Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"We, who share the same fate, were brought together by destiny, and that's how the Titans Duelists came to be!"

At this point, Ohara's eyes blazed with fire, and his face hardened with unwavering resolve: "The reason we two have been attacking lone Obelisk Blue guys is for revenge!"

"...Let those guys who made fools of us taste what we feel like!"

Yusei: "So, you use the card betting rules to duel with them, defeating them while stealing their most valuable cards, is that right?"

"Yes...that's it."

Nodding to Yusei, Ohara raised his right hand in front of him, making a claw gesture: "When those arrogant Obelisk Blue guys kneel before us, weeping and begging us to spare him and not take his cards..."

"...That exhilarating sense of superiority was incredibly satisfying!"

"What a bunch of idiots! Who's going to let them get away with this? While they were mocking us, they should have been prepared for the day they would be punished!"

"They only want to gain benefits, only think about finding a sense of superiority from others, and when they themselves fall into a vulnerable position, they start begging for mercy..."

After pausing for a moment, Xiaoyuan finally gritted his teeth and said his last thought: "These bastards... What a joke! How dare they say such things?"

"If it weren't for the fact that murder is illegal, I would have skinned them alive, pulled out their tendons, and ground their bones to dust!"

Youxing: “…”

Upon hearing Ohara's true thoughts, Yusei fell silent.

Since enrolling, he, being in Osiris Red, had experienced many similar incidents. However, because of his own strength, those who caused trouble were eventually beaten to their knees and called him "father," without making any waves.

Yusei himself never took these passersby seriously, treating them merely as a group of monsters to gain experience.

However, Ohara was different. His resentment had accumulated too deeply and he had no effective outlet. In addition, due to his own personality, he was unable to openly display his true strength in the dueling arena and slap the faces of his mocking opponents...

I don't feel nervous as long as I'm not standing on a stage in front of thousands of people.

As long as I don't reveal my identity, I won't be discovered by others...

As long as I take away their precious rare cards, I can feel immense pleasure...

Various factors combined led Kohara to choose this path of revenge, joining forces with Ohara, who was also a victim, to engage in this act of "fighting violence with violence."

It's understandable, but not worth learning from or emulating.

Moreover, from the current standpoint, both Ohara and Ōhara are his enemies.

To sympathize with the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

Let's talk about this after we win this duel!

I can roughly understand how you feel...

At this point, Yusei suddenly changed the subject: "But we're still in the middle of a duel, and I can't let you go just because I feel sorry for you."

"Hmph! I didn't expect you to give up the duel anyway. In fact, if you did, I would look down on you!" Ohara rubbed his nose with his thumb and prepared himself accordingly: "Come on! Yusei! Defeat me fair and square with a duel!"

"...As you wish!"

Seeing Yusei's resolve reflected in Kohara's eyes, he ended the conversation and raised his Duel Disk.

"I activate the Spell Card from my hand—[Fusion]!"

Facing the enlightened Ohara, Yusei raised the [Fusion] spell card in his hand: "Send [Elemental HERO Electro] and [Elemental HERO Goldblade] from my hand to the Graveyard as Fusion Materials, and Special Summon a Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck!"

"Come out!"

"The thunder and the earth meet, and a golden hero with an indestructible body!"

"Fusion Summon! [Elemental Hero - Ionizing Claw Warrior] (Warrior/Earth/8-Star/ATK 2600/DEF 2300)!"

Golden lightning streaked across the sky and tore the earth apart.

Accompanied by the light of fusion summoning, a hero, surrounded by golden lightning, covered in golden and blue armor, and adorned with massive golden pincers on his arms, descended upon this place at the call of Yusei.

Facing the void before him, the Ionizer Man opened his arms, unleashing his immense power.

In the forest at night, the Ionizing Claw Man, as dazzling as the sun, instantly attracted the attention of everyone nearby.

"Golden...Golden Armored Dragon Beast???"

While Jaden Yuki was dueling with Ohara, he saw the monster that appeared in front of Yusei and couldn't help but call out the name of a certain Digimon.

In terms of appearance, the two are indeed incredibly similar.

"...Huh? Big brother, you watch Digimon too?" Upon hearing Jaden Yuki's words, Sho Marufuji couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Hehehe... Have I been exposed?"

Scratching his head, Jaden Yuki gave an embarrassed look.

Even though I'm already a high school student, I still have to watch anime.

Not only do you have to watch it, you have to stay up all night to watch the premiere!

"Yuki Judai... I am your opponent!"

对着在决斗中分心的游城十代，通过魔法卡【古之规则】召唤出了手牌里的大怪的大原，伸出了自己的右手大声喊道：“【巨歧蜥·魔蜥义豪】（爬虫类/水/8星/攻击力2950/守备力2800）攻击【元素英雄·火焰翼人】（战士族/风/6星/攻击力2100/守备力1200）！”

"Take this!...Magic God's Bite!"

