"My turn."
Swish——
Yusei drew a card.
Since he hadn't lost any Life Points, his speed remained on par with Kiryu.
However, when he saw the card he drew, he pursed his lips slightly.
He placed the card in the card zone on his left hand, positioning it in the hand card area.
"When the opponent controls a monster and you have none, this card can be Special Summoned as a 4-Star Monster!"
"Level Warrior!"
A monster resembling the Red Warrior of the team jumped onto the field, with a pentagram drawn on its head. Upon its appearance, the star on its face shimmered, projecting an additional star on its forehead.
Level Warrior, LV 3, Light Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 300.
Level Warrior, LV 3→4.
"Then, Normal Summon, Bri Synchron!"
A green robot appeared on Yusei's field.
Bri Synchron, LV 4, Light Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK 1600.
"Tune LV 4 Bri Synchron with LV 4 Level Warrior!"
"Rip through the fleeting light of the Star Sea! Let the pulse of the soul thunder in the world!!
Synchro Summon!!
Stardust Spark Dragon!"
A burst of light illuminated the dark track, and Stardust Dragon appeared once more, only this Stardust Dragon looked more sacred and radiant.
Stardust Spark Dragon, LV 8, Light Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 2500.
"Bri Synchron, when used as Synchro Material to summon a Synchro Monster, increases its ATK by 600 points until the end of the turn, and negates its effect."
"2500 plus 600, its ATK reaches 3100!"
Stardust Spark Dragon, ATK: 2500→3100.
"Battle! Stardust attacks your Infernity Doom Archfiend!"
Stardust spun around, transforming into a golden whirlwind, thrusting towards the Archfiend. Kiryu just smiled, not activating any cards.
Actually, he had no card to activate now.
The next second, Stardust Dragon pierced through the Archfiend, then flipped Kiryu over, crashing him into the nearby purple flames.
The flames burned his soul, but he did not scream in pain. Instead, he laughed again: "Hahaha, so good, so wonderful, this is the feeling of battle! Yusei! You were the first to deal damage, well done, hahaha—"
Kiryu, LP: 4000→3100.
Yusei frowned, looking at the cards on his left side, setting a card: "Set a card, end turn."
"My turn, draw!"
"Heh... Such bad luck, Yusei." Kiryu grinned as he looked at the card he drew, "Activate Continuous Spell Card, Infernity Launcher!"
A cannon barrel was erected on his D-wheel, aimed at himself.
"As long as this card exists on the field, once per turn, I can send an Infernity Monster from my hand to the Graveyard during the Main Phase."
"Discard a hand card?" Crow frowned.
"...I see," Jack understood, "Infernity's effects always activate when the hand is empty, this card is a spell card that maximizes Infernity's power."
"Not only that, Jack~" Kiryu smiled strangely, "Another effect of Infernity Launcher: When my hand is empty, I can send this face-up card in the Spell and Trap Zone to the Graveyard to Special Summon up to 2 Infernity Monsters from my Graveyard."
!
"What?"
"So strong!"
"What an amazing card—"
Bear in mind, the renowned Monster Reborn can only revive one monster.
This card can summon two at once, and more importantly, the summoned monsters retain their effects!
"Send Infernity Launcher to the Graveyard, resurrect Infernity Sage and Infernity Doom Archfiend from the Graveyard."
"Activate the effect of Infernity Doom Archfiend, negate your Stardust's effect!"
"Then I activate Stardust's effect, once per turn, select one face-up card on my field, that card is unaffected by effects and battle destruction. This effect can be activated during the opponent's turn as well."
"Ha—Then I activate Trap Card Infernity Suppression!"
Kiryu sneered: "When I control an Infernity Monster and the opponent activates a monster's effect, negate that effect. Then, inflict damage to the opponent equal to that monster's Level x100 points."
"A card not activated last turn… Indeed, last turn Yusei activated Stardust's effect just to be safe, but this turn, if Stardust doesn't go through, there's no way to protect itself."
"Activate Trap Card!" Unexpectedly, while Kiryu was laughing wildly, Yusei suddenly flipped open the Set Card, "Counter Trap, Damage Polarizer!"
"Activate when an effect inflicting damage is activated. Negate that activation and effect, then both players draw 1 card!"
"Tsk..."
A shield of light emerged before Stardust, splitting the flames and halting their onslaught.
"Beautiful!" Crow exclaimed in surprise.
"Damage Polarizer! Brilliant indeed." Jack couldn't help but say.
"Huh? What's with Damage Polarizer?" Carly asked in confusion.
"At this point, Yusei must have realized that the strongest moment for Kiryu's Infernity Deck is when the hand is empty. Only at that moment can Kiryu's monsters, spells, and traps unleash their strongest effects. And Damage Polarizer not only blocked the damage but also forced both players to draw a card. Truly befitting of Yusei."
Jack evaluated.
"Tsk..." Seeing his trap negated, Kiryu was at a loss.
Thus, both players had to draw cards simultaneously.
Kiryu took a glance.
Tsk...
Infernity Destroyer, huh?
Dang.
Yusei also drew a card and glanced at it.
Good.
"Since I can't destroy with effects, let's battle!" Although Kiryu was a bit disappointed, he didn't feel regretful and laughed heartily.
