Chapter 147 The Ice Barrier Dragon: The Light Spear Dragon
"Duel!" x2
【Kagura Kiryu, LP4000】
【Shuzo Otaki (Nightmare Penguin), LP4000】
"Hehehe, you can have the first strike."
Otaki Shuzo surprisingly offered to go first: "We should seize this opportunity, hahaha!"
Kagura Kiryu didn't stand on ceremony and placed his finger directly on the deck:
"My turn, draw a card."
He inserted the card into his hand and began searching.
I don't know what deck Otaki Shuzo is using, but it's probably a Synchro deck, the kind that goes second, which is why he goes first.
That's what they say, but in the early stages of Synchro, it really was mostly about attacking from the back; attacking from the front wasn't that great.
Kagura Kiryu can only draw three cards:
"I set one card to the front row and two cards to the back row. My turn is over."
Three face-down cards appeared on Kagura Kiryu's field, and Ootaki Shuzo snorted coldly:
"What a weak start."
It rests its fin on the duel disk and draws a card:
"My turn, draw a card!"
It glanced at the card: "Oh? I drew a good card."
"Then let me use this card right away."
He inserted the card into the Duel Disk's slot: "Quick-Play Spell, Whirlwind! Destroy one Spell/Trap Card on your field!"
"I'll ruin the one on your right!"
A strong whirlwind lifted the card, and Otaki Shuzo was able to see it clearly.
"Oh? It's a powerful counterattack trap, [Divine Punishment]?"
He chuckled and said, "By discarding a card, you can negate and destroy your opponent's monster when they activate its effect."
"This is really deadly for Synchro Monsters with special effects, but luckily I disarmed the trap beforehand!"
Kiryu Kagura remained silent, simply watching him perform his performance art.
"Hehehe! Then let me show you! My Ootaki Shuzo's Synchro Summoning!"
"Normal Summon! [The Illuminator of the Ice Barrier]!"
A red-haired young woman dressed in a blue, snow-themed outfit appeared, holding a special feather fan in her hand, suggesting she might be a mage or similar class.
[Ice Barrier Demon Slayer, Level 4, Water Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 1700, Effect Monster]
"Attack power of 1700? That's pretty powerful—"
Kyoko Masaki, who only focused on attack power, exclaimed in amazement, while Yoruichi frowned deeply:
"Something's not right. This monster's aura—it's so strong!"
Unlike their opinions, Kagura Kiryu simply raised an eyebrow slightly.
Ice barrier?
Although it wasn't particularly noticeable among the mainstream decks, it was a powerful deck back in the day.
It has various blocking effects and a second-turn breakthrough deck, making it appear to be an all-around deck.
But in reality, it's just too comprehensive; each card has a different effect.
This results in this deck being extremely clunky; without this key archetype card, [Ice Barrier Demon Slayer], it's practically impossible to get going.
However, this deck, though unpopular, was strengthened in 23.
And in 24, it achieved 42nd place in the MC platform's competitive matchmaking, proving that this deck has the potential to reach the top.
Ugh, what a pity. The Ice Barrier deck has a weak combo chain. As long as [Heavenly Punishment] counters [Summoner], the opponent is basically doomed.
"Hehehe, let me show you how powerful she is!"
"I activate the effect of [Ice Barrier Demon Slayer], discarding one card from my hand to Special Summon one [Ice Barrier] Tuner Monster from my Deck!"
He sends a card to the graveyard, and a card immediately pops out of the deck.
"Come on, adjust your monster, [Water Shadow of the Ice Barrier]!"
A blond-haired man dressed in ninja attire stood on the field, masked like Kakashi, holding a kunai, in a battle stance. [Mizukage of the Ice Barrier, Level 2, Water Attribute, Aquatic, Attack Power 1200, Tuner Monster]
"Adjusting monsters!?"
The two girls gasped in surprise, and Otaki Shuzo proudly declared, "That's right! In Duel Monsters, there's a type of monster with the ability of a Star Tuner, capable of summoning entirely new monsters through star manipulation!"
