Chapter 1458: The Honor of Death, the Disgrace of Life

"Even now, there was not a single card left." Compared to the Soul Bird God Yan Peacock who was beginning to be interested in the battle, Sonic Bird only felt that it was difficult and troublesome, "How could he take out so many cards at once!?"

"But - luckily I got this card!" Sonic proudly showed the card depicting the falling thunder, and said, "You probably didn't expect it at all? I can clean up your front court more than once!"

"Activate the magic card [Lightning Strike]! Destroy all monsters on the opponent's field!"

The reappearance of [Guardian of the Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] on Asuka's field was beyond the expectations of [Sonic Bird]. Its attack power of 4100 points was even higher than that of [Cyber ​​Angel - Dakini-] just now. Unless [Silent Prayer - Law] was allowed to leave Asuka's field and graveyard, none of [Sonic Bird's] monsters could defeat him.

But——Who said that only fighting can destroy monsters? If clearing the field once is not enough, why not just do it again!
As the [Lightning Strike] was launched, the one who executed the [Lightning Strike] was the [Soul Bird God - Yan Kongque] who was in high spirits on the [Sonic Bird] field. He drew out the long sword in his hand and pointed it at the sky where dark clouds were emerging: "With mighty power that shakes the mountains, with the stars in my heart, my sword locks the blue sky, and I am angry as thunder!"

The lightning was guided by his sword and turned into lightning swords falling like raindrops, splashing towards Asuka on the field. Asuka felt that compared to [Sonic Bird], [Spirit Bird God - Hiko Peacock] was more like the leader of this duel.

Although Sonic was smiling with great pride, it had obviously forgotten that it had not had time to test out the third effect of the Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law, a powerful force that required the presence of the Prayer of Silent Voice - Law to be used.

Facing the oncoming lightning sword, [The Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] immediately stood in front of [The Silent Prayer - Law], threw away the mist wrapped around the two swords, transformed them into a flying dragon shadow and took the initiative to face the rain of swords.

When the confident Sonic Bird was so surprised that he couldn't help but take off his goggles and widened his eyes, Asuka's voice sounded at the same time: "Well done! Then I will also use the third effect of Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law!"

"I can only activate this when I have [Silent Prayer - Law] on my field and the opponent activates the effect of a magic, trap, or monster - negate the activation and destroy it!" Asuka's [Silent Guardian - Law Guardian] may not be very familiar with other effects, but [Lightning Strike] is something that Asuka has been facing since she first used it. She has no idea how many times she has tried to split the lightning, so Asuka named its effect -

"Rachel!"

While the Cloud Dragon was resisting head-on, the [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] slashed with his sword, instantly clearing the dark clouds in the sky that powered the [Lightning Strike]. The strike that split the lightning cleared the sky again, and also made the [Soul Bird God - Yan Kongque] look delighted: "Good, good, good! This move of yours really has some of his influence!"

On the other hand, Sonic opened its beak but made no sound as it looked at the safe and sound Guardian of Silence - Guardian of Law and the shattered Lightning Strike magic card on its backfield.

After a long while, it said unwillingly: "I have to admit that you are stronger now - but I also have a mission entrusted by Hayato-sama, and I cannot admit defeat just like that!"

"At least, I will smash your [Silent Prayer-Reason] to pieces!"

As he said that, [Sonic Bird] waved his hand: "Enter my battle phase!"

Although it is known that attacking a monster in defense position cannot cause combat damage to Asuka, at least returning [Silent Prayer - Li] from the field to the Graveyard can seal the powerful three-color Kang of [Silent Guardian - Guardian of Law]. [Sonic Bird] can't let [Spirit Bird God - Hiko Kongque] attack [Silent Guardian - Guardian of Law] itself, whose attack power is obviously higher than [Spirit Bird God - Hiko Kongque], right?

However, even at this step, Asuka still did not let [Sonic Bird] succeed, but immediately waved her hand and ordered: "You want [Spirit Bird God - Yan Kongque] to attack my [Silent Prayer - Li], right? I knew you would have this idea, but the [Silent Power] in my backcourt is not for show!"

"Although it is not as thorough as the protection of [Silent Voice Barrier], [Silent Voice Awe] should not be underestimated - before entering your combat phase, I will activate the effect of [Silent Voice Awe] on my backfield. During the main phase of both teams, you can choose to activate one of its two effects!"

"I choose to use the second effect. It can only be activated by targeting cards on the opponent's field that have the maximum number of Warrior-Type and Dragon-Type Light Ritual Monsters on my field, and destroy those cards along with this card!" Pointing at the [Spirit Bird God - Hiko Peacock] on the field, Asuka ordered, "The one I want to crush is naturally [Spirit Bird God - Hiko Peacock]!"

