Chapter 240
[Elemental HERO Neos Alius: Defense 1300]
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 4 → 3]
"And due to the appearance of Liquid Soldier, this monster's special effect is activated."
When this card is successfully Summoned, you can target 1 Level 4 or lower [HERO] monster in your Graveyard other than [Elemental HERO Neos Alius]; Special Summon that monster.
"Rise, [Elemental Hero Neos Alius]!"
In the blink of an eye, the little flower bud reappeared amidst the flashing light effects.
[Elemental Hero Neos Alius: Defense 1000]
Seeing that three monsters had suddenly appeared on the opposing field, Tania said nonchalantly, "What's the use of summoning these weak monsters? Apart from the Flower Lady being able to attack, the other monsters are not worth worrying about at all."
"Is that so...?"
Judai shook his head, then inserted another card into the Duel Disk: "I activate the Spell Card [HERO Mask] from my hand."
You can target 1 face-up monster you control; send 1 [Elemental HERO] monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, and the targeted face-up monster is treated as a card with the same name as the monster sent to the Graveyard by this effect until the End Phase.
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3 → 2]
"Using this card's effect, I send [Elemental HERO Avian] from my deck to the Graveyard, and Flower Lady gains the name of this monster."
The next moment, a green-haired mask was placed on the head of the flower girl.
Chapter Seventy-Nine: Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion
They saw that the flower girl had a mask on her head and a pair of pure white wings had sprouted from her back.
Tania frowned and asked, "What's the point of changing the monster's card name?"
Judai smiled upon hearing this and replied, "Of course, we'll have to borrow the Winged HERO's power..."
As he spoke, he revealed another Spell Card: "Spell Card [Wing Scatter] activated!"
Target 1 face-up [Elemental HERO Avian] on your field to activate this effect. This turn, the targeted card can attack the same number of monsters you control. In that case, it cannot attack your opponent directly, and other monsters you control cannot attack.
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]
"What?"
Tania paused for a moment.
Misawa: "Judai has three monsters on his field."
Asuka shook hands. "Well done, now the Flower Girl can launch three attacks."
At that Judai, Judai waved his hand and gave the order, "Go! Flower Girl's attack, Wing Shot Triple Strike!"
The Flower Girl then flapped her wings and flew into the air, then flapped her wings again, and a large number of feathers turned into arrows that shot towards the pet tiger.
Aww--!
The tiger was instantly riddled with feathers, turning into a hedgehog, and with a scream, it exploded into pieces with a bang.
"Well..."
[Tania: LP2900→2700]
Judai clenched his fist and shouted, "Due to the combat damage inflicted on you, Flower Lady's attack power has increased again."
[Elemental HERO Flower Girl: Attack 2300→2500, Defense 1600→1400]
Tania: "However, due to the destruction caused by the [Amazoness] monster, once again, through the effect of the Field Spell [Amazoness Village], a [Amazoness Swords Woman] is Special Summoned."
Beside the Amazoness Swords Woman, another burst of light flashed, and the same figure appeared on the field.
[Amazoness Swords Woman: Attack Power 1500 → 1700]
"And since the [Amazoness Swords Woman] takes damage from the battle while the opponent does, are you still going to attack?"
Judai shrugged and chuckled, "Is that even a question? Destroying all the monsters on your field would be far more sensible than dealing this little bit of damage."
"Go, Flower Maiden, attack the two Amazoness Swords Woman! Wing Shot!"
The Flower Girl, flying overhead, flapped her wings again, sending a barrage of arrows flying over Tania's front. Seeing this, the two muscular female swordsmen quickly threw their scimitars at Judai.
Bang bang--!!
The two Amazoness swordsmen exploded with a loud thud as they were pierced by the Feather Arrow, while two curved swords simultaneously pierced through Judai's body.
"Well..."
Judai gritted his teeth.
[Yusei Fudo: LP4000→2400]
"Wow, Judai is so manly!"
The Judai still couldn't match Tania's performance.
Asuka, however, gave a deadpan look. "Here we go again..."
She felt uncomfortable seeing Tania's awkward and timid demeanor all the time.
Tania quickly regained her composure and said with satisfaction, "You did something interesting. That's how duels should be."
Then she abruptly ended Judai's turn and drew a card from her deck.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Tania's hand cards: 2→3]
After glancing at her hand, she immediately revealed it. "I activate [Pot of Greed] from my hand, drawing two more cards from my deck."
[Tania's hand: 3→4]
"Then, I summon [Amazoness Fighter] from my hand in Attack Position."
As she slammed a card onto the Duel Disk, a golden light flashed across the arena, and an Amazoness fighter with a thick right arm was projected onto the screen.
"Due to the effect of [Amazoness Village], attack power increases by 200 points."
[Amazoness Fighter: Attack Power 1500 → 1700]
[Tania's hand: 4 → 3]
She then flicked her hand, and the face-down card beneath her feet opened. "I'm activating another Trap Card, [Amazoness Reincarnation]!"
