Chapter 631: Outbreak Spreads! (7K votes needed!)

After defeating the Crimson Dragon, Amagi Hikaru ended the battle phase and entered main phase 2.
Amagi Hikaru glanced at his hand, then looked at the field opposite him.

The branded apostles...

That card wasn't just placed there for nothing.

Although Hikaru Amagi uses a Fusion deck that primarily uses Fusion Monsters, the Holy Grave Visitor cannot unleash its full potential by reducing all of his monsters' attack power to zero. However, it still poses a considerable threat when placed on the field.

Because, as long as the Marked Apostle is on the field, when the opponent activates a monster's effect, if you have a Level 8 or higher Fiend-Type Fusion Monster on your field, and that monster has 0 ATK or DEF, you can negate that activated effect.

This is an effect that seems insignificant at first glance, but is actually quite outrageous upon closer inspection.

Even if a monster is covered up and its information is lost, as long as its attack or defense is 0, the effect can be nullified.

Combined with the effect of the Holy Grave Visitor, which reduces the ATK of all cards except Level 8 or higher Fusion Monsters to 0, it is essentially equivalent to a Monster Effect Counter.

Therefore, this is the final scene of "Visitors to the Holy Sepulchre".

With its reduced attack power, burn damage, resource recycling, hand traps, and monster-specific healing effects, combined with the field's recycling capabilities, it becomes an exceptionally troublesome opponent.

Therefore, even if Hikaru Amagi wanted to use a Normal Summon monster to activate its effect, it still depended on the type.

Hikaru Amagi glanced at his card.

His hand is currently mostly composed of expansion pieces...

"Activate the effect of Phoenix Man of Destruction: Target one card on my field and destroy it. This effect is non-targeting. I destroy Phoenix Man itself and one of your Field Spell Cards: Despair Death Hell."

The visitor to the Holy Sepulchre showed a hint of displeasure.

The arena not only provides protection, but more importantly, it allows for one fusion per round, which is crucial for it.

The Phoenix crashed into the massive rock pillar behind the Tomb Raider, and with a deafening roar, the field on the Tomb Raider's side of the field was destroyed.

"If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect, during the next Standby Phase, Special Summon 1 Destiny HERO from your Graveyard."

Then he took out the cards in his hand and selected 3 of them: "Cover three cards, end turn."

The Holy Tomb Visitor snorted twice, then drew a card from his deck.

"At this very moment, the Phoenix Force in the graveyard is destroyed, Special Summoned!"

Hikaru Amagi could also activate the effect of Gunner to Special Summon Gunner, but he chose not to do so.

Against a deck like Brand, Special Summoning Gunner and forcing both sides to draw cards is somewhat of a loss.

Moreover, he also covered other cards that needed to be used for bombing.

For example, among the cards covered by Amagi Hikaru, there is one called "Refinement and Fusion".

The Holy Grail Visitor doesn't have the effect of activating the Mark of the Holy Grail through the chain of Amagi Light's card effects, or perhaps it doesn't want to waste the Mark of the Holy Grail at this time.

At this point in time, the card in the Holy Grail Visitor's hand is the searched Comedy—it's not that Amagi Hikaru is unfriendly to cards, he just wants to say that compared to the intensity of tragedy, Comedy is really a bit comical.

If it had chosen the Fierce Drone for extended battery life rather than protection, it might have been even more difficult to manage.

The hand contains 5 cards, one of which is a comedy card, and another is the Mark of Hell...

Just as he was thinking this, Hikaru Amagi suddenly saw that the other party had calmly and normally summoned a monster...

What kind of monster was it?
White hair with red highlights, black leather short cape.

He looked thin and weak, clutching his left eye in excruciating pain, as if something terrible had pierced his eye.

I'm so awesome!

The Holy Tomb Visitor discarded a card from his hand without hesitation.

Albus's Fallen Child, Level 4, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 1800 → 1600.
"Wait a minute." Hikaru Amagi raised his hand and said, "Activate the effect of Destiny HERO Phoenix Man Destruction once per turn, destroy 1 card on my field and 1 other card on your field!" Hikaru Amagi pointed to his own Alchemy Fusion, "Destroy my face-down cards and Albus's Fallen Seed on your field!"

