Chapter 844

"What a pity." Fujiki You Xuan chuckles, "If you had destroyed the materials before I performed the Synchro Summon, I likely would not have been able to gather the materials for Brionac again, nor would I have been able to use 'Synchro Deflection' to dodge the effect of Air Raid."

You misjudged, Bommer. Now, the effect of Air Raid this turn has become meaningless."

Bommer grinds his teeth: "Damn bastard Goodwin."

Off the track, Yusei says in a deep voice: "That may be so, but in that situation just now, without Bommer knowing that Goodwin had 'Synchro Deflection' set in his backrow, the probability that he would choose to wait for Goodwin to Synchro Summon before using the Bomber's effect was indeed the highest."

"Furthermore, Goodwin's previous provocation seemed to be luring Bommer into using the Bomber's effect prematurely out of impulse, but now it seems that perhaps Goodwin was precisely using the provocation to make Bommer think he had that intention, anticipating that Bommer, out of caution, would be even more likely to hold onto the Bomber's effect and save it for the Synchro Summon."

As the saying goes, show weakness when you are strong and strength when you are weak. Bommer thought he had seen through the opponent's provocation from the third layer, not knowing that even the fact that he thought he had seen through it was anticipated by the opponent.

Now, looking only at the result, it would have been more cost-effective to use the effect of Air Raid before the Synchro Summon; if Goodwin didn't have a new four-star monster in his hand, it would have definitely prevented the arrival of Brionac."

Jack says indifferently: "It's not just the duel; the duelist named Bommer had even his thoughts completely seen through by Goodwin. He is literally being played in the palm of his hand. I'm afraid the way things developed was entirely within his expectations."

But when he says this, he suddenly pauses and shakes his head.

"No, perhaps even if Bommer had chosen to activate the effect of Air Raid before the opponent's Synchro Summon, Goodwin might have had other countermeasures."

There is no basis for it, but his intuition tells him so.

Since coming to the city and knowing Goodwin for so long, for the first time, Jack suddenly feels that Goodwin is a quite terrifying man.

"The effect of Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier activates." Fujiki You Xuan says, "Discard any number of cards from your hand to return any number of cards on the field to their owner's hand!"

Bommer: "Nani da to (What did you say)!?"

The Dark Signer brute's pitch-black pupils widen.

Return to hand, it's returning to hand again!

After finally getting rid of one Abyss Soldier, this thing pops up again. And returning any number of cards... the disgusting level of this thing is ten times worse than Abyss Soldier; it's simply a fully enhanced version of Abyss Soldier for the Synchro era!

"Discard one card from my hand." Fujiki You Xuan says, "First is 'Giant Bomber Air Raid', let's return it to the hand first."

As Fujiki You Xuan discards a card, Brionac raises its dragon head, and the cold air of the Ice Barrier instantly condenses on the field.

The giant bomber has no way to react; its metal joints are instantly locked by frost. Countless ice spikes pierce out from the ground, climbing up along the bomber's body, freezing the ten-meter-tall steel body into an ice sculpture.

The next moment, the ice sculpture shatters into ten thousand ice crystals with a crisp explosion, and the data stream released after the explosion suddenly flies back into Bommer's hand.

Bommer looks at the bomber that was forcibly returned to his hand, his mouth twitching, his expression quite ugly.

Although he has the Dark Carrier on his field that can provide infinite sustainability for the Bomber, the Carrier can only fish Giant Bomber out of the Graveyard back to the field. If it is returned to the hand, even the Carrier is powerless.

Furthermore, "Giant Bomber Air Raid" can only be Special Summoned from the Deck by the effect of "Summon Reactor"; even in the hand, it cannot be Normal Summoned by Tributing. It is a pure brick in his hand, useless.

"And the card I just discarded is the monster 'Scholar Spirit'." Fujiki You Xuan says, "When Scholar Spirit enters the Graveyard, draw one card from the Deck."

Fujiki You Xuan draws another card.

"Next is that Carrier." Fujiki You Xuan says, "Although without Giant Bomber, the Dark Carrier doesn't have much of a threat, it still has DEF equivalent to Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which is quite troublesome."

As he speaks, he has already sent another card from his hand to the Graveyard.

"Brionac's effect activates again. Please send the Carrier back to your hand as well."

Brionac raises its head and roars, and countless ice spikes pierce out again, stabbing toward the massive Dark Carrier in mid-air.

But this time Bommer does not let him do as he pleases: "Activate face-down card! Trap card 'Interdimensional Matter Transporter'!

Select one face-up monster on your field; banish the selected monster from play until the End Phase of this turn!"

His thick finger points to the only remaining Carrier on the field.

"Banish 'Dark Carrier' from play!"

A device made of unknown metal appears on the field, releasing bursts of transparent, colorful waves. The waves envelop the pitch-black carrier, as if piercing through the barrier of space. The carrier gradually becomes translucent until it disappears to the other side of the dimension.

Only then do the countless ice spikes summoned by Brionac pierce from below, all missing their target.

"Oh? You used a trap to make your monster run away temporarily." Fujiki You Xuan says, "But in this way, you are equivalent to being naked."

As he speaks, he waves his hand.

"Then 'Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier', attack Bommer directly!"

With one attack command, the faint glimmer of hope in Bommer's heart—that "this dragon's effect is so perverted, maybe it can't attack the turn it uses its effect"—vanishes into thin air.

Attack restriction? Limitation on effect usage? Sorry, the invincible Brionac has no such things.

Ice breath gushes out from Brionac's mouth, and an endless cold current rolls over Bommer. Bommer's vehicle trembles with a rumble; it looks like it's fortunate to have a stable chassis with three large wheels, otherwise, it might have flipped over directly after taking such a blow from Brionac.

Bommer: "Ughhh!"

【Bommer, LP 4000 → LP 1700】

After a violent tremor of his D-Wheel, Bommer struggles to control it and stabilize his forward direction.

In the Speed World field, for every 1000 points of damage taken at once, the D-Wheel rider will lose a corresponding Speed Counter, and the D-Wheel's speed will also drop accordingly.

At this moment, Bommer takes two thousand damage in one breath, instantly losing two Speed Counters. Originally both sides had five Speed Counters, but Bommer's count drops to 3 after this blow.

The difference between three and five Speed Counters is quite large, which means that a large batch of Speed Spells that could originally be used have their usage permissions sealed again. For example, the fusion spell "Speed Fusion" exclusive to riding just happens to require four Speed Counters to use.

With only three Speed Counters, he can't even perform a Fusion Summon.

Bommer, having lost his Speed Counters, is immediately left far behind by Fujiki You Xuan. However, he quickly stabilizes his D-Wheel and desperately chases back up.

"Roaaar!"

Bommer roars.

"My anger, the hatred of my brothers and sisters is not something of this level!" Bommer says, "A mere level like this can't get rid of me!"

Fujiki You Xuan smiles: "Well, it should be like this. If it ends with a crash, that wouldn't satisfy me."

As he speaks, he inserts another card from his hand into the backrow.

"Set one more card, turn end."
