Chapter 795: The Dueling Sword Battle
Chapter 795: The Dueling Sword Battle
"Hold it, kid."
Decade took a few steps forward, and as expected, a person appeared, blocking his path and revealing a Duel Disk.
"Meeting Melo-sama isn't that easy."
"I thought so too."
Decade showed no signs of disappointment and, instead, looked eager as he swiftly opened his Duel Disk.
"Let's duel and talk!"
"Hmph, you're quite straightforward." The Syndicate member smirked.
"Duel!" x2
"I'll go first and draw a card!" The Syndicate member declared, "I summon 'Furious Anthropoid'!"
[Furious Anthropoid, ATK 2000]
"Oh, a monster with an ATK of 2000 right from the start. Not bad." Decade laughed, "Now, my turn.
I summon 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman'!"
[Elemental Hero Bubbleman, ATK 800]
"Bubbleman's summon is successful. If there are no other cards in my field, I draw two cards from my deck."
"Then, I activate the Spell Card Fusion! Fusing 'Elemental Hero Wingsman' from my hand and 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman' on the field!
Fusion Summon, 'Elemental Hero Sailorman'!"
[Elemental Hero Sailorman, ATK 1400]
The opponent immediately taunted, "What a fuss for a Fusion, and it's just a weakling with 1400 ATK."
"My Elemental Heroes are no weaklings." Decade smiled confidently, "I activate the Equip Spell Card 'Mage Power' and equip it to Sailorman.
For each Spell or Trap Card in my field, the ATK of the equipped monster increases by 500."
"Then, I set a card in the backrow.
Next, I activate the Equip Spell Card 'Assault Armor'!"
A new piece of equipment appeared, like a layer of burning energy armor, enveloping Sailorman. It was a spell from GX, and although it had no direct relation to the Elemental Heroes or the Neo-Spacians, the card illustration depicted a power-up version of Neos.
"If there's only one Warrior-Type monster in my Monster Zone, equip it to that monster, and the ATK of the equipped monster increases by 300.
Now, there are a total of three Spell and Trap Cards in my backrow, so Mage Power's effect increases the ATK by another 1500."
[Elemental Hero Sailorman, ATK 3200]
"Its ATK suddenly rose to 3200?" The Syndicate member's face twitched.
"Furthermore, Elemental Hero Sailorman's effect allows it to attack the opponent directly while it's in a face-down Defense Position!"
"Nani?!" The Syndicate member's face paled.
With an ATK of 3200 and the ability to attack directly,
"But this is nothing. The light within me can withstand this."
"No, it won't work." Decade interrupted mercilessly, "Before that, I'll activate the other effect of Assault Armor.
Send the equipped card to the Graveyard, and during this turn, the equipped monster can attack twice in the Battle Phase!"
[Elemental Hero Sailorman, ATK 3200 → ATK 2400]
"Sailorman's direct attack!" Decade declared, "Double strike!"
Sailorman's weapon, resembling an anchor with a long chain, shot out from his back, piercing through the Syndicate member's chest.
"Ugh!"
[Syndicate Member, LP 4000 → LP 0]
The white-clad man knelt on the ground, feeling the enormous, twisted shadow of the red-clad youth behind him, an insurmountable obstacle.
The duel was over.
This is too much; I couldn't even play my cards.
Decade happily stepped over the unconscious man, excitedly rubbing his hands.
"Well, who's next? I'm really looking forward to it."
The top floor. Melo stood up slowly in his office, sipping red wine and narrowing his eyes. He spoke to himself as if in a daze.
"You had your friends distract everyone while you sneaked in here yourself?"
He spoke to the empty room.
"Is that really okay? You've left your friends in a dire situation."
"It's fine. They'll have fun."
Youxuan stepped out from the shadows in the room, smiling.
"Your little brothers aren't much use, but there are quite a lot of them. If they had to fight their way in, it would take a lot of time, and I don't even know if you'd run away. So..."
"Ha!"
Melo laughed dryly.
"You don't have to worry about that. I don't plan on running again."
The Perfect Edition is read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar is the first novel published here.
He stood up, his eyes taking on a dangerous look.
"At least I won't let you go until I'm completely rid of you."
"Good, I was counting on you to say that." Youxuan stepped forward, "You kidnapped Bekas CEO and borrowed his power. Your Deck should have been significantly improved, right?"
"Well, you can see for yourself." Melo smiled faintly, "I guarantee you won't be disappointed."
"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to it."
Both stood on either side of the room.
"Duel!" x2
[Youxuan, LP 4000]
[Melo, LP 4000]
"I'll go first. Draw a card." Melo said, "I summon 'Battle Beast Shield Fighter' in attack mode!"
A white standing tiger holding a heavy shield appeared on the field, letting out a mighty tiger's roar.
[Battle Beast Shield Fighter, ATK 1600]
Melo: "Then I'll set two cards in the back row. End of my turn."
"My turn, draw a card!" Youxuan said, "I want to experience the power of the sword-fighting warriors from ancient Rome."
Activate the Continuous Spell, 'Volcano Wall'!
The ground split open with flames, and a fiery barrier rose into the air, forming a Great Wall-like structure that protected Youxuan.
Volcano Wall, a card from Ossein O'Brien's Volcano Deck in the anime. Although it never received a physical release, it is included in the Yu-Gi-Oh! video games, such as the Card Power series and the Duel Links mobile game.
"Volcano Wall sends the top three cards from your Deck to the Graveyard. If any of them are Pyro-Type monsters, inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each."
The effect of this card in the single-player games is consistent with the aforementioned anime effect. Only in Duel Links, the 4000 LP environment might make the burn effect seem a bit weak, so the damage of this card and most direct burn effects have been halved.
Youxuan drew three cards from his Deck and revealed them.
"Two Pyro-Types, inflicting 1000 damage."
The fiery Great Wall cheered, and two flames shot out one after the other, exploding on Melo's face.
[Melo, LP 4000 → LP 3000]
"Volcano." Melo frowned slightly.
This was a Deck that the Duel King had never used in the anime, but he knew that it was common for him to switch between different Decks.
Was he looking down on me and testing a new strategy on me?
Or was it... a special preparation to counter me?
