The monster symbolizing Manjome stands firmly on the earth, doing the exact same action as him.
"LV10!" Mitsuzawa Daichi shields his forehead with one hand as the fierce winds and thunder force him to retreat, the energy of the duel seemingly becoming tangible, compelling him to evade.
No—
He noticed the situation of his companions.
Even Caesar had no choice but to step back!
Tangible!
Under the surge of duel energy from Manjome, the power of Armed Dragon Thunder LV10 became real!
"Armed Dragon Thunder LV10's effect! Because of the monster effect of Armed Dragon, he gains the following effect upon being Special Summoned!"
Manjome raised a finger: "One: When this card reaches an Attack Power of 1, its name is treated as Armed Dragon LV10!"
Then, he clenched his fist with one hand: "Ten: When this card's Attack Power reaches 10, its control cannot be changed!"
After describing this effect, he swung his coat, smiling: "A hundred: When this card's Attack Power reaches 100, it cannot be destroyed by battle!"
"And then—" he clapped his fist into his palm in front: "A thousand: When this card's Attack Power reaches 1000! Once per opponent's turn, by sending one Hand Card to the Graveyard, target one card on the field other than this card. Destroy that card and increase this card's Attack Power by 1000!"
"Finally..." Manjome gently tousled his hair: "Ten thousand: When this card's Attack Power exceeds 10000, once per turn, destroy all other cards on the field!"
"This is… my new ace, my new soul as Manjome Thunder! Hahaha!"
After showing off, Manjome crossed his arms in front of him, laughing wildly, and Armed Dragon LV10 seemed to imitate him, crossing its arms on its chest, summoning countless bolts of lightning.
He laughed for a long time until the lightning dissipated, and when his companions looked at him expressionlessly, he quickly coughed and continued the duel: "The effect of Armed Dragon Thunder LV5, when this card is sent to the Graveyard by the effect of a Dragon-Type monster, add one Armed Dragon monster of LV5 or higher from the Deck to your Hand Card. The second Armed Dragon Thunder LV7."
"That's a lot, Thunder, where did you get so many?" Mitsuzawa couldn't help but ask from the side.
LV monsters are Super Rare Cards after all.
A set of Thunder's LV monsters is already very terrifying, yet Manjome obtained two sets?
Hearing Mitsuzawa Daichi's question, Manjome was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Armed Dragon LV10, and LV10 roared, prompting him to laugh once more: "Three cards, six cards, that's not enough for ten thousand."
Huh?
What is that supposed to mean?
The surrounding companions exchanged glances.
"Set two cards, your turn, Tenjo."
"Two strikes again." Tenjo Hikari drew a card, looking at what he had drawn.
Two strikes per turn, which was more troublesome than when dueling against Caesar, as one Shaddoll Schism didn't completely block it, resulting in a situation of six Hand Cards against two strikes.
However, the good news was that the card drawn was quite good.
"Normal Summon this, haha, how did it go again—it's me."
"Huh?"
Tenjo Hikari casually placed a card on the Duel Disk: "Keeper of Dragon Magic."
A masked monster, bearing a strong resemblance to Tenjo Hikari and wearing the Chief's uniform, reappeared on the field.
Keeper of Dragon Magic, Level 4, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, Attack Power 1800.
Manjome furrowed his brow.
The difference between destruction and negation is evident here. If Manjome was using Chimeratech Fortress Dragon now, no matter what Tenjo Hikari had in his hand, he would undoubtedly activate Chimeratech Fortress Dragon's effect to negate and destroy Keeper of Dragon Magic's effect.
"Send the Fusion Substitute from the Hand Card to the Graveyard and activate Keeper of Dragon Magic's effect. Add a Normal Spell Card with 'Fusion' in its name from the Deck to the Hand Card."
"Fusion Deployment is probably unusable, and for Fusion Armament, there's likely only one..." Manjome recalled, slowly exhaling.
If that's the case, it should be fine...
He couldn't think of anything that could—
He suddenly paused, eyes widening.
"Thunder, the possibilities of Fusion are endless."
Tenjo Hikari stretched out his hand, and in the next moment, a wall of Spell Cards appeared in data form in front of him.
Tenjo Hikari casually swiped, and the data was flung like an app window, reaching the bottom, at which point he saw the card he wanted.
"The one I choose is the Normal Spell Card, Instant Fusion." He gently tapped the card image, and in the next second, the data began to solidify, gradually turning into a real card.
Tenjo Hikari took Instant Fusion into his hand but did not hurry to use it. Instead, he announced, "Now, activate Keeper of Dragon Magic's second effect!"
"Huh?" People exchanged glances.
"The second effect..." Manjome furrowed his brow.
Because that card was recently made by Mr. Pegasus and given to Tenjo Hikari, no one knew its exact effect. The fact that Keeper of Dragon Magic could search a Normal Spell Card with 'Fusion' in its name was only revealed when Tenjo Hikari dueled Caesar earlier.
And now...
"By showing a Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck to your opponent, you can activate this effect. Special Summon one face-down Fusion Material Monster with the same name as that in your Graveyard!"
Tenjo Hikari opened the Extra Deck, and a card flew out from it, revealed on the field.
"It's it again!"
"Haha, showing it again."
"As expected—"
Manjome sighed deeply.
He knew his defense this turn had failed again.
"Reveal Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, face-down position Special Summon Monster!"
