Welcome to the Duelist Arena!

Because he had a lot of interactions with the people in the ZEXAL world and regarded them as friends, Kurosaki Hayabusa quietly began to test Eliphas.

"So what if I see Astral? Since it's not the Astral that belongs to my world, it has nothing to do with me!"

"How can you be so sure that Astral is not the Astral that belongs to your world?"

Kurosaki Hayabusa's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had a bad premonition. After all, judging from the previous cases, the arena should not bother to instill this information into the duelists who were pulled over by the arena, that is to say. .....

Eliphas glanced at Astral calmly: "Of course I can be sure. After all, Astral in my world is not in such a good condition right now!"

"Nani?!"

In the audience, Yuma's expression suddenly changed. Others in the ZEXAL area and everyone in the XYZ dimension of the ARC-V area were also shocked. Only Astral himself was not surprised at all, as if he had already guessed.

"Not so good?"

"Hmph! Let's stop your testing! I'm not interested in talking to you about this anymore. I'll cover three cards and end this round!"

[Elifas: Hand: 5 → 6 → 1, Covered Cards: 3, HP: 4000]

Kurosaki Hayabusa's expression became even colder. Since no information could be obtained through testing, there was no need to get entangled with this guy and resolve it as quickly as possible.

"My turn, draw a card! I summon from my hand, Assault Raptor-Expelling Shrike!"

Kurosaki Hayabusa decisively put the card he just drew on the duel plate and summoned a mechanical raptor whose main color was green.

"The effect of the Exorcist Shrike (original version), this card can only be activated in the round when the Special Summon is successful. I special summon an Assault Raptor from my hand - the Exorcist Shrike! I special summon the second Assault from my hand. Raptor - Expulsion Shrike, then the second Expulsion Shrike activates its effect again, and I special summon the third Assault Raptor - Expulsion Shrike from my hand!"

"Three?! Player Kurosaki Hayabusa actually summoned three Assault Birds - Expulsion Shrike in one go? He was able to take on three monsters with the same name at the same time in the first round. What a bond!"

Seeing Kurosaki Hayabusa's operation, the pilot's commentator couldn't help shouting in shock.

In the auditorium, in the ARC-V area, Yu Dou and Liuli looked at each other and were speechless for a while. It was indeed an extremely strong bond. At least this was not the first time for both of them to witness such a scene.

"Then, I activate the magic card, Strike Raptor - Sanctuary (original card)! If there are three or more Strike Raptor monsters on my field, I draw two from the deck and draw a card! I activate the Strike from my hand. The effect of Bird of Prey - Fuzzy Shrike (original version), when I have Bird of Prey - Expulsion Shrike on the field, this card can be Special Summoned from my hand! I summon Fuzzy Shrike in attack position, and then use Bird of Prey - Expel the Shrike and the Assault Raptor - The Fuzzy Shrike builds a network of light! Use your dark eyes to reveal the truth! Use your sharp claws to seize the glory! Level 4, the Assault Raptor - Force the owl!"

As Kurosaki Hayabusa sang, the black glow also built a mechanized body, but what was summoned by this extremely handsome summoning word was a slightly cute looking monster. I had never seen a black one before. The audience of Saki Hayabusa's duel were all stunned.

"The effect of Martial Owl can only be activated once per turn by removing an XYZ material Fuzzy Shrike, add the level 4 dark-attributed Bird-Beast-type monster Assault Raptor-Transformed Shrike from the deck to your hand! Then, the effect of Fuzzy Shrike (original version) can only be used when this card is sent to the graveyard. Activate and add a Assault Bird-Fuzzy Shrike from the deck to my hand! I add the second Fuzzy Shrike from the deck to my hand, and then special summon it to the field again! Then, I use the second one! The expulsion shrike and the second fuzzy shrike build a stack of light networks! The second, level 4, attacking raptor is the forceful forest owl!

"Don't tell me?!"

