Chapter 77 From Rhode Island
"Xyz Summon?!"
Also using a trash monster deck, You Ling would never have thought that Aisha's dark side would actually use a summoning method called 「Xyz Summon」 at this time.
That was the characteristic summoning method belonging to Xyz Academy , a summoning method that even Luka Srlent, who transferred in the first year, hadn't demonstrated in that test duel.
But the so-called Xyz Summon, when actually used, was even simpler than Fusion Summoning, which requires Polymerization magic and specified materials.
The most basic Xyz Summon only requires two monsters of the same Level on the field to Xyz Summon an Xyz Monster of the same Rank from the Extra Deck onto the field.
For example, if Aisha's dark side currently uses two Level 1 monsters for an Xyz Summon, she can Xyz Summon a Rank 1 Xyz Monster.
"All things in nature, seek a brand new breakthrough in Xyz!——Xyz Summon, Rank 1, [Sylvan Princessprout] (Sylvan's Princess Bud Palace)!"
Aisha: "Black cards, and black stars?"
The Xyz effect converged; appearing at Dark Aisha's fingertips was a card completely different from any monster that had appeared before.
[Sylvan Princessprout ✪ LIGHT][Plant-Type/Xyz/Effect ATK: 1800 DEF: 100]
[Xyz Materials: Level 1 monster ×2]
An elegant girl monster wearing a verdant green kimono slowly floated down onto the field.
Aisha: "(°Д°) You can actually Xyz Summon such an elegant monster directly using two Level 1 monsters? I'm so amazing!"
To be fair, this Xyz Summon by Dark Aisha was truly beyond You Ling's expectations.
Another characteristic of Xyz Summoning is that as long as the Level requirement is met, no matter how weak the monster is, it can be used for Xyz Summoning. Even Level 1 trash monsters are no exception.
According to Dark Aisha's oral account just now, this should be her own fighting style that she sought and obtained after being expelled from Fusion Academy.
Completely different from the weakling series ( lit. weak meat series) You Ling was currently developing for the deck.
This was an Xyz series branch developed by Aisha herself.
"This power born from despair, I will make you feel it too! Activate the effect of Xyz Monster [Sylvan Princessprout]!"
[You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; excavate the top card of your Deck, and if it is a Spell/Trap Card, add it to your hand. Otherwise, send it to the Graveyard.]
Level 1 monsters used as Xyz Materials, unlike Fusion Materials, are not sent to the Graveyard immediately, but are stacked under the Xyz Monster card as Xyz Materials.
For example, under the current Xyz Monster [Sylvan Princessprout] card, [Yoyo] and [Volcanic Rat] are currently stacked as 2 materials. Three cards stacked together.
And the stacked materials will be 「detached」 as a cost for the Xyz Monster to activate its effect, at which time the materials will truly be sent to the Graveyard.
"I detach Xyz Material [Yoyo], activate the effect of [Sylvan Princessprout], reveal the top card of my deck."
Dark Aisha drew the top card of her deck and displayed it——Magic Card [Three White Bone Zone] .
According to the effect, if the revealed card is a Spell/Trap card, it can be directly added to the hand.
You Ling analyzed cautiously: "Since Dark Aisha was born after being expelled from Fusion Academy, then Magic and Trap cards..."
Not obtained through the academy's academic points, but crafted by obtaining Spell Points through 「growth」 as defined by the Elven Eye.
In the IF world line that doesn't truly exist, Aisha Carlos, after being expelled from Fusion Academy, instead obtained her own Xyz Monsters and her own realm of 「growth」.
"All this is for revenge against the world that abandoned me. Battle, Sylvan Princessprout, destroy the Yoyo on the opponent's field!——『Sacred Sylvan Myriad Manifestations 』!"
Sylvan Princessprout raised her hand and waved her fan; countless rapidly growing trees burst from the earth, surrounding and crushing the lone Yoyo.
[Yoyo] destroyed
Aisha LP: 4000→2500
The 1800 ATK of the Rank 1 Xyz directly inflicted unexpectedly high damage to You Ling.
Accompanied by pain similar to that during a Shadow Game.
"Ah oh, forgot to explain," Camille tapped her head.
"Because you're fighting your own soul, real pain is also unavoidable, please bear with it a little. Or rather, this way you can better empathize with and understand despair."
"I set one card, turn end!"
Gaining an advantage with the unexpected Xyz Monster, Dark Aisha set a card and ended her turn.
The pain from the trees' constriction made You Ling's arm numb.
At the same time, Aisha's soul within the Millennium Puzzle also felt this pain.
"After being expelled, your personality really became quite twisted, Aisha."
"That's not right, Mr. You Ling!" Aisha retorted and denied: "That's not the real me... Perhaps the unavoidable dark side of human nature indeed gives birth to thoughts of revenge."
Just as Camille said, even a saint cannot avoid the birth of the dark side of human nature.
"But that darkness and despair were ultimately born from falsehood. Because, Mr. You Ling, your arrival saved me. That twisted Aisha Carlos will never appear."
"Aisha."
"Us too! Let's use our own fighting style to overcome despair, Mr. You Ling!"
"Well said!"
You Ling flipped over the set card in his back row.
"During your End Phase, I activate the Continuous Trap Card——[Human-Wave Tactics] !"
[Human-Wave Tactics Continuous Trap Card Effect: During each End Phase, Special Summon Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters from your Deck. The number summoned is equal to the number of Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters you control that were destroyed by battle during the same turn.]
"This turn, 1 of my monsters was destroyed by battle, so I Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower monster from my deck! Come forth, the second [Yoyo]!"
After piling up tofu block Yoyos with Human-Wave Tactics, You Ling drew the starting card of his turn.
"——Activate Magic Card [Polymerization] ! Fuse the [Yoyo] on the field and the [Volcanic Rat] in my hand!"
Same materials, this side also used the combination of [Yoyo] and [Volcanic Rat].
Just that Dark Aisha performed an Xyz Summon, while You Ling performed a Fusion Summon.
"Roar, miracle of Normal Monster fusion, until the ancient souls resonate! Fusion Summon——[First of the Dragons]!"
[First of the Dragons ★★★★★★★★★ (9-Star) DARK][Dragon-Type/Fusion/Effect ATK: 2700 DEF: 2000]
[Fusion Materials: Normal Monster ×2]
