Heroic Spirit Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh!-Chapter 413
The double piercing damage from Okita Illya struck directly through the Defense Position Flash, slashing away more than half of Jaden's once-healthy Life Points in a single blow.
Just a moment ago, Jaden had been relieved that Hoshino couldn't harm his LP—only to be instantly slapped by reality the next second. Clutching his chest where the sword had struck, he could only force out an awkward smile.
"When Elemental HERO Flash is destroyed, I can banish it along with three other 'Elemental HERO' monsters of different names from my Graveyard to add a Normal Spell Card from my Graveyard to my hand."
Electric sparks burst from the Graveyard slot of Jaden's Duel Disk, guiding three HERO monsters into the banished zone.
"I banish three Elemental HEROs from my Graveyard and add the Normal Spell Convert Contact to my hand."
"You're still thinking about recovering cards at a time like this? Are you sure you'll even get a chance to use them?"
Pointing up at Miyu in her Child of God form, floating above, Hoshino launched the final attack.
"With your only Defense Position monster destroyed, Sakatsuki Miyu can now attack directly! Behold—'Illuminating the Heavens!!'"
"Everyone back at the academy always says my dueling style is a lot like yours, Sensei. And they're not just talking about my Fusion tactics…"
Throwing cards from his Graveyard to block Miyu's magical assault, the fieldless Jaden faced the blast head-on.
"It's also about the resilience I learned from you—to fight until the very last moment! I activate the effect of the monster card Necro Gardna in my Graveyard!"
[During your opponent's turn: You can banish this card from your Graveyard; negate the next attack this turn from a monster your opponent controls (this is a Quick Effect).]
Necro Gardna, clad in armor, materialized in front of Jaden, intercepting the devastating blast that could have rivaled a Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack.
When did Necro Gardna get sent to the Graveyard?
"I see." Recalling Jaden's earlier plays, Hoshino nodded in admiration.
"When Aqua Neos activated its effect earlier, it wasn't just to destroy my hand—it was also to discard Necro Gardna. You even set up a defensive net while going all-out offensively. I'm impressed, Jaden."
"Same to you, Sensei. When I'm dueling you, if I don't have a backup plan, I'd get wiped out before I even realized what happened."
Taking the Normal Illya banished earlier as a Fusion Material, Hoshino placed her card back onto the Duel Disk in Defense Position.
"Illya's effect: After being banished as a Fusion Material, she can be Special Summoned back to the field."
[Magical Girl – Illya DEF 1000]
Even though she could've summoned her in Attack Position to deal more damage, Hoshino chose Defense Position instead.
This turn's double piercing attack from Okita Illya had already reduced Jaden's LP to 1400. There was no need to push greedily for an extra 1000 damage and risk giving Jaden an opening.
More importantly, Jaden still had Honest Neos—a hand trap that could instantly boost a monster's ATK by 2500. Carelessly leaving a 1000-ATK monster exposed could cost Hoshino the duel.
"After ending the Battle Phase, I activate the Graveyard effect of Magical Ruby!"
[If this card is in your hand or GY: You can target 1 "Illya" monster you control; equip this card to that target.]
Ruby: "I'm back! I really do love sexy Illya the most~"
Wriggling pervertedly in Illya's hand, Ruby's voice sounded creepier than usual.
"And lastly, I activate Sakatsuki Miyu's effect: once per turn, target 1 card your opponent controls and shuffle it into the Deck."
Although it looked like Jaden's field was completely empty—not even a set card remained—there was still one left: the Field Spell Neo Space, which had transformed the environment into a dazzling aurora.
"I shuffle Neo Space back into the Deck—End Phase!"
With Hoshino's declaration of the End Phase, the vibrant aurora shattered, and the Field Spell—which had powered up Neos and kept Fusion monsters on the field—vanished entirely through Miyu's starlit prayer.
[Hoshino: 2 Hand Cards | 0 Set Cards]
"You really don't hold back, Sensei... But that's exactly what makes dueling you so much fun!"
Starting his turn, Jaden drew a card with a wide grin, despite his completely wiped-out field.
"Fun, huh... Maybe just a little."
Hoshino lowered her head slightly, sighing as she realized that dueling Jaden had gradually helped her recover something she hadn't felt in a long time.
It wasn't:
—A life-or-death duel
—A world-shattering conflict
—An end-of-the-world Orichalcos battle
After countless duels where a single misstep meant doom, Hoshino looked at Jaden's infectious smile and began to rediscover the 'joy' she had nearly lost.
Grinning widely, Hoshino shouted back, "Just a little fun! If you really want to excite me, you'll have to try harder—a duel at this level won't cut it!"
"Of course it's not just this much, Sensei! The counterattack I'm planning will definitely turn the duel upside down!"
Declaring his intent to win, Jaden inserted the Spell Card Convert Contact—which he had just recovered—into his Duel Disk.
"Convert Contact's effect: I send Neo-Spacian Grand Mole from my hand and Neo-Spacian Dark Panther from my Deck to the Graveyard, then draw 1 card.
After that, I draw cards equal to the number of monsters you control."
Since Hoshino had Okita Illya, Miyu, and Normal Illya on her field—three monsters—Jaden was able to replenish his hand by four cards after sending two monsters to the Graveyard.
It was nearly comparable to Seto Kaiba's favorite draw engine: Card of Sanctity!
"And next, I activate the Spell Card E – Emergency Call from my hand to add 1 'Elemental HERO' monster from my Deck to my hand.
The card I'm adding is Elemental HERO Neos, who was just shuffled back into the Deck earlier through Contact Fusion!"
Hoshino's eyebrow twitched slightly.
"That Ultraman-looking HERO again, huh.
You know, that card kind of reminds me of Illya... No matter who she's with, she can fuse with them."
Ruby wriggled with excitement:
"Illya who can fuse with anyone~ What a lewd little girl... Ow, ow, ow! My handle's gonna snap!"
Jaden then inserted another Spell Card:
"I activate Graceful Charity!
I draw 3 cards from my Deck, then discard 2!"
Among the two discarded cards was clearly the Neos he had just searched for.
Watching him toss his monster like trash after retrieving it, Hoshino couldn't help but sigh:
"Is this really how ace monsters are treated nowadays...?"
"And finally—I activate the Spell Card Miracle Contact!"
[Shuffle into the Deck, from your hand, field, or GY, the Fusion Materials listed on an 'Elemental HERO' Fusion Monster that lists 'Elemental HERO Neos' as material, then Special Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.]
"It's a Spell Card that fuses a Neos from the Graveyard, huh... No wonder..."
Understanding why Jaden had discarded Neos, Hoshino warned him:
"Let me make this clear—as long as Miyu is on the field, I can bounce back any Fusion monster you summon right into your Deck."
Unfazed, Jaden calmly selected three Neo-Spacian monsters from his Graveyard—including Elemental HERO Neos—and shuffled them back into the Deck.
"Maintaining the order of the Neos universe, gathering the powers of multiple Neo-Spacians—at this very moment, a special Elemental HERO is born!"
On Jaden's field, the spirits of the three Neo-Spacians merged into Neos.
Their clashing forces reached an absolute balance, giving rise to a new cosmic order.
"—The power of order can even break through!
Come forth—Fusion Summon: Elemental HERO Cosmo Neos!"
