Yu-Gi-Oh, the tenth generation of card-playing simulator!

Trap Card---[Wheel of Destruction]!

Chapter 98: Actually, I am a special summon in a fusion skin...

"Activate the effect of [Destruction Wheel] to destroy a face-up monster on the field. Both of us take damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK."

Just as Misawa finished speaking, Judai raised his doubts again:

"It's useless. The effect was already activated when Skyman appeared. Even if it is destroyed now, it can still destroy the [Fusion Prohibited Area] in your backfield."

"Yes, if I choose to destroy Skyman, the result will be exactly as you expected."

During the duel, a different look appeared on Misawa's face at this moment:

"But what if I were to choose a different card?"

After saying this, Misawa pointed his right arm at Solid Man:

"My real target is the [Elemental Hero Solid Man]!"

"what?"

Seeing that the target of the destruction wheel was not the expected Skyman, Judai was surprised:

"Why would you destroy this..."

Before he could finish his words, Judai suddenly remembered the time when he used [Incremental Man] to chain [Sky Man].

"It seems you've realized it, Judai."

Misawa's mouth corners slightly raised, and he smiled softly:

"After my observation and analysis, Skyman's judgment should only be triggered after a thorough hit."

While Misawa was explaining, the scene in the duel did not stop at all.

The dark destructive wheel arrived first and destroyed Solid Man, and only after that did Sky Man come to the [Fusion Prohibited Area] and launched the effect attack.

However, at this time it could no longer rely on the power of other heroes, and the permanent trap on Misawa's field was not affected at all.

"Nice, my analysis turned out to be correct."

Misawa, who successfully broke Judai's attack, became excited.

"That's amazing, Misawa."

Seeing that Skyman's offensive was broken like this, Judai on the other side couldn't help but praise him:

“If I had used [Wheel of Destruction] a moment earlier, I would have chosen to retrieve other hero cards.

If used a moment later, [Sky Man] would completely destroy the [Fusion Prohibited Area].

I never expected that you would grasp this most crucial point. You are indeed worthy of being my trusted companion."

After saying this, Judai gave Misawa an affirmative thumbs up.

...

"The Judai's attack was blocked?"

"Is it possible to use this method?"

"I used to think it was exaggerated when I saw Misawa taking so many notes, but now I suddenly want to do the same."

"Since Misawa successfully secured this Continuous Trap, Judai, who can't summon Fusion Monsters, won't be doomed to fail suddenly..."

"Hmm...it's really hard to say..."

As this wave of confrontation ended, the audience who originally thought that the Tenth Generation was almost certain to win also discovered the highlights and became more and more interested in this duel.

...

During the audience's discussion, Judai checked his cards again.

Since he had already used up three cards, he now only had four cards left in his hand. From left to right, they were:

[Love Contact], [Fusion], [Sincere New Yuxia], [EN Switch].

"What a shame! If I fail to destroy that Trap Card, it seems I won't be able to summon a Fusion Monster. The next battle will become difficult."

Judai muttered to himself while staring at the cards in his hand, and his attention gradually shifted to the trap card [Beloved Contact] in his hand.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, the effect of the card [Fusion Forbidden Area] should prohibit the Fusion Summon method, not the Fusion Monster."

Recalling the effect of this trap card, Judai slowly made more discoveries:

"But according to the descriptions of the cards I have, the failed [Miracle Fusion] naturally falls under the Fusion Summon category. But should the remaining cards like [Beloved Touch] and [Masquerade Transformation] really be considered Fusion Summons instead of Special Summons?"

After repeatedly rubbing the cards, Judai gradually came up with a new idea:

"Whatever it is, let's give it a try!"

After re-planning, Judai used his second card of this round:

"Activate the Spell Card [EN Switch], return the [Sky Man] on the field to the deck, and this time, the [Shadow Mist Girl] will appear!"

The graceful figure of Shadow Mist Girl emerged on Judai's stage and bowed slightly to the audience below.

"Activate the effect of [Shadow Mist Girl] and add the quick-attack spell [Mask Transformation] to your hand."

The indicator light on the duel disk flashed, and the card retrieved by Judai popped out immediately.

"It's useless. As long as the [Fusion Prohibited Area] exists, neither of us can perform a Fusion Summon."

In order to remind Judai and to cheer himself up, Misawa in the duel arena repeated the effect of the continuous trap again.

"Although the card effect is like this, perhaps we can still give it a try."

Even though he agreed with Misawa's words, Judai still placed the card he had just retrieved on the duel board:

"Sure enough, this summons was approved."

