Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"End of round!"

When the battle phase ended, Marufuji Sho did not choose to set a card, but decisively ended his turn.

"How was it, brother!"

"After witnessing my strength, you've suffered a little bit!"

Adjusting his glasses, Marufuji Sho spoke smugly to Yuki Judai, who was looking down.

"Hey Hey……"

“Ahahahahahahahahaha!!!”

Hearing Marufuji Sho's somewhat smug voice, Yuki Judai slowly began to laugh out loud.

139 Jaden Yuki: I was so lucky to draw a Fusion card back then!

"This momentum..."

"Is this guy... about to pull another crazy gamble?"

As Yuki Jaden suddenly burst into laughter and placed his finger on the deck, this thought flashed through Yusei's mind.

Next turn, Jaden Yuki will definitely be able to draw the [Fusion] spell card.

"So this is how duels are supposed to be!"

As Jaden Yuki slowly stopped laughing, his expression became unusually resolute.

He gazed at the [Steam Gyrobot] on the field, a slight smile involuntarily curving his lips.

The 1200 damage dealt by Marufuji Sho's fusion monster did not disappoint Jaden Yuki; instead, it fueled his fighting spirit.

"Sho! The duel is finally starting to get interesting!"

Seeing Marufuji Sho become serious, Yuki Jaden's heart began to burn with a fiery passion!

"Uh……"

"No way..."

Seeing that he had not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but had also emboldened the other side, Marufuji Sho's shoulders slumped down again.

Why is it always different from what I imagined...?

"Alright! Now both sides are finally taking this seriously!"

"Huh? Um... End of round..."

Faced with Jaden Yuki's enthusiastic remarks, Sho Marufuji merely gave a perfunctory response before ending his turn.

"My turn, draw a card!"

With a broad smile, Jaden Yuki drew a new card from his deck.

Just as Yusei had guessed, the card he had just drawn was the spell card [Fusion]! It was also the core burst card of the [Elemental HERO] deck.

On Jaden Yuki's field, there is the [Elemental HERO The Flash] in attack position.

In his hand was the [Elemental Hero - Clayman] card he had drawn earlier.

These two monsters will be used as fusion materials and, under the effect of the [Fusion] Spell Card, will be fused into [Elemental HERO Thunder Giant] with 2400 ATK!

"it is good!"

"I activate the Spell Card [Fusion] from my hand!"

"Merge the Clayman in your hand with the Flash on the field!"

Jaden Yuki activated the Fusion skill by inserting it into the back row of the Duel Disk. He then addressed the Nendoroid and Flash who appeared before him, saying, "With your bond, let's summon a new power together!"

Upon hearing Jaden Yuki's words, the two heroes nodded simultaneously and then leaped towards the [Fusion] vortex in mid-air.

"Fusion Summon! [Elemental Hero - Thunder Giant] (Attack Power 2400)!"

As soon as Judai Yuki finished speaking, the azure sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. A bolt of lightning ripped across the sky and struck down from there.

The massive figure of the Thunder Giant thus appeared from the lightning.

"And that's it...it's over." Asuka, who was watching the battle, made this announcement the moment she saw the Thunder Giant appear.

"Why? Sho clearly still has a [Steam Gyrobot] with an attack power of 2200 on the field, it shouldn't be defeated so quickly..."

Upon hearing Asuka's words, Hayato couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

"Thunder Giant has a special effect: it can destroy a monster on the opponent's field that originally had a lower attack power than itself."

The moment the Thunder Giant appeared, the Pharaoh, startled by the lightning, instinctively jumped out of his arms and ran far away.

With his hands freed, Yusei finally had the mind to answer Hayato's question.

"What?! That means..."

After listening to Yusei's explanation, Hayato finally understood Jaden Yuki's plan.

“That’s it!” Upon hearing the conversation among the people on the cliff, Judai Yuki nodded in agreement.

"Be prepared, Sho!"

