Chapter 427: Awakening

Wearing a golden crown, with gorgeous armor on his body and a halo of light shining behind him, a crimson divine bird flew from afar, emitting bursts of chirping.

Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry, Level 2, Wind Attribute, Winged Beast-Type, ATK 1000.

Kaiser looked at this scene in surprise.

He knew that Chui Xue had always been affected by darkness, so when he dueled before, the cards in his deck would be automatically replaced with Red-Eyes series cards.

Although Chui Xue slowly overcame this point, he never expected that Chui Xue was now wearing the mask of darkness, and could still resist this influence, and even... used cards he had never used before!

The divine bird flew to the ground, rubbed against Chui Xue gently, and Chui Xue said "thank you" to it, and then continued to open his mouth: "The monster effect of Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry, can only be activated when this card is Summoned successfully. Add 1 【Simorgh】 card other than Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry from your deck to your hand."

"I will... add Simorgh of Ancestry to my hand!"

It's actually Simorgh of Ancestry!?

Many spirits were surprised.

This seems to be the leader of the Simorgh clan, right?

However, the monster has already been Normal Summoned, so what's the point of adding it to the hand?

"Activate Field Spell Card, Elborz, the Sacred Land of Simorgh!"

The strong wind whistled, the clouds rolled, and a large mountain slowly rose from the four sides of the duel field.

Wow.

Tiancheng Guang watched curiously from the side.

Unlike Tiancheng Guang who runs around and adventures, most people who travel through dimensions will explore in some fixed places. Even Chui Xue, who aims to be a photographer, hasn't run to so many places.

After all, on one hand, he also has to collect cards, and on the other hand, he doesn't have Tiancheng Guang's dimensional gate technology.

For a few months before the tournament, Chui Xue had been visiting the mountain. Relying on his good image and the record of defeating the guardian of the mountain, plus he was very good to children, he finally got new power and the coordinates of this mountain.

It seems that Chui Xue really hasn't been idle.

"As long as this card is on the field, the ATK and DEF of Winged Beast/Wind Attribute monsters increase by 300."

"Then... " Chui Xue slowly showed the Simorgh card in his hand to his opponent, "Once per turn, show a Level 5 or higher Winged Beast/Wind Attribute monster in your hand to activate. This turn, you can reduce the sacrifice required for the Tribute Summon of a Winged Beast monster by 1!"

"Wait... this effect, could it be." Kaiser realized the meaning of this sentence.

Since it is to reduce materials, then...

"That's right. Exactly. The 3rd effect of Elborz, the Sacred Land of Simorgh! Activate when there is a Winged Beast/Wind Attribute monster on your field. Summon 1 Winged Beast monster!

I use Simorgh, Bird of Ancestry as a sacrifice, Tribute Summon—

The hegemon who calls the strong wind, welcome the arrival, call the divine wind!

Tribute Summon!

Level 8, Simorgh of Ancestry!"

Golden feathers fell from the sky, and a cry sounded. A giant bird with golden wings and a rotating halo of divine light behind it slowly descended.

Simorgh of Ancestry, Level 8, Wind Attribute, Winged Beast-Type, ATK 2900 → 3200.

"It's actually this kind of effect!" Kaiser realized the bad part in an instant.

Simorgh of Ancestry, as a classic card, many people know it.

Treated as a Normal monster in the hand, as long as it is on the field, the sacrifice required for the Tribute Summon of Wind Attribute is reduced by one—that is to say, as long as Elborz and Simorgh are on the field, can't you Tribute Summon a high-level monster without sacrifices once per turn?!

More importantly, Simorgh of Ancestry also has an effect!

"The monster effect of Simorgh of Ancestry, when Tribute Summoned using only Wind Attribute monsters as sacrifices, up to two cards on the opponent's field return to the owner's hand."

Chui Xue slowly moved his arm and pointed slowly at Kaiser's field: "What I want to choose is... Cyber Dragon Nova on the field, and your Cyber Twin Dragon!"

The strong wind whistled, and the violent wind turned into a tornado, rolling onto the two different models of Cyber Dragons on the field. The two Cyber Dragons struggled left and right, trying their best to struggle, but in the end, they were still blown by the strong wind and returned to his deck.

Kaiser's expression was slightly stiff.

"Hiss... in this way, use Simorgh to attack Cyber Eltanin, then use Yin Liuxing Black Dragon to attack directly, Chui Xue will win!?"

"This is also too exaggerated, that Senior Chui Xue is actually suppressing Kaiser!"

"Not only that, but from beginning to end, all of Kaiser's actions were not beyond Chui Xue's expectations—"

At this moment, everyone could finally realize that Chui Xue's "king" who is on par with Kaiser in the Duel Academy is not blown out!

"Battle, Ryo!" Chui Xue's black flames burned fiercely, even burning his clothes red, "Simorgh attacks Cyber Eltanin!"

The divine bird got up, and the golden feathers on its body shot at Eltanin like rain. In just a short while, Eltanin turned into waste and disappeared from the world.

