"Not with the cultist watching." Yumi leaves her deck hidden somewhere in her skintight, ultra-thin bodysuit. Spoiler: Spiritual Resonance Roll 99+10=109 crit. success Yes, Airknight Parshath is certainly Yumi's spirit. A fairly strong one too, though the professor has only recently become aware of the connection. While on the PDA, Parshath was the woman's signature monster, so this isn't surprising to learn.
"The connection is strong enough that I can feel it anyway. You're right, about that. Though, your own duel spirit isn't the only one you can form bonds with. Maybe later we should add a few new ones to properly call on once we can make a proper expedition. Though...you'll never quite have as strong of a connection with other ones as your own." Julia looked almost meditative for second as she thought about the meaning. “The archangel who acts as the defender of the Sanctuary In The Sky against the Archfiends…his rival is the Infernal General, Mefist. Now, off the top of my head, I can’t tell you about anyone whose like that. I don’t know if you know anyone who fits that description, but…” Julia pictured Takashi and Zera who were on the search for the sanctuary. Parasth serves the archlord out of loyalty until he turned corrupted. Parasath continued to serve him and turned to darkness himself. But he became disgusted with himself and turned against his master and opposes the dark lords. Parasath eventually came to regret his crimes, but he still did a lot of damage and the whole point of his eventual return as the avenger was he can’t take back all the wrong things he’s done. Takashi and Yumi were likely intertwined. And both could potentially risk leading each other down a very dangerous road. “I think later you should meet a student of mine. I couldn’t bring him along for this, but you two might be more connected already than you would be willing to believe.”
[So far I'm mostly just trying to get Dark Magician back on the field, so something to do with that.] "I hope it's more impressive than the crap you've shown so far." Adam grins as he sees what he's drawn. "I play the spell card Mausoleum of the Emperor and sacrifice 2000 life points!" Spoiler: Mausoleum of the Emperor "And I'll use it to bring Dark Magician back onto the field!" Adam declares. Spoiler: Dark Magician
"Of course," Tenma says, hooking her legs with her arms and, showing a surprising amount of strength for his size, lifting them up until her knees are even with his hips. He tries to smile reassuringly at her as his dick is up against her pussy. "This might be a little uncomfortable at first..." he says as he starts to push inwards, going slow as the crown of his manhood begins to penetrate her womanhood.
"I would feel a pull guiding me to the vault if a warding spell was triggered. However, I do not know if non-magical security measures are in place." Dinah tells the pair of students. "Where's my Shiranui Squiresaga?!" Michio doesn't even try to keep her voice quiet. "Oh..." The enslaved nun looks almost apologetic. "That card is kept on Mistress Carley's person. There are other cards, yen, jewelry, and other goods stored here, if you're interested." Spoiler: Magical Resonance Roll 19-10(difficulty)=9 strong fail Felicia doesn't notice any spells within the vault.
"Oh?" Yumi asks, curious. "How intriguing...Yes, I would very much like to meet him. Who is he? What can you tell me?"
"So we will have to deal with that Carley..." Felicia sighed, thinking she could have left everything the the professors. "Fine, for now we should see what else they have here..." She said as she enters the vault, not feeling anything from within. But still... with how big this is, I doubt they bothered putting a label on these boxes. The red-head thinks to herself, closing her eyes, I hope this works. Felicia takes a deep breath, before, Come on, partner, where are you? Calling out to her beloved deck.
[Good job!] A grand, pyramidal monument rises from the jungles, ascending higher and higher with the two duelists (and Yumi and Julia) carried easily over a hundred meters into the sky. As Adam sacrifices his own essence in order to summon Dark Magician, he feels a terrible burning deep within his chest, eating away at him to provide the energy needed for the legendary Spellcaster. The mage in purple reappears on the field, as the nun's field spell, Jurassic World, is destroyed by the one Adam played. [Anything you want to do before attacking? Assuming you're going to attack with the mage at all.]
Adam grits his teeth as he feels the pain inside his chest, but grind viciously at his foe. "Your move."
