Chapter 474: No Matter How Good a Card Is, If You Can't Play It During Your Opponent's Turn—Nani?!
"My Turn, Draw a Card."
Hayato lowered his head to confirm the card he drew this Turn. He wasn't in a hurry to Activate it, instead looking at the 【Cyber Ogre 2】.
"As expected of the 'Cyber Style'. Using Fusion three times in one Turn to achieve such powerful suppression ability. An ordinary Duelist probably wouldn't even survive the First Turn."
Besides the card he just drew, Hayato's Hand only contained three useless 【Ojama】 monsters. Summoning them for Field presence would be completely useless. After all, Hayato's memory wasn't so bad that he'd forget the 【Future Fusion】 his Opponent Activated last Turn.
Next Turn, his Opponent was going to Summon 【Cyber End Dragon】 which has piercing damage. Summoning a few small fry with only 1000 DEF would just be asking for trouble.
Other than that, Hayato's Field consisted of 【A-Assault Core】 and 【B-Buster Drake】.
In Hayato's previous life, 【ABC-Dragon Buster】 was listed as a Limited Card, only allowing one copy in the Deck, due to its overly simple Summoning requirements. This greatly restricted its performance, though it was still a considerably excellent engine that could be added to other Decks. However, the current 【ABC-Dragon Buster】 had only appeared for the first time in this World during the Duel against the Former Cyber Style Master, so it was naturally impossible for it to be listed as a Limited Card.
But unfortunately, Hayato still hadn't included more than one copy of 【ABC-Dragon Buster】 in his Deck. The reason was simple: it was too expensive.
The 【A】, 【B】, and 【C】 cards were cards Hayato pulled from the 【Horakhty, the Creator of Light】 Support Card Pack associated with 【Divine-Beast Type】. The System's explanation was, "【Horakhty, the Creator of Light】 can even create light, so how could Divine-Beast Type monsters be so inconvenient?" In short, it was just arbitrarily making things up, relying on its highest interpretive authority.
And since he accidentally drew all three 【A】, 【B】, and 【C】, Hayato wasn't going to let them sit idle in the Warehouse. He thought about going to the Shop to directly exchange for 【ABC-Dragon Buster】 and potentially the usable 【AtoZ-Dragon Buster Cannon】.
'Red Dad and Slacker only cost 30,000 DP Points to exchange. Although my current DP Points are exactly 30,000, exchanging for the boss monster means I can't afford the necessary Support Cards. But exchanging for two UR cards that aren't the absolute top tier shouldn't be a problem.'
That's what Hayato thought at the time, and he Searched for the target cards in the Shop. Three seconds later, his DP Points balance dropped to an awkward 500 Points. For a moment, Hayato wondered if the System had adjusted the card prices in real-time just to leave him with 500 Points.
In short, while Hayato did have 【ABC-Dragon Buster】, unfortunately, he only had the one copy that had already been sent to the Graveyard by Disassembling. So, even though the three material monsters were all present on his Field and in his Graveyard, he couldn't Summon it again until he Recycled 【ABC-Dragon Buster】 from the Graveyard.
"Looks like Aniki is in a tough spot, ne~"
In Hayato's Hand, 【Ojama Yellow】 crawled halfway out of the Card, resting his arm on the Card border and poking his head out to say proudly, "At a time like this, the only ones Aniki can Use are us, right?"
"With Aniki's strength, he must have just drawn a Card that can Utilize our power."
"See? We're Aniki's Ace Card after all."
"Who says only those standing in the light are Heroes? Just Use us to your heart's content, Aniki!"
【Ojama Green】 and 【Ojama Black】 also poked their heads out of the Card, giving their full power to butter him up. At the same time, 【Ojama Yellow】 even sent his two eyeballs towards the Hand Hayato had just drawn but hadn't had time to confirm, wanting to see what Card Hayato had drawn this Turn.
Listening to the 【Ojama】 monsters' remarks, Hayato's mouth twitched. He glanced at the Card he had just drawn: "Is that so? Then I'll Use you to my heart's content. It just so happens to be a Card that can perfectly put you to Use."
"Eh? What is it? What is it?"
"It must be 【Polymerization】! The Three Brothers combine into one to single-handedly defend against that 【Cyber Ogre 2】!"
【Ojama Green】 and 【Ojama Black】 looked at Hayato with some anticipation as he placed the Card he had just drawn into the Spell & Trap Zone on his Duel Disk.
【Ojama Black】's idea wasn't bad. 【Ojama King】, formed by Fusing the three 【Ojama】 monsters, indeed had the ability to defend against 【Cyber Ogre 2】 because of its 3000 DEF and 0 ATK.
However, against the 4000 ATK 【Cyber End Dragon】, it would just be crushed.
【Ojama Yellow】 clung lively to Hayato's Duel Disk, looking at the Magic Card that was Activated face-up, and at the same time heard Hayato's voice: "Since my Hand, other than this Card, has two or more cards, I Activate the Magic Card 【Left Arm Offering】!"
