Chapter 798: Prism Duel
Chapter 798: Prism Duel
"Don't get too cocky, Duel King." Melo said, "Activating the effect of 'Elemental Hero Prism Knight'!
This card can be used once per turn by revealing a Fusion Monster to your opponent. You can then send a Fusion Material Monster with the same name as the Fusion Monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.
Until the end of the turn, 'Elemental Hero Prism Knight' can be treated as having the same name as that Monster!"
Melo revealed a Fusion Monster card.
"I will reveal 'Duelist Beast Caesar'! And from my Deck, I send 'Duelist Beast Gun Fighter' as Caesar's Fusion Material to the Graveyard."
Melo searched his Deck, drawing and revealing Gun Fighter before sending it to the Graveyard. At the same time, Prism Knight's arms opened, and the brilliant crystals on his body refracted colorful rays of light, reflecting the image of a Duelist Beast onto the transparent crystal on his body.
"This way, Prism Knight can be treated as 'Duelist Beast Gun Fighter' for this turn."
Melo revealed another card from his hand.
"When there is a 'Duelist Beast' on your field, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand without any conditions.
Appear, 'Slave Tiger'!"
A small tiger with a colorful outfit leaped onto his field.
[Slave Tiger, ATK 600]
Slave Tiger was one of the early cards that had a significant impact on the Duelist system. Its release greatly alleviated the restriction that Duelist Beasts could only function through battles before its arrival.
In fact, the inclusion of Prism Knight was also a part of this strategy. Prism Duelist Beasts were a popular mainstream build at that time because Prism Knight's ability allowed the summoning of any Duelist Beast from the Deck without the need for battle.
Of course, in reality, a key factor in the strength of this build was the enhancement of Prism Knight into a four-star Monster. If it had been directly translated from the anime as a five-star Monster, it would have been too cumbersome.
"The second effect of Slave Tiger," Melo said, "By offering this card as a Tribute, you can return any 'Duelist Beast' on your field to its owner's Deck.
Then, you can Special Summon any 'Duelist Beast' Monster from your Deck."
Slave Tiger roared and disappeared from the field, its body transforming into golden light particles.
"Offer Slave Tiger as a Tribute, and return 'Duelist Beast Gun Fighter' to the Deck by treating 'Elemental Hero Prism Knight' as the same Monster!"
The image of Gun Fighter flashed across the countless prisms on Prism Knight's body, and a green whirlwind seemed to envelop Prism Knight, as if he were riding the whirlwind back into Melo's Deck.
"Special Summon 'Duelist Beast Horse Fighter' from the Deck!"
True to its name, the new Duelist Beast was a horse standing upright, wearing heavy armor, and with a long, flowing mane.
[Duelist Beast Horse Fighter, ATK 1700]
"The effect of Duelist Beast Horse Fighter. When this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a 'Duelist Beast' Monster, you can Special Summon a 'Duelist Beast' Monster from your Graveyard with its effects negated."
A green whirlwind flew out from Melo's Graveyard and landed on his field. It was the crucial Duelist Beast that had just been sent to the Graveyard through Prism Knight's effect.
"Come back, Duelist Beast Gun Fighter!"
The whirlwind seemed to cut through the air with invisible blades, and the intangible wind condensed into tangible blades, forming a pair of metallic wings like a turbine.
In the midst of the storm, a bird-like Beast Swordsman clad in armor emerges.
【Beast Swordsman - Gun Fighter, ATK 1500】
"Then, return 'Beast Swordsman - Gun Fighter' and 'Duelist Beast - Horse' from the field to the Deck, and perform a Beast Fusion!"
Melo shouted.
"Ancient Avian Warrior, fused with the Beast Soul, becomes a seasoned warrior of countless battles! Descend upon this field now!"

Duelist Beast Caesar, Summon!
【Duelist Beast Caesar, ATK 2400】
"Not bad," Yugo commented, "Even with the condition that no battles can be conducted, you still managed to summon Caesar?"
"I told you, this level of restraint cannot bind the power of the Beast Swordsman."
Melo raised his voice.
"Duelist Beast Caesar's effect! Upon the successful Special Summon of this card, destroy up to two cards on the field.
I destroy your Continuous Magic 'Flame Cannon' and Continuous Trap 'Flame Wall'!"
Among them, the Flame Cannon was the Deck's core card, crucial for output. The Flame Wall, on the other hand, was an obstacle to his Beast Swordsman's battles, and thus, he deemed it the primary threat.
The Perfect Edition is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book Bar is the first to publish this novel.
Caesar's wings flapped, and countless metallic feathers rained down like a barrage. The massive metal cannon and the fiery wall guarding Yugo's field were instantly reduced to nothing by Caesar's bombardment.
"With this, your defense is shattered!" Melo shouted, "Duelist Beast Caesar's direct attack!"
The steel wings swung again, and the green storm swept towards Yugo with unstoppable force!
"Even in such an unfavorable situation, you managed to break through the lockdown to this extent, summoning your ace and launching an attack. Truly, the power of the Beast Swordsman is formidable."
However,"
Yugo's expression was a mix of a smile and a smirk.
"Then, how will you deal with the next lockdown?"
"What?"
Yugo snapped his fingers.
"Continuous Trap, 'Hypergravity Net'.
As long as this card remains on the field, neither player can attack with monsters of 4 stars or higher!"
Melo: ".
A gravity wave was released, and the powerful gravitational force instantly pinned Caesar to the ground, immobilizing him. Even the green storm he had summoned seemed unable to resist the intense gravity, dissipating into nothingness.
Melo's lips twitched.
He should have realized it sooner.
Hypergravity Net was a lockdown trap Yugo often used in the past. Since he had decided to play a self-disabling burn strategy, it was only natural to include such a lockdown trap.
"What's wrong? You finally summoned Caesar, but you're not attacking?"
Yugo asked with a smirk.
Melo huffed.
"Set a card, and my turn ends."
