“The Assault Squad Knight, in terms of rules, can also be used as a ‘Phantom Knights’ ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ card.”
Ignoring the two's stunned expressions, You Yang slowly began to read the effect of the Assault Squad Knight.
“And, to activate this card, you must remove one Xyz material from it.”
You Yang's finger swiped across the Duel Disk, and immediately, one of the Xyz materials around the Assault Squad Knight on the field flew into its chest.
“Overlay an arbitrary ‘Phantom Knights’ ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ or ‘Xyz Dragon’ Xyz Monster with a Rank higher or lower than this card's Rank, on top of this card on the field, and Special Summon it from the Extra Deck as an Xyz Summon!”
“What? Xyz Monsters can be used as Xyz material to perform further Xyz Summons? This, this is impossible!”
Lu Xiao Xue was completely dumbfounded.
She had been learning Dueling from her father since she was a child.
She had also heard of the advanced Summoning method known as Xyz Summoning.
Xyz Summoning is a special Summoning method where you use multiple monsters with the same Rank.
But she never thought.
That Xyz Summoning could actually be performed on top of the Xyz Monster itself!
This.
This was just too unbelievable!
“Xyz Rank-Up!”
“‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Brave Forest Owl’!”
Swoosh—!
The Assault Squad Knight on the field was instantly enveloped by a beam of light that shot up into the sky.
The next moment, as the beam of light slowly dissipated.
What appeared before everyone was a gigantic mechanical forest owl that was completely gray-blue in color!
‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Brave Forest Owl’
‘Rank: 5’
‘Bird/Xyz’
‘ATK: 2000, DEF: 2500’
“Another new Xyz Monster has appeared...” Seeing the second Xyz Monster appear on You Yang's field, Lu Xiao Xue covered her mouth, trying to keep herself from making any sounds of surprise.
But Hai Tian was different.
He looked at the Brave Forest Owl in front of him with a blank expression, and the panic on his face was undeniably obvious.
“W-What are you kidding?!”
“Is there such a thing as this kind of Xyz Summon in the world?!”
“H-Hehehe... But, but, even if the Summoning method is fancy, what does it matter! Your monster's ATK is still far less than my ‘Diamond Dragon’!”
Hai Tian had already gone a little crazy.
Or rather, he hadn't gone crazy.
He was simply trying to build up his own courage.
He was desperately trying to psych himself up with this insignificant difference in ATK of one hundred points.
To this, You Yang still remained indifferent.
Brave Forest Owl was just one of his steps.
The real end-game would probably scare this native to death.
You Yang removed one Xyz material and said: “Brave Forest Owl, when it has a Bird-type monster as Xyz material, you can activate this card by removing one Xyz material from it.”
“Add one ‘Rank-Up Magic’ Spell Card from your Deck to your hand!”
Rank-Up Magic?
This... What is this?!
“I add ‘Rank-Up Magic - Leap of Power’ to my hand and activate it!”
You Yang held the card in his hand high and shouted coldly: “Activate this card by targeting one ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ Xyz Monster on your own field, then, a ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ monster with a Rank that is two higher than that Xyz Monster, is overlaid on top of your target monster, and Special Summoned from the Extra Deck as an Xyz Summon!”
“Rank-Up Leap!”
“Descend, Rank 7! ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Armory Hawk’!”
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—!
The Brave Forest Owl on the field immediately began to change.
Its mechanical wings began to spread, and gray armor was constantly inlaid on its gray-blue skin!
In an instant, a gigantic battle falcon was fully equipped!
Accompanied by a sharp cry, it appeared behind You Yang!
‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Armory Hawk’!
‘Rank: 7’
‘Bird/Xyz’
‘ATK: 2500, DEF: 2000’
“A-ah... ah....... h-how... how could this be......”
At this moment, even ATK could no longer be compared.
Hai Tian fell to his knees, completely stunned.
“Armory Hawk effect activation, once per turn, detach one Xyz material from this card to activate it!”
“Special Summon one Bird-type, Level 4 monster from your Deck!”
“I choose to Special Summon ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Exile Shrike’!”
‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Exile Shrike’
‘Level: 4’
‘Bird’
‘ATK: 1300, DEF: 1600’
“According to the effect of Exile Shrike, this card can be activated once per turn during your Main Phase during the turn that it was Summoned or Special Summoned.”
“Special Summon one ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ monster with a Level lower than 4 from your hand!”
You Yang revealed another card from his hand: “I choose to Special Summon ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Dark Shrike’!”
‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Dark Shrike’
‘Rank: 4’
‘Bird’
‘ATK: 1600, DEF: 500’
“Dark Shrike, during your Main Phase when it was Summoned or Special Summoned, activate this card by targeting one ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ monster on your own field.”
“Add a ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ monster with a different Level than that monster from your Deck to your hand.”
“I choose to add the Level 3 ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Villain Vulture’ to my hand, and when there are only ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ monsters on your field, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand!”
As You Yang threw down the card in his hand.
In an instant, a total of five ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ monsters had gathered on You Yang's field!
“I shall use ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Villain Vulture’ and ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Armory Hawk’ as Link Materials!”
“Establish Link Markers with two DARK Bird-type monsters! I perform a Link Summon!”
Link Summon?!
Seeing You Yang's actions, even Lu Xiao Xue, who was already somewhat numb, couldn't help but be shocked.
After Xyz Summoning, he was actually performing a Link Summon!
Furthermore, he was actually using his own strongest ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Armory Hawk’ as a Link Material?
This... Why in the world would he do this?!
Lu Xiao Xue was completely baffled.
And Hai Tian, upon seeing You Yang use his strongest ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Armory Hawk’ as a Link Material, his expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.
“F-fool! You actually used your own ace as material! Hahahaha......”
However, before he could finish laughing, Hai Tian saw You Yang's icy gaze.
“Who said ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Armory Hawk’ is my ace?”
You Yang held a light blue card between his fingers and said calmly: “But don't worry, you'll get to see my ace soon enough.”
“Come forth! LINK-2 ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Wisdom Forest Owl’!”
‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Wisdom Forest Owl’
‘Bird/Link’
‘ATK: 1400, LINK-2’
“This card can only be activated when it is Link Summoned: Special Summon one Bird-type, DARK, Level 4 monster from your Deck in Defense Position! The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot be used as a Link Material, and its effects are negated.”
“And! ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Armory Hawk’ effect activation, this card can only be activated when it is sent to the Graveyard while it has a ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ monster as Xyz material.”
“Special Summon one ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ Xyz Monster other than ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Armory Hawk’ from your Extra Deck, and use this card as that monster's Xyz material!”
You Yang whispered coldly, and at the same time took a card from his Extra Deck and slammed it on the Duel Disk.
“Ultimate Falcon of the highest level!”
“Inherit the fiery will and soar to the sky of victory!”
“Xyz Summon—Rank 10! ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Ultimate Falcon’!”
Swoosh—!
Accompanied by a distorted sound of space shattering, the completely golden Ultimate Falcon broke through space with its wings spread, and with a series of roaring sounds, it suddenly appeared on the field!
‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Ultimate Falcon’!
‘Rank: 10’
‘Bird/Xyz’
‘ATK: 3500, DEF: 2000’
Looking at the golden falcon that soared in the sky, the last straw of hope in Hai Tian's heart disappeared at this moment.
“S-stop... stop it......”
“What are you doing......?”
“You, you're not playing Duel Monsters... this isn't how you play Duel Monsters......”
With the appearance of Ultimate Falcon.
Hai Tian and Lu Xiao Xue's views on Dueling had been impacted beyond belief.
They had never seen this kind of development before, they had never seen this kind of Rank 10 Xyz Monster before!
This terrifying sense of oppression.
It was something that duelers of their level couldn't bear!
“‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Wisdom Forest Owl’ effect also activates in chain.”
“I choose to Special Summon ‘Assault Squad Wing’! This card is also considered a ‘Phantom Knights’ ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ card in terms of rules.”
‘Assault Squad Wing’
‘Level: 4’
‘Bird’
‘ATK: 0, DEF: 2000’
“Then, I will use the Level 4 ‘Assault Squad Wing’, ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Exile Shrike’, ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Dark Shrike’, and ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Blur Shrike’ to perform a Double Xyz Summon!”
You Yang took two black Xyz cards from his Extra Deck: “Xyz Summon, two Rank 4s! ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Force Forest Owl’!”
‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Force Forest Owl’ X2
‘Rank: 4’
‘Bird/Xyz’
‘ATK: 100→1600, DEF: 2000→3500’
“Force Forest Owl's ATK and DEF increase by 500 points for each other Bird-type monster on your field.”
“And, I activate ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Ultimate Falcon’s’ effect.”
You Yang smiled slightly and said: “Detach one Xyz material from this card to activate it: this turn, the ATK of all monsters on your opponent's field is reduced by 1000 points, and your opponent cannot activate card effects!”
“What?!” Hearing You Yang's words, Hai Tian was instantly horrified.
