Chapter 627: Ed VS Darnness!
"Special effects for the elemental hero Solidus!"
Activating the monster's effect at the right time, Ed continued, "When this monster is successfully summoned, I can activate it. I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Hero monster from my hand."
"According to this effect, I will Special Summon, Destiny Hero Fear Servant in Attack Position!" (ATK 400, DEF 700) (Original anime effect.)
This is a real card
"The special effect of the Fate Hero Fear Servant, when this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, you can place a clock counter on the Clock Tower of the Field Spell Card Hell!"
The clock of the Hell Clock Tower began to tick due to the effect of the Fear Servant. After obtaining a counter, Ed raised his hand and played another card.
"Activate the magic card and fuse!"
"The fusion condition for this monster is two hero monsters with different attributes!"
"Now, I will send the Elemental Hero Solidus and the Destiny Hero Fear Servant on my field to the graveyard as fusion materials!"
"The light of the first dawn will guide the way forward, shining with the glory of freedom, please respond to my call and show up now!"
"Fusion Summon, Elemental Hero Sunrise Man, Attack Position!" (Attack 2500, Defense 1200)
"Special effects for the elemental hero Sunrise!"
"When this monster is Special Summoned with this card, I can add a Miracle Bind from my Deck to my Hand."
"Also, the Elemental Hero Sunrise's continuous effect is that the attack power of the monsters on your field increases by 200 points equal to the type of monsters on your field!"
Elemental Hero Sunrise Attack Power 2500＞2900
After successfully increasing the monster's attack power, Ed then showed a card in the graveyard.
"Another special effect of Elemental Hero Solidifier activates. When this monster is sent from the Monster Zone to the Graveyard by the effect of a Spell Card, you can Special Summon a Hero Monster other than Elemental Hero Solidifier in your Graveyard in Defense Position."
"Now, obey my call and revive from the graveyard, Destiny Hero Disc Devil!" (Attack 300 Defense 300) (Original anime!)
This is a real card!
"Disc Demon's special effect is activated. When this monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, I can draw two cards from my Deck!"
Relying on the effects of Sunrise and Discman, Ed directly replenished his hand cards while summoning monsters. It must be said that this smooth operation made Darkness' eyes full of murderous intent again.
Glancing at the cards he had just received, Ed couldn't help but sneer and said, "Hehe, it seems that my luck is pretty good. I will then activate the magic card Angel's Charity. According to the effect, I will draw three cards from the deck and send two cards to the graveyard."
"Finally, I will cover two cards on my backcourt and end my turn!"
"World champion Ed Phoenix is really quite skilled!" Instead of starting his round right away, Darkness let out bursts of cold laughter. The laughter seemed to come from the abyss, making people shudder.
"What a pity. If you hadn't followed the wrong master, you would have become an excellent duelist! But there aren't so many ifs in this world. Now, let me take the first step in my revenge!"
Darkness' voice was filled with hatred and resentment, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.
"It's my turn, draw a card!" The aura of darkness lingered on Darkness' fingertips, and as a card was drawn into his hand, his eyes became more and more ferocious.
"Oh, it's this card? Well, I'll let you die under the card made by your father!"
"Nani? The card my father made?"
Ed couldn't help but widen his eyes because of Darkness' words. After a brief surprise, he gritted his teeth and raised his hand to point to the Hell Clock Tower behind him.
"The special effect of the Hell's Clock Tower is that you can get another clock token at the beginning of the opponent's turn!"
"Hmph, a mere trifle!" Darkness shook his head nonchalantly as he watched the pointer begin to move again, then slammed the card in his hand heavily on the duel disk.
"Activate magic card, fusion of fate!"
"This card's name can only be activated once per turn. Its effect is that you can send the Fusion Material Monster determined by the Fusion Monster Card from your hand or deck to the Graveyard. After that, I can Fusion Summon the Fusion Monster with the Destiny Hero Monster as the Fusion Material from the Extra Deck."
"In addition, the monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed during the End Phase of the next turn. After activating this card, you cannot Special Summon monsters other than Dark Hero monsters until the end of the turn."
"The fusion condition of this monster is a Destiny Hero Monster and a Hero Monster above six stars!"
"Now, I will send the Destiny Hero Negation Demon and Destiny Hero Evil Demon (six stars) from the deck as fusion materials to the graveyard!"
"The rage of revenge will turn into a force that destroys everything. Feel this ultimate destruction!"
"Fusion Summon, Destiny Hero Destroyer Phoenix Man!" (Attack 2500 Defense 2100) (Note: This card is also translated as Phoenix Magic Man in Master Duel!)
Wearing red flame armor, as if reborn from the flames, in Ed's astonished eyes, he saw a heroic monster wrapped in black flames appearing in front of him. It exuded a suffocating breath, as if it was a demon from the depths of hell.
The wings of this heroic monster spread out, covering the sky and the sun, and each flap brought a burst of scorching air. Its body was huge and mighty, with clear muscle lines and full of power. Black flames burned on its body, distorting the surrounding air.
However, what is even more frightening is that the monster's eyes flashed with a strange light, revealing a kind of cruelty and ruthlessness. The corners of its mouth were slightly raised, as if it was mocking the enemy in front of it, ready to give them a fatal blow.
It seems that because it is contaminated by the dark power, this monster named Phoenix Man of Destruction constantly emits an evil power. This power makes people feel terrified, as if it can devour all life.
"Hiss!!! Is this the new hero monster that dad just made? Guwu~! Damn it, stinky dad, sometimes I really don't know whether to praise you or criticize you!"
