[Dragon Knight·D-END] [10☆/Dark]

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

[3000/3000]

Using [D·hero Blood Demon-D] and [D·hero Doctrinaire] as fusion materials, the attack power of [Dragon Knight·D-END] that appeared was slightly lower than that of [D·hero Doctrinaire], but the balance between attack power and defense power was maintained, both of which were 3000 points, which is equivalent to the "attack power of the legendary [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]".

However, his opponent was the [Black Dragon Paladin]. However, unlike the expected 4700 attack power, the [Black Dragon Paladin]'s attack power did not successfully rise to that level.

"The chain just now was C1 [Black Dragon Paladin]'s attack declaration, C2 [Severed Darkness]'s second effect, and then C3's my [D-Fusion]." Ed looked at the [Black Dragon Paladin] on the snowy field, absorbing the scattered power around it, and said, "Because of the rule of last come first served in chain processing, my [Dragon Knight·D-END] was first summoned by [D-Fusion], and then [Severed Darkness] increased the attack power of [Black Dragon Paladin]."

"However, since I sent [D.hero Blood Demon-D] to the Graveyard as a fusion material, it lost the bonus from [D-Power] when it left the field, and by the time the effect of [Severed Darkness] was resolved, its attack power had returned to its original value."

Pointing at the [Black Dragon Paladin], Ed said, "So in the end, the attack power of the [Black Dragon Paladin] will only increase by the original attack power of [D.hero Blood Demon-D] - that is, the same 1900 points!"

[Black Dragon Paladin] [ATK1900→3800]

Although not as high as the originally expected 4700 points, 3800 points is already terrifying. After all, it is 800 points higher than the legendary [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]. Therefore, Ed flexibly chose to place the Fusion Summoned [Dragon Knight·D-END] on the field in defense position, directly avoiding the [Black Dragon Paladin] from attacking it and causing combat damage to himself.

Fubuki also saw this and sneered, "So what if [D. Hero Blood Demon-D] is sent to the graveyard as a fusion material? The attack power increase effect of [Severed Darkness] does not last only until the damage calculation step is over, but lasts for the entire turn."

"And, defense position? I forgot to tell you, because [D. Hero Blood Demon-D] has left the field, his ability to negate the effect has been lifted, and the [Black Dragon Paladin] on my field has the effect of attacking a monster in defense position at the beginning of the damage step, destroying it directly!"

"That is to say, even if [Severed Darkness] doesn't increase the attack power of [Black Dragon Paladin], your [Dragon Knight·D-END] won't be able to defeat him in one round!"

"Keep attacking and crush the enemy, [Black Dragon Paladin]!"

[Black Dragon Paladin] followed Fubuki's order and continued to act. However, when [Black Dragon Paladin] came to the field of Aid again and approached [Dragon Knight·D-END], the sword he swung was accurately blocked by [Dragon Knight·D-END]'s raised dragon head shield!

"Um!?"

"It may sound harsh, but I am using this effect to linger a bit shamefully, but it can also be seen as a sign of D-hero's resilience that he won't be easily defeated." Ed picked up the D-Fusion that he hadn't sent to the graveyard yet and said, "D-Fusion is not only a trap card, but it also limits you to using D-hero's monsters on the field as fusion materials. How could it not have some slightly special abilities?"

"The [Dragon Knight·D-END] Fusion Summoned by [D-Fusion] cannot be destroyed by any effect during this turn, which means that [Dragon Knight·D-END] is invincible at this moment! Even if this turn ends and it is my turn, [Dragon Knight·D-END] itself has the ability to not be destroyed by any magic, trap, or monster effect of the opponent!"

"Even if you use some means to send it away from my field, as long as this card exists in the Graveyard during my turn, I can banish one [D·hero] in my Graveyard to revive it infinitely!"

"As you can see, he is the destiny itself that cannot be disobeyed and is destined to come!"

  This is the trump card hidden by Ed, [Dragon Knight·D-END]!

However, Fubuki sneered and said, "A fate that cannot be defied? Well, I should have said it before. You who are using the 'Hero of Destiny' [D·Hero], be prepared to face the fate of being defeated and crushed by me."

"Before you shout, you should take a closer look at the status of the monsters on your field."