While the two girls were still in shock, Kagura Kiryu had already started digging his toes into the ground.
It might sound unbelievable, but he had actually seen the doujinshi of "The Water Shadow of the Ice Barrier".
He was shocked that such an obscure card even had a doujinshi, so he curiously clicked in to take a look and saw him and a fat otaku... Ugh, he couldn't think about it.
For a straight man, these things were still too scary; he was so frightened that he smashed his phone.
"Hahaha, next, I'll upgrade the star rating of the level 2 [Water Shadow of Ice Barrier] and the level 4 [Ice Barrier Demon Slayer]!"
[Water Shadow of the Ice Barrier] jumped into the air, made two slashes with the dagger, and then turned into two semi-transparent white rings.
At the same time, the body of the [Ice Barrier Demon Seer] within the ring gradually became transparent, and four stars appeared inside his body.
"Sealed Aurora Spear, tear through the ice and reveal yourself!"
"Synchro Summon!"
"Level 6, [Ice Barrier Dragon - Light Gun Dragon]!"
In the frozen mountains, an ice crystal dragon that had been sealed within suddenly opened its eyes, let out an angry roar, smashed the ice crystals with a claw, and broke free of the ice.
It flapped its wings and flew through the air. Although it was a long dragon, it had wings like a Western dragon. A terrifying and tyrannical sense of oppression swept over the entire scene.
【Ice Barrier Dragon - Light Lance Dragon, Level 6, Water Attribute, Sea Dragon Type, ATK 2300, Synchro Monster】
"This is the Synchro Monster?"
Night Alliance Zero was shocked: "They actually combined two monsters into a new entity?"
"Haha, that's right!"
Ootaki Shuzo, having summoned his ace, was extremely pleased with himself:
"A Synchro Monster is a monster that can be summoned by combining a Tuner monster and a non-Tuner monster, where the combined Level of the two monsters equals the Level of any monster in the Extra Deck!"
To put it simply, it's about addition and subtraction within twelve. Of course, even so, it still brought quite a shock to the people of this world.
Kagura Kiryu, on the other hand, looked at the giant dragon with a hint of envy.
It's actually the [Light Lance Dragon], one of the strongest monsters in the early Synchro Summoning events.
"Hahaha, I activate the effect of [Ice Barrier Dragon - Light Gun Dragon]!"
"Discard any number of cards from your hand to the graveyard, and bounce that number of cards from your opponent's field back to their hand! (Previous effect)"
"Next, activate the effect of [Illuminator] in the Graveyard. When the activation of a [Ice Barrier] monster requires discarding a card, banish this card instead!"
"I banish the [Illuminator] from my graveyard, then discard one card to bounce both cards on your field back!"
[Light Lance Dragon] let out a roar, and both of Kagura Kiryu's cards on the field were immediately bounced back.
"Then comes the attack from the [Ice Barrier Dragon, Light Spear Dragon]! Seal the Ice Spear!"
An ice spike was condensed by the [Light Spear Dragon] and pierced Kagura Kiryu's body.
[Kagura Kiryu, LP4000→LP1700]
"Kiryu!"
Masaki Hoko called out in concern.
"Then I face down a card, and the turn is over!"
Otaki Shuzo pulled out a card, covered it up, and smiled smugly:
"Hahaha, it's your turn!"
Kagura Kirito brushed the dust off her clothes, completely unaffected by the attack just now.
"My turn! Draw a card!"
Kagura Kiryu drew a card, his eyes sharpened, and a smile appeared on his face:
"Then I'll show you what true synchronization is."
Otaki Shuzo was somewhat bewildered.
What does this kid mean? Does he want to be transferred as well?
"I activate the effect of [Junk Converter] in my hand, discarding this card and one Tuner!"
"I can add a Synchro monster from my deck to my hand!"
Kiryu Kagura sends two cards to the Graveyard, and one card automatically pops from the deck:
"I've chosen [Junk Synchron] from my deck!"
