Chapter 328

Assassin LP: 4000 → 2000.

"It's actually Final Countdown??"

"It's broken, it's actually this card!"

Many students were panicked when they saw this card appear.

Serina naturally recognized this card too. The moment she saw this card, her original trust in Tiancheng Kō suddenly turned into worry.

Because this card was simply too "dangerous."

"Pay 2000 Life Points to activate." The assassin grinned, explaining the effect of this card that all the students knew. "On the 20th turn after this card is activated, I will win!"

Following his shout, above the train track, a huge pitch-black hideous smile emerged, and immediately after, 20 colorless flames slowly burned in the air.

20 turns.

Normally, after twenty turns, the winner would have been decided long ago.

But—

That is "normal circumstances."

Any student who knew a little bit about this card knew that a deck that put this kind of card in it was not a deck that could easily "win in twenty turns."

"Next, I set a monster, set a card, end turn."

"Ah—as expected!"

"Too despicable! Activating this kind of card first, not giving people a chance to react!"

"Exactly!"

The assassin didn't care at all.

He wanted Tiancheng Kō's life, not some face.

"At this moment, the final moment, take a step forward!"

"First turn!"

Boom—

A black flame burned, turning into bright red.

Still 19 turns to go.

"My turn, draw card." Tiancheng Kō was not affected and started drawing cards directly.

He looked at his hand.

"Activate Continuous Spell Card, Fusion Reserve."

"Ha, fusion..." The assassin didn't seem to care at all.

"This card's effect can only be activated if the opponent has a monster on their field." Tiancheng Kō picked up the Extra Deck and selected from it. "Send the fusion materials determined by a Gem-Knight Fusion Monster card other than Rock-Type from my deck to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from the deck.

When this card leaves the field, that monster is destroyed. After this effect is activated, I cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck until the end of the turn unless it is a 【Gem-Knight】 monster."

Tiancheng Kō scanned around: "I send Gem-Knight Garnet and Gem-Knight Lapis from the deck to the Graveyard, Fusion Summon—the heroic red knight.

Gem-Knight Ruby."

A knight wearing bright red armor, different in appearance from Lapis, appeared on his field.

Gem-Knight Ruby, Level 6, Earth Attribute, Pyro-Type, ATK 2500.

"Ah! It's Ruby!" Serina saw this card and suddenly patted her palm in realization. "Oh right, anyway, Final Countdown requires paying 2000 Life Points. If there are only 2000 Life Points left, use Ruby, which has a piercing effect, to attack. If the defense of a face-down monster is lower than 500, the winner will be decided in one turn!"

"Piercing?"

"As expected of Tiancheng Kō, he thought of a strategy in an instant."

Ruby waved the battle scythe in his hand, appeared above the face-down card, and swung the scythe at the face-down card. The scythe pierced through the face-down monster, which turned out to be a huge blue-skinned mouse.

"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"

The blue-skinned mouse screamed.

"It's Giant Rat, DEF 1450!"

"Beautiful, that caused 1050 points of damage!"

Assassin LP: 2000 → 950.

"When Giant Rat is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon 1 Earth Attribute monster with 1500 or less ATK from the deck. I Special Summon another Giant Rat."

Another big blue mouse appeared on the field.

Giant Rat, Level 4, Earth Attribute, Beast-Type, ATK 1400.

?

This is too classic.

Many students were very confused.

If it was just like this, wanting to persist for 20 turns was too whimsical.

"Set one card, end turn."

At the same time, another flame was lit in the sky.

"Hehehe, Tiancheng Kō, you must be thinking, if it's like this, wanting to last 20 turns is impossible, right?"

The assassin drew a card, looked at the card in his hand, and sneered.

In fact, not only the students, but even this assassin said so.

Paying 2000 Life Points at the start, and then being beaten passively, still wanting to last 20 turns?

That's impossible, no way.

But—

He had this confidence.

"My turn, let you see the source of my confidence. Wanting to defeat me with piercing damage? A mere thousand-plus points is not enough!

Activate Trap Card.

Three of a Kind!"

Eh?

Tiancheng Kō was a bit surprised to see this card.

In the card art, three Gaias were facing each other.

"Three of a Kind, what kind of card is this, never heard of it at all?"

"If you ask me, I don't know either..."

Some students looked at each other in confusion.

A card they hadn't seen before.

Clearly, none of the students present had ever seen or even heard of this card.

44 sneered: "Three of a Kind's effect: declare the type of monster card in the Extra Deck to activate. Both players confirm their entire Extra Deck, and the player with more cards of the declared type recovers 3000 Life Points."

"Oh, that's really, Senior Tiancheng used a Fusion Monster, so there should be one less than the opponent."

"That's not necessarily true, few people can fill the Extra Deck like Senior Kō."

In this world, Extra Deck monsters are quite scarce.

"Hee, what I want to declare is... Xyz Monster!"

"What?"

"Ah!?"

"What did he say—"

Tiancheng Kō was slightly surprised, but only slightly: "My Xyz Monster count is 0."

"Ha... I have—1!" The assassin revealed a black card.

"1?!"

"How, how is that possible!"

"This guy actually got an Xyz Monster like Senior Kaiser!?"

"And it's an Xyz Monster that can be used?!"

Assassin LP: 950 → 3950

"Good, in this way, there's no need to worry about Life Points." He grinned, "Then, I Normal Summon a third Giant Rat!"

"Then..."

Tiancheng Kō noticed that red light suddenly appeared on his forehead, and a strange character appeared on his hand.

"What is that!?"

Some students exclaimed.

They couldn't tell what this was, but they could see that this assassin was going to use some kind of powerful "power," a special power that ordinary spirits couldn't use!

"Oh?" Tiera looked at this person's actions with great interest.

"Ahhhhhhh—" Just see that string of characters getting brighter and brighter on his hand, gradually appearing completely, getting bigger, and covering his body.

Tiancheng Kō distinguished it slightly.

Oh—

85, huh?

"Construct an Xyz Network with two monsters!!"

The two Giant Rats turned into black spheres, and immediately after, in front of the assassin, a huge rotating black vortex appeared.

Boom—boom—

The two black spheres crashed into the vortex, and after a while of floating, a huge cube slowly rose, on which a huge dimensional number was also engraved—85!

At the same time, the number lit up with red light, and this huge cube cracked, rotated, and then revealed the eyeball inside, observing this world gloomily.

"Appear!"

"Rank 4!"

"No. 85 Crazy Box!"
