"Hey, kid," someone immediately corrected, "haven't you heard of the name 'Five-Headed Dragon'?"
The bystanders thought little Judai's words were absurd—Five-Headed Dragon is a legendary Monster, how could it be anything like trash that's not even comparable to a wall?
Five thousand attack points! A full five thousand!
Such terrifying attack power!
Little Judai had a confused expression.
But that's exactly what Youyu-sensei said, isn't it just trash not even comparable to a wall?
"According to 'Future Fusion's effect."
The black-clothed man's tone was icy as five cards emerged one by one from the Card Deck on the Duel Disc.
"The Fusion Material for 'Five-Headed Dragon' is five Dragon-Type Monsters, so I'll send any five Dragon-Type Monsters from my Card Deck to the Graveyard." He spoke slowly, showing Youyu the five cards.
"I send 'Red-Eyes Wyvern, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, White Night Dragon, Darkblaze Dragon, and Prime Material Dragon' to the Graveyard for their Fusion after two turns.
On the second of my subsequent Standby Phases, 'Five-Headed Dragon' will be Special Summoned."
Youyu was surprised for a moment again as he saw the five cards he threw down.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon?
Although it's not as rare as President Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, of which there are only a few in the world, it's still a USR-level Super Rare Card. In the entire DM anime, only Lyuzakii had one, but he lost it to Jonouchi during the Duelist Kingdom arc, and it became Jonouchi's Card Deck ace card afterward.
This guy... does he also have a Red-Eyes Black Dragon?
Who is he?
"Magic Card 'Pot of Greed,' draw two cards." The black-clothed man drew two cards, quickly revealing one of them, "'Troop Dragon,' in Attack Position."
A dragon with green scales, covered in armor, stepped onto the field, holding a silver-white long sword in one hand and a shield shining like a mirror in the other.
[Troop Dragon, 700]
"Remove the 'Troop Dragon' on the field from play." He raised his arm, lifting a card high in his hand, "Special Summon from the hand—
—Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, appear!"
Troop Dragon was swallowed by a dimensional vortex, releasing a mass of darkness. A pair of dark red eyes lit up from the darkness, and the black iron metal wings sliced through the darkness.
A majestic black dragon flew out of the darkness, its body covered in red markings, encased in a layer of pitch-black armor. It extended its wings, looking down dominantly, the dragon's curves and sharp metal combined perfectly, exuding an overpowering sense of beauty and strength.
[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Attack Power 2800]
Youyu was once again caught off guard.
Even has Darkness Metal Dragon?
Darkness Metal Dragon, not only as a rare item in the anime world's Red-Eyes lineage but also a big boss in real-life card decks, being easy to summon, having strong effects, and high versatility, considered a staple powerhouse in Dragon-Type decks.
Looks like this Duelist indeed has quite the background.
So if he were to take this guy's card deck, wouldn't it be a steal? (crossed out)
"The effect of Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon," the black-clothed man continued, "Once per turn, choose a Dragon-Type Monster from your hand or Graveyard for a Special Summon.
I Special Summon 'Prime Material Dragon' from the Graveyard."
Darkness Metal Dragon's red eyes flickered briefly, and it flapped its wings, dominantly releasing the realm of the Dragon King. It was the ultimate strength, capable of rewriting even life and death.
A black vortex opened on the ground, and a brand new dragon flew out from within. It had a noble golden body, red eyes, and a trailing long tail that swayed back and forth.
...It didn't quite look like a dragon, but more like a certain nine-tailed fox.
[Prime Material Dragon, Attack Power 2400]
The black-clothed man continued, "Activate from the hand Magic Card 'Return of the Dragon Lords,' Special Summon a Level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type Monster from the Graveyard.
I Special Summon 'White Night Dragon' from the Graveyard!"
A snowstorm whipped up as a dragon that seemed frozen solid, as clear as an ice sculpture, leaped out. Its wings, covered with thick ice crystals, flapped continuously, the long tail cast down ice shards, which glimmered and scattered on the ground.
[White Night Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"Effect of 'Neo Kaiser Glider' in the hand," the black-clothed man continued, revealing a card from his hand, "Discard this card and another Monster Card, then revive a Normal Monster from the Dragon-Type in the Graveyard."
He sent two cards from his hand to the Graveyard, a mass of black and red fog erupted from the Graveyard zone on his Duel Disc, and what popped out was that prestigious rare dragon right up there with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
"Emerge from the Graveyard." The black-clothed man slapped the card onto the Duel Disc, "Red-Eyes Black Dragon!!!"
Darkness erupted from his feet like a pillar of magma. The majestic dragon was covered with pitch-black scales, a powerful tail struck the ground creating cracks, its fierce dark red pupils seemed to have magma rolling within.
Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Summon!
[Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Attack Power 2400]
"Wow! This guy is amazing!" Little Judai widened his eyes, "So many powerful Dragon-Types right off the bat!"
The bystanders around were even more speechless; these hometown Duelists had never seen such an exaggerated spectacle. They were momentarily stunned, their tongues tied, unable to utter a word.
Four high-level Monsters pop out in the opening move!
Such a thing had never even been heard of!
"Not bad," Youyu nodded slightly.
Even though these dragons were top-tier Rare Cards in this world, Youyu was quite familiar with them.
White Night Dragon, when the opposing player chooses another of your Monsters as an attack target, you can send a Magic Trap Card on your field to the Graveyard to redirect the attack to this card.
Moreover, when White Night Dragon is targeted by a Magic Trap Card's effect, it can negate and destroy that card.
With 3000 attack points, it has a certain resistance to Magic Traps and offers protection for other Monsters, indeed a pretty good choice among Dragon-Types.
Another troublesome one is 'Prime Material Dragon.' Prime Material Dragon can negate and destroy effects involving "destroy effects on the field" by discarding a hand card, effectively casting a protective shell over your entire field.
...Of course, this level of challenge is still not enough to trouble Youyu.
"My turn!"
Youyu directly drew two cards.
"Summon 'Elemental Hero Solidman'!"
[Elemental Hero Solidman, Attack Power 1300]
"Solidman's effect," he said, "upon a successful summon, Special Summon another Level 4 or lower 'Hero' Monster from my hand.
Special Summon 'Elemental Hero Blazeman'!"
[Elemental Hero Blazeman, Attack Power 1200]
"Blazeman's effect, upon summoning, add a 'Fusion' Magic Card from the Card Deck to the hand." Youyu said, "I add the Magic Card 'Fusion Substitute' to my hand.
Then activate the Magic Card 'Fusion Substitute'! Fusion 'Elemental Hero Blazeman' on the field with the Earth Attribute 'Elemental Hero Solidman'!
Fusion requirement, one Elemental Hero plus any Earth Attribute Monster! Fusion Summon—
—Elemental Hero Gaia!"
The fusion of elements, a heavy steel black shadow descended, its massive body resembling a black steel fortress!
[Elemental Hero Gaia, Attack Power 2200]
"Gaia's effect," Youyu said, "upon Fusion Summon, target one Monster on the opponent's field, halve its attack until the end of the turn, and add that value to its own attack points.
The target I choose is White Night Dragon!"
White Night Dragon's resistance is only effective against Magic Trap Cards, helpless against Monster Effects.
The black hero raised its steel heavy fist, pounding furiously on the spot.
Gaia Shock!
