#Titaniklad the Ash Dragon

[reversemoon255]

The last cards I order finally arrived, so I thought I'd take a moment to share my completed Yu-Gi-Oh! deck. This is my

Theseus Toolbox V11

Named as such because this deck is seventeen years old. It's my old Utopia ZeXal Weapon deck I built back in high school, and I've just slowly replaced cards, chunks, and engines over the years until we've gotten to this point here. The Ship of Theseus and all that.

The previous version of the deck (V10.1.2) ran 3 Rescue Rabbit, 3 Magicalibra, and 2 Aqua Madoor, which were mainstays of the deck for a long time, but I finally dropped them, and since I dropped all the cards that required dupes, it allowed me to make a deck where every Monster is single-copy, which is something I've wanted to do for a while. It's probably my favorite version of the deck I've had for a few years. And to list off what's in it, we have:

(Main Deck) 1X Albaz the Ashen 1X Bystial Magnamhut 1X Carnot the Eternal Machine 1X Centur-Ion Atrii 1X Centur-Ion Gargoyle II 1X Centur-Ion Primera 1X Centur-Ion Trudea 1X Dark Hole Dragon 1X Diabellstar the Black Witch 1X Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous 1X Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous 1X Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous 1X Guiding Quem, the Virtuous 1X Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted 1X The Iris Swordsoul 1X Dogmatika Maximus 1X Dream Absorber 1X Summoner Monk 3X Dark Hole 1X Harpie's Feather Duster 3X Nadir Servant 1X Sinful Spoils Deception 1X That's 10! 1X Azamina Ofeiletis 1X Called by the Grave 1X Double or Nothing! 3X Emblema Oath 3X Spell Card "Monster Reborn" 1X WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils 1X Stand Up Centur-Ion! 1X You're Finished 1X Centur-Ion True Awakening

The Isolated Land and the Abyss

Our story plays out on a continent called the "Isolated Land" where cultures and species have clashed "since time immemorial" over power and resources. Throughout the Isolated Land's history, "Holes" have spontaneously and unpredictably appeared as gateways to an unknown realm called "the Abyss". The Holes have been known to produce powerful objects and obscure technology, but they have also occasionally swallowed up individuals and even entire regions.

Inhabitants of the Isolated Land: the Beastmen, Springans, and Dogmatika

Scattered across the Isolated Land are three beastmen tribes of Beast, Beast-Warrior, and Winged Beast species, locked in a long cycle of fighting with one another over territory. Having each been banished from their respective tribes, Shuraig, Rugal, and Ferrijit (along with her younger sister, Kitt) band together and create a group of wandering exiles, which subsequently grows in strength and numbers.

Traveling across the Great Golgonda Desert, the group happens upon the Land of Iron and Steel — a region controlled by the Argyro System, the artificial intelligence of a Therion spaceship. It is stated that upon its crash landing, the damaged ship siphoned power from nearby magma and developed a "fiery personality". Here the exiled beastmen befriend the Springans, a group of small soot sprites who inhabit brightly-colored humanoid machines and scour the desert for Holes in search of treasure. They are led by their captain, Sargas, who wears a peculiar necklace "to relieve shoulder tension" (per reference art).

Far away in the northern region of the continent, the Dogmatika Nation is a deeply religious civilization that lives by the 666 Holy Verses.

The citizens follow their infallible leader, Maximus, who uses the Dogmatika Nexus to bestow a brand called the "Stigmata" upon his most trusted followers — the Dogmatika Saints. A total of 665 Saints have served Maximus, the most recent of whom are Fleurdelis and her disciple, Ecclesia. Outside groups are considered heretics and enemies of the Dogmatika, to be vanquished by Ashiyan's forces.

Clash Against the Dogmatika, Formation of the Tri-Brigade, and the Appearance of the Mysterious Boy

Upon learning of the beastmen tribes falling under Dogmatika attack, the exiles decide to go to their rescue. Kitt remains with the Springans while the rest of the group sets off in hopes of unifying the beastmen tribes against the Dogmatika.

The tribes initially reject the exiles' calls for unity, and Shuraig is forced to lead his group into battle against the Dogmatika. Using weapons from the Land of Iron and Steel, the exiles are able to repel the Dogmatika forces and save the tribes. The beastmen tribes finally join forces under Shuraig's leadership, officially forming the Tri-Brigade (a reference to their three different monster Types, as well as a portmanteau of "tribe brigade").

