Yu-Gi-Oh!: The journey of the Duel King from scratch!

The attack power of the Jade Pegasus was greatly improved in an instant, and this result was naturally not expected by Ed.

After all, there is only one set of Gemmon in the duel world. Even the genius duelist Ed Phoenix has only seen the card effects of this deck today.

Bang!

The Destiny Hero Dystopia Demon crashed into the Jade Pegasus whose attack power was greatly enhanced. He was directly smashed into pieces by the opponent's counterattack. His monster was defeated by the opponent, and Ed also lost 200 health points.

"What? John actually got Senior Ed's life points?" Because of John's outstanding performance, Wanzhangmuzhun was the first to stand up from his seat. "Damn, this silly-looking brat turned out to be so strong? The Gem Beast deck seems to have some real power now!"

"Haha, not entirely!" As the person who is most familiar with Ed's personality, Yuki Judai refuted on the spot, "Ed obviously held back. I think the reason he did that must be that he wanted to see how powerful this so-called gem beast can be."

"Yeah, I also feel that Senior Ed doesn't seem to be serious!" Touching his chin, top student Misawa Dai nodded in agreement, "According to my survey data over the past half month, Senior Ed has never dueled with anyone for more than three rounds. Besides, I believe he would never give up his trump card monster so easily under normal circumstances."

Nodding at the side, Asuka Tenjouin also echoed: "Amazing, Senior Ed really deserves to be the world champion. His calm attitude is a testament to his strength!"

"Huh? You guys can actually see so many things in just this one round?" Maruto Sho widened his eyes in surprise. He always felt that he seemed a little out of tune with Judai and the others.

"Hehe~! You are worthy of being my senior Judai. Your keen intuition about duels is different!" Holding Judai's arm tightly, Saotome Rei almost leaned her head on him. Her action undoubtedly made Asuka Tenjouin's face turn ugly again.

In the duel arena, Ed lost his destined hero, the Dystopian Demon Warrior, because of John's counterattack. After smiling slightly, he raised his hand and inserted two cards into the duel disk.

"I cover two cards on my backcourt and end my turn."

"What? You're empty-handed in the first round?" Looking at Ed who had no cards left, John couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face. "Senior Ed, excuse me, your dueling style seems too bold, isn't it?"

"Haha, maybe!" Ed gave John an elegant smile and crossed his arms. "But this is my personal duel habit. Of course, if you think you have the advantage, you can come at me. I also want to experience how powerful your so-called gem beast is."

"You are worthy of being a world champion. Such a battle-hardened demeanor cannot be developed overnight!"

With a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, John raised his hand and touched his deck, "In this case, I will let Senior Ed appreciate my Gem Beast deck this round!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

After checking the card he had just drawn, John raised his hand and slapped it on the duel disk.

"Activate magic card, Pot of Greed. Based on the effect of this card, I can draw two cards!"

"Next I will activate the Magic Card Gem's Favor!"

"This card's effect is to select up to two monsters with Gem Beast in their names in your Graveyard as targets. The selected monsters are used as Continuous Magic Cards and placed face-up in your Magic and Trap Card Zone."

"According to this effect, I will choose the Gem Beast Amber Mammoth and Gem Beast Emerald Turtle in the cemetery and place them in my backcourt area!"

"Activate the magic card, guide the gem!"

"The effect of this card is, if there are two or more Gem Beast cards in your Spell & Trap Card Zone, you can Special Summon a Gem Beast monster from your Deck."

"Using this effect, I will Special Summon Rubymon from my Deck, in Attack Position!" (ATK 300, DEF 300)

A huge red gem appeared in front of John. As the gem shattered, a monster that looked very similar to a rabbit suddenly jumped out of the ruby.

"John, I'm here to help you!" Ruby said seriously, looking at John in front of her.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Ruby!" John smiled and nodded at his Rubymon, then said loudly: "The special effect of Rubymon Rubymon is activated!"

"This card can only be activated when it is successfully Special Summoned. I can Special Summon as many Gem Beast monsters as possible in my Magic and Trap Zones."

"Come, wake up in the light of the ruby, my gem beasts!"

As he finished his words, the two gems in John's backcourt began to shatter under the light emitted by the Ruby Beast, and then two huge monsters appeared in John's frontcourt.

"Gemmon Amber Mammoth, attack!" (Attack 1700 Defense 1600)

"Jade Beast Jade Turtle, attack!" (Attack 600 Defense 2000)

John placed a card on the duel disk and said loudly, "It's not over yet. I haven't performed a Normal Summon this turn. Now, I will Normal Summon the Jade Beast Jade Tiger in Attack Position!" (Attack 1600 Defense 1000)

"Wow~ That's amazing! Five monsters were summoned in the blink of an eye. Isn't this too exaggerated? Is this the legendary gem beast?"

"Oh my god, Senior Ed doesn't even have a single monster in his frontcourt. Facing such a strong lineup, can he really withstand John's attack by relying only on the two cover cards in the backcourt?"

"It's over, it's over. I think Senior Ed must have been too careless this time. Otherwise, how could he have allowed that blue-haired kid the opportunity to make such a big scene?"

Seeing John's outstanding performance, the students of the Duel Academy in the audience couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. After all, this was the first time that Hojumon appeared in a public duel at the Duel Academy, which naturally attracted everyone's high attention and expectations.

clap clap!

While the students in the audience were talking about this, Ed smiled and applauded John.

