401 Stardust
"My turn." Paradox said, "At this moment, activate the effect of Field Spell Card – Malefic World again. Instead of conducting my normal draw, I randomly add 1 'Malefic' monster from the deck to my hand."
His deck was shuffled again, and a card popped out from the top after the shuffling. Paradox took the card in his hand, glanced at it, and suddenly smiled strangely.
Then he cast a meaningful look at Yusei.
"I activate the effect of Malefic Stardust Dragon in my hand." He said with a sneer, "Send 'Stardust Dragon' from the Extra Deck to the graveyard, this card can be Special Summoned directly from the hand!
Fly in a world of sin! Malefic Stardust Dragon! "
The stream of light gathered by the stars soared into the sky. The white and holy dragon flew out under the wrapping of its wings, flew high into the air, and stretched out its wings that were dyed pitch black.
Starlight slowly fell from between its spread wings like countless raindrops. Stardust Dragon transformed into a sinful form raised his head, and screamed sharply in the direction of Yusei as if he was shouting——
——Master, save me QAQ!
[Malefic Stardust Dragon, ATK 2500]
"Star… Stardust…" Yusei lost his mind for a moment.
"Don't worry, Yusei." Yuei Vu comforted him, "We will get your Stardust Dragon back."
…and Paradox's Duel Disk, by the way.
Of course, Yuei Vu didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Yusei couldn't help being grateful: "Mr. Yuei Vu…"
"Then I normal summon Tuner monster, Malefic Parallel Gear."
The small golden gear of level two appeared on Paradox's field, and when he appeared on the field, blue starlight burst out from his body. It was very obvious that it was also a "Star Adjuster" monster, which contains the potential to manipulate stars.
[Malefic Parallel Gear, ATK 0]
"Level 2 Malefic Parallel Gear, Level 8 Malefic Stardust Dragon, tuning!" Paradox twitched the corner of his mouth, and smiled at Yusei, "You are not the only one who can Synchro Summon."
The golden gear turned into two bright stars, drawing a ring in mid-air, surrounding the dragon of stardust. Malefic Stardust Dragon also gradually dissipated under the influence of that power, leaving only eight stars. The ten stars spontaneously connected into a string, as if paving the way for a bright road of starlight.
[2+8=10]
"Synchro Summon!" Paradox raised his hand, "Level 10, Malefic Paradox Dragon!"
The dragon that was summoned following the guidance of the starlight has a long and pitch-black neck, a black body supported by a huge skeleton, and wide wings that are as hard as steel. The wings spread out overwhelmingly, giving people invisible huge pressure.
[Malefic Paradox Dragon, ATK 4000]
Yusei blocked his face with his arms, and could barely open his eyes under the strong wind from the dragon's wings: "What a strong monster…"
"Not only that! The effect of Malefic Paradox Dragon is activated." Paradox chuckled, "When this card is Synchro Summoned, I can Special Summon 1 Synchro Monster in my Graveyard; ignoring its Summoning conditions."
He raised his finger to the sky.
"Resurrect to my field, Stardust Dragon!!!"
This time, it was not a sin-bound gesture, but a real stardust dragon — the shining brilliance was released with countless crystal light spots, and the white light rushes into the sky, rolling up a pure white storm. The body of the noble dragon whirled, and the moment the wings flapped, the starlight scattered like water.
[Stardust Dragon, ATK 2500]
"Hahahaha, Yusei, your dragon will be the key to your defeat!" Paradox waved his hand, "The follow-up effect of Malefic Paradox Dragon! As long as the Synchro Monster that was Special Summoned by this effect exists on the field, all face-up monsters the opponent controls lose ATK equal to the ATK of that monster! (animation effect)
In other words, all your monsters' ATK will decrease by Stardust Dragon's attack power, which is 2500 points! "
It could be seen here that there is a huge difference between the real card and the animation card of the Malefic series.
In the early days of Synchro, the Malefic deck that could quickly summon powerful monsters unconditionally without losing cards was still relatively strong.
In particular, the Malefic series in the animation was very different from the real-life card. The Malefic monsters in the animation did not have the side effect that only one monster could exist on the field, or other monsters could not attack. Not only that, but they also completely copied the special effects of the original monsters.
In fact, if the problem of the Malefic deck's extreme dependence on the Field Spell was solved, Paradox was still quite powerful during this period. It was no wonder that he has the confidence to challenge the three generations of protagonists at the same time in the animation.
…It's a pity that he encountered three card printing machines…
"According to the effect of Malefic Paradox Dragon, the attack power of Flare Neos will drop by 2500 points."
Neos's body was wrapped in dark red energy, and he half-kneeled on the ground as if under tremendous pressure, and his breathing became more violent.
Yuei Vu even made up the image of the round crystal "Ding Dong Ding Dong" flickering on Neos's chest…
[Elemental HERO Flare Neos, ATK 4900 → ATK 2400]
"Battle!" Paradox shouted, "Malefic Paradox Dragon, smash that obtrusive Neos!"
The black dragon opened its mouth, and the impact of chaos and darkness blasted out like a cannon!
The weakened Neos could only barely raise his hand and release the flame barrier to resist, but it was completely useless. The domineering impact instantly shattered that layer of barrier, and crushed the armor on Neos's body, and his whole body exploded on the field with a miserable grunt.
[Judai, LP 2300 → LP 700]
The materialized storm caused Judai to take two steps back, and black smoke billowed from his whole body and the ground around him.
"Judai!" Yuei Vu turned his head sideways.
"…It's okay, Yuei Vu-sensei." Judai smiled and gave him a thumbs-up gesture.
"Hmph, are you still stubborn?" Paradox sneered, "But you have no next turn. This will be the final blow.
Stardust Dragon, finish him! "
Stardust Dragon let out a wail as if it was unwilling to follow orders. It opened its mouth reluctantly, and the starlight gathered, forming a silver-white vortex in its mouth.
Shooting Sonic!
"Judai-senpai!" Yusei couldn't help shouting.
Judai shouted: "Open the set card: Quick-Play Spell – The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh! Special summon 'Winged Kuriboh' from the deck!"
The card quickly flew out of his Duel Disk automatically and appeared on the field in the form of a Kuriboh with wings. The little guy with snow-white wings yelled "Kuri Kuri" twice – maybe he was called out suddenly and didn't understand the situation. However, in the next second, he collided head-on with Stardust Dragon's blow and hurriedly exited.
Winged Kuriboh: …
"It's dangerous, so dangerous." Judai smiled, "But we are not so easy to be defeated. In the turn Winged Kuriboh is destroyed, all the Battle Damage I take will become 0."
Paradox curled his lips: "Damn, then set a card, and my turn is over."