Before the battle phase of [Sonic Bird] came, [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] swung his sword with the intention of revenge for the previous [Lightning Strike], and slashed [Soul Bird God - Hiko Peacock]. Although it didn't seem to be injured, [Soul Bird God - Hiko Peacock] nodded with satisfaction and left the stage.

As a result, the only monsters left on the field for [Sonic Bird] are two [Soul Bird Tokens] in defense position, one [Soul Bird - Witch Crane] whose effect has been used, and only one [Soul Bird - Shinobi Crow] in attack position that has not yet used its effect. There is no Ritual Monster that can return to [Sonic Bird]'s hand at the end of the turn to allow it to trigger the effect of [Soul's Fortress] on the back field again.

Now, even if [Sonic Bird] enters the battle phase again, the attacking [Soul Bird - Ninja Crow] is no match for either [Guardian of Silent Voice - Legal Guardian] or [Silent Prayer - Reason]. Although it can use the effect to increase its attack and defense, the price of doing so is to use up the last card in [Sonic Bird]'s hand and not be able to use the effect again in the next round.

The sensible thing to do is for [Sonic Bird] to end its turn and save the power of [Soul Bird God - Princess Peacock] in the hand for [Soul Bird - Shinobi Crow] in the next turn, but -

"I still have to enter my battle phase!" [Sonic Bird] showed a determined look, "Then, use [Soul Bird - Ninja Crow] to attack [Silent Prayer - Reason]!"

"Huh? You chose to continue attacking at this time?" Asuka looked at Sonic with some surprise.

"Lord Hayato once said something that I really like." Sonic Bird flapped its wings, "It is an honor to die, and a disgrace to live!"

"Since I have been assigned by Lord Hayato to guard here, it doesn't matter even if someone else passes the test, but I will still fight with all my strength as a guardian until the last moment!"

[Sonic Bird] shouted: "Attack, [Soul Bird-Ninja Crow], and I will help you!"

"At this moment of battle with the opponent's monster, I use the effect of [Spirit Bird - Ninja Crow] and discard the last card in my hand, [Spirit Bird God - Princess Peacock]."

"Increase its attack and defense by the respective values ​​of [Spirit Bird God - Princess Peacock]!"

"Blackbird Maneuvers - Kamikaze!"

The last card in the hand of [Sonic Bird] dissipated and turned into a gust of wind that appeared on the field. Riding on this wind, [Soul Bird - Ninja Crow] attacked [Silent Prayer - Reason]!

[Soul Bird - Ninja Crow] [500/500→3000/3500]

"Although he's not human, he has the spirit of a proud duelist. That's amazing!" Asuka also got excited and shouted, "Then let's attack too, [Silent Prayer-Reason]!"

[Silent Prayer-Li] turned around with a surprised look on his face and glanced at Asuka, as if to say "Are you serious?"

Even so, she still raised her hands as if to resist, and then calmly faced the attack of the [Soul Bird - Ninja Crow] and was destroyed and sent to the graveyard.

[Silent Prayer - Justice] left the field and entered the graveyard, which did not affect the attack power of [Silent Guardian - Legal Guardian] in the slightest, nor did it reduce Asuka's basic points by even a little bit. "I'll end the round just like that." Looking at [Soul Bird - Ninja Crow] whose attack power returned to its original value after its own battle phase ended, [Sonic Bird] calmly announced the end of the round.

[Sonic Bird: 2700LP, Hand 0]

[Soul Bird - Ninja Crow] [ATK 500]

[Soul Bird-Witch Crane] [DEF2000]

[Soul Bird Derivative] [DEF1500]

[Soul Bird Derivative] [DEF1500]

【The Soul’s Base】

Although Sonic has four monsters on the field and seems to have tight defense, the existence of Soul Bird - Ninja Crow alone is a fatal breakthrough. Asuka only needs to take out a monster with an attack power of 3200 or more to attack, and the remaining basic points of Sonic will be cleared in one fell swoop. What's more, Asuka still has the Guardian of the Silent Voice - Guardian of Law with an attack power of 4100 on the field.

But Asuka had no intention of ending the duel like that. Looking at Sonic Bird, Asuka nodded and said seriously: "In return, I will also use my full-strength attack to end the battle. My turn, draw a card!"

"Then I activate the Spell Card [Seven Star Sword], banishing the Level 7☆ [Ancient Saint Dai - First Dragon] from my hand to activate this card, and draw two cards from my deck."

"Next is the magic card [Pot of Greed]. I will draw two more cards from the deck."

After two consecutive draws, Asuka's hand suddenly increased, and she first drew a card and played it: "Then in my main phase, Normal Summon this [Announcer's Divine Shaman]."