"That's right! I activate the effect of the second martial owl, remove the Fuzzy Shrike as the XYZ material, and add the Level 4 dark attribute bird-orc monster Assault Raptor-Pushing Shrike from the deck to my hand! Then! , the second Fuzzy Shrike activates its effect, I add the third Fuzzy Shrike from the deck to my hand, and Special Summon it! Then, I activate the effect of the Assault Raptor-Transformed Shrike (original card) in my hand, It can be activated by targeting an Assault Raptor monster on my field. This card in my hand is treated as a monster with the same name and level as the target monster until the end of the turn. I use the Banishing Shrike on the field as the target! The object activates this effect, and then uses the third Exorcist Shrike and the third Fuzzy Shrike to build a stacked light network! The third one is the Force Owl!

"Incredible! After the three attacking raptors - Expulsion Shrike, Kurosaki Hayabusa player summoned three attacking raptors - Fuzzy Shrike in sequence, and summoned three attacking raptors - Force Owl in XYZ sequence. This is his plan Launch a total attack on your first turn?”

"Another effect of the Force Owl, the attack power and defense of this card are increased by the number of bird-type monsters on my field other than this card multiplied by 500. Therefore, the attack power of the three Force Owls are all increased. Increased from 100 to 1100! However, my summoning is not over yet! I activate the effect of the third force forest owl, remove the XYZ material, and add the level 4 dark attribute bird-type monster, the Bird of Prey-Songing Shrike, to my hand. . Then, I activate the effect of the third shrike, and use the card name in my hand as the modified shrike to be specially summoned in defense position! Then, the effect of the chirping shrike, if there is an XYZ monster on my field, This card can be Special Summoned from the hand, so I will Special Summon the Chirping Shrike in defense position! This will increase the attack power of the Martial Owl to 2100!

"The attack power of New Sequence 4 Ether Anubis is only 1000 points. Do you plan to defeat me in this round? But..."

Eliphas glanced at the three cover cards on his field and said no more. Facing three cover cards, he dared to summon five monsters to launch a total attack. What a reckless man.

"Ha! Gaika? Then let me see it! We rebels have always fought under the worst-case scenario. No matter what kind of trap, we can't stop our offensive to defeat the enemy! Fight! The first one, the Force Owl, attacks Ethereal Anubis!"

As the Kurosaki Falcon roared, the leader of the martial owl also stretched out its alloy hook toward the Ether Anubis.

Seeing this, Eliphas did not activate any Gaika, but allowed the etheric Anubis to be torn apart by the force owl. At the same time, Eliphas's health dropped by 1100 points to 2900. point.

"What? Are the three cards just a bluff?"

"No, right now, I activate the trap card, Sublime Spiral, banish an XYZ monster from my graveyard that was destroyed this turn, and ignore an XYZ monster that is two levels higher than the banished XYZ monster from my extra deck. The summoning conditions are special summons! I exclude the level 4 Ether Anubis from the extra deck, and special summon the new level 6 Ether Apophis from the extra deck!”

As Eliphas shouted, accompanied by a violent explosion of light pollution, the giant purple snake also surrounded by a ring appeared on Eliphas' field.

"Attack power, 2500?"

"Well, as for Aether Apophis, you won't be able to defeat the Owl with your strength!"

"Ridiculous! Do you think that my monsters are only the Force Owl? The second one, the Force Owl, attacks Ethereal Apophis!"

"What?!"

Eliphas couldn't help but be stunned. He said those words, but still issued an order to the forceful forest owl? And he still attacked Etheric Apophis with a martial owl whose attack power was not as good as Etheric Apophis?

"boom!!!"

In Elifas' confusion, the second force owl was directly bitten into pieces by Ether Apophis, and the Kurosaki Falcon's health also dropped by 400 points.

However, Kurosaki Hayabusa didn't care at all and showed a quick attack magic card at this time.

