Chapter 529: Too Late!
Chapter 529: Too Late! (7K monthly ticket requested!)
"My turn!"
Ryuzaki suddenly pulled a card from the deck. He glanced at the other cards in his hand and then looked at the small horned dragon.
OK, let’s use this one!
"Normal Summon, Gemmon - Operational Archdragon."
A monster made entirely of jade, which looked more like a crocodile than a dinosaur, lay on the field of Dinosaur Ryuzaki.
“Activate when this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully. Destroy 1 Dinosaur-Type monster in your hand or on the field other than this card’s name. Afterwards, add 1 Reptile-Type, Sea Dragon-Type, or Ornithological-Type monster or 1 [Evolution Potion] Spell Card of the same original Level as the destroyed monster to your hand.
I destroy the Ceratops in my hand and add Transcendence Evolution Potion β from my deck to my hand.
bang——
The little green dinosaur, with explosives tied all over its body, exploded instantly. The next second, a strange evolution medicine was spinning in the air and fell into his hands.
"Evolution medicine?"
"It looks a bit weird..."
"Haha, haha, so that's how it is. Very interesting, Ryuzaki." The old man laughed.
Beyond Evolution Potion β. The dinosaur duelist from the fusion army had also used this card. After seeing this, Mitsuru Amagi was not surprised at all that Dinosaur Ryuzaki would obtain this card.
Dino Ryuzaki ignored the people around him and shouted, "Effect of Ceratops. If this card is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, activate it. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Dinosaur-Type monster from your Deck!"
"I Special Summon the second Soul Eater Oviraptor!"
Dinosaur Ryuzaki is just a card, and he can quickly replace hand cards and special summon monsters, making the duelists around him who were previously giving orders silent. None of them dared to comment directly, but just watched the scene silently.
"By the effect of Soul Eater Oviraptor, if this card is successfully summoned, select 1 Dinosaur-Type monster from your deck and add it to your hand or send it to the Graveyard - I add the Pteranodon from my deck to my hand!"
After the microceratops, a dinosaur, also with tears streaming down its face and ready to self-destruct, appeared in his hand.
"I searched again and got a card that sounds very similar to the Ceratopsus?"
The duelists looked at each other and realized the "loop". No matter what kind of duel it is, as long as it can be looped, it shows the feasibility and reproducibility of this tactic.
Ryuzaki took the Pterosaur from the deck and glanced at his own field.
There is now a Computing Orb Beast and a Soul-Eating Egg-Stealing Dragon on his field, and in his hand there is a Pterosaur and an Evolution Potion out of thin air.
But even at this time, the dinosaur Ryuzaki has not stopped his "exploration".
"Activate a Spell Card, Ground Anomaly, and add 1 Dino-Type Tuner or Dino-Type Normal Monster from your Deck to your hand. After that, select 1 card from your hand and destroy it. I add a Dino-Type Tuner Monster, Jurassic Devil, to my hand! Then, destroy the Pteranodon in my hand."
As the fight went on, the dinosaur Ryuzaki suddenly said something shocking, scaring the countless onlookers watching the duel.
Adjustment?
"At this moment, the effect of the pterosaur is activated."
"If Wyvern is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or higher Dinosaur-Type monster from your Deck. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack this turn!"
"Still Special Summoning!?"
"real or fake--"
"Hiss, as expected of you... [Legend]."
Seeing this, the group of duelists watching could not help but nod their heads repeatedly.
This is what we call a "legend".
"I Special Summon from my deck - Zelda: Dinosaur King!"
Two-headed dragon dinosaur king, level 6, earth attribute, dinosaur family, attack power 1600.
"The two-headed dragon dinosaur king... it's the evolution of the two-headed dinosaur king, right?" Jonouchi raised his head and looked at the huge two-headed dinosaur. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. "Ryuzaki, it seems that you haven't wasted these years!"
"Oh...of course!"
The only time that Dinosaur Ryuzaki refused to admit defeat was when he was dueling with Jonouchi.
Two-headed dinosaur king.
In a real sense, these are the cards that have accompanied him throughout his life from childhood to the present.
He had used this card before when he duelled with Amagi Hikaru. He was the partner he trusted the most and whom he would never abandon.
"Activate the effect of Dino King. If this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, target 1 monster on the field with less ATK than the total ATK of all Dino-Type monsters you control. Destroy that monster!
I choose, the android - the telekinetic shocker!"
Dinosaur Ryuuzaki pointed to the field inside Jonouchi.
As long as he destroys the monsters in the city, he can fight at will.