The elves didn't know why Amagi was in such a hurry, but they saw that the phoenix on Amagi's field was already engulfed in flames. The flames turned into bullets in the air and flew towards Albus on the opposite side. With a "crack", the monster shattered.

"What kind of monster is that?" Tiera asked curiously.

"That monster is... Albus's Demise." Hikaru Amagi took a deep breath, never expecting that the being he had been searching for these past few days would appear before him so easily. "When Albus's Demise is Normal or Special Summoned, you can discard one card to activate its effect. Use monsters on your or your opponent's field, including this card, as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster. Of course... at that time, you cannot use other monsters on your field as Fusion Material."

"Huh?" Tierra was taken aback.

"So powerful! Isn't this comparable to the Lord's Super Fusion?"

“No, it’s nowhere near as powerful as Super Polymerization.” Captain White Crystal shook his head. “Not only can it be chained, but it can’t even use other monsters on your field as fusion material… However, as a coercive measure, it’s strong enough.”

All the elves nodded in unison.

If Amagi Light doesn't activate its effect, then it will probably be directly fused with and destroyed by Albus's Fallen, which would be a huge loss.

Seeing that Tiancheng had used the effect of destroying the Phoenix, the Holy Tomb Visitor chuckled again.

He slowly lit up the mark of He.

What card is being discarded?
Hikaru Amagi was too nervous to look carefully earlier, but now she was surprised to find—

It's the second one!

tragedy!

The horrific scene unfolded in the cemetery, and the Aruberts and the visitors to the Holy Sepulchre all began to flicker with extremely unstable light.

With a tearing sound, the monsters were ripped apart like dolls. Then, behind the visitor to the Holy Tomb, a huge platform slowly rose, and several dragons flew out of the platform and hovered around it, as if they were the monsters on the platform.

Oops.

Amagi Hikaru's expression changed.

Dragons combined to form a massive stage, where countless souls and human corpses became the stage's props. A demon whose form was indistinct extended countless puppet strings, controlling everything!
Death Prison Village Actor - Proscenium Stage Dragon, Level 11, Light Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 3200→2800.
"This monster looks so strange," Yan Jian couldn't help but mutter.

"In terms of style, it's like the mastermind behind everything, much like the Shaddoll controlled by Lady Tiera."

“Not at all. Shaddolls are puppets, but this monster is a stage play.” Tiera snorted twice, unusually responding to the “Three Horsemen”’s words.

The Holy Tomb Visitor stretches out his hand, and a monster flies out of the deck.

The guide to the death prison village, Arub.

"It's Arub... that guy is still preparing for the next round." Black Flame muttered twice.

The guide from the Death Prison Village possesses the ability to search for branded magic traps. After summoning its ace monster, instead of aiming for a quick victory, it considers the next turn. This spirit, though somewhat abnormal, was probably once a formidable force.

I never imagined it would turn out like this.

Then, the Holy Tomb Visitor extended its enormous left claw, pointing it at the Phoenix of Destruction in the Sky City's light field.

From within the enormous stage dragon, a head flew out and bit directly into the body of the Phoenix Destroyer.

Amagi LP: 3400 → 3100.
"Fortunately, it's only 300 health points." The Flame Swordsman wasn't too nervous.

But then—

"Ah!!!" Countless sharp spikes rose up around Amagi Hikaru, corroding his body like poison and piercing him.

The pain wasn't as intense as the previous dark duels Amagi Hikaru had faced, but the full-body, continuous, scratching sensation, like ants crawling all over him, made Amagi Hikaru groan involuntarily.

Amagi LP: 3100→600.
"Hiss—that giant monster has the effects of a fire-winged human?" Black Flame gasped.