"At this moment, I activate the quick-attack magic card, the upgrade magic - Power of the Raptor (original version)! It can only be activated by targeting one of my XYZ monsters that was destroyed by battle this round. That monster is specially summoned. Compared with that monster A high-level Assault Raptor XYZ monster is summoned from the Extra Deck XYZ on top of the target monster! I specially summon the Force Owl that was destroyed by the battle, and let the Force Owl level up! O ferocious falcon, you can't win a hundred battles! Roll up your wings and defeat the approaching enemy! Upgrade XYZ Transformation! Come on, Level 5 Raptor-Flame Falcon!

With the roar, the body of the resurrected martial owl was covered in light, and rebuilt into a new monster in the dark red glow, the Flame Falcon!

"Although your upgrade summon is very good, the attack power is 1000! Do you plan to use this monster to defeat my Aether Apophis?"

"That's right! The flaming falcon holding XYZ material can directly attack you! Come on, flaming falcon, Thunder Raptor Breakthrough!!!"

After receiving the order, the Flame Falcon let out a high-pitched cry and rushed towards Eliphas at full speed. It waved its steel wings and knocked Eliphas back a long distance, even leaving an obvious trail on the ground. scratches.

"It's not over yet. When the Flame Falcon inflicts damage to the opponent, it can destroy one of the opponent's monsters! I activate this effect on the Aether Apophis on your field and destroy the Aether Apophis!!"

"Boom!!!"XN

The Flame Falcon once again let out a high-pitched cry, fired countless guided missiles from its body, and completely covered Aether Apophis' body with powerful firepower. After the flames dissipated, Aether Apophis's figure had completely disappeared from the field. .

"In this way, the defensive monsters on your field have disappeared again! And your health points are only 1900 points, but I still have a powerful forest owl with an attack power of 2100 that has not yet launched an attack! The winner has been decided!"

"Don't speak too soon! I activate the cover card, trap card, and the second one, sublimation spiral!!"

"What?!"

"I excluded Aether Apophis, level 6 in the graveyard, and special summoned new sequence 8, Ether Sobek, level 8, from the extra deck, ignoring the summoning conditions!!"

Then, a violent explosion of light pollution appeared again, and the giant blue-gray crocodile, whose body was also surrounded by a ring, and the ether Sobek, who had the name of the Crocodile God, also appeared.

"Upgrading again?!"

"Continuous upgrading, this is the realm that the astral world aspires to! How about, the attack power of Ether Sobek is even higher than that of Ether Apophis. Do you have a second upgrade magic in your hand - Power of the Bird of Prey?"

"Hey, the attack power is 3000? It's true that I don't have the second upgrade magic - Power of the Raptor in my hand, but that doesn't mean that I don't have other ways to break it! I end the combat phase and activate the last one of the Flame Falcon The effect can be activated once per turn by removing one of the XYZ materials from this card. All the specially summoned monsters on the opponent's field are destroyed, and the opponent's damage is multiplied by 500 times the number of the destroyed monsters! The only XYZ material will destroy your Aether Sobek and give you 500 points of damage!”

In an instant, a large number of launchers separated from the Flame Falcon, turned into floating particle cannons, and fired countless laser rays at Ether Sobek, penetrating Ether Sobek's body, causing Ether Sobek to burst suddenly, and causing Ether Sobek to explode. Lifas's health dropped further, with only 1,400 points left.

Chapter 243: A duel consisting entirely of flash card draws, Level 13 (two-in-one)

"Then, I activate the final card, the third one, Sublimation Spiral!!"

"What?!"

"Unbelievable!! Player Elifas's three cover cards are all trap cards, Sublimation Spiral! In other words, player Elifas also drew three Assault Raptor-Expulsion Shrike in the first round Like Kurosaki Hayabusa, he drew three Ascension Spirals in the first round. This is a completely matched opponent!”

Following Kurosaki Hayabusa's astonishment, the host of the aircraft head also exclaimed, making everyone in the audience look at each other. They were indeed evenly matched.

