Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

However, how much he actually understands his own deck is unknown.

Although there are only three monsters on Youyang's field at this moment, the two monsters are particularly terrifying.

Can this Gem Knight deck really beat Youyang's brand new hero deck?

Chen Yuexi's heart began to pound violently, and before she knew it, she was excited!

That's the allure of duels!

Shi Jian looked at the [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] on the field and said with a smile:

"Your [Destiny Hero Destroyer Phoenix] has indeed very high attack power."

"I have no way to defeat it right now."

"But the [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] you summoned with so much effort only has a mere 1900 attack points."

"It's exactly the same as my [Gem Knight: Crimson Pomegranate]!"

"So, let it perish along with my [Gem Knight: Crimson Garnet]!"

Yu Yang's [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] requires three monsters to summon.

His [Gem Knight: Red Garnet] is just a regular monster.

If it's a one-for-one trade, it's an absolute steal!

Moreover, he also possesses the means to expand upon this!

However, he dared not act rashly, his intuition telling him that Youyang's [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] had terrifying effects.

So it's best to destroy it first.

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, the most effective means of destruction is, of course, battle destruction!

Just as Shi Jian was about to announce the start of the battle, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The moment he appeared, the once arrogant [Gem Knight - Red Garnet] collapsed helplessly to the ground.

The flames on its body had become very weak, and its originally bright orange-yellow body had been tinged with a dark red.

And let's look at the attack power of [Gem Knight: Red Pomegranate].

This left Shi Jian utterly astonished.

The attack power of [Gem Knight - Red Pomegranate] instantly dropped from 1900 to 0.

【Gem Knight - Crimson Pomegranate】【Attack: 0 Defense: 0】

"What happened?!"

"What's going on?!"

Confusion and shock kept coming from Shi Jian's mouth; he really couldn't understand it.

He didn't see what effect You Yang had activated either.

Why did my monster's attack power decrease so much?

Chen Yuexi and the workers nearby also cast curious glances.

They also had no idea what You Yang had done.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, You Yang had no choice but to explain:

"This is another effect of [Destiny Hero Destroys Phoenix People]."

The ATK of monsters on your opponent's field is reduced by 200 for each "Hero" card in your Graveyard.

You Yang pointed to his grave and said:

"And at this moment, I have a total of 10 [Hero] cards in my graveyard."

"Therefore, your monster's attack power will be reduced by 2000 when it enters the battle."

Shi Jian's face turned deathly pale instantly; he had never expected that You Yang's monster would have such an effect.

It's amazing that the hero monsters in the graveyard can affect the attack power of his monsters.

Is this still the same hero deck that I used to easily defeat?

Fear began to spread in Shi Jian's heart.

But Shi Jian soon realized what would happen to those who failed to complete their boss's tasks.

His fear was somewhat dispelled by a deeper fear.

I must win!

Even though Youyang's monster effects are so powerful, I'm not without a chance!

Seeing You Yang's somewhat calm and indifferent expression, Shi Jian felt that he was being underestimated!

Don't underestimate me!

Chapter 65: Complete Invalidation and Attack Reduction! This is the hero's final act!

Shi Jian pulled a card from his hand and slammed it into the Duel Disk.

"Fusion Summoning! I can do that too!"

"I activate the magic card [Gem Knight Fusion] from my hand!"

"Use monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon 1 'Gem Knight' Fusion Monster."

"I will fuse the [Gem Knight: Yellow Jade] and the [Gem Knight: Azure Jade] in my hands!"

"The brilliance of the secret stone resonates with the thunder, and the heavily armored knight tears through the long night!"

Fusion Summon!

"Descend, [Gem Knight: Prism Crystal]!"

Azure sapphire energy and golden lightning intertwined to form a vortex, which began to slowly rotate in the center of the dueling arena.

A monster slowly emerged from the vortex.

He was covered in bright silver armor, with shoulder armor shaped like bull horns. He held a kite-shaped giant shield in his left hand and a spiral spear in his right, the tip of which was wrapped with leaping lightning.

A rhombus-shaped amethyst is inlaid on its chest, with a flow of lightning-attribute energy inside.

【Gem Knight - Prism Crystal】【7 Stars】

[Land/Mine Clan] [Attack: 2450 Defense: 1400]

【Gem Knight - Prism】But as soon as it appeared, its previous brave and fearless demeanor vanished instantly, and its body immediately became weak.

Its attack power was also reduced by Youyang's [Destiny Hero Destroyer Phoenix].

【Gem Knight - Prism Crystal】【Attack: 450 Defense: 1400】

Seeing that his [Gem Knight: Prism] attack power had been reduced again, his originally shiny knight armor was stained with a dark red.

A hint of heartache flashed in Shi Jian's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He still has ways to deal with a mere reduction in attack power!

Shi Jian pointed at the listless [Gem Knight - Prism Crystal] in front of him and said loudly:

"I activate the effect of [Gem Knight: Prism]!"

"Once per turn, you can send 1 'Gem Knight' card from your hand to the Graveyard, then target 1 face-up card on the field."

"That face-up indicates the card is destroyed."

"I discard [Gem Knight Obsidian] from my hand and choose to destroy your [Destiny Hero Destroyer Phoenix]!"

Shi Jian's eyes darted around. As long as he successfully destroyed [Destiny Hero Destroyer Phoenix], the attack power of all the monsters on his field would be restored.

At that time, his [Gem Knight - Prism] will have an attack power of up to 2450 points.

It far surpasses the two monsters on Youyang Field.

Moreover, at that time, he will also be able to destroy the other monster, [Special Hero Staff Herald]!

As Shi Jian sent the card in his hand to the target, he seemed to already see the scene of defeating You Yang.

However, just as Shi Jian began to think about how to continue the story, he discovered...

Even though he had sent the Gem Knight card to the graveyard, his own Gem Knight: Prism was now lying on the ground again.

Meanwhile, the workers outside the field were slumped on the ground, their bodies trembling.

They had just seen Shi Jian's [Gem Knight - Prism Crystal] glow with golden light, intending to destroy the [Destiny Hero Destroyer Phoenix] on Youyang Field.

The [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] on the Youyang Field finally made a move.

As soon as [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] raised his left hand slightly, an unnamed pressure came toward [Gem Knight - Prism Crystal] on the stone field.

The golden light that was supposed to be used to destroy the Wandering Sun Monster on [Gem Knight - Prism Crystal] vanished instantly.

【Gem Knight: Prism】was also forced to kneel down by this power.

"What happened now?!"

Faced with Shi Jian's renewed questioning.

You Yang smiled and said calmly:

"You don't actually think that the monster I summoned with all that effort is just a blank slate, do you?"

"The effect of [Destiny Heroes Blood Demon - D] is in effect!"

"As long as this card is in the Monster Zone, the effects of face-up monsters on your opponent's field are negated."

"What did you say?!"

Shi Jian was taken aback. He could handle a simple reduction in attack power, but the fact that all the monsters on his field had their effects nullified was a different story.

Can I really take down two of Youyang's terrifying [Destiny Heroes]?

Shi Jian was unaware of this; he felt there was absolutely no hope of victory.

But in order to avoid going down the most desperate path, I gritted my teeth and continued:

"I activate the effect of [Gem Knight Obsidian] which I just entered the graveyard."
