Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 630 A Tough Opponent! (4K, Requesting Monthly Tickets~)

"Haha..."

During the visitor's turn, instead of drawing a card, it raised its left hand, grinning eerily, and revealed a spell card.

Magic Cards, Brand Unveiled!
"This guy..." After several minutes, Yan Jian finally appeared beside Tiancheng Guang, carefully guarding him. Hei Yan also raised his sword and cautiously looked around.

Gem Knight White Crystal was at the back of the group, carefully observing the strange shapes around him, preparing to deal with them.

“They don’t seem to be working together,” Black Flame said.

On the side of the Holy Sepulchre Visitors, there were also some strangely shaped monsters, like different monsters pieced together like tangram puzzles.

“Those must be mentally deranged Pokémon.” Tiera glanced at them briefly. “Amagi Hikari, something’s wrong with this dimension. The Pokémon on the other side is far stronger than ordinary Pokémon, and the Pokémon around them are probably not normal Pokémon either.”

This dimension has certain "resistance." Apart from Amagi Hikaru himself who was directly teleported to this dimension, even Tiera takes a few seconds to arrive, which is completely different from the regular dimension. Normally, the body of an elf can move instantly within a card. Although Tiera is not an elf, her soul resides in the card, and she can use this property to follow Amagi Hikaru. But now, she is facing severe resistance and cannot appear immediately to protect Amagi Hikaru.

Similarly, Yan Jian and the other two appeared at this time because they realized that they could no longer appear from the card "at will" and so they quickly guarded Tiancheng Guang's side, fearing that something might happen.

Amagi Hikaru looked at the inhuman, ghost-like spirits, noticing the faint red glow on them, and then at the more obvious red glow on "Who Are You Looking For?" He nodded slightly: "I'm afraid these guys have been driven to the brink of collapse by the power of the red light."

Some of these monsters may have simply suffered a mental breakdown, but others clearly show signs of being mixed with matter and metal. Even more disturbingly, some appear to be several elves mixed together, their limbs unresponsive, rolling around in a chaotic manner.

"In other words, the elf that the lord is facing now should be one of the best in this region," Bai Jing concluded.

“Black Flame, this guy looks a bit like the captain when we first met him, doesn’t he?” Flame Sword said to Black Flame.

Black Flame observed for a moment and nodded slightly: "But... it seems more agile and rational."

Bai Jing also expressed her approval.

While it was indeed influenced by Shaddoll's power at the time, it was only the Fusion Army that affected its behavior; its mindset during the duel remained largely its own.

But this one...

It's hard to say whose idea it was.

Perhaps there are countless voices arguing in this elf's mind.

Just then, the Holy Grave Visitor finished searching for cards and Special Summoned a character that looked like a clown from his deck to the field.

Aruba, the guide from the Death Prison, Level 4, Dark attribute, Angel race, Defense 0
"What kind of monster is this? Why was it specially summoned?" Tiera asked in confusion.

"The effect of Branding Opening is that you discard one card. Then, add one Death Village monster from your Deck to your hand or Special Summon it in Defense Position." Hikaru Amagi replied, looking at the cards opposite him.

But that wasn't all. The visitor to the Holy Tomb then raised his left hand, making a "2" sign. At the same time, a monster emerged from its graveyard—a green monster made up of various interrogation tools.

"The effect of 'Tragedy of the Dead' monster when it is sent to the Graveyard or banished by its effect. You can add any 'Tragedy of the Dead' monster from your Deck to your hand." Hikaru Amagi carefully watched each monster appear, muttering its effects in suspense. "The effect of 'Guiding Albo' of the Dead' monster can be activated if it is Normal or Special Summoned. Add 1 Brand Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

"Triple search?" Bai Jing was slightly surprised.

The deck of the Holy Grave Visitor cracked open, the crack turning into square grids, from which a large amount of black energy emerged, like filth from a dark abyss.

A magical card depicting Aruba soaring through the air, looking incredibly cool, appeared in its hand.

The Mark of He!

This is not over yet.

It directly slapped a card onto the Duel Disk.

Field Spell Card: Branded City, Despair, Death Prison Village!
"Rumble..."

At that moment, Amagi Hikaru noticed that not far from them, there was a strangely shaped tower that was slowly collapsing, with many rocks falling from it.

"So that's how it is!" Amagi Hikaru was suddenly taken aback.

He got it!

Although this is the [Marked] dimension, it is not the [Marked] dimension—this is the Desperate Death Prison Village!
It was only then that he finally remembered what the message left by the Selfless Painting School meant: "Even if the coordinates are the same, it is possible to go to other places."

Then he thought further about the strange and wonderful spirits around him.

Could it be that those spirits, those "spirits that are a combination of several spirits", are actually spirits that are a mixture of two dimensions?

Is this actually a special dimension where two dimensions overlap?

Regardless of Amagi Hikaru's thoughts, the Holy Tomb Visitors have already begun their next round of operations.

It casually tossed out a card, and the Aruba on the field slowly flew up. A burst of black and purple lightning crashed down from the unrecognizable city of drama, and the "Deathly Drama of the Dead Village" searched by the Holy Grail Visitor merged with the Aruba on the field.

