Tenjo Hikari thought for a moment and nodded, "Activate Magnum's effect to destroy your Glass Witch on the field."
"Then, I'll chain your activation with my own effect, discarding Witchcrafter's Camouflage to negate the effects of all your Monsters on the field!"
Tenjo Hikari nodded, without any dissent.
Just like that, Magnum banished Instant Fusion, attempted to destroy the Glass Witch, only to find itself caught in a glass bottle as well.
Meanwhile, Sanderion on the field and the Witchcrafter Attack·Forging Artisan on the field fused together.
A tailor with a seemingly serious demeanor, but whose left hand was trembling, appeared on the field.
"Ah—" An onlooking tailor couldn't help but exclaim.
"Fusion Summon, Witchcrafter Vice-Madame. Ahem—"
It tried to act cute.
Witchcrafter Vice-Madame, LV 8, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 2700.
"Now, there's nothing to obstruct us." Sanderion chuckled lightly, "Activate the effect of Miniature Forge in the Graveyard, banish it, and send Miniature Painting from the Deck to the Graveyard."
"At this moment, the effect of Little...Big Tailor is activated~"
"No need to emphasize 'Big'!" The tailor was displeased.
"When a Spellcaster-Type Monster other than a Fusion Monster or Spell Card's effect is activated, you can choose one of its effects to activate. Surprisingly, there are a total of 3 effects!
I'll first activate the third effect, returning a Witchcrafter Spell and Trap Card from the Graveyard to my hand."
Casually, it picked up Witchcrafter Creation, "Then, activate the effect of Miniature Painting in the Graveyard, banishing it. Draw one card, then send one Witchcrafter card from the hand to the Graveyard.
If there are no Witchcrafter cards in your hand, banish all cards in your hand."
Of course, there was a Witchcrafter in its hand.
"Also, don't forget, at this point, I can activate the tailor's effect to destroy one card on your field—let's destroy that Magnum."
It drew a card, glanced down, and said: "Discard Witchcrafter's Demonstration."
"Then, finally, activate the Spell Card, Witchcrafter's Creation, adding Witchcrafter Golem Aruru from the Deck to the hand..."
"Naturally, I can also activate the tailor's effect again—Special Summon a LV 6 or lower Witchcrafter Monster from the Deck. Come, let me see how your magic training has progressed, Gemstone~"
Witchcrafter Artisan·Gemstone Witch, LV 5, Light Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 2000.
A series of dazzling magical displays unfolded before their eyes, and the spirits watching felt utterly amazed.
One Monster, activating three effects, including recovery, destruction, and support, not only managed to handle Tenjo Hikari's field, but also—its effect can similarly activate during the opponent's turn for support!
With this, a direct attack will secure victory!
"Then, I'll perform some magic of my own."
?
Sanderion didn't understand what that meant.
"During your Main Phase, I activate this card's effect. Edge Imp Scythe!"
What is that?
The surrounding people looked at each other, not comprehending Tenjo Hikari's actions.
Why suddenly reveal a Monster at this moment?
"During the opponent's Main Phase, show this card from your hand and activate. From your hand or field, send the Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Frightfur Fusion Monster Card, including this card, to the Graveyard and Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster!"
"What?"
"Direct hand fusion!!"
"And on the opponent's turn—"
A sizzling sound, a giant scythe spun down from the sky, and behind Tenjo Hikari, a gigantic squid figure suddenly appeared.
That was no ordinary squid.
It's an Earthbound Immortal!
During this period, Tenjo Hikari hadn't been idle, and since the dimension of Frightfurs had been altered by Tierra for "Reincarnation," Tenjo Hikari naturally had to leverage his advantage.
Though not a direct reincarnation, it could disguise itself as an outsider.
"The Fusion Conditions are an Edge Imp Monster and a Fluffal."
Tenjo Hikari revealed the second card: "Fusing Penguin and Scythe—Fusion Summon!"
"Frightfur Kraken!"
A monstrously oversized squid toy appeared behind Tenjo Hikari, and then, with a few soft pops, the scythe pierced through its body, transforming into tentacles and dropping to the ground.
Frightfur Kraken, LV 8, Water Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2200.
"Penguin's effect, draw two cards, discard one card." Tenjo Hikari adjusted his hand once again.
...
Sanderion looked at this Monster and then turned to Tenjo Hikari.
Is this toy even legal?
But besides the quip, it still had to focus on the Duel.
ATK 2200, DEF 3000, huh?
It hesitated for a moment, then decided to attack: "Battle—attack with the tailor."
Even if it was in Defense Position, it had decided to attack; surely, it couldn't leave that eerie Monster alone, right?
This obviously wasn't any ordinary Monster!
"Before that, activate Trap Card, Magical Hats."
"During the opponent's Battle Phase, choose 2 Spell and Trap Cards from your Deck, and regard those two Monsters as Normal Monsters, and face-down Defense Position mix them with one Monster in your Main Monster Zone and then set. Cards Special Summoned by this effect cannot exist outside of Battle Phase and are destroyed at the end of the Battle Phase."
Tenjo Hikari brought out Metalfoes Fusion and Fusion Substitute sent to the Graveyard in the previous turn from the Deck, and set them on the field. At the same time, the Frightfur Monster also hid among the cards.
