Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

“【C·Hero Chaos Knight】. Tsk, banished too early. It feels like I haven’t heard that name in two days. I’d completely forgotten about this card.” “Amon” looked at the monster that had reappeared next to Jaden with some displeasure. “That persistent 【Hero】.”

"3000 attack power is pretty good, and the nullification effect can also help it negate and destroy my [Red-Eyes Corpse Dragon] effect, but the problem is that Jaden, you are already isolated and helpless. With only one monster on the field, can you defeat me, who has 4000 life points?"

Moreover, aside from the fact that cards like "Pharaoh's Avatar" keep popping out of the graveyard, the biggest characteristic of the Undead deck is that it is not afraid of being destroyed in battle, right?
"Amon" has the card "Giant Ghoul - Magella". This card can be banished from the hand or graveyard to replace the destruction of a Zombie monster by battle or effect. After that, the banished "Giant Ghoul - Magella" can be brought into battle in Defense Position and its Level drops by 1 star. "Phosphorus Cat" on his field has the ability to be Synchro Summoned at Speed ​​2 during the opponent's turn. This can be used to Synchro Summon a second "Red-Eyes Undead Dragon Emperor" during the opponent's turn.

The effect of [Red-Eyes Undead Dragon Emperor] is to Special Summon a Zombie monster from the Graveyard at Speed ​​2 during the opponent's turn, and to Special Summon this card by banishing one Zombie monster from the field while it is in the Graveyard. [Red-Eyes Undead Dragon] can also Special Summon one Zombie monster from both players' Graveyards when a Zombie monster other than this card is destroyed by battle. Once any Zombie monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, you can use the effect of [Giant Bone Dragon - Shining] to negate the effect of [C·Hero Chaos Knight].

Then, the face-down card in your back row, "Zombie Spin," can banish one Zombie monster on your field to Special Summon a Zombie monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position. This avoids a situation like Jaden's previous one, where a monster's ATK was reduced, becoming a weak point and causing a significant loss of Life Points. The other card is the Quick-Play Spell Card "Zombie Struggle," which can increase or decrease the ATK of one Zombie monster on the field by 1000. Playing it might have a surprising effect, such as turning the tide when Jaden's monster is confidently about to defeat your monster.

With only 700 life points, what can Jaden Yuki do with his remaining three cards? He can't do anything! He's already trapped in his own hands!

Just as "Amon" was secretly pleased with himself, Jaden drew a card from his deck and said, "My turn, draw!"

"Then, I activate the effect of [C·hero Chaos Knight] to negate the effect of [Red-Eyes Undead Dragon] on the opponent's field!"

With his first move, Jaden chose to seal the effect of [Red-Eyes Undead Dragon]. The power of light and darkness converged at the fingertips of [C·hero Chaos Knight], transforming into an extremely thin energy cannon like a laser beam that shot out and pierced through the chest of [Red-Eyes Undead Dragon]!

Even though the Red-Eyes Undead Dragon is an undead monster that doesn't need to breathe, the fact that its chest was pierced prevented it from properly exhaling flames, and the blue-purple soul fire around it suddenly seemed to be about to go out!
[Red-Eyes Undead Dragon] [3100/2700→2400/2000]

If the sealed effect were from another monster, "Amon" might have used the effect before it was nullified. Unfortunately, none of the effects of "Red-Eyes Corpse Dragon" could be triggered actively, so he could only watch helplessly as the effect of "Red-Eyes Corpse Dragon" was nullified.

"Now that the attack power of [Red-Eyes Undead Dragon] has been reduced back to its original 2400 points, it's no match for your [C·Hero Chaos Knight]. So, even if it only deals a mere 600 points of damage, are you still going to attack?" "Amon" taunted Jaden, secretly planning that activating [Undead Struggle] would be perfect when Jaden attacked.

But Jaden denied it, saying, "No, my main phase won't end so quickly. The reason I used the effect of [C·hero Chaos Knight] from the beginning is simply because I need his power and can't let the effect go to waste."

"Although this seems wasteful—I activate the Spell Card [Advanced Draw], which allows me to Tribute one face-up Level 8 or higher monster on my field to draw two cards from my Deck! I Tribute my Level 9 [C·hero Chaos Knight] and then Draw!"

【C·hero Chaos Knight】's body turned into specks of light and dissipated from Jaden's field. At the same time, two cards flew out of his body and were added to Jaden's hand. Seeing this, "Amon" teased, "Once again, you sacrificed your monster, Jaden. You always talk about becoming a hero, but you always do things so casually, huh?"

