Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"You can target 1 Machine-Type monster you control with 500 or less ATK; Special Summon up to 2 monsters with the same name as that face-up monster from your Deck."

The Blender Man's attack power is 0, so it meets the activation conditions for [Mechanical Copying Technique].

Under the influence of the spell card "Machine Copy", the "Blender" on the field of Yusei seemed to have activated the Shadow Clone Technique, instantly turning into three.

"Next, I activate the monster effect of [Blender Man], Tribute one Machine-Type monster on my field, and Special Summon one [Machine Man] monster from my Deck that is not a WIND monster!"

As Yusei finished speaking, the indicator light on his Duel Disk flashed, and a card popped out halfway from the deck. Seeing this, Yusei reached out, pulled out the card, and stuck it onto the Duel Disk.

"Special Summon in Attack Position! [Armored Mech - Armored Electric] (Machine/Earth/Level 8/ATK 2700/DEF 2000)!"

A silver-white fighter jet, accompanied by a beam of light, suddenly appeared in mid-air.

The nose flips open to reveal the robot's head inside, the wings on both sides turn upside down to become armor on its back, the tail stands upright and splits apart to become legs, and two arms extend from the fuselage...

Like a Transformer, the fighter jet underwent various assembly and transformations in mid-air, eventually turning into a giant silver-white robot with the appearance of an airplane.

"There's such a thing... "

Seeing Yusei easily summon the big monster from his deck, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but gape in surprise.

Why is he even better at having fun than me, the original owner?!

"Hmm... a monster with an attack power of 2700, not bad."

}【#

Looking at the [Armored Robot - Armored Electric Combination] that appeared before him, Marufuji Ryo couldn't help but nod approvingly.

The appearance of this monster was beyond his expectations.

He originally thought that Yusei would choose to activate the effect of [Blender Man], pull out [Submarine Man] from the deck, and then attack him directly, bypassing the Cyber ​​Dragon on his field.

But judging from the current situation, he seems to have other plans.

"Next, I activate the Spell Card [Power Fusion] from my hand! I fuse the two [Blender Man] on the field as materials!"

Yusei raised a card above his head.

[Power Combination] A white light shone in its palm.

The light gradually spread out, sucking in the two [Blender Men] on the field.

"It's [Power Fusion]! That card that doubles the attack power of Machine-Type Fusion Monsters!"

Upon seeing the card in Yusei's hand, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but shout out loud.

He was defeated by the Cyber ​​End Dragon, whose attack power was doubled, precisely because of the effect of this card.

Upon seeing the card again, he instinctively clenched his fist.

……

The effect of the card name "[Blender Man]" can only be used once per turn.

Now that the effect of [Blender Man] has been used to summon the Level 8 monster [Armored Machine] from the deck, the special summon effects of the other two [Blender Man] cards can no longer be activated.

Rather than letting them become targets for the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] to penetrate, let's use them as fusion materials now to summon an invincible bicycle!

"Come out! [Dual-person bicycle robot]!"

-

[Dual-person bicycle robot]

(Mechanical/Earth/5-star/Attack 1600/Defense 1200)

Blending/Effects:

Two Machine-type monsters with the same name

This card can be used for direct attack.

-

Yusei stretched out his right hand and called out to the white light in front of him.

As the "ding-a-ling~ ding-a-ling~" sound rang out, a red tandem bicycle with two big eyes on the handlebars, two cartoon hands extending from the handlebars, and two pairs of pedals burst out from the light of [Power Combination], then drifted and stopped in front of Yusei.

Due to the effect of [Power Combination], the attack power of the [Dual Bicycle Robot] also doubles, becoming 3200 points!

"Here he comes."

Looking at the monster that appeared on the Yusei Field, Ryo Marufuji wore a confident smile.

He had already prepared a plan to deal with this monster.

"Fight!"

"【Dual-person bicycle robot】Direct attack!"

Yusei stretched out his right hand in the direction of Marufuji Ryo, and the [Dual Bicycle Robot] immediately rushed towards Marufuji Ryo after receiving his command.

It didn't even glance at the [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] and [Cyber ​​Dragon Type IV] blocking its way, and with a few nimble tail flicks, it left the two monsters behind.

"At this very moment, I activate the Ambush Card [Attack Reflection Device]!"

Facing the [Double Bike Robot] charging straight at him, Marufuji Sho chose to activate his back row face-down card.

"...fuck!"

So this is really targeted card blocking!

Upon seeing the card, Yusei snapped out of his daze, and a rather interesting expression appeared on his face.

Knowing that he would choose to Fusion Summon Bicycle, Ryo Marufuji set this Trap Card face down.

Just like when he fought Jaden Yuki before, Ryo Marufuji could already see the future a few rounds from now.

He had anticipated Yusei's tactics, which is why he specifically summoned a lower-level monster of "Cyber ​​Dragon" and set the corresponding Trap Card to deal with the direct attack of "Double Bike Robot".

