Chapter 422: Prismaura Rises Again! (Ten Thousand Daily Request for Monthly Tickets)

"How can this be?" Ansel looked at his Continuous Trap Card turning into fragments in surprise, unable to say anything for a while.

"Why was Skill Drain destroyed?"

"What's going on, wasn't it negated?"

The audience immediately started a heated discussion.

"It's very simple, because I used Fusion Recovery to dodge the effect of Skill Drain." Tiancheng Guang held up a finger, both to the audience and to Tiera, "Different cards have different effects.

The effect of Skill Drain is that as long as this card is on the field, the effects of face-up monsters on the field are negated."

"So that's how it is..." Ansel heard Tiancheng Guang's words and realized it belatedly.

"Therefore, as long as you use other means to send the monster card that is activating its effect on the field to the Graveyard, banish it, return it to the deck, or return it to the hand, then you can ignore the effect of Skill Drain, achieve a chain, and destroy the card on your field—conversely, if the effect of Skill Drain was 【the effects of face-up monsters on the field are negated】, then even if Prismaura returned to the Extra Deck, it wouldn't be able to destroy your Skill Drain."

Ansel understood this point very quickly and couldn't help but applaud: "Brilliant! Truly brilliant! I have dueled so many duelists, and they often rely on cards like Harpie's Feather Duster or Mystical Space Typhoon to solve Skill Drain. You are the first person to directly use a Fusion card to destroy my Skill Drain!

Worthy of being Tiancheng Guang!"

"So it can be done like this." Tiera pondered on the side.

If that's the case, then her Infernoid... so that's how it is, this kind of thing can be done.

Compared to the outside, the duelists in the preparation hall were talking one after another, and after communicating, they immediately understood how this happened.

"Amazing." Several participating players couldn't help but exclaim, "I used to think that Tiancheng dueling relied on more powerful Fusion and Fusion monsters to duel, but now it seems that it's not like that at all.

Tiancheng Guang's dueling is indeed as he said, understanding and tolerance.

He has never been bragging, but stating facts!"

"However, as for ATK—mine is still higher!"

Ansel raised a hand and pointed to the giant mechanical dragon behind him: "Although Skill Drain left, the state of the Variable Machine Dragon has already changed, so its ATK is still 2800!

Your two monsters' ATK is simply not enough!"

The giant mechanical dragon looked at the two Gem-Knights waiting on the field and roared softly.

What he said made sense, pulling the attention of the audience who were marveling back to the field.

"It doesn't matter, because I'm going to fuse again—activate the Normal Spell Card, Substitute Fusion." Tiancheng Guang curled his lips and slowly picked up a Spell Card, "This card is treated as 【Fusion】 in the rules, send the Fusion Materials on my field to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon a Fusion monster."

"Fusion—could it be!?"

"That's right, I can only fuse 【Gem-Knight】 monsters this turn, so I'm going to fuse Tourmaline and Crystal on the field, Fusion Summon!"

"Come on, once more, Captain, connect with your companions, fuse the power of your companions—"

"Turn into the power of light, Fusion Summon!"

"Level 7, Gem-Knight Prismaura!"

The silver-white knight appeared again!

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

"Hmm..." Seeing this card, Ansel looked troubled.

Tiancheng Guang took the opportunity to raise a finger again and said: "The effect of Gem-Knight Prismaura is, once per turn, discard a Gem-Knight card to destroy 1 face-up card on the field.

However—the effect of this card is not a card name restriction, which means that every Prismaura can activate this effect once per turn."

"Ah!?"

"Wow, that means it can directly destroy the Variable Machine Dragon?"

"Hiss—so powerful. Not only did he destroy Skill Drain, but he can also come out again and destroy the Variable Machine Dragon again!"

Ansel was obviously surprised to see Prismaura, but he wasn't too nervous: "However, if Prismaura wants to destroy a monster, it needs to discard a Gem-Knight from the hand—"

"It doesn't matter, because the Fusion in my Graveyard is still calling to me!"

!?

