#429 - Wake up
Wearing a golden crown, clad in vibrant armor, and with a shining halo behind him, a crimson divine bird flew from afar, emitting bursts of cries.
Summon Divine Bird Simorgh, Level 2, Wind Attribute, Winged Beast, Attack Power 1000.
Kaiser watched this scene in astonishment.
【Writing this, I hope readers remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →𝒕𝒘𝒌𝒂𝒏.𝒄𝒐𝒎】
He knew that Fubuki had been influenced by Darkness, so during previous duels, the cards in his deck would be automatically replaced with Red-Eyes series cards.
Although Fubuki had gradually overcome this, he never expected that Fubuki, now wearing the Darkness mask, could still resist this influence, and even... used cards he had never used before!
The divine bird flew close to the ground, gently nuzzling Fubuki. Fubuki thanked it for its hard work, and then continued, "The monster effect of Divine Bird Simorgh activates when this card is successfully summoned. Add 1 'Simorgh' card other than 'Divine Bird Simorgh' from your deck to your hand."
"I add... Ancestral Divine Bird Simorgh to my hand!"
It's Ancestral Divine Bird Simorgh!?
Many spirits were surprised.
Isn't that the leader of the Simorgh clan?
However, a monster has already been Normal Summoned, so even if it's added to the hand, it's meaningless, right?
"Activate the Field Magic Card, Divine Bird's Sacred Mountain Elbrus!"
Fierce winds howled, clouds rolled, and a large mountain slowly rose from all sides of the duel field.
Wow.
Tenjoin Hikari watched curiously from the side.
Unlike Tenjoin Hikari, who runs around and adventures everywhere, most dimensional travelers generally explore in fixed places. Even Fubuki, who aims to be a photographer, hasn't traveled to so many places.
After all, he also needs to collect cards, and secondly, he doesn't have Tenjoin Hikari's dimensional gate technology.
In the months before the tournament, Fubuki had been visiting mountains. With his good image and his past victory over the Mountain Guardian, plus the fact that he was also good with children, he finally gained new power and obtained the coordinates of this mountain.
It seems Fubuki really hasn't been idle.
"As long as this card is on the field, the Attack and Defense of Winged Beast-Type Wind Attribute monsters increase by 300 points."
"Then..." Fubuki slowly revealed the Ancestral Divine Bird card in his hand, showing it to his opponent. "Once per turn, reveal a Level 5 or higher Winged Beast-Type Wind Attribute monster in your hand to your opponent. This turn, you can reduce the number of Tributes required for a Tribute Summon of a Winged Beast monster by 1!"
"Wait... this effect, could it be." Kaiser realized the meaning of this sentence.
Since it's to reduce the materials, then...
"That's right. Exactly so—the 3rd effect of Divine Bird's Sacred Mountain! Once per turn, if you control a Winged Beast-Type Wind Attribute monster, activate this effect. Summon 1 Winged Beast monster!
I Tribute Summon Divine Bird Simorgh—
Call upon the overlord of the raging winds, welcome the invaders, summon the divine wind!
Tribute Summon!
Level 8, Ancestral Divine Bird Simorgh!"
Golden feathers fell from the sky, a cry rang out, and a large bird with golden wings and a divine halo slowly descended.
Ancestral Divine Bird Simorgh, Level 8, Wind Attribute, Winged Beast, Attack Power 2900→3200.
"So it's this kind of effect!" Kaiser instantly realized the bad part.
Ancestral Divine Bird Simorgh is a classic card, and many people know it.
It's treated as a Normal Monster in the hand, and as long as it's on the field, the Tributes required for a Wind Attribute Tribute Summon are reduced by one—in other words, as long as Sacred Mountain and Simorgh are on the field, can't you Tribute Summon a Tribute Monster once per turn without any Tributes?!
More importantly, Ancestral Divine Bird also has another effect!
"The monster effect of Ancestral Divine Bird Simorgh: When this card is Tribute Summoned using only Wind Attribute monsters as Tributes, return up to two cards your opponent controls to their hand."
Fubuki slowly moved his arm, slowly pointing to Kaiser's field: "I choose... Cyber Dragon Nova and your Cyber Twin Dragon!"
Fierce winds howled, and violent gales turned into tornadoes, engulfing the two different models of Cyber Dragons on the field. The two Cyber Dragons struggled left and right, trying their best to resist, but in the end, they were blown back to his deck by the fierce wind.
Kaiser's face was slightly stiff.
"Hiss... In that case, if Simorgh attacks Cyber World Serpent, and then Shooting Black Dragon attacks directly, Fubuki will win!?
"This is too exaggerated. That Fubuki-senpai is actually suppressing Kaiser!"
"Not only that, but from beginning to end, all of Kaiser's actions have not exceeded Fubuki's expectations—"
At this time, everyone could finally realize that Fubuki, the 'King' of Duel Academy, who was as famous as Kaiser, wasn't just a boast!
"Battle, Ryo!" The black flames on Fubuki's body burned fiercely, even turning his clothes red. "Simorgh attacks Cyber World Serpent!"
