Chapter 341
[Overlord Judai Hand Cards: 3 → 2]
The next moment, the surrounding environment rapidly changed, and an ominous demon city appeared before everyone's eyes. The Overlord was standing in front of the city gate, facing the Judai on the other side of the bridge, while scorching magma flowed beneath the bridge.
"Hmph, you want to pull off a kill...?"
Judai wasn't surprised; the opponent clearly intended to use the combination of the Blazing Winged Demon and the Darkness Castle to wipe them out in one fell swoop, because their effects were:
[Evil HERO Infernal Wing], 'If this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, activate this effect. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the higher of that monster's original ATK and original DEF.'
[Darkness Castle], 'Once per turn, during damage calculation when your Fiend-type monster battles an opponent's monster, you can send 1 [Evil HERO] monster from your Deck or Extra Deck to the Graveyard; that monster gains 200 ATK equal to the Level of the monster sent to the Graveyard until the end of this turn.'
The highest-level monster in Evil HERO is currently an 8-star monster, so the attack power of the Blazing Winged Demon can rise to a maximum of 3700 points. With the defense power of the Glow Moss at 1100, it can deal a high amount of damage of 4300 points in one go and instantly wipe out Judai's HP, unless there are other unexpected events. Of course, that is impossible.
At this moment, the usually taciturn Overlord swung his hand down and commanded, "Go! Karmic Fire Winged Demon, attack the Glow Moss! Karmic Fire Explosion!"
Upon receiving the attack order, the Blazing Winged Demon clenched its hands, and a burst of azure Blazing Fire was quickly formed and hurled towards the Glow Moss.
Upon seeing this, Judai quickly waved his arm and shouted, "Activate the special effect of Glow Moss the instant you attack!"
When this card is used in battle, you draw 1 card. The card drawn by this effect is revealed to both players, and this card gains the following effects of that card type.
● Monster Card: Ends the Battle Phase of this turn.
● Spell Card: This card can attack the opponent directly.
● Trap Card: This card is changed to Defense Position.
Without even glancing at it, Judai drew the top card from his deck and said, "The card I drew is, of course, the monster card Dynamite, which I placed on top of my deck using the effect of Negation Man. Therefore, your Battle Phase is forcibly ended."
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 0→1]
In the blink of an eye, the flying karmic fire suddenly dissipated in mid-air.
"..."
After a moment of silence, the Overlord did nothing and then said, "End of round."
Now the control has returned to the Judai.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 0→1]
"During my preparation process, I will activate the [D-Tactics] effect once again, increasing the attacker's attack power by another 400 points."
[Destiny HERO - Denial Guy: Attack Power 1500 → 1900]
Chapter 250 The Abyss Evil
After denying the increased attack power of the opponent, Judai immediately played the card he had just drawn. "I activate the monster effect of [Elemental HERO Terra Firma] from my hand. I discard this card from my hand, and one [HERO] monster on the field gains 2500 ATK this turn."
[Destiny HERO - Denial Guy: Attack Power 1900 → 4400]
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]
Then, Judai waved his hand and shouted, "Battle begins! First, use the Negation Man to attack the Blazing Winged Demon!"
Upon receiving the instruction, the person who denied immediately swung the chain in their hand, and the sharp end shot out towards the opposite side.
Seeing this, the Overlord calmly said, "At this moment, the Field Spell [Darkness Castle] activates. During damage calculation for your Fiend-type monsters and your opponent's monsters, send one [Evil HERO] monster from your Deck or Extra Deck to the Graveyard. That Fiend-type monster gains 200 ATK equal to the number of monsters you discarded for this turn."
"I sent the Level 7 [Evil Hero Evil Blade Demon♀:^^■qi⊥■∴] to the graveyard, and the Karma Fire Winged Demon's attack power increased by 1400 points."
[Evil HERO Infernal Wing: Attack Power 2100 → 3500]
The next second, the chains thrown by the Denial Man pierced through the body of the Blazing Flame Winged Demon and blasted it into ashes.