"Oh no, if the Crimson Dragon attacks directly, then the Lord's health will be reduced to zero—"

"Activate the effect of the Fallen Claw Demon in the Graveyard, and the effect of the Destroyer Phoenix Man," even though he knew the latter might be useless, Hikaru Amagi still activated the effect. "The effect of the Fallen Claw Demon: If a monster on your field is destroyed by battle or card effect, activate this effect. Special Summon this card from the Graveyard."

Unfortunately, there are no monsters with the Dark Fusion card name listed in Amagi Hikaru's graveyard, otherwise her "powerful" non-targeting destruction effect could have been activated to destroy Proscenium Dragon.

Evil Hero Fallen Claw Demon, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Demon Race, Defense 2500.
The Fallen Claw Demon's defense is the same as the Crimson Dragon's attack power, so the Crimson Dragon has no way to continue attacking.

"The effect of Destroyer Phoenix can be activated during the next Standby Phase to Special Summon one Destiny HERO monster from my Graveyard."

Seeing this, Yan Jian excitedly shouted, "Haha, although the Phoenix Man was destroyed, it doesn't matter. Next round, as long as the Lord's Phoenix Man returns to the field, everything will be fine!"

I don't know if this is a response to its idea.

The Holy Grave Visitor casually waved the Duel Disk Staff, pointing it towards Amagi Hikaru's grave. From within the enormous stage dragon, a dragon spat out countless threads, pulling them toward Amagi Hikaru's grave.

This is the effect of a proscenium stage dragon!

"Tsk... Proscenium Dragon can target 1 Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link monster in your opponent's Graveyard during your Main Phase. Banish that monster or Special Summon it to your field."

"What?" At this moment, the three elves no longer had the mind to think about what the last string of words that Amagi Hikaru had read out meant; they only had one thought.

Bad thing!
Well known.

The Phoenix Destroyer is on their side; it is the most beautiful rebirth, a beautiful fusion monster new star.

But on the other side...

That's birth!

A wooden plank appeared on the field of the Holy Tomb Visitor, and the Phoenix Destroyer was dragged onto its field like a puppet to be manipulated.

The good news is that there are no hero monsters in the Tomb Visitor's graveyard, so Hikaru Amagi's attack power will not be reduced.

but……

The proscenium stage dragon pointed to the branded apostle beside him, then to the face-down card on the Amagi Light Field. Amidst a burst of maniacal laughter, both cards were engulfed in black flames!
Hikaru Amagi was speechless.

He thought he would never see the Phoenix Destroyer again in this world—after all, the Destiny Hero of this world was Edward's exclusive, and he figured Edward would probably never duel him again in this lifetime, so he definitely wouldn't get to eat the Phoenix Destroyer.

To my utter surprise, I still suffered.

Because the Phoenix's effect is to destroy without targeting, Hikaru Amagi didn't use an overwrite card—or rather, it didn't really matter.

As the cover card was lifted, a card was destroyed with a loud crash, revealing its underlying color.

Quick-Play Spell Card, Instant Fusion!

Amagi Hikaru glanced at it but didn't pay much attention.

With a flick of his left hand, the Visitor to the Holy Tomb transformed the Duel Disk on his wrist back into the massive, jagged axe-like staff.

It held it in its hand, waving it around casually, showing off its gun-like movements, seemingly quite happy.

After a moment, as if it had had enough fun, it took the weapon, placed it on its own throat, and slid it gently.

"That bastard!" Yan Jian was furious and wanted to draw his sword to kill the elf, but since they were in the middle of a duel, he restrained himself. "How dare he insult his lord—how audacious! Where does he get the courage!?"

"Arrogant elves..." Black Flame's face was also gloomy.

"I'm afraid this guy thinks the Lord has already lost." Captain Bai Jing could more or less guess what the Holy Tomb Visitor was thinking. "A demon with 3200 attack power and a Phoenix of Destruction with a card that can destroy once per turn, plus the Comedy card in his hand... It won't be so easy to take it down in one turn!"

And if it summons Arub in the next turn, then searches for the second Desperate Death Village, and fuses to create the second Crimson Dragon... the lord with only 600 life points cannot activate any card effects!

At that time, the lord had no chance of winning.

Bai Jing was also shocked.

