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

You can target 1 monster you control to activate this effect. Reveal 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to your opponent. This turn, if you use the targeted monster as Fusion Material, you can use a card with the same name as the monster you revealed as Fusion Material.

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 3 → 2]

"By revealing [Elemental HERO Flamewing], the card name of Electric Knight is treated as Flamewing when used as Fusion Material."

"That completes my preparations..."

Jaden immediately unleashed his Fusion, "I'm fusing the Electric Man and Electro Man on the field, which are like Flame Wingman."

[Yuki Jaden's hand cards: 2 → 1]

The next moment, the two heroes transformed into two bolts of lightning and merged together, releasing a dazzling light.

"Fusion Summon! Appear, [Elemental HERO Flash Flame Wingman]!"

A warrior clad in silver armor emerged from the light and descended before him. The newborn hero possessed a pair of enormous wings and emitted a faint glow.

【Elemental Heroes: Flash Flame Wingman - Attack Power 2500】

Darkness said solemnly, "An elemental hero with 2500 attack power, is this your new ace monster?"

Jaden smiled slightly and replied, "Hehe, isn't it cool?"

"..."

Darkness ignored his naiveté.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Jaden shrugged and then pointed to the glowing object in front of him and said, "It's not just that. The attack power of Flash Flame Wingman is determined by the number of [Elemental HERO] cards in the graveyard. For each card, the attack power increases by 300 points."

"There are five in my graveyard, so my total attack power has increased by 1500 points."

[Elemental Heroes: Flash Flame Wingman - Attack Power 2500 → 4000]

"That concludes my turn."

Chapter Sixty-Four: Shining Heroes vs. Ultimate Dragon

Seeing the hero's body glowing, Asuka thought to herself, 'A hero with 4000 attack power... that monster probably doesn't have a way to defeat it...'

As she was thinking this, Darkness drew a card from her deck without hesitation.

"My turn, draw a card!"

[Darkness cards in hand: 1→2]

Looking at the card he had drawn, he held it in his hand and said in a pretentious manner, "I heard you..."

Hearing this tone, Jaden was a little confused: "Huh?"

"The voices of the dragons sleeping in the graveyard are now reaching out to me."

"What's going on? Why are you suddenly saying all this random stuff?"

Judai frowned, not understanding why Darkness was suddenly showing off like this.

But at this moment...

Ho ho ho—! !

Accompanied by the roar of dragons, four fire dragons suddenly emerged from the volcanic lava, guarding Darkness behind him.

Darkness continued to boast: "Once again, let the scorching flames burn this land, and the ultimate dragon that will fulfill that wish will be awakened here."

"The Ultimate Dragon? Could it be?!"

Jaden quickly came up with a card.

At the same time, Darkness put down the card he was holding in his right hand, then drew another card from his hand and slammed it onto the duel disk: "I summon [Legendary Blackrock] in Attack Position."

[Darkness cards in hand: 2→1]

As he placed the card on the duel disk, the lava beneath their feet broke open, revealing a black stone egg emitting a crimson glow. It then quickly passed through the energy platform and arrived in front of Darkness.

[Legendary Black Stone: Attack Power 0]

Jaden frowned upon seeing this. "The legendary Black Stone?! If we release this card, we can summon a Red-Eyes monster of level 7 or lower from our deck."

"Yes, this is the egg that hatches the red-eyed one."

Darkness Search*←: 叭|啎★∽綺露∧『Si Er sneered and waved his hand, shouting loudly: "The special effect of [Legendary Black Stone] is activated. By offering this monster as a tribute, Special Summon another [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] from the Deck!"

Click click click......

The stone egg's shell cracked rapidly.

boom--!

An explosion rang out, sending up a thick cloud of smoke.

After the smoke and dust cleared, a jet-black dragon appeared before them.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon: Attack Power 2400

Asuka asked worriedly, "Is it coming?"

Judai: “…”

Darkness raised his last card and said coldly, "It's not over yet. My [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] is evolving towards its ultimate form."

"I'm offering the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] as a sacrifice..."

The black dragon then plunged into the lava, and flames erupted once more.

"Appear, [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, flames condensed behind him, transforming into a jet-black dragon with red gems embedded in its body and its claws gone.

【Red-Eyes Dark Dragon: Attack Power 2400】

[Darkness cards in hand: 1→0]

As the dragon appeared, the volcano suddenly erupted, and Jaden and Asuka felt a strong tremor. Six fire dragons flew behind the dark dragon.