Chapter 157: Ryo Marufuji: How can we lose when the dragon is charging in head-on? (Bonus chapter for monthly votes)

As the tandem bicycle robot gradually approached, Ryo Marufuji maintained a calm and unhurried expression.

"Based on the effect of [Attack Reflector], I Tribute my [Cyber ​​Dragon Core], which I use as [Cyber ​​Dragon] on the field, to Special Summon one [Cyber ​​Barrier Dragon] (Machine/Light/Level 6/ATK 800/DEF 2800) from my hand and Deck in Attack Position."

The flipped card in front of him emitted a dazzling light, swallowing the [Electronic Dragon Core] that was wandering in the void.

The duo bike robot, illuminated by the light, instinctively reached out and covered its large eyes.

Despite its rapid response, it was ultimately too late.

After all, no matter how fast it goes, it can't outrun the speed of light.

The two-person bicycle robot, illuminated by the white light, was as if struck by a flashbang; its vision was instantly stolen by the white light.

Having temporarily lost its sight, it immediately lost its balance. Sensing the danger, it instinctively braked suddenly, but the inertia brought by gravity still propelled it toward the direction where Marufuji Ryo had been.

The white light vanished in an instant, and suddenly an electronic dragon covered in silver-white armor appeared between the [Dual-person Bicycle Robot] and Ryo Marufuji.

Unlike any electronic dragon seen before, this suddenly appearing [Electronic Barrier Dragon] has an extremely robust body.

Its head and toes are covered with sharp barbs in a regular pattern, and on its neck are overlapping, yet-to-be-deployed reflective devices.

The [Dual-person bicycle robot], which should have charged straight towards Ryo Marufuji, crashed into the steel body of the suddenly appearing [Electronic Barrier Dragon].

A 3200-attack-power [Dual-person Bicycle Robot] collided with an 800-attack-power [Electronic Barrier Dragon].

Logically, the [Electronic Barrier Dragon] should have been destroyed.

However, what was presented to everyone was a completely different scene.

The [Dual-person Bicycle Robot] crashed into the steel plate at high speed, but instead of being able to shake the [Electronic Barrier Dragon]'s huge body, it caused a large number of small stars to appear on its head.

The bewildered [Dual-person Bike Robot] glanced at the seemingly indifferent [Electronic Barrier Dragon], and reluctantly returned to Yusei's side.

"【Cyber ​​Barrier Dragon】Once per turn while in Attack Position, you can negate the attack of 1 opponent's monster."

Facing the puzzled crowd, Marufuji Ryo crossed his arms and spoke calmly.

The attack negation effect of 【Cyber ​​Barrier Dragon】 is a continuous effect, does not count towards a chain, and does not target. It is mandatory to apply to the first attack of an opponent's monster while this card is in Attack Position each turn, and you cannot arbitrarily decide when to apply it.

To be honest, this monster's effect is somewhat lackluster.

It has many restrictions on its appearance, its attack power is only 800, and its nullification effect can only be activated once per turn when in attack position.

Furthermore, this effect, like the Death Knight's "Liberate yourself, negate and destroy the activation of monster effects," is a guaranteed effect and can be easily tricked.

For Cyber ​​Dragon decks, removing it would actually make them stronger...

In the past, Yusei had almost never seen anyone add this card to their deck.

The Counter Trap Card [Attack Nullification], which can negate one of the opponent's attacks and force the end of the Battle Phase, is ten thousand times stronger than this monster?

However, in the current situation, this monster, which seems like a useless burden, is particularly effective against the bicycle robot...

That's why Yusei complained earlier about Marufuji Ryo's targeted card-dropping.

Marufuji Ryo's decision to summon the Electronic Barrier Dragon during the [Two-Person Bicycle Robot] attack declaration was clearly based on his own considerations.

In his view, if he had activated the effect of [Attack Reflector] during the main phase to summon [Cyber ​​Barrier Dragon], Yusei would definitely not have allowed [Double Bike Robot]'s attack to be negated by it, but would have chosen to let another monster step on the landmine.

The invincible bicycle's direct attack of 3200...

If they really attack, it's no joke...

"What a great opportunity! A bicycle with an attack power of 3200, plus a submarine with an attack power of 800, the direct attack of the two monsters can just deplete the opponent's life points..."

Replace the monster Special Summoned by [Blender Man] with [Armored Man - Armored Electric], which can attack directly, and then use [Power Fusion] to Fusion Summon [Double Bicycle Man], which has doubled its ATK...

It can deal exactly 4000 combat damage.

Gee...

The idea is beautiful.

However, reality is always different from imagination.

Yusei sighed heavily as he watched the two-person bicycle robot being intercepted by Ryo Marufuji's Electronic Barrier Dragon.

Seemingly sensing Yusei's negative emotions, the [Dual-person Bicycle Robot], which failed to complete the mission, also collapsed.