The lord, who had just accomplished an unparalleled feat, was actually pushed to this point by the very first spirit he encountered during his first exploration of the "Red Light Dimension"...

"What's the panic?" Tiera said, somewhat annoyed. "It's just destroying the Phoenix and having only 600 health points, isn't it?"

Back then, Hikaru Amagi didn't panic when facing Ultimate Earthbound God and Blackwing Strike Dragon, so what's this situation?
"My turn, draw a card!"

Hikaru Amagi drew a card from his deck, glanced at it, and then raised his eyebrows slightly.

Is this what they call the choice of "fate"?

“Quiritis (Note 1),” Hikaru Amagi said with interest, looking at the card she had drawn. “I don’t know what kind of spirit you were before you went mad, but from your duels, I can sense your understanding of fusion. If it were me a year ago, I probably wouldn’t have been as good as you in terms of fusion cycles alone.”

However, the dueling is progressing, and so is the integration.

"Quiritis, I am a duelist who seeks the ultimate fusion. If you can regain your sanity after the duel, then come with me."

"Destroy the Phoenix's effect, I Special Summon a Destiny Hero from my Graveyard. Special Summon: Gunslinger!"

It's extremely rare to see the bottom of the list. In the Duel, Hikaru Amagi uses the effect of Phoenix Man to Special Summon other cards, such as Gunner.

"Next, in Main Phase 1, the effect of Fusion is used: draw one card. Unlock a face-down card, then use a Fusion Trap Card to copy it, instantly fusing it from the Graveyard! Apply its effect!"

"This card allows you to send the Fusion Materials from a Fusion Monster Card to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. I use two DARK HERO monsters on the field as Fusion Materials!"

"Wings that seek fusion, now, wave everything and embrace more fusion!"

"Fusion Summon!"

Purple wings of light lit up behind Amagi Hikaru, driving away some monsters that wanted to come and grab a piece of the pie.

"Level 8!"

"A ferocious, hungry, and poisonous fusion dragon!"

"Ow!!!!"

The fused dragon roared as it entered the arena, but this time, it lacked the fighting spirit it had shown before.

It had vaguely developed intelligence, and it vaguely felt that its current form might really be used to make mistakes—fortunately, it had another invincible form.

Ferocious, Hungry, and Poisonous Fusion Dragon, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2800.
"The effect of Ferocious Venomous Fusion Dragon: If this card is Fusion Summoned, this effect activates. This card gains ATK equal to the ATK of 1 Special Summoned monster your opponent controls until the end of this turn. It also gains ATK equal to Proscenium Dragon."

Ferocious, Hungry, and Poisonous Fusion Dragon, ATK: 2800 → 6000.
The visitor to the Holy Tomb, wielding an axe, frowned slightly, sensing a hint of pressure.

However, an attack power of 6000 is actually not a big deal.

After all, its field has the invincible Phoenix Man of Destruction!
"The effect of Ferocious Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon can be activated once per turn by targeting 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls. This card gains the same card name and effect as that monster until the End Phase!"

My choice is... to destroy the Phoenix Forces!

The ferocious, hungry, and poisonous dragon unfurled its purple wings, shining upon the phoenix-man.

Seeing this, the Holy Tomb Visitor raised his weapon and pointed it at the Phoenix. Under the control of the puppet strings, the Phoenix's body twitched and then turned into flames, crashing into the fused dragon.

The effects of Phoenix Man!

Hikaru Amagi's lips curled into a smile.

Bang!
The Phoenix Man and the Merged Dragon vanished together.

However, the figures of the two monsters still remained on Amagi Hikaru's field.

"No matter how much you try to control them, it's meaningless, because they are my partners, my fusion—I won't go into the effects of the Phoenix people. The effects of fusing with dragons—"

If this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed, activate this effect: Destroy all Special Summoned monsters on your opponent's field!

The fused dragon was already used to this scene. It spread its huge purple wings and charged at the stage dragon.

"Hiss..." The Holy Tomb Visitor growled softly, then swung its weapon and took the card from the graveyard.

