Chapter 545: Crystal

"Alright, my turn is over. It's Mr. Fujiki You Xuan's turn."

Jesse was full of excitement.

"I heard the Dueling King uses all kinds of decks to fight, so what kind of method will he use to attack this time? Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it..."

"Be careful not to get killed instantly, Jesse," Emerald Tortoise reminded.

"Hahaha, don't worry, no problem." Jesse gave it a thumbs up.

"I am also honored to be able to face the legendary crystals." Fujiki You Xuan smiled, expressing politeness.

Well, although the crystals in reality are a bit of a piece of junk.

"My turn, draw," Fujiki You Xuan said. "I have also specially prepared a new deck that I haven't used before this time, let's try it out and see how it goes."

"First, set a monster in face-down defense position."

Fujiki You Xuan set the monster face-down on the field.

"Then set a face-down card in the back row, turn end."

"It's actually a new deck kept in reserve; it makes people even more excited!" Jesse clenched his fists. "Alright, then it's my turn, draw!"

Jesse revealed a card in his hand.

"Activate Continuous Spell 'Crystal Tree'!"

An extraordinary tree rose from the ground, its dark brown trunk thick and steady. Crystal fruits hung all over the branches, dazzling and shining, and the light refracted formed a seven-colored rainbow at the top of the tree.

"As long as Crystal Tree exists in the Spell & Trap Zone, every time a Crystal Beast monster is placed in the Spell & Trap Zone, place a Crystal Counter on this card!"

Being placed in the Spell & Trap Zone is also a common characteristic of Crystal Beasts. In the event that all Crystal Beast monsters are destroyed, they will not be sent to the Graveyard like ordinary monsters, but will turn into crystal gems and be placed in the duelist's back row Spell & Trap Zone.

In the anime, it is said that such Crystal Beasts are the proof of their bond with Jesse. Even if destroyed, they will not leave the field, and they will accompany him at any time; for Jesse, they are exactly like family.

"Then I want to call my new family to the stage!" Jesse revealed another monster in his hand. "Come on!

Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth!"

A shining piece of amber appeared on Jesse's field, bursting with dazzling light. The tall mammoth let out a low, muffled roar and appeared from the light, swinging its long elephant trunk.

【Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth, ATK 1700】

"Leave it to me, Jesse!" The mammoth showed its sharp tusks and let out a roar.

"Please, Mammoth!" Jesse said. "Go, Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth, attack the face-down monster!"

The mammoth let out a cry and charged at full speed toward the face-down monster on Fujiki You Xuan's field. Its huge body kicked up flying yellow dust when charging, and its footsteps seemed to make the entire ruin cave tremble.

"Activate face-down card." Fujiki You Xuan waved his hand to flip over the back row. "Continuous Trap - Gravity Bind.

As long as this trap exists on the field, all monsters on both sides of the field with level 4 or higher cannot attack!"

The fluctuation of supergravity was applied to the field as the trap flipped. The mammoth only charged halfway before feeling as if gravity had increased a thousand times, its footsteps involuntarily sinking deep into the ground, making it difficult to move forward even half a step.

Mokuba: "Oh oh, it appeared, Fujiki You Xuan's Gravity Bind!"

"You really like this kind of tactic that makes the opponent unable to fight at all..."

The new spirit Fujiki You Xuan called Eye also floated to his side to complain.

"But speaking of which, isn't the purpose of this duel to stimulate the opponent's potential and let that very powerful stone slab wake up? Is it really okay for you to make people unable to duel at all like this..."

"It's fine," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "I have a plan in mind. If he's a duelist who can't duel at this level, then what can he use to awaken the Rainbow Dragon?"

Sure enough, the next moment, Jesse revealed his response: "Then activate face-down card, Counter Trap 'Crystal Miracle'!

When a monster effect, Spell, or Trap card is activated, you can destroy one 'Crystal Beast' card on your field to negate the activation and destroy it!"

The green-shelled turtle lying on the ground raised its head and patted its chest with its short arms. "Use my body, Jesse!"

The tone had a taste of being ready to die.

"Alright, sorry, Emerald Tortoise," Jesse said. "I destroy 'Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise' to negate the activation of 'Gravity Bind' and destroy it!"

Emerald Tortoise's whole body seemed to be burning with green fire, its figure becoming illusory in the green fire, then turning into a burning cannonball that shot through the air, crashing into the Gravity Bind trap.

The trap card shattered, the shackles of gravity were instantly broken, and the gravity wave dissipated without a trace.

"Crystal Beasts are not sent to the Graveyard when destroyed, but are placed in their own Spell & Trap Zone as gems!" Jesse said.

While speaking, the turtle had turned into a green jade, and the beautiful crystal fell into Jesse's back row, its surface flashing with dazzling luster.

"Then at this moment, activate Continuous Trap 'Crystal Abundance'!" Jesse said. "Once per turn, if a Crystal Beast on your field is destroyed by battle or effect, special summon a 'Crystal Beast' from the deck.

I call a new Crystal Beast from the deck to the field!"

Jesse searched for another card from the deck and revealed it directly.

"It's your turn to appear!

Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus!"

The sapphire gem appeared on the field, then the gem shattered, and dazzling blue light bloomed. The Pegasus with white jade-like fur flapped its angel-like wings, circled twice in the air, and landed lightly on the field.

【Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus, ATK 1800】

"It's firing on all cylinders right from the start today, Jesse," Fujiki You Xuan said.

"Ah, yeah," Jesse laughed. "After all, today is a rare opponent that absolutely cannot be taken lightly, so everyone has to be in their best state to deal with it."

"No problem!"

"Leave it to us!"

The Crystal Beasts responded one after another.

"Alright, then next is the effect of 'Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus'!" Jesse said. "When Sapphire Pegasus is successfully summoned or special summoned, you can place any 'Crystal Beast' from your hand, deck, or Graveyard into your Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell!"

Jesse pulled out the deck again and selected a Crystal card from it.

"Come on, Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle!"

The red crystal appeared in his back row, floating in the Spell & Trap Zone. But as soon as that red gem was placed in the back row, it immediately bloomed with dazzling red light.

Then, only to see the Ruby Carbuncle and Emerald Tortoise in Jesse's back row shatter together, and the small and cute Ruby Carbuncle and the Emerald Tortoise that had just left the field were immediately liberated from the crystals, returned to their original appearance, and both landed on the field.

【Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle, DEF 300】

【Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise, DEF 2000】

Fujiki You Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Wait, I don't play crystals much, don't lie to me, how is this summoned to the field?

Isn't Ruby Carbuncle's effect that it can only special summon Crystal Beasts from the back row to the front field when it is special summoned itself?

Jesse: "Ruby Carbuncle's effect is that when this card is placed in the Spell & Trap Zone, you can special summon as many 'Crystal Beast' monsters placed in your Spell & Trap Zone as possible!" (Original effect)

Fujiki You Xuan cupped his chin.

So there is such a difference in anime Crystal Beasts, I had no impression of it at all...
