The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

[Elemental Heroes: Lightning Warrior - Attack Power 1100]

He then revealed a spell card from his hand: "Next, I target Ocean Warrior as an effect card and activate the Quick-Play Spell Card 'Masked Change' from my hand to Special Summon 'Masked Hero Koga' of the LIGHT attribute."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 5 → 3]

Since fusion doesn't work, he'll try another method.

However, at that moment, Misawa waved his arm again and shouted, "It's no use! Activate the second [Sealing Spell]! By discarding a spell card, negate the effect of [Mask Change] and prevent it from being used in this duel!"

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 2 → 1]

"Nani?!"

Even the effects of the mask transformation were blocked.

Jaden gritted his teeth: "You're something else, you've managed to counter both of my core cards..."

"But then you won't have any cover cards on the field."

So he swung his hand and commanded, "Battle begins! [Elemental Hero Lightning] Attack [Mathematician]!"

At his command, the Spectre channeled the electricity from his body to his metal glove and released it.

Zizzi——! !

The mathematician was instantly scorched by the electric current.

boom!

As the monster exploded, Misawa quickly said, "Because [Mathematician] was destroyed in battle, its special effect is activated, and one card is drawn from the deck."

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 1 → 2]

The two [Sealing Demon Seals] caused Misawa's hand to be greatly depleted, so he is now replenishing his hand.

At this moment, Jaden inserts another card into the Duel Disk: "Finally, set one card face down, end of turn."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 2]

Seeing that Judai could do nothing and the turn ended, Misawa chuckled and said, "As expected, sealing those two magic cards was my best decision."

"..."

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 2 → 3]

After drawing the card, he placed it on the Duel Disk without hesitation: "I summon [Hydrogen Dragon] in Attack Position."

The next second, a jet of muddy water gushed out from beneath his feet, and then the muddy water transformed into a dinosaur with four legs on the ground.

[Hydrogen Dragon: Attack Power 1600]

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 3 → 2]

"Then switch [Diamond Dragon] to attack stance."

Diamond Dragon: Attack Power 2100

Immediately afterward, Misawa clenched his fist and commanded, "Battle begins! [Hydrogen Dragon], attack [Elemental Hero Flash]!"

Hydrogen Dragon then opened its mouth wide, and a jet of muddy water shot out, instantly engulfing Flashman.

boom--!

The lightning bolt was instantly pulverized by the water jet.

"Uh......"

[Yujo Jaden: LP4000→3500]

Misawa continued, "When the special effect of [Hydrogen Dragon] is activated, when this monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can Special Summon another [Hydrogen Dragon] from your Deck."

Hua Hua Hua...

Beside the Hydrogen Dragon, another column of muddy water gushed out and quickly transformed into the shape of a dinosaur.

[Hydrogen Dragon: Attack Power 1600]

"Because this monster was summoned during the battle, I can use it to add to my attacks."

"Go! [Hydrogen Dragon] and [Diamond Dragon], attack Jaden directly!"

If Jaden takes all 3700 points of damage, he will lose.

But he certainly wouldn't let him succeed.

Jaden quickly pressed the button to face down the card, shouting, "At this moment, activate the Trap Card, [Fusion Copy]!"

Chapter 43 The Protection of the Elements

"By using the effect of [Fusion Copy], banish [Fusion] from your Graveyard and gain the effect of that card."

Jaden revealed his two cards directly, saying, "I will fuse Element HERO Liquidman and Element HERO Bubbleman from my hand."

With a flash of golden light, two water-colored warriors appeared on the field and merged into one vortex, releasing a dazzling radiance.

"Fusion Summon! Appear, [Elemental HERO Absolute Zero]!"

As the light faded, a pure white warrior draped in a white cloak descended, accompanied by gusts of extremely cold wind.

【Elemental Heroes Absolute Zero Warrior: Attack Power 2500】

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 0]

Seeing this, Misawa gritted his teeth: "Even with [Fusion] sealed, you can still summon such a powerful ace monster as Absolute Zero. You truly live up to your reputation, Judai."

"However, such methods are ultimately limited. Indeed, there are many cards in your deck that I did not anticipate, but a single Fusion Monster cannot defeat a deck that I have calculated extensively."

Upon hearing this, Judai smiled and said softly, "Is that so... then I'll use methods you can't predict to win you over."

"Absolute Zero's monster effect is that when there is a Water-type monster other than Absolute Zero on the field, this monster's ATK increases by 500 points for each monster on the field."

