Chapter 1175: Machine Angel

Kagurazaka, or rather the Barian behind him, was breathing long breaths.

It wasn't over yet, he hadn't finished... no, it should be said that it hadn't even started at all.

He felt abnormally irritable. He couldn't even do the simplest Xyz; it felt as if the duel hadn't started at all. The most ironic thing was that he might have to be finished off while maintaining this state of not having started at all.

What kind of cross-dimensional joke is this?

He, a dignified Barian, crossed dimensions full of confidence, thinking that as soon as he made a move, he could prove the essential difference between them Barians and those previous trash humans, but now it seemed he was going to be even trashier than those previous trash humans!?

Thinking of this, his momentum instantly soared. Kagurazaka raised his arm high, and a silhouette similar to a cross-shaped black mark seemed to flash behind him. That silhouette turned into pure energy and stacked onto him, turning into a burning draw!

"My turn, draw!!!"

Fujiki You Xuan watched that draw, which seemed to have been charged to the absolute limit, and muttered to himself: "Are all Barian people like this? Exploding with power right from the start?"

The momentum had already fast-forwarded to the "God Draw" stage.

This draw was really awesome, directly hitting the mark, so precise that Fujiki You Xuan suspected whether this was a God Draw or printed on the spot.

Kagurazaka: "Activate the Spell Card 'Return!'.

This card can select 1 monster on the opponent's field whose original owner is yourself. You gain control of that monster. And, the activation and effect of this effect cannot be targeted by the opponent's effect monster effects!" (Anime card)

ZEXAL original anime card, which Tsukumo Yuma had used when his Hope was "cowed."

Kagurazaka laughed loudly: "My Undead Warrior, give it back to me!"

So the "cowed" Undead Warrior seemed to suddenly wake up, shook his head, surprised to find himself on the opponent's field, and hurriedly flew back to his master's field.

Kagurazaka: "Next, I Normal Summon 'Goodwill Knight'!"

The knight's armor was like it had been tempered by moonlight, and cold light like mercury flowed on the armor. The monster card emerged from the field, and the knight stepped out from the card art, the metal boots colliding with the ground with a clear clanging sound. That sharp-horned helmet that completely hid his face hung slightly, the knight holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, the arc of the blade passing through the air leaving a glowing trail.

【Goodwill Knight, ATK 1200】

"Level 3 monsters, there are two." Astral said, "It seems it's still coming."

Sure enough, Kagurazaka then said: "I stack the Level 3 'Undead Warrior' and 'Goodwill Knight'! Build an overlay network with two monsters, Xyz Summon—"

"—Machine Angel: Engine Soldier!!!"

The air was torn apart by the roar of an engine. The Gearfried Angel Engine Soldier descended from the void, carrying a heavy engine roar. The airflow it stirred up rolled into a spiral vortex, and two Xyz Materials circled and roamed around its body like star rings.

【Machine Angel: Engine Soldier, ATK 1800】

"This is that guy's Xyz monster," Yuma was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "Huh, but this Barian doesn't seem to be using a Number..."

Astral said: "This person is not the Barian main body, just manipulated behind the scenes. This duel has an element of probing, the other side probably doesn't want to take the risk of the Number being taken away."

Yuma: "Oh, oh, so that's it."

After all, if the duel failed, the Number card used would probably be taken away, which was a bit of a loss even for Barians.

He thought for a moment, lowered his voice and asked Astral: "Then you say, the Barian manipulating behind the scenes, could it be the one we just fought..." "Mm." Astral nodded, "I'm thinking the same thing, very likely."

"Finally summoned your Xyz, not easy, not easy." Fujiki You Xuan smiled, "But that monster doesn't seem to be able to beat Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon, what are you going to do next?"

Kagurazaka sneered: "You seem to have started to understand the power of Xyz in this dimension, but what you know is only the tip of the iceberg. Let me show you the true power of Xyz."

"Activate the face-down card, Trap Card 'Xyz Effect'!"

His back-row trap flipped open, and the Machine Angel just summoned seemed to respond immediately, releasing golden light all over. That light gathered in mid-air, as if turning into a piercing spear, piercing through the chest of the Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon.

"Xyz Effect is, can be activated when you perform an Xyz Summon, destroying a card on the field!" Kagurazaka said, "Directly turning Xyz itself into a weapon of attack!"

Clap clap clap.

Fujiki You Xuan applauded: "Is this Barian's understanding of Xyz? Amazing, amazing."

"Battle." Kagurazaka said, "Machine Angel: Engine Soldier, direct attack!"

Two long cannon barrels protruded from the sides of the Engine Soldier's shoulder armor, the muzzles rotating, and the dazzling golden light condensed into a scorching white core. Two rays shot out, colliding violently in mid-air, merging into a golden river of light with a diameter of over three meters.

But the moment before the torrent hit, it was suddenly blocked in front of Fujiki You Xuan, as if it had hit an umbrella?

Kagurazaka: "Nani?"

Only to see countless bats flying out from Fujiki You Xuan's field, the bat swarm spreading out like black gauze, and the beautiful girl's toes touched the ground first. Pale to almost transparent skin, she lifted her skirt in a posture like taking a bow, the lace edge of the gothic long dress rippling with the movement, revealing perfectly lined legs.

"The effect of Vampire Fraulein in my hand," Fujiki You Xuan said, "When Fraulein is attacked, she can be Special Summoned from the hand in Defense Position."

【Vampire Fraulein, DEF 2000】

Fraulein's parasol opened with a 'click' on her shoulder, she looked up slightly, her scarlet pupils lighting up in the shadow under the umbrella, and the corner of her mouth revealed a sly smile. She gently waved the pitch-black umbrella surface, and the golden torrent of the Machine Angel was brushed aside.

The vampire girl yawned lazily and looked at Fujiki You Xuan: "Haven't been out for fresh air in a long time... Master owes me one again."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled, not minding.

"Tch, still hiding a back-hand in your hand... then because a new monster appeared, the battle rewinded and the attack was canceled."

Kagurazaka gave the order, the dual cannons of the Machine Angel extinguished, and the spiral golden light dissipated in the barrels.

Machine Angel was a defensive monster, and as a Level 3 Xyz, its attack power was only 1800, unable to break through Vampire Fraulein's defense line.

Directly ending the Battle Phase, Kagurazaka drew another card from his hand and inserted it into the duel disk.

"Set one card, turn end." ===== CHAPTER 1176 =====
