Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

Amidst the light, a jet-black steel dragon, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, appeared. It took heavy steps and landed on Chen Yuan's field.

[Black Steel Dragon] [★1] [Dark/Dragon] [Attack: 600 / Defense: 600]

After successfully summoning the card, Chen Yuan did not pause at all. He immediately drew a card from his hand and flipped it over.

"Next, I'll activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] in my hand!"

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned."

"You can Special Summon this monster by Tributing 1 'Red-Eyes' monster from your hand or field."

"I release [Black Steel Dragon] on the field to Special Summon [Red-Eyes Black Dragon]!"

As the figure of the Black Steel Dragon on the field was slowly swallowed by a dark energy, a brand new, even more ferocious black dragon appeared in its place!

Its body is even more profound than the previous "Red-Eyes," like obsidian that can absorb all light.

What is most striking is that its jet-black body is covered with countless irregular bright red cracks, like molten lava!

Those were not wounds, but rather the destructive light bursting forth from the gaps in the armor from the overwhelming, uncontrollable latent power within its body!

【Red-Eyes Black Dragon】【★7】【DARK/Dragon/Special Summon/Effect】【ATK: 2400 / DEF: 2000】

After successfully summoning the creature, Chen Yuan immediately waved his hand and said:

"At this very moment, the effect of [Black Steel Dragon], which had just been sent to the graveyard, activated!"

"This card can only be activated when it is sent from the field to the graveyard."

Add 1 "Red-Eyes" card from your deck to your hand.

"I've added [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] to my hand from my deck!"

A black light flashed across Chen Yuan's graveyard as he drew a card from his deck.

"Next, I'll activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] in my hand!"

"You can activate this effect by sending 1 Level 5 or higher Normal Monster from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard."

"Special Summon this card from your hand."

"After that, the card's level increased by 1 star."

"I send [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from my deck to the graveyard and Special Summon [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] from my hand!"

The phantom of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon flashed through Chen Yuan's deck like a shooting star before falling into the graveyard, which represents the past.

Chen Yuan slammed the card in his hand onto the Duel Disk! "Reveal it! — [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon]!"

boom--!!!

A storm of dark red flames, more violent and intense than ever before, erupted on Chen Yuan's field!

From the heart of that hellish flame, a brand new black dragon, imbued with metallic texture and demonic aura, slowly unfurled its enormous wings, which resembled shattered stars!

Its body is more angular than the original "Red-Eyes," exuding extreme aggression. On its jet-black armor...

It is covered with a dark red metal skeleton, like a red-hot branding iron.

"It's not over yet!"

Chen Yuan announced loudly, "The moment it is born, its level will be upgraded!"

A star, representing rank and burning with raging flames, descended from the sky and entered the body of the [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon], making its aura even more powerful!

【Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon】【★6→★7】【Dark/Dragon/Effect】【Attack: 2000 / Defense: 2000】

"Two monsters of the same star rating?"

Morino Yu raised an eyebrow slightly. "You're going to perform an Xyz Summon?"

In response to Morino Yu's question, Chen Yuan nodded emphatically without hesitation, his eyes burning with an indomitable fighting spirit.

"Since the magic traps can't activate their effects, then taste the power of my Xyz Monster!"

"I'm stacking the Level 7 [Red-Eyes Black Star Dragon] and the Level 7 [Red-Eyes Sub-Black Dragon] on the field!"

As Chen Yuan announced this, the two jet-black dragons simultaneously let out a deafening roar!

Their bodies transformed into two crimson torrents of energy filled with flames and ash, like two dark meteors chasing each other, suddenly shooting into the sky!

A deep, supermassive vortex, like a steel furnace, filled with dark red electric light, suddenly unfolded!

The two deep red beams plunged into the chaos, transforming into two burning stars that orbited each other at the center of the vortex.

"Two jet-black dragon souls that harbor infinite possibilities!"

"At this intersection, forge your anger and indomitable spirit into an indestructible body of steel!"

"Xyz Summon! Burn, Rank 7!"

"The Undying Steel Fortress - [Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon]!"

As the light faded, a brand new, ultimate black dragon, imbued with metallic texture and a sense of weight, descended upon the earth!

Its body is no longer made of biological scales, but rather of thick steel armor pieces that shimmer with a dark red metallic luster.

