Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

After receiving the order from Asuka, the Trident Dragon and the Proclaimer of Divine Light immediately turned their attention, locked onto Yusei's direction, and began to accumulate energy for the attack.

"First, it's the direct attack of the [Ice Barrier Dragon Trident] - Sky Dragon Snow Prison!"

Facing the impending flying snow attack from the Trident Dragon, Yusei finally managed to counterattack at this time: "Activate Ambush Card! - Trap Card [Explosive Armor], destroy the monster you attack!"

Aiming at the trident dragon attacking in front of him, Yusei opened the cover card in the backcourt!

It is the cursed card that makes anyone who uses it kneel down and has never been successfully exploded!

"Ku-da-da (useless), Yusei! I activate the effect of [Divine Light Herald] and discard [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] from my hand, thereby negating the activation of your Trap Card and destroying it!"

Asuka seemed to have anticipated Yusei's behavior and directly waved her hand to activate the card counter effect of the second brother of the Announcer.

And then, the [Explosive Armor] that had never hit anyone before was negated and sent to the graveyard.

"Hehehehe... This is exactly the moment I've been waiting for! Asuka!" Seeing that his trap card was invalidated, there was not much disappointed expression on Youxing's face.

It was as if the scene at this moment was exactly what he expected.

"Chain your [Proclaimer of Divine Light], I open my second ambush card - [Divine Punishment]! Discard a card from your hand to negate the effect of the Effect Monster and destroy it!"

The second Trap Card was activated as Yusei stretched out his arm.

On the trap card image, there is a Cannon Soldier being bombarded by thunder.

"It's useless! I will activate [Proclaimer of Divine Light] again and..."

Asuka paused when she reached this point, and her raised arm froze in mid-air.

Because, at this moment, the [Proclaimer of Divine Light] did not shine with seven colors of light again as she expected, activate its own effect, invalidate and destroy Yusei's trap card, but just floated there stupidly.

It was as if it hadn't heard Asuka's instructions at all.

"Why? Why didn't my monster's effect activate? I have an Angel-type monster in my hand, Extraterrestrial Life."

Asuka couldn't help but open her eyes wide and exclaim at the incredible situation happening before her eyes.

It's clearly an unsolvable combination, so why would something go wrong at this time?

Just a little bit, just a little bit and I would win!

Can't understand...

"Hehehe...Asuka, you don't understand, right? Then let me tell you!"

With a smug smile on his face, Yusei, who was on the verge of defeat and was almost defeated by Asuka, slowly explained: "The reason why the effect of [Proclaimer of Divine Light] was not activated is because... [Heavenly Punishment] is a noble three-speed counterattack trap card!"

"According to the rules of the duel, the effect of the second-speed [Divine Light Herald] cannot be chained to the third-speed Counter Trap Card to activate its effect! In other words, your [Divine Light Herald] will be destroyed by the effect of [Divine Punishment] next!"

"What?" Asuka, who had just reacted after hearing Yusei's explanation, suddenly opened her eyes wide: "...It's actually a Counter Trap Card!"

"That's it!"

Sending a card from his hand to the graveyard as a cost, Yusei slowly raised the corners of his mouth when he saw the surprised expression on Asuka's face: "Disappear! [Proclaimer of Divine Light]!"

Suddenly, golden thunder cut through the darkness from top to bottom, bombarding the [Proclaimer of Divine Light] and annihilating its figure into golden particles of light.

Thus, under Asuka's gaze, the [Proclaimer of Divine Light] returned to heaven.

“【Proclaimer of Divine Light】…”

Asuka muttered the name of the departing monster, her eyes fixed, but she quickly adjusted her mindset: "But... my attack is not over yet."

Although [The Herald of Divine Light] was destroyed, there is still a trident dragon with an attack power of 2700 on Asuka's field.

Asuka came to her senses and once again gave Yusei an order to increase her attack power: "The battle continues, Trident Dragon attacks Yusei directly!"

