Chapter 624: Instructor Alliance

"Worm?"

The two professors looked at each other, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.

Chronos: Are you familiar with this thing?

Napoleon: I don't know, what happened to the basic qualities of a professor you just talked about?

It's not their fault that their knowledge reserves are insufficient, but the Worm deck is generally rare and uncommon. Although there are occasionally a few Worms that appear in the environment, they are usually only good individual cards occasionally splashed by duelists; it is rare to see a complete deck.

Not to mention "Worm Zero", this card is the rarest of the rare. If it hadn't been obtained from a friend of New Domino, Fujiki You Xuan wouldn't have seen it either.

But regardless, a twenty-five-fold fusion right from the start is still a bit scary. Although they didn't recognize Worm Zero, they knew with their feet that something fused from twenty-five monsters definitely wouldn't be a pushover.

"Well, but in Battle Royale mode, no one can attack on the first turn." Fujiki You Xuan said, "Then I set two cards, turn end."

Chronos and Napoleon looked at each other and nodded.

"Then it's my turn again, none!"

Chronos said loudly.

"Draw!"

Napoleon reminded from the side: "Be careful, Professor Chronos! Today is not the day for our infighting; only by working together do we have a way out, aru!"

"Shut up, I know!"

Chronos glanced at the magic in Fujiki You Xuan's back row.

In any case, the thing summoned by Future Fusion needs two turns to appear. And now in their Battle Royale mode, two turns for them is only one turn for Fujiki You Xuan.

In other words, by the time Fujiki You Xuan's Standby Phase comes in two turns, it will be a long time from now.

For the time being, there should be no need to worry.

Now, the priority is to focus on breaking through the opponent's defense line and try to end the battle before that terrifying twenty-five-fold fusion thing of Future Fusion descends.

"Battle, none!" Chronos shouted, "Ancient Gear Golem, attack 'Worm Xex'!"

Fujiki You Xuan: "Activate face-down card..."

"Muda da, none!" Chronos was proud, "When Ancient Gear Golem attacks, the opponent cannot activate any Spell or Trap cards!"

"I know that, of course."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"However, Professor, I didn't say I was going to activate a trap against Ancient Gear Golem's attack. I triggered the trap at the moment you declared 'Battle' and entered the Battle Phase."

Chronos: "!"

Indeed, although Ancient Gear Golem cannot activate traps during the attack, it is only limited to the time after the attack declaration until the end of the damage calculation step. But from the time he declares entering the Battle Phase until he launches the attack, there is no binding force on free-chain traps.

"Therefore, I activate my face-down card, Trap Card 'W Nebula Meteorite'!"

As Fujiki You Xuan's trap flipped over, everyone felt as if dark clouds had suddenly gathered in the clear sky. The pitch-black clouds were like pressing down on the earth, with thunder and lightning churning within.

Then, in the vortex, a huge pitch-black object was revealed. Like a doomsday messenger coming swiftly, dragging a long tail flame, it instantly broke through the dark clouds.

The moment the meteorite hit the ground, it was like an explosion, the terrifying shockwave lifted layers of air, and dust and gravel were rolled into the high sky, forming an exaggerated mushroom cloud.

"Mamma mia!" Chronos shouted, "The dinosaur extinction, none!"

"Hahaha, it's not that exaggerated." Fujiki You Xuan laughed, "It's just that the impact of W Nebula Meteorite landing will force all face-down monsters on the field to be flipped into face-up Defense Position."

"And we only have one monster in face-down state on the field right now..."

He pointed to the face-down Worm on the field.

"Therefore, flip 'Worm Agon'." 【Worm Agon, Defense 1800】

"The effect of Worm Agon: When this card is flipped, select one face-up monster on the opponent's field and return it to the owner's hand."

Fujiki You Xuan smiled.

"Return 'Ancient Gear Golem' to the hand."

"A trap activated before the attack declaration, even Ancient Gear Golem is helpless."

Indeed, as strong as Ancient Gear is, it is helpless against such free-chain underworld traps. The Golem let out an unwilling low roar, and then its body turned into a ball of golden light, shooting back into Chronos's hand.

"What are you doing, Chronos!" Napoleon expressed dissatisfaction with his teammate's failure, "Didn't you always brag that Ancient Gear specializes in countering traps?"

Chronos's old face flushed, and he said angrily: "Shut, shut up!"

He gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.

"Damn Instructor Napoleon only knows how to say cool words..."

But fortunately, at least he hadn't performed a Normal Summon this turn.

!. Read

"Then I summon 'Ancient Gear Soldier' in Defense Position, turn end."

The soldier pieced together from ancient mechanical parts appeared on the field, its left hand was a metal five-fingered structure, and its right hand had been modified into a machine gun, landing on the field in a half-squat defensive posture.

【Ancient Gear Soldier, Defense 1300】

At least it avoided an empty turn. After all, there are no teammates in the rules of this duel, and teammate fields cannot be shared.

And Chronos and Instructor Napoleon had been fighting for so long that they knew this person couldn't be fully treated as a teammate. This card game seemed to be a duel for the two of them to interview, and their interests seemed to be consistent, but Chronos wasn't naive enough to trust the other party.

What if one of them hangs up in the duel and the other wins, what does the assessment result count as? Is it only the one with remaining Life Points who can get on board?

Then if he exhausted his resources to send Instructor Napoleon to win, wouldn't he be making a wedding dress for the other party?

Compared to the other party getting on board and himself making a wedding dress, Chronos would rather everyone lose their jobs together. He believed Napoleon thought the same.

So the two seemed to be teammates, but in fact, they each had their own thoughts.

"Then in the End Phase," Fujiki You Xuan said, "the subsequent effect of W Nebula Meteorite."

Both instructors felt a tightness in their hearts.

There's a subsequent effect?

"W Nebula Meteorite, in the End Phase, change all face-up Light-Attribute, Reptile-Type monsters on your field back to face-down Defense Position, and you can draw that many cards from your deck."

Fujiki You Xuan pointed to the two Worms on his field.

"Change 'Worm Agon' and 'Worm Xex' back to face-down Defense Position," Fujiki You Xuan said, "and I draw two cards from my deck."

Chronos and Napoleon exchanged glances, both seeing worry in the other's eyes.

Worm Agon can bounce any monster on the field back to the hand when flipped; it is a troublesome monster with a quite insidious effect. Being covered back up feels like setting a time bomb that could explode at any time for the two of them.

But it's not over yet.

"And after that, I can also Special Summon one Light-Attribute, Reptile-Type monster of Level 7 or higher from my deck."

Fujiki You Xuan said lightly, revealing a card in his hand.

"Special Summon this card from the deck—"

"—Worm Victory, descend!"
