Chapter 1669 Kulibo, save me!
"Let the earth shake! [Cenozoic fossil dragon - Skeleton Rock Wall Dragon]!"

[Cenozoic fossil dragon-Skull Rock Wall Dragon] [4☆/land]

[Rock/Fusion/Effect]

[2500/0]

By banishing another card from the Kagurazaka Cemetery, GM once again Fusion Summoned a powerful monster at the cost of a card in his hand - if the [Cenozoic Fossil Dragon - Skeleton Rock Wall Dragon] with only 2500 attack points can be considered a powerful monster.

Kagurazaka didn't dare to gamble, and judging from the two monsters summoned by Jim through fusion, [Paleozoic] and [Cenozoic], it was obvious that [Cenozoic] sounded more "new", so even if its level was a bit lower, it might be stronger than the [Paleozoic Fossil Motor Vehicle - Skeleton Truck] just now?
and so--

"This time, I won't even give you a chance to appear!" As [Cenozoic Fossil Dragon - Skeleton Rock Wall Dragon] emerged from the fusion vortex, Kagurazaka had already pressed the button to activate the cover card, "Chain the opponent's monster's Fusion Summon, and activate the Trap Card [Purgatory's Pitfall]!"

"You can only activate this when your opponent Special Summons a monster with an ATK of 2000 or more. Select that monster with an ATK of 2000 or more, negate its effect, and destroy it!"

Although Jim still has two cards in the backfield, if there were cards that could counter it, Jim would not have released [Paleozoic Fossil Vehicle - Skeleton Truck] just now. In Kagurazaka's expectation, the cover card in his backfield should not be able to link with the activation of his [Purgatory's Pit]. In other words, under the effect of [Purgatory's Pit] that does not take a target, the [Cenozoic Fossil Dragon - Skeleton Rock Wall Dragon] with an unknown effect will be invalidated and destroyed. There is no doubt about this!
And that was indeed the case. Jim did not chain Kagurazaka's operation to open any cards, and it seemed that there was no Quick-Play Magic Card in the remaining two cards in his hand that could keep up with the chain. He could only watch helplessly as the Fusion Monster he had just played was destroyed once again and sent to the Graveyard.

But at this moment, before Kagurazaka could say anything, Jim smiled and said, "Yeah, so returning the fossils to the ground really adds to the troublesome workload for archaeologists. But fortunately, this is Duel Monsters, so I am not bothered by this. On the contrary, your operation has helped me a lot, Kagurazaka Boy~"

"The second effect of [Fossil Fusion] can only be activated when a face-up [Fossil] Fusion Monster on my field is destroyed, and I can add this [Fossil Fusion] in my Graveyard back to my hand!"

Under Kagurazaka's surprised gaze, GM retrieved the [Fossil Fusion] in the graveyard and activated it again, saying, "Then let's do it again! I will activate [Fossil Fusion] for the third time, and banish the monsters in both graveyards as fusion materials!"

"Archaeological target confirmed, material requirements are Rock-type monsters plus monsters of level 7☆ or higher. I exclude the [Fossil Dinosaur - Pachycephalosaur] in my graveyard and the [Paleozoic Fossil Motor Vehicle - Skeleton Truck] in my graveyard!"

"Heroic Paleozoic! Turn the blood engraved in our bones into weapons and fight on the sand!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 8☆!"

As Jim put the card down, in the fusion vortex, the dinosaur fossils were forged into armor and worn on the warrior's body. He drew out the long sword in his hand and pointed it into the air, and a devil-like warrior appeared on Jim's field!

"Announce your presence! [Paleozoic Fossil Knight - Skeleton King]!"

[Paleozoic Fossil Knight-Skeleton King] [8☆/land]

[Rock/Fusion/Effect]

[2800/1300]

"Surprisingly, another fusion monster!" Kagurazaka looked at Jim in surprise, who had already performed three fusions in this turn. It was obvious that the opponent only had one card in his hand before the start of his turn, but he still performed three fusions despite the interference of his backfield cover cards. It was obvious that Fusion Summoning was a very wasteful summoning method.

"But, no matter which one, 'Knight', 'Dragon', or 'Motor Vehicle', can it really be related to ancient creatures?" After complaining, Kagurazaka said, "But no matter what, my [Shining Dragon] still has higher attack power!"