Boom--!!
"..."
[Overlord Judai: LP4000→3100]
The Overlord's cold face showed no sign of pain, as if this injury was nothing to him.
"So the field effect actually reduced the damage caused by the Judai Monster!"
"And that guy was too calm..."
This was within Judai's expectations, so he continued to command, "Next, I'll fight with Glow Moss."
"Then at this moment, the effect of the monster 'Glow Moss' allows you to draw one card from your deck."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1→2]
He glanced at the card he had drawn and then showed it to the audience. "The card I drew is [EN Shift]. If it's a Spell Card, then Glow Moss will attack you directly!"
'Ha--!'
With Glow Moss, he pushed forward with his right hand, unleashing a surge of energy that hurtled towards the Overlord.
"..."
[Overlord Judai: LP3100→2600]
The attack merely caused the Overlord's cloak to flutter behind him, without causing any ripples.
"My turn isn't over yet..."
Judai pointed to the loli-type Ultraman beside him and said, "[Cosmic Connector]'s other effect activates. Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 [Neo-Spacian] monster or [Elemental HERO Neos] monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position."
"Rise, Shining Moss!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Cosmic Connector vanished from the field in a burst of light, and the figure of Shining Moss reappeared in front of him.
Immediately afterward, he threw out the card he had just drawn and shouted, "I'll activate Spell Card [EN Shift] from my hand, select one [Elemental HERO] monster or [Neo-Spacian] monster on my field and return it to my Deck, then Special Summon one [Elemental HERO] monster or [Neo-Spacian] monster with a different name from that card from my Deck."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 2 → 1]
"I return Shining Moss to my deck and Special Summon [Elemental HERO Shadow Mist] in Defense Position."
Buzz!
A flash of golden light appeared on the field, and the figure of the Shadow Mist suddenly appeared beside Judai.
[Elemental HERO Shadow Mist: Defense 1500]
"At this moment, the monster effect of Shadow Mist activates. When this card is Special Summoned, add one [Change] Quick-Play Spell from your Deck to your hand."
"I add [Mask Change] to my hand and place it on the field. End of turn."
[Destiny HERO - Denial Guy: Attack Power 4400 → 1900]
After Judai announced the end of his turn, the Overlord didn't say anything unnecessary and calmly drew a card.
"Draw a card!"
[Overlord Judai Hand Cards: 2→3]
After he finished drawing his card, Judai spoke again, "During your preparation phase, continue to activate the effect of the Continuous Trap [D-Tactics], increasing the attack of all [Heroes] on your field by 400 points."
[Destiny HERO - Denial Guy: Attack Power 1900 → 2300]
[Elemental HERO Shadow Mist: Attack Power 1000 → 1400]
After finishing, the Overlord looked at his hand, glanced at it, placed it in his left hand, and then drew another card and played it.
"Activate the Spell Card, [Dark Calling]!"
[Overlord Judai Hand Cards: 3 → 2]
"Monsters that require the effect of [Dark Fusion] to be Special Summoned, except for Polymerization Materials from your hand or Graveyard, are treated as Fusion Summon by the effect of [Dark Fusion]."
"Except for the [Evil HERO Malicious Edge] and the [Evil HERO Infernal Wing] of level six or higher in the graveyard..."
Within the dark vortex of Polymerization, two demonic figures emerged, instantly swallowed by the twisted power, releasing a malevolent black mist.
"Appear, [Evil HERO Malicious Devil]!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pitch-black demon with demonic wings on its back and sharp claws on its hands pierced through the darkness and descended before the Overlord.
[Evil HERO Malicious Devil: Attack Power 3500]
"Attack power 3500...?"
"Is that guy's trump card monster?"
"This is bad..."