After saying this, Jaden Yuki and the Thunder Giant in front of him both stretched out their index fingers toward the sky.

"Take this! Lightning Rain!"

A massive bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the Thunder Giant's finger.

The lightning bolt shot upwards, then scattered in mid-air, turning into a thunderstorm that fell onto Marufuji Sho's field.

Bathed in the thunderstorm, the [Steam Gyrocopter] instinctively stretched out its short arms to protect its body, but the ever-present drizzle continued to pelt it.

After a brief stalemate, the [Steam Gyrobot] finally succumbed to the thunder and rain, collapsing and disappearing from the field as particles of light.

"Ah! My monster on the field!"

Looking at the [Steam Gyrocopter] destroyed by the Thunder Giant, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

"It's not over yet! I haven't performed a single Normal Summon this turn!"

With that, Jaden Yuki affixed a card from his hand to the Duel Disk.

"I summon [Elemental HERO Burst Lady] (Warrior/FIRE/Level 3/ATK 1200/DEF 800) from my hand in Attack Position!"

A female hero, dressed in a red, fitted combat suit and with her long black hair casually draped behind her head, appeared before Jaden Yuki at his call.

"Marufuji Sho, you're finished."

Yusei, who was observing the situation on the dueling field, spoke up to give his summary.

In Marufuji Sho's grave, there was no [Super Electromagnetic Turtle] that could forcibly end the opponent's battle phase.

With the monster destroyed and no face-down cards on the field, he has no chance of turning the tide.

This duel will undoubtedly end in victory for Jaden Yuki!

"Ah..."

Looking at the two Hero Monsters on Jaden's field, and then at his own empty field.

A look of horror involuntarily appeared on Marufuji Sho's face.

With only 2600 health points remaining, he had no chance of surviving the direct attacks of these two monsters.

"Fight!"

"Explosive Girl and Thunder Giant launch a direct attack on Marufuji Sho!"

Yuki Judai extended a finger that seemed to signal annihilation in the direction of Marufuji Sho.

"Take this! The destructive lightning of the Thunder Giant! And the explosive flames of the Explosive Lady!"

The two monsters on the field, Jaden Yuki, simultaneously unleashed their special moves at Sho Marufuji.

A huge golden ball of lightning emerged from the Thunder Giant's palm. He grabbed the ball and decisively threw it toward Marufuji Sho's location.

"Uhhhhhh!!!"

Struck by lightning, Marufuji Sho clutched his body and collapsed to his knees.

Even with some pain reduction, the direct attack damage of up to 2400 was still somewhat unbearable for him.

(Marufuji Sho's LP: 2600 → 200)

Before he could catch his breath, the Explosive Girl's fireballs came rushing towards him.

Having been hit by a lightning ball from the Thunder Giant, Marufuji Sho was paralyzed and unable to react in time, thus taking the Explosive Girl's fire attack head-on.

(Marufuji Sho's LP: 200 → 0)

140. Cause and Effect

Enveloped in flames, Marufuji Sho slowly began to feel the pain of being scorched by the high temperature.

He snapped back to his senses and began frantically patting his body, trying to dispel the flames around him.

Seeing that he couldn't extinguish the flames on his body, Marufuji Sho decisively started rolling on the ground. In his current disheveled state, he looked no different from a stray dog ​​on the roadside...

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Seeing Marufuji Sho's miserable state, Yusei couldn't help but click his tongue.

Marufuji Sho is selfish, cowardly, and weak. He cowers when faced with enemies and only knows how to hide behind Yuki Jaden. However, when faced with people who truly care about him, he chooses to strike without hesitation.

This physical pain is entirely his just deserts.

He doesn't deserve any sympathy from Yusei.

……

As Marufuji Sho's health points reached zero and he was defeated, the flames on his body automatically dissipated.

After enduring a long and agonizing ordeal of being struck by both lightning and fire, Marufuji Sho finally found relief...
