"The second effect of Masked HERO Blast! Once per turn, I can pay 500 LP, then target 1 Spell/Trap the opponent controls; return it to the hand!
What I want to bounce back to the hand, of course, is… Malefic World! "
[Yuei Vu, LP 1950 → LP 1450]
At this time, the Masked HERO flew up with arms folded, and his figure began to spin at high speed. The majestic energy lingered around the gust, and as it turned, it turned into a sharp wind like a steel knife. The electric current circles around the green track like a speeding sports car, as if it wants to tear the dark world into pieces.
If this move was successful and the Malefic World was bounced back to the hand, then the Malefic Cyber End Dragon on Paradox's field would blow up on the spot like the Malefic Rainbow Dragon in the last turn!
That would almost certainly be his defeat.
But Paradox…
…he still had the last line of defense!
"Activate the effect of Skill Prisoner from the graveyard!!!"
Paradox gritted his teeth and almost roared.
A pitch-black vortex opened up, and a crimson trap card flew out of the GY, spun a few times in the air, and turned into golden light, and dissipated in the air.
"Banish this card from the Graveyard, then target 1 card I control. During this turn, all monster effects that targeted that card will be negated!"
He raised his finger to the storm in front of him.
"The card I want to target is 'Malefic World'! The effect of the monster that targets 'Malefic World' is invalid for this turn, so the effect of 'Masked HERO Blast' is negated!"
The storm stopped. The invisible force forcibly contained the storm like a shackle, and also stopped the gust of wind, forcing him to fall back to the ground.
Yuei Vu's relentless pursuit of the Malefic World has been resolved one after another. It seems that this villain who dared to challenge the three duel kings at the same time is indeed not just a simple expansion, but has two brushes.
But at the same time, this was really Paradox's last resort.
"If that is the case, then go straight to the Battle Phase!" Yuei Vu said lightly, "Masked HERO Blast, attack Malefic Cyber End Dragon!
Uh… Hurricane Slash! "
Although it still failed to blow away the Malefic World, with Blast's first effect, the attack power of the Malefic Cyber End Dragon had been overtaken.
Masked HERO Blast flew out on a green whirlwind, his body circling lightly as if he had merged with the hurricane, and descending from a high position, he threw a gorgeous green arc with his hand as a knife.
The hand knife dragged a long arc from mid-air, and cut the three-headed mechanical dragon from it with just one blow! The electric dragon screamed sharply, and lightning and sparks burst from the cracks in the steel.
With a bang, the huge mechanical dragon was instantly blown into ashes by the hero's blow, and countless metal fragments flew around.
"Ugh!!"
Paradox, who had not much LP left, was violently shaken back a few steps, almost relying on tenacious willpower to barely control himself from falling.
[Paradox, LP 300 → LP 100]
There was only the last 100 LP left, but he staggered and finally stood up straight with difficulty.
"It's…not over yet." He gritted his teeth. "There's still life left…I haven't given up yet!"
Yuei Vu: "…"
This "I am a villain" sensation is getting heavier and heavier…
"I end my turn."
Accompanied by the declaration, the hero in green armor gracefully fell back to Yuei Vu with arms folded. The red scarf fluttered in the wind like a flag.
"My turn…"
Paradox lowered his head and stared intently at his deck, as if he was preparing to use all his life's strength to complete this card draw.
"I can't yet…fall down here…"
He closed his eyes, his fingers resting on the deck,
My companions who are looking forward to me in the distant future, lend me your strength!
"Draw!!!"
Paradox drew that card. The airflow seemed to draw a clear arc in the air.
Yuei Vu: "…"
Hey, this is the premonition that the righteous protagonist is about to print a card to kill the evil villain. Are you sure you don't hold the wrong script?
"Activate Spell Card – Malefic Selector!" Paradox played the card he just "spiritually" drew, "Banish 2 'Malefic' cards from my GY; add 2 'Malefic' cards from my Deck to my hand, except 'Malefic Selector', with different names from each other and from the banished cards."
