Hey! Let's play cards

"What? Do you want it too?" Pluto was stunned, and even You Xin found it incredible.

"I activate the magic card 'Fusion' from my hand." Li Ming raised the Fusion magic card high into the sky.

Following Li Mingli's outburst, a vortex representing fusion actually appeared in the sky.

"No way! When did he learn it? Didn't they say it would take a month?" When the old man was teaching Li Ming how to merge, You Xin was watching from the side. It was obvious that he was just talking about theoretical knowledge.

When did Li Ming learn it? Or is integration itself not difficult?

Hmm - You Xin nodded secretly and prepared to find an opportunity to try it later.

There is only one fusion monster in Li Ming's deck, so there is no need to say what to summon.

So here we go! The most classic pairing.

"I will fuse the 'Elemental Hero·Wingman' and 'Elemental Hero·Hot Girl' in my hand. The strongest hero in my deck, 'Elemental Hero·Flame Wingman' will appear."

A winged man with wings and a hot girl with a hot body appeared behind Li Ming.

The two looked at each other and jumped into the fusion vortex in tacit understanding.

Li Ming gritted his teeth and struggled to activate the fusion, but it was still a little too early for him.

In the colorful vortex, two souls combine with each other, and a brand new hero makes his grand debut.

Strong and sturdy arms, a dark green body, a white wing on the left back, and a mighty and domineering dragon head on the right arm.

This is the monster that a certain heroic duelist once loved the most.

[Elemental Hero: Flame Wingman, Attack Power 2100]

Chapter 72: Beloved Hero

"A monster with an attack power of 2100, so boring. I was actually looking forward to it." Pluto had a look of disdain on his face after seeing the elemental hero, Flame Wing Man.

Li Ming grinned and said, "Don't worry! For a hero, what is truly powerful is the determination to help the weak and punish evil and promote good. As long as you have this heart, you are a true hero."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Pluto frowned and didn't want to talk to Li Ming about the meaning of being a hero.

For him, absolute power is everything, which is also the consensus of most dark duelists.

"This is what I wanted to say." Li Ming took out a card and immediately inserted it into the duel disk.

"I activate the equip magic 'Beloved Hero' to equip 'Elemental Hero: Flame Wing Man'."

The Flame Winged Man let out a long roar towards the sky, and endless power burst out from his body.

"What a rubbish equipment magic, it makes no difference at all." Hades said casually. The Flame Winged Man equipped with "Beloved Hero" did not increase the monster's attack or defense like the usual equipment cards.

But if you think that "Beloved Hero" is a useless card, you are wrong.

Beloved Hero, the most powerful equipment magic in the Hero series, can only be equipped to 'Hero' monsters above five stars.

This is a card that Li Ming just got from underground. The card shows a flaming winged man standing in front of the moon, ready to launch an attack.

Li Ming liked it very much when he saw it for the first time, although You Xin did not recommend Li Ming to add this card to the deck for the time being.

But out of his love for the hero series, Li Ming still gritted his teeth and put this card into his deck.

This equipment card is very rare. Most duelists may not recognize this card. Only some duelists who are fond of heroes can recognize this card.

Although Pluto has no impression of this card, he will soon witness the horror of this card, and it will be a very impressive one.

"I activate the Continuous Spell 'Banner of Courage'. As long as this card exists in the Spell or Trap Zone, the ATK of monsters on your field increases by 200 points during your Battle Phase."

"Then enter the Battle Phase, and at this moment the effect of 'Beloved Hero' is activated. At the start of your/your opponent's Battle Phase, select 1 Field Spell Card from your hand/deck to activate it."

As for which field magic to choose, is there any need to say it?

"I activate the field magic 'Skyscraper' from the deck." A card popped out from the deck, and Li Ming inserted it into the field magic area.

Rows of tall buildings sprang up, the small town disappeared, and was replaced by a bustling metropolis.

"Heroes need a heroic stage, and this is the place for heroes." Li Ming said excitedly.

The bustling city and the flaming winged man standing on top of the skyscraper made Li Ming's blood boil.

"You don't know what this means! If that's all, it's far from enough!"

"I know, but the effect of 'Beloved Hero' has not ended yet. When there is a card in your Field Zone, the equipped monster's attack power increases by the original defense value, and it will not become the target of the opponent's effect."

[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman, attack power 2100→3300→3500 (Due to the effect of the Banner of Courage, attack power increased)]

"What? This is the effect!" Pluto finally showed a hint of surprise.

"Enter the battle phase. Elemental Hero Flame Wingman attacks Red-Eyes Dark Dragon. Skyscraper Shoot."

The flaming winged man leapt down from the roof of a skyscraper, spread his wings behind him, and glided towards the Red-Eyes Dark Dragon.

"The target of the attack was the Red-Eyes Dark Dragon?" Hades frowned, feeling something was wrong.

"That's right! The effect of 'Skyscraper' is--" Pluto suddenly remembered the effect of the field magic "Skyscraper".