In pursuit of ultimate power, the rampaging demon lizard repeatedly modified its own body, ultimately teetering on the brink of destruction. Upon hearing Ohara's command, it eagerly took off and pounced directly towards the location of the Flame Winged Man.

Facing the Flame Winged Man who had been tackled to the ground, [Giant Lizard - Demon Lizard Yihao] extended its claws, which were sharp enough to cut through steel, and then tore his favorite monster to pieces right before Jaden Yuki's eyes.

"Oh no! I'm still in the middle of a duel!"

Turning his gaze away, as the Flame Winged Man was destroyed by Ohara and he himself suffered 850 points of damage, Jaden Yuki activated his backrow face-down card: "At the very moment the monster was destroyed, I activate the Trap Card hidden in my backrow—[Hero Mark]! Special Summon one Level 4 or lower [Elemental HERO] monster from my Deck!"

"...Special Summon in Defense Position! [Elemental HERO Nendoroid] (Defense 2000)"

Ohara: "Defense posture? Are you planning to just drag this out like this?"

"No! This is just the beginning of the counterattack!"

With a slight smile at Ohara, Jaden Yuki then looked at his deck.

The next card draw will definitely be the magic card [Fusion]!

That's right, it was said by the legendary Jaden Yuki, the prince of divine draws!

The kind that's 100% guaranteed to win!

……

...

Just as Ohara and Jaden Yuki were locked in fierce combat, the duel between Yusei and Ohara was also nearing its end.

After performing the fusion summon, Yusei had already foreseen the outcome of the duel.

"The effect of [Elemental Hero: Ionizing Claw Man] is activated!"

"Discard one card from your hand to destroy one of your opponent's Attack Position monsters!"

The destructive effect of Ionizer is not limited to once per turn, which means that as long as you have enough cards in your hand, you can theoretically target them one by one.

Sending the [Executioner - Moshuro] from his hand to the graveyard, Yusei then pointed his finger at Ohara: "[Giant Orc] in attack position, break it!"

As Yusei spoke, Ionizer Man raised his right arm, crackling with golden lightning, toward the giant orc.

"--boom!"

Golden lightning gathered in the Ionizer's hand, transforming into a ball of lightning that shot straight toward the giant orc, shattering it into pieces.

The surging lightning scattered and danced, even affecting the Goblindberg, which was positioned next to the Giant Orc and was in a defensive stance; its entire body was flipped over.

"Ionizer Man with 2600 attack power, and Blaze Man with 1200 attack power... but this level of attack power isn't enough to reduce my health points!"

Brushing aside the smoke from the lightning explosion in front of him, Ohara struck a provocative pose in Yusei's direction.

Just as Ohara said, even if [Giant Orc] is destroyed by the effect of Ionizer, he still has [Goblindbergh] in defense position on his field.

Although this monster has a defense rating of 0, its defense stat is high enough to block one of Yusei's attacks for Ohara.

"No, it's already over!"

With a slight smile, Yusei continued, "[Elemental HERO - Ionizer] has a defense-piercing effect. When attacking a monster in Defense Position, it can inflict battle damage on the opponent whose ATK exceeds its DEF value!"

"What?!...Is that so?!"

Upon hearing the effect of [Elemental HERO - Ionizer], Ohara's face showed a shocked expression: "But even so, your two monsters on the field only have 3800 ATK combined, while I have a full 4000 NP! In this situation, what do you plan to do?"

"Well... just watch and see!"

Looking at the Equipment Spell Card [Beloved Hero] in his hand, Yusei smiled knowingly.

Equipping this card on [Elemental HERO - Ionizer] will increase Ionizer's ATK by a factor of 4900, boosting its DEF to 4900!

Combined with the armor-piercing effect of Ionizing Claw Man and the secondary attack effect of [Beloved Hero], this one monster alone is enough to deal a devastating blow to Ohara!

However, besides this card, there is actually another method.

"Fight!"

Waving to enter his battle phase, Yusei immediately issued an attack command to the hero monster in front of him: "[Elemental HERO - Ionizer] Attack [Goblindberg]!"

"—Golden Lightning Storm!"

Golden light gradually emerged on the body of the Ionizer, making the already brilliant and dazzling Ionizer even more radiant, like the sun!

Even the darkness of night that permeated the surroundings was instantly dispelled by this sudden burst of golden light...

The lightning that was originally wrapped around the arm of the Ionizer Man gradually converged towards the palm of the Ionizer Man, accompanied by the golden light around him.

After that, the Ionizer, having finished gathering its energy, slowly opened its eyes, raised its right arm towards Ohara, and swung its iron fist at Goblindberg, who was in defense stance.

--boom! ! !

Golden lightning waves erupted with the punch thrown by the Ionizer, scattering wildly and shooting straight into the sky. In the process, they annihilated Goblindberg, which was in the path of the impact, into dust in the air, leaving not a trace...

"hiss……!"

As he brushed past the golden lightning storm coming from the opposite direction, Kohara, who vaguely felt the despair of death in that instant, also collapsed onto the grass behind him in shock after suffering a penetrating damage of up to 2600 points.
