Chapter 102: Fist meet Magic
Sorry for the delay, guys. I've been pretty busy. Next week might also be delayed, but I will try my best.
For the remainder, when both Seto are present. Seto Kaiba will continue being Kaiba, and Priest Seto will be Seto.
[Lork Aknadin Current Form]
[3rd POV]
"Is that really you...?" Yuna whispered, her voice trembling.
With a shaky hand, she reached out. "K... Kaiba..." she groaned, pulling herself from the rubble. As she stumbled forward, Seto rushed to catch her, his face tightening with concern. "Your face..." His eyes darkened as he noticed the blood smeared on her lips.
It was as though the floodgates of her emotions had finally burst. For five long years, Yuna
had devoted herself to caring for Kisara, burying thoughts of her home deep inside. But now, wrapped in Kaiba's arms, she broke down, tears streaming uncontrollably.
"Does it hurt?" Kaiba asked gently.
"Idiot... Stupid... Dumb..." she pouted and gripped his shirt, "Why are you so late..."
Kaiba smiled wryly and patted her head, "I'm sorry... But I'm here now."
From a distance, Aknadin watched the intimate moment with a scowl. His pride was wounded from being ignored, and he secretly cast a spell. But before it could take effect, Blue Eyes White Dragon lunged at him, and Aknadin barely dodged the attack.
Frowning, he turned to Kaiba, who was glaring at him with the corner of his eyes. His expression was eerily cold, and that same hostility was transmitted through Blue Eyes White Dragon's growl.
"Just sit still. I'll handle this," Kaiba commanded.
Yuna frowned, wiping the last of her tears. "I'm not going to just sit back. I've got a score to settle," she hissed. Knowing her stubbornness all too well, Kaiba gave a curt nod.
"Fine, but take a breather for now." He sighed, resigned, as Yuna reluctantly sat down. Reaching into his coat, Kaiba pulled out several clay tablets and handed them to her. "These belong to you, don't they?"
Yuna's eyes widened as she picked up one of the tablets, her surprise quickly turning into a bright smile. "Thank you..." She clutched them tightly to her chest, her heartbeat quickening with excitement.
Her fingers traced the familiar symbol of a dragon etched onto the tablet, and her grin deepened. With her eyes closed, she could feel the energy of the beings trapped inside, their presence pulsing through her. Determined, Yuna opened her eyes and, with a resolute nod, shattered the tablets against the floor.
*WOOOSH*
Suddenly, a radiant light poured from the cracks in the tablets, flowing into Yuna's body. Clenching and unclenching her fists, she felt whole, like a missing piece of her had finally returned.
"Yuna!!" Kisara appeared from the side, rushing to hug her tightly. "I really thought!"
"I'm alright," Yuna reassured her with a warm smile. "I just need a short break. But shouldn't you be focused on Seto?"
"I've tried..." Kisara bit her lip in frustration. "No matter what I do, nothing's working."
Yuna's gaze shifted to Priest Seto, who stood in the distance, motionless like a puppet. With Aknadin entirely occupied by Kaiba, his control over Priest Seto had weakened.
"Keep trying. I know you can do it, Kisara," Yuna said with confidence. "I'll make sure Aknadin doesn't interfere."
"Okay..." Kisara nodded, letting out a relieved sigh, but her curiosity got the best of her as she glanced at Kaiba. "By the way, who is he? He looks so much like..."
Yuna scratched her cheek, laughing awkwardly. "He's... um, my Seto," she said, smiling bashfully and avoiding eye contact.
"I see..." Kisara mumbled, her expression shifting to a pout. "So that's the guy you choose over me, huh?"
Yuna sighed. "Just go and save your Seto." As Kisara was about to leave, she called out, "Wait! Could I borrow some Ba, please?"
Kisara's frown melted into a smile. "Only if you promise to kick his a**."
Yuna grinned, nodding as they clasped hands. "Good luck, Kisara."
"You too." With that, they split off, each preparing to face their respective battles.
Meanwhile, Aknadin barely evaded Blue Eyes White Dragon's devastating beam, only to be pursued again as the dragon lunged forward. Soaring into the air, Aknadin conjured multiple black spheres and hurled them toward the dragon.
