"Is the Arbiter not even taking this duel seriously?" Seto Kaiba frowned, arms crossed.
Koyo—is he not even able to gauge his opponent’s depth?
"I activate Spell Card ’Card of Sanctity’."
The Arbiter revealed an iconic draw card.
"Until both players’ hands have six cards, each draws from their Deck." (Anime Effect.)
Koyo gritted his teeth.
He’d had to sacrifice Terra to deal with Sphinx, leaving his field empty. But the Arbiter only had one card left—he figured he could defend against any follow-up.
But with his hand refilled in an instant, the danger level shot up.
"Next, this card—"
The Arbiter revealed another from his hand.
"Field Spell ’Fusion Gate’. This card replaces Polymerization—fusion materials are banished instead of sent to the Graveyard."
A pitch-black vortex appeared above the Arbiter’s field.
"Now I activate my set card."
The Arbiter flipped his back row.
"Trap Card ’Chain Material’. This turn, for Fusion Summons, I can use materials from my hand, Deck, field, or Graveyard, banishing them instead."
Koyo: "!"
The combo of Fusion Gate and Chain Material lets him use any fusion materials from Deck or Graveyard at will...
"First, the Wind-attribute ’Elemental Hero Avian’ sent to Graveyard last turn, and ’Elemental Hero Bladedge’ from the Deck.
Fusion requirements: Elemental Hero + any Wind monster. Fusion Summon—
—Elemental Hero Great Tornado!"
It was as if all the fury and power of heaven and earth became an invisible hand, tearing the field apart. A howling tornado, like a primordial beast, roared with overwhelming force.
The tornado hero descended, body mostly shrouded in storm, wings of a cyclone, standing at the eye of chaos.
[Elemental Hero Great Tornado, ATK 2800]
"Not done yet. Again, using ’Fusion Gate’ for Fusion Summon.
And thanks to ’Chain Material’, I can choose materials from the Deck.
From the Deck: ’Elemental Hero Clayman’ and the DARK ’Elemental Hero Necroshade’.
Fusion requirement: Elemental Hero + any DARK monster. Fusion Summon—
—Elemental HERO Escuridao!"
This time, darkness coalesced into human form, with menacing black claws and eyes deep as the abyss.
[Elemental HERO Escuridao, ATK 2500]
"Two powerful Heroes fused in a single turn?" Jaden couldn’t hold back.
"And it continues," the Arbiter said blandly. "Once again, ’Fusion Gate’ and ’Chain Material’—this time, materials from Grave and Deck.
Banishing ’Elemental Hero Bubbleman’ from Deck, and FIRE ’Elemental HERO Burstinatrix’ from Graveyard.
Fusion requirement: Elemental Hero + FIRE monster. Fusion Summon—
—Elemental Hero Nova Master!"
A hero clad in fiery armor, cape billowing like flames.
[Elemental Hero Nova Master, ATK 2600]
"Again, ’Fusion Gate’—banish ’Elemental HERO Voltic’ from Deck, and LIGHT ’Elemental HERO Sparkman’ from Deck.
Fusion requirement: Elemental Hero + any LIGHT monster. Fusion Summon—
—Elemental Hero Shining!"
A dazzling hero, as radiant as the sun, emerged from blinding light, arms crossed, surveying the field from above.
