OK, I know I'm going to sound like Paradox here, but what the heck was that about!
That was a perfect chance to add some plot tilting drama, but No... every hero is too good to even take a second glance at something like the Orichalcos.
God forbid, he actually wins, and adds some interesting character journey into this.
It might not have been so bad without the voice in his head. It may have been an attempt at drama that just made the character look like completely devine,incorruptable Avatar-like characters. Heck, even the Duel in this one was sub-par!
OK, Level monsters, nice choice, and I did like the change from a tie. There's only one level monster whose attack could be mistaken for a Red-Eyes, so that piece of the puzzle is solved.
But I'm sorry, this was the lowest point in the story so far. It seemed like an awesome chance wasted.
(please let me keep reading)
I judge each chapter one at a time, so I'll keep reading. You've done some great stuff with the story so far, and I doubt that this will be an ongoing trend, but I'm still ranking this along the same lines as "Flatline" and "Final Judgement."
I'm sorry if I'm too harsh, but I cannot express my dissapointment.
