"No way!" Ansueeru's pupils slowly contracted.
"That's right, exactly that 'No way'!" Tenjo Hikari's lips curled, "Return the banished Gem-Knight Crystal and Gem-Knight Tourmaline to the deck!"
"Fusion Summon, once again, reappear—Gem-Knight Prismaura!"
Shua!
Under the thunderous light, a figure leaped out, unchanged from beginning to end, steadfastly guarding by Tenjo Hikari's side.
"Wow!"
"Oh——"
"My goodness, all three Fusions are Prismaura!"
"This is cool——"
Serena was already jumping and waving excitedly, and her colleagues at Fengguang Company couldn't help but applaud madly.
Ansueeru's mouth twitched.
"You haven't forgotten Prismaura's effect, have you?"
Ansueeru nodded helplessly.
"Discard the Gem-Knight Fusion from your hand, destroy your Beast God King Barbaros!"
Prismaura slowly raised a long spear, aimed at Barbaros, then with force, threw it with a swooshing sound, sending Barbaros flying.
"And it's not over yet, activate the effect of Scatter Fusion on the field. When the opponent's field has a monster, send Fusion Material from the deck to the graveyard, Fusion Summon a non-Rock-Type 'Gem-Knight' Fusion Monster!"
Tenjo Hikari's lips curled; "This time, I want to fuse Gem-Knight Aquamarine."
He opened the deck, searched through it, and took out Gem-Knight Sapphire and Gem-Knight Crystal.
Ansueeru just felt his eyebrows twitching fiercely.
When Gem-Knight Aquamarine is sent from the field to the graveyard, you can return 1 card on the opponent's field to the hand.
Gem-Knight Aquamarine, LV 6, Earth Attribute, Aqua-Type, ATK 1400.
"It's almost over now—" Tenjo Hikari suddenly chuckled softly, "Activate the effect of Gem-Knight Fusion in the graveyard, banish Gem-Knight Sapphire from the graveyard, return it from the graveyard to the hand."
Tenjo Hikari gently took back Gem-Knight Fusion to his hand.
At this moment, everyone had that kind of premonition.
"No way——"
"Could it be?"
The crowd exclaimed.
Many Fusion Department students directly stood up.
Could it be that monster——
"Activate Normal Spell Card—Gem-Knight Fusion!"
Tenjo Hikari held the monsters on the field and in his hand: "Fusion conditions for Gem-Knight monsters—three!"
"Fuse the Gem-Knight Prismaura on the field, Gem-Knight Aquamarine, and the Gem-Knight Lapis in my hand!"
"Wow!"
"Oh——"
"Embrace the light of the absolute ruler—absorb the power of all comrades and fuse into your most genuine form!"
"Fusion Summon!"
"The King of Gem-Knights!"
"The absolute form of Crystal Knight—"
"LV 9, Gem-Knight Master Diamond!"
The light shines brightly, and the multicolored gems emit dazzling light.
The heroic knight slowly raised his greatsword, which had struck at injustice and inequality countless times, the pure white diamond reflecting pure light! Erupts brighter than the sun!
Gem-Knight Master Diamond, LV 9, Earth Attribute, Rock-Type, ATK 2900.
Crystal swung his sword embedded with gemstones, standing gently before Tenjo Hikari.
"Oooh!!" Judai couldn't help but jump up in excitement, "The Knight King! It's been a while!"
"It's the Knight King—" Gloria at the Hall of the Resurrected Duelist couldn't help but clench her fists in excitement when she saw the monster.
"Master Diamond... that brat Tenjo." Manjome couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Master Diamond, recalling past events.
"The Knight King... you think highly of me, don't you…" Ansueeru couldn't help but mutter two words.
"Master Diamond's ATK increases by the number of Gem-Knight monsters in the graveyard times 100 points," Tenjo Hikari said softly, "Currently, there are four cards in my graveyard: Crystal, Aquamarine, Prismaura, and Lapis."
Master Diamond, ATK: 2900→3300.
"Also, remember Aquamarine's effect, when this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, you can return one of the opponent's cards on the field to the hand. I'll choose..." Tenjo Hikari glanced again, then looked at Tierra, who pouted and silently pointed at Lei Lei with his chin.
