Yu-Gi-Oh! The Pitfall Hero

"Yusei, let me show you the true ace of my deck!"

He inserted the "Pot of Greed" into the Duel Disk and activated it. With a confident expression, Oyama didn't even look at it before drawing two cards directly from his deck, as if he believed that what cards he would draw was already predetermined.

"Looks like Taiyama's going to use his ace! This duel is about to get interesting!"

With an excited expression, Yuki Jaden waved his hands without a care for anyone else.

"Oh? The ace of the newspaper deck? Could it be the [King of Heavenly Prisons]?"

A playful glint flashed in his eyes as Yusei crossed his arms and patiently awaited Daiyama's next move.

While gazing at the mountains, Yusei also glanced out of the corner of his eye at the card he had hidden in the back row.

Ha ha……

Old man...

You're not the only one who knows how to use it, Ooyama Hirai of Obelisk Blue!

I'm going to give you a big gift later!

You'd better keep this safe!

"It's coming!"

With his muscular arms crossed in front of him, Da Shan's expression turned serious.

At this moment, the mountains were in an extremely focused state.

The gentle night breeze, the chirping of insects in the mountains, the noise of others, and the crashing of the rapids were all irrelevant to him at this moment. In his heart, there was only one thing left.

That is—drawing cards!

"This magic card is my trump card!"

"I send one of my cards to the graveyard to activate the Spell Card—[One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw]!"

Sending a card from his hand to the Graveyard as the activation cost, Daiyama then raised the Spell Card in his hand above his head and activated it: "Watch closely, everyone! This card represents my full power right now, the culmination of my training! It's also the crystallization of my card-drawing secrets!"

-

[One-Hit Kill! Iaijutsu Gacha]

(Normal magic)

Effect: You can only activate 1 card with this name per turn.

You can activate this effect by discarding 1 card from your hand. Send the number of cards your opponent controls from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard, then draw 1 card from your Deck and reveal it to both players. In the case of "One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw," the card sent to the Graveyard is destroyed.

After that, inflict damage to your opponent equal to 2000 times the number of cards destroyed by this effect and sent to the Graveyard.

If not, you choose the number of cards sent from your deck to the graveyard by this effect and return them to your deck.

"...One-hit kill? What does this have to do with Hayato's dad's move? Could it also be something like [Table Flip] that blows up the whole field...?"

Looking at Hayato beside him, Marufuji Sho couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The scene of Hayato's father dominating the entire scene is still vivid in my mind.

As a card that also boasts the title of "one-hit kill" and is highly anticipated by the mountain, it must be quite powerful.

"It's this card...!"

A look of surprise flashed in Yusei's eyes, and he paused for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he abandoned the idea of ​​activating the [Divine Declaration] in the back row.

Although he could directly activate a noble counter-trap card to negate and destroy the activation of the Mountain's Spell Card.

But doing that would be too pointless.

Having finally gotten this opportunity, Yusei wanted to see if Daisan could do what he said and turn the current situation around.

Now, the mountain's life points are down to only 1900, and there are no monsters on the field.

On Yusei's field is Elemental HERO Wilder, who is equipped with Cyclone Boomerang, which increases his attack power to 2000 points and is unaffected by trap card effects.

No matter how you look at it, Dashan appears to be in a desperate situation.

If Da Shan cannot resolve the current situation this round, he will be attacked by the Wilderness Knight's greatsword in the next round, resulting in his health points reaching zero and facing defeat...

"One face-down card, one monster card, and one Equip Spell Card... You currently have three cards on your field..."

After reviewing the current situation on the field, Ooyama declared with a wave of his arm, "Based on the effect of the Spell Card 'One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw,' I can send three cards from my Deck to the Graveyard, and then draw one card from my Deck! If that drawn card is also 'One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw,' hehehe..."

At this point, Da Shan paused, a smug expression on his face: "At that time, all the cards on the field will be destroyed and sent to the graveyard, and then the opponent will be dealt damage equal to 2000 points of damage to the cards sent to the graveyard by this effect!"

"Damn... another one that blows the audience away!"

"What?! 2000 points of damage from a single card... How can there be such an outrageous effect?"