The effect of Despair's Death Prison is activated during your Main Phase. Use monsters from your hand or field as materials to Fusion Summon 1 Level 8 or higher Fusion Monster!

Under the holy light, the angel spread its bloody wings and transformed into a demon!
Before it appeared a smaller version of itself!
Death Prison Village Actor - Holy Tomb Visitor, Level 8, Light Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 2500.
This is not over yet.

A large actor appeared beside the visitors to the Holy Sepulchre, extending eerie claws that reached into the cemetery and slowly grabbed a monster.

Tragic Death in Prison Village Actor, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Angel Race, Attack Power 400.
"What kind of effect is this?" Tiera didn't quite understand.

"If a monster is sent to the Graveyard or banished as Fusion Material from your hand or field, you can target any monster other than the Monster in your Graveyard or banished, such as a Death Village monster or a Level 8 or higher Fusion Monster. Special Summon that monster."

"This guy won't say anything at all?" Yan Jian's face was somewhat gloomy, realizing the danger of going any further. "If it weren't for the fact that the lord recognizes these fusion-related cards, wouldn't other duelists who come here not even know what the other party has done?"

Bai Jing was a little embarrassed; it felt the same way back then.

Then, the Holy Grave Visitor chuckled twice more, set a card face down, and placed a Continuous Spell Card "Imprinted Apostle" on the field, thus ending the turn peacefully.

"Is this how the round ends?" Tiera asked, somewhat surprised.

Of course, Yan Jian and the others were also puzzled.

It's just a monster with an attack power of 2500, what's the big deal?
Hikaru Amagi frowned as he slowly drew a card.

"Hehehe—" After Amagi Hikaru drew his card, the Holy Grave Visitor suddenly opened his face-down card again.

Quick-Play Spell Card: Mark of Hell!

In the graveyard, the tragedy that was sent to the graveyard as fusion material in the previous turn is retrieved into its hand. Then, the tragedy on the field and the tragedy in the hand are transformed into a new light under the dark thunder of the Desperate Death Prison.

After using the Mark of Hell to retrieve a monster from the Graveyard, you can banish monsters from your hand or field to Fusion Summon 1 Level 8 or higher Fusion Monster!

"Ow!!!"

Terrifying roars also erupted from the mouths of the visitors to the Holy Sepulchre.

In that instant, its body trembled, sometimes appearing as a demon wielding a weapon, sometimes as a dragon demon with outstretched wings, its body seemingly on the verge of collapse, emitting a heart-wrenching cry of pain.

Moments later, a brand new fusion monster appears.

The Crimson Dragon, disguised as a dragon, is level 8, belongs to the Dark attribute, belongs to the Demon race, and has an attack power of 2500.
In the opponent's turn, a new round of fusion was completed.

Not only that--

As the fusion ended, the two monsters that served as fusion materials activated their effects again!

The effect of Tragedy is to search for 1 Death Village monster; the effect of Evil Drama is to Special Summon a Death Village monster from your Graveyard, a banished monster, or a Level 8 or higher Fusion Monster!

With a wave of his hand, the Guardian of the Holy Graveyard Special Summoned Aruba from the Graveyard, and at the same time, Tragedy added "Comedy" from the deck to the hand. And that's not all.

With the Special Summon of Albedo, Albedo's effect activates again!
The Mark of He!

The second one!
The Holy Tomb Visitor cackled as he took the card into his hand.

"Eh—" The elves stared in disbelief.

"In the round trip, no resources are wasted at all; in fact, it seems like they can be recycled?"

"Yes—but that guy didn't search for the second horror story; instead, he searched for other strange monsters, so it seems he can't complete the loop."

Yan Jian and Hei Yan discussed it.

“Comedy is for defense.” Amagi Hikaru looked at the setup, pondered for a moment, and said, “Comedy’s effect is… when the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster that targets a face-up [Death Prison] card on your field is activated by your opponent, you can discard this card to negate that effect.”

"I see!" Bai Jing understood. "Because only this fusion was covered, it retrieved monsters to assist in offense and defense?"

“This series looks quite interesting,” Tierra also commented.

Aside from the monsters' appearances matching her preferences, she also found some interesting aspects in the series' tactics: "It seems to be a fusion of general support series? It's quite suitable for Hikari Amagi."

“Yes, Princess Tiera is right.” Captain White Crystal nodded and continued, “Fusion, recycling, reuse, fusion again… it’s all the Lord’s tactics.”

"It seems that you've gotten a card that's perfect for you, Hikaru Amagi." Tiera looked at Hikaru Amagi's hand and chuckled, "The hand card is pretty good too. Come on, let's go up and give it a couple of punches and let it know how powerful you are."

"If only it were that simple."

"?"

Everyone looked at Amagi Hikaru at the same time.

Two monsters with an attack power of 2500 and one with an attack power of 1800, what's so difficult about that?
"Did those two monsters have any strange effects?"

Hikaru Amagi stroked his chin, muttering, "The Holy Grave Visitor can activate its effect during either player's or opponent's Main Phase. It reduces the ATK of all monsters on the field except for Level 8 or higher Fusion Monsters to 0."

