Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 742 I'm an Expert (9K views, please vote!)

DDD Raging Tide King Decision Caesar, Rank 6, Water Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 2800, Xyz Material 2.
"DDD?" Tierra still remembered this series quite well. "Isn't this the card used by Akama Zero-Oh? What's its effect?"

Hikaru Amagi nodded: "This monster is quite powerful. When you activate a Monster Effect/Spell/Trap Card that Special Summons a monster, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it. After that, this card and 1 DD monster you control gain 1800 ATK until the end of this turn."

"Two overloads of material, that's two times, right..." Tiera raised an eyebrow, "That's pretty impressive..."

Hikaru Amagi also agrees.

The decision-making process of Caesar, which only requires two level 6 demon monsters to stack, is mostly used to "prevent meteors".

But for many decks, the biggest problem really is "G" and "Meteor".

The ability to quickly formulate Caesar's decisions is already a very good preparation for taking the initiative.

"...Hiss, is this the effect?" The Lightbringer Monk looked troubled. "Lord Hikari used a fusion tactic specializing in fusion magic, not Synchro or Xyz. In that case, wouldn't he be at a significant disadvantage when facing Caesar of Decision?"

The knights were also somewhat worried.

It had witnessed Amagi Hikari's duel firsthand—at that time, the Dark Realm was bound to the critical dimension. As one of the very few Dark Realm spirits that had been recognized, it was fortunate enough to have seen the GX tournament and had some understanding of Amagi Hikari's "ultimate fusion".

With just one card, Caesar, you can counter both of Hikari's Fusion Cards!

Tierra, however, showed absolutely no sign of nervousness.

If that's all there is to it, it's not enough to worry her.

As if reflecting her thoughts, the overlord of the Dark Demon Realm slowly took out another card.

A foolish burial.

Choose one monster card from your deck and send it to the graveyard.

The next second, the overlord of the Dark Demon Realm appeared in its graveyard.

Did you send yourself to the cemetery?

It seems that it is quite aware of its own physical condition.

Then, this overlord of the Dark Realm set two cards face down and ended its turn.

"Uh... ah..."

As the round ended, the words on the contract gradually merged into its body, becoming inscribed on its form. This both amplified its power and, like a rope, contracted wildly, binding its strength.

It let out a series of painful growls, but could not stop the contract from taking effect.

Hikaru Amagi pondered for a moment.

He asked the knight from the Dark Realm beside him to repeat the contents of the contract again; this time, he wanted to hear the complete version.

As the contents of the contract were explained, Hikaru Amagi drew cards from his deck.

At that very moment, the overlord of the Dark Realm on the opposite side activated his overwrite card.

"Hoah——"

A trap card gleaming with gold was slowly flipped open.

On the card, two monsters are circling around a flash of light, twisting and turning.

"Huh, what's this?" Tiera couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the card.

Judging from the card art, this trap card is undoubtedly a fusion of trap cards!
However, Tiera had never seen this card before!

It wasn't that Tierra was overconfident or dared to guarantee that she knew a lot about duels, but she knew very well that Amagi Hikaru had a large number of Fusion Spell Cards. Many Fusion Spell Cards that were out of stock or didn't exist on the market could be found at Amagi Hikaru's place. In fact, Amagi Hikaru's Super Fusion would occasionally give her some special and brand-new Fusion Cards.

Not only her, but many people, including elves, believe that Hikari Amagi possesses all the Fusion Magic Cards in the world.

But today, she unexpectedly saw a fusion trap that she had no recollection of at all.

“It’s Soul Fusion.” Amagi Hikaru saw the card and immediately realized, “It’s a Fusion Trap Card that costs 1000 Life Points to banish Fusion Materials from the Graveyard and perform a fusion.”

"Isn't that an upgraded version of the fusion of dead souls?" Tiera immediately came to the answer.

It even sounds like the end phase of the round won't be destroyed?

This is much better than Soul Fusion – Soul Fusion banishes materials from the graveyard face down and then fuses them. Because it's face down, banished cards have a very low chance of being recovered.