“You don’t understand anything at all. Even if [C·hero Chaosman] sacrificed himself for me willingly, I wouldn’t be happy. And how I said goodbye to him, just like before…” Jaden stopped halfway through his sentence, suddenly forgetting what he was going to say. “Anyway, I now have five cards in my hand, and there are no cards on the field.”

[Yujo Judai: 700LP, hand cards 3→4→5]

"It's not over yet! Next up is this spell card, Pot of Greed. It returns five monster cards from my graveyard—E. Hero Sunrise, Necromancer, M. Hero Darkclaw, M. Hero Lightfang, and M. Hero Atomic Fire—to the deck, shuffles them, and then draws two cards."

Although it's called returning to the deck, four of the five cards Jaden chose were Fusion Monsters from the Extra Deck. In the end, only "Necromancer" was returned to the deck. This is also why Jaden didn't banish "Necromancer" before; he needed enough monsters in the Graveyard to return to the deck in order to activate "Pot of Greed" and replenish his hand.

As for why he doesn't use the other monsters in his graveyard, such as [C·hero Chaos Knight]? He has other plans for those cards.

"Just like last round when you started your turn with six cards to face my [Hero]s, 'Amon,' now I also have six cards in my hand!"

Having deliberately replenished his hand to six cards, and seeing that he had finally drawn a Spell Card, Jaden didn't hesitate to play it, saying, "Then, I'll pay half of my Life Points to activate the Spell Card 'Hero Arrives'!"

【游城十代：700→350LP，手牌5→6→5】

Jaden's already meager Life Points were further reduced, and he caught the card automatically retrieved by the Duel Disk, saying, "If I have no face-up monsters on my field, I can activate this card by paying half of my Life Points. Special Summon one Level 4 or lower [E-hero] monster from my Deck, and I Special Summon [E-hero Bubble Man]!"

【E·hero Foam Warrior】【ATK800】

"At the moment [E·hero Bubble Man] is Special Summoned, since I have no other cards on the field besides [E·hero Bubble Man], I activate its effect and draw two more cards from my deck."

"Tsk, [E·hero]'s three tricks."

“But it works, that’s enough!” Jaden retorted to “Amon”’s words and played the card he had just drawn. “Then there’s this Quick-Play Spell Card, Bubble Illusion. This card can only be activated if I have E-Hero Bubble Man on my field. This turn I can activate one Trap Card from my hand, but I won’t use this effect for now.”

Because the effect of [Bubble Illusion] lasts for a whole turn, Jaden can freely choose when to activate the Trap Card. The reason he uses this card now is simply because this way he doesn't need to keep [E·hero Bubble Man] on the field.

"By banishing [C·hero Chaosman] from my Graveyard, Special Summon this [Winged Kuriboh LV6] from my Graveyard. Once per turn, she can Special Summon herself by banishing a [Winged Kuriboh] or [E·hero] Fusion Monster that is one in my hand, field, or Graveyard. The card name of [C·hero Chaosman] is treated as an [E·hero] card under the rules."

By utilizing the characteristics of [C·hero Chaos Knight], Jaden Special Summoned [Winged Kuriboh LV6] from his Graveyard. At this point, Jaden's Graveyard was left with only two monsters of "unclear significance".

【Winged Kuriboh LV6】【ATK300】 Despite its seemingly small and delicate appearance, "Amon" will not take the 【Winged Kuriboh LV6】 lightly, not only because of the powerful strength contained within it, but also because this guy is actually sticking close to Jaden!
She even looked at him defiantly after noticing his gaze. How dare she!

"You bastard, you can't do that, you can't do that!" Seeing that [Winged Kuriboh LV6] had rubbed against Jaden's face, "Amon" was so angry that his face turned white.

Unaware of the smug look on [Winged Kuriboh LV6]'s face as he showed off to "Amon," Jaden's mind was only on playing cards. He played a card from his hand: "Next is my Normal Summon for this turn. I Normal Summon [E·hero Solid Man] from my hand and activate its entry effect. I Special Summon this [E·hero Flame Man] from my hand."

【E·hero Solid State Drive】【ATK1300】

【E·hero Blaze】【ATK1200】

"If 【E·hero Blaze】 is successfully Special Summoned, it can also be activated to add one 【Fusion】 Spell Card from my Deck to my hand."

"The card I chose to add to my hand is this [Displacement Fusion]. The card name is used as [Fusion] in the rules, but the difference is that the Fusion Summon performed by this card can only use monsters on my field."

