Chapter 199

"Send EARTH Attribute [Hero] monster from the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon a [Masked HERO] monster of the same Attribute."

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]

"Henshin! [Masked HERO Diamond]!"

Click click click...

Golden Blade Man's entire body cracked and then exploded.

Bang!

The figure inside was revealed; it was a silver Kamen Rider, his silver armor studded with several large diamonds, wearing a blue cape, and holding a silver javelin.

[Masked HERO Diamond: Attack Power 2800]

Titan suddenly realized, "I see. Because it's a monster Special Summoned by Quick-Play Spell, it can launch an additional attack during this Battle Phase to destroy [Hell Soldier Demon]."

"But even so, it can't harm [King of Extinction Demon]. When it's my turn, I can turn the tables and destroy your monster. My victory is insurmountable."

Judai smiled confidently, "Then just watch and see how I retaliate..."

"The battle continues! [Masked HERO Diamond] attacks [Hell Soldier Demon], take this!"

Baozuan rushed forward and thrust his spear forward.

Bang--!!

Without the protection of the Shield of Conspiracy, the Soldier Demon was finally defeated this time.

Titan calmly stated, "Although the [Hell Soldier Demon] has been destroyed, I will still be unharmed due to the effect of [Shield of Conspiracy]."

"So, can you still stay calm?"

Judai waved his arm and shouted, "At this moment, [Masked HERO Diamond]'s special ability is activated!"

You can activate this effect when this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower [HERO] monster from your Deck.

"Show yourself, [Elemental HERO Avian]!"

Buzz--!!

A flash of light appeared, and a muscular warrior with a propeller-like wing on his back was projected onto the screen.

[Elemental HERO Avian: Defense 300]

"The moment [Elemental HERO Avian] enters the field, activate one of its special effects: destroy up to the number of [HERO] monsters you control other than yourself that are on the field's Spell Card or Trap Card."

"Destroy the spell [Pandemon Temple - Lair of Demons] on the field!"

"Not good!!"

The next second, Sky Scourge's spiral wings spun wildly, creating a tornado centered on it, and the storm quickly swept through the nest.

Rumble--!!

The nest, destroyed by the storm, collapsed all at once.

Chapter Eighteen: My Favorite Hero

Before long, the demon's lair vanished completely in the storm.

Judai chuckled smugly, "Heh heh, with [Pandemon Palace - Demon's Lair -] gone from the field, [Queen Demise] can no longer activate its effect, and [King of Extinction Demon] will also lose its ability to counterattack."

Upon hearing this, Titan gritted his teeth, "Oh no! Always trying to be clever!"

Judai shrugged nonchalantly, then inserted the remaining cards in his hand into the Duel Disk.

"Finally, set one card face down to end the turn."

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1 → 0]

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Tony Titan's Hand Cards: 0 → 1]

Another card popped out of the deck on his chest, and Titan casually caught it.

Before he could even examine the card, Judai spoke up, "Since the effect of [Pandemon Palace - Lair of Demons -] has disappeared, you will have to pay 800 life points to maintain [King of Extinction Demon]."

Titan: "Ugh..."

A cloud of black smoke billowed from his mouth.

[Tony Titan: LP3200→2400]

After exhaling, Titan revealed the card in his hand, "At the cost of banishing ten cards from the top of my deck, I activate the Spell Card [Pot of Desires], and draw two cards from my deck."

He took ten cards from the deck at once, and then took two more cards into his hand.

[Tony Titan's Hand Cards: 1→2]

He glanced at the card in his hand and said with a sneer, "In this round, you will witness a new hell."

"I will offer [the King of Extinction Demon] as a sacrifice..."

The demon king vanished from his sight, and then he revealed a card in his hand.

"Appear, [Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck, and a lightning demon that looked exactly like the Summoned Skull appeared.

[Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon: Attack Power 2500]

[Tony Titan's Hand Cards: 2 → 1]

"[Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon]'s effect is that when this monster becomes the target of an opponent's effect, the Hell Wheel effect is activated."

'When this card becomes the target of an opponent's card effect, roll the dice once during effect resolution. If you roll a 1, 3, or 6, negate this effect and destroy it.'

In other words, this monster has a 50% chance of negating the target's effect, and there is no limit to the number of turns it can take.