Regardless, in the graveyard, the Dragon God of the Dark Realm twisted his body and began to merge with the Overlord of the Dark Demon Realm in the graveyard.

Their fusion was less like the fusion between monsters and more like a direct patchwork, gradually transforming into a twisted four-legged demon under the power of the contract.

The overlord of the Dark Realm, LP: 4000 → 3000.
Grafa, the Dragon God King of the Dark Realm, Level 10, Dark Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 3200.
"Hmm... this is a bit difficult." Tiera looked at the scene, and a serious look finally appeared on her little face.

This situation is not easy to handle.

The Dark Dragon King Grapha can only be activated when the opponent activates a Monster Effect, Normal Spell Card, or Normal Trap Card. That effect becomes "The opponent discards 1 card from their hand."

This is an almost invincible effect because it is a "modification effect" rather than a "preventing activation". Therefore, even monsters with all resistance effects will be very powerless in front of this card.

More importantly, this card also fills in the gap in the range of effects that counter Tidebringer.

Dealing with DDD, the Great King of Raging Waves, directly has become a very troublesome matter.

Hikaru Amagi rubbed his chin, looking at the card in his hand.

"Activate the effect of Fusion in the graveyard, return to the deck, shuffle the deck, and draw a card."

His deck was automatically shuffled, and then a card popped out of the deck.

He picked it up and looked at it.

"While the scope of the lockdown does seem very broad, especially against decks that use [Fusion], the negation of a Special Summon and the modification of an effect are indeed quite powerful. However... there is still a loophole."

“Then, I’ll set the pendulum scale with DD Hound of the 3rd scale.” Hikaru Amagi calmly took out a monster card from his hand and placed it in the pendulum zone.

A blue 3 rose in the sky, and a fierce red hound appeared within the pillar of light.

"Huh, it's actually DD?" Many of the watching Pokémon exclaimed in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Lord Hikari was using the same set of cards as the other party.

Hikaru Amagi wasted no time, picking up DD Hound: "DD Hound's Pendulum effect can be activated by targeting 1 Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz Monster your opponent controls. Negate that monster's effects until the end of the turn. After that, destroy this card in your Pendulum Zone."

"Huh?!" The monk instinctively asked, "Wait, Lord Hikari, isn't the Dragon King of the Dark World able to modify the effects of monster cards?"

"Monsters in the Spell & Trap Zone are not considered monsters in the first place. By the way, the effect of the Dark World Dragon King does not modify the [Monster Card], but rather the [Monster Effect]. These are two different concepts."

Hikaru Amagi raised a finger and explained to them, "If it really is about modifying the effects of monster cards, then even monsters in Spell/Trap status will still be modified."

"But... even if DD Hound is a magic card, it's still within the range of the Dark World's Dragon God King's control, right?" The Dark World Knight was still somewhat puzzled.

"That's because... Pendulum Monster Cards in Pendulum State are not only Spell Cards, but also... similar to Continuous Spell Cards."

Pendulum monsters in the Pendulum Zone are treated as Spell Cards, and—

It is still not considered a Special Spell Card of any type among [Normal], [Continuous], [Field], [Equip], [Quick-Play], and [Ritual]!

Therefore, the Dragon God King cannot negate its effect!

"Ah!" Many elves belatedly realized what was happening.

The effect of the Raging Tide King's Decision Caesar is to block effects that "include Special Summoning of Monsters". The Dragon King's blocking range is the effects of "Monsters, Normal Spells, and Normal Trap". Therefore, Quick Play, Continuous, Field, Equip, and Ritual are all areas that the Dragon King cannot control!
"The effect of the raging waves is ineffective."

"Awooo!" The red hound roared and leaped out of the pendulum pillar of light beside Amagi, biting into the body of the Raging Wave King. A cry of pain rang out, and the Raging Wave King's color turned grayish-white, losing its special ability.

"In this way, the Great King of Raging Waves, who poses the greatest limitation to fusion, will be ineffective." The Lightbringer Monk said excitedly, clenching his fist on the spot.

"However... the problem is that the Dragon God King can still activate the effect."