Snowflakes mixed with ice fragments swept across the sky. The impact from the Trident Dragon's Snow Prison took away 2700 of Youxing's health points.

"……Well!"

(Youxing LP: 4000 → 1300)

After Turtleman was sent to another dimension by the effect of Trident Dragon and [Spherical Chestnut Ball] was sent to the graveyard as the cost of [Divine Punishment], Yusei only had one card left in his hand.

Therefore, he had no effective response plan to the attack of the trident dragon at this time and could only take the blow hard.

"What a shame...I'm going to end my turn like this."

Asuka sighed with some regret for not being able to defeat Yusei in this round.

"Next, it's my turn!"

The invisible restrictions were lifted, and the pressure from the [Proclaimer of Divine Light] disappeared from in front of him.

Yusei, who was liberated, resisted the urge to shout to the sky and suddenly drew a card from the deck.

"I Normal Summon [Elemental Hero: Solid Man] in Attack Position, then activate its effect to Special Summon [Elemental Hero: Sky Man] from my hand!"

The hero wearing steel armor pulled out the Sky Man who died of overwork from Yusei's hand.

Asuka: "...Skyman?!"

"Skyman has the effect of destroying Magic and Trap Cards equal to the number of [Hero] monsters on the field other than this card when Summoned or Special Summoned successfully!"

Yusei slapped the monster in his hand onto the Duel Board, then raised his arm in the direction of Asuka: "Therefore, at this time, I activate the effect of Skyman to destroy the Magic Trap Card that you have ambushed in the backfield!"

The card that Yusei was pointing at was the card that Asuka had ambushed on the field in the first turn, along with [Sacrificial Seal Mask].

As Yousei finished his words, Skyman raised his wings and his arms, then projected a small tornado in the direction of Asuka, destroying the cover card in front of her.

-

[Fusion failed]

(Usually a Trap Card)

Effect: Activate when a Fusion Monster is Special Summoned. All Fusion Monsters on the field return to the Fusion Deck.

-

The Trap Card that specifically targets Fusion Monsters was destroyed by Skyman's effect.

301 The Glorious King Who Cuts Off Fate

"【Fusion failed】 is still okay..."

Looking at the Gaigao destroyed by Skyman, Youxing couldn't help but sigh.

With this cover card, whenever Yusei intends to perform a Fusion Summon or use the effect of [Masquerade] to pull out the Friend-Man from the Extra Deck, he will immediately receive a surprise from Asuka...

The moment you summon a Fusion Monster, you are forced to bounce it back into the deck.

A true fusion failure!

"……Well!"

Affected by the wind pressure, Asuka instinctively reached out to hold down the hem of her skirt, and then cast an angry and embarrassed look in the direction of Yusei.

"Uh...wait! Something seemed to be wrong just now!"

Yusei, who was being stared at by Asuka, was scratching his head in embarrassment, and suddenly remembered something.

In the previous chain reaction, because [The Herald of Divine Light] was negated by [Heavenly Punishment], the effect of [Explosive Armor] should continue to be processed and destroy the attacking [Ice Barrier Dragon Trident].

However, the reality was that the trident dragon was not only not destroyed, but it took away more than half of Youxing's health through direct attacks.

"Well... there is nothing wrong with what you said."

Noticing Yusei's action, Asuka on the opposite side smoothed her long golden hair that was messed up by the wind and explained: "Because the [Proclaimer of Divine Light] left the field and the number of monsters changed, the attack of the Trident Dragon was also rolled back accordingly."

"And when the effect of [Explosive Armor] was activated, I sent this card to the Graveyard instead of [Ice Barrier Dragon Trident]."

Asuka said this, reached out and took out a card from the graveyard, showing it to Yusei.

-

【Attack Curtain】

(Continuous Magic Card)

Each of the ① and ② effects of this card name can be used once per turn.

