Chapter 26: The Black Dragon represents burning life points

"The effect of Future Fusion. It can only be used once per turn, and only when the opponent has a monster on their field. Send the materials required for a Gem-Knight Fusion Monster, other than Rock-Type, from your Deck to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon one Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck."

"After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck for the rest of the turn, except for Gem-Knight Fusion Monsters."

Tenjou Hikari opened his Extra Deck, displayed a heroic, tall knight, and then sent Gem-Knight Crystal and one Gem-Knight Tourmaline from his Deck to the Graveyard.

A brilliant diamond descended slowly from the sky, accompanied by a soft clicking sound. Captain Gem-Knight Crystal, in a lightning-strike state, made a shining entrance!

Gem-Knight Prism Aura, Level 7, Earth Attribute, Thunder-Type, ATK 2450.

"Please leave it to me with peace of mind, Lord Tenjou!" Captain Crystal swung his massive long spear, completing his first manifestation in this world.

"Change Labyrinth Tank to Attack Position!"

Labyrinth Tank, ATK: 2400.

"Battle! Prism Aura attacks Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

"Tch—" Dark Fubuki let out a cold snort.

At this moment, Captain Crystal's noble 50 points of ATK could finally manifest their value.

This is Yu-Gi-Oh!; having 1 point more ATK is a crushing blow. Although 2400 and 2450 only differ by a mere 50 points, Captain Crystal could simply pin Red-Eyes Black Dragon down and pummel it.

The fire dragon was smashed to pieces and fell into the magma.

Dark Fubuki LP: 3500 → 3450.

"Next, Labyrinth Tank attacks directly!"

The wheels and spikes of the stylish little tank began to spin crazily. Under Tenjou Hikari's command, it charged straight toward Dark Fubuki, slamming into him fiercely—

"Ah!!"

Dark Fubuki was struck by the powerful tank, sent flying, bounced a few times on the blue energy floor, and finally landed precariously on the edge.

He struggled to stand up; his clothes were already tattered, and he began to bleed.

"Hehehe, what a powerful pain. It seems your Spirit power is not small either."

Tenjou Hikari raised an eyebrow.

Why hasn't he used his face-down card yet?

He found it a bit strange.

If he set a card but couldn't use it, what kind of card could it be?

He glanced at his own other face-down card. It was the Trap Card "Chain Burst." Because he hadn't drawn any cards related to Flame Swordsman, it had been stuck there.

What about Darkness?

"Good, this way we've significantly reduced Darkness's life points!" Asuka breathed a sigh of relief on the side, the trembling of her chest revealing her inner tension and unrest.

For an ordinary female student, things like Shadow Duels were still too illusory and ethereal.

"I activate the effect of Future Fusion again, revealing Elemental HERO Flame Wingman and sending Avian from my Deck to the Graveyard."

Tenjou Hikari hadn't forgotten to continue using Future Fusion's effect to compress his Deck.

"End turn."

"Hehehehe..." Despite being at a disadvantage, Dark Fubuki looked completely unconcerned and unafraid; instead, he began to laugh wildly. "You made me feel pain!"

"Gone crazy?" Tenjou Hikari thought, this isn't Fubuki's line, is it?

How many Marufuji Ryos is he worth?

"My turn, draw."

"I activate the Spell Card, Pot of Greed, to draw two cards from my Deck." He glanced at the cards he drew, then continued to laugh wildly. "Open face-down card, Call of the Haunted!"

"Why Call of the Haunted?" Asuka on the side realized something was wrong. If it was this card, why didn't he use it during the Battle Phase last turn?

Even if Labyrinth Tank and Red-Eyes Black Dragon had the same ATK, they might not necessarily have destroyed each other. Moreover, even if they did, it wouldn't have been a loss. It could have even saved 2400 life points.

Tenjou Hikari, however, couldn't help but frown.

Life points are something that doesn't matter how many you have until they hit zero.

Saving more important cards to carry out deeper tactics and exchanges is the mindset of a wise duelist.

From this point of view, Dark Fubuki's willingness to be burned all over just to save a Red-Eyes Black Dragon really did have a bit of the feeling of Katsuya Jonouchi back in the day.

"The one I'm reviving is, of course, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

"Next, Spell Card, Inferno Fire Blast!"

Inferno Fire Blast—

A second one!