"The effect of Gem-Knight Fusion: if this card is in the Graveyard, banish 1 Gem-Knight monster from your Graveyard to activate. Add this card in the Graveyard to your hand."

"Hmm..."

In this way, Prismaura has ammunition again!

"I banish Gem-Knight Tourmaline from the Graveyard, add Gem-Knight Fusion to my hand, and then, activate Prismaura's effect, destroy your Variable Machine Dragon!"

At this moment, Prismaura was obviously much more powerful. It moved its arms, looked at the giant mechanical dragon, not fearing the difference in power at all, and charged directly at the Variable Machine Dragon.

Boom!

The Variable Machine Dragon shattered in response.

"Wow! Captain, too handsome!"

"So powerful, Captain Crystal!"

A group of students from the Fusion Department cheered.

"In this way, you have no monsters on the field to stop my attack—"

"Battle Phase, use Prismaura to attack directly!"

"Wait, I activate a Trap Card!" Seeing Tiancheng Guang attacking, Ansel didn't hesitate and immediately opened his set card, "Continuous Trap Card, Gravity Bind!"

Tiancheng Guang raised an eyebrow.

"As long as this card is on the field, monsters Level 4 or higher cannot declare an attack!"

Good guy.

Tiancheng Guang took a look.

"Then, I activate the effect of Gem-Knight Fusion in the Graveyard, banish Gem-Knight Crystal, return it to my hand, and then I end my turn like this."

Many people felt it was a pity.

Although even if this attack had gone through, it wouldn't have been possible to win directly, it would have boosted the momentum.

But many people felt it didn't matter.

Since Skill Drain was gone, there was actually no need to worry at all.

After all, if Ansel couldn't deal with Prismaura, next turn, Tiancheng Guang could just discard Gem-Knight Fusion and destroy Gravity Bind again. At that time, Tiancheng Guang's advantage would be quite huge.

Ansel obviously knew this too.

However, he wasn't nervous; instead, he looked around and said loudly: "Friends, I am currently in quite a dangerous situation. If I can't find a solution this turn, then next turn, Tiancheng Guang can just fuse a monster and use Prismaura to destroy Gravity Bind, and I will lose directly!"

The audience heard his words and knew he was right. Some spirits who were interested in him even subconsciously flew down to get a closer look.

"Tell me, can I make a comeback!"

"I don't know—"

"Who knows!"

"That's right, no one knows, this is the fun of dueling—so, Tiancheng Guang, I'm going to draw a card."

Tiancheng Guang couldn't help but be happy.

If all entertainment duelists were like this, it would be quite interesting.

"Okay, let me see what you can draw."

"Then—my turn, draw!" He glanced at the card he drew and curled his lips.

He drew the card with an 【Effect】 that he wanted!

Subsequently, he immediately hid his smile and covered his head exaggeratedly: "No~~~~"

Now the audience immediately knew that the card he drew was definitely not a card that could help him deal with this situation.

Some audience members sat back down, feeling bored or a pity, and some spirits shook their heads.

"The card I drew, how, how could it be you—Spell Card, Magical Mallet!" He directly held up the card, and under the operation of the lights and cameras, the huge image of Magical Mallet lit up on the field, allowing everyone to see it.

Magical Mallet, send 1 face-up Continuous Trap Card on your field to the Graveyard. Draw two cards.

"Oh!"

"Whoa—"

"Good guy."

"If I discard Gravity Bind at this time, I can draw two cards, but if I keep Gravity Bind, combined with the cards in my hand, maybe I can last until the next turn. Why, why did I draw such a card~"

"That's right!" "What a pity." "Little brother, your dueling is very interesting, we won't forget you!"

He covered his face, looking very sad, but then, he slowly straightened up: "However—dueling is full of possibilities and unknowns!

Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of dueling, for everyone, for entertainment, I will—

Activate Normal Spell Card, Magical Mallet!"

"Ah!" "Wow—" "Going all out!?"

"Good! Go for it!"

Although he used a beat-type deck and even configured a large number of trap cards, making it look not so "entertaining," his series of operations made some spirits around him interested.