"I exclude the Ether Sobek of level 8 from the graveyard, and special summon the new sequence 10 Ether Horus of level 10 from the extra deck, ignoring the summoning conditions!!"

Accompanied by the piercing cry of an eagle, the giant brown bird that was also named God descended in the light, staring at the Black Saki Falcon opposite with cold eyes.

"Level 10? Interesting! Then, I'll cover two cards and end this round!"

[Kurosaki Hayabusa: Hand: 5 → 6 → 2 → 4 → 3 → 5 → 4 → 6 → 5 → 6 → 1 Card: 2, HP: 3600]

"For such a turbulent offensive, I will praise you for now, but if it is just like this, there is no way you can compete with me!"

"Oh? Do you want to take a look at your situation before you speak? Although you do have an XYZ monster with an attack power of 3500 on your field, other than that, there are no other cards on your field. Even That XYZ monster doesn’t even have XYZ materials! In this case, can you reverse it with the only card in your hand and the only chance to draw a card?”

"Of course, let me show you a real duel in the astral world!"

With that said, Eliphas raised his right hand high to the sky.

"What?!"

Kurosaki Hayabusa couldn't help but stare.

"What is this action?!"

In the auditorium, ZEXAL area, Astral's expression changed and he exclaimed.

"Everything in the duel between the strongest duelists is inevitable! Even the drawing of cards is created by the duelists!"

Following Eliphas' words, golden light immediately gathered on Eliphas' right hand. Seeing this, the duelists in the audience generally widened their eyes, fully understanding what Astral was surprised about. .

"Flash draw card!!!"

"It's actually a flash card draw!"

Kurosaki Hayabusa's expression also became solemn. Although he had not personally seen Yuma and Astral combine to use flash card draw, he had heard Yuto say that this shouldn't be the ultimate trick? How come it was used so quickly? However, judging from Eliphas' health points, it doesn't seem strange to use this trick. After all, Eliphas only has 1,400 health points left. If he doesn't use it anymore, he may not have a chance to use it.

Then, Eliphas' next words were beyond Kurosaki Hayabusa's expectations.

"All duels in the astral world are composed of flash card draws!"

"Nani?!" XN

"They're all flash cards?! What do you mean?!"

The duelists in the audience were shocked again, and Kurosaki Hayabusa couldn't help but question.

"That's literally what it means, that's our duel!"

"Hey, is that why I drew three Ascension Spirals in the first round?"

"That's right! Although I'm not sure what your strength is, the rewards provided by the Arena Master cannot allow me to be careless. For the promotion of the Starlight Realm, no matter what your strength is, I will do my best to win you over. Down!"

"How dare you say it! If you can do it, just give it a try!"

"As you wish! I activate the magic card, XYZ Gift! It can only be activated when there are two or more XYZ monsters on the field, and I draw two cards from the deck!"

"Don't even think about it! Counter Trap Card, Raptor Storm (original card)! Activate! I have a Raptor monster on the field. I can only activate it when the opponent activates a Magic Trap Card. That activation is invalid and destroyed! I invalidate and destroy your XYZ Gift!"

"Then, the second one, XYZ Gift! How about it, do you have a second Raptor Storm?"

Kurosaki Hayabusa's face darkened. He didn't know how to draw flash cards. Being able to draw three Shrike Expulsions in the first round was already a deep bond. How could he draw two Raptor Storms in a row!

"It seems that there is no, then, I won't be polite! The effect of XYZ Gift, I draw two cards, flash draw!!"

A golden arc of light flashed, and Eliphas added two more cards to his hand, and they were the two cards he wanted most.

"It's not over yet, the third one, XYZ Gift! Flash Draw!!"

Seeing this, the duelists in the audience all looked solemn. Sure enough, a duel consisting entirely of flash draws, a duel where you can draw whatever you want, is really too scary. Regardless of the deck, if we only count the duelists themselves, Eliphas should be the strongest duelist currently entering this arena, right?

"Astral, can ZEXAL, formed by you and Yuma, do this?"

