Draw it! The Sword Called Card!!!-2
The seawater that had seemed to crush the field, as if the moon were a hole in a drain, was being sucked away with a gurgle.
The tidal wave created by the [Deep Sea Monster Leviathan] was nullified by the suddenly rising moon.
“The effect of [Deep Sea Monster Leviathan] is now negated.”
Kang In-ho, pointing his index and middle fingers forward and striking a Gotcha pose, declared firmly.
The spectators outside the barrier cheered, shouting Kang In-ho’s name at the top of their lungs.
“…Shit.”
Of course, with each increase in their shouts, the tips of Kang In-ho’s ears turned red.
“What do you think you can do by blocking just one effect? I still have my attack right. [Deep Sea Monster Leviathan]’s ATK is 2500, and [Empen, the Ominous Harbinger]’s ATK is 2700. You can’t compete with a monster with only 1000 ATK!”
As Bloni reached out, an eel-shaped monster opened its mouth wide and charged at the purple-haired woman.
“[Deep Sea Monster Leviathan]! Crush that damn purple hair!”
“[Sprinting Novel-chan]’s effect activates! The battle damage I receive this turn becomes 0.”
“But the battle continues as is. Leviathan destroys Novel-chan. And [Empen, the Ominous Harbinger] destroys Pia-chan too.”
Kang In-ho’s monsters were cleared from the field by the attacks of the two giant monsters.
“Inho, are you going to keep stalling? Why don’t you just surrender?”
Bloni said, sweeping back her long hair.
“All you have left is [Moon Guiding the Wildness] and one card in your hand.”
Bloni counted the cards.
“With a total of three cards, including the one you’ll draw next, you can’t get rid of Leviathan and Empen! Turn end!”
As Bloni ended her turn, Kang In-ho’s duel disk presented the next card.
With sunken eyes, he looked at the card he had to pick.
Kang In-ho checked the field once more.

The giant deep-sea monster and the horrifying omen-like monster were facing him.
The stench of the monsters’ breath, devoid of even a shred of reason, and the tingling pressure that followed.
Kang In-ho swallowed.
“Man… why am I… getting nervous?”
To loosen his stiffening body, Kang In-ho laughed at the fact that he was playing a card game right after a Dimensional Shift, but he couldn’t ignore the beads of sweat running down his spine.
“My turn. Draw.”
After taking it out with his finger, he checked the card’s text.
“You’re right. I can’t change the situation on this field with just three cards.”
At Kang In-ho’s murmur, Bloni wore a triumphant expression.
“So… if you don’t have enough cards, just draw more, right?”
“What?”
“I summon [Serializing Author] from my hand!”
As soon as he put the card he had just drawn on the duel disk, a man was summoned to the field.
The man with vacant eyes and dark circles under his eyes held a notebook and pen.
“[Serializing Author]? Did I use that kind of card?”
A voice was heard from somewhere.
“[Serializing Author]’s effect activates! Declare the type of card and draw. If the type of card drawn is the same as the declared type, the effect can be activated once more. The type of card I will declare is [Monster Card].”
Kang In-ho didn’t react to it and reached out to activate the effect.
As Kang In-ho’s declaration ended, [Serializing Author]’s eyes glowed purple.
“Draw a card. [Monster Card]! Since it matches the declared type, I activate the effect once more. Go! [Serializing Author]! Serializing twice! The type of card to declare is [Magic Card]!”
As the author’s eyes glowed once more, a card was drawn from the duel disk.
“Draw a card. [Magic Card]! Since it matches the declared type, I activate the effect once more. Serializing three times! Declare [Monster Card]!”
“Draw a card. [Monster Card]! Serializing four times!”
“Serializing five times!”
The author’s serialization continued until the number of cards in Kang In-ho’s hand reached eight.
“A crazy card that draws seven at once…!”
“No, that’s totally cheating….”
“It’ll probably be banned next quarter.”
The crowd’s reaction was one of shock itself.
“Good. A perfect hand.”
As Kang In-ho, who had scanned the drawn cards, showed a satisfied smile, Bloni, whose patience had reached its limit, raised her voice.
“You’re always like that!!”
A voice filled with deep anger echoed through the space.
