Chapter 211

If you control [Chimera the Mythical Beast], when a monster on your opponent's field activates its effect, you can banish this card from the field or Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate that effect.

"Large sacs?!"

Judai's pupils contracted; this sudden turn of events had caught him off guard and disrupted his original plans.

Bang--!

At the same time, the Mirror Sword Knight on Kagurazaka self-destructed, blasting into pieces.

There was no other way, Judai had to think of other methods first.

After glancing at his hand, he immediately played the Polymerization Spell Card: "Spell Card [Polymerization] activated. Polymerization condition: [Elemental HERO] monster plus a WIND monster. I will use Nova Lord and Sky Scourge on the field as materials to Polymerization."

The Nova Lord and Sky Scourge on the field instantly transformed into two energies, merging into one and releasing a dazzling light.

"Fusion Summon! Appear now, [Elemental HERO Tempest]!"

As the light faded, a storm suddenly swept across the Judai, and a green-yellow figure wearing a black cloak appeared.

[Elemental HERO Tempest - Attack Power 2800]

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]

He then swung his hand and shouted, "Due to the arrival of [Elemental HERO Tempest], this card's special effect is activated!"

If this card is successfully Fusion Summon, activate this effect: All monsters on your opponent's field have their ATK and DEF halved.

The giant tornado hero raised his right hand, and a gust of wind swept around him.

All the monsters on Kagurazaka Island within the storm's radius were suppressed.

[Gorgon the Mythical Beast): Attack Power 3600 → 1800]

[Fantasy Beast Chimera: Attack Power 3700 → 1850]

[Bewitching Magician: Attack Power 2500 → 1250]

Asuka: "Great! Now Judai's monsters on the field are taller than the opponent's."

Misawa, standing to the side, remained grave. "It's useless. Fighting the Fantasy Beast monsters not only fails to destroy them, but also exposes us to their troublesome abilities."

At this point, Judai couldn't care less about anything else.

Without knowing the effect, he had to test it out little by little.

So he waved his arm and commanded, "Battle begins! [Elemental HERO Tempest] attack [Gorgon the Mythical Beast]!"

Deal with this known monster first, because we don't know if the other two monsters will set traps.

Just then, Kagurazaka crossed his arms and said casually, "Do you think an attack of this level will be effective?"

"[The Bewitching Magician's] special ability activated!"

Once per turn, at the start of the Damage Step when a monster other than this card attacks: Destroy 1 card on the field.

"What?!"

Judai was immediately shocked.

The next moment, the illusion magician waved his hands, and a complex red light array instantly appeared above his head.

Then a bolt of lightning shot out from the magic circle above its head, striking the approaching Tornado Warrior.

Boom--!!

The giant tornado was instantly blasted to ashes.

"Was my cleverness backfire...?"

Judai gritted his teeth. "But you won't be able to stop the next attack."

"The battle continues! [Masked HERO Kamaitachi] attacks [Gorgon the Mythical Beast]! Rider Kick!"

Kamikaze brought his legs together and kicked at the Rock Lizard with incredible speed.

Boom--!!

Without any other obstacles, the Rock Lizard was instantly kicked to pieces by Kamikaze.

"Well..."

[Kagurazaka: LP 2700→1800]

Immediately afterward, Judai shouted, "At this moment, another effect of Kamikaze activates: when this monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, you draw another card from your Deck."

"Degeneration!!"

He forcefully drew a card from his deck, glanced at it, and then played it without thinking.

"Quick-Play Spell [Form Change] activated!"

You can target 1 [HEAL] Fusion Monster you control; return that monster to your Extra Deck, and Special Summon 1 [Masked HERO] Monster with the same Level but a different Name from that monster as a [Mask Change] Special Summon from your Extra Deck.

"I will recycle Kamikaze into my Extra Deck and summon a brand new [Masked HERO]."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a beam of light shot up from beneath Kamikaze's feet, obscuring his figure.

"Show yourself, [Masked HERO Saber]!"

As the light faded, Kamikaze's figure disappeared, Masked HERO's armor transformed into a suit of golden armor, with two sharp fangs protruding from his arm guards.

[Masked HERO Saber: Attack Power 2500]

After the new hero entered the field, Judai continued, "Kouga's monster effect: For each monster your opponent controls, that monster gains 500 ATK."

"Kagurazaka, you have two monsters on your field, therefore your ATK increases by 1000."

[Masked HERO Saber: Attack Power 2500 → 3500]

Kagurazaka frowned deeply. "The attack power is a whopping 3500 points..."

Misawa: "Impressive. Monsters summoned during battle can continue to attack. Although the monsters of the Fantasy Beast are not destroyed by battle, the damage still needs to be calculated."

Asuka exclaimed excitedly, "And Kagurazaka only has 1800 HP right now. If [The Bewitching Magician] gets hit by this attack, Judai will win!"

