Chapter 1423: Struggling with Full Blood

One thing that needs to be explained is that although the first person in this world to come up with [Hero] was Hayato, the [E·hero] deck released by International Visions was not based on Hayato's [E·hero] deck, but was the work of a card designer named Rickard Phoenix, that is, Ed Phoenix's father.

At the same time, he did not only design monsters for [E·hero], because his son Ed had been interested in various heroes since he was a child, and what he liked most was to see the appearance of new heroes. Rickard, who doted on his son, naturally designed a variety of heroes. It is said that his earliest work was [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon Man], which had a derivative comic work. When Hayato was in high school, an introverted boy named Hanasaki Yu in the same class was a fanatical fan of [Dark Hero - Corpse Demon Man].

After completing the basic design of the [E·hero] monster, he began to design a new series of monsters called [D·hero].

However, he was really unlucky. In the comic timeline, he was killed by Professor Mackenzie, and in the animation timeline, although he was quite dedicated to designing all the cards of [D·hero], he still couldn't escape the fate of death. His final work [D·hero Blood Demon-D] was stolen by someone, and even his soul was lodged in it.

After DD, who took away [D·hero Blood Demon-D], was killed by Hayato, Hayato returned [D·hero Blood Demon-D], which still contained the soul of Rickard Phoenix, to Ed. Over the years, Rickard's soul had long dissipated in the joy of watching Ed grow up healthily, but his will had a profound impact on [D·hero Blood Demon-D], and even made the spirit of [D·hero Blood Demon-D], which had awakened at some point, have special feelings for Ed.

As for his father's posthumous work [D·hero Blood Demon-D], Ed also regards it as a special existence.

【Warrior/Effect】

[1900/600]

"[D. Hero Bloodthirster-D] cannot be Normal Summoned, and can only be Special Summoned by Tributing three monsters on my field. Once per turn, he can equip an opponent's monster without selecting a target, and the ATK increases by half the ATK of the equipped monster, and gains the same effect."

After hearing what Ed said, Caesar sneered, "It's still a pretty good monster if it's the last to attack, but if it's the first to attack, won't it be unable to withstand even a single hit from my Cyber ​​Dragon? After all, it doesn't have any monster equipment to increase its attack power right now."

"Is that what you think? As a student of the Duel Academy, you only rely on the attack power of monsters to judge their strength?" Ed raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "Your fate ahead is becoming clearer, that 'fate' of losing to me."

Glancing at the three cards left in his hand, Ed pulled out one of them and said, "Magic Card [Angel's Charity], draw three cards from my deck, and then choose two cards from my hand and discard them."

"The cards I discarded are [D·hero Defense] and [D·hero Demon]."

Drawing two cards from the deck, Ed turned one over and showed it to Caesar, "Next is this [D·hero Dark Angel]. If there are three or more [D·hero] monsters in my Graveyard, discard this card from my hand and target one [D·hero] monster in my Graveyard!"

"The target I chose is [D·hero Defenseman]!"

A hawk-like "man" with bird wings, claw-like limbs, and a hairstyle that was extremely similar to that of a peacock flew out of Ed's hand, grabbed a card from Ed's graveyard, brought it to Caesar's field and cast it.

On Caesar Field, a huge rock giant crouched.

[D·Hero Defender] [4☆/Dark]

[100/2700]

"Although its attack power is low, the defense of [D·hero Defender] is as high as 2700 points. It is not an ordinary monster. And under the effect of [D·hero Dark Angel], [D·hero Defender] that I selected as the effect target was Special Summoned to the opponent's field in Defense Position. Don't be too grateful to me."

Ed said, and covered the remaining two cards in his hand on the back field. "I cover the remaining two cards in my hand, and then I activate the effect of [D-hero Demon Man] in the graveyard."

"Exclude the [D-hero Majin] in the Graveyard and Special Summon a second [D-hero Majin] from my Deck!"