"Huh?" Hearing the word "Stakes" in the Magic Card's Card Name, 【Ojama Yellow】 suddenly had an ominous premonition. He quickly lowered his head and read out the Effect of 【Left Arm Offering】: "If you have 2 or more cards in your Hand other than this card, Banish all of them to Activate this card. Add 1 Magic Card from your Deck to your Hand?!"
"Banish us, all of us!?"
"No way, Aniki!!"
"Yamero—"
Although the 【Ojama】 Brothers tried to perform a "My Struggle for Survival" act, Hayato had superior skill. With a slap of the Card, he forced the 【Ojama】 Brothers, who were about to crawl out, back into the cards. Then, ignoring 【Ojama Yellow】's groan of "My waist is going to break," he stuffed them into his pocket to Banish them.
"An Effect that lets you Add a Magic Card directly from your Deck to your Hand? Did you Use such a Card because you couldn't Draw the Card you needed through simple Card Draw? It seems you're still not qualified as a Duelist, young man."
With his arms crossed, the Former Cyber Style Master commented on the 【Left Arm Offering】 Hayato Activated. However, Hayato denied it: "You're wrong about that, stubborn old man. As a Duelist, creating the Draw you need is a basic quality."
"However, I had my own goal in specifically Banishing the other three cards in my Hand. After all, sometimes, dead people are more useful than living ones." He paused, then Displayed the Card he had Added to his Hand, "For example, when Using this Card!"
"Magic Card, 【Graceful Charity】! As the best Card Drawing Card currently available, this Limited Card has the ability to replenish both players' Hands to six cards simultaneously!"
Saying this, Hayato drew six cards from his Deck in one go.
"You can Draw more cards after removing the excess from your Hand? But doing so also helped me draw cards. Since my Hand was also 0, I drew six cards." The Previous Master/Instructor said, not even looking down. He reached out and drew exactly six cards from the Top of Deck, no more, no less.
It was clear that the Draw Training the Apprentices were doing when Hayato first entered the Cyber Style Dojo was something this old man hadn't neglected despite his age.
After Confirming the cards he drew, the Previous Master/Instructor's mouth curved up. It seemed like he drew some useful cards with 【Graceful Charity】.
"You drew some good cards, huh..." Hayato naturally saw that the Former Cyber Style Master had drawn some good cards, but he wasn't flustered, because his Hand wasn't bad either. "However, no matter how good a Hand is, it's meaningless if you can't play it during your Opponent's Turn."
"Watch me End the Duel this Turn!"
Saying this, Hayato played a Card from his Hand, "Let me show you the Bond Card I received from a Friend!"
"Magic Card, 【Change of Heart】! I gain Control of your 【Cyber Ogre 2】 on the Field until the End Phase!"
"Wh-What?!"
The Previous Master/Instructor's eyes widened. Clearly, he hadn't expected the so-called "Bond Card" Hayato mentioned to be 【Change of Heart】. Using a Card that lets you Take Control of someone else's Monster as a Bond Card... what kind of shady bond is that?
The half-Angel, half-Demon Priest in 【Change of Heart】 released a pink light wave commonly seen in hypnosis doujinshi. Seeing his Monster about to be taken, the pure-love faction Former Cyber Style Master immediately Activated his Set Card in the Spell/Trap Zone: "Don't even think about it! I won't let you do that!"
"Chain to your 【Change of Heart】, I Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card I Set last Turn, 【De-Fusion】!"
Before the pink hypnosis light wave could hit, the Effect of 【De-Fusion】 took Effect first, Disassembling the 【Cyber Ogre 2】 on the Previous Master/Instructor's Field back into the two 【Cyber Ogre】 monsters sleeping in his Graveyard.
【Cyber Ogre】【5☆/EARTH】
【Machine Type/Effect】
【1900/1200】
"Tsk, you dodged it by Using 【De-Fusion】?" Hayato clicked his tongue, annoyed. Although he knew the Set Card in the Opponent's Spell/Trap Zone wasn't just for show, he didn't expect it to be 【De-Fusion】.
Not only can it Disassemble your own Fusion Monster back into its Fusion Material, but if needed, it can also return the Opponent's Fusion Monster to the Deck, just like Hayato taught Joey Wheeler .
Originally, if 【Change of Heart】 had taken Effect, the Former Cyber Style Master's Field would have had no monsters. With his Life Points at only 3000, Hayato could have won by using the gained 【Cyber Ogre 2】 and any monster with 400 or more ATK for a Direct Attack.
But since the 【Change of Heart】 strategy became ineffective, he would just switch to another strategy.
"Although I couldn't gain Control of your 【Cyber Ogre 2】, 【Cyber Ogre】 is much easier to deal with than 【Cyber Ogre 2】, which only increases ATK when it battles. Although there are now two of them."
Hayato drew a Card from his Hand and inserted it into his Duel Disk, "In this situation, the most suitable cards to Use would be cards like 【System Down】 or 【Lightning Vortex】 that can directly Destroy your monsters with Effects. But unfortunately, I haven't included those cards in my Deck."