Without further hesitation, Judai pointed at the warrior in front of him and shouted, "Go! [Masked HERO Saber], attack [Bewitching Magician]!"

At his command, Guangya brought his hands together, and a large amount of light energy gathered between his two fangs.

The next second, the energy transformed into a beam of light and shot towards the opponent, about to hit the Illusion Magician.

However, at that moment, Kagurazaka revealed the card in his hand and said, "I activate this monster's effect, Kuriboh!"

Curry Curry~~

With a cute cry, Kuriboh appeared in front of the magician in a flash, taking the brunt of the beam of light in its place.

Bang--!

"What..."

Chapter Thirty-Six: Absolute Zero

Judai was stunned for a moment when he saw his attack blocked.

At this moment, Kagurazaka, while putting the card in his hand into the graveyard, explained, "By discarding [Kuriboh] from my hand, I can reduce the damage of one battle to zero."

[Kagurazaka hand cards: 1→0]

"Furthermore, when fighting against monsters from the Fantasy Beast race, neither side's monsters will be destroyed in the battle."

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at his grave. "Thanks, Kuriboh."

"As expected of the monster I chose from thousands, you've saved me so many times!"

"..."

Kuriboh sweating: Curry, Curry (Who are you?)

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Judai was speechless. "You're getting a little too into character, aren't you? Even if you're going to act, don't actually think of yourself as the King of Games!"

Moreover, it doesn't really resemble modern Yugi; it's more like Pharaoh.

Kagurazaka ignored what the other person said and continued acting on her own, "Kuriboh, I won't waste the opportunity you've given me."

He then pointed to the magician beside him and shouted, "[The Bewitching Magician]'s other ability activated!"

This effect can only be activated at the end of the Damage Step when this card battles an opponent's monster. Gain control of that opponent's monster.

"Oh no!!"

Before Judai could react, Koga had already moved to the other side.

"Now you have no monsters on your field, and Light Fang's attack power is restored to normal."

[Masked HERO Saber: Attack Power 3500 → 2500]

Judai broke out in a cold sweat. "So strong, no wonder it's a Yugi -style deck..."

Kagurazaka: "Hehehe, a duelist of your caliber is a thousand years away from defeating me."

"Heh heh, you're clearly using someone else's deck, and you really dare to say that!"

After saying that, Judai revealed the remaining card in his hand.

"My turn is not over yet. I activate the Spell Card [Hero's Legacy] from my hand."

You can activate this effect by returning 2 Fusion Monster that require [HERO] Monsters as Polymerization Material from your Graveyard to your Extra Deck. Draw 3 cards from your Deck.

"I'll recycle [Elemental HERO Nova Lord] and [Elemental HERO Tempest] from my graveyard, and then draw three cards from my deck."

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1→3]

After glancing at his three cards, he inserted one into the Duel Disk without hesitation. "Finally, one more card face down. End of turn."

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 3→2]

Misawa: "This is bad. Judai is now on the defensive. With only one face-down card, it's not enough to stop Kagurazaka's offensive."

At this moment, Kagurazaka said calmly, "It seems you've run out of options..."

"My turn!"

[Kagurazaka hand cards: 0→1]

After confirming his hand, he casually inserted it into the Duel Disk: "I activate Quick-Play Spell [Mystical Space Typhoon], destroying one Spell Card or Trap Card on the field."

"That way, I've destroyed your faceplate."

[Kagurazaka hand cards: 1→0]

As the card took effect, a gust of wind suddenly swept across the field, engulfing Judai.

Seeing this, the latter quickly pressed the button to face down and shouted, "Don't even think about it! Open face down, activate the Quick-Play Spell [Kuriboh's Call Flute]!"

Special Summon [Winged Kuriboh] from your Deck in Defense Position.

As soon as he finished speaking, the storm on the field stopped, and then a golden light suddenly appeared in front of Judai, projecting Kuriboh with wings on its back.

[Winged Kuriboh: Defense 200]

Curry Curry~~

Looking at this adorable creature, Kagurazaka clicked her tongue inwardly. "Winged Kuriboh... what a persistent little devil..."

"However, because you have an extra monster on your field, Lightfang's attack power increases by 500 points."

[Masked HERO Saber: Attack Power 2500 → 3000]

Then he flicked his arm and commanded, "Go! [Masked HERO Saber], attack [Winged Kuriboh]!"

At his command, Koga lunged forward, his sharp fangs instantly piercing towards Winged Kuriboh.

Curry Curry~~

Bang--!

The Winged Kuriboh was pierced instantly.

Seeing this, Judai quickly said, "The turn [Winged Kuriboh] is destroyed, all battle damage I receive becomes zero."

[Masked HERO Saber: Attack Power 3000 → 2500]
