Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

John, who had already seen through the message on the card that Keith had hidden behind the scenes and found his struggle amusing, shook his head helplessly.

Anyway, next is the final round.

After this round of attacks, it will be the end of Keith.

"My turn, draw a card!"

John placed his finger on the top of the deck and pulled out a card.

"Jade Pegasus, Amber Mammoth, Amethyst Cat... I will rescue you immediately..."

After adding the card he had just received to his own hand, John looked at the three gem beasts trapped by Keith and made such a decision in his mind.

"I change the [Gem Beast·Emerald Turtle] on the field to Attack Position (Attack Power: 600), and use it to attack the [Trap Spirit] on your field!"

"……Well!"

Several wind blades emerged from the surface of the Jade Turtle's body.

These wind blades flew straight towards Keith, tearing the monsters on his field apart and shattering them into golden spots of light.

"It's over now. Huang Yuhu will just..."

"Wait a minute!!!"

At this moment, Keith still has 1300 LP points left.

Huang Yuhu's attack power is 1600. After this attack, Keith will be defeated because his health points will be reduced to zero.

Those elves who had been hurt by him before would naturally not miss this opportunity and would definitely come to seek revenge on him.

However, just when John was about to open his mouth to put an end to him, Keith suddenly shouted "Stop" loudly, interrupting John's action.

"Oh? You want to beg for mercy? It's a little too late to say that at this time, isn't it? Keith, do you want me to spare your life?"

“Hehehe… Spare my life? Maybe? But it’s not my life, it’s this guy’s life!”

Raising his eyebrows, John originally planned to ignore Keith's struggle.

However, at this moment, Keith sneered, then suddenly took out a card from the card bag on his waist, held it in front of him, and showed it to John: "John, open your eyes and look carefully! Do you recognize this card?"

"That's... [Jelly Bean Man], is it the card that was taken away from that child?"

As this card appeared, the spirit of [Jelly Bean Man] also appeared next to Keith at the same time.

Looking at the elves that appeared in his field of vision and Keith holding the card, John, recalling the memories of the past, couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

When John was chatting with Yuki Judai earlier, he told him about an incident that happened before he met the [Holy Beasts].

At that time, he accidentally saved a boy whose card was taken away by someone.

The card that was taken from the boy was the Jelly Bean Man...

That is to say...

"Is it you, Keith? You who took that kid's precious card?"

John's thoughts cleared up in an instant. Thinking of this, he showed a surprised expression on his face, and the flames of anger ignited in his eyes: "It turned out to be you! It turned out to be you, a wicked fellow, who hurt the friendship between the elf and the child!"

"Oh, much harm? I don't understand what you mean by that?"

Seeing that his method was effective, Keith immediately showed a smug expression and retorted to John: "This is the card I won from that kid through a duel!"

"If it weren't for the fact that this card has a spirit host, I would have thrown away a useless mortal monster like [Jellybean Man] a long time ago. How could I have kept it until now?"

"Moreover……"

At this point, Keith had a mocking look on his face: "As for what you said about their friendship? That little brat can't see elves!"

"Even if they can't see, their minds are connected!" Shaking his head, John looked in Keith's direction: "Whether he can see the elves or not, he is much better than a despicable guy like you!"

"Huh! Better than me, huh?"

Keith smiled disdainfully and continued, "John, I was hiding nearby and heard everything you said to comfort that kid, right?"

"Even if you can't see it, the elves do exist. As long as you believe, Jelly Bean Man will definitely come back to you..."

Keith repeated what John had said, and a smile of joy appeared on his lips. "I remember, this is what you said, right? You really want this card to be returned to its original owner, right?"

710 Just Believe Strongly

"You guy...it's you?!"

After noticing that Keith, who was hunting elves in front of him, was the one who attacked the children and snatched the cards with elves from their hands, John's heart was once again filled with uncontrollable anger.

At that time, John had not yet met the [Gem Beasts].

At that time, he had just found the goal of his efforts.

After seeing an innocent child whose rare card was taken away by others, he made up his mind to help these weak people.

What John didn't expect was that after so long, the despicable duelist who had taken away his [Gem Beast] in the underground space was the guy he had been looking for.

The guy who took away the boys' dreams and friends.

"At that time, I was very interested in people like you who could see spirits like me."

"But what I didn't expect was that you would become the famous Jewelmon John..."

Keith smacked his lips and sighed, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... Fate is such a wonderful thing, don't you think so, John?"

John: "..."

"Not talking? Whatever."

Keith shook his head pretentiously. He was almost killed by Huang Yuhu. A smug arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Hahaha... I was shocked at that time, but I also had to thank God for giving me this trump card to deal with you!"

Shaking the Jelly Bean Man in his hand, Keith pinched the card with both hands and made a move as if to tear the card: "John, say goodbye to your dream right here and now! Hehehehehe..."

"……stop!"

Seeing that Keith was about to destroy the card, John quickly spoke up to stop him.

At this time, he had already realized Keith's plan and realized that Keith was going to use this card to threaten him.

However, he couldn't think of any effective solution for a moment.