This time, Tenjou Hikari had no Fusion Guard to use. He hurriedly shouted for Asuka to step back, while he blocked in front of himself with both hands.

"Hahaha, dragon of vengeance, let your raging fire burn the enemy to ashes! Darkness Metallic Flame!"

Red-Eyes Black Dragon gathered its energy and then spat out a massive black fireball.

"I'll block it!" Captain Crystal lived up to his name as a captain. Even if he was just a fragment of Captain Crystal's long story, Gem-Knight Crystal decisively jumped out, turning into a phantom, covering Tenjou Hikari's body, using his gems and body to shield Tenjou Hikari from the scorching flames and the baking temperature, acting as his escort.

Tenjou Hikari LP: 4000 → 1600.

"Ugh—"

Despite having Crystal's protection, Tenjou Hikari still fell to his knees, exhausted, feeling a burning pain all over his body.

He could faintly smell a burnt odor; it wasn't from the volcano's magma, but rather his uniform seemed to have been burned away in one spot.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain."

The miserable state of her classmate made Asuka deeply understand the horror of a "Shadow Duel," making her realize even more clearly the danger of this duel.

"Tenjou-kun, are you okay!" She hurriedly ran over to try and support Tenjou Hikari; at this moment, she had no thoughts of avoiding suspicion.

"Don't come over!"

Tenjou Hikari shouted.

The opponent wasn't finished yet!

"Heh, the turn Inferno Fire Blast is activated, Red-Eyes Black Dragon cannot attack, but—I offer Red-Eyes Black Dragon as a Tribute to Special Summon, Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!"

"Roar!"

The flames on the Black Dragon's body became even more scorching, the powerful fire burning its scales until they resembled metal. When it appeared again, it had completely transformed into another existence.

"This card can only be Special Summoned by Tributing Red-Eyes Black Dragon."

"Its ATK increases by 300 for every Dragon-Type monster in the Graveyard!"

Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, Level 9, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 2400 → 3000.

"It's actually enough to equal Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Asuka was shocked.

"Battle! Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, finish off that Otherworld Knight who likes to play the good guy!" Dark Fubuki could naturally see the spirits. He pointed a finger, looking down at Prism Aura with a sidelong glance, commanding the Darkness Dragon.

The Darkness Dragon received the order, roared wildly, rushed in front of Prism Aura, and performed a hand-crushing-diamond act.

"Ugh!"

Tenjou Hikari felt his abdomen being pierced directly again, let out a painful cry, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Tenjou Hikari LP: 1600 → 1050.

"Tenjou-kun!" Asuka hurriedly ran over, supporting Tenjou Hikari so he wouldn't fall down.

"Heh heh, this way, both players' LP are equal. We're even." Dark Fubuki laughed and set a card. "Set a card, end turn."

Tenjou Hikari took a deep breath. After resting for a while, he said, "Thank you, Tenjouin-san." Then, he let go of Asuka's hand, propped himself up, and looked at Dark Fubuki with a firm gaze.

"My turn, draw—"

He glanced at the card he drew, the corners of his mouth curling up. It's here!

As expected, use this!

"I activate the Continuous Spell, Flame Sword Domain!"

"Are you sure about that?"

Seeing this card, Dark Fubuki's mouth curled up, and he suddenly asked Tenjou Hikari.

"What?" Tenjou Hikari wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and looked up at Dark Fubuki.

"Hehehe... or should I say, are you more familiar with this voice?" Dark Fubuki looked at Asuka, who had been worried all along, and suddenly spoke peacefully, "Asuka?"

"!!?" Asuka was struck as if by lightning.

This familiar frivolous tone, this voice—wait, this figure...

Dark Fubuki spread his hands wide, his chest exposed, a smile still hanging on his face, laughing: "The owner of this body seems to be called... Tenjouin Fubuki?"

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Holy crap!?

Damn it!

Tenjou Hikari's eyes widened at the words, his hand movements paused, and he stood there stunned.

[It] is not the amnesiac and controlled Tenjouin Fubuki, not "Dark Fubuki," but the real Darkness!

The final boss of the entire "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX"!

You beast!

White Dragon brings victory, Black Dragon brings possibilities (Big lie).

The times have changed; White Dragon has both possibilities and victory, Black Dragon only has the Forbidden List.
