A colossal steel body emerged on the field, with electric current streaming across half of the area. Metal creaked, parts interlocked, and the silver-white steel dragon raised its two heads, spewing dazzling golden electric light as it roared.
Cyber Twin Dragon, Fusion Summon!
[Cyber Twin Dragon, ATK 2800]
"Battle Phase! Use Cyber Twin Dragon to attack 'The Six Samurai - Yaichi'!"
The dragon opened both mouths simultaneously, brewing lightning and flames within. The light and flame from its right mouth spewed out first, with the projection simulating high-temperature air distortion effects, seemingly igniting everything in its path.
The samurai holding a bow and arrow stood powerless against this modern high-tech firepower. The armor was instantly incinerated, and his body turned to ashes under the fire's erosion.
[Youyu, LP 3600 → LP 2100]
"It's not over! Samejima said, "Cyber Twin Dragon's special effect allows it to attack twice in one turn! Attack again, this time striking 'Grandmaster of the Six Samurai'!"
The dragon's second mouth opened, the raging flame and electric current swept dominantly, locking straight onto the master samurai and his steed.
Seeing no escape, the master samurai leapt, lightly jumping onto the horse's back and deftly evading the attack. However, the black horse beneath him couldn't be spared and immediately vanished into smoke under the dragon's fiery breath.
[Youyu, LP 2100 → LP 1600]
"When the equipped monster is destroyed, 'Dark Steed' can be destroyed as a substitute," Youyu said. "However, the Grandmaster's attack power returns to its original state after losing its equipment."
[Grandmaster of the Six Samurai, ATK 2300 → ATK 2100]
Master Samejima nodded slightly.
Managed to withstand the twin attack of Cyber Twin Dragon?
He had no doubt that Youyu could immediately rally and counterattack next turn. Hence, he slowly drew a card, deciding to be cautious for now.
"Set a card, turn over!"
"My turn, draw a card!" Youyu said, "From my hand, I activate the Magic Card - Shien's Smoke Signal! Add a Level 3 or lower Six Samurai from the deck to hand."
Youyu opened his deck and chose one card from it.
"The card I add to my hand is 'The Six Samurai - Kamon'." After displaying it, he quickly placed it onto the Duel Disc, "Attack position Summon 'The Six Samurai - Kamon'!"
The character appearing this time has a different drawing style from the colorful armored samurai before. This time it's a female, wrapped in a white headscarf, dressed like a monk, but holding a dagger in her hand in stark contrast, with a sinister gaze as if ready to take down anyone she disliked.
[The Six Samurai - Kamon, ATK 1600]
"And now, this card—that commands all samurai, unbeaten in battles across all lands—the commander of the Six Samurai——
——Great Shogun Shien, Summon!"
Bloody mist swept, raising scarlet storms on the field! The body in red armor emerged from the blood mist, its scarlet eyes casting a murderous glow as if harboring a hidden and unyielding steel blade.
Heavy combat boots thudded on the ground, a sharp sword drawn from its dark red sheath, trailing silver glimmer, leaving transparent arcs in the air as if establishing an invisible dominion on one's half of the field.
Great Shogun Shien, Summon!
[Great Shogun Shien, ATK 2500]
"Great General... Shien? Such a formidable monster." Samejima muttered, "And it's Level 7, yet can be summoned directly..."
"Great Shogun Shien can be Special Summoned from hand when two or more Six Samurai exist on the field.
Then it's The Six Samurai - Kamon's effect activation! When other Six Samurai exist on the field, one Six Samurai monster on the field can be used as a sacrifice to destroy one opponent's monster!"
Youyu pointed toward the murderous female monk.
"I use The Six Samurai - Kamon as a sacrifice to destroy Cyber Twin Dragon!"
Master Samejima was shocked: "Being able to use oneself as a sacrifice!?"
Before the words finished, the female monk had vanished from Youyu's field. Upon realization, she had stealthily appeared behind Cyber Twin Dragon without a trace.
Such ghostly movements and skilled techniques were unimaginable for a monk.
The sharp dagger penetrated Cyber Dragon's sturdy metal shell, slicing open its internal wiring. The colossal steel two-headed dragon shrieked sharply, and with a boom, it exploded into fragments along with Kamon.
"Ah!"
The observing youths couldn't help but reveal expressions of amazement.
"Cyber Twin Dragon... was defeated in an instant!"
"Battle!" Youyu shouted, "Great Shogun Shien, direct attack!"
The General solemnly drew his sword, the long sword leaving clear dark red trails in the air, cutting mightily with heaviness as if wielding thousand pounds, aiming directly at the opponent's head!
The remaining Great Shogun Shien and Grandmaster on Youyu's field had a combined attack power of 4600. If the attack goes through, the battle would end this turn!
"Instantly defeating Cyber Twin Dragon and delivering a finishing blow... truly powerful." Master Samejima's gaze sharpened, "But I initiated this challenge bearing appropriate resolve!
Activate Set Card - Iron Will! Pay half the Life Points, turning all battle damage to 0 this turn and forcibly ending the Battle Phase!" (Anime Card)
[Samejima, LP 3600 → LP 1800]
With the Life Points payment, a translucent shield enveloped Samejima like a bubble protecting him inside. Great Shogun Shien's aggressive cut struck the shield fiercely, with dark red impacts flowing like water yet failing to break past the defense.
Shien snorted, sheathed his sword, and turned back to Youyu's front.
"Parried the attack then... I'll set a card and end the turn."
Master Samejima exhaled deeply.
Finally made it through.
However, even though returned to his turn, instead felt... the pressure seemed heavier.
Though expected the duel against the Duel King wasn't easy, the actual duel pressure was greater than anticipated. Moreover, Youyu continuously conveyed a sense of relaxed casualness as if he hadn't taken the duel fully seriously.
Nothing to feel dissatisfied about, after all, he's the Duel King rumored to have defeated the Evil God and saved the world recently, representing the Duel World's true pinnacle.
Nonetheless... he won't back down!
At least, not before showcasing the brilliance of Cyber Style before his students!
"My turn, draw card!"
Master Samejima drew a card, and upon seeing it, his eyes were filled with radiance.
Here it comes!
This is the card of ultimate trust, answering him in crucial moments!
Youyu steadied his expression.
Is it coming?
The leader of Cyber Style's group, formed by three Cyber Dragons fused as Cyber End Dragon?
"Activate Magic Card - Overload Fusion!" Master Samejima shouted, triggering the Magic Card. "Remove Fusion Materials from field and graveyard from the game to summon a Machine-Type Dark Attribute Fusion Monster!
I remove Proto-Cyber Dragon from the graveyard, along with three Cyber Dragons and Cyber Twin Dragon from the game! Using five Machine-Type monsters for fusion——
——Fusion Summon! Chimeratech Overdragon!!!"
