Chapter 210
"My turn!"
[Kagurazaka hand cards: 0→1]
Seeing his hand, Kagurazaka clicked his tongue inwardly; it seemed this draw wasn't very satisfactory.
So he launched an attack immediately, "Go, Rock Lizard, attack the Nova Lord!"
Under his command, the Rock Lizard lowered its head and charged towards the other side again.
Upon seeing this, Judai quickly pressed the button to face down the card and shouted, "Don't even think about succeeding! Activate the Trap Card, [The formidable enemy blocking the way]!"
"Through this card's effect, you can change your monster's attack target to [Support Dog]!"
"What?!"
The next moment, the Rock Lizard veered slightly in its direction and crashed into the mechanical dog.
Bang--!!
The Support Dog was instantly smashed to pieces by the Phantom Horn on the Rock Lizard's head.
Judai then added, "At this moment, the [Support Dog]'s special effect activates!"
"When a [Support Dog] is destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can add one [Elemental HERO] and one [Polymerization] from your Graveyard to your hand."
"The monster I chose is [Elemental HERO Avian]."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1→3]
Seeing that Judai had retrieved two more cards from his hand, Kagurazaka calmly said, "A mere trick. The special effect of the Rock Lizard is activated."
"This monster destroys one monster in each battle, dealing 500 points of damage to the opponent."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Rock Lizard turned around and punched Judai.
"Mmm..."
[Yusei Fudo: LP2500→2000]
"You're really capable, Kagurazaka."
Kagurazaka sneered, "You think that's all?"
"Um?"
The next second, he pointed to the Trap Card beside him and said, "It's not over yet, [Phantom Horn]'s effect activates!"
"When the equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, I draw another card from my Deck."
"Degeneration!!"
[Kagurazaka hand cards: 1→2]
Upon seeing the card he had drawn, Kagurazaka's eyes widened slightly, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, "Here it comes. This turn you will witness the true power of this deck."
He then showed the card he was holding in his hand.
"I activate the monster effect of [Corn Snake God] from my hand!"
You can activate this effect by discarding this card from your hand. Add 1 monster with the [Chimera Fusion] attribute other than [Corn Snake God] from your Deck to your hand.
"I've chosen to add the [Mirror Sword Knight] Fantasy Beast Monster, which has [Chimera Fusion] listed in my deck, to my hand."
Misawa lowered his arms, his expression grave, and said, "Finally, the most unique existence in the [Phantom Beast] deck has appeared— the Fantasy Beast."
Asuka: "Legend has it that the Fantasy Beast is an extremely rare race discovered by the King of Games Yugi Muto during a random encounter with his cards. There's only one deck like this in the entire world."
Even Judai had no recollection of these cards.
Because in the physical card game environment, the Fantasy Beast was the last race to be released, much later than the Cyberse, and there are only a few cards of this race now, with [Corn Snake God] and [Mirror Sword Knight] being two of them.
Its general effect is: 'If this card battles a monster, those two monsters cannot be destroyed by battle.'
Of course, Judai wasn't very aware of this.
Chapter Thirty-Four: One Card Unfolds
After Kagurazaka retrieved the card and placed it on his Duel Disk without hesitation, he declared, "I haven't used my Normal Summon this turn, so I Summon [Mirror Sword Knight] from my hand in Attack Position."
Buzz--!. ]4÷$⌒∏2>☆$∨3☆￥cedar [(√/turn∪`Group:!
A flash of golden light appeared on his field, and a crimson ghost armor was projected. A flame burned inside its helmet, and the mirror on its chest bore the symbol of the Eye of Ughert. At the same time, a sword floated on its left side.
[Mirror Sword Knight: Attack Power 1900]
[Kagurazaka hand cards: 2 → 1]
Upon seeing the monster opposite him, Judai's eyes lit up. "Wow! So this is a Fantasy Beast monster? This is truly the first time I've ever seen this legendary race. This is really exciting!"
Kagurazaka smiled confidently, "Hmph, will you still be able to laugh later?"
At that moment, he waved his arm and shouted, "[Mirror Sword Knight]'s special ability activated!"
During your or your opponent's turn, you can Tribute this card to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 monster with the [Chimera Fusion] attribute other than [Mirror Sword Knight] from your Deck.
The Mirror Sword Knight vanished from the field.
"Appear, [Great Winged Baphomet]!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared on the field, and Baphomet, a creature with a pair of large wings, was summoned.
[Great Winged Baphomet: Attack Power 1400]
"At this very moment, [Great Winged Baphomet's ] special ability is activated!"
This effect can be activated only if this card is Normal or Special Summoned. You may add up to 1 Level 4 Beast monster and 1 [Chimera Fusion] from your Deck to your hand.
"I've added [King of Phantom Claws Gazelle] and [Chimera Fusion] from my deck to my hand."
"And activate the Quick-Play Spell [Chimera Fusion], using this card's effect to send materials containing Beast or Fiend-type to the Graveyard for Polymerization."
"I will Polymerization [King of Phantom Claws Gazelle] from my hand with [Great Winged Baphomet] from the field."
