What an Exciting Match

"I activate [Swordsmith]'s effect and reveal a [Swordsmith] card to you. Special Summon a [Swordsmith] Token to the field."

He showed Mu Fengyu the [Swordsmith Research] in his hand, and an unfinished sword blade appeared on the field.

Rebel tuned the [Swordsmith] and the Token on his field, Special Summoning [Swordsmith Grandmaster] Lingxiao. He activated Lingxiao's special effect and chained [Swordsmith]'s special effect.

Mu Fengyu's hand +1.

He drew two cards from his deck, then activated the effect of [Swordsmith Master] Xiangyuan from his hand, discarding a [Swordsmith] card from his hand to Special Summon Xiangyuan.

An old man wearing a bamboo hat and carrying an air of great prestige walked onto the field from the void. The moment he appeared, an unfinished sword blade appeared beside him.

Mu Fengyu's hand +1.

Then Rebel Synchro Summoned using Xiangyuan and the Token. The old man and the unfinished sword blade gradually turned into flowers, replaced by a baron riding a warhorse.

Mu Fengyu's hand +1.

Rebel looked at the field and declared madly.

"Appear, Level 10 Synchro, Flower Baron! Activate Xiangyuan's effect in the graveyard."

"Tremble before my perfect display."

When Xiangyuan was sent to the graveyard as material, the opponent lost 1200 LP.

Mu Fengyu LP -1200, LP 6800.

[Flower Baron] KAT 3000, DEF 2400.

[Swordsmith Grandmaster] Lingxiao KAT 2800, DEF 1000.

Looking at this perfect opening on the field, Rebel silently placed the two cards in his hand into two slots in his back row and looked provocatively at Mu Fengyu.

"I set two cards in the back row and end my turn."

Mu Fengyu looked at his still-crazed opponent, yawned boredly, and rubbed his eyes.

"Ha, are you finally done? Then it's my turn."

Mu Fengyu drew a card from his deck. When he saw it, his smile gradually turned strange, and he directly placed the card into his opponent's card slot.

"[Lava Golem] Magma Stone Demon, how do you like that?"

[Lava Golem] Magma Stone Demon KAT 3000 DEF 2500.

The two monsters on Rebel's field gradually turned into lava, slowly merging into a massive lava monster.

Watching the monsters on his field vanish just like that, Rebel's face instantly turned livid. He pointed at Mu Fengyu and started cursing.

"Why do you have that card? Shouldn't it only be available in the limited-time card packs?"

"Can't help it. I hired over two hundred people to grab card packs all at once. Jealous?"

"You'll never understand the joy of being rich. Still, this really is an exciting match."

Mu Fengyu spread his hands with an innocent look, then swept his hand forward.

"I activate [Harpie's Feather]'s effect, clearing out the opponent's back-row cards. Then I set five cards in my back row and end my turn."

A green feather lightly swept across Rebel's back row, and the two cards immediately shattered. Meanwhile, five cards appeared in Mu Fengyu's back row with five loud pops.

Magma Stone Demon activated its effect. Rebel PL -1000, PL 7000.

Rebel could no longer control his emotions and glared furiously at Mu Fengyu.

"What the hell kind of cards did you bring? Why are they all so disgusting?"

Mu Fengyu only smiled without replying, making a ridiculous face as he grinned at him.

Though he wanted to immediately Special Summon a fist and smash it into that face, this was an official match, so Rebel held himself back. He silently swore that one day, he would plant his fist right into that smug, punchable face.

He took a deep breath to steady himself, then drew a card from his deck. Seeing it, delight rose in his heart.

"I Normal Summon [Swordsmith] Saron from my hand. I activate its effect to summon a Token, then Synchro Summon [Swordsmith Grandmaster] Xiangyuan."

Mu Fengyu PL -1200, PL 5600.

Saron's effect, draw one. Reveal and Special Summon Lingxiao.

"I activate the Spell Card [Sakadas Rite], summoning a [Hero] Token onto the field. I select a [Fateful Adventure] from my deck and add it to my hand."

"I activate [Fateful Adventure] and select a [Gryphon Rider] from my deck. I activate [Gryphon Rider]'s special effect and Special Summon [Gryphon Rider] from my hand."

"Then I activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] to revive Saron from the graveyard. Saron activates its effect and summons a [Swordsmith] Token onto the field."

"I activate Lingxiao's effect, banishing a [Swordsmith Dark Shift] in the graveyard. Its effect raises the [Swordsmith] Token on the field to Level 6. I tune Saron and the [Swordsmith] Token."

"Wait a second, does my set [Solemn Judgment] have anything to say about that?"

Mu Fengyu's interruption instantly doused Rebel's momentum. He glared viciously at Mu Fengyu and said.

"I activate [Gryphon Rider]'s effect, destroying [Solemn Judgment]. [Gryphon Rider] returns to my hand."

Then he looked at Mu Fengyu and said, one word at a time.

"Do you have any other set cards?"

"Hahaha, no. Go on."

Mu Fengyu said with a laugh, scratching his head.

Rebel continued his combo, tuning Saron and the [Swordsmith] Token to Synchro Summon [Swordsmith Evil Soldier] Seven-Star Demon Sword.

"Wait a second."

Rebel finally couldn't take it anymore and snapped furiously.

"Didn't you say there were no more set cards?"

"There aren't any set cards. But [Primal Being] Nibiru—tribute all Special Summoned monsters during the opponent's turn."

Seven-Star Demon Sword and Lingxiao on Rebel's field vanished one after another. A deafening roar came from the sky as a meteor crashed straight down onto Mu Fengyu's field.

A dragon-like creature pieced together from meteor fragments also appeared on Rebel's field: a [Primal Being] Token.

Although the main force on his field had been wiped out, he still had several monsters with high attack power, while Mu Fengyu had no monsters on the field at all.

[Lava Golem] Magma Stone Demon, Attack Position, AKT 3000 DEF 2500.

[Hero] Token, Attack Position, AKT 2000 DEF 2000.

[Primal Being] Token, Defense Position, AKT 5400 DEF 3300.

Both players' LP: Mu Fengyu PL 5600.

Rebel PL 7000.

Rebel directly ended his Main Phase and entered the Battle Phase.

"[Lava Golem] and the [Hero] Token, attack."

The illusory [Hero] Token attacked first, dealing 2000 points of damage directly to Mu Fengyu. [Lava Golem]'s attack followed close behind.

"Wait a second. [Peaceful Scarecrow] activates its effect. I discard this card to the graveyard to negate a monster's attack and end the Battle Phase."

A scarecrow flew down from Mu Fengyu's side, transforming into a dove of peace before [Lava Golem]. [Lava Golem]'s vicious gaze instantly became peaceful.