"Oh? Another effect that suits you quite well." Tiera nodded after listening.

"Besides, my lord, you're definitely using a fusion monster, so it doesn't seem to matter," Yan Jian said, his eyes lighting up.

"So, does my lord mean that the Crimson Dragon has some kind of irresistible effect?" Black Flame's expression changed.

Amagi Hikaru nodded.

"With the Crimson Dragon disguised as a dragon on the field, the opponent must pay 600 life points to activate the card's effect."

At first, the group didn't react much, but then their expressions all changed drastically.

"Not effect damage, but pay-to-win!?" Yan Jian's mouth dropped open. "Isn't that even stronger than the Blackwing Assault Dragon!?"

Blackwing Strike Dragon deals 700 damage to the opponent when the opponent activates a monster effect. However, if Hikaru Amagi does not activate a monster effect and prioritizes Fusion, he can fuse to create DDD God King Dark, whose effect converts the damage into life points recovery.

Can--

The effect of the Crimson Dragon is to pay health points!
In other words, even prevention is not an option.

“600 points per use, and 4000 health points per use…” Bai Jing calculated quickly in a low voice, “That means, if the lord wants to use the cards in his hand, he can only decide the winner in 6 uses?”

They looked at the card in Amagi Hikaru's hand, did a quick calculation, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems possible. It's not impossible.

“But…comedy can invalidate the effect of choosing an object, right?” Yan Jian expressed a different opinion, but then Hei Yan slapped its head and shouted, “The Crimson Dragon is not the Death Prison Village.”

“It should protect against field and spell cards… Even if Comedy can’t protect Crimson Dragon, the Brand card in the graveyard still has an effect.” Amagi Hikaru’s expression was solemn. “If that card is in the graveyard, and a Fusion Monster on your field is destroyed by a card effect, you can banish that card instead.”

hum-

Upon hearing this, the three elves felt a jolt in their hearts.

Is there no way to quickly get rid of the Hexosaurus anymore?
“One more thing, with the Field Spell Card Despair: Death's Lair on the field, if a face-up Fairy-Type monster other than a Fusion Monster leaves the field due to an opponent's card effect or is destroyed by battle, it can Special Summon 1 Level 8 or higher Fusion Monster from the Graveyard.” Hikaru Amagi pointed to the slowly collapsing tower behind the Holy Grave Visitor and said, “In addition, the Holy Grave Visitor has the effect of Special Summoning Death's Lair monsters after leaving the field due to an opponent's card effect, so with the Crimson Dragon on the field, it is almost impossible for me to deal with all the monsters in my hand at once.”

"In other words, the only way to deal with the Crimson Dragon is through combat." Tiera frowned, looking at Amagi Hikaru's hand, and said, "You're going to use this?"

Amagi nodded.

"Activate the Spell Card, Fusion of Fate!"

As Amagi Hikaru activated his attack, countless sharp spikes with eyes shot out from all around, piercing through his body and causing him to gasp in pain.

Amagi LP: 4000→3400.
"Based on this card's effect, send Destiny HERO Fusion Materials from your Deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon 1 Destiny HERO Fusion Monster. After this card is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters that are not DARK HERO monsters until the end of this turn."

"Send the Evil Hero Fallen Claw and the Destiny Hero Gunner from the deck to the graveyard for Fusion Summoning."

"Come forth, eternal flame of fusion."

"Level 8, Destiny Hero Destroys the Phoenix!"

At the critical moment and in the critical location, the Phoenix Destroyer arrives to help!
Destiny Hero: Destroyer Phoenix, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Warrior Race, Attack Power 2500.
"When Phoenix is ​​on the field, the ATK of monsters on your opponent's field decreases by 200 for each Hero in your Graveyard. This effect does not need to be activated; it is a permanent effect."

The smiles on the faces of the visitors to the Holy Sepulchre vanished, replaced by displeasure.

"Battle! Phoenixmen, attack the Blazing Dragon!"

The phoenix leaped high into the air, unleashing endless flames from its left hand, shattering the scorching dragon.

Holy Sepulchre Visitor, LP: 4000 → 3600.
But then: "Hehehe..."

With a swift movement, the Holy Tomb Visitor raised his hand, and the Crimson Dragon, which had just been destroyed in the battle, instantly returned to the field.

"what?"

"What is this?"

"Damn it, I did this to destroy it..."

"It's alright," Amagi Hikaru reassured his friends, "This is the effect of the Hexorphin."

If your opponent controls any type of Fusion, Xyz, Synchro, or Link monster, you can Special Summon this card from your Graveyard during either your or your opponent's turn. When this card Special Summoned by this effect leaves the field, it is banished.

"Because it's not a fusion summon, there won't be any effect of paying out health points."

That's good.

Everyone nodded slowly.

The next question is...

How should we play?

Even though the Crimson Dragon was dealt with, ... that guy's resources haven't decreased at all!

　4K4K, I think I'll finish writing it soon, but it won't be until tomorrow. Everyone, read it after you wake up tomorrow.