The effect of the Dragon King is far too powerful, and since it uses a Dark Realm deck, there might be other Dark Realm monsters in the hand... No matter how you look at it, it's pretty bad.

"There's no way to avoid this effect." Hikaru Amagi looked at the card in his hand and shook his head.

His favorite and most invincible "Bright Fusion" card wasn't in his hand, so he couldn't use it to deal with Dragon King directly.

So, at this point, all we can do is "tough it out."

"Activate the Spell Card, Shaddoll Fusion." Amagi Hikaru revealed the key Fusion card in his hand.

If the Shaddoll fusion goes through, he can build up a Shaddoll and a Gem Knight Nafiru, and then it'll be another set of moves, allowing him to easily wipe them out.

But obviously, such good things don't come easily.

The overlord of the Dark Demon Realm raised his hand, and in front of him, the enormous Dragon God King of the Dark Demon Realm roared. With a savage grin, light shone on Shaddoll Fusion, causing the effects on its card text to begin to distort.

This is the power of the Dragon God King!
Your effect is supposed to be "make me throw a card," right?
The overlord of the Dark Realm selects a card from his hand and throws it away with resentment.

"Oh no, it's the Dragon God of the Dark Realm..."

"There really was a second one!"

"I'm afraid all three are in its hands."

The monk's face turned ashen as he said, "Damn it! The Dark World Dragon God can not only destroy the effects of cards when they are discarded to the graveyard, but if the opponent discards them, it can also check the opponent's hand and Special Summon a monster to its own field!"
Even though Lord Hikari's deck is primarily based on fusion and has few monsters, it can still be very bad if his key cards are seen.

"If there are still monsters left, and they are taken away directly, it will be even more dangerous..." The knights of the Dark Realm were also a little nervous.

“Don’t worry so much,” Amagi Hikaru interrupted the two of them. “If it’s the Dragon God, then it doesn’t matter.”

"Eh?"

The only thing that Amagi Hikaru is truly worried about is "Silva, the God of War of the Dark World". The power of the forbidden card should not be underestimated. If the overlord of the Dark World were to throw out a God of War card at this time, he might really have a hard time fighting.

But if it's just about abandoning the Dragon God, then there's absolutely no need to worry.

"The effect of Dark Dragon God Grapha is: If this card is discarded from your hand to the Graveyard by an effect, target 1 card on your opponent's field; destroy that card. If discarded by an opponent's effect, check 1 random card in your opponent's hand. If it is a monster, Special Summon that monster to your field."

"At first glance, being abandoned by the opponent seems quite dangerous, but in reality, this effect is also limited—that is, it must be [destroyed] to be inspected."

The two elves listened, completely bewildered.

"The effect of the Dark Dragon God is an effect that requires processing in layers. First, you need to deal with the destruction effect, and then deal with the effect of randomly checking your hand."

If no cards have been destroyed before the hand is checked, then the Dragon God's subsequent effects will not trigger.

The knight of the dark world opened his eyes wide and came to his senses.

Indeed, the Dragon God's effect is essentially destruction; the subsequent examination of the card's effect is merely a bonus.

If there is no damage, then there is no way to inspect it!
It quickly came to its senses.

Hikari...

Before that, although it knew about Hikari, knew the legend of "Absolute Fusion Master", and even watched Hikaru Amagi participate in the GX tournament and watched many of Hikaru Amagi's matches, it was only on the outside and could not know "Hikari" for sure. It only knew that his duels and his fusion were extremely strong.

But now it seems that its previous understanding of "Hikari" was actually superficial.

Throughout the entire duel, from Hikari's turn until now, he has always had a peculiar attitude that is hard to explain.

He harbored neither hatred nor hostility towards the overlord of the Dark Demon Realm.

Beyond that, Hikari's performance during the duel was even more astonishing.

He knows every card used by the overlord of the Dark Realm, and this knowledge extends beyond just the effects and abilities.

Rather, it's a deeper understanding of the duel itself!
He knew how to deal with the effects of the seemingly invincible Dragon God King; he also knew how to utilize the properties of the recently created Pendulum Cards.

