Chapter 523: Decisive Battle of Sword Fighting

"Stop, kid."

Judai moved forward a few steps, and sure enough, someone appeared to block his path, revealing a Duel Disk.

"It's not that easy to see Melo-sama."

"I thought so."

Judai had no half-point of frustration, instead looking impatient, and opened his Duel Disk with a swish.

"Come! Let's talk with a duel!"

"Heh, a straightforward person." The member of the society hummed.

"Duel!" x2

"I'll go first, draw!" The member said. "I summon 'Berserk Gorilla'!"

【Berserk Gorilla, ATK 2000】

"Oh, a 2000 ATK monster right off the bat, you've got some skills." Judai laughed. "Then my turn. Summon 'Elemental HERO Bubbleman'!"

【Elemental HERO Bubbleman, ATK 800】

"When Bubbleman is summoned, if there are no other cards on my field, I draw two cards from my deck."

"Then I activate the Spell Card Fusion! Fuse 'Elemental HERO Avian' in my hand and 'Elemental HERO Bubbleman' on the field! Fusion Summon, Elemental HERO Mariner!"

【Elemental HERO Mariner, ATK 1400】

The opponent immediately launched a taunt: "Spent so much effort to fuse, only 1400 ATK trash..."

"My heroes are not trash." Judai smiled confidently. "I activate the Equip Spell 'Mage Power', equipping it to Mariner. For every Spell and Trap Card on my field, the equipped monster's ATK increases by 500."

"Then I'll set one card in my back row. Next, I activate the Equip Spell 'Assault Armor'!"

A new equipment appeared, like a burning energy armor added to Mariner. That was also a spell that appeared in GX, although it was superficially unrelated to the Elemental HERO and Neo-Spacian series, the card art depicted a Neos exploding with energy.

"When there is only one Warrior-type monster in my Monster Zone, I can equip it to that monster, and the equipped monster's ATK increases by 300. Then now I have a total of three Spell and Trap Cards in my back row, and Mage Power's effect increases ATK by another 1500."

【Elemental HERO Mariner, ATK 3200】

"ATK increased to 3200 all of a sudden?" The member of the society's expression changed slightly.

"And Elemental HERO Mariner's effect: when I have a face-down card in my back row, this card can attack the opponent player directly!"

"Nani!?" The member's face turned pale.

3200 ATK, and can attack directly...

"But if it's only this level, the light in my heart can fully withstand it..."

"No, it can't." Judai interrupted ruthlessly. "Before that, I want to activate the other effect of 'Assault Armor'. Send this equipped card to the graveyard, and the equipped monster can attack twice during this Battle Phase."

Member: "!?"

Attack twice? Then wouldn't it be...

【Elemental HERO Mariner, ATK 3200 → ATK 2400】

"Mariner's direct attack!" Judai waved his hand directly. "Two hits!"

The anchor-like weapon on Mariner's back shot out with a long chain, piercing through the member's chest.

"Uwaaa!"

【Member of the Society, LP 4000 → LP 0】

The man in white knelt on the ground, only feeling that the red-clothed boy in front of him had a dark shadow as huge as Mount Tai behind him, completely insurmountable.

OTK'd.

Too much, I couldn't even play a card...

Judai happily stepped over the man who had lost consciousness, rubbing his hands excitedly.

"Good, then who's next? It's really looking forward to it..." On the top floor, Melo narrowed his eyes slightly, took a sip of red wine, and then stood up slowly, saying to himself.

"Let your friends make a feint to attract attention, so you can mix in here directly?"

He said to the empty room.

"Is this really okay? You left your friends in the heavy encirclement."

"It's okay, they'll have fun."

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan walked out of some shadow in the room and smiled.

"Your little brothers, although useless, are quite numerous. If I had to kill my way in, it would really waste a lot of time, especially since I don't know if you'll take the opportunity to run away. So..."

"Ha!"

Melo laughed dryly.

"You don't have to worry about that, I don't intend to run anymore..."

He stood up, his eyes becoming dangerous.

"At least not until I get rid of you, this trouble."

"Very good, I was counting on you to say that." Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan stepped forward. "You kidnapped Pegasus-shacho and borrowed his power. Your deck should have been perfected to a considerable degree, right?"

"Well, you can see for yourself." Melo smiled faintly. "Guaranteed not to let you down."

"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to it."

Both sides stood on either side of the room.

"Duel!" x2

【Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Melo, LP 4000】

"I'll go first, draw." Melo said. "I summon 'Gladiator Beast Secutor' in Attack Position!"

The white upright tiger, the Gladiator Beast warrior holding a heavy shield, appeared on the field, letting out a majestic tiger roar.

【Gladiator Beast Secutor, ATK 1600】

Melo: "Then I'll set two cards in my back row, turn end."

"My turn, draw!" Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan said. "The power of the ancient Roman Gladiator warriors, I also want to learn about it properly."

"I activate the Continuous Spell 'Volcanic Wall'!"

The ground was broken by flames, and a barrier of flames shot into the sky, forming a wall-like rampart in front of Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan.

Volcanic Wall, a card used by O'Brien in the anime for his Volcanic deck. Although it was never released as a physical card, it was included in classic single-player Yu-Gi-Oh games like the *Tag Force* series, as well as the mobile game *Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links*.

"Volcanic Wall: once per turn, send three cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard. If there are Pyro monsters among them, inflict 500 damage to the opponent for each."

The effects in the single-player games were consistent with the anime, only in *Duel Links*, perhaps because they felt that burn damage was too overpowered in a 4000 LP environment, this card and most direct burn damage effects were all weakened and halved.

Fujiki Fujiki You Xuan drew three cards from his deck and revealed them.

"Two Pyro monsters, directly inflicting 1000 damage."

The wall of flames immediately cheered, and two balls of fire flew out one after another, exploding on Melo's face.

【Melo, LP 4000 → LP 3000】

"

The effects of the cards included in the single-player game are consistent with the anime effects mentioned above. Only in Duel Links, it might be felt that burn effects are a bit overpowered in a 4000 LP environment, so the damage of this card and most direct burn effects have all been weakened and halved.

Fujiki You Xuan drew three cards from his deck and revealed them after flipping them over.

"Two Pyro-type monsters, inflicting 1000 points of damage directly."

The wall of fire immediately cheered, two flames flying out one after another and exploding in Melo's face.

【Melo, LP 4000 → LP 3000】

"Volcanic." Melo frowned slightly.

Another deck that the Duel King hadn't used in the past according to the data, though he also knew that it was normal for this person to switch between different decks.

Was he looking down on him, using him to test new tricks?

Or perhaps... was it specially prepared to deal with him?