Seeing that the Duel Disk was running normally, Judai, who had been a little nervous just now, finally put his mind at ease:

"Activate [Masked Transformation], send [Shadow Mist Lady] on the field to the Graveyard, and Special Summon [Masked Hero Dark Ghost]."

When Dark Ghost appeared on the field for the first time, no one in the audience cheered for this monster with an attack power of 2800 points. Instead, there were constant doubts.

"what happened?"

"How did Judai successfully summon his fusion monster?"

"His duel disk is different from ours?"

"What are you thinking? This kind of problem has never occurred in the Kaiba Duel Disk so far."

"But Judai did summon a fusion monster despite the [Fusion Forbidden Zone]. How do you explain that?"

...

Facing the noise from the audience, Misawa in the duel arena seemed calmer. Over a hundred days and nights, he not only understood the hero, but also Judai.

"I don't know how you did it, but Judai, you can definitely give everyone a reasonable explanation, right?"

"Because although [Dark Ghost] is a Fusion Monster, what I just performed was not actually a Fusion Summon, but a Special Summon."

At Judai's suggestion, the full effects of the card [Masked Transformation] were projected onto the big screen by the faculty for the first time.

[Masked Transformation]: Target a [Hero] monster you control. Send that monster to the Graveyard, and Special Summon a [Masked Hero] monster with the same Attributes as that monster from your Extra Deck.

"So... this is actually a Special Summon, right?"

Misawa, who finally got a glimpse of the entire card, reacted immediately.

"That's right..."

Judai looked at the projected card effect and said slowly:

"Actually, I only just figured it out. Although I've been summoning Fusion Monsters, I've been using Special Summoning in many situations."

"Including the trap card we used in the last duel?"

The figure of [Flashing New Wingman] suddenly appeared in Misawa's mind.

"Well, the card [Loving Touch] works on the same principle as [Masquerade Transformation]."

After saying this, Judai decisively declared that the battle was about to begin:

"Now, use [Masked Hero Dark Ghost] to attack [Water Dragon - Cluster]."

"They both have 2800 attack points. The only reason for this is because I have that monster card that temporarily increases my attack power."

Even though Judai's backcourt defense was broken down in an unconventional way, Misawa still wanted to hold on for a while:

"Activate Trap Card --- [Attack Disabling].

When your opponent's monster declares an attack, you can activate this card by targeting that attacking monster. That attack is negated, and the Battle Phase ends.

As Misawa finished speaking, Judai's battle phase came to an abrupt end.

"Ambush one card. My turn is over. It's your turn, Misawa."

Although the attack was stopped, there was no sign of frustration on Judai's face. He was looking forward to the surprise that his best friend had prepared for him.

"At the end of the turn, activate the quick-attack magic [Whirlwind]!"

At the last moment when the control of the round was about to be handed over, Misawa finally opened the last card, and Judai's [Beloved Contact] in the backfield was forcibly destroyed.

Chapter 99: The end is also a new beginning

"It's my turn, draw a card!"

After successfully destroying Judai's face-up card, Misawa didn't dare to be careless at all. After all, he had used up all his cards, and Judai had a [Sincere New Hero] in his hand that could temporarily increase his attack power by 2500 points.

"Activate the second effect of [Water Dragon - Cluster], Tribute this card, and Special Summon two [Water Dragons] from your deck in Defense Position, ignoring the Summon Bar."

At the beginning of the round, Misawa disintegrated the cluster that was specially recruited in the previous round, and two brand new water dragons were stationed in the monster area in defense position.

"Bannerf the Trap Card [Chemical Bond - DHO] in the Graveyard, and add the Monster Card [Water Dragon - Cluster] I just released from the Graveyard to my hand."

After completing this process, Misawa finally decided to use the card he drew at the beginning of the round:

"Activate the Spell Card [Foolish Burial] and send [Litmus Death Swordsman] from the Deck to the Graveyard."

An eight-star ritual monster popped out from the Duel Disk and was meticulously placed in the Graveyard slot by Misawa.

"Next, I will return the Spell Card [Litmus's Death Ritual] in the Graveyard and [Litmus's Dead Swordsman] in the Graveyard to the Deck. Based on the effect of [Death Ritual], I can draw a card from the Deck."

Swish--!

As the graveyard magic card was activated, a new card was drawn directly from the top of the deck by Mizawa.

After seeing the name of this card clearly, Misawa couldn't help but show a brief look of joy on his face.

"Face a card and end this turn."

When Misawa's declaration was over, the control of the round was transferred again at this moment.

"My turn, draw a card!"

At this point in the duel, Judai didn't have many cards to use. The card he had just added to his hand was [Elemental Hero Xinyu Elf], which was temporarily useless against Mizawa who hadn't launched an attack yet.
