】

A monster with a completely different art style from what he had just used, the onlookers couldn't help but be stunned when it appeared.

Especially Judai, who possessed special talents, was even more stunned when he saw this monster.

"Kuriboh Kuriboh!" Winged Kuriboh appeared.

"Partner." Judai looked at it and nodded, "Hmm... I discovered it too. Does this card have a special power spirit?"

Kaiba frowned slightly: "This monster..."

"This is exactly the card most suitable for taking revenge on you, Kaiba Seto."

Loren said indifferently, looking at this monster that had just appeared with complex emotions.

"He is exactly the incarnation of my father, who was killed by you."

"Eh!?" Mokuba was dumbfounded.

As far as he knew, only Kajiki Ryota from the first Duel City had had something similar happen to him.

Kajiki Ryota's father was a fisherman who died in a shipwreck after going out to sea one day and never returned. After that, Ryota obtained the spirit of "The Legendary Fisherman." Since then, Kajiki had always regarded this card as the incarnation of his father.

"My father was once a reporter... a very excellent reporter." Loren said, "However, he was killed, along with everyone in my hometown... just because he went to investigate things he shouldn't have, unearthed the secrets of big figures, so he was silenced, right."

Kaiba frowned: "Are you trying to say that I did it?"

"Heh, I naturally didn't expect you to admit it at this point. But it doesn't matter. All I need is revenge, not justice, and I don't need any evidence."

Loren shouted.

"I said, let fate end here this turn, and this is the most suitable card to be the end."

"Exclusive News Photographer, attack 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon'!"

"Attack with a monster with only 1400 ATK!?"

Mokuba was stunned.

"The effect of Exclusive News Photographer!" Loren said, "When this card attacks, if the opponent's monster's DEF is higher than my ATK, do not perform damage calculation, destroy the opponent's monster directly!"

"Ah, Ultimate Dragon's DEF is higher than Photographer's ATK..." Mokuba was shocked.

If Ultimate Dragon's defense line is broken here...

Kaiba closed his eyes gently.

"Fate, huh... heh, I don't know what exactly happened, or what grudges I have with you." Kaiba said coldly, "But if I have any fate, it is only to move forward bravely, until I reach the other side where that guy is."

He waved his hand.

"Activate Trap 'Hard-Sell! Invincible! Strongest'!"

"Target a 'Blue-Eyes' monster on my field, until the end of the turn, it is unaffected by any card effects other than its own!"

Loren: "!!!"

Unaffected by any effects...

"You can no longer stop the attack command." Kaiba said coldly, "Since you overestimated yourself and challenged absolute power, I assume you must have already prepared the corresponding level of determination."

"Then as you wish! Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, strike back, and crush the lingering avenger and his ghost together!"

Ultimate Dragon's three mouths opened together, and the white light of destruction brewed and surged within them.

Loren looked up, dazed, at the endless white light sweeping toward him.

Still can't do it, huh...

Kaiba Seto is right.

Only anger and obsession, without the power to carry through everything, is just empty talk.

At that moment, he suddenly seemed to see Exclusive News Photographer turn his head and nod at him.

As if saying, it's enough.

He opened his arms and blocked in front of Loren's body.

Until the endless white light swallowed them together.

【Loren, LP 1900 → LP 0】
