Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

"[Cloud Monsters]... Is this the deck used by the champion of the Eastern Branch - Amon Garem? It looks very interesting. What effects do they have?"

Also looking in Amon's direction, John showed an expectant look on his face.

At this point, among all the duelists who visited the Duel Academy headquarters, only Amon had not demonstrated his strength.

Tonight is a rare opportunity to witness his dueling style.

"Yusei, which one do you think will win, Manjome or Amon?"

Looking at Yusei beside her, Asuka habitually asked for his opinion in a consulting tone.

"Need I say more? Asuka-senpai, of course Amon will win. After all, he is the champion of the branch school. That guy Manjome...how could he be his opponent!"

Without waiting for Yusei to answer, Saotome Rei, who had her hands behind her back, gave the answer on Yusei's behalf with a smile.

In fact, during this period of time, she and Manjōme had several duels, and the results of the duels were undoubtedly her victory.

Although Manjyoumu once relied on the assistance of the three disrupting brothers to summon his top trump cards - super monsters such as [Armed Dragon Assault Cannon] (Attack Power: 3500) and [Atoz-Dragon Annihilation Cannon] (Attack Power: 4000), he attempted to defeat Xiaoli by absolute violence.

However, under the suppression effect of the invincible [No. 16 Color Ruler] and [Thunder - Arceus], ​​all these methods became futile resistance.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, in terms of card skills and luck, Manjomu was indeed no match for Xiaoli...

After the effect was blocked, all the monsters turned into blanks, and the only fate waiting for him was to be beaten by Gundam (Arzeus), dragon (Judgment Dragon) and woman (Light Path Saint)...

Therefore, at this time, Saotome Rei, who was watching the battle, said that Manjomu was not as good as others.

"Well... well..."

Listening to Xiaoli's words and witnessing her taking out various powerful terminals one after another during the duel, Youxing felt a little ashamed.

After clearing his throat, he said to the girls, "If it was the previous Manjomu, then he would definitely lose to Amon as expected."

"But now that he has crawled out of hell and gone through so many events, and has been reborn as Black Lightning, I'm sure he will bring us a different outcome."

Also born as a young master, Wanzhangmu, who was surrounded by younger brothers in the past, was obviously the kind of person who had high expectations but low skills and was destined to become a stepping stone for the protagonist.

However, after returning, he reformed himself, realized his problems, and continued to repent.

The current Wanzhangmu is many times stronger than before!

If possible, Yusei didn't want him to lose to Amon.

For two people with conflicting positions, a draw might be a good result.

"…At the end of this turn, since I summoned two [Cloud Monster] monsters with the same name this turn, I can draw two cards from my deck."

With the effect of the magic card [Bozaku], Amon, who announced the end of the turn at this moment, replenished two cards from the deck.

"Humph! It's my turn next!"

At the same time as Amon announced the end of the turn, Manjomu, who had been feeling impatient for a long time, waved his arms violently and drew a card from the deck.

After looking at his hand, he took out one of the cards and held it in front of him: "Go! I activate the continuous magic card from my hand - [X·Y·Z Fusion]!"

-

[X, Y, Z combination]

(Continuous Magic Card)

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

①: You can only activate this card when your Machine-type/Light Allied Monster Card is banished. Special Summon 1 of "X-Boss Cannon", "Y-Dragon Head", or "Z-Metal Track" from your Deck.

②: You can activate this by returning 1 Fusion Monster on your field to the Extra Deck. From your excluded monsters, select up to 2 "X-Boss Cannon", "Y-Dragon Head", and "Z-Metal Track" to Special Summon (up to 1 card with the same name).

-

On the magic card, there are three mechanical monsters X, Y, and Z that are about to merge into one under the attraction of electric current.

After activating this card, Manjome immediately took out a card from his hand: "Next, I will activate the Continuous Magic Card in my hand again - [Dimensional Cage]! According to the effect of this card, I will select 3 Allied Monsters of 4 levels or less from my deck and banish them!"

As the magic card was activated, a black vortex appeared in the void above Wanzhangmu's head and began to rotate quietly.

Looking at the black vortex that appeared above my head and led to another dimension.

Manjomu put three allied monsters, [W-Catapult Wing], [Y-Dragon Head], and [Z-Metal Track], from the deck into his pocket, and continued: "At this moment, through the effect of [X·Y·Z Fusion], I Special Summon [X-Boss Cannon] (Attack Power: 1800) from the deck to my field!"

