Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!

“My turn.”

Tenjo Hikari went first, and after drawing, immediately put the card in his hand, and by the way, drew a card from his left: “Activate the continuous magic card, Flame Swordsman Territory.”

“Flame Swordsman opening, huh?” Burns weighed it in his mind.

Although Flame Swordsman is just a fusion monster with 1800 attack points and no effect, those who know Tenjo Hikari know very well that he is most serious only when using Flame Swordsman.

“Send the Phantom Flame Swordsman in my hand to the graveyard and activate the effect of Flame Swordsman Territory. Fusion summon Flame Swordsman from the Extra Deck.”

The Flame Swordsman waved his long sword, laughing and standing in front of Tenjo Hikari: “My lord, watch me show my power!”

Flame Swordsman, Level 5, FIRE Attribute, Warrior Type, DEF 1600.

“Turn end.”

“Although he performed a fusion summon with only one card, the summoned fusion monster only has 1600 defense and no face-down card. Is this really okay?” While the Fusion Army soldiers were being tied up, Edge Imp Scissor retreated to the gate of the Sanctuary, protecting some young elves with his body, while asking worriedly.

If it were any other time, Tierra would definitely confidently tell the surrounding elves that Tenjo Hikari would win.

But today she wants to act like an expert.

However, although these elves didn’t seem too worried, Burns on the opposite side was already frowning.

Although there is only Flame Swordsman Territory and Flame Swordsman, Tenjo Hikari’s field protection is not bad at all.

The Phantom Flame Swordsman used to fusion summon Flame Swordsman has the ability to revive when a FIRE monster on the field is destroyed. Not only that, the monster can even self-destruct when battling an opponent’s monster.

In addition to that, even if he doesn’t use this ability, its attack power is 2800 points. If it is destroyed, he can special summon another Flame Swordsman from the Extra Deck.

Not only that, even if they are destroyed by battle or effect, or even if Tenjo Hikari’s field is cleared, he only needs to use Flame Swordsman Territory to fusion summon another Flame Swordsman in the next turn, and it will all start again.

Quite tricky.

So, he must prevent that from happening.

“My turn, draw.”

He drew a card, but didn’t look at it immediately. Instead, he activated a magic card: “Magic Card, Toy Vendor.”

“Toy Vendor?” Tierra instantly darkened her face.

“Could this guy be the human that you guys recognized?” What she meant was that she was very dissatisfied with the Toy monsters’ choice of partners.

Fluffal Bear quickly shook his head: “No, no, God, our partner is a person wearing yellow clothes, who looks different from your attire.”

Tenjo Hikari heard this and thought about it, guessing it might be Sumi Subaru.

“God, please let me explain, Bear is our youngest child, and doesn’t know much.” Leo came to Tierra and knelt down on one knee, saying, “There are two humans who cooperate with our Toy Factory. One is a human about the same size as this warrior, named Sumi Subaru.

The other is very young, named Shuin’in Sora.”

This time, Tierra was satisfied.

“That guy forcibly controlled my people.” Sawtooth Lion said unwillingly to Tenjo Hikari.

Tenjo Hikari nodded lightly, without saying anything.

“Toy Vendor can only be activated once per turn by discarding a card from your hand. Draw 1 card from your deck and show it to both players. If the confirmed card is a [Fluffal] monster, you can special summon 1 monster from your hand. If it isn’t, discard the drawn card.”

“I discard Edge Imp Chain from my hand and draw a card.”

Burns touched the top of the deck, exerted a little force, then drew a card, glanced at it, and sneered, showing it to everyone: “Fluffal Rabbit.”

“I directly special summon Fluffal Rabbit.”

A lifeless-looking stuffed rabbit appeared from the field, its body full of shackles, standing there mechanically as if it had lost its will.

Fluffal Rabbit, Level 1, EARTH Attribute, Angel Type, ATK 300.

“At this moment, the effect of Edge Imp Chain, which was discarded and sent to the graveyard, is activated. If this card is sent to the graveyard from the hand or field, add 1 [Frightfur] card from your deck to your hand. I choose Toy Vendor.”

