Ice Barrier Dragon / Dinosaur Slays Dragon
As the hexagonal barrier gradually melted away, its central part slowly opened up, revealing a vast and boundless world of ice and snow on the other side, resembling the polar regions.
Alisa said, "This is definitely not underground on the Ice Path; it's very likely a dimensional space formed from fragments of the Spirit Realm."
You Zhi didn't rush in. He first picked up a stone and threw it in, then let the elf pass through the gate to make sure there was no danger before entering with Alisa.
"It's like stepping onto a continent made of glaciers."
The two hadn't walked far when they spotted their rescue target, but Alisa didn't show any joy, because her brother was frozen solid.
A blond youth was seen holding an elf called "Millennium Shield" in both hands, frozen into an ice sculpture, trapped inside a small iceberg.
If it were an Earthling, being frozen like that would be incredibly cold. Even if the iceberg were melted and the person were rescued, it would be useless; they would just be a corpse. But it's hard to say about the people of this world. Not only are they physically stronger, but they also have the protection of spiritual power.
At least Dio wasn't dead yet. His eyes twitched noticeably, and after recognizing the person, he couldn't help but show a tense and worried expression, as if urging the person to leave quickly.
"Elder brother!"
Alisa hurriedly summoned the Cyber Dragon and commanded it to use Evolution Burst.
Just then, the icy continent beneath their feet trembled violently, and accompanied by three angry dragon roars, a gigantic three-headed ice dragon burst forth from the ice.
[Trishula, Zero Dragon of the Ice Barrier (11-star) Water]
[Lineage: Dragon, Ice]
[Level: 55]
[Talent: Berserk]
[Attack Power: 2700 (2700)]
[Defense Strength: 2200 (2200)]
[Dragon-Type, Effect: ① When this card is Synchro Summon: You can banish up to 3 cards your opponent controls; ② If this Synchro Summon card is destroyed by your opponent: You can Special Summon 1 "Ice Barrier Dragon Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" from your Extra Deck or Graveyard, with its ATK increased to 3300. If your opponent controls a face-up monster, halve its ATK and negate its effects.]
Alisa was astonished. "The legendary Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier! There really is a legendary elf here!"
"Don't be shocked, the other person's morning grumpiness is about to kick in."
Having already seen the Three Egyptian Gods You Zhi, Yuichi wasn't particularly interested in legendary Pokémon.
As they were talking, the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, awakened by the noise, sprayed extremely cold air at the Cyber Dragon, which was Sheer Cold that was set to kill in one hit in the Yugi.
This move is also very difficult to hit in reality. Unfortunately, the opponent has three heads and spews out three streams of extremely cold air. The Cyber Dragon was unable to dodge them all and was hit by one of them, instantly freezing into an ice sculpture!
Chapter 269 Ice Barrier Dragon
The moves in this world, such as Sheer Cold, Fissure, Guillotine, and Horn Drill, do not have the effect of one-hit kill, but they are indeed very powerful and ignore the resistance of the spectrum. Therefore, Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier's attack instantly killed Cyber Dragon.
You Zhi immediately instructed Icejade Aegirine to go up, Icejade Aegirine extended five slender ice crystal fingers, from which ice pillars appeared out of thin air and shot towards the enemy.
One of the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier's heads released Dragon Pulse, shattering the incoming ice pillars, while the remaining two heads released Sheer Cold again.
Icejade Aegirine neither flinched nor dodged, letting the extreme cold assault its body without being affected in the slightest, and continued to summon ice pillars to suppress it— Sheer Cold has no effect on Ice-type spirits.
"Having many brains doesn't make you any great!"
While Icejade Aegirine was locked in combat with the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, Alisa quickly crafted an "Cyber Revolution System," which, once activated, revived the Cyber Dragon.
[Instant Cast Spell: Cyber Revolution System]
[Effect: Revives a 'Cyber Dragon'. The revived Pokémon cannot be destroyed by effects.]
After being revived, the Pokémon will return to its state before the final blow, while the Cyber Dragon was killed in one hit, so it will revive with full health and full condition.
Just as Alisa was preparing to evolve the Cyber Dragon into the Chimeratech Overdragon, she suddenly heard two crisp sounds, and two more Ice Dragons flew out from the ice beneath her feet.
[Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (6-star) Water]
[Lineage: Ice, Flight]
[Level: 36]
[Attack Power: 2300 (2530)]
[Defense: 1400 (1540)]
[Sea Serpent, Effect: Omitted]
[Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (7-star) Water]
[Lineage: Ice, Dragon]
[Level: 38]
[Attack Power: 2500 (2607)]
[Defense Strength: 1700 (1773)]
[Dragon-Type, Effect: Omitted]
"You even have subordinates? Don't you have any dignity as a legendary elf?"
