Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"No! You are wrong about this!"

Hearing Yugi Judai's words of relief, the old man stroked his beard with some pride and said, "There are more cards that can increase attack power than just [Wild Release]! For example, the equipment magic [Devil's Axe] can unconditionally increase the equipped monster's attack power by 1000 points. With it, it will be normal for low-star monsters to have more than 2000 attack points!"

“…There is such a thing?!” Shocked by the old man’s words, Yuki Judai couldn’t help but reveal an extremely surprised expression on his face. A monkey equipped with an AI system could actually think to this extent…

"Battle! Acrobatic Monkey attacks Shadow Mist Girl!"

"Acrobatic Monkey Fist!!!"

Just as Yuki Judai was marveling at the power of black technology, the monkey on the duel field had already given an attack order to the [Acrobatic Monkey] whose attack power had skyrocketed to 2800 points.

The acrobatic monkey received the order and pounded his chest with his fists while roaring loudly towards the sky.

It raised its hands above its head and clenched them into fists. As its entire body rose into the air, it made a spinning gesture in mid-air and rushed straight towards the Shadow Mist Girl using the inertia of falling...

The current acrobatic monkey is like an invincible Hot Wheels with no blind spots...

Although there is no flame...

If this attack is successful, it will cause up to 1800 points of damage to Yusei, directly reducing his health by nearly half!

"Yusei!"

"Master Yusei! Be careful!"

Looking at the Hot Wheels attacking towards Shadow Mist Girl, the people behind Youxing couldn't help but make voices full of worry.

In their opinion, Yusei had been in a passive state since his plan of a quick victory was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the [Super Gravity Net], and now he was about to suffer a large amount of damage...

However, what they didn't know was that Youxing's wise eyes had already seen the future.

Whether it is the current crisis or the subsequent solutions, he has already made sufficient preparations.

The reason why I had been holding back before was mainly out of caution, fearing that the monkey would suddenly surprise me...

Now that the monkey has revealed all his cards, there is no need to worry anymore!

"Don't even think about it! At this moment, I will use the ambush card in the backcourt - the quick attack magic [Masked Transformation]!"

Yusei realized that he was fighting wits with the air and entered the Dihua state invisibly. He directly opened the face card in the backfield and activated it, "Send a [Hero] monster on your field to the Graveyard, then Special Summon a [Masked Hero] monster with the same attributes as the monster sent to the Graveyard from the Extra Deck!"

221 Overworked man, come out and work overtime!

“Puchi???”

Facing the monkey with a look of shock, Youxing directly called out the name engraved in its DNA: "Come out - Friend-man!"

"Puchi? ...Friend-man?"

"Ahem... [Masked Hero: Dark Claw] (Attack Power 2400)!"

Clearing his throat, Yusei called out Friendxia's real name.

Following Yusei's call, Shadow Mist Lady's figure was instantly enveloped by white light, and she was replaced by a man-wolf warrior in a werewolf armor... No! It was a werewolf warrior who had changed his race to beastman due to the influence of the [DNA transformation surgery]!

The friend hero before only had the shadow of a werewolf, but when he appeared at this moment, he had completely transformed into a mighty werewolf wearing blue and black hero armor!

"Let's be friends!"

The dark blue armor was covered with black hair, and the werewolf turned into a human friend. He spoke to the acrobatic monkey that was staring at him. It seemed that he really wanted to become good friends with his opponent...

Because a new monster appeared on the field, the Acrobat Monkey's attack has temporarily come to a standstill. Now it can choose to continue attacking Friend Man or withdraw the attack.

Before receiving the monkey's order, the [Acrobatic Monkey] fell from mid-air and took a cautious observation attitude towards his friend Xia who suddenly appeared on the scene.

"At this moment, I activate the monster effect of [Elemental Hero·Shadow Mist Lady]. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can add a [Hero] monster other than [Elemental Hero·Shadow Mist Lady] from my deck to my hand!"

"I chose——【Elemental Hero Skyman】!"

Yusei shows the Skyman he drew from his deck to the Monkey King on the other side, and then adds this card to his hand.

In addition to being able to search the deck for [Hero] monsters when summoned, Skyman also has a second effect, which is that it can destroy the corresponding number of Magic and Trap Cards on the opponent's field based on the number of [Hero] monsters on its field other than this card!