“Ehhh—”

“Wuuuuu.”

Some of the surrounding Fluffal monster spirits couldn’t help but tremble.

Even Tierra lightly raised her eyebrows.

With this series of operations, nothing was lost, and he even got another Toy Vendor, and he can use it again next turn!

With these few rounds of cards, won’t he never lack cards in hand or Fusion?

“Magic Card, Polymerization.”

It’s not over yet!

Burns is still operating.

“Fuse the Fluffal Rabbit on the field and the Edge Imp Scissor in my hand!”

A huge pair of scissors flew out from his side and directly stabbed the rabbit doll. After a violent tearing, there was a loud “crack”, and the rabbit’s abdomen was directly cut open, and the entire toy was gutted, turning into a blue-skinned wolf.

Frightfur Wolf, Level 6, DARK Attribute, Fiend Type, ATK 2000.

The Edge Imp Scissor next to Tenjo Hikari lowered its body, with some low growls coming from its mouth, looking like it was about to pounce at any moment.

Perhaps the Edge Imp Scissor in Burns's hand is still its friend.

“Fluffal Rabbit’s effect: If this card is sent to the graveyard as a fusion material, target 1 Fluffal monster other than [Fluffal Rabbit] or 1 [Edge Imp Scissor] in your graveyard. Add that monster to your hand.”

He slowly took the card back into his hand.

“Then, battle—Frightfur Wolf attacks Flame Swordsman!”

The wolf, who was covered in shackles, like a kept hunting dog, roared to the sky, and then pounced on Flame Swordsman, shattering it with one claw.

Flame Swordsman didn’t even have time to call out to Tenjo Hikari before disappearing from the field.

“The effect of Phantom Flame Swordsman in the graveyard! When a FIRE Fusion Monster on your field is destroyed by battle or card effect, Special Summon it!”

Ding ling ling——

A long sword burning with blue flames floated next to Tenjo Hikari, and then, a knight in black armor held it in his hand, and his dark armor instantly burned to a golden color.

Phantom Flame Swordsman, Level 8, FIRE Attribute, Warrior Type, ATK 2800.

“Heh, battle end.”

Although Frightfur Wolf could continue to attack, Burns wouldn’t attack anymore.

His basic purpose has been achieved.

“Activate the magic card, Polymerization Recovery, return the fusion materials and fusion magic from the graveyard to the hand, and then, I activate the magic card, Polymerization——

Fuse Scissor and Rabbit again!”

“Fusing with the same fusion materials, but what’s the point?” Tierra couldn’t help but ask this question.

“God, even if the fusion materials are the same, there are different fusion directions.” Bear raised his bear paw and said to Tierra.

This is common sense——

Before he could say this, the lion next to him directly covered his mouth.

Children are just children, is this something that can be said!

Tierra didn’t hold any grudges, but nodded suddenly.

I see.

He wants to fuse another useful monster.

“The fusion condition is Edge Imp Scissor and one or more Fluffal monsters.”

“Fusion Summon——Frightfur Tiger!”

As before, another Fluffal was cut open and torn apart by scissors, but this time, a green-skinned tiger toy appeared.

Frightfur Tiger, Level 6, DARK Attribute, Fiend Type, ATK 2000.

“When Frightfur Tiger is Fusion Summoned, you can target monsters on the field up to the number of its fusion materials. Destroy those cards.” Burns stretched out his right hand, extended his index and middle fingers, and said, “Frightfur Tiger’s fusion materials are 2, so I can destroy two cards on the field.

I destroy your Flame Swordsman Territory and your Phantom Flame Swordsman!”

Frightfur Tiger desperately tore open its body. The two scissors in its body flew out like shurikens, spinning wildly, piercing through the things on Tenjo Hikari’s field.

Bang bang——

Tenjo Hikari’s field was instantly cleared.

“Phantom Flame Swordsman’s effect: If this card is destroyed and sent to the graveyard by the effect of another card, activate it. Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower [Flame Swordsman] or a monster with that card name written on it from your Deck or Extra Deck.”

