Kagurazaka: "Nani!?"
Interdimensional Female Warrior?
Isn't this an exorcism?
"The effect of the Interdimensional Female Warrior," Yugen said, "When this card battles with an opponent's monster, those battling monsters are each removed from the game."
He pointed to the two monsters on the field.
"Thus, 'Interdimensional Female Warrior' and 'Straight Flush Swordsman' are both removed from the game together."
The female warrior directly launched a Self-Sacrifice Dimension Slash, slicing open space with a single sword. Both warriors on the field were sucked into a pitch-black vortex and disappeared on the other side of the dimension.
Kagurazaka's eyes reddened: "Straight Flush Swordsman..."
He worked so hard to pull off such a cool combo, going through so much effort to summon a legendary level monster...
At least let me enjoy one powerful attack, right?
To have it gone without even making a single slash is too tragic, isn't it?
All around, students couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Looking at it this way, even legendary monsters seem to be just an exorcism away, huh.
And in their view, Kagurazaka summoning such a high-level monster and completing a total clear of the field was already impressive. Just moments ago, many were amazed at how his play truly had the style of a Duel King.
Who could have thought the opponent would already have a pit dug in the graveyard, and that this chain of pits would actually lead to an exorcism...
Who can withstand that?
It seems the first round still sees the Yellow Dormitory's indescribable one slightly taking the upper hand.
"Damn, even with a clean sweep of the field, it can't be stopped..." Kagurazaka gritted his teeth, "I'll set a card and end my turn."
"Then it's my turn, draw." Yugen said, "During the preparation phase, if there are no magic or trap cards on my backfield, the 'Yellow Springs Frog' in the graveyard can be special summoned."
The little frog with a halo jumped to Yugen's front field.
[Yellow Springs Frog, Attack Power 100]
Kagurazaka focused: "The other card discarded by Angel's Charity?"
"Magic Card 'Pot of Greed', draw two more cards from the deck." Yugen drew the cards, then revealed another card in his hand, "And then the Speed Attack Magic 'Chestnut Ball's Summoning Flute.'
Special summon 'Chestnut Ball' from the deck to the field!"
[Chestnut Ball, Attack Power 300]
"Another Chestnut Ball?"
Kagurazaka, just haunted by the Chestnut Ball's pit from the grave earlier, felt a sudden ominous premonition at the sight of another Chestnut Ball bouncing out.
Am I really going to lose to this thing today...
"Speed Attack Magic 'Multiplication', sacrifice the 'Chestnut Ball' on the field to special summon as many 'Chestnut Ball Derivatives' as possible."
The Chestnut Ball quickly multiplied under the magic effect, splitting into four derivatives.
[Chestnut Ball Derivative, Attack Power 300]x4
"Next, activate the Magic Card 'Burial Spell Treasure Scroll.' Remove the Magic Cards 'Angel's Charity', 'Multiplication', and 'Magic Guidebook Organization' from the game to draw two cards." (Original Card)
Yugen drew the cards.
Kagurazaka said solemnly: "But even if you summon more Chestnut Balls..."
"Activate Equipment Magic 'Power of Unity', equip it to the Chestnut Ball Derivative." Yugen said, "The equipped monster gains an attack power of their own field's monster count x800 points."
Kagurazaka: "!"
Equipping Power of Unity to the Chestnut Ball Derivative?
Doesn't that mean...
"That's right, I have five monsters on my field," Yugen said, "Thus, the attack power of the Chestnut Ball Derivative becomes..."
[Chestnut Ball Derivative, Attack Power 300→Attack Power 4300]
Kagurazaka's face turned pale: "An Attack Power of... four thousand three hundred for a Chestnut Ball!?"
The watching students couldn't help but exclaim: "A Chestnut Ball stronger than the legendary Obelisk!"
