# Chapter 175: Sergey Volkov VS Kaito
"Using two materials for both Synchro Summon and Fusion Summon simultaneously?" As the Female Commentator watched in shock, identical phantoms appeared beside Sergey Volkov's two monsters on the Field.
"First, I Tune the Level 5 Earthbound Prisoner Stone Sweeper with the Level 3 Earthbound Prisoner Line Walker!"
[3+5=8]
"Awaken from the depths, O winged giant beast of broken vows, Synchro Summon, Descend! Level 8! Earthbound Servant Geo Gryphon!"
The phantoms of the two monsters formed a dark channel, and in moments, a black bird covered in yellow marks was born from it.
Earthbound Servant Geo Gryphon ATK: 2500
"Next, I will Fusion Summon Stone Sweeper and Line Walker!"
"O prisoner lurking in the earth, unite with the convict ceaselessly marching towards the execution ground, and become the giant beast that administers punishment! Appear! Level 8! Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken!"
The physical forms of the two monsters behind Sergey Volkov slowly merged under the effect of a purple vortex. This sight made Kaito's expression change drastically. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is...? Academy's Fusion Summon? Is this guy from the Academy?"
A dark octopus, its entire body covered in purple markings, appeared behind Sergey Volkov, its tentacles thrashing.
Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken ATK: 2800
"I set two cards face-down. I end my turn." Sergey Volkov ended his turn with a wild laugh, his menacing D-Wheel and the two monsters behind him violently destroying the road they passed.
Just then, inside the Security, a silver-haired Hook-nosed Man, seated at the highest point of the Command Center, picked up a goblet beside him. After taking a sip of the wine, he subtly moved a chess piece next to him, all while observing Kaito's slightly changed expression on the screen before him.
He whispered, "A Duelist from the XYZ Dimension, did he recognize the aura of this Fusion Summon?"
"In that case, there's no reason to let you remain," the Hook-nosed Man said with a sinister look in his eyes.
…
"Is this the cyborg that Yūga Hōzumi warned us about?" Kaito, trailing behind, dodged a piece of gravel that flew up from the road destroyed by Sergey Volkov and frowned. "And this style of play, truly befitting those dogs from the Academy!"
"Before you use this Fusion Summon from the Academy in front of me, are you prepared to repent?" Kaito roared, "My turn! Draw!"
"Spell Card, Photon Sanctuary, activate! I Special Summon two Level 4, 2000 ATK Photon Tokens to the Field!"
"Next, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon can be Special Summoned by Tributing two monsters with 2000 or more ATK!" In Kaito's hand, a javelin formed from flowing light appeared out of thin air. Kaito threw it forcefully skyward.
"O Galaxy that shines in darkness, become a light of hope and dwell within me! Avatar of Light, Descend here! Appear, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
Brilliant light erupted from the javelin Kaito had thrown into the sky, and a deafening dragon roar echoed through the clouds. A giant dragon with galaxies in its eyes roared as it appeared!
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon ATK: 3000
"At this moment, Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken's effect activates!" As soon as Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon appeared, the tentacles of the dark octopus beside Sergey Volkov coiled around it. "Once per turn, if your opponent Normal Summons or Special Summons a monster with higher ATK than this card, destroy all monsters on your opponent's Field, and for each monster destroyed, inflict 800 effect damage to your opponent! (Anime Effect modified, original effect was too dumb.)"
With a mournful cry, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon was strangled into fragments by the octopus tentacles, turning into specks of flowing light and dissipating in the wind.
Kaito's Life Points: 4000 → 3200
With Galaxy-Eyes destroyed, Kaito's face showed no change. Instead, he revealed another card: "Spell Card, Galaxy Trance, activate! I pay 2000 Life Points to target one Photon monster in my Graveyard. Then, Special Summon one Galaxy monster from my Deck with the same Level as that monster, and the targeted monster from the Graveyard, in Defense Position! The ATK of monsters Special Summoned by this effect become 2000, and their effects are negated!"
Kaito's Life Points: 3200 → 1200
Kaito let out a low growl, and specks of light particles dispersed from his white photon robe, forming the outlines of two giant dragons in the air.
"I Special Summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from my Graveyard and Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon from my Deck!"
Two dragon roars echoed consecutively on the Field. The bodies of the giant dragons, formed of light, instantly solidified and roared towards Sergey Volkov in front of them.
"I Overlay two Level 8 monsters!" Kaito roared, raising his right hand high. The crimson "62" slowly appeared on his right hand, shining in contrast with the golden vortex that emerged in the sky.
"O Light and Darkness that wander the universe, slumbering in their chasm, sorrowful Dragons! Concentrate your power and open the door to truth! Xyz Summon! Descend! Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon!"
From the vast vortex in the sky, a dragon roar filled with endless sorrow resonated. A giant dragon with blue armor the color of the ocean, its twin wings radiating dazzling light, flew out from the vortex.
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon ATK: 4000
"A Number monster?" The Female Commentator looked at the light dragon slowly descending, then paused, sensing the terrifying aura unique to Number monsters. She murmured, "So, this is the Galaxy King's trump card?"
"Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon's effect! As long as this card is on the Field in face-up Position, all monsters on the Field other than Xyz monsters are treated as having a Rank equal to their Level. Also, once per turn, you can increase the Rank of all monsters on the Field by 1 Rank (Anime Effect)."
After a series of battles, and after this world's Kite's photon robe affinity broke through 70%, this Number monster, which Yūga Hōzumi had given him earliest, also transformed from its censored real card effect to its original effect, except for the effect that prevented it from being destroyed by non-Number monsters, which was still restricted by the world's power.
Earthbound Servant Geo Gryphon Level: 8 → Rank: 8 → 9
Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken Level: 8 → Rank: 8 → 9
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon Rank: 8 → 9
"Battle!" Kaito's eyes filled with malice, he roared, "Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon, attack Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken!"
Feeling its master's rage, Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon in the sky raised its head and spewed a brilliant torrent of light, sweeping towards the dark octopus wrapped in purple markings beside Sergey Volkov.
"At this moment, Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon's effect activates! When this card battles, its ATK increases by the total Rank of all monsters on the Field × 200."
"The total Rank of monsters currently on the Field is 27! Therefore, this card's ATK increases by 5400!"
Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon ATK: 4000 → 9400
(The opponent's Deck in this chapter isn't OCG-ified, and its effects were too weak, so I made a slight modification.)
(Regarding supporting character roles, Bruno will be a very important character later on, so he has a bit more screentime, please bear with it. The protagonist will start appearing after the top 4 matches end.)
