Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

543 Enmaru: What about me?

"What? That's Yuki Judai?!"

"Really? Are you really that Yuki Judai?"

After hearing Yuki Judai's self-introduction, both Enmaru and Iwamaru showed shocked expressions on their faces.

After learning the true identity of his opponent, the red-haired man Enmaru gave up his plan to watch the fight and came to the side of the strong man Iwamaru.

"…Hey? What…what happened?"

Looking at the changeable expressions on the two people's faces, Yuki Judai, with a row of question marks on his head, couldn't help but scratch his head in confusion.

What's going on? Why did they suddenly change their expressions? It seems like I haven't seen them before?

"Heh...you ask why?"

Iwamaru snorted coldly, and his attitude changed drastically compared to before. He frowned and said, "That's because we are subordinates of Saiou Misushi, one of the Emperors!"

"...Hyoumaru and Raimaru, who were defeated by you before, are our companions! After losing the duel, they were sealed into the mirror by Master Mishouchi and lost their emperor's power... and now it's our turn! Now... do you know why?"

Yusei: "...Is that so? These two people with the word "Maru" in their names are also in the same group as that group..."

Yusei, who was standing behind Yuki Judai, also showed a look of certainty on his face after hearing the two's explanation.

Originally, after he first learned the names of the two, he had suspected whether their identities were related to the previous Bingwan and Leiwan.

But at that time it was just a suspicion.

However, after the two revealed their identities, his doubts turned into certainty.

"Iwamaru, Enmaru... so this time our opponent is the emperor of the fire and earth attributes, right?"

While stroking his chin and thinking about the opponent's deck composition, Yusei then spoke out his guess: "Judai, it looks like this duel is going to be interesting!"

"Ah...that's what I was thinking!" Waving to Yusei behind him, Yuki Judai immediately prepared for the duel again.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. No matter what... this duel will continue.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The mastermind behind the scenes, Saiou Misatomo, whose real body is inside the shrine, also monitors Enmaru and Iwamaru's every move through the mirror artifact in his hand.

After seeing that they were about to duel with Yuki Judai, Mishouchi noticed this situation and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Oh? This guy Iwamaru... seems to have made things more interesting! I didn't have any expectations for him at first."

"But... the current situation is still a bit boring. I can't feel any sense of crisis from them at all~"

"Why not, let me add a little pressure to them."

There was a gleam in Mishouchi's eyes, as if he had thought of something interesting, and then he gently waved his arms.

The sleeves of the red and white shrine maiden's costume swayed gently, and as Mishouchi moved, an identical mirror suddenly appeared out of thin air on the head of the red-haired man Enmaru on the other side of the mirror.

As it appeared, a strange white light began to emanate from the mirror.

Enmaru, who was illuminated by the light, had no time to react and was sucked in by it in a daze...

"...Enmaru? Master Mijuchi?!"

Seeing his companion being absorbed, a line of cold sweat immediately appeared on Iwamaru's forehead.

When he realized that this was caused by Misui Chi, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

The relaxed look he had just had could no longer be seen on his face. All he showed to everyone now was an emotion called fear...

"Say! I'm giving you Enmaru's card, so your deck will be perfect now... Now use this power to defeat Yugi Judai!"

The ethereal voice coming from Mishouchi echoed in everyone's ears.

After hearing this instruction, Iwamaru showed some hesitation on his face: "But... in this case..."

"Hmm? Any objections? Don't want to?"

As if sensing Iwamaru's inner thoughts, Misato on the other side began to add a threatening tone to his words: "Are you trying to say... your power is something boring that is not even a sideshow?"

"This... I..." Iwamaru realized that if he continued to resist, he would follow in the footsteps of his companions, so he tactfully shut his mouth.

After struggling for a moment, he made a decision, frowned, and pointed his duel disk in the direction of Yuki Judai: "...Duel!!!"

As Iwamaru shouted, the duel disks unfolded one by one on his arms.

"……very good!"

Seeing the change in Iwamaru's aura, Mishouchi on the other side of the mirror nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, there is motivation only when there is pressure.

