Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with a Yin Deck, Depressing the World, Part 197
"And the effect of your [One-Shot Kill: Iaido Draw] is to destroy all cards on the field and send them to the graveyard. For each card sent to the graveyard, you deal 1000 damage to your opponent."
"Now, when this [Hero Medal] is destroyed, it won't be sent to the graveyard. This means that the damage it inflicts on me is only equivalent to the 3000 damage from the other three cards!"
"..." Upon hearing Jaden Yuki's words, and seeing the [Hero Medal] trap reappear on the field in front of him.
Not only on the other side of the dueling arena, but Tachibana Ikkaku, his dueling opponent, also looked somewhat bewildered and fell silent.
Even those around Jiang He, including Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome, had strange expressions on their faces!
The card used in the ambush was actually this kind of card...?!
By including this type of "special trap" in his deck, isn't Jaden Yuki worried that he might never be able to use it, or even accidentally clog his hand?!
Even Jiang He's lips twitched as he watched.
For a moment, I didn't know how to complain.
Clearly, this is another trap that only a player with an exceptionally lucky draw could use...
The most frustrating thing is that this [Hero Medal] carries Heavy Storm of being completely useless, and even if it is successfully activated by chance, the benefit of the "ugly card" is almost negligible... It is only slightly effective against Tachibana Ikkaku's Iaido Draw Deck.
This was even with the opponent not luring an extra card on their side of the field to further ensure sufficient damage... Jiang He called it a "blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse" strategy, a "charity" trap for those with godlike draws! Damn it...! It was actually countered by this ridiculously weak trap!
Seeing that Jaden Yuki drew a card from his deck according to the effect of [Hero Medal], Tachibana Ikkaku also came to his senses, and quickly clenched his fist with a dark expression.
If he had known this would happen, he would have hidden an extra card in his hand and also put a useful Spell Card on his field!
He's overestimating himself a bit!
"Even if you've managed to dodge my attack temporarily, my turn and offensive aren't over yet!" Tachibana Ikkaku said angrily, immediately drawing another card from his remaining four cards and showing it to the world! "I activate the Spell Card from my hand, [Goddess's Footsteps]!"
A Spell Card with a golden-haired winged angel figure floating above a lake suddenly appeared on the field in front of him!
"This card's effect can only be activated when your opponent has a monster with 1500 or less ATK in their hand. As a cost Special Summon one monster that meets the conditions to your opponent's field, and then you can also Special Summon one monster with 1500 or less ATK from your hand!" "However, the monster Special Summon by this effect cannot attack this turn!" Tachibana Ikkaku said, pointing to one of Jaden Yuki's remaining three cards. "Of the three Normal Monsters remaining in your hand, there's a Avian with 1000 ATK, isn't there?"
"Sigh, another Special Summon for me?" Jaden Yuki paused for a moment, then quickly slammed Avian from his hand onto his Duel Disk. "Screech!!"
As a faint light appeared, a familiar figure of a green-winged monster materialized!
He appeared in front of Jaden Yuki with a low growl.
[E·hero Avian]
[Star Rating: 3]
[Attribute: Wind]
[Attack Power: 1000]
[Defense Strength: 1000]
Because all the cards on the field had been destroyed by the effect of Tachibana Ikkaku's Spell Card [One-Shot Kill: Iaido Draw], even if Jaden Yuki summoned [Elemental HERO Avian], he would still only have that one lonely monster on the field.
Meanwhile, the opponent's court was completely empty.
"Then, according to the effect of the Spell Card [Goddess's Footsteps], I also choose to Special Summon a monster with 1500 or less ATK from my hand! 5.2" The man with Tachibana Ikkaku, quickly drew a card from his remaining three cards and placed it on his Duel Disk. "Come forth, [Reaper King]!"
"Ugh!!"
With a faint light, a figure of the Reaper monster dressed entirely in black robes, draped in black shoulder armor and a cloak, and wielding a long-handled scythe appeared!
It appeared in the arena in front of that Tachibana Ikkaku with a strange cry!
[Reaper King]

"Because of the negative effect of the Spell Card [Goddess's Footsteps], the summoned [Reaper King] cannot attack this turn. My turn is over." After summoning the Reaper King, Tachibana Kazuma, with dark circles under his eyes, snorted somewhat unwillingly.
Although the effect of the Spell Card [One-Shot Kill: Iaido Draw] allowed Jaden Yuki to narrowly avoid the first hit.
This resulted in the inability to complete a kill.
However, he still has a spell card in his hand, [Magical Stone Excavation], which allows him to discard two cards from his hand and retrieve a Spell Card Spell Card from his graveyard.
In other words, he still has a certain chance of defeating Jaden Yuki again in the next round!
The only downside is that the Reaper's gacha power will run out of energy when used a second time.
He could no longer guarantee that he would definitely draw another [One-Shot Kill: Iaido Draw]!
"Even the strongest first wave of 10 attacks was dodged; a successful second wave seems even more impossible..."
Seeing that Tachibana Ikkaku was gritting his teeth and looking at a card in his hand, Jiang He immediately understood what the other party was thinking and shook his head inwardly.
He stated that this was especially true when the opponent was a player with incredibly good draws...
"My turn, draw a card!"
Meanwhile, in the distance at the duel arena, Jaden Yuki was also quickly drawing cards from his own Duel Disk deck.