"Wait! Daiyama has two face-down cards on the field, and Yusei has three cards, including face-down cards... That means there are five cards on the field now. If the effect of 'One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw' is successfully activated, Yusei will suffer a massive 10000 damage..."

"This is just too outrageous!"

Upon hearing Da Shan describe the effect of the magic card in his hand, everyone's faces showed surprise.

They originally thought that Yusei had driven Daisan into a corner.

Surprisingly, this seemingly uncouth savage man from the mountains actually had such a trump card hidden inside!

One card can render all previous efforts futile!

"【One-Hit Kill! Iaijutsu Draw】This card's effect is indeed very strong..."

At this point, Yusei changed the subject: "But the prerequisite is that you can actually draw it! Daiyama, do you think you can do it?"

"Ha! You'll find out soon enough whether I get it or not! It's all about the thrill!"

With a smirk, he sent the magic card in his hand along with three other cards from his deck to the graveyard, and then laughed, "Since I activated this card, it means I have absolute confidence!"

"I believe the God of Duel will not let my year of hard training go to waste!"

He placed his index and middle fingers on the deck, then closed his eyes. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he forcefully pulled out the card that was currently at the top of the deck!

The card, with its back facing the mountain, drew a bright arc in the air, carrying the thoughts of everyone present, and began to beat in unison.

This card, on which Daiyama placed his high hopes and embodied all his beliefs, if it is indeed, as he said, the second "One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw," then Yusei will suffer 10000 points of damage and be defeated instantly!

If not, then in the next round, Da Shan will be served with a giant cleaver from the Wilderness Knight and die on the spot...

Therefore, it is entirely fair to say that...

Everything hinges on this one draw!

Whether Da Shan wins or loses, whether he becomes a hero or a coward, it all depends on this draw!

"The card I drew..."

Slowly turning the card that had been facing away from him around, Da Shan, who had previously made such a bold statement, couldn't help but swallow hard.

Although he had acted very confidently just now, as if he had a cheat code and was sure he would draw the card he wanted.

But in reality, he couldn't help but feel nervous at that moment.

Damn... they've already said those harsh words...

If I don't get it...

That would be awkward...

Why not just jump into the river then? There's a waterfall right next to it anyway...

A jumble of chaotic thoughts flashed through his mind, and a mountain, the turquoise color of a magic card, was reflected in his eyes. An uncontrollable look of excitement spread across his face.

Okay! It's confirmed to be a magic card!

This is sure!

I've already won!

The god of duels has favored me.

He told me that I could go up.

And so, my last internal struggle vanished completely.

"Hahahaha... The card I drew is [One-Hit Kill! Iaijutsu Draw]!"

Responding to the call of the God of Duels, Oyama showed everyone the cards in his hand without hesitation, without even having time to take a closer look at the cards he had drawn.

There are no other options, and there is no option of not being selected.

Although Daiyama didn't look at it closely, he was certain that the magic card in his hand was the one he wanted.

That's why he showed it to others without hesitation.

It's either life or death; there's no third option.

"And that concludes the matter..."

With a look of relief on his face, Da Shan seemed to be saying goodbye to someone. He slowly raised his head and whispered to himself in the direction of the sky, "Goodbye, unlucky guy, and my cowardice!"

The card in Daiyama's hand was indeed the same in appearance as the one previously sent to the graveyard, namely "One-Hit Kill! Iai Draw," and was not some other magic card.

Dashan, who made the bold statement, did indeed seize the opportunity to turn the tide and shift the advantage to his side, just as he said.

"Damn! Is this kind of thing... really reasonable?"

Looking at the card that Daiyama showed him, Yusei had a "This works?" expression on his face.

If I had to describe it, he was in a state of confusion, like wanting to scratch his head.

no……

Having set so many flags, and not even carefully looking at the cards, shouldn't Da Shan fail to draw the cards at this point, then die on the spot, and slap himself in the face?

How did I manage to be selected?!

"Hahahaha... Yusei! Take this 10000 points of damage!" With a triumphant laugh, Oyama stretched out his arm and pointed at Yusei, who looked surprised.

After defeating the current Yusei, Daisan's training will officially come to an end.