At the seams of the armor, one can see orange-red energy patterns flowing like a hot iron, as if the core of a star about to explode is sealed inside.

Its wings are dark red fleshy wings full of biological texture, and the two burning stars used as materials are now like two guarding meteorites, slowly circling around its body.

【Red-Eyes Steelix】【Rank 7】【Dark/Dragon/Xyz/Effect】【ATK: 2800 / DEF: 2400】

"Is it a true Red-Eyes Xyz Monster from the main family?"

Morino Yu looked at the majestic steel dragon, his face still bearing a gentle smile.

"That's interesting. I've never seen this before."

"However, at this very moment, the effect of the monster sleeping in my graveyard will activate!"

Morino Yu slowly raised his hand, as if summoning the sleeping spirit of nature, and said sternly:

"The effect of [Natural Mole Cricket] in the graveyard has activated!"

"This effect can be activated if this card is in your Graveyard and your opponent Special Summons a monster from your Extra Deck, or if you Special Summons a 'Nature' monster from your Extra Deck."

"Special Summon this card."

"Revive, [Natural Mole Cricket]!"

As he finished speaking, a bright green mole cricket, accompanied by the soft sound of its wings fluttering, broke through the soil once again and appeared on Morino Yu's field.

[Natural Mole Cricket] [★1] [Earth/Insect] [Attack: 0 / Defense: 0]

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan also wore a confident smile.

"is it?"

"Then at this very moment! The effect of [Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon] will be applied!"

"As long as this card with Xyz Material is in the Monster Zone, every time your opponent activates a Spell/Trap/Monster effect, inflict 500 damage to your opponent!"

"Take this hit!"

A scorching, oppressive aura suddenly emanated from the Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon's body, which resembled the core of a star!

The entire site seemed to transform into a giant, invisible steelmaking furnace, and even the thick black mist thinned out under the impact of this heat wave!

[Yu Morino: LP 8000 → 7500]

Morino Yu looked at the faint burn marks appearing on his arm, which was shrouded in black mist, and felt a real burning sensation on his body, feeling somewhat surprised.

"It's a blood-burning effect?"

"Even so, I will still continue to activate the effect of [Natural Mole Cricket]."

"During your or your opponent's Main Phase, you can activate this effect by Tributing this card."

Special Summon 1 "Nature" monster from your Deck.

"If the monster with the highest ATK is on your opponent's field, this effect can Special Summon 2 of them."

"I release them to Special Summon [Natural Camellia] and [Natural Sunflower] from my Deck!"

With a flash of light, the Sunflower Fairy with a radiant smile and the elegant Camellia Fairy appeared on his stage.

【Natural Camellia】【★4】【Earth/Plant/Adjuster/Effect】【Attack: 1400 / Defense: 700】

【Natural Sunflower】【★2】【Earth/Plant/Effect】【Attack: 500 / Defense: 0】

"You still dare to activate the effect?"

Chen Yuan immediately said, "Then you'll have to take another 500 points of damage!"

The burning sensation returned, this time even more intense than before, and Morino Yu's face twitched uncontrollably.

Compared to the tearing pain of the Dark Duel, he disliked this burning sensation that seemed to ignite him from the inside out even more.

[Yu Morino: LP 7500 → 7000]

"But the desired effect still needs to be activated!"

"Next, I activate the effect of [Natural Camellia] and send [Natural Star Tree] from my deck to the graveyard!"

"Then comes the chain reaction of the [Natural Star Tree]'s effects!"

"I'm adding [Nature's Breeze] back to my hand from my deck!"

"Then, that's 1000 points of damage!"

Chen Yuan's voice always rang out at just the right moment, like the tolling of a death knell.

As the annoying burning sensation spread throughout his body again, veins on Morino Yu's forehead bulged uncontrollably.

Even the skinny monkey and giant ape standing nearby could tell that Morino Yu was extremely angry at this moment.

[Yu Morino: LP 7000 → 6000]

"Huh...huh..."

Morino Yu took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the surging anger in his heart.

For now, he could only endure it... He looked at the monsters that were already in their positions on the field, and his irritable emotions calmed down a bit.

His preparations are complete.

As long as Chen Yuan activates the effect of [Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon], he can immediately eliminate this annoying monster.
