Chapter 43: The Ultimate Burst Stream of Destruction
Chapter 43: The Ultimate Burst Stream of Destruction
"At the end phase of the turn, the 'Berserk Skull Dragon' has the drawback of losing 500 attack points during each of its end phases." Fujiki explained.
【Berserk Skull Dragon, Attack: 3500 → Attack: 3000】
"Is that all?" Kaiba stood there with his arms crossed, a contemptuous look on his face.
".Huh?" Fujiki was taken aback.
He wondered if he had heard wrong.
Is that all? If so, what more do you want? Fujiki thought to himself. In one turn, I've summoned the Berserk Skull Dragon capable of sweeping the entire field, the Great Gazer with its impressive attack of six thousand, and even had the leisure to set up my back row for further insurance.
Without exaggeration, this was already an outstanding performance among modern duelists. Fujiki was quite satisfied with his own play this turn. He felt that if he hadn't managed to finish off his opponent, it was only because his opponent was exceptionally strong.
"Then it's my turn." Kaiba calmly drew a card. "Let me show you what a true power gap looks like. I activate 'Angel's Charity', drawing three cards from my deck and then discarding two cards from my hand."
Two cards were sent from Kaiba's hand to the graveyard.
"I normal summon two copies of 'Swift Musatoko' in attack position. Then, I tribute 'Evil God Token' and one 'Swift Musatoko' to tribute summon!" Kaiba raised the card in his hand, and in an instant, it seemed to release endless radiance, with a storm swirling behind it.
"If that was endless darkness, then submit to the Light Dragon and dye away the darkness—
—Level eight, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, I summon you!"
A pillar of light soared into the sky, and from the radiance emerged first the white dragon's wings, followed by the sacred white dragon itself, as if flying out from ancient times. The visualization brought with it a hurricane and endless dragon might, dominating the field the instant it appeared.
【Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Attack: 3000】
"So it's the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, as expected." Fujiki suppressed the unease in his heart. "But even if it's the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon, its attack is only three thousand, which is equal to my Berserk Skull Dragon after its attack reduction. And it's no match for the Great Gazer."
"Ignorant fool, you know nothing of the power of the Blue-Eyes." Kaiba rebuked, "Open your eyes wide and witness the absolute power of the Light Dragon, capable of destroying all!
I activate the spell card 'Burst Stream of Destruction' from my hand!"
Fujiki's eyes widened: "It's a spell card with the same name as the Blue-Eyes' attack?"
"By forfeiting the ability of 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to attack this turn, destroy all monsters your opponent controls!" Kaiba clenched his right fist, "Let everything be crushed under the power of the Blue-Eyes!"
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon opened its mouth, and endless radiance poured forth, transforming into a white storm of annihilation!
"Not so fast!" Fujiki waved his hand, "I activate my face-down trap card, 'Safe Zone'! This card lets me select one attack position monster on my field. As long as 'Safe Zone' remains on the field, the selected monster cannot be targeted by card effects or be destroyed by battle or card effects!"
He pointed to the 6000 ATK behemoth on his field.
"I use 'Safe Zone' to protect 'Great Beast-Gazer' from destruction!"
An absolute shield began to form, like an invisible force field that blessed the Great Gazer, granting it near-invincible resistance.
With an attack of six thousand and near-invincible resistance, this was the source of his confidence.
"Whoa, that's a clever move. But!"
Kaiba raised his tone even higher and played another card from his hand.
"Before your 'Safe Zone' takes effect, I activate the quick-play spell card, 'Inheritance Soul' from my hand! By tributing one effect monster on my field, I can send one effect monster on your field to the graveyard.
So, I tribute the other 'Swift Musatoko' on my field and choose your 'Great Beast-Gazer' to send to the graveyard!"
Kaiba paused and added with a cold smile: "The effect of 'Safe Zone' hasn't resolved yet, so your Great Beast-Gazer can naturally still be chosen as an effect target.
Disappear!"
A powerful energy vortex erupted from the spell card, instantly consuming Gazer. The poor Great Gazer, caught in the web of multiple card effects, seemed unable to escape its fate despite the series of clashes.
"Damn it! Then, I activate my face-down trap card!" Fujiki shouted, "Trap Card: Destruct Potion! I select one monster on my field and destroy it, then I gain LP equal to its original ATK.
So, before your 'Inheritance Soul' takes effect, I destroy 'Great Beast-Gazer'!"
Boom!
