Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"Then it's my turn, draw a card!"

Although the [D-Power] on Ed's field not only grants Ed's cards resistance to being targeted by the opponent's effects, but also has the negative effect of preventing Ed from drawing cards during the draw phase, it only works when he has [D·Hero Blood Demon-D] on the field.

Therefore, Ed successfully drew a card from the deck, and then said, "Are you confused or even disdainful of what I just said? Then let me tell you the answer!"

"The effect of [Dragon Knight·D-END] is naturally not just about not being destroyed by effects and being able to be resurrected from the graveyard during my preparation phase. Otherwise, how can it be called the incarnation of unstoppable fate?" Ed pointed at the snow-blowing field, "Its true and strongest power is to destroy one of the opponent's monsters on the field and inflict damage equal to the attack power of that monster!"

"This effect doesn't have a target, and there's no limit on once per turn!"

  (Note: animation effect)

Just like the original [D·hero Blood Demon-D] in Ed's hand and the OCG version [D·hero Blood Demon-D] in Hayato's hand have great differences in effects, his [Dragon Knight·D-END] is also very different from the version in another world.

Compared to the OCG version of [Dragon Knight·D-END], Ed's [Dragon Knight·D-END] has the added resistance of not being destroyed by effects, and the self-resurrection effect is also extended to Ed's entire turn instead of just limited to the preparation phase. More importantly, even the destruction effect is also extended from taking a target and once per turn to not taking a target and no limit on the number of times - however, the price is the same, which requires Ed to not enter the combat phase during the turn when the effect is activated.

  In the last round, Fubuki failed to eliminate [Dragon Knight·D-END] and left [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] with an attack power of 2800 points on the field. Moreover, Fubuki's basic points are only 1250 points, which is not much higher than Ed's. No wonder Ed feels that he has a sure win!

Besides, he has more than just one [Dragon Knight·D-END] monster.

"The card I drew is [D·hero Devilman]. Because the card I drew is a monster card, it triggers the effect of [D·hero Charger] in my graveyard!" Ed said, turning over the card he drew in his hand and showing it to Fubuki.

"Show [D·hero Devilman] for both parties to confirm, then I activate the effect of [D·hero Charger]. If this card is in the Graveyard, Special Summon the [D·hero Devilman] I drew to the field!"

【D·hero Devilman】【3☆/Dark】

【Warrior/Effect】

[600/800]

A slender warrior who looked like a ghost and was wearing a large blood-red cape appeared on Ed's field. However, when he finished the card drawing phase and entered the preparation phase, he continued, "It's not over yet! I have another monster to appear!"

"I have Future Fusion on the backfield. During my Standby Phase, I activate the effect of its second phase and fuse this card from my deck! Fusion Summon!"

"Heroes of the divine world, heroes of the accelerated sprint, now unite as one, transform into the immortal hero of the final destiny, and descend upon this land!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 8☆!"

In the last turn, he sent the two cards [D·hero Divine Man] and [D·hero Charger] to the Graveyard, and [Future Fusion] was fused with the "Future" of Ed's second turn, and the Destiny Hero with the power of "Hide in the Toilet" was Fusion Summoned from his Deck.

"Fly! [D·hero destroys Phoenix Man]!"

[D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] [8☆/Dark]

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

[2500/2100]

"The first effect of [D. Hero Destruction Phoenix Man] is to reduce the attack power of all monsters on the opponent's field by the number of [Hero] cards in my graveyard x 200 points." Ed raised the duel disk and said, "And in my graveyard, because of the fusion of [Dragon Knight·D-END], the number of [Hero] cards has now increased to nine."

"So as long as [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] exists on my field, reduce the attack power of all opponent's monsters by 1800 points!"

"Absolute justice suppression!"

[Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] [2800/2400→1000/2400]

【Iron Fantasy】【DEF0】

Fortunately, Fubuki Special Summoned Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon in Defense Position last turn, otherwise Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon, whose attack power has been reduced to only 1000 points, would have become his biggest breakthrough point on the field!