After glancing at the card he had drawn, a wide, excited smile immediately spread across his face! "Here it comes, my Reversal Card!"
Jaden Yuki spoke, he showed the card he had just drawn, "Activate the Spell Card from my hand, [Pot of Greed]! Draw two cards from your Deck!" A very familiar green jar with a strange face immediately appeared beside him.
Immediately after Jaden Yuki drew two cards from his own Duel Disk deck, they automatically shattered into orange-yellow particles and disappeared.
This brings your hand to four cards!
"Next, activate the Spell Card [Fake Hero] from your hand."
Jaden Yuki spoke, he immediately took out one card from his hand, which now contained four cards, and showed it to the player!
A Spell Card depicting a nerdy guy about to change into the hero outfit pictured on the wall suddenly appeared on the field in front of him! "The effect of the Spell Card [Fake Hero] allows you to Special Summon one E. hero monster from your hand. However, as a trade-off, the monster Special Summon by this effect cannot attack this turn and returns to your hand at the end of the turn." "I choose to Special Summon my new hero ace from my hand! [Elemental HERO Neos]!"
Jaden Yuki, beaming with excitement, slammed a card onto his Duel Disk! "Come forth, Elemental HERO Neos!" "Hah!!"
With a faint light, a hero-monster figure, predominantly blue and white with a blue crystal timer-like object in front of him, leaped out with a low roar!
Then it slowly landed on the field in front of Jaden Yuki!
[E·hero - Elemental HERO Neos]
[Star Rating: 7]
[Attribute: Light]
[Attack Power: 2500]
[Defense Strength: 2000]
"Huh? If there's a price to pay for not being able to attack, then even if we summon a high-level E. hero ace monster with 2500 attack power, it won't be of any use, right?" Not far from Jiang He, Alexis's best friend, Jasmine, said with some doubt.
"That's right, it's better to summon another E. Hero monster and then use a normal tribute summon to avoid the effect of being unable to attack..." Mindy nodded in agreement.
Even Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and confusion.
After all, if Polymerization is needed, there's no need to specifically summon them to the field; you can simply Polymerization from your hand.
However, if one intends to attack an opponent, the restriction preventing such an attack renders it impossible to do so.
They can even be returned to your hand at the end of the turn.
Logically speaking, given Jaden Yuki's strength, he shouldn't have been unaware of this.
Is there some other special tactic?
Jiang He, on the other hand, already had some vague guesses.
He remembered that in the new power deck that Jaden got, the Fusion Monster that used [Elemental HERO Neos] as Polymerization material didn't seem to need the [Polymerization] Spell Card much.
"But as a price, I need to summon this Elemental HERO Neos onto the field first." "My new ace hero is no ordinary hero!" Jaden Yuki said confidently with a smile.
863 simultaneously placed one of his remaining two cards onto his Duel Disk!
"Next, I'll use an attack signal for my Normal Summon: my second new partner! Appear, [Neo Space Hero Grand Mole]!" "Squeak!!"
With a faint light, the figure of a yellow-haired mole monster with gray drill weapons on both shoulders appeared!
With a strange cry, it appeared on the field in front of Jaden Yuki!
[Neo Space Hero - Earth Mole]
[Star Rating: 3]
[Attribute: Earth]
[Attack Power: 900]
[Defense: 300]
"So it really happened... this monster from the 'New Underworld' series."
Upon seeing the figure of the yellow-haired mole monster, Jiang He couldn't help but twitch his lips and mutter a sarcastic remark.
Compared to the E. hero monsters used by that hot-blooded idiot Jaden Yuki before, almost every monster in this Neo Space Hero series has a slightly eerie aura about it.
Although it can't compare to the shady deck he used, at least he's not as "hot-blooded idiot" as before...

"Let me show you the power of my ace hero! And let Jiang He see the power of my new deck too!"
Jaden Yuki waved excitedly.
"Go, [Elemental HERO Neos], plus [Neo Space Hero Grand Mole], Contact Polymerization!"
"Special Summon [Elemental HERO Grand Neos]!"
"Contact Polymerization?"
Upon hearing his words, both Tachibana Ikkaku, his opponent on the other side of the dueling arena, and Asuka Alexis Rhodes and Rei Saotome on Jiang He's side, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
This includes Syrus Truesdale, the underling who always followed that hot-blooded idiot Yuki Jaden Yuki!
Clearly, Jaden Yuki, who had only acquired this new deck yesterday, hadn't used Contact Polymerization yet!
This made Jiang He's expression turn somewhat strange.
If this is his first time using it, surely that hot-blooded idiot Jaden wouldn't be unaware of the side effects of his Elemental HERO Neos "Contact Polymerization" technique...
"Um!!"
At that moment, as Jaden Yuki finished speaking, the blue and white [Elemental HERO Neos] figure and the yellow-haired mole-like [Neo Space Hero Grand Mole] figure on the field in front of him both leaped up in response!
"Buzz!!"
In the blink of an eye, a dark starry cosmic background appeared in the air above, and the two leaping monster figures instantly turned into points of light and merged together against that cosmic backdrop!
"Drink!!"
In the blink of an eye, amidst a burst of blue and white light, it transformed into a monster figure somewhat similar to the original Elemental HERO Neos, but with a large amount of thick, dark green armor on its body and a huge gray drill on its wrist!