Except for the Brand Opening, which can replace the destruction of the Fusion Monster on the field!

Not only that, it also pointed its axe at Amagi Hikaru's grave. The Phoenix, who had finally managed to break free of control, was dragged onto its field by countless puppet strings.

"Ughhhhh!" the phoenix-man roared, but was still pulled back.

"I'm sorry, Phoenix... I'll bring you back right away."

Hikaru Amagi calmed it down a bit.

“Next… it’s time to use this.” Hikaru Amagi looked at the Fusion Spell Card she had drawn this turn.

“It does feel like fate,” Tiera nodded in agreement. “Back then, when you faced the Strike Dragon and the Earthbound God, did you foresee what would happen today?”

“I can’t predict the future, how could I possibly know… But I will never forget the help from the Earthbound Gods.”

"Normal Summon: Earthbound Prisoner, Landkeeper!"

Earthbound Prisoner, Land Guardian, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 300.
Unlike his previous imprisonment in chains and shackles, the Land Keeper has completely shed his restraints, recovered his health, and transformed into a handsome kobold.

"If Landkeeper is Special Summoned, this effect activates. Special Summon 1 Level 5 or lower Earthbound monster other than Landkeeper from your Deck or Graveyard. After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck except Fusion or Synchro Monsters until the end of this turn."

Just before heading to Synchro Dimension, after hearing the voice of the Red Dragon again, the Earthbound Gods seemed to gradually regain their fighting spirit. While the "Three Knights" were analyzing the situation, they had already secretly infiltrated Amagi Hikaru's deck.

Special Summon Level 5 Rock Sweeper from your Deck!

"Woo~~" The little whale emerged from the ground, looking extremely joyful without its shackles.

Earthbound Prisoner Stone Sweeper, Level 5, Dark Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 1600.
Hikaru Amagi casually picked up a card, smiled, and said, "That's it!"

"Magic Card, Otherworldly Resonance - Synchro Fusion".

"This card can Synchro Summon and Fusion Monsters on the field at the same time."

Hikaru Amagi raised his right hand and pointed forward: "Use a level 1 Tuner Landkeeper and a level 5 Rock Sweeper to tune the stars."

At the same time, Hikaru Amagi raised his left hand and waved it like a pointer: "Merge the Level 1 Land Guardian and the Level 5 Stone Sweeper!"

"The Synchro Summoning condition is that you have at least one DARK Tuner or a non-Tuner monster."

"The fusion condition is one Earthbound Monster and one DARK monster."

"Synchronic Summon!"

"Level 6, Earthbound Earth-Painting Spirit!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Level 6, Earthbound Earth-Painted Female Spirit!"

Earthbound Earth-Bound Spirit, Level 6, Dark Attribute, Fiend Race, Attack Power 2000, Synchro Monster.

Earthbound Earth-Painted Female Spirit, Level 6, Dark Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 2000, Fusion Monster.

The two monsters broke free of their restraints and flew side by side, looking quite affectionate.

"Huh?" The Holy Tomb Visitor looked at the Synchro Monster and chuckled.

"It seems he still retains some consciousness," Amagi Hikaru speculated. "But don't worry, you'll soon see my [fusion]."

"First, there's the effect of Earth Sprite. It can only be activated during your or your opponent's Main Phase. Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Your opponent chooses 1 monster from the following, and you apply that effect."

First, the targeted monster is destroyed; second, your Life Points are restored to equal to the ATK of the targeted monster.

"I want to choose the proscenium stage dragon."

The Holy Tomb Visitor growled and casually tossed aside the comedy in his hand, rendering Amagi Hikaru's effect ineffective.

But it itself was already somewhat agitated.

The reason is simple: the existence of this monster prevents it from summoning Aruba to fuse with the Hexagon, and then it can only watch its opponent "struggle desperately but can't fight back" and watch the ridiculous scene of several elves struggling.

Unexpectedly, the opponent pulled out such a card.

Even if no health is restored this turn, the opponent can use its effect to absorb their own health next turn, making it impossible to use COST to burn and drive the opponent to despair.

But then it grinned maliciously.

the reason is simple.

