# Chapter 128: Sharp Commentary on the Warm-up Match (Part 2)
Yuya was enraged by Jack's dismissive attitude. He shot back without showing any weakness, "Don't kid me! Entertainment Duels aren't set in stone. I'll finish you this turn!"
"Keep up, if you can!" Jack said, turning his D-Wheel and speeding off ahead.
"My turn! Draw!"
"I set the Scale 1 Performapal Monkeyboard in the Pendulum Zone!"
"Performapal Monkeyboard's Pendulum Effect activates!"
"I add one Level 4 or lower Performapal monster from my deck to my hand! I add the Level 1 Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn to my hand! Next, I set this card in the Pendulum Zone!"
"Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn's scale is 8, so I can simultaneously Pendulum Summon monsters from Level 2 to 7!"
"Swing, Pendulum of Souls! Draw an arc of light across the sky! Pendulum Summon! Appear, my monsters!"
"Level 6! Performapal Le-Bellman!"
"Level 5! Performapal Landlord Hermit Crab!"
"Level 6! Performapal Sprinkling Mammoth!"
"Level 7! Dragonpit Magician!"
"And for the grand finale! The mysterious dragon with beautiful, dichromatic eyes! Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
As the pendulums within the two pillars of light in the air slowly swung, five beams of different colors descended beside Yuya.
"Incredible! Summoning five monsters at once?" the Female Commentator exclaimed in awe. "Is this Pendulum Summoning? It's even more spectacular than the performance in the park!"
However, at this moment, Yūga Hōzumi, who was watching on TV, said to Kaito, "See? If you had just put a cockroach on the field beforehand, all his monsters would be in the Graveyard by now."
Most of those present could also summon a full field of monsters, it would just take them a few more steps. Therefore, even Kiryu, Bruno, and Yugo, who had never seen Pendulum Summoning before, weren't overly surprised. Instead, it was Serena, who now had Pendulum Monsters in her deck, who exclaimed in astonishment:
"He used up his entire hand in one go? He's not leaving himself any follow-up plays?"
Just then, Jack raised his hand and activated an effect. "At this moment, Red Dragon Archfiend's effect activates!"
"If a monster is on the field with higher ATK than this card, destroy the monster on the field with the highest ATK."
Red Dragon Archfiend roared, its wings unleashing a fiery blast at Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon.
Seeing this, Yuya quickly maneuvered his D-Wheel, leaping off the guardrail by the racetrack and skillfully grabbing an Action Card from the air.
"Action Card, Evasion, activate! One monster on the field cannot be destroyed by an effect once!"
Serena: "..."
"Alright, it seems he really doesn't need any follow-up plays," Serena said helplessly.
Yuya breathed a sigh of relief as Odd-Eyes dodged destruction.
"Performapal Sprinkling Mammoth's effect activates! I send Fusion Material Monsters for a Dragon-Type Fusion Monster from my field to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck!"
"I fuse this card with Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! O Performapal who brings smiles, with the pendulum's miraculous light, dwell within the dragon's eyes! Fusion Summon!"
"Appear! Level 8! Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
A giant red dragon, its eyes shimmering with arcane runes, burst forth from the vortex behind Yuya. It let out a deafening roar at the Red Dragon Archfiend beside Jack.
"Next, Performapal Le-Bellman's effect activates! Once per turn, I declare a Level from 1 to 5 and target one other 'Performapal' monster I control! Until the End Phase, this card's Level is reduced by the declared amount, and the target's Level is increased by the same amount."
"I target Performapal Landlord Hermit Crab on the field! Its Level increases by 2!"
Performapal Landlord Hermit Crab LV: 5→7
Performapal Le-Bellman LV: 6→4
"I overlay the Level 7 Performapal Landlord Hermit Crab and Dragonpit Magician!"
"O dragon, shimmering with mysterious dichromatic light, descend with a body of ice! Xyz Summon! Rank 7! Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon!"
A glacial mass, emanating a chilling aura, slowly rose from the Stardust Vortex. A moment later, accompanied by a dragon's cry, a massive dragon encased in ice broke free.
Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon ATK: 2800
Watching this on TV, Yūga Hōzumi clicked his tongue in wonder, thinking to himself, "I already brought Yuto back to Heartland City, so where did this kid learn Xyz Summoning?"
At that moment, in a Friendship Cup contestants' room, Shun Kurosaki faced the arriving Reiji Akaba with a stern expression. "As per our agreement, I've taught him Xyz Summoning. When will the tuition of 10,000 cards be delivered?"
"How about I deliver them when the matters in this dimension are resolved and we go to reinforce Heartland City?" Reiji Akaba said, pushing up his glasses.
"Agreed," Shun Kurosaki nodded.
Just then, Reiji Akaba turned his head to look at the TV in the room, which was broadcasting the match. "However, this level of skill alone is not enough to defeat Jack Atlas."
...
"Wow! A Fusion and an Xyz Summon immediately after a Pendulum Summon! Contestant Yuya Sakaki is full of fighting spirit!" the Female Commentator exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Battle!" Yuya declared, entering the Battle Phase.
"Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, attack Red Dragon Archfiend!" Yuya pointed at the Red Dragon Archfiend before him. The arcane runes in Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's eyes began to swirl as it opened its mouth and spewed a scorching draconic flame.
"At this moment, Performapal Odd-Eyes Unicorn's Pendulum Effect activates! When my 'Odd-Eyes' monster declares an attack, I can target one other 'Performapal' monster I control! The attacking monster gains ATK equal to the original ATK of the targeted monster until the end of the Battle Phase."
"Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's ATK increases by 100, the ATK of Performapal Le-Bellman!"
Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK: 3000→3100
"It's not over yet!" Yuya said, performing another stunt on his D-Wheel and grabbing an Action Card hovering in the air.
"Action Card, High-Dive! A monster on the field gains 1000 ATK until the end of the Battle Phase!"
Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon ATK: 3100→4100
The draconic flame spewed by Rune-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, empowered by successive boosts, roared toward Red Dragon Archfiend. But Jack just scoffed, swerving his D-Wheel and reaching down to pick up an Action Card from the ground.
"Action Card, Miracle! My monster won't be destroyed by battle this one time, and the battle damage is halved!"
Jack LP: 4000→3150
"As expected of Jack! He's able to use Action Cards so skillfully in his first-ever Action Turbo Duel!" the Female Commentator praised.
