Chapter 76 A Wake-Up Call
"Your [Armed Dragon Thunderbolt LV10] is not the only dragon that has resistance that cannot be destroyed by battle, Hayato! [Blue Eyes] is the strongest dragon. In this case, [Blue Eyes Double Explosion Dragon] has the ability to not be destroyed by battle. The resistance to destruction is also natural!"
Although the logic was problematic in all aspects, Kaiba successfully convinced himself that it was normal for [Blue Eyes Double Explosion Dragon] not to be destroyed by battle, and when he felt the counterattack of [Armed Dragon Thunderbolt LV10] In an instant, he suddenly understood the full effect of [Blue Eyes Double Exploding Dragon].
"[Blue-Eyes Double Explosion Dragon] has the ability to attack monsters twice in one battle phase, and if the attack of [Blue-Eyes Double Explosion Dragon] fails to cause the target monster to be destroyed by battle, at the end of the damage step, then Only the target monster will be removed from the game!"
"Exile [Armed Dragon·Thunder LV10] to the end of the world where it cannot hinder me, [Blue Eyes Double Explosion Dragon]!"
The portal to another dimension created by the attack of [Blue Eyes Double Explosion Dragon] disappeared in an instant, along with the [Armed Dragon Thunderbolt LV10] on Hayato's field and the [Dark Curse Binding] on Kaiba's back field. 】.
"This way, you won't have any obstructive monsters on the field to resist direct attacks, Hayato!" Kaiba sneered, "Take this one and attack directly, [Trickster]!"
The Riddler, I mean [The Trickster] heard Kaiba's order, put his hands together and conjured a magic bullet, attacking Hayato.
But just when [Trickster]'s attack was about to hit Hayato, a gray dimensional wall appeared in front of Hayato, completely blocking [Trickster]'s attack.
"Who said you can't block a direct attack without a monster?" Hayato calmly pointed to the cover card on his back field that was opened at some point. "The trap card [Counterattack Gate] can only be activated when it is directly attacked, so that The attack is negated, and then I draw a card from the deck."
"If the card I drew is a monster card, I can Normal Summon it in attack position."
As he spoke, Hayato drew a card.
"What a coincidence, isn't it?" Hayato said, turning over the card in his hand to reveal his true appearance, "The card I drew is level 5 [Hell Flame Curse Dragon]. Without a sacrifice, Unable to perform normal summons."
"However, considering that Seth, your [Blue-Eyed Double Explosion Dragon] has the ability to launch a second attack on monsters, I would not choose to summon it even if I could."
"It doesn't matter, whether you recklessly summon monsters or reserve resources to plan a counterattack, it's meaningless, Hayato Kobayashi." Kaiba raised his head slightly, "The [Blue Eyes] I hold is the strongest dragon. , there is a gap as wide as the sky and the abyss between them and other dragon clans."
"My turn is over, you can do whatever you want, because all resistance is extremely weak in front of [Blue Eyes Double Explosive Dragon]!"
[Haima: 2700LP, 0 cards in hand]
[Blue Eyes Double Explosive Dragon] [ATK3000]
【Trickster】【ATK2000】
"It's better not to speak so slowly in advance, Kaiba. Because Duel Monsters is not a board game where all the cards are put on the bright side. Every time you draw a card, you will create new possibilities and hopes." Hayato smiled, Pulling out the top card of the deck, "My turn, draw a card!"
"Activating the magic card [Angel's Alms], I draw three cards from the deck, then select two cards in my hand and discard them."
After sending the two cards in his hand to the graveyard, Hayato looked at a card in his hand and smiled: "Although it doesn't have the super power that can best utilize its power, let you see the dragon that once dominated the duel monsters! "
"Remove the two dragon-type monsters in my graveyard - [Armed Dragon·Thunder LV7] and [Armed Dragon·Thunder LV5] from the game, and special summon this monster from my hand!" Hayato said. The card was played, "One of the four elements that make up the world, the extreme of cold and dry earth, leave your decaying and majestic body to me to drive!"
"[Yan Zhenglong-Rust Dragon]!"
As Hayato placed the card in his hand on the duel plate, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently.
Amid the tremors that were like an eight-magnitude earthquake, what was strange was that the [Iwazhengryu-Rust Dragon] that Hayato played did not appear for a long time. Just when everyone was wondering where [Yan Zhenglong-Rusty Dragon] was, they were surprised to find that at some point, there was a towering and moving mountain range beside the Duel Tower!
