Chapter 344
As He spoke, the Duel Disk on His arm unfolded like a fan.
Kaiser Ryo also unfolded his Duel Disk: "Everyone, stand back!"
Yubel: "Our duel is going to be very intense!"
After everyone had retreated a bit, the two finally began their duel.
Chapter 255 Advanced Crystal Beasts, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon
"Duel!!" ×2
[Ryo Marufuji: LP4000]
[Yubel: LP4000]
After the duel between Kaiser Ryo and Yubel began, Yubel drew a card first.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yubel's hand cards: 5→6]
Yubel revealed one card. "First, I activate the monster effect of [Advanced Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle] from my hand."
"Send this card from your hand or the field to the Graveyard, and add one [Advanced Dark Barrier] from your Deck to your hand."
Immediately, a card popped out of Yubel's deck, and he deftly caught it.
Upon seeing this, Kaiser Ryo sneered, "Roar~, Advanced Crystal Beasts? Advanced Dark Barrier? Heh, it seems to be a fallen Crystal Beasts. I wonder which one is stronger, the original or the new one?"
"Why don't you try it and you'll see..."
Yubel spoke, Huber placed the card in his hand on the field area.
[Yubel's hand cards: 6→5]
"Activate Field Spell, [Advanced Dark Barrier]!"
Swish!
As the cards were collected by the field area, a barrier suddenly appeared beneath His feet, then rapidly expanded, enveloping the two duelists. Blue flames burned around the barrier.
Then He placed a card from his hand onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus] in Attack Position!"
With a flash of light, a dark blue gemstone appeared and instantly shattered, releasing a burst of darkness. Then, a white Pegasus, now dull and lifeless with its horn stained black, emerged from the darkness and appeared before everyone's eyes.
[Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus: Attack Power 1800]
[Yubel's hand cards: 5→4]
Upon seeing this, Judai frowned and asked, "Has the Crystal Beasts fallen into darkness?"
Asuka: "That beautiful Crystal Beasts has turned into this..."
Cronos: "Are you really okay, Ryo?"
"..."
As the crowd discussed this, Yubel pointed to the Pegasus and said, "The Jade Pegasus can summon another gem."
If this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summon, or Special Summoned: You can activate this effect. Choose 1 [Advanced Crystal Beasts] monster from your hand, Deck, Graveyard, or banished monsters and place it face-up in your Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell Card.
"I selected the Amber Mammoth from my deck and placed it on the field."
A flash of orange light appeared at Yubel's feet, revealing a dark-colored amber rough stone.
He then played another card from his hand. "I activate the Spell Card [Crystal Contract] from my hand to Special Summon one [Crystal Beasts] from my Spell & Trap Zone."
[Yubel's hand: 4→3]
"Come on, Amber Mammoth!"
Bang!
The amber stone exploded instantly, revealing a mammoth with four legs and a trunk covered in black armor.
[Advanced Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth: Attack Power 1700]
"That concludes my turn."
After Yubel announced the end of his turn, Kaiser Ryo did not hesitate and immediately drew a card from his deck.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Ryo Marufuji's cue cards: 5→6]
After glancing at his hand, Kaiser Ryo chuckled and said, "Hmph, you dare to show me such weaklings? Looks like I've been underestimated."
Yubel: "Ha, you'll find out once the duel continues."
"What?"
Kaiser Ryo was stunned for a moment, then looked down and suddenly realized. "So they're being protected by a [Advanced Dark Barrier]? If that's the case..."
He first placed a card from his hand onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [Cyber Dragon Core] in Attack Position."
Buzz!
A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and a very rudimentary Cyber Dragon was projected.
[Cyber Dragon Core: Attack Power 400]
"[Cyber Dragon Core] Monster Effect activated!"
If this card is successfully summoned, activate this effect: Add 1 [Cyber] Spell/ Trap Card or [Cyber Tech] Spell/ Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.
"Using this effect, I add [Cyber Load Fusion] to my hand."
After retrieving the card into his hand, Kaiser Ryo continued, "[Cyber Dragon Core] is treated as [Cyber Dragon] while it's on the field or in the Graveyard, therefore..."
He drew two cards from his hand and revealed them together. "I activate the Spell Card [Polymerization] from my hand, Polymerization [Cyber Dragon] from my hand with [Cyber Dragon Core] from the field as materials."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Cyber Dragon appeared on the field, and the next second the two mechanical dragons were instantly swallowed by the Polymerization vortex, releasing a dazzling light.
"[Chimeratech Rampage Dragon], Summon!"
From the depths of the light, a black mechanical dragon body emerged with two mechanical dragon heads, and a new chimeric mechanical behemoth appeared before everyone's eyes.
'Roar--!'
[Chimeratech Rampage Dragon: Attack Power 2100]
[Ryo Marufuji's hand cards: 6→4]
Kaiser Ryo clenched his fist, his voice rising several decibels. "[Chimeratech Rampage Dragon] special effect activated!"
When this card is successfully Fusion Summon, you can target up to the number of Spell/ Trap Card on the field that were used as Polymerization Materials for this card; destroy those cards.
"I will use this to destroy the [Advanced Dark Barrier]!"
Upon Yubel calmly replied, "[Advanced Crystal Beasts] will be sent to the graveyard when there is no [Advanced Dark Barrier] on the field. You have indeed targeted my weakness..."
