Chapter 1839 Normal Summoning of Aleister—

Heine felt he had done his best.

The two [Witchcraft Craftsman Tailor Heine] provide her own Spellcaster monsters with resistance to being targeted by effects, and the Continuous Spell Card [Witchcraft Alley] has the ability to prevent her [Witchcraft] monsters from being destroyed by battle or effects once per turn.

When combined, it's practically equivalent to all five of her [Witchcraft] spells gaining "Might Resistance"!

There's also the second effect of [Witchcraft Craftsman - Tailor Heine]. Although it's limited to once per turn by the card name, it can be activated during the opponent's turn. You can discard a Spell Card from your hand to target and destroy a card on the opponent's field.

As the [Witchcraft Substitute Master], my third ability, which I didn't use in the previous turn, is also to destroy cards. It can be triggered by the activation of other Spellcaster monster effects. The advantage over me as [Witchcraft Craftsman - Tailor Heine] is that this effect can destroy any card on the field without targeting.

Then, the other two [Witchcraft Artisans] on your field can also activate their respective effects by liberating themselves and discarding spell cards from Heine's hand, summoning other [Witchcraft] Artisans from the deck to assist in the battle, and further triggering the effect of [Witchcraft Artisan - Tailor Heine] to achieve resource utilization.

How do you say "invincible"?
(Heine's expression: like)
"Hehehe~" Just thinking about how amazing he was, Heine stood there grinning like an idiot.

Hayato glanced at the five Spellcaster monsters on the opponent's field and then at the Quick-Play Spell Card in his own hand.

Attention everyone, keep your lips from turning up in a smile! I know it's difficult, but it's an order!

Hayato, struggling to suppress his laughter, nearly turned into a clown, and looking at Heine, he tried his best to remain calm, saying, "Is the round over? So strong, too strong! This invincible lineup is impossible to break through. We can't win! How are we supposed to beat this?"

"My turn, draw." Hayato drew a card, and finally couldn't help but smirk, declaring his "suppressing laughter challenge" a failure. Without hesitation, he played the card from his hand, saying, "Now, during my preparation phase after drawing, I will activate this Quick-Play Spell Card in my hand, [Super Polymerization]!"

"A spell card with a speed of 2? Sounds like a fusion card?" Heine tilted his head, looking curiously at the extraordinary-looking card that was wrapped in lightning that appeared on Hayato's field.

"That's one way to put it, but the special thing about [Super Polymerization] is that you can't use monsters from my hand, graveyard, or deck as fusion material monsters; you can only use monsters on the field."

After a pause, Hayato discarded a card to the graveyard. "However, its activation requires me to discard a card from my hand as Cost, so its effect is naturally not that simple. This is because its effect uses monsters on the field as Fusion Material, and this 'field' is not limited to my field but also includes the opponent's field!"

"W-What!?" Heine's expression changed drastically. Looking at his companions who also showed surprise, he bit his lip. "The legendary 'Great Sage of the Codex' possessed the [Summoning Magic] that could control the power of others as well. Could this [Hyperfusion] be related to it as well?"

"No, Alai's power isn't at that level yet. [Hyperfusion] is the ultimate power, far surpassing mere [Summoning Magic]!" Hayato said, seeing Heine reaching for a card on the Duel Disk, intending to activate it, and directly reminded her, "Also, don't try any useless methods. Like I said, the ultimate power released by [Hyperfusion] is almost impossible to counter!"

"When [Super Polymerization] is activated, neither player can chain any Spell, Trap, or Monster effect to activate it!"

As Hayato said, although Heine still stubbornly flipped over the cards in the back row to try to do something and chained the activation of the Spell Card [Super Polymerization] to use the effect of [Witchcraft Substitute Master], the power of [Super Polymerization] sealed off all her card and effect activations. The "ultimate power" that destroyed and unified everything enveloped the entire field!

—To be precise, it completely locked down the five Spellcaster monsters on Heine's field!