Jessica wears an embarrassed expression. "I've, uh, already broken my hymen, so..." Tenma's organ gradually sojourns into the shy girl's narrow passage. Her legs tighten around the young man. She sighs in contentment as his length continues to venture into her warm depths, the gentle invasion seemingly not painful for the woman despite her apparent lack of experience. Jessica wraps her arms over her partner's shoulders to keep herself steady. "Feels good...Do you...want to go faster?" Her voice is quiet, but hints of need are already present in it.
"His name is Takashi. His chosen card is the angel Zera. I don't know how much you know about the history.....but it's delicate." Julia spoke calmly, still partly observing the match unfolding, but more confident that Adam would secure a win, without her intervention anyway. "Zera is a warrior who searched for the sanctuary in the sky, but falls into darkness. There is a one version of him that stays pure, but there's also a version of him that gets his wish only to fall too corruption later. So, if a duel spirit represents a person's true self...." She said nothing, allowing Yumi to draw the same conclusion. "I'm still unclear on how to properly grow him and keep him moving in the right direction." Julia paused for a moment before looking even more focused. "...I'm not necessarily not at any risk either." She didn't expand on it, but she thought of it. The tribe of the Ice Barrier were once great spellcasters and warriors who were masters of ancient magic. While there's no clear history to it if they came first or somehow the Ice Barrier's rituals drew them into the realm, but they arrived. They fought the best they could against the enemy but were pushed into more and more desperate tactics, releasing an ancient sealed power to defeat them. The rest of the details are blurred, but one thing is for sure. They released something. So overwhelmingly powerful it destroyed the army of the Fabled in a single night. But the story of the sorcerer tribe does not have a happy ending.
"I'm dueling this Carley, just so you know." Michio asserts. "She's made it fucking personal." Spoiler: Commune Roll Tyrant 31+10(Connected)=41 average Earthbound 71=71 good She hears a voice, but not the one she was calling out to. What...is needed...? A wheezing tone reverberates within her mind. Spoiler: Spiritual Resonance Roll 33+10(Connected)=43 weak fail Felicia is unable to feel her original deck within the racks of deposit boxes. Maybe her cards are also being carried by a cultist?
"Yeah, yeah, just be careful you don't end up like... her." Felicia points to Dinah. No, I wasn't... er, well, do you feel anything from this place? She was surprised to hear the insectile voice, but rather than shoot it down, she attempts to find out if it could help search for something of interest. However, as Felicia is unable to sense her deck, and searching through all these boxes would need a lot of time. "Hey, Dinah. Do you know where my deck is, the Red Dragon Archfiend." She asked in a curious tone, idly opening some nearby boxes to see what they had inside.
"You know, I expected you to have a bird-themed deck, considering you like Horus so much. I think I'm actually a little disappoint that you use magicians instead." The nun faux pouts. "Anyway, I'll draw!" She looks at her hand. "Hmm, I'll switch Black Ptera to Defense Position..." The flying dinosaur falls back to protect it's master. "...and I'll Set a monster face down. Your turn! Hope you like feeling impotent!" Spoiler: Turn 7 Roll Adam 69=69 good Nun 51=51 average [Like the last one, Adam draws something which is useful.]
Spoiler: Commune Roll 49+10=59 weak success While she recalls the history of Valkyrus' clan, Julia feels a deep, regretful sadness fill her heart. "You meant that Parshath is...my true self?" Yumi seems suspicious of the idea. "You look concerned. What is wrong? Adam is still doing well."
The voice seems to almost hum for a second in it's rasping tenor. Yes...a few spirits...more mortal souls...ten who are...good broodmothers...one with the power...of the night...none of my kin. It coughs. ...an ancient foe...Be cautious...he is not far... "I think that one's still with Mistress Angelica." Dinah says. "I'm not sure if she's here yet. I can't find her without being discovered."
