Chapter 1312: One-Turn Kill

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Unit 2, Summon!

"Of course, the second Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon summoned through Atum's effect also has 0 ATK, but its monster effect is still valid!" Kujo said, "Therefore, I will activate the effect of Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Unit 2 again!"

"Once per turn, I can Special Summon a Dragon-type monster from my hand or graveyard."

"I Special Summon 'Wattaildragon' from my graveyard once again!"

Wattaildragon, which had repeatedly entered the graveyard, was dragged out and returned to the field again, its body crackling with transparent electricity.

【Wattaildragon, ATK 2500】

Jonouchi felt that he was almost becoming numb.

To summon such high-level monsters back so casually, doesn't it make himself, who just spent half his hand to bring out one Red-Eyes Black Dragon, look a bit stupid?

However, logically speaking, although he used up three cards in his hand, he originally felt that being able to summon a high-level ace like Red-Eyes Black Dragon in the first turn already made him a leader among duelists.

But now, in comparison, the opponent could jump out with so many high-level monsters in the blink of an eye; the speed was terrifying.

No, he couldn't lose his composure.

Jonouchi shook his head and slapped his cheeks to force himself to cheer up.

He, Jonouchi Katsuya, was a man who had even faced the wrath of a god. Back then, with just a little more willpower, he almost even took down the Winged Dragon of Ra, known as the strongest of the Egyptian Gods.

Whatever fancy tricks he has, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Kujo: "Then I overlay the two Level 10 'Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragons', the two monsters construct the Overlay Network, Xyz Summon—"

"—Rank 10! Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max!!!"

A long railway was laid out with a clatter in the vortex of overlapping light. The pitch-black train rumbled down the tracks, transformed rapidly after landing, the cannon clicked into place, and the crosshairs locked onto the target.

【Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max, ATK 3000】

Jonouchi: "Whoa, another incredible thing came out. What is this again?"

"Don't be anxious, I'll let you die knowing clearly right now!" Kujo laughed wildly, "It's not over yet. Sacred Dragon King - Atum cannot attack in the turn its effect is activated, so the two Sacred Dragon Kings on my field cannot attack this turn. But it doesn't matter!"

As he said this, his Extra Deck clicked open, and Kujo drew another Xyz monster card from the Extra Deck to show it.

"'Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger' is a Rank 7 Xyz, but it can also be overlaid on top of a Rank 5 or Rank 6 Xyz monster on my field to directly perform a Rank-Up Summon!"

As he said this, his fingers crossed, and another card appeared behind the card he showed. It turned out that what he showed were actually two Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Chargers.

"I overlay the two Rank 6 'Sacred Dragon King - Atum' on my field separately, Rank-Up Xyz transformation—"

"—Rank 7, Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger, both of them Rank-Up Summoned together!"

The two Dragon Kings disappeared in the vortex of the Rank-Up. The Gaia warrior clad in armor rode on a war dragon. The dragon let out a hiss and roar, its red battle armor reflecting golden light, and its wings flapped to create a transparent whirlwind as it descended.

【Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger, ATK 2600】 x2

"Rank-Up Xyz... what is this again?" Jonouchi remained confused.

But he only understood one thing: the opponent's lineup was becoming more and more luxurious, and his situation was becoming more dangerous.

Only at this moment did Kujo Mahiru's storytelling finally finish.

Briefly summarize the process and the final field.

Special Summon Tefnuit, tribute Tefnuit to fly out Su from the deck, when Tefnuit is tributed, fly Wattaildragon from the deck, use Wattaildragon and Tefnuit to overlay to get the first Atum.

Atum detaches material to fly out Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Darkness Metal Dragon's effect revives Wattaildragon from the graveyard, then Normal Summon Eset, overlay to get Atum Unit 2. Atum Unit 2 Special Summons Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon Unit 2, Darkness Metal Dragon revives Wattaildragon, the two Darkness Metal Dragons overlay to get the cannon.

Finally, the two Atum Dragon Kings that cannot attack transform into Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger.

So in the end, his final field got one cannon, two Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Chargers, and one Wattaildragon. It was more than enough to take him out in one wave.

"First, activate the effect of Gustav Max!" Kujo said, "Detach one Xyz Material, once per turn, inflict 2000 points of damage to the opponent!"

Jonouchi was shocked: "Directly 2000 points of damage!?"

For a 4000 HP environment, this thing was too brutal. Especially in this early DM environment, violently inflicting effect damage like this seemed even more outrageous.

An Xyz material was absorbed by the cannon on the track, the cannon fell with a clatter, locked onto the target, and fired a shot.

Boom!

Jonouchi was hit head-on by the golden cannon light, fell backward, and felt as if his body had been hit in the chest by a speeding train, with a pain as if all the bones in his body had been crushed.

For a moment, he was even surprised that he hadn't died. He stood up, shaking and panting, and found that his hands and feet were still there, and his body was intact, as if the near-shocking pain just now was completely an illusion.

【Jonouchi, LP 4000 → LP 2000】

"Another Shadow Duel?" Jonouchi gritted his teeth.

He was no stranger to this concept, but he was also increasingly hating this kind of life-betting game.

"Battle Phase, finish it in one go!" Kujo shouted, "First, Gustav Max, attack 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon'!"

The cannon had no restriction that it couldn't attack after activating its effect. The ammunition was reloaded, this time locking onto the location of Red-Eyes, and fired a shot. Jonouchi's Red-Eyes Black Dragon couldn't resist at all and was torn into pieces under that shot.

【Jonouchi, LP 2000 → LP 1400】

Jonouchi blocked in front of him with one hand and staggered back half a step.

"In this way, the monster that can protect you no longer exists. It seems your so-called ace is just a slightly larger cannon fodder."

Kujo Mahiru took a step forward, his momentum like a rainbow.

"The final blow, Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger, direct attack!"

The war dragon flapped its wings, carrying the knight across the field, and the spiral spear pierced through the air!

"Who's going to fall so easily!" Jonouchi shouted, "Activate face-down card, Trap Card 'Nutrient Z'!"

"This card can only be activated during the damage calculation phase of the opponent's turn battle, when the player is about to take more than 2000 points of battle damage, I can first recover 4000 points of Life Points!"

【Jonouchi, LP 1400 → LP 5400】

The spiral spear pierced through, a violent puncture, making him feel as if his heart had been pierced. Jonouchi staggered back and knelt on the ground, but after taking the damage, he took a deep breath and soon stood up stubbornly again.
