"Truly terrifying, although it's banished due to its effect activation, it can still be used for Polymerization, choosing materials from the banished Monsters for fusion—" Darkness stared at Tenjo Hikari, unable to help but sigh, "Your fusion is indeed endlessly versatile."
Yubel, standing nearby, was in full agreement with this sentiment.
If she were banished, she wouldn't be able to recycle through the Phantom of Yubel, yet Tenjo Hikari can seamlessly perform banishing fusions, truly living up to the name "Absolute Fusion Master."
Tenjo Hikari seemed slightly helpless.
Fortunately, with this Primite Fusion, otherwise it would have been difficult to manage.
Tenjo Hikari naturally knew about the Primite series, but before seeing this card, he never imagined that the "Drillbeam" deck was part of the Fusion System.
Regrettably, he only had the Primite Fusion that was brought forth by the growth of his own "fusion" power through Super Polymerization, and he couldn't even dream of getting a card like Drillbeam. Other Primite Monsters were nowhere to be found, and as for the possibly existing "Primite" Fusion Monster, Tenjo Hikari had never seen it.
But regardless, having this type of fusion that can recycle banished Monsters somewhat compensates—it's the same banishing fusion, yet Parallel World Fusion self-restricts all round!
"Battle, attack Amano-Iwato with the First Dragon!"
As Tenjo Hikari shouted, his hands were still moving, cautiously holding a card.
If there were any traps in the Battle Phase, he could also use the card in his hand to deal with it.
But—
It seemed like Darkness's shadow clone made no moves.
The First Dragon smashed through the closed giant rock, knocking out the sun inside, slightly illuminating this world.
Darkness, LP: 6000→5200.
"Yes! Inflicted battle damage!"
"Although restricted, if we whittle away step by step, it should be doable!"
The classmates cheered Tenjo Hikari on.
At this moment, Darkness's shadow clone glanced at the card in his hand, "tsk"ed softly, seemingly a bit dismissive, but ultimately activated it: "Activating the Monster Effect in my hand."
More!?
"Can only be activated when receiving battle damage. Special Summon this card from the hand card.
Special Summon, Tragoedia."
A pitch-black, beetle-like Archfiend slowly emerged from the darkness, its body entirely composed of black liquid, dripping to the ground, resembling not an Archfiend but rather a dying lobster.
Tragoedia, LV 10, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, DEF?
"Tragoedia's ATK and DEF increase by 600 points times the number of hand cards. I have no hand cards, so its DEF is 0 now."
"Phew—" A few classmates could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Zero ATK and DEF, and it doesn't seem to have any sealing effect either.
"Even if it did, it wouldn't matter, the First Dragon is unaffected by other Monster Effects and can't be destroyed by battles with anything other than a Normal Monster, so even if it has an effect, it doesn't affect the First Dragon." Serena pumped her fist excitedly.
Tenjo Hikari glanced at the El Shaddoll Fusion in his hand card.
Should he Special Summon a Midrash?
Or set it down and Special Summon during the opponent's turn to stop them?
After hesitating for a moment, Tenjo Hikari didn't activate it.
Although Tragoedia can control the opponent's Monsters by discarding a Monster of the same level, the First Dragon is unaffected by other Monster Effects. If he were to Special Summon Midrash now, he could indeed destroy Tragoedia, but if it were to be hit by some effect next turn, it would be troublesome.
Subsequently, Tenjo Hikari looked at other cards, pondering if there were any other fancy restrictions that might continue to hinder Judai, and then set down a fusion together: "Cover two cards, end turn."
"Alas, in the end can we only destroy Amano-Iwato?"
"No choice, the first Fusion Tenjo activated is sealed, with Amano-Iwato still on the field, and also that Mystic Mine… If Judai hadn't set down a Metaverse, Tenjo might not be able to do anything right now."
"However…" Someone wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't continue.
The crowd remained silent, not mentioning that "however."
Countdown to the End: 4.
"My turn, draw." Darkness drew 1 card from his Deck, glanced at it slightly, and said, "4 turns, and the damage you've dealt to me is… 800. If you wish to defeat me at this rate, it would take dozens of turns, it seems you are destined not to defeat me."
"But—long nights bring dreams, I won't underestimate anyone. What's more, if that dragon unaffected by other Monster Effects remains on the field, it might not be advantageous for me either."
He played a card: "Activate Spell Card, Pot of Greed."
"And then… Spell Card, Pot of Desires."
"Huh?"
"This card can only be activated once per turn, banish the top 10 cards from your deck face-down to activate. Draw 2 cards from the deck."
Hearing this effect, everyone looked at each other.
Banish 10 cards to draw 2? Then why not just use Pot of Greed?
But some quickly understood his intent.
"After all, the number of cards in the Deck is infinite, so spending them however doesn't matter? This guy obviously doesn't care whether his Ace Monster will be banished or not, so the more pots the better, it seems quite normal."
But Tenjo Hikari, upon hearing this, felt something seemed off.
After drawing his cards, Darkness glanced at the ones he drew, the skeletal wings behind him slightly trembling.
"It's time to make more of your 'unique features' disappear—activate Spell Card, Time-Tearing Morganite."
A purple Gemstone appeared in front of Darkness, and then slowly dissipated.
