Black Flame Bullet, activate!
A Magic Card with the same name as True Red Eye's attack skill, similar to Kaiba's "Destruction Bursting Gale Bullet." However, while Blue-Eyes' skill destroys the entire field, True Red Eye is more inclined towards directly causing damage to the player.
True Red Eye's mouth churned with black flames, and a sphere of pitch-black fire blasted towards Yugen. Yugen raised his arm to block, feeling the black flames surge in front of him, exploding into blazing heat. His chest was smothered with an oppressive heaviness, a scorching sensation piercing through, detonating centered around the duelist.
[Yugen, LP 5600→LP 3200]
"Of course, True Red-Eyed Black Dragon cannot attack during the turn it uses this skill," Shadow Blizzard said, "but now I will make True Red Eye evolve once more!
Use the ' True Red-Eyed Black Dragon' on the field as a tribute!
The mightiest darkness dragon, let the flames in those true red eyes incinerate everything in the world! Descend here—"
He raised the card high in his hand. The ground beneath True Red Eye cracked open, and spiraling pillars of lava consumed it. Dust and magma intertwined into an apocalyptic scene, like a symphony of chaos and destruction.
The heart of the boiling lava materialized, the dazzling red glow like dawn breaking at daybreak, piercing through the dense darkness and heat. The ancient dragon race's bloodline awoke, the lava seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and a giant dragon covered in dark red scales, burning eyes, rose slowly, as if reborn from the abyss.
True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon, summon!
[True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon, Attack Power 2400]
"True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon can only be special summoned by using the True Red-Eyed Black Dragon on the field as a tribute," Shadow Blizzard shouted, "and its attack power increases by 300 points for each Dragon-type monster in my graveyard!
Currently, I have Black Dragon Chick, two True Red-Eyes, and three Dragon-types sent to the graveyard just now by 'Sixth Sense.'
Therefore, the attack power increases by a total of 1800!"
[True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon, Attack Power 2400→Attack Power 4200]
"The attack power boost of True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon is a continuous effect that doesn't require activation to be effective, so 'Inhaling Dark Shadow Magic Mirror' can't affect it." Shadow Blizzard stepped forward and shouted sternly.
"Despicable tricks are useless in the face of the ultimate power of True Red Eye! Go, True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon, attack the covered 'Guardian Sphinx'!"
If the Sphinx flips successfully next turn, even his Dark Dragon with more than 4000 attack power will be bounced back to its owner's hand. Naturally, he must get rid of this troublesome sphinx first.
"And at this moment, I activate the cover card, the Continuous Trap 'Dragon's Reverse Scale'!" Shadow Blizzard declared, "As long as this card exists on the field, your Dragon-type monsters can inflict piercing damage when attacking defense-position monsters!"
[Guardian Sphinx, Defense Power 2400]
The Sphinx flipped, but it couldn't resist the greatly enhanced True Red Eye. The dark light bullet pierced through the Sphinx's body without further ado, exploding with a bang.
[Yugen, LP 3200→LP 1400]
"Set one card, turn end."
This turn, flawlessly counterattacked, Shadow Blizzard couldn't help but look up and laugh heartily.
"How is it, this is the power that surpasses True Red Eye, True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon!" Shadow Blizzard shouted, "Even Joey Wheeler from the Duel City back then couldn't grasp the hidden secret technique of True Red Eye!
Do you still dare to say that I cannot harness the power of the Black Dragon!?"
Yugen squinted, thinking to himself that comparing cards from now to Joey Wheeler ten years ago was indeed quite brazen. It's been ten years; who knows how much Joey's True Red Eye has evolved now...
"My turn, draw."
Yugen drew a card and calmly waved his hand.
"Flip summon the face-down monster on the field, Dragon Rider."
[Dragon Rider, Attack Power 700]
Yugen: "When Dragon Rider is flipped, you gain control of one face-up Dragon-type monster on the opponent's field."
He pointed at the dark dragon on Shadow Blizzard's field.
"I'll borrow your True Red Eye's ultimate secret technique for a bit."
Shadow Blizzard's smile froze again.
The duel is much like life, full of ups and downs.
Watching that small rider arrogantly stride forward, about to jump onto his True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon's back, Shadow Blizzard couldn't help but shout angrily.
