Mike Owen realized he still had room to maneuver. He immediately unleashed his magic power, controlling the Magic Guidance Ball as it shot upward, trying to shake off this Equipment Card that had somehow "come to life."
But after landing its first strike, Honedge did not pause in the slightest. It spun its blade and unleashed a second slash!
Its base attack of 2200 increased by 50% due to the effect of "Consecutive Slashes" as this strike was delivered, becoming 3300 points!
With that slash, the Magic Guidance Ball's Life Barrier nearly burst apart, scattering fragments of magic power in every direction.
Its magic power also plummeted from 5901 points to 2621 in the blink of an eye!
"Rise!"
Seeing Honedge become even more imposing after its second strike, its entire body seeming to be wreathed in whistling currents of air, Mike Owen's face flushed red as he pushed his magic power to its limit.
The Magic Guidance Ball finally shot explosively upward, accelerating away from the terrifyingly forceful Honedge!
Yet Honedge's momentum did not diminish. With a single turn, it pursued from behind, thrusting out its third strike!
Mike Owen instinctively sensed that the Magic Guidance Ball's remaining 2621 magic power was nowhere near enough to withstand this third strike.
He hurriedly poured in more magic power and pointed forward. The Magic Guidance Ball made a right-angle turn and shot toward the Blue Duelist Platform.
The moment it flew away, he decisively cut off his control over the Magic Guidance Ball, pressed his hand onto one of his Magitech Cards, and began chanting the Normal Summoning Technique.
Continuing to control the Magic Guidance Ball to evade was a certain path to death.
If Dark likewise used magic power to interfere with his Magic Guidance Ball, Honedge would catch up
