# Chapter 702: The Duelist's Ultimate Subject
As the Field Spell Card was activated, the environment beneath everyone's feet changed in an instant. The surroundings turned into a fiery red Magic Space, and in the center of the profound Magic Circle, the figure of a Magician wearing a Mage Robe appeared.
【Aleister the Invoker】【ATK 1000】
"Sa, showtime da~" Twirling the Staff in his hand, Aleister struck a cool pose and said, "Next is my Stage."
Compared to the previous two instances of Milling being continuously Negated, the Normal Summon of 【Magical Meltdown】 and 【Aleister the Invoker】 went much smoother. the Gravekeeper's Elder also didn't Activate the Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone.
However, just when Hayato thought his opponent had run out of moves, the Gravekeeper's Elder pulled out a lighter—ah, no, he pulled out another Trap.
Before 【Aleister the Invoker】 could Search for his signature move, the Gravekeeper's Elder waved his hand and Ordered: "Then, Chain to that monster's Summon, I Activate my third Set Card, the Continuous Trap 【Imperial Order】!"
"This Card can be used when a monster's effect that activates upon its successful Summon is activated. That Spellcaster monster's Effect Activation will be Negated by 【Imperial Order】, but as Compensation, you can Draw a Card."
"This is my Invincible all-encompassing Penalty Deck! Hahahaha!"
As 【Aleister】 raised his Staff, a pair of Handcuffs suddenly clamped onto his hands. In a state of confusion, the Magic-Blocking Handcuffs directly Broke Through the Magic Circle of 【Invocation】 which had yet to be Set Up.
Off-field, Yugi watched Hayato Draw the Compensation Card, his expression becoming serious: "It Looks Like the opponent being an Elder in the Tomb Keepers who presides over Punishment isn't just because of his age. He at least has a certain Strength and isn't the Nobody I initially thought. The Situation is getting a bit difficult for Hayato."
"Eh? But Yugi, I remember before, didn't Hayato and you highly regard the concept of 'Card Advantage'? Even though Hayato's Effects were Negated three times in a row, he still has five Cards in his Hand, shouldn't he still have the Advantage?" Téa , who was standing nearby, said with a hint of Confusion upon hearing this.
Because of the presence of these Top Duelists around her, Téa had also picked up quite a bit of Dueling Trivia through osmosis.
"The concept of 'Card Advantage' does exist, that's not wrong. But besides that, there's another concept, which is the existence of consuming Resources like gasoline in an internal combustion engine, converting them into tangible Advantage. That is, a Deck's 'Play Starter'."
Using an easy-to-understand example, Yugi patiently explained to Téa beside him, "It's like how I like to use 【Magical Merchant】 to quickly Tribute Summon 【Dark Magician Girl】, and then sequentially Field Setup to Summon 【Dark Magician】 and Set Up Magical Combination. The Cards Hayato just used, whether it was 【That Grass Looks Greener】, 【Reasoning】, or 【Aleister the Invoker】, are all Cards that can be used as Starting Points to Field Setup the Deck."
"However, all three Field Setups were Broken Through. Especially the Appearance of 【Aleister the Invoker】 consumed Hayato's Normal Summon for this Turn. Without a Play Starter that can consume and Utilize the Hand, having Infinite Hand Cards is meaningless."
"Achoo!"
As Yugi spoke, Marik, who was also watching the Duel, suddenly sneezed.
He had reason to suspect that Yugi's last sentence was definitely hinting at him. In the Battle City Top 8 to Top 4 match, wasn't it his Dark Personality, Dark Marik, who had Control of his body, who fell for Yugi's Strategy and Decked Out with an Infinite Hand, leading to his Defeat?
However, the Marik with the Ah Q Spirit was quite open-minded. What did the Bad Play made by Dark Marik, that Six-Year-Old (Nickname), have to do with a sunny big boy like me, Marik?
"Precisely because of that, I said the Situation is slightly difficult for Hayato," Yugi Paused, seeing the Composure on Hayato's face, and continued, "However, it's only 'slightly'. Hayato is a True Duelist; this level of Difficulty won't make him feel Troublesome."
And just as Yugi said, after Hayato's three Play Starters were all Negated, he instead showed a Smile: "Phew, well, I stepped on the Traps quite accurately, didn't I? By paying the Stakes of a few Cards, I successfully probed the existence of three Traps."
"But it's a Pity that Aleister's Effect was Negated, I was ready to sing." As he spoke, Hayato glanced at the 【Aleister the Invoker】 on his Field, his Finger twitching as if he wanted to play a Card.
But Aleister was completely unaware of Hayato's small action. He raised his hands, which were handcuffed together, and Revealed them to Hayato: "There's nothing I can do, Master, it's really not that I don't want to help. Looks Like, I can only stand on the Field and do nothing now."
