Chapter 13 Fusion Summoning

Fusion Summon! Elemental Hero·Nova Lord!

It was an elemental hero covered in red gold armor. His face was covered by the visor of his helmet, and the red cape behind him rose and fell with the scorching waves.

The moment he appeared, he brought scalding hot lava, which spread sizzlingly on the ground, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by the high temperature he carried.

It's obviously just a virtual image, but even just looking at this hero's appearance makes people feel like a wave of hot air is hitting their face.

[Elemental Hero·Nova Lord, attack power 2600]

"New Star...Lord!?" Jonouchi looked stunned, "What kind of monster is this? Its attack power is actually more than that of True Red Eyes!"

The fusion condition of Nova Lord is the fusion of a monster with an elemental hero in its name and a fire attribute monster, so it can be fused with the elemental hero Wingman and the fire-attributed Explosive Girl.

This card is the fusion monster that Yu Yu has been relentlessly upgrading through duels these days, and drawn from the system card pool using crystal cards.

It's just that until today, he hasn't fused a single magic card, so this fused monster is naturally of no use. Thanks to Qianna-chan's friendly sponsorship, which allowed him to draw a magic card for fusion, Nova Lord got the chance to make his debut.

"It's time to fight!" You Yu entered the battle stage without hesitation, "Use Nova Lord to attack the Red-Eyed Black Dragon!"

He waved his hand at the real red eyes on the castle grounds in front of him and issued a declaration of attack.

However, the Nova Lord on his side of the field was still floating in place with his arms folded in a cool pose, completely ignoring his master's orders and not even intending to take action.

You Yu couldn't help but be stunned: "Lord Nova?"

what's going on?

Did Jonouchi activate some effect that he accidentally ignored to limit the attack?

"Uh... well, don't you know?" Jonouchi said with a blank look, "About the new rules for dueling monsters formulated by Battle City?"

"Ah?" You Yu was stunned.

The game explains on the side: "According to the new rules of Duel City, fusion monsters cannot attack during the turn when they are summoned by fusion."

You Yu: "..."

Gan!

What the hell is this rule?

Labor and capital raise one monster and exchange three for one, and the loss is like a snake skin. Why are you telling me that I can't attack this round?

However, President Kaiba's idea of ​​setting such a rule is rather simple. Because according to the new rules, if you want to summon powerful monsters, most of them rely on sacrifices for higher-level summoning, but it is not easy to collect sacrifices on the field while resisting the opponent's attacks.

In comparison, Fusion Summoning, where materials can be selected directly from hand cards, is a bit too easy to get out of high-star monsters, so of course attack restrictions should be added.

It's just that this kind of rule seems funny to players who are used to master rules...

In fact, Yu Yu knew that there was such a rule after watching the animation, but the age of the Yu-Gi-Oh DM was so long ago that he forgot about it.

The corner of You Yu's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt a little pain in his balls.

This rule...is an epic weakening of elemental heroes that focus on fusion...

So he summoned such a fusion monster three times but couldn't attack. Is it just to let others get rid of it next round?

Helpless, after all, we are playing someone else's game, and the rules and everything else are decided by the dog planner.

You Yu inserted all the last two cards in his hand into the slots of the duel disk: "I covered two cards, and the round is over."

"Huh~ It's so dangerous, but fortunately I can't attack during the turn of the fusion summons." Jonouchi said, "In my turn, I draw a card!"

He looked at the new cards in his hand and couldn't help but smile proudly: "You Yu, since you can't attack, I will go to the ground without mercy this round! I activate the equipment magic card from my hand - Claws of the Dark Dragon! Equip the True Red-Eyes Black Dragon to increase its attack power by 600 points!”

The red-eyed black dragon, enhanced by magic, looked up to the sky and roared. Its entire outline seemed to be covered by dark waves, dispelling the pressure of the Nova Lord's high temperature, and its momentum instantly surpassed the opponent's.

[True red-eyed black dragon, attack power 2400 → attack power 3000]

The melon-eating passerby: "Attack...Attack power three thousand!?"

"The same attack power as the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!" Passers-by thought it was incredible.

(Bai Marry: I am already the unit of measurement for attack power==)

"In this way, the attack power of the red-eyed black dragon exceeds that of Nova Lord!" Jonouchi shouted excitedly, "The attack of the red-eyed black dragon! Black flame bullets!"

The high-temperature energy accumulated in the open mouth of the true red eye, and the dark current wrapped around the dark red sphere, rolling up the turbulent airflow like a hurricane.

"Don't worry yet!" You Yu pressed the button on the duel plate and waved his arm, "Open the cover card, the magic card - wave to the darkness!"

Yes, this is also Zhang's usual magic. Anyway, according to the current rules, there is basically no difference between whether the magic card is fast or not, so You Yu took advantage of this rule without mercy.

Speaking of which, this card is also a "newbie gift pack" given by Pandora. Pandora also used this card in a duel with You Yu. It has a powerful effect that can instantly destroy a monster on the field.

In fact, Pandora's novice gift package is really rich. It not only gives away rare cards like Black Magician, but also comes with many cards that are quite practical at this stage.

Hmm...it's just that he may not be very happy to give out this gift package.

Dark clouds instantly filled the field, and scarlet lightning struck down. The devil's dark hands stretched out from in front of the black cloud and grabbed the red-eyed black dragon on the court inside the city.

"It's useless!" Jonouchi didn't take a step back, "Open the cover card, the trap card - Metalized Magic Reflective Armor! This card can be used as an equipment card to equip the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, which will metalize the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, and its attack power will be the same. Defense increased by 400 points again!" (animation effect)

Jet-black steel armor covered the body of the black dragon, which was ready to go. Its true red eyes reflected the unique luster of metal under the surrounding lights.

