Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Mizawa?" Upon hearing Misawa Daichi's words, everyone, including Manjoume, was taken aback.

Goodness... it turns out that you, who look like an honest guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have prepared more than one deck!

"I'm sorry to have worried you all..." Daichi Misawa gave Yusei and the others an apologetic smile and walked towards the dueling arena, starting to unbutton his uniform in front of a bewildered Manjoume.

"What the hell are you doing...?" Seeing Misawa Daichi's posture of taking off his clothes without warning, Manjou instinctively hugged himself tightly.

Could it be that Daichi Misawa is so angry and embarrassed that he's planning to anally kill himself...?

Stop it! Someone, stop this madman!

"What you've discarded is merely the challenge deck from when you first enrolled! My real deck has always been with me at all times! Look! These are the six decks that have become part of my blood and soul!"

Before the terrified Manjoume, Misawa Daichi suddenly ripped open his uniform, revealing multiple cardholders hidden beneath it, resembling a bomb vest from a terrorist attack.

"Swift as the wind, still as water, aggressive as fire, and solid as the earth, followed by deep darkness and light shining from the darkness... These represent the six attributes of Duel Monsters, and these are my six decks!"

"Six decks? Hmph! That bluffing nonsense, let my flames of resentment burn it all away!"

Overwhelmed by Daichi Misawa's imposing presence, Manjoume also took out his deck from the card pouch at his waist.

The deck that Manjoume took out was not the [VWXYZ] deck he obtained from Professor Kunonos, but the Hell Demon deck he used in his initial duel with Yusei.

Manjoume wanted to prove that he could win the duel on his own, even without the help of others.

"The fire of resentment..." Having gleaned information from Manjoume's unintentional remark, Misawa Daichi decisively drew his water attribute deck from the bomb-shaped card pack strapped to his body. "I've decided! This is the deck to defeat you!"

"Set up!"

Daichi Misawa stepped onto the duel arena, shoved his deck into the duel disk, and then shouted at Manjoume, who was standing directly opposite him, "Manjoume! You'll soon find out whether this deck is just a bluff!"

"Mizawa, you bastard!!!" Seeing Misawa Daichi dare to boast in front of him, Manjoume angrily raised the Duel Disk in his hand.

One or two of them are like this, how dare they look down on me!

Unforgivable! ! !

"Duel!"*2

(LP of Wan Zhang Mu: 4000)

(LP of Misawa Daichi: 4000)

"I'll attack first, draw a card!"

As soon as the duel began, Manjoume decisively seized the initiative from Misawa Daichi.

"I summon the [Death Knight] (Demon/Dark/4-star/Attack 1900/Defense 1800) in attack mode!"

A death knight riding a black horse, emerging from hell and carrying a black mist, appeared before Manjou.

"A 4-star monster with an attack power of 1900 points?!"

Upon seeing the monster that appeared on the field, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Hehehe... That's not all! The [Death Knight] has the ability to release itself to negate and destroy the effects of the opponent's monsters!"

A sinister laugh escaped his lips as Manjoume extended his finger towards the calmly composed Misawa Daichi: "How about it, Misawa! Are you frightened by such a powerful monster?"

"..."

Without answering Manjou's question, Misawa Daichi simply stared at the Death Knight in silence.

"Hmph! Showing off! I'll lay a trap and end the turn."

Having buried a card in his hand in his back row, Manjoume waved his hand to end his turn.

Not seeing the terrified expression on Misawa's face that he had imagined, Manjoume couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

(Manjō-moe's hand size: 6 → 4)

"My turn, draw a card!"

With a calm expression, Misawa Daichi calmly drew a new card from his deck.

What deck did Misawa choose?

"Wind attribute or water attribute?"

When the people around saw Daichi Misawa draw a card, they couldn't help but start guessing what kind of deck he had.

205 Isn't it common sense in card games to use deception to achieve the desired effect?

Facing the confident-looking Manjoume, Misawa Daichi revealed a monster card in his hand—a Level 5 Water-attribute monster called [Deuterium Dragon].

"I discard the [Deuterium Dragon] (Dinosaur/WATER/Level 5/ATK 2000/DEF 1400) from my hand to activate its effect, adding one [Chemical Fusion] Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to my hand!"

"It's a water attribute!" Upon seeing the monster card in Daichi Misawa's hand, everyone immediately understood the type of deck he was using.

"Don't even think about it! [Dead Knight]'s effect activates, freeing itself to negate and destroy your monster's effect activation!"

Seeing that Misawa Daichi had activated the monster's effect, Manjoume's [Death Knight] on the field immediately reacted, swinging down...

The greatsword in his hand directly interrupted the search effect of [Deuterium Dragon]. After that, he himself was enveloped by the black mist around him and sent to the graveyard of Manjōme.

"Huh? Isn't it a bit too fast for Manjoume to activate the effect at this moment?" Yuki Judai couldn't help but show a puzzled expression at Manjoume's somewhat excessive reaction.

You could have waited until the most crucial moment for Misawa Daichi to activate the [Dead Knight]'s nullification effect. There was no need to rush like this. Misawa Daichi hadn't even summoned a monster yet, and you had already left the field empty. Wouldn't you just be waiting to be attacked after that?

"The effect of [Death Knight] is guaranteed to activate. As long as the opponent activates a monster's effect, regardless of whether Manjoume wants it or not, [Death Knight] will be forced to destroy the opponent's monster together with it..." Yusei answered his question after hearing Jaden Yuki's mutterings.

