Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

Youxing really couldn't understand the other person's thinking.

"As long as [Demon Manifestation] exists in the Monster Zone, the card name is also used as [Demon Summon]. As long as this card is on the field, the attack power of [Demon Summon] on your field increases by 500 points! When [Demon Manifestation] is sent to the Graveyard, you can select a [Demon Summon] from your hand, deck, or graveyard to Special Summon!" Naki announced the effect of [Demon Manifestation] in one breath.

The [Fusion] that was used just now, along with the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and [Devil Summon] that served as materials, were all directly excluded from the game due to the effect of Friend-Man.

Naki now has no graveyard, so the last words effect of [Devil's Appearance] cannot be activated.

It is equivalent to a normal monster with an attack power of 3000.

The monster that Naki fused by spending 3 cards posed no threat to Yusei.

But Naki himself was completely unaware of this.

Just like his initial reaction, Naki only had eyes for the monsters on his own field, whose attack power was higher than that of the Friend-Man on Yusei's field.

As for Youxing's terrifying backfield, he simply ignored it.

This also laid the groundwork for his subsequent defeat.

038 Hero Flash

None of the red pits that Youxing had prepared out of thorough consideration were used.

It's not that he can't use it, but the opponent in front of him is not worthy of him using this tactic...

"Let's fight! [Devil Appears] attacks [Masked Hero Dark Claw]!" After successfully completing the fusion summon, Naki decisively entered the battle phase.

The demon appeared and raised his strong right hand. In his palm, a ball of light flashing with lightning began to gather. Then he threw the ball of light to the location where the Dark Claw was.

The battle phase is divided into two parts: the declaration phase and the damage calculation phase.

When the card changes during the declaration phase, the attack can be revoked. For example, if the target of the attack leaves the field due to an effect, the attack declaration can be withdrawn because the target is lost. You only need to select a new target to declare the attack.

The attack cannot be canceled during the damage calculation phase, so this is the best time to use effects to increase attack power.

Youxing waited for the damage calculation phase to arrive, and decisively used the effect of [Elemental Hero Sincere New Yuxia] in his hand.

"At this time, I activate the effect of [Elemental Hero Sincere New Yuxia] in my hand, discard this card from my hand, and activate it by targeting a [Hero] monster on the field. That monster's ATK increases by 2500 points until the end of the turn! This effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn!"

With the help of Sincere Xin Yuxia, the attack power of [Masked Hero Dark Claw] has increased from the original 2400 points to the current 4900 points, which is much higher than the 3000 points of attack power of the devil appearing.

Naki: “Nani? (What?)”

Suddenly, white wings grew out of the back of the Masked Hero Dark Claw. He flapped his wings and quickly dodged the incoming thunder ball, then dived towards where the Devil Appeared.

"Hero Flash!!!" [Devil Appears] was brought into the sky by a diving kick from Friend Man, and then shattered by the impact. Naki was hit by the attack and half-knelt on the ground. His health was also hit by 1900 points. Now his LP has dropped to 2100 points, which is almost the same as Youxing with LP2000 points.

[Demon Manifestation] can Special Summon [Demon Summon] when being sent to the Graveyard, but Naki's Graveyard has been blocked by the effect of Friend Man, so he is unable to activate this Last Words effect.

"It's not over yet!"

Naki did not give up, and now he entered the main phase 2, ready to continue the development.

“我发动手牌里的【狱火机 别西卜】（恶魔族/炎属性/2星/攻击力0/守备力2000）的效果，从手牌里将【狱火机 莉莉丝】（恶魔族/炎属性/9星/攻击力2900/守备力2900）除外，将这张卡特殊召唤！”

Naki finally remembered that he was using the [Inferno Machine] deck.

A demon that looks like a fly appeared on the field, flapping its wings, with multiple arms waving around its waist.

Beelzebub's appearance is simply a nightmare for people with trypophobia...

"The effect of Hellfire Machine Beelzebub is activated. Once per turn, it can only be activated by targeting a face-up card on the opponent's field. That card returns to the owner's hand! Of course, my choice is [Masked Hero Dark Claw]!" At this time, Naki barely had some self-cultivation of a villain. He stretched out his right hand, pointed in the direction of Friend-Hero, and planned to activate the effect of Beelzebub.

"Your judgment is good, but you're still a little immature!" After hearing the effect of [Hellfire Machine Beelzebub], Yusei prepared to use the cover card in the backfield.

