Chapter 336: Fortunately, I was a step ahead

"My turn, draw!"

Marufuji Ryo drew again.

Of course, everyone knew that the card he drew was the Cyber Dragon that had just been bounced to the top of the deck. Although Cyber Dragon was once a monster with the title of strongest attacker, it couldn't beat the Storm Monarch.

"Activate Magic Card 'Graceful Charity'," Marufuji Ryo said. "Draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from my hand."

He casually discarded two cards, but then one popped out.

"The discarded card is the Magic Card 'Card of Compensation', draw two cards from the deck." (Original card)

Glancing at the newly replenished ammunition, Marufuji Ryo quickly made up his mind.

"When the opponent has a monster and I have none, I Special Summon 'Cyber Dragon' again!"

【Cyber Dragon, ATK 2100】

"Then activate the face-down card, Continuous Trap 'Limit Reverse'!" Marufuji Ryo said. "Su Sheng a monster with 1000 or less ATK from the Graveyard in Attack Position. I want to revive the monster I just discarded..."

He took a card that automatically ejected from his Duel Disk's Graveyard zone.

"Special Summon 'The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion'!"

【The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion, ATK 1000】

"Then the effect of Hex-Sealed Fusion activates. By offering the Fusion Material monsters on the field, including itself, as an Offering, I can use this card as a substitute for one of the Fusion Materials to Special Summon a LIGHT Fusion Monster from the Fusion Deck!"

He pointed to the Cyber Dragon and Hex-Sealed Fusion on the field.

"I offer 'The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion' and 'Cyber Dragon' as Offerings, using Hex-Sealed Fusion to substitute for another 'Cyber Dragon' to perform a Fusion! Appear—

—Cyber Twin Dragon!"

The Hex-Sealed Fusion released a powerful stream of light, turning into a vortex. The body of the Hex-Sealed Fusion transformed into the form of a Cyber Dragon, and it vanished together with the other Cyber Dragon in the light.

A shell made of silver-white metallic body, a body tempered a thousand times, the metallic texture hard and smooth, like a suit of silver armor.

Two dragon heads were located on both sides, and electricity all over its body wandered like silver snakes, occasionally converging into bright arcs of electricity.

【Cyber Twin Dragon, ATK 2800】

The spectating students were already excited: "It appeared! Kaiser's strongest monster second only to the End Dragon, Cyber Twin Dragon!"

Although it was said in the anime to be the strongest monster "second only to the End Dragon," in reality, Twin Dragon was rated higher than End Dragon in early competitive play and often appeared in the competitive environment.

"It's not over yet," Marufuji Ryo shouted. "I then activate the Magic Card 'Monster Reborn'! Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard. I revive the 'The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion' that just went to the Graveyard as Fusion Material!"

【The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion, DEF 1600】

"Then Normal Summon 'Proto-Cyber Dragon' from my hand!"

【Proto-Cyber Dragon, ATK 1100】

A Level 3 shrunken version of Cyber Dragon, the image is roughly the prototype of Cyber Dragon. For a long time, it was the only card that could substitute for Cyber Dragon, but as Cyber Dragon decks were continuously strengthened in later generations and more components that could substitute for Cyber Dragon appeared, this card was completely phased out.

"'Proto-Cyber Dragon's effect: while this card is on the field, it can be treated as 'Cyber Dragon'," Marufuji Ryo said. "Therefore, I activate the effect of 'The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion' again! Offer the Hex-Sealed Fusion and the Proto-Cyber Dragon treated as Cyber Dragon as Offerings, and Special Summon a LIGHT Fusion Monster again!"

The Hex-Sealed Fusion transformed into the posture of a Cyber Dragon, and the two Cyber Dragons fused in the vortex of brilliance. Electric light overflowed, and the two-headed metallic giant dragon roared as it appeared.

"Cyber Twin Dragon Number Two, summon!"

【Cyber Twin Dragon, ATK 2800】

Fujiki You Xuan pondered: "You actually have a Number Two..."