There is only 1 monster on Jonouchi's field. As long as it is destroyed, Jonouchi will be open and can attack at will!
The duelists around him obviously realized this as well. Jonouchi didn't seem to be on guard at all, which made them realize that Jonouchi might not be able to hold out until the next round!
but--
"At this moment, I also activate the effect of the monster in my hand!"
what? !
Hand card!
Jonouchi suddenly laughed: "The effect of True Red Soul! When your opponent Special Summon a monster, send this card in your hand or field to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 True Red-Eyes monster other than True Red Soul from your hand or deck!"
Really red eyes! ?
The dinosaur Ryuzaki was suddenly stunned.
"Come on, Special Summon - Red-Eyes Drake!"
"Wow!"
A small red-eyes black dragon called out softly and flew over Jonouchi's head.
"Wow!"
"Appeared!"
"Red-Eyes Black Dragon——but why is it a juvenile?"
"Yeah, isn't there a stronger and more invincible Red-Eyes Black Dragon?"
Red-Eyes Dragonling, Level 3, Dark Attribute, Dragon Clan, Defense 700.
What a red-eyed black dragon—
Back then, in the Duel Kingdom, he dueled with Jonouchi using the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. It was also at that time that his fate with Jonouchi became completely entangled, and he lost to Jonouchi's Red-Eyes Black Dragon.
Perhaps, that was the so-called "beginning of the legend", and he was the one who started the legend within the city.
He shook his head, without any sentimentality, and looked at his hands.
"It's okay, activate the magic card! Beyond Evolution Potion β! Release 2 monsters full of Dinosaur-type monsters from your hand and field. Special Summon 1 Dinosaur-type monster with a level of 5 or higher equal to the total ATK of the released monsters from your Deck and Extra Deck!
After this card is activated, until the end phase of the turn, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck that are not Dinosaur-Type, Dragon-Type, Sea Dragon-Type, or Fantasy Dragon-Type! "
"Can it be special summoned directly from the Extra Deck?"
"What a powerful magic card!"
Jonouchi could see the huge evolution medicine that appeared on the field and couldn't help but laugh: "You mean, you are still evolving?"
"For strength, for victory, of course I will evolve—"
"I send the Zytrum Dinosaur King that can't attack and the Gemmon-Calculation Archosaur with 0 attack power to the Graveyard!"
He looked at the Dinosaur King in his hand and took a deep breath.
After the duel with Amagi Hikaru, after seeing Amagi Hikaru defeat the insect Yu Moth, and after he was told by Amagi Hikaru that he could defeat the insect Yu Moth at that time, he successively made many new changes.
For example, cooperating with the GX competition, being a star examiner, or getting to know more dinosaur elves.
At the critical point, he received help from many brand new monsters.
but--
He was still stuck.
Stuck there, with no way to move forward.
Synchronization is not a power that is easy to master, especially after leaving the critical point, it is impossible to do it even if you try.
However, the contact with Amagi Hikaru has made his stagnant pointer move forward a lot.
"Evolve to the most sublime form!"
"My real soul!"
"Two contradictory minds that have accompanied me throughout my life—"
"Special summons!"
"Level 9, Dragon King Dinosaur King!"
"Ow!!!!"
The two-headed dragon's body grew wildly, and countless spikes grew on its huge body. The originally tiny wings behind it now covered the sky and seemed to be able to protect people from wind and rain.
Dragon King Dinosaur King, Level 9, Earth Attribute, Dinosaur Tribe, Attack Power 3200.
"Dinosaur King? Roar roar roar..." Muto Sugoroku put his hands behind his back and nodded his head.
Indeed, the current dinosaur Ryuzaki does have a bit of the feeling of being the "Dinosaur King".
Regrettably--
Dinosaur Ryuzaki looked at the effect on the card.
[If this card is not Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned this turn, once per turn, you can activate this effect by targeting up to 2 monsters on your opponent's field. Destroy those monsters.]
Although it has "evolved", unfortunately, the [Dinosaur King] can only evolve to this point.
But, no problem—you can win just as well!
"Activate the equipment magic card, premature burial."
"Pay 800 Life Points, and you can activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your Graveyard. Special Summon that monster in Attack Position, and equip it with this card. When this card is destroyed, destroy that monster!"
Dinosaur Ryuki, LP: 3400→2600.
"Resurrection, the two-headed dragon dinosaur king!"
"1600+1600+3200——" Several duelists on the side immediately started discussing excitedly, "Mr. Jonouchi's health points will be reduced to zero in an instant!"
"Yeah, that monster has a higher attack power than the Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Could it be that we can see the reversal of the legend today!?"