As a "warrior," Hikari is far superior to it, not only in terms of energy but also in terms of understanding!
"So, the next question is how to cross the 2800 and 3200 attack power thresholds, right?" The Lightbringer Monk breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is still very difficult, it is no longer limited.

Hikaru Amagi glanced at the cards in his hand: "Then let's use this one."

Hikaru Amagi suddenly pulled a card from his hand, flipped it over to show everyone: "Activate, Black Flame Swordsman's effect!"

"The Black Flame Swordsman!?"

"what is that--"

"I've never seen this before!!"

The elves gasped in surprise.

On the other side, the overlord of the Dark Realm was also moved for the first time, staring blankly at Amagi Hikaru's hand.

Black Flame Swordsman?
"Black Flame Swordsman is the Effect Monster Form of Black Flame Knight. You can activate this effect by sending 1 'Flame Swordsman' or a monster with that card name from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Special Summon this card from your hand. This turn, you cannot declare an attack except with a Warrior-Type monster!"

I sent the Extra Deck's Fierce Flame Dragon to the Graveyard!

bring it on--

One of my most loyal knights!

"Black Flame Swordsman!"

Black flames burned in the dull, damp, and dark void, and a somewhat silent knight stepped forward and appeared before Amagi Hikaru.

Black flames burned on its body, and it held a crimson longsword and a shield with red patterns. Everything about it resembled the "Knight of Black Flame" in the minds of the elves present, yet it was completely different.

What's even more eye-catching is that there's even a hint of red light flickering on its body!
"This is... the power of red light? How is this possible? It actually withstood the power of red light and even gained a completely new form?!" The Light Path Monk stared dumbfounded at the Black Flame Swordsman, unable to believe it.

"Could it be that he overcame the evil god's corruption through his own courage and strength?! He is such a powerful knight!?" The knight of the dark world questioned his existence.

Black Flame gently twirled the longsword in his hand, suppressing the power of the markings on his body, and looked at the overlord of the Dark Demon Realm.

With just one glance, it understood why its master had summoned it at this moment.

Since beginning their search for a way to save the Marked Dimension, Amagi Hikari, Enken, and Kuroen have frequently traveled to the Marked Dimension. Kuroen, in particular, has been stationed there for extended periods and has also been infected by the power of the Mark. This power twists its body, causing it to involuntarily move towards other forms, and it was almost assimilated into a monster of the Marked Dimension—it was only through the fusion with its master and its persistence in its own "fusion" that it maintained its original nature, overcame the pain of the Mark, and transformed into this new form.

A posture that is more like its original form!
This posture also made it easier for it to work in the Imprinted Dimension, so it was very satisfied with the updated power. The Flame Sword was very envious and had been trying to find a new form for itself, but no matter how it tried, it couldn't do it.

Nevertheless, Black Flame was still very busy in the Branded Dimension. There were too many mentally confused elves in the Branded Dimension, and the Lord could not possibly clean them up one by one. That would be a waste of time and the existence of these elves.

Therefore, Black Flame is basically the "commander" in the Imprinted Dimension. Considering the fatigue level of Flame Sword and Black Flame, Amagi Hikaru has rarely used the two brothers recently.

But today is different.

Black Flame immediately realized—his lord had suddenly become incredibly kind.

Clearly, this elf, whom it didn't quite recognize, had been trying to save itself after encountering the power of the mark.

Because of its limited abilities, and its unwillingness to abandon its original form and transform into other unknown monsters, it did not fully accept the power of the imprint to become other monsters.

To Black Flame, who was battling a group of mentally ill elves in the Branded Dimension, this was a breath of fresh air.

In the Imprint Dimension, it encountered too many guys who, in pursuit of power and powerful cards, ended up associating with other Pokémon or even becoming Pokémon themselves. Even if they were rescued and lost their memories and sense of self, they showed no remorse.

In comparison, even though the overlord of the Dark Demon Realm was ferocious and ugly, he was quite pleasing to the eye in Black Flame's eyes.

In addition, take a look at the surrounding environment.

