Chapter 336: Fortunately, My Skills Prevail
Chapter 336: Fortunately, My Skills Prevail
"My turn, draw!"
Marufuji Ryo drew another card. Of course, everyone knew that the card he drew was the same Cyber Dragon that had just been bounced back to the top of his deck—a monster once hailed as the strongest, yet still no match for the Wind Emperor.
"I activate the magic card, 'Angel's Charity'!" Marufuji declared. "Draw three cards from my deck, and then discard two cards from my hand."
He casually drew and discarded two cards, but then another card popped out.
"The discarded card is the magic card, 'Compensation Treasure,' which allows me to draw two more cards from my deck!" Marufuji scanned his newly replenished arsenal and quickly devised his next move.
"Since my opponent has a monster on their field and I have none, I can special summon 'Cyber Dragon' once more!"
[Cyber Dragon: ATK 2100]
"Next, I activate a face-down card—the continuous trap, 'Limit Revival'! This card allows me to special summon a monster with an ATK of 1000 or less from my graveyard in attack position." Marufuji explained, "And the monster I choose to revive is the one I just discarded!"
He took the card that automatically slid out from the graveyard section of his Duel Disk.
"Special summon 'Fusion Curse - Branded Creature of Light'!"
[Fusion Curse - Imprint Creature - Light: ATK 1000]
"Now, I activate the effect of 'Fusion Curse-Biological Seal'. By tributing Fusion Material monsters on the field, including itself, I can Special Summon a LIGHT-attribute Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck, using this card as a substitute for one of the Fusion Materials!"
He pointed to the Cyber Dragon and the Curse-marked creature on the field.
"I tribute 'Polymerization Curse-Token Creature-Light' and 'Cyber Dragon'! Using Token Creature as a substitute for another 'Cyber Dragon,' I Fusion Summon—Cyber Twin Dragon!"
The Fusion Curse released a powerful stream of light, forming a vortex. Its body transformed into the shape of a Cyber Dragon, and both dragons disappeared in a flash of light.
A silver-white metal shell encased its body, forged like a thousand hammers had refined it. The metallic texture was hard and smooth, resembling a suit of silver armor. Two dragon heads sat on either side, with currents of electricity snaking across its body like silver serpents, occasionally converging to form bright arcs of electricity.
[Cyber Twin Dragon: ATK 2800]
The spectators were already excited: "It's here! Kaiser's strongest monster, second only to the End Dragon—the Cyber Twin Dragon!"
Although the anime claimed it to be the strongest monster "second only to the End Dragon," in reality, the Twin Dragon was often rated higher than the End Dragon in early competitions and frequently made appearances in the competitive scene.
"It's not over yet!" Marufuji shouted. "I activate the magic card, 'Monster Reborn'! This card allows me to special summon a monster from my graveyard.
I choose to revive the "Fusion Curse - Imprint Creature - Light" that was sent to the graveyard as a fusion material!
[Fusion Curse - Imprint Organism - Light: DEF 1600]
"Then, I normal summon 'Proto-Cyber Dragon' from my hand!"
[Proto-Cyber Dragon: ATK 1100]
A downgraded version of the Cyber Dragon with a level of three, the Proto-Cyber Dragon resembled an early prototype of the iconic monster. For a long time, it was the only card that could substitute for the Cyber Dragon, but as Cyber Dragon decks evolved and more components became available to replicate its effects, the Proto-Cyber Dragon fell out of favor and was completely phased out.
"'Proto-Cyber Dragon's' effect treats this card as 'Cyber Dragon' while it's on the field," Marufuji explained. "So, once again, I activate the effect of 'Fusion Curse - Imprint Creature - Light'!"
By tributing the "Polymerization" and the "Proto-Cyber Dragon," which is treated as "Cyber Dragon," I can Special Summon another LIGHT-attribute Fusion Monster!
The Curse-marked creature transformed into a Cyber Dragon, and two Cyber Dragons fused within a brilliant vortex of light.
[Cyber End Dragon: ATK 2800]
You Xuan's eyes narrowed, "So, you have another one."
In the anime, Kaiser was known to have two Cyber End Dragons, so it wasn't surprising that he had two Cyber Twin Dragons as well.
The spectators were already hyped up, especially the students in blue uniforms.
"As expected of Kaiser! Summoning two Cyber Twin Dragons in an instant!"
"With its powerful effect of attacking twice in one turn, two of them could..."
"...attack a total of four times in one turn!" another student interjected excitedly.
The concept of 2800 attack points hitting four times was devastating; it could wipe out an opponent and then some.
"Let's see whose might truly reigns supreme in the Duel Academy—your Emperor or my Cyber Dragons!" Marufuji shouted.
"Begin the battle! First, the first Cyber Twin Dragon will attack 'Wind Emperor - Ryzza'!"
The twin dragon heads of the Cyber Twin Dragon breathed fire and electricity, and the left head unleashed a dazzling blaze towards the Wind Emperor.
With a snap of his fingers, You Xuan activated his trap card, "I activate 'Wind Spirit Technique - Ya.' Sacrificing a Wind-Attribute monster on my field, I return one card on your field to the bottom of your deck."
You Xuan continued, "I sacrifice my Wind-Attribute 'Wind Emperor - Ryzza' to return 'Cyber Twin Dragon' to the bottom of your deck."
The Wind Emperor spread its arms wide, as if burning itself out, and unleashed a torrent of whirlwind power from within. The green tornado engulfed the Cyber Twin Dragon, causing it to disappear amidst the storm.
"Hmm, it was sent back to the deck," Marufuji muttered, his brow furrowed.
It wasn't easy to summon the Cyber Twin Dragon, but it had just been blown away.
However, that didn't matter. What would he do about the second one?
"Then, Cyber Twin Dragon Number Two, attack directly!"
The Wind Emperor and the first Cyber Twin Dragon had been exchanged for each other, and although it was a profitable trade, You Xuan's field was now empty. The second Cyber Twin Dragon's double attack could still lock in the victory!
"I activate the trap card, 'Phoenix's Blast,'" You Xuan announced as he flipped a face-down card and discarded a card from his hand.
"By discarding one card, I return one card on your field to the top of your deck. I discard one card to return 'Cyber Twin Dragon' Number Two to the top of your deck."
The phantom of the Nephthys Phoenix God appeared, its wings spreading wide as it created a fiery blast. The metallic dragon wailed in futility before being consumed by the storm of fire and disappearing from the field.
Marufuji: "."
Spectating Students: "."
Now, both sides had empty fields.
"That was close," You Xuan chuckled, "As expected of Kaiser. You almost took me out with a quadruple attack from your twin-headed dragons. I have to admit, your skill is impressive."
Marufuji: "."
He felt a strange sense of deja vu.
It was like playing a highly competitive online game with a hero that was extremely tricky to play but very flashy. You'd be pulling off insane moves, your fingers dancing across the keyboard, using every skill in your arsenal to its fullest potential.
Then, your opponent, playing some overpowered numerical advantage character, would casually press a button, deal 999 damage, and you'd be dead.
And after all that, they'd be the ones wiping the sweat off their brows, relieved that their superior skill had pulled them through.
