"The effect of 'Survival Realm' in the graveyard!" Loren shouted, "Dragon Tyrant and Little Horned Dragon, break!"
The Trap Card spun out from the vortex of the graveyard, and the monsters on both sides of the field were crushed into golden light spots under the pressure of an invisible force and dissipated.
"And then the effect of 'Little Horned Dragon' also triggered. When this card is sent to the graveyard by an effect, a Dinosaur-type monster of four stars or below can be Special Summoned from the card deck."
Loren spread the card deck and selected a card from it.
"I Special Summon a second 'Little Horned Dragon' from the card deck!"
[Little Horned Dragon, Defense Power 500]
"This dinosaur again?" Keihei expressed doubt.
"Then activate the Cover Card, Trap Card 'Burgess Bloodsucker: Lincholi Insect'!" Loren said, "You can return a card from either your own or the opponent's banished zone to the graveyard.
So I will return the card that was just banished from the graveyard..."
He once again revealed that Trap.
"Return Trap Card 'Survival Realm' to the graveyard!"
"What a powerful combination."
Hibiki Momiji quickly noticed the strength of this combo punch.
Retrieve 'Survival Realm' from the card deck to the graveyard, and its effect from the graveyard can not only destroy the opponent's cards but also when your own Little Horned Dragon is destroyed, retrieve any four-star dinosaur from the card deck.
Here Loren retrieved Little Horned Dragon again, and returned the banished 'Survival Realm' to the graveyard. This means the 'Survival Realm' in the graveyard is chambered again and ready for a second explosive card effect at any time.
And the second Little Horned Dragon on the field being destroyed allows another search from the card deck...
"Interruption while accumulating resources." Hibiki Midori, a teacher at Duel Academy, also said, "This Duelist is extraordinarily strong."
Loren shouted, "It's not over yet. At the moment 'Burgess Bloodsucker: Lincholi Insect' is activated, the second effect of 'Burgess Alien Insect: Mar Trifoliate Worm' in the graveyard also activates.
When a Trap Card is activated on your field while this card is in the graveyard, Mar Trifoliate Worm can be Special Summoned as an Ordinary Monster on your field."
Loren drew this card from the graveyard.
"Revive Mar Trifoliate Worm in Defense Position from the graveyard!"
The creature appearing from the graveyard is a twisted trilobite-like life form, each "leaf" covered with rough and hardy exoskeleton, with long, sharp tendrils lining its body, stretching out from the edges of its exoskeleton like twisted vines in an undersea forest.
[Burgess Alien Insect: Mar Trifoliate Worm, Defense Power 0]
"A Trap Card used as a monster, a Trap Monster, huh." Kaiba said.
Though seeing this series for the first time, Kaiba was knowledgeable enough to quickly deduce the traits of the Burgess Bloodsucker.
"Yes, this is the power that God granted me upon my rebirth from the ashes, the power for my revenge," Loren said, "My time stopped at that moment ten years ago.
Yes, it was the moment you cruelly destroyed everything of mine..."
"Activate Magic Card 'Angel's Charity.'" Kaiba interrupted mercilessly, "Draw three cards from the card deck, then discard two cards from your hand."
The President showed he only cared about cards, showing no interest in past grudges or flashbacks from questionable foes.
Once again failing at a flashback, Loren was abruptly stopped mid-sentence, as if a barrage of words had been forcibly held back, making his gaze at Kaiba even more resentful.
"Next is the Magic Card 'Price Reduction Shopping,' discard an eight-star monster in hand to draw two cards from the deck," Kaiba said, "I discard the Level 8 'Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon,' and draw two cards."
Kaiba discarded the card from his hand and drew from the card deck again.
"Then with this guy's power, wield the weapon called Whip of Complete Defeat!
Activate Ritual Magic 'Chaos Form'!"
The image of Chaos Ceremony unfurled behind him like an abyss with no end in sight.
"Chaos Form allows the Ritual Summon of a 'Chaos' Ritual Monster from your hand without tributes if 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' exists in the graveyard!" (Original effect)
This was the effect of "Chaos Form" that Kaiba first used in the theatrical version. In its physical card version, the effect was retained but modified to require the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in the graveyard to be banished from the game to substitute as a tribute.
Loren said in a deep voice, "You have 'Blue-Eyes' in the graveyard sent to the graveyard when 'Dragon Tyrant' was summoned..."
Kaiba: "Descend in the form of chaos and crush all meager barricades! Descend—
——Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon!!!"
Like a Blue-Eyes clad in armor, it descended upon this realm along with the electric flashes of lightning shooting from the abyss of chaos, domineeringly!
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon, Attack Power 4000]
"Another new Blue-Eyes..." Loren frowned.
Even if he had never seen it before, just from the aura of the dragon as it landed, he could tell it wasn't an average monster. This dragon contained astonishing energy within, suggesting it should posses corresponding degrees of powerful abilities.
But...
"But did you forget? I still have this card in my graveyard!" Loren shouted, "Activate Trap Card 'Survival Realm' in the graveyard!
Banishing this card from the game, you can destroy any card on your field or your opponent's field.
I will destroy my 'Little Horned Dragon' and your 'Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon'!"
But as he finished speaking, nothing happened.
It was as if his Duel Disc ignored his operation and refused to execute his command.
"What?" Loren was stunned, "Why!?"
"Heh heh heh...hahaha!"
Kaiba laughed, throwing his head back.
"Let me enlighten you, ignorant vermin, how feeble such underhanded tricks are against absolute power.
'Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon' cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effects!"
Loren: "!"
As expected, his intuition was right. This powerful dragon possesses extraordinary abilities even in a duel. To think it would have such strong resistance...
Kaiba only has the Chaos Extreme Dragon on the field. Since Chaos Extreme Dragon can't be targeted by effects, there are no monsters for "Survival Realm" to target, so it can't activate.
"Prepare to be crushed along with your petty grievances."
Kaiba shouted.
"Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon, attack 'Burgess Alien Insect: Mar Trifoliate Worm'!"
The swirl of energy gathered in Blue-Eyes' mouth, as it was about to unleash a burst cannon shot that pierced the heavens and earth!
"Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon's effect: when attacking a Defense Position monster, inflicts double battle damage equal to the difference between its attack power and the defense power of the monster!"
"Double damage!?" Loren's heart sank.
The spectators around the field were equally shocked.
[Burgess Alien Insect: Mar Trifoliate Worm, Defense Power 0]
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon, Attack Power 4000]
This direct hit results in a doubled damage of 8000 points, likely obliterating him to dust.
Wow, using such thunderous methods right from the first turn...
Is this the duel of Seto Kaiba?