In the ZEXAL area, Kaito asked solemnly.

Astral shook his head: "If it's just his current performance, ZEXAL should be fine, but to use flash draws to form the entire duel as he said, with my and Yuma's current abilities, it's not enough."

"It looks like another strong enemy!"

Ryoga also looked heavy.

"Hey? Why do you say that? Our enemy should be Barian, right? And the Astral World and Barian, they shouldn't be on the same side, right?"

Yuma didn't seem to react yet.

Lingya sighed helplessly and began to explain to Yuma.

In the GX area, Judai and others looked at the DM area with a puzzled look. According to legend, the first generation duel king Muto Yugi seemed to have reached the state of being able to draw any card he wanted. Could it be that the duel composed of flash card draws demonstrated by Eliphas? However, the two Mr. Yugi in the DM area should not have reached that level yet, otherwise, in the last round of duels, Mr. Yugi and Judai would not have dueled back and forth for so long.

"Equip Magic Card, XYZ Component! Only XYZ monsters can equip it, and the equipped monster's attack power increases by the equipped monster's rank multiplied by 200. In addition, when an XYZ monster on my field removes XYZ materials to activate an effect, this card can be used as one of the removed XYZ materials! I equip this card to Ether Horus, and then activate the effect of Ether Horus! Once per turn, you can remove one XYZ material from this card to activate it, until the number of cards on my field becomes the same as the number of cards on my field, and the opponent chooses to destroy the card on the opponent's field!"

"What?!"

"I activate this effect to remove the XYZ Component that replaces the XYZ material, so that only Ether Horus is left on my field. Therefore, you can only leave one card on your field, and all other cards must be destroyed!"

Kurosaki Hayabusa gritted his teeth, looked at the only remaining Strike Raptor in his hand-Propel Owl, and then looked at the only face-up card on the field, and finally made a choice.

"Then, I will destroy the Shrike, Screaming Shrike, Flame Falcon, and two Armed Owls, leaving this face-up card!"

"BOOM!!!" X5

As Kurosaki Hayabusa made his choice, all five monsters on the field exploded, which meant that there was only one face-up card left. Otherwise, people who didn't know might think that it had eaten the Master Cleaner effect of the Thunderbolt.

Of course, the Master Cleaner's effect is to send it to the grave directly, not to destroy it, but the effect of the Thunderbolt, the Thunder of God, blasts the entire field into scorched earth, and the performance is somewhat similar.

"You choose to keep the face-up card instead of the defense monster? It seems that the face-up card can resist the attack. Then, the continuous magic card, the upgrade gain, activate! The effect of this card is that when I use the upgrade magic to special summon XYZ monster, I can draw a card from the deck! And, when the XYZ monster special summoned by the upgrade magic attacks, the effects of the opponent's monsters in battle are negated!"

"This effect?!"

Kurosaki Hayabusa's pupils shrank suddenly, and he found that the situation was getting worse.

"And here's another magic card I got from the Flash Draw, the Upgrade Magic - Star Power!"

"Sure enough!"

"I activate the Upgrade Magic - Star Power! To activate, select the XYZ monster with the highest rank on my field. An XYZ monster one or two rank higher than the selected monster is stacked on top of the selected monster and Special Summoned from my Extra Deck as an XYZ Summon! I stack the rank 10 Ether Horus! Use a monster to rebuild the stacked light network! Upgrade XYZ Transformation! Show up, New Order, rank 12! Chaos, purify that filthy soul with the noble Upgrade! Ether Machs!!"

Finally, the tier 12 New Order monster, Ether Mahes, which has the name of the god of war, a lion-headed human body and is also surrounded by a ring, was summoned to the field by Eliphas. In addition to the Ether Anubis at the beginning, Ether Mahes finally made a formal appearance. Unlike Ether Apophis, Ether Sobek and Ether Horus, they could not be resurrected after going to the cemetery due to the resurrection restrictions.
