“Fusion Summon! Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman!”

“It looks like a powerful monster.” Sister Shizuka whispered, “and it’s so warm.”

“Yeah.” Jonouchi also nodded and said, “And he’s very handsome! Yuei Vu uses some super handsome heroes! But even so, the monsters in Yugi have higher attack power!”

However, Yugi was not as optimistic as his friend was at this time.

No, this monster born from double fusion must have hidden powerful special abilities!

“The effect of the Shining Flare Wingman,” Yuei Vu’s commentary immediately confirmed his conjecture, “For every Elemental HERO monster in the graveyard, his attack power will increase by 300 points!”

While speaking, the Elemental HEROes who were sleeping in his graveyard had turned into phantoms and appeared on the field.

Solid Soldier, Blazeman, Avian, Burstinatrix, Gaia, Flame Wingmanman, Sparkman, and Clayman who was discarded by the effect of Liquid Soldier.

“There are eight Elemental HERO monsters in my graveyard in total. So the attack power goes up… 2400 points!” Yuei Vu shouted.

[Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman, ATK 2500 → ATK 4900]

“Attack power…4900!?” The audience was shocked.

What kind of fight I saw today!?

The Egyptian gods exited the stage one after another, but I didn’t expect that it was just the beginning!

The exchange of moves and the reversal of trump cards in this duel simply exceeded the limit that all ordinary duelists in this era could imagine!

Regardless of the outcome, the gold content of this battle has already reached a new height. No matter which of the two sides won, no one dared to be not convinced.

“Is this your full strength, Yuei Vu? Sure enough, you are very strong.” Yugi smiled, “But you should also know that even so, the attack power of the Shining Flare Wingman can’t surpass that of Dark Cavalry!

Not only that! With the use of Spell Trap Cards, the attack power of the Dark Cavalry will be further improved! ”

After summoning the Dark Cavalry in the last turn, Yugi used the Spell Card “Quick Attack”, and one more card was set on the field, so the attack power of Dark Cavalry increased by 200.

The Spell Cards used by Yuei Vu in this turn were Card of Demise, Forbidden Chalice, Polymerization, and Fusion Recovery, a total of four cards, so the attack power of the Dark Cavalry has been increased by 400 again.

[Dark Cavalry, ATK 5000 → ATK 5600]

Snow Wave under the stage clenched his fists in anger: “Damn! Shining Flare Wingman’s attack power is already 4900, but it still lacks 700 points!”

“It’s not over yet, Yugi.” Yuei Vu chuckled, “In order to respond to your full strength, I have to go all out on my side, show the limit that I can achieve now, and use my true full strength to deal with it!

So, look at it, this is my limit! ”

Yuei Vu inserted the card into the Duel Disk and shouted: “Equip Spell – Favorite Hero! This card can be equipped only to a Level 5 or higher ‘HERO’ monster. I will equip it for ‘Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman’!”

“Equip Spell?” Yugi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, “That’s it! That’s why you forced me to use the effect of the ‘Dark Cavalry’…”

“That’s right,” Yuei Vu smiled, “If you still have cards in your hand, you can now use the special ability of the ‘Dark Cavalry’ to negate ‘Favorite Hero’.”

“So it is your true purpose.” Yugi understood.

“Entering the Battle Phase!” Yuei Vu shouted, “At this moment, the effect of ‘Favorite Hero’ is activated! I can activate 1 Field Spell directly from my hand or Deck! ”

“Field Spell? So you say it’s coming?” said Yugi, “A stage suitable for heroic battles?”

“That’s right, it looks like you know it too.” Yuei Vu also smiled, “I’m going to activate… Field Spell – Skyscraper from the deck!”

The earth trembled, and the reinforced concrete building rose up in an instant. The dark building, the steel structure, and the image of the bright moon hanging in the sky, and the hero who shines with divine brilliance floats in the air.

“Next is the effect of the Favorite Hero!” Yuei Vu continued, “If there is a card in my Field Zone, the equipped monster gains ATK equal to its original DEF, also the opponent cannot target it with card effects!

