Chapter 205

At her command, the E-HERO Ice Edge spun rapidly in a ballet-like motion, instantly moving to the opposite side and slashing at the maze with the blade of the ice skate.

"We won't let you succeed!"

Mi gestured to Gong beside her, who nodded and quickly pressed the button to cover the card.

"Activate the Trap Card [Counter Gate], negate the opponent's monster's direct attack!"

Clang--!!

The E-HERO Ice Edge's attack landed instantly on a door that had suddenly appeared.

"Then, because of the effect of [Counter Gate], I draw another card from my deck. If it's a monster, I can summon it in Attack Position."

[Miyataka: 1→2]

After glancing at his hand, Gong shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity, they're not monster cards..."

Asuka frowned slightly. "They even considered the possibility of their partner not having any monsters on the field?! As expected of the Labyrinth Brothers, their teamwork is superb."

Then she inserted a card into the Duel Disk: "Then I'll face down one more card, end of turn."

[Asuka Tenjoin Hand Card: 4→3]

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Mysterious Hand Cards: 6→7]

After drawing a card, Mi first inserted a card into the Duel Disk, then activated the Spell Card [Monster Reborn], summoning [Landmine Spider] from the Graveyard.

After a flash of light, the giant spider reappeared on the field.

[Landmine Spider: Attack Power 2200]

[Mysterious Hand Cards: 7→6]

Upon seeing the monster revive, Asuka exclaimed, "At this moment, since the opponent has three monsters on the field, the effect of [E-HERO Ice Edge] changes to 'Negate the effects of cards activated by the opponent,' and its attack power is restored to normal."

[E-HERO Ice Edge: Attack Power 4200 → 2100]

"This way, I can't use Spell Card anymore, which is indeed a very powerful effect. But I've also lost my powerful attack power, making it much easier to destroy."

After Mi finished speaking, Asuka nodded and continued, "Of course we considered that, so I'll activate the Trap Card [Taunt]."

"During your opponent's Main Phase 1, select one monster on your field. Your opponent must attack that selected monster this turn."

She then pointed to the figure diagonally above her, "I've chosen [Elemental HERO Phoenix Enforcer], of course!"

At this moment, Judai chuckled and said, "At the same time, the Phoenix Man's special effect is that this monster cannot be destroyed in battle."

"What?!"

The Labyrinth Brothers were immediately stunned.

While sealing the opponent's effect, it also prevented Judai and his team's monsters from being destroyed in battle, effectively achieving invincibility and resistance. It's surprising that someone else could coordinate the effects so well.

"Our opponent doesn't seem as simple as we thought, brother."

"It seems so."

The two of them couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"But there are still ways to deal with it..."

As he spoke, Mi revealed another Spell Card.

"At the cost of sacrificing one of my [Landmine Spider] on the field, activate the Spell Card [Sacrifice Doll]."

"Since we have one less monster on the field, [E-HERO Ice Edge] will temporarily lose its sealing effect."

"Therefore, the effect of [Sacrifice Doll] will not be negated, and this effect will be used to Special Summon [Water Demon God - Ska], which is also a Level 7 card in my hand."

A tuft of hair sprouts from the illustration on the Spell Card and binds the giant spider.

Bang--!

After the Landmine Spider was smashed again, a blue monster with only legs and the character for "water" drawn on its head appeared.

[Water Demon God - Saga: Attack Power 2500]

[Mysterious Hand Cards: 6 → 4]

"This isn't over yet; this time, we'll need your help."

"It's alright, brother."

After obtaining his brother's permission, Mi placed another card from his hand onto the Duel Disk, "Offering [Emperor Kaiba] as a tribute..."

Miya continued, "[Emperor Kaiba]'s effect is that when Light Attribute monster is summoned, this monster counts as two tributes."

The fan shouted, "Summon [Thunder Dragon - Sanga]!"

Emperor Kaiba vanished from the field in an instant, followed by a bolt of lightning that brought forth a lightning monster with the character 'thunder' written on its body, consisting only of its upper body.

[Thunder Dragon - Sanga: Attack Power 2600]

[Mysterious Hand Cards: 4 → 3]

Thus, the three demon gods, Lei, Feng, and Shui, have all gathered in the Labyrinth Brothers.

Then, Misty pointed towards the direction of the Judai and shouted, "Go! [Thunder Dragon - Sanga], attack [Elemental HERO Phoenix Enforcer]!"

Sangja instantly unleashed a bolt of electricity, striking the Phoenix Man.

Bang--!

The instant the electric current struck the Phoenix Man caused an explosion.

"Although the Phoenix Clan cannot be destroyed in battle, you will still suffer more than half of the damage."