"Too strong! As expected of a legendary duelist, he created the current situation with just one card!"
Dinosaur Ryuzaki didn't pay attention to these words. He took a deep breath, pointed at the little red-eyed man opposite him, and said, "Attack with the two-headed dragon dinosaur king!"
Peng——
The small Red-Eyes Black Dragon was destroyed in an instant.
"At this moment, activate the effect of Red-Eyes Drake. This card can only be activated when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower [Red-Eyes] monster from your Deck, and use this card in the Graveyard as an Equip Card that increases its ATK by 300, and equip it to that monster!"
"Below seven stars... Really red eyes, could it be..."
"That's right - Ryuzaki - it's it!" Jonouchi stretched out his hand directly to the card deck. In the deck, the top card turned into a stream of light and directly became a card burning with black flames and flew into his hand!
"I Special Summon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon!"
"Ow!!"
The roar of the pitch-black dragon resounded through heaven and earth!
Red-Eyes Black Dragon, level 7, dark attribute, dragon race, attack power 2400→2700!
"Wow, it really appeared, the legendary red-eyed black dragon!"
"This is the Dragon of Possibility that can be on par with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Amagi Hikaru looked on from afar.
The Dragon of Possibility?
Burning blood dragon!
but……
It has to be said that although Amagi Hikaru has seen the Red-Eyes Black Dragon several times, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon summoned by Jonouchi is more imposing and more powerful.
"…It's okay, I'll use Dinosaur King to attack your Red Eyes!"
The dinosaur flapped its wings, then pounced on Red-Eyes and bit its body, crushing it.
Within the castle, LP: 4000→3500.
"Red-Eyes is destroyed!"
"But it doesn't matter. At least this way, Mr. Jonouchi will survive—"
"Yes, as long as there is life left..."
"Hmph..." Ryuzaki suddenly laughed at Jonouchi as if he was toasting a glass, "Sorry, Jonouchi, activate this card when Dinosaur King attacks and destroys the opponent's monster. During this Battle Phase, this card can only attack once more!"
! !
"batter!?"
"At 3200 attack power, you can still combo?"
"Oh no! Mr. Jonouchi's HP is 3500! If the Dinosaur King and Oviraptor attack directly next—"
"Ha, Ryuzaki..." Jonouchi suddenly laughed, "Does this scene look familiar to you?"
?
"It was the same when the Tyrant Dragon came along, right?"
Tyrant dragon?
Jonouchi's words reminded Dinosaur Ryuzaki of this incident.
Back then, during the Doma incident, he joined Doma and used the power of the Orichalcum barrier to become stronger. He wanted to rely on Orichalcum to defeat Jonouchi. At that time, he summoned Tyrant Dragon. After destroying the Red-Eyes in battle, he used a trap card to revive the Red-Eyes, and then continued to attack with the effect of Tyrant Dragon... continued to attack and revive the Red-Eyes. Could it be that?
"Activate the effect of Red-Eyes Recursor Dragon! When a Level 7 or lower Red-Eyes on your field is destroyed by an opponent's monster attack or card effect and sent to the Graveyard. Special Summon this card from your hand in Defense Position, and Special Summon the destroyed monsters in the same position as possible!"
"And then, activate the effect of Red-Eyes Drake! If this card equipped to a monster is sent to the Graveyard, activate it. Select 1 Level 1 Dragon-Type monster from your Deck or Graveyard and add it to your hand. I choose Black Steel Dragon."
Red-Eyes Trace Dragon, level 4, dark attribute, dragon race, defense 1600.
A monster with blue light of time floating on its body appeared on the field within Jonouchi. Faintly, Dinosaur Ryuzaki seemed to see the familiar monster - the Time Magician.
The "key to victory" in the duel.
"Really, you seem to have not changed at all over the years."
Jonouchi didn't say anything polite. He just laughed, gesticulated with his hands, and made amazing, inimitable facial expressions.
"Well then, Dinosaur King, continue to attack Red-Eyes - Sorry, Red-Eyes, die for the sake of victory!"
Within the castle, LP: 3500→2700.
"The Oviraptor attacks the Traceback!"
The Oviraptor ran to the side of the Tsurukiryu, pounced on it, hit it and smashed it to pieces.
"The battle is over."
"Wow, that was close—"
"That was a close call. For a split second just now, I thought Mr. Jonouchi had already lost!"
"Mr. Jonouchi was able to withstand this strong attack with only the cards in his hand without covering them. It's amazing. He is indeed worthy of being a legend!"
Muto Sugoroku looked at the dinosaur Ryuuzaki and nodded continuously.