"And the effect of [Dimensional Cage] has a follow-up. When you have a monster summoned or special summoned on your field, if the monster is on the Allied Monster card removed from the game by the effect of this card, you can Special Summon those Allied Monsters.

However, Allied Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot be used as Tributes."

A mechanical monster with the ability to combine, equipped with powerful cannons on both shoulders to form its head. With the effect of the continuous magic card [X·Y·Z Combination], it appeared on the field with light.

With the appearance of this monster, the two matching monsters [Y-Dragon Head] and [Z-Metal Tracks] also rushed out from the vortex of the other dimension and appeared one after another on the left and right sides of [X-Boss Cannon].

"It's not over yet! I haven't Normal Summoned this turn yet, so next, I will Summon the [V-Jet Tiger] in Attack Position!"

The jet with the appearance of a tiger, which was good at aerial combat, appeared in front of him at a rapid speed, spraying the rocket engine at the tail with its movements.

After this monster appeared, the effect of the continuous magic card [Dimensional Cage] was triggered again, and the excluded supporting alliance monster [W-Bounce Wing] was special summoned to the field.

Relying on a series of chains, Manzhangmu, whose front grid was filled, pulled out five mechanical monsters with the ability to combine in front of him!

At this time, he still had three cards left in his hand.

There is no doubt that Wanzhangmu, who exchanged three for seven, performed a standard card-earning operation in front of everyone.

"Yes, Manjomu, you did a great job! You are worthy of being an elite student of Obelisk Blue~"

Smiling and clapping his hands, Amon gave his heartfelt praise to Wanzhangmu's move.

As for the information about Wanzhang's purpose, Amon had naturally investigated it before the duel, and learned that he had fallen from the elite-gathering Oberisk Blue to the tail-end-gathering Osiris Red.

Originally, in his impression, the self-degrading Wanzhangmu should not be worthy of his attention, but looking at the current situation, he seems to be a little different from the rumors.

"Humph! It's too early to be surprised now!"

Wanzhangmu pursed his lips at Amon's slightly teasing words, and with a stern look on his face, he stretched out his arms towards the monsters in front of him: "Watch out, this is when they will show their true power!"

For the allied monsters, this is just the beginning.

Just as Manjomu said, now is the time to show our true colors!

688 Combination is the romance of men!

"...Watch out! Now is the time for my monsters to show their true power!"

Pointing in the direction of Amon, Manzhangmu, with a determined look on his face, gave further instructions to the monsters in front of him in a deep voice: "I will banish the two monsters [V-Jet Tiger] and [W-Catapult Wing] on the field, and Special Summon this card from the Extra Deck!"

"Come out! [VW-Strike Tiger] (Attack Power: 2000)!"

As Wanzhang's purposeful call sounded, [V-Jet Tiger] and [W-Eject Wing] were superimposed up and down in mid-air and merged into one, becoming a new 6-star mechanical fusion monster.

Judging from the appearance alone, it would be more accurate to say that these two monsters have merged rather than saying that their state is fused.

After all, no Fusion Magic Card was used in this Special Summon.

"The effect of [VW-Strike Tiger] is activated. By discarding a card from my hand, I can change the position of a monster on my opponent's field. At this time, the effect of the Flip Monster does not activate."

Sending a card from his hand to the graveyard, Manjomu looked at the monster in defense position in front of Amon: "According to the effect of [VW-Strike Tiger], I change the [Cloud Monster-Sheep Cloud] on your field to attack position!"

Towards the opponent's front court, [VW-Strike Tiger] fired a small missile with a flaming tail from the magazine.

After that, as the explosion caused by the missile sounded, a [Cloud Monster - Sheep Cloud] in front of Amon was also lifted up and forcibly changed from the defense position to the attack position.

[Cloud Monster - Sheep Cloud]'s attack and defense are both 0. After changing it from attack position to defense position, Amon can no longer use this monster as a shield to avoid the damage he should have taken.

"...Next, I will activate the effect of [Disruption Powder] that was sent to the graveyard just now."

Pointing to his own Graveyard, Manjyoume continued, "...This card can only be activated when it is sent from your hand or field to the Graveyard. Both players draw 1 card from their decks, then choose 1 card from your hand and discard it.

When you discard a "Disrupt" card by this effect, you can specify 1 unused opponent's Monster Zone. That Zone cannot be used until the end of your opponent's turn.

"Draw a card?"

Amon narrowed his eyes, with Wanzhangmu's words echoing in his ears. He reached out and pulled a card from the deck, then chose a card in his hand to discard.

Manjōmu also made the same action, but the card he discarded could activate a new effect.

