Chapter 316

The next second, the emerald on the back of the jade turtle suddenly shot out a large number of stone arrows, Bladedge had drawn the gun and exploded into dust with a bang.

"Hmm...!"

[Yusei Fudo: LP3800→2800]

"You're quite capable, John."

John grinned smugly. "Hey, I'm pretty strong, right?"

"It's really not bad."

"It's not over yet..." John placed another card into the Spell & Trap Zone. "I'll bury one more card, end of turn."

[John Anderson's hand cards: 3→2]

As he announced the end of his turn, Judai hurriedly shouted, "At the moment your turn ends, activate the Trap Card [Ceasefire Reinforcement] to Special Summon one Level 2 or lower Warrior-type monster from your Deck!"

"Come on, [Cross Porter]!"

The next moment, a golden light flashed across the Judai, and a warrior wearing thick crimson armor appeared beside him.

[Cross Porter: Defense 400]

"A card I've never seen before..." John swallowed nervously upon seeing this.

At this point, control of the game once again shifted to the Judai.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 2→3]

After drawing the card, Judai didn't rush to check his hand. Instead, he said, "During this preparation phase, the other effect of 'Bladedge from the Graveyard' activates!"

If this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect during the next Standby Phase. Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. If this card Special Summoned by this effect leaves the field, banish it.

A beam of white light shot out from the graveyard opening on the Duel Disk, and the figure of the Bladedge reappeared.

[Destiny HERO Bladedge- Attack Power 1600]

"And once again, the special effect of the Bladedge is activated: when this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a [Hero] monster, both players draw one card from their Deck. This effect includes the Gunner itself."

"Another hand replenishment...?"

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3→4]

[John Anderson's cue cards: 2→3]

Then, Judai pointed to the smaller Ultraman and said, "Next, [Elemental HERO Neo-Spacian] is Gemini Monster, so I will summon it again to obtain its hidden abilities!"

Immediately, a white light emanated from the little Ultraman, and in the blink of an eye, he grew into a larger Ultraman.

Chapter 208 The Rainbow Ancient City

"That's Neo-HERO! That's so cool!" Looking at the grown-up Ultraman, John asked in confusion, "But where's Sub- Neo-HERO?"

"The monster right in front of you is it!"

"What?"

Judai didn't mince words and quickly explained, "Neo-HERO is originally Neo-HERO in its undeveloped state, so when Neo-HERO is summoned a second time, its effect is that as long as this card is on the field, it is treated as [Elemental HERO Neos].

"So that's how it is..."

John nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he had no further questions, and gestured for Judai to continue.

Without hesitation, Judai drew a card from his hand and shouted, "Now I activate the monster effect of [Cross Porter]!"

You can target 1 monster you control; send that monster to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 [Neo-Spacian] monster from your hand.

"I send this card to the Graveyard, and Special Summon [Neo-Spacian Sky Hummingbird] from my hand."

As he slammed the card onto the Duel Disk, a burst of golden light appeared on the field, and the silhouette of Sky Hummingbird followed.

[Neo-Spacian - Sky Hummingbird: Attack Power 800]

"And when [Cross Porter] is sent from the field to the graveyard, I can choose one [Neo-Spacian] monster from my deck to add to my hand."

"I chose [Neo-Spacian: Aqua Dolphin]."

Then Judai waved his hand and shouted, "Go! Sky Hummingbird, Neo-HERO, the two monsters, Contact Fusion!"

In an instant, Ultraman and the red birdman flew into the air, their figures overlapping and touching, bursting forth with dazzling light.

"Appear, Sky Neo-HERO!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of enormous wings spread out, and the crimson Ultraman descended.

"When your health is lower than the opponent's, the difference is added to Sky Neo-HERO's attack power."

[Elemental HERO Air Neos: Attack Power 2500 → 3700]

"Ah~, Sky Neo-HERO! This guy is so cool!"

"It's not over yet!" Judai inserted another card into the Spell & Trap Zone on the Duel Disk: "I'll equip the Equip Spell [To 5 Heroes] to Sky Neo-HERO."

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 4 → 3]

After completing his preparations, Judai immediately launched his attack. "Let's fight!"

"And at the very moment the battle begins, the effect of the Equip Spell [Favorite Hero] activates, and the Field Spell [Neo Space] is activated from the Deck!"

Swish!

As his Duel Disk read the arena information, the surrounding environment rapidly transformed into a strange cosmic space.

"Due to the effect of [Neo Space], Sky Neo-HERO's attack power increases by 500 points. Furthermore, when there is Field Spell on your field, Sky Neo-HERO equipped with [Favorite Hero] gains its original defense power and becomes immune to enemy effects."

[Elemental HERO Air Neos: Attack Power 3700 → 6200]

"Attack power 6200...!? Impressive! Do you want to decide the winner this round?"

