ABC-Dragon Buster, Summon!
The triple-fusion mechanical beast, a green dragon with iron wings styled like a pterodactyl, stands on a golden chariot with metallic tracks, and carries long black cannons on its shoulders, almost armed to the teeth.
[ABC-Dragon Buster, Attack Power 3000]
"Dragon Buster, activate effect!" shouted Manjome. "Once per turn, discard a card from your hand to banish any card on the field from the game. And this effect can even be activated during the opponent's turn!"
Hearing this, Ed couldn't help but be surprised.
A banishment ability usable during the opponent's turn?
What a powerful monster! It's not in the same league as the Union fusion mechas Manjome used previously!
Manjome discarded a card from his hand to the graveyard: "Go, Dragon Buster! Eliminate 'Evil Hero Dark Gaia'!"
The Dragon Buster's cannon barrel lowered, and the golden energy shot struck Gaia's body head-on! The Evil Hero groaned in agony, its body twisting and spinning under the might of the light cannon, and quickly vanished into thin air on the field.
"Very well," Ed nodded. "This way, his trump card is destroyed!"
He indeed defeated Marik, the GX champion, and his strength is truly exceptional!
But Manjome wasn't finished; his evolution was not limited to this stage.
"Judai!" he said, "This was originally prepared as a trump card against you, but today I'll showcase it here specially!"
Manjome revealed another card that he drew: "Activate Continuous Magic 'D.D Hangar'!" (Anime Card)
A black vortex appeared above his head, resembling a warehouse leading to a dimension space. Manjome drew two cards that were ejected from his deck, and with a flick of his arm, the two cards vanished into the dimensional fissure above his head.
"D.D Hangar, as the effect processing when activated, banish up to three Level 4 or lower Union Monsters from your deck from the game.
I banish 'Y-Head Dragon' and 'Z-Metal Tank'!"
"This Hangar, could it be..." Ed's mind pondered, "Are you planning..."
"Magic Card 'Iron Call'! When you have a Machine-Type monster on your field, Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Machine-Type monster from your graveyard!
The effect of the monster summoned by this effect is negated and it will self-destruct at the end of the turn."
A card popped out from the graveyard.
"I Special Summon 'X-Head Cannon' that was discarded to the graveyard by 'Graceful Charity'!"
['X-Head Cannon', Attack Power 1800]
"The effect of 'Card of Safe Return'," the Supreme King declared, "draw three cards."
"At this moment, Continuous Magic 'D.D Hangar's effect!" said Manjome. "When you Summon or Special Summon a monster on your field, if the Union Monster card that was banished by Hangar has the name of the monster I summoned, you can Special Summon those Union Monsters from the banished zone!"
He raised his hand towards the dimensional void in midair.
"Appear now! Y-Head Dragon and Z-Metal Tank!"
['Y-Head Dragon', Attack Power 1500]
['Z-Metal Tank', Attack Power 1500]
X, Y, and Z, the classic fusion mech from the DM era, gathered once more.
Of course, Manjome could instantly fuse them, but the total output and attack frequency would be reduced if they fused. So instead, he swung his hand directly: "Battle Phase!
First, 'ABC-Dragon Buster', direct attack!"
The giant mech began to gather energy, firing a golden blast from afar! The beam tore through space, traversing the entire island, and screeched towards the Supreme King!
Ed held his breath.
The Supreme King had no monster on the field, and there were zero Set Cards in the back field. Manjome's mechanical monsters on the field had a total of four consecutive strikes, as long as the attack went through successfully, they would win this duel directly!
BOOM!!!
The Supreme King actually just stood there, taking the hit without any movements. The wave of explosion surged over his body, blasting him back several meters, but he stubbornly stood his ground.
[The Supreme King, LP 5600 → LP 2600]
No response? No means in hand to defend against the attack either?
Ed and Manjome both felt their hearts race.
Just two more... just two more strikes and it would be victorious!
"Go, X-Head Cannon!" Manjome declared, "Direct attack!"
Cannon tubes on X-Head Cannon's shoulders simultaneously locked on, and the light cannon exploded on the Supreme King's body!
[The Supreme King, LP 2600 → LP 800]
Both of them held their breath.
"Then the final blow!" Manjome shouted, "Go! Y-Head Dragon, direct attack! Wake up, Judai!"
Y-Head Dragon opened its mouth, blasting out azure high-voltage lightning!
Ed's eyes widened.
It's succeeding!
The Supreme King opened his lightly closed eyes, his golden irises shooting out sharp blades.
"At this instant, activate the effect of 'Juragedo' from my hand," he said coldly. "During the battle step of myself or my opponent, Special Summon this card from the hand and recover 1000 Life Points."
A black mist spread out, and a purple-black demon jumped onto the Supreme King's field.
Juragedo, a hand pit from the Ancient Era, with seniority almost akin to Kuriboh, also hailing from 'Yu-Gi-Oh! DM.'
[Juragedo, Attack Power 1700]
[The Supreme King, LP 800 → LP 1800]
Y-Head Dragon's attack abruptly halted.
"Damn, it's a trap of this type," Manjome frowned. "In that case, Battle Recall, the attack is ceased. I'll proceed like this into Main Phase 2."
It's frustrating how close it was, yet he couldn't break through.
But Manjome still had firm confidence.
Because he had one last trump card not yet revealed!
"On the field, 'X-Head Cannon', 'Y-Head Dragon', and 'Z-Metal Tank', triple fusion!" Manjome shouted, "Three Union Monsters transform and fuse! Appear—
—XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"
X, Y, and Z are excluded from the game, transformation and fusion assembling into the classic cannon war vehicle, its entire body delivering a lively jolt of electricity as it landed on the field.
[XYZ-Dragon Cannon, Attack Power 2800]
But what's next is the highlight!
"I exclude 'XYZ-Dragon Cannon' and 'ABC-Dragon Buster' from the game, once again transforming and assembling!"
Ed was rather shocked.
"Fusing two triple-fusion mechs again!?"
This is the black tech armament President Haima had secretly concocted in isolation at the company, and it has yet to appear in a public setting.
Two mechas respectively separated, transforming and assembling once more. The metallic components are guided and secured under infrared targeting, with each lock and unlock of the metallic structures accompanied by electric snakes and sparks flying.
"The ultimate fusion, the ultimate armament!" Manjome loudly declared, "Suppress with absolute firepower, appear here—
A-to-Z-Dragon Buster Cannon!!!"
