“Tch, nothing but cheap tricks.”
Kazumo ignored Tetsu and continued his plays.
“I activate the Spell Card from my hand, Magikey Maftea!”
“I fuse the Mafteal on my field with Angel Trumpeter from my Deck!”
Under the command, the ram-headed demon fused into Clavkiys’s Magikey gun.
Demonic eyes and curled ram horns instantly grew from the weapon.
“Clavkiys, wielder of the Magikey!
Insert the magical gun into the gate of demons!
Release the hidden power of the demonic dragon!”
As Kazumo chanted, Clavkiys raised the Magikey gun high toward the sky, and an ancient bronze gate appeared overhead.
At the center of the ornament-covered gate, the massive gem embedded within it began radiating a dazzling green light.
Clavkiys pulled the trigger, firing a beam of white light from the Magikey gun directly into the gate.
The gate burst open, and a green demonic dragon with twin horns flew out from within.
Fusion Summon!
[Magikey Dragon – Andrabime] Level 8│WIND│Dragon│2800 ATK
“A Fusion Monster I’ve never seen before…”
Tetsu was no longer as relaxed as before, gradually becoming serious.
“I activate Magikey Dragon’s effect!
Destroy monsters with the same Attribute that exist on the field and in the Graveyard!
I choose the Mafteal in my Graveyard, so all LIGHT monsters on the field are destroyed!”
“Not happening!
I activate S-Force Justify’s effect to negate your Magikey Dragon’s effect!”
A large amount of green beams immediately burst from Justify’s body, binding the enormous green dragon like ropes.
“At this moment, I chain the Quick-Play Spell in my hand, Magikey Battle!
I return the Spell Card Maftea from my Graveyard to the Deck and make all Magikey monsters on my field unaffected by my opponent’s effects!”
As Kazumo slammed down the card, a Magikey flew out from it and fired a dazzling white beam that instantly shattered the binding green light.
Freed from restraint, the demonic dragon spread its wings and let out an excited roar.
“Go, Magikey Dragon!
Infernal Summoning Flame Shot!”
The green dragon spat out two gigantic fireballs from its mouth, blasting S-Force Justify and S-Force Gravitino on Tetsu’s field into pieces.
The destruction of the monsters stirred up a fierce gust of wind, immediately causing Tetsu’s D-Wheel to shake violently.
“Now the tables have turned!”
As Kazumo declared this, his orange D-Wheel and the green dragon soaring overhead sped forward together, overtaking the police D-Wheel amidst the raging winds.
Seeing Justify destroyed, the rookie officer immediately grew anxious.
“Ah!
Captain’s in danger now!”
“It’s fine.
The opponent’s monsters still aren’t enough to defeat the captain.”
The veteran calmly watched the screen and pointed at the field as he explained.
“The captain still has cards in his hand.
Rappa Chiyomaru can immediately restart his offense next turn.
The Dog Tag in his hand can be Special Summoned for defense, and he also has the face-down card to negate Trap interference.”
“The opponent only has one card left in hand, so this is the lower district rat’s final moment in the spotlight.
Next turn, the captain will defeat him.”
After hearing the explanation, the rookie suddenly felt enlightened.
“Amazing!
I didn’t expect the captain to think so far ahead.
He was already planning for the next turn right from the opening!”
“According to Magikey Dragon’s effect, because your monsters were destroyed, I can draw one card.”
With a single glance, Kazumo immediately slapped down the card he had drawn.
“I activate the Continuous Spell Card, Piercing the Darkness!
Then I reveal another Mafteal in my hand and activate its effect.
I gain an additional Normal Summon, and I Normal Summon it!”
[Maginificent Magikey Mafteal] Level 4│LIGHT│Fiend│Tuner│1600 ATK
Mafteal’s ram-headed face suddenly popped out directly in front of Tetsu, startling him before it mischievously blinked and hopped back onto Kazumo’s field.
“I activate Mafteal’s effect on the field!
Special Summon the other Mafteal from my Graveyard!”
“Go!
Release the hidden power of the demonic fiend!”
