"My turn. Draw!"
It was Vampire’s Curse’s turn again.
He was one of the last remaining elites of the blood race. The vampires had managed to fight the Supreme King’s local garrison in this region for days without collapsing, even taking down several commanders along the way—this vampire had no small part in that.
This was his first time running into someone who opened by yanking his namesake straight out of his Deck. Even he had been taken aback—but he’d responded well, defused the assault, and seized the advantage.
The advantage is mine!
Now all he had to do was press it and finish this as fast as possible.
"I activate the Field Spell—Vampire Kingdom!"
He raised the card high.
Magic erupted. With a rumble that shook the earth, an ancient, dangerous black castle rose from the ground, bringing with it endless darkness and dread.
A blood-red moon hung high in the sky—neither bright nor gentle like a normal moon, but an eerie, saturated crimson, as if soaked in blood.
Thick, uncanny mists boiled up and wrapped the castle in an icy, inexplicable fog. The silhouette wavered within—now showing, now hiding—like the legendary city of demons.
"Vampire Kingdom gives my Zombie monsters +500 ATK during damage calculation when they battle."
Vampire’s Curse lifted another card from his hand.
"Next, I’ll borrow this one’s strength!
I Tribute my Vampire Bat to Tribute Summon, Level 5—
—Vampire Lord!"
The bat cloud circled twice and vanished. Laughter echoed out of the black mist. A graceful vampire lord snapped his aristocratic cloak and alit lightly on the ground.
[Vampire Lord, ATK 2000]
"Oooh, another vampire who looks pretty strong," Jaden was already chatting with the onlooking bloods. "Your leader’s got game."
"But of course."
At first they thought the boy was strange, but now they were chatting comfortably.
"Milord is one of our race’s foremost generals. You lackeys of the Supreme King are no match."
"Told you we’re not with the Supreme—eh, forget it," Jaden grinned. "Don’t worry, he can’t beat Kira."
"Tch. Big talk."
"..."
Vampire’s Curse had already bellowed, launching his attack.
"I attack directly with myself—Vampire’s Curse!"
Face hard, the vampire sprang, spreading his single wing as he dove at Kira.
As Jaden had said, Kira didn’t panic even with an empty field. He flicked a set card: "I activate the Continuous Trap: Amazoness Onslaught.
Once per turn during the Battle Phase, I can Special Summon an Amazoness monster from my hand."
"Special Summoning mid-battle, huh? A wall?" Vampire’s Curse snorted. "But before my cursed power—"
"A wall? Not at all."
Kira snapped his fingers and smiled.
"From my hand, I Special Summon—
—Amazoness Swords Woman!"
