"What's there to persist? Tenjo Hikari has three monsters in Attack Position on the field! Dark Guardian can attack any one of them and it's over—"
"That's right—looks like the champion of the GX Tournament isn't much after all..."
"Quiet!" Suddenly, a roar echoed—not a literal roar, but it felt like one in everyone's hearts, though it was just a calm whisper.
They looked at a hunched figure in a corner, unable to stop a cold sweat from breaking out.
Dinosaur Lyuzakii!
The Legendary Duelist!
He simply stood there with his hands in his pockets, watching the duel, not looking at any of them, yet the voice he shouted out was like the roar of a dinosaur, making people afraid.
Serena's eyes sparkled.
She felt she wanted to learn this!
Ruri kept her eyes fixed on the image, afraid to miss any detail.
"It's a battle, Dark Guardian attacking... hmm, Hikari, huh?"
"Activate Set Card!" Suddenly, Tenjo Hikari raised his hand, "Trap Card, Fusion Duplication!"
The Maze Brothers looked puzzled at this uncommon card.
In the card image, Magical Scientist was mass-producing Ready Fusion.
"Target 1 Fusion Normal or Quick-Play Spell Card in either player's Graveyard. Banish that Spell Card, and apply its effect when activated!"
"I'll banish the Normal Spell Card Polymerization in my Graveyard—"
"Fusion at this time?"
"As expected of Tenjo Hikari, even at this moment, still going for a Fusion."
"But Dark Guardian isn't affected by Monster Effects, right? Even if you fuse, it won't work, will it?"
"Heh... of course, it will!" Tenjo Hikari took a deep breath, "Sorry, since acquiring you, this is the first time I'm using you—and it's at such a scene.
But—at a crucial moment, it must be used!"
Tenjo Hikari squinted his eyes, raising his right hand.
"The Fusion Conditions are three monsters with different card names on my field or in my hand!"
"The three guns of the Judgment World shall become the icy hell, freezing the world!"
"Hoo——"
As Tenjo Hikari spoke, he exhaled white, icy breath.
"Fusion Summon!"
"LV 9!"
"Trishula, the Dragon of Icy Imprisonment!"
"Graooooooarrrrrr!!!!!!!!" A dragon's roar exploded like a bomb.
The three-headed Ice Dragon slowly made its entrance, as if it had just woken up, or like it hadn't breathed air in a long time. After a moment of hesitation at its debut, it quickly became violent, excited, and frenzied, its three heads swinging wildly, heedless of its surroundings, smashing everything it saw with abandon!
Destruction!
Fight!
No hesitation, no doubt—
Summon me, and I'll help you!!
I'll help you freeze everything!
Hahahahaha!!
Trishula, the Dragon of Icy Imprisonment, Water Attribute, LV 9, Dragon-Type, DEF 2000.
"What kind of monster is that?" The Maze Brothers were dumbfounded seeing this monster indiscriminately smashing the maze.
"Never mind, doesn't matter at all—attack continues, Dark Guardian attacking Trishula!"
Trishula, breathing fresh air as if for the first time in ages, suddenly noticed a presumptuous creature charging towards it. It roared, eager for battle, but realized it was in Defense Position while its opponent had an ATK of over 7000. With a roar, it was ultimately no match for Dark Guardian, turning into ice shards as it vanished from the field.
"It seems the spirit's true consciousness was at work." Tierra, standing to the side, casually explained to Tenjo Hikari after watching the scene, "It's probably the Trishula from the DT Spirit World—it seems to be the type of spirit that, whenever summoned in any dimension, directly descends with its card and consciousness to join the battle head-on."
Hah...
A War Frenzy Spirit indeed.
Tenjo Hikari nodded slightly. This was his first time Fusion Summoning it, so even he didn't know what Trishula was all about—but it's worth mentioning that although this was Tenjo Hikari's first time summoning Trishula, in reality, no matter the duel, Trishula always took up a spot in Tenjo Hikari's Extra Deck, truly a 100% attendance Fusion Monster.
"Gate Guardian attacks Quickdraw Synchron."
Buzz, buzz——
Quickdraw Synchron's figure dissipated.
Quickdraw Synchron's effect triggers a Special Summon when it leaves the field, causing it to be banished directly.
"Set a card, and end my turn."
Dox looked at the set card and nodded slightly.
The card he set was the Trap Card, Mirror Force.
A Trap Card that can destroy all attacking monsters.
And, the Gate Guardian still has three times target-negation ability, while Dark Guardian has over 7000 ATK. No matter how Judai wants to attack, it's not easy to break through their invincible combination.
It's important to note, even if Gate Guardian is destroyed, they can recombine as before.
Their advantage is significant!
"My turn now." Judai drew a card, looking at the cards in his hand, unable to hold back two sighs.
As it turned to Judai's turn, the audience quickly concentrated, eager to see what maneuver Judai would make next.
If someone were to carefully observe all the spectators, they might notice that there was one particular spectator who appeared especially excited at this moment.
Although the duel had plenty of ups and downs before, incredibly exciting changes, this spectator showed no emotional fluctuation, only becoming somewhat agitated when Judai made a move or when his cards achieved some effect.
Now, it was Judai's turn again.
Judai looked at the cards in his hand, reflecting a bit.
"Thinking back now, it seems a year and a half has passed, but it feels as if a lifetime has gone by." Although due to the maze, he couldn't see Tenjo Hikari or hear his voice, just looking at the card set by Tenjo, he felt as if it were still back then, back when they first fought in the Warrior Domain like that.
