The undead showed a look of astonishment.
Fujiki Yugen?
The target of the mission actually appeared directly?
"Yugen!"
Judai was also surprised and then scratched his head sheepishly.
"Ahaha, you caught me. But this opponent is indeed quite strong; this is a strategy used by legendary Duelists, truly amazing..."
Yugen smiled.
Ah, the Spirit Summoning Disc. Indeed, just a glance gives off a sense of déjà vu from Duel City, reminding one of Zok from paradise...
"Some people are already dead, just haven't realized it yet."
Yugen nonchalantly glanced at the undead, smiling lightly.
"Cotton Candy, at first glance, does seem like an impenetrable barrier.
But you should know, there's no unbeatable Monster, nor an absolutely unbreakable situation. Even the legendary Three Phantom Gods were once strategized against by the Duel King of old."
Yugen smiled faintly, narrowing his eyes.
"You've witnessed my soul, my ace; understanding this should be easy for you, right, Judai?"
Judai blinked twice.
Yugen's soul and ace, Chaos Warrior?
But how could he have a Monster as powerful as Chaos Warrior? Such simple summoning conditions, yet so potent in both clearing and decisive effects; a Monster like that, even across the entire Dueling Realm, is simply...
Wait, could it be!?
Judai's eyes lit up suddenly.
He suddenly realized what Yugen meant.
Then he couldn't help but grin, followed by a head tilt and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha... as expected of... Yugen, right, there's also this trick... haha, truly your style..."
Yugen crossed his arms and smiled, saying nothing further.
Indeed, Judai had watched so many of his duels, he'd adapted to his way of thinking, quickly grasping his meaning.
Only the undead remained in the dark: "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing much. Just discussing amusing methods to deal with you," Judai said cheerfully.
"Hmph, what are you talking about?" the undead chuckled, "I have absolute defense on the field right now, as long as this turn ends..."
"Sorry, it seems this turn will never end," Judai smiled, "I activate the card set on the field, Magic Card 'Miracle Fusion!'
This allows me to remove Monsters in my graveyard from the game for an 'Elemental Hero' Fusion Summon."
He revealed the two cards exited from the graveyard.
"Remove 'Elemental Hero Wild Hero' and 'Elemental Hero Dark Hero of the Undead' in the graveyard from the game, Fusion Summon—
——Elemental Hero Necromancer!"
[Elemental Hero Necromancer, Attack Power 1900]
A shaman from a primitive tribe, with unruly red hair, wearing a somewhat sinister mask.
A Fusion Hero with 1900 Attack Power...
The undead frowned, "Even though I don't know what you're planning, no matter how many Monsters you summon, as long as Cotton Candy is here, you can't break through..."
"It's not about the effect, but the effect's COST," Judai smiled, "The effect of Dark Hero of the Undead, when this card is successfully Special Summoned, use one of the opponent's Monsters as a sacrifice to activate. You can select a Monster from the opponent's graveyard and Special Summon it to the opponent's field!" (Original effect)
The undead: "......"
Nani!? Use the opponent's Monster as a sacrifice to resurrect a Monster from their graveyard?
This is the effect of the original Necromancer as in the animation, which was modified in the physical card to "destroy an opponent's Monster on the field and then resurrect one from the opponent's graveyard".
Newcomers unfamiliar with Yu-Gi-Oh! might think this modification makes no difference, but in truth, the difference is significant.
"Using a Monster on the opponent's field as a sacrificial trigger", this is the condition for activation. The Monster on the opponent's field is the sacrificial activation, similar to how Yugen uses the Lava Demon God to consume big Monsters on the opponent's field.
This is why Yugen used his "soul and ace" to give Judai a hint.
If it can't be targeted or destroyed by effects, no problem, just consume it outright.
Not to mention this level of resistance, even divine beings, or those "unaffected by any effects" with full resistance, can still be consumed alike.
"Therefore, I use your 'Cotton Candy' on the field as a sacrifice," Judai smiled pleasantly, "Then from your graveyard, revive another 'Cotton Candy'...
...of course, this time in Attack Position."
Necromancer's witchcraft activated, with a wave of his hand, Cotton Candy along with its protective "Safe Zone" instantly dissolved into light particles in the vortex of witchcraft and disappeared.
Following that, the light particles re-condensed and transformed back into the shape of Cotton Candy. But now Cotton Candy had risen from its defensive stance, transitioning into an attack position.
[Cotton Candy, Attack Power 300]
"Of course, your Cotton Candy will also accept the 'Orichalcos Barrier', raising its Attack Power by 500," Judai smiled.
[Cotton Candy, Attack Power 300→Attack Power 800]
But this small increment is almost negligible on Cotton Candy, barely noticeable. The small cotton ball stood there surrounded by three massive men, still seeming so weak and helpless...
"What a joke!?"
The undead appeared unable to accept this development.
Could Elemental Heroes really have such underhanded methods like the Lava Demon God?
Elemental Undead Heroes, right?
Looking again at Necromancer with its image and attire, the eerie mask, witchcraft to communicate with the Underworld, its entire form exuding ominous vibes; indeed it had a bit of that undead hero quality...
"Then to battle!"
Judai punched forward.
"'Elemental Hero Golden Blade Hero', 'Elemental Hero Sailor', 'Elemental Hero Necromancer', attack 'Cotton Candy'!"
[Elemental Hero Golden Blade Hero, Attack Power 2600]
[Elemental Hero Sailor, Attack Power 1400]
[Elemental Hero Necromancer, Attack Power 1900]
[Cotton Candy, Attack Power 800]
The small Cotton Candy was pinned to the ground by three enormous men, utterly powerless to fight back. Water washed over its soft, fluffy body, the golden blade slicing through with the roar of its engine.
Finally, the last move belonged to the undead witchcraft.
With a surge of deathly energy, a pitch-black vortex swept over Cotton Candy.
The three huge figures took turns; the soft, white little thing was ravaged into an unrecognizable mess, falling limp as if utterly drained.
And although it couldn't be destroyed by battle, the damage was not spared in the least. The heroes' impact passed through Cotton Candy, hitting the undead behind squarely, sending him flying like a rag doll against the green barrier behind, then sliding down limply.
