Oh—there's a Raidraptor Duelist here too...
No way!
Brother!?
Worried, she accelerated instantly, completely throwing aside her usual composure, and ran as fast as she could, startling the two young girls beside her, who hurriedly pursued.
Meanwhile, the duel continued.
Kurosaki Shun voiced his deeper thoughts: "Even if everything you say is true, so what!
I am a Duelist of the Xyz Dimension, a warrior of the resistance, and I cannot lose to any Fusion Dimension Duelist! This is our—honor!"
"Pay half of your Life Points!!"
Kurosaki Shun, LP: 4000→2000.
His soul, his strength, began to disintegrate under the mad strain, the pain gut-wrenching. If it were any other person, an ordinary person might faint instantly, and even a strong Duelist could hardly hold onto anything under such pain.
But Kurosaki Shun was not affected in the slightest by the pain, only the huge "R" symbolizing the banner of resistance behind him seemed to resemble Tenjo Hikari now.
"Target 1 Raidraptor Xyz Monster in your Graveyard to activate. Special Summon that monster, and overlay 1 Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck with 2 ranks higher than it on top for an Xyz Summon!
I will resurrect Assault Owl, then—
Rank-Up!"
"Proud falcons, spread your wings stained red by the heroic tide of blood, and march fearlessly on the road of revolution!
Rank up, Xyz Summon!
Appear, Rank 6, Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon!"
Ka-chunk, ka-chunk, ka-chunk—
Countless barrels loaded, a massive mechanical Winged Beast hovered behind Kurosaki Shun like a floating bomber, coldly staring at its enemy.
Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon, Rank 6, Dark Attribute, Winged Beast-Type, Attack Power 2000, Xyz Material 1.
Revolution Falcon.
Tenjo Hikari looked at this famous monster, unable to help but nod inwardly.
Cool, very cool.
Not for nothing, was a new form card even made because it was so cool.
"Revolution Falcon's effect!" Kurosaki Shun pointed at Metalfoes Superman, "Once per turn, if this card has a Raidraptor Xyz Monster as Xyz Material: target 1 monster your opponent controls, destroy that monster, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half its attack!"
"Destroy Metalfoes Superman!"
Revolution Falcon slowly rose, its wings began to spread, then flew toward Tenjo Hikari's field, dropping explosives.
Boom boom boom!
Within seconds, Metalfoes Superman on Tenjo Hikari's field was completely shattered.
The aftermath of the airstrike also hit Tenjo Hikari, but Tenjo Hikari didn't dodge, directly facing Kurosaki Shun.
Tenjo Hikari LP: 4000→2750.
"With this, just attack directly and you've lost—"
"Naive."
?!
"Effect of Teleport Fusion in the Graveyard activates!" Tenjo Hikari raised his hand and shouted, "When a Psychic-Type monster Special Summoned in face-up from the Extra Deck is destroyed by battle or card effect, banish this card from the Graveyard and target 1 banished Psychic-Type monster. Special Summon that monster!"
Kurosaki Shun's pupils narrowed.
The banished card is—
"Special Summon, LV 8, Metalfoes Orichalc!"
Metalfoes Orichalc, LV 8, Fire Attribute, Psychic-Type, DEF 2200.
"Again...Defense Position?"
"Naturally."
Tenjo Hikari casually raised his hand and said, "I've said it since the beginning."
"Of course, I don't hate Duelists who fight for their honor like you. But dueling should follow your own thoughts and beliefs, right?"
"...Then I'll make you fight seriously!"
"You should be aware of Orichalc's effect, right? Its effect can be used as you please."
"What difference does it make! Facing strong opponents, do we just retreat!? Revolution Falcon's effect, discard 1 Xyz Material, this turn, it can attack all your opponent's monsters once each, attack Orichalc—activate Revolution Falcon's effect! When this card and a Special Summoned monster battles, activate during the start of the Damage Step. That monster's ATK and DEF become 0!"
Though Orichalcos is a legendary metal, facing Revolution Falcon's air strike, it had no choice but to be crushed into disappearance.
Kurosaki Shun silently clenched his fist.
When Orichalc is sent from the Field to the Graveyard, it can target 1 card on the field to destroy. And at this moment, he still had Exotic Falcon that could attack.
Any Duelist at this moment wouldn't let the opportunity slip, destroying Exotic Falcon to reduce the damage you take.
Once Tenjo Hikari does this, he can resurrect the once-discarded Assault Owl to return preparations!
But—
"Orichalc's effect, destroy Revolution Falcon."
!!!
"You bastard, are you looking down on me, trying to ease the pressure on me?"
"No—" Tenjo Hikari immediately interrupted, his eyes seemingly flashing purple light, staring into Kurosaki Shun's eyes.
This time, the stare made Kurosaki Shun, for the first time genuinely, feel pressure from Tenjo Hikari as a [person].
"Who do you think I am? I am the Fusion Duelist pursuing ultimate Fusion, the Fusion Master you call the strongest, do you think the strongest Fusion Master, a professional Fusion Master of your so-called criminal Duel Dimension, would be so foolish!?