Although he had been by Hayato's side for some time, Aleister hadn't realized what Hayato's Dueling Style was truly like.
And the next moment, a Space Tunnel slowly opened beneath his feet.
"Huh? What's this?" Turning his head back strangely, Aleister saw a Card that appeared behind him. He subconsciously read out the Card Name and the written effect: "【Monster Gate】, Activate by Tributing one monster on your Field. Flip Cards from the Top of your Deck until a monster that can be Normal Summoned appears, Special Summon that monster, and Send all remaining flipped Cards to the Graveyard?"
"Wait, wait a minute, Master, you're not going to Tribute me, are you!?"
"There's nothing I can do, Aleister, I don't want to either, but right now, you standing on the Field only have one Usefulness to me, and that's being Tributed," Hayato inserted the Card into his Duel Disk and said ruthlessly, "Alright, you, who have no Merchandise Value, are now Out of Print!"
"Yamete~" After a mischievous yell, Aleister was Absorbed by the Space Tunnel beneath his feet, and the Cards on the Top of Deck automatically flipped.
If Hayato were using an 【Infernoid】 Deck this time, because all 【Infernoid】 monsters except 【Decatron】 are monsters that cannot be Normal Summoned, Hayato could basically Utilize the Effect of 【Monster Gate】 to Mill a large number of Cards into the Graveyard In one go. But unfortunately, this time Hayato wasn't using 【Infernoid】, but rather—
"Tsk, how unlucky, the first Card flipped is actually a monster that can be Normal Summoned." Looking at the Card flipped from the Top of the Deck, Hayato Drew it and Placed it on his Duel Disk, "Then, due to the Effect of 【Monster Gate】, I Special Summon 【Shaddoll Falcon】 in Attack Position onto my Field!"
As If it were the regurgitation of a Living being, the Space Tunnel that Absorbed Aleister spit out a new Monster—a Falcon with a slightly mechanized body structure, black-purple all over, inlaid with purple jade in various places, and connected by silk threads.
However, although it Looks Like a Winged Beast Type in Form and its structure resembles a Machine Type, the monster that appeared on Hayato's Field was surprisingly a Spellcaster Type.
【Shaddoll Falcon】【Level 2/DARK Attribute】
【Spellcaster Type/Flip/Effect】
【600/1400】
Similar to 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 and others, 【Shaddoll Falcon】 was originally a Tuner Monster, but due to the Restriction of the Era, the "Tuner" wording was removed. However, Hayato is playing a Pure 【Shaddoll】 Deck. Although it has a Small Engine of 【Aleister the Invoker】 as an Engine, it is still a Pure 【Shaddoll】 Deck. The extremely Pure 【Shaddoll】 Deck focuses on Fusion Summoning and doesn't need things like Tuners; the Purity is too low.
"It's 【Shaddoll】," Seeing 【Shaddoll Falcon】 appear, Joey Wheeler couldn't help but feel a chill, recalling the painful experience of constantly engaging in a Battle of Wits with Hayato's monster nicknamed "Mi" not long ago.
But the Gravekeeper's Elder, who didn't Know how Amazing 【Shaddoll】 was, looked at the Puppet Falcon that appeared on Hayato's Field with some Disdain: "Hmph, a piece of scum with only 600 ATK, not even as good as that monster that looked like a Scumbag just now. Looks Like, you rude fellow are just talking tough. What's the Use of being able to Fight? To make a living out here, you need to Know how to Duel, you little punk."
"Well, 【Shaddoll Falcon】's ATK/DEF are indeed lower than Aleister's. A Normal Summon plus 【Monster Gate】 only exchanged for a monster of this Strength, so it really is a Card Disadvantage," Hayato said, Drawing a Card from his Hand, "But me, I'm the type who considers it a loss if I don't pick up something when I go out. Losing Card Advantage is more unbearable than anything else to me, so I'll earn it back with this Card."
"Spell Card 【Upgrade Transformation】! Send 【Shaddoll Falcon】 on my Field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon one monster from my Deck with the same Type and Attribute as 【Shaddoll Falcon】 but 1 Level higher."
【Shaddoll Falcon】 dissolved on Hayato's Field and sank into the Shadow beneath his feet. The Shadow expanded to a certain Size, and a Hedgehog with similar coloring to 【Shaddoll Falcon】 appeared.
【Shaddoll Hedgehog】【Level 3/DARK Attribute】
【Spellcaster Type/Flip/Effect】
【800/200】
Not only that, but at the same time as 【Shaddoll Hedgehog】's Appearance, the Shadow beneath its feet didn't Disappear; instead, it Moved to the side, and the Figure of 【Shaddoll Falcon】 flashed by within the Shadow.
