"Do not--!"
Screaming and gritting his teeth, You Ling, who was bombed to the edge of the duel arena, forced himself to stand up again.
"A hero will never admit defeat until the very last moment of the duel!"
Yilin: "You Ling, you..."
Obviously, fighting to this extent is enough. The opponent is the strongest senior Irena in the academy, so no one will say anything more.
However, when Yilin was about to give up, You Ling still chose to grit his teeth and persevere.
This is what a true hero should be like.
Yilin: "I know, You Ling, you are that kind of person! Believe in our deck. You taught me, you showed it to me yourself. Those who respond to expectations in desperate situations are heroes!"
"That's it, Rin! It's my turn, draw a card!"
Taking a big step forward, You Ling stepped on the afterglow of flames and light in the field and pulled the last card out of the Elf's Eye.
At this moment, the energy of the elements continued to gather towards You Ling's fingertips, and the hero's soul seemed to be shouting, using this card to fight against the strongest five-array magician.
"It's the last chance. I cover a card, and the turn ends!"
Cover the key card you drew, and Irena's next turn will be the deciding factor in the outcome of the game.
"My turn, draw a card."
Irena, who was overloaded and had her magic power overdrawn, also drew her only card.
It is a trap card that cannot be activated during the current turn.
But in Irena's opinion, this trap is no longer useful.
"Fight, Five Formation Magician!"
Declare that you are entering the combat phase, as this will be your last direct attack.
"——『Destruction Spell: Five Formations Explosion』!"
"Now, activate the covered Trap Card!"
Yu Ling raised her slender girlish arms high, facing the terrifying attack of the Five Formation Magician, and revealed the Trap Card that was destined to be drawn in the previous round.
"——Trap Card [Sage Stone Alchemist]!"
At this moment, the four-color elemental energy bloomed magnificently on the game field.
If the elemental hero represents the upper limit of this deck, then this card represents the upper limit of the elemental hero in the deck.
[Sage Alchemist Trap Card Effect: Remove 4 "Hero" monsters from your Graveyard and face-up monsters on your field, then target 1 "Hero" monster in your Graveyard. That monster is Special Summoned regardless of the Summoning Conditions.]
"I banish 4 Hero monsters from the Graveyard and Special Summon them in Attack mode! Revive, immortal, Shining Phoenix!"
Fluttering back in the radiance of the gathered elemental energy, the Phoenix Man's shining wings were rendered like brilliant rainbow light by the elemental energy at this moment.
Irena said, "Special summon the Flash Phoenix Man in attack form? You should know that, You Ling. With the attack power of the Phoenix Man, it can't stop the strongest Five Formation Magician!"
"If the Phoenix Man alone can't stop the Five Formation Magician, then we'll use the elemental power of all the heroes to fight back! The additional effect of the Trap Card [Sage Stone Alchemist]!"
[When this effect is activated by banishing all attributes of "Earth", "Water", "Fire", and "Wind", the original attack power of the monster Special Summoned by this effect is doubled, and the effects of all face-up cards on the opponent's field are negated.]
"I'm removing four heroes from the graveyard. They are [Masked Hero - Kamikaze] (wind), [Elemental Hero - Bubble Man] (water), [Elemental Hero - Clay Man] (earth), and [Elemental Hero - Phoenix Man] (fire). Four elemental attributes in total!"
Under You Ling's declaration, from the beginning of the duel to now, the heroes who have been fighting have ejected four beams of elemental energy from the cemetery, filling the brilliant rainbow light on the wings of the shining phoenix.
"Nullify the effect of the Five Formation Magician and double the original attack power of the Flash Phoenix Man!"
[Elemental Hero - Flash Phoenix ATK: 5000]
"In addition to the [Elemental Hero - Electro] that still exists in the graveyard, based on the effect of Flash Phoenix itself, the attack power increases by another 300 points!"
[Elemental Hero - Flash Phoenix ATK: 5300]
The hero standing under the illumination of the four elements with wings flapping has achieved the strongest combat power of the Irin Hero Deck so far. Stronger than the Ultimate Dragon, stronger than the Five Formation Magician, the immortal Phoenix Man.