"That's right, but my fusion is not over yet. You know, my third fusion is still carried out using the second [Fossil Fusion], and the third [Fossil Fusion] is still sleeping in my deck and has not been dug out." Jim pointed at his deck and said, "And now, I will use the effect of [Cenozoic Fossil Dragon - Skeleton Rock Wall Dragon] that you destroyed before!"

"To activate this effect, banish this card from my Graveyard, and add a [Fossil Fusion] from my deck to my hand. The card I want to choose is this third [Fossil Fusion]!"

Adding the last [Fossil Fusion] from the deck to his hand, GM showed another card in his hand and said, "Next is this Spell Card [Specimen Reading]. You can activate it by showing a [Fossil Fusion] in my hand to the opponent. I send a monster from my hand to the Graveyard and declare one of each race and level."

"I send the [Shell Knight] in my hand to the Graveyard and declare it a Dragon and Level 8☆."

Pointing at Kagurazaka, GM said, "Then, next, your opponent will check their hand and deck. If there is a monster that matches the race and level I declared, they must send one of them to the Graveyard!"

"Tsk." Hearing Jim's words, Kagurazaka reluctantly took out a card from his deck and said, "Then I will send [Giant Dragon - Shining] to the graveyard - but I guess he won't stay in the graveyard for long."

"That's absolutely right." Jim smiled and retracted the displayed [Fossil Fusion] and said, "But before activating the fourth [Fossil Fusion], the effect of [Shell Knight] in my graveyard will take effect first."

"If this card is sent to the Graveyard by an effect, I can activate this effect. I can add a Rock-Type Level 8☆ monster from my Deck to my hand. If there is a [Fossil Fusion] in my Graveyard, I can Special Summon it without adding it to my hand. However, I cannot activate the effects of that card or cards with the same name during this turn."

The deck area of ​​the duel disk automatically retrieved a card, which was drawn by Jim and placed on the duel disk. "And I choose to Special Summon this card in Attack Position on my field!"

"The earth nurtures all life, and life also engraves everything from birth to death on this earth. Now, transform into a giant and lend me your power, Gaia——!"

"【Earth Giant-Gaia Plate】!"

[Earth Giant-Gaia Plate] [8☆/Earth]

【Rock family/effect】

[2800/1000] As a giant made purely of rock appears on Jim's field, his last card is played and [Fossil Fusion] is activated for the fourth time. Before Jim's cards are activated, Kagurazaka already knows which cards he is going to exclude.

"Confirmed archaeological target, material requirements are Rock monsters plus Level 7☆ or higher monsters in the opponent's graveyard. I banish [Shell Knight] in my graveyard and [Giant Dragon - Shine] at Level 8☆ in the opponent's graveyard. Additional value confirmed! When banishing monsters in both parties' graveyards as fusion materials, the fusion monster will not be targeted by monster effects!"

“The heroic Paleozoic Era! Unearth the former wildness and violence from the bones, and stand tall above the sands again!”

"Fusion Summon, Level 8☆!"

This time, there are no more messy elements such as metal transformation, internal combustion engines, armor, etc. In the fusion vortex unfolded by [Fossil Fusion], the huge Tyrannosaurus Rex composed only of fossils walked out slowly with heavy steps, pure and powerful!
“Roar, hunt, and slaughter! [Paleozoic Fossil Dragon-Skeleton Demon-Slaying Dragon]!”

[Paleozoic fossil dragon-Skeleton Demon Slayer Dragon] [8☆/land]

[Rock/Fusion/Effect]

[3500/0]

"That's it!" Before anyone else could react, Jianshan said excitedly, "Finally, finally there are pure dinosaurs. This is what I want to see!"

"Although, the opponent is still a Rock Tribe." Marufuji Sho pierced Kenzan's fantasy and said, "Now Kenzan, you are just like someone who misjudged the race because of the appearance and wanted to fuse five monsters that are not Dragon Tribe at all into the [Five Divine Dragons]."

"Urusai! Senior's voice is too sharp!"

