Chainsaw Insect, summon!
Gasper couldn't help but be amazed: "This... A level four monster with an attack power of 2400!?"
And it's a monster he's never heard of!
The Nightwalker crowd on the side began to cheer.
"It's here! The president's strongest demon!"
"With such enemies, quickly use your strongest demon to take them down in one go!"
Gasper: "???"
Just because I haven't read many books doesn't mean you can fool me. With such a big bug here, which eye of yours sees it as a demon?
"It's not over yet," President Tosawa Mukuro chuckled handsomely as he revealed another card from his hand, "Activating Equip Magic Card - Axe of Despair from my hand!
Axe of Despair equips to 'Chainsaw Insect,' increasing the equipped monster's attack power by 1000 points!"
[Chainsaw Insect, Attack Power 2400 → Attack Power 3400]
"Starting off with an attack power of 3400! The president is awesome!"
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon..."
"..."
"Kid, looking down on people comes at a price!" President Tosawa Mukuro chuckled twice, "Chainsaw Insect attack! Crush that ugly werewolf for me!"
The strengthened giant insect let out a monstrous roar and charged in, quickly grappling with Gene-Warped Warwolf.
It turns out that even the genetically modified invincible werewolf was no match for the insect. The white wolf's enhanced body was no match for the chainsaw-like mandibles, which easily tore through its flesh.
Gasper apparently felt that losing in the first round was a bit embarrassing compared to his previous boasting, so he wasn't planning to take the damage head-on and decisively pressed a button on the Duel Disc to activate a Set Card.
"Tsk, Set Card flip!" he declared, "Trap Card - Defense Wall! It turns one battle damage to zero, and then I draw one card."
A transparent barrier appeared, blocking the aggressive charge of the giant insect for Gasper. At the same time, he drew a card.
"Heh, managed to get through it, hmm?" President Mukuro said, "When 'Chainsaw Insect' battles, the opponent can draw a card. Consider it a gift from me, go ahead and draw."
Gasper remained silent and drew another card.
"My turn ends."
"Then it's my turn again."
Gasper drew a card, squinting as he studied the giant insect on President Mukuro's field.
"I didn't expect you to have such powerful monsters in your hand... I was a little overconfident," Gasper said, "Well, from now on, let me get serious and treat this with twelve-point focus.I want to summon this monster first... Come on! Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast!"
The roar of a metallic brute echoed, crashing onto the floor like a heavy tank. Two black gun barrels extended from the edges of its tracks, with a golden dragon head in the center.
[Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast, Level 7, Attack Power 2800]
President Mukuro was astonished: "Summoning a level 7 monster without a sacrifice!?"
"Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast can be Normal Summoned without a sacrifice, but in this case, its attack and defense become half."
[Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast, Attack Power 2800 → Attack Power 1400]
President Mukuro frowned: "If the attack power is only half..."
"It's not over yet!" Gasper laughed, "Next, I'll activate the Magic Card - Monster Reborn from my hand! Revive the monster sleeping in the graveyard... Return to my field, Gene-Warped Warwolf!"
A black vortex to the Netherworld briefly opened under the magic's effect, and the white werewolf returned to his field.
"Now the preparations are complete." Gasper sneered, drawing a card from his hand, showing it backside to President Mukuro with a deep, cold laugh, "Today, I'll let you witness the super rare cards that Doma's power encompasses!"
He held up the card.
"I use 'Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast' and 'Gene-Warped Warwolf' as sacrifices, to special summon this monster from my hand—
——Legendary Maju Garzett!"
With a thunderous crash, a giant demon covered in exoskeleton descended onto the field.
The two Monsters on the field, offered as sacrifices, seemed to be literally "devoured," giving birth to this demon. It had wings reminiscent of a Darklord, a hideous face, yet exuding a peculiar charm.
The Maju Garzett is also a set of cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, with all the Monsters in the entire deck originating from the "Mazinger Series" created by the manga artist Go Nagai.
