"I'm going first!" Shinji roared, "Draw."
The two sped off the track, rushing onto an enormous road of flame floating in the air, not yielding an inch to each other.
"Did those two just fly into the sky?" Ushio watched the scene in shock.
Tenjo Hikari and Yusei hurried along while activating the D-wheel's broadcast function, starting to watch the duel.
Honestly, the situation had developed beyond Tenjo Hikari's expectations; he never imagined Crow would also become a Dark Signer, and judging by the situation, one of the "Ultimate Earthbound Immortal" Dark Signers.
He had to quickly figure out what exactly had happened, and the causes and consequences.
Meanwhile, the duel had officially begun.
"I activate the effect of Battlewasp - Rapier the Onslaught in my hand, discard another Insect-Type Monster in my hand to activate. From the deck, place one face-up [Battlewasp Gale] on my field. Then, this card is Special Summoned from the hand!
This turn, I can't Special Summon Monsters from the Extra Deck unless they are Insect-Type!"
"Come on, Rapier!"
A dark-colored wasp carrying a Continuous Spell Card appeared sharply on the field.
"The effect of Continuous Spell Card Battlewasp Gale! Up to twice per turn, if a [Battlewasp] Monster is Summoned·Special Summoned on my field, activate by targeting that Monster, add one Battlewasp from the deck to the hand with ATK lower than that Monster!
Rapier's ATK is 1900, I'll add the Attack Power 1800 Battlewasp - Sting the Poison to my hand!"
"It's not over yet! I summon Sting the Poison added to my hand, and activate its effect to revive the Tuner Monster, Battlewasp - Pin the Bullseye discarded from my hand!
At this moment, the effect of Battlewasp Gale activates, I add Battlewasp - Sting the Poison to my hand from the deck!"
A series of operations, from one card, turned into a field full of Monsters, countless wasp soldiers buzzed menacingly, glaring at the opponent.
They were like a suicide squad, vowing to achieve victory for their leader.
"Managing to Special Summon so many Monsters in an instant?!" The security officers were shocked.
"How strong, was this guy always this strong?!" Ushio said in surprise.
"The effect of Battlewasp - Pin the Bullseye, activate during the Main Phase, inflict damage to the opponent equal to the number of [Battlewasp - Pin the Bullseye] on the field X 200!"
Pin the Bullseye was a small wasp, it aimed at Crow, fiercely threw its sting, and stinged him once.
Crow glanced casually, completely disregarded.
Crow, LP: 4000→3800.
"Activate the second effect of Battlewasp Gale, once per turn, select one Insect-Type Monster on your field, that Monster can be used as Tuner this turn. I choose Pin the Bullseye.
Perform Tuning with LV 1 Pin the Bullseye and LV 5 Rapier!"
"Wrap explosive gusts with membranous wings, use stingers to blaze the path of truth!"
"Synchro Summon!"
"LV 6, Battlewasp - Sachi the Ceremonial Bow!"
Sachi the Ceremonial Bow, dressed in a short skirt, bow and arrow in hand, appeared spiritedly.
Battlewasp - Sachi the Ceremonial Bow, LV 6, Wind Attribute, Insect-Type, ATK 2400.
"Sachi the Ceremonial Bow's effect upon Synchro Summon. This card is treated as a Tuner!"
"Then, immediately activate its second effect, once per turn, return one Continuous Spell Card on your field to hand to activate. This turn, you can Special Summon one [Battlewasp] Monster once during your Main Phase outside of Regular Summon!
I return Battlewasp Gale to my hand—then activate it again!"
Shinji was clearly serious, even using the decisive move he prepared against the upper-echelon Duelists who looked down on him, "Activate Continuous Spell Card, Battlewasp Gale!"
"What?" Ushio was startled.
"Such a powerful card—" Serena said solemnly, watching the broadcast from the passenger seat of the police car, "Now he can search for two more Battlewasps—"
"Normal Summon, Tuner Monster, Battlewasp - Sting the Poison! Activate its effect to add Battlewasp - Sting the Poison to the hand from the deck, then, as Battlewasp Gale is reactivated, it can activate its effect again, I'll add Pin the Bullseye with ATK less than 400 to my hand!
Finally—perform Tuning with LV 2 Sting the Poison and LV 4 Sting the Poison on the field!"
"Synchro Summon—"
"LV 6, Battlewasp - Halberd the Charge!"
A dark, stout wasp warrior swung its massive halberd, crashing onto the flame corridor with a thud, appearing on the field.
Battlewasp - Halberd the Charge, LV 6, Wind Attribute, Insect-Type, ATK 2500.
"The effect of Battlewasp Gale, add the Attack Power 1900 Rapier to the hand!"
"What—" All the police were dumbfounded.
Isn't this the Monster from the start?
After this whole cycle, won't he be able to pull off a combo like now next turn?
More terrifying is that next turn, under Rapier's effect, Shinji could very likely achieve two Battlewasp Gales on the field!
"Set one card, end turn!"
Shinji coldly set the card, glancing sideways at Crow: "Crow, show me how you're going to duel!"
"I'll show you, Shinji—"
"Draw!"
Serena watched the scene with some concern.
Though she didn't understand Synchro very much, she could tell that Shinji's cards were simple, direct, and high-quality, constantly charging forward one by one, having both sustain and offense, considering Crow's previous duels...