As the most common and indispensable monster in the [Hero] deck, Skyman proudly bears the title of "Death from Overwork".

Not only now, but also in the distant future, his active figure will appear frequently...

"Puchi! Attack power 2400... lower than the attack power of [Acrobatic Monkey] 2800... Well then, I declare to continue the attack!" The monkey saw through the red goggles under the helmet that Friend Man's attack power was only 2400 points, and decisively gave the order to [Acrobatic Monkey] to attack again.

After receiving the order, [Acrobatic Monkey] immediately ended the confrontation with Friend Man, jumped into the air, posed like a Hot Wheels, and rushed straight towards the direction where Friend Man was.

"Heh... naive!" Looking at the [Acrobat Monkey] attacking him again, Youxing's mouth curled up slightly, and then he directly sent the [Summoner Aleister] in his hand into the graveyard and activated its effect.

"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Summoner Aleister] in my hand, sending this card from my hand to the Graveyard, thereby increasing the ATK and DEF of a Fusion Monster on my field by 1000 points each until the end of the turn!"

As Aleister's effect took effect, the outside of Friendman's body was gradually enveloped by blue-green light. With the power of the Great Sage of the Codex, his attack power soared to 3400 points, surpassing the Acrobat Monkey's current attack power of 2800 points!

"Making a monster's attack power skyrocket is not your specialty!"

Extending his right hand in the direction of the monkey, Yousei gave a direct counterattack order to Friend-Man: "Masked Hero Dark Claw! Send the monster on the opposite side directly to another dimension!"

“Hehehehe… Got it!”

Feeling the blessing of great power, the corners of his mouth curled up, with a playful and frivolous smile on his face. Facing the acrobatic monkey Hot Wheels that was attacking him, he directly swung his right fist.

3400 VS 2800... the result is obvious...

The Acrobatic Monkey's selfless attack was blocked by a casual and ordinary punch from the Friend Hero.

"Pfft..."

In the monkey's desperate eyes, the attacked acrobatic monkey was directly frozen in mid-air, the light in its red eyes gradually began to go out, and visible cracks gradually appeared on the surface of its body...

As Friend-Man removed his fist from the monkey's body, the monkey, which had already lost all signs of life, gradually turned into invisible dust in mid-air...

Because of the permanent effect of Friend Man, the destroyed [Acrobatic Monkey] was not sent to the graveyard, but was directly removed from the game...

The monkey felt as if a huge hole was left in his heart after the acrobatic monkey left. He looked dazed and fell off the big rock he was standing on...

"boom!"

The monkey fell flat on his face and lay on the ground, unwilling to get up.

(Monkey's health: 4000 → 3400)

"My turn, draw a card!"

Seeing that the monkey was not moving for a long time and seemed to be confused by the changes of Friend Man, Youxing went straight to his own turn.

Now that the opponent has used all his tricks and there are no other hidden traps, it is Youxing's turn to seize the initiative from Monkey!

"【Fusion】? It seems that this card is no longer needed!" Looking at the card he just got, this thought flashed through Youxing's mind.

Now that the opponent is in an empty field and in a state of severe defensive damage, there is no need to carry out complicated operations.

"Monkey... you deserve praise for not admitting defeat and choosing to fight me head-on, but this is the end of it!"

"This duel ends here. In this round, I will finish you off!"

Yusei, who was holding [Elemental Hero Skyman] in his hand and was about to summon it directly, suddenly noticed the movement coming from beside him.

"Pfft..."

“Chirp…”

At some point, multiple monkeys appeared behind the rocks near the bushes around Yusei and the others.

At this moment, they were looking around with pitiful eyes at Youxing and the monkey who were dueling, and they were making strange noises from their mouths, as if they were calling their companions.

"……what's the situation?"

Looking at the changes happening around him, Youxing, feeling confused, couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

222 At this moment, I will transform into a ruthless card-playing machine!

“Puchi…? Puchi Puchi!!!”

Hearing the calls of his companions, the monkey, who was originally lying on the ground waiting to die, suddenly turned over and climbed up from the ground, waving his limbs towards his companions behind the rock.

"Ah! There are so many monkeys..."

Seeing the monkeys sticking their heads out from the edge of the rock, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but exclaim.

"Could it be that... they saw their companions being bullied, so they planned to attack us together?" Looking at the monkeys who were watching them, Baihui couldn't help but reveal a worried expression on her face.

