[Elemental Hero Great Tornado, Attack Power 2800]
"Great Tornado's fusion summon is successful! All monsters on the opponent's field have their attack power halved!"
[Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger, Attack Power 1600 → Attack Power 800]
[Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth, Attack Power 1700 → Attack Power 850]
John frowned, "But even with halved attack power, your battle phase has already ended."
"I know." Judai smiled, "But I haven't performed a normal summon this turn yet."
John: "..."
He was getting more and more puzzled.
Clearly, there's no way to battle, so what's the point in summoning more monsters?
"The effect of 'Elemental Hero Necroshade' I just sent to the graveyard as fusion material! Once, the summon of a high-level Elemental Hero does not require a tribute.
I perform a normal summon of 'Elemental Hero Edgeman' from my hand!"
[Elemental Hero Edgeman, Attack Power 2600]
Judai took a deep breath.
Alright, preparations are complete.
I'll show you an incredibly fun strategy taught by Teacher Youyu!
"Set two cards, turn ends." Judai said.
John looked at him perplexedly.
End... ended?
Just like that?
"...Then it's my turn, draw card."
John drew a card, but before he could enter the main phase for operations, Judai abruptly interrupted.
"At the moment of preparation phase, flip cover card! Trap Card 'Give and Take'!"
John: "!"
Again with this card!?
He frowned, "Are you going to send 'Ra's Disciple' again...?"
"No." Judai smiled, "This time, I'll special summon the 'Storm Caller' that I just sent to the graveyard as fusion material for 'Great Tornado' on your field!"
[Storm Caller, Attack Power 2300]
John: "???"
What in the world this time?
He was getting more puzzled. This time Judai sent over an upper-tier monster with attack power 2300, higher than all the Crystal Beasts in John's card deck...
"It's here, it's here, it's here!"
Judai was full of excitement.
Of course, the joy of a successful trick, ordinary duelists cannot understand.
"Activate set card! Trap Card 'Edge Hammer'! Use 'Elemental Hero Edgeman' on my field as a tribute to destroy a monster on the opponent's field."
Judai pointed at John's field, "I'll destroy your 'Storm Caller'!!!"
"Ha!?" John was shocked.
You give me your monster and then immediately blow it up?
"The follow-up effect of 'Edge Hammer', inflict damage to the opponent player equal to the original attack power of the destroyed monster—which is 2300 points."
Judai showed a sunny, happy smile.
"Then there's the self-effect of 'Storm Caller', when it's destroyed, its controller must take damage equal to its attack power.
In other words, another 2300 points!"
John was dumbfounded for a moment.
"The controller of 'Storm Caller' refers to..."
He suddenly realized.
"Ah! Does it mean me!?"
He looked at the Summoner who was forcibly sent to him and was dumbfounded.
"Nani!!!??"
Everyone on the scene almost jumped in shock.
Two consecutive damage calculations of 2300 points mean...
...this hammer directly results in 4600 damage!?>
Wow, how can there be such a maneuver!?
Give the opponent a big gift and then blow it up yourself, achieving an OTK in one turn?
"Go, Edgeman!" Judai laughed cheerfully, "Edge Hammer!"
Edgeman leaped forward, fearlessly raising the massive golden hammer that fell with endless golden brilliance...
Boom!!!
