Yu-Gi-Oh!: Zero-frame starter with a laugh! You dodge?

Chapter 30. Friendship Over!! The Friend's Hero! The Ruler!

Youfeng raised his hand again, his voice still calm as still water: "Not only that—the effect of [Elemental Hero Liquid Man] is triggered at this moment."

"If this card is sent to the Graveyard or banished as Fusion Material for a 'HE' Fusion Monster, I may draw two cards, then discard one card from my hand."

With a flick of his finger, two cards from the top of his deck flew into his palm, and then he casually sent one of them to the graveyard.

"And then—" You Feng raised his eyes slightly, his words without the slightest hesitation, "I'm going to activate the effect of [Destiny Hero Destroys the Phoenix]."

"During your or your opponent's turn, you may choose one card on your field and another card on the field to destroy."

He gestured with his hand.

"I choose to destroy my own [Awaken Your Sleeping Elemental Hero] and [Destiny Hero Destroys Phoenix] itself!"

As soon as the words were spoken, two beams of light exploded, and the two monsters on the field turned into fragments and vanished.

Huang Yixiao was suddenly taken aback.

Although he had some understanding of hero decks, he was far from being an expert. This deck, which originated from the Western sergeant, was as complex as a maze, with many possible development paths. Without years of dedicated study, who could master it completely?

At this moment, Youfeng actually took the initiative to destroy two of his own key monsters—

Could it be that he operated too quickly and finally made a mistake?

A hint of undisguised joy flashed across Huang Yixiao's eyes.

As expected... just as I thought!

How could a young man of unknown origin possibly master the deck of a sergeant major of the First Knights of the West?

He thought so, and many in the audience shared similar sentiments. Many who had been overwhelmed by You Feng's breathtakingly smooth gameplay seemed to have finally found an outlet.

"Ha! There was definitely a mistake!"

"I knew it, how could anyone possibly play this deck flawlessly..."

"If we're moving this fast, we're bound to make a mistake sooner or later!"

"This is going to be interesting. Let's see how he gets out of this!"

Amid the murmurs, the white-clad saintess frowned slightly, her lips pursed, and though she remained silent, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Arya's face turned pale, and her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.

However, You Feng on the field seemed oblivious to the surrounding noise.

He even chuckled softly.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it came through the venue clearly, carrying a hint of disappointment.

"It seems, host—" He looked up at Huang Yixiao, his tone calm but his words clear, "that you don't really understand this deck."

"That's... really regrettable."

Huang Yixiao's smile froze instantly.

What does that mean?

Could this self-destructive move have also been part of the plan?

"【Awaken your sleeping Elemental HERO】, effect activated." Yufeng stopped looking at him and calmly stated, "When this card is destroyed as a Fusion Summoned monster, Special Summon 1 Warrior-Type monster from your hand or Deck."

With a flick of his finger, a card automatically popped out of the deck.

"Descend, [Elemental Heroes: Shadow Mist Lady]!"

"Furthermore, if the Shadow Mist Lady is successfully Special Summoned, I can add one 'Change' Quick-Play Spell Card from my Deck to my hand."

"I chose—【Mask Transformation】."

The deck responded again, and a Quick-Play Spellbook appeared in its hand.

"Next, activate the effect of [Evil Hero: Death Prism Demon] from your hand." Yuu's voice remained as calm as ever. "If there is a Fusion Monster Special Summoned by the effect of 'Dark Fusion' on your field, this card can be Special Summoned from your hand."

The heavy clanging of chains echoed across the area, and shadows gathered once more.

"Then—" Youfeng's tone sharpened, and he swung his arm, "Release the three of my [Evil Hero Death Prison Prism Demon], [Evil Hero Poison Bubble Demon], and [Evil Hero Karmic Wing Demon - Hellfire]!"

"With this sacrifice, Special Summon—[Destiny HERO Blood Demon-D]—from my hand!"

"It's not over yet." The magic card in Yu Feng's hand lit up. "Activate the magic card—[Fusion of Fate]!"

"Use monsters from my hand or Deck as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster using a 'Destin HERO' monster as Fusion Material. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed during the End Phase of the next turn. After this card is activated, you can only Special Summon DARK 'HERO' monsters until the end of this turn."

A vortex of fusion unfolded in front of him, and three cards from his deck flew out and disappeared into it.

"Fusion Summoning, the Shadow Body that Rules Fate—[Hero of Destiny Rulers]!"

As the vortex converged, a Fusion Hero clad in dark gold armor and with unfathomable eyes stepped out of the shadows and stood beside Blood Demon-D.

"And activate the effect of [Destiny Hero Ruler]." Youfeng turned his gaze to Huang Yixiao's deck. "During our Main Phase, we examine the top five cards of both players' decks and return them in any order."

With a flick of his finger, the five cards above Huang Yixiao's deck seemed to be flipped open by an invisible hand and floated in mid-air.

You Feng's gaze swept over them, and then the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

The smile was faint, yet it seemed to see through something.

The opponent was using an Ice Barrier deck.

And the Ice Barrier deck wasn't even going first; his presence on the field was a devastating blow to the Ice Barrier deck.

The death penalty can already be declared.

"I'll face down three cards and then end my turn." After changing the order, Youfeng decisively faced down his cards to end the turn.

"Huh? It's your turn, host!" You Feng couldn't help but remind Huang Yixiao when he saw that Huang Yixiao hadn't reacted yet.

"Huh? Oh?"

"Is it finally my turn to play?"

Huang Yixiao almost felt like a century had passed, completely absorbed in watching the game unfold.

He almost thought that the Yu-Gi-Oh! duel was a one-man duel.

So it was a duel between two people.

That's when I came to my senses.

"Then it's my turn, draw a card!" Huang Yixiao drew a card.

"Just kidding. It's your turn. I still have to move. It's not your turn yet." You Feng suddenly waved his hand and interrupted with a smile.

Huang Yixiao: "?"

Yuuki's voice then rang out: "Open the face-down card! Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Masked Change]!"

"You can target 1 'HEATK' monster you control. Determine that monster's Attribute and send it to the Graveyard. If this effect causes that monster to leave the field, Special Summon 1 'Masked HEAT' monster with the same Attribute from your Extra Deck."

"Targeting Elemental HERO Shadow Mist Lady, I Special Summon Masked HERO Dark Claw from my Extra Deck!!"

"Of course! That's not enough!!"
