Chapter 527: Trident Cannon

"It's rare that you summoned Caesar, only for it to end so simply."

Fujiki You Xuan put on a look of disappointment.

"I thought there would be something special this turn."

Melo's face seemed to twitch uncontrollably again.

But perhaps considering that he was a boss who needed to maintain his image, he kept a dark face and said nothing.

In fact, although Caesar is the trump card of Gladiator Beasts, it is not often left on the field. Like other Gladiator Beasts, Caesar also has the effect of returning to the Deck at the End Phase after a battle, and summoning other Gladiator Beasts from the Deck.

And as a noble Fusion Monster, Caesar can pull any two Gladiator Beasts other than the Gunner from the Deck.

Caesar's greatest value lies in the fact that he destroys two cards when he appears, runs away after one wave of attacks, and can be fused out again next turn to destroy two more cards. Furthermore, the two Gladiator Beasts he pulls out can also apply different effects according to the needs of the situation, ensuring his own sustainability while easily dismantling the opponent's defensive line.

Of course, the premise remains that he must have "engaged in battle."

If the attack is completely blocked, one can only stare blankly and do nothing.

"If you don't attack, I won't be polite on my end," Fujiki You Xuan said. "My turn, draw a card."

"First, the effect of the Continuous Spell 'Volcanic Wall'. Once per turn, send the top three cards of the Deck to the Graveyard."

"If there are Pyro-Type monsters among them, inflict 500 damage to the opponent for each Pyro-Type monster."

Fujiki You Xuan drew three more cards.

"Hmm, only one Pyro-Type this time. Well, every little bit helps, so please accept this 500 points of damage first."

The phantom of the Pyro-Type monster flashed by, turning into flames that filled the Continuous Spell in his back row. A fireball sprayed out, hitting Melo square in the face, exploding with a boom.

【Melo, LP 2500 → LP 2000】

"Next, I summon 'Volcanic Rocket' in Defense Position."

The monster's name was truly not an exaggeration; it appeared with a 'whoosh' sound, dragging a long tail of flame, truly looking like a hot rocket that had just flown out of a rocket launcher.

【Volcanic Rocket, DEF 1400】

"The effect of Volcanic Rocket: when this card is successfully Summoned, Special Summoned, or Flip Summoned, I can add one card with 'Blaze Accelerator' in its name from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand."

Fujiki You Xuan drew the Spell Card that had just left the Graveyard without haste.

"I return the Continuous Spell 'Blaze Accelerator' from the Graveyard to my hand."

"This again..." Melo gritted his teeth.

That damned cannon; he had finally managed to send it away last turn...

"Then, I activate the Continuous Spell 'Blaze Accelerator' again."

The steel cannon reappeared on Fujiki You Xuan's field, its metal shell looking as if it had been refined by magma, the red-hot exterior gleaming with a deadly luster.

But that wasn't all.

"Next, I send the Continuous Spell 'Blaze Accelerator' to the Graveyard to upgrade and evolve the Blaze Accelerator!"

Melo: "!"

There's actually an upgrade?

"This card can only be activated when 'Blaze Accelerator' exists on your field by sending Blaze Accelerator to the Graveyard—Blaze Accelerator - Trident!"

The scorching flames erupted again, swallowing the cannon on Fujiki You Xuan's field. The heavy steel cannon bathed in flames, evolved and upgraded, transforming into three thick and powerful barrels, mounted on the field by a huge support frame, with magma seemingly churning inside the astonishingly large-caliber barrels.

"Upgraded to the Trident-style heavy cannon, its abilities have also evolved and improved," Fujiki You Xuan said. "Blaze Accelerator - Trident: by sending any Pyro-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard, destroy a monster on the opponent's field."

Fujiki You Xuan revealed the ammunition dedicated to the Volcanic Deck in his hand again.

"I send the Pyro-Type Volcanic Shell from my hand to the Graveyard to destroy 'Gladiator Beast Caesar'."

The Volcanic Shell was loaded into the heavy cannon, and the Trident Cannon fired. A thunderous roar erupted from the barrel, and the burning shell pierced Caesar through the chest. The invincible ancient king could not withstand modern firepower after all, and was soon burned to ashes by the raging fire.

Melo raised his arm to block the impact, saying in a deep voice: "Compared to the original version, the Trident style has relaxed the restrictions on ammunition usage?"

The original Blaze Accelerator restricted the use of Pyro-Type monsters with 500 or less ATK, whereas the Trident style allows any Pyro-Type monster, meaning all monsters in the Volcanic series can be used as ammunition.

Of course, there is also no once-per-turn restriction. So, basically, no matter how many monsters one summons, they will be blown clean by Fujiki You Xuan's turn.

"Not only that," Fujiki You Xuan added, "Blaze Accelerator - Trident inflicts 500 points of damage to the opponent while destroying their monster."

The impact of the flames continued to sweep backward, scorching Melo. Melo let out a muffled groan, took a half-step back after enduring the scorching impact.

【Melo, LP 2000 → LP 1500】

"Does it mean the more monsters destroyed, the more damage I have to take?" Melo snorted heavily.

"However, like the Blaze Accelerator, I cannot declare an attack on the turn I use the Trident style's effect," Fujiki You Xuan paused and smiled. "Well, the Continuous Trap 'Gravity Bind' is still on the field, so most monsters can't attack anyway."

Melo: "."

In other words, this Gravity Bind blockade was basically suppressing him. The Volcanic system on the other side didn't intend to attack anyway.

"I set one card, turn end," Fujiki You Xuan said.

"You might think I've been suppressed to the point of helplessness; your tactics are indeed a trouble for the Gladiator Beasts," Melo said coldly. "But I am not an opponent who can be defeated by this level."

"At the end of this turn, I activate my set card, the Trap Card 'Rainbow Life'!"

His set card in the back row flipped over, and a seven-colored rainbow appeared behind him, like a magnificent bridge.

"Rainbow Life: by discarding one card from my hand," Melo sneered, "I restore my Life Points to the value at the start of this turn, and on that basis, restore Life Points equal to all damage received during this turn!" (Original effect)

【Melo, LP 1500 → LP 2500 → LP 3500】

"Ho, you negated all damage and even restored Life Points," Fujiki You Xuan said. "You're quite a handful too."

"Furthermore, the card I discarded is the Spell Card 'Card of Compensation'," Melo said. "Since this card was discarded from my hand to the Graveyard, I can also draw two cards!"

Melo drew the cards and said sternly.

"I have already obtained power, representing the ultimate light power of this universe. I will not fail, I will not be looked down upon, never again!"

"I am the justice of the universe!"

"And if anyone does not agree, or hinders justice, I will purify them with this absolute power of light... even you are no exception!"
