Chapter 222
Forest HERO immediately leaped forward, while Ojama King, having recovered, reached out and slapped down the enemy.
Bang--!!
The Forest HERO, who was being filmed, was instantly pulverized.
[Yusei Fudo: LP3700→2700]
Judai then continued, "Since one more [Elemental HERO] monster has been added to the Graveyard, Flash Phoenix's attack power has been further increased!"
[Elemental HERO Flame Phoenix- Attack Power 2700 → 3000]
Chapter 52 Parallel World Fusion
'Even at the cost of health, don't increase attack power, this guy's a real pain...'
Manjoume clenched his fist.
Ignoring his ugly expression, Judai continued, "Battle continues! [Elemental HERO Flame Phoenix] attacks [Ojama King]! Shining Phoenix!"
Drink--!!
The Flash Phoenix leaped forward again.
It crashed into the Ojama King and quickly pierced through its massive body.
Boom--!!
The Ojama King, having lost its balance, exploded instantly.
"Well..."
Judai continued, "Since the Flash Phoenix cannot be destroyed in battle, only the Ojama King was eliminated!"
"And because you do not have any [Disruption] monsters on your field, the effect of [Ojama Country] is no longer active, and the ATK of monsters on your field is restored to normal."
[Armed Dragon LV7: Attack 1000 → 2800, Defense 2800 → 1000]
[Elemental HERO Flame Phoenix- Attack 3000 → 3400, Defense 2500 → 2100]
After finishing, he inserted a card into the Duel Disk: "Finally, I'll set one card face down, end of turn."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]
"At the same time, my [Elemental HERO Thunder Giant], which was banished by [Paradox Fusion] two turns ago, returns to the field in Attack Position."
A flash of white light, and the figure of the Thunder Giant reappeared on Judai's field.
[Elemental HERO Thunder Giant: Attack Power 2400]
Now the pressure is on Manjoume again. He only has a Level 5 Armored Dragon, and the Level 7 Armored Dragon is simply not enough to defeat the Flash Phoenix.
However, he still has a trump card; whether he can completely change the situation depends on the next card draw.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Manjoume "Lightning" Hand Cards: 1→2]
After looking at the hand he had drawn, Manjoume's eyes widened instantly: 'It's here!'
He looked up, revealed the card in his hand, and said, "I activate the Spell Card [Soul Release] from my hand, banishing a total of five cards from both players' graveyards."
[Manjoume "Lightning" Hand Cards: 2 → 1]
"I'm excluding [Disruption Yellow], [Disruption Green], and [Disruption Black] from my own graveyard, and [Elemental HERO Bubbleman] and [Elemental HERO Forest HERO] from yours."
"Because two [Elemental HERO] monsters left the graveyard, the Flash Phoenix's attack power has decreased by 600 points."
[Elemental HERO Flame Phoenix- Attack Power 3400 → 2800]
Judai shook his head slightly and smiled, "Even with the reduced attack power of the Flash Phoenix, Armored Dragon still can't defeat it."
"Then I'll gamble on the next gacha pull..."
As he spoke, Manjoume took out a card from the cemetery.
"I activated another effect of [Ojama Country] from the graveyard."
During your Main Phase, you can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 3 of your banished [Disruption] monsters; shuffle those monsters into your Deck. After that, draw 1 card from your Deck.
He put the three disruptive monsters back into the deck, shuffled the deck, and then drew a card from the top.
"Degeneration!!"
[Manjoume "Lightning" Hand Cards: 1→2]
After glancing at his hand, he inserted it into the Duel Disk without hesitation. "I activate the Spell Card [Monster Reincarnation], sacrificing one card from my hand to return a monster from my Graveyard to my hand."
"I discard the [Armed Dragon LV5] from my hand and reclaim [Despair from the Dark] from the graveyard."
[Manjoume "Lightning" Hand Cards: 2 → 1]
Misawa: "This is bad. [Despair from the Dark] has an attack power of 2800 points, which is exactly within the range of the attack power of the Flash Phoenix and the Thunder Giant."
Asuka frowned. "If it's destroyed by the effect of [Armed Dragon LV7], Judai will have no monsters left on the field. And Judai still has 2700 life points. One hit from [Armed Dragon LV7] will decide the outcome."
Without hesitation, Manjoume placed the card in the graveyard. "[Armed Dragon LV7]'s special effect activated! By discarding [Despair from the Dark] from my hand, destroy all monsters on your opponent's field with 2800 or less ATK!"
[Manjoume "Lightning" Hand Card: 1 → 0]
"Annihilation Light Wheel, fire!"
The three rows of blades on the Armored Dragon's belly spun wildly like chainsaws, and three rapidly spinning light blades shot out again and again.