With a mighty sweep of its wings, Blue Eyes White Dragon deflected the spheres, which exploded harmlessly against its scales. In a flash, the dragon burst through the smoke, its jaws snapping at Aknadin, who narrowly dodged once more.
"All that talk, and all you can do is run away," Kaiba taunted, his voice laced with arrogance and Aknadin's face twisted with rage, a vein pulsing on his forehead.
Despite his calm exterior, Kaiba could feel his insides boiling with fury. When he arrived through the portal in the dead of night, he split off from Yugi and the others, who were searching for the Pharaoh.
Sensing something, Kaiba slowly made his way towards the palace in the city, and inside, he was relieved and horrified by what he had seen. Spotting Yuna about to die, his body spun into
action.
Uncertain of the logic behind his actions, Kaiba trusted his instincts. He summoned Blue Eyes White Dragon, and with a deafening roar, the monster unleashed a blast that sent Aknadin flying. Only after confirming that Yuna wasn't seriously injured did Kaiba finally allow himself to slightly lower his guard.
But the seething hatred he felt toward Aknadin remained. Kaiba was determined to make him
pay.
Gritting his teeth, Aknadin fired off a series of magical attacks in rapid succession. Yet, none of them could pierce the impenetrable scales of Blue Eyes White Dragon. "Kuh... What a powerful spirit..." he muttered through clenched teeth.
Desperate, Aknadin raised his hands to the sky. Dark chains erupted from the ground, wrapping tightly around the dragon's limbs. Blue Eyes White Dragon howled in fury, thrashing against the bindings, but the more it struggled, the more chains reinforced its hold.
Seizing the opportunity, Aknadin hurled several black blades directly at Kaiba. Blue Eyes White Dragon tried to shield its master with its tail but only managed to deflect half of the
incoming projectiles.
Kaiba barely managed to dodge, but the black blades still grazed his side and face, leaving fresh cuts in their wake. As he touched the wound on his cheek, his scowl deepened while Aknadin's confidence surged.
"Without that spirit protecting you, you're just like any other weak mortal..." Aknadin
sneered.
Kaiba smirked coldly. "Yeah? And without your magic tricks, you're just an old man who's outlived his usefulness."
"You... you bastard!" Aknadin roared, his anger blinding him. His attacks grew more savage, each one fueled by rage. Kaiba's wounds multiplied as he struggled to evade the relentless onslaught, the cuts on his body deepening with each strike.
*WHOOOSH*
Here's a refined version of the passage:
Kaiba rolled to the side just as Aknadin's assault tore apart the ground beside him. Blue Eyes
White Dragon struggled to break free, but the chains tightened with each movement,
trapping the mighty creature.
"What will you do now?!" Aknadin cackled, his voice dripping with malice. "Now die!!"
Despite the grim situation, Kaiba remained unfazed. With calm precision, he dodged every one of Aknadin's attacks. His mind was clear, and he knew he needed to buy as much time as possible. After all, who said he was fighting this battle alone?
*BOOOOOM*
Suddenly, a bright orange flame blasted into Aknadin's back, sending him crashing to the ground with a scream. The sheer force pinned him to the floor. As the flames subsided, Aknadin turned with a furious glare toward the source of the attack, his mask barely hiding hisn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Let me out...
I will protect you...
"Who are you..." I mumbled to the voice.
Your Spirit and Soul... Your forever guardian...
Summon Me... Call upon my name...
Words continuously flowed into my head, and I frowned. Gradually, I lost control of my lips,
and I uttered in a trance:
"With scales white as the moon and eyes blue as the sky...
Please respond to my desperate cry...
Let my enemies succumb to your might...
I summon you, Blue Eyes White Dragon, take flight!"
*WOOOOOOSH*
A surge of energy enveloped me, accompanied by a thunderous roar. I turned to see a majestic
dragon, its white scales shimmering in the light as it flapped its mighty wings. At that
moment, I felt an unbreakable connection to this divine creature.
"My spirit..." I whispered in awe.
