Chapter 230

You can target 1 monster you control to activate this effect. Reveal 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to your opponent. This turn, if you use the targeted monster as Polymerization Material, you can use a card with the same name as the monster you revealed as Polymerization Material.

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3 → 2]

"By revealing [Elemental Hero Flame Wingman], the card name of Electric Knight is treated as Flame Wingman when used as Polymerization Material."

"That completes my preparations..."

Judai immediately unleashed his Polymerization, declaring, "I'm Polymerization the Electric Man and Sparkman on the field, who are like Flame Wingman."

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]

The next moment, the two heroes transformed into two bolts of lightning and merged together, releasing a dazzling light.

"Fusion Summon! Appear now, [Elemental HERO Shining Flame Wingman]!"

A warrior clad in silver armor emerged from the light and descended before him. The newborn hero possessed a pair of enormous wings and emitted a faint glow.

[Elemental HERO Shining Flame Wingman - Attack Power 2500]

Darkness said solemnly, "Elemental HERO with 2500 attack power, is this your New King monster?"

Judai's lips curled slightly upward as he replied, "Hehe, isn't it handsome?"

"..."

Darkness ignored his naiveté.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Judai shrugged and then pointed to the glowing object in front of him, saying, "It's not just that. The attack power of Shining Flame Wingman is determined by the number of [Elemental HERO] cards in the graveyard. For each card, the attack power increases by 300 points."

"There are five in my graveyard, therefore my total attack power has increased by 1500 points."

[Elemental HERO Shining Flame Wingman- Attack Power 2500 → 4000]

"That concludes my turn."

Chapter Sixty-Four: Shining Heroes vs. Ultimate Dragon

Seeing the hero's body glowing, Asuka thought to herself, "A hero with 4000 attack power... that monster probably doesn't have a way to defeat it..."

As she was thinking this, Darkness drew a card from her deck without hesitation.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Darkness Hand Cards: 1→2]

After looking at the card he had drawn, he held it in his hand and said in a pretentious manner, "I heard you..."

Hearing this tone, Judai was a little confused. "Huh?"

"O dragon spirits slumbering in the graveyard, this is the voice you are conveying to me."

"What's going on? Why are you suddenly saying these nonsensical things?"

Judai frowned, not understanding why Darkness was suddenly showing off like this.

However, at that moment...

Hoo hoo hoo--!!

Accompanied by the roar of dragons, four fire dragons suddenly emerged from the volcanic lava, guarding Darkness behind him.

Darkness continued his boastful act, "Once again, let the scorching flames burn this land, and the Ultimate Dragon that will fulfill that wish will be awakened here."

"The Ultimate Dragon? Could it be?!"

Judai quickly came up with a card.

At the same time, Darkness put down the card he was holding in his right hand, then drew another card from his hand and slammed it onto the Duel Disk: "I summon [Legendary Black Stone] in Attack Position."

[Darkness Hand Cards: 2 → 1]

As he placed the card on the Duel Disk, the lava beneath their feet broke open, revealing a black stone egg emitting a crimson glow. It then quickly passed through the energy platform and arrived in front of Darkness.

[Legendary Black Stone: Attack Power 0]

Judai frowned upon seeing this. "The Legendary Black Stone?! If we release this card, we can summon Red-Eyes monster in our deck that is at least Level 7."

"Yes, this is the egg that hatches the Red-Eyes Egg."

Darkness Search*← Search: Ba|★∽Qilu∧" Sir Er sneered, waved his palms, and said loudly: "The special effect of [Legendary Black Stone] is activated. By offering this monster as a sacrifice, you can special summon another [Red-Eyed Black Dragon] from the deck!"

Click click click...

The stone egg's shell cracked open rapidly.

Bang--!

An explosion rang out, sending up a thick cloud of smoke.

After the smoke and dust cleared, a jet-black dragon appeared before them.

[Red-Eyes Black Dragon: Attack Power 2400]

Asuka asked worriedly, "Is it coming?"

Judai: "..."

Darkness raised his last card and said coldly, "It's not over yet. My [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] is evolving towards its ultimate form."

"I offered the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] as a sacrifice..."

The black dragon then plunged into the lava, and flames erupted once more.

"Appear, [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, flames condensed behind him, transforming into a jet-black dragon with red gems embedded in its body and no claws.

[Red-Eyes Dark Dragon: Attack Power 2400]

[Darkness Hand Cards: 1 → 0]

As the dragon appeared, the volcano suddenly erupted, and Judai and Asuka felt a strong tremor. Six fire dragons danced behind the dark dragon.

