"Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth, summon!"
Thunderclouds gathered in the sky of the alternate dimension, and within the blood-red vortex in the sky, an eye seemed to open.
The sky was torn apart by lightning, and some gigantic presence manifested from within.
It was a mythological monster beyond the constraints of common sense, its twisted appearance seeming to be filled with the impulse of destruction. Its floating body resembled a suspended island, descending pale lightning upon the world.
A golden eye lit up on Sella's forehead.
It appeared to be the unique emblem of the Millennium Item.
"Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth, its attack power increases by the number of 'Cubic' monsters equipped on it x1000 points," the girl said.
In the physical card environment, Cubic monsters can only be specially summoned by sending 'Cubic Seed' on the field to the graveyard, but the effect description in the animation is more bizarre.
Here, although Sella uses the term 'equip,' it is not in the ordinary sense of Equip Magic Cards. Here she is overlapping 'Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth' on the 'Cubic Seed' card to summon.
Then 'Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth' increases its attack power by the number of monsters overlapped beneath it x1000 points.
This is Cubic's unique usage, embedding 'Vijam' as a weapon accessory into other Cubic monsters to enhance their abilities, which is original in the theatrical animation, somewhat similar to the 'Exceed Summon' in a parallel dimension in Yu-Gi-Oh.
Currently, there are three cards overlapped beneath 'Buster Gundil,' so its attack power will increase accordingly.
[Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth, Attack Power 0 → Attack Power 3000]
"Such a troublesome creature was suddenly brought out," Youyu murmured as he looked at the giant creature brandishing its claws.
In the physical card environment, the well-known 'Cubic' Deck's most deadly and primary issue is card hand shutdown.
The Cubic Deck's core strategy is to start with low-level monsters and continuously summon a chain of high-level Cubic monsters from the deck, boasting strong offensive and outstanding knockout ability.
Starting from 'Cubic Seed,' this deck can continuously summon a string of excellent hitters.
Of course, that is merely the Cubic player's sweet fantasy.
The real situation in actual matches is often drawing a hand full of cards like 'Cubic King,' 'Cubic Beast,' 'Buster Gundil,' none of which can be normally summoned, and stubbornly failing to draw Vijam, leading to a hand accident and immediate self-destruction.
Naturally, these are problems only faced by ordinary players.
For characters with stature in animations, it's naturally impossible to have issues of not drawing key cards.
Take Sella here, for example, not only did she draw the key card 'Cubic Seed' right off the bat, but extraordinarily drew three directly...
"Battle." Sella extended her finger, "'Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth,' attack 'Lemon Magician Girl'!"
Flames wrapped around the Cubic Behemoth's body, the twisted floating shell seeming to be aflame. Three pillars of fire intertwined, converging into a dazzling and scalding blaze erupting with a roar!
The petite body of the Lemon Magician Girl was instantly evaporated and obliterated, the vast fiery gust swept over Youyu.
[Youyu, LP 4000 → LP 3200]
As mentioned earlier, in dimension duels, when monsters battle, the player only suffers damage equal to the attack power of the destroyed monster. Since the Lemon Magician Girl's attack power is 800, Youyu suffers 800 points of damage accordingly.
But this is still just the beginning.
"Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth's effect," Sella slowly stated, "It can attack up to three times in one battle phase."
Go on, Cubic Behemoth, attack again. This time the target is 'Chocolate Magician Girl'!"
The gigantic Cubic Behemoth attacked again, fire pillar entwining, three fires converged into a twisted fire dragon flying out!
Chocolate Magician Girl was certainly no match for this level of monster. Her defense magic was shattered like a layer of glass in mere moments, and she herself was blown off the field.
The second wave of impact felt like facing a volcano directly. Youyu felt the scorching heat almost engulf him, the fiery air physically blocking his breath, making him struggle to stand his ground.
[Youyu, LP 3200 → LP 1600]
Chocolate Magician Girl's attack power is 1600, that is the damage value he sustains.
But it's not over yet.
Buster Gundil still holds the power of a third attack!
Although summoning this thing is a bit of a struggle, its destructive power is quite formidable when truly summoned. Attacking power with 3000 three times in succession, without restrictions on attacking directly, is rather lethal as a hitter.
"Youyu, will you become the future's guide... or will you halt here?" Sella briefly closed her eyes, soon opening them.
"Battle now. Buster Gundil the Cubic Behemoth, attack the Dark Magician Girl!"
The body of the Cubic Behemoth buzzed, flames ascended rapidly, soaring into the sky.
The Dark Magician Girl's power was certainly completely insufficient to resist the colossal Cubic Behemoth. Once the attack passes, the attack power value of Dark Magician Girl, equivalent to two thousand points of damage, will instantly recoil to Youyu, marking the end of this duel.
The blazing fire approached swiftly, the light distorting the space reflected clearly in Dark Magician Girl's clear eyes. She nervously held the Small Magic Staff in her trembling hands and cast a sidelong glance at Youyu.
Master... he should have a plan, right?
Of course, Youyu wouldn't let her down: "Flip Cover Card, Trap Card - Impenetrable Attack. Select one monster on the field, this turn it cannot be destroyed by battle or effects."
Using this effect to protect 'Dark Magician Girl' from being destroyed."
Trap effect activated, forming an invisible shield behind the magical girl to protect her. The majestic flames of the Cubic Behemoth collided with the shield, hitting a solid wall, and bounced away in all directions.
The girl, who had closed her eyes in fright, cautiously opened her eyes, her big eyes blinked, and long eyelashes fluttered.
The girl was somewhat ecstatic, her heart leaping joyously.
Did the master specially leave this trap to protect me?
Surely, I am the master's most valued ace...
"In 'Dimension Duel' only when a monster is destroyed does the duelist suffer damage," Youyu said, "If battle destruction is negated, naturally there is no damage."
"So, you left this trap for the highest attack 'Dark Magician Girl' to reduce damage?" Sella nodded, "Seems like you've quickly grasped the rules of dimension duels."
Dark Magician Girl: 0.0
Is... that so?