The divine bird rose, and the golden feathers on its body shot at the World Serpent like rain. In just a moment, the World Serpent turned into scrap and disappeared from the world.
"Then, Shooting Star Dragon attacks directly!"
Shooting Black Dragon's attack power is now 4100 points!
If a direct attack is successful, then Kaiser will undoubtedly lose!
"Open the Set Card! Trap Card, Cyber Overflow!"
"Banish any number of 'Cyber Dragon' from your hand, Graveyard, and face-up monsters you control. After that, destroy cards your opponent controls up to the number banished!"
On the card art, electric light emanates from Cyber Dragon's body, as if it's about to collapse at any moment.
Just like Kaiser now.
"Cyber Overflow. Are you going to banish cards from your hand?" Fubuki wasn't surprised to see this card.
He was indeed prepared.
"No, I'm going to banish Cyber Dragons from the Graveyard!"
"Graveyard?" Kaiser's Graveyard shouldn't have any Cyber Dragons.
Or is it...
"Yes, there are." Kaiser showed a forced smile on his face. "Xyz Summoning leaves the field and returns to the Extra Deck, but its Xyz Materials will enter the Graveyard."
Fubuki frowned slightly, but fortunately he was wearing a mask, so Kaiser didn't notice it.
He made a slight mistake.
This can't be helped. He hasn't seen Xyz Monsters, so he didn't handle the details well.
"Banish the Cyber Dragon in the Graveyard, destroy the Shooting Black Dragon on your field!"
A Cyber Dragon covered in electricity flew out of the Graveyard, howling and rushing towards the Shooting Black Dragon. There was a crackling sound, and the Cyber Dragon was destroyed.
"Good!"
"He survived this turn!"
Many viewers watched with sweaty palms, and didn't even think about which handsome guy to support.
"Heh—indeed, using this method, you destroyed Shooting Black Dragon, but don't forget, Shooting Black Dragon also has an effect!"
"Ugh..."
"The monster effect of Shooting Black Dragon: If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, target 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target!"
"Ah!"
"Come on, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
A pillar of fire rose again.
The Black Dragon officially appeared in this duel!
Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Dragon, Attack Power 2400.
"A monster Special Summoned during the Battle Phase can declare an attack. I use Red-Eyes Black Dragon to attack you directly!"
"Black Flare!"
Red-Eyes Black Dragon took a deep breath, and then spat out a black fireball. With the blessing of the storm, the fireball flew to Kaiser almost instantly.
"Ahhhhh—"
The flames hit Kaiser head-on. In just an instant, the piercing pain ran through his body, mind, and soul. The white Photon Suit flashed as if it couldn't withstand this attack.
Ryo Marufuji, LP: 3900→1500.
Kaiser knelt on the ground, flames spreading and burning him, scorching his skin red and even cracking it.
"Ryo!"
"Kaiser!"
Asuka, Manjoume and others exclaimed!
"Kaiser-sama!!!" Some of Kaiser's female fans screamed.
"Aniki!" Sho Marufuji couldn't wait to stick his face into the screen and directly cross over.
Kaiser slowly regained his senses. He struggled to stand up, cold sweat flowing on his forehead, but with a smile on his face, he stubbornly said, "Hmph, it doesn't hurt."
"Haha... I really like your stubbornness. Set a card and end my turn." Fubuki laughed loudly.
Kaiser looked at the Set Card.
Fubuki has a total of two Set Cards. One is undoubtedly 'Red-Eyes Insight' that he just used to send Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the Graveyard, so that Shooting Black Dragon can continue to battle and search. If he remembers correctly, the effect of Red-Eyes Insight is that if you control a Red-Eyes monster, you can revive 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard.
Perhaps, Fubuki's deck has some high-level Winged Beast Normal Monsters.
And the other card has never been used.
"My turn, draw."
He looked at the card in his hand, his face a little bad.
"Activate the Magic Card, Graceful Charity. Draw three cards, then discard two cards."
He drew three more cards, but his face didn't get any better.
That Fubuki has calculated everything, so he can only use cards that he doesn't usually use, rare cards.
He glanced at the Cyberdark series and took a deep breath: "I discard Cyberdark Horn and Cyberdark Keel, and then, in Defense Position, I Summon Cyber Valley."
A mechanical dragon that looked lifeless slowly rose from the ground.
Cyber Valley, Level 1, Light Attribute, Machine, Attack Power/Defense Power 0.
He didn't draw a card that could change the situation, so he could only find a way to delay it.
"Set a card and end my turn."
He kept panting. He could feel the fierce wind in the air, like a knife, and he could also feel the hot flames rising in the air.
He thought about Fubuki's words, and he was also thinking about what Fubuki had done.
Although he didn't know what Darkness was, Fubuki did show that even if he really used the power of Darkness, he could still forcibly use his own cards with his own will.
And thinking about himself...
Hasn't he also relied on his own consciousness and Photon equipment to capture a Fusion soldier who used Numbers during this time?
But... he never thought about what Inner Cyber was all about!