This time, the effect struck the Flash Phoenix Thunder Giant without any obstruction, causing a violent explosion.
Boom--!!
The two heroes were instantly reduced to dust in the flames.
When the smoke cleared, there were no monsters left on Judai's field.
"Hehehe, hahahaha! Finally, finally we're going to win!"
"Judai, before you embarrass yourself on TV, I now acknowledge your withdrawal, hahahahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Principal Samejima said unwillingly, "Forfeit? How could Judai do such a thing?"
Asuka clenched her hands, a little nervous. "Judai..."
Just as everyone was worried about him, Judai laughed and said, "Heh, don't joke around. Why would I forfeit?"
With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Open the face-down card! Continuous Trap [Call of the Haunted], Special Summon [Elemental HERO Clayman] from the Graveyard in Attack Position!"
Buzz--!!
A flash of golden light, Clayman reappeared on his field.
[Elemental HERO Clayman: Attack Power 800]
Seeing Judai summon a monster again, Manjoume clicked his tongue in displeasure. "Tch, what a persistent bastard."
"Then [Armed Dragon LV7] attacks [Elemental HERO Clayman], Armed Impact!"
At his command, the dragon raised its claws once more and swiftly struck the Clayman.
Bang--!!
The Clayman was instantly shattered into pieces by this blow.
"Ugh..."
[Yusei Fudo: LP2700→700]
Manjoume sneered, "Now your monster has been destroyed again. You are no match for Armored Dragon."
"That's hard to say."
"What?"
Judai smiled confidently, "My deck still holds many sleeping heroes; there are plenty of ways to defeat it."
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1→2]
Looking at his hand, his smile widened, "Let's go! I summon [Guardian Dragon Magician] in Attack Position!"
As he slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, a burst of light flashed across the field, and a dragonman wielding a spear and clad in cyan armor was summoned onto the field.
[Guardian Dragon Magician: Attack Power 1800]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]
"Due to the monster effect of [Guardian Dragon Magician] upon its entry into the field, one [Polymerization] Normal Spell Card is added to the hand from the deck by discarding one card from the hand."
"My choice is [Parallel World Fusion]!"
Chapter Fifty-Three: The Duel Tournament Ends
Upon hearing the card that Judai had retrieved, Manjoume's smile remained undiminished, and he scoffed, "Foolish! You can't perform Polymerization with just one card."
Who said that?
"Ha?!"
Manjoume's smile froze instantly.
Judai chuckled lightly, "Have you forgotten the effects of [Miracle Fusion]?"
"Could it be that [Parallel World Fusion] also has a similar effect...!?"
"That's right!"
Judai then immediately played the card in his hand. "Spell Card [Parallel World Fusion] Activated!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1 → 0]
"Using this card's effect, return the banished Polymerization Materials to your Deck and Fusion Summon one [Elemental HERO] monster."
Upon hearing this, Manjoume Zhangmu's pupils suddenly contracted.
"They actually used excluded monsters for Polymerization?!"
"Go, Manjoume!"
Judai placed the two cards back into the deck, saying, "The Polymerization condition is a [Elemental HERO] monster plus EARTH Attribute monster. I'm returning [Elemental HERO Bubbleman] and [Elemental HERO Forest HERO] to my deck for Polymerization."
The next moment, Bubbleman and Forest HERO appeared on his field at the same time, and quickly transformed into two energies that combined to release a dazzling light.
"Fusion Summon! Appear, [Elemental HERO Gaia]!"
As soon as he finished speaking, light poured into the earth, which instantly cracked open, revealing a jet-black steel warrior.
[Elemental HERO Gaia: Attack Power 2200]
He then flicked his hand and shouted, "With the arrival of Elemental Hero, its special effect is activated!"
If this card is successfully Fusion Summon, target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. Until the end of this turn, that monster's ATK is halved, and this card gains ATK by that amount.
"What did you say?!"
Manjoume's expression changed drastically; he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Judai continued, "Under the effect of Elemental Hero, Armored Dragon's attack power drops to 1400 points, while Elemental Hero's attack power increases to 3600 points."
[Armed Dragon LV7: Attack Power 2800 → 1400]
[Elemental HERO Gaia: Attack Power 2200 → 3600]
"Attack power of 3600 points?!"
The director realized something was wrong and quickly turned off the cameras.
With a wave Judai his hand, Judai shouted, "Go! [Guardian Dragon Magician] attack [Armed Dragon LV7]!"
The Guardian Dragon Magician obeyed the command and immediately hurled his spear, which instantly pierced the Armored Dragon.
Bang--!!
The Armored Dragon, pierced by the attack, instantly turned to dust.
"Ugh..."
[Manjoume "Lightning": LP 3000 → 2600]
