Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"……All right!"

Seeing Professor Kunonos's serious expression as he approached his face, Principal Samejima, intimidated by his aura, subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead and refocused his attention on the dueling arena.

"Heh! Here it comes!" As if he had drawn the card he wanted, Gong Di's lips slowly curled up.

"Big brother, we need your help this time!" Gong Di said to his brother, who was beside him.

"It's alright, my little brother~ Go ahead and unleash your full power!"

Nodding to his younger brother beside him, the fanboy smiled with understanding.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Sacrifice Doll' from my hand, and Tribute 'Light Emperor Crys' on the field to Special Summon a Level 7 monster from my hand."

With an extremely conflicted expression on his face, the Light Emperor, once again gloriously becoming a tool, was tightly bound by the black tentacles extending from the card art of [Sacrifice Doll], becoming a sacrifice for the Special Summoning of the Wind Demon.

"Come forth! [Wind Demon God - Shuga] (Mage/Wind/7-star/Attack 2400/Defense 2200)!"

Previously, due to Mige's magic card - [Called by Darkness], [Wind Demon God - Shuga] was added to Gongdi's hand from the deck. During Gongdi's turn, he activated the magic card [Sacrifice Doll] again and summoned it to the field.

191 Do you also want to become the king of credit card losses?

As Emperor Guang was sacrificed, a large green crab with the character "wind" written on its head appeared in front of the palace brother, spreading its two large legs.

"It's this card again..." Yusei muttered to himself as he watched the Labyrinth Brothers keep pulling out the magic card [Sacrifice Doll].

The Maze Brothers definitely played all three copies of this card.

Gong Di started with six cards in his hand. After summoning [Emperor Seahorse] in the previous turn and then casting the spells [Great Storm], [Sacrificial Doll], and [Forced Transfer], he was left with only two cards.

During Migo's turn, [Wind Demon God - Shuga] was added to Gongdi's hand due to the effect of [Called by Darkness], so Gongdi's hand increased to three cards.

And now, after drawing a new card from the deck and activating [Pot of Greed], Miyabi's hand instantly reached five cards. The cards he lost in the previous turn due to the presence of [Natural Wood Dragon] were slowly replenished.

After the Emperor Guang is released using the Sacrificial Doll to summon the Wind Demon God - Shuga from his hand, Gongdi has three cards left in his hand.

Having reached an agreement with his friend, he plans to continue the game and summon the ace monster from their decks!

"I activate the spell card [Pot of Greed] in my hand again! Draw two cards from my deck!"

With a Level 7 monster in his hand, Miyako activated "Chunonos Pot" again, replenishing his hand to four cards.

"Ugh...this is so cheating..."

Seeing that his younger brother had made up for the lost card in one fell swoop, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but complain.

The advantage gained from the counter-attack effect of [Natural Wood Dragon Beast] is no longer valid.

"Here it comes! I activate the Field Spell Card from my hand—[The Tomb of the Dead Emperor]!"

Seemingly having finally drawn the card he wanted, Gong Di's face lit up with a smug smile, and he then placed the card from his hand into the duel disk's arena area.

As the Field Spell Card was activated, a gray-white mist suddenly filled the area around the Labyrinth Brothers, Yusei, and Jaden Yuki. An ancient tomb full of majesty rose from the ground beneath their feet, and the originally bright duel arena was instantly shrouded in darkness.

One brazier after another was lit, dispelling the surrounding darkness and mist. When the mist cleared, a strange scene was revealed to everyone.

The marble floors exuding an ancient feel, the stone walls glowing red in the firelight, and the towering obelisks standing side by side, proclaiming supreme royal power...

Between them and the Labyrinth Brothers was a narrow passageway, on both sides of which were countless dark blue terracotta warriors, buried with them as funerary objects...

Their monsters floated in mid-air directly above the Terracotta Army.

"Amazing……"

Looking at the spectacular scenery around him, Jaden Yuki couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Is it coming? That monster..."

After glancing at the surrounding scenery, Yusei immediately understood his younger brother Gong's plan.

First, he frantically gained cards to make up for the card disadvantage and also got key cards into his hand. Then he activated a field spell card for high-level summoning. It seems that Miyabi is planning to compete with the card-disadvantage king, Jaden Yuki, and show Yusei and the others a crazy N-for-1 trade!

Gongdi, holding a card in his right hand, began explaining the effect of the Field Spell Card: "When the effect of [The Tomb of the Dead Emperor] is activated, both players can choose to pay 1000 Life Points to replace the Tribute of one monster, or pay 2000 Life Points to replace the Tribute of two monsters, during their Main Phase to Normal Summon a Superior Monster from their hand."

"Could it be?" Seeing the mysterious smile on Miyaji's face, Yuki Judai seemed to have thought of something.

"Just as you thought... I'll pay 2000 health points for a Superior Summon—[Thunder Demon God - Sanga] (Thunder Clan/Light/7-Star/Attack 2600/Defense 2200)!"

(Labyrinth Brothers' LP: 4700 → 2700)

After saying this, Gongdi slammed the card he was holding in his right hand onto the duel disk.

As he finished speaking, from the dense terracotta warriors lining both sides of the tomb passage, one terracotta warrior emerged and was released as a sacrifice in place of the monster, disappearing from the field. Then, a flash of lightning appeared, and a brown demon god with only its upper body appeared in the dueling arena, accompanied by light.

[Thunder God-Sanga], with four lightning orbs wrapped around his back, floated in front of Mige.

In this way, the three Prime Evils have now gathered on the field for the Labyrinth Brothers!

"Summoning two demons in one turn... what kind of chain is this..." Daichi Misawa, watching from the audience, couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the Labyrinth Brothers' series of maneuvers.

