Chapter 249: The Dragon's Offensive
Chapter 249: The Dragon's Offensive
At that moment, President Kaiba also arrived at the scene and frowned at the spectacle before him.
However, he didn't fly into a rage as expected. Instead, he merely hummed low in displeasure.
"Another one of your boss's requests?" Kaiba said flatly, "As always, that guy has a twisted sense of humor."
It seemed that the president was quite familiar with the leader of this organization. Well, it was understandable; there were probably not many people in the world who dared to play such a prank on President Kaiba.
You Xuan's curiosity about the boss of these men grew even further.
"Where is that guy?" Kaiba asked.
A tall, leading figure stepped forward from the group of White Dragon hunks disguised as maids. "The boss has some important matters to attend to, but the car is ready. We'll take you to a place to rest, and the boss will join us soon after finishing his business."
Kaiba didn't say anything; he merely gestured for the man to lead the way.
However, the leader didn't move immediately. Instead, he smiled apologetically and said, "There's one more thing."
"What is it?" Kaiba asked.
The leader took a Duel Disk from one of his men and put it on his arm.
Kaiba glanced at him and hooked his lips into a smirk. "What's this? You want to duel?"
"Forgive my boldness, but this is also the boss's request," the leader said. "He wants to witness your dueling prowess, President Kaiba. After all, it has been many years since you've dueled publicly."
"Oh? Then why didn't that guy come himself? Is he afraid to face me?" Kaiba said, followed by a mocking laugh.
"Never mind. It'll make for a nice pre-dinner activity. Very well, then." Kaiba raised his arm, and his custom-made Duel Disk unfolded. "For that guy's sake, I'll make an exception and duel you."
"Thank you, President Kaiba," the leader said gratefully, stepping back.
You Xuan and the others also stepped back to make room for the duel, their curiosity piqued. They wondered if President Kaiba was itching for a duel after suppressing his dueling urges for so long or if the legendary boss of this organization had an incredibly high status.
"Duel!" x2
Kaiba: LP 4000
Leader: LP 4000
Glancing at the indicator lights on his Duel Disk, Kaiba narrowed his eyes. "Looks like I go first. Draw."
He drew a single card.
"I'll set a monster and end my turn."
The leader frowned.
Only one face-down monster? However, his opponent was Seto Kaiba, and he knew that even if Kaiba did nothing, he wouldn't let his guard down.
"My turn, draw!" the leader said. "I summon this card, the strongest insect—the Blade Skimmer! Come forth!"
Blade Skimmer: ATK 2400
"Wow, a Blade Skimmer!" Keihei exclaimed.
"Hmm, a Blade Skimmer," You Xuan echoed.
However, Keihei was impressed by the fact that it was a rare four-star monster with an attack power of 2400, making it incredibly strong.
You Xuan, on the other hand, was surprised that someone would actually use this kind of "insider" monster.
"The Blade Skimmer is the strongest insect," the leader explained confidently. "Despite being a Level 4 monster, it possesses an attack power equivalent to the legendary Red-Eyes Black Dragon. And the only risk associated with this attack power is that your opponent gets to draw one card during the Damage Step."
You Xuan remained silent.
Was letting your opponent draw one card considered a "mere risk"? Well, if that was how one saw it, then this was indeed an incredibly powerful monster.
"Next, I activate the Equip Spell Card 'Devil's Axe' to equip it to the Blade Skimmer and increase its attack power by 1000 points!"
Blade Skimmer: ATK 2400 → ATK 3400
Its attack power instantly surged from "legendary Red-Eyes Black Dragon" level to "higher than Blue-Eyes White Dragon"!
"Blade Skimmer, attack the face-down monster!"
The face-down monster was flipped over, and it was quickly shredded by the Blade Skimmer's powerful saw-like teeth.
Decoyroid: DEF 1000
"When Decoyroid is flipped face-up, I get to draw a card from my Deck," Kaiba said calmly. "Of course, due to the effect of 'Blade Skimmer,' I draw an additional card."
Kaiba drew two cards.
"I'll set three cards and end my turn," the leader said.
Summoning such a high-level monster right off the bat, along with his backrow setup, constituted a "perfect hand." He felt that he hadn't disgraced his boss today.
Even Seto Kaiba would likely feel pressured by this kind of setup, right?
"My turn, draw! I activate the Spell Card 'Greed' to draw two more cards from my Deck."
Kaiba slowly drew his cards and then looked at the leader meaningfully. "Since you were chosen to duel me, your boss must have high hopes for you, huh?"
The leader was taken aback for a moment before replying, "The boss trusts me, and I'm willing to go through fire and water for him. I'll complete any task he assigns."
"Hmph."
Kaiba closed his eyes and chuckled softly.
"Then, as a welcoming gift for that guy, I'll give you a little lesson."
