Continue the duel.

You look to see the man grab his head. His eyes widen and his nostrils flare. His eyes are trained directly on both Amara and Niki, and it's not difficult to tell he doesn't have the most pure intentions on his mind. You then see a purple mist rise up around his feet. His eyes glow white, and his suit begins to strain against the bulging muscles beneath. Though when you look closely, you also see a tint of energy around Amara as well.

"Hmm. I believe he is gaining power from the women in play," Meti says. "If I am correct, I believe I succeeded in figuring out mine before you. That is good fortune."

"That's his new power? Seriously?" You groan.

A pulsating power engulfs his hands. "Girls... Girls!" he shouts.

Yikes dude.

"I wonder what is happening now. If you wish to do something, feel free to do so." Meti nods.

"Hah hah! Thank you, my giantess." He throws both of his hands forward and a cone of flashing rays engulf your entire field. Both Amara and Niki cover their eyes, but there's no escape in any direction. The energy doesn't pierce them--no injuries are present at all. Though as the lightshow continues, you notice something else happen instead. Every article of equipment they have down to their weaponry vibrantly glow every colour of the rainbow. Then, there's a flash. You look down to see both of your allies completely exposed from head to toe.

Tits and ass--everything is out. It takes them a moment to notice. Together, they reach around and grab their naked bodies in a **** attempt to cover themselves up, though flushed red and disarmed, they've been made helpless targets for your opponent to strike.

Even Amara's choker is missing. She turns and looks up to you. "Kyle! This is... most embarrassing," she mumbles. The man is staring straight at her rear.

"This really sucks," Niki grumbles with teeth clenched hard.

"But that is ultimately my turn. It seems that was his attack," Meti explains. "Therefore, you may now draw, Kyle Warren."

Your next card is a harpy girl. Not all that useful right now, but at least it's another Creature Card to fall back on. Also she's cute. But if you play it, your opponent's creature is only going to get stronger.

The guy didn't even budge. I was afraid to active my vines unless it did nothing against that. But that might work out for the best. Nobody was destroyed, and I still have a little something to give me peace of mind. But what are the powers of my own units? I see something around Amara. Does she get power for being naked? That doesn't really sound on-brand. There must be something happening, and I need to figure it out. If I attack, he'll counterattack, and that'll be no good. He might take out one of my allies.

"Amara, we need to try something," you say. "I want you to use your most potent Major Heal on Niki."

"But I'm not hurt," Niki responds.

"I know. Just try it."

"This is rather embarrassing to do, but perhaps we will never see this man again," Amara whispers. She steps around to try hiding behind the body of Niki as she brings her hands together and reveals her slender figure. You watch as she places her palms against Niki's back, and she conjures up a spell while speaking the magic words, "Major Heal". She's already one spell in, and with another large cast without her choker, she starts to worry about an oncoming orgasm. She flushes red as the spell courses through her system and does nothing to Niki's uninjured body.

But when she does so, the power around her manifests with even more intensity.

"You all right?" Niki asks.

Amara holds a hand between her legs. "... Y-Yes, thank you."

"Of course this would be the power it gives you, Amara." You sigh.

"Wh-What do you mean? No, no. My power is no such thing!" she pleads.

Meti stares blankly and whispers beneath her breath. "In all my years of owning these cards, I never..."

"And for now, I end my turn," you say.

She draws and glances at her new and only card. "While you have been rather fortunate with your cards, I have been so as well, and it seems my luck has yet to dry out. I will immediately use my new Magic Card." It has the art of a hammer slamming a nail down into the back of a card.

That's exactly what happens. A giant hammer appears over the head of Niki and Amara, and a nail manifests above your face-down trap. It's banged down straight through. Of course, you assume it's all a magic illusion just like the rest, but it really does appear as if your own card has been stuck to the table.

"Let me guess. I can't use it now," you say.

"For three turns." She gestures the number with her fingers. "Not a perfect solution, but I have a feeling our duel will not last that much longer. Now then, I command you to attack, my perverted creature. Strike at the elf first."

Amara backs up. Thankfully she has a very stubborn girl to protect her.

"Just dodge!" you shout. "We can't lose anyone right now."

"Damn. Really? Fine." Niki rolls her eyes.

The man charges at them, but just as you instructed, they run around in circles frantically trying to cover up their naked bodies as they go. It's a little bit easier for Amara, but Niki's chest is rather large to contain. It's not exactly a simple experience for either of them. This continues for a moment before Meti seems to grow weary of the chase.

"Strike the deck instead," she says.

Quickly, he turns on his heel, and bolts at your deck. He slams both fists down against the barrier that suddenly appears, and it does devastating damage. Pieces shatter off like glass and it now looks to be in nearly as bad of shape as your opponent's.

You grind your teeth. "It's fine."

Now I get to draw again. Come on... I need more time. I might not be able to take another direct hit. Ah. What's this? It's some sort of spooky man in a black cloak and a skeletal face. A lich? He has a special effect. When he's played, and you have another Creature Card in your discard pile, you can summon it too? Though the creature only remains on the field for that turn, and it can't attack your opponent's deck. That's still pretty sick in a pinch like this. It also says he can do that once per turn.

"Are you going to do something up there?" Niki calls out. "We're getting kinda cold!"

"I play this silver dragon," you announce as you throw down your card. A glistening silver dragon stretches its wings as it materializes above a magic circle. I still have no way of dealing with that stupid guy. But, I do have a plan.

You look to your elf. "Amara, give Niki another huge heal."

"Please," she begs. "I can not take much more."

"Your power is growing every time. Do this for us. I'm relying on you."