Seeking to rescue their captured members, the Tri-Brigade takes the fight to the Dogmatika Nation and another battle ensues. The strongest of each army, Shuraig and Fleurdelis take each other on.

Amidst the fighting, a Hole suddenly opens in the sky and a raging dragon — Titaniklad the Ash Dragon — emerges from it. Fleudelis slays Titaniklad with a bolt of lightning, but rather than dying, its body transforms into that of an ashen boy adorned in peculiar white orbs. Ecclesia is sent to kill the boy, however upon seeing that he is lost and confused, she disobeys the order and decides to help the boy instead.

Recognizing that the boy is not of the Dogmatika, the Tri-Brigade arrives and offers their help. Ashiyan and his Dogmatika forces also converge on the scene, at which point Ecclesia attempts to prevent another battle from breaking out.

Ashiyan lashes out at Ecclesia and conjures a Hole that causes her to clutch at her Stigmata, apparently in great pain. The boy reacts by transforming into another dragon — Brigrand the Glory Dragon — and repels Ashiyan while protecting the unconscious Ecclesia. The Tri-Brigade also jumps into action, using the opportunity to extradite both her and the boy from the Dogmatika Nation.

The Great Golgonda Desert and Mount Swordsoul

The Tri-Brigade returns to their base, where they help Ecclesia and the boy recover from their injuries. However, the two cannot stay with the Tri-Brigade for long due to the beastmen's ongoing conflict with the Dogmatika. Shuraig advises them to travel across the Great Golgonda Desert and find the Springans. He also gives them his pet, a mechanical bird named Mercourier, as a guide.

Traveling through the desert, Ecclesia gives the boy the name "Albaz".

Ecclesia the Exiled — "A pure white heart to be filled with many memories. With thoughts of coming days in mind, the girl gifts a name to the boy."

Albaz the Shrouded — "Does his name refer to a past, buried in darkness, or to a bright future?"

As Ecclesia and Albaz approach a Springan hideout, they are mistaken for potential enemies and captured. Fortunately, Kitt recognizes Mercourier and vouches for them, at which point they are welcomed by the Springans.

They join Kitt and the Springans as they seek out the Holes that open throughout the desert, hunting for the treasures and technology that emerge from them. They celebrate with the Springans after finding a cache of gems and jewels, while Ecclesia obtains the large skull of a dragon or serpent.

Meanwhile, Fleudelis hears of Ecclesia's exile and has a foreboding premonition of Maximus and the Dogmatika. Suspecting that Maximus may have ulterior motives, she defects along with Adin and Theo. The three leave the Dogmatika Nation and head toward a distant place where they can have their Stigmata sealed.

Concealed within a dense mist at the peak of Mount Swordsoul, the Enion Cradle is a living reservoir of magical water from which the Icejade receive their life force. The Enion Cradle manifests itself in the form of the first Icejade, Kosmochlor, who in turn creates the other Icejade. As they expend their life force, the Icejade's bodies are slowly overtaken by a black color. Upon depleting their energy, the Icejade's spirits return to the Enion Cradle while their bodies shatter into a crystalline material.

The Swordsoul are warriors "with the bodies of mythical beasts" who reside on the mountain and guard the Enion Cradle. They wield swords provided by the Icejade — forged from the Icejade's shattered bodies and imbued with the "heart and soul" of the Swordsoul.

Fleurdelis, Adin, and Theo arrive at Mount Swordsoul and encounter Chixiao, Mo Ye, and Taia. They are brought to the Enion Cradle and have their Stigmata sealed by the Icejade.

Back at the Dogmatika Nation, Maximus bestows a Stigmata upon a girl with red hair — the 666th Saint.

The Day of Gospel

The day has arrived and Maximus declares, "The time of the Gospel's fulfillment has come." He performs a forbidden ritual, and the Dogmatika citizens' Stigmata are revealed to have been closed brands that awaken all throughout the Dogmatika Nation. A giant Hole tears open the sky above the city and an immense dark energy flows forth from the Abyss, causing the citizens to be corrupted by their brands and transform into Despians.

Maximus becomes Dramaturge, Ashiyan becomes Ad Libitum, and the White Knight — seen in Fleurdelis's previous armor — becomes Quaeritis.

The Nexus itself is transformed into the Despian Proskenion, and the Dogmatika capitol crumbles as the massive Theater of the Branded emerges from the ground to stand upon its ruins.