①: If a card you control is destroyed by battle or your opponent's card effect, you can destroy this card instead of the destroyed card.

②: If a card on your opponent's field is destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish this card from your Graveyard as a replacement for the destroyed card.

-

On the card, the Vampire Daughter showed an elegant figure trying to draw down a black curtain to block out the moonlight.

“【Attack-blocking Curtain】…”

If it is this card, it can indeed replace the Trident Dragon to withstand the damage of a single effect.

Yusei was slightly stunned when he saw this card: "Uh... when was this card activated? Why don't I have any recollection of it?"

"Before the attack, I had secretly activated this card." Asuka pursed her lips and explained.

As for why Asuka chose to keep the [Ice Barrier Dragon Trident] instead of the [Proclaimer of Divine Light]...

"I've thought about it. You might be able to summon the [Elemental Hero Skyman] with an attack power of 1800. Even if you save the [Proclaimer of Divine Light], there's a high chance that it will be traded for your Skyman... Instead of that, it's better to keep the Trident Dragon with a higher attack power."

"I see." Yusei nodded at Asuka, sorted out his thoughts, and then turned his attention back to his own field.

After killing the Declarer's second brother and freeing himself.

Next, it was Yusei's turn to unfold.

"Yusei, I have 3000 HP left, and there is also a [Ice Barrier Dragon Trident] with 2700 ATK on the field... and you only have two [Hero] Low-Level monsters in attack position on the field."

Asuka's lips curled up slowly as she spoke, a knowing smile quietly emerged on her face: "How are you going to beat me in this situation?"

"Hehe... Soleiwado Kana (You never know)!"

Facing Asuka's question, there were only two [Hero] low-level monsters left on the field, and both the hand and the face cards were 0. Yusei, who had no resources in the graveyard, slowly said: "...The formula for victory has already been gathered in my hands!"

"Asuka, I won this duel!"

"What did you say...?" Seeing the smile gradually appearing on Yusei's face, Asuka's smile froze on her face when she heard these words.

With a hero deck that has no fusion magic cards and only two four-star low-level monsters, how does Yusei plan to defeat himself?

Is it possible...

"My battle begins here!"

Yusei slowly stretched out his arm towards the void in front of him: "I will stack the level 4 [Elemental Hero Skyman] and the level 4 [Elemental Hero Solidman] Oubalei! Use these two monsters to build a hyper network!"

A golden vortex representing the Xyz Summoning appeared in front of Yusei.

Then, under Asuka's gaze, the figures of Sky Man and Solid Man were wrapped in light, and together they turned into a new brilliance and plunged into the golden vortex.

"Yusei's... Xyz Summoning?!" Asuka widened her eyes when she saw Yusei performing his first Xyz Summoning.

It's not the usual Fusion, but an XYZ Summon that stacks two monsters of the same level!

“Come here, clothed in shining light, wielding a golden sword! The glorious king who cuts off fate!”

"Extreme Summon——[Heroic Champion Shining Sword King]!!!"

-

[Heroic Champion Shining Sword King]

(Warrior / Light / Tier 4 / Attack 2500 / Defense 2000)

XYZ/Effect: 4 Warrior-type Level 2 monsters

You can only use the effects of ②③ of this card name once per turn.

①: The opponent cannot select other monsters as attack targets.

②: You can activate this card only after paying your Life Points to 500. At the start of this turn's Battle Phase, select 1 monster on your side of the field and double its ATK.

③: When your opponent's monster declares an attack, remove 1 XYZ Material from this card, and target 1 face-up monster on your opponent's field. This card gains an attack equal to that monster's attack until the end of this turn.

-

Along with the calling of the wandering stars, a dazzling golden light suddenly spread and dispelled the surrounding darkness.

A warm and soft light, accompanied by a king wearing golden armor and holding a golden sword inlaid with red pyroxene, appeared in front of Yusei and Asuka.