Asuka and the others couldn't help but worry, and at that moment, the Overlord played another Spell Card: "Activate Equip Spell [Favorite Hero], Abyss Evil's ATK increases by its DEF value, and it cannot be targeted by the opponent's card effects."
[Evil HERO Malicious Devil: Attack Power 3500 → 5600]
[Overlord Judai Hand Cards: 2 → 1]
Then he gave a direct order, "Disappear, Yusei Fudo! The Abyss Evil attacks those who deny humanity!"
"And at that very moment, the effect of [Darkness Castle] is activated once more, sending the Level 5 [Evil HERO Malicious Fiend] from the deck to the graveyard, increasing the ATK of the Fiend-type Abyss Evil by 1000 points."
[Evil HERO Malicious Devil: Attack Power 5600 → 6600]
The next moment, the Abyss Evil waved his hands, and several flying blades filled with dark power shot towards the Denial Man, instantly killing him.
Boom--!!
"It's useless!" Seeing Judai, Jaden immediately revealed the card in his hand. "I activate the effect of [Destiny HERO Dynamite] from my hand. This battle deals zero damage to myself, and both players take 1000 damage."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1 → 0]
[Yusei Fudo: LP4000→3000]
[Overlord Judai: LP2600→1600]
Chapter 251 The Phoenix Chick Reappears
Despite failing to instantly kill Judai with his attack, the Overlord showed no disappointment. "Hmph, just a death throes."
"As long as [Favorite Hero] is equipped, the Abyss Evil is invincible."
"The effect of Abyss Evil is that, as long as this card is on the field, during your opponent's Battle Phase, all monsters on your opponent's field are changed to Attack Position and must attack this card if they can attack."
This means that Judai cannot use the [Mask Change] effect to summon Dark Fiend for a direct attack, nor can he use the Glow Moss effect for a direct attack.
"My turn is over. The Abyss Evil's attack power has returned to normal."
[Evil HERO Malicious Devil: Attack Power 6600 → 5600]
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 0→1]
After this card draw, Judai, as always, pointed to the Trap Card at his feet and said, "During my preparation phase, based on the effect of the Continuous Trap [D-Tactics], Shadow Mist's ATK increases by 400 points."
[Elemental HERO Shadow Mist: Attack Power 1400 → 1800]
Then he reached out and pressed the button on the Duel Disk, revealing the face-down card that had been facing down at the beginning. "Then I activated the Trap Card [Return from the Different Dimension], and Special Summoned a monster from my Graveyard in Defense Position."
"Awaken, sincere Neo-HERO!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of white light shot out from the graveyard opening on his Duel Disk. Ultraman, with pure white wings on his back, flew out from the light.
[Elemental HERO Terra Firma- Defense 2000]
He then took another card from the graveyard and said, "I activate another effect of [Destiny HERO - Denial Guy] from the graveyard: once during a Duel, when there is a [Destiny HERO] monster other than myself on my field or in my graveyard, Special Summon this card from the graveyard."
Another beam of light shot out from the graveyard entrance, and the figure of the Denial Man leaped out and landed beside Judai.
[Destiny HERO - Denial Guy: Attack Power 1100]
"And once again, I can activate the monster effect of the Negation Man. Because of this card's appearance, I can place [Destiny HERO Dynamite] from my Graveyard back to the top of my Deck."
After completing these actions, Judai pointed to the Glow Moss beside him and said, "First of all, due to the effect of the Abyss Evil, all my monsters are now in Attack Position and must attack."
[Elemental HERO Shadow Mist - Attack Power 1800]
[Elemental HERO Terra Firma - Attack Power 2500]
"Then I'll use Glow Moss in the fight."
"At this point, based on the effect of the Glow Moss, I draw another card from the top of my deck, and the card I draw is, of course, the Dynamite Man."
[Yusei Fudo's card pack: 1→2]
"When a monster card is drawn, the battle phase ends forcibly."
After finishing, he buried another card in his hand in the back row, "Finally, face down one card, end of turn."
