Chapter 106

The first turn started with Gloria.

She, who had long been bored, not only had a duel to fight but was even teaming up with Tenjou Hikari; she didn't hesitate at all, drew a card immediately, and then, wearing a villainous sneer, looked down at the card in her hand.

Oh!

Is it actually this?

She looked at the card in her hand, her mouth couldn't help but curl up even more, and she took the opportunity to look at Tenjou Hikari.

Tenjou Hikari saw her looking over, didn't know what she meant, and appeared very calm.

"Tenjou Hikari." Before the duel even started, Gloria shouted at Tenjou Hikari, "We lost to you last time, but don't think we will always be left behind by you!"

"Hmm?" The Empress noticed the atmosphere was a bit strange and became even more curious.

Gloria didn't care about the Empress's expression, clenching her fist with a passionate demeanor: "Ever since we lost to you, we have been training and improving our deck! We are stronger than before!"

She took a card from her hand and inserted it into her duel disk: "Today, let's compare who deals more damage, how about that!"

"Student Gloria, I think tag dueling should be about cooperation, right?" Tenjou Hikari responded.

"Grace and I are the most perfect cooperative teammates—" Gloria's excitement faded quite a bit at this time; although she was teaming up with Tenjou Hikari, she still firmly believed that she and her sister would be the strongest tag duelists. "We will also keep evolving!

Let you see this card—it should be very familiar!"

A green spell card appeared on the field; on the card art was a dark knight falling from the sky.

Normal Spell Card, Fusion Deployment!

Yeah.

Tenjou Hikari raised an eyebrow.

Where did she get this card?

However, he wasn't too surprised.

People in this world aren't fools; after seeing some of Tenjou Hikari's useful fusion support cards and realizing that some of them could benefit their own decks, they would certainly try to find and collect these cards.

As high-level members of the "Fusion Army" in the original work, it was only natural for the Tyler sisters to collect these cards through the Fusion Army.

After all, cards like "Fusion Deployment" were very likely cards related to the Fusion Army, so it wouldn't be strange for them to appear.

Noticing that Tenjou Hikari wasn't surprised, Gloria didn't mind either.

"Fusion Deployment can only be activated once per turn; the turn it is activated, you cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck except for Fusion Monsters.

Reveal 1 Fusion Monster in your Extra Deck, and Special Summon the Fusion Material listed on that card from your hand or deck!

I reveal, Amazoness Empress!"

"Oh?" Amazoness Empress saw her own card appear in her opponent's hand and nodded with interest. "My fusion materials are Amazoness Queen and an Amazoness monster. So, you can only choose Amazoness Queen."

"That's right—I Special Summon from the deck, Amazoness Queen!"

The blue-haired Queen appeared on the field, waving her long blade.

At that time, the Empress was still very young.

Amazoness Queen, Level 6, Earth Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 2400.

"Summoned a high-level monster right away."

"Haha, as expected of the Tyler sisters!"

Grace saw her sister's performance and couldn't help but gently clap her hands against her face.

She didn't mind the chaos anyway.

"It's not over yet; activate the effect of Amazoness Spiritualist in my hand. When this card is in the hand or graveyard, target 1 'Amazoness' card other than [Amazoness Spiritualist] to activate. Return that card to the hand, and Special Summon this card.

The turn this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck except for [Amazoness] monsters."

The rare, delicate-type Amazoness girl shook her staff gently and appeared on the field.

Amazoness Spiritualist, Level 2, Earth Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 800.

"It was already restricted to only Fusion, and then restricted to only Amazoness." Misawa Daichi acted as the commentator. "But if the target was originally to fuse Amazoness monsters, then all the previous side effects don't matter.

However, recycling a 2400-ATK high-level monster to summon this monster... what is this for?"

Misawa was slightly confused.

"Ha, shut up and watch carefully!" Gloria raised the sword-shaped duel disk on her left hand, extended her right index finger, and pointed at the card in the monster zone. "When Spiritualist is successfully Special Summoned, you can add 1 Fusion from your deck to your hand."

Swish—

A card automatically popped out of the duel disk and fell downward; Gloria then swung her duel disk, caught the Fusion card with her right index and middle fingers, and swept her hands apart forcefully: "Spell Card, Fusion!"

"Fuse Amazoness Queen from my hand and Amazoness Spiritualist on the field!"

"Come on! My trump card!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Level 8!"

"Amazoness Empress!"

Accompanied by Gloria's shout, an Amazoness Empress one size smaller than the Empress opposite appeared on the field, waving her long blade expressionlessly.

"Oh ho... this is truly a novel sight." The Empress saw this scene and couldn't help but be amused.

Humans often marvel at spirits "summoning themselves?!" but for spirits, this kind of thing is a common occurrence.

But—

Seeing the opponent summon herself, that was truly something completely unseen for a spirit.

Amazoness Empress, Level 8, Earth Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 2800.

"Oh! So that's it; this way, you can guarantee Fusion is in hand, and you can also save a card—" Misawa Daichi continued to act as the commentator. "Beautiful improvement."

Compared to the last time she dueled Hikari, Gloria had indeed become stronger; this was definitely not bragging.

"Set two cards, turn end!" Gloria raised her head confidently.

"Truly impressive." Tenjou Hikari also praised her generally.

In this world, fusing through searching and recycling was already better than the vast majority of people.

Gloria heard this, but lowered her head in surprise, looking at Tenjou Hikari, surprised that he actually approved of her words.

Gloria wasn't bragging; she had indeed improved quite a bit since then.

However...

Tenjou Hikari looked directly opposite.

The opponent is [Amazoness Empress] herself.

"Nice Fusion. As a warrior who uses Amazoness, your performance is not bad. I can feel the passion and fighting spirit in your heart, but—

Not enough, not enough, not enough!

Not enough!!"

"As an Amazoness warrior, you should be even more fanatical, even more passionate!"

Her eyes erupted with red light; that kind of aura was something everyone present had never seen before.

Pure, most primitive savagery!

Bloodthirst!