It was because he saw the end of Enmaru that Iwamaru was able to truly demonstrate his determination to fight!

"It seems that this doesn't make sense..."

Looking at Iwamaru who looked determined, Yujo Judai paused, then simultaneously unfolded his own duel disk: "...Duel!"

(Yucheng Tenth Generation LP: 4000)

(Iwamaru LP: 4000)

"...I attack first. It's my turn. Draw a card!"

Strike first and take advantage of the opportunity when Iwamaru's mind was disturbed by Misuichi's outrageous operation, Yuki Judai shouted and took the initiative, drawing a brand new card from the deck.

After looking at his hand, he thought for a moment, then placed a monster card from his hand onto the deck of the Duel Board: "… Normal Summon [New Cosmic Connector] (Warrior-Type/Light/4*/ATK: 800/DEF: 1800) and activate her effect. When this card is successfully summoned, Special Summon a [New Spaceman] monster or [Elemental Hero New Cosmic Man] in Defense Position from your hand or deck!"

"...Come on! NEOS (New Odyssey)!"

A white female Ultraman with a Q-version figure, who came from the same nebula as Xin Yuxia, appeared on Yuki Judai's field as he shouted.

Gently extending the index finger of his right hand, a dazzling colorful light flashed in the palm of the monster's hand.

Under the guidance of this ray of light, Yuujiro's trump card monster, [Elemental Hero New Yuxia] with an attack power of 2500 and a defense power of 2000, appeared in front of Yuujiro in defense mode.

With his thick arms crossed and his body crouched, Xin Yuxia became the strongest shield for Yuki Judai, bearing the impending damage on his behalf.

"Next, I ambush a card, and the turn ends!"

Unable to attack in the first round, after summoning his own ace monster, Yuki Judai quickly ended his turn and handed the initiative to the opposing Iwamaru.

Compared to the beginning when he could summon Wingman and then wait to be hit at the end of the turn, the current Yuki Judai has grown a lot.

His main summoning force has also gradually transitioned from the original elemental hero subordinates to the current new space subordinates.

"It's my turn! Draw a card!"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Iwamaru, who was being locked onto by Misuichi through the mirror, waved his hand and pulled out the top card of the deck.

+【,

Unlike Yugi Judai, he obviously understood his current situation.

If he loses this duel, then what awaits him next will undoubtedly be the fate of being sucked into the mirror...

"No matter what, I can't fall here!" Iwamaru clenched his right fist and silently made up his mind. He took out a card from his hand and pointed it in the direction of Yuki Judai: "First... I activate the effect of [Earth Emperor's Retainer Ranrob] (Rock-type/Earth/4*/ATK: 800/DEF: 1000) in my hand, targeting 1 face-up monster on the opponent's field. This card is Special Summoned from your hand, and the targeted monster is changed to face-down Defense Position. This turn, you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck."

"The target I choose is naturally the [Elemental Hero Xinyuxia] in Defense Position! When my monster is Special Summoned, Xinyuxia, turn it to face-down position for me!"

As Iwamaru's voice fell, the small stone man who was supporting the ground with one hand also revealed his figure in a cloud of yellow sand.

As a retainer of the emperor, although the attributes of this monster are not high, its appearance gives people a strange feeling that should not be underestimated.

And, just as Iwamaru said, when [Earth Emperor's Retainer Ranrob] was Special Summoned in Defense Position, the New Uchiha who was guarding in front of Yuki Judai was forcibly twisted into the face-down Defense Position under an irresistible force.

"Next, I will activate the continuous magic card from my hand - [Emperor's Rock Breaking]!"

-

[Emperor's Rock Opening]

(Continuous Magic Card)

effect:

The effect of "Emperor's Rock Breaker" can only be used once per turn.

①: As long as this card exists in the Spell & Trap Zone, you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck.

②: When you successfully Advanced Summon a face-up monster, you can select 1 of the following effects.

●Add 1 monster with 2400 ATK/1000 DEF from your deck to your hand that has a different name from the monster you Advanced Summoned.

●Add 1 monster with 2800 ATK/1000 DEF from your deck to your hand that has a different name from the monster you Advanced Summoned.