"The dragons that slumber underground will become the blood and flesh of the [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon]."

Darkness continued, "The attack power of [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon] increases by 300 points for each Dragon-type monster in your Graveyard."

"I have six in my graveyard, so my attack power has increased by 1800 points."

【Red-Eyes Dark Dragon: Attack Power 2400 → 4200】

Asuka's expression turned grave. 'This is bad. A monster with an attack power of 4200 points can just defeat Jaden's Flash Flame Wingman...'

"Jūdai, fully comprehend the terror of darkness!"

Darkness swung his arm and commanded, "Red-Eyes Dark Dragon, attack Flashfire Wingman! Dark Billion Flames!"

At its command, the Dark Dragon opened its mouth wide, spewing out a flame like magma, which was about to burn the Flame Wingman to ashes.

However, at that very moment, Jaden hurriedly waved his arm and shouted, "This is the moment I've been waiting for! Activate the trap card, [Needle Worm's Nest]!"

"Use this card's effect to send the top five cards of your deck to the graveyard."

"Nani?"

Before Darkness could react, Jaden grabbed five cards from the deck.

The five cards appeared one by one—

—【Elemental Heroes Winged Warrior】,【Necromancer Guardian】,【Fusion Recycling】,【Elemental Heroes Clay Warrior】,【Hero Barrier】.

"Due to the addition of two [Elemental Heroes] in the graveyard, the attack power of the Flash Flame Wingman has increased by 600 points."

[Elemental Heroes: Flash Flame Wingman - Attack Power 4000 → 4600]

"Oops!!"

Darkness immediately sensed something was wrong.

Asuka perked up: "Well done, Judai!"

At this moment, Jaden waved his hand and shouted, "Fight back! Flashfire Wingman, Flash Shot!"

Under his command, the Flash Flame Wingman immediately clenched his hands, and a large amount of light energy gathered between his hands. Then, a green light bullet was summoned and thrown towards the Dark Dragon. The light bullet instantly pushed the flames back and quickly landed on the dragon.

boom--! !

The pitch-black dragon was blasted to pieces in an instant.

"Uh......"

[Darkness: LP1400→1000]

"It's not over yet!"

Jaden continued, "Flash Flame Wingman's effect is the same as Flame Wingman's: when a monster is destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard, it inflicts damage equal to the original ATK of that monster."

"The original attack power of the [Red-Eyes Dark Dragon] is 2400 points, therefore it will deal 2400 points of damage to you."

Darkness panicked immediately: "How could this happen...?!"

At the same time, the Flash Flame Wingman flew in front of him and released a blinding green light.

"Ughh ...

The intense light power was extremely damaging to Darkness, who couldn't help but scream in agony.

[Darkness: LP1000→0]

As Darkness's health points reached zero, flames suddenly erupted from beneath his and Judai's feet, and Judai and Asuka briefly lost consciousness.

If anyone else were here, they would have noticed that the three figures were not burned to ashes, but rather vanished into thin air.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Vampire Attack

The scene shifts, and the volcanic lava scene disappears without a trace.

Jaden and Asuka were teleported to the foot of the volcano, and they quickly regained consciousness.

"Are you alright, Judai?"

"Asuka?"

Judai was about to stand up, but...

"hiss--!"

The pain shooting through his body made him gasp.

"Judai?!" Asuka quickly helped him up. "What's wrong?"

Judai waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "It's nothing. It's probably just a burn from the black flame bullet. It wasn't so bad when I was tense, but now that I've relaxed, it hurts even more. I'll just go to the infirmary and get some burn ointment to apply."

"Really? It's good that you're alright."

Asuka breathed a sigh of relief.

"But this person..."

She turned her head to look at Darkness lying not far away, wondering who he was.

Just then, Jaden seemed to notice something on the ground.

He bent down and picked it up; it was a card, a blank card that had appeared before his duel with Darkness.

As soon as I picked up the card, a pattern gradually appeared on the card, depicting Darkness's mask being sealed by chains.

Asuka frowned and asked, "Is this the soul of Darkness?"

Judai nodded. "That should be it."

With Asuka's help, Judai walked to where Darkness had fallen and then turned him over.

Upon seeing this person's appearance, the two men's expressions changed drastically.

"It turned out to be him?!"

"how so?!"

The person opened their eyes and saw Asuka looking shocked.

"Tomorrow... fragrance..."

After saying those three words, he fainted again.