The mountains are covered with the ruins of the old weapons production lines on Alcatraz Island. Amidst the violent tremors, the "mountains" opened its eyes.
This is clearly a duel monster! The [Iwazheng Dragon - Rust Dragon] summoned by Hayato is exactly the "mountain" in front of him!
[Yanzhenglong-Rust Dragon][7☆/land]
【Dragon/Effect】
【1600/3000】
"This size is too big, right?!" Jonouchi looked at the overly exaggerated size of [Iwazhenglong-Rust Dragon] and couldn't help but swallowed, "Even the Kaiba guy's [Obelisk's giant... The Divine Weapon is not as exaggerated in size as this monster!"
It can only be said that the times have limited Jonouchi's imagination. Although [Iwazheng Dragon - Rust Dragon] is indeed huge in size, it is still inferior to [Machine God], [Odin], [Dyson Sphere], [Ultimate Time Machine God] and the like. And not to mention, in the DM era alone, there are two equally huge monsters, [Snake God Yi] and [Creator God of Light].
And to be fair, [Yan Zhenglong - Explosive Dragon] can be compared to the size of a volcano, [Lan Zhenglong - Biaolong] is about the same size as a tornado that reaches the sky, [Waterfall Zhenglong - Tide Dragon] is the same height as a great flood, [ The fact that Yanzhenglong - Rusty Dragon is a moving mountain range is quite reasonable.
Of course, another feature of Duel Monsters is that the upper limit of the size of the monsters is quite high. However, once the duel takes place indoors, the virtual image of the Duel Monsters will automatically adjust its size and proportion, so that people in the room will not appear in the duel. On the scene, there are several feet that make people guess which foot is which monster.
"Hmph, another dragon I've never heard of." Kaiba snorted coldly. Although the size of [Yan Zhenglong - Rust Dragon] is indeed quite exaggerated, its attack power is only 1,600 points. Compared with its exaggerated The volume does not match.
As for its 3000 points of defense, if there is no [Blue Eyes Double Explosive Dragon], it will indeed make Kaiba feel a little bit troublesome, but now? Humph, it's nothing more than the consequence of being excluded.
"Your next sentence is, 'Although the attack power of [Blue Eyes Double Explosion Dragon] is not enough to break the defense of [Rock March Dragon - Rust Dragon], its effect can crush any defense'!"
"Although the attack power of [Blue Eyes Double Explosion Dragon] is not enough to break the defense of [Iwazheng Dragon - Rust Dragon] - Nani!" Kaiba subconsciously repeated Hayato's words, and suddenly realized that what he said was different from It's exactly the same as what Hayato said!
"You guy!"
Hayato teased Kaiba, who was overly serious, and then continued:
"Humph, Seth, do you know what is the scariest thing about duel monsters? It's not the strongest monster that shows the invincibility effect, but the monster that doesn't reveal all its effects."
"It's like if a person with empty hands and a person with a pistol are standing in front of you, the person with empty hands is more of a threat than the person with the gun, because the person with the gun only has Can use a gun!”
As he spoke, Hayato played another card from his hand: "Magic card [Dragon Mirror]! I remove the materials required for the dragon fusion monster from the field and the graveyard, and fusion summon a dragon fusion monster!"
"Except the [Dark Knight-Gaia] in my graveyard and the [Rock March Dragon-Rust Dragon] on my field from the game, and show up, [Celestial Dragon Knight-Gaia]!!"
As the tall [Iwazheng Dragon-Rusty Dragon] fell, its huge energy merged into the [Dragon Mirror] that appeared in Hayato's backcourt.
The reason why Hayato exchanged one of his [Dragon Mirrors] with Jonouchi before was because by chance, he opened the pack and got a second [Dragon Mirror]. Although [Dragon Mirror] is not considered junk, it is not so easy to use that two of them are included in a deck, so Hayato handed one of them to Jonouchi.
Under the guidance of the power of [Iwazheng Dragon - Rust Dragon], [Gaia], who helped Hayato defeat powerful enemies time and time again, also showed up in this duel. In fact, as early as the first round, Hayato drew [Dark Knight-Gaia], but in order to special summon [Chaos Hunter] from his hand, he was sent to the graveyard by Hayato, and he had no chance to appear until now. .
Crossing his arms across his chest, Kaiba watched coldly as Hayato summoned [Sky Dragon Knight - Gaia].