"The card I just discarded is the magic card [Disruption Magic]. According to the effect of this card, when it is sent from the hand or the field to the graveyard, I can add one each of [Disruption Yellow], [Disruption Green], and [Disruption Black] from my deck to my hand!"

Under the effect of [Disruption Magic], the three disrupting brothers jumped out of the deck and came into Wanzhangmu's hand.

At this time, Wanzhangmu's hand of cards returned to the original five.

Although, there are three monsters that are of no use at the moment and are just occupying resources...

"Then it's time for the second fusion! Go ahead! I'll remove the [X-Boss Cannon], [Y-Dragon Head], and [Z-Metal Track] on the field, and combine these three monsters into one again!"

"...Combination Summon, descend! [XYZ-Dragon Cannon] (Attack Power: 2800)!!!"

[X-Boss Cannon] makes up the head and body, [Y-Dragon Head] makes up the waist and crotch, and [Z-Metal Tracks] serves as the base.

Overlapping from top to bottom, just like the [VW-Strike Tiger] just now, the remaining three monsters also transformed into a new combined posture!

Along with the sound of thunder faintly heard in the sky, the 8-star fusion monster engraved on the continuous magic card [X·Y·Z Fusion] descended in front of Wanzhangmu at this moment.

That perfect figure that combines the advantages of three monsters is full of the margins unique to ace monsters.

"Let's enter the battle phase. Take it! The Tiger missiles of [VW-Strike Tiger] and the powerful anti-aircraft guns of [XYZ-Dragon Cannon]!"

After unfolding his ten thousand feet eyes, he waved his arms and ordered the monster in front of him to attack.

The fusion monsters that received the order also poured their huge firepower network towards Amon without reservation.

As the rumbling explosions continued, the monster in front of Amon was, as expected, destroyed into a golden dot of light, and all traces of its existence disappeared from the field.

At the same time, Amon himself was caught in the aftermath of the explosion and lost 2800 health points in one go!

(Amon Garem LP: 4000 → 1200)

"Humph!"

Having reduced the opponent's health in one breath, Manjomu achieved his goal, snorted coldly, and folded his arms.

"……Well!"

On the other side, Amon, with his arms across his body and his body lowered, was struggling to resist the wind pressure caused by the explosion.

Even someone like him who has a calm personality and doesn't easily show emotions on his face, after suffering such a huge injury, he still couldn't help but show a painful look with clenched teeth.

"Well done! You are worthy of being called Manjome!"

Seeing Manjyoume slashing his opponent's health in one go, Yuki Judai, who was watching the fight, couldn't help but let out a shout of applause.

At this time, John seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said, "Hmm? I remember that Manjomu can also see elves, right? Doesn't he plan to use the elves to fight?"

"Manjomu's spirits are the troublemakers he just added to his hand... but how should I put it, these monsters don't look that good, and their personalities aren't very likable, so Manjomu isn't very close to them."

On behalf of Yuki Judai who was obsessed with duels, Yusei used a more tactful tone to explain to John the complicated relationship between Manjyoume and his spirit.

High EQ: Not very good looking.

Low emotional intelligence: ugly.

"Is this... like this? It seems a little different from what I imagined."

After hearing Youxing's explanation, John showed an expression of being unable to let go.

John, who regards the gem beasts as his own family, cannot understand the slightly unusual relationship between Manjomu and the disturbing brothers.

"...Huh? This is it?"

On the duel arena, as the smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, the situation on Amon's field was revealed to Wanzhang's eyes.

Manzhangmu, who had just finished the battle phase, was stunned when he saw the scene before him.

After two [Cloud Monsters - Sheep Clouds] were destroyed by his monsters, four derivative monsters in defense position appeared in front of Amon again, and their appearance was no different from that of [Cloud Monsters - Sheep Clouds].

[Cloud Monster Derivative] (Angel / Water / 1 Level / Attack: 0 / Defense: 0) x 4

"Heh, when [Cloud Monster - Lamb Cloud] is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon two [Cloud Monster Tokens] on my field. Since two [Cloud Monster - Lamb Cloud] are destroyed, I can also Special Summon 4 [Cloud Monster Tokens] on the field."

"…However, these derivatives cannot be used as sacrifices for higher-level summons other than [Cloud Monster] monsters."

After recovering from his abnormal state, Amon's lips curled up slowly and he began to explain the current situation.

Although his monsters were destroyed by Manjomu, on the other hand, he also achieved his goal in a sense.

"Hmph! Did you prepare such a sacrifice specifically to summon a higher-level monster?"