The Shining Flare Wingman’s DEF is 2100, so now his attack power…”

[Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman, ATK 4900 → ATK 7000]

Jonouchi was dumbfounded: “Attack… attack power 7000!?”

What kind of monster is this?

It turns out that there is still such a terrifying attack power in this game?

Facing such a power, even the most powerful monster of Kaiba, “Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon”, is nothing but a small fry, right?

“Attack power 7000…” Yugi said solemnly, “Sure enough, Yuei Vu, you are the strongest duelist I have ever fought against.”

“You are praising me too much, it’s just luck.”

Yuei Vu said with a smile, and at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally, turned his head to look at the Dark Magician Girl beside him.

……Of course, I have to thank my spirit partner to a large extent.

Dark Magician Girl also blushed pretty at this time, and seemed to be excited about the duel that was gradually entering its climax. She clenched her fists and cheered her master silently, and at the same time hoped that this attack would directly establish the victory and decide that her master would directly win the title of Duel King…

……

…Speaking of which, what did the master keep watching me?

Because of the appearance of “Skyscrapers” and “Favorite Hero” on the field, the attack power of the Dark Cavalry has been further improved.

[Dark Cavalry, ATK 5600 → 5800]

Of course, the impact of this improvement has been minimal.

The Shining Flare Wingman also inherited the effect of its fusion material Flame Wingman and could deal damage equal to the original ATK of the monster destroyed in battle.

If this blow was passed, the victory would be established directly!

“Continue to fight, this is the last blow!”

At least that’s what Yuei Vu hoped from the bottom of his heart.

“Shining Flare Wingman, attack Dark Cavalry!” Yuei Vu gave the final attack order for this duel, “Shining Flame Shoot!”

The metal hero received the order and launched an extremely fast charge!

He turned into an afterimage, with a transparent white flash behind him, like a bullet piercing through the space, roaring and charging towards the magical cavalry.

Facing the aggressive charge of the high-tech warriors in front of him, the faithful servant on the magic side was not far behind, with a pitch-black flame all over his body, he raised his spear and launched a charge.

The two forces, one light and one dark, collided violently, the light and dark broke out alternately, and the surging energy was released.

“What… how is it?” Jonouchi forced himself to open his eyes with difficulty, trying to confirm the situation on the field.

This was also the question that everyone was most concerned about.

What was the result of the duel?

Did Yugi… lose?

The terrifying energy of the two collisions gradually dissipated, the smoke screen gradually dissipated, and the image on the duel field recovered.

The first thing that grabbed everyone’s attention from the smokescreen was the Shining Flare Wingman with holy light shining all over his body and gorgeous special effects. At a glance, everyone saw that this handsome hero was still safe and sound on Yuei Vu’s field, and Yuei Vu, who was guarded by him behind him, looked equally safe.

【Yuei Vu, LP 500】

Jonouchi was surprised: “Then… Yugi is lost???”

“No… that’s not right.” President Kaiba couldn’t keep his composure at this moment, his eyes widened, and he wished he could quickly climb up the stage to personally confirm the situation.

Immediately afterward, the figure of Yugi also appeared, and he was also safe and sound… Even the Dark Cavalry on his field was still there.

【Yugi, LP 2000】

“It’s a pity, you indeed had a good chance of just now.” Yugi smiled and expressed appreciation, and at the same time a card in the GY area popped up, “But the moment the attack is declared, I used the Electromagnetic Turtle’s effect!

Once per Duel, during the opponent’s Battle Phase, I can banish this card from my GY to end the Battle Phase! ”

“Electromagnetic Turtle…” Kaiba retracted the neck that stretched like a giraffe, folded his arms, and returned to a calm look, “This is a card previously discarded as the cost of Dark Cavalry’s effect?

Hmph, the calculation is quite far, and when the attack power of the ‘Dark Cavalry’ still has an absolute advantage, he has already been on guard against such a move.