For people of his age, what they like most is probably to see the prodigal son return.
After missing the attack, Ryuzaki looked at the Dinosaur King.
In the next round, the Dinosaur King will gain full power, and then he can easily destroy all the monsters in the city.
but.
Just in case, we still have to survive the next round.
"The effect of the Oviraptor Dragon destroys the Two-Headed Dragon King and resurrects the Small Horned Dragon in the Graveyard in Defense Position."
The little horned dragon appeared again with tears in his eyes.
"Then, I cover the next card, ending the turn."
The Trap Cards he covered were the "Jurassic" monsters he subsequently obtained, giving him the power - Jurassic Shock. This can only be activated when there is a Dinosaur-type monster with an attack power of 2500 or more on your field. All cards on the field are destroyed.
If you have a Ceratops, this card should be quite good.
Even if Jonouchi summons a monster that can defeat the Dragon King and Dinosaur King, it will be destroyed directly.
"That's great, Ryuzaki."
?
He looked towards the city.
Jonouchi rubbed his hair and said, "Mai said that it would be hard for me to have a conversation with you, but it should be possible for me to duel with you."
"After you were devoured by the power of Olihagang, I vowed to rescue your souls from Olihagang. Although our relationship has become increasingly worse since then, I never expected that we would not be in touch for so long."
He frowned and crossed his arms and said, "I was a little worried because I really don't understand those things, so I wanted to perform like the master, using the cards I got from others, such as the android, the legendary fisherman, the real red-eyes, and the insect queen, which are the symbols of my bond and friendship with you.
But...it seems like you've already taken your first steps."
These words struck directly into the heart of Dinosaur Ryuzaki, waking him up instantly.
Yes--
He has actually taken a new step!
In Amagi Light, with the support of that kid!
“Perhaps, our relationship has not reached that point, but I am still glad that you came out. After all… Duelists like us are born for dueling.
After ten years, even the best of friends cannot stay together forever. After all, everyone has their own career and life goals to achieve.”
Jonouchi sighed, and then: "If that's the case - let's end it here."
!! ?
The dinosaur Ryuzaki was startled.
No way! ?
"Too slow, too slow, Ryuzaki!"
"You wake up too slowly!
You are so far behind, so far behind!!
Hey, you have been left far behind by me!"
"Ryuuzaki!"
The atmosphere in the city suddenly changed.
The wind howls!
All the onlookers were forced back by the [violent wind].
Do not--
That's not a strong wind!
That is [courage]!
Seeing this, Amagi Hikaru even shuddered slightly.
His heart was pounding!
excited!
Very, wildly excited, he could feel, a kind of excitement that was difficult to describe in words beating in his heart.
It's a much stronger feeling of excitement than the Light Wave and the Seahorse from ten years ago!
The real [legend]!
Not those "Duel with legends and become a legendary duelist"... a true "Legend"!!
"My turn, draw a card!"
He pulled out a card, glanced at it, and played it directly: "Normal Summon, Steel Fantasy!"
what is that?
Everyone exclaimed in their hearts.
Amagi Hikaru’s eyes widened.
Metallization
"You can only activate this card when you Normal Summon or Special Summon it. Place 1 Metallize Trap from your Deck on your field. If you have Metallize Enhanced Reflective Armor in your Graveyard, you can draw 1 more card!"
"Metallization?" Ryuzaki remembered that it was a trap card that supported Red-Eyes.
when--
Ah, it's [that trap], the one shown at the beginning, the trap used to special summon androids!
Jonouchi placed a card on the field, then drew a card and played another one: "Not yet finished, send 1 covered card on your field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card! Red-Eyes Steelclaw Dragon!"
A red-eyed black dragon with steel claws flew down from the sky and landed on the field within Jonouchi.
"Red-Eyes Steelclaw Dragon's effect: When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, you can activate this effect if you have [Metalized Reflective Armor] on your field or in your Graveyard. Add 1 [Metalized] Trap from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand."
"I add the traps in the graveyard to my hand, and then cover them."
"How about it, do you want to activate the Gaika?"
Ryuzaki was a little confused.
If it is just this extent, there is no need to use the cover card. After all, if you destroy all the cards on your field at this time, it will not be worth it.
His attack power is higher.
"Then, activate the Trap Card - Metallization - Enhanced Reflective Armor!"
"what?"
"what?"
"Isn't this what was just covered?!"
“Right, right, right!? It’s a foul! This is totally a foul! But, but Jonouchi-san must have his reasons for doing this…”
"Quiet! It's very easy to understand, right? This is a monster effect!" Amagi Hikaru interrupted the duelists' screams.
