It reluctantly placed the scroll in its hand onto the field, then said: "At the end of the turn, the Spell Cards in my Graveyard will activate their effects. Aside from any Spell Card that hasn't been activated this turn, they can return to my Hand Card if Witchcrafter monsters are present on my field while Witchcrafter's Alley remains in the Graveyard. It can be directly placed in the Spell and Trap Zone."
It thus recovered a large number of spells, allowing the surrounding crystals to once again reflect the scenery of the alley.
"My turn, Draw—" Tenjo Hikari glanced at his Hand Card, "First, activate the effects of Fusion Substitute and Metalfoes Fusion in the Graveyard, to return Frightfur Tiger and draw a card. Return to the Deck, shuffle, and draw a card."
Solitary fusion, resolving the Tailor, and able to draw a card.
It truly can be considered as "Magic."
Sanderion nodded in his heart.
However, crossing its field isn't that simple.
Once per turn, I can negate all effects of the opponent's field.
And the alley ensures that each monster on its field won't be destroyed once, and even if Hikari uses effects that destroy both magic and monster simultaneously, due to the principle of Magic's judgment, only the alley will be destroyed.
Lastly, although due to surprise, the Tailor ran too fast and didn't have time to use the effect of Goddess Aruru, next turn, I can still use Goddess Aruru for protection, or use Goddess Aruru in my Hand Card to defend against attacks, even removing Tenjo Hikari's field.
With Goddess Aruru in my Hand Card, when my Spellcaster-Type Monsters on the field are targeted or selected as an attack target, I can activate it targeting a card on the opponent's field or a magic card in my Graveyard. This card Special Summons, and that card returns to its owner's hand.
It's an all-around defense!
"I flip the Squid."
The gigantic, sky-covering squid flipped over.
"The effect of Hook Squid, once per turn, targets 1 monster on the opponent's field and sends it to the Graveyard. This turn, this card cannot attack directly."
"I send the scroll on the field to the Graveyard, nullifying all effects of your field's monsters."
Boom—
Carefully asking Tierra some magic knowledge, feeling like a treasured possession, the Tailor turned around, already back at the Witchcrafter Workshop.
"Haine~ still in the duel, you know~" Sanderion couldn't help calling out a name.
The Tailor was startled and quickly hid to the side.
Everything's good now.
The next turn, I'll revive the Tailor, and with the massive resources recovered, winning the duel won't be a problem.
Played very well, indeed a very outstanding duelist, the understanding and "innovation" of fusion in the duel amazed even it.
No wonder Alester appreciated this child so much.
Heh heh heh, but, though you're excellent, though you're powerful, even if my mind wasn't in the right place in the first round, even if I'm extremely tired, I'm not that easy to defeat—I am one of the Three Sages! Three Sages! But since you've performed so many novel, innovative, and amazing fusions, I'll let this certification pass this time, after all, I did use "Great Sage Sanderion" and "Verre Magic," which theoretically shouldn't be used in trial… Hmm, just like that, after all, Crowley and others don't know, heh heh~
Yet—Tenjo Hikari wanted to go further!
"Activate Frightfur Patchwork, add Scissors and Polymerization from the Deck to Hand Card."
Activate Fusion, fuse Scissors and Fluffal Owl, Fusion Summon Frightfur Wolf."
"Awoo~"
A toy wolf appeared on the field.
Frightfur Wolf, LV 6, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2000.
Frightfur Wolf? Wasn't it supposed to be Frightfur Tiger?
But, what's the point of this?
"Then—" Tenjo Hikari looked at Hook Squid, the squid nonchalantly nodded.
Being able to breathe air normally, to come out for a spin, was already quite hard-earned, but the duel, must be taken seriously—
Tenjo Hikari then looked at Marinite, and Marinite slapped its chest, expressing pride.
"Alright! Then, use Marinite Alchemist on the field and Hook Squid as tributes to liberate!"
What?
Everyone was stunned.
"Tribute Summon, Dark Magician!"
"Haa!"
A red, supreme magician made a dazzling entrance!
Dark Magician, LV 7, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 2500.
Dark Magician?
A Normal Summon?
Sanderion was dumbfounded.
"Then, Fusion Spell—The Eye of Timaeus!"
This is?!
Legendary Dragon?
How many surprises does this kid have?!
Sanderion completely understood now why Tenjo Hikari had such high popularity, had so many Spirits liking him, and even got praise from Alester.
"Fuse 1 Dark Magician on the field into a Fusion Monster using 'Dark Magician' as Fusion Material.
I Fusion Summon, Master of Chaos!"
The warrior of chaos, once again brandishing the shield sword, descended onto the field.
"When Master of Chaos successfully Fusion Summons, target 1 Light or Dark Attribute monster in your Graveyard and activate. Special Summon that monster."
"Magnum—"
The horned fusion Archfiend appeared once more.
Starting with fusion, ending with fusion?
Sanderion clapped both hands.
Magnificent—
Moreover, Tenjo Hikari also placed the fusion in the Graveyard back into the Deck and drew another card, opening it to find a Summoning Magic!!
As one of the "top" magicians, one of the supreme magicians, it certainly recognized [Master of Chaos].
Tribute 1 Light and 1 Dark monster each, then banish all monsters on the opponent's field.
This was exactly its Hand Card, a scenario where none of the cards on the field could handle!
Tenjo Hikari definitely didn't come unprepared for a duel; on the contrary, he expected this scenario to appear, which is why he used this tactic, working step by step to banish its cards!
So that's it, liberated Water and Fire Attributes, reserved Dark Attribute, preparing already for the "Light Attribute"—
Fusion Additional, opponent's turn Hand Card Fusion, Fusion Cycle, Solo Fusion, mutual Graveyard Fusion, and most importantly, faith in fusion… truly beautiful.
Ah ah ah…
She yawned.
Using Summoning Magic to banish Alester and a monster in the Graveyard, fusing an Invoked, whichever one would be enough to reduce its Life Points to zero, as it had no means to absorb damage. Even if not done this way, returning Summoning Magic in the Graveyard to the Deck can still recover the banished Alester, at which point, increasing Master of Chaos's Attack Power by 1000 with Alester, remains indefensible.
Lost, couldn't find excuses for not being serious in the first round.
"One soul guides light, one soul guides darkness—Master of Chaos's effect, tributes 1 Light Attribute and 1 Dark Attribute monster on the field, banishing all monsters on opponent's field!" As it was thinking, Tenjo Hikari completed the action it imagined. Familiar, classic, yet full of new and unprecedented combinations!
Swish—
The world seemed like a comic book, split in two, on the left was Tenjo Hikari and others, and on the right were the glass witches, paper-cut under, and Gemstone Witch.
"Then, Master of Chaos directly attacks the opponent!" Tenjo Hikari directly discarded Alester, retrieved with Summoning Magic, raising Master of Chaos's ATK to 4000!
With a light body leap, wielding several swords on the comic paper, as the comic paper shattered, the crystal beside Sanderion also shattered with corresponding scars, nearly instantly, the glass sofa beneath it broke, and it fell right off, landing with a thud.
Sanderion, LP: 3300→0.
