Chapter 802: The Volcano's King
Chapter 802: The Volcano's King
"Blind Duel's effect, after the battle, Sword Beast Caesar returns to the deck!"
Caesar, who had just made his debut and only landed one punch, instantly transformed into a golden light and flew back into Melo's deck. However, even though Caesar had left the field and disappeared, his ghostly image remained on the field.
Blind Duel's arms trembled, and the phantom immediately overlapped onto him, as if a ghost had possessed him. Blind Duel's momentum surged.
"Then, Blind Duel's attack power will increase by the attack power of Caesar, who returned to the deck!"
[Beast Swordsman Blind Duel, Attack 1000 → Attack 3400]
Blind Duel, although it was released as an actual card after the broadcast of Arc-V, its effect was significantly weakened. The effects that allowed Blind Duel to special summon Sword Beasts from the deck and gain attack power from its companions were all removed.
"With Caesar's power, Blind Duel has surpassed the Volcano Demon!" Melo declared, "Beast Swordsman Blind Duel, attack the 'Volcano Demon'!"
Caesar's phantom overlapped onto Blind Duel, and the latter's momentum soared. With a slash of his sword, as he struck down, it was as if Caesar's countless steel feathers were shooting out, covering the sky.
The Volcano Demon was instantly shredded, letting out a muffled groan. Blind Duel's sword blade swiftly slashed, and with a mighty strike, a huge fireball exploded from its face.
However, as the flames dissipated, the smoke soon revealed the demon's head, still intact, and its lava-like body.
"What?" Melo frowned.
You Xuan revealed a monster card.
"Among the cards sent to the graveyard by the Continuous Spell 'Volcano Wall,' there's this one." You Xuan explained, "Sacrificial Chestnut Ball. When one of your monsters is destroyed in battle, you can banish this card from the graveyard as a replacement."
The fluffy little ball floated beside him like a ghost, chirping proudly.
"Kuri kuri!"
Melo let out a low hum.
"But battle damage still needs to be calculated."
[You Xuan, LP 2500 → LP 2100]
Even with this, Melo felt slightly dissatisfied that he couldn't deal any damage. Nevertheless, this turn successfully initiated the first battle of this duel, and his Beast Swordsman could finally start to function.
"The effect of Beast Swordsman Blind Duel!" Melo announced, "After Blind Duel has battled, at the end of the Battle Phase, return this card to the Fusion Deck. Special Summon any two 'Beast Swordsman' cards from your deck!"
Melo's Beast Swordsman, which had just finished battling, flew back into the deck, split into two, and transformed into two beams of light, each returning to his field separately.
"First, 'Beast Swordsman Fin Battle'!"
A vortex of water currents swirled, transforming into the form of a fish-type Beast Swordsman with thick lips, and behind it, two turbines spun at high speed, shooting out ultra-high-pressure water columns.
[Beast Swordsman Fin Battle, Defense 400]
"The effect of Beast Swordsman Fin Battle, when this card is successfully special summoned by a Beast Swordsman's effect, destroy one face-up monster on the field."
Melo raised his arm and shouted, "Destroy the Volcano Demon here!"
The high-pressure water column shot out, and even the seemingly unquenchable flames on the Volcano Demon seemed to dim under the water column's pressure. The demon roared in anger, but in the end, it was pierced by the water column, exploding with a loud bang and dispersing into a large cloud of steam.
You Xuan raised his arm to block the impact and said calmly, "As expected of a Beast Swordsman, even in such a disadvantageous situation, it can still attack to this extent."
"It's not over yet." Melo said in a deep voice, "The other Beast Swordsman I will special summon is 'Beast Swordsman Gun Fighter'!"
Another green storm appeared, and the Beast Swordsman, riding the whirlwind, spread its wings and flew back onto the field.
It was Caesar's designated Fusion Material, the key monster of the Beast Swordsman, Gun Fighter.
【Beast Swordsman·Gun Fighter, Defense Power 800】
"When Gun Fighter is successfully Special Summoned by the effect of a Beast Swordsman, select one Spell or Trap Card on the field and destroy it!"
Melo coldly glanced at You Xuan's back row.
"That annoying Continuous Spell, 'Volcano Wall,' should also disappear."
Gun Fighter's twin-winged turbines spun, and a green high-pressure storm blasted through the air. You Xuan's last back row card was torn apart, shredded into pieces by Gun Fighter's wings.
With this, all of You Xuan's back row cards vanished into thin air, including the Volcanic Demon, the ace monster of the Volcanic archetype, which sadly left the field. The Volcanic formation on the field was already half-disassembled.
You Xuan clapped his hands.
"To be able to do this under the circumstances of an attack lockdown is commendable. Well done, indeed." You Xuan smiled, "Oh dear, it seems the pressure is now on me. Not only did you blow away my entire field in one go, but you also preserved the ability to do it again next turn."
Melo knew that as long as Gun Fighter was on the field, Caesar would undoubtedly make an appearance again next turn and sweep the field clean with another wave of attacks.
Furthermore, there was the Continuous Trap "Duel Beast's Battle Scar" in the back row, which granted invincibility to all Beast Swordsman monsters, preventing them from being destroyed in battle. And because they were in Defense Position, the side effect of "Double Battle Damage" was almost negligible, so attacking recklessly would only trigger the Beast Swordsman's monster effect, providing more resources to the opponent.
"It seems you've realized this, good." Melo sneered, "I told you, you never stood a chance against my Beast Swordsman from the start. I will not lose again, not to anyone, especially not to self-proclaimed geniuses like you."

"I don't think I'm a self-proclaimed genius. I've always considered myself ordinary."
You Xuan sighed.
"Then it's my turn, draw!"
"Activate the Spell 'Angel's Grace,' draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from your hand."
You Xuan drew a card and looked at his hand, gently closing his eyes.
Then, as if making a significant decision, he looked at Melo with utmost seriousness.
"Your Beast Swordsman is indeed powerful, I have to admit. It seems this level of flame is not enough to defeat your Beast Swordsman, so I have no choice but to use the true ace of this deck."
Melo was startled.
The true ace of the Volcanic archetype. As expected, this guy hadn't been serious yet?
But he quickly regained his composure.
It didn't matter. No matter what kind of power it was, there was nothing he couldn't handle, nothing his Beast Swordsman couldn't deal with.
Thinking of this, his confidence seemed to grow.
"Is that so? Then show me your trump card right now." Melo commanded, "Come on, give it your all! Only a worthy opponent is worth defeating!"
"Alright, then I'll grant your wish—"
Melo held his breath as he watched You Xuan raise the card in his hand.
Come on!
Bring out your strongest monster, and my Beast Swordsman will crush it head-on!
"I offer your 'Beast Swordsman·Gun Fighter' and 'Beast Swordsman·Fin Battle' as tributes! Special Summon in your field!
Awakening from the depths of the molten abyss, the power of destruction and rebirth—
—The Volcanic King, Lava God!"
Melo: ". . ."
