Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

The duel between the boy named Yusei and the duel monkey SAL seems to bring him satisfactory data.

"Um... um..."

Looking at the old man who was staring at the duel between Youxing and the monkey, the sturdy man hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly loosened his clenched fists and gave up the idea of ​​directly attacking the monkey.

Just like that, under the gazes of everyone with their own thoughts, the duel between Youxing and SAL Monkey officially began!

"I'm going to fight! Duel!"

Accompanied by the sound of waves hitting the reefs, Youxing raised the duel disk in his hand.

"……duel!"

As Youxing shouted, the indicator light on the monkey's device began to flash, broadcasting the monkey's thoughts through voice.

"Wow! The monkey actually spoke!" Looking at the monkey spirit speaking human language in front of him, Maruto Sho's jaw dropped to the ground... Just now he thought this monkey was nothing big, but he was immediately slapped in the face...

"Hehehe...all the conversations about the duel have been written into the program!" Looking at the shocked expression on Marufuji Sho's face, the old man couldn't help but let out a smug laugh.

I let you underestimate my research results just now, now you know you are wrong! Wahahahahahahahahaha…

"Eh? Is that so..." After listening to the old man's explanation, Youxing realized that the monkey in front of him seemed to possess certain strength, and an expression of interest appeared on his face.

If it is true as the old man said, that the monkey in front of him is equipped with a duel AI system, then Youxing has to be careful. Who knows, when he is careless, the monkey brother on the opposite side may suddenly give him a surprise...

"My turn, draw a card!"

Yusei, who took the initiative to attack, looked at the card he had just drawn, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

The native monsters of the [Hero] deck are not suitable for attacking first, so at this time, it is the turn of the plug-in system to come on stage!

Looking at the monkey who was still in a daze, Yusei, with a sinister smile (? ) on his face, directly slapped a monster in his hand onto the Duel Disk.

"I Normal Summon from my hand——[Summoner Aleister]!"

216 Scumbag, you are here!

"Come out! My good brother——Aleister~~~"

With a long tail tone, Yusei called out the name of the stud man who could merge with almost anyone.

Following Youxing's call, Aleister, the great sage of the code who came from the Magic Academy Lamaison in the duel elf world, appeared on the duel field again after a long time. He was wearing a white robe and had signed contracts with summoned beasts from various worlds and dimensions.

The last time Aleister appeared was when Yusei beat up Manjomu in their first duel.

In that duel, Yusei directly fused the light car - [Summoned Beast Merkaba], and used his supreme power to invalidate and eliminate the hand trap [Kite Robot] that Manjomu used to protect himself, thus winning the duel.

This time, while searching for Manzhangmu, Yusei unexpectedly dueled with the monkey and drew this monster card again.

As long as there are monster cards in his hand, Aleister will never lack materials for fusion.

"Activate the effect of [Summoner Aleister]! This card can only be activated when it is Summoned or Flipped. Add 1 [Summoning Magic] from your deck to your hand."

Yusei opened his right hand towards the monkey in front of him and activated Aleister's search effect.

"I know, I know!"

Hearing Youxing's shout, Aleister sighed helplessly, then adjusted the half-circle glasses on his face, closed the Holy Book of Law in his right hand, turned around and raised the staff in his left hand towards Youxing.

Along with the faint blue light flickering on the staff, the Fusion Magic Card [Summoning Magic] automatically flew out from the deck area of ​​the duel disk and joined Yusei's hand.

Although there is no protection from the [Rampage Magic Circle] this time, the opponent will not have [Infinite Bubbles], [Effect Veiler], or [Gray Flow], so Youxing can boldly perform the fusion with confidence.

"Hmm? Did this monster just speak?"

Scratching the side of his face, Yugi Judai said uncertainly.

The last time we saw Aleister, he was just an ordinary monster. However, this time he didn't even bother to pretend and started speaking human language.

"Huh? What are you talking about, brother?"

Hearing Yuki Judai mumbling to himself, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but look at him with suspicion.

A talking monkey is outrageous enough...How is it possible that the Duel Monsters also have their own consciousness? This is not a dark game.

Marufuji Sho, who said this, seemed to have forgotten that Hayato's father, Maeda Mazan's monster, had also made drunken remarks many times in duels before...

"This monkey...seems to be using the Continuous Trap Card [DNA Transformation Surgery] and the Spell Card [Wild Release] to achieve a sudden increase in attack power...If that's the case, then I will..."

