Chapter 618 Ed VS John!

"Huh? Professor Cobra, what do you mean by that?" Ed asked back innocently, as if he had no idea what was going on.

However, based on Cobra's reaction, Ed had actually guessed that there must be something wrong with the bracelet, but he still looked confused and continued, "Isn't that electronic bracelet a small gift from you? I accepted it, what's wrong? Is it that my posture of accepting the gift is wrong? Or does this electronic bracelet have other uses?"

"Haha, you worry too much! Since it's a gift for you, you are free to do whatever you want with it."

Looking at Ed's slightly sarcastic smile, Professor Cobra couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, but he still tried to keep himself calm.

(Ed: "Haha~ There are always villains who want to harm me!")

Although Cobra knew from the beginning that Ed was not an ordinary duelist, he did not expect that the other party's vigilance would be so high.

Resisting the urge to punch Ed in the face, Professor Cobra turned around and walked directly to the center of the duel arena after a perfunctory smile.

As the leader of the Beautiful Country Duel Academy and the referee of this duel, Professor Cobra knew that it seemed impossible to collect the power of the heart from Ed.

However, there are still many students in this Duel Academy. If one's entire plan is affected by a momentary impulse, it would be a loss.

So, despite many dissatisfactions in his heart, Professor Cobra finally chose to give up the idea of ​​​​plotting against Ed.

Secretly comforting himself that there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with this ignorant boy in the future, Professor Cobra took a deep breath and then walked to the center of the duel arena, ready to host this so-called friendly match.

"Then this friendly match officially begins!"

"Duel!" X2

John LP4000

Ed LP4000

"Senior Ed, can you let me attack first?" John asked respectfully.

Ed smiled and said, "Of course, go ahead!"

After getting Ed's consent, John smiled and reached for his duel disk. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He said loudly, "My turn, draw a card!"

John lowered his head to confirm the card in his hand, then raised his hand to show it to Ed.

"Magic card activated, the bond of the gem!"

"You can only activate one card of this name per turn. Its effect is that you can add a Gemmon monster from your deck to your hand, then select a Gemmon monster from your deck with a different name from that monster and use it as a Continuous Magic Card in your Magic & Trap Zone face-up."

"According to this effect, I will add Jade Beast Jade Pegasus from my deck to my hand, and then place Jade Beast Amber Mammoth in my backfield area!"

Ding!

As John spoke, an amber appeared on his backcourt. Seeing such a beautiful gem appear on the field, all the students became excited again.

"Oh, it's the Gemmon deck. I see. So, John in this world is the kind-hearted boy recognized by the Gemmon spirits!"

Sitting in the audience, Li Youfeng smiled and nodded after confirming the card deck used by John. Unlike the original anime, John in the original comic used an insect card deck, which was completely different from the original anime in both tactics and playing style.

Speaking of the Gemmon deck, according to the original anime, in ancient times a country that believed in the power of gems had seven valuable gems. These gems encountered a storm during transportation and sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared.

As if unwilling to remain silent, by chance, these gems were later salvaged from a merchant ship that sank to the bottom of the sea. Eventually Pegasus obtained them and made them into seven gem monsters.

Therefore, there is only one Gemmon monster card in the world, and this deck is therefore known as the most precious deck in the duel world.

These seven gems are obviously not ordinary gems, and as a result, duel elves with different personalities were born. As a deck of all duel elves, Gemmon naturally has the ability to choose its master.

As the original creator of the Gemmon deck, even Pegasus could not bring out the full power of the Gemmon. In a certain duel, John, who was pure-hearted and kind-hearted, was favored by these Gemmon and thus became the true master of this deck.

In the duel arena, John successfully added the retrieved card to his hand, and then slapped it on the duel disk.

"I Normal Summon the Jade Beast Jade Pegasus in Attack Position!" (Attack 1800 Defense 1200)

A cyan gem appeared in front of John. As the gem shattered, a Pegasus with pure white wings flew out of the gem. No one expected that the gem beast would have such a beautiful figure. The students watching the game also cheered for this.

"Oh? Is this Jewelmon? It's really extraordinary just by looking at its appearance!" As the most expensive card deck in the Duel World, Jewelmon is naturally very famous, but in Ed's opinion, the actual combat value of this deck is completely incomparable to the cards made by his father.

Of course, Ed was only thinking about this kind of thing in his mind. If he were to say it to someone's face, it would really be inelegant.

Ed's expression naturally caught the Jade Pegasus's attention. He turned his head slightly to look at John, and said with a serious look in his eyes: "John, your opponent this time is not simple. I can feel that this human named Ed seems to have a powerful duel spirit!"

"Oh? So that's how it is?" Because of Jade Pegasus's reminder, Ed laughed on the spot, "Haha, I said Senior Ed wouldn't be an ordinary duelist. That's good. Although I'm still missing an ace in my deck, this is not a reason to back down. Jade Pegasus, I'm going to use all my strength in this duel."

"Humph, such an opponent is indeed worthy of serious treatment, John, you must not be careless!"

"Of course I won't be careless. After all, I have been looking forward to having a duel with Senior Ed without any regrets!"

After a brief conversation with his Jade Pegasus, John said loudly, "The special effect of Jade Pegasus is activated. This monster can only be activated when it is successfully summoned, flip summoned, or special summoned. I can select a Gem Monster from my hand, deck, or graveyard as a continuous magic card and place it face-up in my magic and trap zone."

