Chapter 19
So Many Merges in One Round, Will This Ever End?

“That’s not right. According to the rules, a monster that was Fusion Summoned in this turn cannot attack, but Jewel Knight King·Brilliant Diamond was Special Summoned by its effect, so it’s not subject to that restriction and can attack this turn.”

Yugi’s expression turned serious as he explained to his best friend, Joey.

Hearing this, Yugi Muto also nodded in his heart, “As expected of Yugi. His understanding of the Dueling rules is very deep. He clearly understands his actions.”

It was clear that he was much stronger than the Rare Card Hunter and the Dinosaur, Rex Raptor, whom he dueled against yesterday.

“Brilliant Diamond, attack the monster on your opponent’s field.”

After summoning Brilliant Diamond, Yugi Muto looked at his hand. There was nothing else he could do, so he entered the Battle Phase without hesitation.

Jewel Knight King swung his long sword, the blade slashing the evil dragon, seven-colored sword energy tore through the earth, directly cutting Evil Knight Dragon in half.

“My trump card!”

Seeing Evil Knight Dragon being destroyed, Rex Raptor let out a heart-wrenching scream.

【Rex Raptor lp4000→2950】

Rex Raptor’s expression made Yugi Muto speechless. It’s just that the monster was destroyed in battle, it wasn’t like his cards were torn up, was it necessary to be like that?

Speaking of which, Red-Eyes Black Dragon was also Rex Raptor’s monster at first. Yugi Muto couldn’t figure out why all the trump cards in this dinosaur deck were dragons.

Do all monsters with “Dragon” in their name belong to the same family?

This made Yugi Muto think of an extremely powerful deck called Dragon Dragon Dragon.

However, even though the name has three “Dragons,” the three parts that make up this deck are not actually dragons at all.

The full name of this deck is True Dragon Dinosaur Dragon Star, which consists of Wyrm and Dinosaur, and it has nothing to do with Dragons at all.

“This ends my turn.”

Yugi Muto ended his turn and allowed his opponent to go.

In the original environment, destroying a monster with an attack power of 3400 was quite difficult.

A high attack monster standing on the field gave you peace of mind.

“Draw!”

Rex Raptor looked at Jewel Knight King on the field, gnashing his teeth as he added the top card of his deck to his hand.

There was no monster in his deck with an attack power exceeding 3400, he could only rely on magic and traps to defeat this monster.

“Hehehe.”

Rex Raptor showed a sinister smile upon seeing the card he had just drawn.

The card he drew was the Trap Card, Blast Armor!

The effect of this card is that when your opponent’s monster declares an attack, you can activate this card and destroy that attacking monster.

This means that as long as he set this card, when his opponent’s Jewel Knight King attacks next turn, it can be directly destroyed.

Under the power of Blast Armor, no matter how high the monster’s attack power is, it cannot escape destruction.

“I Normal Summon Giant King Thornsaurus.”

A Thornsaurus with green stripes on its back and tail appeared on the field, letting out a less confident roar at Jewel Knight King.

Giant King Thornsaurus, attack power 2000.

“A monster with an attack power of 2000 can be Normal Summoned directly.”

Many spectators in the audience were envious at the sight of Rex Raptor summoning this powerful four-star monster.

“Hehe, my dinosaur deck, its combat power is so powerful. However, Giant King Thornsaurus has a weakness, it cannot attack directly. But this minor problem is not a big deal. I’ll set one card and end my turn.”

Rex Raptor placed a card in the Spell & Trap Zone and ended his turn.

Giant King Thornsaurus roared again, seemingly taunting Jewel Knight King.

Seeing this, Yugi Muto twitched at the corner of his mouth.

No way, no way, you wouldn’t think I would attack directly, would you?

Anyone with half a brain knows that there’s something fishy about your set card, right?

Giant King Thornsaurus is excellent, but it’s no match for Jewel Knight King.

In this situation, not defending and attacking in an open manner, isn’t that just waiting for people to attack you?

“Draw.”

It was Yugi Muto’s turn, he drew Crystal Rose.

Seeing this card, Yugi Muto already knew how to solve the battle.

“I Normal Summon Crystal Rose.”

A monster with ruby petals, diamond stem, and emerald leaves appeared.

Many female spectators in the audience looked at this Crystal Rose with longing in their eyes.

“I activate Crystal Rose’s effect, I send a Jewel Knight monster from my hand or deck to the graveyard. Until the end phase, this card is treated as a monster with the same name as the one sent to the graveyard.”

“I’ll send Jewel Knight·Lily to the graveyard.”

Crystal Rose flashed with light, transforming into the shape of Lily.

“At this moment, Lily’s effect activates. When this card is sent to the graveyard because of an effect, I can choose one Normal Monster in my graveyard to add to my hand.”

Yugi Muto added Jewel Knight·Lilia from the graveyard to his hand.

“Then, I activate the effect of Jewel Knight Fusion in the graveyard. I banish the second Lilia in the graveyard, this card returns to my hand. Fusion!”

Yugi Muto directly activated Jewel Knight Fusion, fusing the Swamp King of the Bog in his hand with Crystal Rose (Jewel Knight·Lily) on the field.

Jewel Knight·Amethyst stood on the field, holding a halberd, exuding an air of authority.

“I activate the effect of Jewel Knight Fusion again. I banish Jewel Knight·Lily in my graveyard, this card returns to my hand.”

“And, I banish Crystal Rose from my graveyard. This card’s second effect is that if it exists in the graveyard, I can banish a Fusion Monster from my graveyard and Special Summon this card in defense position. I banish Jewel Knight Lady·Bright Diamond, bloom once more, Crystal Rose.”

“Because Crystal Rose has been sent to the graveyard once, its effect refreshes. I activate its first effect again, sending Jewel Knight·Jade from my deck to the graveyard.”

“This time, I’ll fuse Jewel Knight·Amethyst and Crystal Rose, come forth, Jewel Knight·Azure.”

Jewel Knight Fusion activated, and another knight with an extraordinary presence, radiating a deep blue light, took to the stage.

Faced with Yugi Muto’s dazzling series of moves, the spectators in the audience had become numb.

What kind of tactics are these, he could fuse so many times in one turn, is this going to end?

Yugi and Joey also looked on in astonishment. They have also used Fusion before.

But their Fusion was simply a simple fusion of monsters from their hand or field, usually only once or twice in a game. They couldn’t compare with Yugi Muto’s dazzling series of maneuvers.

“With the Fusion of Jewel Knight·Amethyst sent to the graveyard, its effect also activates at this moment. All the face-down Spells and Traps on the field return to the hands of their respective controllers.”

As Yugi Muto explained, a purple light burst forth from the ground towards both players’ Spell & Trap Zones.

“So that was your goal.”

Rex Raptor finally realized, although he complained.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he could only return Blast Armor in his hand.