But he isYugi after all, so it’s only natural to do this…”

“As expected of Yugi.” Yuei Vu closed his eyes gently, smiled, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

But, yes, it doesn’t matter!

Today I will also perform a real divine draw!

Yuei Vu raised the card in his hand – the last card in his hand.

“Activate Spell Card – Surprise Attack from Beyond!” (animation card)

“What!?” Everyone was shocked at the same time.

There have been too many reversals in this round. The fierce offensive and defensive exchanges were dizzying, and the unexpected unfolding one after another even made everyone feel a little numb.

But this card was definitely the most familiar to Marik.

In the original animation, it was Yami Marik who used this card in the final, giving the Sun God in the form of a phoenix a second chance to attack Yugi.

Since Marik had consciously handed over the entire deck to Yuei Vu at the end of the match, this card naturally changed its surname to Vu.

“Surprise Attack from Beyond can only be used at the end of the battle phase!” explained Marik’s friend in charge, who had been washed white. “The player can conduct the Battle Phase again, then only one monster summoned within this turn can attack again!”

“It can attack again!?”

Miss Anzu was so worried that she couldn’t help but cried out, “Yugi!”

“Fight again!” Yuei Vu shouted loudly, “Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman, attack! This time, destroy the Dark Cavalry for real!”

[Dark Cavalry, ATK 5800 → ATK 5900]

Because of the appearance of “Surprise Attack from Beyond”, the attack power of the Dark Cavalry continued to increase.

In most situations, 5900 ATK was insurmountable. However, at this time, it was meaningless in front of the Shining Flare Wingman.

[Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman, ATK 7000]

This time, Yugi finally had no means to resist this attack. Shining Flare Wingman’s charge ripped apart the magic power blasted by the Dark Cavalry, knocked off the spiral spear, and the latter swirled continuously in mid-air.

The silver bullet-like impact ripped apart the body of the cavalry, and the horse let out an unwilling cry before dying. Technology triumphed over magic, and the invincible knight was torn to shreds in the sky-high blast.

【Yugi, LP 2000 → LP 900】

Yugi subconsciously raised his hand to block in front of him, and at the same time, his body took another half-step back due to the impact.

“This is the real end!” Yuei Vu continued shouting, “Shining Flare Wingman’s effect is activated! If this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the GY, inflict damage to the opponent equal to that monster’s original ATK in the GY!

The original attack power of the Dark Cavalry is 2800. So take 2800 effect damage, Yugi-san! ”

After breaking through the obstacles, Shining Flare Wingman soared high into the air, then dived and fell to the front of Yugi, folded his arms, and his whole body shone with light.

Yuei Vu’s pupils shrunk, feeling as if his heartbeat had disappeared.

–I win!

This time I really won!

I really did it! I become the champion of the Battle City and get the title of Duel King!

“I see, there is such an effect…” Yugi suddenly said to himself.

Obviously, he didn’t know that the Shining Flare Wingman had the effect of additional damage before.

Yugi suddenly raised his head and chuckled lightly.

“It is indeed a very powerful special ability. If a duelist is not careful, he may be killed instantly. But at this moment, this powerful effect has become a burden.”

Yuei Vu had an extremely ominous premonition, and at the same time, his eyes quickly focused on Yugi’s feet——

——There is also a set card!

Throughout the history of Yu-Gi-Oh, has there been a duel in which the set card was not useful in any way?

It seemed that… there was no one.

“At the moment when your ‘Shining Flare Wingman’ activates the effect, my set card also activates!” Yugi shouted, “Counter Trap – Face-Off!

If a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated when two monsters are fighting: Negate the activation and destroy that card! ”

“What!?” Yuei Vu was taken aback.

Did Yugi still have this trick?

According to real-life rules, it should be a card that can only be activated during the Damage Step of the battle. And after the Dark Cavalry was destroyed, the Damage Step should also be over.

However, the battle process in this period of DM was obviously not so carefully divided. Many cards in real life would be stated in the actual card text that it could only be activated “at the time of the attack declaration” or “when the damage is calculated”, but in the manga, it would be described simply as “when two monsters are fighting”.

