"Timelord Michion, Direct Attack!"
Michion threw a punch, and a vacuum vortex suddenly caved in before its fist. Transparent crimson flames burst from the vortex, gear-shaped ripples visible in their flowing core. The fire spread outward in a fan, scorching the air into honeycomb-like spatial wrinkles.
"Uaaaargh—"
Vetrix's entire body seemed to ignite in transparent flames, forcing a pained growl from him. It was a voice utterly unsuited to his childlike frame, sounding like a wounded beast.
[Vetrix, LP 2800 → LP 1400]
Vetrix was stunned. "Why? Its attack power is clearly 0! My Life Points... How could my Life Points...!?"
"Who told you Timelords only had effects that bounced Monsters away?" Kira said. "Timelord Michion's ability is that, when it battles, it halves your Life Points."
Vetrix: "!"
Judai, standing nearby, could not help saying, "A Timelord? That feels incredibly powerful. It can halve the opponent's Life Points just by attacking, so that means no matter what kind of Monster they use, it can't block its damage?"
As he spoke, he looked toward Yubel beside him. "It looks like there's more than one Timelord, and they seem to have a whole powerful Deck combination too. Yubel, maybe you still aren't as good as—"
Yubel shot him a vicious glare and snapped, "Fine. Then go live happily ever after with your precious Brother, the Duel King. Maybe he'll even give you one of these stupid Timelords to use. I'm clearly no longer good enough for you. Figure things out yourselves from now on."
Judai hurriedly laughed it off. "I was joking. You're still the best, Yubel."
Yubel snorted, turned her gaze elsewhere, and ignored him. Still, she felt a little unsettled inside.
This Timelord series was downright bizarre. More importantly, it really was competing in the same lane