Two "Malefic" cards in the GY were removed, and at the same time, his Duel Disk quickly performed automatic retrieval. Two other cards popped out automatically.
Paradox took out those two cards: "Let's use the trump cards of the friends you are familiar with in this era to bring you the end! What I want to add to my hand is…
Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon!
Then the effects of these two monsters activate!
I send the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' from the deck to the graveyard, and special summon them from my hand!
Show up! Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon! "
Two dragons, one white and one black, flapped their wings and flew out of the deep darkness. The duelists of this era called it "the white dragon that brought victory" and "the black dragon that symbolized possibility". They respectively landed on Paradox's left and right sides!
[Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000]
[Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon, ATK 2400]
Yuei Vu: "…"
Red-Eyes Black Dragon was fine. Although this card was rare, it was not the only one who had it. What made him feel curious was where did Paradox get Blue-Eyes White Dragon?
Could it be that he traveled to the timeline before President Kaiba bought the Blue-Eyes White Dragon?
Anyway, Yuei Vu felt that for his own sake, he had better not use this card in front of President Kaiba. Otherwise, the consequences may be unimaginable…
"That would be the end!" cried Paradox.
Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon had a total attack power of 5400. Yuei Vu only had a Masked HERO Blast with 2200 attack power, no set card on the field, and no card in hand.
This duel… I won it!
"Battle!" Paradox yelled, "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon, tear up that Masked HERO for me! Sin Burst Stream of Destruction!!!"
The white dragon opened its huge mouth, and the boundless power of light was brewing in it! A mighty jet beam seemed to be on the verge of blowing out, just a breath, and wanted to blast the only wall in front of Yuei Vu into dregs at any time!
But at this moment, Paradox was acutely horrified to find that Yuei Vu seemed to be… laughing?
He felt as if his brain had briefly shut down.
Could it be that in this situation…does he have another move?
Yuei Vu slowly raised his hand. At this time, the hero in front of him was also crossing his arms and looking at the destructive white dragon in front of him, as if he was not afraid at all.
"The effect of Masked HERO Blast." Yuei Vu said calmly, "Once per turn, I can pay 500 LP, then target 1 Spell/Trap the opponent controls; return it to the hand. And this effect…
…can also be activated during the opponent's turn! "
Paradox: "!?"
This is a Quick Effect!?
[Yuei Vu, LP 1450 → LP 950]
"Masked HERO Blast!" Yuei Vu said, "Bounce the field magic – Malefic World… to the holder's hand!"
Facing the light bullets of destruction, Masked HERO Blast flew up fearlessly.
He made a choice in mid-air, driving the airflow and creating a galloping storm. The strong wind swept up almost everything in the arena, and the space was shattered in the turmoil. The sky seemed to be shattered, and the slag poured down like torrential rain until the entire dark world turned into nothingness and returned to the roof of the real building.
The Malefic World disappeared, and the domineering jet beam dissipated immediately. Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Malefic Red-Eyes Black Dragon raised their heads and let out a deep roar, both of them blew up on the spot and shattered into pieces.
Paradox looked at the Field Spell Card that was bounced back to his hand and couldn't help staying where he was.
This was the end of his last hope, his last struggle.
The two Malefic monsters on the field both exploded, his field was empty, and the last card in his hand was also the "Malefic World" that had just been bounced back to his hand.
In other words, he had no cards to play.
He lost.
"My turn." Yuei Vu didn't even look at the cards he drew, "It's time to fight. Masked HERO Blast, attack the player directly! Hurricane Slash!"
Masked HERO Blast soared into the air, riding the hurricane below him, with a green knife light on the back of his hand, slashing toward Paradox…
…And at this moment, the space suddenly split open!
The pitch-black force field was broken from the outside, and something in the space roared like a dragon! An afterimage seemed to fly out from a crack in space, dragging a swaying red halo, broke into the middle of the field between the two sides, and landed heavily on the ground.
It was…
…a red motorcycle?
