[Yuei Vu, LP 2500]
The opponent came up with 1500 damage, which was still very painful for an environment in which the total LP was only 4000.
The Volcanic deck was also a well-known deck back then, and it was relatively well-known both in reality and in animation. This deck appeared in "Yu-Gi-Oh GX", and the user was Austin O'Brien, a reliable teammate of the protagonist group in the entire GX series.
As the owner of the Volcanic deck, O'Brien was given enough screen time in the animation. When first fought against Yuki Judai, if it wasn't for his mission, he might have won the first battle against Yuki Judai.
Later, Judai was swallowed by the darkness in his heart and transformed into the invincible Supreme King. In the end, O'Brien stood up and tried his best to die with Supreme King, liberating Judai from the darkness in his heart.
Although O'Brien didn't play many matches, and the Volcanic deck has very few opportunities to appear in the animation, the only record was enough to be proud of.
Yuei Vu just didn't know how much strength this duelist from Department D could display.
"It's my turn, draw!" Yuei Vu still played by his own rhythm, "Summon 'Elemental HERO Solid Soldier'!"
A monster card emerged, and a hero in steel armor flew out of it, clenched his fists forcefully, and his body burst out with diamond-like flashes.
[Elemental HERO Solid Soldier, ATK 1300]
"The effect of Solid Soldier!" Yuei Vu waved his hand, "When this card is Normal Summoned: I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower 'HERO' monster from my hand. Come on! Elemental HERO Stratos!"
A white whirlwind, a hero in a high-tech suit fell from the sky, the metal turbine was running at full speed, and there was an invisible gust of wind under his feet.
[Elemental HERO Stratos, ATK 1800]
"The effect of Stratos!" Yuei Vu continued, "When this card is Normal or Special Summoned. I choose 'Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier'."
The Duel Disk performed an automatic retrieval—thanks again to the future man for his generosity. When he finished speaking, Liquid Soldier's card had already popped into his hand.
"Then activate Spell Card – Fusion Substitute!" Yuei Vu played this brand new fusion card that was shipped not long ago, "I fuse 'Elemental HERO Stratos' and 'Elemental HERO Solid State' on the field!
The fusion condition is 1 'Elemental HERO' monster + 1 EARTH monster.
Fusion Summon! Elemental HERO Gaia! "
Stratos turned into a green whirlwind, the Solid Soldier turned into a cloud of muddy flow, and the replaced and fused card opened up a fused vortex on the ground, and the two figures intertwined and submerged into it, erupting into a chaotic storm.
The dark steel image landed heavily, the ground cracked open, and the huge metal element hero stood upright.
[Elemental HERO Gaia, ATK 2200]
"Sure enough, as in the information, you will use the Fusion HERO to launch a strong attack as soon as you come up." Fujino on the side said lightly.
"The effect of Gaia!" Yuei Vu stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "When this card is Fusion Summoned, the attack power of a monster on the opponent's field will be halved until the end of the turn, and the same amount will be added to Gaia's attack power!
Gaia Shock! "
Part of the eyes of Gaia's helmet flashed, and his fists slammed down, cracking the floor like a hammer. The crack spread to the foot of the Volcanic Slicer at a speed visible to the naked eye. The volcanic monster let out a mournful cry, and half of its body sank.
[Volcanic Slicer, ATK 1800 → ATK 900]
[Elemental HERO Gaia, ATK 2200 → ATK 3100]
"At this moment, the effect of 'Elemental HERO Solid Soldier' in the GY!" Yuei Vu waved his hand, ". If this card is sent from the Monster Zone to the GY by a Spell effect: I can target 1 'HERO' monster in my GY, except 'Elemental HERO Solid Soldier'; Special Summon it in Defense Position!"
A card popped out from the GY area of the Duel Disk and was taken back into Yuei Vu's hand.
"Come back! Elemental HERO Stratos!"
A hurricane, accompanied by the hum of the engine, Stratos crouched and landed on the ground this time, arms folded in front of him.
[Elemental HERO Stratos, DEF 300]
"The second effect of Stratos!" Yuei Vu held a big hand, "When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, destroy Spells/Traps on the field, up to the number of 'HERO' monsters I control, except this card.
What exists on my field now is the 'Elemental HERO Gaia'. So, I choose to destroy the set card in your back row! "
Yuei Vu pointed to the set card on the right side of Ueno. Stratos got up immediately, and the turbine spun, releasing a white whirlwind to bombard the card.
The face-down card was blown away, and it turned out to be a Continuous Trap.
Volcanic Armor: As long as this card is face-up on the field, when a Pyro-Type monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, inflict 500 damage to your opponent. (animation card)
It's another LP-burning card, but fortunately, this pit was pulled out in advance. Facing a Burn deck, life points were more precious than in normal games. Especially in an environment where your LP was 4000 instead of 8000.
"Worthy of being the Duel King, as expected, he doesn't leave any room for anyone," Fujino said.
"Hmph, the less you see, the more strange things you encounter. This level is a matter of course." Having said that, the corners of Kaiba's mouth also raised slightly, as if he was quite satisfied with Yuei Vu's performance.
Fujino smiled and didn't answer.
"Battle!" Yuei Vu waved his hand, "'Elemental HERO Gaia', attack the 'Volcanic Slicer'!"
The red eyes on the helmet of Gaia flashed, his huge body rose from the ground, and he flew towards the Volcanic monster with his huge black fists.
"Open the set card!" Ueno waved his hand, "Trap Card – Destruction Ring! Destroy 1 monster on my field, and inflict 1000 damage to both players' Life Points!"
He pointed to the Volcanic Slicer on the field.
"I will destroy the Volcanic Slicer!"
The small finger wheel was put on the Volcanic Slicer, and it exploded with a bang, and burning fragments shot out from the billowing black smoke, flying towards both sides on the field.
[Ueno, LP 4000 → LP 3000]
[Yuei Vu, LP 2500 → LP 1500]
"Ah!" Mokuba was surprised, "I don't hesitate to cut my own life to give effect damage? But in this way…he has to face the direct attack of Gaia!"
[Elemental HERO Gaia, ATK 3100]
If this blow passed, the duel would be over immediately.
However, although he felt that the opponent must still have a backup, of course, Yuei Vu would not give up the opportunity to attack at this time.
"The Battle Replay occurred! Gaia, directly attack the player!"
Gaia dashed forward in one phase, rushing straight in front of Ueno with a loud bang and a massive movement, and punched him down without saying a word!
As expected, the opponent was prepared for this: "Open the set card! Continuous Trap – Firewall! When the opponent declares a direct attack: I can banish 1 Pyro monster in my GY; negate the attack."
A card in his graveyard popped out.
"I remove the 'Volcanic Slicer' from the game, the attack is negated!"
The phantom of the Volcanic Slicer flashed past, turning into a wall of flames to block the front. Gaia's heavy fist slammed into the scorching wall, turning his steel fist into a red color like a soldering iron, but it failed to penetrate after all.
Yuei Vu was not surprised either.
Sure enough, it's not that easy to get the victory…
"Set a card, I end my turn." Yuei Vu said, "At the End Phase, the effect of Gaia ends, and the attack power returns to its original state."
[Elemental HERO Gaia, ATK 3100 → ATK 2200]
