Seeing his invincible Arcana Force EX disappear from the field and turn into a big, silly turtle lying on his field and yawning, Saio was dumbfounded.

Then he remembered something even worse.

Wait, the effect of The Dark Ruler…

“The reverse effect of The Dark Ruler is that when it leaves the field, all cards on the field must be destroyed, right?” Judai smiled brightly, “So now that The Dark Ruler has been eaten by the Sea Turtle, all cards on your field must also be destroyed!”

“Aa … When this duel started, he was still confident that he would have a hell of a fight today. He specially thought of a hell of a combination of The Fool and Death Parade, vowing to make this hateful jellyfish head’s mind explode.

In the end, he never expected that he would be the one whose mind exploded.

[Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju, ATK 2200]

But Saio felt that he could still be saved!

“Open the set card: Continuous Trap – Scrum Force!” Saio waved his hand, “While I control 2 or more face-up Defense Position monsters, those monsters cannot be destroyed by card effects!” (anime effect)

“Then I chain with the Trap Card ‘Desert Sunlight’. All monsters on my side of the field are changed to face-up Defense Position.

Now I have ‘Arcana Force III – The Empress’ and ‘Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju’ in defense position on the field, so none of my monsters can be destroyed by effects!”

“But ‘Scrum Force’ itself will be destroyed by the effect of ‘Arcana Force EX – The Dark Ruler’.” Judai reminded.

Saio said, “And that’s not all! I chain to it with the Trap Card ‘Waboku’!” He turned over another face-up card in the backfield, “This turn, my monsters will not be destroyed by battle, and I take no battle damage!”

The Light Barrier quickly disappeared from the field, and the darkness that erupted when The Dark Ruler left the field swept across Saio’s entire field. The torrent of destruction swept through everything, but all Saio’s monsters withstood it firmly.

“What a pity.” Saio laughed again, “You missed the victory again, Yuki Judai!”

With the protection “Waboku”, Saio’s monsters on the field could not be destroyed by battle, and all battle damage Saio received this turn was 0.

Iron-wall defense!

“It seems so.” Judai smiled, “But my turn is not over yet.”

“Huh?”

Saio frowned slightly as if he had an ominous premonition.

“I summon ‘Keeper of Dragon Magic’!”

[Keeper of Dragon Magic, ATK 1800]

“Keeper of Dragon Magic’s effect – If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: I can discard 1 card; add 1 ‘Polymerization’ Normal Spell Card or ‘Fusion’ Normal Spell Card from my Deck to my hand.

I add the Spell Card ‘Miracle Fusion’ to the hand.”

Judai took a card from the deck and immediately played it.

“Activate the Spell Card ‘Miracle Fusion’!” Judai said, “Fusion Summon 1 ‘Elemental HERO’ Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck, by banishing Fusion Materials from my field or GY!”

Judai drew two cards that popped up from the graveyard.

“I remove the ‘Elemental HERO Neos’ and ‘Yubel’ from the graveyard and fuse them!”

Judai’s two trump cards, Neos and Yubel, both appear from the graveyard, turning into two beams of light, one gold and one purple, and merging into the fusion vortex in mid-air!

“The fusion condition is ‘Elemental HERO Neos’ + ‘Yubel’!

When the power of dragons and demons meets the fluctuations of the universe, the brilliance of wisdom will shine on the earth—-

—-Elemental HERO Neos Kluger!!!”

Neos, who has obtained the power of Yubel, has evolved into a new form, with black armor attached to his front, and black wings similar to Yubel spread out behind Neos! The blue light that embraces everything blooms and flickers continuously in the core on the chest of Neos!

[(Elemental HERO Neos Kluger, ATK 3000)]

“It’s Neos Kluger,” the arrival of this powerful monster obviously made Saio feel a little uneasy, but he still said in a deep voice, “But even if this kind of monster is summoned, it’s meaningless now.

His power is not enough to break through the defense line on my field!”

“That’s hard to say.”

Judai smiled mysteriously and then drew another card that popped out from the graveyard.

“The card that was just discarded to the graveyard by ‘Keeper of Dragon Magic’ is ‘Makyura the Destructor’. During the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate Trap Cards from my hand!”

“Activate a trap card from your hand?” Saio frowned, “But this turn my monsters can’t be destroyed by battle, and the battle damage I receive is 0! What can a mere trap do…

… What!?”

Saio stared at the trap that Judai had played on the field with his eyes wide open.

What the hell is that?

“Trap Card ‘Massivemorph’,” Judai said, “Target 1 face-up monster the opponent controls; its ATK and DEF become double its current ATK and DEF, but it cannot attack directly!

I will target your ‘Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju’ with ‘Massivemorph’!”

[Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju, ATK 2200/DEF 3000 – ATK 4400/DEF 6000]

Saio: “?”

What are you doing again?

Giving me a big monster, and with equipment too? Are you so polite?

Judai smiled and pointed to the hero on his field.

“The effect of Elemental HERO Neos Kluger – If this card battles an opponent’s monster: I can inflict damage to the opponent equal to that opponent’s monster’s ATK before damage calculation.”

Saio: “!”

Wait a minute, does that mean…

[Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju, ATK 4400]

[Saio, LP 4000]

“! ! ! !”

Saio stared at the silly Sea Turtle on his field with wide eyes, and the Sea Turtle also glanced at him lazily with his eyes slanted, and that disdainful look seemed to ask: What are you looking at?

“Battle!” Judai waved his hand, “Elemental HERO Neos Kluger, attack ‘Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju’!!!”

Saio’s monsters could not be destroyed by battle, and could not even cause battle damage. It was indeed basically equivalent to an iron wall…

…but effect damage could work!

The wiseman of Neo Space flew up, and the azure light enveloped his whole body, looking down as if he was about to explode!

The Sea Turtle stood up slowly, not only did he not show any intention of resisting, but his posture seemed to say—-

—-Fire at me!

Saio: Ah, ah, don’t come over here!!!

The azure light washed over the Sea Turtle. However, because Gameciel had a higher defense, it would not be destroyed. Because Gameciel was in Defense Position, Neos Kluger would not be destroyed. Because the effect was resolved before damage calculation, Judai would not be hurt by the backlash.