Destroy all face-up [Amazoness] monsters you control. Then, you can Special Summon up to the same number of Level 4 or lower [Amazoness] monsters in your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position.
With a bang, the Amazoness Fighter was blown to pieces.
"Revive, [Amazoness Pet Tiger]!"
The big tiger named 'Bass' reappeared on the field.
[Amazoness Pet Tiger: Defense 1500]
"It's not over yet..."
Tania then picked up two more cards from her hand and revealed them. "Activate the Spell Card [Polymerization], Polymerization [Amazoness Pet Tiger] on the field with [Amazoness Queen] in my hand."
An Amazoness Queen, wearing an eye patch and carrying a large sword, appeared beside the pet tiger and Polymerization with it into a vortex, releasing a dazzling light.
"Appear, [Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion]!"
The next moment, the light faded, and the pet tiger 'Bas', which had evolved to have the characteristics of a male lion, appeared on the field.
[Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion: Attack power 2500→2700]
[Tania's hand: 3 → 1]
Upon seeing this, Judai frowned. "It's actually an [Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion]..."
"This monster inherits the effect of [Amazoness Pet Tiger]: it cannot attack other [Amazoness] monsters as long as it is on the field."
"That's right."
Then Tania played another card, "Finally, I activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn] to Special Summon [Amazoness Queen] from my Graveyard in Attack Position."
As the card's effect took effect, a white light flashed across the field, and the Amazoness Queen, who had just been sent to the Graveyard as Polymerization Material, reappeared before our eyes.
[Amazoness Queen: Attack power 2400 → 2600]
[Tania's hand cards: 1→0]
After making preparations, she launched her attack without hesitation, "Here we go! First, use [Amazoness Queen] to attack [Elemental HERO Neos Alius]!"
However, at that moment, Judai shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, as long as Flower Lady is on the field, you cannot choose other monsters as your attack target."
Tania chuckled upon hearing this, "Hmph~, the same effect as my pet tiger...?"
"Then I'll use [Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion] to attack [Elemental HERO Flower Girl] first, go!"
At her command, the pet tiger and lion immediately ran and charged forward.
"Attack power increases by 500 points only when this card attacks."
[Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion: Attack power 2700 → 3200]
The pet tiger and lion pounced on the woman with flowers, slapping her hard with their paws.
Ah--!
With a bang, the flower girl was instantly smashed to pieces.
[Yusei Fudo: LP2400→1700]
Chapter Eighty Acid Water
"After the attack, the [Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion]'s attack power returns to normal."
[Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion: Attack power 3200 → 2700]
"But my battle isn't over yet. Now that the Flower Girl has disappeared from the field, I can use [Amazoness Queen] to attack [Elemental HERO Neos Alius] again. Go!"
At Tania's command, the Amazoness Queen raised her greatsword and leaped high into the air, cleaving the Liquid Soldier in two with a single blow.
Boom--!!
Liquid Soldier exploded into pieces.
Judai gritted his teeth. "But Liquid Soldier is in Defense Position Mode, so I won't take damage from combat."
Tania smiled confidently, "Then at this very moment, I will activate the other ability of [Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion]."
After damage calculation for attacks by your [Amazoness] monsters against your opponent's monsters, you can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls. That monster loses 800 ATK.
[Elemental Hero Neos Alius - Attack Power 600 → 0]
Asuka couldn't help but worry about Judai: "Little Flower Bud has the effect of directly attacking the player. If its attack power drops to zero, Judai won't be able to launch an attack."
Misawa blushed and continued, "It's not just that. As long as [Amazoness Queen] is on the field, [Amazoness] monsters won't be destroyed by battle. Plus, with the effect of [Amazoness Village], Tania's defense is as solid as an iron wall. That's her powerful wisdom. Unless a miracle happens, Judai will have a hard time defeating her."
But Judai has always been a man of miracles, so this little difficulty is no match for him.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1→2]
After drawing the card, Judai didn't hesitate to play it. "I activate the Spell Card [Miracle Fusion] from my hand!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]
"Summon one [Elemental HERO] Fusion Monster, excluding Flower Lady and Liquid Soldier from your own graveyard."
The two heroes who had just disappeared reappeared, then transformed into two energies that merged into one, releasing a dazzling light.
"Fusion Summon! Appear now, [Elemental HERO Absolute Zero]!"
As the light faded, a pure white warrior, imbued with the power of extreme cold, descended onto the field.
[Elemental HERO Absolute Zero: Attack Power 2500]
Seeing the hero enter the field, Asuka shook hands and said excitedly, "Excellent! Judai's ace monster has appeared! As long as we activate Absolute Zero's effect, all the monsters on Tania's field will be destroyed."
Misawa: "But how will Judai deal with the effect of [Amazoness Village]? Once the [Amazoness] monster is destroyed, a new [Amazoness] monster can be summoned."