“I choose the Fusion Monster, Fighting Flame Dragon.”

After the explosion, Flame Swordsman’s weapon rotated in the air, and a red dragon rose from the ground, surging on the earth, and then bit the huge weapon in one bite.

Fighting Flame Dragon, Level 5, FIRE Attribute, Dragon Type, DEF 1600.

“Although you didn’t get rid of the Phantom Flame Swordsman, this way, you no longer have the Flame Swordsman Territory for continuous combat and increased attack power.”

Some of the Fluffal monster spirits gradually came back to their senses at this time, sorting out the continuous regeneration and sustainability of the three cards, Flame Swordsman, Phantom Flame Swordsman, and Flame Swordsman Territory.

“Not bad, this guy.” Tierra couldn’t help but say next to Tenjo Hikari.

“However, if it’s just like this, it’s not enough to solve your tactics.” Burns stroked his chin, sneering as before, “Next turn, you can still use Fighting Flame Dragon to attack Frightfur Wolf. Losing a little Life Points is nothing to you. The revived Phantom Flame Swordsman not only has 2800 attack power, but can even activate its effect and self-destruct with any monster.”

“I won’t give you that chance, Tenjo Hikari——”

He suddenly gritted his teeth, his eyes glowing red, and on his neck, two blood-red dots emerged.

The two red dots were like the unlucky ones bitten by vampires in vampire movies, emitting a scarlet light, faintly exuding a bloody smell.

Immediately afterwards, centered on the two blood dots, two strange red characters began to slowly write on his neck.

“We Fusion Army are doing the great cause of fusing all dimensions of mankind into one, truly unifying the world! It is to prevent people in all dimensions from fearing and worrying about other dimensions, and to eliminate all barriers between people!

Tenjo Hikari, you and the humans of your master’s faction are our greatest enemies!”

While he was talking nonsense, the numbers on his neck became more and more obvious.

24!

“Waaaaaa——”

His pupils also turned blood red, and his teeth began to sharpen, like a real vampire.

In order to win, he was willing to give up his human identity!

“Use the two Level 6 Fusion Monsters on the field as Xyz Materials to construct the Xyz Network!”

The two toy demons swayed, and after a struggle, they turned into two blood-colored spheres.

A huge jet-black vortex appeared in the very center of this dimension.

The two blood-colored spheres rumbled twice, merging into it.

Immediately afterwards, a huge cube of red, black, and occasionally silver-white ornaments rose from the vortex.

As it rose, it seemed that everyone heard the sound of a violent heartbeat, thump, thump, thump.

“O legendary Progenitor Vampire, absorb my blood at will and pave the way for our true solemn path!”

Blood flowed from his body, mixing into the huge square.

“Xyz Summon!”

“No.24 Dragonblood Vampire Dragulas!”

The blood moon slowly descended, and a dragon-humanoid life was born from the cube, standing high under the blood moon, exuding a intoxicating blood light.

No.24 Dragonblood Vampire Dragulas, Rank 6, DARK Attribute, Phantom Dragon Type, DEF 2800, Xyz Material 2.

After summoning this monster, Burns staggered for a while, his left leg weakened, and he almost fell to the ground.

He clutched his chest, panting non-stop, looking extremely painful.

Too much blood had been drawn from him during this period, but facing Tenjo Hikari, he had to go all out, otherwise he wouldn’t even know how he died.

After seeing this monster appear, Sawtooth Lion, who was originally assisted by “foreign aid”, suddenly wailed to the sky.

“Damn it—he still managed to summon that [invincible] monster!”

Invincible?

Tenjo Hikari raised his eyebrows lightly.

“Heh…heh…” Burns gasped for breath, looking at Tenjo Hikari and sneering, “That’s right, Tenjo Hikari, you’ve already lost. My [Dragonblood Vampire] is invincible!”

He excitedly clenched his fists in front of him. With Dragonblood Vampire, he finally didn’t have to worry about Tenjo Hikari’s record of winning every battle against the Fusion Army.

Because——

“There is no way to defeat Dragonblood Vampire!”