"However, it's also the fun of Duel Monsters to occasionally change Style and Defeat you with a beatdown."
Hayato played a Card from his Hand: "I change both monsters on my Field from Defense Position to Attack Position, then Activate the Effect of the Continuous Spell Card 【Frontline Base】 on the Field. Once per Turn, I can Special Summon one Union Monster from my Hand. I Special Summon 【Heavy Mech Support Armor】 from my Hand, and then Equip it to 【B-Buster Drake】."
A mechanical device combining multiple pieces of equipment like mechanical arms, wings, and rocket boosters appeared on Hayato's Field, and immediately Disassembled, attaching itself to 【B-Buster Drake】.
【B-Buster Drake】 (Equipped with 【Heavy Mech Support Armor】) 【ATK 1500 → 2000】
"【Heavy Mech Support Armor】 can be equipped to a Machine Type Monster on my Field as an Equip Card, Increasing its ATK by 500. Also, when 【B-Buster Drake】 is Destroyed by Battle or Effect, I can Use the 【Heavy Mech Support Armor】 equipped to it as a substitute."
"Then, Enter Battle Phase!"
The Former Cyber Style Master compared the monsters on both players' Fields—
【Cyber Ogre】【ATK 1900】
【A-Assault Core】【ATK 1900】
【B-Buster Drake】【ATK 2000】
"You want to Destroy one 【Cyber Ogre】 with 【B-Buster Drake】 after Increasing its ATK, and then have 【A-Assault Core】 and the other 【Cyber Ogre】 engage in mutual destruction?"
"In that case, you'll only deal a mere 100 points of Battle Damage to me. But when it's my next Turn, after 【Cyber End Dragon】's descent, this Duel will be over."
Hayato smiled upon hearing this and drew a Card: "No, since I said I would End the Duel this Turn, I will absolutely do it. Mere overclocking Attack Power has never been the patent of 【Cyber Dragon】."
Hayato slapped a Card onto his Duel Disk. It was 【Limiter Removal】?!
Although 【Limiter Removal】 has the downside that the monster whose ATK was increased will be Destroyed during the End Phase, because 【ABC-Dragon Buster】, which Hayato Uses, is quite good at reanimation, the downside can be Avoided by Disassembling it during the Opponent's Turn. Hayato naturally included this useful Quick-Play Spell Card in his Deck and Activated it during the Battle Phase.
【A-Assault Core】【ATK 1900 → 3800】
【B-Buster Drake】【ATK 2000 → 4000】
"After double Attack Power, the Damage increases from the previous 100 points to a full 2100. So grit your teeth and bear it, old man." Hayato raised his Hand high, "I Use 【B-Buster Drake】 to Attack 【Cyber Ogre】!"
"My palm burns with a fiery red flame! It cries out for me to grasp Victory!"
"Bakunetsu!"
"God Finger Heat End!"
Under Hayato's Chuunibyou-filled Attack Declaration, the entire body of 【B-Buster Drake】, equipped with 【Heavy Mech Support Armor】, became scorching hot due to the complete overload of internal Energy, even causing the surrounding air to subtly twist.
Large amounts of Energy accumulated in the Cannon Barrel on its back, ready to fire. With the activation of the rocket boosters, 【B-Buster Drake】 instantly transformed into a green phantom, rushing forward like a teleportation to the defenseless 【Cyber Ogre】 and pressing its two Cannon Barrels against 【Cyber Ogre】's abdomen!
The next second, a zero-range overloaded Cannon Blast!
"Boom!"
Hayato watched the smoke completely engulfing 【B-Buster Drake】 and 【Cyber Ogre】, but he frowned.
【B-Buster Drake】's Attack had indeed gone through; it hadn't been negated by cards like Battle Negation. And the Previous Master/Instructor's Spell/Trap Zone had no Set Card. The cards in his Graveyard so far were all Revealed Cards, and there was no existence like 【Electromagnetic Turtle】.
Logically, 【B-Buster Drake】, having completed its Attack, should have retreated. Also, the Opponent didn't seem to have taken any Damage. What incident could have occurred?
No, wait! Hayato suddenly remembered something. He looked at the other 【Cyber Ogre】 that hadn't been caught in the Attack and stood like an iron tower on the Former Cyber Style Master's Field.
He suddenly recalled that, although not very noticeable, 【Cyber Ogre】 was indeed an Effect Monster, and furthermore, it was a Card whose Card Effect was different between the Anime and Real Card versions!
Masaka?!
"My Turn, Draw a Card."
Hayato lowered his head to confirm the card he drew this Turn. He wasn't in a hurry to Activate it, instead looking at the 【Cyber Ogre 2】.
"As expected of the 'Cyber Style'. Using Fusion three times in one Turn to achieve such powerful suppression ability. An ordinary Duelist probably wouldn't even survive the First Turn."
