Chapter 241

Judai chuckled and replied, "Then let's destroy the Field Spell as well."

"What did you say?!"

Tania was stunned for a moment.

At that moment, Judai waved his hand and shouted, "Activate Liquid Soldier's monster effect at this instant!"

"Since this card is banished as Polymerization Material, I can draw two cards from my deck, and then discard one."

"Degeneration!!"

His eyes widened instantly when he saw the two cards.

"I got it..."

After discarding a card from his hand into the graveyard, Judai immediately revealed another Spell Card: "Quick-Play Spell [Mask Change] activated!"

"Send Absolute Zero to the Graveyard and Special Summon the Water-type [Masked HERO]."

Upon hearing this, Misawa crossed his arms and analyzed, "The water-attribute [Masked HERO] is just mist; that's not enough to deal with Tania's defenses."

"Hehe~, who said I only have one water-attribute [Masked HERO], Mistwater?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard what Judai said.

"What?!"

Just then, Absolute Zero's armor shattered.

"Henshin! Appear, [Masked HERO Acid Rain]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fragments of the warrior's armor scattered and transformed into a new form, revealing a warrior wearing dark blue armor and wielding an acid pistol.

[Masked HERO Acid Rain: Attack Power 2600]

"Let me show you the ultimate hero combination..."

"Roar~."

Tania curled her lips when she heard Judai's words, seemingly unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

At that moment, Judai waved his arm and shouted, "Absolute Zero's special ability is activated! When this card leaves the field, all monsters on your opponent's field are destroyed!"

"At the same time, due to the appearance of acid, this monster's special effect is activated!"

When this card is Special Summoned, all Spell & Trap Card on your opponent's field are destroyed, and all monsters on your opponent's field lose 300 ATK.

"Oh no!!"

Tania's pupils suddenly contracted.

Asuka exclaimed in amazement, "That's amazing! Absolute Zero destroys all of the opponent's monsters, while Acid Water destroys all of the opponent's Spell Card and Trap Card. The combination of these two effects is equivalent to destroying all the cards on the opponent's field. No wonder Judai called it the strongest combination."

Before long, Acid pulled the trigger, and the water gun instantly shot out a large amount of purple acid, spraying it at the two monsters opposite and the thatched huts of the Amazoness.

A piercing hissing sound suddenly rang out all around, and the primitive tribe was instantly corroded and dissolved by the acid.

Roar--!!

Ah--!!

Affected by the corrosive power, both Amazoness monsters were also in great pain.

[Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion: Attack power 2700 → 2200]

[Amazoness Queen: Attack power 2600 → 2100]

"Amazoness Pet Tiger-Lion--!? Amazoness Queen--!?"

Tania felt heartbroken for the current state of her people.

Seeing this, Judai smiled and continued, "I'm a kind-hearted person, and I can't bear to see you suffer like this. I'll send you on your way now."

Everyone:...

"Because of Absolute Zero's effect, both monsters were destroyed!"

The next moment, the acid covering the two Amazoness monsters froze instantly, turning them into two ice sculptures.

Click click click...

Cracks suddenly spread all over its body, and it shattered into a pile of ice and disappeared.

Judai: "Now you have no cards on your field."

Tania gritted her teeth. "But I still have 2700 health points, while the acid attack has a power of 2600. Even if I take the attack, I still have health points left."

At this moment, Judai played his last card, "I activate the Spell Card [H-Heart of Fire], Acidic Water's ATK increases by 500 points."

[Masked HERO Acid Rain: 2600→3100]

"Attack power of 3100 points?!"

Judai immediately waved his arm and gave the order, "That's it! Acid water, attack Tania directly!"

The water gun was fired again, and the acid sprayed instantly onto the opponent's body.

"Mmm..."

[Tania: LP2700→0]

Chapter 81 Ocean Duel

"What a spectacular duel!"

Clap clap clap!

Manjoume, Daidouji, Cronos, and others suddenly appeared from some corner, clapping their hands in congratulations.

Hayato: "Judai- kun is definitely the strongest!"

As the duel ended, Tania looked regretfully at Judai, who was surrounded by onlookers: 'What a pity, such a powerful man is beyond my control.'

"What a fine duel!"

"Let's go, Bass!"

He casually tossed the Seven Stars Gate Keys to Judai, and then, to Misawa's astonishment, transformed into a one-eyed white tiger.

Um... the two tigers left the arena one after the other.

My condolences! Stay strong, Misawa!