"When Sent to the Graveyard by an Effect, 【Shaddoll Falcon】's Effect Activation! I Summon it in Face-Down Defense Position onto my Field," Hayato Explained, "Summoning from the Deck while also not losing the monster on the Field. Rounding up, this is called a Freebie."
Although the number of monsters on Hayato's Field increased to two, the Gravekeeper's Elder Still wore an Indifferent Expression.
"Tsk, how Flashy. What's the Difference between two monsters? Aren't they just Small Fry monsters with ATK less than 1500, unable to Break Through the Defense of that monster you left on my Field that Looks Like it's clumsy?"
The Gravekeeper's Elder's contemptuous tone while speaking offended all three monsters on the Field. 【Shaddoll Falcon】 and 【Shaddoll Hedgehog】 had no Self-consciousness and didn't react, but Little Blue, who was standing on his Field, couldn't help but Protest: "Little Blue is very useful, okay? The one who calls others clumsy is the Idiot!"
"When Little Blue gets Serious, I would absolutely never do something like Milling Powerful Cards into the Graveyard, uh, probably?" But as she spoke, Little Blue became a little less confident again, and forcibly Defended, "Idiots don't catch colds, you know? Little Blue, I, broke the washing machine last time when I was washing clothes and got completely soaked, almost catching a cold, so I'm definitely not an Idiot! Mm, that's how it is!"
However, the Gravekeeper's Elder, who couldn't see Card Spirits, didn't hear a single word of Little Blue's rather powerless Defense.
"Holding my monster and also belittling my monster as clumsy, what a Wicked fellow," Hearing the Gravekeeper's Elder's words, Hayato glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "But who said I was going to Attack the cute Little Blue with them? Little Blue is my Dearest Friend and Family, my Brothers."
"What kind of Strange adjective is that?" Little Blue couldn't help but Rant.
But Hayato Paid no heed. He looked at the three remaining Cards in his Hand and Drew one of them: "At this moment, the Materials prepared for it are all gathered. I originally intended to Battle in the way of an Invoker, but I didn't expect to get endless Traps in return."
"I'll show my hand. Fusion Summon is the Most Noble Summoning Method! Activate Spell Card 【Polymerization】! I use 【Shaddoll Hedgehog】 and 【Shaddoll Falcon】 on my Field as Fusion Material!"
Hearing Hayato's words, Joey Wheeler grabbed Tristan 's arm tightly: "It's coming, that monster is coming!"
"What are you doing with so much Strength? Let go of me, Joey Wheeler !"
Amidst Tristan 's cries of pain, Hayato's 【Polymerization】 successfully Activated. Although the Field Spell Card 【Magical Meltdown】 seemingly was only used to Search for 【Aleister the Invoker】, it Actually provided Hayato with the Power that when Activating an effect that Fusion Summons a Fusion Monster, the Activation cannot be Negated, and when that Fusion Summon is successful, the Opponent cannot Activate Spell/Trap/Monster Effects!
No one could stop Hayato from Summoning that monster that Joey Wheeler was so concerned about onto the Field!
"Materials are, a 【Shaddoll】 monster plus one DARK Attribute monster! Souls wandering between Life and Death! Release the Resentment settled in the Abyss of Darkness upon this Land!"
"Fusion Summon, 【El Shaddoll---】"
Taking a deep breath, Hayato shouted loudly, "El Shaddoll Midrash!!!"
The two monsters rising from the shadows returned into the shadows. Under the Power of 【Polymerization】, the Power Resonance between the two monsters Awakened the Deeper Existence slumbering within the Power of 【Shaddoll】's Shadow.
Named "El Shaddoll (meaning 'Explanation')", the Gusto Shrine Maiden who died in the past and the Four Sons (Yang Zing Monsters) from 【Yang Zing】 formed a combination and Revived from the Gap Between the Dead and the Living. A Card Monster combining multiple XP Factors such as "Puppet", "Beautiful Girl", "Frail Limbs", "Monster Girl", "Corrupted", "Human Modification", and "Limb Amputation" appeared!
【El Shaddoll Midrash】【Level 5/DARK Attribute】
【Spellcaster Type/Fusion/Effect】
【2200/800】
"The Ultimate Subject that Duelists ultimately cannot avoid—How to Out 'Mi'." Hayato extended his hand and pointed towards the Gravekeeper's Elder, "Sa, begin your Experiment."
In 2014, everyone was trying to Out El Shaddoll Midrash with Normal Hand Fusion.
In 2016, everyone was trying to Out El Shaddoll Midrash with Neptune Cosplay.
In 2019, everyone was trying to Out El Shaddoll Midrash escorted by Double Apex.
In 2020, everyone was trying to Out El Shaddoll Midrash with Apocrypha Quick Effect.
In 2022, everyone was trying to Out El Shaddoll Midrash with Tearlaments Quick Effect.