Clearly, after being infected, bound by the contract, and forced to comply with the contract, it also tried to cut off this place from the outside world.

Therefore, after confirming that there was no serious wrongdoing, or rather, that it was simply bad luck, the lord felt compassion.

It understands, and is proud of it.

This is their true lord!

Although to many people, the Lord seems uninterested in anything outside of integration, the deeper one gets into understanding the Lord, the clearer it becomes that the Lord has a very simple yet straightforward set of principles for dealing with things.

Punish the wicked and eliminate evil, help the weak and punish the strong.

"You, the overlord of the Dark Demon Realm, have you seen it? Black Flame was also one of the spirits infected by the red light, but through its own efforts, through fusion, and through assistance, it overcame this corruption."

The power of imprinting is indeed immense; there may be nothing stronger than imprinting. However, this doesn't mean that just because it's strong, we must submit to it. To dare to attack the strong—that is true courage!
I know you are bound by the contract and the mark, unable to express your own thoughts. However, you have restrained yourself, not left this throne, and not allowed other elves to suffer misfortune. For this alone, you are qualified as a [King].

"Come with me and leave. I have a way to resolve your condition—I've encountered many similar spirits, and I will continue to strive for this in the future, because this is my path, my [fusion]."

"Uh... Ah—" The overlord of the Dark Demon Realm was slightly tempted, but its actions did not stop.

"I see. So we still have to follow the dueling rituals? That makes sense—come on, let me show you my fusion."

The next moment, the overlord of the Dark Realm had already flipped over the face-down card—

Trap Card: Deep Black Pitfall!
A huge, pitch-black void appeared beneath Black Flame's feet. From its perspective, the void was like an endless hell, with no end in sight.

"Deep Black Trap Hole is a Trap Card that can only be activated when a Level 5 or higher Effect Monster is Special Summoned. It can banish those Level 5 or higher monsters from the game—" The monk immediately realized the card's function. "If Tide King is a Fusion type that requires a chain to block Fusion, then this card is designed to target Synchro and high-rank Xyz Summons."

This devil, he thought of everything so meticulously.

"Danger! Lord Blackflame Swordsman is level 6 and will be eliminated—"

Although we don't know what the effects of the Black Flame Knight are, one thing is certain.

That is, it must be a monster card that Lord Hikari used to assist in fusion.

After all, they had all heard of the Flame Swordsman's name!

"Comprehensive protection, comprehensive targeting, but unfortunately. The current Black Flame is far superior to what you imagine." Amagi Hikaru relaxed upon seeing the card's effect.

On the other side, Hei Yan smiled confidently.

It's not that it's bragging.

It's now... terrifyingly powerful!
"Activate the effect of Black Flame Swordsman! During your or your opponent's turn, you can Tribute this card to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 Level 6 or higher monster with the [Black Flame Swordsman] card name from your Deck!"

"Come on, Level 4, Flame Swordsman!"

Black Flame spun the red longsword in its hand, and a portal made of black flames appeared beside it. It gently retreated and disappeared from the field. At the same time, the Swordsman of Fighting Flames also appeared instantly.

"The Dark Pitfall has no targets!"

"He dodged it!? He actually dodged it!!"

The overlord of the Dark Demon Realm was taken aback.

"It's not over yet. The effect of 'Flame Swordsman' can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned. Add 1 Spell/Trap Card with 'Flame Swordsman' in its name from your Deck to your hand!"

"Perpetual Magic Card, Blazing Sword Domain!"

"Wow--"

The monk realized what was happening.

This set.

This is not—

"Perpetual Magic Card, Blazing Sword Domain!"

The long-absent Flame Sword Domain appeared on the field, with crimson and black flames surrounding Amagi Hikaru, adding to her brilliance.

"Send the Flame Swordsman on the field to the graveyard and activate the Flame Sword Domain effect!"

Fusion Summon!

"The Swordsman of Flames!"

"Haa! I've made my entrance!"

The long-awaited appearance of the Flame Swordsman was incredibly exciting.