"The dragons slumbering underground will become the blood and flesh of the [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon]."

Darkness continued, "[Red-Eyes Dark Dragon]'s attack power increases by 300 points for each Dragon-type monster in our Graveyard."

"There are six in my graveyard, therefore my attack power increases by 1800 points."

[Red-Eyes Dark Dragon: Attack Power 2400 → 4200]

Asuka's expression turned grave. 'This is bad. A monster with an attack power of 4200 points, just enough to defeat Judai's Shining Flame Wingman...'

"Judai, fully comprehend the terror of darkness!"

Darkness swung his arm and commanded, "Red-Eyes Dark Dragon, attack Shining Flame Wingman! Dark Billion Flames!"

At its command, the Dark Dragon opened its mouth wide, spewing out a flame like magma, which was about to burn the Flame Wingman to ashes.

However, at that very moment, Judai hurriedly waved his arm and shouted, "This is the moment I've been waiting for! Activate the Trap Card, [Needle Worm's Nest]!"

"Using this card's effect, send the top five cards of your deck to the Graveyard."

"What?"

Before Darkness could react, Judai grabbed five cards from the top of the deck.

Five cards appeared one by one.

--[Elemental HERO Avian], [Gravekeeper's Guard], [Fusion Recovery], [Elemental HERO Clayman], [HERO Barrier].

"Due to the addition of two [Elemental HERO] to the graveyard, the attack power of the Shining Flame Wingman has increased by 600 points."

[Elemental HERO Shining Flame Wingman- Attack Power 4000 → 4600]

"Oh no!!"

Darkness immediately sensed something was wrong.

Asuka perked up. "Well done, Judai!"

At this moment, Judai waved his hand and shouted, "Fight back! Shining Flame Wingman, Shining Shot!"

Under his command, the Shining Flame Wingman immediately clenched his hands, and a large amount of light energy gathered between them. Then, a green light bullet was summoned and hurled towards the Dark Dragon. In an instant, the light bullet pushed the flames back and quickly landed on the dragon.

Boom--!!

The jet-black dragon was blasted to pieces in an instant.

"Well..."

[Darkness: LP1400→1000]

"It's not over yet!"

Judai continued, "Shining Flame Wingman's effect is the same as Flame Wingman's: when a monster is destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard, it inflicts damage equal to the original ATK of that monster."

"[Red-Eyes Dark Dragon]'s original attack power is 2400 points, therefore it deals 2400 points of damage to you."

Darkness panicked immediately. "How could this happen...?!"

At the same time, the Shining Flame Wingman flew in front of him and unleashed a blinding green light.

"Hmph! Ahh..."

The intense light power was extremely damaging to Darkness, who couldn't help but scream in agony.

[Darkness: LP1000→0]

As Darkness's health reached zero, flames suddenly erupted beneath his and Judai's feet, and Judai and Asuka briefly lost consciousness.

If anyone else were here, they would have noticed that the three figures were not burned to ashes, but rather vanished into thin air.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Vampire Attack

The scene shifts, and the volcanic lava landscape vanishes without a trace.

Judai and Asuka were teleported to the foot of the volcano, and they quickly regained consciousness.

"Are you alright, Judai?"

"Asuka?"

Judai was about to stand up, however...

"Hiss--!"

The pain shooting through his body made him gasp.

"Judai?!" Asuka quickly helped him up. "What's wrong?"

Judai waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing. I must have been burned by the Black Flame Bullet. It wasn't so bad when I was tense, but now that I've relaxed, it hurts even more. I'll just go to the infirmary and get some burn ointment to apply."

"Really? I'm glad you're alright."

Asuka immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"But this person..."

She turned her head to look at Darkness lying not far away, wondering who he was.

Just then, Judai seemed to notice something on the ground.

He bent down and picked it up; it was a card, a blank card that had appeared before his duel with Darkness.

As soon as I picked up the card, an image gradually appeared on it, depicting Darkness's mask being sealed by chains.

Asuka frowned and asked, "Is this the soul of Darkness?"

Judai nodded. "That should be it."

With Asuka's help, Judai walked to where Darkness had fallen and then turned him over.

Upon seeing this person's appearance, the two men's expressions changed drastically.

"It was him?!"

"How so?!"

The person opened their eyes and saw Asuka looking completely shocked.

"Tomorrow... fragrance..."

After saying those three words, he fainted again.
