Dragon-Slaying Knight - Buster Blader, Summon!
As the revered "Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon" instantly vanished under the power of a single card, the entire audience was stunned.
That was the Alternative Ultimate Dragon! A monster recognized as god-like within Duel Monsters!
Everyone's view of the person wearing the Bambi hood changed, even those who previously thought he was just a clown now showed him respect.
Hiss~ This person casually eliminating a god-level monster is truly terrifying!
However, Kaiba didn't show much reaction to his proudest card being instantly defeated, only frowned slightly, displeased.
"The effect of Dragon-Slaying Knight - Buster Blader." The expert commentator explained, "First, its attack power increases by 1000 points for each Dragon-Type on the opponent's field and in their graveyard!"
Currently, Kaiba has three Blue-Eyes White Dragons on the field and in his graveyard, plus one Alternative White Dragon, and one Alternative Ultimate White Dragon, totaling five cards.
"So Buster Blader's attack power increases by 5000!"
[Dragon-Slaying Knight - Buster Blader, ATK 2800 → ATK 7800]
The spectators were in uproar.
Attack power of seven thousand eight hundred? What does this mean!?
This person touched such monstrous attack values so easily?
But that's not all!
"Moreover, as long as 'Dragon-Slaying Knight' is on the field, all Dragon-Type monsters on the opponent's field switch to Defense Position!"
With this declaration, the Dragon Slayer Knight's power was unleashed. The mighty white sword was thrust into the ground, releasing a powerful energy that dominated the field.
The remaining Blue-Eyes White Dragon on Kaiba's field, a Dragon-Type, could not withstand the suppressing force and unwillingly assumed a defensive stance.
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000 → DEF 2500]
"What? Such a broken monster?"
"This Buster Blader is definitely Siegfried, right?"
Even Mokuba was a bit flustered, "Brother!"
The expert commentator continued, "Additionally, the effect of 'Skilled White Mage' on the field allows for a Spell Counter to be placed on it whenever a Magic Card is activated by either player.
Since this turn I've activated 'Emblem of Dragon Destroyer' and 'Buster Blader Fusion', two Spell Counters have been placed."
Sure enough, two indicator lights were already lit on the white mage's Magic Staff.
"Quick-Play Magic 'Card of Destruction', each player discards two cards from hand, then draws two cards!
At this moment, the 'Skilled White Mage' now has three Spell Counters!"
He then waved his hand.
"I sacrifice the 'Skilled White Mage' with three Spell Counters, special summoning from the deck—
—Buster Blader, Descend!"
Buster Blader, yet another card full of memories for the president. Seeing the stylish blue armor and silver-white Dragon Slaying Sword, Kaiba felt as though he was back in Duel City, during those glorious times when he faced off against Atem.
Indeed, Buster Blader is Atem's ace monster.
In fact, the entire "Buster Blade" deck system evolved from the ace cards that Atem used in the past.
[Buster Blader, ATK 2600]
"Buster Blader's effect, its attack power increases by 500 points for each Dragon-Type monster on opponent's field and in their graveyard!"
Counting the Dragons on Kaiba's field and in his graveyard, that sums to five, thus increasing by 2500!
[Buster Blader, ATK 2600 → ATK 5100]
Mokuba's face changed, "Monsters with attack power of 7800... and 5100!"
"That's not all!" The expert commentator rubbed his hands eagerly, "Dragon-Slaying Knight - Buster Blader can inflict piercing damage when attacking a defense position monster!"
Forced into defense, Blue-Eyes White Dragon's defense power is 2500, while Dragon-Slaying Knight's attack power is 7800, resulting in a damage of 5300, enough for a single blow KO!
Now the spectators truly understood the meaning of "Dragon Slayer Knight".
Heavens, he is seriously planning to eradicate the Dragon Clan!
Such terrifying strength would be insurmountable, even by "Blue-Eyes" at the peak of Dragon clan!
The spectators were getting excited.
Might Kaiba Seto truly be defeated here?
Today, they would witness history!
"Go!" The commentator shouted, "Dragon-Slaying Knight - Buster Blader, attack Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!!"
The knight raised the mighty white sword, unleashing a despairing strike! The Blue-Eyes let out a powerless cry, but even the pressure from Sword Qi alone made it unable to move, resistance was impossible against such overwhelming power.
"Activate Set Card." Kaiba calmly said, "Trap Card 'Power Wall'. When damage would be taken from opponent's attack, until damage becomes 0, send one card per 500 damage from deck to the graveyard."
Data streams transformed into cards, one after another, flowing like water out of the Duel Disc slots.
Kaiba pulled out a handful of cards all at once.
"...I send eleven cards to the graveyard, making the battle damage 0!"
Eleven cards flew in the air, disassembled into a data stream, forming together into a light blue barrier. Buster Blader shattered the White Dragon, but the sword's residual energy was entirely blocked by this barrier, unable to be moved.
This at least held off the attack.
However, these defenses caused Kaiba to throw five more Dragon-Types into the graveyard, further fueling the strength of Buster Blade.
[Dragon-Slaying Knight - Buster Blader, ATK 7800 → ATK 12800]
[Buster Blader, ATK 5100 → ATK 7600]
Seeing such explosive data on screen, the spectators were dumbfounded.
Such terrifying attack power exists?
Such overwhelming strength, even the Egyptian God "Slifer the Sky Dragon" may not be a match?
(Slifer: Say one more time, labor not a Dragon! Not a Dragon!)
Back in the original DM, Atem summoned "Dragon Slayer Knight" to fight against "Slifer the Sky Dragon", slyly saying that since Sky Dragon is a Dragon, the Dragon Slayer Knight's attack power would rise, and at the time Mr. Ma strangely accepted this setup...
However, despite the name Sky Dragon, it's actually the noble Divine Beast-Type, and shouldn't be affected by this effect.
But now Kaiba's field lays empty.
"Buster Blader," The commentator shouted, "Direct attack!"
The players held their breath, fists clenched with palms sweating.
Victory is assured!
No monsters, no Set Cards in the back row, Buster Blade's attack power is over seven thousand, this strike means victory!
Moreover, everyone knows Kaiba, the president, is an eternal enemy with Kuriboh; he's unlikely to pull a Kuriboh from his pocket.
—Could you possibly pull out a Blue-Eyes Kuriboh for me?