"I activate the Counter Trap Card [Divine Notice], pay 1500 life points, negate the effect of [Inferno Machine Beelzebub] and destroy it!"

(Yusei's LP: 2000 → 500)

The mighty light of God appeared on the field and swallowed up Beelzebub, the Lord of Flies, in an instant, and then disappeared from the field along with the monsters.

"...Huh?" Naki still maintained the posture of opening his right hand, motionless. All his movements had been cut off by Yousei.

He looked at the last card in his hand. It was a [Inferno] monster that could not be Normal Summoned. There were no resources in the graveyard, the field was blank, and the cards in his hand could not be used...

Now, he can only choose to end the turn and wait to be directly attacked by Yusei's monster in the next turn.

"The...round...is...over..." Naki lowered his head and looked at the ground, as if he couldn't believe his current situation.

"It's my turn! Draw a card!" Yusei didn't care about Naki's mood. After Naki announced the end of his turn, he decisively drew a card from the deck.

The card drawn was [Elemental Hero Skyman], which could search for [Hero] monsters in the deck, but at this point, there was no need to summon him out.

"Dark Claw makes a direct attack on Naki!"

Yusei ordered a direct attack on the [Masked Hero Dark Claw] on the field. After receiving the order, Dark Claw rushed towards Naki and knocked him away with a punch. Naki's health points also dropped to 0 with Dark Claw's attack. Yusei won this duel!

"Nothing more than that!" This was Youxing's evaluation of the duel.

After the duel ended, Yousei put away the duel disk and Friend-Man disappeared from the field.

Naki was knocked away by the Dark Claw's attack and was now half lying in the nearby ruins. Since he was wearing heavy armor, Naki did not seem to have suffered any serious damage.

"Damn it! I was defeated by a nameless fool!"

After hearing Youxing's words, he sat up and pounded the ground beneath him hard, complaining.

At this moment, several black tentacles appeared from Naki's duel disk.

The tentacles wrapped Naki tightly in an instant, and then they wrapped him tighter and tighter. Naki didn't even have time to scream before he was crushed into black mud by the tentacles...

A moment later, the tentacles and Naki disappeared out of thin air from Youxing's sight, and two cards fell where Naki had been.

Yusei walked up to the cards, picked them up and looked at them. They were the monster cards [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and [Devil Summoning] that Naki had just used.

"Does this mean...killing monsters and getting equipment?"

"Could it be that what I just did was a dark duel, the kind where you will die if you lose?"

Yusei put the card he picked up into his pocket and began to think about the current situation.

Naki, who was just defeated, was just a soldier under the Overlord. There must be someone more powerful than him.

Naki seemed to have heard of his name.

The young man just now has escaped the pursuit and is temporarily safe now. It seems that he belongs to a resistance force.

……

...

-【*

In Youxing's opinion, this series of problems are mysteries that cannot be solved for the time being.

This is also true for the dream world itself.

039 Do people who play Friend Hero have no friends?

"Naki...actually lost to this kid!"

The winged humanoid scout hovering in the air witnessed the entire duel between the two.

After Naki was knocked away by the Masked Hero Dark Claw and his LP returned to 0, the scout decisively chose to flee from here, probably intending to report the situation here to his superiors.

After Yusei collected the card dropped by Naki, he walked around the area for a while.

This world is full of ruins.

From time to time, there were unknown monsters patrolling and wandering in the sky. No human figures were found within the range visible to the naked eye, and it seemed that they had all been destroyed by the Overlord's men.

However, it is also possible that the survivors hid in the underground space and were not found.

At least the boy that Youxing met seemed to belong to an organization that was resisting the Overlord. This showed that there were still humans in this world, but they could not appear in the outside world openly.

Youxing found a high place in the ruins and looked into the distance.

This time he discovered a strange high-rise building in the distance, and the scout just now also flew in the direction of the building.

It was a tall black tower that reached into the sky, which was out of place with the dilapidated surroundings. Its silhouette could be seen from far away.

From afar, there were countless flying creatures wandering around the tower, and on the backs of some of the creatures, one could vaguely see the figures of humanoid monsters similar to Naki.

Youxing immediately determined that the black tower should be the lair of the "Overlord" mentioned by Naki.

The Naki just now was a soldier directly under the Overlord, and his mission was to hunt down the boy who was a member of the resistance army.

