"It's my turn."
It was once again the turn of Tenma Gekko. He drew a card, let out a light breath, and looked at the Masked HERO Vapor on Yuei Vu's field with a little lingering fear.
It's really scary, even the countermeasures for the "Mirror Force" have been prepared. If he hadn't activated the trap at the moment of Bubbleman's attack just now, he would have lost more than half of his LP this round.
Thinking of this, his expression became more dignified and cautious.
"I summon… 'Learning Elf' in defense position." (manga card)
Appearing on Gekko's field was a female elf with long hair, a cloak, round glasses, and a big book in her hand. At first glance, she looked like a standard schoolmaster.
[Learning Elf, DEF 1500]
"Then set two cards, and I end my turn." Two cards appeared at Gekko's feet.
Is he still completely adopting the strategy of consolidating the defense line?
Yuei Vu thought about it without stopping: "It's my turn, draw."
Tenma Gekko was the number one seed under Pegasus, and his strength as a duelist should also be at the top. Yuei Vu didn't think that the opponent blindly defended just because he couldn't find a way to defeat Masked HERO Vapor.
Maybe this was also part of Tenma Gekko's tactics, maybe he was waiting for something.
That being the case, the strategy Yuei Vu must adopt here must be to decide the outcome before the opponent's tactics take shape.
"Summon Elemental HERO Blazeman!"
Flames burst out from the ground, and the hero in the fiery red tights appeared in front of everyone, surrounded by flames and wearing golden goggles.
[Elemental HERO Blazeman, ATK 1200]
"Blazeman's effect! If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: I can add 1 'Polymerization' from my Deck to my hand."
Yuei Vu pulled out the deck to pick out the 'Polymerization' card, then shuffled the deck and inserted them back into the Duel Disk.
"Then comes the Spell Card – Polymerization!" A card with a powerful magic effect appeared in front of Yuei Vu, "I fuse the 'Elemental HERO Blazeman' with the 'Elemental HERO Sparkman' in my hand!
The fusion condition is 1 'Elemental HERO' monster + 1 FIRE monster!
Fusion Summon! Elemental HERO Nova Master! "
Sparkman emerged with a burst of electric current, and together with Blazeman was involved in the vortex of fusion. The green magic power gradually burned with the rotation, and the power burst out like a volcanic eruption. The Elemental HERO in red and gold armor and cloak appeared domineeringly.
[Elemental HERO Nova Master, ATK 2600]
Tenma Gekko whispered to himself: "Sure enough, it is a fusion summon…"
"Battle!" Yuei Vu waved his hand, "Nova Master, attack Learning Elf!"
Nova Master had the effect of drawing a card by destroying the opponent's monster in battle, so Yuei Vu chose to use the Nova Master to attack first.
The Elemental HERO in the golden armor was bathed in fire and rushed towards the elf girl in the opposite field with a high temperature and heat wave. The girl was so frightened that she quickly buried her head in the book, too frightened to open her eyes.
"Open the set card!" Tenma Gekko waved his hand, "Quick-Play Spell – Shrink! The original attack power of a monster on the field is halved! Halve the attack power of Nova Master!"
The tall and mighty hero rushed forward aggressively but was restrained by mysterious magic power, and his body quickly shrank to half its original size at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Learning Elf cautiously poked her head out from behind the book, blinked her eyes in doubt, and felt that she seemed to be able to fight back…
[Elemental HERO Nova Master, ATK 2600 → ATK 1300]
But Yuei Vu also had a countermeasure: "Quick-Play Spell – Form Change! Return 1 'HERO' Fusion Monster I control to the Extra Deck, then Special Summon from my Extra Deck, 1 'Masked HERO' monster with the same Level as that monster's original Level, but with a different name!
I return the Level 8 Nova Master to the Extra Deck and switch its form!
Transform! Masked HERO Anki! "
Nova Master whose attack power was shrunk suddenly erupted with black mist, and the black mist quickly surrounded his entire body, forming a black armor that wrapped him from head to toe.
