Chapter 136

Tenjou Hikari looked at his hand.

Excluding Dragon's Mirror, which he drew because of the Special Summon of Aster's Drillguy, he also had a Vampire Vamp in his hand to protect himself.

The two set cards depended on whether Aster would cooperate.

If he didn't cooperate, then only one card could be used.

Dragon's Mirror...

Now, it was time for him to deliberate.

Should he activate Dragon's Mirror, or keep it and wait for the "future."

"End turn."

"Heh—" Aster sneered.

Ding—ding—

It was as if a bell had rung.

"Then, I'm sorry, Department Head. My turn, draw!"

Aster drew a card, then took out one of them: "Spell card, Monster Reborn, revive Disc Commander from the Graveyard."

The hero covered in discs revived from the Graveyard.

It was the invincible Disc!

Tenjou Hikari raised an eyebrow.

This was the orthodox "Disc Commander," not the one with its effect changed!

"When Disc Commander is successfully Special Summoned from the Graveyard, I draw two cards." Aster replenished his hand again and again.

"Then... I offer Destiny HERO - Disc Commander, Destiny HERO - Denier, and Destiny HERO - Drillguy on the field as tributes!"

Swish—

Endless blood light erupted from the three hero monsters whose names were called on the field. Immediately after, the blood light rushing into the sky turned into a pillar of light, piercing straight into the sky, with no end in sight.

"By offering three monsters as tributes, I can make this card descend!"

"This is the ultimate hero of Destiny HEROes, the ultimate D, Destiny HERO - Plasma!"

The blood light rushing into the sky finally turned into endless blood, and a terrifying blood sphere shrouded the sky, illuminating the originally bright sky into a dim one.

The smell of blood permeated the entire station, and some students with poor tolerance couldn't help but retch.

Amidst the endless blood, a crisp crackling sound rang out, and then a figure spread its wings and slowly fell from the sky.

Destiny HERO - Plasma, Level 8, DARK, Warrior, ATK 1900.

"ATK 1900?"

"It needs three monsters as tributes, and it only has 1900?"

"But—that monster, it feels so scary."

Some students said instinctively.

Even those expressionless members of the Society of Light who were just guarding on both sides felt obvious discomfort after this monster appeared.

Fear permeated everyone's hearts!

"Then, activate the Spell card, D-Force!" On Aster's body, an invisible white light curtain began to twist. "After this card is activated, place it on top of my deck. As long as this card is on top of the deck, I cannot draw cards."

"Eh?"

"Isn't this a self-destructing card?"

"Correspondingly, as long as D-Force exists face-up on top of the deck, Plasma can negate the effects of all monsters on the opponent's field!"

Black Flame Knight was originally fearless, but until facing Plasma, the power on his body was suddenly drained, and his whole person appeared extremely pale.

"Subsequently, Plasma's monster effect, once per turn, target 1 monster on the opponent's field, that monster becomes its Equip Card, gaining half of its ATK and the same effect!"

Black Flame Knight didn't even react, and his body was pulled at high speed. Not long after, he was pulled over by Plasma's power and merged into Plasma's body.

Plasma, ATK: 1900 -> 3000.

"Oh no, in this way, Tenjou's field is empty!"

"Don't be afraid, Tenjou Hikari still has two set cards, he can handle it!"

"Naive!" Aster raised his voice, a sneer on his face. "Equip Spell—D-Shield! This card can be equipped to a Destiny HERO monster. When the equipped monster attacks, destroy all other Spell/Trap cards on the field!"

"Equip it to Dreadmaster!"

"But in this way, Black Flame Knight will also be destroyed—" The watching students were so cold because of the surrounding atmosphere that their attention was more focused on the duel.

"As long as everything that interferes is destroyed, ensuring the attack goes through, then it doesn't matter! Because the duel is already over, there's no need to care about attack power! Dreadmaster attacks directly!"

Yes—

As long as [the attack goes through]!

"I was waiting for this moment, Aster!" Tenjou Hikari spoke suddenly, "Open the set card, Trap card, Necro Fusion!"

"Banish the Fusion materials in the Graveyard face-down to perform a Fusion Summon! The monster summoned by that Fusion Summon cannot attack that turn!"

"Graveyard Fusion?" Aster looked at this card and frowned.

Although Tenjou Hikari's set card was finally forced out, what could Tenjou Hikari have in his Graveyard that could be fused?

"The Fusion conditions are, a FIRE Warrior monster and a Dragon monster!"

Dragon monster?

Aster was stunned—

Ah.

Was it the second card sent to the Graveyard by Flame Sword Domain?

"I banish Curse of Dragon and Flame Swordsman in the Graveyard face-down!"

Boom—

At Tenjou Hikari's position, the crimson flames burned again, and a fire dragon biting a sword circled around Tenjou Hikari.

"Fusion Summon, Fighting Flame Dragon!"

Fighting Flame Dragon, Level 5, FIRE, Dragon, DEF 1600.

"It's not over yet, the other card you destroyed of mine is... Trap Trick!"

"Tsk!" Aster remembered this card.

"When this set card leaves the field due to the opponent's effect and is sent to the Graveyard or banished, activate. Special Summon 1 monster from the Extra Deck!"

"Come out, Predaplant Chimerafflesia!"

Under the dark sky, a huge man-eating flower surged up from the ground, slowly revealing its appearance.

Predaplant Chimerafflesia, Level 7, DARK, Plant, DEF 2000.

Actually, Tenjou Hikari wanted to Special Summon Phoenix Enforcer, so he could strike Aster from a mental level and try to call out to him, but unfortunately, Phoenix Enforcer could only be Special Summoned by Fusion Summon. Although he really wanted to buy a HERO Fusion monster that could use Monster Reborn like Judai's Flame Wingman, unfortunately, he didn't get one.

Because of D-Shield, the equipment on Plasma was destroyed, so its ATK returned to 1900, and it could no longer break through Chimerafflesia's DEF.

"...Tsk."

Aster looked at the two extra monsters on the field and snorted coldly.

"Discard 1 card from my hand, send Destiny HERO - Dashguy from my hand to the Graveyard, activate Dreadmaster's effect, increase the ATK of all Destiny HEROes on the field."

"I have a total of 7 Destiny HEROes in my Graveyard, so—their ATK increases by 1400!"

Destiny HERO - Plasma, ATK: 1900 -> 3300.

Destiny HERO - Dreadmaster, ATK: 2000 -> 3400.

Just for this, he discarded two cards from his hand!

In this way, he only had one card left in his hand!

And—

He only had this one card in his hand, because he couldn't draw any more cards!

"Destiny HERO - Dreadmaster attacks Predaplant Chimerafflesia!"
