The scorching breath swept over, like flames from the deepest depths of hell, carrying pure destruction and despair, turning everything into twisted shades of red and black.
A massive figure slowly took shape amidst the blazing flames. It seemed to come from another world, a terrifying Demon God cloaked in fire. Its body was made up of countless burning fragments, each radiating a heat capable of melting steel. The flames in the demon's eyes were deep whirlpools, transforming into fiery red wings at its back, burning fiercely.
[Nuclear Demon God Valafar, Attack Power 3000]
"One sacrifice can summon an eight-star monster!?" exclaimed a member of the Illusion Association.
"The effect of Nuclear Demon God Valafar, when this card is summoned using a 'Nuclear' monster as a sacrifice, an upper-level summon can be performed with just one sacrifice!"
Repack said smugly.
"As for the Cyber Dragon, let's tear it to pieces with the demon's power! Proceed to the battle phase.
Nuclear Demon God Valafar, attack 'Cyber Dragon'!"
The Demon God roared, as if even hell resonated in response. Endless flames rose around it, spiraling pillars of magma burned, converging in the demon's hand, resembling a hideous fire dragon roaring forth.
Cyber Dragon also sprayed out Evolutionary Light Flame to resist, but was instantly overwhelmed with crushing force. Even its steel body couldn't withstand the high temperature and was melted into a pool of molten iron.
[Yugen, LP 4000→LP 3100]
"Then activate the trap." Yugen waved his hand to reveal a card from the back field, "Trap Card 'Sacrificial Treasure Scroll.'
If the attack power of your monsters on the field combined is lower than the lowest attack power monster on the opponent's field, you can draw two cards from your deck." (Original effect)
Repack nodded: "Your field still has a Cyber Dragon, and my field only has Valafar. Cyber Dragon's attack power is lower than that of Nuclear Demon God Valafar."
"I'll draw two cards." Yugen drew his cards.
"Then I'll activate Magic Card 'Heaven and Earth's Treasure Scroll' on my side." Repack said, "In the turn an upper-level summon is performed, draw two cards from the deck.
But the cards drawn cannot be used this turn. If they can be set, at least one of them must be covered on the field." (Original card)
Repack also drew two cards.
He then added those two cards to his hand, drawing out one card along with another from his hand.
"Set two cards, end of turn." Repack said, "Of course, Nuclear Demon God Valafar has a side effect.
Every end phase, a Magic Card 'Nuclear Beast's Steel Core' must be sent from the hand to the graveyard. If not sent, this card must be destroyed."
He revealed the Magic Card retrieved to his hand in the previous turn.
"I send the Magic Card 'Nuclear Beast's Steel Core' from my hand to the graveyard, maintaining the presence of Nuclear Demon God Valafar on the field."
The burning giant demon's form flickered briefly, but soon regained its substance, the flames on its body seemed to burn even more fiercely than before.
"Then my turn, draw a card." Yugen said, "Activate Magic Card 'Pot of Greed,' draw two cards from the deck."
Yugen drew two cards.
"Then activate Magic Card 'Planet Transformation,' adding one Field Spell Card from the deck to the hand.
The card I want to add from the deck is this one..."
A card automatically popped out from the deck in the Duel Disc, Yugen drew it into his hand, and the deck automatically shuffled back in the slot.
"Add Field Spell 'Gate of Fusion' to hand."
Following that, the hidden compartment on the side of the Duel Disc popped open, the Field Spell was directly placed into it, stored within the Duel Disc.
"Activate Field Spell 'Gate of Fusion'!"
A pitch-black vortex appeared in midair, like thick black clouds, or perhaps a wormhole leading to the other side of the cosmos.
"While Gate of Fusion is on the field, we can both perform fusion summoning without the use of 'Fusion' magic. However, the fusion material monsters used are not sent to the graveyard but are removed from the game."
"Perform another fusion summon?" Repack furrowed his brows.
"That's right."
Yugen drew out the remaining Cyber Dragon on the Duel Disc along with another card from his hand, throwing both cards into the air.
The vortex in midair seemed to release infinite gravitational force, grabbing the cards thrown, absorbing them into the vortex.
"I fuse the 'Original Electronic Dragon' from my hand and the 'Cyber Dragon' on the field." Yugen said, "Fusion condition is, two or more 'Cyber Dragon' monsters. Fusion Summon!
A new evolution from the Electronic School, releasing all constraints into this rampage—
——Chimeric Rampage Dragon, summon!!!"
The images of Cyber Dragon and Original Electronic Dragon both appeared, absorbed into the fusion vortex, emitting dense metallic collision sounds. Followed by a burst of electrical light from the black hole, like a lightning strike from the sky, carrying a multi-headed steel giant dragon which crashed down, exploding a circle of blue transparent shock wave.
[Chimeric Rampage Dragon, Attack Power 2100]
"The effect of Chimeric Rampage Dragon! Upon fusion summon, based on the number of fusion materials used for this card, destroy that number of magic and trap cards on the field."
Repack: "Chimeric Rampage Dragon's fusion used two materials..."
"Correct." Yugen said, "Therefore, destroy the two cover cards in your back field."
Rampage Dragon roared, spewing out electrical currents like javelins piercing forth, hitting Repack's two cover cards in the back field, shattering them into pieces.
"Tch..." Repack pursed his lips.
"Chimeric Rampage Dragon's second effect." Yugen said, "Once per turn, during your main phase, send up to two Light Attribute, Mechanical Race monsters from the deck to the graveyard.
During this turn, in the same battle phase, in addition to the regular attack, it can make additional attacks equal to the number of monsters sent to the graveyard using this effect."
Yugen drew out two cards automatically popped from the deck, sending them to the graveyard.
"I send two more 'Original Electronic Dragons' from the deck to the graveyard. Thus, this turn, in addition to the regular attack, Chimeric Rampage Dragon can make up to two additional attacks.
In total, it can attack three times this turn."
"Attack three times in one turn!?" Repack was shocked.
"Not only can it destroy the back field, but it also possesses such terrifying assault capabilities, truly a fearsome monster..."
"But even so, its attack power is only 2100, far less than Nuclear Demon God Valafar." Repack said.
[Nuclear Demon God Valafar, Attack Power 3000]
Attack power isn't enough, no matter how much more attack power it gets, it's all in vain.
"Yeah, that sure is troublesome."
Though these words were spoken by Yugen, he merely gave a light, breezy smile.
"But don't rush. Now let me show you what it means to unlock the true methods of the Electronic School."