Although he was not a hot-blooded duelist, he also had his own uniqueness and persistence.

"Yo, this human is quite interesting." Tiera pointed at the opponent on the side.

Tiancheng Guang nodded slightly.

"Send Gravity Bind on the field to the Graveyard, draw two cards!"

Ansel sent Gravity Bind to the Graveyard, glanced at the cards he drew, and couldn't help but smile unobtrusively again.

The card given by President Pegasus was drawn.

He glanced at the opponent's field and thought for a moment.

Worthy of being Tiancheng Guang, he is indeed strong enough. I didn't expect him to be able to crack Skill Drain with a monster instead of using Foolish Burial.

If I only relied on my own dueling, it would indeed be difficult to win.

The Skill Drain prepared in advance was too few. If I had known, I should have put in Fusion Prohibition Area.

He also didn't expect that Tiancheng Guang would be honestly fusing today.

However, a duelist cannot retreat in the face of battle.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and raised his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen! It seems that the Goddess of Fate is still favoring me~~"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his opponent: "Then, Student Tiancheng, since things have come to this, I will also use my hot-blooded muscles—"

?

"Banish Dark Panther Warrior in my hand and Variable Machine Dragon Cannon Shooter Dragon in the Graveyard, Special Summon this!"

A Special Summon that doesn't start a chain?

And this condition?

Tiancheng Guang was slightly stunned.

"Come on, the power of our Industrial Illusions!"

Industrial Illusions!?

Many people were shocked.

This person is a special student of Industrial Illusions—

"Special Summon, Beast Machine King Barbaros Ur!"

Clang clang clang!

Countless mechanical fragments flew out of the Graveyard out of thin air, and a giant warrior combining a human and a lion appeared out of thin air. Those machines combined on his body, instantly turning into a mechanical spear and a mechanical shield.

"Barbaros!?"

"Wow—isn't that Young Master Pegasus's card?"

Tiancheng Guang raised an eyebrow and touched his chin.

It's reasonable to have Barbaros in a deck with Skill Drain...

However, so Barbaros exists in this world too?

Tiancheng Guang had seen the Father of Duel Monsters, Pegasus, come to the school to talk to Principal Jiaodao before. In addition, Maeda Hayato had also gained Pegasus's appreciation and joined Industrial Illusions.

It turns out that the student in front of him is also that kind of student, but it seems he was invited as a duelist—no wonder he is quite like Pegasus in some places; it seems he is intentionally imitating him.

Tiancheng Guang pondered, since Pegasus is not dead, then it should be a pure animation worldview, and it is unlikely that there will be the grudges between Pegasus Yuexing, Pegasus Yexing, and Yugi.

But listening to the discussions of the people around, it seems that the Pegasus brothers also exist in this world.

Famous as card designers and duelists for Industrial Illusions...

Then speaking of which, they should also be considered "legendary duelists," right?

Tiancheng Guang suddenly thought.

Thinking about it this way, collecting the Legendary Dragons is far less difficult than he imagined, and there are actually still many legendary duelists.

During the time Tiancheng Guang was thinking, Barbaros had also completely appeared.

Beast Machine King Barbaros Ur, Level 8, Earth Attribute, Beast-Warrior-Type, ATK 3800.

"ATK 3800!"

"Such high ATK, and it appeared directly without sacrifices!"

"Far higher than Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Everyone marveled at Barbaros's stats, but Ansel still honestly explained its effect: "Beast Machine King can be Special Summoned by banishing one Beast-Warrior-Type and one Machine-Type monster from the hand, field, or Graveyard. It is a card redesigned by Young Master Yexing before. Interested audience members, remember to go and draw the latest Beast-Warrior-Type special card pack—ahem, but be careful, the battle damage caused by Beast Machine King to the opponent becomes 0, so everyone without Skill Drain, don't count on it too much.

As for now, it is my chance to turn defeat into victory!"

"I Normal Summon, Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei!"

A muscular man full of muscles jumped out from his field.

Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei, Level 4, Earth Attribute, Beast-Warrior-Type, ATK 2300.