Although it holds the highest position in its master's elf camp, it must be a bit idle with so many younger ones appearing one after another, and with amazing companions like Albus appearing every now and then.

"The effect of Flame Swordsman can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard. Send 1 Flame Swordsman other than Flame Swordsman, or a card with that name in its name, from your Deck or Extra Deck to the Graveyard. I send the Flying Dragon Flame Salamander from my Deck to the Graveyard."

This allows the effect of Flying Dragon Flame to be activated. This effect can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard. Add 1 Flying Dragon Flame Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.

"What I want to join... is, of course—the Equip Magic Card, Flying Dragon Flame Fusion!"

Hikaru Amagi extended his right hand, and crimson flames burned in his palm. In a short while, the crimson flames transformed into a card, which Hikaru Amagi took into his hand.

At the same time, the flames grew even stronger!
The crimson and black flames seemed to be burning away all the darkness, pain, and torment in the cave, growing wildly!
But this raging fire was also warm. At least to the elves of the Light Path and the Dark Realm, the flames were not painful. When the flames burned on them, they only felt a gentle warmth that nourished their weary and tormented souls.

"Equip the Spell Card, Flying Dragon Flame Fusion. Equip it to Flame Swordsman, then activate the effect of Flying Dragon Flame Fusion, send it and Flame Swordsman to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 'Flame Swordsman' or 1 Fusion Monster whose name is written on it!"

"Let it burn!"

"My symbol—"

"The Blazing Swordsman!"

The flames began to shrink, the endless flames contracted to Amagi Hikaru's field, and finally transformed into a crimson greatsword!
The Flame Swordsman's body became even stronger, and he was clad in multiple layers of armor.

Extreme Flame Swordsman, Level 8, Flame Swordsman, Warrior Race, Attack Power 2800.
"The Blazing Swordsman!"

"A legendary monster!"

"The symbol of Lord Hikari—"

"I never expected to see you here."

Many elves cheered excitedly.

Today was really worth it!

"Amazing..." The Lightbringer Monk exclaimed in admiration, "Apart from the Black Flame Swordsman, all the fusions he used were not ordinary spell cards. One was a continuous fusion spell card, and the other was an equipped fusion spell card."

These are cards that the Dragon God King of the Dark Realm cannot counter.

"What's even more amazing is... from beginning to end, Lord Hikari didn't use a normal summon, did he?" The knight from the Dark Realm was equally full of praise. "No need for a normal summon, not even wasting any cards, just one Black Flame Swordsman was enough to summon the powerful Extreme Flame Swordsman..."

Lord Blackflame is indeed a remarkable knight.

"In the Graveyard, the effects of Flying Dragon Flame Salamander and Fighting Spirit Flame Slayer can both be equipped to monsters on the field. Flying Dragon Flame is equipped to Warrior-Type monsters. Fighting Spirit Flame Slayer is equipped to Warrior-Type Fusion Monsters."

When equipped to Flame Swordsman or a monster with that card name, these items increase the equipped monster's ATK by 700 points. The Flame Dragon Aura further allows Flame Swordsman to attack twice within a single battle phase.

The monk gasped.

That's incredible!!

Blazing Swordsman, ATK: 2800→3500→4200.
"4200 points! Far surpassing the Dragon God King!"

"My God, it can even attack twice!"

"No, that's not all... Don't forget, the Blazing Swordsman also has an effect!"

Yes!

The Blazing Swordsman has an effect!
"Activate the effect of Blazing Swordsman once per turn. You can target 1 monster your opponent controls. Destroy that monster and inflict 500 damage to your opponent. I destroy DDD Raging Tide King Decision Caesar."

Yan Jian extended his right hand, aiming at the Raging Waves King, then gently raised the greatsword in his left hand. The next second, a crack was heard, flames flashed, and the Raging Waves King instantly turned into fragments.

Amagi Hikaru raised an eyebrow.

Where did Yan Jian learn his pretentious sword techniques?
However, he wouldn't spoil the knight's fun, so he didn't say anything, allowing the Flame Sword to fully enjoy the amazed gazes and admiration of the surrounding elves.