[Elemental Heroes Absolute Zero Warrior: Attack Power 2500 → 3500]

Seeing the monster's attack suddenly increase, Misawa's pupils shrank: "Its attack power has actually increased to 3500 points?!"

"It's not just that..."

Jaden continued, "The monster effect of [Elemental HERO Liquid Knight] is activated!"

This card can be used as Fusion Material for a [HE] Fusion Monster, and can be activated if it is sent to the Graveyard or banished. Draw 2 cards from your Deck, then discard 1 card from your hand.

After glancing at his two cards, he threw one of them into the graveyard without hesitation.

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 0 → 1]

Misawa looked at his hand but had no other options, so he could only end his turn first.

"My turn! Draw a card!"

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 2]

After drawing the card, Jaden first inserted another card into the Duel Disk: "Activate the Spell Card [Monster Reborn], Special Summon [Elemental HERO Electrify] from the Graveyard in Defense Position."

Om-! !

A golden light flashed, and the figure of the Flash reappeared on the field.

[Elemental Heroes: Lightning Bolt - Defense 1600]

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

He immediately launched an attack: "Battle begins! Absolute Zero Hero attacks Diamond Dragon!"

At his command, Absolute Zero raised his hands, condensing countless ice crystals around them, and then shot them all towards the Diamond Dragon.

boom--! !

Countless ice crystals struck the diamond dragon, causing a powerful explosion that instantly shattered it into dust.

"Hmm, a diamond dragon..."

Misawa Daichi: LP4000→2600

"The last card is covered and the round ends."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 1 → 0]

"How about that, Misawa? Even if you've targeted my deck, I can still control the course of the duel!"

As soon as Jaden finished speaking, Misawa chuckled and replied, "Indeed, your hero deck is very strong, but if I go all out, my chances of winning are still quite high."

"Our battle has only just begun!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 2 → 3]

After glancing at his hand, Misawa placed the card in his left hand and then placed another card on the Duel Disk: "I summon [Oxygen Dragon] in Attack Position."

A green tornado suddenly rose beneath his feet, and then the wind condensed and transformed into the shape of a flying dragon.

[Oxygen Dragon: Attack Power 1800]

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 3 → 2]

"Have they arrived...?"

Looking at the two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms opposite him, Jaden knew what Misawa was going to do.

The latter then drew another card from his hand: "Now I have all the cards. I will activate the spell card [Chemical Combination - H20O] from my hand!"

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 2 → 1]

"Offer two [Hydrogen Dragons] and one [Oxygen Dragon] as sacrifices to create a chemical reaction between the two hydrogens and one oxygen to produce water, and then Special Summon a [Water Dragon]!"

It looked like the three monsters were about to undergo a chemical reaction and combine together.

However, the next moment, Jaden immediately swung his arm and shouted, "Don't even think about succeeding! At this very moment, activate the counter-trap, [Elemental Protection]!"

When a Spell/Trap Card is activated, you can banish 1 face-up Elemental HERO monster you control until the End Phase of this turn. Negate that activation and destroy it.

As the trap card was activated, a blizzard instantly swept around Absolute Zero, obscuring his figure.

"not good!!"

Seeing his magic card erased, Misawa immediately sensed something was wrong.

Jaden clenched his fist excitedly: "It's not over yet! Because of the effect when Absolute Zero leaves the field, all the monsters on the opponent's field are destroyed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blizzard rapidly expanded, covering all the monsters on the field.

Click click click......

The three monsters were quickly frozen into three ice sculptures by the absolute zero cold.

Bang Bang Bang!

The next second, the three ice sculptures shattered into countless ice crystals.

After the field was instantly empty, cold sweat broke out on Misawa's face.

"What a terrifying monster it is, capable of turning the tide in an instant!"

He clenched his fist and continued, "But I won't give up like this..."

As he spoke, he played the card he had drawn that round.

"I activate the spell card [Angel's Charity] from my hand, draw three cards from my deck, and then discard two cards from my hand."

After glancing at the three cards he had drawn, his eyes widened: 'They're here!'

After glancing at the other side, he threw two of them into the graveyard.

Then he revealed the card he had left behind and shouted, "I activate the monster effect of [Deuterium Dragon] from my hand!"

You can activate this effect by discarding this card from your hand during your Main Phase. Add 1 "Chemical Fusion" Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand.

After putting the card into the graveyard, he continued, "I added the trap card [Chemical Combination - DHO] from my deck to my hand and put it face down on the field."

[Misawa Daichi's hand: 1 → 0]

"That concludes my turn."