As he spoke, Jaden activated the card, "【Substitution Fusion】Activated! Send 【E.Hero Solidman】 and 【E.Hero Bubbleman】 from my field to the Graveyard as Fusion Materials, satisfying the Fusion Material requirement of two 【Hero】 monsters with different attributes!"

"Though the sun sets once, may it rise again from beyond the horizon, [E·hero Sunrise Warrior]!"

【E·hero Sunrise Man】【ATK2500】

The rising sun, [E·hero Sunrise Warrior], returns to Jaden's arena, bringing new hope to him.

"If [E·hero Sunrise] is Special Summoned, I can add one [Miracle Fusion] from my Deck to my hand." After a pause, Jaden continued, "And if [E·hero Solid State] is sent from the Monster Zone to the Graveyard by a Spell Card effect, I can target any [Hero] monster in my Graveyard other than one [E·hero Solid State] and Special Summon it in Defense Position."

"I Special Summon [M·hero Twilight Raven] from the Graveyard."

"At the same time, [M·hero Twilight Raven] also has an effect that activates when it is Special Summoned: add one [M·hero] monster other than yourself from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand."

【游城十代：350LP，手牌5→7→6→5→4→5→4→5】

【E·hero Sunrise Man】【ATK2500→3100】

【E·hero Blaze】【ATK1200→1800】

【Winged Kuriboh LV6】【ATK300→900】

【M·hero Twilight Raven】【ATK1200→1800】

After watching Jaden's actions, he managed to keep his hand at five cards while fielding four monsters. "Amon" couldn't help but say, "Even though they're all monsters I hate, it's really not easy to get this far, Jaden."

"However, there's one thing you absolutely shouldn't have done: Special Summon a monster from your Graveyard to the field!"

Seeing that Jaden had one of the monster cards in his graveyard from the previous turn—[M·hero Twilight Raven]—Special Summoned before him, "Amon" waved his hand and said:
"If you've forgotten, let me help you remember—the effect of [Giant Bone Dragon - Shining]: If this card is in the Monster Zone and a monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, you can target 1 face-up monster on the field other than this card; negate that monster's effects until the end of this turn!"

"I'm going to nullify your [E·hero Sunrise] effect!"

Currently, Jaden's field has three attributes: LIGHT, DARK, and FIRE. This gives Jaden's monsters a 600 ATK bonus. Jaden's monsters now have an ATK of 3100, surpassing both Giant Bone Dragon - Shining and Red-Eyes Undying Dragon. More importantly, it also has a Speed ​​2 Detonation effect that can be used when other Hero monsters declare an attack.

In Amon's judgment, negating the effect of [E·Hero Sunrise] is a higher priority than negating the effects of other monsters!
However, this was the same moment that Jaden had been waiting for: "Chaining the effect of my resurrected [M·hero Dark Raven], activating the effect of [Giant Bone Dragon - Shining]? But 'Amon,' because your [Giant Bone Dragon - Shining] has a form that is too similar to Kagurazaka's ace [Shining Giant Dragon], I have never forgotten its effect from the very beginning!"

"That's why I need to Special Summon [Winged Kuriboh LV6] first!"

The special summon of [Winged Kuriboh LV6] is like Hayato's commonly used [Hellfire], a special summon that does not require activation and does not enter a chain. In addition, its overly intimate actions with Jaden made "Amon" only jealous and completely unaware of its effect. It was only now that Jaden activated the effect that "Amon" suddenly remembered what kind of ability [Winged Kuriboh LV6] had.

C1 [M·hero Twilight Raven], C2 [Giant Bone Dragon - Shining], C3 [Winged Kuriboh LV6]!
"When the opponent declares an attack, or when the opponent activates the effect of a monster on their field, you can activate the effect of my [Winged Kuriboh LV6]." Jaden picked up the [Winged Kuriboh LV6] card and pointed it at [Giant Skeleton Dragon - Shining] on "Amon's" field, "Destroy that monster and inflict damage to the opponent equal to that monster's original ATK!"

"Wing Strike!"

Clad in the "Cosplay" outfit of [E·hero Flame Winged Man], [Winged Kuriboh LV6] transformed into a firebird and crashed into [Giant Bone Dragon - Shining]. Its original attack power of 2800 points was about to be reversed, becoming a blade aimed at "Amon." Even with a base score of 4000 points remaining, "Amon's" base score would plummet to 1200 points after taking this 2800-point effect damage! (End of Chapter)
