Chapter 112: Dimension Fusion, YYDS
"Alright!" Joey Wheeler seemed quite excited. "The final result is Heads! Therefore, all the monsters on your Field must be Destroyed because they crossed the River of Time!"
The Time Wizard's Effect successfully Activated. It raised the Wand in its Hand high, opening a twisted spatial-temporal Cave. From within that spatial-temporal Cave, seemingly endless Power from the River of Time continuously surged out. Even the Sealed Beast monsters on Putah's Field, which symbolized Mythology, had their runes rapidly dim and wear away when faced with the washing of the River of Time.
After the Time Wizard's advanced Effect, which seemed to have someone behind it, finished, Putah's Field was completely empty, leaving only True Word of Sealing and one Set Card.
"Th-This is bad!" Putah was a little panicked. He originally thought he had built an invincible Defense. How could there be a Monster with this kind of Effect? Is this a Gambling Card? "M-My Sealed Beast - Baolong should be able to refuse Effects because True Word of Sealing is on the Field!"
"But Time Magic is fair to everyone! It takes Effect without needing to Target!" Joey Wheeler seemed quite smug. "I've wanted to Destroy that kind of privileged Card for a long time!"
Putah's expression wasn't good. "But your Time Wizard will also disappear from your Field because it Activated a powerful Spell. Even if my Field is empty, don't think you can Attack me."
Unlike the physical version of the Card, the Time Wizard Joey Wheeler used, whether in the Anime Version or Manga Version, was the type that "Activates its Effect upon Summon" and "leaves the Field after Activating its Effect." Moreover, he had already used his Normal Summon privilege this Turn to Summon Time Wizard.
Theoretically, Joey Wheeler, whose Field was also empty, indeed couldn't Attack Putah. However, having fought his way into the Top 8 from the intense selection process in the Duelist Kingdom, Joey Wheeler had learned a thing or two, and his Duel level had improved.
"Heh heh, that's not necessarily true." Joey Wheeler rubbed his nose and played a Card from his Hand. "Activate Spell Card, Unexpected Dai! If I have no Monsters on my Field, I can Special Summon one Monster with Level 4 or lower from my Deck!"
"Come forth, Axe Raider!"
The legendary strongest Monster, the invincible Axe King, appeared from within lightning. With sturdy Armor, powerful arms, a sharp axe blade, and imposing Aura, it Declared its name as the strongest the moment it appeared.
[Axe Raider] [Level 4 / Earth Attribute]
[Warrior Type / Normal]
[1700 ATK / 1150 DEF]
"Axe Raider, launch a Direct Attack on Putah!" Summoning the powerful Axe King made Joey Wheeler's blood boil a little, and he ordered with high spirits, "Jounouchi Slash!"
Using a rather silly Attack name, the Axe Raider, known as the Axe King, charged forward to Putah's face. The sharp axe in its Hand swung down forcefully, taking away a large amount of Ptah Gallum's Life Points.
"Ugh!"
[Putah: 4000 LP → 2300 LP]
"Heh heh, see how awesome I am now? You arrogant guy." Joey Wheeler smiled smugly and Set Cards. "Set two Cards. My Turn ends."
[Joey Wheeler: 3800 LP, Hand 0]
[Axe Raider] [1700 ATK]
[Set Card] [Set Card]
"Damn it, my Turn!" Putah looked at Joey Wheeler's smug face, feeling quite annoyed. "I Activate Spell Card, True Word of Corpse! When True Word of Sealing exists on my Field, I can draw Cards equal to the number of Sealed Beast monsters in my Graveyard."
"Inun, Nunurao, Baolong, and Charmgal. There are four Sealed Beast monsters in my Graveyard, so I can draw four Cards."
[Putah: Hand 1 → 4]
Replenishing a large number of Cards in his Hand in one go, Putah's expression recovered a bit of composure. Looking at the Cards he had just drawn, a smile appeared on his face. "That guy opposite me, named Joey Wheeler? It's truly surprising that you could defeat my invincible Sealed Beast - Baolong. I might even have to look at you in a new light."
"As a reward, I shall let you witness the invincible Army of Sealed Beast monsters!"
"Activate Spell Card, Soul Release! Select a total of five Cards from both players' Graveyards and Banish them from Play!"
A blue transparent Soul rose from beneath the Field, containing several Cards that had been Sent to the Graveyards of both players in previous Battles. Joey Wheeler was somewhat surprised to discover that among these Cards, aside from one of his own Pitch-Black Panther Warrior, the remaining 4 were all Putah's own Sealed Beast monsters?!
"To Banish your own Monsters from Play, you guy, can't you hear the Cards crying?!" Joey Wheeler's view on Duel Monsters was the same as Yugi's; they both believed that Cards had a Heart. But this Putah in front of him actually took the initiative to Banish his own Monsters from Play?
"Just watch quietly, mere Commoner. Yours Truly naturally has my reasons for doing this." Watching Soul Release completely clear the Sealed Beast monsters from his Graveyard, Putah smugly played the next Card. "Banishing Monsters was preparation for this moment! Activate Spell Card, Dimension Fusion!"
The spatial-temporal Cave reappeared above the Field. However, this time the guide was no longer Joey Wheeler's Time Wizard, but the Dimension Fusion that Putah had just Activated. From the Cave in the sky, mysterious runes flew out and landed on Putah's Field. The Sealed Beast monsters that had been Destroyed and Sent to the Graveyard with great difficulty actually reappeared on the Field?!
"Dimension Fusion allows me to Pay 2000 Life Points, and then Special Summon all the Monsters that were Banished." Spending 2000 Life Points lavishly, Putah looked at the Sealed Beast monsters forming on the Field again and revealed a satisfied smile. "Sealed Beast monsters are the embodiment of the True Word of Sealing! They cannot be defeated!"
"He actually Summoned the Monsters again?" Joey Wheeler felt it was quite troublesome, because he remembered clearly that he didn't have any Cards that could Recycle Monsters from the Graveyard, and the Time Wizard, which could break through Sealed Beast - Baolong's powerful Resistance, had just been used last Turn. "In that case, I can also Summon the Pitch-Black Panther Warrior that you Banished."
A scimitar flew out from the spatial-temporal Cave and landed on Joey Wheeler's Field. The Pitch-Black Panther Warrior that was previously Destroyed returned to Joey Wheeler's Field due to the Effect of Dimension Fusion.
[Pitch-Black Panther Warrior] [1600 DEF]
Although Pitch-Black Panther Warrior's Defense was decent, looking at Putah's Field opposite him, Joey Wheeler couldn't feel at ease at all:
[Sealed Beast - Inun] [200 ATK]
[Sealed Beast - Nunurao] [500 ATK]
[Sealed Beast - Charmgal] [1200 ATK]
[Sealed Beast - Baolong] [2700 ATK]
"It's not over yet! I haven't performed a Normal Summon this Turn!" Putah still had two Cards in his Hand. He played one of them. "Normal Summon Sealed Beast - Boaballon."
"This is the end, Small Fry! Be swallowed by my powerful Army of Sealed Beast monsters!"
