Chapter 1353: Mist Wurm!
"Special Summon 'Infernity Archfiend' from the Graveyard!"
The demon returned from the Graveyard again, but this time when it returned to the field, its aura was already completely different from just now.
The Infernity Archfiend that appeared initially was just an attacker with 1800 attack, but at this time Fujiki You Xuan's hand count was zero, and the Infernity Archfiend that returned to the field had awakened the powerful ability to change the situation in one fell swoop.
Infernity Archfiend's eyes flashed with eerie red light, and the surging magic power was released from the field, pouring into Fujiki You Xuan's Deck continuously, as if charging the Deck.
"My hand count is zero, and when Infernity Archfiend is successfully Special Summoned, I can add one 'Infernity' card from my Deck to my hand."
Fujiki You Xuan drew the card searched from the Deck.
"I add the Continuous Magic 'Infernity Launcher' from my Deck to my hand."
The magic was automatically searched, Fujiki You Xuan drew the searched card into his hand, and then inserted it directly into the Duel Disk.
"Activate Continuous Magic 'Infernity Launcher'!"
A heavy cannon that seemed to carry death fell onto the field, and the dark vortex swirled within it, as if leading to the nine underworlds.
"'Infernity Launcher's' effect: send the face-up 'Infernity Launcher' on my field to the Graveyard, and revive up to two 'Infernity' monsters from the Graveyard to the field."
Fujiki You Xuan revealed the two Infernity monsters recovered from the Graveyard.
"I Special Summon 'Infernity Beetle' and 'Infernity Guardian' from the Graveyard."
【Infernity Beetle, ATK 1200】
【Infernity Guardian, DEF 1700】
"Oh, four monsters on the field in an instant." Bakura hummed. "Your Infernity deployment speed is not inferior, sure enough, you have to be vigilant once the hand count is zero."
Both decks have powerful explosions, and instant deployment and explosive one-wave strikes are commonplace. Although the level of such a deck cannot be compared with modern Yu-Gi-Oh, it can at least be said to have a "modern prototype".
The last turn was Bakura's wave, and now it was Infernity's turn to counterattack.
"Infernity Beetle, effect activate." Fujiki You Xuan said. "Tribute Infernity Beetle to Special Summon two copies of the same name from the Deck or Graveyard." (Anime effect)
As he spoke, golden light bloomed on the beetle, and it soon split into two in the light, one on the left and one on the right, filling the remaining monster slots on Fujiki You Xuan's field.
【Infernity Beetle, ATK 1200】 x2
"It's starting." Fujiki You Xuan said. "First, Level 2 Tuner monster 'Infernity Beetle', Level 4 'Infernity Archfiend', plus Level 3 'Infernity Necromancer', Synchro Tune!"
【2+3+4=9】
"Insect body piercing through rainbow light, cocoon tearing through dimensions, be born, Level 9—"
"—Mist Wurm!!!"
In the light ring of Synchro Tune, the Star Avenue appeared, the monster hadn't appeared yet, and purple mist had already gushed out, obscuring the sight of the whole field in an instant.
In that surging mist, the giant insect body tossed and turned, it was a body as huge as a deep-sea giant beast, like a whale flying in the thick smoke. The dark red eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the wide-open mouth was full of serrated fangs.
【Mist Wurm, ATK 2500】
Level 9 Synchro, one of the strongest terminals of the Infernity dynasty in its heyday, Mist Wurm!
It is the same Level 9 Synchro as the other major Infernity trump card "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" that Fujiki You Xuan had used before, and both require the summoning condition of "Tuner plus two or more other monsters".
But compared to Trishula, Mist Wurm is a terminal that focuses more on clearing the field and finishing.
Fujiki You Xuan said: "Mist Wurm's effect activates! When this card is successfully Synchro Summoned, choose up to three cards on the opponent's field, and all chosen cards are returned to the owner's hand!"
Return three cards to the hand in one go!
Very powerful field-clearing effect, it can be seen that as long as it lands, it can easily clear the field and complete the finish.
However, at first glance, this card seems to be stronger than Trishula, which "can only banish one card on the field", but in fact, its appearance rate in Infernity back then was not necessarily higher.
Because although Mist Wurm seems to be able to clear three cards on the field in one go, the clearing method is "return to hand". Many times, the cards returned to the opponent's hand are still available resources and cannot pull the card gap between the two sides.
Trishula is different. Although Trishula seems to be able to only banish one card on the opponent's field, it can also banish one card from the opponent's hand and Graveyard, totaling three cards banished.
The importance of hand resources goes without saying, and the Graveyard is even called the "second hand" for many decks, and its importance is equally self-evident.
In comparison, although Trishula does not have the ability to immediately obtain field advantages like Mist Wurm, it can more effectively pull the card gap and erode the opponent's resources.
So overall, Mist Wurm is a finishing trump card, and its appearance is to pursue a kill. Trishula has both partial finishing and more operational functions.
And at this time, Mist Wurm appeared, naturally representing the finishing rhythm of Infernity.
"I return 'Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon', 'Revived King Ha Des', and 'Goblin Zombie' on your field, all three cards to the hand!"
Mist Wurm let out a sharp screech, and the circular holes like chimneys on its head sprayed simultaneously. Clusters of purple mist wrapped Bakura's front-row monsters, swallowing them one by one, turning into three purple light streams and flying back into Bakura's hand.
Although Mist Wurm's "return to hand" generally cannot directly pull the card gap, three of the cards Fujiki You Xuan returned were Synchro monsters. Synchro monsters cannot return to the hand and will return directly to the Extra Deck, so in terms of the current situation, even if it cannot ensure a kill, it has already gained enough resource advantage.
"Too much, the field I finally completed," Bakura looked at the only card that returned to his hand, Goblin Zombie. "It was messed up like this all at once..."
But Fujiki You Xuan's actions were not over yet.
"Next is the Level 2 Tuner monster 'Infernity Beetle', Level 4 'Infernity Guardian', Synchro Tune!"
【2+4=6】
"The privilege of pursuit, lend it to me." Fujiki You Xuan raised his hand. "Synchro Summon! Level 6—"
"—Goyo Guardian!"
It is also one of the common trump cards of the Infernity heyday... but in fact, it is hard to say that it is "Infernity's trump card". Because in the Synchro environment of the same period, as long as it was a deck with Level 6 Synchro ability, it was basically bound to invest in Goyo Guardian, until this card was banned because it was too strong and overly flooded.
Ushio-sama represented the privilege card of the pursuit police, the guardian with a pale face and colorful makeup like a clown jumped out onto the field in the Synchro light ring, emitting a sharp, clown-like weird laugh, the chains on his hands spinning in circles like a windmill, as if considering what monster to 'NTR' next to play with.
【Goyo Guardian, ATK 2800】
Bakura's field had been completely cleared by Mist Wurm, no monsters, no face-down cards, just like being stripped bare.
The next two consecutive Synchro strikes would determine the outcome! ===== CHAPTER 1354 =====
