But, although he wasn't the same person, although he obeyed his "brother's" orders, he didn't want to just casually give away his power from when he was alive. So during this time, he observed Tenjo Hikari from the shadows for a long time.
His interactions with his companions, his understanding of Polymerization, all greatly met his requirements, and even more so, in duels, this Darkness Power pleased him.
However—
If it's only to this degree!
It's better to just die together, saving oneself from being noticed by the Red Dragon!!
"It's my turn, draw!" Skull Knight suddenly drew a card.
"At this moment, I activate a Set Card—" Tenjo Hikari suddenly activated a Trap Card, then squinted and smiled slightly at Skull Knight, "Shaddoll Core!"
A giant Crystal head appeared on the field, accompanied by many mournful calls of spirits.
Ever since the Crystal absorbed the pain of many spirits, the grievances on this card really became tangible.
Seeing the card also filled with Darkness Power, the ghost fire in Skull Knight's eyes slightly flared up for a moment.
"This card can transform into a Monster, Special Summon onto the field. At that time, it'll become a LV9 Dark Attribute Spellcaster-Type Effect Monster with 1450 ATK and 1950 DEF, existing on the field!
At that time, when performing a Fusion Summon of a Shaddoll Fusion Monster, it can serve as a replacement for the Fusion Material with the attribute documented on the card!"
At this moment!
Tenjo Hikari's [Victory] was already established!
Skull Knight watched Tenjo Hikari's maneuvers, feeling somewhat perplexed, he glanced at his hand cards, chuckled twice, then revealed a Monster: "I Normal Summon, Ghost Wyvern, the Underworld Dragon!"
Ghost Wyvern, Dark Attribute, LV 4, Zombie-Type, 1700 ATK.
"This card can be activated if Summon·Special Summoned successfully. I can add a [Youhe] from the Deck to my Hand Card... Hmm?"
He discovered that his Deck was completely unmoving.
What's going on?
He's using not a mechanical Duel Disk, but an ancient Duel Disk used by priests; it couldn't possibly malfunction, could it?
"Sorry, when Thunder Dragon Colossus is on the field, the opponent cannot use any method other than drawing cards to add cards from the Deck to the Hand Card!"
"Lockdown effect, quite an astonishing power." At this point, he started re-evaluating this Monster called Thunder Dragon Colossus. No wonder Tenjo Hikari defended this Thunder Dragon so much; even if it's destroyed, it needs to be summoned again.
"But, never mind... As long as Netherworld Dragon attacks, your life's candle in the wind will instantly be snuffed out—"
Its mouth moved up and down, chuckling, then it revealed other cards: "I activate Spell Card, Book of Life, this card can banish a Monster Card from your Graveyard to resurrect a Zombie-Type Monster from my Graveyard.
I banish a Thunder Dragon from your Graveyard, resurrecting Ghost Lancer!" In this way, no matter what strange Trap Card Tenjo Hikari has on the field, with Ghost Lancer's piercing effect, he can deal piercing damage, enough to secure victory in this round!
"At this moment, I activate a Set Card!"
"Continuous Trap Card!"
"Shaddoll Schism!"
"This card is also a dedicated Shaddoll Fusion Card; it can banish the Fusion Materials decided by Shaddoll Fusion Monsters from the game to perform a Fusion Summon of a Shaddoll Monster!"
"Graveyard and Field..."
But at this moment, Tenjo Hikari only had Shaddoll Fusion Material on the field.
"I banish Shaddoll Core and Shaddoll Falco from my field—" In the void, countless Puppet Strings wrapped around wildly, paving the way for that existence together.
"Listen!" Tenjo Hikari slowly placed a Monster Card from the Extra Deck onto the field, "Voice of God, Word of God, comprehend and analyze this divine command!
Fusion Summon!
Descend!
El Shaddoll Winda!"
A green-haired puppet manipulates everything and descends boomingly onto the field.
Her ten fingers are all connected to Puppet Strings, manipulating not only the Phantom Dragon beside her, but even the blonde-haired girl and dolphin beside her are grasped by her Puppet Strings.
El Shaddoll Winda, LV 5, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, 2200 ATK.
Meanwhile, on Skull Knight's field, the undead also revived onto the field.
Ghost Lancer, the Underworld Spearman, LV 5, Dark Attribute, Zombie-Type, 2000 ATK.
"El Shaddoll Winda? Is that the name of the Monster?" Sensing the terrifying darkness within Winda, Skull Knight slowly nodded.
Though the level isn't high, the darkness within this Monster is definitely no less than the Netherworld Dragon!
However, only 2200 ATK...
"At this moment, the effect of Shaddoll Schism continues processing!"
"After Fusion Summon, you can choose a Monster on the opponent's field possessing the same attribute as the Monster Special Summoned by this effect and send it to the Graveyard! To the Netherworld—Netherworld Dragon!"
"Awoooo!!!!" Netherworld Dragon roared and struggled, but its body was forcefully dragged by countless Puppet Strings back to where it belonged.
Before long, the Netherworld Dragon, unwilling to return home, descended to the Graveyard.
"I see, it's that kind of effect?" Skull Knight glanced down at the card sent to the Graveyard, then turned back to look at Tenjo Hikari, the ghost fire in his eyes burned gently, "However, if it's only this much, it cannot prevent the Netherworld Dragon's return—
