"Continuous Spell ’Court of Justice’!" Momono said. "This card can only be activated during your Main Phase. When you control a Level 1 Fairy-type monster, you can Special Summon an Fairy-type monster from your hand!"
Just as Kira anticipated—a card that requires a Level 1 Fairy-type to activate could only be Court of Justice.
The question was, what Fairy-type was Momono planning to summon?
Momono didn’t immediately act, but narrowed his eyes at the three Hand-Holding Genies on Kira’s field.
"Hand-Holding Genie looks like a weak little fiend, but actually it hides a troublesome ability," he sneered. "While Hand-Holding Genie is on the field, your opponent can’t select other monsters as attack targets.
And with three Genies on the field, each one demands ’attack only me,’ so with all three in play, I can’t target any of them for an attack!"
"Heh?" Kira smiled. "As expected of the Store Breakers who built a hundred-counter deck library—your knowledge is impressive."
But Hand-Holding Genie isn’t a rare card, so it’s not surprising he knows.
"Haha, that was all in the past. Just a name I made for myself when I was young and reckless."
Momono narrowed his eyes.
"Not only that, Hand-Holding Genie’s DEF increases by the original DEF of all other monsters in defense position on the field.
Now, with two other Genies in defense position, their DEFs stack up."
[Hand-Holding Genie, DEF 3200]x2
"Over 3000 DEF is hard to crack," Momono said calmly. "In other words, even if I break through your monster effect defense, I still have to crack over 3000 DEF."
He paused but didn’t continue.
Well, this is just what you’d expect from the Duel King’s tactics. Right from the start, it’s a fortress of defense.
But...
He smirked slightly.
He had a countermeasure.
"The one I’m going to summon is this guy—"
Momono’s lips curled as he raised his card high. The card seemed to emit a white light bright enough to pierce the darkness.
"Absolute ruler of light, angel who banishes darkness—
—Tualatin!!!"
Countless lights gathered, forming silvery-white armor. A dazzling angel, its face nearly obscured by its brilliance, descended. The entire gloomy forest seemed to turn as bright as day.
[Tualatin, ATK 2800]
"Tualatin?" Kira frowned.
He remembered this one—a powerful lockdown monster, but unless it’s summoned by a specific effect, it was just a vanilla in the manga.
"Tualatin is the absolute ruler of light—no darkness is permitted on the field!"
Kira’s eyes began to shine dangerously as he examined the high-level angel on the other side.
This is also a pretty rare card. The ability to declare and lock out any attribute is powerful—feels like there’s potential to explore.
Not bad, not bad. Not bad at all. Momono really went to great lengths to bring this card to the island—Kira felt grateful.
"Now, your Genie wall is broken!" Momono crowed. "They always say the Duel King is a specialist in lockdowns, that his defenses are impenetrable. But now, it seems that’s all just because his previous opponents were scrubs!"
Kira shrugged, not bothering to argue.
"And I haven’t used my normal summon yet this turn," Momono shouted. "Let me finish this in one go—
—I tribute ’Watapon’ to tribute summon!
Come forth! Airknight Parshath!"
The Watapon vanished in a burst of light, which reformed into a glowing summoning circle. A holy white knight emerged from the circle, landing with dignity.
[Airknight Parshath, ATK 1900]
"Sorry, Duel King. Though our clash is brief, let me finish this right now!"
Momono shouted.
"First up, Tualatin, direct attack!"
A massive sphere of white light formed in front of Tualatin, swirling like a white-hot sun, roaring straight at Kira!