However, He changed the subject, "But do you think I didn't anticipate this trick?"
"What?"
Yubel pointed to the mammoth beside him and shouted, "At this moment, the monster effect of [Advanced Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth] activates!"
Once per turn, you can activate this effect when your opponent activates an effect that targets either your [Advanced Crystal Beasts] card or your [Advanced Dark Barrier]. Negate that activation.
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
Jim: "What? They took precautions all along?"
O'Brien: "[Advanced Crystal Beasts] is not only more evil-looking than [Crystal Beasts], but its effects have also evolved."
"..." Kaiser Ryo gritted his teeth, somewhat unwilling, and then said, "Then I'll activate the other effect of [Chimeratech Rampage Dragon]!"
Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can send up to 2 Machine-Type - Light Attribute monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard. During this turn, this card can attack in addition to its Normal Attacks during the same Battle Phase, plus the number of monsters sent to the Graveyard by this effect.
Chapter 256 Powerful Advanced Crystal Beasts
"Based on the effect of [Chimeratech Rampage Dragon], I sent [Cyber Lighthouse] and [Cyber Dragon Chip] from my deck to the graveyard. This card can attack three times during this turn's battle."
Seeing Kaiser Ryo throw two cards into the graveyard, Yubel exclaimed in surprise, "What?! It can launch three attacks?!"
Kaiser Ryo smiled confidently, "It's not just that. When the [Cyber Dragon Chip] is sent to the graveyard, its special effect activates."
"Choose one [Cyber Dragon] from your Deck or Graveyard, other than this card, and add it to your hand."
"Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, [Cyber Dragon Core] is treated as [Cyber Dragon] when it's in the graveyard. Therefore, based on the effect of [Cyber Dragon Chip], I'm adding [Cyber Dragon Core] from the graveyard to my hand."
[Ryo Marufuji's cue cards: 4→5]
Cronos: "As expected of Ryo, not a single card was wasted! Naonai!"
At this moment, Kaiser Ryo did not hesitate at all. He pointed at the opposite side and shouted sharply, "[Chimeratech Rampage Dragon] attacks [Advanced Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth], Evolution Chimeratech Rampage!"
"First strike!!"
Immediately, the chimera mechanical behemoth raised one of its dragon heads and unleashed a beam of light that hurtled towards the amber mammoth.
Seeing this Yubel calmly swung his hand and said coldly, "Don't even think about succeeding! [Advanced Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth]'s other effect activated!"
Once per turn, you can activate this effect when one of your [Advanced Crystal Beasts] monsters is targeted for an attack. Negate that attack.
"What!?"
A protective shield of light appeared around the Amber Mammoth, blocking the attack.
Boom--!!
When the smoke cleared, the amber mammoth reappeared before everyone's eyes unharmed.
"Tch, you dodged my attack... But don't forget I have two more attacks left, an attack on the Amber Mammoth, the second one!"
The Chimeratech Rampage Dragon raised its other head and launched a second attack at the Amber Mammoth.
Yubel removed his deck, he said, "It's no use, I'll activate the effect of the Field Spell [Advanced Dark Barrier]!"
When a battle from one of your [Crystal Beasts] monsters causes you to suffer battle damage during damage calculation, you can send 1 [Gem Beast] monster from your Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect. The battle damage you suffered from that battle becomes 0.
"I sent the [Advanced Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle] to the graveyard, and the damage it caused me became zero."
The next second, the flames struck the amber mammoth, instantly causing a violent explosion.
Boom--!!
As the smoke cleared, the amber mammoth disappeared, and a piece of raw amber appeared at Yubel's feet.
"The [Advanced Crystal Beasts], like the original [Crystal Beasts], transforms into gems and is placed in Spell & Trap Zone when destroyed."
Seeing Yubel's calm expression, Kaiser Ryo said excitedly, "That's really something! It wouldn't be fun otherwise."
"Then I'll lay one more card in my hand, and the turn ends."
[Ryo Marufuji's hand cards: 5→4]
Asuka, seeing that Kaiser Ryo had only ended his turn, asked in confusion, "[Chimeratech Rampage Dragon] clearly had one more attack left, but Ryo didn't continue attacking. Why is that?"
Judai explained, "[Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer] requires seven [Crystal Beasts] to be collected on the field and in the graveyard. Continuing to attack will only leave Jade Pegasus on the field, but because of the effect of [Advanced Dark Barrier], Yubel can send the other [Crystal Beasts] to the graveyard."
Edo nodded in agreement. "That's right, continuing the attack will only accelerate His process of collecting the gems, so there's no need for it."
While everyone was discussing, Yubel quickly drew a card from his deck.
"It's my turn! Draw a card!"
[Yubel's hand cards: 3→4]
Yubel's lips curled into a slight smile. He then placed the card in his left hand and drew another card, playing it.
"I activate the Spell Card [Crystal Blessing] from my hand, and place two [Crystal Beasts] from my Graveyard into the Spell & Trap Zone."
[Yubel's hand: 4→3]
"Come back, Cobalt-Spined Eagle and Ruby Beast!"
At His feet, red and blue lights flashed simultaneously, and two raw gemstones appeared.
"Then, I activated the special effect of the Ruby Beast."
