Chapter 339: Giving Him a Blow
Chapter 339: Giving Him a Blow
"Sacred Shield - Reflective Force!"
A sacred blue radiance erupted from the Trap Card, forming an arc-like shield on the field. When it first appeared, the barrier seemed like a tranquil lake rippling gently in the breeze.
However, when the Eternal Evolution flame of Cyber End Dragon struck the barrier, the light began to dance and grew hotter and brighter. The flame restlessly jumped in the void as if absorbing the boundless flame of Cyber End Dragon, only to return it a hundredfold!
The blue radiance surged like a flood, and the spaces where it passed trembled.
The three mechanical behemoths—Cyber Dragon, Cyber End Dragon, and Cyber Barrier Dragon—were mercilessly engulfed. Their steel bodies seemed fragile in the face of the torrent and instantly shattered, twisting and deforming in the shockwave.
"He actually used Reflective Force at this time," Marufuji Ryo said in a low voice.
"Then I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, 'Cybernetic Zone'!"
The image on the Spell Card unfolded with a golden light, appearing on his field at the critical moment.
"Select a Machine-Type Fusion Monster you control and banish it from the game!"
He pointed to the Cyber End Dragon on his field.
"Banish 'Cyber End Dragon' from the game!"
The domain of magic unfolded, forming a star-blue barrier. The Cyber End Dragon was encased within it and narrowly vanished from the radiant magic just before it was engulfed by the holy light of destruction.
"He dodged it," You Xuan nodded. "But the remaining 'Cyber Dragon' and 'Cyber Barrier Dragon' will be destroyed."
Like a meteor streaking across the night sky, the sacred radiance swept through, leaving behind only emptiness. Even the shattered metal remnants slowly faded from view.
"What a shame. It's rare to assemble such a lineup. It's so dangerous. The previous Cyber Twin Dragon and just now the Cyber End Dragon, if you're not careful and graze it, it'll be an instant kill."
You Xuan patted his chest, feigning a frightened expression.
"As expected of Kaisar, his extreme power-type tactics are indeed as rumored."
Marufuji Ryo remained silent.
"It's just a pity that opponents don't always clash with power," You Xuan said. "Perhaps in Kaisar's eyes, using the strongest monsters and fighting with all his might is the best way to respect his opponents. But duelists can employ various strategies."
". I understand."
Marufuji Ryo closed his eyes lightly and said slowly, "But I've already decided that no matter what, I will continue on with my old friend. This is my way, my path. It doesn't matter what tactics or methods my opponent uses."
As he spoke, he drew another card.
"I activate the Magic Card, 'Temporary Truce.' Both players draw one card. Until the end of the opponent's next turn, all battle and effect damage you take becomes 0."
Marufuji Ryo drew another card and then seemed to ponder for a moment.
"I activate the Spell Card, 'Burial Draw.' Banish the Spell Cards 'Temporary Truce,' 'Time Capsule,' and 'Hellish Rampage Summons' from your Graveyard, then draw two cards."
Afterward, he waved his hand and set down two more cards.
"I set two cards in the backrow. My turn is over."
"During the End Phase, my 'Cyber End Dragon,' which was banished by my own 'Cybernetic Zone,' returns to the field. Furthermore, when a monster banished by this effect returns, its ATK doubles again!" Marufuji Ryo explained.
The star-blue beam descended once more, and the image of Cyber End Dragon appeared within the halo, its three heads thrown back in a roar.
[Cyber End Dragon: ATK 8000 → ATK 16000]
"That's terrifying! In the face of such power, even the Five Emperors Dragon would be reduced to insignificant fodder!"
The commentator remained dedicated to his role, providing a vivid description of the duel.
"What a duel this is! Kaiser has repeatedly unleashed deadly formations, only to be effortlessly countered by the 'one' from the Yellow Dormitory. However, Kaiser's offense shows no signs of waning; instead, it grows stronger! Everyone, take note! Cyber End Dragon with an Attack Power of 16,000! Sixteen thousand!"
Marufuji Ryo spoke in a solemn tone, "The effect of Power Bond ties its fate with mine. During the End Phase, if this card that was used for the Fusion Summon is still on the field, I take damage equal to its original Attack Points." (This is the original effect in the anime.)
It's worth noting that there are some differences between the anime and the actual card effects. In the anime, Power Bond's effect to inflict damage doesn't create a new chain when it resolves, and whether or not the Fusion Monster is still on the field during the End Phase, its controller takes the damage.
However, in the anime, the effect that deals damage activates during the End Phase, and the damage is only inflicted if the Fusion Monster is still present on the field. This is why Kaiser could use Fusion Release to avoid taking damage in the anime, whereas the same move wouldn't work with the actual card, as the effect was adjusted during its release to avoid being overpowered."
"Since I activated 'Temporary Truce,' all damage taken by both players becomes 0 until the end of my next turn," Marufuji Ryo explained. "As a result, the effect of 'Power Bond' is negated, and I won't take any damage."
".Wow, that's powerful!"
The spectators were once again in awe.
"He even took into account the backlash of Power Bond!"
You Xuan smiled, not at all surprised.
While Power Bond was Marufuji Ryo's signature move, every time he summoned the End Dragon, it was either immediately defeated or countered. Surprisingly, he had never been burned by the backlash of his own card.
This was only to be expected. Being able to predict and counter the potential drawbacks of his own cards was a testament to his skill as a duelist, and if he couldn't handle such intricacies, he wouldn't be worthy of the title of Kaiser.
"My turn, draw!"
You Xuan drew a card.
"In my preparation phase, since I have no Spell or Trap Cards in my hand, the 'Yellow Spring Frog' in my graveyard resurrects."
[Yellow Spring Frog: ATK 0 / DEF 100]
Marufuji Ryo frowned.
As expected, that frog again. An endless supply of ammunition for the Emperor.
You Xuan could see that despite the continuous setbacks, Kaiser remained unwavering.
He persisted in his chosen path, just as he stubbornly insisted on ending the match with Cyber Dragon or its Fusion Monsters.
From the underground duel Marufuji Ryo had participated in, it was evident that his Fusion Deck had always included other powerful monsters like "Chimeratech Overdragon." Still, he had been stubbornly refusing to use them until now.
It was only during that life-or-death moment that he finally let go of his fixation on winning solely with Cyber Dragon and started to prioritize victory by any means necessary.
However, it seemed that he had reverted to his old ways, indicating that the resistance and setbacks he had encountered so far were not enough to deter him.
But that was about to change.
You Xuan smiled slightly.
It was time to show him an even stronger blow and let him experience a more significant setback.
"Offer the 'Yellow Spring Frog' as a Tribute once more."
You Xuan raised his hand.
The Yellow Spring Frog was engulfed by a vortex of darkness, and a pitch-black storm erupted like an explosion from the depths of an inky-black hell, surging upward with a mighty dark current!
"Embrace the embodiment of destruction, breaking free from the chains of imprisonment and awakening from the endless darkness—
—Emperior Gauss, descend! ! !"
