"Sword Ryzeal's effect. If you have a Ryzeal monster on your field or in your GY, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. During the turn this card is Special Summoned by this method, the only monsters you can Special Summon from the Extra Deck are Rank 4 Xyz Monsters!"
Yusaku looked at Kazuki. "There's a Ryzeal monster in my Graveyard, so I meet this card's Summoning condition!"
With that, he slapped the card onto his Duel Disk.
"Come forth, Sword Ryzeal!"
At his command, azure flames and golden currents twisted together, surging wildly over a skeletal machine frame, before finally condensing into a mech wielding a chainsaw greatsword.
As the blade spun, teal-gold sparks burst outward. Each "breath" from its chassis vented scorching heatwaves. The instant it appeared, a crescent-shaped slash of energy carved across the ground, gouging a deep scar into the arena floor.
Sword Ryzeal
Level 4 / Thunder / Effect
"Sword Ryzeal's effect!"
Yusaku barked out the declaration.
"When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, I can add 1 FIRE, LIGHT Pyro monster from my Deck to my hand. I add Ext Ryzeal from my Deck to my hand!"
After adding the searched card, he immediately sent it to the Graveyard.
"Ext Ryzeal's effect. I can Special Summon this card from my hand by sending 1 Xyz Monster from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard."
Yusaku briefly revealed a card from his Extra Deck, then slotted it into the Duel Disk.
"I send Stellarknight Summer Triangle from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard, then Special Summon Ext Ryzeal from my hand!"
Ext Ryzeal
ATK 500
"Next, the effect of Node Ryzeal in my hand. If there's an Xyz Monster on my field or in my GY, I can Special Summon it. My field already meets the condition, so I Special Summon this card!"
Its shoulders were mounted with two rotating energy cannon barrels, the muzzles flickering with dangerous violet light. As it arrived, a ring-shaped electromagnetic barrier spun up around it, lifting nearby gravel slightly off the ground. (Image omitted.)
Node Ryzeal
Level 4 / Thunder / Effect
ATK 1400
"Next, I activate the effect of the Spell Card Armored Xyz! (This card targets 1 monster on the field and 1 Xyz Monster in your GY, and Special Summons an Xyz Monster by using them as Xyz Materials!)"
Yusaku raised a card from his Graveyard for the crowd to see.
"I send Stellarknight Summer Triangle, which was placed in my Spell & Trap Zone as an Equip Spell, to the Graveyard, then Special Summon Ice Ryzeal from my Graveyard in Defense Position!"
Ice Ryzeal
DEF 1000
"At this moment, the Stellarknight Summer Triangle that was sent to the Graveyard triggers!"
Yusaku shouted.
"When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, I can activate its effect. I send 1 'tellarknight' card from my Deck to the Graveyard. I Special Summon Satellarknight Unukalhai from my Deck to the field!"
Satellarknight Unukalhai
Level 4 / Warrior / Effect
ATK 1800
"Satellarknight Unukalhai's effect!"
He continued without pause.
"When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, I can send 1 'Satellarknight' card from my Deck to the Graveyard. I send Satellarknight Unukalhai from my Deck to the Graveyard."
After sending the selected card to the Graveyard, Yusaku swept his arm outward.
"Now, I overlay all five monsters on my field—Sword Ryzeal, Ext Ryzeal, Node Ryzeal, Ice Ryzeal, and Satellarknight Unukalhai!"
Hearing that, Kazuki frowned slightly and focused. He wanted to see exactly what Yusaku was about to bring out.
Yusaku raised his arm.
"By the star rails as our contract, and by guardianship as our vow! Crossing the boundary of the twelve zodiacs, bearing the radiance of countless stars—"
"—Descend! Tellarknight Ptolemaeus!!!"
Five monsters became streams of golden light and shot into the sky above the field.
In the next instant, the arena went dark. A dazzling zodiac star chart bloomed across the domed ceiling, the twelve constellations blazing with gilded light as a stellar ring formed around the entire battlefield.
At the center of that ring, a nebula-like vortex split open. Countless motes of stardust poured down like a waterfall, gathering on the floor into a radiant golden magic circle.
As the sigils ignited, a tall figure stepped forth upon the stars—silver armor set with blue-white gems like the Big Dipper, a half-transparent cloak woven from starlight trailing behind him, scattering glittering specks with every sway.
Tellarknight Ptolemaeus
Rank 4 / Warrior / Xyz / Effect
ATK 550
The moment the monster appeared, the time display hit two minutes and thirty seconds exactly.
Kazuki froze. For a second, he genuinely thought he was seeing things. He even rubbed his eyes, then sneered.
"You spent all that time building a board… just to summon a monster with 550 ATK…"
He paused, eyes cutting back to Yusaku.
"If you want to end the duel, you have to reduce your opponent's LP to zero. I can stand here and let that thing hit me ten times, and you still won't kill me!"
Yusaku gave him a sideways glance. "A monster's strength isn't decided by its ATK."
"You'll find out what it can do in a second."
Then Yusaku called out sharply.
"The effect of Satellarknight Altair in my Graveyard! If a 'Satellarknight' card other than this one is Special Summoned to my field, I can Special Summon this card from my Graveyard!"
"I send Stellarknight Summer Triangle, which was placed in my Spell & Trap Zone as an Equip Spell, to the Graveyard, then Special Summon Ice Ryzeal from my Graveyard in Defense Position!"
Ice Ryzeal
DEF 1000
"At this moment, the Stellarknight Summer Triangle that was sent to the Graveyard triggers!"
Yusaku shouted.
"When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, I can activate its effect. I send 1 'tellarknight' card from my Deck to the Graveyard. I Special Summon Satellarknight Unukalhai from my Deck to the field!"
Satellarknight Unukalhai
Level 4 / Warrior / Effect
ATK 1800
"Satellarknight Unukalhai's effect!"
He continued.
"When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned, I can send 1 'Satellarknight' card from my Deck to the Graveyard. I send Satellarknight Unukalhai from my Deck to the Graveyard."
After sending the selected card to the Graveyard, Yusaku swept his arm outward.
"Now, I overlay all five monsters on my field—Sword Ryzeal, Ext Ryzeal, Node Ryzeal, Ice Ryzeal, and Satellarknight Unukalhai!"
