Chương 654: Chapter 654 The Autistic Angel

"This wraps it up!"

Lorenzo laughed.

"B.E.S. Blaster Cannon Core, attack 'Cyber Angel Natasha'!"

The warship's energy core began charging; warheads and barrels extended all over the hull.

Target locked. A dense storm of fire erupted; missiles filled the sky like a bullet curtain. Crossing beams wove into a vast net sweeping toward Alexis's field. The lone Cyber Angel facing the barrage made for a stark contrast.

But Alexis didn't budge. "Cyber Angel Natasha, effect activate. When your own Ritual Monster is chosen as the attack target, you can negate that attack.

Natasha herself is a Ritual Monster!"

A vortex of golden magic surged up as a shield before Natasha, forming a defensive spiral that withstood Blaster Cannon Core's bombardment. The fierce barrage licked the barrier but failed to leave a mark. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Life recovery and attack negation," Lorenzo muttered, understanding. "So this angel is a defensive type?

But I'm not done. I still have 'B.E.S. Tetran' to attack!"

The second warship's core lit up as well. Power flowed in; all cannons charged. Four mechanical arms lashed out, like a predator closing in.

Tetran's ATK might not be enough to finish the kill, but at this moment it no longer had any counters.

In other words, B.E.S. Tetran's energy core was totally exposed. If it entered battle one more time, the core would be crushed and Tetran would self-destruct by its own effect.

And at that moment, the Continuous Spell "Boss Rush" would trigger, letting him freely search any B.E.S. from the Deck to the field—of course he'd fetch the ship best suited to crack the current board and secure lethal.

"Natasha's effect," Alexis said. "Attacks on a Ritual Monster are negated!"

Lorenzo: "!"

Wait—your attack negation doesn't have a once-per-turn clause!?

Only now did he realize this thing was an attack lock. Same kind of shut-in stall as Gravity Bind or Level Limit – Area B.

The warship's barrage was once again intercepted by Natasha's energy vortex—like punching full-force into cotton.

"Because the attack was negated, no battle occurred," Alexis said. "Therefore, even with no counters, 'B.E.S. Tetran' won't be destroyed by its own effect, and 'Boss Rush' won't trigger.

You can't Special Summon a new B.E.S. from the Deck."

"Tch." Lorenzo pouted.

Clearly, his game plan was to Summon B.E.S.s, spend counters for effects or battle, then when the counters were gone, let the ship self-destruct and use "Boss Rush" to morph into a new ship, sustaining pressure with a constant stream of powerful B.E.S.s.

So it was obvious—Natasha was the worst kind of matchup for him. An attack lock effectively cut his search chain; he couldn't self-destruct via battle and thus couldn't freely fetch from the Deck.

"First you had crazy direct attacks, now an attack lock," Lorenzo frowned. "Alexis Rhodes, you weren't this kind of duelist before."

"People change," Alexis said firmly. "That's called growth."

Lorenzo shook his head.

"As expected, this academy is filthy and dark. Even someone as pure as Alexis couldn't avoid being tainted. That's why the great Light is needed to purify it! 1

The Society of Light is exactly the power this academy needs most!"

"Nonsensical…" Alexis facepalmed. "You've been like this from the start. I have no idea what you're talking about."