"I can only activate this when [The Proclaimer's Divine Shaman] is successfully summoned or Special Summoned. I send an Angel-Type monster from my Deck or Fusion Deck to the Graveyard, and its Level increases by the Level of the monster sent to the Graveyard until the end of the turn." Asuka took a card retrieved from the Duel Disk and displayed it, "I send the second [Silent Prayer - Reason] in my deck to the Graveyard, raising the Level of [Silent Prayer - Reason] by 1☆!"

[The Proclaimer's Divine Shaman] [2☆/Light→3☆/Light]

【Angel Family/Effect】

[500/300]

"Next, it's this card!" Asuka raised a magic card in her hand and said loudly, "Although I have used up all the [Chemical Angel Ritual] in my deck, I drew another card that can ritually summon [Cyber ​​Angel] - this [Chemical Angel Absolute Ritual]!"

"The level cannot be too high, but must be perfectly coordinated to be equal. Release the monster from my hand and field as a sacrifice for the ritual summon, and ritual summon the ritual monster of [Cyber ​​Angel] from my hand!" After a pause, Asuka waved her hand again, "However, it's not just your [Spirit Bird God] that can use the monsters in the graveyard to participate in the ritual summon. Under [Absolute Ritual of Mechanical Angel], I can also return the Angel or Warrior monsters in my graveyard to the deck as a substitute for release!"

"I return the Level 3☆ [Divine Shaman of the Herald] on my field and the Level 7☆ [Guardian of Silent Voices - Guardian of Law] Warrior monster in my Graveyard that was previously sent to the Graveyard to my Deck, so that the total Level is 10☆, equal to this card, and the ritual begins!"

Although she could have used the [Ritual of the Mechanical Angel] in the graveyard to replace the battle damage of the light-attributed [Silent Prayer - Reason] on the field, and although [Silent Prayer - Reason] alone could satisfy all the needs of the ritual summoning with its own effects, Asuka did not choose to take those "shortcuts" at this moment, but chose to "take a little detour" and perform the [Absolute Ritual of the Mechanical Angel] in the most formal way!
The mechanical altar rose up, and it was much more advanced than the altar raised in the previous [Mechanical Angel Ritual]. Asuka's [The Proclaimer's Divine Shaman] and [The Guardian of Silent Voice - The Guardian of Law] all poured their strength into it. The fires beside the altar ignited one after another, a total of ten clusters, and then a lotus flower bloomed from the flames in the altar, and golden gears rose up -

"Angel of light who hides infinite power, please appear in this world now and illuminate everything!" Asuka took the last card in her hand, placed it on the duel disk, and called out, "Ritual Summon, Level 10☆!"

"Come down! [Cyber ​​Angel - Mijuru-]!"

In the lotus, a four-armed goddess stood up, and the golden gear fell behind her like a golden wheel of merit. Even though she didn't have any magical weapons in her hands, her aura alone was superior to all the [electronic angels] that Asuka had summoned before.

[Electronic Angel - Mijuru -] [10☆/Light]

[Angel Tribe/Ritual/Effect]

[3000/2000]

"When [Cyber ​​Angel - Mijuru -] Ritual Summoned successfully, activate its effect to destroy all monsters Special Summoned from the Fusion Deck on the opponent's field, and inflict effect damage to the opponent equal to the number of monsters destroyed x 1000. Also, during this turn, [Cyber ​​Angel - Mijuru -] can attack twice during the same Battle Phase."

"Then, let's go, Sonic Bird! I'm entering my battle phase!" Asuka waved her hand and said, "Cyber ​​Angel Mijuru's attack will destroy the two Soul Bird derivatives!"

"Piercing the Rakshasa's Immortality!"

"And the attack of [Guardian of Silent Voice - Guardian of Law] is aimed at [Soul Bird - Ninja Crow]. Let's end this duel!"

"Ghosts are dancing!"

The golden gears that rotated at high speed like a chainsaw destroyed the [Soul Bird Derivative], and then the interlaced phantom sword dance was like a demon-like double-blade man that instantly killed the [Soul Bird - Ninja Crow], and the flying slash pierced through the body of [Sonic Bird], taking away its last basic points.

Facing Asuka, the collar on Sonic Bird's neck was broken by the impact of the slash, and he finally uttered: "You, pass!"

[Sonic Bird: 2700LP→0]

Then, the collar shattered, and the figure of [Sonic Bird] disappeared under Asuka's gaze, only the duel disk it had been wearing fell to the ground.

The original Japanese pronunciation of Meijuru is ビシュヌ, Viu, which is Vishnu, one of the three main gods in Hinduism.
Although Vishnu's presence is not as high as his colleagues, Brahma and Shiva, his ten incarnations are very famous. One of them is Rama, the protagonist of the Ramayana, one of the two great epics of India, and also appears in FGO.

In this case, it is reasonable for Mijuru's attack to be named Rama's Noble Phantasm (I am sure