"Oh, you want me to stop? Then you should also stop your attack!"

Hearing John's shout, Keith's face flashed with a look of "knowing the plan", and while curling his lips in satisfaction, he made such a request to John.

Don't want me to tear up this card?

You want to save it from me?

Then, just listen to me! Hehehehehe…

"Damn it! You despicable guy!"

John clenched his fists, feeling disgusted by Keith's meanness, and was forced to interrupt the attack of the Jade Tiger: "The battle is over. According to the effect of the Jade Turtle, I will put it into defense mode..."

"Then, I'll just...end my turn..."

Although Huang Yuhu's attack this time reduced Keith's last bit of health, it allowed John to win the duel.

But on the other hand, John will not be able to fulfill the promise he made with the child and return the Jelly Bean Man that belongs to him far away to him.

Before being knocked down by the monster, Keith, who had been prepared, would definitely tear the card into pieces first...

Or, interrupt Huang Yuhu's attack and temporarily ensure the integrity of [Jelly Bean Man].

Alternatively, just ignore Keith's threat, but you'll also lose the corresponding card.

Faced with this dilemma, the kind-hearted John finally sighed and chose the outcome that would harm himself.

No matter what, at least I have to keep this card.

"Yes, that's right~"

Seeing John interrupt his attack due to his coercion, Keith smiled triumphantly and drew a new card from the deck: "My turn, draw a card!"

"Entering Main Phase 1, I open the face card in the backfield and activate the magic card - [Pot of Greed]!"

"...According to this card's effect, I put 5 monsters in my graveyard back into my deck, and then I can draw cards from my deck!"

As John expected, the card Keith put in the backcourt was a magic card that he had not used before, and not the trap card he mentioned.

Keith activated this card, put the five monsters in the graveyard back to the deck, and then replenished his hand by two more cards.

"Hehe...it's my turn next."

After looking at the cards in his hand, Keith took out one of the cards and placed it horizontally on the duel disk: "I summon [Camouflage Guard] (Defense: 1900) in Defense Position."

A camouflaged turquoise-green mechanical soldier with an expressionless face appeared on Keith's field with his arms folded, following Keith's movements.

After summoning this monster, Keith once again activated a magic card from his hand: "Next, I activate the magic card [Baby Matchmaker]. The effect of this card is that I can use a monster I have captured to attract monsters of the same race and let them step into my trap!"

John: "...same race?"

Among the gem beasts previously captured by Keith, there was an Amethyst Cat from the Beast Clan.

And at this moment in John's field, there is a topaz tiger which is also a beastman.

Under the effect of the magic card, a robot cat with an appearance highly similar to the Amethyst Cat suddenly appeared from the pink smoke, came to the topaz tiger, and cast a charm on it.

Attracted by the fake amethyst cat, Huang Yuhu, who was under the charm, subconsciously took a step forward and chased after it.

However, just when Huang Yuhu was about to catch up with the fake amethyst cat, a large hunting net suddenly fell from the sky and wrapped its body in it.

The fake amethyst cat also wagged its tail at the topaz tiger in a mocking manner, then turned into smoke and disappeared into thin air.

"--Roar!!!"

Huang Yuhu, who was trapped, finally reacted and realized that he had fallen into the trap of the villain.

However, by this time, it was too late.

No matter how hard it struggled, it could not get free from the net. It could only be dragged into Keith's magic trap area unwillingly, and kept company with the [Gem Beasts] that were also captured.

"It's not over yet! John, I will kill you here, my prey!"

Holding the last card in his hand, Keith inserted it into the back field of the Duel Disk without hesitation: "Activate the Continuous Spell Card [Pain of the Substitute]!"

"Once per turn, inflict 400 points of damage to your opponent equal to the number of Prey Monsters on your side of the field!"

Amethyst cat, amber mammoth, and topaz tiger...

In Keith's backfield, there are three Gemmon monsters trapped in a trap.

Therefore, under the effect of the magic card, John will also receive 1200 points of effect damage.

"Take that! Three consecutive counterattacks!"

Extending his arms forward, Keith launched a revengeful counterattack in the direction of John.

As three whip shadows whizzed past, John was hit in the body and suffered damage from the three monsters. He knelt on one knee and fell into a crouch.

"Well……!"

(John LP: 1800 → 600)

“Hahahahahaha!!!”

Keith, who had reduced John's HP to less than 1000 and regained the advantage, laughed triumphantly at this moment: "To bear the damage on behalf of the gem beasts, this is also your wish, right?"

One more round and Keith will win!

So what if the means are despicable?

In that kind of thing, it doesn't matter as long as you can win. History is always written by the winner!

For the sake of victory, I am willing to give up my conscience!

Kid, can you do this?

"Keith, you..."

The negative feeling of losing health points gradually dissipated from his body. John stood up from the ground and cast a hateful look in Keith's direction.

He had never truly hated someone as much as he did today.

Only God can forgive a hopeless guy like Keith, and John's duty is to send this guy to see God!

"What? Are you not convinced? Do you want to attack me?"