An early fan theory suggested that Fleurdelis might still be wearing her armor when it begins to corrupt. The Valuable Book EX2 does not say this, but rather says that she left after "sensing the secret intentions of Maximus". Future retrains of Fleurdelis also imply (but do not confirm) that the White Knight of Dogmatika is not Fleurdelis.

The front line between the Tri-Brigade and Dogmatika forces erupts into chaos, as the latter become Despians and fight with increased power and frenzy.

Another figure emerges from the Hole and watches the carnage from afar with amusement. It is Aluber, a masked boy with red hair and pale skin who seems to relish the events unfolding. Adorned with red orbs identical to Albaz's white orbs, Aluber demonstrates that he, too, has the ability to transform into dragons. He becomes Masquerade the Blazing Dragon and flies off to seek Albaz with motives unknown.

Aluber the Dogmatic — "A thing separated from the abyss. It mocked the light and deceived the darkness."

Back in the Great Golgonda Desert, the Holes' energies are amplified by Maximus's ritual. A colossal serpent, that has fed upon the desert's Holes for years, is corrupted by their dark energy and goes on a rampage.

Albaz's white orbs also react and are revealed to be brands, causing him to transform into a dragon covered in intense flames, Albion the Branded Dragon. He is immediately overcome with rage and goes on a rampage against the serpent. Kitt attempts to intervene in her mech suit, Bearbrumm, but is unsuccessful.

Suddenly, the serpent is struck down by a single bolt of the very same lightning that had previously felled Titaniklad. Ecclesia and the Springans look to see Fleurdelis, Adin, and Theo — each with their Stigmata sealed and wielding the power of the Swordsoul.

Ecclesia soothes Albion and helps him to shed his rage. Hearing her speak the name she gave him, Albaz is able to quell his flames. Rather than revert back to his human form, he instead takes an ashen appearance as Albion the Shrouded Dragon.

Attack on Mount Swordsoul

Fleurdelis explains the situation to the group, detailing Maximus's actions and informing Ecclesia that her Stigmata is actually a Despian brand. Fleurdelis, Adin, and Theo then resolve to return to the Dogmatika Nation and confront Maximus.

Ecclesia and Albion depart from the group to go to the Icejade and have their Stigmata sealed before they become corrupted. As they part ways, Kitt gifts Ecclesia a powerful hammer made from the skull she had obtained earlier, now inhabited by the rocket soot sprite, Springans Rockey.

They arrive at the Swordsoul Sacred Summit and are brought before Chengying and Chunjun, who judge them to be virtuous and allow them access to the Enion Cradle.

The Icejade welcome Ecclesia and Albion as valuable allies, as Tremora has been observing all of the story's events from afar (seen on her card art). She is able to temporarily seal their Stigmata.

Ashiyan (now Ad Libitum) secretly emerges from a Hole and offers Longyuan a deal. Longyuan has harbored hidden ambitions for power, which he had concealed from Chunjun by placing the darker half of his soul into the sword he gave to Mo Ye.

The Despians appear in full force and launch an attack on Mount Swordsoul. Amidst the fighting, Longyuan appears at the Enion Cradle holding both his and Mo Ye's swords. He combines the two blades — containing the two halves of his soul — and takes his true form, Qixing Longyuan. Chengying engages Longyuan in order to protect the Enion Cradle. With her energy dwindling, Kosmochlor creates Kingfisher to help repel Longyuan.

As if drawn to the chaos, Aluber makes a dramatic entrance in front of Albion and Ecclesia. He uses Holes to steal Albion's power for himself, causing Albion to revert back to Albaz as he loses his ability to transform. With his new power, Aluber transforms into Lubellion the Searing Dragon and overwhelms Chengying, Kosmochlor, and Kingfisher.

In desperation, the three give the last of their Swordsoul and Icejade energies to Albion, allowing him to transform once more and become Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon who single-handedly defeats Longyuan. Completely depleted, Kosmochlor shatters and Aegirine becomes her successor.

As Lubellion and Mirrorjade lock into a swirling clash of fire and ice, they begin to merge with one another. A blinding light rises up from within the Enion Cradle, and from this light a single dragon emerges — Alba-Lenatus the Abyss Dragon. Featured prominently at its center is one of Aluber's red brands, overlaid with four circles like those seen around Albaz on Branded in White.