For Naki, this operation was originally just a simple hunt, as easy as a cat catching a mouse.

However, You Xing, who showed up unexpectedly, ruined his plan, and even he lost his life due to the backlash of his failed duel.

Naki was swallowed by tentacles in front of Yusei, and the Overlord should also learn the news from the scouts.

I guess they will respond soon, and by then there might be stronger enemies coming. We should retreat now...

As Youxing looked towards the tower, he also felt someone's gaze from inside the tower.

It was an indescribable feeling. Logically speaking, at such a long distance, one should not be able to see any details, but Youxing's intuition told him that someone was indeed watching him.

The duel between Yusei and Naki generated a huge amount of energy in the ruins.

Especially with the blessing of the effect of [Sincere New Universe Man], the attack power of Friend Man soared to 4900 in the final blow. While defeating [Demon Manifestation] and inflicting huge damage to Naki, it also caused the entire venue to shake.

The impact brought about a huge noise, which could not have failed to attract other creatures.

It is estimated that it won’t be long before not only Overlord’s troops but also people from other forces will come to check out the situation here.

Now that the duel was over, Youxing had no reason to stay here any longer. He immediately made a decision, withdrew his gaze, and prepared to leave the ruins.

Before leaving, he turned around and looked at the tower again. The feeling of being watched by someone had disappeared at this moment.

The sight just now seemed to be just Youxing’s illusion.

Youxing shook his head, dispelled the doubts in his mind, turned and walked towards the boy.

The boy just stood up to protect a stranger like me, and now I should lend a helping hand to the unconscious boy.

Youxing helped the boy up, found a relatively hidden room nearby, and left the boy there. When he left, he also found some stones and plants around to cover the entrance.

In this way, the boy was temporarily safe.

After finishing all this, Youxing wiped the sweat from his head and found a place to sit down and rest.

He knew that he was in a dream world, but he didn't know how to get out of it. It couldn't be like in the anime, where he had to die in this world to return to the world where Yui and Ria were...

Just as he began to think about the next arrangements, he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and passed out.

From the perspective of outsiders, Youxing just disappeared from this world out of thin air.

-------------------

On a palace balcony somewhere on a high floor of the black tower, there stood a man wearing a black horned helmet, a demon mask on his face, a red cloak, and his entire body covered in red and black armor. On his left hand, he wore a hideous-looking black duel disk.

The man was nearly 1.80 meters tall. At this moment, he had his hands behind his back, staring at the endless ruins as far as the eye could see.

Looking down from where he was, he could clearly see almost everything nearby.

The man looked towards the place where the huge duel energy was generated just now, and met Yusei's eyes from a distance.

Behind the man, a humanoid creature wearing a huge horn helmet and heavy black armor was half-kneeling, conveying the information sent by the scout to the man: "Report to His Majesty the Overlord! According to the information just sent by the scout, Naki seems to have been defeated by a duelist who controlled a [Hero] monster!"

“Oh?” The man named “Overlord” withdrew his gaze and turned to the direction behind him, seeming to be interested in this topic.

"According to the intelligence, the one that generated huge energy just now seems to be a monster named [Masked Hero Dark Claw]!" The creature wearing a huge bull-horned helmet continued.

"Dark Claw...Friend Hero?" Overlord placed his left hand on his chin, as if he had thought of something.

He pulled out a card from the duel disk in his left hand. That card was also [Masked Hero Dark Claw], exactly the same as the monster controlled by Yusei.

"You mean, the duelist who defeated Naki used the same [Masked Hero] deck as me?" The Overlord had a mask on his face, so his specific expression couldn't be seen, but from his tone, one could sense a hint of surprise.

"...That's right." The creature wearing a giant helmet with bull horns hesitated for a moment, but still answered the Overlord's question. As a direct cadre of the Overlord, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had felt the Overlord's emotional fluctuations.

This is enough to prove how great an impact Youxing's behavior has brought to the world.

He then suggested to Overlord: "This duelist seems to have appeared here suddenly. According to the intelligence sent by the scouts, his dueling ability should not be underestimated. I think we should arrange more manpower to solve this hidden danger now!"

"It's okay, Adam, just continue to lead the troops to investigate and eliminate the rebels according to the original plan." The Overlord returned to his calm tone and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to pay too much attention to Youxing.

"But..." The creature called Adam showed a puzzled expression on his face and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it.
