【The Treasure Book That Circulates】

(Spell Card)

Effect: Draw 2 cards from your deck. At the end of your turn, send 1 card to the Graveyard. If you do not send it to the Graveyard, take 3000 damage.

-

The illustration on the magic card depicts a card that floats back and forth in the water like a leaf.

Just like the scene depicted in this card, as a price to replenish two cards from the deck, Sword Mountain must discard one of his cards at the end of the turn.

Otherwise, he would lose 3000 LP due to the side effects of the magic card, and with his life points reaching zero, he would face defeat in the duel.

"...Next, I'll activate the Spell Card [Living Fossil] from my hand!"

After replenishing his hand with two more cards from his deck, Kenzan took out another card from his hand and activated it.

Showing the magic cards in his hand, he stared at Jim's mountain of swords and then said in a deep voice, "Based on the effect of this card, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my Graveyard and equip this card to that monster!"

"...Rise! [Little Horned Dragon] (Attack Power: 500)!"

The little horned dragon, dragging its eggshell along its lower body, was revived from the graveyard and brought back to the field of Sword Mountain by the effect of a spell card.

Needless to say, it, which appears at this moment, will inevitably face the fate of becoming a sacrifice and being freed.

"...Then, I will sacrifice [Little Horned Dragon] to activate the spell card [Great Evolution Elixir] in my hand!"

By sacrificing monsters on the field, Kenzan activated a new Spell Card from his hand.

After that, a huge projection of a new spell card appeared in front of Kenzan as [Little Horned Dragon] and [Living Fossil] left the field.

Jim: "...What? [The Great Evolution Drug]?"

Kenzan: "Although [Great Evolution Potion] is a Normal Spell Card, it will remain on my field for three turns after its activation... And while this card is on my field, when I summon a high-level Dinosaur-Type monster, I no longer need to tribute it, and I can summon it directly from my hand!"

Jim: "...?!"

Clenching his fist tightly, Jian Shan couldn't help but reveal a smug expression on his face.

Although [Ultimate Transmission Terrorbeast] cannot be summoned through normal summoning, his hand contains more than just this one high-level monster!

"...Go! Using the effect of the [Great Evolution Potion], I summoned the Level 8 Dinosaur-Type monster from my hand—[Dragonlegs Brachiosaurus]—directly to my field!"

As he said this, Kenzan slammed the card in his hand onto the deck of the Duel Disk.

As he moved, a massive black brachiosaurus with a long neck appeared in the light of the monster summoning in the next instant, appearing on his field.

This incredibly large herbivorous dinosaur, just standing still, exudes a powerful and awe-inspiring presence with its massive body, which resembles a giant mountain.

【Brachiosaurus】

(Dinosaur Race/Earth/8-Star/Attack: 1500/Defense: 3000)

effect:

This card cannot be Special Summoned from the Deck.

This card can be Tribute Summoned by Tributing 1 Dinosaur-Type monster face-up.

①: Can only be activated during your Main Phase. This card is changed to face-down Defense Position (once per turn).

②: If this card is Flip Summoned, activate this effect. All monsters on the field except this card are changed to face-down Defense Position. ③: If this card is attacked, the battle damage inflicted on your opponent in that battle is doubled.

"Dinosaur boy! You're not planning to activate some effect yet, are you?"

As Jianshan pulled out magic cards from his hand one after another, Jim couldn't help but jokingly ask a question.

Upon hearing this, Kenzan paused for a moment, then smiled and gave an affirmative answer: "That's right! Just as you think!"

"...Next, I activate the Spell Card from my hand—[Tail Slash]! Select one Level 5 or higher Dinosaur-Type monster on your field. If your opponent controls a monster with a lower Level than the selected monster, you can select up to two monsters on their field and return them to their original owners' hands!"

Jim: "...What?!"

Kenzan: "Hey! The level of [Dragon-footed Beast Brachiosaurus] is 8, which surpasses your level 4 [Soul Eater Oviraptor] and level 2 [Specimen Fossil]!"

"Therefore, under the effect of the spell card, these two monsters will return to their respective hands! [Specimen Fossil] will be bounced back to your hand, and [Soul Eater Oviraptor] will also return to my hand!"

As Jian Shan finished speaking, golden light began to appear on the bodies of the two monsters on Jim's field.

As the light shimmered, the two monsters on his field became hazy and indistinct, like glare under the sun, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

After that, the two monsters that disappeared from the field and were bounced back into their hands also transformed into cards and appeared in Jim and Sword Mountain's hands.

"Heh... another fantastic combination..."

Jim glanced at the monster that bounced back into his hand, and a look of admiration flashed across his face.

Last turn he cleared out Kenzan's front row, but this turn Kenzan has taken the initiative and managed to deal with the monsters in his front row...

