Defection / The Man Who Fears What He Longs For ...

The Lunalight Blue Cat let out a meow in response, and crescent-shaped light emanated from its body, transforming into the background image of You Zhi.

"Young man, you are right. This battle will determine the peace of the planet. We must not allow you to interfere with the Allied Forces' advance."

The Woodscale Dragon descended carrying Naturia Beast, flanking the two Fabled.

"It seems that a peaceful resolution using words is not possible."

Seeing this, Andras sighed, then raised his jet-black sword, a ferocious smile on his face, and said, "Then let's kill each other happily!"

Chapter 150 Defection

[Fabled Andwraith (6-star) Light]

[Lineage: Evil, Flight]

[Level: 48]

[Attack Power: 2400 (3120)]

[Defense Strength: 1900 (2470)]

[Fiend, Effect: ① Omitted ② If a monster is sent from your opponent's hand to the Graveyard, you can target that monster; Special Summon that monster to your field. Negate the effects of the monster Special Summoned by this effect.]

Upon seeing the opponent's effect description, You Zhi, though unsure of its actual effect after being transformed into a spirit ability, guessed it would be related to destroying spirits. Becoming wary, he immediately activated the prepared Spell Card "Moonlight Fusion".

"A spirit cat lingers in the darkness, a phantom butterfly wielding purple poison, drawing upon the moon's gravity to condense a vortex and be reborn as new power, displaying a dreamlike dance under the Moonlight, Fusion Evolution, appear, Lunalight Cat Dancer!"

Two rainbow lights descended upon Lunalight Blue Cat in a vortex-like pattern. One rainbow light contained the outline of her own figure, while the other contained the outline of Moonlight Purple Butterfly. Then, the crescent-shaped pattern on Lunalight Blue Cat's back transformed into a full moon, and her figure also changed in the light, becoming more slender and powerful.

When the light faded, a catwoman appeared on the scene, wearing a gorgeous mask, black tight-fitting stockings, a skirt with flowing tassels, a gold ring on each wrist and ankle, and holding two sharp daggers.

[Lunalight Cat Dancer (7-star) Dark]

[Spectrum: Electricity]

[Level: 27]

[Attack Power: 2400 (4800)]

[Defense Strength: 2000 (1771)]

[Beast-Warrior-Type, Effects: ① Possesses Absolute Protection Barrier capable of withstanding combat damage; ② Consumes a certain amount of life force to activate, generating clones equal to twice the number of the opponent's elf clones; ③ Each attack deals 100 true damage to the opponent.]

"A very beautiful cat spirit, but beauty is not the same as strength. With just that, you can't beat me."

Andras laughed loudly and swung his longsword, unleashing a sword aura formed from Dark-type spiritual energy.

The Lunalight Cat Dancer neither dodged nor evaded; an invisible shield of energy appeared in front of her, blocking the sword energy.

This isn't a spirit skill, but rather a spirit trait, derived from the card effect "cannot be destroyed in battle." It can block all skill damage unless the opponent has the Penetration trait (dealing damage where attack power exceeds defense power) or the Pierce trait (directly attacking the player). However, the spirit itself cannot attack while the trait is active.

Having blocked the attack, Lunalight Cat Dancer flashed behind Andras, her two daggers crackling with lightning as she stabbed down.

Andras swung his sword backhand, simultaneously unleashing arrow-like feathers from his wings in an attempt to force his opponent back. But Lunalight Cat Dancer ignored her and continued her assault. A dagger struck the black greatsword, and an unimaginable force surged forth, deflecting the greatsword. Then, a second dagger slipped in, striking him squarely in the chest.

In an instant, lightning burst forth, arcs of electricity scattered, and Andras, severely wounded, groaned as he flew out, crashing to the ground and leaving a long trail. Lunalight Cat Dancer was also hit by the feathers, retreating wounded, and landing lightly with a backflip.