"According to this effect, I will place the Jade Beast Emerald Turtle from my deck as a Continuous Magic Card in my Backfield Area!"

An emerald green gem appeared again on the backcourt, and John then inserted a card into the backcourt area of ​​the duel disk.

"Finally, I'm going to cover a card in my back field and end my turn!"

"Is that all?" A strange expression appeared on his face. After shaking his head slightly in disappointment, Ed put his hand on his duel disk.

The reason for this emotion was naturally that Ed subconsciously believed that the duelist whose name his master Li Youfeng could remember must be no ordinary person. However, if the actual battle started, John was obviously unable to give him any obvious pressure.

"My turn, draw a card!"

After drawing a card from his deck, Ed took a look at the opponent's field and couldn't help but want to test the opponent's strength.

“Although I don’t know what you want to do by placing the Gem Beast in your backcourt, this situation is very similar to my Phantom Hero, so it’s better to get rid of it as soon as possible!”

"Quick Attack Magic Card Activate, Magic Effect Arrow!"

"The effect of this card is to destroy all face-up Magic Cards on the opponent's field, and then inflict Effect Damage to the opposing player equal to the number of cards destroyed x 500!"

"There are two continuous magic cards on your backfield now, so you will receive 1000 points of effect damage!"

Whoosh!

"Nani?!"

He never expected that Ed would be such a good card player. Just as John's mouth twitched slightly, he saw an arrow flashing with magic light flew out from the magic card and exploded directly in his backcourt.

Bang!

An explosion sounded, and seeing his two precious jade beasts being destroyed before they even came out of their shells, even John's Jade Pegasus in the frontcourt couldn't help but shed a few drops of cold sweat.

John LP4000＞3000

"Wow~ That's amazing! You're worthy of being Senior Ed!"

"It's too early to be surprised now!"

Ed smiled and took out another card from his hand. He said calmly, "Now I am going to officially attack. Next, I will let you see who is the strongest hero!"

"I Normal Summon, Destiny Hero Diamond Man, Attack Position!" (Attack 1400 Defense 1600)

"Diamond Man's special effect is activated. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can activate it. I can flip over the top card of my deck. If it is a Normal Magic Card, send it to the Graveyard. If not, put it back to the bottom of the deck. If a Normal Magic Card is sent to the Graveyard with this effect, during your next Main Phase, you can activate the effect of that Normal Magic Card in the Graveyard when it is activated."

After pulling out a card from the top of his deck, Ed confirmed the pattern on the card and said with a smile: "The card I just drew is the usual magic card, Water of Life!" (Original anime!)

After showing the card in his hand to John, he threw it directly into the cemetery. Ed then took out another card and slapped it on the duel disk.

"Magic card fusion activates!"

"The fusion condition of this monster is two Destiny Hero monsters!"

"Now, I will send the Destiny Hero Diamond Magician on the field and the Destiny Hero Disc Magician in my hand to the Graveyard as fusion materials!"

"My unyielding faith will cut through all the darkness for me. In the name of freedom, please pave the way forward for me!"

"Fusion Summon, Destiny Hero Dystopia, Attack Position!" (ATK 2800, DEF 2400) (The difference between the original effect and the real card effect is that the damage level of the selected monster effect is limited.)

This is a real card!

As a fusion system completely different from the elemental heroes, all the destiny heroes are dark attribute monsters, and they seem to have the power to break the dark destiny. In Ed's call, only a fully armed hero monster appeared in front of him.

"Oh? Is it Dystopia? The effect of this fusion monster is very troublesome!" Yuki Judai, who was sitting in the audience, had a playful expression on his face as his eyes lit up slightly because of Ed's operation.

The fact is just as Judai said, Ed, who successfully summoned the Dystopian Demon Knight, also showed a very sinister smile at this time.

"The special effect of Dystopia Demon is activated!"

Showing a card in the graveyard to John, Ed said loudly: "When this monster is successfully Fusion Summoned, you can activate it by targeting a monster that is the Fusion Material of this card, and inflict damage equal to the attack power of the opponent's monster."

"The Destiny Hero Diamond Demon in my hand has an attack power of 1400 points. According to this effect, you will receive damage of the same amount!"

"Come on, take it!"

"Dark Souls!"

A black gravity missile quickly condensed in his hand, and the Dystopian Demon Man hit John accurately with it. There was no means of defense at all, and John, who was attacked by the effect, could only protect his head with both hands.

"Goooo!"

"John!"

John LP3000＞1600

Under normal circumstances, although the virtual duel monster images produced by Kaiba Corporation will also simulate some damage feedback, in fact, the attacks that the duelists can feel are much smaller than imagined.

After recovering from the damage from the Dystopian Magician, John wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a wry smile, "You made me so embarrassed in just your first round, Senior Ed, you are really amazing!"

"Haha, forget about the compliments, John, I'm going to attack next!"

Pointing at John, Ed then gave the order to attack.

"Dystopian Demon, attack the Jade Pegasus!"

"Destruction bomb!"

Seeing that his Jade Pegasus was about to be destroyed by the opponent, John decisively clicked the button to start the card.

"Activate the Continuous Trap Card, Baoyu's Linglong!"

"You can only have one copy of this card on your field. Its effect is that the attack power of the gem beast on your field increases by the original defense value!"

"Jade Pegasus's original defense is 1200 points. With this card's effect, this monster's attack power will become 3000 points!"

"Hey, sorry, Senior Ed, you were too careless this time!"

Jade Pegasus attack power 1800＞3000
