Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

The dragon beneath him seemed to sense its companion's joy and let out a cheerful cry.

"This is practically a cross-dimensional attack..."

One side has a luxurious pure hero board with a single card and a counter effect, while the other side has only one face-down card, resulting in an almost empty board.

Seeing the stark imbalance between Yui Amamiya and Jaden Yuki, Yusei couldn't help but start complaining.

This is the world of difference between mainstream decks and fun decks.

Jaden Yuki, who didn't know how to conserve resources, is now finally facing the consequences of his own actions...

Even if we take a step back and assume that Jaden Yuki's current deck strength is sufficient, he wouldn't pose any real threat to Yui-san, even if he saved resources.

After all, without the new Spaceman and Ultraman, Jaden Yuki's fighting power was practically shattered...

"This is only her first round..."

Seeing Tengu's progress in duels, Yusei sighed with some emotion.

It's been a while since I've seen you, and I didn't expect you to start learning how to do OTK (One-Hit Kill) too!

That innocent, good child I first met—I've unknowingly led him astray...

……

"Fight!"

Facing Jaden Yuki, who had lost the protection of the monster, Yui waved her hand and gave the order to attack: "[Temple Water Spear] (Attack 1500), [Wandering Griffin Rider] (Attack 2000), and [Hero Specimen] equipped with [Holy Sword of Light - Dannel] (Attack 3000), launch a direct attack on Jaden Yuki!"

The blond youth riding a dragon brandished the Holy Sword of Light, urging his companions to charge straight toward Jaden Yuki.

Behind the young man was a giant griffin rushing towards Yuki Jaden, and a blue-haired female mage raising her staff at Yuki Jaden.

181. The Tenth Generation has been defeated again...

1500+2000+3000……

The three monsters on the field can deal a total of 6500 damage to Jaden Yuki.

Even without the [Wandering Griffin Rider] who is responsible for the Conqueror, this combination can still deal 4500 combat damage.

With only 4000 LP points, it's enough to deal a devastating blow to the opponent.

If Jaden Yuki takes this attack, he will face defeat!

"Don't even think about succeeding! At this very moment, I'll open the backcourt cover!"

"Counter Trap Card - [Attack Nullification] activated!"

Seeing the monsters rushing towards him, Jaden Yuki, sensing a strong sense of danger, decisively pressed the activation button on the Duel Disk, intending to open the face-down cards in the back row.

In the duel rules of Yu-Gi-Oh!, low-speed cards cannot chain against high-speed cards.

Therefore, high-speed cards like Counter Trap Card [Attack Nullification] are not affected by chains other than Counter Trap Cards.

The counter effect of 【Wandering Griffin Rider】 is second speed, so it cannot be chained against the effect of 【Attack Nullification】.

Although Jaden Yuki didn't know the effect of [Wandering Griffin Rider], he instinctively chose to open the back row card when he sensed the danger.

Jaden Yuki's idea was good, and his approach was not wrong.

If all goes well, he can use the counter-trap card [Attack Nullification] to dodge the deadly triple attack from the Heavenly Palace Knot...

Of course, this is on the premise that there are no Field Spell Cards or Light Swords on the field of the Heavenly Palace Knot.

"Huh???...Why can't my face down card activate?"

Jaden Yuki was completely bewildered when he pressed the button but received no response.

Logically, the current scene should be a 3D image of "Attack Incapacitated" appearing in front of him, then generating a protective shield to resist Ms. Jie's monster attack, and then forcibly ending the battle phase, allowing him to survive this round.

However... nothing happened...

The hero, wielding the holy sword, still rode his dragon and charged straight toward him.

"Could it be that the Duel Disk is broken?"

Unable to think of any other reason, Jaden Yuki could only come to this conclusion.

"It's not that the Duel Disk is broken." Looking at the puzzled Jaden Yuki, Yui Amamiya reached out and brushed a strand of hair that was being blown by the wind behind her ear, and explained, "It's the effect of the Field Spell [Dark Temple Zararam]. As long as you have a monster equipped with [Light Sword - Dennel] on your field, your opponent cannot activate the effect during the Battle Phase."

"The [Brave Token] on my field is wielding the [Holy Sword of Light - Denel], so your card is naturally unable to activate."

