The title for Chapter 131 is still undecided.
"Entering main phase two."
It's a bit embarrassing; the attack calculation was wrong.
The original plan was to use the Valiant Wood Owl as an overkill material to increase the Armory Falcon's attack power by 500 and finish off the enemy with 100 overkill points. However, I forgot that I didn't have enough overkill materials to capture the Valiant Wood Owl.
Bandil looked at the monster on his field and fell into thought.
Needless to say, the two Raptor Strike weapons have all had their effects activated and all the necessary materials extracted; the two barrel indicators for the Savage Dragon with its loading barrel have also been used up, so it's now just a 3700-point blank item.
I still have a Blurry Shrike in my hand. Because I just activated the second effect of the first Blurry Shrike during the Battle Phase, it is now under a self-restraint that states "I cannot Special Summon monsters other than 'Raid Raptor'".
There was no resistance on the field. If the duel couldn't end this round, then we'd wait until the next round when Rudy drew the movement point and sent it.
"Requires 2 Bird-Beast type Dark attribute monsters. I will set the Fireblade Falcon and Armory Falcon as link arrows to link and summon the Link-2 Wisdom Owl."
Since things have come to this, let's connect first.
Smart Wood Owl ATK1400
The Wise Forest Owl, which was previously bounced back by the elite Zephyrus, makes a reappearance.
"If this card, Wisdom Owl, is Link Summoned, I Special Summon [Rapid Raptor - Dark Shrike] from my Deck in Defense Position."
Strike Raptor - Dark Shrike DEF500
"Activate this effect if I control another 'Raid Raptor' monster from my hand (Blurred Shrike), and Special Summon it from my hand."
Fuzzy Shrike DEF1500
"Stack the Blurry Shrike and Dark Shrike together to Xyz Summon a Rank 4 Power Owl."
Martial Owl DEF2000→2500
"Remove one Xyz Material to activate the effect of Powerful Owl, and add [Rapid Raptor - Singing Shrike] from your Deck to your hand."
"If the effect of my 'Raid Raptor' Xyz Monster is activated, and the effect of Wisdom Owl is activated, I Set 'Rank-Up Spell - Soul Reaper' from my Deck."
"Flip over the face-down Normal Spell Card [Rank-Up Spell - Soul Reaper], pay half of my Life Points to target my Rank 5 Xyz Monster 'Raid Raptor' in the Graveyard, Brave Owl, Special Summon Brave Owl, then Rank-Up and Xyz Summon it to Rank 7! A second Arsenal Falcon!"
Bandil LP300→150
Arsenal Falcon ATK2500 → 3200
"The effect of Arsenal Falcon has no card name restriction and can be activated once per turn. Once I remove one Xyz Material from Arsenal Falcon, I Special Summon a Level 4 Winged Beast Monster from my Deck: [Rapid Raptor - Gasoline Fire Dragon Shrike]!"
Arsenal Falcon ATK3200 → 2500
Don't ask why these strange raptors are in Bandil's deck; he just included as many raptor spirit monsters of the same name as him as possible that he could resonate with.
Rapid Strike Raptor - Gasoline Bomb Fire Dragon Shrike DEF1000
"Uh, what's the effect of this card?"
For a moment, Redy couldn't recall what the effect of the Gasoline Fire Dragon Shrike was. She remembered that when she first saw this card, she had no intention of adding it to her deck. She only remembered that the card's benefits and costs were completely disproportionate.
"Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can activate this effect. Inflict 600 damage to your opponent. After this effect is activated, you cannot activate the effects of monsters other than 'Raid Raptor' until the end of this turn."
Bandil explained.
Well, you can't use your own Special Summon to fill the gap. If you burn 600 points on the opponent, you'll have to use the Raptor Monster's effect to self-restrict. After that, if there are other cards or axes that you can use, they'll be completely useless.
"Brother, I've been wanting to complain since earlier. You can't Special Summon monsters other than DARK monsters for self-restriction, you can only Special Summon Raid Raptor monsters for self-restriction, and now there's another one that can only be activated by Raid Raptor monster effects for self-restriction. Why include these cards that have self-restriction after activation? Won't this hinder your other support decks from unfolding?"
The entire Black Feather family, being of the Dark attribute, could still manage to move before the two of them used their self-control abilities, but Smolder, being of the Wind attribute, really doesn't care about life or death at all.
"Well, actually, Teacher Nianzhong has already devised a deck for me, but I want to try out my own understanding in this duel."
"Does the deck build provided by the new teacher include these cards?"
"...No, to be precise, apart from Wing Raid, the main deck does not include any other Raid Raptor monsters."
"..."
At that moment, Xing Liang's voice drifted from below the stage.
“I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn’t listen.”
Bandil insisted on keeping more than half of his deck to be Raid Raptor monsters, using the excuse that "we might need them" to cram those inexplicable Raid Raptor monsters into the deck.
Since the child is going to be a long-term partner, Xing Liang couldn't directly start teaching him physics, so he simply stopped trying to persuade him.
Don’t understand, but respect.
"Ahem, don't make unwarranted criticisms. See, we're using it now, aren't we?"
Faced with the speechless expressions of the audience (Xing Ya was focused on showing off her snacks), Bandir's ears turned slightly red, and he coughed twice before speaking.
Rudy sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.
"Brother, is it possible that if you had adjusted the deck according to the build your new teacher gave you, you could have defeated me just now?"
Xing Liang remained silent, only popping cucumber-flavored potato chips into his mouth in agreement.
She's teachable. I'll help her flip through a couple of cards from her deck later to optimize her build, but before that...
Xing Liang observed the way Rudi looked at Bandil for a while, then glanced at his own silly little sister.
Are you like me?
"Activate the petrol bomb's Fire Dragon Shrike effect, dealing 600 damage to you!"
After a deafening silence, Bandil decided to activate the effect first.
The petrol bomb fire dragon shrike was also panting, and the flames it spewed from its mouth enveloped most of the dueling platform.
Then it only dealt 600 damage.
Ruiti LP400→0
The duel is over.
"I originally wanted to go easy on my brother and give him a chance, but now that we've lost, why do I feel so frustrated?"
Reid took the Ultimate Falcon out of the graveyard and muttered to herself as she held it in her hand.
Although things have changed, some things still remain the same.
"Because this is no longer releasing water, it's directly opening the floodgates to release floodwater."
After handing Bandir over to the defender and having him take Bandir and Xing Ya to the dueling room next door to continue their training, Xing Liang dusted off the potato chip crumbs on his hands and walked onto the dueling platform.
"Leaving aside dueling skills, your brother's deck building is a complete mess. He wants to add new cards to take a different approach to become stronger, but he is unwilling to give up his original Raptor decks. As a result, the deck building becomes more and more abstract."
As he said this, he tossed the towel he was using to dry his hands aside and inserted his deck into the Duel Disk.
(After all, you'll be handling the cards, so it's best to keep your hands as clean as possible.)
"From yesterday until now, I can say I've witnessed both extremes of your Raptor Raptor's power. In the duel just now, you held back, so I didn't really see your true level. Therefore..."
The duel disk unfolds, like ink dripping into clear water, and pressure gradually permeates the entire duel room.
Thinking that Rudy was in danger, the avatar of the satellite cannon falcon appeared on its own and protected her behind it.
"Now, give it your all and attack!"
(I forgot to post this after waking up; the next chapter will be back to the competition.)
