No sooner had the Relinquished appeared and devoured the Maiden in Love than it transformed again. A denser darkness wrapped that hideous body; shrouded in black mist, it seemed to rapidly level up and evolve. In mere moments its mass swelled, becoming a form several times more terrifying than before.
Thousand-Eyes Restrict, summoned!
[Thousand-Eyes Restrict, ATK 0]
Anime is anime, after all—the 3D version of Thousand-Eyes Restrict would be a final boss fit to carry an entire horror film. Being brought out via holographic projection only made it more grotesque and dreadful.
The girl stumbled back two steps, too scared to look straight at the monster.
"Thousand-Eyes Restrict’s effect: once per turn, absorb one opposing monster as an Equip to gain its ATK and DEF," Kira said evenly.
"Let’s start by taking back ’Alchemist of Black Spells,’ shall we?"
Countless horrifying eyes opened at once, as if a thousand pupils flashed together.
Terrifying magic rode the darkness and swallowed the Magic Refiner without debate.
[Thousand-Eyes Restrict, ATK 0 → ATK 1200]
Blair herself was the one running a NTR control deck, yet within a single turn all the monsters on her field had been NTR clean by the opponent. Blair’s feelings were complicated.
"Battle," Kira said. "Thousand-Eyes Restrict, direct attack."
Despite the crushing fear and pressure, Blair steadied herself. "Then I activate my set card! Trap Card—Intruder Alarm - Yellow Alert! When the opponent declares an attack, Special Summon a monster from my hand and force that attacking monster to attack the summoned monster instead!" (Anime effect)
Blair revealed the monster in her hand.
"I Special Summon another ’Maiden in Love’ from my hand!"
[Maiden in Love, ATK 400]
"And at this moment I also flip my other set card! Quick-Play Spell—Inferno Reckless Summon!" Blair said. "When a monster with 1500 or less ATK is Special Summoned, Special Summon as many copies of the same name as possible from Deck, hand, and GY in Attack Position.
"So I summon all three copies of ’Maiden in Love!’"
[Maiden in Love, ATK 400] x2
The crowd hissed in unison.
Good grief—three Maidens, all cockroach-tough and hard to kill. And every time you attack one, you risk your own monster getting NTR into her control. What kind of NTR defensive line is this?
The pure-love warriors were about to cry.
"But Reckless Summon has a drawback," Kira said. "Since you summoned three Maidens, I can also choose one of my own monsters and Special Summon as many copies of that name as possible."
"Yes."
Blair held her breath.
Her heart was pounding. She thought, surely he doesn’t have three copies of that Thousand-Eyes, right?
If Kira pulled out three Thousand-Eyes Restricts here, it would be a kill shot.
"How could I have three of such a rare card?"
Kira laughed.
"But I do have three copies of another monster on my field. I Special Summon two more ’Magical Exemplars.’"
[Magical Exemplar, ATK 1700] x3
Kira: "Intruder Alarm - Yellow Alert also forces the attacking monster to attack the summoned monster.
"So Thousand-Eyes Restrict attacks ’Maiden in Love.’"
The Thousand-Eyes’ strike swerved; the remotely-controlled Alchemist of Black Spells clubbed the Maiden again.