"That won't do! Activate the Trap 'Illusionary Curse'! The effect of one monster on the opponent's field is negated, and its attack power decreases by 500 points!" (Original Card)
Like a magic array, the curse instantly bound the Dragon Rider, immobilizing it within the array, failing to mount the True Red Eye's back.
"Do you think anyone can harness the power of True Red Eye!? It's not that easy!" Shadow Blizzard said, "Only I am recognized by True Red Eye..."
Yugen: "Activate the Magic Card 'Revive the Dead.' From your graveyard, revive 'True Red-Eyed Black Dragon' to my field."
Shadow Blizzard: "Kisama (You bastard)!!"
But the revival had already been activated, and Shadow Blizzard could only watch as his Tamashi was summoned to the opponent's field under the revival's seal.
[True Red-Eyed Black Dragon, Attack Power 2400]
True Red Eye landed with another dragon roar, not exuding a king's majesty, but rather filled with deep helplessness.
It might be saying boss, I didn't mean to, though I'm standing on the opposite side now, I'm still thinking about you in my heart...
Shadow Blizzard gritted his teeth: "But even if you revive True Red Eye, it's still not a match for my True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon..."
"Activate the Magic Card 'Dragon Destruction Certificate.'" Yugen said, "Add a 'Destructive Knight' from the deck or graveyard to your hand."
Shadow Blizzard's eyelid twitched.
Destructive Knight?
This guy, could it be...
"Activate the Magic Card 'Fusion.'"
Yugen said calmly.
"Fusion the 'Destructive Knight' from my hand and the 'True Red-Eyed Black Dragon' on the field.
The fusion condition is Destruction Sword plus any Dragon-type monster. Fusion summon!"
Yugen raised his hand.
"By obtaining the power of Divine Dragon to form the ultimate Dragon Slayer Knight, descend now—
—Dragon Destruction Knight - Destruction Knight, summon!"
[Dragon Destruction Knight - Destruction Knight, Attack Power 2800]
Shadow Blizzard opened his mouth, his eyes full of shock, unable to speak any longer.
Dragon Destruction Sword, this guy...
"When Dragon Destruction Knight is on the field, the opponent can't activate any Dragon-type monster effects," Yugen said, "and all Dragon-types on the opponent's field change to defense position."
[True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon, Attack Power 4200→Defense Power 2000]
Though True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon can gain attack power through dragons in the graveyard, its defense power cannot increase with it.
"Additionally, for each Dragon-type monster on the opponent's field or in the graveyard, Dragon Destruction Sword's attack power increases by 1000," Yugen said, "You have seven Dragon-types in total on your field and graveyard, so the attack power increases by seven thousand!"
[Dragon Destruction Knight - Destruction Knight, Attack Power 2800→Attack Power 9800]
Attack power ninety-eight hundred!
Shadow Blizzard gritted his teeth, looking at that invincible Dragon Slaying Sword, looking at the mysterious man in front of him known as "Revolver."
Dragon Destruction Knight, a super rare card that first appeared in the recent Duel City tournament. It had never been publicly seen before, a new form of the Destruction Sword, and short days after its debut caused a worldwide sensation.
And the Duelist who possessed this super rare Destruction Sword in that tournament...
"Attack now," Yugen said, "Dragon Destruction Knight, attack the 'True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon.'
And when Dragon Destruction Sword attacks a defense position monster, it deals piercing damage... which is seventy-eight hundred points of piercing damage."
The Knight lifted its Dragon Slaying Sword, endless Sword Qi pouring down like a flood. True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon raised its head, letting out a powerless wail.
Facing that unmatched Sword Qi, Shadow Blizzard's eyes widened, never once looking away from the white-robed mysterious man before him until the very last moment.
"You...you are..."
"...King..."
But the words never came to completion.
Destruction Sword Flash.
The sword light fell, slicing True Red-Eyed Dark Dragon in half, the endless sword light sweeping through its body.
Even until the last moment, its eyes remained wide open.
If he had known the identity of this person earlier, he wouldn't have been so arrogant. Perhaps he wouldn't have even faced him and would have directly turned to run away to avoid confrontation.
Unfortunately, he realized it too late.
And sadly, he would no longer have the opportunity to share this shocking discovery with others.
