Chapter 496 - Chapter 474: Counter-Surveillance

"Duel King... Yugen!?"

Camilla's face had already changed.

"How is this possible?" she gritted her teeth, "You shouldn't be here now..."

"Did you use bats to observe my movements and deliberately avoid me?" Yugen smiled, "Just like you used bats to track Marufuji Ryo, waiting for him to be alone to strike at the right moment?"

Camilla: "!"

She remained silent, only staring fiercely at Yugen.

After a moment, she said, "You noticed?"

"Yes. My elves helped me locate all your apostles, and you thought you were spying on us through them. But in reverse, through those apostles of yours, I could also know what you were watching, what you were scheming... even what your next steps might be."

Camilla: "!"

Her pupils contracted as she looked in shock at Marufuji Ryo.

She used bat apostles to circle the island, screening students she was interested in to target, and peeped at their card decks in advance for preparation.

But Yugen had turned this against her. By tracking the bats, he predicted the few people Camilla might target and gave a warning to those potential targets in advance.

"So you didn't use any Dragon Race cards..."

"Honestly, I didn't think doing so would be of much use." Marufuji Ryo said, "I've participated in public competitions more than once in the past. If one truly wanted to study, they could know I use the Cyber Dragon Card Deck through my past matches.

So even though Yugen warned me and I swapped to a Pure Dragon Race build when seen by the bats, I didn't expect you to actually fall for it..."

"Well, there's no harm in trying, right?" Yugen chuckled, "Even Professional Duelists sometimes switch decks, which is quite normal.

Besides, Miss Vampire has been used to such tricks for years, deeply believing in the information seen by her apostles. I thought it was quite worth a try."

Camilla gritted her teeth, "Damnable Duel King..."

So cunning and deceitful, actually using false information to mislead her!

In the original works, Camilla would go to any lengths to win a duel and was quite confident in her skills.

In the animation, she appeared directly in front of the academy's people, a red carpet laid straight from the castle to the island, openly challenging everyone saying they could send whoever they wanted, confident she could take down the entire academy.

But now she was obviously restrained. She didn't openly challenge nor publicly provoke, sneakily picking targets in the school instead.

Clearly, this was to avoid Yugen.

Yugen sighed softly.

The title of Duel King brings many conveniences and benefits, but it has its side effects too.

Now, most villains steer clear of this halo, it's even hard to reap any rewards...

"The duel continues." Marufuji Ryo said.

Camilla also composed her emotions, squinting at Marufuji Ryo.

No matter what, she had to concentrate on the duel now. Take care of this person first, then consider how to escape from the Duel King's grasp.

Damn, the insidious and cunning Duel King not only was sneaky himself but also communicated with others. With this, the setup she made to counter the Dragon Race Card Deck was now completely useless...

"Though you fused the Termination Dragon with an Attack Power of four thousand, monsters summoned by the effect of 'Future Fusion' cannot attack this turn." Camilla said solemnly.

"I know," Marufuji Ryo shouted, "Quick Attack Magic 'Fusion Dispel'! Dispelling the fusion of 'Electronic Ultimate Dragon', Special Summoning three Fusion Materials from the graveyard."

The gigantic Termination Dragon surged with electric light, its silver-white shell rapidly separating into three, standing tall on the field.

Three Cyber Dragons!

[Cyber Dragon, Attack Power 2100] x3

"The Equipment Magic 'Future Fusion' loses its equipped target and is naturally destroyed."

The equipment cards in Marufuji Ryo's backfield are destroyed.

"But the Cyber Dragons summoned by Fusion Dispel have no attack limitation." Marufuji Ryo shouted, "Battle! Total attack of three Cyber Dragons!

First, the first Cyber Dragon, attack the 'Undead Werewolf'!"

Camilla gritted her teeth, "This is an instant knockout lineup... A fierce attack type expert?"

Making a move at will resulting in an OTK, that's Caesar's most proficient technique, crushing the opponent with absolute power in the shortest time possible, often when the opponent realized it, they were already torn apart under the relentless bombardment of Evolutionary Light Flame.

"Evolutionary Shockwave!"

The light stream spat from Cyber Dragon's mouth pierced through the Werewolf. Camilla groaned miserably, staggering backward under the impact of the light flame.

[Camilla, LP 4000→LP 3100]

"But the Werewolf is immortal." Camilla shouted, "The effect of Undead Werewolf! When this card is destroyed by battle, a card with the same name can be Special Summoned from the deck."

A golden beam shot out from her card deck.

"Second 'Undead Werewolf' Special Summon!"

The golden light landed, once again transforming into the image of a Werewolf. The Werewolf howled at the moon, the chains in his hands clattering.

"The attack power of the Undead Werewolf summoned through this effect increases by 500." Camilla paused and smiled slightly, "Though, even with a 500-point increase, it's still no match for Cyber Dragon.

Therefore, I choose to display the 'Undead Werewolf' in Defense Position."

The obediently commanded Undead Werewolf crouched down, switching to Defense Position.

[Undead Werewolf, Defense Power 1200]

"Then Cyber Dragon Number Two attacks!" Marufuji Ryo continued to pursue.

Cyber Dragon Number Two also opened its mouth, electric currents flowing from the steel body into its mouth, the shockwave of Evolutionary Light Flame roared out!

The Werewolf was shattered again under the impact of the light flame.

"No matter how many times, it's the same," Camilla said, "Special Summoning the third 'Undead Werewolf' in Defense Position from the deck!"

[Undead Werewolf, Defense Power 1200]

"Then Cyber Dragon Number Three attacks!" Marufuji Ryo shouted, "Evolutionary Shockwave!"

Cyber Dragon fired again, the Werewolf once more shattered under the impact of the light flame, the aftermath sweeping aside, lifting the Vampire's skirt hem, her long white legs faintly visible beneath the skirt.

"There can only be three cards with the same name. In other words, your so-called 'immortal' Werewolves only have three lives at most." Marufuji Ryo shouted, "Now those three lives have been exhausted."

"Tch."

Camilla snorted.

"But now all your three Cyber Dragons have attacked. Although the Werewolf can no longer regenerate, it has completed its mission by defending from the attack."

"Is that really so?" Marufuji Ryo said coldly.

"What?"

Marufuji Ryo had already revealed another card from his hand.

"Speed Attack Magic 'Photon Generation Device'!" Marufuji Ryo said, "Sacrifice two 'Cyber Dragons' on the field to Special Summon 'Electronic Laser Dragon' from hand, deck, or graveyard!"

Two Cyber Dragons vanished from his field, transforming into Laser Giant Dragon that descended amidst swirling Electric Snakes!

Electronic Laser Dragon, summon!

[Electronic Laser Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

Camilla's expression changed drastically, "You can still attack!?"

This is just the first turn!

How many shots are you going to make this turn?

"Direct attack of the Electronic Laser Dragon!" Marufuji Ryo shouted.

The newly appeared Cyber Dragon swung its long tail, firing a laser beam from the tail! Camilla was pierced through by the beam, screaming miserably, her complexion went pale as paper, half-kneeling on the ground.

[Camilla, LP 3100→LP 700]

The Vampire Lady clutched her chest, half kneeling on the ground, her body trembling from the severe pain.

"Damn, not cute at all."

While speaking, she couldn't help but glance viciously at Yugen beside her.

Speaking of which, it's all this guy's fault.

If it weren't for the cunning Duel King misleading her with false information, making her backfield defense seem like a clown...

Camilla's face turned even gloomier.

What a joke.

At this rate, she might... really end up losing.