A demon warrior covered in hair, who looks like he's wearing woolen pants, appears on Ed's field. Although his level is 6☆, his stats are unexpectedly low, with both his attack and defense being less than 800 points.

Placing the card of [D·hero Demon] horizontally on the duel disk, Ed looked up at Caesar and said, "My turn ends here, Caesar. Caesar, continue to move forward to the end of your destiny - if you can do it."

  【Gate Card】X2

Ed's arrangement looked quite standard, without any powerful suppression cards, high-resistance and high-attack terminals, or a large number of wall monsters. There were only two cover cards, which was not a large number. At the same time, all the cards in his hand were used up, and even his basic points were reduced by half.

The overall feeling was not one of oppression, but made Caesar feel like he was dueling with average-level opponents in the school - but Caesar knew it was not that simple.

Let's ignore that woolen pants [D·hero Demon Man] for now, and first look at the [D·hero Defense Man] that Ed stuffed onto his field. Caesar doesn't think that there is anyone in the world who is so kind and likes to send powerful monsters to other people's fields. Although it is level 4☆, it has such a high defense. Caesar can swear on the woman of Fubuki's life. There must be some flaws. And because it now appears on his field, the person who bears this flaw has changed from Ed to himself.

Although I did get some information about [D·hero], most of it was concentrated on a few cards called "Divinity", "Charge", and "Blood Demon-D". I did get [D·hero Demon Man], so I knew that the monster only had one effect and there was no need to be too wary, but there was no detailed record of cards like [D·hero Defense Man].

Could it be that it was ignored because its effect was too rubbish?

However, even if it does not have any flaws, the fact that it exists on Caesar's field is itself a problem, because the effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon] is that it can be Special Summoned directly from the hand when there are only monsters on the opponent's field, but now this effect is sealed due to the existence of [D·hero Defenseman].

Of course, Caesar can actively release [D·hero Defenseman] and use it as a sacrifice for the Level 5☆ [Cyber ​​Dragon] to appear, but that is too much of a loss. It would be better to Normal Summon a card like [Cyber ​​Dragon Core].

But anyway, let's draw cards first. Although I played [Infinite Bubble] before, Caesar still has five cards in his hand because of the previous [D·Hero Gunner] replenishment. Maybe the cards drawn in this round's card draw phase can solve the current problem.

Thinking of this, Caesar placed his finger on the duel disk and drew a card: "My turn, draw a card!" At the same moment, when Caesar drew a card and entered his preparation phase, Ed suddenly said: "At this moment, the second effect of [D·hero Gunner] in my graveyard is activated!"

"If this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect during the next Standby Phase to Special Summon it from the Graveyard, and if the [D-Hero Gunner] Special Summoned by this effect leaves the field, banish it."

As the voice fell, Ed did not stop the operation, but pressed the button to activate the cover card: "Then, the effect of [D·Hero Gunner] will be linked to activate. I will open this card I put in the back field during your preparation phase!"

"Normal Trap Card [Break Fate]!"

The card that was revealed showed [D.hero Blood Demon-D], whose body was shattered into pieces and turned into a bloody rain. At the same time, Ed's voice began to explain the specific effect of the card: "This is the manifestation of the absolute power of fate. Fall into despair under this absolute oppression, Caesar!"

"You can activate this by targeting a [Dragon Knight D-END] or a Level 8☆ or higher [D·hero] monster on my field. The target I choose is the [D·hero Blood Demon-D] on my field." Ed waved his hand, "Under the effect of [Break Fate], the target monster is destroyed, and the opponent's next Main Phase is skipped!"

Caesar frowned. "Skip my main phase 1!? So that's why I Special Summoned a high-level [D·Hero Blood Demon-D]?"

"Electric Stream's Cyber ​​Dragon, although I'm not sure how strong it is, is it the same type of offensive deck as the legendary Blue-Eyes? For a deck that excels at suppressing, skipping the Main Phase 1 may not be a big deal, but for Cyber ​​Dragon, it's sealing up the Battle Phase, which is relatively the most threatening."

