Soul of the Dragon

Chapter 68: Doomsday Part 3

"Before I activate Rasca's ability, I'll be setting one card facedown. Now, who should get the honor of having their lifepoints reduced to one?"

"The fuck?" Fish's mouth gaped in surprise.

Goodwin smirked. "By skipping my battle phase, I can reduce my opponent's lifepoints to one, but who to pick? Ah, I know, Elizabeth. So sorry, but-"

"Go ahead. I can take it." Lise gritted her teeth in preparation for the attack.

"Actually," Goodwin's smile grew nastily. "I was thinking it would be so much more painful to watch your driver's lifepoints reduce to one instead! Rasca, lower Yusei's lifepoints!"

"No!"

Yusei: 1

Rasca's attack washed over Yusei. His grip tightened on his controls as he struggled to keep riding, his runner skidded in circles dangerously. Fortunately he managed to right himself and continue.

"Are you okay?" Lise asked worriedly, feeling the tension in Yusei's body ease.

"Define okay," he responded heavily.

"Never mind..." It wasn't until Lise's arms retreated that Yusei realized she had wrapped them around him.

"I end my turn."

"My turn!" Crow declared. "I summon Blackwing Fane the Steel Chain in attack mode! His ability is rather nice since I can bypass all your monsters for a direct attack without the use of Jack's monster!"

(Blackwing Fane the Steel Chain: Atk: 500 Def: 800)

Goodwin: 11900

"Signing off!" Crow grinned with a flourishing wave.

"But before you do, I play my trap Shadow Spell," Jack stepped in. "This trap lowers Quilla's attack points by 700. And now that it's my turn, I'll have Red Dragon Archfiend attack!"

"That's as far as your dragon goes I'm afraid, Jack," Goodwin said. "I play the trap Destruct Potion. It destroys Quilla, and I gain lifepoints equal to its original attack points. It also means Inti rises. Still want to attack?"

Goodwin: 14400

Jack scowled deeply. He certainly wanted to continue to attack and destroy Inti, but he also knew that would be suicide. "I'm ending my turn."

"My turn then," Yusei said. "I set one monster in facedown defense positon and play the Speed spell Double Summon. With this I special summon Shield Warrior in defense mode. I end my turn with a facedown."