When he opened his eyes again, they were as sharp as unsheathed steel blades.
"Witness the true power of a duel!"
He slammed down a monster card.
"The effect of Dragon Ruler activates when this card is successfully summoned. Discard a Magic Card from your hand and add the Magic Card 'Dragon Awakening Melody' from your deck to your hand."
Kaiba discarded a card from his hand and drew another as he searched his deck.
"And now, the Magic Card 'Melody of Dragon Awakening'! Discard one card from your hand and add up to two Dragon-Type monsters with an ATK of 3000 or more and a DEF of 2500 or less from your deck to your hand.
I add 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and 'Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon' to my hand!"
Kaiba drew the two cards he searched for from his deck, and they were immediately revealed.
"Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon can be Special Summoned by revealing 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in your hand.
I Special Summon 'Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon'!"
[Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon: ATK 3000]
"The effect of Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon allows me to destroy one monster on the field once per turn by forfeiting my attack.
I destroy 'Electric Blade Insect'!"
Silver Dragon opened its mouth, and a white beam of light blasted forth, causing the Electric Blade Insect to instantly vaporize in the scorching white light.
"Hmph, so my strongest insect was taken care of so easily," the leader grit his teeth.
But he still had an ironclad formation at the back.
"The effect of 'Dragon Lord-Dragon Dictator' in my hand activates. By sending a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my deck to the graveyard, I can Special Summon this card from my hand!"
[Dragon Lord-Dragon Dictator: ATK 1200]
"And now, the other effect of Dictator allows me to discard the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' I just searched for to Special Summon a 'Blue-Eyes' monster from my graveyard."
Kaiba waved his hand.
"I revive the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' that was discarded as the cost of 'Dragon Awakening Melody'!
Appear now—
—White Spirit Dragon!"
[White Spirit Dragon: ATK 2500]
"When White Spirit Dragon is Special Summoned, I can remove one Magic or Trap Card your opponent controls from play."
Kaiba pointed at one of the facedown cards.
"Remove that face-down card!"
A white storm swirled, and the face-down card was pulled into a dimensional vortex, disappearing from sight.
The counter-trap, "Attack Negation," was negated.
The leader's expression darkened.
Even his counter-trap was thwarted.
"I activate the Magic Card 'Polymerization'!" Kaiba declared. "When 'Dragon Ruler' is on the field, its name is treated as 'Dragon Dominator' for a Fusion Summon.
So I fuse 'Dragon Dominator' and 'The Dragon King of Doom' from my hand! Fusion Summon—
—Dragon Paladin, King of the Dragon Knights!!!"
[Dragon Paladin, King of the Dragon Knights: ATK 2400]
"And now, the effect of Dragon Paladin allows me to Special Summon a Dragon-Type monster from my hand once per turn."
Kaiba calmly drew another card from his hand.
"I Special Summon 'Substance Dragon'."
[Substance Dragon: ATK 2400]
The leader's expression grew even more unpleasant.
"To have such a field on the first turn..."
He glanced at his back row again, his heart pounding.
Would his back row be able to withstand Kaiba's Dragon-Type onslaught?
As if noticing the leader's gaze, Kaiba followed his eyes to the two facedown cards at the back.
Then he chuckled softly.
"Battle!" Kaiba commanded. "White Spirit Dragon, direct attack!"
White Spirit Dragon whipped up a white storm, gathering energy in its mouth and unleashing a dragon's roar-like blast!
"I activate my face-down card!" the leader shouted. "Trap Card 'Dimensional Imprisonment'! When an opponent's monster declares an attack, that monster is removed from play!"
"Useless," Kaiba said flatly. "'Dragon Paladin, King of the Dragon Knights' prevents your opponent from targeting Dragon-Type monsters with Magic, Trap, or monster effects."
Leader: "!!!"
Even this trap was useless?
"Hmph," the leader snarled. "Then I activate my other face-down card, the trap with the strongest reflective power—
—Holy Shield, Reflective Force!
Destroy all attacking monsters your opponent controls!"
"Useless," Kaiba stated, still calm.
As he spoke, it was as if an authoritative command was issued, and the holy reflective shield shattered into pieces.
Leader: "!?"
Why? Even Reflective Force didn't work?
"Reflective Force targets the entire field, not just Dragon-Type monsters," Kaiba explained.
"True," Kaiba acknowledged, his expression unchanged. "But the effect of 'Substance Dragon' allows me to discard one card from my hand to negate and destroy the activation of any Magic, Trap, or monster effect that includes 'destroying monsters on the field.'"
The leader's pupils contracted.
Neither Dimensional Imprisonment nor Reflective Force worked?
Kaiba's Dragon-Type onslaught swept over the leader, who closed his eyes and was knocked to the ground by the force of the attack.
This was... Kaiba's dueling style.
It left no openings.
Too strong.
[Leader: LP 0]
