Rex Raptor exhaled.

Tri-Horned Dragon got boxed right away, but it was still within expectations.

He'd survived worse—like losing Red-Eyes to Joey's Time Wizard. Compared to that, this was nothing.

"But my turn isn't over."

Rex drew another card.

"I activate the Continuous Spell—Mirage of Nightmare. During your standby phase, I draw until I have four cards in hand, but during my standby phase, I must randomly discard that many."

Kira remained expressionless.

Ah, the anime world, where banned cards get played like it's nothing.

"Then I set two face-downs and end my turn."

Kira drew: "My turn. Draw."

"At this moment, 'Mirage of Nightmare' activates. I draw up to four cards," Rex announced.

The power of banned cards—Rex's empty hand was instantly refilled.

But Kira calmly played his draw: "Spell Card—Pot of Greed. Draw two more cards."

What a fair game! Anyone else could play banned cards.

After drawing, Kira continued, "Now I summon the 'Machina Gearframe' I searched last turn."

A monster card slammed onto the field.

"Machina Gearframe in attack mode."

[Machina Gearframe, ATK 1800]

"Gearframe's effect activates. On summon, I add a 'Machina' card other than Gearframe from my deck to my hand."

"So that's it—the Peacekeeper destroyed the last turn searched Gearframe, and Gearframe can search Fortress. Looks like Kira's setup was all for 'Machina Fortress'!"

"This is getting interesting," Sasaki smiled.

"I add 'Machina Fortress' to my hand."

Kira then revealed Fortress and another monster card.

"Now, Fortress's effect. Even though it's a Level 7 monster, I can discard Machine monsters whose levels total 8 or more from my hand to special summon it from hand or grave.

I discard 'Machina Megaform' Level 8 to special summon 'Machina Fortress'!"

A card hit the grave, and the heavy metal fortress appeared, its huge treads and pale blue armor announcing the justice of firepower.

[Machina Fortress, ATK 2500]

"Battle. First, Fortress attacks the face-down Tri-Horned Dragon!"

[Tri-Horned Dragon, DEF 2350]

The fortress's cannon locked on and fired with a roar, blasting the hidden dragon to dust before it ever saw the light of day.

"Now, Gearframe attacks directly!"

The red mech dashed forward, its metal body kicking Rex down.

[Raptor, LP 2600 → LP 800]

The crowd was in an uproar.

The legendary Rex Raptor, expected to dominate, was being crushed by a rookie.

"Truly an unexpected turn of events," the commentators murmured.