Alisa had always thought that only wild elf leaders would flaunt their minions, but she never expected that a legendary elf would be so uncouth. Didn't they know that the strong are always aloof?
She hesitated for a moment, then quickly changed her words: "Cyber Dragon, Advanced Evolution!"
Fusion Evolution is what makes Chimeratech Overdragon, while advanced evolution is a different form altogether.
In the shimmering light, the Cyber Dragon's head flattened, its body sprouted numerous sharp edges, and its tail blossomed into flowers.
[Cyber Laser Dragon (7 Stars) Light]
[Lineage: Steel, Dragon]
[Level: 35]
[Attack Power: 2400 (2400)]
[Defense Strength: 1800 (1800)]
[Machine-Type, Effect: You can destroy 1 monster with ATK or DEF equal to or higher than this card. You can only use this effect once per turn.]
That wasn't all. Alisa then summoned a spirit called "Attached Cyber Wing" and equipped it on the Cyber Laser Dragon, increasing its attack power by 600 and granting it a chance to revive.
"Leave these two spirits to me; you focus on dealing with the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier."
You Zhi glanced at it and said, "Don't you still have an 'Armored Cyber Wing'? Why don't you equip it too? There's no rule that says you can only equip one Pokémon, is there?"
Anyway, the Cyber Laser Dragon is so long, there's no problem finding a place to install it.
Alisa explained, "The Armored Cyber Wing can only be equipped to 'Cyber Dragon' sprites, while the Attached Cyber Wing can be equipped to 'Electronic' sprites, and the Cyber Laser Dragon belongs to the latter."
You Zhi thought about it and realized that it was true based on the name. He could only remind him, "The dragon flying in the air has the effect of bouncing cards back into your hand, and the dragon on the ground has the effect of destroying cards."
Although judging from the Cheat Appraisal, the two Pokémon must discard cards from their hand to activate their abilities, based on past battle experience, this cost can usually be replaced by sacrificing life force.
Alisa nodded to indicate that she understood, and then ordered Cyber Laser Dragon to launch an attack to attract the attention of the two Ice Barrier Dragons, while concentrating the main firepower on the Light Gun Dragon to prevent it from activating its special ability.
Steel-type is super effective against Ice-type, Cyber Laser Dragon has an advantage in the lineage, and it also has the ability to trigger a destructive effect once per turn, making it even more effective against two opponents at once.
The neglected Sky Spear Dragon activated its ability, and ice shards peeled off its body, coalescing into a sharp ice spear that shot through the air at lightning speed towards Cyber Laser Dragon.
Bang!
The ice spear exploded upon impact, making a piercing sound, but it left no mark on the Cyber Laser Dragon.
Alisa smiled smugly upon seeing this. Wild Pokémon are just wild Pokémon; they lack the wisdom of a trainer, don't understand the intricacies of the game, and are easily tricked.
This is naturally due to the effect-breaking resistance granted by the "Cyber Revolution System". Although this card was originally intended for Cyber Dragon, in Spirit Duel, Pokémon before and after evolution are considered the same Pokémon and will inherit their original status and buffs.
For example, if a trainer uses an equipment card on a Pokémon, the equipment will remain even after the Pokémon evolves and will not disappear due to the loss of the equipment object.
This is why Alisa chose to focus on Ice Lance Dragon. Although bouncing cards back into the hand is generally considered a beneficial effect, as it means getting a free chance to replace a Pokémon, it's not an option right now. Once Cyber Laser Dragon bounced back into Pokémon Card, even if it's immediately resummoned, it will lose the resistance granted by the "Cyber Revolution System," which is equivalent to resetting its state.
On the other side, Icejade Aegirine battled Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier. The two were evenly matched, their lineages did not counter each other, and their abilities were practically nonexistent. While Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier had three heads, Icejade Aegirine also had its own floating cannons and was more agile. Therefore, neither could gain the upper hand, and the battle became a stalemate.
After a while, Icejade Aegirine was the first to show signs of fatigue. She had consumed a lot of spiritual power in order to forcibly remove the barrier. Seeing this, You Zhi did not care about One for One fair one-on-one duel and summoned the Demon Lizard Yihao.
"What was just testing before, now it's real combat! Come on, Xyz Evolution!"
