Chapter 47 - Banish the Back Row

Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, ATK 2500.

"You can do that?" Ryosuke Yamaguchi exclaimed. "A monster returned from the field can still be Special Summoned?"

"Wait, before that," Kazumi said, suddenly realizing something. "Didn't you say 'Vision with Eyes of Blue' can only Special Summon a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' monster from the hand? But this monster is called 'Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon'."

Her expression clearly said she thought he was making it up.

Seto Kaiba gave a proud snort. "Even if its name does not say so, 'Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon' is treated as a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' monster. (ANIME EFFECT)"

The three of them fell silent.

This was cheating. Absolute cheating.

Even Yugen, watching from the side, was momentarily speechless. He remembered that in another world, the card text really did state that it was treated as 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon', so Seto Kaiba was not lying.

"Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon's effect activates again," Seto Kaiba continued. "When it is Special Summoned, banish a Spell or Trap Card on the field. (ANIME EFFECT) This time, your back row."

He pointed toward the large man's field.

A white Mystical Space Typhoon lifted the facedown card and cast it into another dimension. It was 'Sakuretsu Armor'.

Yugen said nothing again. He noticed that among common traps, anime duelists seemed to love Sakuretsu Armor more than anything else. Its appearance rate was high, even if its success rate was always zero.

"Next, I activate the Spell Card 'Advanced Card Draw.' I tribute one Level 8 or higher monster I control and draw two cards from my Deck."

"I tribute 'Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon' and draw two cards."

The spirit dragon dissolved into points of light, its energy flowing back into Seto Kaiba's Deck. He smoothly drew two cards.

"Then I activate the Ritual Spell 'Chaos Form' from my hand," he said. "I tribute a Level 8 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my hand as the ritual material, allowing 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to evolve into chaos."

A ritual circle of chaotic light appeared behind him like a gate to a deep abyss. Within it, the form of Dragon of Light was swallowed, blue lightning raging as a dragon clad in mechanical armor roared its way out.

"The chaotic dragon that returns from the abyss now descends here. Ritual Summon."

"Level 8, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!"

Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, ATK 3000.

The overwhelming pressure of the so-called strongest Spirit dragon bore down on the three of them, making it hard to even raise their heads. The shock went straight through their bodies.

"Another new Blue-Eyes White Dragon," Kazumi swallowed.

Ryosuke Yamaguchi's face darkened. "How many kinds of weird Blue-Eyes White Dragon does this guy even have?"

"Now I activate the Spell Card 'Dragon Shrine' from my hand," Seto Kaiba said. "I send one Dragon-type monster from my Deck to the Graveyard. If the sent monster is a Normal Monster, I can send one more Dragon-type monster."

He immediately took two cards from his Deck.

"Therefore, I send two Normal Monsters, 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon,' from my Deck to the Graveyard."

A sense of dread spread across the three opponents.

"There are three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in the Graveyard now."

"Then I activate the Spell Card 'Dragon's Mirror'!"

As expected, Seto Kaiba raised the card in his hand.

"I banish the Polymerization material monsters from the Graveyard from Yugi Muto play and conduct a Polymerization Summon of a Dragon-type Polymerization monster."

"Therefore!"

Three cards shot up from the Graveyard at once.

"I banish three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the Graveyard from Yugi Muto play and perform a Polymerization Summon."

"The strongest and most ultimate dragon in history, transcending time and space, descends now."

"Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Summon!"

The three white dragons vanished into the fusion vortex. Thunder roared beneath black clouds, and a pillar of ancient light fell from above as skeletal wings spread wide. The ultimate three-headed white dragon descended like a god.

Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, ATK 4500.

Yugen watched from the front row with his chin in his hand. He wondered why Seto Kaiba still carried Dragon's Mirror when he already had other fusion methods, but then remembered that Dragon's Mirror was not limited to Blue-Eyes White Dragon. In the end, Blue-Eyes White Dragon was only part of Seto Kaiba's Deck.

All three opponents were completely stunned.

"Two monsters this strong at once."

"And he wiped out all our back row," Aikawa gritted his teeth. "At least one of us is done for this turn."

"It's fine," Ryosuke Yamaguchi said, forcing himself to calm down. "Even Seto Kaiba cannot take out all three of us in one turn. As long as someone survives and reaches the next turn."

"Are you mistaken about something?" Seto Kaiba sneered.

The three of them froze.

"You do not have a next turn."

Their eyes widened.

Was he planning a triple kill in one turn? That was impossible.

For duelists of this era, even an OTK in a normal one-on-one Duel was impressive. A one-turn wipe of three opponents was something they could not imagine even in dreams.

"This is nonsense."

"Battle Phase," Seto Kaiba said, raising his hand.

"First, 'Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon' attacks Koalo-Koala!"

The armored dragon opened its jaws, blue light surging as energy flowed along its armor and gathered into its mouth, lightning crackling around it.

"At the moment of attack declaration, 'Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon' activates its effect," Seto Kaiba shouted. "When a Chaos Dragon Ritual Summoned using 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' declares an attack, all monsters on the opponent's field change their battle positions. (ANIME EFFECT)"

"And all monsters affected by this effect have their ATK and DEF become 0! (ANIME EFFECT)"

The declaration struck like a thunderbolt, leaving the three of them completely stunned.

"Nani… Nani?!?!"

Marauding Captain, DEF 400 to ATK 0, twice. Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast, DEF 2000 to ATK 0. Koalo-Koala, DEF 200 to ATK 0.

Under the absolute domination of the dragon, all monsters on the field were forced upright, heads lowered, lined up to be struck. Only then did the three realize the true purpose of the earlier 'No Entry!!'.

By forcing everything into defense position first, the Chaos Dragon's effect would flip them all back to attack with zero ATK. They had turned their entire field into motionless targets.

Realizing this, Ryosuke Yamaguchi's face twisted in fear. "He calculated all of this."

The burst of light tore through the chest of Koalo-Koala with overwhelming force, destroying the massive beast in an instant.

"Gah!" Aikawa screamed as the damage hit him.

Aikawa, LP 4000 to LP 1000.

"Next, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon attacks directly!" Seto Kaiba roared. "Be crushed under the absolute radiance of the strongest dragon, trash."

"Ultimate Burst!"

White light erupted from the ultimate dragon's mouths, blasting Aikawa backward. He spun through the air and slammed into the wall, limbs spread as he was embedded there like some kind of grotesque display.

Aikawa, LP 1000 to LP 0.

The remaining two watched in terror, hearts pounding, barely daring to breathe. Hiding now would not change anything.

"Next is you," Seto Kaiba said, his cold gaze settling on the beautiful bartender.

Kazumi trembled and jumped back. "Wait, calm down. Both of your monsters have already attacked. You can't."

"Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon can attack three times in one turn if there is a 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' in my Polymerization Deck. This can only be used once per Duel. (ANIME EFFECT)"

Seto Kaiba shouted the declaration.

The two remaining opponents turned pale.

Three attacks in one turn. That kind of effect was absurd.

Yugen remembered that in the animation, True Ultimate Dragon would self-destruct at the end of the Battle Phase after using this effect. Still, these two clearly would not last that long.

"Ultimate Burst, second shot!" Seto Kaiba shouted. "Attack 'Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast'!"

With 4500 power crashing through, the Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast with zero ATK could not shield its owner at all. Monster and duelist were blown away together, accompanied by Kazumi's long, piercing scream.

Kazumi, LP 4000 to LP 0.