"Battle, Beast Machine King attacks Prismaura!"

The armor on Beast Machine King sprayed out heat, and then with a buzz, it rushed to the top of Prismaura and knocked it down with a hammer. Crystal only felt dizzy in his brain, and in the next second, he entered the Graveyard.

"Then, Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei attacks directly!"

The muscular man rushed in front of Tiancheng Guang and elbowed him.

Tiancheng Guang LP, 4000 → 1700.

"Indomitable Fighter will change to Defense Position after the attack ends."

Indomitable Fighter Lei Lei, ATK → DEF, DEF: 0.

"Then, I activate the Continuous Spell Card, Messenger of Peace."

Tiancheng Guang saw this familiar Spell Card and couldn't help but be a little happy.

This sticker brother is really quite good at playing.

A white dove flew from the sky and landed on him: "As long as this card is on the field, monsters with 1500 or more ATK on the field cannot declare an attack!"

He had just finished attacking on his side and activated such a card. Honestly, many duelists in the preparation area frowned when they saw it.

But for a duel, this is undoubtedly correct.

He turned around and waved to the audience: "Thank you everyone, thank you everyone for cheering for me, allowing me to counterattack this turn!!"

Although the cheers this time were far less strong than before, using Magical Mallet to send his own trap to the Graveyard and turn the tables, regaining the advantage, was still very hot-blooded in the eyes of the audience watching the fun.

Some monsters that can assist traps or have effects similar to Lei Lei couldn't help but cheer harder.

"How about it, Tiancheng Guang, can you do it?" Tiera asked.

She wasn't worried about Tiancheng Guang, just felt that the opponent really had a lot of preparations.

Not only did he cause damage, but he also defended. Barbaros's 3800 ATK was there, which was indeed very high.

"It's okay, it's not much different from what I expected." He didn't expect the opponent to be able to pull out a special card like Barbaros, but it was within his acceptable range.

After all, he had long known the opponent's tactical train of thought.

"And what I need to do, I have long been prepared for—"

"My turn, draw!"

Tiancheng Guang drew the card quickly, and countless cameras focused on him at this moment.

"What a great response, Student Ansel, going all out, discarding the trap used for protection just for a counterattack, this kind of courage is admirable—

And I, too, will offer my duel!

My 【Fusion】!"

He suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the Graveyard: "Activate the effect of Substitute Fusion in the Graveyard, banish this card, return the Fusion monster in the Graveyard to the Extra Deck, and then draw a card!"

Many people saw this operation and just nodded calmly, not feeling anything strange.

But soon, they would understand what Tiancheng Guang's 【Fusion】 theme was today.

"Then... I activate this card, Normal Spell Card, Thunder Dragon Fusion!"

Thunder Dragon Fusion?

"At this point, if you fuse Thunder Dragon Colossus, it can only last for two turns, right?"

"No, Thunder Dragon Fusion returns monsters to the deck to fuse, it's impossible to have monsters in the Graveyard to block destruction—"

The duelists in the Duelist Hall were communicating one after another.

Kaiser frowned slightly, realizing Tiancheng Guang's idea.

"No." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu spoke directly, "So that's how it is—it's this kind of thing, that guy Tiancheng, his last performance was 【using the same Fusion materials to perform different Fusions】, today he is using the opposite one?"

The other kind?

Many people were stunned.

"Ah—that guy, he only has one thing to fuse!?" Sanze Dadi suddenly came back to his senses.

Tiancheng Guang raised his hand, and in the sky, thunderclouds rolled, and a figure was hidden in it, seemingly gradually emerging: "The effect of Thunder Dragon Fusion, return the Fusion materials on the field, in the Graveyard, or in the banished state to the deck to perform a Fusion Summon of a Thunder-Type Fusion monster!"

"Could it be!" Ansel's pupils slowly contracted.

"That's right, it is exactly that 【Could it be】!" Tiancheng Guang raised his lips, "Return Gem-Knight Crystal and Gem-Knight Tourmaline in the banished state to the deck!"

"Fusion Summon, once again, appear once again—Gem-Knight Prismaura!"

