At the end of both players' turns, you can change a monster to face-down position.
Combined with the Vampire Dragon's effect, "When this card is flipped face-up, select 1 card on the field and send it to the graveyard," it's very useful.
Ha, you actually have some ideas.
"Shaddoll Beast's effect, when this card is sent to the graveyard, draw one card from the Deck." With a swish, Tenjo Hikari drew another card from the Deck, glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and slightly curled his lips, then continued to watch the field.
"Battle, Nephilim attack Vampire Dragon!"
An angel attacks a blood demon; it's quite orthodox.
Although the Vampire Dragon can use its effect to return to the field, Tenjo Hikari's idea was simple, to first deplete the Vampire Dragon's Xyz Materials.
"Tsk! No, you wish! I activate the effect of Vampire Dragon, once per turn, detach one Xyz Material, select 1 monster on the opponent's field that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, that monster becomes face-down position."
He pointed to El Shaddoll Construct: "Cover it, Angel!"
The radiant angel, under the control of the blood, continuously bowed down, and soon, a large card pressed it down, leaving only a glowing bundle of puppet strings proving its existence.
Vampire Dragon Xyz Materials: 2→1.
"What do you think, Tenjo Hikari? This is the new power I've learned through Fusion, an Xyz Monster composed of Fusion Monsters! It will never be inferior to yours!"
"Heh—"
Tenjo Hikari gently shook his head.
"What are you laughing at?" Burns' expression was very unpleasant.
"The more eager you are to prove something, the more it shows you lack something." Tenjo Hikari clasped his hands, slowly shaking his head, "What about unifying all of humanity and bringing the world together, something Akaba Leo can say, do you really believe it?"
Burns' molars clattered from the biting.
He was hit at a sore spot.
No matter how much he tried to deceive himself, he had long realized that what Akaba Leo said and did were never the same.
Although, indeed, this was truly the "program" of the Fusion Army.
But not many in the Fusion Army truly believed it.
After all, no matter how well slogans are chanted, actions are what truly matter.
"And you, no matter how much you say, in the end, you still want to prove your excellence, prove you are not wrong, so you've been comparing with me from the start, back and forth.
In the end, aren't you the guy who failed a sneak attack, got despised, then wanted to find a sense of existence again? Why say so many nice things."
"Tenjo Hikari!!"
He was burning with rage.
Tenjo Hikari shrugged, with a mocking smile on his face: "Fine, since you want to compete with me so much, I'll let you understand better today. Flame Invoked has a piercing effect, but since its ATK is lower than your Vampire Dragon's DEF, it won't attack."
Burns lowered his voice, as if responding to "let you understand better," and said, "The Vampire Dragon in face-up position can leave the field due to an opponent's effect and can be Special Summoned directly in face-down defense position! So, I'm not afraid of being destroyed, but for a better victory, Tenjo Hikari, don't think you're the only one who knows how to win."
He looked at the shivering Fluffals, looked at the viciously staring Frightfurs, and snorted coldly.
Tenjo Hikari didn't mind either, he placed a Set Card in the Duel Disk, ending his turn easily.
"My turn, draw!" Burns gritted his teeth, drew a card, glanced at the card's artwork, and his eyes lit up.
"Tenjo Hikari, your thought is, as long as there's a Fire Attribute Fusion Monster on the field, relying on the Mirage Swordsman in the graveyard, it's impossible for you to be easily defeated, right?
It's not that easy!
Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card—Book of Eclipse!"
"All face-up monsters on the field turn to face-down position!"
The sun shone down, suddenly, the blood moon, the demon, the flame dragon were all illuminated by the sun, forced to lower their heads, then turned into cards, crouching on the field.
"I remember that card, at the end of the turn, will turn all opponent's monsters on the field to face-up position, and let the opponent draw that number of cards, right?" The little bear, with a fair amount of knowledge, asked in confusion upon seeing the card, "Isn't that quite unreasonable?"
Lion Saw could understand its thoughts.
But—the true terror of the Vampire Dragon was revealed here.
"I'll flip the Vampire Dragon on the field."
Vampire Dragon, ATK: 2400.
Monster Flip Summon will change from Defense Position to Attack Position.
But that's not the point.
"When this card is flipped face-up, activate its effect. Select 1 card on the field and send it to the graveyard! I'll choose your Flame Invoked."
Upon hearing this, Tenjo Hikari calmly sent the Flame Invoked to the graveyard.
"The effect of Mirage Swordsman is triggered by battle or effect destruction." Tenjo Hikari still had the energy and spirit to speak to the opponent, "So actually, even if you don't cover my monster, directly sending my monster to the graveyard, I can't Special Summon Mirage."
A hint of anger flashed across Burns' face.
"I know that, you don't need to say it!"
"Ha, he's getting anxious." Tierra was engrossed, no longer caring how the surrounding "Believers" felt, gleefully watching the show by Tenjo Hikari's side.
Burns' face turned red, he clenched his teeth, and thrust a card into the Duel Disk with force: "Activate the Spell Card, Frightfur Patchwork."
Once again adding Polymerization and Chain to his hand.
Then he discarded the Chain again, drawing cards from the Deck with Toy Vendor.