With a roar, the Demon Lizard Yihao unleashed three illusory figures that Polymerization into one, instantly radiating a divine light. As if a magical girl had transformed and changed her attire, he descended as Awakened Warrior, a Spirit Core encircling his body.
"Only one minute left, let's finish this quickly!"
Without hesitation, Warrior Yihao raised his hands high, assuming the posture of summoning a Spirit Bomb. Instantly, powerful spiritual energy gathered, forming a misty spiritual fog. A huge fist burst out of the fog and smashed towards the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier.
The Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier fought back fiercely, unleashing a blizzard of countless ice Blizzard that roared out and became even more powerful with the help of the environment.
However, against the type advantage of Max Knuckle, this Blizzard proved to be more show than substance. The powerful winds could not slow down the giant fist's descent, and the sharp ice spikes were easily crushed.
The giant fist struck the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier squarely, slamming it down with a mournful cry. The earth below suddenly cracked open, and the residual force shook the entire ice continent, sending chunks of ice flying into the sky and falling like hailstones.
Even Alisa, who was focused on the duel, couldn't help but be drawn to it, turning her head in surprise and saying, "What form is this? I've never seen it before..."
"Don't give your opponent a chance to breathe! Final blow, Max Starfall!"
Chapter 270 Dinosaur Slaying Dragons
Warrior Yihao unleashed energy beyond his limits once again, condensing three glittering pentagrams in the sky that plummeted down, striking the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier as it was about to get up and knocking it back down. The raging Fairy-type energy spread out like bursting soda bubbles, covering half of the icy continent.
After using two Dynamax moves, the Spirit Core on Warrior Yihao dissipated, and he exited Xyz Form, not even lasting a minute.
However, the results were significant. After taking two super-effective Dynamax moves, Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, despite having 11 stars of vitality, could not withstand the attack and exploded on the spot.
"It's done!" Alisa exclaimed with delight.
Knowing his opponent's characteristics, You Zhi naturally didn't let his guard down, knowing that the real battle was about to begin.
As expected, the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier's explosion generated a powerful ice Storm that roared outwards in all directions. The Icejade Aegirine, Demon Lizard Yihao, and Cyber Laser Dragon, which were affected, had their special abilities sealed and their attack power halved.
In fact, You Zhi could have chained the Icejade Aegirine ability at this point to exclude Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier and prevent its subsequent form change, but doing so would have meant losing the chance to capture it. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment and did not activate it.
The next moment, the spiritual energy particles generated by the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier's explosion rapidly condensed and reappeared in their degenerated form.
[Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier (9-star) Water]
[Lineage: Dragon, Ice]
[Level: 55]
[Attack Power: 2700 (3300)]
[Defense Strength: 2000 (2222)]
[Dragon-Type, Effect: When this card is Synchro Summon, you can Yugi up to 1 card from your opponent's hand, field, and Graveyard.]
The ability of a level 9 Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier can only be activated during Synchro Evolution, but it is currently in a form changed by an effect, which does not meet the activation condition.
Incidentally, in Card Duel, the 11-star Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier and the 9-star Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier are two different cards. Even if you use the Icejade Aegirine ability to banish the former, it cannot prevent the latter from appearing. However, in Spirit Duel, they are the same Pokémon.
"In Official Duel, the immunity ability combined with halved attack power would be enough to defeat the opponent's ace Pokémon. In a double battle, it could eliminate two threats at once, which is undeniably powerful. Unfortunately, this is not a duel between trainers."
Without needing to consider the limit on the number of battle slots, You Zhi immediately recalled the two Pokémon whose attack power had been halved, and instead summoned the Spiked Dragon Queen.
"Wow, what a powerful aura! This is no ordinary opponent!"
The Spiked Dragon Queen's eyes lit up when she saw the Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, and she rubbed her hands together, full of fighting spirit.
You Zhi cautioned, "Be careful not to kill it. I plan to subdue it."
"Okay, okay."
The Spiked Dragon Queen waved her hand, about to charge into battle, when she was pulled back.
"Don't rush, get your equipment first."
You Zhi spoke, he activated the newly forged Spell Card "Axe of Fools".
The Spiked Dragon Queen looked at the axe that had fallen into her hand, swung it a few times casually, and said with a look of disdain, "I'm not good at using an axe."
"It doesn't matter. The key is its effect: it allows you to boost your attack power to the limit without reducing your health."
The Axe of Fools has the negative effect of nullifying Pokémon abilities, but it's a positive effect for Spiked Dragon Queen, making her 4000 Attack stat more than just a pretty number on paper.