Swoosh!

Under the thunder, a figure leaped out, from beginning to end, unchanged, firmly guarding Tiancheng Guang's side.

"Wow!"

"Oh——"

"My god, three Fusions, all of them are Prismaura!"

"This, cool—"

Serena was already jumping up and waving her hands excitedly, and her colleagues at the Wind Company couldn't help but applaud wildly.

Ansel's lips twitched.

"You won't forget Prismaura's effect, right?"

Ansel nodded helplessly.

"Discard Gem-Knight Fusion in my hand, destroy your Beast Machine King Barbaros!"

Prismaura slowly raised its long spear, aimed at Barbaros, and then exerted force, throwing it out with a swoosh, knocking Barbaros flying.

"Then, it's not over yet, activate the effect of Diffusion Fusion on the field. When the opponent has a monster on the field, send the Fusion materials from the deck to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon a 【Gem-Knight】 Fusion monster other than Rock-Type!"

Tiancheng Guang raised his lips; "This time, I want to fuse Gem-Knight Aquamarine."

He opened his deck, searched through it, and took out Gem-Knight Sapphire and Gem-Knight Crystal.

Ansel only felt his eyebrows twitching wildly.

When Gem-Knight Aquamarine is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can return 1 card on the opponent's field to the hand.

Gem-Knight Aquamarine, Level 6, Earth Attribute, Aqua-Type, ATK 1400.

"It's about time to end it—" Tiancheng Guang suddenly smiled, "Activate the effect of Gem-Knight Fusion in the Graveyard again, banish Gem-Knight Sapphire in the Graveyard, and take it back to my hand."

Tiancheng Guang gently took Gem-Knight Fusion back into his hand.

At this moment, everyone had that premonition.

"Could it be——"

"Is it possible?"

The crowd exclaimed.

Many students from the Fusion Department stood up directly.

Could it be that monster—

"Activate Normal Spell Card—Gem-Knight Fusion!"

Tiancheng Guang took the monsters on the field and the monsters in his hand: "The Fusion condition is Gem-Knight monsters—three of them!"

"Fuse Gem-Knight Prismaura on the field, Gem-Knight Aquamarine, and Gem-Knight Lapis in my hand!"

"Wow!"

"Whoa——"

"The absolute king shining with brilliance—absorb the power of all your companions, and fuse into your truest form!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"The King of Gem-Knights!"

"The absolute form of the Crystal Knight—"

"Level 9, Gem-Knight Master Diamond!"

Light radiated, and the colorful gems emitted dazzling light.

The heroic knight slowly raised his great sword that had been swung several times against injustice, unfairness, and unrighteousness. The pure white diamond reflected pure light! It erupted with a brilliance brighter than the sun!

Gem-Knight Master Diamond, Level 9, Earth Attribute, Rock-Type, ATK: 2900.

Crystal swung his great sword embedded with gems and stood gently in front of Tiancheng Guang.

"Oh oh oh!!" Judai couldn't help but jump up excitedly, "It's the Knight King! Long time no see!"

"It's the Knight King—" Gloria, who saw this monster in the Resurrection Duelist Hall, couldn't help but clench her fists excitedly.

"Master Diamond, huh... that kid Tiancheng." Seeing Master Diamond, Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu couldn't help but raise his lips, recalling what happened before.

"It's actually the Knight King... you think too highly of me..." Ansel couldn't help but mutter twice.

"Master Diamond's ATK increases by 100 for each Gem-Knight monster in the Graveyard." Tiancheng Guang said softly, "Currently, there are four cards in my Graveyard: Crystal, Aquamarine, Prismaura, and Lapis."

Master Diamond, ATK: 2900 → 3300.

"Also, don't forget Aquamarine's effect. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can return one card on the opponent's field to the hand. I want to choose..." Tiancheng Guang looked at it, then looked at Tiera. Tiera curled her lips, didn't speak, lifted her head slightly, and pointed at Lei Lei with her chin.

It seems to be a card with a spirit.

"Return Lei Lei."

