Yu-Gi-Oh!: Worldwide Mix, the Ultimate Necromancer Duel

Chen Feng's face darkened visibly. This kid is really good at pretending!

His fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the card, and a surge of anger welled up inside him.

This kid is not only arrogant, but he also has a whole set of tricks up his sleeve. Does he really think he's something special?

You Chen seemed completely oblivious to his displeasure, or rather, seeing it only fueled his excitement.

His hands moved without pause, smoothly drawing out the next card, his movements even carrying a hint of playful casualness.

"Next, I'll show you another card in my hand—"

He held a card between two fingers, and a light blue luster flowed across its surface, as if a clear spring were rippling within it.

"【Masked Hero Fountain】!"

"You can activate this effect by showing this card from your hand to your opponent." You Chen's tone was as calm as if he were reading an instruction manual. "Special Summon one HERO monster from your hand in Defense Position."

With a flick of his finger, before the previously displayed card could be retrieved, another card flew from his fingertip and landed lightly on the ground.

"Then, heed the call—"

"Horse forth on the winds of the heavens, appear! [Elemental Hero Sky Warrior]!"

【Elemental Heroes: Sky Knight】

Wind attribute / Four-star / Warrior race

Attack: 1800 / Defense: 300

"And activate the effect of [Elemental HERO Sky Knight]!" Yu Chen's speech suddenly quickened, his attack like a relentless wave. "When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, add one HERO monster from your Deck to your hand!"

"I've chosen [Masked Hero Raven]!"

Mastering this one deck alone explains why Masked Heroes is a consistently strong deck for beating weaker opponents.

Because resources can interact with each other.

The deck seemed to come alive, responding to the summons. A brand new hero card popped out automatically and was precisely placed between his fingers.

"It's not over yet."

You Chen's voice conveyed a sense of complete control, and he slammed another card onto the duel disk almost without pausing.

"My usual summon is—[Masked Hero Fountain]!"

The water shimmered, and a moist, refreshing scent filled the air. A blue hero, seemingly formed from the purest spring water and with a slightly transparent, ethereal form, quietly appeared on the field.

He was surrounded by gentle ripples of water, his demeanor serene.

【Masked Hero Fountain】

Water attribute / Four-star / Warrior race

Attack: 1000 / Defense: 1400

Seeing this, Chen Feng's initial anger was slightly suppressed by a deeper doubt, but he still didn't hold back his words.

He snorted coldly, his tone laced with sarcasm:

"Fancy and showy. What's the use of summoning so many of these weak monsters? They can't even launch an attack against my [Nightmare Iron Barrier]!"

Is that really the case?

Upon hearing this, You Chen not only did not get angry, but instead chuckled softly. There was a clear, almost pitying quality in his laughter.

"Hearing you say that so naively..."

As he spoke, he calmly drew a card from his hand.

The movement was slow and firm, as if it were not drawing a card, but rather pulling out an invisible sword that had been honed to a sharp edge.

"I'm completely relieved now."

"I know what you're up to. You just want to wait for your [Legendary Demon]'s attack power to increase by 700 each turn, right?"

Chen Feng froze. He actually knew?!

The moment You Chen finished speaking, his eyes suddenly sharpened!

He pinched the card between two fingers, raised his arm high above his shoulder, and then slammed it down on the duel disk with tremendous force!

"At this very moment—activate the Quick-Play Spell Card!"

"【Mask Transformation】!!!"

The crisp sound of the card embedding into the Duel Disk was like a thunderclap! The card surface burst forth with dazzling transformation light, and strange energy ripples spread like mercury, instantly enveloping the entire arena!

"Target one of your HERO monsters! Determine its Attribute and send it to the Graveyard!" Yu Chen's voice was resolute, carrying the undeniable power of the rules. "If this effect causes that monster to leave the field, Special Summon one Masked HERO monster with the same Attribute from your Extra Deck!"

He raised his hand and pointed to the blue hero on his field, whose skin shimmered like rippling water.

"I chose the players on the field—"

"【Masked Hero Fountain】!"

"Let's embrace a completely new attitude!"

On the field, the Masked Hero Fountain emitted a clear and melodious sound, and the gentle spring water flowing around it suddenly became intense and turbid!

The clear water rapidly transformed into a highly corrosive deep blue acid under the light!

A heavily armored mask with sharp angles, covering the mouth and nose, and eyes flashing with a cold blue light, condensed from the acid and suddenly snapped onto his face!

The hero's form twisted, swelled, and reshaped violently under the influence of acid and light!

"Hero Mask, don your costume! Transformation!"

You Chen opened his arms to welcome the power of new life.

"Descend, Extra Deck, Level 8—"

"【Masked Hero Acid Water】!!!"

"laugh--!!!"

A torrent of deep blue acid exploded with a deafening roar!

A brand-new hero, clad entirely in streamlined, corrosion-resistant armor in shades of deep blue and silver-gray, bursts through the light and lands with a vengeance!

He was taller and stronger than the spring, with faint acidic fumes rising from the seams of his armor. His arms were armed with what appeared to be jet propulsion devices, and his eyes behind his visor were cold and extremely intimidating.

【Masked Hero Acid Water】

Water attribute / 8-star / Warrior race / Fusion

Attack: 2600 / Defense: 2100

"Not only that!" Yu Chen's attack came like a storm, followed closely behind. "If [Masked Hero Acid] is successfully Special Summoned, its effect activates!"

He waved his arm, pointing directly at Chen Feng's seemingly impregnable area.

"Destroy all Spell & Trap Cards on your opponent's field!"

"Furthermore, the ATK of all monsters on the opponent's field decreases by 300 points!"

"What?!"

The mockery on Chen Feng's face froze instantly, turning into utter horror! His pupils shrank sharply, and he could hardly believe his ears!

So... so the big one was waiting for him here?!

He has three magic traps on the field – Nightmare Iron Fence and two unknown face-down cards!

If this were completely destroyed, it would be like having your tactical system slashed directly across its lifeline!

The barriers and possible counterattacks that were used to buy time will vanish in an instant!

And the effect of this card is just too outrageous!

Transforming a single card into a Fusion Monster is already outrageous enough, but for the transformed monster to also bring destruction to the entire field of Spell & Trap Cards? This kind of card effect is simply unheard of!

In his experience with duels, this was practically defying the heavens!

"No...it's impossible!" he cried out.

Yu Chen then waved his hand dismissively and said, "That's not all? Not only that, but you can also chain-activate the effect of 'Masked Hero Fountain'. This effect can be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard to activate a card effect or by a card effect. Set 1 'Masked Change' from your Deck or Graveyard to your field."

You Chen killed two birds with one stone, and retrieved another Mask Transformation card, which he then placed on the field.
