Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 379 Clash of Flames

In the nearly collapsed, cracked mirror, one of the original heroes emerges:

"Elemental Heroes - Winged Warrior"

However, unlike what is recorded or even in the memories of some people, the figure now reflected in the mirror lacks the former radiance and the lightness that once graced the "skyscraper".

It was as if a mottled shell was sealed inside, with a scarlet liquid called blood flowing from lifeless eye sockets.

then……

"Ban 'Evil Assault' (sent to the Graveyard last turn) and add 'Dark Fusion' (from the Graveyard) back to your hand."

Then, the moment the card was inserted, a vortex formed, and the "Poison Bubble Demon's" form dissolved, merging into the shattered prism.

"I fused 'Evil Hero - Poison Bubble Demon' with 'Dark Prism Demon,' who is regarded as 'Winged Hero,' and summoned this guy through fusion."

Then, hellfire ignited directly in the mirror:

""Evil-Hearted Hero". "

Ghostly Azure Flame shattered the prism, revealing its evil form:
"The Winged Demon of Karmic Fire - Hellfire Reversal."

"Evil Hero - Winged Demon of Karmic Fire: Hellfire (lv6)"

Attribute/Fire

"Race/Demon"

"atk/2100 def/1200"

"Then, if this card is successfully Special Summoned, I may add any card related to 'Dark Fusion,' excluding Fusion Monsters, from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand."

‘Zi La’

The dark shadows swirled and eventually coalesced into a figure that looked very familiar to You Ming:

"《Evil Hero - Fallen Claw Demon》—I add this card from my Graveyard to my hand, then target 《Evil Hero - Evil Blade Death Demon》 on my field and activate its effect to Special Summon 《Fallen Claw Demon》 in Defense Position."

"Then, at this very moment, I will activate the Quick-Play Spell I previously set—'Form Change,' returning the Level 8 'Masked HERO Acid Water' to the deck, and also sending the Level 8 'Masked HERO Lightfang' to the deck."

At that moment, light and darkness seemed to have engaged in an invisible battle.

Amidst the opposing radiance, two distinctly different heroes stood on the field:

"Evil Hero - Fallen Evil Claw Demon (lv7)"

"def/2500"

"Masked Hero - Koga (lv8)"

"atk/2500"

"However, because 'Acid Water' is a Water-type monster, while 'Light Fang' and 'Sunrise Warrior' are both Light-type monsters, you have fewer type monsters on your field, thus reducing the increase in ATK."

"Light Fang"

"atk/2500→2900"

"Sunrise Man"

"atk/3100→2900"

"Atomic Fire"

"atk/3300→3000"

"At the same time, the attack power of 'Evil Blade Death Demon' will increase by 300 due to the power of 'Fallen Evil Claw Demon'."

"Evil Hero - Evil Blade Death Demon"

"atk/3000→3300"

"Now your monsters have lower ATK than his—the effect of 'Death Slayer' activates."

Overlord's Declaration:

"Destroy all monsters on the opponent's field with attack power lower than his..."

That's why I summoned "Light Fang."

"Ok?"

'boom'

Just as the Overlord was surprised, the evil hero's wicked blade was already facing off against the radiant hero.

Although the jet-black blade struck the slender golden arm blade, it failed to destroy it; instead, the blade was coated with a layer of radiance.
"Lightfang's special effect: Once per turn, banish a 'Hero' monster from your Graveyard, then target one monster your opponent controls; reduce its ATK by that amount until the end of this turn."

The graveyard glowed, and as the card popped out, a phantom appeared behind it:
"I removed 'Elemental Hero - Shadow Mist Lady' from the graveyard, reducing 'Death Blade's' attack power by 1000."

"The Demon Blade"

"atk/3300→2300"

With a 'bang,' the blade finally unleashed its power, but it was completely blocked by the radiant barrier.

"When the effect resolves, the attack power has already decreased, so the effect will not destroy the monster."

'boom'

The darkness and light stirred up a near-desolate cloud of dust that almost completely engulfed the duelists.

But soon, You Ming saw a unique golden light flashing within the smoke—it was the Overlord's eyes:

"They also have something they want to convey, therefore—'The Severed Scroll' is activated."

‘Zi La’

As darkness swirled, when You Ming looked at the cards in his hand, he found that they were all shrouded in gloom:
"If either player has four or fewer cards in their hand, send all cards to the graveyard, and then draw the same number of cards from your deck. At the same time, if you have one or fewer cards in your hand, you can also draw one more card (Yubel version)."

At that moment, the phantom of the demonic dragon clearly appeared behind the Overlord.

The dragon, sorrowful yet seemingly overflowing with love, stretched out her hands:
"Activate Spell Card - 'Planetary Transformation', adding the Field Spell Card - 'Overlord Castle' from your Deck to your hand."

"No, you're not going to perform anymore?"

The crimson cloak billowed out, reflecting the Overlord's seemingly cold yet actually smiling gaze.

"But... never mind."

"Then, the field magic was activated."

'Boom'

At that very moment, purple lightning flashed across the sky.

Then, the ancient castle, seemingly not belonging to this world, appeared.

"Then, the battle begins—'Evil Hero - Evil Blade Death Demon' attacks 'Sunrise Warrior'."

At this moment, "Evil Hero"'s attack power was significantly lower than "Sunrise Hero's," but...

"When a Fiend monster on the field undergoes battle calculation, send one 'Evil Hero' from your Deck and Extra Deck to the Graveyard. For each Level 1 that Fiend has, that Fiend gains 200 ATK until the end of the turn."

As darkness shifted, the twisted figure flashed by:

"The one I sent to the graveyard was the second 'Evil Hero - Ferocious Corpse Demon,' its star rating was 5, therefore its attack power increased by 1000."

"Evil Hero - Evil Blade Death Demon"

"atk/2300→3300"

Finally, with the blessing of the Overlord City, the Blade Demon, which had been shrouded in radiance and appeared somewhat weak, regained its original power.

He roared, sweeping his dark, sharp blade directly at the only source of sunlight present:
"The Edge of Evil."

‘Zi La’

Amidst the roar, the shimmering light was directly severed, and the explosive shock also struck the duelists behind.

[Youming LP: 4000 → 3600]

To be honest, the damage wasn't particularly high, but along with the encroaching darkness, Youming could hear those lingering sounds.

"The sun will eventually set."

"The world will eventually be shrouded in darkness."

"Only in darkness can one survive."

but……

"This idea is wrong."

Amidst the cacophony of negative emotions, the duelist's declaration is revealed:

"Then, when your 'Hero' destroys a monster on your opponent's field, you will suffer 2100 damage from 'Hellfire'."

From within the black smoke, the demonic winged fiery monster raised its massive claw, its hand igniting with ominous flames:

"Counter Trap activated - 'Fusion Defense': Negate the activation and effect of that effect damage, and send a random Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard."

"We stirred up darkness to protect the people."

Immediately, the flames were blocked by even brighter flames.

Among these, another similar yet completely different figure emerges:
Have you all forgotten?

'Boom'

The flames burned, and what collided with the reverse fire was a strike from the raging inferno:
"The card I sent to the graveyard is—'Elemental HERO - Flame Wingman'."

'boom'