The overlord of the Dark Realm, LP: 3000 → 2500.
"Ugh—" The phantom of the Raging Wave King reappeared beside the Overlord of the Dark Demon Realm. It raised its hand, and a magic card appeared and floated above its head.

Continuous Magic Card, Contract of the Dark Realm.

This is the contract signed by the overlord of the Dark Demon Realm.

Hikaru Amagi has confirmed twice that there is nothing evil in the content.

"The contract binds you because without a partner, you can no longer fulfill the contract, right?"

"But don't worry—because I can help you."

!! ?
The Light Path and the elves of the Dark Realm all turned to look at Amagi Light.

The overlord of the Dark Demon Realm uttered the first sound of response after the cry of pain—

"Really?"

"Of course. To gain the help of a demon with a righteous heart by simply signing a contract to jointly resist the red light is a very worthwhile deal."

The overlord of the Dark Demon Realm was speechless.

It had never seen Amagi Hikaru.

To study it, it stayed in this void. The dragon god Grafa gave it hope but died somewhere unknown, causing its experiment to fail and be tainted by red light. To prevent the red light used in the experiment from escaping to the outside world, it sealed off this lower dimension that was connected to the Dark Realm.

Therefore, it had never heard of "Absolute Fusion Envoy" or "Supreme Fusion Envoy".

In its eyes, Hikaru Amagi was just an arrogant human who had come looking for death out of nowhere.

So, it originally wanted to drive away these humans and elves.

However, the appearance of the Black Flame Swordsman, as well as Amagi Hikaru's amazing understanding of duels and the content of the duels, gave this demon, who had already given up hope and was just silently waiting to die, a new hope.

Could it be that--

But it shook its head and struggled to say, "Dragon God King, there's more...effect..."

“Ah, I know.” Hikaru Amagi nodded with a smile. “Dragon God King can only be activated if the opponent leaves the field. Special Summon 1 ‘Dragon God Grapha of the Dark World’ from your Graveyard and banished monsters. Then, duelists with cards in their hand can discard 1 card from their hand.”

If my Blazing Swordsman destroys Dragon God King Grafa, you can Special Summon Dragon God Grafa in Defense Position to act as a shield. In addition, you can discard one card from your hand.

If I'm not mistaken, there might be a third Grafa. If it destroys my monster, not only will I be unable to attack, but I might also be attacked during your turn and lose.

The overlord of the Dark Demon Realm struggled to nod.

"But—everything has one premise!"

What is it?
Even the elves of the Light Path and the Dark Realm became curious.

"Whether it's card effects or the text of the rules, everything is based on the premise that this duel can continue—if one side has already lost, then all subsequent effects do not need to be processed!"
The Blazing Swordsman attacks Grafa, the Dragon God King of the Dark Realm!
Activate the effect of Blazing Swordsman! This effect can only be activated during the Damage Step in battle. This card's ATK becomes doubled until the end of this turn. This card is destroyed during the End Phase of this turn!

what! !

The overlord of the Dark Demon Realm was shocked.

The self-destructive attack, however, was... for salvation!
Self-destruction!?
As long as we win, we won't cause any damage!

Yan Jian's body grew taller and taller, and the sword in his hand, made of raging fire, seemed to be infected and began to swell.

Blazing Swordsman, ATK: 4200 → 8400!

"Eight thousand four hundred points!?"

"My God—I've never seen such high attack power in my life!"

"An attack power of 84000 can still attack twice!?"

The elves were almost demented.

They had never seen such an attack in their entire combat careers.

This further convinced them that Lord Hikari truly deserved to be called the "Strongest Fusion User"!
Even under multiple layers of blockade, he was still able to summon his ace!
"Ultimate Battle Qi Flame Slash Sword!"

The Flame Swordsman appeared before the Overlord of the Dark Demon Realm in a flash, and behind him, the Dragon God King, who had broken the contract, had been cleaved in two with a single strike!
The overlord of the Dark Realm, LP: 2500 → 0.
Finally, the chaotic and disordered will of the overlord of the Dark Demon Realm gradually became clear!