Albaz is quickly ejected from Alba-Lenatus and falls to the ground in his human form. Things are looking grim at this point. Not only does Albaz lack his white brands (and no longer has any Fusion Summoning effect), but we also see Ecclesia's hammer abandoned behind him and Springans Rockey crouched on his shoulder. Albaz has at least managed to retain a small blade left over from Mirrorjade.

Fleurdelis Returns to the Dogmatika Capitol

While Ecclesia and Albaz struggle against Aluber and the Despian attack on the Enion Cradle, Fleudelis arrives at the Dogmatika capitol with Adin and Theo. The three are shocked and horrified by the Despian transformations of the capital's citizens, as Dramaturge gleefully descends upon them.

Fleurdelis appears to land a full-powered strike on Dramaturge. However, it turns out to be an illusion created by Quem, the first Saint of Dogmatika whose soul was contained within the Dogmatika Nexus and who is seen as an idol at its center.

Quem then transforms Quaeritis into a golden dragon with stained glass wings (described on reference art but only barely seen at this point). Fleurdelis is captured and Dramaturge seals her soul within the Despian Proskenion along with the souls of the 663 previous Saints.

Following Ad Libitum through a Hole, Ecclesia is transported to the Dogmatika capitol and arrives just as Fleurdelis's soul is sealed. Overcome with grief for her mentor, she loses the protection of the Icejade and her brand awakens. We see Quaeritis's dark appendages surrounding her ominously.

We also learn that Quem, the first Saint of Dogmatika, has received the body of the 666th Saint (the girl on Dogmatika Genesis) as a physical vessel, and possesses the brands of all 663 previous Saints whose souls reside within the Despian Proskenion.

The Springans and the Argyro System

Having watched Ecclesia and Albaz fly off to Mount Swordsoul, Kitt and the Springans decide they can't just sit on the sidelines while their new friends take on the Despians. Kitt dismantles Bearbrumm to make a Springan mech suit, and then the group returns to the Land of Iron and Steel seeking weapons like those the Tri-Brigade had used against the Dogmatika and Despians.

Upon arriving at the Therion spaceship, they brace themselves for the Argyro System's stubbornness. Sure enough, it refuses to help the Springans unless they can prove themselves by defeating the Therions, mechanical warriors created by the Argyro System and built from the parts and weapons of previous enemies they have defeated.

Aboard the Therion Discolosseum, Captain Sargas steps forward and takes on the Therions one by one. We learn here that Sargas is a former Therion himself, hence his Level and card name similar to those of the other Therions. Sargas is almost defeated by "King" Regulus, but is cheered on by his comrades and ultimately emerges victorious.

The Argyro System is angered by this and releases the Sprights, electrical sprites with a resemblance to the soot sprite Springans themselves. The Sprights' energy overloads Regulus, causing him to go berserk as Therion Irregular.

The Springans join the fray and an all-out clash ensues. We see Sprights Blue and Red captured within Sprind, a device built by Kitt using parts from the dismantled Sprind the Irondash Dragon. For reasons not explained, Regulus changes sides and joins the Springans, as we see him and Sargas landing dual blows against Gigantic Spright.

Cartesia and the Bystial Dragons

The doors of the Despian Proskenion open and a girl emerges bearing the appearance of Ecclesia, however she is now the body of Cartesia — an amalgamation of all the souls that were in the Proskenion (except the first soul, Quem, who still inhabits the body of the 666th saint). She commands Quaeritis's dragon form, Granguignol the Dusk Dragon.

Continuing to grow stronger, Dramaturge opens even more Holes in the sky, and through them arrive the four Bystial dragons (a portmanteau of "abyss" and "bestial"). Although they each bear chains, these mighty dragons were once considered kings of the Abyss. Just as Ecclesia had a fondness for Albaz's dragon forms, so does Cartesia look endearingly upon the Bystial dragons.

Having taken Albaz's brands, Aluber is now more powerful than ever as The Bystial Lubellion. He uses his new power to evolve the Despian Proskenion yet again, creating Alba Los.

Last Stand in the Great Golgonda Desert

In the interim, Albaz has regrouped with the Tri-Brigade in the Great Golgonda Desert. Kitt and the Springans have also returned from their battle with the Therions and Sprights at the Land of Iron and Steel. But have they returned empty handed?