The Mafteal and Clavkiys on the field transformed into two streams of light, opening the jewel gate radiating crimson light in the sky.
Synchro Summon!
[Magikey Fiend – Transfurlmine] Level 8│FIRE│Thunder│2800 ATK
“Now, the effect of the Dog Tag in my hand activates!
I Special Summon it to the field in Defense Position!”
[S-Force Dog Tag] Level 5│LIGHT│Machine│2100 DEF
The two-headed mechanical police hound appeared on the field in a defensive stance.
“Now this-”
“It’s nothing more than another wall.”
Kazumo interrupted Tetsu’s words.
“To me, it makes no difference.”
“Arrogant fool!
What else can you possibly do with just those three monsters on your field?
Your tricks end here!
Next turn will be your death!”
“No, you no longer have a next turn.”
Kazumo declared his victory.
“The formula for victory has been completed!”
“Hahahaha!
Stop bluffing over there!
If you can do it, then show me!”
Amidst Tetsu’s wild laughter, Kazumo merely responded with a smile.
In the next moment, a blue-and-purple data storm also erupted around the orange D-Wheel.
This D-Wheel created through the power of the Earthbound Immortal could also summon a Link Circuit!
“Appear!
The circuit that guides the future!”
As Kazumo called out, the Link Circuit frame appeared before his D-Wheel.
“Nani?!” ×3
“How could lower district trash like you possibly gain access to the Data Network?!”
“Arrows confirmed!
The Summoning conditions are 1 LIGHT Fiend monster!”
“I set the other Mafteal on my field into the bottom Link Arrow!”
Link Summon!
[Fiendsmith’s Requiem] Link-1│LIGHT│Fiend│600 ATK
An intense sense of unease continuously welled up in Tetsu’s heart, but Kazumo had no intention of caring about his feelings.
“I activate Requiem’s effect!
Tribute itself to Special Summon Fiendsmith Engraver from my Deck!”
“Next, I activate Requiem’s second effect!
Equip it from the Graveyard to Engraver as an Equip Card that raises Attack by 600!”
[Fiendsmith Engraver, ATK: 1800 → 2400]
A wild-looking man with red hair, a bare chest, and a black-and-red vest appeared while carrying his enormous “living” coffin.
The giant eye at the center of the coffin rolled once before staring directly at Tetsu, while the gaping mouth beneath it looked ready to devour someone whole.
“Battle!”
“Magikey Fiend, attack!”
The red-skinned demon with white hair and twin horns gathered flames into two long spears before hurling them toward the opposing monsters.
[Magikey Fiend – Transfurlmine, ATK: 2800 → 4300]
Both S-Force Dog Tag and S-Force Edge Razor on Tetsu’s field were destroyed.
[Tetsu, LP: 8000 → 5200]
“How is this possible?!”
“Magikey Fiend can attack monsters twice.
That’s an effect that doesn’t need to activate.”
“And what is with that Attack power?!”
Tetsu roared unwillingly.
“Piercing the Darkness’s effect.
When a monster summoned using a Normal Monster as material battles, it gains Attack equal to the opposing monster’s Attack.”
“This is the end!”
The green demonic dragon unleashed flames while the savage blacksmith hurled the coffin from his back.
“Infernal Summoning Flame Shot!”
“Gah!
Bwah!”
“W-Wait!
I actually lost to trash?!”
[Tetsu, LP: 5200 → 2400 → 0]
A massive explosion instantly engulfed Tetsu.
“Captain!”
The two officers cried out in alarm.
Tetsu Trudge was defeated!
The police D-Wheel’s onboard display immediately flashed a giant “Defeat” warning.
Its braking system activated at once–air ducts opened from the front and both sides of the D-Wheel, spraying out massive amounts of white steam produced by the emergency cooling brakes.
Relying on his driving skill, Tetsu barely managed to stabilize the abruptly braking D-Wheel, narrowly avoiding a crash.
However, when he regained control and looked back toward the highway, the orange D-Wheel had already disappeared without a trace.