"This time, it's my turn to counterattack! [Dragonfoot Brachiosaurus] launches a direct attack on the duelist!"

With a wave of his hand, he entered the battle phase. At this moment, his eyes transformed into the vertical pupils of a dinosaur, and he gave the attack command to the monster in front of him.

Upon receiving this command, the [Dragon-footed Beast Brachiosaurus] charged towards Jim with its massive body, unleashing unparalleled power and knocking him to the ground behind it.

(Jim LP: 4000 → 2500)

"Um... I'm sorry, Karen!"

"Gulu..."

Feeling the soft touch of flesh behind him, Jim realized that Karen had taken the impact for him. He cast an apologetic look at the crocodile he considered family.

Karen responded to Jim with a gurgling sound that meant "it's okay".

"Entering Main Phase 2, I activate the first effect of [Dragonfoot Brachiosaurus] Once per turn, this card can be changed to face-down Defense Position."

Compared to its relatively meager 1500 attack power, the [Dragonfoot Beast Brachiosaurus] boasts a solid 3000 defense, enough to withstand the legendary dragon's 3000 attack power.

Even if Jim summons some kind of fossil dragon or something, Jianshan is confident enough to withstand the attack of such a monster.

"My turn is over... According to the follow-up effect of [Circulating Treasure], during the end phase of the turn I activated this card, I must send one card from my hand to the graveyard..."

Explaining the side effects of the magic cards, Kenzan paused, then sent the [Ultimate Conduction Terrorbeast] card from his hand, which he couldn't use for the time being, to his graveyard as the price.

Without the [Ultimate Evolution Potion] in hand and lacking the corresponding summoning resources in the graveyard, discarding the extra [Ultimate Teleporting Terror] in hand is undoubtedly the more correct choice at this critical moment, compared to the relatively useful [Soul Eater Oviraptor].

"Hmm... this level of injury doesn't seem any different from usual..."

Jim stood up, dusted himself off, and then assessed his current condition.

After realizing that the duel had not had much of an effect on him, Jim immediately concluded that "electromagnetic waves were not the main cause."

if that is the case……

"...My turn, draw a card!"

With a jumble of thoughts swirling in his mind, Jim, whose turn it was, reached out and drew a new card from his deck.

After adding the card to his hand and pondering for a moment, Jim activated a spell card from his hand: "I send the [Specimen Fossil] from my hand to the Graveyard as cost, and activate the spell card [Specimen Review]!"

"...Based on the effect of this card, I declare the Level and Type of a monster, and my opponent must send one monster from their hand or Deck that meets the corresponding condition to the Graveyard."

"What? The corresponding race and level?!"

Upon hearing Jim's explanation of the almost riddle-like effect of the magic card, a look of doubt appeared on Jian Shan's face.

“That’s right! My declared level and race are… Level 8, Dinosaur!”

With a blank expression, Jim pointed to the location of Sword Mountain. After a moment's thought, he gave his answer in a confident tone.

Since this is a deck that focuses on dinosaur-type monsters, the most common monsters in the Kenzan deck will inevitably be dinosaur-type monsters.

Level 8 is a very common level for ace monsters, so there's definitely no problem with the declaration.

"Gurgle... I'm sending the qualified [Ultimate Terror Beast] from my deck to the graveyard!"

After taking the deck out of the Duel Disk and selecting an 8-star Dinosaur-Type monster that met the corresponding conditions, Kenzan gritted his teeth in reluctance and then reluctantly sent it to his Graveyard.

682 Paleozoic fossil dinosaur - Skull Demon Slayer

Due to the effect of Jim's Spell Card "Specimen Review", Kenzan was forced to send the monsters in his deck whose correct race and level were called to the Graveyard.

As Kenzan sent the Level 8 Dinosaur-Type monster "Ultimate Terror Beast" from his deck to the Graveyard, Jim simultaneously stretched out his arm and activated his second Spell Card.

"I activate the Spell Card [Fossil Fusion] from my hand!"

Jim continued, displaying the Special Fusion Spell Card in his hand once more: "I banish the Rock-Type monster 'Speed ​​Fossil' from my Graveyard and the 'Ultimate Terror Beast' from my Sword Mountain Graveyard from my Duel... Using them as materials, I will use the effect of 'Fossil Fusion' to perform a Fusion Summon!"

"Gah... Fossil Fusion?! This card again?"

As the effects of the Spell Cards were activated, the monsters in both players' Graveyards were banished and, upon popping out of the Duel Disk, were placed into their respective pockets by Jim and Kenzan.

After that, Jim, carrying the crocodile Kallen on his back, clenched his right fist in front of him, a solemn expression appearing in his eyes: "...Fusion Summon! Come forth! My ace monster—[Paleozoic Fossil Dragon - Skull Demon Slayer] (Attack Power: 3500)!!!"

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and a deafening roar resounded.