Ultimately, they are just two monsters with an attack power of only 2000, so they can't do anything about the monsters on the field.

"The effect of Earth-Painting Fairy can be activated by targeting 1 DARK Synchro Monster you control. That monster can attack directly this turn."

Hikaru Amagi's field only has one DARK Synchro Monster, which is Terrifying!
"The Earth-Painting Monster attacks directly."

The Earth-Painting Spirit leaped from Amagi Hikaru's field, dodging the giant dragon and countless puppet strings that attacked him, and rushed straight to the Holy Tomb Visitor, slapping it.

Holy Sepulchre Visitor, LP: 3600 → 1600.
The visitor to the Holy Sepulchre was shaken by the blow, and a crack appeared in his body, from which a faint light seeped out.

It doesn't seem like enough.

Amagi Hikaru made his own judgment.

“Hah…”

The Holy Tomb Visitor, who had stood up again, paid no attention to his injuries and chuckled at Amagi Hikaru in a low voice.

They talked about ultimate fusion, but so far, the monsters that have caused the most damage are actually Synchro Monsters.

"It seems that simply reducing lives is useless... Well then, I'm sorry, don't blame me for being too heavy-handed!"
Activate the effect of Earthbound Ring Earthbound Spirit! You can activate this effect during either your or your opponent's Battle Phase. Banish 1 Earthbound monster from your hand, field, or Graveyard as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon 1 such monster!

I'll use the Synchro Monster Earthbound Grimoire and the Fusion Monster Earthbound Grimoire as Fusion Material!

"O great winged demon, who perseveres on the path of eternity in resonance with particles—"

"Now, unite these two different powers and descend upon this place!"

A huge red mural slowly began to appear on the entire dueling arena, from which a colossal god descended leisurely.

"Fusion Summon!"

"Level 10!"

"Earthbound Bound Earth-Painted Winged Dog Demon!"

The crimson dog demon flung its arms out and roared at the sky.

Compared to some of His lower-ranking followers, His energy level is too high to be disguised as a magical toy, so He has not had many opportunities to show His true form. Now that He can appear in His true form, He is quite excited.

“3…000…” The visitor to the Holy Tomb raised his weapon, grinning as he managed to utter a few words.

"Its attack power is lower than your Proscenium Dragon, but..."

"Battle! Earth-Painted Winged Hound Demon attacks Mirror Stage Dragon, activating His divine power—Activated at the start of the Damage Step when this card battles a monster. That monster's ATK and DEF become 0!"

!!!

The visitor to the Holy Sepulchre was horrified; a part of his body even exploded from the wires!

Reset to zero!

It has the same effect!

but……

More direct!
The Earth-Painting Winged Dog Demon slowly flapped its wings and flew to the Earth-Painting in the sky. Observing the terrible scene around it, it took a deep breath, then opened its mouth and exhaled a terrifying stream of turbid liquid...

wow...

A crimson and black beam of light pierced through the entire arena from Amagi Hikaru's field, instantly slicing the Proscenium Dragon in two. Then, the Holy Grail Visitor's body was also pierced through by this immense force.

Its body split open from the middle, then burst open with a "bang" sound, shattering into pieces that scattered and flew to various places!

Holy Sepulchre Visitor, LP: 1600 → 0.
The three knights breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was somewhat dangerous, the master still managed to complete the fusion—but to force the master to use the power of Earthbind, this spirit is indeed very strong.

Amagi Hikaru looked up and saw those strangely shaped elves rushing towards the "shattered" Holy Tomb Visitors like sharks that had smelled blood.

"Flame Sword, Black Flame, Captain!"

The three elves immediately responded and rushed off from different directions to collect the "Visitors to the Holy Tomb".

Then, as more elves surrounded them, Tiela made a move, summoning several Hellfire Machines to isolate the area with infernal fire, allowing Tiancheng Guang and the elves to take their belongings and evacuate quickly.

Torn to pieces...

Amagi Hikaru stared into thought as he looked at the Holy Tomb Visitor, who had been shattered into several different forms of elves.
