Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 58 Ruan Nuo's Deck

"When Legatia is successfully Special Summoned, you draw one card, then destroy 1 monster with the highest ATK on your opponent's field. This effect cannot be activated because you have no monsters on your field."

"Then, when the Centurion Knight monster on the field is successfully Synchro Summoned, I banish 'Knight's Bond' from my Graveyard and place Primella from my Graveyard into the Spell & Trap Zone." Primella returned to the field, giving Atreia a confident smile. "See? Trusting Nami wasn't a mistake, was it?"

Ruan Nuo didn't show any regret. "I activate [Triple Strike Talent]. If you activate a monster's effect during my Main Phase, I can choose one of three effects to activate: draw 2 cards; gain 1 of your monsters this turn; or confirm and return 1 card from your hand to the Deck. I choose to draw 2 cards."

"So you're not choosing to control [Knight Queen Legatia]?"

"Then I activate the Continuous Spell Card [Flame Dance - "Celestial Pivot"] from my hand."

Huh? Flame Dance again? What kind of deck is this? Wait a minute, the effect of Flame Dance is... Beast Warrior, Stardust Dragon, Psychic... could it be...?

"I summon [Blackwing Magician] from my hand (Wind/Spellcaster Level 3 1300/1200)"

As a monster card flew out in front of Ruan Nuo and stuck to Iron Feather on the right, a cold and beautiful woman with wings on her back, wearing a black dress, purple hair and elf ears appeared on the field.

It really is Burst Mode! I can't believe someone is using a Burst deck!? And Ruan Nuo is so young, how can she use such a powerful deck? But this deck is at a disadvantage when going second.

"Flame Dance - The effect of "Celestial Pivot": As long as this card is in the Spell/Trap Zone, in addition to Normal Summoning, you can Summon 1 Beast-Warrior monster once more during your Main Phase, and Summon "Explosive Sniper" (EARTH/Warrior Level 4 1800/300) from your hand."

"Activate the first effect of Burst Sniper, Tribute this card, Special Summon 1 monster with the [Burst Mode] card name other than this card from your hand and Deck, and Special Summon [Psycho-Reflector] (DARK/Psycho-Reflector Level 1 400/300)."

"If the effect of Telekinetic Reflector is activated, and this card is Normal or Special Summoned, add one card other than this card with the [Burst Mode] name from your Deck to your hand. I chose [Burst Beast]."

"Then I discarded a Burst Beast from my hand and added a Burst Mode card from my deck to my hand."

"Activate the second effect of Telekinetic Reflector: Revive a monster in my Graveyard with a 'Burst Mode' card name by revealing a 'Burst Mode' card in your hand. Revive Burst Sniper, and then Burst Sniper's Level can be increased by up to four stars."

"I choose to upgrade to level two, and then activate the second effect of Bursting Sniper to show you the [Arcanite Magister] from my Extra Deck, making Bursting Sniper's stats and type the same as Arcanite Magister."

"I Synchro Summon [Arcanite Reflector] (LIGHT/Spellcaster, Level 7, 400/1800) by adjusting the Level 1 of my Psychic Reflector and the Level 6 of my Burst Sniper to Level 7. At that moment, the effect of [Miracle of Light] activates. When I Synchro Summon a monster, I draw one card."

【Heavy Knight Primella】 proudly crossed her arms and puffed out her small chest. "You went through all that trouble to summon a seven-star Synchro Monster? And its attack power is only 400? Are you kidding me?"

"Primeira, don't be careless," Nami said seriously. "Using a Burst deck without prioritizing the summoning of Stardust Dragon might be..."

"What's there to be afraid of? While I'm on the field, our Knight King won't be destroyed by effects, and as long as [Knight King Oxira] isn't destroyed, I'm safe."

Another spell card flew out in front of Ruan Nuo. "Then I activate the spell card 'Rustling Forest,' turning 'Knight King Oxira' face-down in defense position, and then returning your field card to your hand."

[The rustling of the forest]? This must be the card Nami was on guard with earlier. It can break through two of the opponent's defenses at once; Ruan Nuo is no ordinary player. But Nami's reaction was also quite quick; she actually Special Summoned a monster to trigger the field effect, otherwise she would have lost the opportunity for Accelerated Synchro Summoning.

"What!?" Primella hurriedly shook Oxira's card. "Oxira, wake up!"

"If the Arcane Mage is Special Summoned, place two Spell Counters on this card. This card gains 1000 ATK for each Spell Counter." The Arcane Mage's ATK has reached 2400.

"Hmph, your attack power has increased, but you're still a long way from being our opponent."

"I remove one Spell Counter from this card and destroy your Spell & Trap Zone [Heavy Knight Primella]".

"What?!" [Heavy Knight Primella] was shocked, but was still smashed into the graveyard by a magic ball thrown by [Arcane Mage]. [Minor Knight Tredia] caught her in the graveyard. "I told you not to be careless."

"Then I activate [Synchro Greed]. If there are Synchro Monsters on the field, I draw one card. If there are 3 or more Synchro Monsters, I draw another card. After that, I set one card."

"What? We're not going to continue using the effects of [Arcane Magister]?" Di Xing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"If [Blackwing Magician] is on the field, my [Burst Mode] can be activated during the turn it is set."

"I see, this eliminates the disadvantage of going second," Di Xing said excitedly. Because [Burst Mode] is a trap card, going second means that you can only summon a big monster on the third turn of the game, which is very disadvantageous.

The Blackwing Magician can solve this problem, but it takes up a summon slot and doesn't have any other effects, so it's not worth it.

"I activate my Burst Mode monster on the field, Tribute one Synchro Monster I control, and then Tribute one /Burst Monster whose name is included in that monster's name."

"Special Summon from Deck in Attack Position. I Tribute [Arcanite Mage] to Special Summon [Arcanite Mage/Explosive] (LIGHT/Spellcaster, Level 9, 900/2300) from Deck."

As Burst Mode was activated, a dazzling red light erupted from the [Arcanite Magister], followed by a violent explosion with a loud "thud!"

His white robes instantly ripped apart, filling the arena with smoke and dust. A moment later, the dust dissipated, revealing the [Arcanite Magister], bathed in red light, standing in the center of the arena.

The next moment, the red light on its body began to cool, transforming into a super cool robe that was entirely black with red trim. The aura surrounding the [Arcanite Magister] also surged, and the small staff that was only half a person's height before had now become a large staff as tall as a person, with the green sphere on it emitting an astonishing light.

In the graveyard, the Heavy Knight Primella remarked, "This monster looks strong, but its attack power isn't that high."

"All Burst Monsters cannot be Normal Summoned; they must be Special Summoned using Burst Mode effects. When [Arcanite Mage/Burst Monster] is Special Summoned, place two Spell Counters on this card."

"This card gains 1000 ATK for each Spell Counter placed on it. Additionally, you can remove two Spell Counters from this card to destroy all cards on your opponent's field."

"What!?"

"I'll remove the two spell counters from [Arcanite Mage/Explosive] and destroy all your cards on the field! Explosive Arcanite Magic!"