"A monster that sacrificed itself for such a reason?"

Hearing Caesar's words, Ed replied as a matter of course: "This is a necessary sacrifice!"

With a loud bang, [Break Fate] was released towards [D·hero Blood Demon-D] on Ed's field. At the same time, [D·hero Gun Puller] who had appeared once before in Ed's cemetery was also specially summoned from the cemetery.

[D. Hero Gun Drawer][ATK1600]

"You can also trigger the first effect of [D. Hero Gunner] by using its own special summon effect. Both parties draw a card from their decks during the duel." Ed said as he had already drawn a card and looked at Caesar with a helpless expression. "Of course you can draw a card, Caesar, but I'm afraid you can only play it during the Main Phase 2."

Caesar did not respond, but just looked at the card he drew. It was a quick-attack magic card [Electronic Technology Fusion Support].

After the preparation phase, the main phase should have started, but at this moment, the effect of [Break Fate] activated by Ed in the preparation phase took effect immediately, forcibly skipping Caesar's main phase 1 and entering the battle phase. However, he only had one [D·hero Defenseman] in defense position on the field.

However, just when Ed thought that Caesar was going to skip the battle phase as well, Caesar suddenly said, "For ordinary duelists of the 'Electronic Flow', skipping the main phase 1 will make it impossible for them to effectively carry out the battle in that phase, and thus they will have nothing to do in the battle phase and will be forced to enter the main phase 2."

"It's a good idea to make the second-attack deck become more passive when it gets the second-attack, just like getting the first-attack. But, it doesn't work for me!"

Caesar played a card from his hand and laughed wildly: "My 'fate' will not be easily controlled by one or two cards of yours - this card! It is my struggle for victory!"

"Quick-Play Spell Card [Electronics Fusion Support]! Like your [Hero Arrival], I also have to pay half my Life Points to activate this card. When I Fusion Summon a Machine-type Fusion Monster this turn, I can only once select the Fusion Materials determined by that monster from my hand, field, or graveyard, remove them from play, and use them as Fusion Materials!"

[Marufuji Ryo: 4000 → 2000 LP, 6 cards in hand]

"Then here's this Quick-Play Spell Card [Electronic Load Fusion]! With the help of [Electronic Technology Fusion Support], I banish the three [Cyber ​​Dragons] in my hand as Fusion Materials, and Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster with [Cyber ​​Dragons] as Fusion Materials from the Fusion Deck!"

On Caesar's field, an Ultra Monster that could not appear in the Main Phase 1 of Non-Existence descends during this Battle Phase.

"Don't blink, this will be the last monster you see!" Caesar laughed wildly, "Come out, [Electronic Terminator Dragon]!"

【Electronic Terminator Dragon】【10☆/Light】

[Mechanical family/fusion/effect]

[4000/2800]

The [Electronic Terminator Dragon] with an attack power of 4000 points looked down at the [D·hero] on Ed's field whose attack power was only 1900 points at most. Caesar also looked at Ed with contempt: "Do you dare to defy me who has the [Electronic Terminator Dragon]?"

Ed was surprised to see Caesar fuse during the battle phase, and smiled: "It's a little better, 'Caesar', but your fate has not been changed after all. [CyberTerminator Dragon] is a powerful monster, but I will never give you the chance to attack!"

"At the moment you succeed in Fusion Summoning [Cyber ​​End Dragon], I will also open this cover card on my backfield!" Ed waved his hand to open the cover card, revealing a red border, "Activate Trap Card [D-Fusion]!"

"When using this card's effect to Fusion Summon, monsters other than [D·hero] cannot be used as Fusion Materials. Its effect is to send the Fusion Material Monster determined by the Fusion Monster Card from my field to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from the Fusion Deck!"

Taking up the cards of [D·hero Demon Man] and [D·hero Gun Puller] from the Duel Disk, Ed shouted, "I choose to send these two monsters to the Graveyard as fusion materials!"