"Liberate [Earth Emperor's retainer Lan Luobu] as a sacrifice, and I am here to perform a superior summons!"

Iwamaru activated the magic card, and then held the Emperor Card, which represented his own power, in his hand alone.

With a determined look on his face, he replaced the [Earth Emperor's Retainer Lanrob] that was originally placed here and slammed it on his duel disk: "... Descend! [Earth Emperor Granmar] (Rock Tribe/Earth/6 Stars/Attack Power: 2400/Defense Power: 1000/)!!!"

The sky full of yellow sand swept across the surrounding space, blocking everyone's vision.

As [Lan Luobu, a retainer of the Earth Emperor] was liberated by turning into light, the giant wearing heavy plate armor also revealed its majestic figure along with the sandstorm that rose into the sky.

Among the emperors of the six attributes, the Earth Emperor has the largest body, whose body is as majestic and huge as a mountain.

Just at the moment of its appearance, it brought an extremely powerful appearance deterrence to everyone!

"...Activate the effect of [Earth Emperor Granmar]. If this card is successfully Advanced Summoned, target a covered card on the field and destroy it!"

"And then... since I've Advanced Summoned, the effect of the Continuous Magic Card [Emperor's Rock Break] will also be triggered, so I'll add [Emperor Testaros] from my deck to my hand!"

A double chain sound rang out at the same time, and Iwamaru waved his arms, activating the effects of two cards at the same time.

"...Destroy the cover card? Iwamaru is aiming at Judai's backcourt, right?" Listening to Iwamaru's explanation, Misawa instinctively looked at Yuki Judai's backcourt.

Based on his understanding of Yuki Judai, this covered card is most likely the most classic trap card - [Hero Mark].

This card allows you to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower [Elemental Hero] monster from your hand or Deck when a monster you control is destroyed by battle.

"Oh... naive!"

Slowly regaining his duel state, Iwamaru's mentality gradually calmed down, and the anxiety in his heart also dissipated a lot compared to before.

After waving his arms at everyone, he gave a friendly reminder: "Have you forgotten that in addition to the magic and trap cards, Yuki Judai also has a cover card on the field!"

"Gai Ka... is it possible?!"

Frowning, Youxing noticed the blind spot in everyone's vision.

Generally speaking, when talking about blocking a card, the first thing people look at is the backcourt area.

But in fact...the cards in the frontcourt can also be turned into cover cards!

However, the destructive effect of [Earth Emperor Granmar] does not specifically indicate that it is aimed at Magic and Trap Cards.

In other words, as long as the specific conditions for the effect to be activated are met, it can blow up even a monster card!

"…Yes, someone finally noticed it, didn't they? It's just what you thought!"

Iwamaru proudly stretched out his arm and immediately declared loudly: "According to the effect of [Earth Emperor Granmar], I will destroy [Elemental Hero Xinyuxia] who is currently in inside defense position!"

By cooperating with the lower-level monster [Lanrob, the Earth Emperor's Retainer], [Earth Emperor Granmar] can destroy the opponent's powerful monster at the same time as it appears.

When it is facing inside out to indicate being destroyed, in addition to some inherent resistances, other types of effects will also become ineffective!

544 The Emperor of Combo

"Go! [Earth Emperor Granmar], destroy the New Yuxia displayed on the inside!"

Swinging his arms, Iwamaru activated the destruction effect of the Earth Emperor that targets the cover cards on the field.

Targeting Xin Yuxia, Di Di swung his huge iron fist, dragging his body towards Yucheng Judai, and at the same time blasting his monster into tiny golden fragments.

"...Ugh! Xin Yuxia!"

Seeing his monster being destroyed, Yuki Judai instinctively let out a cry of surprise.

After looking at his cover card that had not triggered the conditions, the arm he stretched out subconsciously also stopped in mid-air at the same moment.

After thinking for a moment, he could only helplessly pick up Xin Yuxia from the duel disk and put it into his own grave area.

"Next, I will enter the battle phase! [Earth Emperor Granmar] (Attack Power: 2400)! Attack [New Universe Connector] (Attack Power: 800)!"