"They're coming, John!"

"Don't let your guard down!"

Hearing his companion's reminder, John nodded. "I understand."

Asuka: "[My Favorite Hero] has the ability to launch additional attacks, Judai sure to win!"

At the same time, Judai flicked his hand and roared, "Go, Sky Neo-HERO, attack Yellow Crystal Tiger! Sky Wing!"

'Drink!'

The Sky Neo-HERO flapped its wings, drawing two streaks of air as it attacked John.

"That won't do!"

"What?"

John then waved his arm and shouted, "Activate the Trap Card, [Last Resort]!"

The face-down card on his right then opened, "When your opponent declares an attack, you can activate the Field Spell [Rainbow Ancient City] from your Deck."

"At this point, if the opponent has Field Spell on their field, they can draw a card."

"Trying to take over my space...?"

Left with no other option, Judai had to draw a card from his deck.

[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 3→4]

"Activate, [Rainbow Ancient City]!"

Swish!

As John placed the card on the field, the strange universe rapidly collapsed.

Click click click click click...

The next second, with a loud crack, it shattered into countless fragments like glass breaking, and the surrounding scenery changed once again. A ruin resembling an arena appeared before everyone's eyes, with a rainbow hanging not far from it.

"This reduces the Sky Neo-HERO's attack power."

[Elemental HERO Air Neos: Attack Power 6200 → 3700]

At that moment, Sky Neo-HERO's attack landed on Topaz Tiger, instantly shattering him into pieces.

Boom--!

"Ugh...!"

[John Anderson: LP4000→2900]

"When the Crystal Beasts on the field is destroyed, it can turn into a crystal that remains on the field!"

A flash of yellow light, and a yellow crystal crystalline stone solidified in John's backstage area.

"Furthermore, because my health points have been reduced, Sky Neo-HERO's attack power has also decreased."

[Elemental HERO Air Neos: Attack Power 3700 → 2600]

Although its attack power is the same as the Jade Turtle, John understands that it is only temporary. As long as the Judai Bladedge commits suicide, it can be upgraded back. Therefore, he knows that the Jade Turtle cannot be saved.

As expected...

"At this moment, the effect of the Equip Spell [Favorite Hero] activates. When the monster equipped to this card destroys an opponent's monster, Sky Neo-HERO can attack an additional time by sending this card to the Graveyard as a price."

Seeing Judai shove the card into the graveyard, John wasn't about to back down. "Then I'll activate the other effect of the Continuous Trap [Crystal Beasts' Exquisite] the instant you activate its effect!"

"When you have a [Crystal Beasts] card in your Spell & Trap Zone, you can send this face-up card to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Special Summon 1 [Crystal Beasts] monster from your hand or Graveyard, and for this turn, you take half damage."

"Come forth, [Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth]!"

In an instant, an amber stone appeared and emitted an amber light, followed by a mammoth with six giant tusks on its cheeks.

[Crystal Beast Amber Mammoth: Defense 1600]

[John Anderson's hand cards: 3→2]

"It's an amber mammoth?"

"Thanks to the effect of the Bladedge, I was able to summon the Amber Mammoth."

John continued, "Since [Crystal Beasts' Exquisite] has disappeared from the field, the Jade Turtle's attack power has returned to normal."

[Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise: Attack Power 2600 → 600]

Chapter 209 Golden Rule

Although the Jade Turtle's attack power has decreased, Judai is still unable to attack it immediately.

Because the Mammoth Giant next to it has a taunt effect, as long as any [Crystal Beasts] other than that card is attacked, the target of the attack can be changed to it. And its defense power is the same as the attack power of the Bladedge, so Judai can only choose to use Ultraman to launch the attack.

Thinking this through, Judai didn't hesitate. "Then Sky Neo-HERO attacks Amber Mammoth, Sky Wing!"

'Drink!'

The Sky Neo-HERO Blade flapped its wings again, unleashing two energy blades as it charged towards the Mammoth Giant.

Boom--!!

"According to the general effect of [Crystal Beasts], the Amber Mammoth has also turned into a crystal and remained on my field!"

Immediately afterwards, a piece of raw amber appeared in John's backcourt.

"Then, the Bladedge attacked the Jade Turtle!"

Suddenly, the Bladedge fired another shot at the jade turtle.

Bang!

The giant tortoise, pierced once more, exploded into dust with a deafening roar.

"Uh... the Jade Turtle has been...!"

Seeing the green crystal ore appear at his feet, John gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Damn it, because of the [Crystal Beasts' Exquisite] effect, I take half the damage."

[John Anderson: LP2900→2400]

"My battle isn't over yet!"

"What?"

Just then, Judai threw out a card from his hand and shouted, "I activate the Quick-Play Spell [Contact Fusion] from my hand to release the Polymerization of Sky Neo-HERO and Special Summon the monster material from my Deck."
