Chapter 338: Defense against the flash!

Marufuji Ryo let out a long breath.

Regardless, he had barely managed to survive this turn.

Being cleared of two Cyber Twin Dragons in one turn was still too painful. The continuous bouncing of the Storm Monarch set, plus the strong assault of the Treeborn Frog and Monarch combination, even he felt a bit sweaty.

In fact, Marufuji Ryo had felt to some extent a long time ago that Fujiki You Xuan was a duelist who walked a path completely opposite to his own.

Marufuji Ryo pursued carrying out his own dueling and prioritized maintaining his own pace over the pursuit of victory. In general, he was a duelist who valued the process more than the result.

And Fujiki You Xuan was exactly the opposite. His dueling was a formula deduced based on victory; as long as the result was a win, any means were fine. Even if the tactics weren't so flashy, even if there wasn't the big monster-clashing segment that contemporary duelists pursued, it didn't matter.

For him, the result was clearly more important than the process.

Hmm, if a happy process could be added to the result based on the premise of "victory," that would be even better.

Marufuji Ryo didn't think his path was better than others, but he had no intention of changing it either. In his view, his firmness on his path was also the reason for his strength as a duelist, and no matter what tactics or means his opponent used, he would insist on being himself.

As long as you are firm on your path, the deck will definitely respond to you. Whether you can win by doing this doesn't matter.

"My turn, draw!"

Marufuji Ryo said.

"And in the Standby Phase of this turn, it is my second Standby Phase after 'Time Capsule' was activated. 'Time Capsule' is destroyed according to its own effect, and I can add the card banished from the game when it was activated to my hand."

A vortex appeared on the ground, and the Time Capsule emerged like an interdimensional coffin, slowly opening. The card sleeping inside returned to Marufuji Ryo's hand.

Of course, everyone knew what was hidden in Kaiser's Time Capsule, just as everyone knew that the face-down card in President Kaiba's backrow was Fusion.

"Then I activate the Magic Card 'Magical Book of the Pot', both sides draw three cards from the deck." (Original card)

After drawing, he seemed to quickly make up his mind and revealed three cards from his hand.

"Activate Magic Card 'Monster Reborn'!" Marufuji Ryo revealed his second Monster Reborn. "I can revive any monster from the Graveyard! I want to revive this card—

—Proto-Cyber Dragon, summon again!"

【Proto-Cyber Dragon, ATK 1100】

"Then at this moment, activate Quick-Play Magic 'Inferno Reckless Summon'!" Marufuji Ryo said. "Activate when the opponent has a monster on the field and I successfully Special Summon a monster with 1500 or less ATK. Special Summon as many copies of that monster as possible from my hand, deck, and Graveyard. However, as a cost, the opponent can also select a face-up monster on their field and Special Summon as many copies of that monster as possible."

"I have 'Zaborg the Thunder Monarch' on my field," Fujiki You Xuan said. "However, I don't have any copies of that card in my deck."

Monarchs were an ultra-rare series in this world, and Zaborg was generally not included in the second or third copy in a build, so he only had one.

The spectating Yellow Dorm student: "Kaiser just successfully Special Summoned Proto-Cyber Dragon, so according to the effect of Inferno Reckless Summon, he has to Special Summon the other two Proto-Cyber Dragons from his deck..."

"Idiot, did you forget the effect of 'Proto-Cyber Dragon'?" the Blue Dorm student next to him reminded.

The Yellow Dorm student was stunned: "Proto-Cyber Dragon's name is treated as 'Cyber Dragon' while it's on the field... Ma Saka (Don't tell me)!?"

Sure enough, the next moment, he saw Marufuji Ryo reveal three cards in one breath.

"I Special Summon these three cards from my Graveyard and deck respectively! Appear, Special Summon three Cyber Dragons together!!!"

【Cyber Dragon, ATK 2100】 x3

"Then activate the Magic Card 'Power Bond'! Perform a Fusion Summon for a Machine-Type monster using Fusion Materials from my hand and field!" Marufuji Ryo shouted. "I fuse the 'Proto-Cyber Dragon' treated as Cyber Dragon on the field and the other two 'Cyber Dragons'! Transform into the ultimate form of Cyber Dragon, the final evolution, descend in the strongest posture!"

Marufuji Ryo raised his arm high.

"Fusion Summon! Cyber End Dragon!!!"

As if tearing through the boundaries of space and descending from the world of data, the three-headed giant steel dragon descended accompanied by the roar of mechanical parts rubbing against each other! Its huge body, every inch of armor plate seemed to have electricity rolling over it, the silver armor flashed in the electricity, like a flowing galaxy.

【Cyber End Dragon, ATK 4000】

"The effect of 'Power Bond', the Machine-Type monster Fusion Summoned with this card has its ATK doubled!"

【Cyber End Dragon, ATK 4000 -> ATK 8000】

"It appeared!"

The students on the scene and the academy students watching through the livestream couldn't help but feel high emotions.

"Kaiser's signature, Cyber End Dragon with 8000 ATK!"

"Too strong, it's simply a legendary monster..."

8000 ATK, for most ordinary duelists, was already an unreachable barrier. Now this three-headed giant steel dragon was simply the embodiment of walking power!

"Battle!" Marufuji Ryo shouted. "Cyber End Dragon, attack 'Zaborg the Thunder Monarch'! Eternal Evolution Burst!!!"

Cyber End Dragon's three mechanical mouths opened at the same time, starting to charge like pitch-black cannons! The raging energy was like a violent thunder, spinning and colliding wildly inside the dragon heads, making a deafening roar.

8000 ATK, extreme violent output, just a graze would result in being wiped out on the spot.

"Cyber End Dragon with Power Bond, this is your trump card... so strong, too strong."

Fujiki You Xuan nodded first to affirm, giving his opponent full respect...

Or rather, he felt he had given full respect.

Then he waved his hand. A certain card flipped over, and at that moment, endless dazzling brilliance burst out from the card!

Such powerful, such dazzling power, everyone on the scene seemed to be unable to open their eyes from the strong light for a moment, having to raise their arms to protect their faces, barely squinting in an attempt to identify what that card was.

Marufuji Ryo also raised his arm to protect his face, saying with a calm face: "This kind of power, that card... could it be..."

"Not bad."

Fujiki You Xuan had already calmly put on sunglasses to block the light at some point, so there was no need to cover his eyes as awkwardly as others. Fujiki You Xuan, who had made full defense against the flash, stood calmly in place, the dazzling flash reflected on the pitch-black lenses.

He said lightly.

"Trap Card, Mirror Force. When the opponent's monster declares an attack..."

He reached out and slowly swept across the luxurious lineup of "Cyber Dragon", "Cyber End Dragon", and "Cyber Barrier Dragon" on Kaiser's field.

"Destroy all Attack Position monsters on the opponent's field!"

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 339 =====

Fujiki You Xuan had calmly put on sunglasses to block the light at some point, so he didn't need to cover his eyes in such a disheveled manner like the others. Having fully prepared for the flash, Fujiki You Xuan stood calmly in place facing the intense light, the dazzling glare reflected on his pitch-black lenses.

He said nonchalantly.

"Trap card, Mirror Force.

When the opponent's monster declares an attack..."

He reached out his hand, slowly sweeping it across the luxurious lineup on Kaiser's field: "Cyber Dragon," "Cyber End Dragon," and "Cyber Barrier Dragon."

"Destroy all attack position monsters on the opponent's field!"
