Tenjo Hikari looked at his hand cards.
Apart from the Dragon's Mirror drawn due to Ed's Drawhand's Special Summon, he still had a Vampire Fraulein to protect himself.
The two Set Cards depended on whether Ed cooperated or not.
If not, then only one card could be used.
Dragon's Mirror...
Now, it was time for him to deliberate.
Should he activate Dragon's Mirror, or keep it and wait for the "future."
"End my turn."
"Hah—" Ed sneered.
Dong—Dong—
It felt like a clock was striking.
"Then, pardon me, Minister. My turn, draw card!"
Ed drew a card and proceeded to play one: "Spell Card, Monster Reborn, resurrect Disk Commander from the graveyard."
The hero covered in disks revived from the graveyard.
The invincible Disk Commander!
Tenjo Hikari raised an eyebrow.
This was the genuine "Disk Commander," not the one with altered effects!
"When Disk Commander is Special Summoned from the graveyard, I draw two cards." Ed proceeded to add to his hand cards once more.
"Then... I offer Destiny Hero - Disk Commander, Destiny Hero - Denier, and Destiny Hero - Drawhand on the field as sacrifices!"
Swish—
The named three Hero Monsters on the field emitted infinite blood-red light, and then this blood light surged into columns, piercing the sky, disappearing without end.
"With three Monsters as sacrifices, this card can descend!"
"This is the ultimate hero of the Destiny Heroes, Ultimate D, Destiny Hero - Plasma!"
The sky-high blood light finally transformed into infinite blood, a terrifying blood sphere enveloped the sky, dimming the originally bright sky.
The scent of blood filled the entire place, causing some students with weaker tolerance to retch uncontrollably.
In the endless blood, a crisp crackling sound rang, followed by a figure spreading its wings, slowly descending from the sky.
Destiny Hero - Plasma, LV 8, Dark Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 1900.
"ATK 1900?"
"It requires three Monsters as sacrifices, yet only 1900?"
"But—that Monster feels quite terrifying."
Some students instinctively remarked.
Even members of the Light Society guarding on both sides with stoic expressions noticeably felt unease when this monster appeared.
Fear permeated everyone's hearts!
"Then, activate Spell Card, D - Force!" Ed's body became wrapped in a twisting white light curtain. "After this card is activated, place it on top of my Deck. As long as this card remains the top card of my Deck, I cannot draw cards."
"Huh?"
"Isn't this a self-destructive card?"
"Correspondingly, as long as D - Force exists as the top card of the Deck face up, Plasma can negate the effects of all opposing Monsters on the field!"
Dark Flare Knight, originally fearless, felt its powers suddenly drained, appearing exceedingly pale.
"Next, Plasma's Monster Effect, once per turn, targets an opponent's Monster on the field and makes that Monster its Equipment, gaining half of its ATK and the same effect!"
Dark Flare Knight didn't even have time to react before being rapidly pulled, soon merged into Plasma's body.
Plasma, ATK: 1900→3000.
"Oh no, with this, Tenjo's field is empty!"
"No worries, Tenjo Hikari still has two Set Cards that can handle this!"
"Naive!" Ed shouted, smirking coldly, "Equip Spell—Cyclone Blade! This card can be equipped to a Destiny Hero Monster; when the equipped Monster attacks, it destroys all Spell and Trap Cards on the field except this one!"
"Equip to Dangerous!"
"But that would mean Dark Flare Knight would also be destroyed—" The atmosphere was so chilling around that the students concentrated more on the duel.
"As long as all interference is destroyed, ensuring the attack goes through, it doesn't matter! Because the duel is over, there's no need to concern about ATK! Dangerous, direct attack!"
Indeed—
As long as [the attack goes through]!
"I've been waiting for this moment, Ed!" Tenjo Hikari suddenly spoke, "Open Set Card, Trap Card, Necro Fusion!"
"Banish Fusion Material from the Graveyard face down for a Fusion Summon! The summoned Monster cannot attack in that turn!"
"Graveyard Fusion?" Ed looked at the card, frowning.
Although he finally forced out Tenjo Hikari's Set Card, what could Tenjo Hikari possibly fuse from his graveyard?
"Fusion Conditions are a Fire Attribute Warrior-Type Monster and a Dragon-Type Monster!"
Dragon-Type?
Ed was momentarily confused—
Ah.
A second card sent to the graveyard by Flame Swordsrealm?
"I banish Curse of Dragon and Flame Swordsman face down from the graveyard!"
Boom—
On Tenjo Hikari's field, crimson flames blazed again, a Fire Dragon wielding a sword circled around him.
"Fusion Summon, Fighting Flame Dragon!"
Fighting Flame Dragon, LV 5, Fire Attribute, Dragon-Type, DEF 1600.
"It's not over yet. The other card you destroyed is... Waking the Dragon!"
"Tsk!" Ed remembered this card.
"When this Set Card leaves the field by an opponent's effect and is sent to the graveyard or is banished, Special Summon 1 Monster from the Extra Deck!"
"Come forth, Predaplant Chimerafflesia!"
Under the dark sky, a massive Cannibal Flower surged up from the earth, slowly revealing itself.
Predaplant Chimerafflesia, LV 7, Dark Attribute, Plant-Type, DEF 2000.
Actually, Tenjo Hikari wanted to Special Summon Phoenixman to impact Ed on a spiritual level, try calling him. However, unfortunately, Phoenixman can only be Special Summoned through Fusion Summon. Although he wanted to buy a Hero Fusion Monster like Judai's Flame Wingman that could be reborn, unfortunately, he couldn't get one.
Due to Cyclone Blade, Plasma's equipment was also destroyed, so its ATK returned to 1900 and couldn't break through Chimerafflesia's DEF.
"...Tsk."
Ed looked at the two Monsters now on the field, snorted coldly.
"Discard 1 card from hand, send Destiny Hero - Dasher to the graveyard, activate Dangerous's effect, increasing the ATK of all Destiny Heroes on the field."
"I have a total of 7 Destiny Heroes in the graveyard, so—their ATK increases by 1400 points!"
Destiny Hero - Plasma, ATK: 1900→3300.
Destiny Hero - Dangerous, ATK: 2000→3400.
He discarded two hand cards for this!
This leaves him with only one hand card!
Moreover—
It's the only card left because he can no longer draw cards!
"Destiny Hero - Dangerous attacks Chimerafflesia!"
