Chapter 1368: The Might of Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode!
"Kagemaru carefully avoided Stardust Dragon's ability, but the attack of Uria, Lord of Searing Flames also failed to pass smoothly.
In the first round of confrontation, the two sides seemed to be evenly matched, but is this just the calm before the storm?" The commentator continued to explain.
"My turn!" It was Yusei's turn.
Although he failed to successfully trick Lord of Searing Flames into activating the effect to induce Stardust Dragon's ability to counterattack, this also indirectly blocked Lord of Searing Flames's "Trap Destruction" ability.
At present, the attack power of Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode and Lord of Searing Flames were equal, but that was only temporary. As the number of traps in the GY increased, the attack power of Lord of Searing Flames would continue to rise, and soon Yusei might not be able to keep up with the opponent's attack power.
He must step up the attack now.
"Battle!" Yusei waved his hand, "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode, attack ‘Uria, Lord of Searing Flames'!"
Without any hesitation, Stardust Dragon received the order and hissed, and opened its mouth to burst a silver-white stardust light towards the Lord of Searing Flames on Kagemaru's field!
[Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode, ATK 3000]
[Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, ATK 3000]"Same attack power… Is the goal to die together?" Kagemaru narrowed his eyes.
Yusei had exactly this idea.
When Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode was destroyed, it could revive the "Stardust Dragon" in the graveyard to the field.
By letting it and Lord of Searing Flames die together, Kagemaru's field would be briefly cleared. At this time, the revived Stardust Dragon could launch the second attack, causing 2500 points of damage in one breath!
"Heh, I don't know what you're up to, but I don't plan to die with you." Kagemaru sneered, and another card turned over on the D-Wheel.
"Continuous Trap ‘Hyper Blaze'!" Kagemaru shouted, "Once per battle, when an attack is declared involving my ‘Uria, Lord of Searing Flames', I can send 1 Trap from my hand or Deck to the GY.
During this turn, Uria's ATK/DEF become the number of face-up Traps on the field, and in the GYs x 1000!"
"What?" Yusei's eyes changed slightly.
If this effect was successfully activated, the attack power of Lord of Searing Flames would undoubtedly surpass "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" in one fell swoop – and far exceed it!
In that case, Yusei would not only be able to use the revived Stardust Dragon to perform a second attack to cause damage, but he would also suffer a lot of backlash from the damage!
"Then the effect of ‘Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode' is activated!" Yusei waved his hand, "When a card or effect is activated, Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode can negate that activation and destroy that card by releasing itself!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Oh! What a powerful effect!" The commentator shouted while pulling the microphone cord, "This way, the activation of ‘Hyper Blaze' will be negated, and the trap itself will be destroyed!"
"Tsk, what a tricky dragon." Kagemaru snorted.
Whether it was Spell, Trap, or Monster effect, Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode could negate them all, and after activating this ability, it would escape from the field. Even Kagemaru has to admit that this was a bit difficult to deal with.
The original plan did not work, but Yusei didn't stop. He scanned the remaining cards in his hand and quickly conceived possible combinations between several cards in his mind as if outlining a clear path to victory in the dark.
There were other plans!
"Set three more cards on the field." Yusei said, "I end my turn."
Starlight gathered in the air, and the flying stardust gathered together, transforming into the appearance of a silver dragon. Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode who bathed in gorgeous starlight descended again!
[Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode, ATK 3000]
"At the end of the turn in which it was released by its own ability, ‘Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode' will be Special Summoned back to field." Yusei said, "Then at this moment, I activate the card that was set last turn!
Trap Card ‘Meteor Stream'!" (Animation Card)
"Hmm?" Kagemaru's eyes moved slightly.
"This card can only be activated when a monster is Special Summoned during the turn it was sent from the field to the Graveyard as a Tribute. Inflict 1000 damage to the opponent!" Yusei said, "Because ‘Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode' is revived, inflict 1000 damage!"
The sky full of meteors reappeared with Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode, and countless burning meteors dragged out red tail flames, swooping down towards the direction of Kagemaru's D-Wheel like dense rain of fire!
"Oh! It's a trap used in conjunction with the Stardust series' effect!" The airplane head commentator shouted, "Fudo Yusei's fierce attacks continued one after another. Even if the attack failed, he was still preparing for the next attack with the trap!"
But Kagemaru did not relax his countermeasures: "A trivial trick! Then open the set card: Quick-Play Spell – Ring of Defense! Turn the effect damage given by a trap card to 0!"
A huge mechanical wheel with green leaves appeared on Kagemaru's field, spinning rapidly into a blurred afterimage! The dense and scorching meteors slammed into the spinning leaves, and the power was completely offset!
"Kagemaru's defense is also watertight!" The airplane head shouted excitedly, "Yusei's continuous attacks from multiple angles were all beautifully blocked, and even Kagemaru's finger couldn't touch it!
It's so exciting! Both sides are worthy of being the top duelists in their respective time and space, with incomparable super rare and powerful monsters, as well as the duelists' own meticulous minds and impeccable tactical arrangements. What we are presented with is this top super-dimensional duel!"
Even Yusei couldn't help but secretly say: "So amazing, worthy of being a strong man from another dimension, the master of the legendary ‘Sacred Beast'. This person has blocked all my attacks so far…"
Kagemaru's attitude towards Yusei seems to have become a little more serious.
"You can fight to this point against the Sacred Beast, and you have performed so well in both offense and defense. I admit that you are an excellent duelist."
He praised him, but he soon became inflated again.
"But, it's just excellent! Now let me show you what the real difference in strength is!
It's my turn, draw!"
Kagemaru glanced at the "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" on Yusei's field, frowned, and groaned as if he felt that the dragon was getting more and more annoying the more he looked at it.
"Although I really want to use the effect of "Fallen Paradise" to draw cards, if I activate the effect here, the field will be destroyed by that troublesome dragon…"
"As long as that dragon is here, no matter what I want to do, you can negate it." Kagemaru said, "In this case, let me get rid of that dragon first!
Go directly to the Battle Phase!
Uria, attack ‘Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode'!"