After thinking it over, Yusei immediately activated the magic card he had just received: "Activate the magic card [Summoning Magic]. I will use the [Summoner·Aleister] on the field and the [Elemental Hero·Liquid Man] in my hand as materials for a Fusion Summon..."

"——Special Summon in Defense Position! [Summoned Beast·Kokutos] (Dragon/Water/6*/ATK 1800/DEF 2900)!"

The giant blue dragon engraved on the [Summoning Magic] card descended here from the ice barrier in another dimension along with the blue magic circle unfolding behind Aleister.

On the chest of [Summoned Beast Kokutos], you can also see a staff that represents the contract and shines with a faint blue light.

"[Summoned Beast Kokutos]... is a water attribute summoned beast of a different type from the previous light attribute [Summoned Beast Merkaba]!"

Looking at the blue dragon that Yusei summoned from the extra deck, Yuki Judai couldn't help but show an excited expression.

"I activate the second effect of the Spell Card [Summoning Magic] in the Graveyard. If this card is in the Graveyard, I can activate this effect by targeting 1 of my [Summoner Aleister] that I banished. Return this card in the Graveyard to the Deck, and add the monster that was targeted to my hand."

"Ambush a card, end of turn." Yusei summoned an Iron Wall monster with extremely high defense and recovered Aleister from the banished area. He turned his attention to the monkey on the opposite side and said, "Go! It's your turn next!"

(Yusei's hand number: 6 → 3)

[Summoned Beast Kokutos] will not be targeted by the opponent's effects, nor will it be destroyed by the opponent's effects. In addition, it can attack in defense position. Even the heavy warriors who saw it were very knowledgeable...

If the monkey on the opposite side wants to destroy Kokutos, he must choose to summon a monster with an attack power of 2900 or more.

"Pfft...!"

The monkey, feeling threatened by the [Summoned Beast Kokutos], put on a serious expression.

“Please! Come and save me quickly… I feel like I’m going to fall…”

And Junko, who was not far behind it, saw the monkey leaving her side and once again cried for help to Youxing and the others.

"Don't worry! Junko, Yusei is punishing that monkey!"

"That's right! Just wait patiently. Once you defeat this monkey, we will come to rescue you!"

"It would be nice if it were this way..."

To Junko, who was sitting on a tree trunk on the edge of the cliff with a worried look on her face, Yuki Judai and Marufuji Sho each spoke words of comfort, while Baihui, who was Junko's best friend, tilted her head and said some meaningful words.

"My turn, draw a card!"

The monkey drew a card from the deck and turned his attention to the cards in his hand.

From his perspective, he can see through the red lenses the various attributes of the cards in his hand, as well as the current health status of both parties represented by the banana pattern.

"Defense... 2900?" As the red lens on the monkey's head flashed, the monkey, who had finished thinking, decisively slapped a monster in his hand onto the duel disk: "Attack Position Summon [Angry Ape] (Beast Tribe/Earth/4 Star/ATK 2000/DEF 1000)!"

As the monkey's voice fell, a monkey about two or three meters in size, with flames in its eyes, appeared in everyone's sight along with a flash of white light.

The monkey patted the strong muscles on his chest and roared angrily at the [Summoned Beast Kokutos].

"Ah, this... the Close Relatives deck belongs to..."

Looking at the [Angry Ape] that appeared in front of him, Youxing couldn't help but complain.

217 Familiar Development

"What? A 4-star monster... with an attack power of 2000? Are you kidding me..."

After seeing the 1900-star monster [Death Knight] with an attack power of 4 summoned by Manjome, Marufuji Sho once again shouted in surprise.

"Low-star, high-attack monsters like this either have restrictions on their appearance or have certain negative effects..." Asuka took out a device from her pocket and began to look up the card effects of [Angry Ape].

"Beast Tribe... 4 stars... Earth attribute... Attack power 2000..."

"Ah! Found it!"

Asuka, who had retrieved the card information, showed the device in her hand to the people around her.

"[Angry Ape] will be destroyed when in face-up Defense Position, and must attack when it can attack... What... Isn't this a self-destructing monster?"

Marufuji Sho was frightened by the 2000 attack power of [Angry Ape]. After learning about its various limitations, he couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

"Attack power 2000... But if it's just this level, it won't be able to break through the defense of [Summoned Beast Kokutos]!"

Yuki Judai, who was watching the battle, immediately set a flag for Yusei.

The defense of [Summoned Beast Kokutos] is 2900 points, and the attack power of [Angry Ape] is 2000 points. The monkey that summoned this monster must let it attack.