[Yusei Fudo & Asuka Tenjoin: LP 8000 → 7500]

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Perfect Cooperation

After attacking once, the monster stopped attacking. "Skaar, Special Summoned by the effect of [Sacrifice Doll], cannot attack, so I set another card face down. End of turn."

[Mysterious Hand Cards: 3 → 2]

He glanced at the eleven-star monster card in his hand, thought for a moment, and decided not to use it to tamper with his teammates.

"Okay, it's finally my turn!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3→4]

After confirming his hand, Judai placed it in his left hand and then revealed another card without hesitation.

"I'm drawing the Spell Card [Cross Attack] from my hand!"

Target two face-up monsters with the same ATK that Attack Position. This turn, one of the targeted monsters can attack your opponent directly. The other monster cannot attack.

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 4 → 3]

"Asuka and I both have [Elemental HERO Phoenix Enforcer] and [E-HERO Ice Edge] on our field with the same ATK, therefore Phoenix can launch a direct attack this turn."

The Labyrinth Brothers were immediately startled. "What?!"

As the two were still in shock, Judai waved his hand and shouted, "Go! Phoenix Man, attack Labyrinth Brother directly! Phoenix Attack!"

At his command, the phoenix-man lunged forward, swinging the claw from his right wrist at Mi's body.

"Ughhh--!"

[Labyrinth Brothers: LP8000→5900]

Fan: "Damn it!"

Gong: "Pretty capable..."

Judai smiled smugly, "Hey, our tactics aren't limited to just this..."

With that, he revealed his second Spell Card, "Next, I will activate the Continuous Spell [Emperor's Coliseum] from my hand."

As long as you have a monster on your field, your opponent cannot allow a monster that needs to be transformed into more monsters to appear on their field.

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3 → 2]

Asuka's lips curled into a slight smile. "Well done, Judai. This way, they can no longer summon monsters."

Labyrinth Brothers: You guys are too babyish!

The two brothers felt that their opponents were really too troublesome, because the teamwork between the Judai was just as good as that between the two brothers.

"It's not over yet. I'll summon [Card Guard] in Defense Position."

As Judai slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, a burst of golden light flashed across the front field, and a small guard holding a round shield was projected onto the screen.

[Card Guard: Defense 400]

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

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 0]

After he finished announcing the end, Miyako immediately drew a card from his deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Miyataka: 2→3]

Gong looked at his hand with a pained expression; he couldn't summon any monsters, and his spells and traps were sealed.

Three cards of different colors, but not a single one can be used.

There's no other way but to try and remove the seal on the effect first.

Then he pointed in Asuka's direction and shouted, "Go! [Wind Demon God - Shuga], attack [E-HERO Ice Edge]!"

Shuga immediately stepped forward and created a tornado that shot towards the direction of the Ice Blade Hand, and it looked like it was about to hit.

However, at that moment, Judai hurriedly shouted, "At this instant, the monster effect of [Card Guard] activates!"

"When a monster on your field becomes the target of an attack, you can transfer the attack to it."

"Furthermore, when this monster becomes the target of an attack, you can send up to three cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard. For each card sent to the graveyard, your DEF increases by 500."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Card Guard flashed in front of the Ice Blade Hand.

At the same time, Judai quickly threw three cards into the graveyard.

"Since three cards were sent to the graveyard, [Card Guard]'s defense increases by 1500 points."

[Card Guard: Defense 400 → 1900]

Seeing his attack blocked, Gong clicked his tongue inwardly. "But Shuga's attack power is still higher. Vanish, [Card Guard]!"

Bang--!

The Card Guard was instantly torn to pieces by the storm.

"Set one card face down, end the turn."

[Miyataka: 3→2]

Gong, who had accomplished nothing, looked apologetically to the person beside him, "I'm sorry, elder brother, I haven't been able to do anything."

Mi shook her head and replied, "It's not your fault, the opponent was just too strong."

Asuka ignored their back-and-forth banter and casually drew a card from her deck.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Asuka Tenjoin Hand Card: 3→4]

After drawing the card, she threw one card into the graveyard and revealed another card.

"By sacrificing a Spell Card, I activate [Double Spell] from my hand, selecting a Spell Card from my opponent's Graveyard and placing it on my field."

[Asuka Tenjoin Hand Card: 4→2]

Then she looked at Judai beside her, who smiled and nodded at her. She continued, "I choose Judai's graveyard for [Cross Attack] and activate its effect."

"This round, [E-HERO Ice Edge] can launch a direct attack."

Upon hearing this, the Labyrinth Brothers looked like they had a toothache.

"Not again!?"
