Chapter 1198: Heaven's Fury Fist
Chapter 1198: Heaven's Fury Fist
Junk Warrior, Attack Power: 4,006!
Facing the strongest Phantom, Yusei Fudo revealed his ace trap card, launching a desperate counterattack!
Yusei Fudo held his breath.
Can I defeat the Phantom?
"Ha ha ha, you're Yusei Fudo, alright. Your trap skills are top-notch."
But his tone quickly shifted.
"But it's not just your 'Warrior' who has the power of traps."
Yusei Fudo's heart sank, sensing something amiss: "What do you mean?"
"Evil Hero The Phantom, as the strongest Phantom, will show you a special ability!"
Youxuan played another card, and as it was raised, an endless sacred blue light erupted from the card, releasing a deafening energy.
The card resonated with the Phantom King!
"Unleash the true power of the Phantom King!" Youxuan shouted. "Discard 'Malefic Baron Laibert - Heaven's Fury Fist' from my hand to activate its effect!"
Yusei Fudo was taken aback: "Another monster effect activated from the hand?"
It was the same type of ability as his own, and even shared the name of the Phantom King's exclusive card!
"Heaven's Fury Fist's effect: by discarding this card from my hand, I can double the Attack Power of my Evil Hero The Phantom for this turn!" Youxuan explained. "And this effect can be activated during the opponent's turn as well."
5DS trio: "What!?"
Another Attack Power doubling!
It was the same type of trap as Yusei Fudo's.
[Evil Hero The Phantom, Attack 4,000 → Attack 8,000]
A punch that shattered the heavens, the Phantom's knuckles condensed into an endless abyss of deep blue flashes, with countless rotating deep blue vortices appearing on the fist. Dominant energy surged like a tsunami, as if tearing through the fabric of another world. But it wasn't real water; it was the roar of an immeasurable torrent of energy, distorting the entire field like a deep-sea pressure.
Boom—
Even with the enhanced Junk Warrior, it was no match. His steel fist shattered upon impact with the Phantom King's, turning into a shower of fragments.
Yusei Fudo: "Ugh!"
[Crow Hogan/Jack Atlas/Yusei Fudo, LP 11,000 → LP 7,600]
The trio shared Life Points, and the massive damage of over 3,000 points, accompanied by a real impact, nearly knocked them off their feet. If they were riding Duel Disks, most D-Wheels would likely have flipped over from such a blow.
Crow Hogan clutched his ribs, gritting his teeth: "What kind of opponent is this? Yusei Fudo set up such a perfect defense, and yet he can still counter with an Attack Power boost!"
Jack Atlas also felt frustrated: "Does this guy have more power than all of us combined!?"
"You haven't seen the end of it. The strongest Phantom is far from done."
Youxuan smiled.
"Evil Hero The Phantom - Heaven's Fury Fist has another effect!
With its power unleashed, the Phantom King can attack each of your monsters once this turn!"
The trio's faces paled.
What!?
An Attack Power of 8,000, and multiple attacks.
"Are you kidding me!?" Crow Hogan was stunned.
Yusei Fudo added: "This is the power of the Phantoms, Goodwin's power."
Youxuan waved it off, saying, "Sit down, sit down. It's a basic move. I've seen a dragon that overloads to 10,000 attack and attacks a dozen times in one turn. This is small potatoes by comparison."
Youxuan gestured: "Evil Hero The Phantom, attack Jack Atlas's 'Red Lotus Dragon' next!"
The second punch!
A punch that shattered space, like a cannon blast piercing the heavens. Jack Atlas's pride, his Tamashi Red Lotus Dragon, was nothing more than a mere fly under this punch, offering no resistance.
"Ah—"
[Crow Hogan/Jack Atlas/Yusei Fudo, LP 7,600 → LP 2,600]
The shockwave swept across the field, and the Red Lotus Dragon was effortlessly annihilated in the flames. The trio was once again blasted away.
The crowd was stunned.
"This is... too strong."
It was the first time he felt that even if Yusei Fudo and the others worked together, they still had a huge gap to close with the towering presence on the Apocalypse Altar.
Luna also felt disheartened: "We can't win. Against such an enemy..."
Seeing his sister's disappointment, Rua quickly rallied, trying to encourage her: "What are you saying! The Signers Yusei Fudo and the others won't lose!"
But even as he offered words of comfort, he felt uneasy.
Can they really win against such a foe?
"Although the Phantom King can still attack..."
Youxuan's gaze swept over the trio's field, landing on Crow Hogan's "Black-Winged Dragon (Armored Mode)."
"But the Armored Wing can't be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage from fighting it is 0. Attacking it would be pointless. I'll pass on the attack."
Youxuan shrugged.
The trio's hearts, which had been on edge, eased slightly.
Thankfully, Crow Hogan's Armored Wing was still there. If it were any other monster, the third punch from the Phantom King would have finished them off.
Youxuan added: "During the End Phase, Evil Hero The Phantom's Attack Power returns to normal."
[Evil Hero The Phantom, Attack 8,000 → Attack 4,000]
Crow Hogan: "Now it's my turn!"
But Crow Hogan's momentum was far from what it was before. Goodwin's strong performance and the Phantom's appearance had shifted the tide of the Duel in the opponent's favor. As the only ordinary person on the field, despite being a top-tier Duelist, he felt a significant pressure facing the Phantom.
Crow Hogan shook his head.
No matter what, he couldn't be a burden to Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas.
"I Special Summon 'Blackfeather - Blackgun Blaster'!"
A black bird-warrior appeared in a swirling black feather storm, its spiral spear piercing a transparent vortex.
[Blackfeather - Blackgun Blaster, Attack Power 1,700]
Youxuan responded: "In that case, Evil Hero The Phantom's effect activates.
When the opponent Normal Summons, Special Summons, or Flip Summons a monster, I Special Summon the same number of 'Malefic Tokens' to my field." (Original effect)
In the real card game, this effect only activates when the opponent Normal Summons a monster, while in the anime, it triggers regardless of the summon method.
[Malefic Tokens, Defense 1,000]
"By the way", Youxuan smiled, "Evil Hero The Phantom's effect allows it to absorb the Attack Power of two monsters on my field by releasing them, until the end of the turn."
Yusei Fudo: "So, if we Summon monsters, the Phantom King will Summon an equal number of tokens, which can then be converted into its power?"
"Even if I'm not a Signer, my fighting spirit won't be any less than Yusei Fudo's and the others!" Crow Hogan declared.
Yusei Fudo was moved: "Crow Hogan..."
Crow Hogan shouted: "Fight! Black-Winged Dragon (Armored Mode), attack 'Evil Hero The Phantom'!"
