Chapter 1105: Feeling the Power of a Champion
The Bone Knight's mind was in turmoil.
This guy, not only did he withstand such a powerful impact without a care, but he seemed to be learning from the Bone Knight's Dark Sprint tactics.
He quickly recalled all the Duelists he knew. The Bone Knight considered himself well-acquainted with many strong Duelists, including those with unyielding wills.
After all, the Dark Sprint Duel was a ritual that only those with strong wills and a taste for thrills dared to challenge. A single misstep could mean eternal doom before their Life Points reached zero. Therefore, the experts in Dark Sprint were fearless and daring.
But even so, in the Bone Knight's memory, such a calm and composed individual was a first.
For a moment, he even thought that the other guy had deliberately taken the damage just to experience and learn from the Bone Knight's Dark Sprint tactics.
No, that was absurd. To be so reckless in a life-and-death sprint was not just a disregard for the opponent but also a disregard for one's own life.
Was he not at all worried about losing?
"Is your Turn over?" Youxuan asked.
"Um, yeah."
The Bone Knight shook his head to clear his unsettling thoughts.
"My Turn is over."
The Bone Knight said.
"Is it over? Then it's my Turn. Draw."
Youxuan drew a card, and another golden light flashed from the Graveyard zone of the D-Wheel.
"Now, during the Preparation Phase, since I have no Magic or Trap Cards in my Backfield, the effect of 'Nether Frog' in the Graveyard is activated.
This card can be Special Summoned during my Preparation Phase."
Youxuan snapped his fingers.
"Return to the field, Nether Frog."
The small golden frog returned to the field, flapping its wings and wearing a halo above its head.
[Nether Frog, Defense: 100]
Then, Youxuan glanced at his hand and chuckled mysteriously.
"Underestimating the power of the 'Frogs,' huh? I'll make you remember what it means to face a world champion."
The Bone Knight was puzzled: "What?"
Did he just mention something about a champion?
Youxuan didn't bother to explain further, saying, "When I have a Level 3 or lower Water attribute monster on my field, this card can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by discarding a card from my hand.
I discard a card from my hand and revive this card—
—Cyber Fishman Gunner!"
Youxuan discarded a card into the Graveyard, and a transparent blue vortex opened on the side of his speeding D-Wheel. A steel-clad warrior emerged from the splashing water, wielding a water jet gun. A blue conduit extended into the central cockpit of the mech.
But there was no seat or pilot in the cockpit, or rather, the pilot appeared to be a fish. The entire cockpit was its aquarium, bubbling with water.
[Cyber Fishman Gunner, Attack: 100]
Despite being a 1-star Tuner with only 100 Attack, this card had a place among the banned cards. When the Frog Deck won the world championship, this guy must have played a significant role.
"Furthermore, the card I discarded to revive the Fishman was the Magic Card 'Compensatory Treasure Card,'" Youxuan said. "By discarding 'Compensatory Treasure Card' from my hand, I can draw two more cards from my Deck."
Youxuan drew two more cards.
"Next, I release 'Nether Frog!'" Youxuan declared. "Advanced Summon!
Level 5, Death Frog!"
The small angelic frog dissipated into light, releasing a colorful vortex. The vortex quickly overflowed with azure water, transforming into a swirling stream. A massive, blue-green frog leaped out, hopping along beside Youxuan's D-Wheel.
[Death Frog, Attack Power 1900]
"An Advanced Summon, huh", the Bone Knight sneered. "All that talk, and you just summon a frog with 1900 Attack Power."
The Bone Knight's mind raced, his eyes flicking to the Cyber Fishman Gunner.
"Is that thing a Tuner monster, Masaka!?"
"Exactly."
Youxuan raised his right arm.
"When using 'Cyber Fishman Gunner' as a Synchro Material, all other materials must also be Water attribute monsters. Death Frog is Water, satisfying the Gunner's self-imposed conditions.
Therefore, I Synchro Summon using the Level 1 Tuner 'Cyber Fishman Gunner' and the Level 5 'Death Frog'!"
Indeed, this is why the Cyber Fishman Gunner and the Frog series have such excellent synergy, forming a crucial part of the world champion's deck.
The Cyber Fishman Gunner can only revive itself when there is a Water attribute monster on the field and can only Synchro Summon with Water attribute monsters.
Death Frog is the only Level 5 monster in the Frog deck, making it easy to summon through the deck's internal system, with countless ways to bring it out.
Cyber Fishman Gunner is Level 1, and Death Frog is Level 5.
A Level 6 Synchro, Water attribute. It's as if these three decks were designed to perfectly align, leading to the strongest and most ferocious Synchro monster in the current environment.
"The icy stars coalesce on the tip of the blade, piercing the sky with the frigid lance! Synchro Summon—
—Level 6, Glacial Dragon - Light Lance Dragon!!!"
The Synchro aura exploded in the blizzard, a frosty white chill radiating from the altar. Countless hexagonal ice crystals cascaded from the ceiling, forming an inverted ice forest, and the track was instantly covered in a web of ice-blue cracks.
The absolute cold swirled within the Synchro aura, and a glacial, ice-blue dragon emerged, breaking through the ice. Its layered ice scales shimmered in the snowstorm, each edge adorned with dagger-like icicles. Its long neck, like a glacial fissure, was lined with deep blue energy patterns, and the ice spines along its spine pulsed with a pale blue glow with each breath.
Glacial Dragon - Light Lance Dragon, summon!
[Glacial Dragon - Light Lance Dragon, Attack Power 2300]
The blizzard unleashed during the Synchro Summon initially left the Bone Knight quite shaken. However, upon seeing the Light Lance Dragon, he seemed to relax a bit.
"Hmph, I thought something truly formidable was coming out. Just 2300 Attack Power, huh? A mere Level 6 Synchro, and you think you can defeat my Underworld Dragon?"
But even as he spoke, a sense of danger instinctively washed over him from this dragon.
Why is that...
But soon, Youxuan answered his question.
"Glacial Dragon - Light Lance Dragon's effect activates", Youxuan said. "By discarding any number of cards from my hand to the Graveyard, I can return any number of cards on the field to their owners' hands."
The Bone Knight's eyes widened in shock.
