"Phew~ That was indeed an effective attack."
Judai, who was knocked to the ground, didn't get up immediately but sat there and suddenly burst into laughter.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Yugen said with a smile.
"Ha, are you kidding?" Judai dusted himself off and stood up, then said with a smile, "I'm just a little bit excited...
This is what it should be like, a duel should be a clash of souls. This way, I can finally feel it, Yugen's fiery soul is really strong."
Yugen smiled, "Does that mean you admit defeat?"
"Heh, how could that be?" Judai said cheerfully, "It's my turn, draw a card!
At this moment, I activate the Cover Card, the Trap Card 'Sixth Sense'!"
The trap card set face-down in Judai's back row was activated.
"Declare two numbers between 1 and 6, and the opponent rolls a dice. If the declared number is rolled, I draw that many cards from my deck.
If it's not, then I send that many cards from the top of my deck to the Graveyard."
"I see," Yugen chuckled softly, "You activate it in the draw phase to bypass the effect of 'Free Ride', huh?"
The effect of Free Ride is that when the opponent draws a card outside of the draw phase, I draw two cards from my deck. Judai activated 'Sixth Sense' during the draw phase, so even if he draws cards due to the effect of Sixth Sense, since it's during the draw phase, Free Ride cannot be activated.
"Provided that you roll the right number," Yugen said.
"Heh, not just drawing cards, I'm pretty confident in my luck too," Judai said, "The numbers I declare are 5 and 6!"
The dice fell, rolled around twice on the field, and slowly stopped.
It landed on the number 6.
"Great! The dice landed on number 6," Judai said, "So, I draw six cards from my deck!"
Yugen wasn't surprised at all. It could only be said that as expected of a seafood-headed player, he rarely missed in such crucial moments.
"Activate Magic Card 'Soul Capturer'!" Judai said, "Destroy one monster on your field, and then you recover 1000 Life Points!"
He pointed to Yugen's field.
"First, let's deal with the most troublesome guy... Destroy 'Chaos Warrior'!"
Yugen responded immediately: "Then I activate the Continuous Trap 'Gate of Dimensions'! Banish one monster on my field from the game.
Banish 'Chaos Warrior' from the game!"
Judai seemed a bit surprised, "Gate of Dimensions?"
The vortex of Dimensions opened, and Chaos Warrior disappeared into it. Judai's destructive magic lost its target and failed to capture it.
"Interesting, really interesting, Yugen! Well then, next, this is my full power, my beloved ace!" Judai said, "First, activate the Speed Attack Magic 'Burial from Another Dimension', which can return up to three monsters banished from the game to the Graveyard.
I'll return 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman' and 'Elemental Hero Lightning Hero' that you banished last turn to the Graveyard."
Judai raised a card in his hand and shouted.
"Magic Card 'Miracle Fusion'!
Banish the Fusion Material monsters from my Graveyard from the game to Fusion Summon an 'Elemental Hero'!
I'm banishing 'Elemental Hero Lightning Hero' from the Graveyard, and a 'Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures - Light' that can substitute any Fusion Material, to perform a Fusion Summon!"
Lightning Hero and the Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures appeared on his field, and after a flash of golden brilliance, the latter quickly morphed into the image of Flame Wingman and was drawn into the fusion vortex alongside Lightning Hero.
"I'm using 'Fusion Curse-Sealed Creatures - Light' to replace 'Elemental Hero Flame Wingman' and fuse with Lightning Hero," Judai said, "Manifest in the shining light—
—Elemental Hero Shining Flame Wingman!!!"
A strong light burst from the fusion vortex, and a metal hero wrapped in Divine Radiance slowly descended. It was Judai's strongest ace at the moment, the evolved form of Flame Wingman after the second fusion.
[Elemental Hero Shining Flame Wingman, Attack Power 2500]
"Here comes your strongest hero," Yugen also smiled.
"Even against legendary monsters, my Elemental Heroes won't be outdone," Judai said loudly, "The monster effect of Shining Flame Wingman!
This card's Attack Power increases by 300 points for each Elemental Hero card in my Graveyard."
As he spoke, images of Elemental Heroes appeared one by one on Judai's field. Besides those who appeared in this duel, there were also heroes that haven't appeared, put into the Graveyard through 'Take Over 5', two Fusion Births, and Card Defenders.
Each Elemental Hero turned into a beam of light and merged into Shining Flame Wingman's body, making him stronger with each beam.
"There are a total of nine Elemental Heroes in the Graveyard!" Judai said, "Therefore, Shining Flame Wingman's Attack Power becomes...
[Elemental Hero Shining Flame Wingman, Attack Power 2500→Attack Power 5200]
"Attack Power of 5200!" The spectators, both teachers and students, couldn't help but be moved.
"Higher than the legendary Obelisk... No, even higher than the legendary Five Emperors Dragon!"
"Not only that, Shining Flame Wingman has the ability to inflict damage equal to the destroyed monster's Attack Power on the opponent..."
Thus, no matter which of Yugen's monsters is destroyed, this punch would directly deal 5200 points of damage, a one-turn kill!
"Judai's strongest hero is indeed a formidable monster with OTK potential. If it hits just once, even at full health, it's an instant kill."
Yugen paused and smiled slightly.
"Such a terrifying fellow can't be allowed to roam free. Activate the Cover Card!
