Discard any number of cards from your hand and bounce them back...
Does this mean you can clear the field in one go?
Skeleton Knight's heart was shaken.
Not only can you bounce back any number of cards from your opponent's hand, but the old version of Light Gun's effect had no limit on usage.
This means that if you gain additional cards in your hand during this turn after using this effect, the Light Gun effectively replenishes with extra ammunition and can activate its effect again. This characteristic easily reminds people of specific LOOPS where Light Gun can bounce back infinitely as long as the LOOP fulfills the condition of "replenishing the hand repeatedly."
Even if the opponent attempts to summon new monsters or set new cards after Light Gun uses its effect, Light Gun can still continue to bounce them away.
And it's surprising that a monster with such a vicious effect is only Six-Star, and its summoning condition is unrestricted "Tuner + more than 1 non-Tuner monster," born in an era of Synchro Summoning when the environment speed was far inferior to today's.
Therefore, it can be said that from the moment Light Gun was born, this card was destined for a long-term prohibition fate.
"I discard two cards from my hand," Yugen said, "targeting both 'Netherworld Dragon - Undead Dragon' and the Frost Monarch's 'Dark Soul Derivative.'"
Yugen discarded two cards from his hand, sending them to the graveyard of the D-Wheel.
"Ice Spear Spin!"
The icy vortex from the Light Spear Dragon shot out like an ice-blue torrent, splitting into two mid-course, respectively targeting the Undead Dragon and the Frost Monarch soul extracted from the Undead Dragon.
The derivative and the Undead Dragon were both struck by the snow vortex, turning into phantoms in the explosive cold wave. The Netherworld Dragon reluctantly became illusory, finally enveloped by the cold wave, flew back into Skeleton Knight's extra deck, while the Dark Soul Derivative had nowhere to go, self-destructing on the spot and eliminated.
"Battle," Yugen said, "Ice Barrier Dragon - Light Spear Dragon, direct attack!"
Light Gun opened its mouth, spewing an icy stream. The low temperature swiftly swept down the track, almost freezing Skeleton Knight's zombie horse.
At that moment, Yugen suddenly floored the accelerator, revving the D-Wheel, and the tail of the D-Wheel nearly emitted a transparent vapor during the full-speed push. At the instant of burst speed, the torrent shot by the Light Gun seemed to accelerate a segment, swiftly piercing through Skeleton Knight's back.
Boom!
[Skeleton Knight, LP4000→ LP1700]
"Ahhhh...cough cough."
Skeleton Knight dashed out of the smoke on his horse, coughing violently while clutching his chest involuntarily.
"This pain, this impact..."
Skeleton Knight looked terrifyingly at Yugen, who was gradually slowing down again.
This guy, the previous performance looked evidently like the first encounter with Dark Dash, he thought Yugen should be a rookie. But the sensation of the recent dash impact, this power is completely abnormal.
This guy...did he really master the technique of amplifying the touch of Dark Dash just by demonstrating that single dash impact earlier?
"...Seems a bit out of sync with the monster attack."
Yugen was riding the D-Wheel, muttering softly.
"The burst control could be more precise, dashing is indeed a skillful task, somewhat difficult..."
Skeleton Knight: "..."
The knight suppressed the shock in his heart, turned to look ahead, momentarily speechless.
Monster!
Whoever is disguising as Rex Godwin, they are undoubtedly a monster!
"My turn is over," Yugen said.
Skeleton Knight: "My turn, draw!"
He drew a card and first glanced at the Light Gun suspended above Yugen's field.
"The Ice Barrier Dragon, Light Spear Dragon, is indeed a dreadful dragon. But my strength cannot be easily vanquished like this!
Normal Summon 'Horse-headed Ghost'!"
[Horse-headed Ghost, Attack Power 1700]
"Horse-headed Ghost, huh..." Yugen showed a nostalgic expression.
He wouldn't forget Horse-headed Ghost, as he once developed this card in the GX Dimension's department. In GX, Horse-headed Ghost belonged to Mitsuzawa, a card with a comic effect, a manga-original "Demon Race." After his improvement, the Demon Race turned into an Undead Race, becoming a universal support card for the Undead Race physical card.
However, this is the 5DS Dimension, not the GX Dimension. Due to the 5DS animation timeline and the real-world fact that Horse-headed Ghost had been physicalized long ago, the Horse-headed Ghost in this dimension inherently follows the physical card effect.
Skeleton Knight slowly drew a card from his hand.
"Forcing me to use the strength of this card, you are indeed a formidable knight.
But this is the end—
—Activate Magic Card 'Shadow Fusion - Ghost Fusion'!"
As if tearing space apart, a dimension beyond the void opened up after the crack, releasing a seemingly all-devouring infinite gravity.
"This card allows Fusion Summoning using the Undead Race monsters from your field or card deck!" (Original effect)
This is also an original comic card used by Skeleton Knight, like his ace Netherworld Dragon, and it has been physicalized. However, the physical card effect of Netherworld Dragon is identical to the comic, but Shadow Fusion has been altered.
After physicalization, one must have less LP than the opponent to choose fusion materials from the card deck. It's not just from the card deck, but from hand, card deck, or graveyard can also be fused. However, if you use monsters outside the field as fusion materials, one must be removed from play.
The comic version didn't require having less LP than the opponent to use, couldn't use hand monsters for fusion, and even if chosen from the card deck or graveyard, the materials didn't need removing from play.
"I send the 'Horse-headed Ghost' from the field, and the 'Giant Ghoul Majira' from the card deck to the graveyard for Ghost Fusion!"
The image of the menacing Undead Warrior appeared from the card deck, entwined with Horse-headed Ghost as they're sucked into the dark vortex. The bodies seemed to be crushed by endless pressure in the vortex, recombining into one.
"Using the souls of two deceased, summon the Lord of the Underworld!
Break through the Gate of the Netherworld and appear once more!"
Skeleton Knight yelled loudly.
"Netherworld Dragon - Undead Dragon, return again!!!"
The Netherworld Giant Dragon, bounced back last turn by the Light Gun, descends again carrying a dense aura of death!
[Netherworld Dragon - Undead Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"It came back so quickly," Yugen smiled, "It's really a dragon that clings to its obsession."
Skeleton Knight: "And next, I remove the 'Horse-headed Ghost' sent to the graveyard as fusion material from play, activate its effect!
The Horse-headed Ghost removed from play can Special Summon another Undead Race monster from the graveyard!"
Skeleton Knight displayed the Horse-headed Ghost retrieved from the graveyard and spoke gloomily.
"And then resurrect the other Undead Race monster used as fusion material!
Giant Ghoul - Majira, summon!!!"