"Due to the change in the number of monsters on the opponent's field, I will retract this attack."
Irena stopped the attack of the Five Formation Magician immediately. Her body and fingers were trembling slightly as she stared at the hero who surpassed her strongest monster on the field.
"In this situation, facing the strongest magician in the legend, you can still fight with heroes and surpass him with heroes. You Ling, You Ling... You Ling! Where exactly is your limit? It's really interesting!"
The delicate aqua-blue eyes seemed to be filled with starlight of longing. The strong excitement diluted the fatigue from the overdraft of magic power, and Irena also covered the last card in her hand.
"I cover a card, turn ends!"
After enduring the most dangerous and extreme round, You Ling's persistence completely reversed the situation of the duel.
No one dared to continue talking. The audience who had concluded that the winner had been decided in the previous second had been slapped in the face.
In this first battle of the school festival duel, no one seemed to dare to predict the outcome until the last moment when his health points dropped to 0.
Yilin: "That's great, Yu Ling. A hero who has reached his limit can actually defeat even the strongest legend!"
"This is the most crucial counterattack, Rin! Use this card draw to make your hero shine even more!"
"Ok!"
Yu Ling & Yi Lin: "It's my turn, draw a card!"
The two consecutive flash card draws responded to the will of the two heroes and gathered their strength again.
"——Activate the quick-play magic card [Burial from Another Dimension]!"
[Burial from Another Dimension Quick-Play Magic Card Effect: You can activate this card by targeting up to 3 of your own and your opponent's monsters that have been excluded. Those monsters return to the Graveyard.]
"I return the banished Elemental Heroes Bubble Man, Clay Man, and Phoenix Man to the Graveyard! Since the number of Elemental Hero monsters in the Graveyard has increased by 3, the attack power of Shiny Phoenix Man has also increased by 900 points!"
[Elemental Hero - Flash Phoenix ATK: 5300 → 6200]
The final attack power is 6200 points. Without a doubt, this is the limit of the hero that You Ling can achieve at present.
The elemental rainbow light and its own radiance overlapped, making the shining phoenix man with spread wings on the field look like a god descending, far surpassing the most powerful magician in the legend.
Aixia, who was watching the battle, knew better than anyone that You Ling was very strong, but it was the first time she had seen You Ling so strong. "The attack power of the Flash Phoenix is 6200 points, while the attack power of the Five Formation Magician is 4500 points!"
Irena LP: 1600
"This attack will cause 1700 points of combat damage!"
On the other side, Dehao Caesar, who had also calculated the result, said in surprise: "Successful reversal, Yilin Austin! This struggle beyond the limit is really wonderful! He is worthy of being the duelist I am most optimistic about!"
"The outcome is decided, Irena! Let's end the duel with this attack of the Shining Phoenix! ——『Extreme Element: Shining Shock！！』"
Gathering the power of the four elements into a brilliant arrow, the Flash Phoenix's final blow was enough to tear apart the dimensional barrier, leaving a shining trajectory crack in space.
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
Irena, who was facing the hero's fatal blow, suddenly laughed. Her laughter was happier than ever before, brighter than ever before.
"It's really interesting to duel with you, You Ling! So at the very end, let this extreme collision be even more explosive!"
After saying that, Irena uncovered the trap card covering the backfield.
"——Trap Card activates [Decisive Battle Fusion]!"
[Effect of Decisive Battle Fusion Trap Card: ①: During the Battle Step when a Fusion Monster on your side of the field battles a Fusion Monster on your opponent's side of the field, this effect can only be activated by targeting those two Fusion Monsters. That attack is invalidated, and both players receive damage equal to the combined attack power of those two Fusion Monsters.]
A Trap Card that can only be activated when two Fusion Monsters battle.
The combined annihilation attack of Tiandi Tongshou and the effect of the decisive battle fusion will convert the combined attack power of the two fused monsters into damage and give it to both sides at the same time.
4500+6200=10700!
"At this moment, both sides will receive 10700 points of damage at the same time. Even if we can't win, we'll have to blow up this entire venue as well. Don't you think this is the most exciting ending, You Ling?"
