Chapter 1077: It's Already Too Late

"Overlay the Level 4 'Photon Butterfly Assassin - Papillon' and the Level 4 'Photon Butterfly Assassin - Heroic Emerald Morpho'!"

Droite raised her arms above her head, and two beams of purple light intertwined and rose above her.

"The two monsters build the Overlay Network, Xyz Summon—"

"—Rank 4, Photon Butterfly Assassin!!!"

The vortex opened by the monsters fell to the ground, gathering into a dazzling vortex. Colorful brilliance burst from the center of the vortex, as gorgeous as a kaleidoscope, decorating the entire field like a dream.

At the climax of the most dazzling light, the slender female assassin broke out of the cocoon. She was in black tight-fitting clothes, outlining a graceful curve. A pair of black butterfly wings behind her slowly unfolded, covered with gorgeous purple patterns, like the brightest stars in the night sky, flickering with mysterious brilliance.

She was wearing a black veil, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle. The clothing on her chest was like a blooming flower, her legs were slender and well-proportioned, stepping in the void, her steps light and elegant.

Photon Butterfly Assassin, Xyz Summon!

【Photon Butterfly Assassin, Attack 2100】

"You've appeared, your Xyz monster."

Fujiki You Xuan tilted his head in a reminiscent manner, as if thinking for a moment.

"Well, speaking of which, you don't seem to be very good."

"What?" Droite was angry at this provocation.

"Because you..."

Fujiki You Xuan narrowed his eyes. At this moment, Droite only felt that the other party's gaze was like a pair of sharp blades, and she seemed to be naked in front of him, seen through inside and out.

"... seem to have no 'Numbers'."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled leisurely.

Only then did he remember that Droite didn't seem to have used "Numbers" in the original work. She might be a relatively important pawn as a confidant of Dr. Ficker, but she couldn't resist the erosion of "Numbers" on her soul and spirit, so she simply didn't use them.

Among the subordinates of Dr. Ficker's camp, only one man could manipulate "Numbers" at will without being eroded, and could even manipulate multiple "Numbers" at the same time without losing himself.

That is Dr. Ficker's biological son, the legendary second male lead of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Kite Tenjo, known as the "Number Hunter," a legendary second male lead whom the protagonist Yuma Tsukumo didn't beat even once until the finale.

By the way, Kite is also Droite's secret crush.

Droite felt again that she had been underestimated.

She was a bit unhappy, hummed low, and continued: "You don't need the power of 'Numbers' to deal with you."

Still in the backward version of the Fusion generation, wouldn't she, coming from the Xyz era, be like returning to ancient times with a pistol? What "Numbers" would she need?

"I activate the monster effect of 'Photon Butterfly Assassin'!"

Droite said.

"Detach one Xyz material, change the opponent's Defense Position monster to Attack Position, and that monster's Attack decreases by 600!"

The wings of the Photon Butterfly Assassin trembled, and among the two purple light spheres surrounding her, the one on the left turned into a vortex-like energy stream. She gracefully raised her right hand wearing black arm armor and absorbed the energy into her palm, and the purple light patterns flickered under her skin along her blood vessels.

The Oppressed People were crouching behind the dilapidated shield, suddenly locked by the purple light bursting from the eyes of the Butterfly Assassin. Transparent purple energy turned into chains, wrapping around the refugee's hands and feet, forcing this poor person with a hunched back to stagger and stand up. His decaying shield shattered into fragments during the forced standing process.

The wings of the Photon Butterfly Assassin were fully stretched, and those purple patterns flickered with the rhythm of energy release, as if releasing invisible fluctuations to suppress the refugee, causing his power to be further weakened. 【Oppressed People, Attack 400 → Attack 0】

"Another battle position change," Fujiki You Xuan said, "It seems that these butterflies are a deck with position manipulation as the core tactic."

"Exactly."

Droite sneered.

"In front of the assassin, blind dodging and defense will only lead to death faster.

Go, Photon Butterfly Assassin, attack 'Oppressed People'!"

The wings of the Photon Butterfly Assassin suddenly closed, and metallic scales drew a purple trajectory in the air. She crossed her hands in front of her chest, and then two ring-shaped double blades fell into her hands, the edges of the blades glowing with ominous purple light. With an elegant swinging action, the double blades shot out in a spiral shape.

However, at the moment before the double blades were about to hit, a halo appeared under the refugee's feet, and then his figure became illusory. But with a flash of a human figure, just a moment later, the witch praying with her eyes closed appeared where the refugee was originally.

【Witch of the Black Forest, Attack 1100】

The double blades swirled and cut through, cutting through the witch's throat and waist, leaving two long red cracks. The witch exploded into fragments the next moment.

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP2200 → LP1200】

Droite: "Nani? The one I attacked was clearly..."

"Because I activated the Trap card 'Shift'." Fujiki You Xuan pointed to the Trap that was fading and disappearing beside him, "Shift can be activated when your monster becomes the target of a Spell or Trap card, or the attack target of an opponent's monster.

You can swap the position of the locked monster with another monster on the field, and freely designate another monster to bear the attack."

Fujiki You Xuan followed with a golden light in the Graveyard, and the phantom of the Witch of the Black Forest that had just been destroyed appeared above.

"The monster effect of Witch of the Black Forest triggers; when this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can add a monster with 1500 or less Defense from my deck to my hand."

The semi-transparent body of the Witch of the Black Forest was shrouded in ghostly green phosphorus fire, and dark purple magic threads were wrapped around her pale fingers. As she began to chant in an ancient spell, a purple light burst from Fujiki You Xuan's deck, and a card was automatically popped out as if pulled by an invisible hand. It drew a perfect arc while rotating in the air and landed steadily in Fujiki You Xuan's hand.

"From the deck, this card," Fujiki You Xuan showed the monster card he retrieved to his hand with a smile, "the monster 'United Resistance' with 400 Defense, added to my hand."

Droite frowned.

Another ancient old card, also a vanilla monster without any effects.

However, although they are all vanilla monsters, from "Oppressed People" to "Wandering Refugees" drawn in the previous turn, to "United Resistance" in this turn...

They are all monsters of the same style, and it seems that there is some kind of connection.

For some reason, Droite began to feel irritable, but couldn't say where the irritability came from.

But it didn't matter, Fujiki You Xuan quickly revealed the root of this irritability for her.

"It seems that your instinct as a duelist has begun to notice something."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"But even if you notice it now, it might already be too late." ===== CHAPTER 1078 =====