Regaining my composure, I fixed my gaze on Aknadin, who was momentarily transfixed by
"Blue
the sight of my Blue Eyes White Dragon. Raising my finger to point at him, I declared, Eyes White Dragon, attack!" Without a moment's hesitation, the dragon unleashed a brilliant blast of white energy, incinerating Aknadin in a dazzling display of power.
[3rd POV]
Meanwhile, in the outside world...
Aknadin coughed violently, blood pouring from his mouth and streaming down the crack of
his mask. He could feel the remnants of the consciousness he had injected into Seto being
obliterated, leaving his mind in disarray.
Before he could react, a large stinger pierced his body. Hissing mischievously, the Starving Venom Fusion Dragon hurled him toward the Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand. How had it come to this? Aknadin had always believed his power was unrivalled, that not even
a sacred guardian could stand against him. Yet here he was, being tossed around like a ragdoll.
While he thought he could manage when it was only Blue Eyes White Dragon and Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand, Aknadin couldn't believe his eyes when Yuna summoned a second dragon, pressuring him even further...
"Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Yuna shouted as the two dragons opened their mouths, revealing a fierce glow of orange and purple. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Wipe him from the face of the earth!" Kaiba commanded, and the
white dragon responded in kind.
In a synchronized assault, the dragons unleashed their devastating breaths, merging into a
swirling tempest of white, purple, and gold. In a final, desperate bid for survival, Aknadin screamed and conjured a pale black shield, bracing for the impending onslaught. BOOOOOM
Here's a refined version of your passage:
He gritted his teeth as the heat from the three attacks seared his arms. Ignoring the pain
coursing through his body, Aknadin poured all his power into reinforcing his shield. If he could survive this onslaught, he might find a way to escape and recover... As the shield held firm, a slow smile crept across Aknadin's face. Yes... as long as I maintain this
spell... But he had forgotten that Yuna and Kaiba weren't the only ones fighting against him.
"My spirit, Blue Eyes White Dragon, attack Lord Aknadin!" Kisara shouted fiercely, having awakened from Seto's mind.
"GAH!" Aknadin screamed, hastily conjuring another shield behind him. "Perish, you traitor!" Priest Seto roared, launching a powerful spell with his Millennium Rod,
blasting the already weakened shield.
With attacks converging from all sides, the barrier Aknadin had painstakingly constructed
shattered under the relentless onslaught. A blinding explosion erupted, illuminating the
night sky and momentarily turning it into day...
When the sky returned to normal, Aknadin's body dropped down from the sky. His body was completely charred, and his limbs were broken. His regenerative ability has stopped working, and he can only wait until his body shuts down completely.
"H...How..."
"You kept talking about our efforts being useless..." Yuna approached him and muttered
coldly, "But in the end, it was your greed and the power that you borrowed being useless..." "Y... You!!!" Aknadin gasped, and Yuna turned her back towards him.
"Take your last moments to reflect..." She spoke calmly and walked away to where Kaiba and
Kisara were waiting.
"No... no... I WILL AT LEAST TAKE YOU WITH ME!!!" Aknadin threw himself towards Yuna,
purplish flames gathered in his hands, "DIE!!!"
However, already expecting this, Yuna merely sighed in disappointment, "House Dragonmaid... Finish him..."
Before Aknadin's attack could land, a tall woman in a servant uniform appeared and punched
him in the face, shattering his mask. Breaking his guard, the maid grasped his collar with one
hand while clenching her fist with the other. With a smile, House Dragon Maid tossed him into the air and unleashed a loud cry:
"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA
ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORAAAAAAAA!!!!" In just three seconds, Aknadin was struck dozens of times in various areas of his body. With one last punch, his was sent flying into the air. With a thud, Aknadin's corpse lay on the ground, and his body began to emit steam, gradually returning to its original form before he
was given Zorc's power.
"Farewell..." Yuna nodded briefly at his corpse before turning seriously at her friends. Despite
the fierce battle that occurred moments ago, she knew that there was no time to relax.
Zorc Necrophades will soon arrive, and they have a lot to prepare...
I hope you enjoy it.