Although both were injured, their injuries were completely incomparable. Even disregarding the lineage advantage, Andras had not expected his opponent to unleash such power, and couldn't help but wonder, "What happened?"

"When Lunalight Blue Cat undergoes a special evolution, its attack power will double."

From a cost-benefit perspective, You Zhi shouldn't explain the reasons to his opponent, but for him right now, having fun is far more important than winning or losing.

Of course, he still concealed one thing: this effect only lasts for one round, and now Lunalight Cat Dancer's attack power has dropped back to 2126.

"To possess such an ability, one must not underestimate any opponent."

Andras stood up shakily, his body still crackling with electricity; in that instant, half of his life force was gone.

The Moonlit Dance Cat Princess gave her opponent no chance to breathe. With a light tap of one foot on her black-stockinged foot, accompanied by the crisp sound of bells, she launched wave after wave of attacks with graceful dance moves, seemingly containing a certain rhythm.

The lineage's advantage compensated for the difference in ability. Each flash of lightning would slightly paralyze Andras's movements. Moreover, even if he completely blocked the attack, Andras would still be attacked by invisible energy blades, exploding into a bloody flower. His armor was completely ineffective in providing protection.

Knowing that continuing the fight would inevitably lead to defeat, Andras hurriedly Raven, who was in a sorry state under the attacks of the Woodscale Dragon and Naturia Beast, "It's about time to get serious. If we keep this up, we might not be able to get back."

"Wow! You lost way too fast! Couldn't you have held on a little longer? I was planning to fight back when I was cornered, but now it's all gone."

Raven looked displeased, but seeing Andras being bled repeatedly, he didn't want the same thing to happen to him. He immediately burst out of his speed to get rid of the Woodscale Dragon and the Naturia Beast. Then, he gathered powerful spiritual energy on his body, which shone with a dark red light. His body changed shape, and he seemed to evolve on the spot.

As the light faded, a Demon God with jet-black bat wings on its back and wearing heavy armor appeared on the field.

[Fabled Valkyrus (8-star) Light]

[Lineage: Evil, Fighting-type]

[Level: 56]

[Attack Power: 2900 (3480)]

[Defense: 1700 (2040)]

[Fiend, Effect: Discard 1 Fiend monster from your hand to activate this effect. Draw 1 card from your Deck. This effect can only be used once per turn.]

The newly evolved Valkyrus blasted away the Naturia Beast that had been chasing it with a single punch. Then, it charged forward despite the Woodscale Dragon's Leaf Storm, letting the sharp leaves scrape against its armor and sparks fly. With unparalleled brute force, it slammed its opponent away. Afterward, it slammed its arms into the ground, and a Dark Pulse spread out indiscriminately.

Before the Naturia Beast and Woodscale Dragon could even get up, they were attacked again and injured once more. Lunalight Cat Dancer hurriedly dodged, Andras took the opportunity to break free from their entanglement.

You Zhi raised his leg and kicked, shattering the Dark Pulse that was spreading in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Valkyrus's eyelids twitched, and he stopped his charge, abandoning his idea of taking her hostage to control Lunalight Cat Dancer.

"Phew~ Surprisingly strong. Looks like I can't have a fair fight with you guys."

Andras raised his black longsword and fired a black energy blast upwards, which exploded in mid-air like fireworks.

"Signal flare!"

You Zhi realized the other party's intentions.

Indeed, this was the case. The Fabled, which had originally been attacking the Worms alongside the Ally of Justice, suddenly turned against them and attacked its own allies. One of the closest squads even rushed towards them.

The Naturia clan had already received orders, and upon seeing this, they remained calm despite their alarm. They immediately engaged the defecting the Fabled in battle, maintaining order for the Allied Forces' offensive.

Seeing the rapidly approaching the Fabled, Woodscale Dragon said to Naturia Beast, "Old friend, it seems we must also show our true strength."

Chapter 151 Lord Ye's Love of Dragons

The Naturia Barkion and the Naturia Beast intertwined, both radiating light and permeating each other, appearing as if they were a Polymerization.

