How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

This powerful effect made her completely unafraid to fight against Yudo's monsters, and she was even somewhat looking forward to it, because doing so would only make Yudo's monsters nourish Black Storm!

Facing Jack's expectant gaze, Yuuto naturally wouldn't disappoint her. However, before starting the battle, he needed to make some small preparations.

"I will use the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon on the field as materials to fuse them!"

He raised his hand, and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon on the field instantly transformed into two golden orbs of light that intertwined and flew into the sky.

what?

Fusion Summon... doesn't it require a spell card called "Fusion"?

This scene, which contradicted the knowledge they had acquired, stunned Leticia and Jack. For them, who had only gained basic knowledge, this method of fusion summoning without using [fusion] was clearly ahead of its time.

Two orbs of light flew into the vortex in the sky, and at that moment, Yudu loudly announced: "The summoning condition is [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] x2!"

"Let your azure eyes converge at this moment, tearing through space with overwhelming power, and come before me! Fusion Summoning!"

"Appear! [Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon]!"

The two-headed white dragon slowly flapped its wings and descended from the center of the vortex of dark clouds in the sky.

Its appearance is similar to that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, with crystal blue patterns covering its entire body and sharp, angular scales. It looks more like a mechanical creation than a living creature.

[Dragon/Fusion/Light]

[Attack power: 3000]

It was actually summoned... but why?

Wasn't the summoning condition supposed to be two Blue-Eyes White Dragons?

The same question arose in Leticia and Jack's minds, but Yudo's words later answered their doubts.

"When [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] is on the field or in the graveyard, its card name is treated as [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!"

Yu Du's sudden mention of this wasn't just to educate them, but rather—

"Quick-Attack Magic [Ultimate Fusion] activated!"

"I'm fusing the Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand, another Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Graveyard, and a Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon whose card name is used as Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

A large blue-white vortex appeared behind Youdu, flowing like water. Youdu raised his hand and, without even looking, tossed one of his cards into it.

Immediately afterwards, two golden beams of light flew out from the graveyard area of ​​the Duel Disk, following the card that Yuto had thrown out of his hand and flying into the vortex.

"I will show you the difference in power between us. Let the image of this evolved, strongest dragon be deeply imprinted in your eyes! Fusion Summon!"

A sudden night wind blew up You Du's white trench coat, and the vortex behind him spun faster and faster, gradually forming a crystal blue round mirror in which the huge three-headed figure appeared and disappeared.

His smile grew increasingly unrestrained, and his loud shouts echoed through the streets.

"Invincible! Unrivaled! The strongest! This is the strongest and most magnificent ultimate monster in history!"

"Show yourself at this very moment! [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]!"

Three identical dragon heads emerged from the mirror, clearly divided at the chest, with the tail end resembling a double-edged axe with a spearhead.

Its patterns lit up, and reflected off its smooth, mirror-like scales, the blue light it emitted for a moment even overshadowed its silvery-white scales, making it somewhat dazzling.

"Roar--!"

It was a completely different kind of power from the monsters that had been summoned before. It seemed that the three dragon heads, which were of one mind, let out three long, overlapping roars after their bodies had completely flown out of the mirror.

【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】

[Dragon/Fusion/Light]

[Attack power: 4500]

Attack power of 3000 and 4500?

Jack was overjoyed as he looked at the two monsters on the field, because every time Yudu launched an attack, it would give her Black Blow an attack power boost of at least 3000 points.

Even if Yuwatari realizes something is wrong and stops Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from attacking, she can still wait until her turn to launch an attack herself.

That would directly increase her Black Storm attack power to 7500 points!

Meeting the other party's arrogant smile, You Du sneered.

Are you so eager for me to attack?

Then I'll grant your request!

"Let's fight!" Without choosing to activate the follow-up effects of [Ultimate Fusion], Yuwatari uttered the words Jack most wanted to hear at that moment.

"Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon's attack on CNo.96 Black Whirlwind!"

"Destructive Burst Gale Barrage!"

Got it!

Jack's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he followed up with a speech after Youdu.

"At this very moment! We will activate the monster effect of [CNo.96 Blackstorm]! This card cannot be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage caused to us by this card will also be borne by our opponent."

"And once when this card declares an attack to battle an opponent's monster, detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and reduce that opponent's monster's ATK to 0!"

Thick fog clung to the Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon on the swimming area, turning its scales black, and the wind bullets that had gathered in the mouths of its two dragon heads dissipated as its head drooped limply.

Instead, the black whirlwind on Jack's field dispersed into a cloud of mist, which then transformed into a black Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, which also gathered wind bullets in its mouth and shot them towards the Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon.

【Blue Eyes Double Explosion Dragon】

[Attack power: 3000→0]

【CNo.96 Black Whirlwind】

[Attack power: 400→3400]

boom--!

With the sound of the explosion, the exploding wind bomb kicked up a thick cloud of black smoke, completely obscuring the field where the boat was crossing.

[Yoto LP: 4000 → 600]

not good!

Yudu's base score was reduced to only 600 points in an instant by this attack, and Leticia immediately panicked when she saw this sudden large amount of damage.

How to do?

Could she interrupt the duel by hitting Jack on the head right now?