Compared to humans, monkeys are more flexible, or if such a large group of monkeys rushed over together, they might not be able to stop them...

"Sorry for the trouble... Doctor..."

The strong man who was being stared at by the monkeys couldn't help but look at the old man next to him for help.

The tranquilizer guns in their hands were not enough to deal with so many monkeys, and the current situation did not allow them to shoot at the monkeys that were dueling. Otherwise, if they were not careful, they might anger the monkeys in front of them, leading to unpredictable consequences.

"This is……"

The old man in the lead couldn't help but show a shocked expression when he saw the monkeys.

Could it be that... this monkey ran this way on purpose?

"Curi Curry~~~"

"Curi Curry~~~"

Just as the group was surprised by the sudden appearance of the monkey group, the sound of Kuritama came to the ears of Yusei and Yuki Judai at the same time.

The phantoms of the winged chestnut ball and the spherical chestnut ball appeared next to Yuki Judai and Yusei respectively.

"Really? Is that so?"

Hearing the voice of the Winged Kurikoku, Yuki Judai realized the monkey's purpose and asked the monkey in front of Yusei, "You escaped from the research institute in order to return to your companions, right?"

"Is that so?" Yusei, who also learned about the monkey's thoughts from the spherical chestnut ball, couldn't help but show a sympathetic expression to the monkey in front of him who was being used as an experimental subject.

“Puff!!!”

The monkey stood up from the ground and let out a roar full of sadness towards the two people who asked it questions. Everyone who heard this roar felt the monkey's longing for his companions.

"So this monkey wants to return to his companions..."

"But if Yusei wins, it will have to go back to the research institute..."

"Not only that, it will be severely punished and treated even more cruelly after escaping once... I always feel a little pitiful..."

Listening to the words of Marufuji Sho and Baihui on both sides, Asuka spoke in a firm tone: "Even if this is the case, we can't just leave Junko alone! She is still waiting for us to rescue her!"

"If the monkey returns to his friends, Junko can't be saved. If Junko is saved, the monkey can't return to his friends..." Faced with the train problem in front of him, Maruto Sho couldn't help but hold his head in worry, "Ahh~~~ What should I do!"

"What are you going to do, Yusei..." Looking at the people who were in a state of distress, Asuka couldn't help but turn her gaze to Yusei in the duel arena.

Ever since learning about the monkey's wish, Yusei has remained silent.

"Yusei! You know it, right?"

Seeing Yusei fall silent because of the problem in front of him, Yusei Judai couldn't help but remind him: "No matter when, the duel must be carried out seriously!"

The monkey's experience is certainly sympathetic, but Junko, her companion, is more important than the monkey.

Besides, the sacred duel would not allow such a loose behavior to happen. Yusei, who has regained the initiative, deliberately lost to Monkey here, or forced a draw. This behavior itself is equivalent to an insult to Monkey's spirit as a duelist!

"...I understand." Yusei felt Yuki Judai's will from his words, and his eyes gradually became firm.

Trolley problem or something, get out of my way!

Now I am just a ruthless card-playing machine!

In my eyes at this moment, the only thing left is winning the duel!

"Sorry, monkey!"

Pointing his finger at the monkey in front of him, Yusei made a ruthless gesture as if it was the final judgment and declared: "Just like Judai said, the duel has already begun, no matter what the reason is, there can be no mercy..."

"So, I won this duel!"

Blocking out the scenes around him that might interfere with his determination, Yusei placed the Skyman in his hand on the duel disk according to his previous plan.

"I summon [Elemental Hero Skyman] (Warrior/Wind/4*/ATK 1800/DEF 300) in Attack Position!"

As Yusei finished his words, a hero who died from overwork, wearing a pointed helmet, a blue and white battle suit, and mechanical wings with turbines on his back, appeared in front of Yusei accompanied by a gust of wind.

"Puchi! The effect of the Continuous Trap Card [DNA Transformation Surgery] is activated! Change the Sky Man's race to the Beast Tribe!"

The red lens embedded in the helmet flashed for a while, and the monkey immediately launched the effect of [DNA Transformation Surgery] on Sky Man. Although this action could not have any impact on the current battle situation, the monkey felt Youxing's determination and also made his last struggle towards him!
