"My turn, draw!"
Marufuji Ryo drew another card.
Of course, everyone knew that the card he drew was the Cyber Dragon that had just been bounced back to the top of the deck. Cyber Dragon, once known as the monster with the strongest offensive power, still couldn't overcome Wind Emperor.
"Activate the Magic Card 'Angel's Charity,'" Marufuji Ryo said, "draw three cards from the deck and then discard two cards from my hand."
He casually drew two cards and discarded them, but then one card popped out.
"The discarded card is the Magic Card 'Card of Compensation,' draw two cards from the deck." (Original Card)
After glancing at the newly supplemented ammunition, Marufuji Ryo quickly formulated a strategy.
"With a monster on the opponent's field and none on mine, I Special Summon 'Cyber Dragon' once again!"
[Cyber Dragon, Attack Power 2100]
"Then activate the Cover Card, Continuous Trap 'Restricted Revival'!" Marufuji Ryo said, "Revive the monster with attack power below 1000 from the graveyard in attack mode.
The monster I want to revive is the one I just discarded..."
He retrieved a card automatically ejected from the Duel Disc's graveyard location.
"Special Summon 'Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures - Light'!"
[Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures - Light, Attack Power 1000]
"Then activate the effect of the Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures. By sacrificing Fusion Material monsters on the field, including myself, I can use this card as a substitute for one Fusion Material to Special Summon a Light Attribute Fusion Monster from the Fusion Card Deck!"
He pointed at the Cyber Dragon and Curse-Sealed Creatures on the field.
"I will sacrifice 'Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures - Light' and 'Cyber Dragon', using Curse-Sealed Creatures as a substitute for another 'Cyber Dragon' to Fusion! Appear now——
——Cyber Twin Dragons!"
The Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures released a powerful stream of light, transforming into a vortex. The Curse-Sealed Creatures' body transformed into the shape of a Cyber Dragon and disappeared along with the other Cyber Dragon in a glow.
The silver-white metallic body formed the shell, a temper-hardened physique, with a metallic texture that's hard yet smooth, like a silver armor.
Two dragon heads were positioned on both sides, and streams of electricity danced across its body like silver snakes, sometimes converging into bright arcs.
[Cyber Twin Dragons, Attack Power 2800]
The students watching were already excited: "It's appeared! The strongest monster below Termination Dragon of Caesar, Cyber Twin Dragons!"
Although the anime said it's the strongest monster below Termination Dragon, in early competitions, Twin Dragons often rated higher than Termination Dragon, frequently appearing in competitive environments.
"It's not over yet," Marufuji Ryo shouted, "I'll activate the Magic Card 'Revive the Dead'! Special Summon the monster from the graveyard.
I'll revive the 'Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures - Light' that just went to the graveyard as Fusion Material!"
[Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures - Light, Defense Power 1600]
"Then I'll Normal Summon 'Original Electronic Dragon' from my hand!"
[Original Electronic Dragon, Attack Power 1100]
An Original Electronic Dragon in Level Three, its image is like the prototype of the Cyber Dragon. For a long time, it was the only card that could substitute the Cyber Dragon effect, but as the Cyber Dragon Card Deck strengthened over the generations with more components capable of substituting Cyber Dragon, it has been completely phased out.
"The 'Original Electronic Dragon's' effect allows it to be treated as 'Cyber Dragon' while it's on the field," said Marufuji Ryo, "So, I'll activate 'Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures - Light's effect once more!
Sacrificing the Curse-Sealed Creatures and the Original Electronic Dragon treated as Cyber Dragon for another Light Attribute Fusion Monster Special Summon!"
The Curse-Sealed Creatures transform into the shape of Cyber Dragon, and two Cyber Dragons fuse in the glowing vortex. Electric light bursts, and the twin-headed metal giant dragon roars as it appears.
"Electronic Twin Dragons No. 2, summon!"
[Cyber Twin Dragons, Attack Power 2800]
Yugen mused: "You actually have a No. 2..."
Well, the anime clearly showed Caesar having two Electronic Ultimate Dragons, so having two Twin Dragons isn't surprising.
The heated students already felt the adrenaline before the battle even started.
"No wonder Caesar, instantly summoning two Cyber Twin Dragons! Two of them!"
The student in the blue uniform was particularly excited.
"Cyber Twin Dragons possess the powerful effect of attacking twice in one turn, if there are two of them..."
"They can attack four times in one turn!" another student quickly joined in.
What could four attacks with 2800 attack power mean?
After defeating the opponent, they could owe a life instead.
"Your emperor and my Cyber Dragon, let's see who truly holds the strongest power in Duel Academy!"
Marufuji Ryo shouted.
"Battle. First, the first Cyber Twin Dragons attack the 'Wind Emperor Leiza'!"
The two mouths of the Twin Dragons simultaneously brewed flames and electric light, with the left side releasing a dazzling burst of light toward the Wind Emperor!
Yugen snapped his fingers: "Then activate the Trap 'Wind Spirit Technique - Ya.' Sacrifice a Wind Attribute monster on your side, select one card on the opponent's field and return it to the bottom of the deck.
I sacrifice the Wind Attribute 'Wind Emperor Leiza' and return 'Cyber Twin Dragons' to the bottom of the deck."
Wind Emperor Leiza's arms spread wide, erupting as if burning itself out. The power of the storm burst forth from him, transforming into a green tornado that completely engulfed the Twin Dragons, dispersing it in the storm until it exited the field.
"Ugh, it actually bounced back to the deck...
The Twin Dragons, painstakingly summoned, got blown away just like that, and even Marufuji Ryo couldn't help frowning.
But it's okay.
What will you do with the second one?
"Then Cyber Twin Dragons No. 2, direct attack!"
Wind Emperor Leiza and Twin Dragons No. 1 were forced into a one-for-one exchange. Though Yugen earned advantage, the field now lay empty. The consecutive strikes of Twin Dragons No. 2 still secured victory!
"Activate Trap 'Phoenix Wings' Bursting Wind.'
Yugen revealed a card from the backfield and discarded a card from his hand.
"Discard a card from your hand and return a card from the opponent's field to the top of the deck. I discard a card and return 'Cyber Twin Dragons' No. 2 to the top of the deck."
The apparition of Nephthys Phoenix God appeared, spreading its wings with a forceful beat. A storm of flames swirled up, the fiery gale devouring Twin Dragons No. 2's body, as the Steel Giant Dragon let out a feeble wail, then exited the field in the storm.
Marufuji Ryo: "..."
The students watching: "..."
Ah, now both sides are in a clear field.
"Really close, really close, as expected of Caesar," Yugen said with a smile, "Suddenly a four-strike attack by the Two-headed Dragon could have completely failed without notice."
Marufuji Ryo: "......"
He suddenly felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
It's as if you're playing a competitive online game as a hero with extremely high difficulty but incredible style. You ramp up your speed, move in a dazzling manner, unleash a series of powerful operations, maxing out all your skills to the ultimate level.
Afterward, the opponent, some brainless stats monster, casually presses a button, a single hit causing 999 damage, and wham, you're instantly defeated.
After the hit, that fool even wipes his sweat, saying how dangerous it was, fortunately being the superior skillful one...
