Chapter 1245

Kaiba: "My turn, draw!"

He added the drawn card to his hand, then without a second thought picked out another card from his hand, briefly displayed it, and sent it straight to the Graveyard.

"Activating the effect of 'Sage with Eyes of Blue' in my hand!" Kaiba said, "Discard this card directly from my hand to target one Effect Monster on my field.

Send the targeted monster to the Graveyard, and Special Summon one 'Blue-Eyes' monster from my deck!"

That card was discarded, and the image of the blue-robed sage appeared above Kaiba's head. The sage held a staff, blue ribbons fluttering, with long silver-blue hair, his figure illusory.

"The one I want to target is the 'Maiden with Eyes of Blue' on my field." Kaiba said, "I send the 'Maiden with Eyes of Blue' on my field and the 'Sage with Eyes of Blue' in my hand to the Graveyard together, and I can Special Summon any Blue-Eyes monster from my deck!

The one I want to Special Summon is this guy, appear, Bai Bai Linglong!"

Kaiba raised his arm, and a white light flew out from the deck loaded on his Duel Disk, suddenly spreading transparent, dreamlike bone wings, riding a whirlwind to descend onto the field.

【Bai Bai Linglong, ATK 2500】

"White Spirit?" Darkness said, "A variant of Blue-Eyes?"

His tone was filled with a trace of disgust.

This was no wonder. Darkness is the embodiment of darkness; he hates the legendary light dragons like the Blue-Eyes White Dragon series, which all represent ultimate light and tear through darkness, the most.

"Also, the moment it was sent to the Graveyard by Sage with Eyes of Blue just now, the effect of Maiden with Eyes of Blue also activated." Kaiba said, "When Maiden with Eyes of Blue is targeted by a card effect, I can choose one 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my hand, deck, or Graveyard to Special Summon!

Crossing three thousand years of time, tearing through the darkness with ultimate light—

——Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!!"

A blue-cyan pillar of light shot into the sky, the dragon's wings scattered the light curtain, and the dragon's mouth seemed to be spitting lightning, spraying an endless pillar of light toward the sky.

【Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000】

"Appearing so quickly, Blue-Eyes." Darkness said gloomily, "An eyesore of a light dragon."

"Hmph, although I don't know what you're planning, you started with a Field Spell and set five cards from your deck right away. I guess that Field Spell must be the core of your deck, right?" Kaiba sneered.

Darkness clicked his tongue and did not retort.

Kaiba Seto's experience is indeed terrifying. Even though it was their first battle and he hadn't even begun to show how his deck worked, the opponent had already seen through it.

Indeed, this Darkness Field Spell is both the core and the weakness. Although pulling out five traps with one card is extremely overbearing, as a trade-off, if the Field Spell "Darkness" leaves the field, all Spell and Trap cards in the back row will also be destroyed, and his formation will collapse directly.

"Bai Bai Linglong's effect: when this card is Normal or Special Summoned, target one 'Spell or Trap card' on the opponent's field and banish that card directly from the game."

Kaiba reached out and pointed directly at the Field Spell that was already invisible in the void.

"Banish the Field Spell 'Darkness' directly from the game!"

Bai Bai Linglong erupted with white light, a translucent white light blooming and gathering toward the blurry outline of the Darkness Field Spell in the void.

"This guy, aiming for my Darkness Field Spell right from the start..."

Darkness gloomily pointed at one of the several cards floating in his hand, and that card immediately flipped over to reveal itself; it was actually a monster card.

"Effect of Herald of Orange Light activates." Darkness said, "When the opponent activates a monster effect, send this card and one Fairy-type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to negate that activation and destroy it."

As he spoke, Herald of Orange Light and another card in Darkness's hand had already crumbled and disappeared together. At the same time, the fire-colored angel flapping its wings was clearly an angel, but in Darkness's hand, it seemed to have been stained with a layer of darkness, as if it were polluted, as if it were covered by a layer of pitch-black mist.

"Negate the effect of Bai Bai Linglong and destroy it!"

That black mist surged out, and the light released by Bai Bai Linglong immediately dimmed and disappeared in an explosion.

"I see, after all, it's a tactical key card, so there are some protective measures." Kaiba didn't mind and just smiled, "Then, I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn yet.

I summon this card from my hand, 'The White Stone of Ancients'!"

Kaiba set another card down, and a white stone emitting a dazzling radiance was summoned out. Although it was called a stone, its entire body was as crystalline as jade, without a single flaw, looking more like a meticulously carved work of art.

【The White Stone of Ancients, ATK 600】

Darkness: "A level one monster, and in attack position again..."

But he saw Kaiba pause for a moment, the corners of his mouth lifting to reveal a cold sneer.

Following this, he raised his arm high: "This is the new power of the White Dragon, watch closely!

I use the level one 'The White Stone of Ancients'! The level eight 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'! Tuning!"

The researchers responsible for the Blue-Eyes engine behind him were all shocked: "Tuning? The President is going to...!?"

Darkness was also shocked: "Synchro Summon of Blue-Eyes White Dragon?"

"The intertwining of past and future, the sleeping dragon soul awakens here! Synchro Summon!"

Kaiba spread his arms, tilted his head back, and shouted at the top of his lungs, as if he had truly poured his own soul into this summon.

"Level nine! Appear—

——Blue-Eyes Bai Bai Linglong!!!"

The White Dragon transformed into eight stars in a row, a blue halo enveloped those eight stars, and the pillar of light pierced through heaven and earth. The pure white dragon, as if translucent, descended amidst the starlight, dragon wings spread, starlight scattering, dreamlike and illusory.

【Blue-Eyes Bai Bai Linglong, ATK 2500】

"Blue-Eyes Bai Bai Linglong, a Synchro of Blue-Eyes?"

Darkness instinctively raised an arm to block in front of him: "Damn it, the light is getting more and more dazzling. As expected, whether it's you or Blue-Eyes, Kaiba Seto, I cannot let you continue to evolve like this."

He originally hated Blue-Eyes, this ancient dragon of light, and now he only hated it even more.

"Battle!" Kaiba said, "Blue-Eyes Bai Bai Linglong, attack 'Darkness Eye'!"

Countless flying light particles gathered from all directions into the mouth of Blue-Eyes Bai Bai Linglong, as if transforming into a rushing torrent of light, exploding toward that wide-open eye.

"An expected attack." Darkness said, "At this moment, I activate my face-down card, the Continuous Trap 'Void'!"

One of the five face-down cards in Darkness's back row flipped over.

Kaiba revealed an interested expression: "Oh? Are you going to attack?"

"At the same time, my other face-down card also activates." Another of Darkness's five back-row cards flipped open, "Continuous Trap 'Infinity'!"

The two face-down cards were on the left and right, releasing chain lightning that echoed between them. Following this, as if pulled by that lightning, a card set between these two cards also flipped over.

"In the case where both Void and Infinity are active, all cards set between these two cards activate." Darkness said, "At this time, the card set between Void and Infinity is this card..."

The chain lightning pulled, and the face-down card in the middle was also forced to flip and activate.

"Continuous Trap 'Darkness 1' activates!"