"Then, Yin Liuxing Black Comet Dragon attacks directly!"

Yin Liuxing Black Dragon's ATK is now 4100!

If the direct attack is successful, then Kaiser will undoubtedly lose!

"Open the set card! Trap Card, Cybernetic Overflow!"

"Banish any number of 【Cyber Dragon】 from your hand/Graveyard, and from your face-up monsters on your field. Then, destroy the same number of cards on the opponent's field!"

On the card image, electric light emerged from the body of Cyber Dragon, as if it would collapse at any time.

Just like Kaiser now.

"Cybernetic Overflow. Are you going to banish the cards in your hand?" Chui Xue saw this card, but wasn't surprised.

He was indeed prepared.

"No, I want to banish Cyber Dragon in the Graveyard!"

"Graveyard?" There should be no Cyber Dragon in Kaiser's Graveyard.

Or is it...

"Yes." Kaiser showed a stubborn smile on his face, "The Xyz monster leaves the field and returns to the Extra Deck, but its Xyz materials will enter the Graveyard."

Chui Xue frowned slightly. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, so Kaiser didn't notice this.

He made a slight mistake.

This couldn't be helped. He had never seen Xyz monsters, so he didn't handle the details well.

"Banish Cyber Dragon in the Graveyard, destroy Yin Liuxing Black Dragon on your field!"

A Cyber Dragon full of electric current flew out from the Graveyard, howling and rushing towards Yin Liuxing Black Dragon. Only hearing a sizzling sound,

"Good!"

"That survives this turn!"

Many in the audience were sweating, no longer even thinking about which handsome guy they were supporting.

"Heh—indeed, by using this method, you destroyed Yin Liuxing Black Dragon, but don't forget, Yin Liuxing Black Dragon still has an effect!"

"Ngh..."

"Yin Liuxing Black Dragon's monster effect: If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, target 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard and activate this effect. Special Summon that monster!"

"Ugh!"

"Come forth, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"

A pillar of fire erupted once again.

The black dragon officially entered this duel!

Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 2400.

"Monsters Special Summoned during the Battle Phase can declare an attack. I use Red-Eyes Black Dragon to attack you directly!"

"Inferno Fire Blast!"

Red-Eyes Black Dragon took a deep breath, then spat out a black fireball. Aided by the storm, the fireball flew toward Kaiser almost instantly.

"Aaaaaah—"

The flames hit Kaiser head-on. In an instant, the piercing pain tore through his body, mind, and soul. His white photonic suit flickered, as if it could barely withstand the attack.

Maruto Ryo, LP: 3900 → 1500.

Kaiser fell to one knee, the flames spreading across him, burning him, turning his skin red and even splitting it into wounds.

"Ryo!"

"Kaiser!"

Asuka, Manjoume, and the others cried out!

"Lord Kaiser!!!" some of Kaiser's female fans screamed.

"Brother!" Maruto Sho wished he could press his face into the screen and teleport through it.

Kaiser slowly regained his senses. He struggled to stand up, cold sweat running down his forehead, yet a smile hung on his face as he stubbornly said, "Hmph, doesn't hurt at all."

"Ha... I really love that stubborn attitude of yours. I set one card and end my turn." Fubuki laughed heartily.

Kaiser looked at that set card.

Fubuki had two set cards in total. One was undoubtedly "Red-Eyes Burn," which he had used just now to send Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the Graveyard to keep Yin Liuxing Black Dragon's combat capability going while searching for a card. If he remembered correctly, the effect of Red-Eyes Burn was that if you controlled a Red-Eyes monster, you could revive 1 Normal Monster from your Graveyard.

Perhaps Fubuki's deck still contained some high-level Winged Beast-Type Normal Monsters.

And the other card had never been used.

"My turn, draw."

He looked at the card in his hand, his expression grim.

"I activate the Spell Card, Graceful Charity. Draw three cards, then discard two."

He drew three more cards, but his expression didn't improve much.

That guy Fubuki had calculated everything; he would have to use cards he rarely used or had never used before.

He glanced at the Cyberdark series, took a deep breath, and said, "I discard Cyberdark Horn and Cyberdark Keel, then, I summon Cyber Valley in Defense Position."

A lifeless-looking mechanical dragon slowly rose from the ground.

Cyber Valley, Level 1, Light Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK/DEF 0.

Having failed to draw a card that could turn the tide, he could only find a way to drag it out further.

"I set one card and end my turn."

He panted heavily. He could feel the razor-sharp gale in the air, and he could also feel the scorching, rising flames.

He thought about Fubuki's words and pondered Fubuki's actions.

Although he didn't know what Darkness was, Fubuki had truly demonstrated that even when using the power of Darkness, one could still force their own cards to be used with their own will.

And thinking of himself...

Hadn't he also relied on his own consciousness and photonic equipment during this time to capture a Fusion Army soldier who used a Number?

It was just... he had never thought about what was going on with the Underworld Cyber style!