With nothing in his hand, Jim's lineup on the field is now -

【吉姆·克洛克达尔·库克：4000LP，手牌3→2→3→1→0】

[Paleozoic Fossil Knight-Skeleton King] [ATK2800]

[Paleozoic fossil dragon-Skeleton Demon Slayer Dragon] [ATK3500]

[Earth Giant - Gaia Plate] [ATK2800]

Backcourt: [Cover] x2
Kagurazaka looked at the monsters on his field and thought, "The most suitable targets for the opponent's monsters should be these [Nightmare Demon Tokens], right? The battle damage they caused to me is only 3100 points, and if the effect damage is included, it is 5500 points, which is enough to clear my basic points."

"But - the cards I drew earlier with [Super Regeneration Ability] have cards that can be used during the opponent's attack!"

After looking at the card in his hand, Kagurazaka raised his head and confidently looked into the eyes of the one-eyed Jim and said, "Is this the end of the development? Then the next step is your battle phase, right?"

"Oh? You should have been able to calculate that if my monster ignores your [Shining Dragon] and [Dragon Paladin] and attacks [Nightmare Demon Token], it will be able to clear your basic points, right?" Jim was also interested when he saw the confident smile on Kagurazaka's face that didn't seem fake.

"What's wrong?" Kagurazaka smiled and said as if imitating someone, "Anyway, there will always be a way."

"There are no cards in the backfield, and the monsters on the field have no effects that can be used. So is it the cards in the hand or the cards in the graveyard? It's better to give it a try than to talk about it. Anyway, I will know the answer after I attack once!" Jim said, waving his hand, "First, the attack of [Paleozoic Fossil Knight-Skeleton King] - the target is the first [Nightmare Demon Token]!"

"Royal Blade!"

[Paleozoic Fossil Knight - Skeleton King] raised his sword high and slashed at [Nightmare Demon Token] in attack mode. Although its attack power is 2000 points, which is relatively higher than the combat damage caused by [Dragon Paladin] with an attack power of 1700 points, don't forget that when [Nightmare Demon Token] is destroyed, it can also add 800 points of effect damage to Kagurazaka. Overall, attacking [Nightmare Demon Token] is more cost-effective!
At the same time when [Paleozoic Fossil Knight - Skeleton King] took action, without waiting for the attack of [Paleozoic Fossil Dragon - Skeleton Demon Slayer Dragon] with higher attack power to use his "trump card", Kagurazaka suddenly said: "In the past, among the many duels that I imitated with my imitation ability, there was only one duel that squeezed my imitation ability to the extreme."

"That's because the deck used by the opponent I imitated required too high a dueling skill. Even if I tried my best to imitate him, I could only use less than half of his ability. It was after that that I realized the limit of my own ability. Then, I came up with this hybrid form that does not accept everything and completely imitate, but instead piece together the parts that each duelist is good at and imitate them partially - in a sense, this is my unique 'fusion'!"

Taking out a card and sending it to the cemetery, Kagurazaka continued, "And now I suddenly mention this because I am explaining that in addition to the duelists whose names I listed earlier, there is another legendary duelist known only to the students of the Duel Academy who saw me duel that night, and he is also within the scope of my imitation!"

"Other cards are difficult to obtain, but this card is not too expensive, so even I can afford it. When the opponent's monster attacks and I am about to take battle damage, I discard this card in my hand to activate its effect!"

"Kuribo, save me!"

A monster flew out from Kagurazaka's hand, accurately blocking the overflow damage of [Nightmare Demon Token] after being slashed by [Paleozoic Fossil Knight - Skeleton King]. It was not any other monster, but the well-known "small monster" [Kuriko]!
"It's actually a chestnut ball!?"

Jim was surprised for a moment when he saw that the card played by his opponent was [Kuribana], but he easily accepted it. After all, although it was one of the favorite cards of the legendary duelist Yugi Muto, [Kuribana] was not a very rare card - on the contrary, there was only one [Rainbow Kuribana] in the world of the duel king Hayato Kobayashi, and this card with two effects combined had the strength of a modern card.

"It's true that [Kuri Ball] can reduce the combat damage to 0, but you still need to bear the effect damage caused by the destruction of [Nightmare Demon Token]!"

[Kagurazaka Souji: 5000→4200 LP, hand 3→2]