Judai patted Misawa on the shoulder in a comforting gesture. Everyone looked at Misawa with pity, who seemed on the verge of tears and utterly despondent.

And so, the third Seven Stars were also dealt with.

Since this duel was not Dark Duel, Tania did not suffer any punishment and disappeared after dropping the Dark Item.

While Judai and the others were having lunch in the dormitory cafeteria, Koala Hayato rushed out the door again.

"Oh no, Judai! A submarine has arrived on the shore, and the people who came out of it have challenged you to a duel!"

Manjoume "Lightning" asked in confusion, "A submarine? Have people from the North Academy come?"

"No, it's much bigger than that one, it might even be related to the Seven Stars!"

Judai: "Then we'll have to go check it out."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped eating and hurriedly followed Hayato outside.

Upon arriving at the dock, they discovered that the submarine in front of them was indeed much larger than the one from the North Academy, with an estimated length exceeding 100 meters.

A middle-aged man in his forties with a square face, dressed in a naval uniform, stood proudly on the submarine deck, wearing glasses that seemed disproportionate to his large face.

At that moment, he was holding a microphone and enthusiastically calling out to the students gathered on the dock, "You guys from the Duel Academy, you all look really energetic!"

However, no one could feel his enthusiasm. It seemed that there was a problem with the equipment, causing constant popping and static, and the high-frequency vibrations made everyone's heads hurt.

"Ouch--! My ears!"

"It's so noisy, what is this guy trying to do?"

As the crowd covered their ears and muttered complaints, the middle-aged man began to introduce himself, "I am Anassis, a merchant who travels the world's oceans! I have come here to challenge you to Ocean Duel!"

Towards the end, another loud noise occurred, causing everyone to hear "Ocean Duel" as "Dark Duel".

Judai: "You mean Dark Duel?"

"Right!"

"So you're the new Seven Stars assassin?"

Anassis seemed not to have heard Judai's next words, continuing to speak to himself, "I have only one goal: to seize the Three Phantom Demons Cards! For that, Yusei Fudo, I challenge you to a duel!"

"They're after the Wicked God Demons?"

"They really are from the Seven Stars Organization!"

Thus, the guardians of the key finally recognized (or misunderstood) this person's identity, and their expressions immediately turned serious.

Judging from the submarine beneath Anassis's feet, he likely possesses astonishing wealth. Money means the ability to build a top-tier deck.

As members of the Seven Stars, they possess terrifying methods and strength, coupled with top-tier, powerful card decks.

In everyone's eyes, Anassis's strength is probably unimaginable, and Judai is likely in danger this time.

If Anassis could hear their thoughts at this moment, he would surely cry out that they were wronged.

"Yusei Fudo, hop on my submarine! I'll take you to a fantastic Duel Arena where we'll settle our score!"

Upon hearing Anassis's request, Asuka quickly advised Judai, "Judai, you absolutely mustn't go on his submarine! It's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

Judai stepped forward and replied, "Thank you for your concern, but since they've specifically named me, I have no reason to refuse."

Daichi Misawa and Manjoume "Lightning", two onlookers, then approached.

"Okay, I'll go too."

"Don't be the only one showing off, I'm going too."

Asuka: "I'll go too."

And so, the group went to watch Judai's duel once again.

The group boarded the deck of the submarine before them.

The well-informed Misawa suddenly spoke up, "Anassis, that name seems familiar..."

"Wait, I remember now! That man is Anassis of the Sea Parrot, the super trader who dominates eighty percent of the world's oceans!"

Judai stroked his chin and muttered, "Is this guy really that important?"

Misawa: "This person almost never appears in public, so very few people know about this."

Upon hearing this, Judai nodded.

This information is indeed baffling to most people; it doesn't involve a duel or any hot topic relevant to daily life, so very few people are paying attention to it.

After entering the submarine, Judai and the others, led by the submarine crew, arrived at the cockpit, where Anassis was waiting for them.

Anassis turned to the side, showing the monitor screen behind him. "This is the best duel stage for you and me!"

The screen he was pointing to was projecting a suspended platform inside a sphere, which was displaying a spectacular underwater scene.

Shortly after, Judai and Anassis took their respective spots on the stage.

"Let's fight without delay!"

Anassis set up a deck on a jewel-encrusted, high-end Duel Disk.

"No need for further words, come on!"

Judai also added his deck to his Duel Disk.

"As expected of those naive young people from school, they're fearless and unafraid of the world!"

The navy officer smiled smugly.