[Masked HERO Anki, ATK 2800]
Tenma Gekko murmured: "In the Battle Phase, cleverly using the transformation to avoid the effect of 'Shrink', and gained a new attack opportunity…"
"Masked HERO Anki!" Yuei Vu raised his hand, "Attack Learning Elf!"
Although the master did not specify the name of the attack move this time, the dark hero seems to have liked this move. He jumped up, rolled, and accelerated in mid-air, then kick out his right leg flatly in a standard "Rider Kick" pose and dived toward the elf below.
Learning Elf yelled "Ah", was kicked hard by the pitch-black hero, and disappeared with a bang and a violent impact.
Of course, because it was in the defense position, Tenma Gekko did not take any damage. But he immediately drew a card: "The special effect of Learning Elf – When she is sent to the GY, I can draw a card."
"Then the special ability of my Masked HERO Anki has also been activated." Yuei Vu said, ". Once per turn, when this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the GY: I can add 1 'Change' Quick-Play Spell Card from my Deck to my hand."
Tenma Gekko instantly realized what this meant, and couldn't help being surprised: "So…"
"That's right, it means that this round of attack is far from over!" Yuei Vu said, "Masked HERO Vapor, attack directly!"
The Masked HERO rushed forward as if stepping on a stream of water. The sharp blade in his hand dragged the trajectory of the blue water to cut out, and locked onto Tenma Gekko's neck straightly.
The sharp blade dragged the water across his neck—of course, there would be no actual damage because of the stereoscopic image, but the virtual impact was still there. At the same time, this blow also took away a large amount of LP from Gekko.
[Gekko, LP 4000 → LP 1600]
Yuei Vu squinted at the last set card at Tenma Gekko's feet.
It hasn't been triggered, was it a trap that could not be used to defend against attacks?
In this way, Yuei Vu would be able to directly win this duel.
"Then I activate the card that is added to my hand just now: Quick-Play Spell – Mask Change! Send 1 'HERO' monster I control to the Graveyard, then Special Summon 1 'Masked HERO' monster from my Extra Deck with the same Attribute!"
Yuei Vu pointed at the monsters on his field.
"I will send 'Masked HERO Anki' to the GY, and make Anki transform into a second 'Masked HERO Anki'!"
At this time, Mokuba in the auditorium was puzzled: "Transform the Anki into another Anki? The meaning of this is…"
"Because the Quick-Play Spell is used to transform during the Battle Phase, so the new Anki can make another attack." Kaiba explained lightly, squinting his eyes at the same time, "Has the victory been decided?"
In fact, at this moment, President Kaiba has already been a little surprised by Yuei Vu's new series of "Masked HERO".
It could transform in time during the battle, and could also perform form switching. Not only could you avoid the opponent's counterattack by transforming, but you could also obtain different special effects and additional attack times by transforming into various powerful Masked HEROes…
…What a scary deck!
President Kaiba looked at Yuei Vu with complicated eyes.
Yuei Vu, since we played against each other last time… how much progress have you made?
This was the first time in history that President Kaiba was not confident in his progress (printing card) speed, and even had the illusion that he could not catch up with Yuei Vu's progress.
At the same time, this also sounded the alarm bell for the president. There was no end to the duelist's path, and he must not be satisfied with the status quo.
(President Kaiba: Favorability +1, +1, +1…)
At this time, the black mist has wrapped the Masked HERO Anki on Yuei Vu's field. With the transformation effect of a burst of black mist rising, the new armor was completed, and another brand new Masked HERO, Anki, came to the field.
[Masked HERO Anki, ATK 2800]
[Gekko, LP 1600]
"The last blow!" Yuei Vu shouted, "Masked HERO Anki, attack directly!"
The dark hero jumped up, tumbling in the air, and with a standard flying kick, like an arrow flying off the bow's string!