Feeling the oppressive force emanating from this Destiny Hero monster, Ed couldn't help but take a breath. However, he immediately remembered that this monster was the card made by his father, and he felt a sense of both laughter and tears in his heart.
"Humph, the Destiny Hero destroys the Phoenix Man's permanent effect!"
Completely ignoring Ed's mood at the moment, Darkness said with a sinister smile: "The attack power of the monsters on the opponent's field is reduced by the number of hero cards in your graveyard x 200 points!"
"I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn. Now, I will Normal Summon the Elemental Hero Shadow Mist Lady in Attack Position!" (Attack 1000 Defense 1500)
"Damn it, I didn't expect that besides me and Juudai, there is actually a user of hero monsters. Who is this guy? Why have I never heard of him?" No one expected that there would be a third user of a hero deck in this era. Ed even broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, which was extremely rare.
However, just as Ed focused all his attention on this duel, on the second floor of the competition venue, a young man with sweat all over his forehead was also surprised by the deck used by Darkness.
"Damn it, this guy is actually our fifth teammate? Why have I never seen such a person before!"
Yes!
The young man hiding on the second floor of the competition venue is none other than Amon Galam, who came out to search for evidence for some reason!
Because of Professor Cobra's abnormal behavior, David's coma and Riki's insistence on staying in the Duel Academy of Sakura Country, this series of events has made the meticulous Amon realize that there must be some unspeakable secrets behind this Duel Academy exchange event.
Hiding silently in the corner of the wall on the second floor, just when Amon thought his hiding was perfect, a man emitting an ominous aura appeared here.
On the duel arena, Darkness successfully summoned Shadow Mist Lady and then showed a card.
"The quick attack magic card is activated and the mask changes!"
"The effect of this card is that I can target a Hero Monster on my field and, by sending it to the Graveyard, Special Summon a Masked Hero Monster with the same Attributes as that monster from the Extra Deck!"
"Now, I'm going to target the effect of the Elemental Hero Shadow Mist Lady, send this monster to the Graveyard, and then Special Fusion Summon it from the Extra Deck!"
"Masked Hero Dark Ghost, attack position!" (Attack 2800, Defense 1200)
"Damn, there's even a masked hero? Interesting, I haven't been this excited in a long time!" Facing the two hero fusion monsters on the opponent's field, Ed's breathing unconsciously began to quicken. Of course, this was not because of fear, but because of the excitement of meeting an opponent who could fully display his strength.
"Fight!"
Pointing at Ed, Darkness grinned and announced that the battle phase had begun. Because there were three hero monsters in the graveyard, the attack power of the two monsters on Ed's field was reduced by 600 points.
Elemental Hero Sunrise Attack Power 2900＞2300
"Masked hero Dark Ghost, attack the elemental hero Disc Demon!"
"Shadow Invasion!"
Click!
Because of the huge difference in attack and defense values, the Disc Demon was directly smashed into pieces under the claws of the Dark Ghost.
"The special effect of Masked Hero Dark Ghost activates. If this monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, I can activate it. I can add a Shift Quick-Play Magic Card from my Deck to my Hand!"
"Next comes the attack of the Phoenix Demon Man!"
Pointing at Sunrise, Darkness shouted, "Take that, Hellfire Strike!"
"Hmph, I won't let you succeed so easily!" With a smile on his face, Ed raised his hand and clicked the button to activate the trap card.
"Trap Card activated, endless fear!"
"The effect of this card is to place 2 clock counters in the Clock Tower of Hell."
"The special effect of the Field Spell Card, Hell's Clock Tower, this card with 4 counters will reduce the battle damage I receive to 0!"
Click!
The clock tower of the Hell Tower began to rotate again due to the effect of the trap card, and the card that rotated a circle also had four clock indicators.
At the same time, the attacks of the Phoenix Man of Destruction followed one after another, and under the impact of the hellfire, the elemental hero Sunrise was smashed into pieces.
"Humph, Ed, now your front court has been completely cleared..."
"Trap Card Activate, D Time!" (Anime Original Effect!)
This is a real card!
Without waiting for Darkness to finish his words, Ed quickly raised his hand and opened another card on his backcourt.
"This card's effect is that when a monster with an Elemental Hero in its name leaves the field, I can add any number of Destiny Hero monsters from my deck to my hand whose total level is the same as that monster's level or lower."
"The Elemental Hero Sunrise is a seven-star monster, so I can add the three-star monster Destiny Hero Devilman and the four-star monster Destiny Hero Decision Devilman from the deck to my hand!"
"Huh, so that's how it is. Is this your tactic?" Darkness laughed without warning and pointed at the Hell Time Tower. "Ed, if that's the case, how about letting me help you?"
"What? Give me a hand?"
His eyes widened at Darkness' words. Just as Ed was puzzled, he heard the former say loudly: "Another special effect of Destroying Phoenix Man is activated!"
"During my or my opponent's turn, I can select 1 card on my field and 1 card on both sides' fields and destroy them. Also, if this card is destroyed by battle or card effect, during the Standby Phase of my next turn, I can select 1 Destiny Hero monster in my Graveyard and Special Summon it."
"Now, I will use the Destruction Phoenix Man himself and the Hell Clock Tower as the effect targets, and destroy both cards completely!"
"Haha, Hellfire Explosion!"
Under Darkness's command, Phoenix Destruction turned into a ball of pitch-black flame and rushed straight towards the Hell Clock Tower behind Ed. The roar of the explosion resounded throughout the entire Duel Arena, and this field magic card also collapsed with the effect of Phoenix Destruction!