Hearing this, Ed also looked over at his own [Dragon Knight·D-END], but found that for some reason, [Dragon Knight·D-END] was forced to stand up in the struggle with [Black Dragon Paladin] and changed from defense position to attack position? !

Suddenly, Ed noticed that a cable had been inserted into [Dragon Knight·D-END]'s body and forcibly connected to it. The cable extended all the way to Fubuki's backcourt and was connected to a game controller.

"When the attack roll was triggered and I asked [Black Dragon Paladin] to continue attacking, I activated this card in my hand. Quick-attack Spell Card [Enemy Manipulator]!"

Fubuki pointed at the [D-Power] on the back field of Ed, "The effect of that card, I can't target the monster on your field, because it requires [D·Hero Blood Demon-D] to be on the field. Because of your own choice, your monster has lost this resistance! In that case, I can naturally use [Enemy Manipulator] to select your [Dragon Knight·D-END] as a target!"

"I'm going to use the first effect of [Enemy Manipulator]! It targets a face-up monster on the opponent's field and changes the position of the target monster. In other words, [Dragon Knight·D-END] in Defense Position has already changed to Attack Position the moment it fights [Black Dragon Paladin]!"

[Dragon Knight·D-END] [DEF3000→ATK3000]

Ed gritted his teeth and said, "In addition to the effect, the battle also cannot destroy the [Dragon Knight·D-END] Fusion Summoned by [D-Fusion] this turn!"

Fubuki waved her hand and said, "Even if it cannot be destroyed, the battle damage will still exist. Just take the difference of 800 attack points - but because of the effect of [Devil's Eyes that Sing to Death], the damage you will receive is not 800 points but 1600 points!"

"Not only that, with the same effect of [Devil's Eyes that Sing to Death], both attacks of my [Black Dragon Paladin] will fall on your [Dragon Knight·D-END]!"

Following Fubuki's command, [Dragon Knight·D-END] was instantly chopped away and fell to the ground. A large amount of rubble and the accompanying strong wind attacked Ed, instantly deducting a large amount of his basic points!

"Uh-huh!"

[Ed Phoenix: 4000 → 2400 → 800 LP, 1 card in hand]

  Ed, who was far ahead of Fubuki in basic points just now, had his basic points reduced to only three digits faster than Fubuki!

Looking at the only card left in her hand, Fubuki sighed with regret, "What a pity, I don't have a card like [Fire Dragon's Flame Bullet] or [Hermit's Poison] that can directly cause 800 points of effect damage. Otherwise, I can still clear your basic points and defeat you in my main phase . Unfortunately, this is not the case."

"My battle phase ends, and I release the [Black Dragon Paladin] on my field to activate its second effect." Without hesitation, she sent the [Black Dragon Paladin] on her field to the graveyard and took out a card from her deck, "Special Summon a [Red-Eyes] monster from my hand and deck!"

“I will summon the most ferocious, evil, strongest and most powerful dragon monster dormant in my deck. The surging dark power will turn into icy armor. When the soul and the body dissipate at the end of time, the soul of the demon king who rules the dragon clan will curse the world and reign!”

Fubuki held high the monster card in his hand, his windbreaker swaying in the scorching wind that came from nowhere, and wisps of black gas rose from his body - especially from the position of the mask where the most was coming out - and poured into the card!

  As time goes by, the power of Darkness is finally eroding him little by little, but he can still hold on!

"In the cold, desperate, dark abyss, the supreme black dragon will evolve to its final form. Come, my trump card!"

"【Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon】!"

  Also because [D·hero Bloodthirster-D] left Ed's field, Fubuki finally lifted the restriction that the effects of monsters on the field would be invalidated, and without hesitation chose to Special Summon the strongest monster from her deck - [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] that had arrived at this moment!

[Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] [10☆/Dark]

【Dragon/Effect】

[2800/2400]

"During my Main Phase 2, I activate the effect of Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon and Special Summon one Dragon-Type monster from my hand or Graveyard other than Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon. The one I choose is naturally this Red-Eyes Black Dragon in my Graveyard!"

After retrieving the Red-Eyes Black Dragon that was released for the Ritual Summon of the Black Dragon Paladin, Fubuki revealed the last card in her hand at this moment, "Then, I can activate this card by sending a face-up monster on my field other than an effect monster to the Graveyard, [Price of Horse Bone]!"

