Fubuki looked at Manjome in confusion, "Or else, didn't we just see it?"
No...
He suddenly felt a chill down his spine, finally realizing the core issue.
He finally understood how he and Asuka lost back then!
Time reversal?
Damn, if we can't solve this problem, there's no way to defeat Fujiwara!
"Predaplanning, if you let that card's effect activate, it might be very hard to defeat you, but— I activate the effect of the card in my hand."
"Again?" Tierra said with some exasperation.
A duel is supposed to be fought with the cards on the field, why always use the cards in hand?
"D.D. Crow. During either player's turn, discard this card from your hand to the Graveyard and target 1 card in your opponent's Graveyard. Banish that target.
I will banish your Predaplanning in the Graveyard!"
A crow flew from Fujiwara Yusuke's hand, fluttering past Tenjo Hikari's side, took a bite from the Graveyard, and sneakily disappeared with a Trap Card.
"Damn, there's no way to use the effect of the Dark Attribute fusion to destroy cards on the field," Fubuki's expression changed slightly.
"No, it's alright—" Manjome analyzed from the side, "Although we can't destroy the monsters, the LV 2 Predaplant Chlamydosundew and the LV 7 Clear Vicious Knight can be used, as they both are LV 7, to banish a monster on the field with a lower level, and thus they can eliminate the Clear Vicious Knight."
"But..." Amon retorted, "Without the ability to destroy a card, the effect of Clear World would prevent Tenjo-san from conducting a battle phase, it forces discarding cards, losing life, and destroys monsters, over time this will also put you at a disadvantage."
So if you can defeat the enemy, it's best to finish quickly.
Dragging it out will only lead to a disadvantageous situation.
Fujiwara Yusuke could hear their discussion, listening to these people talk, he chuckled.
Indeed, the Clear Vicious Knight is LV 7 and could be banished by Predaplant Chimerafflesia's effect, but he has set a Trap Card—Safe Zone!
As long as Safe Zone is equipped to Clear Vicious Knight, it cannot be targeted by opponent's effects, cannot be destroyed in battle, or by opponent's effects!
With this effect, plus the Clear Vicious Knight's infinitely increasing attack power, and Tenjo Hikari cannot attack, his advantage is completely established!
"Normal Summon Predaplant Chlamydosundew, activate its effect to fuse itself with the Fang Fish Buddha Lotus on the field."
"Then, I chain your effect activation, Safe Zone! Targeting Clear Vicious Knight, as long as Safe Zone is on the field, Clear Vicious Knight cannot be selected as an effect target, and cannot be destroyed by battle, nor by the opponent's effects."
"Damn."
Several spectators exclaimed in unison.
If Clear Vicious Knight cannot be banished, then Tenjo Hikari cannot use magic cards and will have to endure many negative side effects from Clear World!
"I Fusion Summon, Predaplant Chimerafflesia."
Tenjo Hikari didn't care, casually fusing into Chimerafflesia as usual.
A gigantic flower bloomed from the ground, guarding behind Tenjo Hikari.
Predaplant Chimerafflesia, LV 7, Dark Attribute, Plant-Type, Attack Power 2500.
"Oh, it's this flower again, but now, it can't bring you victory," Fujiwara Yusuke remarked.
"Is that so?"
?
"Activating the effect of Fang Fish Buddha Lotus sent to the Graveyard!"
What—this one has an effect too!?
"When Fang Fish Buddha Lotus is sent from the field to the Graveyard, activate it. Place a Predap Counter on all face-up monsters on the opponent's field."
"Ah..." A few spectators were startled, then smiled understandingly.
"Predap Counters…!!!" Fujiwara Yusuke's face twisted under the mask.
"That's right, with the effect of Predap Counters, any monster of LV 2 or higher drops to LV 1."
Clear Vicious Knight, Predap Counter: 1
Clear Vicious Knight, LV 7→1.
"Beautiful, now the Magic Cards can be used again!"
"That Buddha Lotus was also chosen with supportive effects in mind!"
The three spectators cheered excitedly, while those few emotionless Mr. T's started showing troubled expressions.
"Why, how can there be so many transformations..." Fujiwara Yusuke felt like he was about to explode with frustration.
Even though he had used elements beyond those he normally employed, he still couldn't defeat Tenjo Hikari, still being tightly limited by Tenjo Hikari's "Predaplants."
No, calm down.
I haven't lost yet.
Even if magic cards can be used, it's nothing to be concerned about.
The monster on Tenjo Hikari's field is "Dark Attribute," which cannot be changed, Clear World will always prevent Tenjo Hikari from attacking.
"Activating Spell Card, Fusion Substitute! Fusing the Sundew King Sundew and Predaplant Chimerafflesia on the field!"
"The Fusion Condition is two Dark Attribute Monsters on the field!"
This is—
"Pursue the wings of fusion, now, unleash everything, and embrace all [Fusion]!"
The two Dark Attribute Monsters transformed into purple streaks, ascending into the blue flames in the sky, then transforming into purple.
"Fusion Summon, my wings!"
"LV 8—"
"Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"
The mysterious and beautiful giant dragon shimmered with its purple wings, appearing slowly and gracefully behind Tenjo Hikari, then its light wings burst forth with boundless purple, bathing the entire serene world in purple light.
