Restriction Removal!
This instant kill Divine Artifact exclusive to the Mechanical Race can grant ordinary Mechanical Race monsters the powerful force of a one-hit kill. The three Cyber Dragons on Caesar's field immediately each receive amplification, blue electric snakes swirling around their silver steel bodies in a dance, with energy output instantly skyrocketing exponentially!
[Cyber Dragon, Attack Power 2100→Attack Power 4200] x2
[Original Cyber Dragon, Attack Power 1100→Attack Power 2200]
The total output exceeded ten thousand instantly again!
The few students watching were already dumbfounded.
Another OTK again?
Is Caesar an OTK Jinchuriki?
To be continuously thwarted and blocked like this, yet still maintain such amazing resilience, continuously setting up OTK formations...
"Is this... Caesar's power?" said a Blue Dormitory student, dumbfounded.
"The battle continues. If you can withstand even this, show me, Yugen!"
Marufuji Ryo shouted.
"Cyber Dragon's triple attack!
First, the first Cyber Dragon attacks 'Thunder Emperor Zaborger'!
Evolutionary Shockwave!"
The Cyber Dragon with doubled Attack Power had already surpassed and even crushed King Level combat power. The energy surge enveloped in electric light shot out like a wild stallion, illuminating the entire field with an unstoppable momentum, striking the Thunder Emperor.
The Emperor's armor shattered, and the beam easily penetrated his defenses. His massive body disintegrated under the energy impact, with vast electric light bursting forth from his fractured armor.
[Yugen, LP 4000→LP 2200]
Yugen lightly raised an arm in front, smiling slightly.
"Impressive."
"Second attack!" Marufuji Ryo shouted again, "Second Cyber Dragon attacks 'Evil Emperor Gaius'!"
The Evolutionary Shockwave double hit, this time targeting the Evil Emperor. The overlord in Darkness tried hard to resist, but the barriers were pierced instantly as well, with the dark armor crumbling against the Evolutionary Shockwave.
The immense body of the Evil Emperor also shattered under the beam, with the overwhelming Dark Energy within him erupting out, as if opening a portal to the abyss, endless Darkness surging forth until his form dissolved.
[Yugen, LP 2200→LP 400]
Yugen staggered back a few steps under the impact, black smoke dissipating from his body, frowning slightly.
"The Emperors are annihilated!"
The student commentator was extremely excited.
"Caesar has finally broken through the defenses of the Master of the Yellow Robe after so much hardship! Could it be that today is the day!?"
The moment of breaching the shadow was a historic moment for the Duel Academy shrouded in gloom for half a year, a great event celebrated by the whole school!
"The final blow." Marufuji Ryo shouted, "Original Cyber Dragon, direct attack!"
The Original Cyber Dragon, with its amplification from Restriction Removal, opened its mouth, casting a blaze! Endless flames and electric light swept over Yugen as if to engulf him and his dwindling LP...
BOOM!!!
The sky-reaching explosion, with rolling black smoke rising into the sky, covered half the field.
Marufuji Ryo panted lightly, realizing that at some point, he was drenched in sweat, with sweat dripping down his cheek to his chin.
Finally... did he win?
Logically, it should be over.
But for some reason, he did not feel the sense of victory.
Instead, it felt as though his attack only triggered a dangerous fuse, dragging him into even deeper Darkness.
The smoke cleared.
[Yugen, LP 5400]
"Oh dear, that was dangerous. A hair's breadth away." Yugen made a gesture of wiping sweat, "Almost got me there."
Marufuji Ryo: "???"
He couldn't help but rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Life Points... 5400!?
"Why... why..."
"Just at the last moment, I activated the Trap 'Rainbow Life'."
Yugen smiled, revealing a Trap from the Grave.
"Rainbow Life, discard one card from the hand to activate. All damage this turn is turned into 0, and my Life Points revert to the value they were at the start of the turn... which was 4000.
Additionally, on that basis, my Life Points recover all damage taken from when this card was activated this turn." (Original effect)
The Physical Card effect was changed to transform all damage taken this turn into Life Points recovery.
Simply put, in the animation, it absorbed damage before this card was activated, with the Physical Card version absorbing damage after activation.
"I see." Marufuji Ryo understood, "After activating Rainbow Life, LP returned to 4000, absorbing the combined damage from the two Cyber Dragons, totaling 3600..."
"That's right, so my Life Points recover to 7600." Yugen nodded, "Then I received the direct attack from 'Original Cyber Dragon,' taking 2200 damage."
[Yugen, LP 5400]
Marufuji Ryo gritted his teeth.
He had truly given it his all, he and his Cyber Dragons. But even after doing all this, such intense attacks felt like they vanished without a trace.
Though he was unwilling to admit it, he could feel it.
This guy was still unfazed.
The student commentator also suddenly deflated.
"Darn it, even this can't break through the defenses of that person from the Yellow Dormitory..."
No, instead, it felt like his LP was increasing.
Also, Restriction Removal has side effects; monsters under its effect self-destruct at the end of the turn. If the attack doesn't finish him off in one hit, the tide will turn drastically.
Not only was Yugen not defeated, but he absorbed a large amount of LP, while Marufuji Ryo's front row would be wiped clean due to self-destruction. This time, there's no more "Temporary Truce" protection.
This situation was extremely dangerous.
"Was it... still impossible?"
A Blue Dormitory student murmured.
To him, Caesar was already strong enough and did well... at least far stronger than them regular students.
But even so, they were still toyed with by the Master of the Yellow Robe...
The future of the Academy seemed increasingly bleak.
"The risk of power is high." Yugen said, "The side effects of Restriction Removal, at the end of your turn, all your Cyber Dragons will be destroyed."
"I know."
Marufuji Ryo said.
"Main Phase 2. I normally summon 'Mecha Team - Peacekeeper.'
[Mecha Team - Peacekeeper, Attack Power 500]
"Activate Magic Card 'Mechanical Duplication Technique.' " Marufuji Ryo said, "Choose one Mechanical Race monster on your field with Attack Power 500 or less, and Special Summon up to two cards with the same name from the Deck."
He spread open the Card Deck and drew a card.
"I still have one last Monster Zone, so I can Special Summon one more Peacekeeper. I Special Summon the second 'Mecha Team - Peacekeeper'!"
[Mecha Team - Peacekeeper, Attack Power 500]
"Mecha Team - Peacekeeper's effect, once per turn, Peacekeeper can equip itself to one Mechanical Race monster on the field as equipment.
I equip each of the two Peacekeepers onto the two 'Cyber Dragons.'"
The two small mecha transformed, fitting onto the Cyber Dragons like layers of armor.
"Then set two cards, and end the turn." Marufuji Ryo said, "End Phase, the side effects of 'Restriction Removal,' both Cyber Dragons must be destroyed.
However, as equipped, 'Mecha Team - Peacekeeper,' if the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle or effect, this card can be destroyed instead.
Thus, both Peacekeepers each substitute for the destruction of the two Cyber Dragons!"
With two explosions, two Fireballs and black smoke erupted on the two Cyber Dragons. The two sets of small armor protecting their bodies were blown to pieces, but the two Cyber Dragons remained intact. Only the Original Cyber Dragons without equipment left the field due to the self-destruct side effects.
"Also, 'Mecha Team - Peacekeeper's other effect: when this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Grave, add one Alliance monster from the Deck to the hand."
Marufuji Ryo drew a card from the Deck.
"I add the Alliance monster 'Armored Electronic Wings' to my hand."