“It’s a pity, Yuei Vu, if the effect is successfully activated this time, I will lose 2800 LP and lose this duel,” Yugi said, “but according to the ‘Face-Off”, the activation of the ability of the Shining Flare Wingman will be invalidated, and it will also be destroyed.

And because this effect doesn’t target a specific monster, your Equip Spell ‘Favorite Hero’ can’t protect your monster from this effect! ”

“Beautiful counterattack!” Jonouchi was overjoyed, “As expected of Yugi, there is still a trump card like this in the end!”

Kaiba also snorted: “Is the outcome finally decided this time?”

Shining Flare Wingman was destroyed, and Yuei Vu had no cards left in his hand, so he could only face the next turn of Yugi with an empty field.

Moreover, he had only 500 LP left. In such a situation, it was basically equivalent to a death sentence.

By this time, the reversal of this duel was enough.

Both sides in this duel have exhausted everything, and they have used all their cards. Even if they were defeated now, absolutely no one would underestimate Yuei Vu because of this result.

But…is this really the end?

“Okay, you are really good.” Yuei Vu smiled helplessly, “I originally wanted to take a gamble, surpass my limit in this, and try to see if I have a chance to defeat you…

…but unfortunately, it always seems to be lacking a little bit. It is really not that easy to surpass the Duel King. ”

“But at the same time, I have tried my best.” Yugi laughed, “You have played well enough. This is also my last resort, and I have no other trick left.”

The implication was that “this is my last printed card, and even I feel it is too much to print again”…

Yuei Vu closed his eyes.

“Since that’s the case… then let me show the respect you deserve.” He opened his eyes, and showed a solemn expression.

Let me borrow your power again, President Kaiba!

“Open the set card!” Yuei Vu shouted, “Trap card – Ring of Destruction!”

“What!!?” x10086

Everyone in the audience was shocked, especially President Kaiba who entrusted his younger brother to hand over this “Ring of Destruction” to Yuei Vu.

Actually… at this last moment, was there a Ring of Destruction hidden?

Yugi immediately understood: “Is it a card that has been set in the last turn?”

“That’s right.” Yuei Vu smiled, “Ring of Destruction is a card that destroys a monster on the field and inflicts damage equal to the monster’s ATK to both players.

Originally, before you summoned the ‘Dark Cavalry’, I had the opportunity to try the Ring of Destruction to blow up the Flame Wingman on my field, which will also directly lead to the current ending.

But I still want to try to surpass you… but I still can’t do it. ”

After all, he used a Thousands of Years Banned Card. There was a reason why Ring of Destruction was called “Ring of Forced DRAW”.

Yuei Vu shrugged helplessly.

Humans always had to know and be content.

At this point, he has done everything he could, and he had nothing to regret.

""

“So in the end, at least allow me to turn the table over.”

“So it is. ” Yugi smiled lightly, and closed his eyes, “That one blow full of your fiery determination, I’ll do it next!”

Favorite Hero would make the equipped monster “cannot be targeted by the opponent’s effect”, but the Ring of Destruction was activated by Yuei Vu himself, so he could still target the Shining Flare Wingman.

Originally, according to the actual card rules, Ring of Destruction, as a Normal Trap Card, could not be activated as a chain to the Counter Trap Card “Face-Off”. However, there was obviously no statement about the Speed Spell in the current duel rules.

If it must be judged according to the actual card rules, in fact, both sides had used their BISS ability, and no one had the right to complain…

“Ring of Destruction’s effect is activated!” Yuei Vu raised his hand and shouted, “Destroy my own ‘Shining Flare Wingman’, and then both of us will simultaneously receive damage equal to the current attack power of the Shining Flare Wingman…

…that’s a total of 7000 damage! ”

The Ring of Destruction was launched, and the flashing hero exploded in the center of the field, bursting into a group of sparkling fireworks, and at the same time bringing the end of the long duel.

【Yugi, LP 900 → LP 0】

【Yuei Vu, LP 500 → LP 0】
