Armed Dragon LV5's eyes were instantly consumed by a savage, blood-red glow!
Its chest heaved violently, and every backward-curving metal blade on its back stood erect. A piercing, high-energy shriek gathered furiously deep in its jaws, forming a blue-black energy storm that radiated world-destroying pressure!
BOOM!!
An utterly ferocious beam of destruction roared out of the dragon's jaws and shot straight across the entire Dueling Field. Like a red-hot steel lance, it instantly pinned Silent Magician's entire airborne body in place!
Violent explosive shock waves swept across the field, and countless white motes of magical light shattered in the blinding glare!
The students outside the field raised their hands to shield their faces and cried out in shock.
"Destroyed! She really got destroyed!!"
"A legendary monster with twenty-five hundred attack points got taken out by a monster effect just like that, before she even fought?!"
"Chazz Princeton Lightning! You're fucking awesome!!"
Chazz Princeton folded his arms, the corners of his mouth raised high as he smugly surveyed Yūki's empty front row.
"See that, Yūki?! No matter how rare your monster is or how pretty you make its stats, against an absolute board-clearing effect, it's nothing but a pathetic jo-"
But before Chazz Princeton could finish his arrogant taunt, his words abruptly cut off as though an invisible hand had seized his throat.
Because Yūki, standing opposite him, showed not the slightest trace of panic.
Yūki simply stood there quietly, raising a hand to adjust his Duel Disk as a gentle, "All According to Plan" smile slowly curled his lips.
"Chazz Princeton, your Armed Dragon's effect is impressive. Really."
Yūki offered that casual compliment, then rested his fingers steadily over his Deck.
"But this exact moment, when you activated its effect to destroy her, is what I've been waiting for."
