"Chimera Overload Dragon can attack up to the number of Fusion Materials used during the Battle Phase in one turn," Yugen said. "I just used eight Fusion Materials for that Fusion."
"Therefore, this turn, Chimera Overload Dragon can attack eight times."
Repack's face twitched.
With 6400 Attack Power, able to attack eight times in one turn...
Is this the legendary pure force of the electronic wave? No wonder it's so renowned. Even a split-second lapse in attention could result in being obliterated without a trace.
However...
"Because 'Electronic Load Fusion' is a Speed Attack Magic, activated during the Battle Phase, and summoning Chimera Overload Dragon also occurred in the Battle Phase, of course, this turn it hasn't attacked yet."
Yugen snapped his fingers.
"Battle. Use Chimera Overload Dragon to attack Nuclear Demon Valafar."
The fortress emitted a low roar, and all dragon heads opened simultaneously. Flames churned in the mechanized mouths, with bright light accompanied by thunderous electric flashes, erupting like surging beams.
Forget about eight attacks; even Repack couldn't withstand just one. With 6400 Attack Power, one touch and he would be vaporized.
Pegasus Moonwalker added, "His backfield has been cleared by Chimeric Rampage Dragon, and his Life Points are 2400... it's over."
The members of the Illusion Association beside him nodded, looking at Yugen with both awe and respect in their eyes.
Clearing the backfield completely dismantles the opponent's defense line, then unleashing tons of output in one burst, almost guaranteeing an absolute OTK...
If anyone previously thought the Duel King only relied on tricks and mind games, they were gravely mistaken.
He traps because he enjoys it, not because that's all he can do.
Even in direct frontal assault and fast-push, the King remains the King, representing the pinnacle of power in this world.
"However..."
Repack shouted, pulling out a card from his hand.
"Activate Trap Card from the hand!"
The entire audience was shocked.
Activating from the hand...!?
"Oh? Traps destroyed by Chimeric Rampage Dragon just now?" Yugen said calmly.
"Indeed," Repack replied, "among the traps destroyed by Chimeric Rampage Dragon was this card, 'Cross Counterattack Trap.' When this card is destroyed, I have one opportunity to activate a Trap Card from my hand." (Original Card)
Repack revealed the Trap in his hand.
"And what I want to activate is this... Trap Card 'Trap in the Darkness'!" Repack declared. "When Life Points are below 3000, pay 1000 Life Points to gain the effect of a Trap Card in the Graveyard and banish that Trap from the game!"
The spectators were all taken aback.
Destroying a Trap to trigger a hand Trap, then copying a Graveyard Trap...
What kind of trap chain is this?
[Repack, LP2400 → LP1400]
Yugen nodded: "Another Trap destroyed by Chimeric Fortress Dragon?"
"Precisely," Repack pulled out another Trap Card from the Graveyard and said, "The other Trap is the Trap Card 'Sand Shield - Dust Power'!
When an opponent declares an attack, all attack position monsters on the opponent's field are changed to defense position!
Monsters changed by this effect cannot change their battle position!"
The storm of sand whirled up, the surging dust forming a hemispherical shield. The violent attack slammed into the shield, and the currents and flames were instantly nullified, triggering a strong backlash of a terrifying sandstorm.
"Chimera Overload Dragon switches to face-down defense position!" Repack laughed heartily, "and through this effect transformation, it cannot voluntarily change positions!"
"Oh, that's quite troublesome," Yugen chuckled.
The onlookers held their breath.
"To think even such a foolproof wave was defended against..." someone remarked.
Moonwalker crossed his arms, saying with interest, "Yeah, it looks like this opponent isn't ordinary... Well, this level is expected."
If not capable of this level, how could he dare challenge the Duel King?
This defense was indeed at its limit; even the slightest mistake would have resulted in being shattered by Chimera Overload Dragon, or maybe even a seven-hit follow-up, paying homage to the iconic Insect Moth scene...
"The attack didn't go through, what a pity," Yugen said. "Then I'll activate the Magic Card 'Burial Spell Treasure Scroll.' By banishing three Magic Cards from the Graveyard, I can draw two cards." (Original Card)
The images of three Magic Cards emerged, turning into golden sparks and dissipating.
"I banish the Magic Cards 'Power Combination,' 'Fusion Dispel,' and 'Pot of Greed' from the Graveyard. Draw two cards."
Yugen drew two more cards, pondering.
"Then, I'll set two cards face-down on the field and end the turn."
At this moment, Repack's dissatisfaction with the Duel King adapting his style to counter him had completely evaporated. He now understood that the King wasn't the King because of a specific style, but simply because he was the King.
No matter what tactics or Card Deck used, he wasn't in a position to underestimate. A single moment of carelessness could lead to his downfall.
So he had to give it his all as well.
"My turn, draw!"
Repack shouted.
"In the Draw Phase, the effect of 'Nuclear Beast's Steel Core' in the Graveyard activates.
While this card is in the Graveyard, during my Draw Phase, I can send one 'Nuclear' monster from my hand to the Graveyard to add this card from the Graveyard to my hand."
The Graveyard in his Duel Disc glowed, and he drew a green Magic Card into his hand.
"Discard a Nuclear Monster from the hand to retrieve the Magic Card 'Nuclear Beast's Steel Core' from the Graveyard."
"Then activate the Magic Card 'Pot of Magic Book,' both players draw three cards from their Card Decks."
He said, drawing from the Card Deck, and Yugen also complied by drawing cards.
Repack paused, squinting at the face-down cards in Yugen's front field, and hummed.
"Chimera Overload Dragon, even covered by the power of Sand Shield, is still a dangerous entity. It looks like it's pretty much the ace of your Card Deck?" Repack chuckled.
"Then let me dispose of it here."
"I activate the Magic Card 'Eradicator Apostle'! Destroy one face-down Monster and banish from the game.
If that Monster is a flip Effect Monster, all cards with the same name in both players' Card Decks are banished from the game... though we know yours isn't a flip effect, so this effect won't be used."
He chuckled, pointing at the cards covering Yugen's front field.
"Then Chimera Overload Dragon, be banished from the game."
The erasing sword slashed through the air, cleaving open the covered Monster. The image of Chimera Overload Dragon flickered briefly before vanishing in the golden glow.
