"End phase of the turn, 'Furious Death Dragon' has a side effect, its attack power must decrease by 500 points at the end of its own phase," Fujimoto said.
[Furious Death Dragon, Attack Power 3500→Attack Power 3000]
"Is that all?"
Kaiba still stood there with arms crossed, showing a disdainful expression.
"...Huh?" Fujimoto was taken aback.
He wondered if he had misheard.
To this extent? What else do you want?
He summoned the Furious Death Dragon capable of sweeping the entire field in one turn, had a Great Magical Beast with an attack power of six thousand, and even had time to arrange further insurance in the backfield.
To say he was at the top level among contemporary duelists is no exaggeration, and he was very satisfied with his performance this turn. He felt the failure to succeed in the end was simply because his opponent was too resilient.
"Then it's my turn." Kaiba calmly drew a card, "Let me show you what the real difference in power means.
First, activate 'Angel's Charity,' draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from the hand."
Two cards were sent to the graveyard from Kaiba's duel disc.
"Flip summon two Swift Flying Squirrels, then use the 'Evil God Derivative' and one 'Swift Flying Squirrel' on the field as sacrifices for an upper-level summon!"
Kaiba raised the card in his hand, and it instantly seemed to release endless brilliance, while a storm swept behind him.
"If that's boundless darkness, then let it submit to the Light Dragon and fill the darkness—
—Level eight, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, summon!"
The light pillar shot straight into the sky, and from the brilliance first emerged the wings of the White Dragon, then the sacred White Dragon seemed to fly out from ancient times. The visualization brought hurricane-level Dragon Aura, and upon its descent, it seemed to dominate the field.
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"So it finally appears, Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Fujimoto suppressed his inner anxiety, "But even the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon only has an attack power of three thousand, equal to my reduced attack power Furious Death Dragon. It can't be compared to the Great Magical Beast..."
"Ignorant frog in the well, you know nothing of Blue-Eyes' power," Kaiba shouted, "Then open your eyes wide and witness the absolute power of the Light Dragon that annihilates everything!
Activate the Magic Card 'Destructive Bursting Gale Bullet' from the hand!"
Fujimoto's eyelid twitched: "A magic attack with the same name as Blue-Eyes?"
"By declaring my 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' unable to attack this turn, I can destroy all monsters on the opponent's field!" Kaiba clenched his right fist fiercely, "Get smashed under the power of Blue-Eyes!"
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon opened its mouth, and endless radiance spewed from it, transforming into a white storm that annihilates everything!
"Not that easy!" Fujimoto swung his hand, "Open cover card, Trap Card 'Safe Zone'!
This card allows me to select one attack-position monster on my field. As long as 'Safe Zone' exists on the field, the selected monster cannot be targeted by the opponent's card effects, nor can it be destroyed by battle or card effects!"
He pointed to the six-thousand attack big monster on his field.
"I use 'Safe Zone' to protect the 'Great Magical Beast·Gazet' on the field from being destroyed!"
The absolutely safe shield began to form on the field, like an invisible force-field barrier bestowed upon the Great Magical Beast, granting it almost invincible resistance.
Six thousand attack power with almost invincible resistance, this was the source of his confidence.
"Oh, good thinking. However!"
Kaiba raised his voice a few pitches higher, playing out another card from his hand.
"Before your 'Safe Zone' takes effect, activate the Speed Attack Magic 'Inheritance Soul' from the hand!
Sacrifice one effect monster on my field, and send one effect monster on the opponent's field to the graveyard.
Therefore, I sacrifice the remaining Swift Flying Squirrel on the field, selecting your 'Great Magical Beast·Gazet' to send it to the graveyard!"
After a pause, he smirked and added, "'Safe Zone's effect hasn't taken effect yet, so your Great Magical Beast can still be chosen as an effect target.
Disappear for me."
Powerful energy swirled out from the card, swallowing Gazet in an instant. The poor Great Magical Beast was trapped in a state of multiple card effects, and after a series of confrontations, it ultimately seemed difficult to escape death.
"Damn it... Then activate cover card!" Fujimoto shouted, "Trap Card—Destructive Medicine! Destroy one monster on my field, and I'll restore that monster's attack power as LP to myself.
Therefore, I am going to destroy 'Great Magical Beast·Gazet' before your 'Inheritance Soul' takes effect!"