The Knight King swung his great sword, and the sapphire on the great sword emitted light, shining on Lei Lei, causing it to return to Ansel's hand.

"However, in this way, you can't attack." Ansel thought for a moment and continued.

An entertainment duelist cannot shut up when in danger!

"Ha—that's indeed the case, but Master Diamond's effect hasn't been activated yet!"

"Oh? Then, what effect does Master Diamond have!" Ansel asked cooperatively.

Some audience members who had never heard of the Knight King also had their curiosity aroused.

And those like Gloria, Grace, and Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu, who had seen Master Diamond's effect with their own eyes, had already figured out what Tiancheng Guang was going to do.

"Activate the monster effect of Gem-Knight Master Diamond!" Tiancheng Guang raised his hand gently, and a white diamond floated in his hand. The diamond rotated slowly, and every time it rotated, it seemed that different colors flickered, "Once per turn, banish 1 Level 7 or lower Gem-Knight Fusion monster from the Graveyard to activate.

This card gains the same card name and effect as the banished monster until the end of the turn!"

"In the Graveyard... a Level 7 or lower Fusion monster?"

"Card name and effect?"

"Ah—" Ansel exclaimed, "Prismaura!"

"That's right! Activate Master Diamond's effect!" Tiancheng Guang grinned, "Master Diamond banishes Prismaura, gains Prismaura's effect and card name!"

In the Graveyard, Prismaura slowly dissipated. At the same time, on the great sword in Master Diamond's hand, the yellow gem erupted with golden light, and a phantom of Prismaura appeared behind Master Diamond, as if it were itself, performing the same actions.

Gem-Knight Master Diamond → Gem-Knight Prismaura.

Gem-Knight Prismaura, ATK: 3300 → 3200.

"Oh wow!!!!"

Serena was the audience member who understood Tiancheng Guang's thoughts best: "Master has been using Prismaura from beginning to end! Too handsome!"

While all the audience were shocked and confused, her cheer was like thunder on flat ground!

At this moment, everyone understood Tiancheng Guang's idea!

"Then, the effect of Gem-Knight Fusion, banish Lapis in the Graveyard, return it to my hand."

Gem-Knight Prismaura, ATK: 3200 → 3100.

"Wow..."

"Prismaura's effect, can still be used..."

"My god, that means..."

Tiancheng Guang used various Fusion Spell Cards to summon "Gem-Knight Prismaura" from beginning to end and won!

"Brilliant Fusion." Although there was still a Continuous Spell Card on the field, Ansel couldn't help but start applauding.

"Ha, thank you for your duel too." Tiancheng Guang smiled.

Dueling with Ansel didn't have that kind of irritability, which was incredible.

After all, the opponent is a typical trap-oriented duelist.

"Some time ago, you showed the tolerance and changes of Fusion, so what you wanted to show today was the focus of Fusion?" Ansel continued to ask.

"That's right—I believe that as long as you believe in Fusion, as long as you persist in pursuing Fusion, as long as you persist in what you want, everyone will always have the results they desire! So... there is no need to doubt Fusion."

Some duelists who were afraid to use Fusion because of social public opinion, watching Tiancheng Guang use Prismaura again and again, and using various methods to summon Prismaura, and recalling Tiancheng Guang using Avian, Burstinatrix to constantly fuse various Fusion monsters before, finally reignited their passion.

That's right—

There is no need to doubt Fusion!

The wrong one is always the person, not the card!

After Ansel finished asking, he estimated that the audience also knew Tiancheng Guang's thoughts, and finally stretched out his fist and said: "Then, come on!"

"...... Activate Prismaura's effect, once per turn, send a Gem-Knight card to the Graveyard, destroy a face-up card on the field! Send Gem-Knight Fusion to the Graveyard, destroy Messenger of Peace!"

"Then—Prismaura attacks the opponent directly!"

Master Diamond slowly rotated his great sword, and the Prismaura behind him instantly turned into a physical entity, then flew toward the opponent, and gently tapped Ansel on the shoulder with his long spear.

Ansel LP, 3000 → 0.

"Winner, Tiancheng Guang!"