After a series of intense exchanges, the dust finally settled, and the Great Gazer perished by its owner's hand. The energy released from its destruction flowed back to its master, and Fujiki tearfully downed three large bowls to recover his life points.
Despite his monster being removed from play, he had ten thousand LP!
Can you take me down from ten thousand LP in one turn?
"I can only attack with one monster during the turn 'Inheritance Soul' is activated," Kaiba stated calmly. "But the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' cannot attack during the turn 'Burst Stream of Destruction' is used anyway.
So, I activate the spell card 'Advanced Draw,' sacrificing a Level 8 or higher monster on the field to draw two cards from my deck. I sacrifice the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' on the field to draw!"
After drawing, he glanced at the cards and immediately activated one of them.
"Spell Card 'Discount Shopping,' discard a Level 8 monster from my hand to draw two cards. Discarding another 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to draw from my deck."
Fujiki's heart began to fill with unease once more.
Sending consecutive 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons' to the graveyard, what scheme is he plotting now? No, it doesn't matter what he's planning.
He now had a substantial ten thousand Life Points. Additionally, due to the after-effect of 'Inheritance Soul,' his opponent could only attack with one monster this turn.
Take me down from ten thousand LP with a single monster?
That would be a joke!
"Quick-Play Spell – Ultimate Fusion!"
The final spell card appeared before Kaiba, accompanied by a golden light effect, as if delivering a sentence of death.
"Return the Fusion Material Monsters from my hand, field, and graveyard back to the deck to perform a Fusion Summon!"
"Fusion from hand, field, and graveyard!?" Fujiki exclaimed, "Is that even possible!?"
You Xuan, who was spectating, said, "Don't be so surprised; later on, there will even be Fusion Summons from the deck!"
"The evolution of the Blue-Eyes has long surpassed your imagination!"
Kaiba raised his large hand.
"Thus, I return the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand and the other two 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons' in the graveyard to the deck to perform an ultimate fusion! Let me show you the strongest and most ultimate dragon of all time, transcending the limits of time and space, making its appearance here and now—
—Ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon, I summon you!!!"
A dazzling light split the sky, and from the chaotic void of time and space, amidst the thunderous flashes of lightning, it descended like a divine miracle.
Its colossal body seemed capable of blotting out the sky, its scales shimmering with sacred light as if adorned with stars. Three noble dragon heads raised proudly, their wings spread wide, unleashing a tempestuous gale.
Ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Summoned!
[Ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Attack: 4500]
"This... is the Ultimate Dragon!?"
Fujiki trembled as if facing a god, his legs nearly giving out as he stared in awe.
"No, it's not the Ultimate Dragon, it's a new form that Kaiba Seto has developed over the years!?"
With his field empty, Fujiki had no choice but to face the overwhelming pressure of the Ultimate Dragon, struggling to keep his legs from giving way.
"However, you can only attack with one monster this turn. And even with the 'Ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon's' Attack of 4500, I still have ten thousand Life Points remaining."
"Hmph, as expected of a rat, your imagination is limited."
Kaiba sneered, his arrogance growing.
"The effect of the 'Ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon!' As long as I have 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' in my Fusion Deck, once per Duel, this card can attack three times during each turn!" (Anime effect)
"What did you say!?"
Fujiki plopped down on the ground, nearly scared out of his wits.
An Attack of 4500, and it can attack three times in one turn!?
What unheard-of, monstrous ability is this?
Is Kaiba Seto taking advantage of his ability to print cards and arbitrarily writing overpowered effects for his 'Blue-Eyes'!?
This is a conspiracy! An absolute conspiracy!
"Shatter! Annihilate! Bravo!"
Kaiba laughed heartily.
"Witness the ultimate power of the strongest dragon! Direct attack from the 'Ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon!'
Ultimate Burst Stream of Destruction – Triple Strike!"
The three dragon heads opened their mouths simultaneously, unleashing a heavenly bombardment of light that resembled a bursting dam. Fujiki let out a string of "Ahhhh" as he took the full brunt of the 13,500 damage, and the scene became incredibly intense.
[Fujiki, LP 10,000 → LP 0]
And so, another chapter of over three thousand Chinese characters is complete~
However, with this, the novel will have 120,000 characters. I asked the editor last week, and it seems that even if I keep winning in the PK and advance without losing, the earliest I can get on the Triple Jiang list is the week after next.
Emmmmmm
So, it seems a bit risky to keep mass-releasing chapters before the book is on the shelves. I'll see how it goes and add more later...
But for now, the reading popularity is high, and as long as the word count doesn't exceed the limit, it should be able to advance smoothly. Thanks for the support, Duelists!