[True red-eyed black dragon, attack power 3000 → attack power 3400]

"But it's meaningless no matter how much the attack power is increased!" You Yu said loudly, "'Waving to the Dark' can drag a monster on the field into the darkness and send it directly to the graveyard!"

"Hey, but attack power is not my goal!" Jonouchi smiled confidently and raised his voice, "The metalized red eye is protected by magic reflective armor, and any form of magic attack will be bounced off by the armor!

In other words, neither the effects of magic cards nor the attacks of the magicians are effective against the current True Red-Eyes Black Dragon! "

You Yu: "???"

Don't lie to me. It's not like labor and management don't recognize this trap card. Does it still have this effect?

Then he suddenly remembered that in the anime, Keith, the thief who faced Jonouchi in the Duel Kingdom chapter, seemed to be so rude when he used this trap card, and at that time, neither the game nor the founder of Duel Monsters, Bekas, was there. Accepting this deceptive nonsense by default...

You Yu: "..."

Um... I sympathize with Orange (i.e., Jouchouchi) for being bullied by others, but even so, you can't go around talking trash to others!

Just like revenge will only give birth to new hatred, retaliating against society with bad words will only lead to more and more bad words!

However, the system really recognized Jonouchi's nonsense. The magic card effect activated by Yu Yu was actually bounced away by the layer of reflective armor covering Zhen Hongyan's body, and the black clouds in the sky disappeared instantly.

You Yu said that I was stupid at that time...

Then the crowd was still excited: "What an awesome tactic!"

"As expected of the runner-up in the Duel Kingdom, he's so strong!"

Even Yugi chimed in: "Beautiful! This way the red eyes in the city won't be destroyed!"

But according to what Jonouchi said, the magic reflective armor will reflect off any magic effect that acts on the Red Eye, which naturally includes the equipment magic "Dark Dragon's Claw" that he activated himself. As the reflective armor comes into play, the Dark Dragon's Claws destroy themselves.

[True red-eyed black dragon, attack power 3400 → attack power 2800]

The attack power of True Red Eye is still higher!

"Go, Red Eye!" Jonouchi clenched his fists, "Defeat the Elemental Hero Nova Lord!"

The flames in the mouth of the real red eyes continued to simmer, and the Nova Lord was no longer calm now. Both palms were wrapped in the blazing flames and stood ready, as if he was ready to fight the black dragon in front of him.

But it doesn't matter!

You Yu still has something up his sleeve!

"Open the cover card!" He flipped over the last card left on his own field, "Trap card - the big tornado of sand! Destroy a magic and trap card on the field! I destroy the 'Metalization-Magic' Reflective Armor'!"

"What!?" Jonouchi was shocked.

The image of the trap card rolled up a shocking amount of sand and dust, and the inverted funnel-shaped tornado rushed toward the half of the city with high-speed swirling fallen leaves, causing sand and rocks to fly in the middle of the field.

Jonouchi raised his arms to protect his face. The trap card in the magic trap area in front of him was instantly shattered by the strong wind. The armor covering the red-eyed black dragon also disappeared, and its momentum also dropped along with its attack power.

[True red-eyed black dragon, attack power 2800 → attack power 2400]

[Elemental Hero·Nova Lord, attack power 2600]

"In this way, the attack power of both sides has been reversed again!" You Yu shouted, "Lord Nova, counterattack the attack of the real red eye!"

The black flame bullet that had been brewing in the mouth of the red-eyed black dragon for a long time was finally sprayed out. However, now that its strength had reversed, its attack no longer posed any threat to the Nova Lord.

The elemental hero of fire nimbly dodged the attack of the black flame bullet by turning sideways. He swayed, dragging his flowing cloak behind him, and appeared in front of the real red eye in an instant. His palms were burning with flames, and the sight from under his helmet was menacing, as if to say——

——Small, you seemed a little arrogant just now.

Not to be outdone, Zhen Hongyan roared, but his confidence was obviously not as strong as before, as if he had foreseen his fate that was about to be a mess...

"Damn it! It's not over yet!" Jonouchi shouted, "I still have the last resort to no avail! Open the cover card..."

boom! ! !

Raging flames swept through the whole place, and the pillar of fire engulfed the half of Jonouchi's side, engulfing the red eyes and Jonouchi's body together, and covering up the sound.

After watching so many anime and playing cards for so many years, You Yu understands one truth - there is no harm when there is smoke.

So he instinctively guessed that this attack would probably fail...

Sure enough, when the flames and smoke cleared, Jonouchi's LP was still 3200, without any change.

The Red-Eyes Black Dragon on his field was gone, replaced by a larger black dragon with lava-like patterns all over its body.

[Meteor Black Dragon, 3500 attack power]

Yuyu suddenly had a very ominous premonition...

"Hey, that was a close call." Jonouchi wiped his sweat and smiled, "I activated this card at the moment when Red-Eyes attacked just now."

He withdrew a card from the graveyard and showed it to Yuyu.

"I also activated the magic card - Fusion!" He said proudly, "I fused the Red-Eyes Black Dragon on the field with the Meteor Black Dragon in my hand, and fused my new trump card - Meteor Black Dragon!"

Yuyu: "..."

Hey, that's too much!

It's okay to activate magic cards in the battle phase... Can you also fuse them in the battle phase? ? ?

(P.S. Because some book friends asked, I would like to add that the rules here are not DIY by the author. The rules of the original anime at that time were like this. However, this part of the rules will be modified according to the subsequent plot)
