# Chapter 61: An Account Booster Really Is Different
Within the lightning vortex formed by Super Polymerization, the purple poison dragon descended once more.
"When Starving Venom Fusion Dragon is successfully Fusion Summoned using only monsters on the field, its ATK increases by the combined ATK of all Special Summoned monsters on the field."
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon ATK: 2800 → 5600 → 8400 → 14400
"Next, I activate the effect of the Trap Card, Predaplant Plan, which was sent to the Graveyard as a cost for Super Polymerization. If I successfully Fusion Summon a DARK monster, I can banish this card from my Graveyard to target and destroy one card on the field."
"I'll destroy your Xyz Monster!"
Illusory vines coiled around Caesar, seeking to strangle it.
"When D/D/D Wave King Caesar is sent from the field to the Graveyard, I can add one 'Dark Contract' card from my Deck to my hand."
"I'll add the Continuous Trap, Dark Contract with the Valkyrie, to my hand."
"Also, since D/D/D Gale King Alexander is now the only 'D/D/D' monster on the field, its ATK returns to its original value."
D/D/D Gale King Alexander ATK: 6000 → 3000
"I set two cards and end my turn," Reiji Akaba stated expressionlessly, ending his turn.
"My turn! I draw!" Yuri drew his card, an eyebrow raised.
"This card?" Yuri revealed a meaningful smile. Just then, the comms of the Obelisk Force squad captain on his Duel Disk sounded again.
"Lord Yuri, our withdrawal is complete."
"Well then, this duel ends here. Although I really wanted to see this through, this operation was already a failure. If I'm late, the Professor will be angry." After hanging up, Yuri smiled at Reiji Akaba and revealed the card he had just drawn.
"I activate the Spell Card, Violet Flash!"
As the card was activated, a dazzling light flared. Faced with the intense glare, Reiji Akaba had to shield his eyes.
When the light subsided and Reiji Akaba opened his eyes again, the giant purple dragon and Yuri had both vanished.
"He got away? Looks like next time I'll need to prepare something that can seal off dimensions," Reiji Akaba thought, then made a call to his bodyguards.
"What's the situation on the other battlefield?" Reiji Akaba asked directly once the call connected.
"The enemy has been repelled, but Yuya Sakaki has lost his senses for some unknown reason. Currently, Yūga Hōzumi is trying to stop him," the man in the black suit replied from the other end.
...
Ancient Ruins Area.
After Hope and a Mystic-Eyes monster clashed, they both vanished. Yūga Hōzumi and a red-eyed Yuya Sakaki simultaneously raised their Duel Disks.
"Duel!" ×2
"My turn!" Yuya took the first turn, glancing at Yūga Hōzumi with his crimson eyes.
"I set the Scale 1 Performapal Monkeyboard and Scale 6 Performapal Draw Lizard in the Pendulum Zones."
Behind Yuya, two pillars of light slowly rose.
Yūga Hōzumi: ...
This account booster really is on another level. At least they know Monkeyboard should be used to set the scale, not be Pendulum Summoned.
"I activate Performapal Monkeyboard's effect! Once per turn, I can add one Level 4 or lower 'Performapal' monster from my Deck to my hand."
"I add Performapal Skullcrobat Joker to my hand!"
"I activate Performapal Draw Lizard's effect!"
"If there is a 'Performapal' card other than 'Performapal Draw Lizard' in my other Pendulum Zone, I destroy this card and draw one card from my Deck."
"I Summon Performapal Skullcrobat Joker in Attack Position!"
"When Performapal Skullcrobat Joker is Normal Summoned, I can add one 'Performapal' monster, 'Magician' Pendulum Monster, or 'Odd-Eyes' monster, other than this card, from my Deck to my hand."
"I add Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer to my hand!"
"I set the Scale 8 Performapal Card Gardna."
"With this, I can summon monsters from Level 2 to 7 at the same time!"
"Pendulum Summon!"
"Level 4! Performapal U Go Golem!"
"Level 4! Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer!"
"Level 3! Performapal Draw Lizard!"
"Level 7! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
"When Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer is Special Summoned, I can target up to two cards I control, destroy them, and then add 'Performapal' monsters from my Deck to my hand, other than 'Performapal Pendulum Sorcerer,' equal to the number of cards destroyed!"
"I'll destroy Performapal Monkeyboard in my Pendulum Zone and Performapal Skullcrobat Joker in my Monster Zone!"
"I add Performapal Splashmammoth and Performapal Barrier Balloon Baku to my hand!"
"I set the Scale 4 Performapal Splashmammoth!"
"I activate Performapal U Go Golem's effect!"
"During the turn this card is Pendulum Summoned, I can perform a Fusion Summon by sending Fusion Materials, including this card, from my field to the Graveyard. The other Fusion Materials must all be Dragon monsters."
"I fuse this card with Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
"Mysterious and magnificent dual-colored eyes, and the block golem holding hidden power, now become one! Descend with a body of wind and thunder! Fusion Summon! Come forth, Level 7! Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon!"
A dragon's roar echoed from the two-toned Fusion vortex before Yuya. The field was instantly whipped into a frenzy of wind and lightning. Amidst the gales and thunderclaps, the great dragon emerged, beating its wings.
Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon DEF: 3000
"I activate Performapal Splashmammoth's effect!"
"Once per turn, when a Fusion Monster is Special Summoned to my field, I can Special Summon one face-up 'Odd-Eyes' Pendulum Monster from my Extra Deck."
"Return! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
"Turn end." The red-eyed Yuya, like a berserk dueling machine, ended his turn with a monotonous voice.
"Compared to the previous Tomato, who would just charge in recklessly knowing he had Action Cards as a fallback, this account booster is on a whole other level," Yūga Hōzumi thought to himself as he looked at his opponent's packed field, sighing inwardly.
"But can't this booster learn to be a bit more professional, like that Starfish Head? It's bad enough they don't return the account to its owner after the job is done, but they're even using the owner's account to cause trouble," Yūga Hōzumi grumbled inwardly as he drew a card.
"My turn! I draw!"
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Book of Moon!" Yūga Hōzumi revealed the card he had just drawn.
"I target one face-up monster on the field and change it to face-down Defense Position."
A soft moonlight shot out from the card in Yūga Hōzumi's hand, shining down upon the Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon on Yuya's field.
