In an instant, a violent gale rose on the dueling grounds, a green storm vortex frantically forming before Jack. A deep dragon's roar echoed through the air, as if the wind elements of the world bowed in submission at this very moment.
"Roar——!!!"
With a deafening bellow, a gigantic dragon silhouette burst forth from the storm! Its entire body was emerald green, its scales gleaming like jade, and when its wings spread, they blotted out the sky, each membrane flowing with storm patterns. The Strong Wind Dragon soared upwards, distorting the surrounding air with its presence, creating countless tiny wind blades.
[Strong Wind Dragon, Attack Power 2400]
And at the instant of its full reveal, the shadow of an "Evil Dragon" used as a sacrifice appeared, the black dragon soul howling as it was sucked in by the open maw of the Strong Wind Dragon, devouring it completely! The power of the Evil Dragon transformed into a dark green energy flow, coiling around the Strong Wind Dragon's claws and wing bones, escalating its momentum even further!
"Effect of Strong Wind Dragon!"
Fake Jack laughed heartily.
"When Strong Wind Dragon is released for an upper-level summon with a Dragon-type Monster as a tribute, this card's attack power increases by half the original attack power of the sacrificed Monster!
Strong Wind Absorption!"
[Strong Wind Dragon, Attack Power 2400→Attack Power 3400]
"I see, because the ruling on the attack power of the 'sacrificed Monster' is after it was sent to the graveyard. In the graveyard, the Evil Dragon's attack power reverts to 2000 points.
Thus, the Strong Wind Dragon can absorb half of the Evil Dragon's attack power, which is 1000 points of strength." Yugen nodded slightly.
"Starting to look a bit like a king now."
"Not just the look, I am the absolute ruler!" Fake Jack shouted, "Unlike that kind of disgraceful imposter!"
Speak of the devil, as soon as he spoke, the roar of engines tore through the night from behind. A white circular D-Wheel burst onto the battleground like a wounded beast, the tires leaving four burnt marks on the asphalt road.
The visor of Yugen's helmet reflected the neon lights as he turned his head, raising an eyebrow at the approaching figure: "Didn't I tell you to wait for the ambulance?"
Yugen had Silent Magician use a Healing Spell to ease the pain and injuries, but he hadn't completely healed Jack's injuries from his crash. Despite still being at his limit, Jack had immediately pursued them as soon as he barely regained mobility.
"What a joke..." Jack's front tire of the D-Wheel suddenly turned sideways 90 degrees, forming a pincer position around the white D-Wheel with Yugen, "I'll settle this score with this imposter myself!"
Fake Jack's platinum blonde hair danced wildly in the whirlpool, yet he laughed, "Just you? A guy who couldn't even die properly, recklessly chasing after me like this... Fine then.
I'll deal with this guy and then give you the final blow!"
The duel continued. Fake Jack waved his big hand, "My main phase isn't over yet.
Next, I activate the Magic Card 'Revive the Dead' from my hand!"
A giant emerald revival insignia appeared above his D-Wheel, followed by a black shadow. The Evil Dragon that had exited as a sacrifice once again flapped its wings and returned to the field.
"Revive 'Evil Dragon' from the graveyard!" Fake Jack stated, "And because it was revived from the graveyard, the information about its attack power being halved has long been refreshed. Now, the Evil Dragon returns to its original attack power value!"
[Evil Dragon, Attack Power 2000]
True Jack's face changed drastically: "That guy wants to decide the outcome in one turn!"
He hurriedly warned Yugen: "Be careful, that Strong Wind Dragon is a Monster with a defense piercing effect! If you're attacked by it..."
On Yugen's field, the defense power of "Sato Kaeru" was only 200, and if it were pierced by the Strong Wind Dragon's attack power of 3400, he would instantly suffer a massive damage of 3200.
Then, the Evil Dragon would attack the "Piercing Frog" on the field with 400 attack power, resulting in Yugen being obliterated by this magnificent Dragon Race combo!
"Even if you realize it, it's too late!" Fake Jack said arrogantly, "Watch closely, this is a king's duel! Leaving no room for error, achieving absolute victory in an instant!
Use 'Strong Wind Dragon' to attack the 'Sato Kaeru' covered face-down!"
A visible tornado formed in the center of the duel arena, and the Strong Wind Dragon unfolded its sprawling emerald wings, with enough storm energy to rip the earth swirling in its dragon mouth.
"Destroy it!" Fake Jack roared, waving his arm, as the Hurricane Cannon fired, plowing a three-meter-wide trench into the ground.
The defense representation of Sato Kaeru was meaningless in the face of absolute power; the card flipped over and immediately turned to dust in the green light.
"At this moment, I discard 'Chestnut Ball' from my hand." Yugen said, "Chestnut Ball can be discarded from the hand during the opponent's attack to make battle damage become 0."
The Chestnut Ball card flicked from his fingertips and spun in the air, suddenly expanding into a fluffy shield.
"Kurree Kuri!" In a cute voice, the Chestnut Ball absorbed all the destructive energy with its elastic body. The storm raised countless golden sparks on the fluffy surface, eventually dissipating with a "poof" like a punctured balloon. Yugen's D-Wheel didn't budge an inch in the blast, and the Life Points on the duel disc display remained unchanged.
Fake Jack: "A monster effect from the hand? It actually stopped it?"
"It's not over yet." Yugen smiled, "The 'Sato Kaeru' you just attacked also has a monster effect.
When this card is attacked, it can bounce monsters on the opponent's field back to the owner's hand, based on the number of monsters with 'Kaeru' in the name on my field.
On my field, there are two frogs, 'Sato Kaeru' and 'Piercing Frog', so I can bounce back up to two monsters to the owner's hand."
Yugen snapped his fingers.
"Bounce Evil Dragon and Strong Wind Dragon back to the hand."
In an instant, the frog's tongue shot out like lightning, transforming into two blue water current chains that swiftly entangled the virtual figures of Strong Wind Dragon and Evil Dragon! Fake Jack's pupils shrank: "What?!"
"Roar!" The Strong Wind Dragon roared angrily, trying to break free, but the chains emitted electricity, causing the bodies of the two great dragons to twist and shrink, eventually transforming into two streams of light that were forcibly pulled back to the hand on Fake Jack's D-Wheel.
Fake Jack's face was as dark as if water could drip from it: "Juvenile Frog..."
Such a powerful formation, the double dragons of absolute destruction, were supposed to win the duel this round. Yet, they were thwarted by such a simple little frog...
"'In a king's eyes, there is no room for defensive riffraff,' that's your famous line, right?" Yugen smiled.
Fake Jack remained silent.
"Is that why you chose to attack 'Sato Kaeru' first?" Yugen smiled, "What a shame. If you had attacked 'Piercing Frog' first with the Evil Dragon, you could have at least inflicted some damage on me. Then with Strong Wind Dragon attacking Sato Kaeru afterward, since there would only be one frog on my field, I could only bounce back one of your monsters to the hand.
That way, at least one of your dragons would likely remain on the field."
Yugen shook his head with a "tsk, tsk".
"As for the so-called 'king', your tactics and intentions are really easy to read."
Fake Jack was too angry to speak, but his complexion turned green. As for True Jack, although he was glad to see the imposter's embarrassment, he refrained from mockery.
Because he realized that Yugen was dishing out lines that should originally be his own famous quotes...