Beside Baphomet, an even more majestic unicorn appeared, and the two Polymerization into one energy, radiating golden light.
"Show yourself, [Chimera King]!"
As the light faded, an evolved two-headed chimera appeared.
[Chimera King: Attack Power 2100 → 2700]
Immediately afterward, Kagurazaka clenched his fist and shouted, "[Chimera King]'s special effect activated!"
This effect can only be activated if this card Fusion Summon. During the End Phase of this turn, send 1 random card from your opponent's hand to the Graveyard.
Judai frowned. "The effect of destroying hand cards...?"
That wasn't all. Kagurazaka continued, "At the same time, if [King of Phantom Claws Gazelle] is sent to the Graveyard as Polymerization Material, its monster effect activates, adding one Fantasy Beast from the Deck to your hand."
"I've decided to add [Bewitching Magician] from my deck to my hand."
[Kagurazaka hand cards: 1→2]
After retrieving the card into his hand, he continued, "[Great Winged Baphomet], which was also sent to the Graveyard as Polymerization Material, activates its effect as well, Special Summoning one Fantasy Beast monster from my Graveyard."
"Rise, [Mirror Sword Knight]!"
A golden light flashed, and the Mirror Sword Knight reappeared on the field.
[Mirror Sword Knight: Defense 300]
Kagurazaka: "It's not over yet! Another effect of [Chimera Fusion] in the graveyard has activated!"
If this card is in your Graveyard during your Main Phase, or if you control or have [Chimera the Mythical Beast] in your Graveyard, you can activate 1 of the following:
● Add this card to your hand.
●By banishing this card, Special Summon 1 [Gazer the Mythical Beast] and 1 [Baphomet] from your Deck or Graveyard.
"Because while [Chimera King] is on the field or in the graveyard, the card name is treated as [Chimera the Mythical Beast]."
"Therefore, I can add [Chimera Fusion] from the graveyard to my hand and activate its effect again."
"Polymerization the [Chimera the Mythical Beast] on the field with the [Bewitching Magician Fantasy Beast in your hand."
The next second, a magician dressed in a golden robe appeared and Polymerization with the chimera beside him into a vortex, releasing a dazzling light.
"Born, the strongest mythical beast, [Fantasy Beast Chimera]!"
As the light faded, a two-headed chimera, combining the characteristics of both the [Mirror Sword Knight] and the [Corn Snake God], finally made its appearance.
[Fantasy Beast Chimera: Attack Power 3100]
[Kagurazaka hand cards: 2 → 1]
"[Fantasy Beast Chimera], like [Chimera King], is considered [Chimera the Mythical Beast] while it is on the field or in the graveyard. Therefore, its attack power increases by 600 points based on the effects of the two Cross-Winged Birds in the graveyard."
[Fantasy Beast Chimera: Attack Power 3100 → 3700]
Misawa was stunned by this storytelling. "What a powerful combination! They leveled the gap between the two sides with just one card."
At this moment, Kagurazaka crossed his arms and said calmly, "That concludes my turn."
"And during the end phase, due to the effect of [Chimera King] activated this turn, Yusei Fudo must randomly discard one card from your hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the three cards in Judai's hand suddenly emitted a faint golden light.
The latter's tense expression immediately relaxed.
Call--!
He tossed the card into the graveyard as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.
Kagurazaka remembered that the card existed before Judai recycled it.
"Tsk, failed to send Sky Scourge to his grave, huh...?"
But it didn't matter; his venue was almost ready. In his view, with this venue, he was completely invincible.
Judai was unaware of his confidence.
"Finally, it's my turn! Time to draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 2→3]
Before he could even check his hand, the voice from the other side came again. "During your preparation phase, I'll activate another effect of [Chimera King] from my graveyard!"
During your opponent's turn, you can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 Beast, Fiend-type, or Fantasy Beast monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that monster.
A card popped out of the Kagurazaka Duel Disk's graveyard, releasing a burst of white light.
"Appear, [Bewitching Magician]!"
Bathed in light, the magician, dressed in a gold-trimmed robe adorned with numerous symbols of the Eye of Ughert, was projected onto the scene.
[Bewitching Magician: Attack Power 2500]
Looking at the huge group of monsters opposite him, Judai felt a sense of unease for the first time in a long time.
Chapter Thirty-Five: The Great Tornado Hero, Light Fang
Judai was unaware of the characteristics of the Fantasy Beast monsters, so he could only probe their abilities first.
"Then I summon [Elemental HERO Avian] from my hand in Attack Position."
Buzz--!!
Amidst a flash of golden light, Sky Scourge was summoned back into the arena.
[Elemental HERO Avian: Attack Power 1800]
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 3→2]
"And thanks to the arrival of Sky Scourge, I can add a [Hero] monster from my deck to my hand."
Kagurazaka sneered, "Hmph, do you think the same trick will work?"
He pointed to the ghostly armor on his left and shouted, "At this moment, another special effect of [Mirror Sword Knight] activates!"
