Ina cursed under her breath and sighed with a worried expression on her face .
“That Pendulum monster is right . The Paradise of Purity has unparalleled defense, but its offense leaves much to be desired for . In fact, I have never won against it before . Boy, you have been watching for quite some time now . Isn’t it time you did something?”
Brendel nodded . A green glow cast upon his face with the Card of Fate’s information floating on it . He placed a certain card in his hand and pressed it lightly .
“There is something I can do, but you have to buy me some time . ”
“I’ll try to reduce the number of Nightmare Forges, but it will come at a hefty cost,” Ina stared at him for a moment before saying . She pointed her finger, and the Platinum Dragon abandoned its opponent, instead charging towards the Pendulum Golem . The Devil raised its cold-flame greatsword, cleaving down on the dragon’s back . The Platinum Dragon let out a thunderous roar of pain, but it continued to thrash on the ground . The Pendulum Golem dared not try to stop it, so it could only look at its Nightmare Forges get destroyed . Due to the difference in size, the Nightmare Forges were annihilated within seconds .
However, a price had to be paid . The Devil, wrathed in blue flames, walked towards the Platinum Dragon . The dragon, with its wound gushing golden blood, had its back pierced by the Devil once more, the cold flames engulfing its heart . The magnificent creature raised its head, a look of unwillingness in its eyes, and bit down on the Devil’s muscular neck . However, the dragon had long lost its strength . Its teeth slid off, leaving only light wounds on the Devil’s neck .
There the dragon lay unmoving, like a mountain in the middle of a lake of gold .
“Ina, this youngster has made you rash . Now that your Platinum Dragon is out of the way, my victory has been assured,” the Pendulum Golem sneered .
Brendel felt strange that the deer lady was so silent . He turned around to look at her, only to see her grinding her teeth .

“I’m sorry,” he apologized .
“It’s fine,” Ina let out a sigh . “That monster’s monotonous look is pissing me off, like it thinks it can represent master . That’s not how master is! I know that Planeswalkers are supposed have noble beliefs and persistence . So what if it is good at calculating? I’m going to teach that thing a lesson and let him know how wrong he is!” Ina clenched her fist, anger flashing in her eyes .
For the first time, Brendel was not annoyed by her .
He placed his palm once more on the card, staring into its pitch-black depth, its color like the flames of hell . Its color meant that it was a contract card . Brendel felt a prickly cold feeling emit from the card, and the connection between the Planeswalker and Law started to build .
This card was not his only Dark creature . The card depicted a Bone Dragon who was being revived, depicting death and defeat .
The card was Graveyard Revival . The Dark element flowed around Brendel as he tapped on Rougen's Swamp, Forest of Death, Water of Forsaken City . A total of 5 Dark EP flowed into his Elemental Pools . The Elemental energy activated the effects of Law, opening a gateway to another world .
Cards flew out from the Graveyard . His eyes glanced past his strongest Fireclaw Chieftain and his favorite Wind Spirit Spiders . Instead, he picked out a white card, Pristine Archangels . Black tendrils of energy was injected into the card by Graveyard Revival, and the Pristine Archangels’ corpse was reanimated by that corrupted energy . Its wings were pitch black, skin as white as bones, and its eyes blood red . The Archangels, once holy, had been brought back with the ‘Undead’ status .
A ball of mercury with orbiting brass tracks appeared from beneath Brendel’s cloak . He inserted three fingers in the ball, and paid 5 Fire EP .
The Archangels’ silhouette appeared in the Eternal Orb . Both the Archangels stepped into the battlefield, and their summoning effects activated .

“When Pristine Archangel enters the battlefield, pick a card from the Graveyard and put it into your deck . ”
-Fireclaw chieftain has been summoned .
-Wind Spirit Spiders have been summoned .
It was a magnificent sight . Green portals appeared all over the room as the Wind Spirit Spiders were summoned . Brendel was the first Planeswalker to enter that place in over a thousand years . Both Ina and the Pendulum Golem couldn’t help but stare at the grand army before them .
“My lord, where are your enemies?” Ropar the Fireclaw Lizard Chieftain wielded a flaming trident, his eye slits carrying the coldness of a reptile . With only his stare, he managed to freeze the Death Sentinels in place . Dark creatures are naturally afraid of fire . While the Death Sentinels may not have a consciousness, they still couldn’t overcome their nature .
“So you still had some strong summons!” Ina shouted with glee . “Good! Attack the Nightmare Forges! I’ll defend, you attack, as long as you can break its defense, we still stand a chance of victory!”
“Destroy the Nightmare Forges,” Brendel commanded .
Ropar rushed headfirst into the enemy lines . He was a whirlwind of fire . Even though he was only a few levels above the Death Sentinels, the Fire element gave him a huge advantage . “Petty tricks!” The Pendulum Golem snarled, raising its hand and pressing its last Death Sentinel card on the scales .
The already crowded battlefield suddenly became a sea of black bodies . The Pendulum Golem was trying to overcome its weaknesses with sheer numbers, but before he could boast, a purple web appeared from the skies, trapping the Death Sentinels . Andrea had recovered at that moment too, thus she rejoined the battle . Of course, she still wore a bored expression, like this high-level spell was nothing to her .
The battle raged on, but very quickly, the Devil writhed in green flames came face to face with Ropar . Even though it was injured by the Platinum Dragon, its Summoning element was not a good match for Ropar . Before Brendel could command his Undead Pristine Archangels to distract it, Ina said, “Leave that one to me . ”

She placed her hand on her Grimoire of Life and said, “Sacrifice . ”
Brendel was shocked . The Grimoire of Life was the core summon of the Paradise of Purity, it could fully recover all the health and energy of every ally creature on the field . Upon using it, if they could not win the battle quickly, they were bound to fail .
However, Ina was firm with her decision . She tore apart her Grimoire, while its energy transformed into a ray of light that encompassed the entire field, fully healing every friendly creature, including the Platinum Dragon . It opened its wings, roaring out loud, proving that it was alive .
“Holy Shit!” Brendel could not suppress his surprise .
Ina turned around, her expression pinched . “Without the Grimoire, my deck has lost its core power, so I won’t be able to last long . Boy, I have created this opportunity for you, can you defeat the Pendulum Golem quickly? If you can’t, then it’s better if we escaped . ”
Brendel looked at Ina, his hand resting on the hilt of Halran Gaia . He was slightly conflicted . There was a chance to win, but he still needed more time .
“What are you waiting for?” Ina was calmer than Brendel had expected . She managed to discern his thoughts . “You’re waiting for a chance to draw a card, aren’t you?”
“You’re setting up for your next move?”
“You have a sure-win card in your deck?” Ina bombarded Brendel with questions .
Smart lady . Brendel nodded his head .
“What are the chances of drawing it?”
Brendel was waiting for Holy Swords .
He could tell that the Pendulum Golem really admired a Planeswalker’s abilities . In truth, the Pendulum Golem’s own true power was much more than what it was showing with its Planeswalking . But if Brendel was given a chance, if he could destroy the Golem’s core, then both him and Ina stood a chance at victory .
“I only have a few cards left in my deck . The chances that I will draw that card is extremely high . ”
“Your next draw is in 15 minutes, I don’t think we can hold out for that long . ” Ina clenched her teeth before saying, “Aha! I have an idea! Check out my barrier . ”
A glowing curtain of light appeared behind Ina .