Looking at the demon, Judai frowned and said, "It seems this is your ace monster, but with only 2500 attack power, it can't beat Diamond."

"Of course, that's not all..."

With that, Titan revealed his last Spell Card.

"Equip Spell [Axe of Despair] to this card, equip it to [Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon], and its ATK increases by 1000."

A demon-shaped axe was projected and picked up by the skeletal demon.

[Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon: Attack Power 2500 → 3500]

[Tony Titan's Hand Cards: 1 → 0]

"3500 attack power? That's impressive..."

Judai nodded and casually pressed the button to open the trap card. "Then I'll activate the Trap Card, [Weapon Summon]!"

"Add an Equip Spell Card from your Deck to your hand, and then equip that card to one of your monsters."

Open your deck, and after searching, select a card to insert into your Duel Disk.

"Equip Spell [Favorite Hero] activated, equip this card to a Level 5 or higher [Hero] monster."

Equipping the card to the jewel didn't change anything.

Titan scoffed, "I thought there was something special, but this is all?"

Without further hesitation, he swung his hand and commanded, "Battle begins! I'll use [Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon] against [Masked HERO Diamond]..."

Just as he was about to shout 'Attack!', Judai quickly interrupted him, 'Ooh! Wait a minute!'

"At the start of the battle phase, I activate the effect of the Equip Spell [Favorite Hero]."

You can activate this effect at the start of either player's Battle Phase. Select 1 Field Spell Card from your hand or Deck to activate this effect.

"I activate the Field Spell [Gate of Fusion] from my deck."

When Judai placed the cards in the field area, the Diamond and Jewel finally changed.

[Masked HERO Diamond: Attack Power 2800 → 5800]

"What?! Attack power has increased to 5800 points?! How is this possible?!"

Titan's tone was one of utter shock.

Judai explained, "Another effect of the Equip Spell [Favorite Hero] is that if you control Field Spell Card, the equipped monster cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects, and its ATK increases by its original DEF value."

"The Diamond's defense is 3000 points, therefore its attack power increases to 5800 points."

Titan gritted his teeth. "Damn it..."

"Then I'll use [Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon] to attack [Elemental HERO Avian]!"

At his command, the skeletal demon grabbed its axe and charged forward, slashing down at Sky Scourge.

Bang--!!

Sky Scourge was instantly destroyed.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 0→1]

Judai forcibly ended the opponent's turn, then glanced at his hand before launching an attack.

"The battle has begun! [Masked HERO Diamond] versus [Thunder Demon King - Skeleton Demon], take this!"

The jewel charged forward again, thrusting its spear at the skeletal demon with incredible speed.

Bang--!!

The skeletal demon was instantly pierced by the javelin, and a massive amount of damage struck the Titan.

"Ughh..."

[Tony Titan: LP2400→100]

Titan said unwillingly, "It's not over yet, I still have some health points left..."

Judai shook his head. "Unfortunately, it's over."

Judai waved his arm and shouted, "The final effect of the Equip Spell [Favorite Hero] is activated!"

When an equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster by attack, you can send this card to the Graveyard to activate this effect. That attacking monster can then attack once more.

"What did you say?"

The next moment, the jewel, still standing in front of Titan, swung its javelin, instantly slicing through his body.

"Ugh..."

[Tony Titan: LP100→0]

The instant his health points reached zero, all the slimes in the dark space converged on his location, quickly burying him.

"Ahhh! There really is Dark Yami?! Damn it, Yusei Fudo, you just wait! I'll be back!"

Just before Titan was completely swallowed by darkness, his unwilling voice rang out.

At the same time, alerted by Winged Kuriboh, Judai noticed a gap behind him.

Without hesitation, he slipped through the gap and escaped the space.

Chapter Nineteen Arbitration Duel

Asuka waited for a long time outside the dark space.

"Why haven't they come out yet?"

She was a little worried about Judai's current situation.

Just as she was about to go up and check, a figure suddenly emerged from the large black sphere and returned to the underground space of the old dormitory.

Upon seeing this, Asuka rushed forward to check on him, "Judai, are you alright?"

As soon as Judai came out, he saw her, shrugged, and laughed, "What could possibly be wrong with me? You're overthinking it, Asuka."

"It's good that you're alright..."

Asuka patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she remembered something else, "Oh right, where's that person from just now?"