——Since the deck has a card like [Severed Darkness] that specifically supports Normal monsters, Fubuki naturally put a lot of related cards into the deck as well, including [The Price of Horse Bones] of this low-profile version of "Pot of Greed".

"Send the normal monster [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] to the graveyard, and I draw two cards from the deck." Having just used the poor version of [Pot of Greed] to draw two cards, Fubuki was stunned for a moment when she saw the cards she drew, and then played one of them and said, "Heh, it seems that fate is not on your side but on my side. The proof is this card - I activate [Pot of Greed] and draw two more cards from the deck."

After replenishing her hand back to three cards, Fubuki looked at the card she had drawn and frowned, "Tsk, I drew this card while [Magic Eyes that Sing Death] is in effect. That's a bit unlucky."

"This [Red-Eyes Black Heavy Steel Dragon] could have retrieved a [Metalize] Trap Card from my deck and Set it by showing itself, but due to the restrictions of [Magic Eyes that Sing to Death], I cannot activate monster effects from my hand in this Duel. However, there are no unusable cards in the world, and even this card that cannot activate its effects can be recycled."

Under the gaze of Ed, Fubuki actually took out the [Magic Eyes that Ode to Death] from the graveyard: "The second effect of [Magic Eyes that Ode to Death], banish this card from my graveyard to activate, add a [Magic Eyes] card from my deck to my hand, then select a card from my hand and return it to the bottom of the deck."

"I added another [Magic Eyes] card from my deck - [Magic Eyes that Tear Time] to my hand, and then the card that returned to the bottom of the deck was naturally this [Red-Eyes Black Heavy Steel Dragon]."

"Next, I activate the magic card [Magic Eyes that Tear Time]!"

A purple gem, different from the color of [Magic Eyes that Ode to Death], is suspended in Fubuki's backfield. Before this card, Fubuki's eyes were able to remain the same red as [Magic Eyes that Ode to Death] with the help of [Red-Eyes], but after [Magic Eyes that Tear Time] was activated, Fubuki's eyes could not help but light up with purple light.

——That was one of the characteristics of Fubuki during the "Darkness" period.

"Hmm." Shaking her head a little uncomfortably, Fubuki looked up at Ed and continued, "[Magic Eyes that Tears Time] is similar to [Magic Eyes that Ode to Death], both of which have the restriction that prevents me from activating the effects of monsters from my hand in this duel. However, in addition to this common negative effect, [Magic Eyes that Tears Time] also grants me the ability to double the drawn card during the draw phase, and to perform a maximum of two Normal Summonings in one turn!"

"My first Normal Summon was [Black Dragon Hatchling], so now the monster I want to Normal Summon in Defense Position is this one - [Iron Fantasy]!"

An integrated magician monster that is very similar to the [Mimic Fantasy] appeared on Fubuki's field, but compared to the former, the [Steel Fantasy] is dressed much more angularly. If you look closely, you can even find that what he is wearing is not a wizard robe but iron sheets made of steel. However, the most eye-catching thing is not his hat or the red single eye on his palm, but the mirror in his hand.

In that cold steel mirror, there was a reflection of a classic trap card - [Metallization - Magic Reflective Armor].

【Iron Fantasy】【4☆/Light】

[Magician Family/Effect]

[0/0]

"I can only activate this effect when Steel Fantasy is Summoned or Special Summoned. I place a Metallized Trap Card from my deck on my field. The card I choose is this one, Metallized Reflective Armor." Fubukigai put down a card and said, "Then I activate another effect of Steel Fantasy, declaring a monster of the declared race until the end of the opponent's turn. The race I declare is Dragon."

"Then, I place the last card in my hand, ending my turn."

[Tenjoin Fubuki: 1250LP, 0 cards in hand]

[Iron Fantasy] [Magician/Effect→Dragon/Effect] [DEF0]

[Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] [DEF2400]

[Severed Darkness] [Gai Ka (Metallized and Enhanced Reflective Armor)] [Gai Ka]

Seeing that Fubuki had finally ended her turn, Ed couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, your turn is finally over—assuming you have a high-attack monster on your side of the field! In that case, the outcome of the duel has already been decided, and the answer has been revealed before my turn arrives!"

"Then it's my turn, draw a card!" (End of this chapter)