Countless Holes tear open across the sky, turning the desert a crimson red, and from the largest Hole emerges the entire Theater of the Despia. Above it hovers the fearsome Alba Los and the menacing Aluber himself, flaunting his power before the Isolated Land's last line of defense.

Our protagonists do not back away. Sargas steps forward with the combined power of the Springans, Therions, and Sprights as Gigantic “Champion” Sargas, while Shuraig readies his newest weapon from the Argyro System, the Tri-Brigade Arms Bucephalus II.

The two sides explode into action as Sargas and the Springans launch an all-out barrage of missiles and cannonfire. The Despians counterattack as Aluber becomes The Bystial Lubellion, and the desert erupts into a chaotic battlefield of explosions, cannons, dragons, and Holes.

Aluber augments his forces by resurrecting Qixing Longyuan and fusing him with the body of the felled serpent of Golgonda to create the The Abyss Dragon Swordsoul. This combination of two great powers threatens to turn the tide, when Aegirine appears as the new empress of the Enion Cradle. With her is none other than Mo Ye — presumed to have been killed by Longyuan — atop the massive Icejade Creation Aegirocassis. Commanding the full power of the Icejade, Mo Ye defeats Longyuan.

With Aluber's monstrosity neutralized, Shuraig and Sargas seize their opportunity and land a devastating two-pronged attack on Alba Los, destroying both of its heads and sending it crashing to the ground.

Albaz and Kitt approach at high speed on Kitt's newest creation, Rindbrumm the Striking Dragon, and fire dual blasts at Lubellion, but Cartesia suddenly appears (atop Granguignol) and takes the full brunt of the attack. Recognizing her as Ecclesia's body, Albaz leaps after her as she falls from the sky.

As Albaz reaches the falling Cartesia and grabs her hand, a bright light appears between them. Cartesia is separated from Eccelsia's body, while Albion undergoes a new transformation — taking the form of Albion once more as Albion the Sanctifire Dragon. (Likely the counterpart to Lubellion since they have mirrored ATK/DEF and their Japanese kanji share homophones.)

Albion fills the entire battlefield with a golden flame, curing the countless Despians of their corrupted brands and reverting them back to their human forms.

Meanwhile on the ground, something is stirring within the destroyed Alba Los. From its cracked walls emerges Dramaturge, now in the hideous form of Alba Zoa.

Seeing the undoing of his Despian children, Alba Zoa goes into a rage and consumes the four Bystial dragons, becoming the Bystial Dis Pater. (Latin for "rich/divine father", a reference to Maximus as "the agent of God" according to the 666 Holy Verses.)

Dis Pater turns his wrath toward Albion, who is still curing the Despians of their corruption.

Suddenly, red lightning crackles where Cartesia had fallen. Separated from Ecclesia, her form is unstable and crumbling away. However, through sheer drive and will power, one of the 665 souls manages to rise up and take control, surging with a single purpose to protect Ecclesia — the soul of Fleurdelis.

With an eruption of flames, she takes the form of Despian Luluwalilith and lands her signature lightning strike on Dis Pater. He furiously retaliates, however the tables have finally been turned. Luluwalilith hits him with thousands of lightning bolts and then Shuraig lands a fatal piercing blow.

As Dis Pater lies in defeat, his crumbling body is incinerated by Albion's flame and scattered to the winds.

Epilogue

Consistent with the Argyro System's history of assimilating the parts and weapons of its vanquished enemies, Spright Sprind has taken the fallen Lubellion's armor for itself. As the others fly off in the distance, we see that Springans Captain Sargas has gifted the Argyro System with his necklace.

Ecclesia has been restored to her former self and prepares to fly off with Albaz. Reference art shows Kitt explaining to them what happened at the battle's climax, indicating that neither remembers anything after Ecclesia was freed and Albaz became Albion. As they wave to Ferrijit, we see that Kitt and Shuraig — as well as other Springans and members of the Tri-Brigade — are also present to see them off.

Unfortunately, this will be a journey without Fleurdelis, whose soul held only temporary control over Cartesia's dissipating form.

Aegirine returns to the Enion Cradle and seals off the Swordsoul Sacred Summit, resolute to never allow it to be invaded again. Seen in the background is the sealed form of a dragon, likely The Abyss Dragon Swordsoul.

If you thought that Aluber was killed, then think again. Etude of the Branded shows Ashiyan (as Ad Libitum) pledging loyalty to Aluber after Maximus's death. Far from enraged, Aluber is simply amused with this story's plot twists.

