Chapter 278
The next second, Trio Man punched the man in distress, shattering him into pieces with a bang.
"Ugh..."
[Edo Phoenix: LP8800→7200]
[Destiny HERO - Fear Man: Attack 4500 → 2500, Defense 3100 → 1100]
After eliminating the Dead Man, Trio Man immediately landed another punch on the Fear Man.
Boom--!!
That punch instantly pierced through it and shattered it into pieces.
"Ughh..."
[Edo Phoenix: LP7200→4700]
"If you hadn't activated [Negate Attack], your health would be zero by now. You've escaped with your life, Edo."
"Hateful!"
Upon hearing Judai's words, Edo clenched his fists, his face filled with resentment.
At the same time, he felt his adrenaline surge. He had encountered many powerful opponents in the World Duel League, some of which were tough battles, but none of them had made him this excited.
He was unaware that he was yearning for an unknown hero, and only regarded Judai as a worthy opponent of equal strength.
"My turn isn't over yet..." Judai then threw out another card from his hand. "Activate the Spell Card [Fusion Recovery], add [Elemental HERO Neos Alius] and [Polymerization] from my Graveyard to my hand."
"Set one more card face down, end the turn."
"At the same time, during this final phase, all monsters on the field have their attack power restored to normal."
[Phantom HERO The Three-in-One: Attack Power 5000 → 2500]
[Destiny HERO - Malicious Guy - Attack Power 2200 → 800]
[Destiny HERO - Disk Guy: Attack Power 1700 → 300]
After the Judai's turn ended, control of the game shifted to Edo.
"My turn, draw a card!"
After glancing at his hand, Edo immediately revealed it. "The Graveyard Dash Guy effect activates. During your Draw Phase, if you draw a monster, you can Special Summon it directly."
"Come on, Level 4, Defender!"
Buzz!
A flash of white light appeared on Edo's field, and a giant, seemingly made of rock, was projected to protect him.
[Destiny HERO - Defender: Defense 2700]
Manjoume: "Impossible! How could a level four monster have such high defense?!"
Asuka guessed, "This number is definitely abnormal, so that card must have some kind of Side Effect?."
At this point, Edo explained, "Because of its high defense, the Defender allows the opponent to draw an extra card during their turn when it is in Defense Position."
"It's not over yet. When your hand is empty, the Divine Person effect in the graveyard activates, banishing this card and the [Destiny HERO] monster from the graveyard, and drawing two cards from your deck."
"Except for Divine Person and followers of fear, Fallen!"
[Edo Phoenix's hand cards: 0→2]
After glancing at his two cards, he placed one of them onto the Duel Disk: "Then, I summon [Destiny HERO - Doom Lord] from my hand in Defense Position."
A soldier with a propulsion device on his back and a cannon on his right arm appeared on the field.
[Destiny HERO - Doom Lord - Defense 1000]
"Finally, change the Demon Person to Defense Position, then set aside another card, and end the turn."
[Destiny HERO - Malicious Guy Type - Defense 800]
[Edo Phoenix's hand cards: 2→0]
Edo simply strengthened his defenses and then ended his turn.
Chapter 145 (This likely refers to a specific chapter or event, possibly related to a person named E)
"It's my turn again, time to draw a card!"
"And because of the Defender's effect, I can draw another card during the preparation phase."
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 2→4]
Judai briefly glanced at his newly acquired hand, then set it aside. He then drew a card he had recycled during his previous turn and placed it on the Duel Disk: "I summon [Elemental HERO Neos Alius] in Defense Position."
Buzz!
A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and Liquid Soldier reappeared.
[Elemental HERO Neos Alius: Attack Power 1400]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 4 → 3]
"Then, based on Liquid Soldier's effect, Special Summon a Level 4 or lower [Hero] monster from the Graveyard."
"Awaken, Solidman!"
The next second, Solidman reappeared on the field.
[Elemental HERO Solidman: Attack Power 1300]
"It's not over yet! I'll activate the Spell Card [Polymerization] from my hand to Polymerization Liquid Soldier and Solidman on the field." Judai flicked his hand and shouted, "Show yourself, [Phantom HERO Adorationman]!"
The two figures overlapped, instantly transforming into a Polymerization vortex and merging into one, from which the jet-black warrior appeared.
[Phantom HERO Adorationman: Attack Power 2800]
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 3→2]
"Since Solidman was sent to the Graveyard by Spell Card, its effect is activated again."
"Come on, Shadow Mist!"
A beam of white light shot out from the entrance of the Duel Disk graveyard, instantly projecting a woman clad in black armor onto the ground.
[Elemental HERO Shadow Mist - Attack Power 1000]
Judai pointed to the woman beside him and continued, "At this moment, the special effect of Shadow Mist activates. When this card is successfully Special Summoned, add one [Change] Quick-Play Spell from your Deck to your hand."
He opened his deck, picked out a card, and immediately threw it out. "I add [Mask Change] to my hand and activate it immediately. I send the DARK Attribute Shadow Mist to the Graveyard and Special Summon one [Masked HERO] of the same Attribute."