She chewed on her lower lip and shot words at Kang In-ho.
“Every day, every day, duel! Duel! Duel! Even when we’re on a date, when we’re eating, when we’re watching a movie! You were always thinking about duels. I’m sick of it now!!”
“……..”
Kang In-ho’s body stiffened at Bloni’s bombshell.
“I didn’t want to say this….”
Bloni’s voice was mixed with tears. As if dredging up shameful memories, her face was contorted in pain.
“W, when we, sh, shared our love… when you described it as [Fusion], I was so, so humiliated!!!”
“……..”
Kang In-ho lowered his head.
It wasn’t his doing, but the shame was his to bear.
“I hate duels. I wish duels didn’t exist… I miss you before you fell into duels.”
Bloni’s hands began to tremble.
“Then I realized.”
Bloni, whose eyes had turned black, giggled like a madwoman.
“M, maybe this world where everything is duels is actually crazy? Maybe this world where you can’t even get health insurance without a deck is actually wrong? Maybe this world where you have to pay more taxes if you don’t win at a certain level in tournaments is absurd? So… so….”
An explosive energy erupted from Bloni.

Kkieeeeek
The two monsters Bloni summoned also roared in response to her energy.
“I’m going to get rid of all the duels in this world with this death duel! And Inho. I’ll be sure to save your soul too!!!”
‘Wouldn’t it be right for her to win?’
Kang In-ho sincerely thought.
But Kang In-ho couldn’t make a choice to lose on purpose.
Because duels were a serious matter.
“I set three cards and end my turn.”
[Serializing Author]’s ATK is 1300. Even with the effect of [Moon Guiding the Wildness], it’s ATK 1800. It wasn’t at a level to attack Bloni’s monsters.
Kang In-ho placed three cards face down on the field and ended his turn.
“It’s my turn. Draw! Activate the effect of [Deep Sea Monster Leviathan]. Destroy all monsters other than this card!”
At Bloni’s declaration, Leviathan created another tidal wave.
“You didn’t forget about [Moon Guiding the Wildness], did you? Your tidal wave…!”
“Because it’s holding onto the tidal wave from the previous turn, it can’t block this tidal wave!”
As Bloni said, the tidal wave created by Leviathan covered the field without being affected by gravity.
As [Serializing Author], swept away by the tidal wave, was destroyed, only the three face-down cards remained on Inho’s field.
“A direct attack with Leviathan and Empen, huh.”
As Kang In-ho said, wiping the sweat flowing down his forehead, Bloni shook her head.
“No! Activate the magic card [Dividing Substrate] from my hand. I can summon two [Substrate] tokens by sacrificing my monster card! Sacrifice [Deep Sea Monster Leviathan] to summon two Substrate tokens!”
There were now three monsters on Bloni’s field. Kang In-ho narrowed his eyes and examined the substrates.
The ATK of the tokens, which had the appearance of Slime, was 500. A paltry number compared to Leviathan.
“Two tokens by sacrificing a monster with a monster destruction effect… what are you thinking?”
“Hehehe….”
As if she had seized victory, Bloni showed a satisfied smile.
“So, how great of a monster are you going to summon….”
Kang In-ho stopped speaking midway.
A summon that sacrifices three monsters.
Something came to mind.
Bloni, holding a card with her index and middle fingers, raised it high into the sky.
-Hwiioooooo
A huge wind gathered around Bloni. An unusual vibration and pressure began to descend on the space.
A pressure that crushed his body covered Kang In-ho.
“N, no way…!”
Kang In-ho’s widened eyes turned to Bloni’s card.
“That’s right!”
Bloni, realizing his thoughts, shouted.
“It’s not a monster.”
“It’s a Divine Doctor!!!”
“Appear in this place and mercilessly trample the enemy.”
As Bloni continued her incantation, the energy gathered in the card spread in all directions.
Flash. Lightning struck in the empty space, and the earth began to rumble.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The sound of the vibration grew louder and louder, and his body bounced involuntarily at the heavy footsteps.
“The strongest, most terrifying, and worst Divine Doctor card.”
“Come forth! King Krush!!!”
“What the hell? Why is that coming out!!!”
Along with Kang In-ho’s scream, a giant dinosaur descended on the field.
