Chapter 37: Dungeon Dice Monsters Part 2

"You might've gotten one of my monsters, but I'm not done with you yet! Dice roll!" Otogi rolled his dice. He then placed one of them on the field. Akia was expecting a monster to pop out, but, instead, it was a chest. This was yet a new element that Akia still didn't make full sense of.

"I'll end my turn here," the owner of Black Clown concluded.

Akia deduced that either Otogi didn't have any movement crests or he didn't have any attack crests. either way, she was planning on ending this match quickly before he got out his big guns. She rolled her dice. Both a green and a yellow ended on a star crest. The other was a black one that landed on an attack crest, giving her a total of 1 attack crest. She took her green die and pushed down, right at the left edge of her farthest dice platform, extending next to Otogi's own platform. The monster that materialized in the middle was a higher level than all the other monsters on the field. It was Firewing Pegasus (ATK: 30 / DEF: 20 / HP: 20). To top it off, it was a flying monster. Akia read the description of her monster on her display board. Since it's a flying monster, she has to use 2 movement crests for one space. However, flying monsters were allowed to fly over other monsters and items. Also, only another flying monster can attack them.

"I guess I landed a pretty good one here." Using up all of her movement crests, she moved Bubonic Vermin up to Yaranzo. Using up her attack crest, she destroyed Otogi's monster once more. "I end my turn here."

"I roll." Otogi was starting to feel on edge. He didn't expect her to be this good right off the bat. It was like she had read the rules of the game. He didn't understand why she was pulling it off this well. He summoned The 13th Grave (ATK: 10 / DEF: 0 / HP: 10). Which paled in front of Akia's other monsters.

"My turn? I roll!" The red-eyed girl exclaimed. A black die ended on a 4 movement crest, and both a red and a yellow die ended on the summon crest. Being attracted to the red colour more, Akia decided to summon it, connecting it to her last dice platform. The monster that materialized filled her with so much excitement she almost screamed from it.

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon (ATK: 40 / DEF: 20 / HP: 30)!"

"What?! That's not possible!" Otogi yelled out.

Using her four movement crests, she moved the Red-Eyes two spaces, considering it was also a flying monster. She knew she needed another 6 movement crests to make it to Otogi's heart points. She also needed three attack crests. She knew that once she had all those, she would win. "I'll end my turn for now."

"No! I won't let an amateur and a cheater like you defeat me!" Otogi exclaimed in denial.

"You keep saying that I'm a cheater. Would I really need to cheat when I'm so good at games?" Akia asked with a smug smile.

Otogi clenched his fists. He didn't want to answer, since he had no answer. He rolled his dice. He was able to summon a powerful monster of his own: Orgoth the Relentless (ATK: 20 / DEF: 20 / HP: 50). Using his movement crests, he moved it right in front of his heart points, protecting them from the eventual attack.

It was Akia's turn. She rolled 3 movement crests and two attack crests. Using up two of those movement crests, she moved her Red-Eyes closer to Orgoth. "I end my turn."

Everyone was watching, feeling just how tense the game was. Otogi rolled. For this turn he didn't obtain any summons, but moved his Ryu-Kishin up to Akia's Bubonic Vermin. If he got past it, he can get to her heart points. "I'll attack your annoying Vermin!"

"As if I'd let you! I use one of my defence crests!" The black-haired girl countered. Doing so, the attack had no effect on Akia's monster, since the defence and attack were the same value. Feeling powerless, Otogi ended his turn. During Akia's turn, she rolled enough movement crests to get to Orgoth. She also rolled two attack crests. "Things are finally looking up! I attack your Ryu-Kishin with my Bubonic Vermin!" Akia's monster easily destroyed Otogi's who stood there, watching it all unfold. "Next... I attack your Orgoth with my Red-Eyes!" Red-Eyes' attack being 40 and Orgoth's heart points being 50, Otogi's monster was still standing, but barely. He didn't know what to do. Orgoth couldn't attack Akia's Red-Eyes since it was a flying monster.