"Ha, that's right—" Jonouchi Totenjo nodded, "When Red-Eyes Steel Claw Dragon is on the field, it can also be activated during the turn when I set the Metallization trap."
"Unexpectedly——"
"So strong!?"
"Well, that's outrageous!"
Jonouchi didn't think too much about it and said, "Metallize·Reinforced Reflective Armor: Activate by releasing 1 face-up monster on your field. Special Summon 1 monster with the card name "Metallize·Reinforced Reflective Armor" that cannot be Normal Summoned from your hand, deck, or graveyard. After that, you can equip this card to that monster as an Equip Card that increases [ATK and DEF by 400, cannot be destroyed by Spells or Monsters' effects, and your opponent cannot target the equipped monster with Spells or Monsters' effects]."
"I strengthened the Red-Eyes!"
Ding ding ding ding——
Steel was added to Red-Eyes crazily, and a giant steel dragon armed to the teeth in a physical sense slowly descended.
Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon, level 8, dark attribute, mechanical type, attack power 3400→3800.
"3800!"
"Surpassing the Dragon King! And far surpassing the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
Ryuzaki swallowed and said, "Activate the Trap Card, Jurassic Strike. This can only be activated if there is a Dinosaur-Type monster with 2500 or more ATK on your field. Destroy all cards on the field!"
"Self-destruction?"
"It was a self-destruction! But if I do that, I'll be gone too—"
"No, this is a good thing! After all, if my little horned dragon is destroyed, I can Special Summon another monster!"
Many duelists were discussing this change.
Only Amagi Hikaru knows.
The moment [Metalization] is activated, the game is over.
"Ha, sorry, Ryuuzaki - Red-Eyes Black Heavy Steel Dragon's effect can only be activated when the opponent activates its effect. That activation is invalid."
The trap card was just turned over, and then it stopped immediately. The "dinosaur meteorite" that was just about to gather in the sky disappeared instantly...
"Actually——" Dinosaur Ryuzaki was shocked.
“Heh…” Jonouchi looked at the Red-Eyes, and the Red-Eyes howled.
Black Dragon represents Burning Blood - After this effect is activated, he can inflict damage equal to the HP points of a monster on the opponent's field indicated by the attack power.
That is 3200 points!
but--
He hates [Burning Blood] very much.
"Ryuzaki, it's time to use the last card. In ancient legends, there was a legendary swordsman who defeated countless elves. However, after defeating all the invincible opponents in the world, he felt lonely and then equipped himself with heavy armor..."
"...Sword Saint?"
"That's right - the last trump card I used in that duel! Transformed into a phoenix, the reborn swordsman!"
"Equip the Equipment Spell Card Dark Dragon Claw from your hand to Red-Eyes Black Heavy Steel Dragon, then banish the equipment to activate. Special Summon, Mighty Phoenix Swordmaster Kia Freed!"
A huge swordsman wearing pure white armor and covered in flames slowly walked out of the fireball-like summoning circle.
The mighty Phoenix Sword Saint Kiya Freed, level 9, fire attribute, warrior clan, attack power 3000!
"An attack power completely comparable to that of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"Huff, huff, huff..." The old man said with his hands behind his back, "The Divine Phoenix Swordmaster can banish Equipment Magic Cards on the field and in the graveyard and Special Summon them."
Jonouchi then picked up a card: "Equip Magic Card, Phoenix Armed Sword, equip it to the Sword Master."
Swordmaster 3000 → 3300.
"When the Swordmaster attacks, you can equip 1 monster on the opponent's field as an Equipment Card that increases its attack power by 500 points. That Little Horned Dragon is pretty pitiful... I'll use the Swordmaster to attack your Soul Eater Oviraptor, and then equip Little Horned Dragon by the way."
Swordmaster 3300→3800
The Flame Sword Master slashed at the dinosaur that was burning with blue flames.
Dinosaur Ryuzaki stretched out his hands to block in front of him and took the damage.
Ryuki, LP: 2600 → 600.
"Then, Red-Eyes Black Heavy Steel Dragon attacks!"
3800-3200=600!
Just right!
Ryuzaki took a deep breath.
Is the gap between me and Jonouchi so huge now?!
He was a little angry and a little regretful, regretting why he had wasted so many years.
But at the same time, he was somewhat excited!
Okay, Jonouchi, just wait for me. I will definitely defeat you completely with my own strength and the concept of duel that I have newly learned!
That day is definitely not far away!
boom!
Black flames fell.
Ryuki, LP: 600 → 0.
