# Chapter 94: Dragon Armored Utopia Ray
The returned Number 16: Shock Master once again emitted dazzling light, attempting to lockdown another Set Card on Yuri's Backrow.
"Then, Trap Card, Activate Waboku!" Yuri followed up with a Chain. If it wasn't used now, once Number 16: Shock Master's Effect activated, this card set on the Backrow would be no different from scrap paper.
"This Turn, my Monsters cannot be Destroyed by Battle, and any battle Damage I take becomes 0."
"Continuous Spell, Activate Xyz Change Tactics!"
"Next, Activate Rank-Up-Magic Zexal Power! Target 1 Xyz Monster on my Field; Special Summon 1 'Utopia' Monster or 'Zexal Weapon' Monster that is 1 Rank higher than that monster, from your Extra Deck, by overlaying it on top of the targeted monster as an Xyz Summon. Then, choose 1 'Zexal Weapon' Monster or 'Zexal Servant' Monster from your Deck and place it on top of your Deck."
"Warrior of Hope! Descend, equipped with the Dragon King Armor forged from Bonds! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Rank 5! Dragon Armored Fusion · Dragon King Utopia Ray!"
Amidst the star river formed by the Rank-Up-Magic, after Utopia Ray slowly descended, accompanied by a clear dragon's roar, a Red Dragon flew out from behind, transforming into armor and equipping itself onto Utopia Ray's body.
Dragon Armored Fusion · Dragon King Utopia Ray DEF: 2000
"Next, by the Effect of Rank-Up-Magic Zexal Power, I place Zexal Weapon - Divine Wind Dragon Blade from my Deck on top of my Deck."
"Continuous Spell, Xyz Change Tactics's Effect Activate! When a 'Utopia' Monster is Xyz Summoned on my Field, I pay 500 Life Points, and Draw 1 Card from my Deck."
Yūga Hōzumi LP: 4000 → 3500
"In my Hand, Zexal Weapon - Divine Wind Dragon Blade's Effect Activate! Target 1 'Utopia' Monster on my Field; Equip this card from my Hand or Field to that 'Utopia' Monster as an Equip Card that Increases its Attack Points by 1300."
"Next, Dragon Armored Fusion · Dragon King Utopia Ray's Effect: Once per turn, when this card is targeted by an Effect or selected as an Attack Target, you can choose 1 'Zexal Weapon' Monster from your Hand or Deck and equip it to this card as an Equip Card for that Effect."
"Equip Zexal Weapon - Tigris Swords from my Deck to Dragon King Utopia Ray!"
Dragon Armored Fusion · Dragon King Utopia Ray Attack Points: 2500 → 3800 → 5000
"Dragon Armored Fusion · Dragon King Utopia Ray's Effect Activate! Once per turn, Detach 1 Overlay Material from this card; Target Face-up Position Cards on your Opponent's Field, up to the number of 'Zexal Weapon' Monster Cards equipped to this card, and Negate their Effects."
Dragon King Utopia Ray swung its Long Sword, and two Red Dragons flew out from it, coiling around Yuri's Backrow Continuous Trap, Song of the Fiends, and the monsters on the Field.
As Song of the Fiends became ineffective, Yūga Hōzumi's two Monsters on the Field also returned to normal.
Gogogo Banchou Gagaga Coat Level: 3 → 4
Zubababa Dwarf Dododo Glove Level: 3 → 4
"Overlay the two Level 4 Monsters on the Field!"
"Oh, furious wind sweeping through the valley, become a Giant Dragon and Descend now! Clear the obstacles before me! Xyz Summon! Rank 4, Tornado Dragon!"
Tornado Dragon DEF: 2000
"Tornado Dragon's Effect Activate! Once per turn, Detach 1 Overlay Material from this card; Target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the Field, and Destroy that Card."
Yūga Hōzumi pointed at Yuri's Backrow Song of the Fiends, which was entangled by red dragon shadows. A swirling Hurricane whistled away, tearing it to shreds.
"I end my Turn." Due to Waboku's Effect, this Turn Yūga Hōzumi could neither Destroy Monsters nor inflict Damage, so he simply skipped his Battle Phase and directly ended his Turn.
"All your Monsters are in Defense Position? What are you afraid of?" Before drawing a card, Yuri said with a grin.
Yūga Hōzumi heard this, shrugged his shoulders, and bothered not to reply.
"My Turn! Draw Card!" Seeing that Yūga Hōzumi had no intention of continuing his banter, Yuri drew a card without much interest, then revealed a card from his Hand.
"Equip Spell, Activate Predaplant Graft!"
"Target 1 'Predaplant Archetype' Monster in my Graveyard; Special Summon that Monster, then Equip this card to it."
"Revive! Predaplant Byblisp!"
"Predaplant Byblisp's Effect Activate! If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, I can Send 1 Monster from my Hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 other 'Predaplant Archetype' Monster from my Deck."
"Appear! Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra!"
"If Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra is Special Summoned by the Effect of a 'Predaplant Archetype' Monster, I can Add 1 'Fusion' Spell Card from my Deck to my Hand."
"I will Add Fusion Substitute, the Spell Card treated as 'Fusion' by the rules, to my Hand."
"Spell Card, Activate Fusion Substitute! This card is treated as 'Fusion' by the rules, but can only Fusion Summon using Monsters on the Field. I Send Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra and Predaplant Byblisp from my Field to the Graveyard, Fusion Summon!"
From Yuri's Duel Disk, a Card popped out of the Extra Deck zone. Yuri picked it up and revealed it.
"You're afraid of it, aren't you?" Yuri licked his lips and laughed cruelly.
"Two enchanting Flowers that lure insects with their fragrance, now become one! From the Hell deep within those petals, give birth to a new threat! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poison Dragon with starving fangs, Level 8! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"
A hoarse dragon's roar rang out from the Vortex in front of Yuri. A moment later, the Giant Dragon with massive venomous fangs spread its purple wings and emerged from the Fusion Vortex.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon Attack Points: 2800
"When Starving Venom Fusion Dragon is Fusion Summoned using only Monsters on the Field as Material, this card's Attack Points Increase until the End of this Turn by the combined Attack Points of all Special Summoned Monsters on the Opponent's Field."
The purple Giant Dragon, covered in dual-colored gold and red Gemstones, shone with dazzling light as it swept over Yūga Hōzumi's two Monsters on the Field, and its Aura surged wildly.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon Attack Points: 2800 → 7800 → 9900
"Constant Defense is useless, you know." Yuri said, and revealed a Spell Card from his Hand.
"Spell Card, Activate Dragon's Rage! This Turn, if my Dragon-Type Monster Destroys an Opponent's Monster by Battle and Sends it to the Graveyard, inflict Damage to your Opponent equal to that Monster's Attack Points. (Manga Card)"
"Battle! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon Attack Dragon King Utopia Ray!"
Having absorbed the Power of Dragon King Utopia Ray and Tornado Dragon, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon roared, manipulating the highly poisonous Vines growing from its body as they swept towards Dragon King Utopia Ray.
