In an instant, a fierce gale rose across the Duel Arena, and a green vortex of storm winds frantically gathered before Jack. A low dragon's roar echoed through the air, as if all the wind elements between heaven and earth had submitted at this moment.
"Roar—!!!"
Accompanied by an earthshaking bellow, a massive dragon silhouette burst out of the storm! Its entire body was emerald green, its scales gleaming like jade. When its wings spread, they blotted out the sky, every membrane flowing with storm patterns. Exploder Dragonwing spiraled upward, the air around it warping from its presence and forming countless tiny wind blades.
Exploder Dragonwing, ATK 2400
And at the very instant it fully appeared, the phantom of the "Evil Dragon" used as a Tribute emerged. The black dragon soul let out a hiss before Exploder Dragonwing opened its jaws and forcefully devoured it whole! The Evil Dragon's power turned into a dark green stream of energy that coiled around Exploder Dragonwing's claws and wing bones, causing its aura to surge once more!
"Exploder Dragonwing's Monster Effect!"
Fake Jack burst into laughter.
"When Exploder Dragonwing is successfully Tribute Summoned by releasing a Dragon-Type Monster, this card gains ATK equal to half the original ATK of the released Monster!
Strong Wind Absorption!"
Exploder Dragonwing, ATK 2400 → ATK 3400
"I see. Since the released Monster's ATK is checked after it is Sent to Graveyard, the Evil Dragon's ATK in the Graveyard reverted to 2000.
So Exploder Dragonwing could absorb half of the Evil Dragon's ATK—1000 points of power."
Kira nodded slightly.
"You're looking a little more like a king now."
"Not 'like' one—I am the absolute King!" Fake Jack shouted. "I'm not comparable to some counterfeit who has already lost his honor!"
Speak of the devil.