She purses her lips and then she smiles. "I will." After a deep breath, she places her hands on Niki's band and unleashes another, "Major Heal!" This time, the light nearly blinds everybody sound. It's the most intense spell you've ever seen come from Amara. Her power really is growing. If Niki actually was injured, that could have probably reattached her limbs! Unfortunately it does nothing to her, but it does do everything you Amara herself. She nearly crumbles to the ground as she holds herself between the legs. Her tiny pink points are stiff as rocks. She desperately clings to her ally's back and pants heavily while the power around her reaches such intensity that it surpasses even the man's.

"That's it. I end my turn," you say.

"You better have a plan!" Niki shouts.

You pray silently that Meti won't draw something good again. She looks to her card, and thankfully doesn't play it instantly this time. Instead she looks over the board and speaks.

"Attack his deck," she simply says.

"Yes, my lady~!" Just like before, he sprints towards your pile of cards.

"Dragon, protect it!" you shout.

Your silver dragon soars down and intervenes. The man's blow collides with the side of its body, and it crumbles under his strength. The dragon vanishes into a plume of sparkles, saving your bacon, but reducing your army back down to two... for now.

You smirk and draw. A devil girl. Not useful right now, but I wonder how Yin is doing. Anyway, here we go. It's time to finish this.

"One more time, Amara, but it's not going to be a heal. Give Niki your best Bless."

She looks incredibly worried. Her eyes are at Niki's back, and her chest heaves up and down. "Y-Yes. I will."

Niki turns around and grabs her shoulders. The man can't help but look straight at her ass. "Look at me," she says. "You can do this!"

Amara nods and places her hands against the other girl's belly. "B... Bl... Bless!" she blurts out as an explosion of power bathes the room in a divine beacon of light. She lets out a humiliated moan as she experiences her own explosion. It drips down her legs, and she wraps her arms tightly around Niki's body through pure instinct. She continues to pant and sigh with sounds of pleasure, and then she throws herself up to plunge a tongue straight into Niki's mouth. The two of them share a passionate kiss before the elf backs away--face as red as a tomato.

On the other hand, Niki has ascended. Her eyes are glowing, the marks around her breasts are radiant--the exceptional Bless has increased all aspects of her body. She looks surprised by the kiss, and she blushes as well, but she shakes it off and turns to meet her foe with determination. She doesn't even care that she's naked anymore it seems.

"Now I play this!" You slam the lich down, and a horrifying visage emerges from the card. Then you retrieve your dragon and place it next to him, and a skeletal winged beast craws out with a chilling screech. "Niki. Team up with the dragon to strike this man down."

"Ohoho... Hell yeah!" Niki crawls her naked body excitedly up around the boney neck of the undead dragon. It lifts off despite its lack of flesh, and the two of them swoop straight down towards their pray. First, the dragon tears through his suit and knocks him onto his ass. Then, Niki leaps off its head and slams her feet into his stomach. She picks him up, tosses him up into the air, and delivers the most brutal uppercut you've ever witnessed. His jaw shatters, and his limp body flies off the table, collides with the wall, and bursts into magic sparks.

Amara slides down to her knees beside the lich's feet. She's tapped out, but the next attack might be enough to finish things.

"Go, lich. Attack the deck," you command.

He creeps forward and raises up his hands. Dark purple lighting crackles out from his skeletal fingertips, and it bathes the barrier of her neck with horrible power. The rest of it chips away, and and after a blinding explosion of light, you look back to see every creature gone. The cards are back to normal.

Game over.

Amara and Niki gasp as they regain consciousness. The man does as well.

"Waah!" The man throws himself up from the seat and nearly stumbles over the edge of the table. "N-No amount of hotties is worth this much trouble. I'm out of here. You guys are nuts!" And with that, he sprints towards the door, turns the lock, swings it open, and bolts far away.

The room is silent, and the door slowly creaks shut.

"Yes." Meti breaks the silence. "You were victorious. This game is far from predictable. Anything may happen. That being said, you made strategic decisions, and I vastly underestimated the power of your party members. Good game, Kyle Warren."

You slide your cards over. "Then I get the boots then."

"That you do." She stands up, picks the pair of boots up from the table, and walks them over to you. She holds them out atop her palms and bows her head. "I thank you for providing me with both entertainment and a challenge. Take with you this magic item, the Winged Boots of Herbes. When you leap, you will find yourself covering far more distance both vertically and horizontally, and they do well to absorb shock as well. That being said, you are not immune to injury from falling by wearing the boots alone. If you tap them together while in the air, their second effect will activate. You will fall as slowly as a feather, though this magic's power is finite. Do it for too long and the effect will end. Do you understand?"

You get up and accept your gift. "I think I do. Thank you. I honestly expected this to end with someone's soul being stolen, like trapped in a card, or... I don't know. Usually people try to kill us."

"You are correct to be cautious."

After kicking off your own boots and stowing them into your pack, you slip on your new footwear. They're immediately more comfortable, as if they've formed to fit around your feet perfectly. These kicks are made of the finest leather, and the while the tiny wings on the sides may look weird if you were back on Earth, it actually looks pretty cool given the setting. With a magic ring and blade, and of course a blue tunic, you feel even more like an adventurer in shoes like these. You give them a tap on the floorboards and nod.

"They're perfect," you say. "And that passed time for us too. I saw we grab something to eat from a tavern around town and then head to our little meeting. What do you say, party?"

Niki crosses her arms. "Where's our magic item, huh? We were the ones fighting."

"I would rather not do that again," Amara whispers.

"Sorry. That's the only thing we were promised," you reply. "Maybe you can challenge her to a game next time."