"No...it's not over yet..." Asuka, standing next to Daichi Misawa, looked at the situation on the field with a worried expression. As an honor student, she naturally knew very well the true trump card of the Labyrinth Brothers.

Now that the three demon gods have gathered, the monster with terrifying attack power is about to appear!

"Hehehehehe... Now I'll show you!"

"—The ultimate monster!"

Their smiles widened as the Labyrinth Brothers made this declaration in unison to Yusei and the others!

"Hehehehe... the ultimate..." Professor Chronos, who was lying on the edge of the dueling arena, couldn't help but start daydreaming as he listened to the Labyrinth Brothers' words.

Just as Professor Kunonos was idly fantasizing about the wonderful scene of Jaden Yuki being kicked out of Duel Academy, he suddenly sensed someone's presence beside him.

"Fuck...!"

Professor Kunonos turned his head and was startled to see the bald man suddenly appear beside him.

Principal Samejima, who had been sitting in the front row of the audience, appeared next to Professor Chronos at some point, making the same gesture as him, and lay down on the edge of the dueling arena with an expectant look on his face, watching the situation on the field.

"Principal! Please sit back down! You are the principal of this academy! You should always be mindful of your image!" Professor Kunonos reprimanded Principal Samejima in a hoarse voice, firmly adhering to the principle of "being strict with others and lenient with oneself."

"Oh! How cunning... I also wanted to watch this duel up close..."

"……no!"

"...How stingy!"

In front of Daitokuji-sensei, who was holding the Pharaoh and smiling, the two of them started bickering, completely forgetting their status as high-ranking members of the Duel Academy.

192 The Guardian of the Gate? Ha... You're in for a serious plot hole!

"When [Water Demon God - Saga], [Wind Demon God - Shuga], and [Thunder Demon God - Sanga] are all on the field, Tribute these three monsters to Special Summon - [Gatekeeper] (Warrior/DARK/Level 11/ATK 3750/DEF 3400)!"

With his right hand lightly clenched into a claw shape and extended forward, Gongdi sacrificed the three demon gods he had painstakingly summoned on the field to summon the ace monster in his hand.

The last being to receive this treatment was a supreme being known as [Halakti, the Creator God of Light]...

As Gongdi shouted, the characters on the foreheads of the three demon gods began to emit a dazzling light, enveloping their entire bodies.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the three demon gods, enveloped in light, combined to form a new monster with a gigantic body, just like when Manjoume used the Fusion Monster to summon [VWXYZ - Powerful Dragon Cannon]!

It has the body of the Thunder Demon God, the waist of the Wind Demon God, and the lower limbs of the Water Demon God. It is composed of three monsters and has an attack power of up to 3750 points. However, it is not the 11-star monster of the Fusion Monster - [Guardian of the Gate], and it roars intimidatingly in the direction of Yusei.

"Their deck was built specifically for team duels, and it really has no weaknesses..."

The sudden appearance of the 11-star monster made even Misawa Daichi, a spectator, feel a strong sense of oppression.

"Moreover, although they are two brothers, they work together like one person, perfectly complementing each other..."

"What are you planning to do, Yusei...?"

Asuka, unable to help but start to worry about Yusei, looked towards where Yusei was in the duel arena.

However, to her surprise, Yusei did not show despair at the powerful monster that appeared before her. Instead, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she slowly smiled...

"?" Asuka raised her eyebrows slightly, looking somewhat puzzled, and stared intently at Yusei's movements.

"Hehehe... This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

Seeing the Labyrinth Brothers summon their ace monster at a great cost, Yusei, who had been waiting for his chance, decisively activated his backrow face-down card: "Counter Trap Card [Divine Judgment] activated! Pay half of your Life Points to negate and destroy the Special Summon of [Guardian of the Gate]!"

(LP of Yusei & Jaden Yuki: 3000 → 1500)

"What...???"

"Holy crap!!! It's all gone (No way)!!!"

Seeing Yusei activate his face-down card at the perfect moment of summoning the monster, Miyako's smile instantly froze on his face, and the fanboy next to him even swore...

The pupils of both brothers dilated rapidly due to intense shock.

As a white light flashed, the darkness surrounding the entire imperial mausoleum was instantly replaced by a dazzling white light.

The Gate Guardian, who had just roared at Yusei, hadn't even had a chance to advance to the battle rank and launch an attack, nor even utter a scream, before being annihilated into dust in the air by the divine old man's aura...

A flash of white light instantly erased the gate guardian, who had replaced the terrifying three demon gods, from the scene.

The white light, leaving no trace, vanished in an instant, plunging the area back into darkness, as if nothing had ever happened.

The maze brothers, looking completely shocked, were once again left in an awkward, empty space...

"..."

Faced with this strange sight, the dueling arena fell into an eerie silence.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Professor Kunonos, who was closest to the scene, stared at the view before him, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

After Yusei took off with the [Great Storm] in the previous round, Miyabi was once again tricked by Yusei's trap card.

Compared to the previous round where only a few spell cards were lost, this time the loss was much more severe. Not only were Miyako's own monsters wiped out, but also all of Miyako's monsters on the field. It was as if Yusei's face-down cards had caused them to be wiped out...

"Hahahahahaha~~~!!!"

Seeing the labyrinth brothers looking utterly terrified, Yusei, whose "plan had been successfully executed," crossed his arms and wore a rather smug expression, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"juvenile……"

"When I Special Summoned the Light Emperor just now... you didn't activate this card... were you waiting for this moment!?" Fan, who finally realized Yusei's plan, pointed a trembling finger at Yusei and asked.

"That's right... Do you know how painful it was for me to hold back from activating this card?" Yusei, having successfully tricked his opponent, began to complain to the Labyrinth Brothers with a wronged expression.