"Under the power of [Super Polymerization], I will use all five Spellcaster-Type monsters on my opponent's field as Fusion Material." Hayato waved his hand, "LV-MAX! The ultimate physique! Descend, ultimate fivefold power!"

"Make your long-awaited return, [Five-Array Magician]!"

Thunder enveloped all five magicians on the field, including Heine himself, with the power of [Super Fusion]. Under the gaze of Heine, who was blasted out of the field as a duelist after retiring from his Duel Monster state, five beams of light converged into one place and then unfolded a five-fold magic circle. Under the summoning spell unfolded by the resonating five magic circles, a magic master with a cold face appeared!

[Five-Element Magician] [12☆/Dark]

[Mage Race/Fusion/Effect]

[4500/4500]

"Wait, wait, level 12!?"

Although the level of a Duel Monster is not absolutely tied to its card strength, in the world of card spirits, there is often a rule that the stronger the existence, the higher its level. When the level 12☆ [Five-Array Magician] stood there, Heine looked at him as if she had seen God descend to earth, and even started to stutter when she spoke—although she already had a slight stutter due to social anxiety.

"The Fusion Material requirement for 【Five Magician】 is five Spellcaster-Type monsters. It cannot be Special Summoned without Fusion Summoning. However, if it is successfully Fusion Summoned, it can activate its effect to destroy all cards on the opponent's field—" Seeing Heine's face turn pale with fright, Hayato didn't tease her any further and added, "—but the prerequisite is that it must use five different Spellcaster-Type monsters as Fusion Material during the Fusion Summoning."

"Because you summoned multiple 'selves', even though I used [Super Polymerization] to clear all the monsters on your field, the first effect couldn't be activated. You got a spare life."

"Is that so? That's great." Heine breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly realized something else. "No, that's not right! Even if my back row cards weren't wiped out, weren't all my [Witchcraft] cards wiped out? And [Five-Element Magician] has an attack power of 4500 points, my Life Points can't withstand a single attack!" "That's right, so—why not activate your back row cards? The appearance of [Five-Element Magician] at least doesn't have the same kind of restriction as [Super Polymerization] that prevents you from activating even a single card, so your back row cards can still be activated smoothly."

Hearing Hayato's advice, he raised an eyebrow and picked up a card, saying, "Well, you're right. Then I'll chain the Special Summon of [Five-Element Magician] to activate this face-down card on my back field—the Quick-Play Spell Card [Demonstration of Witchcraft]."

Heine, playing the card, said with a hint of pride, "Our [Witchcraft] Workshop also has the power to avoid being chained, you know. It's the power of this [Witchcraft Demonstration] card—under this card's effect, I can Special Summon a [Witchcraft] monster from my hand, and during the turn it's Special Summoned by this effect, my opponent cannot activate the effects of Spell/Trap/Monsters in response to the effects of my Spellcaster monsters!"

"I will also activate another card simultaneously, the Trap Card [Dead Soul Fusion], which banishes two copies of myself from my Graveyard—[Witchcraft Substitute Master] and [Witchcraft Craftsman Tailor Heine]—face-down as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck. As a trade-off, the monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack this turn."

"I Special Summon [Witchcraft Substitute Master], which is myself, and Special Summon the third copy of myself from my hand—[Witchcraft Artisan Tailor Heine]—by the effect of [Witchcraft Demonstration]!"

Among the three cards Heine held in her hand, the last card was none other than herself. The card that was Special Summoned by [Dead Soul Fusion] was her as the "Crystallization Master". It can be said that although her deck did not include the eldest sister of the [Witchcraft] family due to the absence of Vera, at least the cards that she herself represented were full, probably all of them, with three copies each.

[Heine: 4000LP, hand 3→2]

[Witchcraft Substitute Master] [DEF2800]

[Witchcraft Craftsman - Tailor Heine] [DEF1000]

Back row: [Witch's Alley] [Face Card] x2
It's worth mentioning that [Witchcraft Craftsman - Tailor Heine] was placed on the field in attack position by Heine in the previous turn, but this turn, after seeing the [Five-Element Magician] with an attack power of "one [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]", which is a full 4500 points, she immediately decided to place it on the field in defense position to reduce the damage it might take.