"Amazing! As expected of the legendary Gemmon. This kind of special summoning combo ability is something no one can do even in the professional league!"

"Hey, Senior Ed, it's too early to be surprised now!" Pointing at the Continuous Trap Card Gemstone Linglong on his backfield, John said with a very confident smile, "According to the effect of this card, the attack power of all Gemstone monsters on my field will increase by the numerical points of the defense part!"

Gem Beast Ruby Attack Power 300＞600

Amber Mammoth Attack Power 1700＞3300

Jade Beast Jade Turtle Attack Power 600＞2600

Jade Beast Jade Tiger Attack Power 1600＞2600

"Fight!"

Raising his finger and pointing at Ed, John confidently declared an attack.

"The Jade Beast, the Jade Pegasus, just give it to me...!"

"Wait a moment~! You actually underestimate me by wanting to make an attack declaration so openly, John. But in my opinion, being able to create such a scene should be your limit!" Seeing that John was about to start the battle phase, Ed raised his hand and clicked the button to activate the trap card while shaking his head slightly.

"Activate Trap Card, Magic Cannon Fighter Daruma!"

Pointing to the Trap Card he had just activated, Ed said loudly: "The effect of this card is that all monsters on the field are changed to face-down Defense Position. After that, if there are still face-up monsters on the field, the controller player must send all face-up monsters on his front field to the Graveyard."

"What the hell is this!!!"

His mouth opened as if it was about to fall to the ground. Seeing that the trap card on Ed's backfield had activated its effect and hit all the gem beasts on his field into inside-out position with one shot, John's eyes twitched violently.

"Hehe~!"

With a confident smile that seemed to show some gloating, Ed, who fully experienced the joy of the duel, said calmly, "John, I'm so sorry. I admit that your Gemmon is indeed very strong in terms of special summons, but when it comes to resistance, I'm afraid it's just so-so. Okay, all your monsters have been turned over. If there is nothing else to do, I think you can declare your turn over!"

"Damn it! Is this the Hell-style duel? It really makes people angry!"

Knowing that he had no way to launch an attack in this round, John could only insert a card into the backfield of the duel disk.

"I cover a card in my backcourt area and end my turn."

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

After drawing a card from the deck, Ed then revealed a card that popped out from the graveyard.

"Activate the special effect of the magic card Water of Life!"

"Due to the special effect of Destiny Hero Diamond Magician, the Normal Magic Cards I sent to the Graveyard last turn can be activated unconditionally. Using the effect of Water of Life, I can select a Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster or Sorcerer-Type monster from the Graveyard and Special Summon it in Attack Position."

"Now, I will use the Destiny Hero Disc Demon in the Graveyard as the target of the effect and Special Summon this monster!"

"Come on, revive and come back to the field, CD-magic man!" (Attack 300 Defense 300) (Note: the original animation effect does not have self-restraint!)

"The special effect of the Destiny Hero Disc Magician is activated!"

"When this monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, I can draw two cards from my Deck!"

He raised his hand and added two cards from his deck, then Ed slapped a card on the duel disk.

"Activate the magic card, the angel's charity!"

"With this card's effect, I can draw three cards from my deck, then send Catapult Turtle and Phantom Hero Increment Man from my hand to the graveyard!"

"Next, I will activate the magic card Fusion Birth!" (Original manga!)

"The effect of this card is that you can send five cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard. If the cards sent to the graveyard have the materials needed for a Fusion Monster, you can Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck!"

Ed gracefully drew five cards from the deck, and after confirming them, he raised his hand and showed all five cards to John.

"Among the five cards I sent to the graveyard, there are three monsters: Phantom Hero Micro-Ray, Phantom Hero Poisoner, and Fate Hero Evil Demon."

"The fusion condition for this monster is three monsters with the names of heroes!"

"Faith! Strength! Freedom! The gathered power of destiny will give birth to a new form and pave the way for me to move forward!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Phantom Hero Trio, attack display!" (Attack 2500 Defense 2000)"

"Special effects for Phantom Hero Trinity!"

"When this monster is successfully Fusion Summoned, its attack power is doubled until the end of the turn. In addition, this Fusion Summoned monster can attack three times during the same Battle Phase!"

"Oh! This is Senior Ed's other ace monster!" John couldn't help but sigh as he clearly felt the heart-pounding aura emanating from Phantom Hero Trinity.

"What a powerful monster! But Senior Ed, you seem to have forgotten that no matter how powerful your Trinity is, it still can't break my defense!"

"Haha, it's soliwaduga!"

With a smile on his face, Ed showed the last card in his hand and gave John an extremely sinister smile.

"Activate the magic card and revive the dead!"

"Using this card's effect, I can Special Summon it from the Graveyard, Bounce Turtle, in Defense Position!" (Attack 1000 Defense 2000)

"The effect of this card is that once per turn, you can activate it by releasing a monster on your field, and you can inflict damage equal to half the attack power of the monster released by the opponent player!"

"Hehe, I'm so sorry John. Judging from your current health points, this one attack is enough to decide the outcome!"

"Go! Phantom Hero Three, get on the Catapult Turtle!"

After receiving the order from their master, the three Phantom Heroes jumped onto the back of the Catapult Turtle one by one, ignoring John's tangled expression that said "You'll make your monster cry if you do this", and the completely crooked Ed pointed at the former without hesitation and shouted loudly: "Fire!!!"