However, it was clearly known in the anime that Kaiser had two Cyber End Dragons, so it wasn't strange that he had two Twin Dragons.

The spectating students were already boiling with excitement before the battle even started.

"As expected of Kaiser, summoning two Cyber Twin Dragons in an instant! Two of them!"

The student wearing the blue uniform was particularly excited.

"Cyber Twin Dragon has the powerful effect of attacking twice per turn, if there are two..."

"It can attack four times in one turn!" the student next to him hurriedly interjected.

What is the concept of 2800 ATK attacking four times?

After the attack, the opponent could end up owing a life.

"Your Monarch, and my Cyber Dragon, let's test who is the strongest power of the Duel Academy!"

Marufuji Ryo shouted.

"Battle. First is the first Cyber Twin Dragon, attack 'Raiza the Storm Monarch'!"

Both mouths of the Twin Dragon brewed fire and electricity at the same time, and the dazzling light flame on the left side had already sprayed toward the Storm Monarch!

Fujiki You Xuan snapped his fingers: "Then activate the Trap 'Icarus Attack'. Offer a WIND monster on my field as an Offering, select one card on the opponent's field and return it to the bottom of the deck. I offer the WIND 'Raiza the Storm Monarch' as an Offering to return 'Cyber Twin Dragon' to the bottom of the deck."

Raiza the Storm Monarch spread his arms, exploding as if burning himself out. The power of the storm surged from within him, turning into a green tornado that swallowed the Twin Dragon whole, until it dissipated and retreated in the storm.

"Uh, actually bounced back to the deck..."

The Twin Dragon that was so hard to make was blown away so easily, even Marufuji Ryo couldn't help but frown.

But it doesn't matter.

What are you going to do about the second one?

"Then Cyber Twin Dragon Number Two, attack directly!"

Raiza the Storm Monarch and Twin Dragon Number One were forced into a one-for-one trade; although it was a gain, Fujiki You Xuan's field was now empty. Twin Dragon Number Two's double attack could also directly lock in victory!

"Activate Trap 'Phoenix Wing Wind Blast'."

Fujiki You Xuan flipped over a backrow card and discarded a card from his hand.

"Discard a card from my hand, return one card on the opponent's field to the top of the deck. I discard a card to return 'Cyber Twin Dragon' Number Two to the top of the deck."

The phantom of Nephthys, the Sacred Phoenix appeared, spreading its wings and flapping violently. The storm of fire immediately swirled, swallowing the body of Twin Dragon Number Two, and the giant steel dragon wailed powerlessly, then retreated in the storm.

Marufuji Ryo: "..."

Spectating students: "..."

Well, both sides have become empty fields now.

"So dangerous, so dangerous, as expected of Kaiser," Fujiki You Xuan laughed. "Actually doing a four-hit combo with a two-headed dragon in an instant, if I wasn't careful, I might have really been finished off."

Marufuji Ryo: "..."

He suddenly had a strange sense of déjà vu.

It's like you're playing a competitive online game, playing a hero with extremely high difficulty but who is particularly flashy. Your hand speed is crazy, your movement is extremely slick, a series of operations are fierce as a tiger, all skills are thrown, and the operation is pulled to the extreme.

After finishing, the NC numerical monster on the opposite side just pressed a button, one slash did 999 damage, and you were finished off in a snap.

After finishing you off, that guy is even wiping sweat, saying it was so dangerous, fortunately I was a step ahead...

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 337 =====

It's just like playing a competitive online game, where you're playing a hero with extremely high skill requirements but who is incredibly flashy. Your hand speed is off the charts, your movement is top-tier, and after a flurry of operations as fierce as a tiger, you've exhausted every skill and pushed your mechanics to the absolute limit.

Once you're done, some noob on the other side just casually presses a button, deals 999 damage with one hit, and *snap*—you're instantly killed.

After killing you, that guy is even wiping his sweat, saying, "That was close, that was close, luckily my skills were a cut above."