"This woman must be crazy!"
In the decisive battle fusion, the counterattacking Five Formation Magician collides with the charging Flash Phoenix Man.
After that, more than 10,000 points of damage broke out. Each side had 10,000 points of damage, so the total damage impact caused by this attack was more than 20,000 points.
"What on earth have you done? Stop it, Irena!" Vice Principal Leiden, sensing something bad was going to happen, shouted towards the duel arena.
However, it was too late. The first duel of the school festival had just begun, and Ms. Fiona's newly built reinforced duel platform had already been shattered and collapsed by the exaggerated impact caused by 20,000 points of damage.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”×2
Irena LP: 1600 → 0
Youling LP: 1200 → 0
Chapter 139: At this moment, there was thunderous applause
After the collision, over 20,000 points of decisive battle damage erupted in the center of the duel platform.
The brand new and huge duel platform was torn apart in the middle by the unreasonable and exaggerated impact force, and then quickly spread to both sides and shattered into more tiny cracks.
The result was that, along with the duel that almost ended in death, the duel platform erected on the square fell apart.
Fortunately, Irena and You Ling were both ejected from the platform by the impact of the final fusion battle.
Although the impact was too strong, You Ling felt a strong dizziness after falling and hitting the ground.
But such a minor injury is a hundred times better than falling down with the collapsed duel platform and being buried under the rubble.
"This, this, this is only the first duel, this old man's brand new duel platform... just, just, just..."
It is completely understandable that the elderly have slurred speech. Even Vice Principal Leiden, who usually speaks fluently, seemed to have aged a lot in an instant when he looked at the ruins in front of him.
“Draw…Draw!”
Compared to Vice Principal Leiden who suffered a great blow, Teacher Irene, as the host, appeared to be very dedicated.
After all, a duel is over, and no matter how exaggerated the ending is, there must be an official explanation.
Resolutely stepping onto the rubble beneath her feet, Teacher Ailin stood with difficulty in the center of what should have been the duel platform to announce the result.
"In the first match of the Fu Sheng Academy Festival Grade Challenge, Irena VS Irin Austin, both of their HPs were reduced to zero at the same time. So the result of the duel is - a draw! Both sides played very excitingly!!"
The silence continued.
In the last round, the Flash Phoenix's exaggerated counterattack had completely stunned the noble audience. Then Irena collapsed the duel platform, causing 20,000 points of damage to overflow, and the trap card that dragged back to a tie made them even more stunned.
It was so long after Teacher Irene announced the results that people slowly came to their senses.
"This, this duel also..."
"So handsome!"
"Fuck, that's awesome!"
Then came the late but inevitable curtain call, when thunderous applause resounded throughout the venue.
"Our country's Fu Sheng Academy has already reached this level!"
"What a young talent! A pillar of the country!"
With recognition from many national dignitaries, the battle between Irena and You Ling, fusion VS fusion, can be said to have fully demonstrated the style of Fusheng Academy.
Drowned in the praises all around them, the three Austin brothers looked at each other, so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.
"Brother, did you see that?"
"Well, our cutest sister is super fierce now!"
Edie Austin snatched the flag from his eldest brother's hand and waved it hard.
"Rin! You will always be my pride! I love you!"
He once lost his Elf Eye in the Dark Game in order to protect Yilin from the villains, but he never regretted it.
All he hoped for was that his beloved sister, whom he loved most since childhood, could become and meet the true "hero" in his heart.
"Rin-chan, are you okay?"
Aisha and Kevin left the preparation area and trotted over to Yilin to greet the "hero" of their first battle.
That’s right. Even though the final result was a draw, the opponent was the strongest Gray Witch of the academy - Irena, and the monster they faced was the legendary Five-Array Magician. Being able to draw the game was a great achievement for the first-year students.
"I'm totally fine."
Apart from the fact that Yilin's little butt was a little red and swollen from falling from a high altitude, there was really nothing serious.
But after that, You Ling was looking at Irena, who had also fallen from the duel platform together with him.
Irena fell straight down without using any magic to cushion the fall, and she hasn't gotten up yet.