It seems to be a card with a Spirit.
"Return Lei Lei."
The Knight King swung his greatsword, the blue gems on it emitted light, shining on Lei Lei, returning it to Ansueeru's hand.
"But that means you can't attack now." Ansueeru thought for a moment and continued.
An Entertainment Duelist can't just shut up when in danger!
"Ha—indeed, but Master Diamond's effect hasn't been activated yet!"
"Oh? Then what effect does Master Diamond have!" Ansueeru cooperatively asked.
Some spectators who hadn't heard of the Knight King found their curiosity piqued.
And those like Gloria, Grace, Manjome, who had firsthand experience with Master Diamond's effects, already understood what Tenjo Hikari was about to do.
"Gem-Knight Master Diamond's monster effect activates!" Tenjo Hikari raised his hand gently, the white diamond floated in his hand, slowly rotating, each rotation seems to shimmer with different colors, "Once per turn, banish one LV 7 or lower Gem-Knight Fusion Monster from the graveyard to activate.
This card gains the original card name and effect of the banished monster until the end of the turn!"
"In the graveyard... a LV 7 or lower Fusion Monster?"
"Card name and effect?"
"Ah——" Ansueeru exclaimed, "Prismaura!"
"Correct! Activate Master Diamond's effect!" Tenjo Hikari grinned, "Master Diamond banishes Prismaura and gains Prismaura's effect and card name!"
In the graveyard, Prismaura slowly dissipated, simultaneously, the yellow gems on Master Diamond's sword burst with a golden light, a phantom of Prismaura appeared behind Master Diamond, as if it were itself, making the same moves.
Gem-Knight Master Diamond→Gem-Knight Prismaura.
Gem-Knight Prismaura, ATK: 3300→3200.
"Oh wow!!!!"
Serena was the spectator outside who understood Tenjo Hikari's intentions the best: "Master has been using Prismaura from start to finish! So cool!"
While all the spectators were shocked and bewildered, her cheer was like a shock of thunder out of the blue!
By this time, everyone had understood Tenjo Hikari's idea!
"Then, use the effect of Gem-Knight Fusion, banish Lapis from the graveyard, return to hand."
Gem-Knight Prismaura, ATK: 3200→3100.
"Wow…"
"Prismaura's effect can still be used…"
"Oh my God, that means…"
Tenjo Hikari used various Fusion Spell Cards to summon "Gem-Knight Prismaura" and claimed victory!
"Magnificent fusion." Though there was still a Continuous Spell Card on the field, Ansueeru couldn't help but start to clap.
"Ha, thank you for the duel." Tenjo Hikari smiled.
He didn't feel that kind of annoyance when dueling Ansueeru; it was quite remarkable.
The opponent is the typical trap-centered duelist.
"You demonstrated the inclusion and transformation of fusion the other day, so today you want to showcase fusion's focus?" Ansueeru continued to ask.
"Yes indeed—I believe that as long as you believe in fusion, as long as you persist in pursuing fusion, as long as you persist in what you desire, everyone will eventually have the results they yearn for! So... no need to doubt fusion."
Some duelists who originally hesitated to use fusion due to social opinion watched as Tenjo Hikari used Prismaura again and again and summoned Prismaura through various means, and recalled how Tenjo Hikari constantly fused various Fusion Monsters with Avian and Burstinatrix, finally reigniting their passion.
Yes——
There's no need to doubt fusion!
It's never the card, but the person that's wrong!
After Ansueeru finished asking, the audience likely understood Tenjo Hikari's thoughts too, finally extending his fist and saying to Tenjo Hikari: "Then, let's go!"
"...Activate Prismaura's effect, once per turn, send one Gem-Knight card to the graveyard, destroy one face-up card on the field! Send Gem-Knight Fusion to the graveyard, destroy Messenger of Peace!"
"Then—Prismaura directly attacks the opponent!"
Master Diamond slowly spun the greatsword, and the Prismaura behind him immediately materialized, then flew at the opponent, lightly tapping Ansueeru's shoulder with a spear.
Ansueeru LP, 3000→0.
"Winner, Tenjo Hikari!"