He hastily looked up, but saw a number of golden winged blades instantly pierce into the body of his Diamond Dragon.
Diamond Dragon roared in pain, and its ATK plummeted!
‘Diamond Dragon’
‘ATK: 2100→1100’
“Then, ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Wisdom Forest Owl’ effect activates: When an Xyz Monster on your own field activates its effect, place one ‘Rank-Up Magic’ Spell Card from your Deck face-down on your own field.”
“When a Spell Card is placed face-down, that card can be activated during the turn it was placed face-down!”
“I choose to place the Spell Card, ‘Rank-Up Magic - Rapid-Strike Raptor Power’, face-down on the field! And activate it!”
At this moment, a dark fire that even You Yang himself hadn't noticed was burning in his eyes.
He flipped the card over on the Duel Disk, and behind him, a shadowy giant bird suddenly appeared!
“Th-that... is that... a Card Spirit?”
Lu Xiao Xue, who was standing nearby, keenly noticed this scene.
She stared blankly at You Yang who was enveloped in the flames of a mysterious Card Spirit, and her heart was filled with shock!
Those who are recognized by Card Spirits are all the top duelists in the world!
Similarly.
Only those who have received the recognition of Card Spirits will have their Decks respond to their calls!
“Rapid-Strike Raptor Power, during either player's Main Phase or during your opponent's Battle Phase, activate this card by targeting two or more ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ Xyz monsters on your own field and in your Graveyard.”
“Special Summon one ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor’ Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck with a Rank equal to the combined Ranks of those two or more Xyz Monsters as an Xyz Summon!”
You Yang quickly removed the two ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Force Forest Owls’ on the field and the ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Brave Forest Owl’ in his Graveyard.
“Using two Rank 4 Xyz Monsters and one Rank 5 Xyz Monster, I perform the Ultimate Rank-Up!”
“W-wait, two Rank 4s plus one Rank 5, wouldn’t that be Rank 13?!” Lu Xiao Xue suddenly thought of something and hastily reminded him: “The highest Rank of an Xyz Monster is only Rank 12, Rank 13, how is that possible…?”
“How is it impossible?”
You Yang calmly interrupted Lu Xiao Xue.
“A true duelist is someone who can do everything that ordinary people think is impossible.”
“And by the way.”
“This, is a true Duel Monster.”
“It is.”
“A true duel!”
Holding the dark Xyz card in his hand high.
A powerful and violent hurricane suddenly swept around You Yang.
Purple lightning struck one after another, and the falcons on the field also let out earth-shattering cries.
“Dark Falcon born of the deepest darkness!”
“Flip those wings that crown the bottom of the sky at this moment, and once again stir the wind of rebellion!”
“Rank-Up Leap Xyz Transform!”
Swoosh—!
At this moment, a monstrous storm suddenly swept across the sky.
Unbeknownst to You Yang, a terrifying aura that swept across the world, with Black Dragon City as its epicenter, was rapidly spreading to all parts of the world!
At this moment.
All the major Spirit Families in the world felt this astonishing Spirit Power at the same time.
This power was like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, instantly setting off huge waves!
“Th-this... this power, could it be that another earth-shattering, ghost-crying Duel Spirit has descended?!”
“In terms of power alone, this Duel Spirit is even beyond the legendary God Cards!”
“Impossible! This power is even beyond the newly awakened ‘Ultimate Dragon Sorcerer’ of our Blue-Eyes clan! Who in the world is this?!”
“The entire Dueling world... could it be that the deck is being reshuffled…?”
You Yang naturally had no idea about the chaos in the entire Dueling world.
At this moment, he only felt that his entire body was filled with an unknown and terrifying power.
At this moment, he felt like a god who controlled all life and death.
Feeling this indescribable power!
“Fly beyond everything and bring a new wind of change to the world!”
Opening his eyes, the terrifying and chaotic pressure instantly swept away Hai Tian in front of him and Lu Xiao Xue who was watching from the side.
“Rank 13! ‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Rank-Up Rebel Falcon’!!!”
‘Rapid-Strike Raptor - Rank-Up Rebel Falcon’
‘Rank: 13’
‘Bird/Xyz’
‘ATK: 4000, DEF: 3500’
Dust settled with the giant shadow that was like a mountain.
Looking at the disheveled Hai Tian and Lu Xiao Xue.
You Yang's lips curled into a faint sneer.
Purple lightning wrapped around him, the same as the Rank-Up Rebel Falcon.
Golden light flickered in his pupils, sending shivers down their spines!
“Are you ready to accept the fate of defeat?”