Li Ming was the first to explain: "When the effect of 'Skyscraper' is activated, the attack power of 'Elemental Hero' monsters will increase by 1000 points during the damage calculation phase when attacking monsters with higher attack power."

[Elemental Hero: Flame Wingman, attack power 3500 → 4500]

The Flame Winged Man, whose attack power surpassed that of the Dark Dragon, was covered in flames. He slammed down on the Dark Dragon from top to bottom with the acceleration of a free fall.

Woo—the Dark Dragon cried out in pain and turned into countless particles of light and disappeared on the field.

"At this moment, the effect of 'Elemental Hero: Flame Wingman' is activated. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of that monster."

The flaming winged man slowly landed in front of Hades, and the dragon head in his right hand released blazing flames that instantly covered Hades' entire body.

[Pluto, LP5250→750]

"I didn't expect you to be so capable!" Hades calmly waved away the remaining flames on his sleeves, "But this is not enough!"

"Oh——Is that really the case?" ×2

You Xin and Li Ming spoke in tacit understanding.

"When the last effect of the Equip Spell 'Beloved Hero' is activated and the equipped monster attacks and destroys an opponent's monster, send this card to the Graveyard, and the attacking monster can attack only once more."

"What! There is such an effect!" Pluto had not yet retracted the smile on his face when he heard about this effect.

For a moment, emotions such as joy, surprise, unwillingness, and anger mixed together, and the expressions on his faces were really wonderful.

"I will send the 'Beloved Hero' to the graveyard, and the 'Elemental Hero: Flame Wing Man' will continue to attack the 'Dark Dragon'"

[Elemental Hero: Flame Wingman, attack power 3500 → 2300]

The flaming winged man spread his wings and flew away again, and flames gathered at the dragon head in his right hand.

According to the effect of "Skyscraper", the attack power of the Flame Winged Man increased by 1000 points again, surpassing the Dark Dragon.

The Dark Dragon was not willing to be outdone and gathered a ball of fire in its mouth.

"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it! I didn't expect that a duelist like you would appear in such a small place."

"You lost this duel." Li Ming said.

Hades smiled and said with disdain: "Boy, although it is just a small fragment, my strength is not something you can shake."

"I open the Gaifu card, the Trap Card 'Fighting Fusion'"

“What???” You Xin on the side was shocked. He didn’t expect it to be such a card.

"The effect of 'Final Fusion' is a battle step in which a Fusion Monster on your side of the field battles a Fusion Monster on your opponent's side of the field, targeting those two Fusion Monsters.

That attack is invalid, and both players take damage equal to the combined attack power of the two fusion monsters."

The flames of the Fire Wing Man collided with the fireball of the Dark Dragon, causing a violent explosion. The smoke and dust stirred up covered the entire area.

Since "Beloved Hero" was sent to the graveyard, Flame Wingman lost the resistance to be targeted by effects, so "Decisive Battle Fusion" was successfully activated.

"Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!" You Xin spat out the ashes in his mouth and waved his hands to drive away the smoke and dust around him.

Two minutes later, the hot night wind blew and the smoke gradually dissipated.

Inside the venue, Li Ming was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and Pluto was half-kneeling on the ground, with cold sweat running down his forehead.

【Li Ming, LP900→0】

[Pluto, LP750→0]

It was a draw, a duel in which both sides suffered losses.

The darkness around faded away and the dark game was forced to stop.

"Not bad! Not bad! Congratulations on surviving your life, but I have already remembered you. With such a terrifying talent, we, the Dark Duelists, will never let you grow up.

Enjoy the last happy moment! Afterwards, countless dark duelists will come to take your life, so be prepared to experience real fear!"

"And you! You Xin, you too." Pluto added.

You Xin, who was standing by, was innocently caught in the crossfire.

"What does this have to do with me?" You Xin complained silently in his heart.

After saying this, a black door appeared out of nowhere behind Hades.

"Don't even think about escaping! Give Sister Hongbing back to you!" You Xin helped Li Ming, who had fallen to the ground, up. Seeing that Hades was about to run away, Li Ming hurriedly said.

The health of both sides was reduced to zero, and the fragments of Pluto were severely damaged. Su Hongbing's consciousness took over the body again.

"Goodbye!" A crystal teardrop fell from the corner of Su Hongbing's eye, and her eyes were full of reluctance.

Just after saying two words, countless chains shot out from the door, tightly wrapped around Su Hongbing, and pulled her into the door.

"Sister Hongbing!" Li Ming broke free from You Xin's restraints and rushed towards the black door.

At the moment when the palm was about to touch the black gate, the black gate turned into a shadow and disappeared into the air, leaving only a deck of cards on the ground.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Li Ming fell to his knees and cursed three times.

"Why can't I be stronger so I can save her?" At this moment, Li Ming felt the determination to pursue strength for the first time.

You Xin didn't say anything, just stood aside, waiting silently.

Chapter 73: One-round kill

On the other side of the town, Mr. Li once again faced a dark duelist.