Misawa Daichi must have guessed this, which is why he deliberately lured a group of Manjoume's monsters.

"Hmph! All you do is try to be clever!"

Seeing the Death Knight leave his field, Manjoume realized what Misawa Daichi was thinking.

Level 5 monsters cannot be directly Normal Summoned to the field. Generally, you must Tribute one of your own monsters to Summon it from your hand to the field.

Misawa Daichi did this intentionally.

“Now I can activate monster effects at will!” With a slight smirk and a hint of pride on his face, Daichi Misawa placed another monster from his hand onto the Duel Disk: “I summon [Mathematician] in Attack Position (Spellcaster/EARTH/Level 3/ATK 1500/DEF 500)!”

With a burst of light, an old man wearing an academic cap, round, thick-rimmed glasses, a red and white robe, a beard that hung from his chin to his feet, and a slightly hunched posture appeared before Misawa Daichi, waving a staff in his hand.

"At this moment, I activate the monster effect of [Mathematician]. When this card is successfully summoned, you can send one Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck to the Graveyard."

"The card I chose to send to the graveyard is the [Carbon Dragon] from my deck (Dinosaur/EARTH/Level 3/ATK 800/DEF 600)!"

The mathematician raised his staff, and then the indicator light on Misawa Daichi's duel disk in his left hand flashed, automatically ejecting a card—the very same [Carbon Dragon] that Misawa Daichi had previously declared.

Daichi Misawa, who sent "Carbon Dragon" to the Graveyard, immediately activated the monster's effect: "I banish 'Carbon Dragon' from my Graveyard to activate this effect! Special Summon 1 Level 7 or lower Dragon Normal Monster from your hand or Deck in Defense Position!"

"Come forth! [Diamond Dragon] (Dragon/Light/7-star/Attack 2100/Defense 2800)!"

As Misawa called, a magnificent triceratops, its entire body covered in diamonds and shimmering with dazzling light, stood guard in front of him, its enormous wings outstretched.

With a defense rating of 2800 points, perhaps only the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon could penetrate it!

"Gu..."

Seeing Misawa Daichi summon the giant monster from his deck in an instant, Manjoume couldn't help but grit his teeth.

His back row is always covered by the trap card "Call of the Dead," which can pull the "Dead Knight" from the graveyard back at any time.

However, Manjoume was worried that Misawa Daichi would trick him with the monster effect again, so he held back from activating the card. As a result, the current situation has arisen, and the unrestrained Misawa Daichi has instantly summoned a Level 7 dragon...

Fortunately, this 7-star monster is in defense position and cannot change its attack or defense position during the turn it is summoned. The only monster that can launch an attack is the 3-star Mathematician with 1500 attack power.

"The battle has begun! The [Mathematician] is launching a direct attack on Manjoume!"

Having finished his deployment, Misawa Daichi immediately entered the battle phase.

"Don't underestimate me, you rascal!"

Just as the mathematician raised his staff, intending to unleash a magic missile on Manjoume, Manjoume, feeling tricked and furious, raised his hand and activated a face-down card in his back row: "Continuous Trap Card [Cry of the Living Dead] activated! Special Summon 1 monster from my Graveyard in Attack Position!"

"Return once more from the realm of death! [Death Knight]!"

The Death Knight riding a black horse has returned to the field due to the effect of a trap card.

Because the Death Knight's effect is not limited to once per turn, it still retains the ability to release itself, thereby negating and destroying monster effects.

"Hmm... Manjoume clearly has a card in his back row that can revive the Death Knight, so why didn't he activate that card when Misawa summoned the monster?"

Marufuji Sho, who was watching the scene, asked a question with a puzzled expression.

"Is there even a question? Of course, they were fooled by Misawa..."

Before Yusei could speak, Judai Yuki, who understood the situation, readily answered Sho Marufuji's question.

Having a "Cry of the Living Dead" card in the back row can help block the opponent's attack. If the monster gets tricked and disappears, then Manjoume will really be left only to passively take the beating...

"Oh? Is it that monster again?"

Seeing the resurrected Death Knight, Daichi Misawa couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression, and he stopped his direct attack on Manjou.

Because a new monster appeared on Manjoume's field, the mathematician's attack was able to be withdrawn.

A mathematician with an attack power of 1500 is clearly no match for a death knight with an attack power of 1900, so there's no need for Perfect World to throw his life away in vain.

206 Arrival! Horus, the Black Flame Dragon!

"Bury a card, end the turn."

By placing a card from his hand into the back of the Duel Disk, Daichi Misawa ended his turn. Now that the Battle Phase was over, he had no intention of engaging in any further action.

With a Diamond Dragon with 2800 Defense Points present, Misawa Daichi now feels fearless!

(Misawa Daichi's hand size: 6 → 3)

"My turn, draw!" When it was his turn, Manjoume drew a new card from his deck. The moment he saw the card, a smug smile appeared on his face.

It's finally here! My Flame of Vengeance!

"I sacrifice the [Death Knight] on the field to Superior Summon [Horus Black Flame Dragon LV6] (Dragon/Flame/6-Star/ATK 2300/DEF 1600)!"

As Manjou finished speaking, a monster with a hawk's head and a dragon's body, covered in silver-black armor and carrying black flames, floated in front of Manjou.

"【Horus's Black Flame Dragon LV6】, huh...?"
