Chapter 1084: Number Hunter

"Your mission, huh. That's really simple and direct." Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

Indeed, Kite was a villain who carried sins when he first appeared in this role. He hunted down everyone who held "Number" cards, and while taking away the "Numbers" cards, he would also take away the other party's soul. Although most of them were evil people, there should also be many people who were affected by "Numbers" and had their dark sides magnified.

Kite himself also understood that he had committed no small sins during the hunt, and had taken away too many souls. It was just that in order for his brother Hart to be saved, he had long been prepared to turn into a demon.

So he didn't care who the target was or who the opponent was. He only needed to know his mission, and know that completing the mission could help Hart be saved; that was enough.

"Duel!" x2

【Fujiki You Xuan, LP4000】

【Kite, LP4000】

"I'll take the first turn!" As the challenger, Kite started first, "My turn, draw card!"

He waved his hand and played a card from his hand.

"Activate Spell card 'Photon Lead' from my hand!

This card can only be activated when there are no monsters on my field; I can Special Summon a Level 4, Light-attribute, Warrior-type monster from my deck!" (Original effect)

The physical card was changed to only be able to summon "Photon" or "Galaxy" monsters, adding a field restriction. Although the anime didn't have field restrictions, it limited the race and attribute.

And because this card is Kite's exclusive card in the anime, and Kite's deck basically only has Galaxy and Photon cards, the actual use is not much different from the physical card.

Kite: "According to its effect, I Special Summon 'Photon Crusher' from my deck!"

The red light stream rotated like liquid flame in the center of the field, instantly forming an energy vortex with a diameter of three meters. Golden sparks splashed on the edge of the vortex, and when the rotation speed reached the critical point, a beam of light suddenly pierced the center of the vortex. "Photon Crusher" squeezed the light curtain with its silver-white long sword, and the moment it broke out, the vortex of Photon Lead seemed to explode into crystals filling the sky.

【Photon Crusher, Attack 1700】

"The monster effect of Photon Crusher, when this card is successfully Special Summoned, I can Special Summon any number of cards with the same name from my hand."

Kite raised the card in his hand high.

"I Special Summon two other 'Photon Crushers' from my hand!"

Two more lights flew out from his hand, landing on both sides, each changing into the appearance of a "Photon Crusher."

【Photon Crusher, Attack 1700】 x2

"Summoning three monsters at once, and without using a Normal Summon!" Jonouchi expressed shock, "Wouldn't this be able to summon the Egyptian God?"

You know, in those years, everyone tried all kinds of ways to gather the three Tributes of the God. Now that the version has changed, the boy opposite jumping out three Tributes in one turn feels as easy as eating and drinking...

"No, it won't work." Fujiki You Xuan smiled and said, "In the turn when the Spell card 'Photon Lead' is activated, the controller cannot perform a Normal Summon, so this combination of summoning a God cannot be done."

Jonouchi: "Th... that's how it is..."

Kite: "Although I don't know what you are chirping about, do you still have the leisure to look around in a duel with me?"

Fujiki You Xuan yawned lazily: "Because when the opponent is playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, it's usually very boring here..."

After all, Yu-Gi-Oh! is a very cruel game; only one person can play at a time. So when the opponent is playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, isn't it very normal for me to boil some water, eat something, or go to the bathroom?

Well, of course, that's a later era of storytelling. The Xyz era was actually quite slow, and the entire competitive environment was BEAT-oriented, far from entering the super-speed period of modern Yu-Gi-Oh! where everyone tells stories for ten minutes.

"I Overlay the three Level 4 'Photon Crushers' on the field!"

Kite raised his arms high, his voice loud. "The summoning condition is three Level 4 monsters! Xyz Summon—"

"—Rank 4, Number 10: Illumiknight!!!"

The Xyz vortex opened, and the three Photon Crushers turned into Xyz materials and merged into the swirling vortex. Chaotic energy exploded, and Number 10: Illumiknight descended with the dawn. His pure white armor flowed with the luster of mother-of-pearl, and the "Number 10" mark on his shoulder armor seemed to be burning. When the armored warhorse raised its front hooves, the friction between the horseshoes and the air sparked, and fragments of light crystals drifted between the snow-white mane.

The long sword in the knight's hand began to hum, and every inch of the blade's movement left frost marks in the air. Two platinum-colored light streams sprayed from the cracks in the helmet's eye area, like the first ray of sunlight piercing the night fog at dawn.

【Number 10: Illumiknight, Attack 2400】

"It appeared, Xyz monster, and it's a 'Number'." Jonouchi muttered, "Indeed a very strong aura..."

"The effect of Number 10: Illumiknight triggers, once per turn, detach one Xyz material, I can discard one card from my hand, and then draw one card from the deck."

The white knight raised his long sword, and an Xyz material disappeared on his sword as if automatically adsorbed. Kite quickly picked out a card from his hand and discarded it, then drew a card.

"Finally, set two cards, turn end."

"Summoning a 'No.' on the very first turn—as expected of the 'No. Hunter,' coming in strong right from the start."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

It's just that in his view, for Number 10: Illumiknight, which requires three monsters as materials, its Attack panel and effects don't quite match this summoning condition.

"Then my turn, draw card."

This time Fujiki You Xuan also drew a brand new deck, although it was still a semi-finished product and not 100% complete, it already had complete combat power. He brought it out from the Kaiba Corp laboratory late last night, and Fujiki You Xuan considered putting it into actual combat today.

"First activate Spell card 'TakeOver5', send the top five cards of the deck to the Graveyard."

Fujiki You Xuan drew five cards and sent them to the Graveyard.

"Then the first is this soul card, come—"

"—Summon Inzektor Dragonfly!"

An emerald energy vortex suddenly exploded in the air, and Inzektor Dragonfly flew out from the summoning vortex. Her red armor glowed with metallic buzzing in the light of the summoning array, and her pair of transparent insect wings flapped at high frequency when unfolded, cutting the surrounding floating dust into golden light particles. The compound eye goggles flashed with data torrents, seemingly assisting the firearm in her hand to lock onto the target.

【Inzektor Dragonfly, Attack 1000】

"Inzektor?" Jonouchi on the side said, "Another series I haven't heard of, is this the new series you were developing with Kaiba?"

"You could say that." Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

And Dragonfly is the soul of this Inzektor deck.

If you ask why...

"The effect of Inzektor Dragonfly triggers!" Fujiki You Xuan said, "Once per turn, you can equip a monster with 'Inzektor' in its name from your hand or Graveyard to this card as an Equip Card!" ===== CHAPTER 1085 =====
