Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Hahaha! Cat punches are enough to deal with you!"

With a satisfied expression on his face, Maeda Mozan put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly, "Round over!"

"It's my turn!"

Seeing his father looking at him with disdain, Hayato felt his fighting spirit return.

"Come on, Hayato!"

"Yeah, yeah! Your dad's surprisingly weak!"

Yuki Judai and Marufuji Sho, who were standing nearby, began to cheer Hayato on.

Yusei, on the other hand, touched his chin with some confusion and began to think about a question.

If this is all there is to a professional duelist... then wouldn't I be killing indiscriminately?

Even when Professor Kronos brought in professional duelists for the subsequent team duels, I felt like I could easily solo them all...

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Marufuji Sho's mockery, Maeda Mozan couldn't help but turn his gaze towards him.

"what!!"

Sensing that he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, Marufuji Sho immediately hid behind Yuki Judai, his mouth tightly shut.

"My turn, draw a card!"

With his spirits lifted, Maeda Hayato drew a new card from his deck.

"Okay! Now it's time to use this card!"

Looking at the second card he had just drawn, the [Death Tree Bear], Hayato couldn't help but have a new plan in mind.

"Spell Card activated! [Koala Parade?]!"

Hayato drew a spell card from his hand and placed it in the back row to activate it.

"Based on this card's effect, I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster with 'Koala' in its name from my Graveyard. Furthermore, if I have a monster with the same name as a monster Special Summoned by this effect in my hand, I can Special Summon that monster from my hand."

"Rise from the graveyard, [Death Tree Bear]!"

At Hayato's call, the red koala, chewing on leaves, was resurrected from the graveyard and returned to the field, enveloped in light.

"Then, due to the effect of the spell card [Koala's Parade?], I Special Summoned a second [Death Koala] from my hand."

A red koala, identical in appearance to the one that had just been resurrected, appeared on the field, waving its limbs.

Two monsters that look exactly alike stood close together, their bodies pressed together, and they gave Maeda Masan a menacing look.

……

Oh! Two three-star monsters have gathered on the field!

It's about to start! Yuma!

I stacked two monsters of the same level and Xyz Summoned them...

Sorry, wrong set...

……

"I release two [Death Tree Bears] as sacrifices, and summon the [Giant Tree Bear] (Orc/Earth/7-star/Attack 2700/Defense 2000)!"

A blue koala with a huge body stood guard in front of Hayato, replacing the two [Dead Koalas].

This seemingly harmless monster has the same attack and defense stats as [Armored Machine - Armored Electric Combination] in Marufuji Sho's deck.

"Nani?"

Seeing his son suddenly summon a ferocious beast with an attack power of 2700, Maeda Mozan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"I'm going to go, Dad!"

His eyes, no bigger than soybeans, narrowed completely, and a resolute expression appeared on Maeda Hayato's face.

"The giant koala is attacking the drunken tiger!"

"Deadly move! Eucalyptus Throw!"

The enormous blue koala crouched down on all fours and charged straight at the swaying drunken tiger.

As if holding a chick, the Giant Koala grabbed the Drunkard Tiger and threw him toward Maeda Mozan.

173. Witness the power of animation cards!

"—Drink it!!!"

Seeing the drunken tiger flying towards him, Maeda Mozan instinctively raised his Duel Disk and assumed a defensive stance.

The phantom of the "Drunken Tiger" passed through Maeda Mozan's body and was smashed into particles of light on the ground behind him.

(LP of Maeda Moyama: 4000→3100)

"End of round."

Hayato, having finished his attack, did not choose to set up an ambush card, but instead ended his turn.

"Well done, Hayato!"

"Just like that, I'll take down your dad!"

Hearing the cheers for Hayato from the side, Maeda Mozan's lips slowly curled into a smile.

That idiot son of mine is a million years too early to think he can beat me!

The last round was just a warm-up; now the duel is officially starting!

"My turn, draw a card!"

Looking at the card he had drawn, Maeda Mozan's face showed a smug expression.

That completes the winning combination!

"Ha... I summon [Drunken Angel] (Angel/Earth/Level 4/Attack 1800/Defense 400) from my hand!"

A male angel wearing a black top hat, with long blond hair, dressed in a white suit, and holding a wine bottle, swayed his white wings as he leaped down from mid-air and stood in front of Maeda Mozan.

"Another drunkard..."

Hayato was somewhat speechless at the types of monsters his father possessed.

Whether it was the tiger just now or the blond hottie now, they're all unreliable adults...

"What?! I'm not drunk yet, buddy!"

In response to Hayato's sarcastic remark, [Drunken Angel] swayed as she replied.

"!?"

Seeing the [Drunken Angel] speak in human language like a chivalrous friend, Yusei was taken aback. "This monster... should be the old man's Soul Card, right..."

"It's happening again... I can hear the elves' voices again..."

Hayato's heart tightened suddenly as he recalled the sound of Kuriboh that he had heard while searching for Marufuji Sho.

"Next! I'll activate the perpetual spell [A Wine Jug]!"

As Maeda Mozan's voice faded, a large porcelain wine jug filled with liquor suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the [Drunken Angel].

"Oh?"

Upon seeing the earthenware pot filled with fine wine, the [Drunken Angel]'s eyes widened to be larger than copper bells.

He reached out, grabbed the bottle in front of him, and started chugging it down...

"It's not over yet! I'm activating the Continuous Spell Card again [Table Flip]~~~"

With a strange retroflex sound, Maeda Mozan inserted another spell card into the back row of the Duel Disk to activate it.

As the magic card was activated, a white mist gradually began to fill the Japanese-style room, obscuring the view, and the ground beneath their feet suddenly transformed into a large wooden dining table.

Maeda Mozan, [Drunken Angel], [A Sake Jug], Maeda Hayato, and [Giant Koala] slowly rose from the ground along with the gradually ascending dining table.

"Hayato! Take this!"

"The effect of the Continuous Spell Card [Table Flip] activates!"

"Once per turn, destroy all cards on your field except this card. Then destroy the same number of cards on your opponent's field."

"However, when this card's effect is used, you cannot summon monsters until your next turn..."

With his arms crossed, Maeda Mozan jumped back off the table and then flipped the entire table over.

“Nani???”

Before he could even react in surprise, Hayato, who was standing on the giant dining table, was flipped to the ground along with the giant koala on the field.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Hayato, who had gotten up from the ground, clearly heard three heavy thuds.

It's clear that the other three cards were destroyed by the effect of "Table Flip".

"Hahahaha!!! Now you see it! This card is a one-hit kill!"

Seeing Hayato's bewildered expression, Maeda Mozan couldn't help but let out a triumphant laugh.

"Wow...that's amazing! (Seriously)"

"...Are you serious?"

Listening to Yusei's monotonous speech, Miss Jie couldn't help but give him a reproachful glance.

"Huh... so that's what a one-hit kill means?"

With a sigh of disappointment, Jaden Yuki stroked his chin and continued, "What does this have to do with that [Satsuma Dimensional Flow]?"

"Speaking of which, clearing out the entire area all at once is a pretty unfair move..."

Watching Hayato's [Giant Koala] being flipped to the ground and disappear into particles of light, Marufuji Sho patted his chest with lingering fear.

In his understanding, Maeda Mozan's techniques were indeed extremely powerful.
