"Fluffal Owl."
The owl was ensnared by blood chains, screeching heartbreakingly as it was dragged onto the field.
Fluffal Owl, LV 2, Earth Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 1000.
"The effect of the chain allows me to add 'Frightfur Reborn' from the deck to my hand, and the effect of the owl adds 'Polymerization' from the deck to my hand."
Now all the Polymerizations in the deck were in hand.
But he didn't mind, because he was about to win!
"Activate the effect of 'Edge Imp Sabres' in the Graveyard; if this card is in the Graveyard, place a card from hand back on top of the deck. Special Summon this card in Defense Position. I return 'Polymerization' from my hand to the top of the deck. Special Summon Edge Imp!"
"Then, activate the Spell Card, 'Polymerization.'
Burns picked up 'Polymerization' from his hand, choosing the materials from the field.
"I'll fuse Sabres and Owl, Fusion Summon again—Frightfur Tiger!"
Tenjo Hikari stroked his chin thoughtfully.
It seemed he was lacking Fluffals.
He looked to the side.
Indeed, most Frightfur spirits were injured, but the Fluffal monsters had been well-protected.
The bear, most severely injured and torn to pieces, had been hidden in the factory's production line and sent to the Sanctuary.
"Tiger's effect destroys cards on your field equal to the number of Fusion Materials. I choose your two monsters."
Neither the Fire Attribute monster nor Nephilim could remain on the field, so they had to be destroyed.
"This way, I can attack directly—"
He had won!
"Activate the Set Card! Continuous Trap, 'Shaddoll Schism!'"
Tenjo Hikari waved a hand: "The effect of 'Shaddoll Schism' allows me to banish Fusion Material from the Graveyard for a Fusion Summon of a Shaddoll Monster. If there is a monster on the opponent's field with the same Attribute as the Fusion Monster, it can be sent to the Graveyard. I banish Shaddoll Beast and El Shaddoll Nephilim from the Graveyard—"
"Listen!" Tenjo Hikari slowly placed a card from the Extra Deck onto the field, "Voice of God, words of God, understand and analyze, this divine command! Fusion Summon! Descend! El Shaddoll Winda!"
Winda's long green hair fluttered in the air. Some naive spirits cheered for the "Lord God" to descend, but more advanced spirits, recognizing the difference between Tierra and Winda, quickly halted them.
Though they appeared the same, they were different.
El Shaddoll Winda, LV 5, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 2200.
"Because it's Dark Attribute, I can choose your Dark Attribute monster to send to the Graveyard—I choose, oh, Frightfur Tiger."
!??
The blood-red chains on the tiger were shattered by countless Purple Puppet Strings, and in its moment of surprise, it entered the grave, falling into eternal slumber.
"Not choosing the Draconic Vampire?"
"Of course not, since it's in Attack Position."
If it were in Defense Position, effort would be required for piercing damage, but in Attack Position, there's no need to worry.
Even at 2400 ATK, it's uncertain if it can withstand several rounds of monster attacks!
Even if it won't be destroyed by battle, it's still very risky!
Moreover, Tenjo Hikari still had "Ah Lai," which could increase the Fusion Monster's ATK by 1000 points!
Upon hearing Tenjo Hikari say it's in Attack Position, he felt annoyed and began searching for a new strategy.
"Tsk, activate the Spell Card, 'Frightfur Reborn.' He thought it unwise to wait empty-handed and activated this search card.
After all, no matter what, the Draconic Vampire was almost impossible to defeat, so there's no worry for the next round.
"This card can revive a Frightfur Monster from the Graveyard."
"Return, Frightfur Tiger."
Frightfur Tiger, LV 6, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 1900.
"As long as this card is on the field, Frightfur ATK increases by the number of Frightfur and Fluffals on the field ×300 points."
Tiger, ATK: 1900→2200.
He was very angry.
If not for 'Shaddoll Schism,' he would've won by now.
After all, with two Tigers, the ATK was more than enough, without worrying about "Ah Lai."
Now...
"Draconic Vampire's effect, cover your Winda on the field."
Draconic Vampire, Xyz Material: 1→0.
"Eh—" Little bear lamented.
"Battle! Attack your Set Monster with Frightfur Tiger—"
Boom!
Winda just flipped up, and it was snipped by the scissors, which made Tierra's expression darken.
Because she heard the bear's more disappointed cry.
"Winda's effect, if this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can return a Shaddoll card from the Graveyard to my hand."
"Then Draconic Vampire attacks the opponent directly!"
Draconic Vampire leapt into the air, swirling for a long time, and locked onto Tenjo Hikari fiercely before rushing at his throat. Tierra casually slapped, sending the Draconic Vampire crashing to the ground, causing the previously disappointed young spirits to exclaim.
"Wow—"
Nonetheless, she could block the Draconic Vampire from sucking Tenjo Hikari's blood, but she couldn't prevent him from taking battle damage.
A flap of its wings unleashed wind blades at Tenjo Hikari, tearing open his uniform, and opening wounds on his body that started to bleed slowly.
Tenjo Hikari LP: 4000→1600.
He could feel the Draconic Vampire's greedy gaze, yet remained unfazed, patting his clothes and saying: "No pain, no itch."