[Tianxiang Dragon Knight-Gaia] [ATK2600]
"[Iwazheng Dragon - Rust Dragon] has effects that can be activated when it is removed from the game, but unfortunately all three of its effects can only be used once per turn." Hayato spread his hands helplessly, "But [Tianxiang Dragon] Knight-Gaia]'s effect can be activated normally. When he is specially summoned successfully, add a [Spiral Gunman] from my deck and graveyard to my hand."
"Then I activate the [Spiral Gun] and enter the combat phase."
As he spoke, Hayato looked at the [Blue-Eyed Double Explosion Dragon] on the Kaiba Field - the [Trickster] next to him.
"Although [Blue Eyes Double Explosion Dragon] has resistance that cannot be destroyed by battle, it can only protect itself. [Celestial Dragon Knight-Gaia], attack [Trickster]!"
"Then activate the effect of [Sky Dragon Knight-Gaia] and change the form of [Trickster]!"
"I've explained it beforehand, Seth. If you are an enemy of [Celestial Dragon Knight-Gaia], the one who decides the monster's representation is not you but me!"
"Soaring into the sky like a dragon!"
Already completely accustomed to his master's arbitrary and strange move names, [Gaia] did not delve into who the user of this move name was. Anyway, this name was the most appropriate among the recent ones. After the flying dragon on his crotch accelerated for a certain distance, [Gaia] handed out the lance in his hand to [The Trickster] who was forcibly changed into an offensive and defensive form on the seahorse field.
[Tianxiang Dragon Knight-Gaia] [ATK2600]
【Trickster】【ATK2000→1200】
Because of the existence of [Spiral Gun], a full 1,400 points of defensive penetration damage were transmitted to Kaiba.
"Ahem!"
[Haima: 2700→1300LP]
In just the fourth round of this duel, Kaiba, who was always good at crushing his opponents with forceful attacks, had his basic points deducted to just over a thousand by Hayato.
Seeing the damage done to Kaiba by [Celestial Dragon Knight-Gaia], Hayato said: "Because [Celestial Dragon Knight-Gaia], who is regarded as [Dragon Knight-Gaia], uses the effect of [Spiral Gun] on Kaiba." You caused damage, and I activated the second effect of [Spiral Gun]."
"Draw two cards from the deck, then pick one card from your hand and discard it."
Seeing the [Treasure Card Falling from the Sky] being drawn into his hand, Hayato reluctantly sent the [Rainbow Chestnut Ball] into the cemetery. Although he has no intention of activating [Treasure Card from Heaven] in the second main phase, Hayato is not willing to send it to the graveyard like this. It is better to discard [Rainbow Chestnut Ball] which can activate the effect in the graveyard.
There are still two cards in his hand. Keeping the [Treasure Card Falling from the Sky] in his hand, Hayato covers another trap card: "I will cover a card and end my turn."
[Hayato: 4000LP, 1 card in hand]
[Tianxiang Dragon Knight-Gaia] [ATK2600]
【Armed Dragon's Thunder】【Gaka】
Seeing Hayato end his turn like this, Kaiba frowned and said to Hayato with some dissatisfaction: "Is your turn over like this, Hayato Kobayashi?"
"Obviously we were in the finals where everything was on the line. I originally thought about what kind of fierce battle we would have with you, but what did I see? Did you really use your full strength, Hayato Kobayashi?"
Looking at the serious expression on Kaiba's face, Hayato wasn't sure what he was going to do by suddenly asking this: "Isn't that of course?"
"In that case, why can't I hear anything during your attack?" Kaiba looked directly at Hayato and said, "The fierce collision of duelist souls and the desire for victory, why can't even the seriousness of that mediocre person... Above you?"
"Or, after defeating Yugi, do you think that I, who lost to Yugi before, am not even qualified to pose a threat to you? Hayato Kobayashi!"
Under Kaiba's angry shouts, Hayato wanted to retort, but then he realized that his mentality from the beginning of the duel to the present was exactly the same as what Kaiba said!
Seeing that Hayato was speechless, Kaiba snorted coldly: "Huh, did I get it right? If I didn't defeat you who tried your best, even if you won the title of Duel King, it would only add to the shame. Be serious! , Hayato Kobayashi.”
"Or do you have to be forced into a desperate situation by me before you are willing to show your true strength?"
As he spoke, Kaiba put his finger on the deck and suddenly pulled out the card: "My turn, draw the card!"
