Dark Fusion, activate!
Overlord: "Using the monsters from my hand or on the field as fusion materials, I will perform a fusion summon on the Fusion Monster of the Demon Race."
Dark Fusion, the exclusive hero series of Overlord, a key card representing the dark fall of the "Evil Heart Heroes", is the special fusion card used by Judai's Elemental Heroes after their fall.
The Fusion Monster summoned by this card mostly corresponds to the darkened versions of the original Elemental Hero Fusion Monsters. The same fusion materials generally have identical attack and defense values, but they all become part of the Demon Race and their effects are even more powerful.
"Using 'Elemental Hero Wild Hero' and 'Elemental Hero Wingman' in a Dark Fusion!" Overlord said, "Wild wings, transform into a dark storm and descend—
——Evil Heart Hero: Wild Wind Demon, summon!"
Wild Hero and Wingman, two of Judai's classic Elemental Hero images, but even these Elemental Heroes seemed to become somewhat evil when projected.
A dark vortex emerged in the sky, and both heroes transformed into dark beams absorbed by the vortex. The dark cyclone burst forth, black wings fluttered in the sky, and the evil hero descended slowly with arms folded.
[Evil Heart Hero: Wild Wind Demon, Attack Power 1900]
Clearly, it's the dark version of the Wild Wingman, fused from the original Wingman and Wild Hero, with the same attack power of 1900.
"Attack with Evil Heart Hero: Wild Wind Demon." Overlord ordered coldly, "Cyclone Slash!"
The dark hero's wings sliced through the air, and the cyclone slashed straight towards Yugen.
Yugen remained calm: "Then, activate..."
"It's useless." Overlord said coolly, "Wild Wind Demon's effect, when this card attacks, prevents the opponent's Magic and Trap Cards from being activated until the end of the damage step."
After a pause, he added indifferently.
"Not summoning monsters to lure attacks, trying to gain the upper hand with trap counterattacks. This shallow tactic has long been seen through by me; it doesn't work in front of Wild Wind Demon.
Moreover, if Wild Wind Demon inflicts battle damage, all face-down Magic and Trap Cards on the opponent's field are destroyed."
Clearly, this Evil Heart Hero chosen by Overlord is not by chance, but indeed is the most suitable card for the current situation. Facing such an attack, Yugen's backfield becomes mere decoration, unable to be activated and directly wiped out by this Evil Heart Hero.
However...
"Who said I would use traps?" Yugen said.
"What?"
"I just said, activating this card from the graveyard..."
Yugen waved his hand and a beam of gold light flew out from the graveyard, transforming in mid-air into a cute round creature.
"Clean Chestnut Ball!
When the opponent declares a direct attack, banish this card from the graveyard and draw a card from the deck. If it's a monster, special summon that monster and redirect the attack to it."
"Draw a card from the deck." Overlord said without any emotion, "The top card of your deck..."
He naturally recalled the Magic Guidebook Organization Yugen activated last turn.
"That's right, I've already adjusted the order of the cards at the top of my deck. So the top card is naturally a Monster card."
Yugen drew the card, slapped it onto the Duel Disc without even looking.
"Clean Chestnut Ball's effect, special summon 'Chaos Magician'!"
The magician in a magnificent magic robe landed on his field, jumped forward, the staff gathered dark green magic light ball, and instantly intercepted in front of the Wild Wind Demon, swinging the staff to block.
[Chaos Magician, Attack Power 2400]
"Although there's a new monster on the field, generally it causes a battle replay. However, Clean Chestnut Ball's effect mandates that Wild Wind Demon's attack target must shift to the newly summoned monster, continuing the battle."
Yugen said.
"Thus, Wild Wind Demon is forced to battle Chaos Magician."
Wild Wind Demon's wings flapped, the transparent cyclone continued to slash out. But the magician deftly handled it, gracefully rotating the staff to intercept the black wings entirely, the evil hero's storm was smashed head-on and the magic light ball continued unabated.
The Evil Heart Hero's face changed dramatically, quickly using its wings like a shield to block in front. But it was already late, the shield was pierced by the transparent cyclone, and Wild Wind Demon was shattered into fragments.
[Overlord, LP4000→ LP3500]
"It seems Lord Overlord's training isn't quite enough yet." Yugen chuckled lightly, "Our dueling strategies here are quite varied, you know."
Taking a minor setback right at the start, but Overlord's expression remained unchanged, showing no reaction.
"Then Sky Hero's attack is abandoned, turn ends."
"My turn, draw." Yugen drew a card and then revealed a card in his hand, "The 'True Silent Magician' in my hand cannot be normally summoned; only by sacrificing the Mage Race monsters on the field can it be specially summoned.
I sacrifice the Mage Race's 'Chaos Magician.'
The wings of silence bearing hope, Light Magician, appear—
——True Silent Magician, summon!"
Chaos Magician vanished in white light, the magic barrier unfolded on the ground.
The girl who had been standing beside Yugen in a school uniform took slow steps, stepping into the barrier where her attire changed abruptly in the surrounding white light, transforming into a sacred magic robe, her silver hair flew in brilliance.
[True Silent Magician, Attack Power 1000]
Overlord glanced at the Silent Magician who walked into the field from outside.
"Elf, huh." Overlord said indifferently.
"The Silent's attack power rises by 500 for each card in my hand." Yugen said, "I currently have four cards in hand, so the attack power rises by 2000."
[True Silent Magician, Attack Power 1000→ Attack Power 3000]
"True Silent attacks 'Elemental Hero Sky Hero.'" Yugen said, "Silent Magic Burst!"
Once again the white magic array opened, the array rotated slowly, white light gathered into the magic staff held high, transforming into a milky white ball of light smashing Sky Hero into fragments.
[Overlord, LP3500→ LP2300]
"Now it's my turn, draw a card."
Overlord drew a card, then immediately revealed the drawn card.
"Activate Magic Card 'Hero's Legacy'. When there are at least two 4-star 'heroes' in your graveyard, draw three cards from the deck." (Original effect)
"It really is a violent hero drawing system, directly wanting to draw three cards, that won't do." Yugen said, "True Silent Magician, activate effect.
Once per turn, you can negate the opponent's Magic activation!"
"What?"
"Negate the activation of 'Hero's Legacy.'"
The magic from the Silent Magician's staff strikes out, the Magic Card Overlord activated in front of him is hit by the beam of light, the gold light instantly dims, and the card shatters into fragments.