Valkyrus, naturally, wouldn't just stand by and watch. He raised his arm to charge head-on, but You Zhi activated the E-rank Spell Card "Mars" in time, summoning a Fireball that hit the opponent and exploded, causing only minor damage. However, it slightly delayed the attack, and the smoke obstructed his vision, causing him to miss the best opportunity to interrupt.

As the light faded, the two spirits merged and underwent Fusion Evolution. However, their appearance did not change much after the evolution. Unlike the transformation from the Hyosube to the Great Sea Serpent, there was no dramatic change in size or species. From the outside, it was just a Woodscale Dragon transformed into a wooden armor covering the body of the Naturia Beast. However, the power of the two had been perfectly combined, resulting in a strong metamorphosis.

[Naturia Exterio (10-star) Earth]

[Lineage: Grass, Dragon]

[Level: 55]

[Attack Power: 2800 (2940)]

[Defense: 2400 (2520)]

[Beast-Type, Effect: While this card is face-up on the Yugi, you can banish 1 card from your Graveyard, send the top 1 card of your Deck to the Graveyard, negate the activation of a Spell/ Trap Card, and destroy it.]

With a low roar, the Naturia Exterio unleashed its power, its body slamming into Valkyrus, who had just dispersed the smoke. At the same time, Vine Whip sprouted from its wooden armor, binding and pulling Andras.

Valkyrus struggled fiercely, throwing punches at the Naturia Exterio, but the wooden armor blocked most of the damage. He tore at the Vine Whip with all his might, but new Vine Whip would sprout and entangle him.

Only after being dragged a thousand meters away did Valkyrus unleash Air Cutter from its wings, using its lineage advantage to shred the vine Vine Whip, forcefully repelling Naturia Exterio and creating distance.

Upon seeing this, the Fabled that had come to support the two leaders had no choice but to split into two groups, each choosing one side to help.

As the Naturia Exterio pressed its forelimbs into the ground, vines arched out like earthworms, spreading to Valkyrus's feet, where thick, tree-trunk-like thorny vines burst forth from the earth.

Valkyrus flapped its wings, soaring into the air to dodge the attack. Then, it gathered air currents in its palms to form a vortex, pushed forward, and a tornado roared out.

The Naturia Exterio unleashed Dragon Pulse to defend against the attack, but it was slightly inferior and failed to completely neutralize it, being forced back several steps by the residual force.

"I have to admit, you two have indeed become much stronger after combining your powers, but that alone is still far from enough to make you my match."

Valkyrus laughed as he absorbed the Fabled into his palm, activated his special ability to sacrifice it, and transformed it into powerful dark energy. Then, with a single wave of his hand, the violent energy instantly transformed into streaks of dark rainbow light, which plummeted away like a meteor shower.

There was no way to dodge such a comprehensive attack, Naturia Exterio had no intention of dodging either. It gathered Dragon-type energy all over its body, forming a thin film on its surface, and launched a frontal charge with the Dragon-type skill "Dragon Rush".

The jet-black rainbow light struck the Naturia Exterio, but it failed to break through the energy shield surrounding its body and was completely extinguished.

"How could this be!"

Valkyrus was greatly alarmed. His energy was clearly stronger than his opponent's, so why hadn't he been able to break through?

It's one thing if it didn't break through, perhaps the opponent's energy is more solidified, but it didn't even have the slightest effect of weakening or hindering. This is clearly an immunity to damage. Does the opponent possess resistance to being destroyed by effects?

Naturia Exterio does not have such resistance; it possesses the ability to sacrifice life points to negate Spell Card. The reason it is unaffected is because it is currently within the effect range of the God-Binding Mound.

As Ten-Star spirit, Naturia Exterio is blessed by environmental magic, gaining powerful resistances such as not becoming a target of effects and not being destroyed by effects.