Chestnut Ball: Kurikuri! (Let's see who dares call me a small fry now)
But Kagurazaka quickly regained himself and shouted: "Then I activate the cover card 'Intimidating Roar'! This turn, the opponent cannot declare an attack!"
The intimidating sound waves exploded on the field, sealing off the entire offensive of Yugen's side.
"Hmm, attack lockdown, huh."
But it seems Kagurazaka indeed got a bit startled by the Chestnut Ball with 4,000 attack power, as the Intimidating Roar wasn't held until the battle phase... But, of course, it makes no difference.
"I haven't done a normal summon this turn yet." Yugen waved his hand, "Then, I'll use the 'Yellow Springs Frog' on the field as a sacrifice for an upper-level summon."
He paused, smiling slightly as he drew the card in his hand.
"Just right, this is the monster fitting for this duel, one of the soul cards accompanying the First Generation Duel King in duels..."
His strange smile made Kagurazaka's heart skip a beat again.
Just now, he claimed to pull out the Duel King's ace, but it turned out to be a Chestnut Ball that pitted him badly. Kagurazaka had a hunch that whatever he pulls out this time won't be good either...
"Upper-level summon, level five, Bouncing Turtle!"
[Bouncing Turtle, Defense Power 2000]
Kagurazaka: "Bouncing Turtle!?"
He surely recognized this card, as his deck also had it.
"Bouncing Turtle's effect, sacrifice a monster on your field to deal damage to the opponent's monster equal to half its attack power." Yugen said, "Although Chestnut Ball Derivatives can't be used as sacrifices for upper-level summons, they can be used as sacrifices for monster effects.
So I sacrifice the Chestnut Ball Derivative equipped with 'Power of Unity' and deal damage equal to half its attack power!"
Chestnut Ball: "Kurikuri!"
The empowered Chestnut Ball jumped onto the slide track on Bouncing Turtle's back, blasting off like an electromagnetic cannon shell.
The Chestnut Ball folded up, round like a spinning cannonball, slammed head-on into Kagurazaka's face, and exploded with a bang. Kagurazaka screamed and was blasted to the ground.
[Kagurazaka, LP 4000→LP 1850]
"Damn it..."
Duel King's ace card, my ass.
When people talk about Muto Yuugi's ace cards, shouldn't the first thoughts be those big monsters like Black Mage, Chaos Warrior, Dragon Slayer Knight?
Why do you end up with things like Chestnut Ball and Bouncing Turtle...
The onlookers gradually noticed.
"Come to think of it, is Yugen using Muto Yuugi's monsters today too?"
"Seems... so?"
The students glanced at each other, expressions a bit odd.
Suddenly, it felt like they were observing a duel between Duel Kings.
But speaking of which, why do both sides seem to use Duel King's cards but have such different vibes when they duel...
"Set two cards and end turn." Yugen said.
Kagurazaka brushed off the dust and stood up.
The effect of Bouncing Turtle has no once-per-turn limit, and his opponent didn't continue the bombardment... Is it to leave a better defense for the next turn?
Indeed, sacrificing the remaining derivatives along with the Bouncing Turtle itself would only add 950 points of damage. Not only would it not kill, but it might trigger a lifelink buff...
"No, I won't accept it."
Kagurazaka stood straight.
"Clearly, it's the Duel King's deck I have, the strongest power ever assembled!"
"I will not lose again, not to anyone..."
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and reached over the deck.
"My soul card deck, if you can hear my voice. Please, once more...
... lend me your strength once again!"
The spectators were momentarily confused.
"Wait a minute, isn't that a stolen deck..."
"Hmm, seems so."
Yugen: "..."
Damn it, Soul Card Deck, this guy is too into his role.
But you know, Kagurazaka does have a special talent for mimicry. This pose, this atmosphere, maybe it'll actually work...
"Draw!"
Kagurazaka's eyes lit up, raising his drawn card high.
"Magic Card 'Celestial Treasure Scroll'! Both sides draw cards from their decks until they have six cards in hand!"
