Tenjo Hikari chuckled lightly and spread his hands: "The Invoked 'Fire' has stronger aggression compared to the Invoked 'Water,' but unlike Cocytus, the Invoked 'Fire' does not have the abilities of being immune to effect destruction and not being targeted as effect objectives. Therefore... it will be returned to the Extra Deck by this effect."
The Water Dragon gently pouted, the flames on its body gradually dissipating, transforming from an Archfiend back into its previous form, returning to a dragon shape.
However, although its attack was negated, it seemed to be in a good mood.
It seemed pleased because it heard it had points more powerful than the Fire Summoner.
"Not bad, you're right. The flaws of the Fire Summoner are indeed too great." It nodded as though it understood.
Tenjo Hikari couldn't help but shake his head.
His nearby Tierra was more direct.
"The outcome boils down to the fact that the Magicians are always bragging about their leader, so this Summoner just didn't like it."
But regardless.
There's nothing else the Water Summoner can do anymore because it was tricked by Tenjo Hikari into using the Aleister in hand, so now it can't even seize the opportunity to search for Invocation and then change to Earth Summoner, and can only watch its turn pass by before waiting for Tenjo Hikari to punch it twice in the next turn.
Invoked 'Water,' Cocytus, LP: 4000→1000→0.
"Wow! That's awesome, that's awesome meow!" The Quintet Magician excitedly waved its Magic Staff, causing the nearby Magicians to dodge frantically.
Even though they didn't use magic, everyone knows that with magicians of this level, even a punch feels no different from being blasted by a Magic Cannon.
"Look, isn't Hikari super strong! Isn't he super cool!"
The Magicians present could understand the feelings of the Quintet Magician.
Seeing their human disciple so effortlessly defeat a powerful Summoner and articulate the frustrations of the summoned creature and the flaws of those lower-level Magicians around, such talent far exceeds ordinary human Warriors.
Moreover, this pure use of Polymerization, trusting in Polymerization, willing to understand and fuse with opponents, such talent is not something ordinary people have, to be honest, even the high-level Magicians present were envious.
Why don't they have disciples of such caliber?
"Although the Water Summoner's duel was nowhere near yours back then," Aleister evaluated earnestly after the duel ended, "however, the strength of the summoned creature is unquestionable, winning in just two turns, your disciple's persistence and understanding of fusion are now more profound and powerful than a year ago. Hence, he has definitely not wasted this year, which is very gratifying.
Not only through the duel, did he immediately detect the opponent's inner frustration, but he also did not lose his expertise in psychological and intelligence warfare, tricking the opponent into ditching their Summoner by abandoning his own Summoner to make the Water Summoner miss the chance for sustain.
Indeed, a genius among geniuses, the most fusion-centric Fusion Duelist.
It seems he has indeed been learning your Alchemy well."
Aleister lowered his head, gently holding his mouth with his hand, contemplating in astonishment: "At this pace, it won't be long before he surpasses even me. Daitokuji, you're truly fortunate."
"What do you mean by 'fortunate' meow! This is achieved through my keen vision and meticulous care!" The Quintet Magician imitated a cat, yelling at the sky, "Crowley, are you jealous of me!"
Ah Lai didn't mind these details.
It had long been accustomed to Daitokuji's bantering and pretense, no matter how Daitokuji plays dumb he wouldn't fall for it.
He just continued calculating and contemplating in his mind.
Honestly, even he was somewhat eager to watch Tenjo Hikari's duel up close again.
He was somewhat looking forward to Tenjo Hikari's arrival.