Just as Leticia was hesitating, unsure whether to use a wooden stick or an iron rod to increase the chances of knocking Jack unconscious, the smoke that had filled the swimming area dissipated.

The listless Blue-Eyes Double Burst Dragon remained safely on the field.

Jack & Leticia: "?"

"Hmph, the Blue-Eyes Twin Blazing Dragon is also immune to battle damage! And do you think that means I can't do anything to you?"

Yuuto snorted dismissively and pointed at Jack, who still believed he had the upper hand.

"How naive! I activate the monster effect of [Blue-Eyes Double Burst Dragon]! When this card's attack does not destroy an opponent's monster at the end of the Damage Step, banish that opponent's monster!"

"Dimensional Exile!"

Upon hearing this, the seemingly weak Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon's eyes lit up. It raised its claws and casually slashed in the direction of Black Blow, immediately creating a spatial rift in front of Black Blow.

The immense suction force left no room for Black Whirlwind to resist, and it was sucked in directly.

"What?!" Jack stared in disbelief at the spot where Black Whirlwind had disappeared.

Her invincible black storm is gone, doesn't that mean—

"!!!"

Seeing the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's 4500 attack power on the field before Yuto even attacked, Jack's eyes widened, and he immediately understood why Yuto had sent Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon to attack first.

"Do you finally understand?" Yuuto raised his hand, and the three heads of the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon gathered a dazzling white light in their mouths.

"So, are you ready to take this ultimate blow! Black's Assassin—no, Jack the Ripper!"

"Go! [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]! Ultimate Destruction - White Light Burst!"

Before Jack's horrified eyes, three beams of destructive white light streaked across the sky and the ground, eventually converging and instantly engulfing her figure.

"Uh-"

Jack the Ripper LP: 4000 → 0

[Yudou: Win!]

Chapter 147 Just One Day

After the duel ended, everything returned to normal.

Whether it was the floating screens or the charred marks on the ground and buildings around them caused by the breath of the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, they all disappeared after Jack's life points were cleared.

The entire street seemed to have returned to its usual tranquil state. There were no serial murders, no battles between dragons and demons, and no dangerous Holy Grail War.

The world remained as ordinary as ever; magic and Servants only existed in fantasy novels.

Apart from a little girl whose body was slowly dissipating.

Unlike the magical particles that ordinary Servants transform into when they leave the stage, although both are gold, the particles that Jack the Ripper transforms into are more like ashes blown away by the wind.

Under the white light, Jack the Ripper quickly disappeared completely before Youdu's eyes.

"Has she... been forced out of the game?"

It was the first time seeing a Servant leave the stage. Leticia walked out of the building and came to Yuuto's side, asking hesitantly.

Even though she knew the other person's identity as a Servant, it was still hard not to feel a little heartbroken to watch a frail little girl lying on the ground and slowly dissipating.

"No... if I had to say, rather than leaving the stage, it's more like I purified her, right?" Yuuto shook his head and explained to Leticia.

In reality, since Jack the Ripper's identity has never been definitively established in history, his appearance changes depending on his rank and the land he is summoned to.

As far as the Holy Grail is concerned, this process of change will not stop until the true identity of Jack the Ripper has been established...

The Jack the Ripper that Yuwa and his companions encountered was a collection of vengeful spirits of children who were not allowed to be born, a heretic Jack born from the 'victims' side.

Simply letting her leave the stage is meaningless. The vengeful spirits that exist will not be relieved by leaving the stage. They will only continue to wait, waiting to be summoned again, and then swing their blades at the society that killed them once more.

So after his victory, Yudo directly used the rules of the duel to eliminate their vengeful spirit nature and send them all to their next life.

It's quite reasonable for someone like me, a card player, to have some connection to the underworld, right? .JPG

Although he didn't know the exact number of vengeful spirits, he believed that the country's birth rate should increase next, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Leticia nodded, seemingly understanding.

In short, this should be a good ending... right?

As a devout believer, shouldn't she go to the place where Jack the Ripper disappeared and recite a prayer for him?

But the other party, as a Servant, seems to have died long ago, right?

Is it too late to start studying now?

"Hey—! Ruler! Have you guys resolved things on your end?"

The gunfire near the distant clock tower had ceased at some point.

Having removed his armor and donned modern clothes, Mordred walked over with a disgruntled expression alongside the disheveled Lion Jie Li.

Even with a jacket to block the wind, the overly revealing strapless top and hot pants still gave Leticia a chilly feeling.

The Servant's body is really resistant to cold...

"Yes, we've sorted things out here. The black team's Assassin has been confirmed to be out of the game. As for your side..."

Yuuto casually told Mordred about Jack the Ripper's fate, then carefully looked up and down at the disheveled appearance of the Red Saber duo and raised an eyebrow.

"Lost?"

"It's a draw!" Mordred loudly corrected his mistake, then gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.

Yuto's team's smooth progress made her feel even more ashamed that she had failed to defeat the black Archer.

"Damn it! I was about to win, but that Archer saw things weren't going well and just ran away! He even said it was a draw... Next time I see him, I'm definitely going to smash Clarentt right in his face!"