Among them, this "Legendary Maju Garzett" corresponds to the prototype "Mazinger Edition Z" in the manga.
"Legendary Maju Garzett can only be Special Summoned by using all the Monsters on your field as a tribute!" Gasper shouted, "Then its attack power becomes the total of the original attack powers of the tribute Monsters."
"I see!" President Mukuro suddenly understood, "'Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast's' original attack power is 2800, if used as a tribute..."
"Exactly," Gasper sneered, "so the attack power of Legendary Maju Garzett is..."
[Legendary Maju Garzett, ATK 0 → ATK 4800]
Tosawa Mukuro gritted his teeth: "Attack power 4800..."
"And next, this guy... Gilasaurus, Special Summon!"
With a domineering roar, a yellow dinosaur appeared on Gasper's field, its bloody maw wide open as it roared at the top of its lungs.
[Gilasaurus, ATK 1400]
"This Monster can be Special Summoned directly from the hand, but when summoned this way, the opponent can select and revive one Monster from their graveyard."
Gasper chuckled.
"Of course, you have no Monsters in your graveyard to revive right now."
"It's time to battle!" Gasper waved his hand, "Attack with Legendary Maju Garzett! Crush that bothersome insect for me!"
The power balance reversed, the Chainsaw Insect that had dominated the field moments ago suddenly lost its stature. Legendary Maju Garzett, as its name suggests, crushed it like an insect, smashing through its shell and piercing its body. The giant insect let out a powerless wail, its body collapsing to the ground and dissipating into smoke.
Although "The Seal of Orichalcos" had not yet been activated, the duel itself was a Dark Duel. The pendant on Gasper's chest emitted a green glow at that moment, seemingly amplifying the impact of the Darkness Game.
After the monstrous force shattered the body of the Chainsaw Insect, its momentum did not diminish and continued to strike at President Mukuro. At that moment, the president felt like he had crashed head-on into a speeding truck, his body uncontrollably stumbled back two steps.
[Tosawa Mukuro, LP 4000 → LP 2600]
At this moment, the side effect of "Chainsaw Insect" activated, and Gasper drew another card.
"Keep attacking!" Gasper roared, "Gilasaurus, direct attack!"
The dinosaur let out a roar and charged forward, assuming an "iron head technique" stance and viciously collided with President Mukuro. His short frame was knocked into the air, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and he crashed to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
[Tosawa Mukuro, LP 2600 → LP 1200]
All the subordinates were shocked.
"President!"
"President, are you alright!?"
President Tosawa Mukuro motioned for them not to come closer, wiped the blood from his mouth, and tried to stand up shakily, but his knees buckled before he could straighten, and he knelt back to the ground again.
Even after trying twice, he couldn't stand up successfully, and instead coughed up another mouthful of blood.
President Mukuro shook his head and chuckled bitterly: "Ah, getting old, getting old. To be affected this much by just... cough cough..."
The president left the latter part of his sentence unsaid.
...Had I known earlier, I'd have visited fewer bathhouses the last few days. At least my body wouldn't be this weak, and I wouldn't be so debilitated from just 1400 LP in damage...
Gasper crossed his arms and sneered, "Still want to continue, old man? Why not just concede now?"
President Mukuro, his mouth full of blood, let out a dry laugh twice. He braced himself on his knees, seemingly forcing himself, and with his old arms and legs, he stood up once more.
"Of course... I want to continue." He wiped the blood, chuckling, "Can't lose face in front of all these lovely juniors."
"You should stop pushing yourself, old man," Gasper said, "Your body may not hold up until the end of the duel. It's still possible now, I can allow you to switch with someone else..."
"That's not possible." President Mukuro chuckled, striving to steady himself, "The president's task is to protect everyone's safety. As long as I haven't fallen... you can't lay a finger on anyone."
"It's enough, President."
The voice came from above.
Everyone looked up in unison, gazing into the air where the voice came from, and they all showed expressions of delight.
Youyu!
