Chapter 216
[Elemental HERO Sparkman - Attack Power 1100]
He then revealed a Spell Card from his hand. "Next, I target Ocean HERO as an effect card and activate the Quick-Play Spell [Mask Change] from my hand to Special Light Attribute [Masked HERO Saber], a LIGHT card."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 5 → 3]
Since Polymerization doesn't work, he'll try another method.
However, at that moment, Misawa waved his arm again and shouted, "It's no use! Activate the second [Seal of the Wicked]! By discarding a Spell Card, negate the effect of [Mask Change] and prevent it from being used in this duel!"
[Daichi Misawa hand cards: 2 → 1]
"What?!"
Even the effects of the Mask Change were blocked.
Judai gritted his teeth. "You're something else, you've managed to counter both of my core cards..."
"But then you won't have any cover cards on the field."
So he swung his hand and commanded, "Battle begins! [Elemental HERO Sparkman] attack [Mathematician]!"
At his command, Strike channeled the electricity from his body to his metal glove and released it.
Sizzle sizzle--!!
The mathematician was instantly scorched by the electric current.
Bang!
As the monster exploded, Misawa quickly said, "Since [Mathematician] was destroyed in battle, its special effect is activated, draw one card from the deck."
[Daichi Misawa Hand Cards: 1→2]
The two [Seal of the Wicked] cards caused Misawa to lose a lot of cards, so he needs to replenish his hand.
At this moment, Judai inserts another card into the Duel Disk: "Finally, set one card face down. End of turn."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3 → 2]
Seeing that Judai could do nothing and the turn ended, Misawa chuckled, "As expected, sealing those two Spell Card was the best decision I ever made."
"..."
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Daichi Misawa hand cards: 2→3]
After drawing the card, he immediately placed it on the Duel Disk: "I summon [Hydrogen Dragon] in Attack Position."
The next second, a jet of muddy water gushed out from beneath his feet, and then the muddy water transformed into a dinosaur with four legs on the ground.
[Hydrogen Dragon: Attack Power 1600]
[Daichi Misawa hand: 3 → 2]
"Then switch [Diamond Dragon] to Attack Position."
[Diamond Dragon: Attack Power 2100]
Immediately afterward, Misawa clenched his fist and commanded, "Battle begins! [Hydrogen Dragon] attack [Elemental HERO Sparkman]!"
Hydrogen Dragon then opened its mouth wide, and a jet of muddy water shot out, instantly engulfing Lightning Man.
Bang--!
The lightning bolt was instantly pulverized by the water jet.
"Well..."
[Yusei Fudo: LP4000→3500]
Misawa continued, "[Hydrogen Dragon]'s special effect activates: when this monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can Special Summon another [Hydrogen Dragon] from your Deck."
Splash splash splash...
Beside the Hydrogen Dragon, another column of muddy water gushed out and quickly transformed into the shape of a dinosaur.
[Hydrogen Dragon: Attack Power 1600]
"Because this monster was summoned during the battle, I can use it to launch additional attacks."
"Go! [Hydrogen Dragon] and [Diamond Dragon], attack Judai directly!"
If Jaden takes all 3700 points of damage, Judai will lose.
But he certainly wouldn't let him succeed.
Judai quickly pressed the button to face down the card, "At this moment, activate the Trap Card, [Fusion Copy]!"
Chapter Forty-Three: The Elemental's Blessing
"By using the effect of [Fusion Copy], banish [Polymerization] from your Graveyard and gain that card's effect."
Judai revealed his two cards, saying, "I'm Polymerization [Elemental HERO Neos Alius] and [Elemental HERO Bubbleman] from my hand."
With a flash of golden light, two water-colored warriors appeared on the field, merging into one into a Polymerization and releasing a dazzling radiance.
"Fusion Summon! Appear now, [Elemental HERO Absolute Zero]!"
As the light faded, a pure white warrior draped in a white cloak descended, accompanied by gusts of frigid wind.
[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero: Attack Power 2500]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 0]
Seeing this, Misawa gritted his teeth. "Even with [Polymerization] sealed, you can still summon such a powerful ace monster as Absolute Zero. You truly live up to your reputation, Judai."
"However, such methods are ultimately limited. Indeed, there are many cards in your deck that I haven't anticipated, but a single Fusion Monster cannot defeat a deck that I have calculated extensively."
Upon hearing this, Judai smiled and said softly, "Is that so... Then I'll use methods you can't anticipate to win you over."
"Absolute Zero's monster effect is that when there is a Water-type monster other than Absolute Zero on the field, this monster's ATK increases by 500 points for each monster on the field."
