Rainbow Dragon!
The "Holy Dragon" hidden within ancient ruins, possessing attack power comparable to a God!
"Attack Power 4000!"
"Surpassing Prismaura and even comparable to Obelisk the Giant Soldiers!"
"Wow—I feel like holy light is descending from the heavens!"
"And... it doesn't require a sacrifice, you can Special Summon it as long as there are 7 Crystal Beasts either on the field or in the Graveyard! So convenient."
At first glance, it seems very convenient.
In reality, it's still quite troublesome, and... it's not that powerful.
"Rainbow Dragon can send all face-up Crystal Beasts on its field to the Graveyard, then gain attack power equal to the number of sent Crystal Beasts multiplied by 1000," Tenjo Hikari gazed at the massive dragon and recited one of its effects out loud.
"Huh?"
"That powerful?"
"Atorius has 5 Crystal Beasts on the field—"
"Wouldn't that mean 9000 Attack Power!?"
Nine thousand attack power!
Ordinarily, defeating it with battle defeat is somewhat unrealistic.
"Not only that—" John laughed and continued, "Rainbow Dragon can also banish all Crystal Beast Monsters in my Graveyard, returning all cards on the field to the owners' decks."
If this effect were to be activated, its clearing ability would indeed be formidable.
"However..." John regretfully shook his head, "The turn Rainbow Dragon is Special Summoned, its effects can't be activated."
"Huh?"
"What... such a shame."
Someone lamented.
If this effect could be activated now, Tenjo Hikari would directly lose the duel!
"But, my attack power is still higher—Rainbow Dragon, attack Prismaura! Go, Rainbow Dragon, prove whose gemstones shine brighter!"
"Counterattack, Captain!"
Crystal nodded, leapt toward the massive dragon, wielding the greatsword in a fierce fight.
Crash and clash, close combat, dragon breath and roar, countless strange gemstones shone with color during the battle, and eventually, Rainbow Dragon seized the opportunity to spew a rainbow stream, landing a decisive hit on the knight's chest.
Bang—
Tenjo Hikari, LP: 4000→3300.
"Then, Tenma attacks Lapis."
Tenma jumped up, charged next to Lapis, flapping wings and knocked her over.
Thus, Tenjo Hikari's field has only Gem-Knight Prismaura left.
"That's bad, Noble Knight! Next turn, if Lancelot recovers Gem-Knight Fusion, Prismaura can activate its effect and destroy your Rainbow Dragon!"
"Ah, I should have attacked Prismaura—"
"Fool, how could you possibly attack Prismaura, Prismaura can replicate Prismaura's effect, then it can still destroy Rainbow Dragon!"
Indeed—
High attack power is high attack power!
Precisely because Rainbow Dragon has high attack power, even if its effects can't be activated, it can defeat Gem-Knight Master with "infinite abilities," but likewise, precisely because Prismaura's attack power is higher than Crystal Beasts, even if Prismaura is defeated, Prismaura can still activate its effect next turn, avenging its superior form.
"Not necessarily!"
John laughed heartily: "I set a card, end my turn."
"Seems like that card gave you confidence? By rights, the card you set last turn should have been swapped out for something else, right?"
Tenjo Hikari asked.
"Of course, this is the valor of a knight, the exchanged card."
John clenched his fist: "I believe in my guards, my family, they are the best gemstones, there's no way they'd lose to your Gem-Knights!"
"Is that so..."
Tenjo Hikari raised his eyebrows: "Then, my turn, draw—Noble Knight, let's decide the victor this turn!"
"At this moment!" John revealed the set card, "Trap Card, Crystal Prayer!"
"Send a card in your Spell and Trap Zone with 'Crystal Beast' in its name to the Graveyard to activate. Destroy 1 card on your opponent's field!" He lifted a Turtle and said, "Well done, Emerald."
"No problem! I also want to prove who can truly represent gemstones!" Turtle responded to John.
"Ha—destroying Lancelot, the one I'm destroying is your Continuous Spell Card Scatter Fusion!"
Green emerald appeared on Tenjo Hikari's field, ferociously attacking the transparent diamond on Tenjo Hikari's field.
Click... Crack.
Bang!
With the diamond's disappearance, Prismaura's image also began to fade away.
"Nice!" In the stands, Judai suddenly praised.
Manjome nodded repeatedly: "Indeed! Rather than destroying Prismaura, Scatter Fusion is more important!"
He continued: "For Tenjo... Lancelot, monsters are actually secondary, as long as Fusion is around, everything else is uncertain.
That guy trusts Fusion more than gemstones. So even if Prismaura is destroyed, he can use Scatter Fusion to fuse other Fusion Monsters, and when that happens, the danger is for Atorius."
Scatter Fusion can activate its effect once per turn!
Tenjo Hikari glanced at the card he drew.
Then he looked at the projection beside him, so he smiled and said: "Impressive, Noble Knight."
The growth suddenly halted.
"In terms of gemstones, it seems, you have a better grasp."
On the projection, support for the Fallen Knight began to decrease rather than increase.
This is quite normal because saying that sounds like conceding.
"Haha, that's what I'm saying!" Amethyst Cat appeared beside John, looked up and said, "Our John is the best Gem Duelist!"
"Amethyst—" John was a bit embarrassed, but he was quite happy to receive such praise from Tenjo Hikari.