The reason he forcibly dragged his opponent away from the previous battlefield was twofold: firstly, to make the Fabled split their forces, and secondly, to gain the benefits of the God-Binding Mound. He had considered this from the very beginning, and the wisdom of the elder should not be underestimated!

Without any reduction in power, the Dragon Rush, at its full strength, struck Valkyrus head-on. Even without any type advantage, it still caused massive damage, sending Valkyrus flying and shattering its armor.

To protect their leader, the arriving the Fabled quickly surrounded and attacked Naturia Exterio.

The Naturia Exterio is least afraid of being surrounded by weaker beings; no matter how many there are, it's useless. Immediately, it shook its body, and seeds shot out, exploding above the Fabled's head and scattering dense powder.

The Fabled that inhaled the powder became drowsy and lost their fighting spirit. Before long, they collapsed to the ground and fell asleep like toppled dominoes.

"A bunch of useless idiots."

Valkyrus clicked his tongue, about to launch a sneak attack, when he felt his body weaken. He saw slender vines growing wildly from the shattered parts of his armor, binding his body tightly.

"Parasite Seed! When was it planted? How did it completely escape my senses?"

At that moment, Valkyrus sensed danger and felt the urge to retreat. He was about to call Andras to retreat with him when he turned around and saw that Andras was in a worse situation than himself. He was being beaten back by the cat spirit wielding a short sword, and his wounds were increasing at a visible rate. He could die at any moment.

This is not surprising. Andras had already lost half his life to Lunalight Cat Dancer's burst damage. Even with higher offensive and defensive capabilities, he still couldn't gain an advantage against the disadvantage in the system. Moreover, Lunalight Cat Dancer also has an absolute protective shield and the characteristic of dealing 100 true damage with each attack.

As for the Fabled that came to support, they were all killed by the hundreds of clones summoned by Lunalight Cat Dancer using her second ability. Even those that managed to survive were severely injured and on the verge of death, losing the ability to continue fighting.

"How infuriating! Am I really going to fall here? I refuse to accept this!"

Controlling the Thunder Oni is only the first step. When the Ally of Justice are at a disadvantage, he helps Allied Forces fight against the Worms; when the Ally of Justice are at an advantage, he helps the Worms fight against Allied Forces, constantly stirring up trouble.

Andras's goal was not only to continue the war, but also to spread it across the entire planet, thereby engulfing the entire Fabled race hiding in the underground world.

Only by doing so could he have a chance to turn the tables and dethrone Leviathan, the leader of the Fabled.

This was the script he had planned.

Before he could even take the first step, the pregnancy was about to end prematurely. How could he accept that?

"Whether you're willing or not, life is always full of surprises. If you can't even appreciate this kind of fun, it seems you're just a hypocrite who only pretends to enjoy life."

You Zhi shook his head in disappointment, then activated the Spell Card "Moonlight Purple Butterfly" in his hand, causing Lunalight Cat Dancer's attack power to surge by 1000. He said, "Stop delaying! Use Thunderbolt to finish off the opponent in one fell swoop!"

Chapter 152 Hidden Worries

Lunalight Cat Dancer gathered energy, her entire body crackling with electricity, which she released through her dagger, creating a chaotic dance of electric snakes.

Andras brandished his longsword, creating a black curtain in front of him to shield himself from the electric shocks. However, after the previous exertion, his spiritual power was almost depleted, and his situation was already precarious.

You Zhi didn't use Spell Card to finish the job because his spiritual power was almost depleted while assisting the Silent Magician and the Celestial Gold Knight in the previous battle.

Although he could participate in battles himself, he is currently a trainer and should respect his established role.

After all, an interesting life needs a sense of ritual.

Just then, a horizontal tornado rushed in, hitting Lunalight Cat Dancer and forcibly stopping its attack as it was knocked away.

"Andras, there's no chance of winning this battle. Let's go!"

Valkyrus, who had escaped Naturia Exterio despite being injured, rushed into the battlefield and intervened.
