"Is it over like this, Ryo?"
As Fubuki spoke, some grayish-white particles fell from him. Upon closer inspection, it was apparent that these were gray-white dust.
He drew a card, looked at it, and chuckled, "Spell Card, Pot of Greed."
He drew two cards and glanced at the cards in his hand.
"It seems like you're somewhat unlucky—activate the Spell Card, Giant Trunade!"
Tenjo Hikari watched from the side, feeling as if this duel was a chaotic dance of demons.
From the beginning until now, what on earth has been happening—
"All Spell and Trap Cards on both sides of the field return to their owners' hands!"
As he spoke, Simorgh, Bird of Divinity, frantically flapped its wings, sending the cards on the field flying back to Fubuki's hand.
Caesar silently returned his Trap Card and Cyberdark Realm to his hand.
Fubuki looked at the cards in his hand.
Trap Cards Red-Eyes' Triumph and Red-Eyes Spirit.
But that was not important.
"Activate again, Elborz, the Sacred Lands of Simorgh, then display this card from my hand—Simorgh, Bird of Divinity. This turn, the number of sacrifices required for the tribute summon of a Wind Attribute Monster is reduced by one—then, based on Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry's effect, the sacrifice required for a Wind Attribute Monster's tribute summon is reduced by one.
This way, I can summon a Wind Attribute Monster without any sacrifices!
Come forth, Simorgh, Bird of Divinity!"
The green wings slowly unfolded, enveloping Fubuki, making it much easier for the spirits around to form a protective barrier.
Simorgh, Bird of Divinity, LV 7, Wind Attribute, Winged Beast-Type, ATK 2700→3000.
"It's just like Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"And it was summoned without any sacrifices."
"So powerful, without Polymerization, Xyz, or Synchro; even a Tribute Summon can be like this!"
To pursue powerful cards, to become stronger, and to stand on the same level as people from other dimensions, many duelists seek stronger cards or summoning methods; if all else fails, even rituals are acceptable.
But Fubuki was different; he was simply using the cards he loved.
"With so many Monsters, Caesar won't be able to withstand it," Mitsuzawa Daichi's face was filled with concern.
He could hear Fubuki trying to counsel Caesar.
But with such an exaggerated offense, would it be okay?
Wouldn't it knock Caesar unconscious?
"Battle, Ryo, attack Cyber Valley with Red-Eyes Black Dragon—"
"Wait, at this moment, Cyber Valley's effect activates! When this card is selected as an attack target, I banish it to activate its effect. I draw one card from my Deck, and then the battle phase ends."
Cyber Valley's body twisted, then transformed into Cyber Barrier Dragon, blocking the attack in Fubuki's astonishment and then disappearing.
Caesar quickly drew a card.
"Survived another turn, huh? Haha..." Fubuki chuckled softly, "Set two cards, end turn—"
Caesar took a deep breath and was just about to start his turn when suddenly, Fubuki raised his right hand.
"At this moment, Simorgh, Bird of Divinity's effect activates! As long as this card is on the field, both players receive 1000 damage at each player's end phase! At this moment, the damage to each player is reduced by the number of Spell and Trap Cards they control times 500 points!"
"What?"
"Oh no—"
"Go, Simorgh, Divine Bird's Rebuke!"
The green Divine Bird flapped its wings, striking down towards Caesar.
Although it wasn't Red-Eyes Black Dragon, under darkness's damage enhancement, Caesar still felt intense pain.
Marufuji Ryo LP: 1500→500.
Caesar clutched his head as the fierce wind made him dizzy, feeling as if he might fall at any moment.
But he still struggled to stand up.
The scorching flames, the paralyzing currents, and the tearing winds.
His body was simultaneously enduring different kinds of pain.
However, instead, it made him more and more clear-headed.
"My turn, draw!" Caesar drew a card, and a series of thoughts flashed through his mind as he looked at the cards in his hand.
Not enough—
Not enough!
Mechanical shadows seemed to flash before his eyes, watching him relentlessly, without offering any help.
"I banish Cyber Jormungardr from the Graveyard—Special Summon, Cyber Eltanin!"
With a loud rumble, a gigantic Mechanical Dragon head slowly rose from the ground, and then countless Cyber Dragon heads floated like floating cannons beside it.
"This card banishes all Light Attribute Machine-Type Monsters from my Graveyard and my face-up Monsters on the field to Special Summon itself!"
Cyber Eltanin, LV 10, Light Attribute, Machine-Type, DEF?
"Then, its ATK and DEF become 500 times the number of monsters banished by this card's Special Summon."
Cyber Eltanin, DEF: 500.
"At this point, it only has 500 ATK?" Fubuki asked, puzzled.
This was another card he hadn't seen Caesar use before.
"When this card is successfully Special Summoned, send all other face-up Monsters on the field to the Graveyard!"
Oh?
Fubuki watched as the mechanical dragonhead's floating cannon-like structure slowly aligned, targeting the Monsters on his field one by one, and after being pierced by lasers, all of his Monsters vanished.
"I see, you've managed to struggle for another turn?"
"That's right, this is my struggle for victory!"
"Activate Continuous Spell Card, Cyberdark Realm, add Cyberdark Cannon from my Deck to my hand, then add Cyberdark Chimera to my hand!"
"Set one card, end turn."