"I'm not sure." It was hard to say. She only knew a bit about it. Even then a lot of the details to her were unclear. Especially... It was only a theory. But there was some speculation that the three dragons of the ice barrier weren't even the true targets or reason for the Fabled's invasion. But that much was even beyond her digging. "And in a sense. Your duel spirit doesn't bond with you by accident. I'd recommend looking into some of the stories behind the cards later too. From what I understand, the creator and original artist of duel monsters was quite the history buff himself. I never met him or anything, but he has a rather dramatic flair to him from what I've seen on tv and I got...sources on it. From what I hear, he definitely used a lot of the true history when he was making them. There's even a kind of theory going around that he-well, forget that. Even if you believe all this other stuff, that one is still kind of hard to swallow.....though not impossible." Julia's face scrounged, thinking, but forgot about it, deciding that she'd have to check more into that later. "So, quick version. Monster monsters have a good version and a bad version. Why I think the cult is so scared of the Shinaruni is because they're one of the few clans that have no dark side. But that's just a guess."
What? Felicia was at a loss as the spirit spoke to her, it was... a lot more talkative then the previous voice. But at the same time was a lot more confusing. B-broodmothers... one with power of the night? The red-head blushes realizing that the spirit was still talking about impregnating others. But as the caution about an ancient foe was given. This is... getting bigger, and bigger... Felicia mumbles, just as Dinah informs her where her card was. "So that bitch has it. Where does she usually stay in this place?" Felicia asked, growling a bit, Her I wouldn't mind giving to you. She thinks, wanting payback for the humiliation she suffered thanks to the big tittied nun.
"Hmph. Tell me, what do you worship, exactly? You haven't brought it up once. You must be a really shitty nun. Unless Felicia was right and you're just a cosplayer - not that there's anything wrong with that." Adam eyes his opponent up. "You wear you costume very well." He chuckles. "We'll see how impotent I am in a moment, mon cherie." The Frenchman draws his card, smiling as he sees it, before playing it. "I sacrifice the Chaos Sorcerer in my hand to play Card Rotator!" Spoiler: Card Rotator As the nun watches, her monsters move from their defensive positions, pivoting themselves for an attack. "But that's only the beginning. Consider closing your eyes, mon petit - this next part might be a little scary. I summon King of the Swamp!" Spoiler: King of the Swamp Adam searches his deck for Polymerization as the ground before the great mausoleum opens up into a massive, disgusting bog. Rising up from the misty water comes a horrific face made of clay, moaning in anger at the nun, Adam grins as he finds his card and shuffles his deck. "But that's not all. With the Swamp King's effect, I can use it to transform into the fusion partner of a card already on the field. As he speaks, the clay monster rises higher from the swamp, its form shifting, growing more solid as its 'skin' turns jet black. The nun suddenly finds herself staring up at a dragon, its eyelids opening to reveal hateful red orbs glaring at her. Spoiler: Red Eyes Black Dragon "A fearsome beast, isn't he? Don't worry, you don't have to look at him for long. I activate Polymerisation, and fuse Dark Magician and Red Eyes Black Dragon together!" Spoiler: Polymerisation Wizard and beast are sucked together into a whirpool, and a blinding light flashes through the shadow. When the nun's eyes readjust, she sees that in their place stands a heavily armored battle mage, radiating with power. Spoiler: Red Eyes Dark Dragoon "And just in case you thought one of your pathetic cards could beat Dragoon's attack, I have one last trick. I sacrifice Aleister the Invoker from my hand, giving Dragoon an extra thousand attack points!" Spoiler: Aleister the Invoker One of the cards in Adam's hand shines with magical energy, which then rises up above him, travelling to Dragoon, whose power radiates even further. "Now, Dragoon - exterminate her pathetic lizard!" Adam orders an attack. As Card Rotator exposed the monster she had face down, he goes for the one with the lowest attack points to do maximum life point damage. "Oh, and with Dragoon's special ability, I'll destroy your other monster, too."
"...Am I supposed to be angelic, then?" Yumi looks down at herself and giggles. "Perhaps a fallen one?" She grins, amused by the idea. "Do you mean to say that the girl with the eyepatch is pure and innocent? She did not strike me as particularly goodhearted."