Because the lineup was wiped out by [Super Polymerization], although Heine has now managed to put two more monsters on the field at the cost of two face-down cards, the fact that there is only one [Witchcraft Craftsman Tailor Heine] has reduced the resistance it provides and created a flaw. Although [Witchcraft Substitute Master] is protected, its existence itself has become a card that Hayato can target.

Regardless, Heine's ability to continue fighting despite the pressure of the monsters being instantly relieved is enough for Hayato to think highly of her.

Unfortunately, while Duel Monsters is very idealistic, it is also quite realistic at times. For example, Hayato only used two cards to clear Heine's field because of the "Treasure Card from Heaven" from the previous turn. Although he only drew one card, he still had a full five cards in his hand.

In Duel Monsters, the cards that can be played are the real resources.

"Not bad, you summoned two more monsters on the field? Well then, I'll show off my 'Resource Turnaround' combo. Since I said I'm playing a 'pure Spellcaster' deck, how can I be without this card?" Hayato said, flipping out the card. "This turn, my Normal Summon is in Attack Position—[Summoner - Aleister]!"

【小林隼人：4000LP，手牌6→7→5→4】

Upon hearing Hayato call his name, Heine's hard-won, resolute expression froze on his face. Incredulous at what he had just heard, he blinked and asked, "Mr. Hayato, what... what did you say?"

"How come I still run into 'Holy Letter D' in another world?" Hayato raised an eyebrow and put the card down. "If you can't hear me clearly, then I'll just sing it—Normal Summon Aleister, Effect Search Summoning Magic~"

Standing before Hayato, though unwilling, he had to appear since Hayato had already put down the card. The young man, wearing a large white mage's robe, pulled up his hood to cover his green hair, his magic book and wand tucked under his arm: "I really have a capricious Master. How unfortunate."

"Isn't it you, Alai, who's awkwardly avoiding appearing in front of anyone who might know you, who's even more willful?" Hayato retorted. "You used to say you were fully prepared to take responsibility for your past actions, but in the end, you turned out to be a cowardly lizard?"

"Because I thought it was just empty talk at the time, and although running away is shameful, it is indeed effective." Taking a deep breath, Alai looked around and showed a relieved expression. "However, since you, Master, have forcefully dragged me out of 'Ten-Iwato,' I have no choice but to accompany you in announcing my return to my hometown in a grand manner."

"—The Great Sage with the title 'Codex', the original author of the 103,000 volumes of the 'Index of Magic', the captain of the 'Aleister and His Friends' team who once saved the world, the master of summoning magic, Aleister Crowley, now returns to the world as 'Summoner-Aleister'!"

[Summoner - Aleister] [4☆/Dark]

[Mage Race/Effect]

[1000/1800]

With a casual toss of the [Civil Codex] into the air, Alai slammed one end of his wand, named "Aivas," into the ground. The large barrier, maintained and reinforced with multiple restrictions and self-restraints by the six [Magicians] working together, shattered instantly, like glass, failing to block the magic released by Alai. The broken barrier caused the magic flowing within to explode, blasting all the surrounding [Magicians] away!
Among them, the most powerful mage, Juno, was the only one who didn't faint on the spot. Even the slightly weaker mage, Ampur, couldn't last a second. She struggled to lift her head and looked at Aleister, her expression filled with horror: "It really is... the 'Magic Codex'—Aleister Crowley!?"

"If you can, it's okay if you help me fill in some honorary titles I don't remember, I can handle it." As if throwing caution to the wind, or perhaps having broken through his psychological defenses and returned to his usual self, Alai said flippantly, even winking at the fallen [Mage-Juno], before completing the new spell at his feet. "But now—I'm going to have the rare opportunity to recreate my specialty, [Summoning Magic], in this world once again!"

Pulling the wand up and pointing it into the air, the blue magic circle that had broken through the [Magic] barrier detached from the ground and was thus imprinted in the air without needing to rely on anything else, waiting to be fueled and officially activated.