However, after entering the main stage of Ed, he did not use the effect of [Dragon Knight·D-END] in the first place to destroy [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] to inflict Blizzard effect damage and clear his basic points.

Although the current attack power of [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] is only 1000 points, which is lower than Fubuki's basic points of 1250 points, the effect of [Dragon Knight·D-END] is to calculate the damage after destroying the monster. The value used for judgment at that time will be the value after [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] leaves the field, that is, the original attack power. 2800 points of damage is enough to clear Fubuki's basic points.

  The main reason why Ed didn't use this effect immediately was to be as safe as possible - especially when there were two covered cards on the back field of Fubuki. He couldn't be sure whether the card Fubuki put on would be a card with rebound damage like [Soul of Pain Curse]. Anyway, the effect of [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man] would be wasted, so it would be better to tentatively destroy one of the two cards on the back field of Fubuki!

"The second effect of [D.hero Destroy Phoenix Man] can be activated during both players' turns to destroy one card on your side and one card on the other side." Ed pointed to Fubuki's magic trap area, "Better safe than sorry. The cards I want to destroy are [Future Fusion] on my backfield and the cover card in the same position on the opponent's side!"

After a pause, Ed explained, "When Future Fusion leaves the field, it will also destroy the D-hero Destroyer Phoenix that was Fusion Summoned by its effect. However, the destroyed D-hero Destroyer Phoenix will be able to activate its third effect, and during the next turn's Standby Phase, it will Special Summon a D-hero monster from my Graveyard, including itself."

"Then let's start burning, [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man] - Phoenix Wings Sky Soaring!"

Under Fubuki's gaze, [D·Hero Destruction Phoenix Man] flew into the air, releasing flames at the cover card in his backcourt, and the indiscriminate splashing flames also covered the [Future Fusion] in Ed's backcourt. Under the burning of the flames, his cover card was about to be destroyed together with [Future Fusion].

"You're really cautious. Although it seems that you intend to use the effect of [Dragon Knight·D-END] to end the duel directly, you still choose to deal with the face-up card first to avoid accidents?" Fubuki said as she pressed the button to activate the face-up card. "In that case, instead of letting your monster destroy my card, why not... chain the effect of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] and activate my face-up card!"

"Continuous Trap Card [Skill Extraction]!"

In an instant, a strange wave of power swept across the fields of both sides, and in an instant the power of all the monsters in the field was stripped from their bodies. Even the flames controlled by [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] who had already released flames in advance were extinguished out of thin air.

"It's actually [Skill Extraction]!?" Ed's eyes widened. He never expected that such a card would appear now.

"Why, you can restrict me from using monster effects, but I can't let you experience what I felt last turn?" Fubuki sneered, "You have to pay me 1000 Life Points to activate this card. As long as this card exists in the Magic Trap Zone, the effects of face-up monsters on both sides' fields will be negated!"

"Not only your [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] who wants to destroy my card, but also [Dragon Knight·D-END]!"

[Tenjoin Fubuki: 1250 → 250 LP, 0 cards in hand]

  Fubuki's already dwindling basic points dropped another 1000 points, leaving him with less than 500 points, looking like he would be shattered at the slightest touch. However, his aura was growing stronger and stronger, and he even suppressed Ed's aura in turn!

Because of the chain effect of last come first, if Fubuki activates [Skill Extraction] first and then Ed uses the effect of [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man], the final result will be that [Skill Extraction] will be destroyed by the latter before it can invalidate the effect of [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man];

However, the current situation is that Ed used the effect of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] first, which means that [Skill Extraction] will take effect first, forcing Ed to experience the feeling of Blizzard having sealed the effects of all monsters on the field in the last round!

Also because the effect of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] was invalidated, the power of [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] on the snow-blowing field was also restored, and the attack power returned to the original 2800 points.

[Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] [1000/2400→2800/2400]

"Because we are going in a different direction, I can't let Red-Eyes Black Dragon fuse with various beings and blossom with miracles and hope like the legendary duelist, Mr. Jonouchi Katsuya." Fubuki looked at the Skill Extraction on her backcourt, "The path I'm taking is to push individualization to the extreme. It doesn't matter if I abandon coordination, as long as the individual unit is strong enough!"

"Just like [Severed Darkness], this card is also a specialized card for [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] which is a normal monster. Even [Dragon Knight·D-END], which cannot be destroyed by the effect, is just a 'Normal Monster' with the same attack power as [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] under the effect of this card!"

Looking at [Dragon Knight·D-END], Fubuki said contemptuously: "Ha, what a weak fate."

Upon hearing this, Ed said, "You are getting too proud, aren't you? Even if it doesn't work, the power of my [D-hero]s is still greater than your [Red-Eyes]!"

"The [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] with an attack power of 2500 can destroy the [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] with a defense power of 2400. The [Steel Fantasy] with a defense power of 0 will not be a match for the [D·hero Devilman]." Ed looked at the monsters on the snowy field and calculated the answer. "Even if it has no effect, the end of your fate is still 'defeat' without a doubt!"

"I will put [Dragon Knight·D-END] into attack position, then I will enter the battle phase and use [D·hero Devilman] to attack [Steel Fantasy]!"

"Death Claws!"

The Metal Magician in defense mode was pierced through by the sharp claws of [D·hero Devilman] in an instant. As the metal robe was deformed, the mirror in his hand was shattered. Ed, who had never taken it seriously from the beginning, ignored the destroyed [Iron Fantasy] and continued to give orders: "Then it's [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man]'s attack!"

"The fate of defeat is approaching you! You must face it, you must repent, and you must pay back!"

“Defeat the Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon—state the suffering and announce the end!”

  Even if it loses its effect, [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] still has great power. After all, its attack power is 2500 points, which is the standard ace of the protagonist. Although under normal circumstances it is not a match for [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] with an attack power of 2800 points, the current [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] is in defense mode!

Facing the black flames of the counterattack of [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon], [D·Hero Destruction Phoenix Man] barely used the flames to wrap his body to resist, then jumped into the air and swooped down towards [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon]. With the flames burning on his body, he looked like a flying phoenix. When he got close to [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] to a certain distance, he turned over and used his feet to hit [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon], and was about to use a "Knight Kick" to break it!

However, at this moment, the entire body of the Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon was suddenly covered with a thick layer of metal, as if it had used some magical power such as "Copper Head and Iron Arms" to turn itself into metal - although it was already in a metal state.

The moment [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon] and [D·Hero Destroyer Phoenix] touched, a loud "clang" sounded, and [D·Hero Destroyer Phoenix] was actually bounced out by the solid metal on [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon], and flew backwards for a long distance in the air before he could barely stabilize his body? !

  "What happened?" Ed looked at Fubuki in confusion, only to find that the last card in his backcourt was quietly revealed at this moment. It was the [Metallization·Reinforced Reflective Armor] that Fubuki had used in the virtual world "Duel-Links" but no information had been leaked to the outside world. He had previously retrieved it with the effect of the destroyed [Iron Fantasy]!

"Chain [D·Hero Destroy Phoenix Man]'s attack declaration, I use the last card on the back field, the Trap Card [Metalized·Reinforced Reflective Armor]!" Fubuki pulled up the face-up card on the Duel Disk, turned it over and showed it to Ed, "This card can only be activated by releasing a face-up monster on my field. I will release [Red-Eyes Dark Steel Dragon]."

"Then, under the effect of [Metalized Reflective Armor], I will Special Summon a monster that cannot be Normal Summoned from my hand, deck, or graveyard that has the name of [Metalized Reflective Armor]."

Fubuki took out a card from the deck, raised it above her head and shouted, "Discard this dark steel armor, break out of your shell, and rekindle your fighting spirit, the immortal dragon!"