In the current situation, the monkey who launches the attack will only suffer 900 points of counter-damage!

However, a monkey equipped with an AI system would naturally not make such a stupid move for no reason. It must have its own considerations for doing so.

"Is it coming? That self-destruct magic card!"

Yusei thought of a possible possibility and whispered silently.

Speaking of cards that can make Beast monsters explode instantly, we cannot avoid the magic card that can achieve an instant explosion at the cost of self-destruction and overdraw its own potential - [Wild Liberation]!

"At this time, I will activate the magic card [Wild Release] in my hand!"

Yusei's vague premonition became reality before his eyes. He summoned a Beast-type monkey and then activated the magic card in his hand against the [Angry Ape] on the field. This was the [Wild Liberation] that Hayato had used on the [Lord of OZ] when he was fighting his father before!

"Activate by selecting 1 Beast-Type or Beast-Warrior-Type monster on the field. Increase the ATK of the selected Beast-Type or Beast-Warrior-Type monster by the DEF value of that monster. The monster affected by this effect is destroyed during the End Phase."

"The monster I chose... is naturally the [Angry Ape]!"

Just as the card illustration of [Summoning Magic] shows the majestic [Summoned Beast Kokutos] emerging from the blue magic circle, the card illustration of [Wild Unleashed] also shows the [Angry Ape] roaring violently while stepping on rocks.

Whether it was intentional or not, Yusei and Monkey both summoned the monsters from the magic card diagram in tacit understanding during this duel...

As the magic card was activated, the monkey, who was blessed with great power, began to develop red fighting spirit on the surface of his body like a burning flame.

The muscles all over the body bulged, and the [Angry Ape]'s original size of two or three meters suddenly increased to four or five meters, reaching the point where it could reach the same height as the low-rise buildings...

([Angry Ape]'s attack power: 2000 → 3000)

"Puchi! Fight! [Angry Ape] attacks [Summoned Beast Kokutos]!"

The monkey danced with its limbs and shook its head, and gave attack instructions to the summoned beasts on the star field.

3000 points of attack power is enough to break through Kokutos's 2900 points of defense!

After the wildness was released, the [Angry Ape], who had already been unable to restrain himself, pounded his chest after hearing the monkey's command, and directly turned the fire of anger in his chest into substance. He opened his mouth and spit out a raging column of fire in the direction of [Summoned Beast Kokutos]...

"Oh no! The summoned beast that Yusei summoned with great difficulty is about to be killed!"

Looking at the pillar of fire rushing towards the [Summoned Beast Kokutos], Marufuji Sho couldn't help but let out an anxious cry.

"..."

Glancing at the trap card [Hero Mark] lying in ambush in his backfield with the corner of his eye, Yusei thought for a moment and then gave up on activating the effect of the monster card [Summoner: Aleister] in his hand, which had the effect of "discarding this card from your hand, and increasing the attack and defense of a Fusion Monster on your field by 1000 points each until the end of the turn."

Although Yusei can activate the monster effect of Aleister in his hand to increase the defense of [Summoned Beast Kokutos] to 3900 points, thereby turning Monkey's self-destruct attack into a self-destruction attack, on the other hand, he cannot trigger the special summon effect of the face-up card [Hero Mark].

Just like that, the pillar of fire, carrying the raging rage of the Angry Ape, burned the giant dragon body of Kokutos into ashes.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

The [Summoned Beast Kokutos] that gradually disappeared in the flames did not let out a miserable wail like the monsters that were destroyed in the previous duel. Instead, it opened its red eyes and grinned at the monkey that issued the attack command, revealing a strange smile that was unclear...

Do you think you're done by destroying me?

Innocent!

Now it’s just the beginning!

What awaits you next will be a terrifying heroic explosion!

The expression on the face of [Summoned Beast Kokutos] seemed to be mercilessly mocking the monkey...

Kokutos who appeared here was just an avatar summoned from another dimension in compliance with the contract concluded with Aleister. Even if it was destroyed, it would not have any impact on the original body!

"Cheer up, Yusei!"

Asuka said something contradictory to Yusei who seemed to be in crisis, which was either ironic or encouraging: "If you lose to a monkey... you will really leave a black history that can't be washed away... At that time, you will be like Manjome and can't stay in the Duel Academy anymore..."

“Heh… At the moment when [Summoned Beast Kokutos] is destroyed in battle, I activate the ambush card in the backfield – [Hero Mark]!”