Boom!
A series of confrontations finally settled, and the Great Magical Beast still died at the hands of its master. The energy after its explosion transformed into nourishment, flowing into the master's body, and Fujimoto gulped down three large bowls with tears, fiercely regaining some LP.
[Fujimoto, LP 4000→LP 10000]
"Now my Life Points have reached ten thousand!" Fujimoto expanded again.
Although the big monster was still resolved, ten thousand LP!
You think you can kill me with ten thousand life points?
"On the turn 'Inheritance Soul' is activated, I can only attack with one monster," Kaiba said calmly, "But on the turn 'Bursting Gale Bullet' is used, Blue-Eyes White Dragon cannot attack anyway.
Therefore, I now activate the Magic Card 'Upper-Level Draw'. By sacrificing a Level 8 or higher monster on the field, I can draw two cards from my deck. I will sacrifice 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the field to draw cards from the deck!"
After drawing, he only gave them a glance and immediately activated one of them.
"Magic Card 'Price Reduction Shopping'. Discard a Level 8 monster from my hand to draw two cards. I'll discard another 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to draw from the deck."
Fujimoto began feeling uneasy once again.
Continuously sending Blue-Eyes White Dragons to the graveyard, what's he planning to do this time?
No, it doesn't matter what he's planning.
He currently has a full ten thousand life points. Moreover, as a side effect of "Inheritance Soul," his opponent can only attack with one monster this turn.
Using one monster to penetrate my ten thousand life points?
Isn't that just a joke?
"Speed Attack Magic - Ultimate Fusion!"
With golden special effects appearing in front of Kaiba, the last Magic Card surfaced as if it was declaring a death sentence.
"Return the fusion material monsters from your hand, field, and graveyard to the deck to perform a Fusion Summon!"
"Fusing from hand, field, and graveyard!?" Fujimoto was shocked, "Can you even fuse like this?"
The audience, including Yugen, thought to themselves, you are too easily surprised, later they will even fuse from the deck...
"The evolution of Blue-Eyes has long surpassed your imagination!"
Kaiba raised his hand high.
"Therefore, I will fuse the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand with the other two 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons' in the graveyard for the ultimate fusion!
Allow me to show you the strongest, the most ultimate dragon in history, transcending the boundaries of time and space, now descending here—
——True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, summon!!!"
The sky split open with radiant light, descending from the temporal chaos, that brilliance encompassed by thunder and lightning, like a divine miracle.
Its colossal body capable of overshadowing the sun and moon, scales reflecting sacred luminescence, as if inlaid with stars. Three dragon heads raised majestically, wings spread as if stirring a tempest.
True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, summon!
[True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, Attack Power: 4500]
"Is this... the Ultimate Dragon?"
Facing it was like facing a god, even Fujimoto's legs trembled as he stared in a daze.
"No, this isn't just the Ultimate Dragon, is it... Seto Kaiba's new form developed over the years!?"
Fujimoto's field was as clear as a blank sheet of paper. He had no choice but to face the pressure of the Ultimate Dragon God, while struggling to control his increasingly disobedient legs.
"However, this turn you can only attack with one monster. Even if 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon' has 4500 attack power, I still have a full ten thousand life points..."
"Heh, you lowlife can only reach this level with your imagination." Kaiba sneered, his voice even more arrogant.
"The effect of True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon! When 'Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon' exists in your fusion card deck, once per duel, this card can attack three times in one turn!" (Animation Effect)
"What did you say!?"
Fujimoto fell to the ground, nearly wetting himself from fear.
Attack Power of 4500... and it can attack three times in one turn?
What kind of unheard-of monstrous ability is this?
Could it be that Seto Kaiba just writes whatever outrageous effects he wants for his Blue-Eyes since he can print cards!?
It's definitely rigged! Absolutely rigged!
"Smash! Shatter! Massive cheer!"
Kaiba laughed heartily.
"Feel the ultimate power of the strongest Dragon Race! True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon's direct attack!
The ultimate Bursting Gale Bullet—Three Strikes!"
The three dragon heads opened their mouths simultaneously, unleashing a torrent of light like a bursting dam. Fujimoto let out a long series of screams of "Ahhhh," taking a whopping thirteen thousand five hundred points of damage at once, leaving the scene in utter devastation...
[Fujimoto, LP 10000→LP 0]