Due to the influence of Dark Temple Zararam, Tenmiya Yui directly sealed Jaden Yuki's ability to "activate card effects" during the battle phase.

At this point, apart from cards that have already been activated or continuous effects, all other cards cannot be activated, as they are all completely suppressed by the effect of the Dark Temple.

Therefore, Jaden Yuki's counter-trap cards in the back row could not be activated.

"What?! There's such an insane card?!"

Upon hearing Ms. Yui calmly describe the effect of the Field Spell Card [Dark Temple Zararam], Jaden Yuki's face immediately showed an expression of utter shock.

In other words, aside from face-down cards in the back row, even if he has hand traps like Kuriboh, Quick-Play Scarecrow, or Kite Bomber in his hand that can block attacks, he cannot activate their effects at this moment...

"Big brother!"

"Ten generations!"

Seeing Yuki Judai in danger, Maeda Hayato and Marufuji Sho couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Oh dear~ it seems I'm going to lose this duel..."

Jaden Yuki scratched his cheek with a helpless expression and put down his Duel Disk. He was then hit by the Holy Sword of Light, the Griffin's Claws, and the belated Water Ball, and his life points dropped to zero.

Jaden Yuki, who had suffered great injuries, knelt down on one knee.

(Jaden Yuki's LP: 4000 → 0)

As the duel ended, the 3D images on the field slowly began to disappear.

Having won the duel, Tengu Yui looked at Yuki Jaden kneeling on the ground with a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Um……"

Ms. Yuki seemed to want to say something about Jaden Yuki's dueling style, but after thinking for a moment, she gave up on the idea.

She sensed an indomitable spirit emanating from this boy named Yuki Judai. After his duel with her, she imagined he would grow stronger.

Then there's no need for me to waste any more words and criticize his duel.

"What a fantastic duel!"

As Yuki Jaden stood up, he gave Yui-san a sincere smile.

After his duel with and defeat of Amamiya Yuki, Jaden Yuki finally began to see her as a rival on his dueling journey, rather than just a pretty face.

Including Yusei and Ryo Marufuji, Yui Amamiya is the third duelist to defeat Jaden Yuki.

"You too."

After giving a modest nod to Jaden Yuki, Yui, who had won the duel, returned the Duel Disk to Yusei.

"Yusei... I'm planning to go back."

Winking her bright eyes at Yusei, Yui smiled and said to him as she put away her deck, "I'm sure you'll be able to win easily in the team duel to come."

After his duel with Jaden Yuki, he had a general idea of ​​his opponent's strength.

Although Jaden Yuki lost to her in the duel, it does not mean that Jaden Yuki was not strong enough.

At least, Ms. Yu saw the immense potential in Jaden Yuki.

I believe that it won't be long before he grows into a powerful duelist who can stand alone.

With teammates like that, Yusei probably won't be held back.

"Leaving so soon...aren't you going to stay a couple more days?"

Hearing Ms. Yu's farewell words, Yusei felt a pang of reluctance.

The girl in front of him was probably the closest person to him in this world.

In this unfamiliar world, she seems to be the only one who cares about me the most.

(Amamiya Ria: What about me???)

"Hoo hoo... Now that things here are almost over, I should head back."

Sensing the reluctance in Yusei's words, Yui covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Alright~ We'll meet again sometime, and then we'll have our duel."

Instead of turning into a card-playing fanatic, Ms. Yui has grown and saved her duel with Yusei for another time.

182 The team duel finally begins! (4K)

"……I see."

The wandering star, who had made a pact with the Heavenly Palace, extended his right hand toward her.

Seeing Yusei's action, Yui was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to her senses and grabbed Yusei's outstretched hand.

Looking at each other's faces, they both smiled in unison.

This brief meeting deepened the bond between the two.

And this farewell is for a better reunion next time.

……

Following Maeda Masan, Amamiya Yu also left.

Watching Yui wave goodbye and walk away, Jaden Yuki, recovering from his defeat, subconsciously sighed to Yusei beside him, "As expected of your older sister, her dueling skills are so strong..."

“Ah… mmm…”

Gazing at the receding figure of Tengu Yu, Yusei responded absentmindedly to Yuki Jaden's words.

At this moment, Yusei was still pondering a question.

As Ms. Yui mentioned before, she received a promise from Principal Samejima for Yusei.
