Chapter 1380 Similar Power

"The effect of 'The Beginning of the End': Draw three cards from your deck!"

Watching Edward violently draw cards in one go, instantly replenishing his hand, IV curled his lip in displeasure.

After drawing the card, Edward's lips curled up slightly as he looked up and said, "CNO. is indeed a monster with terrifying power. However, although I don't have the power of chaos, my heroes of destiny have similar powers."

IV frowned slightly: "What?"

"Activate the Spell Card 'Fusion' from your hand!"

Ed raised the magic card in his hand, and a spiral-shaped fusion vortex appeared above his head.

"I will merge 'Destiny Hero - The Righteous One' and 'Destiny Hero - Blood Demon D' from my hand!"
Guided by the blood of destiny, the final knight who tears through the darkness has now descended! Fusion Summon—

—Dragon Knight D: End!!!

Two beams of light suddenly blazed forth, and the figures of "Destiny Hero - The Doctriner" and "Destiny Hero - Blood Demon D" gradually blurred in the light. Their souls seemed to transcend boundaries and intertwine at this moment. A deep and majestic dragon roar resounded within the light, shaking the space. The two strongest Destiny Heroes merged into a new knight. The warrior, clad entirely in jet-black armor, was like the deepest nightmare in the night. A lifelike dragon head was embedded in his chest, its eyes gleaming with a deep red light. A pair of enormous bone wings slowly unfolded on his back, like a cloak, each flap carrying the aura of death, with faint, eerie blue flames flickering between the wing bones.

His right hand held a silver blade, its blade gleaming with a cold light, seemingly capable of slicing through the void. His left hand held a ferocious dragon head inherited from Blood Demon D, its scales shimmering with metallic luster, and faint traces of blood vapor occasionally emanating from its mouth.

Dragon Knight-D: End, Summon!
[Dragon Knight - D Finisher, Attack Power 3000]

"Three thousand attack power, that's not bad." IV showed no fear at the arrival of D, and instead laughed, "But you don't think that level can defeat my serial killer, do you?"

"Just so you know, CNO., like other NOs, cannot be destroyed by battles with monsters other than NOs!"

In other words, even if the Dragon Knight's D-Terminator attacks, it will only deal a negligible 500 damage. However, in the next turn, the Mechanical Puppet - Serial Killer can easily destroy the D-Terminator and instantly deal a massive 3000 damage. Finally, a direct attack is added, and even if Edward has returned to 4700 HP, he cannot withstand this one-turn kill.

This is what makes CNO. terrifying—a dreadful power that can instantly annihilate an opponent, even stifling their chance to retaliate.

But Edward smiled confidently: "I've said it before, my hero of destiny also has similar power to your No. 1."

Activate the effect of Dragon Knight-D: Endgame! Once per turn, you can destroy 1 monster your opponent controls and inflict damage to your opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK!

IV's expression changed at this moment: "What?!"

The monster's destruction is combined with its attack power. It really is the same type of effect as his.

"NO. It can only ignore combat destruction. It should work if it's effect destruction!" Edward said. "Dragon Knight - D Termination, destroy 'CNO15. Mechanical Puppet - Serial Killer'!"

The dragon head on the right hand of the Dragon Knight-D suddenly opened its crimson eyes, its jaws slowly opening, and chaotic energy distorting space surged from the depths of its throat. With a roar that shattered glass, a torrent of purplish-black flames erupted. The moment the mechanical puppet, Serial Killer, was touched by the flames, its adamantite armor began to melt like wax. The purplish-black flames devoured every inch of the puppet's mechanical structure. Dozens of pillars of fire burst from within the puppet's body, gears and bearings twisted and shattered under the intense heat, and hydraulic oil scattering in all directions as burning meteors.

"Then I'll give you the attack power of a serial killer, 2500 points of damage!" Edward said. "It's over, Otherworldly being!"

IV let out another earth-shattering roar and played another card in the back row: "Counter Trap - Damage Polarized Shield!"
The damage dealt by the card's effect is reduced to 0, then both players draw one card from their decks!

A circular, polarized shield, as smooth as a mirror, appeared in the void and stood in the center of the arena. Crimson flames violently struck the barrier, scattering outwards and dissipating the damage along with it.

"You blocked it, but that means your CNO. is destroyed." Edward drew a card using the Polarized Shield effect and said, "But unfortunately, Dragon Knight - D-Ender doesn't have the power of your Serial Killer. I can't take the Battle Phase the turn D-Ender activated its effect. You've escaped with your life."

IV also drew a card, glared at him angrily, and said nothing.

Ed glanced at the card he had drawn and said, "Then my turn is over."

He chuckled as he spoke.

"Well, now your trump card has been countered. Xyz Monsters are powerful, but it seems they all require 'Xyz Materials' to activate their effects."

If you simply revive a monster from the graveyard using a card like 'Monster Resurrection,' it's just a vanilla card with no Xyz materials. So once it's removed, it's very difficult to revive, right?

IV frowns.

This guy, who clearly seems to be encountering an Xyz Monster for the first time, has already figured out its weakness so quickly. It turns out there are such formidable duelists in the Fusion Dimension.

but
"My turn, draw a card."

IV.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Hand Elimination'. Both players discard all cards in their hand, and then draw the same number of cards from their decks."

Both sides exchanged cards again.

“At that moment, the effect of the spell card ‘Compensation Card’ that I just discarded activated,” IV said. “This card was discarded from my hand to the graveyard, and I drew two cards from my deck.”

After replacing and replenishing his hand, IV coldly remarked.

"you are right."

Edward: "What?"

"Once an Xyz Monster is defeated, it is very difficult for it to be resurrected from the graveyard. Even if it is resurrected, it is just an empty shell without any materials, and it is difficult for it to play a role again."

IV paused for a moment, then made another exaggerated expression and shouted.

"But this old man has more than just one number as his trump card!"

Edward was slightly startled.

He remembered seeing intelligence within the Hanno organization stating that NO. was a card bound to the soul, having a backlash effect on the holder. For most people, possessing even one card at a time was the limit.

But this guy's tone makes it sound like he has more than one NO.?
"I activate the effect of 'Goblin Blood Doll' in my hand!" IV said. "By revealing one 'Goblin' Xyz Monster from my Extra Deck to my opponent, I can Special Summon one 'Goblin' Monster from my Deck with the same Level as the revealed monster! And Special Summon this card from my hand as well!"
