"Elemental Hero Prisma?"
In Morishima's confused gaze, a warrior composed entirely of Mirror Stone appeared on Tenjo Hikari's field, shimmering with light.
Elemental Hero Prisma, LV 4, Light Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 1700.
"What kind of monster is this?" Morishima murmured to himself in confusion.
Elemental Heroes are quite a "popular" deck.
Popular enough that basically everyone recognizes the Monster Card Deck.
This deck, created with the theme of American Heroes, is not only cheap but also highly produced, plus it has various Fusion Variants, making it quite popular among children.
However, the other side of being common is "plainness."
Elemental Heroes are a very weak deck on the market.
With low monster ATK and mostly no effects, almost no one uses them in professional tournaments.
Morishima remembers that there was a Professional Duelist who used a Hero Deck and ended up facing Kaiba Seto, got defeated by the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and eventually exploded mentally, abandoning the path of a Duelist to become a paparazzi journalist.
There shouldn't be such a card among the Heroes, right?
He watched the monster warily, ready to activate his Set Card at any moment.
"Heh, before using him, I'll first use another card." Tenjo Hikari casually revealed another card from his right hand, "Normal Spell, Shaddoll Fusion."
Fusion, huh!
Morishima looked at the card.
With Tenjo Hikari's actions, behind him, countless purple lines began to spin, then formed a huge void.
"Shaddoll Fusion is a Fusion Card for Shaddoll Monsters, allowing you to send monsters from your hand and field to the Graveyard for a Fusion Summon.
But——if your opponent has a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck on their field, then Shaddoll Fusion can choose monsters from the deck for a Fusion Summon!"
"What!" Morishima's gaze instantly narrowed, "Is it actually deck fusion like Future Fusion!?"
In this world, deck fusion isn't entirely unimaginable due to Future Fusion, but Future Fusion is a Super Rare Card, and in this situation, any other "deck fusion" is a huge boost for Duelists—you get one more card, so fusion becomes naturally easier, making you stronger than others!
This is something every Duelist can understand!
"Fusion conditions are one [Shaddoll] monster and one Dark Attribute monster. I'm sending Shaddoll Falco from the deck and The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion from the deck to the Graveyard!"
"Ugh..." Although the battle hasn't started yet, Morishima faintly felt a bit disadvantaged.
"Listen to the Voice of God!
Fusion Summon!
Arrive, El Shaddoll Winda!"
The green-haired mage controlled the Flying Dragon, crashing through the wall and rushing onto the field.
El Shaddoll Winda, LV 5, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 2200.
"Due to the activation of the Spell Card, I recover 500 LP."
Morishima LP: 4500→5000.
"El Shaddoll Winda, the professor's mention of your ace and spirit..." Morishima saw the monster and it wasn't all that unfamiliar, "Possessing the power to block Special Summons, immune to opponent's effect destruction, and recycle Shaddoll Series Spell Trap Cards..."
"But!" he continued, "This monster's ability to block Special Summons affects both players, meaning after you Special Summon this monster, you can only Special Summon one monster!"
He continued, with a smile on his face: "So, a student is just a student, still a yellow, and beyond school, the world is vast!"
"By doing this, you're completely digging your own grave!"
"Hehe, senior, the world is very vast!"
"!!?" Morishima's smile paused for a moment.
"Activate Elemental Hero Prisma's effect! Once per turn, reveal a Fusion Monster Card from the Extra Deck, send one monster card described in its Fusion Material list from the deck to the Graveyard to activate.
Until the end of the turn, this card's name will be treated as the name of the monster sent to the Graveyard!"
"Eh?"
Morishima's expression suddenly changed.
"This monster can replace any Fusion Material!?"
Actually, saying it like that is a bit exaggerated, but for him, Prisma is just like that.
"I reveal Cyber Twin Dragon from the Extra Deck, send Cyber Dragon from the deck to the Graveyard! Until the end of the turn, Prisma's card name is treated as [Cyber Dragon]!"
The Cyber Dragon automatically emerged from the deck and moved into the Graveyard, and on the field, Prisma's body shone with reflections, and the silhouette of Cyber Dragon appeared on its armor.
"Cyber... Cyber Dragon!" Morishima's expression drastically changed.
"What's up with Cyber Dragon?" Dr. Union asked in confusion.
"Fusion without needing a fusion card? Combination? Heh, senior, I respect you, considering you're a Duel Academy graduate, calling you a senior! If I'm not so courteous, not respecting you, then I'd call you trash!
I send Cyber Dragon from the field and your Machine-Type monster to the Graveyard!
Come, Fusion!
Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, descend!"
With Tenjo Hikari's shout, a massive Mechanical Dragon swept over the field, collecting five or six dragon heads as it rolled and picking up mechanical debris, assimilating it into its body, finally forming a giant Mechanical Dragon made of many tires.
Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, LV 8, Dark Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK?
"Damn it, I didn't expect this..." Morishima's face darkened significantly. The professor's data did mention this monster, which can send Cyber Dragon and Machine-Type monsters on the field to the Graveyard to Special Summon a monster directly from the Extra Deck, but he didn't expect Tenjo Hikari to summon this card without even needing Cyber Dragon.
"Chimeratech Fortress Dragon's ATK is 1000 per material, two materials mean two thousand." Tierra looked at the gigantic Machine Dragon, her eyes sparkling as she spoke.
"Two thousand and twenty-two hundred, if this attack succeeds, Morishima's Life Points will be down to 800!" Dr. Union quickly calculated, feeling a bit tense.
"But, if this attack succeeds, then the opponent can only use Archfiend's Oath once next turn." Tierra remarked.
Tenjo Hikari nodded.
Although he always pursued a one-hit kill, this moment was certainly the time to prioritize reducing Life Points.
"Battle! Direct attack with Chimeratech Fortress Dragon—"
"Tch, flip Set Card, Mirror Force!!"
Morishima shouted loudly, "There's no way I'd let you deal damage that easily!"
The light cannon shot by Chimeratech Fortress Dragon was blocked by a suddenly appeared mirror, then deflected and ricocheted back onto it, and in the next moment, it exploded into fragments.
Tenjo Hikari shielded himself from the blast, then continued to shout: "Winda won't be destroyed by opponent's effects! Battle phase continues, Winda, direct attack!"
Winda raised the Magic Staff in her hand, and under her control, swung the Flying Dragon, bombarding Morishima, resulting in a violent explosion of smoke and dust.
Morishima LP: 5000→2800.
"Set a card, end turn." Tenjo Hikari said, taking out a card and setting it on the field upon seeing.
"Captain Morishima?!" Dr. Union shouted nervously.
If the captain falls, won't I be apprehended?!
He looked anxiously at the smoke, and as the smoke slowly dissipated, a silhouette gradually appeared, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Heh heh heh..." Morishima slowly walked out, electric currents all over his face and body, "My turn... Draw a card!"
With his draw, some creatures around them, which still temporarily retained signs of life, burst out in more painful wails, and the electric leakage sounds echoed, causing sorrow.
"Be careful, Tenjo Hikari, it's coming!" Tierra cautiously shouted.