"Henshin! Appear, [Masked HERO Dark Fiend]!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a thick black mist enveloped the woman, and then in the blink of an eye, the mist dissipated, revealing a pitch-black warrior wearing a demon mask.
[Masked HERO Dark Fiend: Attack Power 2800]
"Three heroes working together like limbs...!" Edo exclaimed, speechless. "Judai, your HERO Deck is indeed powerful, but I can't lose this duel!"
"But Edo, can you protect your monster? Don't forget, even though the Trio Man's power has returned to normal after its initial attack, it can still launch three attacks."
Judai chuckled, then added, "Furthermore, when Dark Fiend destroys an opponent's monster and sends it to the Graveyard, it can add another [Change] Quick-Play Spell to its hand. In that case, your life points are like paper against my hero."
Asuka, sitting in the audience, also analyzed, "Judai can summon Dark Claw during battle, which can prevent Edo from accumulating in the graveyard when Trio Man adds an attack, and also avoids the effect of his Last Words."
Manjoume nodded. "Then the only problem is that face-down card..."
Judai clearly noticed that card too, so he revealed another Spell Card, "Activate [Monster Reborn] to revive [Elemental HERO Avian] in the Graveyard!"
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]
Buzz!
Another flash of light appeared on the field, and Sky Scourge reappeared.
[Elemental HERO Avian: Attack Power 1800]
"Then, Sky Scourge's effect activates again, destroying your face-down card!"
Edo scoffed, "Hmph, do you think the same trick will work on me again?"
"Trap Card activated! This turn you can only attack Destruction Person!"
"Dodged another attack?!" Judai frowned. "These guys are really troublesome..."
"Then, let the battle begin!"
He waved his hand and roared, "[Masked HERO Dark Fiend] attacks [Destiny HERO - Doom Lord], Rider Kick!"
At his command, the Dark Fiend leaped high into the air and kicked at the Destruction Person, shattering him into pieces with a resounding thud.
"Due to the effect of Dark Fiend, add a second [Mask Change] from your deck to your hand and activate it, sending the Dark Fiend on the field to the graveyard."
"Henshin! Appear! [Masked HERO Dark Claw]!"
A burst of black mist then emanated from Dark Fiend's body, and he reappeared before everyone after donning armor shaped like a black panther.
[Masked HERO Dark Claw: Attack Power 2400]
"As long as Dark Claw is on the field, all cards you send to the Graveyard will be banished, and when you add a card to your hand outside of your Draw Phase, one card from your hand will be banished immediately."
Upon hearing this, Edo gritted his teeth, "They actually sealed away my graveyard and card-drawing abilities...!?"
"That concludes my turn."
Even after finding himself in a desperate situation, Edo did not despair.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Edo Phoenix hand cards: 0→1]
His shout of "Draw the card!" involuntarily grew louder, as if he were going to give it his all.
At that moment, Edo glanced at his hand, his pupils suddenly contracting. "It seems fate hasn't given up on me yet."
"Oh~, you're still not planning to give up?"
"That goes without saying..." Edo flicked his hand downwards and shouted, "The instant after I draw this card, the Destruction Person Monster Effect in my Graveyard activates. When this card is destroyed by battle, during my Standby Phase, I Special Summon one [Destiny HERO] other than myself."
"Rise, you dreadful man!"
Roar--!
The giant, covered in wounds, instantly tore through the earth and reappeared behind Edo, assuming a protective stance.
"The Fearful One's attack power is the sum of the attack power of all [Destiny HERO] on my field."
[Destiny HERO - Fear Man: Attack Power? → 1200]
"And during the turn a Fearful One is Special Summoned, my [Destiny HERO] will not be destroyed!"
"But what good is the pitiful increase in attack power that the Fear Man can provide?"
"Ha, that's not my target..."
Edo said coldly, "I'll sacrifice the three [Destiny HERO] units on the field —Disk Guy, Demon Person, and Defender Man—to Special Summon my final trump card!"
"Come, [Destiny HERO - Doctrine Man]!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light shot out from behind him. In the light, two pairs of scarlet eyes opened, and a demon with bull horns on its head and sword blades extending from its arms appeared in the sky, spreading its enormous wings.
[Destiny HERO - Doctrine Man: Attack Power 3400]
[Edo Phoenix's hand cards: 1→0]
Chapter 146 The Invincible Trio Man
Looking at the demon-like hero before him, Judai frowned slightly and said, "Due to the effect of Dark Claw, all three [Destiny HERO] who were sent to the graveyard as sacrifices are excluded. The abilities of the Disk Guy and the Demon Person can no longer be used by you."
"But that's enough. Since I only have two [Destiny HERO] left on the field, the Dreadlord's attack power is now the same as the Doctrine Man's original attack power."
[Destiny HERO - Fear Man - Attack Power 1200 → 3400]
"There are two monsters with an attack power of 3400!"
"This is bad!"
"Judai..."
