Heroic Spirit Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 382 - 382

"Oh my, oh my, Miss Okita actually passed her turn with an empty field?"

Da Vinci, ever the professional commentator, couldn't hide the amusement in her voice. "This dramatic atmosphere-building opening gets full marks from me~"

Okita's face turned red as she rambled on about "deck bonds" and "miracle draws," eliciting hearty laughter from the crowd. The entire venue buzzed with lively energy.

"Well then, it's my turn. Draw."

Holmes drew a card from his deck, glanced at it, and decisively placed it on the table.

"I activate the Spell Card [Heroic Spirit – Emergency Summoning]. If I control no monsters, I can Special Summon a 'Heroic Spirit' monster from my deck. I summon [Heroic Spirit – Traveling Outfit: Sherlock Holmes]."

A miniature version of Holmes appeared on the field—dressed in casual travel attire, complete with his signature detective hat and a large travel backpack.

[Heroic Spirit – Traveling Outfit: Sherlock Holmes ★][LIGHT][Spellcaster/Effect][ATK: 500 / DEF: 400]

"Oh!! The projection is impressive," Emiya remarked with approval.

Since Okita hadn't summoned a monster or set any cards, the Chaldea-exclusive holographic duel projection system, which had been waiting for a chance to shine, finally came to life with dazzling effects.

"That said, summoning myself does feel a little awkward..."

"Fufu, well, this is one of Miss Da Vinci's proudest creations, after all… I see~"

While everyone marveled at the projection, Holmes stroked his chin and stealthily cast a meaningful glance at Okita's deck.

"Next, I tribute Traveling Outfit: Sherlock Holmes to activate its effect. I can add a second copy of 'Heroic Spirit – Emergency Summoning' from my deck to my hand."

Nobunaga stared in disbelief as Holmes unhesitatingly sent his own card to the Graveyard.

"He just coldly sacrificed himself?! What a terrifying man!"

"For the greater good, sacrifices are sometimes necessary," Holmes replied with a calm smile. "Now, I activate a second [Heroic Spirit – Emergency Summoning] to Special Summon [Heroic Spirit – Formal Dress Sherlock Holmes] from my deck."

[Heroic Spirit – Formal Dress Sherlock Holmes★★ (Level 2)][LIGHT][Spellcaster/Effect][ATK: 0 / DEF: 1900]

A well-dressed Holmes, clad in a crisp white shirt and holding a violin, elegantly materialized onto the field.

"He even has alternate forms?! I'm so jealous!"

Okita pouted, gazing enviously at the dignified Holmes.

"I want a new form too! Preferably a Level 10, 4000 ATK one that can tribute Nobu to gain infinite attack power!"

"That's just Obelisk the Tormentor! You're infringing on copyrights!" Nobunaga shrieked, horrified by the mental image of Okita with massive, muscular arms. "Ugh, gross..."

Meanwhile, Holmes continued his turn.

"I activate the effect of Formal Dress Sherlock Holmes. When it is Summoned or Special Summoned, I can add a Spell/Trap Card that mentions 'Heroic Spirit – Sherlock Holmes' from my deck to my hand. I choose the Quick-Play Spell 'Elementary, My Dear'."

After

The girl's lips curled into a smirk. She had thrown the suggestion out as a gamble, but never expected them to actually go along with it. "Just as I thought! There's no problem in this world that can't be solved with a duel!"

Striking an exaggerated pose, she pressed two fingers to her face in a dramatic JoJo-style stance. The crystal pendant on her chest swayed in the dim light, scattering dazzling reflections.

"What the hell are you doing?" The thugs frowned. "Do you think you're some kind of Stand user or something? Too late for regrets now—you're about to see how ruthless we, the Scumbag Duel Duo, can be!"

"Ruthless? Then let me show you true darkness—one that will crush you! Behold my Stand! Go, Platinum Star!"

A voice echoed in her mind.

[Excuse me? Since when was my name Platinum Star? Quit making stuff up! But fine, I'll take this as a rare chance to stretch my muscles.]

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

"H-How is this possible?! We were defeated without even standing a chance..."

"T-This kind of power... it's true darkness! Compared to her, we're nothing but insects..."

The girl, now revealed to have white hair, turned to her companion, who had been standing nearby.

"Was that too much?"

Her partner, Hoshino, shrugged. "Just barely within acceptable limits. Besides, these two claim they're famous around here—maybe they know something about the job we were hired for. Also, if Pegasus doesn't pay me properly this time, he's dead."