[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero: Attack Power 2500 → 3500]
Seeing the monster's attack suddenly increase, Misawa's pupils contracted. "Its attack power has increased to 3500 points?!"
"It's not just that..."
Judai continued, "[Elemental HERO Avian]'s monster effect activated!"
This card can be used as Fusion Summon Material for a [HEAL] Fusion Monster. It can be activated if the card is sent to the Graveyard or banished. Draw 2 cards from your Deck, then discard 1 card from your hand.
After glancing at his two cards, he threw one of them into the graveyard without hesitation.
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 0→1]
Misawa looked at his hand but had no other options, so he could only end his turn.
"My turn! Draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1→2]
After drawing the card, Judai first inserted another card into the Duel Disk: "Activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn], Special Summon [Elemental HERO Sparkman] from the Graveyard in Defense Position."
Buzz--!!
A flash of golden light, and the figure of the Lightning Warrior reappeared on the field.
[Elemental HERO Sparkman - Defense 1600]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]
He immediately launched an attack. "Battle begins! Absolute Zero attacks Diamond Dragon!"
At his command, Absolute Zero raised his hands, condensing countless ice crystals around them, and then shot them all towards the Diamond Dragon.
Boom--!!
Countless ice crystals struck the Diamond Dragon, causing a powerful explosion that instantly shattered it into dust.
"Hmm, Diamond Dragon..."
[Daichi Misawa: LP4000→2600]
"Finally, set one card face down. End of turn."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1 → 0]
"How about that, Misawa? Even if you've targeted my deck, I can still control the course of the duel!"
As soon as Judai finished speaking, Misawa chuckled and replied, "Indeed, your HERO Deck is very strong, but even if I go all out, my chances of winning are still quite high."
"Our battle has only just begun!"
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Daichi Misawa hand cards: 2→3]
After glancing at his hand, Misawa placed the card in his left hand and then slammed the other card onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [Oxygen Dragon] in Attack Position."
A green tornado suddenly rose beneath his feet, then condensed and transformed into the shape of a flying dragon.
[Oxygen Dragon: Attack Power 1800]
[Daichi Misawa hand: 3 → 2]
"Have they arrived...?"
Looking at the two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms opposite him, Judai knew what Misawa was going to do.
The latter then drew another card from his hand. "Now I have the complete set. I will activate the Spell Card [Chemical Combination - H2O] from my hand!"
[Daichi Misawa hand cards: 2 → 1]
"Offer two [Hydrogen Dragon] and one [Oxygen Dragon] as sacrifices to create a chemical reaction between the two hydrogens and one oxygen, producing water, and then Special Summon a [Water Dragon]!"
It looked like the three monsters were about to undergo a chemical reaction and combine together.
However, the next moment, Judai immediately swung his arm and shouted, "Don't even think about succeeding! At this very moment, activate the counter-trap, [Elemental's Blessing]!"
When a Spell/ Trap Card is activated, you can banish 1 face-up Elemental HERO monster you control until the End Phase of this turn; negate that activation and destroy it.
As the Trap Card was activated, a blizzard instantly swept around Absolute Zero, obscuring his figure.
"Not good!!"
Seeing his Spell Card erased, Misawa immediately sensed something was wrong.
Judai clenched his fist excitedly. "It's not over yet! Because of the effect when Absolute Zero left the field, all the monsters on the opponent's field were destroyed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blizzard rapidly expanded, covering all the monsters on the Misawa.
Click click click...
The three monsters were quickly frozen into three ice sculptures by the absolute zero cold.
Bang bang bang--!
The next second, the three ice sculptures shattered into countless ice crystals.
When the field suddenly became completely empty, cold sweat broke out on Misawa's face.
"The destructive power to turn the tide in an instant—what a terrifying monster!"
He clenched his fist, then continued, "But I won't give up like this..."
As he spoke, he played the card he had drawn that round.
"I activate the Spell Card [Gifts of the Angels] from my hand, draw three cards from my deck, and then discard two cards from my hand."
After glancing at the three cards he had drawn, his eyes widened: 'They're here!'
After glancing at the other side, he threw two of them into the graveyard.
Then, revealing the card he had left behind, he shouted, "I activate the monster effect of [Deuterium Dragon] from my hand!"
You can activate this effect by discarding this card from your hand during your Main Phase. Add 1 [Chemical Combination] Spell/ Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.
After putting the card into the graveyard, he continued, "I added the Trap Card [Chemical Combination - DHO] from my deck to my hand and then placed it face down on the field."
[Daichi Misawa's hand: 1 → 0]
"That concludes my turn."