But what is meant by "étude"? Aluber has not only survived, but also retains possession of the red crystal that he obtained from stealing Albaz's brands. He may one day return from the Abyss, perhaps stronger than ever.

Finally, we see that Quem remains in this world along with Quaeritis. Her alignment remains uncertain but she has appears to have become a guide — a role fitting of her Latin namesake, "Quem quaeritis?"

Nightmell the Dark Bonder

Level 4 WIND Psychic Effect Monster (1500 ATK, 1500 DEF)

You can Tribute 1 monster; Special Summon from your Deck, 1 monster with the same original Type, Attribute, Level, and ATK/DEF as the Tributed monster, but with a different original name. If you Tributed a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, you can Special Summon a monster from your Extra Deck instead that meets those same criteria. You can only use this effect of "Nightmell the Dark Bonder" once per turn.

-

This monster can summon many things that have levels, even from the extra. 

First of all, tributing itself can get Risebell the Star Psycher, who has a once per turn quick effect to target a monster and permanently increase it’s level by 1.

I was more focused on trying to summon weird stuff from the extra, and finding a match was rarer than I thought... unless you were a level 8 dark dragon.

8 Dark Dragon 2500/2000: Supreme King Dragon Odd-Eyes, Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing, Albion the Branded Dragon, Titaniklad the Ash Dragon, Albion the Shrouded Dragon

8 Dark Dragon 2800/2000: Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Starving Venemy Lethal Dose Dragon, Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom

8 Dark Dragon 3000/2000: Red Dragon Archfiend, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend, Performapal Odd-Eyes Metal Claw, Brave-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Darkest Diabolos, Lord of the Lair

8 Dark Dragon 3000/2500: Odd-Eyes Phantasma Dragon, Chaos Emperor the Dragon of Armageddon, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, Hundred Eyes Dragon, Chaos Ruler the Chaotic Magical Dragon, Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon, Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, Borreload Furious Dragon

Those aren’t the only options, but they are most of the useful ones. here are some others:

Use Instant Fusion to summon Thousand-Eyes Restrict or Millennium-Eyes Restrict, then tribute it to summon the other one free of Instant Fusion's restrictions.

In a Malefic deck, Malefic Paradox Dragon can be tributed to summon Beelzeus of the Diabolic Dragons.

In a Red-Eyes deck, Archfiend Black Skull Dragon can be tributed to summon Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss.

That’s it. There are other things, but in those cases it would be easily just summoning the monster you want rather than summoning something else and going through Nightmell. There is also probably some interesting stuff to be summoned from the main deck, but I didn’t check for that.

[bradsmindbrain]

Ok, so in this world there’s these things called Holes, which are known to swallow things up, sometimes entire nations, but sometimes these Holes spit things out.

Which leads us to the nation of Dogmatika, a very thinly veiled Catholic Church stand-in.

Through the use of an artifact called the Nexus, their leader, Maximus is able to give people special brands, called Stigmatas, which grant people incredibly powerful abilities. They follow 666 commandments created by Maximus, and await for the induction of their 666th Saint for their Day of Gospel.

This generation has given them Saints 664 and 665, Fleurdelis the Knighted and Ecclesia the Virtuous.

(Fleur is a woman btw)

Other cast members here include Theo the Iron Punch, Adin the Enlightened, and Ashiyan, who’s basically the head of the nation’s police.

Now, as the name suggests, they are incredibly zealous in their beliefs, many of their commandments forbid walking in front of Maximus, looking at Maximus, touching Maximus, pointing at Maximus, refusing a blessing from Maximus, speak Maximus’s name, or turn their backs on his teachings. It also has extremely harsh punishments for heretics.

Initially, it seems like a normal day for Fleur and Ecclesia, who are basically sisters, and have known each other for about 10 years since Ecclesia was chosen as Fleur’s squire.

Things get out of hand when a Hole opens above the nation, and something comes barreling out of it.

They go to confront it, and encounter Titaniklad the Ash Dragon, which had absorbed some of the Nexus’s power.

With a single blow, Fleurdelis sends Titaniklad crashing down to the ground below, where Ecclesia rushes to finish it off.

But when she gets there, Titaniklad is nowhere to be seen, and in its place is a boy around her age…

I’m Begging Y’all to Ask me About the Abyss Lore, you Don’t Even Need to Know Anything About Yu-Gi-Oh! For it
